Life is a Movie
When you were little, did you ever pretend you were acting in a movie? Well, you are. That’s what the theory of reincarnation tells us. Because our viewpoint is necessarily couched in linear time it is inconceivable to us that everyone we have met in our lives – even strangers passing on the street who we don’t even nod to – get together on some level and agree to people each other’s lives. It’s very much like actors in a movie getting together, rehearsing, having a performance, and disbanding at the end. In our different lifetimes we star in different movies: sometimes we’re in action movies; sometimes we’re in romances; sometimes we’re in comedy movies; and sometimes we’re in tragedies.
That is to say, sometimes it is just people’s life purpose to suffer unspeakable pain, or boredom and “meaninglessness”. When we run past life regressions we see that most of our own lives have been like that. We can call our karmic debt a type of pay per view – the lessons we have to learn are the cost we bear of reincarnating. It is only when we have burnt out our karma, exhausted the striving which turns the wheel of reincarnation , that we obtain new movie release – that is to say, release from the revolving wheel of life, death, and rebirth.
Past life regressions can be considered movie trailers – glimpses of our karma in other lifetimes and realities. Running past life regressions are like free movie downloads in which we can obtain an overview of our karma in all our lifetimes without having to actually pay (suffer). We only burn to DVD – i.e. make a permanent impression in the Akashic Records – when are suffering. When striving ends, so too does suffering; and when suffering ends, the revolving wheel of reincarnation comes to a halt.
