2024 seems to be bringing me to re-examine ideas I’ve long held but are now being challenged by new information. Plus a consideration that reality is much weirder than we have been led to believe. This excerpt from a talk Kryon gave recently challenged and intrigued me. Either Kryon, the entity channelled by Lee Carroll, or Lee himself, seems to have been influenced by Swygard’s work. Or they are both drinking from the same cosmic stream. (And look at me in 2024 referencing channeled material!)
Kryon:
“…be aware that your last immediate lifetime—wherever you were, whatever you did, whatever took place—is right now in you very powerfully.
… Your immediate past life, the one you were just in before this one, has the largest influence on you right now. Although the energy isn't linear—that is to say the further back you get, the less it affects you—there is an exception. And that is your immediate past life. What you went through then was a precursor for who you are today. It's almost like your immediate past life and this one melted together in such a way that you could almost continue it.”
Two big ideas to unpack here: First is that Kryon is recognizing that our soul’s journey does not proceed linearly. That was a big leap for me to make, and it enabled me to make sense of lives in the distant past that had more influence on my present life than I would have expected. He implies that “the further back (in the past in linear time) the less it affects you.” That’s a linear concept that doesn’t compute but maybe he was using it to point out how much our immediate past life influences our present life.
That’s a huge idea I would never have considered. When I started the Past Lives Project in 2016, with my newbie energy I thought I had a handle on this work. “I just need to get people back to their most recent past life, then through the death experience and the planning for the present life. As the carnival barkers used to promise: ‘All questions answered, all mysteries revealed.’” Now in 2024 Kryon is stressing the importance of that most recent life, seeing it as almost a continuation.
What’s interesting is how rarely the most recent past life is what is simmering just below the surface, waiting to reveal itself in an initial Past Life Journey. In my experience, and in my guided sessions with clients, there seems to be more relevant material coming forward to be revealed and released. But Kryon is suggesting a new area of investigation: treating that immediate Past life as a precursor. In PLJ, that fits with material from the past (and future) looping back and forth to our Present life.
This also aligns with the TimeLine Journeying model: How does our current incarnation fit in with the TimeLine of our soul’s history if we see the most recent Past life as having “the largest influence on you right now”?
I’ll be putting this into my list of my personal sessions and let you know how it works.
