Chapter Four
Lust, Love & Loss
“…how utterly we are two, the light and the darkness, and how infinitely and eternally not-to-be-comprehended by either of us is the surpassing One we make.”
D. H. Lawrence
In the beginning there is lust, and sometimes that’s the ending as well. If lust continues into love, then the sexual contact becomes some-thing more than two bodies united in pleasure. The act itself can be creative, taking the participants out of their physical reality into another space in time. Two separate selves create one experience and sometimes another life from their union.
Every action creates.
When we create positively, we inspire.
Inspiration touches the spiritual aspects of our experience.
Lust is energy, love is energy; and loss is the transformation of energy.
Love is warm, loss is cold.
Loss does not feel good.
When we lose something, even temporarily, we struggle to restore the balance that was there prior to the withdrawal of the energy. Loss hurts. Anticipation of loss creates a negative energy that expresses itself in many destructive ways: anger, paralyzing fear, sadness, worry, anxiety.
When we commit attention to the here and now, there is no anxiety, worry, or fear for whatever loss may occur at some later date. Experience the love you have when you have it. Resist the urge to look into the future and create fearful story lines about your tomorrows.
Resolving Real Life Relationships with Past-Life Regressions
COUPLES IN CONFLICT
With the divorce rate exceeding 50%, perhaps more couples should try counseling before going to court. For those who do, traditional therapy usually begins with learning communication skills. Healthy conflict resolution and anger management are two prominent issues discussed in couples’ therapy.
With the addition of children to the couple’s relationship, the added elements often inflame unresolved relationship issues. In addi-tion, disagreements on how to parent their children, how to rediscover the romance among wet diapers, exhaustion, and incessant demands on parents’ time and energy bring couples into counseling. Others have experienced infidelity and want to heal the wounds. Many have financial problems due to differences in spending habits. Some struggle with addiction in one or both partners.
After some traditional counseling, it is not uncommon that the two want to use regression therapy to look at the history of the relationship over time. It becomes clearer that the source of the current conflict lies somewhere before the birth of the partners. One or the other, sometimes both, want to be regressed to heal the current stress in the relationship.
The Root of All Evil…and the Cause of Most Divorce…
“It’s the money, honey.” Travis reached across the couch in my office to grasp Heather’s knee in an apparent effort to cut off Heather’s assessment of their problems. She glared at him, and then rolled her eyes before falling into a sullen silence.
Two young people dressed in t-shirts and jeans, fashionably tousled streaked hair, and cross trainers sat across from me. Heather still carried some of the pregnancy weight from her recent delivery four months ago.
The size of her nursing breasts stretched the thin cotton of her rock concert t-shirt to the limits. Clearly, Travis was convinced of his own charm and attractiveness by the way he carried himself with his hours-in-the-gym physique. He had the confidence of the successful young man who had proved his manhood through reproducing a smaller version of himself—only without hair. Apparently, no one had told him that the person who carries the baby within her body takes a few more days, weeks, months to fully recover from the experience of bringing another human being into the world.
“Money has nothing to do with you and me…” Heather’s voice betrayed her anger and resentment in addition to the hours spent caring for their child.
Travis withdrew his possessive hand from her knee, folded his arms across his chest, and turned to look out of the window next to him.
After working through several communication skills, it became apparent that it would take more than talk to heal the differences between these two. In spite of Heather’s protestations, it was about the money as far as Travis was concerned. From young DINKs (Double Income No Kids) to the credit card shuffle in a few short months, this couple voted most likely to stay married appeared unable to survive the birth of their first child.
Heather’s pregnancy had been tough on both of them, as she had to quit her well-paying job after being confined to bed rest during her fifth month. The loss of her income placed additional stress on Travis to make up the difference by taking on extra jobs on nights and weekends. After talking this out successfully, I thought things were improving. Then Travis shared that he had lost his “loving feelings” toward Heather…which may or may not have had anything to do with her lost income, or her baby weight, or the drain of more money going out with less coming in.
I suggested regression therapy to see if we could get some history of their spiritual union over time. Travis suggested Heather be regressed as “I can’t be hypnotized,” he announced with pride.
I resisted the urge to ask him if anyone had ever tried, because I already knew the answer: “no”.
Heather arrived a little late and flustered, “Sorry, but Travis didn’t get home to take care of the baby when he promised…”
After giving her some time to settle down and relax into the process, we went over the questions she and Travis had to explore their past lives together. The questions pointed to what had made them happy in previous relationships in past lives they were certain they had shared….and what might have happened to ruin the relationship.
Diane:Where are you now?
Heather:In the country…on a small farm.
Diane:Tell me more about it.
Heather went on to describe an English countryside sometime during the 19th century. She and Travis worked the land, raised crops and cared for animals. They were happy. But they were unable to have children of their own. When Heather’s sister was widowed, Heather and Travis welcomed her family to live with them. There was plenty of love between the couple to enhance the good times and to sustain them through the crop failures and other adversities that were part of that modest life. As far as Heather could see, that marriage was happy throughout that lifetime.
When she returned to the present, Heather’s eyes clouded in confusion. “I thought this would help me figure out what went wrong then, so we could avoid it now.”
“And?”
“Did I miss something? Nothing went wrong…” she answered, still puzzled.
We talked more about the experience, and her face glowed remembering how wonderful their marriage was, their partnership, and their mutual support. Clearly, Travis and Heather were gifted with the love they have for each other.
“Is it about the baby?” she asked, almost afraid to hear the answer. “I don’t think so,” I replied. “What are you feeling, right now?”
Wrapping her arms around herself in an enthusiastic self-hug, she grinned. “I’m in love with my husband!”
After further discussion about their former circumstances, she acknowledged that losing her financial support had a more profound effect on Travis than either of them realized. Heather went home determined to increase her attention toward Travis and to praise him for his extra efforts to support the family, rather than complain about his attitude.
In addition to dissolving the negative energy in difficult relationships, past-life regressions can rekindle the positive energy present in an earlier life together. Apparently, even though Travis was not pre-sent for the regression, he was affected by it. When Heather arrived home that evening, Travis welcomed her with open arms and apologies for his apparent lack of interest in her or their marriage since their son’s birth.
These two continued couples counseling with the resentment and anger dissolved in their renewed commitment to each other and their marriage. The ease with which they spoke kindly to each other and the dramatic increase in loving feeling in both directions was obvious. Years and two more children later, Heather and Travis are still the “happily married couple” on the corner.
Traditional talk therapy might have gotten there eventually, but regression therapy revealed the underlying issue quickly in dramatic...
