Being courageous
Following on from yesterday’s blog, when I was questioned as to why I don’t like being in the public arena, I decided to be brave. A post came up on my Facebook feed about a child, who his parents believe, is the reincarnation of Princess Diana. They gave examples of things he had said to back up their claim. Of course, I don’t need any convincing in this arena; I know how readily children come up with details of their former lives. Daniel could remember being a pilot in the Second World War and being shot down, for example. That was how he had died.
It was interesting reading the comments, with a mix of about 50 per cent each believing and non-believing amongst them. One of the questions from yesterday’s workshop was how does our work differ from the mainstream, what is our point of difference? When I was writing my first book, I researched all this. My point of difference is that I have seen so many of my former lives and I can tie them in to my current life. There are many books written by psychologists, for example, who have many accounts of various client’s past lives, but not books of one person with multiple lives. That is my point of difference. And in my books, I show how incidents repeat through multiple lifetimes until we heal them. We are the latest incarnation of those who have been before us, that is why healing our issues is so important.
I decided to comment on this post along with the other 1500 people who had already done so. That was a brave step for me. Plus, I had already seen a good share of disbelievers’ comments and knew that thought could be directed at me. In my post, I mentioned I had uncovered 31 of my former lives and had written two books on the topic, for anyone who was interested in reading further. It took me a while to muster up the courage, then I did it. I woke this morning to find a further 500 people had added their comments, but not one like on my one. Some of the others, stating that people do believe in reincarnation, have a hundred or so likes, but on my post, nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Are people not seeing my comment or does it look like blatant adverstising? I was able to check and see that a person from Kent in England had checked out my website, but that was all. Not one bit of interaction on my post. I thought, adding my two cents worth, would help add credibility to this person’s claim about their son’s reincarnation. And judging by the comments, there seemed to be a lot of interest in the topic. Perhaps I misinterpreted it and the only interest was the fact it was Princess Di. But I guess, at least people weren’t posting negatively on my piece, which has been part of my fear and why I hold back.
I have often viewed U Tube clips as well, where people have been invited to say what they think. But I have been too shy to add my views. Perhaps I need to start now. I know there would be a lot of people interested in what I have to say, it is just a matter of finding them!
