Question: What details can you tell me about my most recent past lives?

You are perhaps aware as well of your ties to the land known today as South Africa. It would be well if you could imagine then this land in the time just prior to what is known today as the Boer Wars, when the animals ruled almost as well as the people and their hold on the land was stronger.

At that time you were a maiden of some ill repute, living in and around the mining camps of the region. Wild though it was, and wild though you were, you sought a more calm existence and managed to provide an education for yourself that rivaled many who had attended university. You  then became known as a madam of some high regard and corralled your young charges in such a way that provided them not only with an income that gave them a comfortable existence, but also provided for them an education that allowed them to assume different persona at times and move out of that sphere and into one more in keeping with "society". You burned many karmic ribbons in that lifetime, assisting as you did so many young women. In addition, in even later life your sordid past had been forgotten or forgiven, and you were made librarian for the whole of one state of that country, no mean feat and one that gave you the opportunity to choose a portion of the educational direction for the entire country at that time. We would say then, that much good work was accomplished by you, and we wish now for you to reflect upon this and allow it to resonate within you.

We wish also to tell you about another life that has become of significance for you now. In the late 1700's, you were a tribal doctor in Australia. You were highly regarded by your clan and performed many amazing feats of healing within the clan. When word came to the surrounding clans about your healing prowess, however, somehow it was leaked out to the newly-landed Christians of the area, who then came not only to investigate but also to conquer and convert. It was then that a brief skirmish between your clan and the offending Christians became renowned through the area and marked a bleak period for the aboriginal peoples of that area. Many of your clan were killed in the skirmish, as was your wife and helpmeet. That person is known to you now in this life, and occupies the body of your son. You have knowledge of this, at least on some level. You know, then, that there were issues between you and a resonance of both helpfulness and pain.

We would suggest that you attempt to return to that time if ever so briefly, so as to determine for yourself what these issues were so that you may recognize them now within both you and your son. We wish to remind you that in this life, your roles are much different (we do not of course speak of role in essence but of life role), and may account for some of the energy differences you have observed. It is well then that you make these changes and observances now so as to further stem the tide of change that occupies your every waking moment. We would then also wish to say that it is within this framework, that of the aboriginal life, that you draw your most significant power and you may then resonate well with some of the native musical instruments of that region. Since some of your background of that time was as a shaman, you may be drawn to the study and practice of such at this time.
