Foreword
‘Wisdom is not a flower to be plucked, but a mountain to be climbed.’
Anon.
Once upon a time, a wise one came to the conclusion that an unexamined life is not worth living. How true! Yet, who in their right senses would wish to wade through their unpleasant and painful experiences of the past again? The deeper we move into the Aquarian Age, the more urgent becomes the issue of finding healing every one of the soul wounds of previous lifetimes and this one. To enable us to release the ghosts from the past means taking every last one of the skeletons out of our inner cupboard.
There are no hard and fast rules for going about this. Everybody has to develop their own unique approach. Without this no genuine feelings of forgiveness for all those who ever hurt and wounded us, as well as our own failings and shortcomings that once set these wheels into motion, can grow in anyone’s heart and soul. To my mind this is impossible without the realisation that the events of our present lifetime and all previous ones always served the wise higher purpose of aiding our spiritual growth and becoming a better person.
By writing about some of the worst traumas of my present lifetime in this work, I hope to lay some of my phantoms to rest. Without my spiritual beliefs I would find that impossible, but with their help I have no problems lifting myself and my experiences above the clouds of darkness that have been surrounding our world for a very long time. I believe that there is Great plan of life, in which everything that ever happened and is still to come has its allocated place. Considering anything within the framework of this plan dwarfs everything that is not only in our own lives but also in our whole world.
Without this perception of life, people and events may often appear as nothing but troublesome, whereas when viewed from a higher perspective and in the wider context of the Universal laws of love, evolution and Karma, they take on the right proportions. One steps back and rises above the events of one’s life and recognises that which appeared so huge and overpowering at the time as small and comparatively insignificant, something that now is merely waiting to be forgiven and released. The only reason why our ghosts are still hanging around is that they are meant to be used as instruments for finding healing and peace for our own soul and – through it – that of our world.
