Yours Is One Of Many Truths

We are all immersed in the culture that we grew up in. So much in fact that we are never really going to be able to escape its influence.

If you were born in America you will never really understand the Chinese culture. Your brain was just not wired to do so.

The problem comes when we start to believe our culture is better than another culture or our culture is the correct way of doing things and others are wrong.

We should only look at our way as different. A difference that is necessary for this world to thrive. It is the uniqueness of each culture that makes our world a diverse and incredible place to live.

In no area do we see more struggle and conflict because of the differences in culture play out than through religion.

It is the pattern (and there are exceptions) to believe the religion of your culture to be correct.

Actually no one is correct and everyone is correct. It’s a paradox. Sometimes something can be both true and false.

It is easy to see why many become lost in believing their own religion is “the one and only truth”.

The religion immerses them even deeper into their culture.

Consider a church service.

You may go to an incredible structure dedicated to your religion. The building is truly impressive. The intricate, architectural design of the building, the stained glass windows, the total atmosphere can be awe inspiring. Surely this is real.

There is art work in the building. Art created by men and women who threw unbridled passion, commitment and feeling into their work. You see skilled masterpieces created by men and women who have incredible talents and perhaps know more than you about what your religion means to the world and how to express that meaning. Surely this is real.

You sing hymns which stir your heart to feelings of indescribably bliss. Those who wrote those lyrics that speak to your heart and brought about those euphoric melodies had to be inspired by something outside themselves. Surely this is real.

You listen to a person speak with passion and power about your religion. You see real emotion. You sometimes experience joy. You sometimes experience sadness. You see the laughter and the tears. Surely this is real.

You are surrounded by a group who believe exactly what you do. Again you can see you are all feeling the emotion. You are sharing in each others joy. You are sharing in each others sadness. Surely this is real.

It is real.

It is very real.

But it is also real for other cultures who are experiencing the same thing but in a different way.

Yours is not “the truth”. Yours is one of many truths.

It is a hard concept for many to understand. But when you finally grasp it your world truly does become unlimited.

Conscious Level versus Location Level

Dr Raven Dolick M.s.D.

Feb 8, 2016

One of the many metaphysical topics that cause confusion today is the concept of ascension to a higher level of existence.

Many teachers have said that we have had opportunities in recent years to ascend to the fourth "dimension" (higher-physical fourth density) and even the fifth "dimension" (nonphysical fifth density.) And yet, here we are, all standing around in third density. No one has ascended, none of our friends have suddenly disappeared into higher realms of existence, and it can all end up sounding like empty promises.

The promises actually weren't empty; they were valid concepts that were simply misunderstood by the teachers. In our 2012 gateway course, for example, the pathway into fifth-density, soul consciousness was opened wide to those who participated in the daily attunements. Although we were teaching people how to reach soul consciousness, we didn't suggest that anyone would physically disappear and relocate into a higher realm. With the enormous support given to all of us by the ascended masters, the 2012 course was a roaring success in helping people establish access to fifth-density, soul-realm consciousness.

Let's look at some new terminology that will clear away the confusion.

Attendees on that course now have the ability to reach 5D soul consciousness at any time. That means reaching the 5D CONSCIOUS LEVEL while their physical bodies are still located in this 3D LOCATION LEVEL. Conscious Level and Location Level are often two different things.

Even though your physical body is stationed in the 3D Location Level, your Conscious Level can vary from minute to minute. You can be focused on a practical challenge requiring 3D thinking one minute, then go into heart-centered 4D consciousness the next minute and then, with some training, launch even further into 5D soul consciousness.

Here's another example of Conscious Level versus Location Level. Bear in mind that all things in Creation have some form of consciousness because everything in the universe is composed of consciousness. Energy is no exception; it is composed of consciousness in a compressed form.

At the lowest density of awareness exist the building blocks of the physical universe - basic chemical elements like hydrogen, copper, calcium and silicon. These basic elements exhibit a 1D (first-density) Conscious Level, yet they exist with us in this 3D world. Their Location Level is 3D even though their Conscious Level is 1D.

A little further up the scale of consciousness is the plant kingdom in the 2D, second-density Conscious Level. Again, their 3D Location Level is different to their 2D Conscious Level. In fact, there is no Planet Earth in manifestation below our 3D level of existence.

The primary consciousness of Gaia, the Mother Earth, exists in 7D seventh-density consciousness, which is the first layer of the cosmic realms of awareness. Besides her root consciousness in 7D, Gaia maintains a presence in the 6D angelic realms, the 5D soul realms, the 4D subtle realms, and the 3D physical realm.

So, when do we get out of 3D and physically move up into the more subtle physical world of 4D? No one on the planet has ever known the answer to that question but, when it happens, it will be looked back upon as the main event of The Shift. So, even though we refer to these changing times as The Shift, they are really leading up to the big event of a migration of all matter into 4D, which may occur either suddenly or gradually.

When it happens, The Shift into the 4D Location Level will include everyone. There will be no early ascenders disappearing from 3D and moving into 4D ahead of time. The reason for this is simple: No individual can invoke enough of the energy required to transform their physical body from 3D into 4D. The planet has the energy required and, when she transforms her physical body from a 3D Location Level to 4D, our bodies, like all physical matter, will go along for the ride.

The rapid changes leading up to The Shift have been accelerating since the 1960's. As part of the ongoing evolution of the galaxy, the Earth is required to move up in vibration. Rather than respond to the Divine directive immediately, she chose to spend several decades preparing humanity with higher energies. When humankind is sufficiently ready to make the transition into a higher physical density, she will vibrationally "move up in the heavens" and we will then be located in the 4D frequency band of existence.

In the meantime, the doorway is open for you to experience higher states of consciousness than ever before. You can tune into your 5D Conscious Level of soul awareness, gaining valuable insights into how you can transform your life for the better.

The Big Lie and Beliefs Are Being Shook Today

Dr Raven Dolick M.s.D.

Feb 7, 2016

all rights reserved

2016 RavenStar Enchantments

In times like these, times of distress & fear, it's so important that we are honest about the reflection we see in our world. Fearful times are the result of each of us creating with our own fear, worry, stress & anxiety. This is the programming that most humans in the so called "civilized" world experience since birth. We have been taught to be afraid, of government, GOD, neighbors, people who are not like us. We've been taught that there really isn't enough of the good stuff to go around so we compete for those things we have been deceived into believing make us important.

As we've watched the unfolding on the Boston Bombing and martial law we've been told to either be very afraid of even more terrorist or to take comfort in the big vehicles and armed men in the neighborhoods where we live. Even if you don't live in Boston, you are being acclimated to this type of behavior being normal and good. The BIG LIE is based on you not thinking for yourself. You have been led to think and believe in your powerlessness, that only some force outside yourself can make you safe or reward you for your goodness.

Free yourself from the Big Lie

Violence Anger Fear Part of the Big Lie

The BIG LIE needs you to continue feeding it with your fear, greed, worry & stress. It needs you to keep it going. You can withdraw from the matrix of the lie. It will feel uncomfortable and unnatural for a while. Others may even mock you or threaten you trying to get you back in line. The choice is yours. You can continue to believe in and create according to the energy principles of The BIG LIE or move into a new understanding and experience of yourself as Consciousness.

In order to begin a new experience of yourself you must first be totally honest with the role of fear and beliefs in your life. ALL beliefs are limits. Each and everyone is limited only that what is held inside the "belief box". You continue to create the same experiences over and over limited by the belief. There is nothing else there. The Belief is everything that you will experience.

Rather than beliefs, move into ideas, thoughts, experiences as Consciousness. Consciousness is Who You Are. Living from this vantage point directs thought / mind / feeling / emotion / actions into line with what you, as Consciousness really wants to have the experience of. That's why you are here, to have experiences. The BIG LIE would keep you in the belief box, the limits of one belief after another. Consciousness frees you to be and experience whatever you can imagine.

The choice is yours and yours alone.

ENOCHIAN

The Invention or Discovery of Enochian

Dr Raven Dolick M.s.D.

Feb 6, 2016

all rights reserved

While dismissed in scientific circles, the idea that we could arrive at some language that more accurately or efficiently communicates with spirits or our own deep minds is a common one in magic. The most famous of attempts to do is often called Enochian, although the creator, John Dee, called it "the Angelic Language." John Dee, who was court astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I in the sixteenth century, specifically characterized his attempt to contact angelic beings and learn their language as an attempt to recover an anterior Ur-language that was spoken by Adam before the fall.
What Dee ended up with, thanks to the help of his friend Edward Kelley, and is a collection of short poetic utterances and many, many names, all derived from complex tablets. While Kelley was well known to be a charlatan in other things (he was famous for attempting to pass off fake gold as an alchemical success, for example), and while there are places in his records of his work with Dee where he tries, quite obviously, to lie about what the spirits are saying, it's not so easy to dismiss the entire proceeding as a fraud. Dee would ask Kelley to sit at a table and look into a shew stone or scrying device. Kelley would, presumably, enter some sort of trance while Dee prayed for angels to appear. Eventually, Kelley would announce the presence of an angel, and Dee would converse through the interpretation of Kelley. This procedure led to a series of complex tablets, filled with letters, whose general internal consistency must have meant Kelley, if a charlatan, had a profound memory. From these tablets, by some means or code now obscure to us (despite the fact that we have Dee’s notes), the angels would point to certain letters, which Kelley reported and Dee transcribed. These letters spelled out eighteen angelic keys or calls, word by word, backwards. Once composed, the angels would provide translation, which Dee would try to match up with the calls line by line.
The main attraction of Dee’s system is that it provides an almost infinite number of angels that are associated with regions of the earth. Dee, being active in politics in Queen Elizabeth I’s court, would of course find such a thing attractive, particularly because Renaissance magic was primarily conceived as begging the aid of certain spirits, whether demonic or angelic. Dee’s system provided a very flexible system of magic, with many angelic (and therefore good) names to call on, to accomplish any number of tasks in various regions of the earth. Dee composed, in other words, the ultimate grimoire of "white" magic.
The evocation of such spirits has been dealt with in multiple books, and while there is controversy I’m no more qualified than the next fellow to elucidate it. What interests me less is the names and more the keys or calls. Linguistically these provide a puzzle, in the form of a series of questions:
(1) Are they a language, and if so, from where? (2) What is their purpose? (3) What is their origin? (4) To what purpose can we put them now?
The first of these questions, is Enochian a language, is easily answered: no. Not, at least, by any standard definition of language. While there are elements that look language-like, such as grammatical endings, a cursory examination shows them to be completely random. Unless this language has nothing but irregular verbs, which could mean it is indeed the language of nonhuman entities and largely unlearnable by people, the verb endings are random. The fact that verb endings also seem to differ in words with the exact same case, tense, gender, number, person, and mood would indicate that these endings mean nothing. Of course, if it’s not a human language, and is indeed the language of angels, then it very well may mark verbs for something no human language does, or even for some purpose no human could comprehend. If that’s the case, and I doubt that it is, then human analysis couldn’t possibly avail much.
While not a language, Enochian also isn’t random. Words mean the same things consistently, and vocabulary is rarely mixed up. If Kelley or Dee fabricated Enochian, they did so very, very carefully—and if they did so, why not be just as careful about grammar? What Enochian appears to be is not a language but a sort of complex substitution code called a relexification. In a relexification, words from one language are replaced with different, or made up, words. One famous example of a relexification code is that used by Navajo code talkers during World War II. Navajo speakers were hired by the military to replace common and important words with Navajo code phrases. Such a code is incredibly difficult to break; one need to collect a large number of messages and link them to various contexts to break the code and by then the relexification could be changed. While it has been suggested that Dee developed Enochian for just this purpose, there is exactly zero evidence that he ever used the language to spy or pass messages, and there simply isn’t enough of the language to do either. Plus, the language lacks some important words a spy might need—no words for soldier or war, for example. So that raises the second question: what’s the purpose of this language? The angels, if they just wanted to transmit a grimoire, could have transmitted the tablets and the means of drawing names from them, and left the keys out of it or provided them in English. Yet the angels seem to focus, largely, on the question of the language. They want Dee to learn it. To what end? Donald Tyson suggests that the keys may have been a means of bringing about the end of the world, or immanentizing the eschaton (speeding up the end of the age), as some might put it. What he overlooks is the fact that while the keys are filled with apocalyptic language, they are no more filled with such images than sermons of the time, and even sermons stretching back to the beginning of written English. There’s a long tradition, in other words, of apocalyptic writing in English; Dee and Kelley’s Enochian keys hardly stand out in the genre. While an interesting idea to "conjure with," there’s simply not much reason to think so other than the eschatological imagery of the keys themselves, which are common in the religious literature of the time.
Dee frequently asked about a book he had in his possession, filled with similar tablets, that he suggested might come from Adam’s own hand. The angels eventually reluctantly agree that, in fact, that book descends from Adam, as does, they say, the Enochian language. In this is the key of the language: the angels mean it to be a primal code for interpreting the magical world. Just as Adam defined his relationship to the animals with a series of labels, so Dee is—I suggest—defining his relationship to the world with a similar series. The keys are the beginning of that redefinition. Yet the language is incomplete, and the means by which the angels transmit it guarantees that it could not be finished before Dee’s eventual death. If, indeed, Dee was in contact with some sort of supernatural entities, they must have had something else in mind. Tyson convincingly argues that Dee was not the one who was supposed to complete the work of Enochian.2 He doesn’t suggest who might be.

That, of course, raises the question: is the origin of Enochian supernatural or human? While most scholars would argue that Kelley deceived Dee and created Enochian himself, I come down on the side of at least some supernatural influence. Kelley frequently didn’t understand what was going on. He would often ask the angels questions about alchemy, which they were loath to answer. Kelley knew little Latin and no Greek. On one occasion he carried on a long conversation in Greek, which he didn’t understand. In another, he created a complex Latin acrostic, something difficult to do with a language you don’t know well. Furthermore, the information often channeled by the angels was heretical to a degree not seen for hundreds of years; it would have gotten both men killed if it had been discovered, and so there’s no benefit for Kelley to fake such heresy. On the other hand, early drafts of some diagrams had been found on his person by Dee. Kelley explains them away with feeble excuses. The angels also spoke in bad Latin, when they did speak in Latin. They also contradict themselves, and in several places give blatantly wrong predictions. Often, they play up to Dee’s paranoia. Dee, however, was not completely credulous. He called the angels on their contradictions, and demanded independent confirmation of many claims. The most unusual circumstance is when the angels demand that Dee and Kelley swap wives. I've written elsewhere that I did not think they had done so; I have now changed my mind. After examining the source material, I think there is some veiled reference to the swap. This may have been Kelley’s attempt to get kinky; it also may have been a ploy by the angels. Even if Enochian did come from one of their minds, what a mind to create something so complex and yet consistent. Even the inconsistencies in grammar do not negate the careful memorization a hoax would imply. Such a hoax would be more work than getting an honest trade! And considering that neither Dee nor Kelley ever made money, as far as we can tell, out of Enochian, it would have been an elaborate hoax for little or no material gain. Dee even locked up most of his notes, to prevent being tried for heresy. That’s hardly the way to engineer a hoax.

A Metaphysicians Outlook On Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Ascension

Dr. Raven Dolick M.s.D.

Feb 5, 2016

all rights reserved

The meteoric rise of children (and adults) who were diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) makes one ponder about the spiritual relevance of this anomaly.

Children and adults with ADD and ADHD commonly feel like they have a plethora of energy and need to find creative ways to expend this energy.

The key word is "energy".

Every thought contains energy that is sent out to the universe and recreated within our societal Mandelbrot as the "now". Many people diagnosed with ADD and ADHD, have a difficult time focusing on anything they find mundane, such as school, rules and authority figures (or anyone, in general) who cannot relate or understand them. There are many more undiagnosed cases of ADD and ADHD where people feel this same anomaly.

People with ADD and ADHD learn coping skills to deal with this "disorder". In school, a child can sit in front of the class, away from any windows. The teacher can tap the child on the shoulder if he or she notices the child drifting away from the subject being taught. If allowed in school, the student can chew gum which also helps people with ADD or ADHD maintain focus.

As with any other medical issue, I would advise going with what your physician prescribes but in the case of ADD and ADHD, I believe it's an over-prescribed and diagnosed "disorder" that has a definitive spiritual purpose and can be easily be controlled with coping skills.

Ironically, those with ADD and ADHD tend to think outside the box as their minds are constantly wandering. They're usually creative in the art and music field and have no problem maintaining focus when their minds are occupied on something they love to do. They will come up with ideas that are so outside-the-box that others will initially discredit their ideas because the ideas are too advanced and cannot be described articulately enough for others to understand the end results. They are often innocently forgetful and have a difficult time remembering things, past or present.

They often have a difficult time fitting into cliques and can relate to almost every clique, but many not want to be part of any of them, distancing themselves from any possible karmic debt associated with these cliques.

Some are described as "scattered," loners or wanderers who are trying to find others who are like them or people who can accept them for who they are without conforming to societal standards.

Many feel confused as to why they have ADD or ADHD and cannot understand why other people have such an easy time remembering past or recent thoughts.

Many may feel like they "don't belong here" and have a sense of where "home" is but it's not necessarily "here".

Is it a coincidence that the prevalence of ADD and ADHD has come at a time when people have incarnated to this planet with very little time to garnish and/or remember any negative karma?

Is it a possibility that ADD and ADHD are protective insurance measures that people took out when they agreed to come to this planet to help with the ascension process without having the liability of negative karmic debt?

In a world where people who have a medical diagnosis are looked at as being "different" from the norm, is this difference a blessing instead of a curse?

Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of "outside the box" professionals like myself who are willing to readdress this issue in metaphysical terms. The problem is that the APA and Big Pharma are in bed with one another, as evidenced by one of their latest disorders, orthorexia nervosa, which is basically a healthy eating disorder. You can't make this stuff up!!

My specialty is working with at-risk people of power and shaman’s though of course I help any who are sincerely dedicated to an ascension path. I developed a program to help at-risk youths and adults of Paganism blend their belief system to reality and therefore are powerful pagan families and I believe many pagan parents are in need of pagan parenting counsel. While my program has an amazing success rate it is dependent on the dedicated student and it also helps the families learn how to work with one another in addressing these issues. I bring this up because many of my clients are labeled ADD/ADHD and I've taught them the basic coping skills that I mentioned in this article. Many of the children stated they don't like how they feel when they're on their medications. Is it possible that their higher selves are giving them these messages? In my opinion, yes. The medications are taking them away from their true selves when non-medicinal options are available. Of course, Big Pharma and the APA don't want to hear this... all they want is a diagnosis and a script.

The problem with Big Pharma is that they DON'T CURE ANYTHING! They merely put a band aid over the problem and rely on repeating, life-long business generated by the client's psychiatrist or medical practitioner. There are other options available!!

I highly encourage other therapists and counselors to take a holistic approach to this "disorder". Once you rule out any other possible mental illness and/or issue (such as dyslexia), dietary issues or possible life stressors, you can address this issue without the need for medication. And yes many misdiagnosed actually suffer from these other problems and not add or ADHD and when confronted symptoms disappear.

One last note for parents with children who are dx'd with ADD/ADHD: Look at what your child is eating because this may also be the cause of the problem. Try changing his or her diet to something healthier, with less sugars and/or processed foods.

If you have ADD or ADHD, look inside yourself to the reasons why you have it and how you can use it to better yourself and others. You were given this "gift" for a reason... it's time to find out what that reason is.

A Look At Judgment And How It Affects Our World

Dr Raven Dolick M.s.D.

Feb 5, 2016

all rights reserved

Christianity is one big hate group, The Catholic Church is overrun with child molesters, Wicca is just a bunch of witches casting evil spells and speaking to evil spirits, Satanist go around making human and animal sacrifices to the devil, Atheist are bad people who have an agenda set on destroying God.

We have all heard one or more of these statements at one time or another throughout our lives as we go about our daily business. Some people may agree with one or more of these statements, some may disagree; Some are aggressive in these points, while others just want left alone in their own personal beliefs without getting involved in a bunch of drama. Bottom line though, almost every one of us is judged according to one or more of these belief systems. And it's not just by believers of these systems either. Even society as a whole judge’s people according to these belief systems even though they themselves do not believe in the competing system.

And that is not even the complete picture here, even though the homosexual gender is not a belief system, those who are Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender also are judged. Surely you have heard the old warning that gay people will stalk children for the purpose of molesting them.

Even with the homosexual gender added into the mix, this is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. One could go on and on with all the judgment issues that plague this old world.

The Christian religion at this time takes up a huge chunk of the spotlight in all of this because they are so diverse in beliefs that you could probably fill a book with just the names of the different beliefs and sects that exist today, and the Christian religion is the biggest offender in judging others according to non Christian beliefs.

You have religious Christian denominations, non religious Christian sects, free believers, freethinkers, house church, relational church, and the list goes on with each one arguing with all the others about just who is following God properly. And when they are not doing that, they still find time to judge all those involved in the previously mentioned belief systems, and gender.

So what is the solution to all this judgment? How can we as a world come together and stop judging each other?

Do we create a single belief system and require every man woman and child to follow that one belief system, do we outlaw religion of all kinds all together allowing only scientific belief, do we outlaw belief all together and just allow our governments to dictate to us what should be and should not be?

All of these choices would make one or more happy while making all the rest unhappy, and in the end you would still have rebellion, war, judgment, and all the negative situations that we have now.

Ok, so what can we do?

Maybe we could start trying to understand others belief systems, gender, and lives before we start trying to make judgment on them.

Child molestation is not a catholic problem alone even though the Catholic Church is the one most often in the media spotlight for this offense, most Catholics are good people who would never harm a child. Child molestation is a problem that affects all religions, communities, and countries the world over.

Hate groups are not just Christian phenomena, hate groups are part of every religion, political persuasion, and nationality. Most people in this world would have nothing to do with a hate group; the hate groups just get the spotlight the most because they are what sells stories.

Wicca is not a bunch of witches casting spells, and talking to evil spirits. Those involved in Wicca are for the most part good people who want the same thing everyone wants, to live in peace, to follow what they believe in their heart, to make an honest living, and to get along.

Satanist gets the worst rap of them all. Satanists are not evil people following the devil, and making blood sacrifices of innocent animals and people to the evil demon leader of the bible. Satanists live, and work right next to you every day. They interact with you every day, your best friend unknown to you could be a Satanist and you don't even know it.

Guaranteed, someone you know, love and respect, someone that you consider to be the most wonderful person who ever lived could be a Satanist. Does that person cease to be good, or to be your friend just because you find out that they are a Satanist? Just like the Wicca, the Christian, the G.L.B.T., the Free Thinker; the Satanist wants what everyone wants. To live, to love, to get along, to not be judged, and to not be caught up in judging others.

Homosexuals are not child molesters. As a matter of fact, homosexuals are the least likely person to molest a child of anyone. Homosexuality is not even about sex, with a child or a consenting adult. Homosexuality is about a natural attraction to someone of the same sexual gender and of legal consent. Homosexuals want what we all want. A family, a job, a happy life, and equal rights under the law. There is no homosexual agenda any more than there is a Christian agenda, atheist agenda, Satanist agenda, or any other agenda.

So you’re a free thinker and religious life is not your way, don't just assume that because someone else is a religious follower that they are a fanatic or superstitious. Try to understand their position, and just live your position as you see fit as a good example for them and others to see live it with pride and without fear or regret. Love the person for who they are not what they are.

Don't judge your friend or coworker because you found out he or she is a Satanist, you liked them when you didn't know they were Satanist, why shouldn't you continue liking them once you know they are Satanist. That person didn't suddenly change, transform, morph into some sort of monster because you found out what they are, that person is still the same person you always knew. You just know something more about them now. Don’t judge it. Learn from it, understand it.

Understanding and learning about someone’s belief system or gender does not mean you are obligated to partake of it, it just means you are making an honest effort to get along with someone. Which is how it should be.

Born Again, and Again, and Again…

Dr Raven Dolick M.s.D.

Feb 4, 2016

Have you ever wondered how many incarnations make up a complete set of human experience here on earth? To many, the answer comes as quite a shock.

The older you get in this life, the closer you come to gaining mastery over the main lessons of this particular life. These are lessons that you planned at a soul level before you were born. When you look back on your life, it sometimes seems that it all went by in a flash.

It seems like just yesterday that you were still young enough to feel like you knew a lot about life. Now you're older, and you've learned much more since, it became obvious that there's a whole lot more to human life than anyone can learn or experience in one short incarnation.

When I lived in Indiana in the 1980's, I used to look forward to visiting a past life regressionist every Tuesday afternoon. Once a week for several months, I'd be guided into a deep, altered state and recall scenes from whichever past life my soul consciousness wanted me to encounter next.

Eventually, after many weeks, the novelty wore off, but I was always amazed at the wide variety of experiences that I've been through to build a good understanding of the experience of being a physical human on Planet Earth.

Gaining a wide-ranging experience of all the varieties of human living with its triumphs and failures takes a lot more than one life. Typically, a complete tour of human experience on earth takes 288 incarnations.

That's a shocker, isn't it?

Here we are, living in a culture which, for the most part, believes that this one life is all there is. Meanwhile, the real situation is that we've been around the wheel of reincarnation more times than we care to remember.

Here's why many professional Past Life counselors say there are as many as 288 lives in a complete set of human experience. There are twelve astrological signs and twelve stages of reincarnatory life experience. These stages of experience range all the way from 'Inexperienced Human' to 'Mastery of the Human Experience.' So far, that amount of variety requires 12 times 12, or 144, lives.

Then, there is the need to experience both the yin and yang versions of everything, which is typically achieved by making the choice to be either male or female for each incarnation. When you multiply 144 times 2, it equals 288.

Sooner or later, the young and inexperienced soul becomes, in human terms, an 'old soul.' Then, they start tying up the loose ends in their own history of experiences in preparation for graduation into the next stage of experience in the long and fascinating journey back to the ultimate source from which we all came.
