 My interest in reincarnation began one night as I drove past an old cemetery in a town I had never been in before. As I drove past the entrance to the graveyard, I began sobbing hysterically. I knew, without any doubt, that I was buried there. Somehow, I knew my name had been Sarah and the date I had died. Since it was late at night and I was not particularly fond of exploring graveyards in the dark--not to mention how scared I was--I returned home and thought about my experience all night long. By morning, I had convinced myself that I was crazy. Nevertheless, I went back to the cemetery and walked right over to the grave I felt was mine. The name and dates on the headstone were the same ones I had become aware of the night before. As I stood there, looking at my own grave, I began to remember events and emotions that belonged to me when I was someone else.
    The experience was so real and so vivid that even my conscious mind couldn't deny it. This experience opened up a new world for me. It was an exciting world of understanding and insight and knowledge about who I was, why I'm here, and the experiences that have shaped and molded me into who I am now. I realized that this experience led to the unfolding of my destiny that I had chosen before my birth into this lifetime.
    The knowledge and awareness I've gained, both in this lifetime and in my past lives, are echoes of many different experiences and many voices. The more I learn, the more I become aware of the vast knowledge that is within all of us. This book is my way of sharing the knowledge I have acquired and is offered to help you remember and understand who you were before, how all of your past lives have led you to who you are now, and how they will influence who you will become. Discovering Your Past Lives

From the Introduction ...

   Ever since time began—whenever that was, it was such a long time ago that I can’t really remember it—people have been pondering the mysteries of time. From time to time, we’ve all thought about how time really works. Perhaps at one time or another, you’ve experienced time in a different structure other than past, present, and future—today is, yesterday was, and tomorrow will be. At times, maybe all the vibrations of past, present, and future blended together. Maybe because of the experiences in your life when time refused to fit into a nice, neat, logical explanation, you began to wonder about time, and maybe you decided to look into it more thoroughly. In doing so, maybe you began to change your focus of awareness to fit your experiences; and you found that time didn’t hold true to linear, limited vibrations of past, present, and future.

   Being curious about time myself, since I’ve purposely placed myself into many of my past lives and inadvertently tripped into a few of my future lives, I thought it would be interesting to deeply explore the energy expressions of time as it relates to the vibrations of our experiences in all of our past, present, and future lives. Many of my past-life regression clients have looked into their future lives while they were exploring issues in a past life that affected their present life. They found that their future lives had just as much, if not more, influence on their present life—showing them that the future creates the past and the present just as much as the past creates the present and the future. 

   Simultaneously looking into and living in all of your past, present, and future lives can be illuminating and enlightening; it offers us the opportunity to stretch our awareness and expand our horizons. It enables us to see more of ourselves and to get a clearer, more complete picture of our experiences—to see how they happen, to understand why they happen, and to become aware of what we can do about them now—how we can influence and change aspects of them in the past, the present, and the future, if we choose.

   This book is based on thirty-five years of personal experience and on the experiences of my students and hypnosis clients. It does not reflect a scientific study of time, nor is it intended to be a comprehensive coverage of the many theories of time. It merely relates what I’ve discovered about how time works in relationship to past, present, and future lives, and the conclusions I’ve drawn. Better minds than mine have looked into the nature of time and been baffled by the subtle quirks and mysterious expressions of it. Even Einstein had difficulty with it. I’m no expert, just a soul journeying through my Earth experiences in physical form trying to see how time really works by understanding how it relates to the experiences in my life.

   This book offers a redefinition of a past-life point of view about reincarnation; it’s centered in the present and woven into all the interrelated aspects of past and future events that your soul is in the process of experiencing. It offers you ways to explore various vibrations of time—to look into your past, present, and future lives—and to draw your own conclusions based on what you experience in different dimensions of time.

   The way you view and experience time will be influenced to a certain extent by your thoughts and beliefs and what you’ve previously read or heard about. As you read this book and explore the ideas and concepts it contains, keep an open mind; listen to your thoughts and feelings, and follow your interpretations. Try not to separate your thoughts into past, present, and future vibrations of time; keep them synchronized with the experiences in your present life to see for yourself how time operates. Simultaneous time can be a bit abstract; there’s nothing concrete about it. Logic doesn’t mix well with abstraction. If you try to view time logically in order to fit it into a concrete frame of reality, you’ll end up with a huge headache, because time isn’t logical. Keep in mind that everything is relative and can be easily understood by applying it to what you experience in your explorations of time.

   The key to unlocking the mysteries of simultaneous, synchronous time is to be centered in the present, into the eternal NOW. Watch how time vibrates in the present as it flows in, around, and through your experiences—to see how it affects your present life and influences your past and future lives. I’d like to offer you a wonderful adventure. Turn the page and travel through time. Expand your outlook and open your insights. Journey to higher horizons and visit new vistas. Explore all the vibrations of your experiences—right here, right now. I invite you to see through the present to look into the time-spaces of all your lives—past, present, and future.

Future Lives: Discovering & Understanding Your Destiny

From the Introduction ...

   In every sense of the word, I’m a free spirit. I’m also a real person, learning how to synchronize my energy vibrations into all my experiences. Being physical and spiritual at the same time, and in the same dimension, is an exciting and challenging adventure. Sometimes I wonder what life is all about and what’s real. I wonder who I really am and if I’ll ever know all there is to know about the true nature of my soul.

   The idea for this book was born inside a rainbow that whispered to me in my dreams. As a little girl, I loved walking barefoot through the rain and looking for rainbows. (I still do.) I thought rainbows were magical because they only appeared in the sky when the clouds cleared and the sun began to shine after it rained. Whenever I’d see a rainbow, I’d feel an incomparable sense of awe and joy within myself. It was like opening a wonderful gift and discovering a beautiful treasure.

   Somewhere inside me, I knew that rainbows were real and magical at the same time and I shared a special secret with the rainbow. I knew the rainbow had really been there all the time, just waiting for the sun so it could magically appear.

   When I grew up, I left my rainbows and sunshine in the sky and lived in what everyone told me was the real world for a while before I saw how unreal it was. I felt lost in a world that I thought belonged to other people, not to me. Deep inside, I knew something special and important was missing, and that I wasn’t being true to my real nature.

   Then one morning I woke to the sound of raindrops tapping softly on my window. As I listened to the rain, I remembered that the rainbow was centered between both worlds as it blended into the earth and the universe. I returned to the world of my imagination and dreams, and began a journey into myself to look for my soul. As I walked through the rain and traveled within the quietness of my mind, I found my rainbow again and knew what was real. Mystical knowledge can always be found hidden in the light, waiting to magically appear to anyone who knows the secret. The key is to look for the light within yourself.

   Although this book is based on a past life memory, in a world where tangible things seem to matter, this book is termed fiction—a fantasy created in my imagination and in my dreams, but I know it’s really much more than that. It’s a down-to-earth, mystical search for truth—a quest for knowledge—that every soul, at one time and in one form or another, will experience as they embark on a journey to see what life is really all about and to understand who they truly are.

   Because I feel that spiritual knowledge is to be taken seriously, I thought the best way to write this book would be in a lighthearted manner. Appearances aren’t always what they seem to be, and in this way I sincerely hope you’ll see how special the characters and their experiences really are because they bring the joy of knowing and the treasure of truth into your awareness through the magical avenues of your imagination and dreams.

   At first glance, it may appear that Rainbow, Lavender, Amanda, and the other characters in the book are imaginary—especially the ones you’ll find running through the pages and hiding in the paragraphs—but they tend to become real when you see them in your mind. If you read between the lines and look below the surface, you may feel their thoughts and see their experiences vibrate with energy. You might recognize parts of yourself in their personalities or see familiar pieces of their experiences in your life.

   Many of the situations and scenes portrayed in this book are symbolic of spiritual reawakening and represent the mystical knowledge I’ve acquired through many lifetimes. But some of the stuff is merely my interpretation of what I’ve found to be true for me. There’s more to truth than meets the eye and to see it clearly, you have to see it for yourself. That’s the joy of knowing. If you look within the mirror of your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and dreams, you’ll see the reflection of your spiritual knowledge and rediscover the essence of your soul.

   As I hope you’ll also discover in the magical world of your inner knowledge, Rainbow is more than she appears to be—just as in your world, you’re more than you appear to be. As you open yourself up to seeing who you really are, and you begin to travel a mystical journey into your soul, keep in mind that the book only appears to be a reality and the characters only seem to be an illusion. The truth of the matter is: The words are an illusion, but the world they’ve created is real. Somewhere Over the Rainbow: A Soul's Journey Home

From Chapter One ... The Rainbow Path

         Once upon a dream … 

      I listened to the rain patter gently on the glass of the open window. Thinking I should get up and close the window, I noticed it was nearly dawn and the sun was beginning to rise. I thought this was curious—that the sun could be seen through the clouds. I rose to close the window and looking up at the sky, I saw the most beautiful rainbow I’ve ever seen. It was shimmering in the light reflected from the sun, radiating sparkles of rain­bow-colored light everywhere. I wondered how a rainbow could appear in the sky when it was still raining and the sun wasn’t fully above the horizon or clearly visible through the soft, misty clouds and decided I must be dreaming.

      “Follow your dream,” the rainbow said.

      If I was dreaming, I thought to myself, then maybe I could fly up into and through this magical, mystical rainbow to ex­perience the awe and wonder and joy of it with every part of my being. It sounded like a wonderful thing to do and I decided to follow this dream to see where the rainbow would lead me. I had a feeling that if I could somehow get inside this rain­bow, and if I totally involved all my senses in exploring and experiencing the rainbow with every part of my awareness—seeing, touching, smelling, tasting, and hearing the harmony of the colors—I could become the essence of the rainbow. Then maybe I’d be able to feel the energies of the colors vibrating all around me and through me, inside my heart, within my body and my mind, encircling my soul.

      I wanted to feel the vibrations of the rainbow emanating from within my body—from within the center of my being, the very core of my soul—and radiating outward from myself. I wanted to become a rainbow of colors, vibrating and shim­mering in a magical flow and radiance of energy, expanding both inward and outward. If I could become the rainbow, then I could rise above the rainbow through the mist into the white light of the universe, and I could become the essence of white light and feel the light vibrating in harmony with my soul, in tune with my spiritual essence.

      I heard the voice whisper again in my mind, somewhere inside my dream. “Would you like to take a wonderful journey into a magical, mystical place where you can follow a rainbow path to open up the true reality of your physical world and ex­plore the multidimensionality of your soul, to remember and rediscover all the knowledge you have within you as you awaken to your spiritual self?”

      “Yes,” I said, and I was inside the color red at the bottom of the rainbow. I wondered what I’d find inside each color. Soul Shimmers: Awakening Your Spiritual Self
