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 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?

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."

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
