Random Thoughts

Just in the last posting I mentioned the blog that I came across about past life regression. It talks about life, death and what happens after death.  Irrespective of whether one believes in the things mentioned it does make you think about the life you are leading. The reason I like the blog and in particular the posting titled “Pre birth choices”(http://goinghomeshubhayeri.blogspot.com/2009/03/pre-birth-choice-and-agreement.html) is that it helps put things in perspective.  Shubha wrote in that posting

Whatever happens to us in our life, happens because we chose it as a challenge with the confidence that we will overcome it and grow and evolve from that experience.

We NEVER choose impossible targets for us, just tough ones.

When unpleasant things happen  then the thought that this is happening to me simply because I wanted it to happen to me for some reason, gives strength to get out of that situation. It helps you to analyze and figure out what lessons you are meant to learn from it all. It is a powerful idea and concept which truly can help us evolve spiritually and become a better person.

I went to see the “King Tutankhamen and the Golden age of Pharaohs” exhibit this afternoon with my husband and kids. The exhibit was amazing. It was fascinating to see the artifacts preserved in such good condition. It was hard to believe that those exhibits are over 3000 years old. It was very interesting to see what kind of things were put in with the mummies for their comfort(?)  in life after death. Jewelry, ointment jars and even board games were stored in the tombs.  There are and have been so many different cultures and beliefs in our world.  I grew up in culture where people believe that all the material possessions cease to be of any use after death.  We are soul and we just have the body. Our wealth and precious belongings don’t really count then. The only thing that counts is if we are learning our lessons from this life.
