We come here to the earth plane from our home in the spirit world to live an earthly life and to learn the lessons that will make us more enlightened spirits. Our spirit family can choose to come with us to help us.
We are born into this life at the same moment as we leave the spirit world. We have been allotted a certain life span and how we get from the beginning of our life to the end of our earthly life, is left to ourselves. We have free will. Though we are guided all the time, it our personal responsibility to live as good a life as we can within the set of circumstances into which we are born. We have to make the most of it.
When our time on earth is over we will go back to our spirit home and our loved ones in the spirit world. Our earthly loved ones will mourn our passing, and our spirit loved ones will rejoice at our homecoming.
The event, I believe, is like stepping through a door into another dimension. In the spirit realm we will have to atone for all our wrong doings, and we will be rewarded for all our good deeds. This is why we should take personal responsibility for all our earthly deeds. We cannot blame others for our shortcomings. Our experiences, and how we handled them, will determine our position in the spirit world and the progress we make.
It is really important to live our lives as if every day was our last, making every minute count. We should learn to treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves, in a decent respectful way. Remembering that we will be judged when we arrive back home in the spirit realms will help.
Unfortunately, so many people these days do not believe in an eternal existence and consequently, do not seem to care what sort of life they lead. If they realised the impact their earthly life was going to have on their eternal life, they might stop to think and try to change their lifestyle.
I believe that our spirit and earthly history will is wiped from our memory for the duration of our earthly existence, so that the knowledge of an earlier life does not interfere with the way we handle our lessons of this one. This I believe is probably the nature and reason for de ja vu! Past memories could somehow leak to the fore of your material mind on some occasions and make us think we have ‘been here before’. I am sure you will have experienced this during your lifetime.
An example of de ja vu is: when you are walking into the room of an old castle or church and the hairs stand up on the back of your neck making you go cold. Someone says words which set your mind racing but you feel you have lived it all before.
If we have had a prior existence and our mind has been virtually cleared of the history of that life, it may be possible, in theory, that something could trigger off a distant memory, but one that we cannot remember clearly enough to say if it really happened.
Occasions like this have happened to me quite a lot and maybe they have to you too. I would be keen for you to share such experiences with me via my web site.

Hi Barbara. I myself have had a few deja vu flashes but they have been ones not set in a castle or an old building but in my own house or another modern place. I can’t understand them except the fact that it must be some sort of precognition rather than me being there before. Whatever the explanation I find them fascinating. I have a theory that we all have lived the life we are living before. As if we are having one cosmic Groundhog Day and that whole universe repeats itself, could this account for deja vu? That we have all been here before.
