CANNIBLISM IN AFRICA
A young girl is sitting next to her mother. She is 12 years old and has black skin. Her mother is
tall and nude. She is weaving very flat, unorganized, and messy basket-like mattes. There are
men around, all seemingly shorter than the women. Some of the women seem cold and mean. As
the young girl looks up at the women, they grunt and make noises sternly at her and at the men.
She is both respectful and frightened by her mother and aunts. She has a few younger brothers,
but they hesitate to come near their mothers and cling to their fathers who seem more nurturing.
As the days pass, the young girl watches what the women do. She has a grandmother who sits
apart from the other woman. They all defer to her. The young girl watches a man who is very ill
and is siting off to the side of the whole tribe. Two men give him water. There is a hush when
the old man stops breathing, but only for several seconds. Then a chant goes out among the
women. It’s repeated and getting louder. The women of the tribe stand and take the body of the
man. They carry him to the center of the village. Many of the men retreat to the outskirts of the
village where they live separate from the women. A large fire is made. There is a joy that comes
to the women of the tribe, which was not there before the grandfather passed. The grandmother
leans over the body, sticking a hollowed-out reed into the side of the old man, and blood begins
to fill what looks like half shells and hollowed out fruit. The young girl is urged to fill her cup.
The women all drink the blood. She partakes as well, as if she is entranced. She joins the
women as they begin to brutally claw at the body. The genitals are given to her as she is the
6
youngest of the women. They are cooked on the fire with the man’s other organs. The feast
carries until the next day. The bones are dried and hit with stones into small pieces.
This process has been going on for many generations. The women believe that, by eating the
bodies of the men, they are gaining strength, wisdom, and life force. Although the men are the
victims, they are not murdered for the ritual, only eaten. All males, even boys would be
consumed by the women, and regardless of whether or not they were related. Female bodies
were burned upon the fire, but not eaten. The ritual is elaborate for the women, and they would
wear paint, drum and dance to send their sisters to the Gods. The females were the more
powerful sex.
This young woman joined fully in all rituals. She came to enjoy the feast of the bodies and was
often disappointed when she could not have the choice parts of the genitals, brain, and heart. She
became the right arm of her mother. She did not know who among the men her father was, nor
did any of them. The women would use the men for sex on days when the head woman chose.
The men would comply eagerly, often being in a submissive way on the bottom as the women
dominated. This was communal and would often be by way of group sex. The rest of the time,
the women would self-pleasure or pleasure each other. This was all closely ruled by the woman
most elderly. They did use objects in this pleasuring. The young woman never questioned and
always obeyed her mother.
Her first pregnancy came and she was joyful at the prospect. Her hopes though were shattered
when she had a boy who was soon cast off to the father after three to four months. Some boys
7
did not survive because of neglect. No judgment was made, and the bodies were consumed.
Love does develop between this young woman and another young woman. They would be
together all the time, and often be engaged in pleasuring each other. Individual relationships
were not allowed, and eventually the two were forbidden to be with each-other and were forced
to pleasure others instead. The young woman’s heart ached for the one she loved, but it was not
to be.
Spirit shows this tribe inhabited the side of a mountain and was mostly isolated from other
people and tribes. Sometimes the men would capture a man in the jungle. The women would
joyfully feast on the body and give the men extra sex for the bounty they brought. A day does
come when they bring back a live man. His hands are tied to a tree. This woman and her
mother, along with two others from the tribe, join in pulling the man’s skin off while he is still
alive. The man screams and wails as the tribe of women chant to the drums and eat his body.
This woman was pleased to be able to consume part the man’s penis and testicles as well as one
of his eyes. The men were rewarded with extra sex for weeks to follow. This started a new
chapter where those captured by the tribe would be murdered and consumed by the women.
This woman gave birth to 14 children throughout her life, and she felt particularly strong to have
birthed 10 girls, all of which followed her without question. At the end of her life, she would
suffer from visions. She would see animals and men who did not exist. She would be in a
perpetually altered state of awareness. Her daughters would pleasure her, and when she was
paired with men, she would scratch and claw at them. She would spend days just staring up at
8
the sky in a mental delusion. She was cared for at the end of her life by the woman who she
loved so long ago. She was the only one who could calm her. They would lay together,
caressing and pleasuring each other. It kept her calm, and she was an elder, so it was allowed.
She died at the age of 47.

VISIONS OF AN AFRICAN WARRIOR
There is a young man with black skin and black hair. His eyes have a reddish tint, and they are
cloudy, distant, and seemingly uncaring. He has large hands and a dirty face. His upper body is
well developed. He is standing in a line with other young men, in a jungle clearing. The
humidity is extreme, and the men smell absolutely rancid.
There are two older men who are training them. They are the elders of the tribe. The young men
carry spears, and some are holding carved out boulders. The elders point them in the direction of
the jungle. They all run screaming, but soon quiet. The young man is full of fear, but his heart is
also racing with adrenalin as he moves through the brush.
They reach a village and find woman, men, and small children walking about. Several of the
men have spears but are relaxed and not expecting anything. Within seconds, the young men
enter the village and kill the largest males first. They completely ignore the children, and some
get trampled on in the commotion. The young man encounters little resistance and some people
flee. He chases them and jumps upon them, stabbing their throats. They kill most all adults in
the village, and they begin to severe the heads off of the males. The heads are carried off along
with one full male body. The young man is covered with the blood of the people he killed. The
heads are heavy in their hands. The young man is surprised by the weight of the head he carries.
This small group of men arrive back at the clearing where the elders have started a fire. The
heads are stripped of the skin and face, and the jaw is ripped off. They drain the blood from the
body by hanging it up, and then they fill their large skull cups with the blood of their very first
10
kill. They drink the blood, and little is spoken. The elder nods in approval at what they
did. Then the men sleep.
During the night, the young man has horrific dreams of the man he killed. He can feel him in a
close and terrifying way. He wakes up in fear, and he’s startled to see that all the young men
were awake. They all stand, and all are frightened. There is a deep green colored mist that
swirls around them. Some of the young men weep as they can see the faces of the men and
women they murdered swirling around in the mist. The elders stand in the middle of the mist,
fully aware of it and not frightened. They wave for the young men to stand in the center of it all
and face the fears of the spirit.
Slowly, the young men enter the center to face their fear. The young man, frightened, almost
flees into the forest, but enters the mist with the others. The sensation feels like hands pulling at
his legs, and a sinking into the Earth feeling. He is reassured by the two elders. He sees through
the mist, one of the young men run into the jungle, screaming. The young man feels a spinning
and he can see the trees spinning, and they are all now spinning in the mist with the spirit faces
of the men they killed. The face of the man he killed is right in his face. They spin together until
he loses consciousness.
He awakens with the sun shining brightly in his eyes. He feels a slight pain to his head. He is
back in his village, lying next to a burnt-out fire with the others, and he sees the two elders
sitting. There are no skulls. The one young man who had run off is not there. The elders
smile. They seem proud of the young men. They give them all anklets and necklaces made from
11
a mixture of human and animal bones. These young men are now warriors of the tribe.
The villagers slowly awaken to the bright and beautiful day. The young man is congratulated by
his parents, and a grab of the arm by his mother makes him feel slightly better. There is a look
of knowing from his father, having undergone the same rite long ago.
** Spirit says no one was actually killed that night, it was a vision, and each of the young men
saw something different. The young man who fled was banished from the village and would not
be allowed to join the tribe. **
This young man is soon married to a young girl he knew his whole life. She had a huge smile for
him at all times, and he truly adored her. They have three children together, and he was quite
passionate for her.
One early morning, his vision becomes a reality as men enter the village and attack. He saw his
elderly parents killed by spear. He tried to intervene, but as he ran to get his spear, he was
jumped from behind. He could see the eyes of his own small child looking at him as he felt
cutting and slicing of his face. The vision from his eyes is lost in blood, and he could feel pain
and extreme coldness. He tried to scream and call out, but no sound was made. Then there was
darkness.
** Spirit reveals this life, showing the life of an ancient warrior who never had a chance to
practice his craft. This life left a yearning in the soul to return, to complete the experience and
12
win a fight. Spirit shows one of the elders from this past life is a spirit guide to you in your
current incarnation. **

TRIBAL LIFE AS AN AFRICAN WOMAN
A young African woman is walking through a village. She wears only a cloth skirt and necklace.
Her eyes are big, and her hair is mostly un-kept. She carries an uneven bowl to a hut where her
mother, grandmother, and two sisters are making a mixture of a root and various other plants.
This young woman pours the water on top of it, and they continue to mix and mash up the
root. The women laugh and smile at each other.
The grandmother points across the way to the young men who are in full traditional hunting
costume. They are painted and have spears but wear no clothing. The women watch as the men
do their traditional dance. The young woman stares intently at the young men. All of them have
erections, and she becomes aroused at the site of them. One of them has an extraordinarily large
penis. The women all giggle some as they watch.
The ceremonies continue throughout the day, and she and her sister are visited by the eldest
woman of the village who tells them they will be chosen to marry in the next few days. The
young woman becomes serious and worried about which of the men it will be, but it was beyond
her control.
Her mother and grandmother spend time speaking to her and her sister about being a wife. She
listens with only partial attention as she continues to look over at the men. She wonders which
one would choose her, and then she looks at the large man. She was intrigued by him, but also a
bit frightened.
14
As night falls, she is colored with face paint and various plant mixtures. The dancing begins, and
the men dance as do the women. The dust and dirt is kicked into the air. There is a deep sexual
tension building between the two groups. Several words are spoken by the elders, and two
young men come to choose her. One of the two men is the well-endowed one. They were made
to have tests of strength to see who would have her. She was hoping that neither would be
injured, and she did like the idea of the large man choosing her.
When all was done, the one she wanted came for her. He took her into a larger hut where other
couples were. There was no privacy, and no kissing. The lovemaking for her was painful and
animalistic and was not loving in any way. Although there was an excitement about it, she felt a
deep sadness, and she didn’t know what to think. It did not matter, she remained there, and he
would come back every so often, and eventually she began to feel more enjoyment.
A smaller hut is built for the two of them, and she enjoyed keeping it neat and tidy for him. She
would help gather food in the community. It would be shared freely, and they all lived in
abundance. She was soon pregnant. It was a real and true love between them, but there was a
harsh, animalistic side to the man, the hunter.
When hunting one day, her husband is attacked by a cougar. There is a large wound and the
nerves on his leg were severed. He suffered with fever for many days. She stayed with him,
mixing roots, and the shaman of the village came several times. One night, while she was in bed
beside her husband, she had visions of running through the bush with balls of light following
her. Upon waking from this dream, she found her husband had come out of his sleep and was
15
able to walk, but it was slow and with a severe limp.
Her husband was not allowed to hunt with the men. He became angry and depressed because he
could not provide for her and their coming child. He would spend long hours alone while she
was with the women. She was close with the shaman of the village, and he would try to help the
man, so he could be what he was meant to be. She gave birth to a baby boy. She wanted to have
more children, but by that time, her husband was no longer interested in her as a woman.
She starts having sex with the shaman and becomes pregnant. The child is born a girl, and he
knows it is not his. Her husband waits until the right time, and then takes the baby to a field
where he leaves her for the lions. The woman pleads and begs him to tell her where the baby is,
but he does not comply. At the direction of the elders, men hold the man’s head in the fire until
he tells them where he left the baby. The men race to the field, but the baby is gone. The young
woman weeps as do many women of the village, and the tribe is enraged. The man is speared,
and they drag his body to the same place where he left the baby. He was consumed by the wild.
The woman would stare emptily at the sides of the hut with her small boy at her legs. The
shaman came many times and slowly helped to heal her. She does give birth to two more
children by him, both boys. She lived to be 53 years of age.
** Spirit says this woman was an incarnation of your soul. This was a lifetime 41 lives ago.
Spirit shows you have helped this shaman in many lives, and in this one, he was helping
you. This shaman, who is a close soul to you, is not in your life physically. **

THE EGYPTIAN SNAKE GODDESS
There is a young girl with black hair. She is eight years of age. She is carried by two men on a
platform. The rods sit upon their shoulders, and she rides on the flat part above. This young girl
is of an ancient and powerful bloodline. The people call her father, Emperor. She is lowered
down, and they sit beside a river. In the distance, there are large stones being moved by men.
Her mother enters a tent, and they wait for her.
While they wait, there is a large serpent/snake that sticks its head out of the water. The girl is
unmoved. She sits and just watches the very large snake. Its head is the size of a soft ball. The
snake inches closer to her, and then circles around her. It is poised to strike the girl. The men
are frightened, and they come closer with sticks, but fear moving. Then the girl’s eyes begin to
glow, and the snake begins to sway back and forth, as if in a trance. She breaths deeply, and the
snake just falls dead.
The men touch the snake with sticks, but it is lifeless. They are amazed at what transpired, and
they rush the girl into the tent where they find the girl’s mother having intercourse with two
men. The young girl runs from the tent as do the men, and they await the wrath and fallout of
the stern and vicious woman.
Her mother comes out from the tent, and the men immediately fall to their knees. She picks up
the chin of each of the two men and speaks harshly. They do not reveal about the snake as she
would only put them to death for any more trouble. Then she sits beside her daughter. The
young girl was saddened by what she had seen. Her mother gives her the gold bracelet off of her
17
wrist, and then puts a finger to the girl’s lips, sternly indicating she must never speak of what she
had seen. The young girl, with tears in her eyes, nodded. The tears dripped onto the bracelet
which had the etchings of a snake pattern on it.
After this incident, the young girl began paying close attention to her parents, both ruthless to
those whom they kept enslaved, including the priests who practiced in snake charming. Her
father humored her, having the men put on demonstrations to teach her how to work with snakes.
The snakes obeyed the girl without a flute and without a stick. With a glance, she could make
the snakes move and dance. People began coming to see her charm the snakes.
Her father spent time trying to find her a mate, but no men met his approval. During this time,
her relationship with her mother grew more distant. She knew both her parents had many lovers,
and she used her knowledge to her advantage. She acquired her own space, separate from them,
on the far side of the palace.
She began spending more time with snakes than with people. She would keep them in various
baskets, and would store them overnight, only to find the snakes gathered around her each
morning. This became normal, and she built an immense trust with the snakes. Her father and
mother were petrified of them. They knew of the snake’s power and believed them to be Gods.
Overtime, this young woman became known as a living Snake Goddess. For the people of that
time, and even for her parents who ruled, it was a love/hate relationship with snakes. They were
the protector of the throne, but they were also a symbol of the spiritual and the underworld, of
18
which little was known.
As this young woman grows closer to the snakes, she becomes more distant toward her parents.
Her dfather does pick a young man to be her husband. He was a great warrior and conqueror of
lands, and her father trusted him with his life. She was called upon to give up her snakes and be
obedient to this man.
The two are married, and there is an elaborate ceremony. Her husband was course and direct,
and he struggled to keep his ego in check. He wished to rule her, even though she was the
Emperor’s daughter. Her father directed her to obey this man, and to serve him as she would her
Gods. She refused, and tensions built. This man was not compassionate to her.
Eventually she does become pregnant and finds peace for a time. The baby was born a boy. Her
husband softened some after this, but she knew she did not love this man, nor would she ever. In
the ruthlessness she attained from her parents, she brought a snake to bed, and put an end to her
marriage. She felt little remorse for what she did.
She never remarried but had many lovers. Her son was raised mostly by servants, but she kept a
close bond with him. She also had three other children by various men. Her father, as he aged,
respected her as a woman closely aligned with himself. He respected her power. She was asked
to bring the power of the Snake Goddess to bear on large decisions. This was much to the
dismay of the ruling priests. They did eventually acknowledge her knowing and direct link with
the snake energy.
19
She and her mother never spoke, but she always did keep her mother’s secret, out of not wishing
to hurt her father. She saw the death of her father, and one of her sons. She lived to see herself
moved from the palace and into a smaller home alongside, and she was no longer consulted by
the bloodline. She worked with the high priests to bring forth the wisdom of the snakes, and
several people from distant lands sought out her knowledge. She died at the age of 78. This was
considered to be very old at the time.
There was a secret ceremony by high priests who entombed her with many symbols of snakes
and serpents. The snakes would travel with her to the next world.
** Spirit says this woman was an incarnation of your soul. This was in Egypt. Spirit says the
Snake Goddess was well known, and her tomb is still buried in the sand to this day. **

ROMANCE ON THE FRENCH VINEYARD
A young shapely woman is standing on a balcony that overlooks the square of an old city. She is
wearing a long elegant gown. She watches the merchants pushing their carts of goods into the
market at the other end of the square. The morning spring sun feels good upon her skin. She has
black hair and a broad smile.
She notices the young men who help their father’s in the market. She waves at one young man
who calls out to her. At that moment, her father steps out onto the balcony. Many people look
up at them as he is a man of stature and prominence. He quickly escorts her inside, telling her of
the proper behavior he expects.
Her mother, hearing the commotion, runs in to intervene. She quickly changes the conversation
to the husband’s schedule that day and reminds him of how she and their daughter and son are
about to depart to the countryside for many days to visit with her sister. Her husband spoke
about their safety and embraced them both, then exited the home to conduct trading with gold in
a large nearby building. The young woman looked forward to visiting her aunt. Her aunt was
not as refined as her mother, but she was a kind woman, and was fond of her niece.
In preparation for the trip, this young woman and her mother fill large trunks with clothing for
their voyage. It would be dirty and rough through the hills that surrounded the city. They were
of wealth, opulence, and had many servants. When the large coach arrives, the women are
dressed in their finest gowns for the journey.
21
They arrive at her aunt’s estate. There are large sections of land where grapes and olives are
growing. As the days unfold, the young woman notices the young men looking upon her, and
she smiles back at them. The men who work the property are muscular and handsome. Her
mother warns her not to deal with these men of such a lower class, but her heart ached for
companionship. Her aunt encouraged her to walk the vineyard and bring food to her uncle who
worked the fields with these men. She was introduced to one man who oversaw the others. He
took off his hat to her and said sweet and charming words.
As the days passed, she found herself sneaking off with this man who was several years older
than her. They had passionate encounters there among the vines. He would touch her, and she
could feel such a deep connection. They soon became brazen about their new love. Her mother
and uncle came looking for her one day, and found her half clothed, making mad passionate love
with this man. She was scolded by her mother and the man was sent away by her uncle. She
spent the rest of her days there in tears, having fallen in love with this man.
Their time now done, they board the coach and leave for the old city. She was devastated. Along
the road she sees her love, and she yells for the driver to stop. She opens the door before him,
and jumps out of the coach, kissing and hugging this man. Her mother yells from inside, but her
daughter does not stop. Both are in tears, and even her mother is touched by their love. Finally,
she leaves him, and her mother instructs the driver to press on.
She is saddened to arrive back at the city. Her mother does not speak of the events to her
father. The young woman soon found herself constantly ill, and it was not long before her
22
mother knew she was pregnant. Efforts were quickly made to find a suitor, and her mother
pressed the father to begin a search without telling him of what was transpiring. The young
woman pleaded with her mother to allow her to go back to her Aunt’s to be with the father, but
her mother persisted against it.
There was one man who was very keen on her, but the relationship did not last long before he
discovered she was pregnant. At this point, there was nothing that could be done to hide the
truth. The father, furious of what transpired at the aunt’s estate, became enraged. He disowned
his daughter, saying she had shamed him and the whole family. She wept at losing those she
loved.
She was allowed to go live with her Aunt, and she thought about the man she had such a deep
passion with. When she arrives at the estate, she learns that her love had killed himself in
despair. The sadness for her was overwhelming. The child was born a boy, and he looked a lot
like the father. She was both joyful and saddened at the arrival. She only saw her mother once a
year. It was always a cold encounter, and she never saw her father again.
She introduced herself to the parents of her departed lover and they embrace her as family. He
had a younger brother who was enchanted by her and the boy. He worked at the estate as well
and they soon began a romance. They had a love for one another, but never married. They had
five children together, three boys and two girls. They lived in abundance and were given a
section of the vineyard by her aunt before she passed away. Their love continued to burn until
the day she died. She saw her children marry, and came to know 21 grandchildren. She passed
23
away at the age of 55.
** This past life is shown to reveal that your soul has known deep and passionate love with a
man that transcended class. In this past life, you explored the human experience of abundance,
true love, loss, abandonment, and severed family relationships. She also went on to know the
love of family and moving on in the face of being shunned. This past life left a deep impression
on your soul and was also a turning point and advancement, at least as it comes to Earthly
lessons. This life has given your soul a refinement and there is a dignity and integrity your soul
carries which is challenged here from time to time. **

ARTISTIC FRENCH WOMAN
A young woman is painting in a small room. There is clutter all around her, and there are
carvings and small sculptures. She wears a large elegant dress and has long flowing red hair.
She sits in this room, looking out at the scenery from her house. There are ornate buildings and
rolling hills all fueling her inspirations. The shapes and colors of the landscape make her feel so
very alive.
Suddenly, there is a loud noise at the front of the home, a banging, and then it is the voice of an
intoxicated man. He stumbles into the home, and she immediately jumps up and closes the door.
She hurries to a stove and begins trying to light it. This man is her husband, and they have no
children, even after several years of marriage.
Her husband comes close to her. He speaks loudly and waves his hands at her. She begins to cry
and plead with him. He grabs her tightly by the arms and speaks sternly into her face. Then he
turns and moves quickly to the room where she does her artwork. He opens the door, and in a
rage, throws everything onto the floor and stomps and crushes her work to pieces. The paint and
colors all run to together, and the work all crumbles under his feet. This is many weeks of work,
destroyed.
The woman is in tears and leaves out the front of the home. The man yells after her. She travels
by foot down a narrow dirt path into town. She arrives at her mother’s home where she sits until
her husband sobers up. Her mother is a thin, petite woman. She is not understanding and scolds
her daughter for her actions.
25
The young woman stays at her mother‘s home overnight. She feels alone. When she returns to
her home the next morning, her husband is not there and the room she was working in is all
cleaned out. There are no paints or carvings; all her things are gone. That evening she cooks a
meal and has it ready when her husband comes home. He sits quietly and says not a word.
This young woman is forced to give up her passion for art and commit to her duty as a wife. She
suffers from depression and sadness for many years. They do eventually have one child, a girl,
and the woman takes delight in her role as a mother. There is no closeness she feels with her
husband. She never takes up her artistic work again, even after her husband dies. She was a
religious woman and lived by her vows. In her remaining years, she spent her time with her
three grandchildren. She passes away at the age of 66.
** Spirit shows this was a recent life in France. It took place only three lives ago. This life
reveals how free you are to do creative work now than in recent lives. You are blessed in this
life to have the freedom to pursue creativity and be curious and enrich your soul. Spirit shows
the deep lessons learned in this past life, of allowing another to take away your passion, to
sacrifice it for another, and how painful it was. Spirit shows this left a scar on your soul to not
be able to express in an artistic way. It is healed though. It is only an impression. The daughter
is a soul you have come to know in your current life. **

LIFE AS A JAPANESE WIFE
A woman of Asian descent is sitting on a long, low bench. There are well-manicured bushes and
ornamental plants in the garden where she sits. There is a long wall in front of her, and above
this wall is a mountain view. There is no lawn to speak of, just rocks and perfectly placed
bushes. This woman wears a tight silk gown or robe. The pattern is fancy with swirling purple
and green, and it ties tightly around her hips. She has black hair, tightly tied back.
A man descends the steps of the home. This man is her husband. He carries a small knife in his
hand, which he uses to prune a small ornamental tree. He pays his wife no mind, as if not seeing
her at all. She rises and walks slowly to him. There are birds chirping loudly. She looks down
and does not look up. No eye contact or sound is made by her; she only makes a slight noise
with her feet as she walks. Her husband turns and points to the home, and speaks to her sternly,
in very short words. The woman turns and promptly goes into the home.
Their home is made of thin walls of bamboo and thinly sliced wood, and there are small statues
and drawings throughout the interior. Inside the home, this woman begins preparing a large
meal. This is a difficult task, and she struggles to prepare all the food before the guests arrive.
There are large portions of fish and huge platters of sliced fruit and vegetables. She is still
preparing the meal when her husband’s parents arrive, both of whom look down upon her. Her
mother-in-law takes control of the meal and re-sorts all the work she had done. Other guests of
his family arrive, and there are many who practically ignore this woman. She is content to stand
next to her husband with her head down.
27
The men eat in one area of the home, and the women in another. Where the women sit, there is
only conversation between the mother-in-law and one of her sisters. The rest of the women are
silent. When the meal is complete, the men walk the garden behind the home, and the women sit
quietly. They do not assist the woman in cleaning. There is a coldness she feels from his
family, but she accepts this as her family is of a lower class.
There is no warmth she feels from her husband. There are no gestures of love or special gifts.
This woman is completely respectful and obedient, and she is content in this role. She does not
love her husband, but there is no other way. The man does love her but cannot express his love
in this culture. There is coldness to the marriage, created by tradition and culture. The woman
never rises up or takes a stand for herself. She always does her wifely and motherly duties.
This woman becomes pregnant, and they have a boy. They have two more children, both girls.
She had an iron hand with the children, and there was complete respect and fear, which lasted
until the woman was in her late 40’s. When she becomes the elder, she finds her smile. This
woman has 10 grandchildren and lives to be 68 years of age. Her husband passes away four
years before her.
** Spirit says this woman was an incarnation of your soul. This life is where Japan is today, on
a tiny island. Spirit reveals this life, showing the experience your soul had of being the
respectful, obedient wife. This was not a life of love, but of family, and of duty and respect. This
life left an imprint on the soul of what love is not. Spirit says the husband and mother-in-law are
28
both souls you know in your life today, as well as the soul of the boy. Spirit also says one of the
girls is a soul you will come to know in your current life. **

A PSYCHIC GIFT BROUGHT TO ROME
A young man is sitting on the ground with his mother in a small stone home. This is the home
his father was raised in, and has been in his family for many generations. This young man is
eating vegetables and grains. He has black hair and wears a robe. He is an only child.
His father spends his days speaking with the men of the village. He will also work the many
gardens which are communal, and the harvest is shared with all families. Each family has
several animals and the breeding of the animals is shared as well. It is all carefully negotiated
with the older men of the village. There are no issues, and when there are, they are quickly
settled.
While the young man eats, his mother humorously speaks of the men and their important
talking. She tells him, “Only the Gods bestow the bounty, not the men and their negotiating.”
His mother had a wonderful sense of humor. She was more outspoken and joyful in comparison
to others in the village. He had a great respect for her. His father saw this as very different and
did not quite have the same faith.
This young man would often escort his mother to her sister’s home in a village not far away.
Whenever he was there, he would get a sense of dread, but he could not place why. He would
often find himself standing, staring into space, and then be nudged back into focus by his
mother.
At night, he would wake from intense dreams of people starving, sick, dying, and fleeing the
30
village. He never spoke of his dreams until one evening when he woke crying and screaming.
His parents sat beside him, and he told them what he saw. He said the animals were taken and
the garden destroyed. He spoke of it as fact. His father said it was not possible, and said it was
just the young man’s delusions. This convinced the young man it was all a dream and he went
back to sleep. The next day, his mother asked him repeatedly about the dream and the details.
He shared only a little before thinking of his father, and then he stopped.
The dream continued to repeat, and then one morning, they woke and found the animals had all
fallen in the night from a disease. The young man’s mother wept and stayed with him as the
elders gathered to discuss it. His father came home and accused the young man of poisoning the
animals. He wept and pleaded with his father. His mother stood between them, and sternly told
her husband it was not that way, that he was their son and would never commit such an act.
Over the following weeks, the rains stopped and the creek began to dry up. Each day was spent
carrying water up the hillside to the crops. The young man’s back hurt, and he worked as hard as
he could. His father, in a deep state of depression and rage, blamed the young man for cursing
them all with his dreams. His father finally broke and beat his son severely. His mother, deeply
shocked at her husband’s behavior, grabbed her husband and screamed for help. Many from the
village came to intervene. The husband left them alone, and she slowly tended to her son’s
wounds. He was swollen and bleeding.
It took many days for him to recover, and in the meantime, the system of sharing, which had
been in place for generations, degenerated into fights and theft. A break down in the village
31
structure was what was foreseen in the young man’s visions.
The elders come to speak with him, and they ask him what he saw for them next. He said he
didn’t know, but that very night, he has dreams of the plants getting green and the animals
coming back. He also saw a new control placed upon the village from outside. He conveyed this
to the elders and over the next many weeks, the rains returned and new seeds were planted.
Several new animals were traded with neighboring villages. What he had seen was coming to
pass, although there was no acknowledgment by the elders of him bringing the right information.
The young man’s mother was very protective of him. Men arrived and insisted the people pay
homage to the Emperor of whom none of them were aware. They beat several men and took
several of the young women away. They would return every so often and take a certain amount
of grain. The elders again, came to the young man, and pleaded for good news. The young man
saw that it would only get worse, and that many would be enslaved by this ruler and for many
years and generations they would suffer. His mother wept.
His father eventually returns and treats the young man with respect. There were no words
spoken about his cruelty. People began to hear of the young man’s gift and came from many
corners and traveled far to see him. The news was often bad, and some cursed him and some
thanked him. The father began to trade on the young man’s gift. People came with animals and
food for them.
They lived comfortably for many months until word reached those in the ruling class, and the
32
young man was summoned to travel many days to meet with the high priests and oracles who
served the Emperor. He was interrogated and questioned about his gift for many days. They
insisted the young man reveal his source, or if he was in control or in contact with the Gods, to
bring to them great riches.
The Emperor summoned him, and he met with him in private. He told the ruler that he would
die very young, and that a female was not obedient to him. The ruler was enraged and locked the
young man away. It soon came to light of unfaithfulness by one of the ruler’s wives, and rumors
of this were rampant. The ruler again summoned him and was fearful of his death. The young
man, angry at this point, refused to speak, and he was condemned to be fed to the lions.
He descended the long hallway to the pit of lions. The crowd stood and cheered that he would
die. He looked around at the crowd of men, all of great stature. The door closed behind him,
and the lions were released from the other side. They charged at him with great ferocity. He
stood completely still, his eyes closed, and suddenly, the lions all stopped and just sat at his feet.
He looked up at the Emperor who watched. Then the ruler nodded and spears and arrows flew
down upon the young man, piercing his body from all sides, and several of the lions as well. The
crowd was silent.
** Spirit says that this young man was an incarnation of your soul. This was a Roman life, not
Egyptian, with no timeline given. Spirit says that the mother from this past life is a soul you will
come to meet in your current life **

THE END OF THE SNAKE PROTECTION IN ATLANTIS
There is a stunningly beautiful woman in a long white robe. She is 6 ½ feet tall, with long
blonde hair, fair skin, and deep blue/green eyes. She has a distant stare as if she is not all
there. She removes her robe and is nude, other than a metallic head piece which holds a large
jewel on the center of her forehead. Her body is lean and shapely, and her long hair covers her
breasts. This woman is 126 years of age, although she looks no older than 20.
She sits on a soft round cushion on top of a platform. The cushion has a silky texture and is a
dark purple color. She begins to take deep breaths to get herself into a deeper meditative state
than when she is just walking around. She was chosen at birth for this role by the high priests.
Around her are large square holes made of solid marble, and there are also some circular holes.
There is light that permeates the room from above, and the ceiling is made of a clear pink
crystal.
People enter the room and stand around the outer perimeter. There is a humming and buzzing
sound which no one else hears but her. Snakes begin emerging from the holes and they surround
her on the platform. The light in the room gets brighter. In her vision, she sees a golden goddess
who has many snakes extending off of her back. The goddess whispers to her, reassuring her,
and directing four species of snakes. The snakes stand upright around the woman. They sway
slightly to the vibrations emanating from her, and the sound of electrical buzzing that fills the
room. Other species of snakes emerge from the holes. They all take an upright posture, looking
toward the center of the room at the woman who is directed and working with the Snake
Goddess.
34
The snakes inch closer. She keeps her eyes closed and speaks some words out loud. Now
dozens of snakes are surrounding her, all swaying to the same rhythm, and more and more light
fills the room. The people around the perimeter are now on their knees, basking in the light
which emanates from the woman and the snakes.
They all sway to the energy now. The snakes touch her body from all sides. Some of the snakes
try to strike her with their fangs, but she does not move or flinch and the snakes respect her
strength. The snakes begin to curl around her legs, torso, chest, and neck. Light continues to fill
the room until nothing is seen. Then a loud sound is heard, similar to a gong, and the light leaves
the room in an instant. The snakes, which had turned to light, are absorbed by the woman and
the ceremony is over.
There is a young woman in the room who absorbed some of the snakes. Their eyes lock. There
are no smiles or reactions, only a knowing between the two of them. Men enter the room, and
the woman in the center stands. A robe is placed over her, and she walks tall from the room, all
eyes are upon her. The people in the room are honored by what they witnessed. More Men enter
the room and the young woman who absorbed some snakes is ushered away. They take this
woman to a chamber where the other woman is waiting; the other woman is again, nude. This
young woman is brought before her. Her clothes are removed, and she immediately goes to her
knees. The younger woman looks only at the floor. There are no words spoken between them.
The light of the snakes leaves her body and drifts toward the woman who conducted the
ceremony. The snakes come to life and wrap around her. This young woman becomes her
apprentice.
35
This woman who conducted the snake ceremonies had no children and was not fertile to have
any. She was given men by council, to be companions. She outlived four of these men, and
none were of formal marriage, just lovers to satisfy her needs. She was extremely passionate.
The men were incredible men, and perfect in body and compassion. She was animalistic and
unemotional. It was not her role or part of her being to be of emotions. Her life was dedicated to
the work of the snake, and of spreading protection and transformation to the masses. Each
person who left the room was blessed with the wisdom of the snake, and they passed this wisdom
on to others. This wisdom dwells in the DNA, and in the souls of those whom she worked with
at the direction of the Snake Goddess.
This woman died at the age of 234, although she looked no older than 30. Her body was placed
alone in a room with her apprentice. There were no snakes present. Then the woman’s body
turned to light and snakes began emerging from her being. Hundreds of snakes emerged, of all
sizes and species, and they filled the holes to capacity. The apprentice, overwhelmed by the
amount of snakes, worked to get into a deep meditation to tame the snakes. The snakes quickly
surrounded and devoured the dead body, then came after her. She was forced from the room, but
was made to re-enter at the insistence of the high priests. Her doubts led to the snakes devouring
her. This marked a new direction for Atlantis, one without the protection of the snake. The high
priests continued to pass on the wisdom until the destruction.
** Spirit says this woman was an incarnation of your soul. Spirit shows the failure of the
apprentice is not the failure of your soul, but an event which needed to be fulfilled, and the
36
failure is hers alone. Spirit shows she is a soul you encountered in other lives, and you were
also an apprentice to her in one lifetime. **
37
THE DESTRUCTION OF ATLANTIS, 9,979 B.C.
There is a woman and man standing beside each other. They each wear a long white robe and
are both holding crystals in their hands. The man appears younger than her. He has a deep
respect for her. The two are now walking, but not together. She walks just in front of him. She
has blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Her skin is pale. She wears a golden covering on the front
of her head with a jewel in it that sits just at her forehead. They walk along a stone pathway,
about a half mile long, with water on either side. The water shines and sparkles in the sun, as if
the light shines through the water and reflects off a mirror at the bottom. There are no words
spoken between the two. The man looks at her lovingly as they walk along the stone path.
At the end of the walkway, a crowd of others are awaiting their arrival. These are mostly women
in white robes, all stunningly beautiful. The majority of them are blonde, and a few have darker
hair. The air is tropical and humid, and there is a sound in the air, a buzzing or humming. There
are a few men who are there, working levers which control the flow of water. The approaching
woman is greeted by the group of women with stares and admiration. She is slightly taller than
the rest. She turns and looks squarely at the man. He does not look her in the eyes; he only
walks away from her.
She stands before the group of women. Little is said. Near where they stand is a large flat area,
and there are five stones that rise up and around it. The buzzing noise grows louder and louder
and the light from the water gets brighter and brighter. She sends them a calming vibe, and those
gathered can feel this vibration. They stand there absorbing it and making a link with her.
38
Coming from the sky is a large metallic round ship that lands on the stones. She stares directly
into the blinding light, which has surrounded them all and everything there. The light is still
shining brightly as men begin to walk down from the object. They stand in a line, most seem in
a daze or sleeping type of state. Some of them are carried off the object by others, and some are
not well. The woman stands waiting. The light continues to pour over everyone and
everything. Then the large object rises and quickly disappears.
The men from the ship are being helped down the walkway by the women. They are led to a
large hall where they all sit. The one woman stands before them and speaks. Her words are
short, and they elicit smiles from the large group. She continues to calm them. Over the next
many days, crystals are given to all of the men to wear, and each woman has chosen a man
whom she will guide to new work.
The city sits at an energy center and is a mix of stone and crystal. The crystal has a pulse to it,
and it makes the city itself appear to be pulsing. There is a waviness that is created with each
pulse from the crystal. This energy can be felt like a balanced electricity or tingling. There is no
visible construction or work being performed. The only visible work being done is in the
surrounding area of the city where there is lush green vegetation. Both men and women are
picking and moving this food. There are also large, whitish-clear bowls they carry, filled with
crystals. The crystals are their source of energy.
Ceremonies would be held with many people filling in the large hall/arena. Her energy alone
conveyed information to them. There were times when it was just her before the crowd, but
39
there were other times when she would be there with smaller people, with a darker appearance,
and covered with more hair. Several would sit on either side of her, and she would treat them as
she did everyone else. There were few animals to be seen; they only lived in the lush vegetation
outside the city. There were no birds or insects in the city as the pulsing noise would keep them
out.
After one of the ceremonies, this woman is escorted from the arena by the younger man. The
crowds did not stand until she departed. He escorts her down empty corridors. She stops at one
of the clear crystal doorways and then enters a round room. In the room there are various sized
crystals, some of which sang in high pitched noises and others could be heard as voices. In the
center of this room is a chair. She is escorted to the chair, and then the younger man steps just
outside the door and waits.
The room begins to glow and the crystals all speak and hum louder. The room fills with light,
and then images of other cities and people can be seen on the wall. There is also an image of
space, and there are large comets and asteroids. She does not react to any of these images.
There are also images of children and dying, and images of war and hunger. Spirit shows these
were images of all times at once. Then the images abruptly stop. She sits up and tears run from
her eyes. The young man enters, and she takes him by the hand. They continue down the
corridor, and then enter large room.
In this room, their four children are playfully chasing around balls of light. There are three girls
and one boy. These children are beautiful, all blonde like their mother. No words are spoken,
40
but messages are conveyed, and the children lay down to sleep. There is a balcony where the
woman looks out onto the city. It glimmers and shines, not just with lights, but the actual
structures glow. The moon sits in the sky, and she looks up at the endless stars. She turns and is
embraced by her man. They make love passionately, him being very submissive to her. Then
they sleep.
There are no elderly there visible in the city. There are children who come out and swim in the
large waterways. They wear no clothing. Many of the adults swim in the waterways as well. It
is healing water. None of the people appear to be older than their early 30’s.
A day comes when the humming and buzzing of the city becomes very intense. Large groups
gather on the stone walkway, leading to were the large metallic object had landed. They wait
and wait, but the ship never arrives. The woman who had been leading them sits in her home,
speaking to her children, with her man lovingly by their side. Then she stands and looks out the
balcony, up at the sky. There is a large flash of light and then darkness. The crystals shatter
around them, and they are all crushed by an asteroid.
** Spirit says this woman was a high priestess and was an incarnation of your soul. She was
321 years of age when she died. She had 17 children, some of whom survived to reproduce after
the destruction, which she knew would come. This past life took place in Atlantis, 9,979 B.C.
Spiritt says part of Atlantis is buried under the Atlantic Ocean in two separate parts. It slid
down into the ocean and is obscured because half of it is in a large crevasse which opened in the
41
Earth’s crust. Atlantis was destroyed, and most of the crystals shattered into dust. Spirit shows
she was well respected and was a very wise leader. **
42
THE LITTLE HAIRY MAN
A small man sits beside a fire. He is slightly hunched over. He wears only an animal fur that is
thrown over his back. Around him sit several other small men. They all have a great amount of
hair with legs that are not proportioned to their bodies. The fire reflects off of very large leaves
and very tall trees. This man’s face is sunk-in, and his head rounded. There is an elder of the
group who speaks. The air is cool, and his breath can be seen as he speaks. He whispers during
parts of what he says.
** Spirit says they are watched very closely, that there are other creatures watching them from
far way, studying them. More advanced creatures watch them from the stars. **
The small men have slices of raw meat that they eat as they sit by the fire. There are grunts, and
even the sound of giggles from nearby. There are small huts woven from straw and sticks from
the forest. The man stands and goes to one of the homes. His female partner is inside, along
with many other women and children. She sits peacefully, wearing only a fur over her
shoulders. He is rough with her, and she is welcoming to him. They engage in a sexual act,
which is quick and forceful. She clings to him as long as he will allow. It is not emotional or
loving. There is no reaction from the others in the hut. He leaves her there, returning to the men,
and he sits back at the fire. The other men know, but they say nothing or show little in response.
The next morning, they gather and begin to walk. The jungle trails are well cleared, and they
walk nearly all day before setting up a new place to sleep. It begins to rain, and all of them cling
together. They hardly sleep that night. The following day, they begin to walk again. They make
43
it through the jungle, and then arrive at an oceanic coastline. They see large glowing objects,
and they all get down on the beach, as low as possible. The women cling to the small children.
The objects come closer and look like large glowing balls of light. There is a sense of fear
among them. Then all of a sudden, the glowing balls fade, and they stand up and continue
walking again. The sun beats down upon them as they walk. They eat small remnants of fish
and dead birds, which are scattered along the shore.
After walking the coast for one day, they arrive at a large stone wall where they are allowed in
by other small creatures. There appears to be different levels of status. Some live in elaborate
stone, box-like structures, while others live in straw homes. There is no order or layout of a
town. These homes are scattered about, yet they seem to know their territory, and they all stay
together. This small man eats little while he is there, and spends his time listening to the elder
who often speaks for hours at a time. This man has six children. They would often make the
same voyage and return, and the women would come along so they could mate with the men.
There is no love between them; this life is of instinct and survival.
** Spirit shows this man dies of old age. He is 137 years old. Spirit does not give a time for this
place; however, it is older than Atlantis. Spirit says that this little creature is an incarnation of
your soul. These creatures were animalistic, but had some knowledge of fire, and some order in
separating males and females, and they followed a single leader. This is a species that no longer
exists in the universe. Spirit shows this is truly an ancient life on Earth. **
44
UNKNOWN EARTH LOCATIONS
HELPING A YOUNGER SOUL
It is the early evening, and a woman is slowly walking down a beach with a small dog. Her feet
sink softly into the cold damp sand. She wears a full dress, and is fully covered. She approaches
a man who sits looking out at the water. He is fully dressed as well, in a suit with a vest, and
black shoes. This man is extremely solemn and sad. She sits beside him, and the dog hops on to
his lap. She holds his hand as they watch the sun slowly set into the water. She grabs his upper
arm with her other hand, resting her head on his shoulder.
These two are husband and wife, and his mother had just passed away. The funeral was difficult
for him, as he was close to his mother. His wife always felt second to her, but now she missed
her terribly, especially seeing how sad her husband had become.
After some time, the man learns to accept the loss of his mother. He was an important man in
business, and his wife gave him support and encouragement that he lacked after his mother’s
passing. They had two children together, both boys, and they lived a life of wealth and
happiness. This woman lived to see the arrival of three grandchildren.
** Spirit says this woman was an incarnation of your soul, and this was two lives ago. This past
life was chosen by your soul to help in the lessons of this man. The soul of the man is not a soul
45
you have in your life today, nor was he part of your circle of souls. Spirit says one of the boys
from that life is a soul in your current life today. **
46
VICTIM OF POSSESSION
There is a young woman wearing a large hat and beautiful light-colored dress. This dress is large
and has many layers. She sits with perfect posture on a piece of cloth, on a bench outdoors. This
young woman is 17 years of age. She has dark hair, and pale skin. Her lips are full. She has a
younger sister, and her two older brothers are both married.
A loud bell rings. She stands and walks into a large cathedral with her parents. Her parents have
a close relationship with the priest, and they had inquired about their daughter many times. As
they walk into the church, the priest takes special notice of her. The service is long before they
finally stand to leave. As they walk past the priest, the young woman maneuvers so she does not
come face to face with him. She looks down and away as she passes by.
It is nighttime, and she is lying down to bed. Sleep has always been a terrible ordeal for her.
She was always waking up, screaming with nightmares. Her unusual behavior at night is what
prompted her parents to approach the priest. The priest had spent time alone with her and was
convinced she was the victim of possession. He performed a ritual to expel the demon. Since
then, she was no longer troubled by dreams, yet she still remained horribly frightened of the
priest. Before falling asleep, she would perform her own ritual and visualization to horde away
the priest, and she did this every night.
The next day, she doesn’t wake until late. When she opens her eyes, she sees the priest next to
her bed, and she screams. He speaks several prayers and verses to her in another language, and
she cries. When he leaves the room, her mother enters, and she tells her daughter what happened
47
in the night, and why they called for the priest.
She tells her that she woke the whole house. They heard her speaking loudly in a strange voice,
and they rushed into her room to find her sitting straight up and staring ahead at nobody. Her
mother tells her she ran for paper and wrote down every word. She tells her this loud dialog
went on for a long time, which is why they let her sleep so late in the day, and then went for the
priest to help rid her of the demon. The young woman demanded to know what was written, but
her mother refused.
Many weeks and months passed without incident. Then one day, when her mother was with her
sister on a walk, the young woman found a stack of papers and upon them was written all sorts of
information which made no sense. As she looked through the papers, there were even questions
with answers. She realized this was coming from her. The more she read the clearer she could
hear the voice in her head.
From then forward she could hear this voice at all time, even when others spoke. She developed
headaches and spoke back to the voice. Her parents kept her locked up and out of view. When
she had quiet from the voice, she longed to meet a young man and marry the same as all her
friends.
Over the months, she slowly learned to quiet the voice and not respond, and her parents started
letting her out of the house again. She was courted by a man who had lost his wife. He was
several years older than her. She didn’t know what it was, but she felt a strong pull to him. They
48
married and were very passionate about each other. She was soon pregnant and gave birth to a
boy.
She settled into motherhood, and as she was cleaning the home one day, she again, stumbled
upon a stack of papers. In them were lots of writings, very sloppy. They were in her husband’s
handwriting, as if he were writing very fast. She confronted her husband, and he admitted that
her parents informed him of what she did at night. He accepted it and felt there was nothing to
do but write it all down. She asked him about the questions. He said he knew they would have a
baby boy because she told him in the night when she spoke in the other voice.
This continued throughout her life, and on rare occasions, when someone was in dire need, her
husband would ask her in the night. Word spread and there were many requests, but she refused
to embrace that side of her. She remembered how that voice had imprisoned her in the home of
her parents.
This woman had six children, four boys and two girls. One of the girls had the same gift. She
allowed it to grow, and this daughter provided insight for hundreds of people throughout her
life. This woman died at the age of 67, just four years after her husband.
** Spirit says this woman was an incarnation of your soul, and this was four lives ago. **
