How Many Lifetimes Have I Lived?

Hilarion: As a human, in this sequence, we count 927.

Lori: What do you mean by, ”in this sequence?”

Hilarion: Well, you pretty much see yourself as human in these, working with the essential energies of what you understand as your own consciousness and nature. You've had other sequences working as dinosaurs in various incarnations and understanding life from an extraterrestrial viewpoint, incarnating as mountain region. Very different sequences, not conscious, aware that you are incarnate in that sense in most of those lifetimes. No sense of this as lifetime as you understand it. Such sequence as birth, death and the view from outside the life in preparation for this life, these sorts of things are common to the 972. Does this clarify?

Lori: So a person doesn't just have 972 lifetimes as a human?

Hilarion: Oh yes, there are all kinds of variations, all different ways in which all of this takes place. But, there tends to be some fairly commonly taken approaches and usually most people will get principal value by remaining in a particular form over and over so humans tending to incarnate as humans occasional off world incarnations only to come right back to this planet. Far more common in most of the individuals who are aware of the nonphysical realms; who are for instance interested in channeling and who might come and ask us for advice or assistance.

Similarly, most focusing on these sorts of everyday aspects of life, spirituality and so on might be less likely to incarnate as animals. Because some of those sequences, though helpful, are principally to instill a sense of deep survival and physicality in those individuals because that is what they needed more than other things so you do see all kinds of variations. But, generally you're going to see that people tend to for the most part work with time in a fairly linear sense.

There are naturally, occasions, these have been written about for instance in the Seth books; where consciousness and souls choose to incarnate in multiple forms or out of time sequence, or to work with energies in various different ways. It is hard when you're in a physical body, so surrounded by linear time, to imagine such things. But, you can pretty much see that is what most people do is work with it in linear time simply because it's easier to understand, easier to receive.

But, it is important not to limit because there is an interactive nature associated with what is the individuality that you call a soul. This interactive nature is very much under change right now. The very souls that you have similar vibration to, those that are sometimes spoken of as being in your soul family, as they increase their vibration and as you increase yours in speed and intensity and the lightbody energies which are available.

That which creates you, defines you as an individual, it changes. The very nature of the soul, it naturally blends and connects to those other aspects that are so similar to it. So you would not see then this so easily defined by as a human life stream for instance or as a particular type of person or place or with goals considering it a sequence and understanding it as an energetic and a vibration really makes more sense. Does this clarify?

Lori: Yes. My lifetime right before this one... was I a woman or a man?

Hilarion: You were a man and you had the opportunity to apprentice with some of the great artists, impressionists and others, perplexed and intrigued at the same time.

Lori: I’m wondering if I shift from a man to a woman frequently? Is it difficult to switch gender? (My viewpoint on this is that the soul is genderless).

Hilarion: Very common for many individuals where a soul path has been helpful to you in learning this. Typically, when you don’t learn very much from a lifetime and some of it may have to do with gender issues, you’ll reincarnate in the same gender to try and work out some of those issues. But, the switching of genders is fairly common because of the benefits it typically gives to the individual. Staying in one gender for a very long time can sometime provide some difficulties as you might imagine in the appreciation and understanding of the opposite gender.

Lori: How many lifetimes have I had as a man? How many lifetimes have I had as a woman? On earth?

Hilarion: About equal would be the best way to look at it.

Lori: My lifetime right before this one. Where exactly was I living? I would like to go visit there.

Hilarion: All throughout France but especially Paris.

(I went to Paris when I was in high school. That's where I had my first deja vu experience. I knew I had been there before. I knew my way around which is very unusual for me considering I have the worst sense of direction).
