This is a bizarre one. Gus Taylor remembers his past life as his own grandfather. At the young age of one and a half he had told his dad, while getting his diaper changed “Y’know, when I was your age I used to change your diaper!” His dad a had pretty humorous response, remarking “Whoa… This is.. weird.”

Gus was named after his grandfather, of course, which is actually short for August. Whenever his family would talk about his grandpa, Gus had a very clear insistence that they were talking about him. When children remember past experiences, many parents will immediately dismiss their claims as their imagination.

It’s understandable when this happens, but when kids have such a consistent story that sometimes comes with such emotion, it’s vital to really listen to them. Some children cry in missing their old families because it is so real and to them, it was pretty recent. Most children start talking about past lives as soon as they are able to speak. 

In Gus’s case, he is able to pick out distinct details, like recognizing his grandfather as a child in a large group photo. He also identified a picture of a car as the first car his grandfather ever owned. But this is really where it gets freaky. Gus claims that his sister (his aunt) died and became what he called a fish.

What actually happened is that she was murdered and her body was dumped into the San Fransisco Bay! How would any child know that? He wasn’t told by anyone in his family; this completely stunned everyone.

This story is truly remark and unique in that his grandpa died a year before he was born, and just seemingly came right back. This child has access to information that would be other wise impossible to know unless he was told. To say such things at the tender age of one and a half is mind blowing.

If  you have a child that talks vividly about past experiences, really listen to what they’re saying.

Gus excitedly told his mom “You know, when we die, we get to come back! I used to be big, and now I’m a kid again!”

Inherently, we understand that forgiveness is powerful technique for freedom, but through lack of experience or understanding, we often don’t understand how.

What are the ways in which forgiveness frees you?

Emotion is a physiological experience

In her book, Molecules of Emotion, author and molecular biologist, Candace Pert, explains beautifully how we experience emotion through the physiological mechanisms within our physical bodies.

To put Pert in context, her original research was into the opiate receptor site and resulted in the medication that they give to heroin addicts, that makes them unable to get high. In a nutshell, what Pert explains is that every emotion or feeling or urge you feel in your body is caused by a specific combination of neuropeptides chemicals released by your brain.

This chemical cocktail rapidly enters your bloodstream, with each little ‘unit’ of the neuropeptide acting like a key that unlocks specific receptor sites on your cells. This then causes a reaction in the cell that you register as a feeling or emotion.

Each neuropeptide ‘key’ can only unlock specific receptor sites on each cell, and every time the cell multiplies, the new cell has more receptor sites for any emotion or feeling you have been bombarding your body with. Over time therefore you need a greater amount of the chemical in order to feel the same ‘rush’, because you have more cell receptor sites available for that chemical trigger.

However you only have a limited amount of space for receptor sites on the surface of each cell, so what the cell does is it starts using up the receptor site spaces for elements you use less frequently – nutrients, vitamins and minerals for example.

This is why it takes time for you to develop a new, or break an old, habit, attitude or way of being. Your capacity to experience the new reality literally grows as you increase the amount of receptor sites on your cells that can process that combination of chemicals when they are released from your brain.

You also have to allow time to elapse for receptor sites for the old way of being to fall away. It’s also why it gets ‘easier’ to do something when you’ve been doing it for a while – the reason it feels like stuff has ‘suddenly’ clicked into place is because your actual physical cells have caught up with the changes that your mind has been making and you are now able to ‘feel’ them in your body.

Libra’s are interesting creatures. Every sign has their own quirks and combined with your unique personality, each sign is really specific to you. Libra is the 7th sign in the horoscope, and it is an air sign.

This sign is special because it cares immensely about balance, harmony and justice in the world. There’s something about them that makes them extra sensitive and full of care, even if they don’t show it.

They Are the Balancer

The symbol that represents Libra is a scale. They are always trying to get closer and closer to perfection in their lives. Usually, they enjoy the challenge of creating something and adding to it, trying to get it to be more than what it is.

They love beauty and notice the amount of care thats gone into their environment.

Because of the scale-like nature of Libra’s, many of them are one way or the other; black or white; left or right.

Many Libra’s are either incredibly neat in their lifestyle or very messy. Libra’s are considered lazy, but in my experience it’s been the exact opposite.

They Are Perfectionists

Because Libra’s find enjoyment in creating solutions, being a perfectionist is in their nature. Problem solving is one of their favorite past times. They love bringing harmony, understanding and balance to the world, which can sometimes leave them feeling defeated. They take on large tasks usually too big for them to do alone and that’s something they are learning to include other people in.

Their perfectionist nature can make them feel like they are the best for the job, and leave them overwhelmed. Just as everything is, it’s a balancing act for them to include people while still being in a leader position.  Continue reading →

Oh to be young and in love. Or any age for that matter. Love really is a state of being, is a lens to view the world through. One way most of us understand love is through physical, mental and emotional connection with each other.

Feeling that rush of excitement when you first realize you’re falling in love with someone is what we came down to Earth to do: experience.

Is there someone making that space in your heart? You probably already know, you don’t need a list to see if you’re really starting to love someone. For those that might be a bit more shy or this is something new to you, then this is for you!

Your Heart Tightens Around Them

Emotions of excitement, joy and sometimes anxiety come from our chest and around our heart.

When you have that mixed feeling of excitement and anxiousness around them, that’s your body directly giving you a physical reaction to just being around their presence.

Fundamentally, everything is energy so you can actually feel their heart field and how they’re feeling if you tap into it.

You Dream About Them

Got someone stuck in your subconscious? Sometimes our dreams bring up weird things. If there’s someone you’ve been thinking about a lot or not trying to think about (which is the same thing), then they are all up in your subconscious! Allow these thoughts and dreams to happen without judgement. Continue reading →

Have you ever wondered if its possible to control the future? That is to say, to possess the ability to influence the probability of a potential outcome that has not yet occurred?

If you are thinking no way, you might want to think again.

We’ve learned through the law of attraction that our thoughts directly influence our reality and because the power of thought is so potent, we understand that the more we focus our attention on something, the higher the probability that it will manifest in our lives.

Now, lets say we had the ability to place a single thought or idea, into a mass population. What do you propose would be the effectiveness of this? And what would be the best way to do it?

If you guessed media, you are miles ahead of the game.

Thought suggestions via print, television and movies are the best way to implant an idea into the collective conscious and if provided with a large amount of funding, they can really “sell” the probable outcome and the seeding of humankind, thereby giving it a higher chance of shaping our future.
