Does Ho'oponopono work?

Hi Folks,

How are you?!

Thank you for sharing your stories.

You know, all along, I had thought that being stolen from was a way of clearing our past debt to someone. Apparently, forgetting things and losing them may also have such connotations, as the camera episode proved!

However, I think there are lessons to be learnt at a conscious level too.

Of being careful of our belongings, valuing what we have and letting go without dwelling too much if we still lose something.

Let us take up the questions/comments one by one.

The best way to go to chronologically older posts is to click on the words 'older posts' which appear after the latest post.

If anyone thinks their life is useless, and if the Universe is saying 'amen' at that moment, as it always is, well - youv'e had it!

Thoughts become things, so watch them.

All thoughts rise and disappear even when - and especially when we don't do anything about them.

When we analyse, dissect, let feelings colour them, they become powerful enough to overwhelm clarity.

So do not let negative ones pull you down nor happy ones make you dizzy.

Experience the peace and calmness of balance - it is out of this world.

Experience it now in this world, it will become a habit and lift you to a higher realm when you leave your body.

I have a request to those who send their comments in Chinese. If you can read my Blog in English, you can certainly send your comments in English too. I have had to start holding comments for moderation because some of them were unconnected to the topic or the blog - to put it delicately.

Now to get back to Vineet's comment on Ho'oponopono.

He says, 'I find it difficult to digest it and don't think it as practical. If one could really do this, the world could be a better place, now it is going from bad to worse.

I like to think that each person should admit their mistake, know what is right and wrong, and we should not accept mistakes made by our own people.

If you really believe in this, make Osama bin Laden and Dawood good people and make them surrender.

Lets refresh ourselves about Ho'oponopono.

Do you femember it?

Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len did an awesome experiment on himself with the help of criminally insane patients whom he did not talk to or meet even once.

He just said to himself that these people were a physical manifestation of the violence which was deep within his own self.

He would open a case file, go through the gory details and say deeply, sincerely -

'I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.'

It is true that each person is responsible for his/her behaviour. However, at times, the odds are stacked very high. They have not realised the lessons they were meant to learn at an early stage and the downslide into crime or violence has tipped them over.

All of us have anger and hatred within us. Usually we hide it or control it because there are controls on us. When there are none, or when anger overtakes us, we too do things we regret later.

Why do I find Ho'oponopono practical and beautiful?

Because the world is a better place to live in.

All of us live in many worlds at the same time. Rushing for work. Music. Loving non-vegetarian food and cigarettes and drinking and gas-guzzlers but concerned about health and animal welfare and the Earth- all at the same time. Getting along with friends but not siblings. Hating the Boss but loving the work.

We are a mass of contradictions. Sometimes, we think we understand ourselves. Many times we don't - though we may not accept it.

The world around us is simply a mirror image of what we are inside.

If we see smiles and laughter and achievement and beauty, then that is what is inside us.

It is true that the violence and poverty are more overwhelming around us. We can't seem to avoid them - or thinking about them in an impotent rage.

Bu it helps none -

Each of us knows when we have made a mistake in our friendship or relatioship.

The times when we have used someone. Or avoided after they were not of use any more. Gossiped about. Harmed.

How many of us have the courage to accept our own dark side to ourselves? To apologise to the wronged and hurt person?

When we (mostly) lack this courage, how can we sit on judgement on others?

Owning up is not easy!

As to the third point, whether Laden or Dawood or so many others -

I would ask all of you to do the Ho'oponopono.

Dr. Len took 4 years to heal the whole ward - though he had no history of any kind of violent behaviour himself.

You may take more - or less.

It is not they that you will be healing, but the deeply hidden violence within your own self which makes you dwell on them instead of people of peace.

I have practised -Ho'oponopono many times on strained relationships - and come up trumps each time.

Try it! All you need is a loving heart and some faith, to begin with!

I hope it answers your questions, Vineet, I'm sorry for the delay.

So long for now -

I shall start taking individual Past Life Regression sessions from 1st of August.

You can send me a mail if you wish to have one.

Take care -

How Universe helps clear debts.

Hi Folks -!

How's life?

I have been like a whirlwind - zipping through thousands of kms in a fortnight and absorbing sights, sounds and observing attitudes along the way.

Travelling in lands and cultures totally different than one's own, watching completely different actions and thought processes and mind-sets is quite, quite enlightening!

One learns as much, or many times more about oneself as about others in these circumstances!

Let's take up the questions first, then I will tell you how either a Pre - Birth Agreement - or the Universe - worked, using me as a medium to return a debt!

Vineet asked 2 sets of questions on different topics, let us take one of them today.

How many births can a human have?

Hindus believe that there are 7 lives. If so, what comes after that ?

If they have any phobia or problem in the 1st life, what would be the reason?

Well.

Along with being humans, all of us, each and every one, are spirits.

'Human' is a form we take after experiencing mineral, plant and animal lifetimes.

So all the animals and birds and mountains are spirits too, in various stages of development.

Hindu scriptures and beliefs say that there are 7 lives but it is a bit of a misnomer.

We go through 7 stages of development and each may take hundreds of lifetimes.

You can think of a lifetime as a day in your school.

You may take all 365 days to pass that class.

Or get promoted to the next when you are half-way through, for learning your lessons quickly and very well.

Or keep repeating because you have not learnt the skills to go to the next class.

As you keep going higher and higher, refining yourself in the qualities that are required, you do not go back to the same class again, however much you may like the school or your friends.

In the first 3 stages of our soul's development, all of us experience fear, insecurity, anger, despair and desire for revenge and power.

We also vehemently maintain that what we believe in is the truth and the whole truth.

Heaven and hell are of our own making and we do not even think of examining our own thoughts and mind-sets - leave alone changing them!

What we want is for others to change to fit into our comfort zones.

From the 4th stage, we realise that it is we who need to change, that 'my way' is not even a rubble path - leave alone the highway and we start to change ourselves.

The sooner we learn about these truths, the clearer our minds -

So to answer to your 3rd question is that, after going through all the 7 stages, we do not come back at all.

Do read the posts on 'Soul's 7 Stages', 'Pre - Birth Agreements' etc to get a comprehensive picture.

Fears and phobias and problems come from unresolved issues of past lives.

They can - and many times, do attach themselves to us right from our first human life, carrying forward from our animal/bird lifetimes.

We do not progress until we resolve them as they should be, and not according to our own views!

Vineet's next set is about Ho'oponopono but I shall take it up in the next post.

Something extra-ordinary happened which I want to share with all of you !

I am currently in US and was visiting the East Coast.

I was clicking so many photographs that almost every evening the battery would run out.

I was to go on a long sight-seeing tour so my sister-in-law Trupti lent me her camera.

At the Rockefeller Centre, the first day that I used it, I lost it!

I was horrified - it used to be either slung to my wrist or I would be clicking pictures -

I called up my brother Parag to ask what make it was -

When he heard it was missing, typically, he said - oh that's okay, don't be so tense.

But there were pictures of cherry-picking and the Luray Caverns and why did it have to be hers and not mine and how could I and how and why did it happen -

I told the security people and they told me to call up after 7pm.

As luck would have it, I went there the next day too, but no luck!

To add to it, I also realised that in trying to locate it, as I kept upending my hand-bag and scattering and searching, I'd lost my wallet too!

Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

That immedeately brought me to a halt.

There are no coincidences, after all !

So what exactly was happening?

I definitely wanted to find out before losing my passport!

In the evening, I called up my cousin Ranjana in Pune, India, and at night, she came on skype.

I regressed her and requested my spiritual guide/master to tell me what was happening.

No one came - this material problem was too insignificant for a personal appearance, but the answers came!

She said, I am repeatedly getting a set of 2 words -

'Payment due' and 'Payment cleared'.

'So if I bought a camera for Trupti, would my debt be cleared?'

'No, it was Trupti's debt which got cleared!'.

Huh? Come again?

'She owed something to someone, and now that debt is cleared. If that person sells it, or whatever is the cost of it, that amount was due to that person from her.'

'But why through meeeeeee?'

'Because there was no other way. This person and she would never have come in contact close enough for this purpose, and never will, in future. This was the only way.'

I was so taken aback by this revelation that for a moment,I forgot about the wallet, then remembered and asked her to locate it.

She could see it clearly but it was not with any person.

And she did not see me using it again.

After coming to stay with Parag and Trupti, I apologised for losing the camera and did not mention anything else.

Both were keen to have a Past Life Regression session and that night, Trupti went back for her own curiosity and issues.

In the cave, after completing everything to her satisfaction, I said I wanted to ask something, was it ok?

'Sure'.

'Do you owe anything to anyone? Did you, from a past life?'

'No,' she said.

'Locate your camera. Where is it?'

She took a moment as she scanned behind her closed eyes.

'It is with a man. He is tall, coloured, well-dressed - and he likes all those pictures of Luray Caverns.He is not a thief.'

'How/where did he find it?'

I see you near some parapet - some tall building. You took pictures and put it there and moved away. He came a moment later and picked it up.'

'Go to a past life with this person, any form, any period -'

She took a moment -

'I am a monkey! I am high up in the trees.!'

'Locate him.'

'He is a monkey too! He has something in his hands - and I snatch it and eat it.'

'Any other lifetime when you came in contact with him?'

'No'.

I did a closure and there ended Trupti's debt coming from countless lifetimes!

Later, through Ranjana,I again tried to find out about my wallet, but 'it was as if it did not exist at all'.

I sent up a conscious thought that in case someone finds it, I consider it to be either my old debt repaid or a gift.

I do not want to wander through lifetimes with such baggage!

I have been researching on life after death, the in-between stages, our choices, debts and payments and so on for many, many years.

Even before this incidence, I have been used as a medium innumerable times by the Universe.

This was just the latest instance and a wonderful one because all the queries got clarified too -

It's not enough for me know these things - here Trupti saw for herself too.


Life is wonderful!


All of us, as we muddle through, are looked after by benign, loving guides.


It would make their task so much easier if we acknowledged this as a possibility, if not certainity.

If we express gratitude, - that would be wonderful!


Have you had any such experience when you felt confused in the beginning but happily surprised at the end?

There may have been not-so- happy situations too.


Do share!

My next post will be from home.

It's good to go away for a while - and good to come back!


In the next post, I will let you know the date when I will start taking Past Life Regression sessions again.

Bye for now -

Take care -
