Let It Go and The Revenant

Happy New Year!   The title of the new film "Revenant" is apt for a Flipside discussion - it means "coming back" in French, but the English used it to refer to people who came back from the grave to seek revenge. In like form, according to the research I've been doing about the flipside, we come back here to the planet after a lifetime - not to right wrongs, or correct karma, but because we choose to come back here and learn or teach some lesson. 

The Revenant

  The film (and book) is based on the true story of this hunter who was mauled by a bear, but they added more events to ensure a stronger connection of "revenge" for what transpires in the film, and added an actual scene of revenge - when in actuality, after his epic journey back to life, Glass actually returned to find that his principal enemy had rejoined the army which kept him out of his reach of justice - of seeking revenge. 

 How can we take the lessons from the Flipside and apply them to our daily lives?  A person wrote to me recently and noted "What's the point of knowing we reincarnate if there's nothing we can do about it?"  Ah, there's the rub.   According to the thousands of cases of people I've examined under deep hypnosis, or who've had near death experiences, they report that we choose to come here to the planet. So when we allow that it's possible we choose to come here - doesn't it make sense for us to return to a planet that has fresh water, air and land?   

There's gold in them there hills. And every obstacle we overcome.

 If we are coming back, then keep the campsite clean.  If everyone chooses to come here, and chooses basically what role they're going to play - why do we spend so much time worrying about what role someone else is playing?  We can't tell them not to play the role - we can't stop them from playing the role, all we can do is appreciate how good or bad they are at playing the role.  We can offer them alternative paths to go down - so that they don't have to suffer, fear or feel abandoned while they're here. But we certainly are in no position to judge their choice of a role - they've had many choices over many lifetimes, and we can't possibly know or fathom why a person makes a choice to lead a difficult life.  But we can appreciate that they made a tough choice.

  In the flipside, people report a lack of fear, a lack of angst, evil, or negativity - in fact they report the opposite. A profound feeling of connectedness, a feeling of "unconditional love" that they can't express in words. What does unconditional love mean?  As opposed to conditional love - i.e., I love you only when you're nice to me. If my natural state of being (which of course is not being here, it's offstage, as that's where we spend the bulk of our time) then why can't I allow a bit more of that unconditional love into my daily life? 

And further, when we open our point of view to include the idea that we aren't "only" here - people claim only a percentage of our "soul's energy" is in our body at any given time (most people claim it's about a third of their total energy - and claim that 2/3s is always "back home" or "in the between lives realm") - where we experience other realities, other events.  I know how odd it sounds, but I'm just reporting the data. 

 Just opening our point of view to include that concept as a possibility - that we all have a higher self that keeps an eye on us, we can access guides and wiser individuals - as crazy as it sounds - is in the data.  Thousands of people have said basically the same things about the afterlife - I'm just reporting what they said. And when we start to think of these reports as data - as an algorithm of life - by shifting perspective, we can lose some of that fear, get over some of that anxiety, let go of some of that anger, animosity, resentment, we hold towards other beings for slights known and unknown.

    The Dalai Lama has a great quote that in essence says "You can't control how others behave, but you can control how you react to them."  We can't control how or why others choose to perform on stage, or what role they've chosen and we can't really castigate ourselves for choosing the role we've chosen - even though it may not be self-evident - just knowing that we chose to be here, takes a bit of the sting out of the crazy events that happen on a daily basis.

 So while examining the flipside from this perspective - that based on the data and research from the hundreds of cases I've examined - there are these concepts that we can use to enhance our current life. 

  I'll close with this thought - when beginning this research, I was fairly skeptical, and agreed to do my first between life session to see if I could prove it was false or somehow "directed."  Instead, I had the same basic experience many have - visiting wise elders to have an amazing feeling of meeting people who have been helping guide me for lifetimes.   Consciously I was in a bit of shock - as I watched my "higher self" make jokes with and ask questions to these individuals who gave answers I could never have conceived.  And as the session drew to a close, I asked if there was any concept I could bring back with me, to share with loved ones, or anyone open to hear about what I'd seen.  I heard myself say "just let go."

That's right. Just let it go.

 I realized I meant to let go of fear, let go of anger, let go of resentment, let go of prejudice of judgment of others, let go of it all because we're on the path we're supposed to be on.   I'd offer that it's probably the most important afterlife hack that I can pass along to anyone who can embrace it; "just let go." 

  Attached is a talk I did with Kevin Moore in the UK, at some point he begins to "channel" what he says is his spirit guide, so I took the opportunity to ask him a few questions with interesting answers. For more info, or to donate, please check out HackingTheAfterlife.com
