Extraordinary Evidence Of Reincarnation And Past Lives
Have you ever felt an irresistible desire to visit a certain foreign country? Are you obsessed with a certain culture or have you always been fascinated by a certain period of history? Do you collect certain objects or paraphernalia that represent some kind of ancient spiritual tradition or esoteric practice?
Our inexplicable interests and unusual hobbies often reveal much about our past lives.
Reincarnation is a topic that has captured the imagination of people since ancient times as a thought-provoking perspective on life, death, and the soul’s journey through many incarnations. Physical life is not a singular experience, but a cycle of rebirth, learning, and evolution.
The concept of reincarnation is the belief that our soul, or non-physical essence, is reborn into a new life after we die.
Central to Indian religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, this spiritual concept is also found in certain streams of Judaism, among indigenous peoples of the Americas and Australian Aborigines, and in neo-pagan religions such as Wicca.
Various esoteric and mystical religious traditions, such as the Druze, Rosicrucians, Theosophy, and Anthroposophy, also incorporate ideas of reincarnation and the evolution of the soul.
In Kabbalah, the mystical branch of Judaism, reincarnation is also an important belief, referred to as gilgul neshamot, or the “cycle of souls.” Kabbalists teach that souls reincarnate to achieve spiritual redemption or tikkun, allowing individuals to correct mistakes from previous lives and fulfill their unique spiritual missions.
Spirit Signs From The Other Side
As a psychic medium, I am often asked certain questions about the afterlife and the spirit world.
Is there life after this life? Where do souls go when they die? How do we know if our deceased loved ones are near? How can you tell if they are okay on the other side?
The first thing I usually explain is the nature of soul energy, the nature of consciousness and the afterlife.
Everything is energy. We are pure energy, and energy cannot be destroyed; it only changes form. Therefore, death as we know it does not exist.
Our soul energy is the essence of who we are, a form of pure, indestructible energy that transcends the physical body.
When we no longer need our physical body, our energy simply takes on a new form. Some people call this heaven or the afterlife, but it’s basically energy in a different state at a higher level of consciousness.
Our consciousness does not end with physical death, but transcends it, while our soul retains awareness, memory, and connection to other souls. The soul’s journey does not end; it evolves and remains connected to all that it has touched in this life.
Is there a “hell” or “purgatory” or a place of “eternal damnation”? In my experience, no spirit has ever told me that they are now in a “bad” place, or that they are suffering or being punished in any way.
The Mysterious Mischief Of Poltergeist Phenomena
I have always been a sucker for scary ghost stories. In fact, the scarier, the better! Since my teenage years, I have sought out sensational tales of the supernatural for the sheer thrill of it.
One particular story, that of “Pete the Poltergeist,” still stands out in my mind.
Britain was going through a recession in the 1980s, but despite the economic downturn, two self-employed men in Cardiff managed to run a successful lawnmower repair business called Mower Services out of one of their homes.
One day, one of the men thought he heard someone throwing stones at the door of the workshop, but when he went outside, he was surprised to find that no one was there. The rocks seemed to come from nowhere!
Later, the men noticed that their keys were hidden, and there was a very strange smell in a certain part of the workshop that suddenly became extremely cold. Later, they began to even find money and witnessed objects being thrown across the workshop floor – but they did not know what or by whom!
As a result of this unexplained activity, they decided to close the shop one night and conduct their own séance-style experiment. They placed their hands on a table, fingers touching, and asked the presence to throw a stone at them – which it did! Then one of the men asked for a pen and the entity threw one at them as well!
Who or what did this? The two men simply concluded that they had a ghost in their workshop that had become “like a member of the family” and decided to nickname it “Pete the Poltergeist.”

Today’s Waxing Crescent Moon in Sagittarius ignites a spirit of adventure and optimism, encouraging us to expand our horizons. With Venus quintile Pluto, deep emotional connections may also emerge, urging us to explore the transformative power of love and intimacy.
Meanwhile, Mercury’s bi-quintile with Saturn invites disciplined thinking, making this a perfect day to set intentions and strategize your goals. As the week begins, embrace this mix of exploration and depth, and use your newfound insights to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Jupiter goes retrograde on Wednesday, inviting us to turn inward and reflect on our beliefs, aspirations, and the larger themes of growth in our lives. This retrograde prompts a reevaluation of our goals and encourages us to assess what truly brings us joy and fulfillment.
As the planet of expansion slows down, we may find ourselves revisiting past opportunities or unresolved issues that need our attention. It’s a time to embrace introspection, allowing us to realign our paths and clarify our intentions, ensuring that the pursuits we engage in are truly aligned with our core values.
During this retrograde phase, it’s common to experience a shift in perspective. Where Jupiter typically encourages bold action and expansive thinking, its retrograde energy can lead to moments of doubt or hesitation. However, these challenges can be invaluable; they provide an opportunity to deepen our understanding and cultivate wisdom. By navigating this introspective journey with patience, we can emerge from retrograde more enlightened, equipped with fresh insights that will help us pursue our goals with renewed purpose and clarity once Jupiter resumes its forward motion.
The Soul Secrets Of Your Known Name Number
Numerology, the ancient mystical study of numbers and its influence on our daily existence, goes far beyond calculating the meaning of your birth date.
While many people are familiar with the concept of the life path number, which is derived from one’s birth date, few realize that their known name number also holds profound insights into their character, destiny, and spiritual journey.
Also known as the expression number, the calculation of this number is a core component of numerology used by practitioners to explore one’s personality, potential, and life path. Calculating this number can be eye-opening and transformative.
Metaphysically, names are not arbitrary; they are energetic vibrations that carry specific meanings and influences.
Your known name is the name you go by in everyday life, whether it is the name your parents gave you at birth or a nickname that has stuck with you over time.
The name you identify with carries an energetic signature that reveals much about your personality, your purpose, and the unique challenges or gifts you may encounter in this lifetime.
In the practice of numerology, the letters in your name are assigned numerical values based on a system known as the Pythagorean Number Table, where each letter corresponds to a number from 1 to 9. By adding up the numbers associated with the letters in your known name, you can uncover several key numbers that offer insight into your personality, strengths, and life purpose.
The Ancient Art Of Facial Reading
Physiognomy is an ancient belief system that the face reveals the hidden truths of the mind, body, and spirit. In many cultures, the face is seen as a reflection of the soul or inner self.
This belief that a person’s physical characteristics, such as the shape of their face, eyes, or nose, can reveal something about their inner nature has roots in various ancient cultures and has been practiced for thousands of years. In some esoteric traditions, facial characteristics are believed to also reveal past life influences and karmic imprints.
The face is more than just a reflection of our emotions; it is a map of our physical health, life experiences, and even our spiritual state. By observing our facial features and learning to interpret their subtle messages, we can gain valuable insights into our health and well-being.
One of the earliest and most detailed systems of face reading comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Chinese face reading, or Mian Xiang, dates back more than 3,000 years. Practitioners view the human face as a map of a person’s life, health, and destiny. They divide the face into different areas, each corresponding to different internal organs and emotional states. Facial analysis is used to diagnose imbalances in the body and mind.
Physiognomy was also practiced in ancient Greece. The philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) wrote about it, arguing that certain facial features could indicate personality traits and that there was a connection between a person’s appearance and their character. Greek scholars believed that external features, such as facial structure, could provide insight into a person’s moral and psychological makeup.
Astrology Forecast September 30 – October 6, 2024
The week begins today with a mix of intense and motivating energies as the Moon in Virgo opposes Saturn in Pisces. This aspect can make us feel a bit constrained or burdened by responsibility, creating an urge to retreat into overthinking or self-criticism.
Fortunately, the Moon’s sextile to Mars in Cancer will provide a balancing boost of emotional drive and determination. You’ll find the energy to tackle your tasks, especially those related to home, health and nurturing. It’s an excellent time to focus on practical matters and get things done, even if you feel some inner resistance or self-doubt.
The Moon’s sesquiquadrate with Pluto however may add an undercurrent of intensity that brings deep-seated emotions to the surface. You may feel a bit edgy or sensitive, but this energy can be channeled into transformative work. Use this energy influence to identify and release any emotional patterns that may be holding you back.
As the Moon enters Libra on Tuesday, the energy shifts from Virgo’s meticulous, detail-oriented focus to Libra’s desire for balance, harmony, and connection. After a somewhat intense and self-critical start to the week, this shift brings a refreshing breath of calm. You may feel a stronger pull toward social interactions, partnership and finding balance in your life. This influence is ideal for seeking compromise, engaging in creative pursuits, or simply enjoying a more peaceful atmosphere.
Wednesday’s annual solar eclipse during a Libra New Moon brings an opportunity to reset our relationships and seek harmony in areas of life that may feel out of sync. Libra’s energy emphasizes diplomacy, fairness, and the pursuit of inner peace. You may feel a strong urge to confront imbalances, whether in personal relationships, work, or your own sense of self.
