My Past Lives As A Playwright

Lori: I'd like to know specifically about other playwriting experiences I've had. 

Hilarion: Playwriting has changed a lot over the years and the use of bears in olden times was quite common. You would have to compete with bearbaiting as a major activity whenever you wrote a play in England and that was an excellent spur. You had to do something to capture the attention of others particularly if you presented your play with minimal props on the street and bearbaiting was going on just around the corner. That was what we were referring to.

In addition to this you have had other opportunities be it as inspiration to various playwrights or experiencing it and enjoying some of it yourself. During the Civil War in the south was an opportunity to put on plays and do things that could gather some of the strength, help convert some of the hopelessness and difficulty and you were involved with this.

Unfortunately, much of what was created at such time was destroyed in a fire. This took place in areas that are now adjacent to Charlotte, NC and areas near Vicksburg, Mississippi. In these and other locations people were continuing with their own creativity and we see what might have been some inspiration to this is the music of the instrument, very popular at the time which has since fallen into disrepute and that is the banjo. Many people owned them, they could not afford a piano and this was so easy to make or buy and much sheet music was available for this. You may find that listening to solo banjo or relatively slow banjo songs as some inspiration for remembrance of those lifetimes.

But, so much of your playwriting experience has been that which has been frustrating. Not enough time, not enough energy to put it into action or not enough opportunity available to produce or bring this out to the public. This has been good because then it is sort of a wellspring, a reserve energy that you can tap into saying, yes, I will do this in this life and then as if then those beings you were- wanting to do this, desiring to do this, feed and strengthen this.

That is hard to understand how a past life can be somehow connecting in this life but often times this is accelerated and assisted when you visualize a blue or translucent blue energy around someone you might have been in a past life, as if feeding you, sending you energy now, acting as your friend or compatriot, as someone to love and assist you now. This is perhaps the best way to hold and receive some of that energy.
