Quiver full of arrows
I found myself awake again in the early hours of the morning, a few days ago. After trying to get back to sleep and not being able to do so, I decided to put on a meditation, often a sure way to drift off. I chose one that I have been using frequently of late, of removing trapped trauma from the body. I didn’t feel that I had anything bubbling away under the surface, but knew this meditation had often produced results in the past and perhaps there were still things that needed removing from my body.
I had been practicing my speech for the upcoming Joyfest (which has since been cancelled due to poor ticket sales) each morning as I walked down the beach – my topic – how our pasts influence our present and the importance of self-healing. I talked about my Indian life in this speech and showed how issues in that life became issues in my current life, so perhaps that was why I was shown a quiver full of arrows as I was carrying out this meditation.
In my time at one particular job, I worked with numerous people who had all shared the Indian life with me. In that life, I was falsely blamed for killing a large number of settlers by another Indian, jealous of my position within the tribe. In retribution for the killings (I had killed two, but not the large number I was blamed for) our entire tribe was slaughtered. As I wasn’t present at the time, a bounty was placed on my head, and I was killed soon after as I rode through a pass. Within this particular job, the traitor Indian, who had falsely blamed me, was one of my colleagues, as was the man who had been dividing up the land to be sold, the head of the cavalry and the head of the troops who carried out the massacre. My son from that life was also one of my workmates. Not surprisingly, the traitor Indian was still behaving in a similar way to the way he had behaved in the Indian life and that was of falsely accusing people of things they hadn’t been responsible for. I had done my work around this obnoxious person years ago and forgiven him for all the hurt he had caused me from that Indian life.
With the image of the quiver given to me, I knew the things I would be removing would be related to this Indian life and sure enough they were. As I followed the meditation’s words, various hurts came to mind from my time within that job, with each one surfacing as an arrow. I placed these in the quiver. Each of the people who had shared that life with me had each caused me a hurt or two and these were the ones being removed. Once completed, the quiver full of the arrows was blasted from my body and into oblivion.
As I was going to point out in my speech, generally, if the encounters in the past were positive, they would be positive again and if negative, then likely to be negative again. We choose to incarnate together to forgive and heal those issues and people that we weren’t able to heal in the pasts so generally we repeat many of the same things so that the forgiveness and healing can take place. No one actually needs past life knowledge. If we heal things that are going on in our current life, we are automatically healing things from the past. I had already forgiven these people, but I hadn’t removed the hurts they had caused me. I was pleased I had decided to put that meditation on after all. The purer we can make our bodies, the better.
