Summary of part of an online BQH session January 2025

Lately, this client was getting snippets of past lives during the American Civil War from two different perspectives. She felt she was still playing out a theme: civil war, civil rights, civil unrest, drawing injustice to herself, karma and ancestral issues. She wanted to clear those past lives for good, as she could feel a new life starting inside of her old one.

Two parallel past lives

Our session opened with the life of a 16-year-old girl during the Civil War. Her father owned a very large plantation in the Deep South. Her uncle, whom she adored, took off north and joined the Union army. One day, tracking in the woods as he had taught her, she was surprised to come upon her uncle and a few buddies wearing Union uniforms and scouting the area. She slipped away unnoticed and told her mother, and they agreed not to tell her father. Shortly afterwards, the plantation was invaded by a hundred Union soldiers, including her uncle, who took it over. She and her mother fled to town, but the soldiers wreaked havoc among the town populace as well. When it was found out that she had known something about the invasion in advance and not warned people, things went very badly for her in the community. Feeling guilty and unworthy, she started making bad decisions.

Eventually, she became quite ill and as she lay dying, drifting in and out of her body, she saw from overhead a larger battle on the plantation. It turned out that the soldiers who had taken over the farm were renegades from the Union army, a breakaway group not under official orders, recruited by her uncle with promises of a share in the land that he coveted. Without the support of the Union army, they easily fell to the Confederate forces who took the plantation back in a bloody battle.

As the girl died, she made many self-defeating promises to herself that have continued to limit her abundance and happiness in her current life.

Meanwhile, the same soul was experiencing a parallel life as one of the men in the renegade group. He had grown up in deep poverty, and the promise of a piece of land was irresistible. He died early in the battle that the girl viewed from above, resenting the greed that had led him to die so young and painfully. He died promising himself that poverty and invisibility were better than greed.

After their deaths, these two aspects of her soul went to the light and merged, but started incarnating again without healing the wounds of those lives. In her present life, she has continued to deal with guilt, poverty, poor decisions and failed projects.

Reflecting on the lessons

I called on her Higher Self and guides to sit down with those two aspects for a debriefing. “What can your soul truly learn from these 2 experiences?” I asked.

Client: That guilt is a very hard emotion to shake on this planet. It creates a lot of conflict within the human soul. Once you go into guilt it’s very hard to find forgiveness. Guilt causes an avalanche-type situation. Once it gets rolling it undoes a lot of things in your life; it snowballs into every area of your life – what you call vows or contracts or belief systems. It’s a very toxic emotion.

Poverty is mostly about emptiness and lack of being seen. Greed is also usually about not being seen. They’re opposite sides of the same coin. That’s why they go after each other so much; when somebody’s in poverty it’s done by somebody who’s greedy, somebody who hates somebody who’s in poverty. Cause neither one of them is seen. They want to be seen. Sometimes poverty wants to disappear, but it wants to disappear because it’s never been seen. Both of them are about being recognized.

Family often comes in with a variety of different belief systems. Love is a powerful healer but it’s very challenging to move love into a very dense planet where belief systems are very strong and have accumulated over lifetimes.

The need for vengeance is stronger than the need for forgiveness in this dimension.

The building of faith takes time. The building of energetics takes time but it can be disrupted very easily. In this (Civil War) lifetime, most people did not know how to work with energy. They had faith without the ability of energetics. What we mean by that is, … there are … seasons when you can plant something and it will grow, and … there will be different times when … it would be difficult to grow something. So the Civil War was a time when there was extraordinary disruption … a cataclysmic, earth-changing event. Also the World Wars. Those are not times when people had mastered the laws of energetics. You had more of your base emotions [in the forefront], like fear, lacking in consciousness and understanding.
