As an example, in the case of our Colorado fur trapper friend, his upper back pain began during his mid-thirties in this lifetime when he was betrayed by a business associate – “stabbed in the back”, so to speak. During his Past Life Therapy session, it was revealed that he was approximately the same age when he was murdered in his past life. In a similar vein, my student’s Public Speaking phobia did not begin until later in life. In his case, though, the precipitating event occurred several years prior during an important speaking engagement. As he stood at the podium and prepared to deliver a Keynote address at a professional conference, he was horrified to learn that what he thought were the notes for his address were actually something else entirely unrelated. This apparently was similar enough to the events of his experience in the Coliseum of Ancient Rome that a phobia was precipitated. It may well be that past lives (in many instances) would be more appropriately called adjacent lives and the life that is affecting us most at any given moment may not be our most recent incarnation, but can be any one of a multitude of existences, no matter how seemingly remote in what we currently perceive as space and time. Instead of being laid out in a neat line, our various incarnations are actually part of a much more active and inherently unstable arrangement. The easiest analogy to imagine is a roll of pennies, each with a different consecutive date from 1800 to the present, all stacked in chronological order. Someone knocks over the stack and the coins roll and scatter and eventually come to rest everywhere – on top of each other, next to one another, heads up, heads down.
