Past life causes can manifest as a phobia, chronic illness or body state, addiction, mental disorder, relationship problems, inexplicable attraction or aversion to someone, recurring nightmares, financial challenges, or a simple sense of unease.

It may well be that we’re inflicting misery on ourselves as a way of absolving our guilt from the past. It shows us that, as spiritual beings, we’re part of a lives-long process. We may need to experience what we construe, from the limited perspective of our current life, as an “awful life” in order to balance out other experiences, or to round out our compassion and empathy for other people. It shows us the long, intricate strands of our relationships weaving their, way through many roles and interactions over dozens of lifetimes. It can also teach us that the people we think hate us most, in fact love us enough to put us through hell. Not because we deserve it, or as a punishment, but because we have chosen to learn that particular lesson - to have the necessary experience.
