Spiritual Wake-Up Calls

Have you gotten your call?
Help from the Other Side takes many forms. Perhaps it’s a mental pull or an emotional nudge that draws your eye to a course list for a local college or adult education evening classes. This nudge or trigger might seem to be from a magazine article, a line of dialogue in a television show, or a person, a picture, a movie, book, a random bit of overheard conversation on a busy street, or just about anything else.

Certainly this can come from your own intuition. It’s your link to the world beyond our physical apprehension. But commonly it’s a loving and much needed push from the Other Side. These signals remind us that it’s time for a lesson.
It might be a simple reminder of the world beyond our five senses. But on occasion, it is quite literally a “wake-up call” from the spirit side.
We arranged before birth that we’d get these soul-awakening reminders. When our guides give us one, they’re keeping up their end of the bargain.

But how can somebody who’s incorporeal make a wake-up call? Their higher frequency can cause all manner of interesting things to happen to telephones, televisions, vacuum cleaners, and most anything else that’ll get our attention.

Have you ever been roused from sleep by a buzzing or ringing or the sound of a hurried, whispered conversation that you can’t quite make out? That’s a friend on the spirit side signaling you that it’s time to get on with your Pre-Birth Agreement.

Back in the early 1990s I was often jarred out of a peaceful sleep by the sound of a ringing telephone. I’d pick it up to find the ring was only in my head. The same thing happened with the intercom. Several times over about 18 months the intercom would buzz in the middle of the night. I’d answer, then realize it wasn’t the intercom at all.

Eventually, through meditation, I learned it was my guides trying to get my attention. They were literally waking me up to the possibilities beyond the physical world.

“Yes, when you are startled awake in the night because you thought you heard the phone ring, but it only rang in your head, yes, that is us,” Merope and Geon said together.
“We honor the agreement to help you awaken,” Merope continued. “These are signals you are familiar with and you understand. On the deep soul level you know why it is happening and it starts the process for you.”

My Spontaneous Regression

We were huddled behind the counter. I was shaking slightly but tried not to show it. I wanted to be strong. The crunch of boots on the snow was rhythmic and unrelenting. It was cold on the floor. The sound was louder and closer.

About 18 years ago I was covering a talk by a woman who works with dementia patients. During her talk she had us sit quietly while she played a tape of a rhythmic banging sound.

It was terrifying.

While others in the session said afterward they were soothed, or the sound invoked a wonderful memory from childhood, I just wanted to run screaming from the building.

What was I seeing?
I was seeing me, as a young man, huddled on a floor behind a counter with my arms thrown over a young dark-haired woman.
It was November, it was the 1930s, and it was nighttime.

In my mind I could see the writing on the shop window. It looked like “G. D. Schir” and I had the feeling it sold kitchen utensils and may have been a bakery, too.

“Geschir,” said my German-speaking friend later. “That means utensils.”

This was my very first past-life regression, and it was spontaneous.
This sort of thing happens all the time. A fragrance reminds us of a past lover. A song we haven’t heard in 30 years takes us right back to junior high school. It’s common, but we don’t normally cast it in terms of regression.
But what about when we remember something that we know darn well didn’t happen to us this time around?

Maybe it’s happened to you. Have you ever gone somewhere new and felt like you’ve come home?
Or met someone new and remember that it’s someone you love?

Some are past-life memories. Others are triggers that we’ve set for ourselves to work through something, or to get on with our life’s works.
They’re a natural and normal part of life. But if you’re new to it, then it’s can be scary.

My spontaneous regression was disturbing, but in an odd way I welcomed it. I’d always thought I’d had a German life and figured it was around WWII.
I felt cheated growing up that I couldn’t speak German. When I did hear the language, it left me yearning for more.
I’ve had several regressions since and have seen who I was then. It’s settled something inside me.The terror I felt that day spurred me to find out more, and to become a hypnotherapist.

Perhaps it was a trigger I’d set for myself. Maybe I just need to confirm that what I’d always believed about a previous existence was true.
But whatever the reason, I had a spontaneous regression one day and I’m grateful.

I’d like to hear about spontaneous memories you’ve had, and what triggered them.
