Formed ten years ago, DEATHSTENCH released three albums and many eps.. The "Massed in Black Shadow" album was a great obscure and dangerous one..The crown of their sacrifice was their collaboration with Bon Masters Phurpa. John Paul Whetzel and Darea Plantin spells behind this interview.

“Blood Moon Divination” was your latest release. It was released in a limited amount of copies and only in Tape format. Why this choice?

We have always preferred analog releases. We view physical copies as something that should be appreciated.. Let's face it, it's the 21st century, and people do most of their listening through some sort of streaming service. If they like it, they most likely pirate it. We understand this; Our physical releases are intentionally designed for coveting.

We put a great deal of energy into each release. In our past special editions, we have included ritual accouterments that correspond with each album, such as shards of human bone and incense we made specifically for the intent to conjure with the dead.

You have released three albums. Please tell us the concept behind each one and the process of the recordings…Each release turns out to more noisy and dark forms..

To be precise it's four albums, and numerous collaborations and splits. Our releases are not in any sort of chronological order, from conception to the final product takes its own time dependant upon the haste of that particular record label. We record basically the same for each album, building upon a structured theme. Our music is built on layers of sounds from instruments, traditional and otherwise, that we record with either handheld devices or microphones connected to an audio interface which we use to record our percussion and amps.

Each track on "Blood Moon Divination" is an audial ritual recorded and released during each specific Blood Moon in the tetrad cycle of blood moon eclipses of 2014-2015. Through that span of time, these celestial vibrations were available as they were being released on several streaming platforms, including Black Metal and Brews and Repartiseraren. A tetrad of lunar eclipses is extremely uncommon. This was only the eighth of such cycles in over two thousand years. We compiled them together for a physical album that we chose to release during the first exclusive total solar eclipse the United States had seen in over two hundred years. Eclipses, both solar and lunar, are considered to be very inauspicious events throughout the world. As an omen of war, the Talmud regards "If the face of the moon is as red as blood it is a sign that the sword is coming to the world."

"N.O.X." is a transcendent four track journey that starts out violently with the lo-fi black metal track OXEX DAZIS SIATRIS, Enochian for "Vomiting The Head of Scorpions" and slowly transforms itself into a less chaotic discord that concludes with the meditative piece "Mysterivm Tremendvm". N.O.X. or "The Night of Pan", is a mystical state that represents the stage of ego-death in the process of spiritual attainment. The Greek word Pan also translates as All, as he is a symbol of the Universal, a personification of Nature; both Pangenetor, "all-begetter," and Panphage, "all-devourer". Pan is both the giver and the taker of life, and his Night is that time of symbolic death where the adept experiences unification with the All through the ecstatic destruction of the ego-self. In a more general sense, it is the state where one transcends all limitations and experiences oneness with the universe.

"Nekro Blood Ritual", our second album, was designed specifically for its cassette release and is broken into two sections: Conjuration Rites and Burial Evocation. This album focuses on conjuring the dead and the desecration of human remains. This is by far our most atmospheric album; most of the tracks are rely heavily on field recordings and stygian synthesizers to evoke the abject darkness. These songs are reminiscent to the "Incantations in Dead Tongues" era of our work. There are only two conventional (for use of a better term) songs on this album, "Nekrobloodritual" and "Desecrating The Host" the latter being a harsh black funeral doom dirge for the departed.

In our debut album, "Massed in Black Shadow" we utilize all of our influences through the years. Incorporating elements of death industrial, dark ambient, doom, and black metal, and hideously transforming and conjoining them into a writhing mass of absolute filth, a sound truly all our own. The final track, titled “Bastards of the Black Flame” can be considered a motto to us, as it is exactly who we are. The byproducts of an unholy union between some of the most violent forms of music, in both sound and ideologies.

DEATHSTENCH collaborated with Phurpa. How did this Union take form? Are you interested in the theory of empiricism in Bon Religion?

In 2012 Alexei Tegin had discovered our music from our debut album and contacted us. Both Phurpa and ourselves operate with the same meditative qualities regarding our music. Although our sound derives from different spectrums, they coalesce quite vividly. "Evoking Shadows of Death" fuses our ultrasonic vibrations and harsh atmospheres with the harmonious chants and deep, droning reverberations of their tantric voice. These two tracks are designed to help the chod practitioner tap the power of fear. This transformation does not fall spontaneously, as grace, upon the listener: the practitioner must engage in the process. One must take steps to transmute through the aural plane and, through a process in which they must actively participate, requiring utmost concentration and mental stamina. This mystical experience is achieved, not bestowed.

Empirical reasoning has no place in esoteric practices and the occult. These objects are neither phenomena (empiricism) nor human constructs imposed upon the phenomena (idealism), but real structures which endure and operate independently of our knowledge, our experience and the conditions which allow us access to them. Some things cannot be reduced down to empirical measurements.

Thanatology and satanism are your basic influences. How do you define satanism and how death in your personal path?

Deathlore has always intrigued the both of us. There is absolutely nothing more final than Death. Every single one of us will die, as Death does not discriminate. Dying, death and how human beings respond to the inevitability of their mortality and cope with the reality of loss can be viewed from a wide range of perspectives. Our intent has never been to elaborate on our practices or rituals to any audience. Even the altars we allow you to see are set up specifically for public viewing. While they are still symbolic of what we would normally produce for our own rituals, the intent isn't there. It's merely superficial. Our personal altars and rituals will always remain clandestine, as all witchcraft should be.

“Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.” ― Lao Tzu

I would like to hear your thoughts and if you are into the systems of O.N.A & Temple of the Black Light in theory and praxis as Traditional satanic approach you unveil through your works . Satanism is such an elaborate construct; Atheistic, LaVeyan, theistic, there are so many paths. Satan has always been symbolic with the quest for Knowledge, of opposition to arbitrary authority, forever defending personal sovereignty even in the face of insurmountable odds. Our path cannot be defined by one simple ideology.

We have absolutely no affiliation with these groups.

Does DEATHSTENCH ever perform live?

We are very selective in our live performances. The last show was in Portland, Oregon way back in 2015 when we opened up for MGLA, Weregoat, and Sempiternal Dusk. Alan Dubin (of Gnaw, Khanate) and Billy Anderson, whom we have long collaborated with, did a sort of dueling vocals approach to our fifteen-minute audial assault on an beyond-capacity crowd. This show was recorded by Mateo from Greysun Records who also released it on his label in 2018.

Necromancy is an Old Art Like Time.Ancient Greece had deep roots also in this Subject. Are you familiar with the Ancient Greek Mysteries?

Yes, we are familiar with some of the Chthonic mysteries highlighting mortality and the briefness of life, and the spirits of the blessed dead. Though, like most true paths of esoteric knowledge, not much is truly known about the intricacies of these rituals, having been sworn to secrecy and then lost to the Sands of Time. It has been suggested that communicants would drink Kykeon infused with the psychotropic fungus ergot which helped the initiate to reach a fuller understanding of their purpose in life and to shed their fear of death and this, then, heightened the experience and helped transform the initiate. The same can be said of the Huichol in Mexico, who eat peyote at the completion of long arduous pilgrimages in order that they may experience in the journey of the soul of the dead to the underworld. Death worship and eschatology are celebrated by all cultures throughout time, most with the use of hallucinogens.

I would like to hear your thoughts on these words: “This being true for the ordinary Universe, that all sense-impressions are dependent on changes in the brain we must include illusions, which are after all sense-impressions as much as “realities” are, in the class of “phenomena dependent on brain-changes.”  ― S.L. MacGregor Mathers, Goetia the Lesser Key of Solomon the King: Lemegeton, Book 1 Clavicula Salomonis Regis

In contemporary education, the emphasis has been on the psychomotor and the cognitive, namely reading, writing, and arithmetic, at the expense of the affective, namely, the emotions, the sensual, the intuitive, and the imaginative. Priority has been assigned to the verbal-intellectual skills. Anything else tends to be shelved or boxed and put away as ephemeral, esoteric, or mystical, each of these terms being used in a pejorative sense.

Consider for a moment the human sensory system. To the scientific mind, the senses are perceived to act as a kind of data-reduction system. The problem with this concept of the senses is that we do not respond to all that is potential sensory input. Perception is quite a selective process, attending to only a small fraction of so-called reality.

To some extent, scientist or artist, everything we perceive is "illusory," since to perceive anything at all we must use our imaginative capacity for fantasy.

What can we expect from DEATHSTENCH in the near future?

We have a few albums waiting in the shadows including collaborations with Sektor 304 and LINEKRAFT, as well as another full-length album incorporating both Billy Anderson and Alan Dubin. Time is relative, and there are no promises as to when any of these releases will see the light of day.

The Evolution of Vasu/Mohan

'Ello, again. This is long, so ye be warned. Yeah, so usually I only do this when silently reading, zealously following, and throwing mental gushing fests over an actor's honest-to-God awesome acting isn't enough to feed my utter obsession. Basically, I like to think that I have a life outside imagining [fictional] male characters galloping in my direction, on white horses, hair blowing in the breeze, and all that jazz. But darn Kunal's thick curls, soulful eyes, crooked smile, charm, and seriously breathtaking performances. I surrender. I'm smitten. The only actor who has ever managed to win me over with his first emotional scene is Mishal Raheja and I always thought that enigmas like him happened just once in a lifetime. But holy maccaroni, I've experienced it twice in mine. I'm in love with Mohan Bhatnagar. It happened overnight. I've been watching the episodes back to back, season one and two, and then last night it hit me in the head like a giant brick: Mohan is awesome. I love him. He is the love of my life and the father of my 10 imaginary children. Go figure. Being me, I decided to do an analysis, in my head. Then I realised how overwhelming that can be because, you know, too much stuff crammed in there already and not enough brain storage for more. Don't judge. We're all limited species. Like Plath once said: "Is there no way out of the mind?" No, not really. But I can relieve my thoughts, at the very least. I remembered IF and thought "they made that forum for crazy people like me to obsess together, because sharing is, after all, caring", and here I am. To be honest, I don't think that I would've fallen half as hard for Mohan if it hadn't been for Kunal portraying him. I've never watched any of his interviews, I don't know anything about him -- except that he has a gift; the ability to emote thoughts and emotions with nothing but his eyes, a jerk of his head, a twitch of his mouth. It's so real, so genuine that I can't always separate the actor from the character. The way that he shifts between shades of an emotion -- sad, hurt, tortured, and even contrasts such as innocent and mischievious. It's absolutely awe-inspiring. I love watching him, studying him in every shot. He's a piece of art. Poetry in motion. And the man has style. 1. Mohan Bhatnagar, I'll save you That is my first thought every time I watch an emotional Mohan scene. Every single time. My next thought is: I'll taser whoever hurts you. For real. Mohan is a kaleidoscopic character. With a thousand shades. And Kunal does a stunning job of bringing each shade to life. In fact, some of the shades seem so intricately portrayed that I'm almost sure that its existence is the very result of his performance, not a penned down description of the character itself. My favourite scenes with Mohan are probably the ones in which he's been on a mad internal rollercoaster, ending up emotionally wrecked, spilling out his guts and his most painful thoughts to whoever might listen -- Kunal's performances in those scenes leaves a physical ache in your chest. You heave when he heaves and you exhale when he exhales. It's an intense experience and one that makes you believe that there's still beauty left in this world. You just have to look close enough to catch it. Because it's in the smallest details. And once you see it, the full impact of it will slam into you, knock the air out of your lungs. Mohan is imperfectly perfect. He is selfless, kind, and honest to the extent that he loses a part of himself in the process of being all of those things. In fact, he sacrificed so much for the people he loved, so much more than he could really afford to lose. He took the blame and the pain that came with. He was always focused on being what people wanted him to be, being what people wanted to see when they looked at him; he never allowed himself any kind of freedom to make the mistakes that human beings make. And when he did end up making any, the reality of it consumed him and he self-destructed. Even though it was not always entirely his fault. It wasn't fair. Because he was put on a pedestal and people expected something from him that no human being could ever deliver; perfection. Yet he knew that he was flawed. Yet he strived to be what they saw. Spiderman. Hero. Flawless. Though, even heroes have flaws. I love how he even expressed it in words at one point, shouting at Nanhi that he isn't perfect, that he hasn't had a role model in his father, that he tried and failed at times, but that his love for them was never flawed. When he poured his heart out, putting her in her place, in a way, I wanted to cheer and then I just wanted to hug him, because he looked so hurt, so lost. In those scenes, in those moments with Nanhi when she blamed him, you really saw the amount of pain that he carried around, because nothing made his heart bleed more than having Nanhi distrust him, reject him. She was, after all, the first Vyas girl that he loved. The one he believed would always, always recognise him, understand him, support him. That's what she usually did. She defended him much like a shield defends a warrior. He was her warrior, and losing that position in her eyes, losing that respect all but destroyed him. Another scene with Beera, in which Mohan was drinking, I cried. Because that scene was heartbreaking. You could feel his pain in the sound of his voice, in the weight of his words, and in the look on his face -- that even his best wasn't good enough. The most impactful part of it was how as human beings we can relate to the emotion through Mohan [and Kunal's portrayal of him]; when we do something with good intentions and then the people we do it for distrust our intentions -- it burns. I've got too many favourite scenes with Mohan, but that entire scene with his drinking, spilling his emotions, looking shattered, and then stumbling through the door half-carried by Beera, humiliated in front of his daughter -- GAH. It killed me. I was so furious with Megha and Nanhi. I understood them. I got it alright. The sense of betrayal. The bitterness. The hurt. But in that moment, I just wanted to tie them both to a chair, shave off their eyebrows, and laugh at their horror. Because nobody hurts Mohan and gets away with it. Nobody. They really had no clue what their blame and rejection was doing to him. And seriously, I wanted them to fight for him for once. Not the other way around. Mohan did his best with the resources he had. He tried to become a responsible father for the children. He didn't run when Megha was paralysed. And he stuck around for six months post Addu's abduction in the search for him, drinking himself half to death in the process over his guilt and self-hatred. He left when he thought that his wife and daughter couldn't stand the sight of him anymore, yet he didn't stop taking care of them financially. He tried to keep his promise and tried even harder to mend broken hearts, even though his own was equally broken and no one tried to mend his. But his best wasn't enough. I noticed how his relationship with RJ differed from his relationship with both Megha and Nanhi. There were no pretenses when he was around RJ. He could make mistakes, apologise, knowing she would forgive him, knowing she would need him and love him regardless -- that he would not fall from any pedestal in her eyes. With Megha and Nanhi, it was almost as if he had to constantly prove himself. His love. His loyalty. And it took just one misstep to blow away everything that he had ever done for them. Mohan's carefree nature faded in the second season, but I caught glimpses of it when he interacted with RJ and, sometimes, Nanhi. But it was like he lost this significant part of himself the moment Addu was taken, the moment that he'd been blamed for that loss in their lives. 2. Vasu Bhau, another nuance in Mohan's persona I know a lot of people miss Mohan [so do I], but Vasu in himself is intriguing as hell and I don't mind if he sticks around for a while. He's got that whole "I break bones" rugged attitude, but he also has Mohan's heart and that makes all the difference. There aren't many actors who can pull off this many shades of a character, taking him on a journey from lively to calm to stormy. We're talking about the same character undergoing a metamorphosis multiple times. Mohan is soft and warm and safe. Vasu is hard and cold and unpredictable and he carries a darkness with him lessened only by the fact that he has Mohan's heart beating somewhere in his chest. I actually see Vasu as a part of Mohan that was suppressed and has now manifested, of course, in its extreme form. We all have a dark side, as they say. Plus, I genuinely just enjoy darker and a bit twisted characters, especially when they're depicted by actors such as Kunal who can add layers/grey zones to their character and a vulnerability, making them seem redeemable. Kunal's chemistry with his co-stars is crackling. But I especially enjoy scenes between Vasu/Mohan and RJ, Vasu/Bala, and Vasu/Ayi. They make me smile and laugh and cringe in that order. 3. Not forgetting the writers Kudos to the writers, of course, for penning such interesting characters, giving the actor an opportunity to portray them and show what he's capable of. What I truly appreciate about this show is that, unlike many others, the writers give every scene time to play out [focus on the characters and their emotions], and the character his required space to give viewers their daily fix. The dialogues never fail to impress me, either. The writers' penned scenes for the character gives Kunal the chance to portray his character in all its glory and deliver his awesome performances, adding the needed dimensions that cannot be scripted, making us live his character. For every scene that I watch Kunal perform, he becomes even more charming, beautiful, flawless in his portrayal of Vasu/Mohan. Why didn't anyone tell me to watch NBT two years ago?

Can you make a post about reincarnation? Also, do you remember any of your past lives? You have mentioned it briefly before, very curious to hear your thoughts! I can't remember mine

Hi anon, apologies for the delay in my response. I know this took over three months for me to answer… It’s just that there is so much to say about the subject. It’s a very broad spectrum that we are dealing with. In regards to past lives, how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

There are many different cultures/belief systems/philosophies and religions that have unique interpretations of reincarnation and how/why it manifests. Buddhism sees it differently from Hinduism for example. If you are curious about those specifically here are some links to explore:

http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/reincarnation.htmhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebirth_(Buddhism)

In short: Tibetan Buddhism holds that there are two ways that someone can take rebirth after death. The first is to be reborn involuntarily, under the sway of ‘karma’, drawn back to life by destructive emotions and desires. This is the fate of most of us. A few, select others, through the power of compassion and prayer to benefit others, are believed to be able to choose their place and time of birth as well as their parents.

Hinduism:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnationhttp://www.hinduwebsite.com/reincarnation.asp

In short: Hindus believe the self or soul (atman) repeatedly takes on a physical body, until moksha. There is no permanent heaven or hell in Hinduism. In the afterlife, based on one’s karma, the soul is reborn as another being in heaven, hell, or a living being on earth (human, animal).

As aforementioned in previous posts throughout the years, I went through a period of devout atheism during my teen years and early twenties. A series of unexplainable events led me to the beliefs I have today. Apart from being a very spiritual child, without anyone impressing it upon me, I had a series of supernatural experiences that shook me to the core.

My mother says when I was two years old, I used to say things to her like: “remember last time? When I was the mom and you were the kid? I liked that better.”

The creepiest instance in my case, I have mentioned on this blog before. I had this reoccurring nightmare since I was three years old, that I was a grown woman–not a child–and I was on fire. I ran to the window to call for help, and I tangled in these dark velvet curtains and burned to death. I was too young to fully comprehend the dream, and I never told anyone about it.

My whole life I was unnaturally petrified of Fire. Most children learn through experience that fire is “hot”, I was always terrified of it. I KNEW it hurt. I would scream and cry around candles, incense, matches lighters etc. spitting on the wick after blowing out the tiny flames, throwing flammable items in the sink, or out into the street.

My grandmother, being fed up with all of this, finally confronted me at age eleven. In an irritable tone she asked: “do you know why you are afraid of fire?” Stunned, o shook my head slowly before she continued: “during the civil war, you were waiting for your husband to come home, your oil lamp knocked over and caught your skirt on fire. You ran to the window to call for help, and you tangled in the curtains and you burned to death.”

How could she know that?

In that rich color and detail? When I had never told a soul about that dream.

In middle school, I had nightmares about being burned at the stake as a witch. People chanting “witch! Witch!” Over and over… Throwing more wood on the pyre, as I choked on the smoke through screams of agony.

This feeling of persecution followed me all my life. Never fitting in anywhere. Always being “different” from everyone else. I always felt that when I walked into a social situation that everyone hated me by default. That I had to prove my worth to them. I also had a lifetime as a leper. Being shunned and diseased. Deformed and decaying as I lived and breathed. I am convinced this is where my self karma around victimization stems from in my previous lives. I incarnated into this life with the intention of working through/healing this within my being.

Certain people… I met and immediately KNEW them. Almost as though I had been waiting for themto show up. As though we had known each other for forever. Time stops when you meet those in your soul collective. The ones you choose to incarnate with again and again to resolve karmic lessons and aid in one another’s expansion.

There is a book I read about ten years ago, that was given to me by my grandmother called: “the Michael teaching”. This book can only be purchased online, and was written by a rather unusual couple. They married and both transitioned genders throughout the course of their marriage. They both channel, and this book is a dictation from the entity known as “Michael”.

This entity is a collection of over a thousand souls who have all cycled off the physical plane to the next realm of consciousness. The physical is the lowest level, but the most tangible. Our lessons here in the physical reality (wether you believe in other planets, parallel universes or what have you) is to learn separateness. We come from the Tao (love/source consciousness/universe) to learn to individuate, and experience the tiny fractal of unique experience which is our soul.

Once you have learned all you can about separateness, you go on to the next cycle of experience. If I remember correctly the astral plane is next (the place that you go when you dream). Abstract concepts can be explored here, as well as merging with other souls. Generally a group of souls from the same “collective” come together to learn a series of lessons, before going on the the next cycle of experience.

There are 5-7 cycles in total I believe, and the last is becoming one with the universe again. So the whole thing was a cycle of experience in itself. This teaching always stuck out to me, it resonated because they presented the information unbiased. They distinctly said: “blind faith will not help you grow. We are merely presenting information from the perspective of the astral plane as we currently experience it. Take what works for you, and leave what doesn’t.” Which I really liked.

At the time I was very atheistic, and that book exposed me to unique concepts about energy, different “roles” we take on here in the physical plane, and the deep layers of the process of reincarnation. There is so much information on the subject, I could not possibly include it all in this post. A general overview of soul age as I understand it is:

Infant soul: these souls incarnate with the soul purpose of survival. In smaller scale food foraging societies, or third world countries where it is man vs. nature. Also the souls of animals and lower life forms are explored at this soul age.

Baby soul: a baby soul is primarily concerned with following the rules. They are just getting the bearings of independent consciousness and want for very little. These are simple souls, who are easily herded to a cause, or manipulated by stronger personalities. Their life lesson is to think for themselves, and begin to foster a greeter sense of personal identity.

Young souls: we live in a primarily young soul society. America is a prime example. Bigger, better, faster, stronger. What you have is what you are. Their primary concern is power. People obsessed with fame, validation, vanity, or any superficial pursuit is adhering to young soul mentality. Their lesson is to exert power and distinction over others. To solidify their identity. It is in this period that they begin to create karma with other souls. Wounding and impacting them with selfishness. People who start war are always young souls. They are not in touch with their inner world or their emotions, and have little understanding of empathy. If they do, it is only as an extension of their own egoic state.

Mature souls: at this soul age you experience your heaviest karmas. Mature souls are all about the “drama” or heightened reality. They live in states of turmoil and extremity. This is the soul age where you will experience a terminal illness like AIDS or cancer. All the heavy repercussions and self reflection that come with this experience. This is the soul age where you will experience a lot of death, trauma etc. where you will become a drug addict, a criminal, a victim. It all serves your expansion, to learn both sides of the coin. The winner and the loser. The victim and the perpetrator.

Old soul: an old soul has already learned all the basics of consciousness, how to solidify its identity, and all heightened possibilities of experience, now it is tying off loose ends. The old soul feels out of place. They have great wisdom from seemingly nowhere, and are often highly intuitive and empathic beings. They resolve all their karmic debts to souls from past lives. They work through the heavy traumas and let them go through expansion. The more they learn, the less identified they become with the physical realm. When their lessons are complete, they return to the universal consciousness. Often old souls feel they do not belong here.

Within each soul age are more levels. Seven actually, but you will have to read the book if you intend to go deeper with this understanding. So a person can be a level two mature soul, but still have young soul tendencies (ex. Have a lot of heavy trauma in their life which gives them depth, but a visceral need to become internet famous to validate their self worth. Or an early level old soul, can still carry a lot of the “drama” fromThe transition)

My understanding is that the universe is a living organism, that the objective of the universe is to expand and discover layers within layers of experience. To learn every possible facet (seen and unseen) until it implodes on itself and starts a new system. That it is continuously in a state of being and becoming.

A soul has very much the same experience, and when it is done with the physical reality it moves on to another set of lessons. Just as there are other realms/dimensions, your soul would pass on to explore these deeper and deeper before returning to the universe itself. Becoming one.

Past life retrieval can be done through guided meditation or hypnosis, though I highly recommend doing your research on spiritualists/psychics/Mystics in your area who specialize in soul retrieval to be sure you are not being overcharged or conned.

It is possible to retrieve past lives on your own. Generally children are more connected to the organic experience of remembering these lifetimes without any effort as they are the closest to source energy. There are videos on YouTube you can try, books you can read, and hypnotherapist’s you can see.

If you have an irrational fear–generally that comes from past life trauma. If you are innately drawn to a place, or a particular time period, that is most likely an association from a past life as well. Anything you experienced in your past lives that was good, will be reflected in your preferences in this lifetime. Everything negative from past lives, will come up in this one to be resolved. Though some lessons take multiple lifetimes to learn or complete.

Sometimes relationships abruptly end for no reason, and are continued in the next lifetime. The average lifetime of one human being doesn’t even scratch the surface of omnipresent time. Time doesn’t exist in linear form in this universe. It is a man made construct to measure our existence in relationship to our limited concept of the universe. In reality, there is so much we don’t know.

I have this intuition in me that tells me parallel realities do exist. Of course I could be wrong, and I am always open to being challenged, I just tend to trust my gut as it is usually never wrong. This is a complicated concept to be explored, but one that would help support the theory of reincarnation were it true. That one could live several potentialities of existence simultaneously in parallel dimensions. Does that mean they are all aspects of the same state? That the same soul is existing in multiple realities at once to experience the prism of existence more fully?

The evidence to this would be dreaming. Scientists are at a loss when it comes to understanding dreams. Why we have them, where they come from, what they really are and what they mean. One of life’s many great mysteries. In my personal experience, my dreams have foretold the future as well as reflecting aspects of whatever is going on at the time. Most people in the spiritual field and in agreement that your spirit leaves your body to travel to the astral realm when you dream.

According to the Michael teaching, that is the next level of consciousness, just above the physical.

Below are some videos/documentaries/accounts revolving around the concept of reincarnation. These have been many “cried wolf” stories that have been disproved through the years, but there have also been multiple documented cases where a child knew exactly who they were, where and how they died, and we even able to contact old family members and tell them memories that only the deceased person would have.
