Lesson 16 by Rev. LEEANN VANDERLOOVEN

LESSON# 16

 

In doing research on Past Life Regression there are several benefits that can help you on your path in this life time. Some of those benefits are:

 

a.            Learning the answers to the big questions: Why are we here? What's it all for? What is the meaning of life? Past life regression attempts to help you answer these questions by walking your through it step by step.

b.            Connect with your soul mate: We generally travel with the same soul groups throughout various incarnations.  People we meet who we feel like we have know forever. Past life regressions can take you back to the connections with these souls.

c.            Uncover amazing things you didn't even know you knew: Memories of jobs, skills, you had in past lives' you can recall and learn how to do them in this life time.

d.            See dead people: past life regressions take you into the past, people that you interacted with in your different life times.

e.            It helps you to be able to resolve some of the unexplained habits and quirks in this lifetime.

f.            Regression therapy is a short term therapy and tends to be more concentrated than other therapies.

g.            It releases crippling emotional, mental and physical blockages.

h.            The best part is Regression therapy is holistic. No drugs needed.

 

As in all things there are also bad or negative aspects of regression therapy in my research I not found as many negatives as I did positives.  A few include:

a.            When clients are taken back to another life time, sometimes a new personality may appear that does not want to leave.

b.            An inexperienced therapist my easily put suggestions into a clients head that may really confuse or upset the client.

c.            Some clients may feel they are going crazy or making things up, which can lead to fear.

 

I feel the main part is to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with, has a very good reputation. Remember you can stop the session yourself at any time. The client is in complete control.

 

Master of Astral Projection homework by Judith Wolf

Master of Astral Projection
Rev. Judith Wolf Ph.D.
 
My name is Judy Wolf. I am an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church and a Reiki Master. Professionally I am founder and President/CEO of Young Arts Arizona Ltd, a non-profit which exhibits the artwork of children at risk.
 
I have been interested in the spiritual for 30 years beginning in 1980 when I began studying Reiki. Since then I have read much, practiced yoga and waited for spiritual experiences to present themselves. I found out about the Seminary at ULC about 7 years ago and have been talking courses for about 3 or 4 years, working toward a Doctorate of Ministry.
 
Although I have been dabbling with astral projection for many years I have never experienced it. I once met someone who promised to take me with him. He said later that he had picked me up and that we had had a grand trip. I remember none of it. Interestingly after the supposed trip he totally avoided me. I had to hunt him down to find out what happened. He only said that we did go on a trip together. I have been curious about it ever since.
 
Although I relish the idea of astral projection, I am fearful because I fear I will not want to return. This has probably been what has stood in my way all along. However, I am open to whatever this course can offer whether it be trips or more clarity of self.

Monnie's responses to Lesson 12

The lesson/assignment for this week was to spend at least 2 fifteen minutes sessions repeating "God is but Love and therefore so am I."  We were also to remember and repeat this whenever we felt our self-esteem was flagging.

I found this to be a very difficult homework assignment. I do not doubt that my self-esteem needs to straighten up.  By this I mean there are days when I do not feel good about myself.  There are other days when it seems I have an inflated sense of self-worth.  Both of these conditions are undoubtedly the work of the ego.  I believe when we are secure in who we are there is no need for self-deprecation or for self-inflation.  When we are secure in "remembering" who we are there is just truth and connectedness.  There is no less than or better than there is only "I AM".  So my ego and I wrestled. Also I do not necessarily believe the same way that our instructor believes.  I do not think "the Course In Miracles" has a corner on the market to God or the Truth.  I see the Course as interesting and as one way to remembering who I AM, however, I do not see it as the only way nor do I embrace it as my way. I found the wording of the mantra we were to say difficult for me.  I changed it a little and that made it easier for me to "settle into the mantra."  After changing the wording to "God is Love therefore I am." I was able to more easily do the assignment and after several days I finally found saying the mantra comforting and helpful. It is likely I will continue to say this mantra when I am feeling off center.

Final essay, The Miracle of Prayer

The Miracle of Prayer

Final Essay

     Rev. Loretta Siani presented a super excellent course on The Miracle of Prayer.  All areas of prayer were covered, offering me hope and reflections on the possibilities of prayer .  The prayers given in each lesson were inspirational and in accordance with The Course In Miracles teachings.  The final lesson that Rev. Siani wrote was outstanding, giving insights to what she has experienced thru her praying and opening up to God's will.  Rev. Siani showed how to do God's work and choosing the will of God over our ego's desires.

     If I had to pick a favorite lesson, which is difficult since I total enjoyed them all, the lesson on the Holy Spirit stands out.  The mystery of the Holy Spirit and how this Spirit fits into the Trinity was enlightening,  symbolizing the purification of our hearts and putting a burning desire to work for God's will on this earth.  The Holy Spirit gives us inspiration and the inner peace we seek within the illusion of ourselves.  I have always been a 'fan' of the Holy Spirit and with the knowledge offered I see why this recognition is helpful in our daily lives.

     This has been a life changing class for me.  I refer and reflect back to each lesson frequently, dealing with the Healing of Relationships, Healing Loss, Healing Fears, etc., all good references for helping others within a ministry.  I so highly recommend this class, The Miracle of Prayer, to everyone.  Searching for the One Truth can only be found through prayer and trust in The ALL.  As our paths cross in this world we all look for our own truths, now we can look at the Truth through our illusions of what we think is true.

Thank you, Rev. Loretta Siani, you are the light.
