DWQA QuestionsCategory: Channeling PitfallsA viewer writes: “I’ll try to keep it brief, but I met a man 3 years ago, who presented to me, letters that his mum had written to him (who was a clairvoyant), explaining that he’d meet me later in life. She had written these over a course of years, possibly throughout her whole life. She started these letters when I was 4 years old. I’m now nearly 40, but I didn’t start receiving them until 3 years ago, when I met her son. He has become a good friend of mine, although he can be overbearing and overprotective of me. In the letters, his mum writes that he’s my ‘protector’ and the reason for the letters is for him to help me wherever possible and to stop me from suicide. She wrote that I suffered from depression, amongst other things. She’s right about depression, but I didn’t and have never felt suicidal. She states that he is the way he is with me, because it has been put in his genetic makeup, to protect me at all costs. She says that I’m her daughter from another realm and that I’ve had many past lives with her. What I don’t understand is, if we’re all from Creator, then what’s this other realm she’s referring to? I just really need the truth. Is she wrong?”

She is not wrong but she is wanting to micromanage things a bit. Being clairvoyant, she was privy to much information but was still only seeing the surface of some of the factors involved here. It is true that you have been her daughter. It is true that you have been involved with her son as well in the past. That does not mandate that you interact with one another yet again. She was foreseeing this potential for him to be of help to you and this she was trying to implement through the exchange of information and to encourage an interrelationship. This could well be useful if taken seriously by both parties and done with a spirit of cooperation and a genuine desire to benefit one another in whatever way develops. This is not a soul destiny preplanned to be consummated in any particular fashion so it is open‑ended in a sense. You are individuals and you can choose to spend time together or not. If he is a resource of value to you, there are many ways to tap into that and capitalize on it if you choose. Whether he is fully capable of being a source of rescue for you in dark times remains to be proven. It might be an intention and a desire of the mother and a future potential as well, but that is not guaranteed to happen, so you can relax here, that you are not missing the boat in feeling clueless about some grand plan that seems to be the machinations of the universe in some grand fashion. This is simply the reach of karma in popping up again and again during a lifetime, and with an awareness intuitively, can be seen for what it is—there have been past doings, interrelationships, and potential future consequences stemming from that prior history. That is the meaning of "karma" after all, that energy is sent to and fro to inform the self and others and be a stimulus and a reminder in ways that can bring change, benefit, or a challenge, possibly a severe one depending on the nature of the energy involved and the intentions behind it. So in this case, this was all orchestrated by a woman who had a higher knowing about things—the continuity of life, the reincarnation paradigm, and the past history of her family and yourself in being part of her soul collective and prior family membership as well. So you are unencumbered here, you are free to live your life as you choose, and sort among the possibilities and options presenting themselves and do not need any further detailed descriptions of her knowings and how she interpreted them. The prior lifetime experiences were Earth lives and not life in a mysterious other realm, so there is not a great mystery here with great import in some esoteric way. Your curiosity is understandable. It is profound enough, is it not, that you are an immortal soul having a series of adventures and meeting many others as you come and go in successive lifetimes and often share multiple lives with people as an opportunity for learning and growth? It is not always for fun and pleasure, but often for the challenge it might bring and the hard work it instills as a stimulus or even an imperative to work on righting a wrong, overcoming adversity, and so on. So that is part and parcel of the experience overall. Much of what humans do is prosaic, even elementary, but every aspect of life needs to be experienced and the various choices explored to gain a mastery of the art of living. That is its purpose. The journey is to gain ground, to become more knowledgeable, more sophisticated, with a greater depth of understanding, and a growth in the character from hard-won lessons all of which serves the soul.
