As a man in my last life, I was driving a horse and cart through a field when suddenly my being was up looking down at a body of about 45 years of age. Death was sudden and painless. The urge to do a particular job was strong and then I was left in the dark with the Great Spirit of the Universe. He is not a man and there are no places like heaven or hell, but a powerful sense of peace and lasting love washed over me as my next life showed itself as a line drawn in front of me.
It showed the ups and downs of what was to come on me and then was on top of my parents when they got married. The date is known as my birth one month later.
What came with me was another language different from that of my parents or those around me. It protected my memory that would have been quickly erased if it had been influenced. That is what happens to young people who talk about their reincarnation.
Religious doctrine forbids it because it opposes the trap that builds up in congregations. All religions depend on the fear of the afterlife and the supposed consequences of not obeying leaders for their funding and survival. The laws they impose have been standardized and are the basis of cultural conformism.
The evidence of reincarnation is quantified in the number of people who give testimonies of out-of-body experiences and in those who remember previous lives. Many return to the place where they died while researchers, such as Dr. Ian Stevenson, who spent 40 years in the field, have left behind numerous videos and books on investigated and proven cases.
Religious leaders, however, keep a heavy hand on what communities may hear, especially when the members of the government they control are worshipers. The problems generated by such dominance are overwhelming for those who cannot accept the sex change of their last life.
It was also difficult for me, except for a close bond with Spirit that helped me in my new role. The condemnation of those who face such difficulties and who seek to overcome them either by cross-dressing or undergoing physical changes is misplaced. Even young children now demand to change their appearance, as they recognize that they are in what they consider the wrong body.
Having worked on this phenomenon for most of my life, my conclusion is that we are not in the wrong body as we have no control over who we are, but we are challenged to accept the new role and overcome the old comfort zone. It is part of the evidence of having lived before.
