To begin with, we need to understand that the challenges we face today involve all sorts of past–life experiences. Once we gain awareness of these links to other lives, it’s possible to handle challenges in a better way this time around. We can end a chain of karma that has hung on for centuries. Odd as it may seem, you had a special reason for coming into this lifetime. It was to become a more godlike being, but most people do not realize this fact. They assume that birth is a fancy of destiny. The Polishing of Soul All the lives you have ever lived were for the polishing of Soul.

My daddy drove right through a stop sign, and he crashed the car. I went through the windshield and lay on the ground for a long time before anyone came to help me. I died. “When I was big, though, my name was Amanda. And I was big like your mommy.” The fifteen-year-old sometimes had her questions about the reality of reincarnation
