Otoharo!

I have experience in this area. During the time that Jesus was on earth, I knew him well. I was an old man. I left that life and walked in to someone wanting to get out of his difficult situation. I gladly did it. (Sorry will not say who).

During this lifetime, as a teenager, I made a conscious decision not to make music my career. A part of me wanted to and split off so that two of us lived. She is deceased now. We both had the same childhood memories.

When I was 26. I wanted to sing. While my husband and child were visiting his parents, and I was teaching, I closed all the doors and sindows so that I could sing as loudly as I wished. It seemed to me that I had to shout soemthing at the top of my lungs and in song. That summer, we went to the national convention of our churh in Chicago. Our daughter was three and was perfectly quiet at the meetings. On Sunday, we all went to various churches in Chicago to experience a really big church. In the one we attended, there were real pipes that stood as ligh as the ceiling! I had never heard such music! I heard a sound that was magnificent and looked around to see who was singing, others were turned around looking at me. That sound was issuing from my mouth! Oh, what a sound. A deep, rich contralto voice. That has stayed with me, though my vocal chords are those of an older person now. That sound came from myself in another lifetime when I sang opera. (As a man). It seemed that the sound of those pipes pulled the sound from me.

In my experience, a walk-in is managed by a being that is facillitating it. I discovered that I earned an "oscar" for my performance during that lifetime with Jesus.

If you have been or are now a walk-in, you know it inside yourself. And you have a guide whose purpose it is to guide you in your chosen purpose.

Thanks..I figured as much!

I'm not sure what brought on this bit of information, (did someone ask a question that I missed?) but I am always interested in the subject of walk-ins. I've read a lot of Ruth Montgomery's books, but none of my local friends seem to know what I'm talking about, so I stopped mentioning walk-ins. She still says we're going to have a walk-in President of the U.S., but that it hasn't happened yet. I seriously doubt that she'd tell us if she knew, though. I think that would be a real problem if the public suspected it.

I've also read that each of us has an "oversoul" and that it may incarnate itself into as many as 10 different entities on earth at once. My son seems to feel that he was attached to 5 other beings on earth at one time (in this current lifetime)in various localities, but that now there are only "3 of us." He doesn't know where they are, but he knows they are here. The others have crossed over.

I can't say that I have such certainty that I have other parts of "myself" around, but I recently have found two friends who are so much like me in manner of thinking, and who have such a similar history...that it almost feels as if we ARE parts of a whole. A sort of kinship that is more than biological or an emotional friendship. We marvel at the similarities. In both of these cases, the other person has many of the same physical ailments or weaknesses as me, and in one case, we even have nearly matching scars on our lip, and have both broken the same ankle. One of these friends is known to me only by internet. We've never met in person, but I suspect we will some time. If not, I fully expect to meet her on the other side, where we will have a good laugh and talk over how it all worked out, after living similar lives on opposite sides of the country, and 15 years difference in our birthdays.

I wonder that maybe several of us who know each other on the other side sat down and planned out our lives at the same time, choosing many of the same things to experience, but differing in some very important ways. It was like a "group project" and we will report back at the end of it and do a presentation or something. Sylvia Browne often talks about how we plan our lives, along with the guidance of a council of elders, and that we choose most of the things we will experience. She says we leave some are open....for example, for some it may be family life, for some, career or financial situation, and for some love life, or maybe health. I can see me sitting down with a group of my closest friends and making these decisions and then jumping into this incarnation ready to experience my decisions and to compare notes at the end. It's an interesting concept, anyway.

Walk-ins....I don't think I've ever known someone who suddenly changed so drastically that I would have suspected that. Is it usually done when someone has a "near death" type experience? I do wonder about that. Also wondered about major organ transplants. There have been some real personality changes there, usually attributed to the trauma of surgery and the change in DNA interacting with the body. Lots of interesting stuff to think about.

Namaste,

Otoharo!

I enjoyed your sharing, looked up your profile (again). There is a point to being physical, certainly. To learn something that helps us move back to oneness. It's fascinating to consider whether two of you incarnated just to see what difference culture would make!

finality

It was not so much culture as just some different life decisions as we reached adulthood. It three of us turned out pagan/new age eventually. But one has been into that realm since her early 20's, one in her early 30's and me...I didn't become pagan until I was nearly 50, though I certainly read a lot about reincarnation and some new age type ideas in my early 20's also.

But the differences were in some other areas. One married at 20, and for life (me), raised kids and stepkids. One married very young, had kids, divorced, remarried and is now raising her own plus her stepkids. One married later in life (35) and made a decision in her early 20's that she never wanted kids. There were stepkids, but they didn't live in her house. She's now divorcing again at age 54.

So it was as if we all had many similar outlooks on life, spirituality and even morals/ethics....but we decided to try different life decisions concerning marriage and family. Not so very different for two of us, apparently, but the third really did do it differently and still is. And I don't really see the other two women being so closely related to each other, but both of them seem closely related to ME. Jeez, what an ego, huh? But it's more like we all spun off from the same hub. Very strange indeed.

Namaste,

Otoharo!

Lionheart, this is a great story. It is not necessarity ego that feels how people relate to you. Trust it.

Lionheart:
It is I who asked finality about "walk-ins"...soul transfers, it is called so many things and many people experience it differently.
When I recieved my first reiki attunement Jan 2002, 2 weeks later I had a most profound experience during a meditation at home by myself. I will not go into the details, as it is lengthy, but the next day I went to work and looked around like "what am I doing here?"..I had been an exercise specialist, massage therapist for the last 20 years and had held my career as something very important. All of the sudden I had no interest in teaching pilates class, and my clients were really getting on my nerves. This was not a cleansing period like most people have after an attunement. I was as high as a kite, I didn't even recognize myself in the mirror one day when teaching class! (I have since left this job on good terms and started my own business-reiki of course and massage)
All of the sudden, I looked in my closet and thought "these clothes have to go!", "This hair is such a mess"...thoughts like this. I went to a psychic a couple of weeks ago and she told me about her "walk-in" experience and I really started thinking about what happend to me.
I did a meditation and asked my guides to show me what was going on. They showed me what had happened and that I had done it two other times also at 10 and 20 years old. Sometimes, we make this decision before we incarnate, and when one soul is finished with her work, the other comes in to complete work in a different manner.
This is lengthy and I am leaving a lot out, but you get the idea. I had never heard anyone speak of this before and now that I have researched it, it makes perfect sense to me.
Everyone has there own experience here and your guidance and beliefs will guide you to your personal truth. I have not discussed this with anyone I know yet, because I am in a position of leadership and wonder what the heck people would think of me. After this walk-in experience, I became very psychic all of the sudden, not just a little, but a major major change. Very scary indeed. It has been 18 months now and I was ready to learn the truth. I am lucky to have lots of guides and angels that guide me to the truth and why I am here.
I am excited and life is just one big adventure at this point. I am glad.

Wow, what a story, GreenFeather! Thanks for sharing. I feel like my life started over at age 50. I don't know that I have had such a dramatic, all-at-once change, but the changes in the past two years have been remarkable. And yes, that feeling of excitement and life being an adventure is one I recognize, too. I have only had that feeling before when each of my children were born. Maybe I was "giving birth" to a new child at this time....a new me.

I remember saying to me grown daughter, just before all this happened, that I felt like my life was flat. There wasn't anything wrong; it was just that I was restless and bored, and couldn't think of anything to be excited about for the rest of my life. I was only 48! Work that I hated, home life boring, not enough time to do the things I really do enjoy. And then, boom! Reiki and many other issues popped up for me and now life is exciting every single day. I think these things were just waiting to happen to me when my life got to the right stage. Kids were grown and gone, not taking up my time, energy and money....I have time and space in which to meditate. That's important. Hmmmm.

Namaste,
Lionheart

Otoharo!

Greenfeather, splindid. Thanks for your follow up. A person came to this area several years ago telling her story. One of the things she did was look at her closet, declaring, these jeans, ugh. I like loose fitting legs. She completely changed her wardrobe. She had come directly from another planet where dress codes are very different, nothing tight.

Hello Finality:

A few months back when I was really sick (physically and emotionally) I prayed to god to send a new soul to take my place... I didn't want to physically die because of the heart ache it would cause my daughter. But, I desperately wanted to go home. I didn't even know such a thing was possible... thank you for validating how I was feeling. I believed it was possible but never had heard of such a thing before. I don't know if god actually granted my prayer... can you consciously make this decision or is it something you do unconsciously?

Blessings,

Chris

Chris,

namaste,

From what I know of the trading of places, is that it is very rare.

I can happen when the person has nothing (in their opinion) left to live for. If you have something, such as your daughter, that you are concerned for, then you can't do it. It is not something that the spirit in the body choses, but the spirit outside the body, and that one does not have to have the same agenda as yours. The fact that that spirit wants to come back, indicates that there is a complete different agenda that is being addressed.

I have heard of one (the proverbial friend of a friend) who came out of a coma, completly "changed", and was thought to be a walk-in. But who can tell for sure.

>;-)

Are you a walk-in? Probably not....but who knows who you were before you ever came on the Cafe? I tend to be sceptical of this one.

Otohara!

Chris, I only know my experience of walking in. I do not remember leaving. So I can't say from experience. It is my understanding that this event is managed by Beings who facilitate it. I remember feeling as you describe, in this lifetime during a low point in my marriage, I felt beaten down and worthless believing the world would be better off without me. Then I felt the needs of my daughter and knew I was the best person to care for her. With that realization, I promptly recovered my wits.
