In Search Of Happiness:How Past Lives Affect The Present Life , A Soul Perspective
Section 3 - Dev’s Fourth Past Life: a Nazi German Soldier
I again asked his subconscious mind to look for a life of non-violence where he had lived and died successfully. Again, the subconscious mind took us to a life the Higher Self wanted Dev to see.
His facial expressions changed as he started seeing pictures but he was quiet. There was a weird look on his face, almost of dread.
“What do you see?”
“Ok.... it’s not me” he said, almost with relief, and continued “It’s a German soldier. He is dying”
“How? Is it you? Are you the German soldier?”
“Yes. I almost thought I was seeing myself dying. He looks a lot like me.”, he replied.
“How is he dying?”
“It was a suicide mission”, he said after focusing for some time.
The soul had reached the last point of his life as that was the most significant in that life. I moved him backwards in time so that we could view more of that life, to know how it affected his present life.
“Ok, move to an earlier scene which is significant in that life. Now…..what do you see?”
“I am in a meeting” he said “The general is there. There are several senior officers surrounding him. I am a young officer. It’s a great honor to be called to this meeting” he spoke with pride.
“Where are you? Which time period is this? ”
“Germany. Second World War” he said in the confident tone of a soldier.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Note - A Parallel life
He was seeing another life in the Second World War, from the opposite side! Dev fought in the Second World War, from both sides, the Allies and the Axis. The likely explanation was that he was seeing a parallel life. While he was fighting as a soldier in Germany, he was living a parallel life in Britain, i.e. was in another body at the same time, as an air force pilot.
In case of parallel lives, the same soul splits into two parts or even more.
The soul is made up of energy. When it splits, the quality of energy remains the same in each soul. It is like when a torch beam passes through a hard wooden chair, it splits into two parts but the quality of light remains the same; though the power of each split beam may be lesser than that of the ONE whole beam of light.
As explained in my other books, a single soul is like a ray of light coming from a bigger unit of power called the Higher Self. The Higher Self is like the SUN. It has several rays. Hence, the same soul energy can incarnate in several bodies at the same time if that suits its purpose of evolution.
Practically, parallel lives means that two persons would have a similar energy frequency, and hence would have similar temperaments, similar body built`, similar fears etc. but would be facing individual challenges from a different set of circumstances.
Dev’s soul had chosen an experience from both sides of the war. It was as if the same person was fighting himself. Dev as the German soldier was fighting Dev, the British soldier. Though, since one was in the air force and the other in the army, it was unlikely that they met each other.
Metaphorically, however, it was a brother fighting a brother since both were part of the same soul energy.
Was the Higher self trying to tell us that there must be several souls like him in the war, kins fighting each other, at the soul level or that we are all part of one whole consciousness, and when we kill another, we harm our own energy in some way?)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Why have you been called to this meeting?”
“I am young. I have been selected for a mission to bomb an enemy camp”, he continued, confidence ringing in his voice.
“What are they talking in the meeting?”
“I can’t make out”, he said.
“FOCUS NOW! “
“The General is saying that the enemy is too powerful. We may lose. They are advancing rapidly. The only way to win the war now is to destroy their ammunition trucks before they reach our base”, he replied.
“How will they do that?”
“They need a suicide bomber”, Dev replied and continued reporting what he was hearing, “We need a brave soldier who can sacrifice his life for his country. The mission is big. It is our only chance of winning the war. You have been chosen. You will die in the process. Are you ready?” Dev spoke on behalf of the General, addressing himself as you.
“What did you reply?”
“YES! “, he spoke with determination in his voice. He was excited about the mission.
In his present life, Dev often reflected on how glorious it would be to die in war to save the country. “I want to live and die by the sword”. Now, here, in his past life he was being shown exactly the same scenario. As the German soldier, his soul had already experienced dying in war for the country.
“See yourself in the next significant scene. What are you doing?”
“I am pressing the trigger of a gun”, he replied thrilled.
Just before today’s session, Dev had said that it was his dream to feel the pressure on his shoulder as he would pull the trigger to kill the enemy as a soldier in the army. Now, he was seeing himself doing just that.
“I’ve killed the enemy”, he said with satisfaction.
“Where are you now?”
“I am moving closer to their ammunition trucks”, he replied.
“What happens next?” .
“The trucks are moving in a line. I am very close. I am shooting another enemy. He’s dead.” he continued with excitement on his face.
“Are there others with you?”
“Not any more. They got killed on the way”, he replied in an indifferent tone.
“What happens next?”
“I have reached them…. I am hiding and going. I have to throw the bomb on the last truck in the row. That will destroy them. There is a man” he said, focusing on what happens next.
“Ok, I have killed him” he nodded after a few minutes. “I am very close now” he said.
“I’ve done it …Its bombed” he spoke in a satisfied tone feeling successful.
“Where are you? “
“It’s over. I can see from above. It is destroyed” he replied being in the spirit form now.
“How do you feel?”
“Good”, he nodded. As a spirit he was feeling good after bombing the enemy trucks and dying in the process himself.
Section 4 - Failure in achieving purpose of life: the Soul feels defeated
The next moment, he saw the Greek soldier in the lion fight again. The look of success on his face vanished.
“The Greek soldier is there fighting the lion”, he said in an exhausted tone, sounding tired of being reminded of his failure.
I was surprised again since Dev had died successfully after completing a mission to save his country. Why was he being reminded of failure now?
“What is he saying?”
“Nothing. He is defeated. The lion has got him. It is clearer than ever before.” he replied in a low tone.
“Is he saying anything? Join your Higher Self. Ask why has he appeared again when you died successfully?”
“The voice is saying - But, the country didn’t win the war” he replied.
Germany had lost the war. To the Nazi soldier, the mission had been as big as the lion fight, and he had died winning it.
But, according to Dev’s Higher Self, the enemy had won again. The image of the Greek soldier defeated indicated that his effort had again been futile. The soul had sacrificed another life for a cause which did not fulfill its purpose of life. Maybe, the Greek soldier appeared to show he had got overtaken by the dark forces again.
Dev was told in a later session that he had chosen Parallel lives to prevent the war. He had been sent on opposing sides of war to stop the war from either side. He was a powerful soul. He had the capability to prevent the war and save thousands of lives.
But, he did not use his capabilities for the right purpose. Instead he joined the dictators and fought their wars. He made the wrong choice in choosing his path of life.
Section 5 -The Soul’s Perspective
On waking up, Dev realized that he had seen parallel lives.” I must’ve fought for both sides. The planes and the weapons were both of the same time period”, he reflected “Which country was I fighting for then?”
It dawned on us that his Higher Self was showing him the futility of the concept of being loyal to a country, since the same soul was fighting on both sides of the war. His Higher Self had been indicating repeatedly that it wanted him to fight for justice of the weak and oppressed, but Dev always misunderstood this soul craving as a need to fight for one country. Hence, in this session, his Higher Self showed him parallel lives to make him realize what it actually meant. There were weak and oppressed souls dying on both sides of war
Dev had chosen a life of violence and achieved success from his own perspective, but, his soul was disappointed. It wasn’t because he had chosen a life of violence. It was because the violence was not justified.
