Amen, sister, sing it loud and sing it clear! Now you can answer anything on this community.

Haha, I will take that as a compliment.
I'm not sure if I can answer "anything" but I do read soul records (called Akashic Records)>

Hi Akemigaine,

You spell it out with great clarity. Yes we can all chose how we want to get to our final destination and freewill is indeed a precious gift of God and so we should use each moment in gratitude to God.

How interesting that you read the Akashic record. It is my understanding that the Akashic record has our karma from previous lives in it. When we know who we are, we instantly free ourselves of all karmic consequences from the past, but until we are free our freewill is bound up in karma.

Blessings, Yaani

I like this Akemi. My perception is very similar. The only thing I'd like to add is where you say 'This is where we grow through trials and errors' , my feeling is that has been a way of growth and that in this new Aquarian age we are opening more and more to learning with joy, grace and ease.

Hi Yaani,

Thank you for your kind words.
Yes, I do Akashic Record Reading. If you are interested in how it works, you might enjoy my another article on Oprah, "2 Approaches to Heal Your Traumas from Past Lives"

Janni,

You are totally right. We can learn through both positive and negative learning experiences. Learning through trial and error, the tough way -- I also call it "learning by contrast" because we learn by going through the opposite of what we want to learn -- was the old way, and many of us are waking up to know we can learn through positive learning experiences.

I had a feeling when I wrote that part, but I went ahead because many people are still in the old way of learning. I think the shift from the old way of learning to the new delightful way of learning is individual. The Earth's shift is helping us all, but each of us still need to make that shift.

My focus has been on enlightenment toward healing the planet.

The greatest service we can render to the planet is to wake up to the truth of who we are. And in that moment of enlightenment our Akashic slate is wiped clean and all karma is deleted. So this would be the approach I would recommend. No time is required, where as digging into past lives, could be an endless task. There are so many traumas just in this life, imagine if we took the traumas of say 20 lives, we could spend a whole life time healing our traumas. Or we can simply say, past is past and move on.

Blessings,
Yaani

Hi Akemi,

I've been putting some tips for 'Regaining the playfulness of the inner child ' on the Laughter for Life thread http://www.oprah.com/community/thread/103293

Enjoy

Thanx Anje, Nice to see you

Hi Anje,

Thanks for stopping by. Nice to see you.

Hi Yaani,

I agree. I certainly don't want to be spending the rest of my life digging and healing my past or past lives.
So if someone can simply stand up and be enlightened, I'm happy for them.
The catch is some people ignore their traumas and just believe they are enlightened. This doesn't work of course.

By the way, healing doesn't need to take enormous hours. It's instant, as you say. All it takes is to understand how the past is affecting us and intend to release them. And there are usually just handful of root causes, even though their effects may look like countless problems.
Short of just jumping up to enlightenment, I'd rather take care of my root issues rather than ignoring them.

Blessings,
Akemi

Hi Janni,

I noticed I am following up on you.
Our inner child indeed knows what is best for us. I think the best advice there is to any question is "listen to your inner guide"

Love & Light,
Akemi

I am not sure , what you believe in as far as I guess a Faith or Religion .

But yes , I feel it is true , we make Choices and slow down , and even Stop the Plan of God for our life .

I am of the Christian faith , since I have seen Jesus in a Vision once . It's impossible not to believe When you have seen the reality with your eyes .

As I study , and the Holy Spirit shows me things , you learn how Choices affects your life .

Adam and Eve , made a Choice and it not only Changed their life , but everyone's life .

So our Choices , not only affect us , but people thousands of years into the future .

Every Word and deed we do , affects people .

If I look at my own life , I get depressed . I can see when I sinned , how God was removed from my life , and all the people around me , got cursed as well .

Life is very much like the Christmas Story of a Wonderful Life . We have a far Greater effect than what we really know .

We are like Farmers , in that we are Sowing in the land . One Tree planted today , can give seeds for thousands of years .

We are all Sowing something , and Changing people life's forever , by what we sow .

Hi david,

It's true that whatever you say or do affects the whole. Some people call it the butterfly effect -- a butterfly making air waves in Beijing can affect someone in NYC. And yes, now just now, but in all expanses of time. Because we are all interconnected and part of the whole.

I feel for you because I sense pain in your tone. Which is perplexing for me in a sense. You have seen the glory of God, you know you are connected to God. I live a quiet bliss with these experiences. God is love, and I know this not by some dogma but by direct understanding.

Blessings,
Akemi
