645. Reincarnation Explained: Why Your Challenges Are No Mistake

1
00:00:26,048 --> 00:00:27,288
Hello.

2
00:00:27,868 --> 00:00:28,953
Let's see.

3
00:00:28,953 --> 00:00:30,044
Can you see me?

4
00:00:30,044 --> 00:00:31,477
I don't think you can see me.

5
00:00:31,477 --> 00:00:33,079
Get out of there.

6
00:00:36,732 --> 00:00:41,839
trying to get rid of this I don't want that anymore.

7
00:00:41,839 --> 00:00:42,910
there we go

8
00:00:43,304 --> 00:00:44,665
I think you can see me.

9
00:00:44,665 --> 00:00:46,006
Hello!

10
00:00:46,006 --> 00:00:51,168
Welcome to Soul Elevation, guiding your ascension to new heights.

11
00:00:51,168 --> 00:00:52,739
I'm your host, Cara Goodwin.

12
00:00:52,739 --> 00:00:57,231
I'm so happy to be here with you on Monday, October 12th.

13
00:00:57,672 --> 00:01:00,112
I am using a new software.

14
00:01:00,173 --> 00:01:03,936
And so this is a little bit of a trial.

15
00:01:03,936 --> 00:01:10,448
I am gonna be talking about reincarnation today, so this is a proper live stream, but I

16
00:01:10,448 --> 00:01:14,640
just let me have some training wheels here while I try to figure out what is going on.

17
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:26,275
Um those of you who watch on YouTube, of course we have a lot of people who just listen to
the audio, but for those of you who listen on YouTube, who watch on YouTube, you will know

18
00:01:26,275 --> 00:01:38,161
that a lot of times when I go live on YouTube, um on Mondays and Fridays, that the video
lags and I don't know why that happens.

19
00:01:38,161 --> 00:01:40,392
And when I watch it only happens

20
00:01:40,392 --> 00:01:50,249
When I'm watching on Chrome, so if I watch on the YouTube app or if I watch on Brave or
Safari, those browsers, it doesn't happen.

21
00:01:50,249 --> 00:01:55,752
But on Chrome, which is a Google product, and so is YouTube.

22
00:01:55,752 --> 00:02:04,862
So it's um I don't know why that happens, but so now I'm using a streaming software, and I
hope that that's gonna make it better.

23
00:02:04,862 --> 00:02:10,742
I I'm curious, please do tell me in the chat if uh if

24
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:23,314
But I also am gonna be doing some, I think I'll be doing some collaborative live streams
in the future.

25
00:02:23,314 --> 00:02:34,149
On Friday, for example, I am hosting Robert Moss, who is an amazing dream shaman.

26
00:02:34,249 --> 00:02:44,864
He's really a wealth of knowledge, and I'm so excited to be joining his course on the
shift note on the shift network, and we're gonna talk about his work on

27
00:02:44,864 --> 00:02:46,805
Friday, and we're gonna live stream it.

28
00:02:46,805 --> 00:02:51,358
So I'm hoping this is why I'm doing this now when I don't really know what I'm doing.

29
00:02:51,358 --> 00:02:57,382
Hopefully, by hopefully by Friday I'll have this all dialed in and I'll like really know
what I'm doing.

30
00:02:57,382 --> 00:03:02,116
Um but anyway, so thank you so much for being here.

31
00:03:02,116 --> 00:03:09,490
Whether you're listening on the the audio podcast or you're watching the live stream, I'm
really really grateful that you're here.

32
00:03:10,631 --> 00:03:14,716
today I want to talk about reincarnation and why we reincarnate.

33
00:03:14,716 --> 00:03:15,653
Incarnate.

34
00:03:15,653 --> 00:03:16,575
So

35
00:03:17,554 --> 00:03:27,969
A lot of times first of all, a lot of people don't believe in reincarnation because it's
been taken out of a lot of mainstream religion, at least in terms of the the West.

36
00:03:27,969 --> 00:03:34,882
So the Judeo Christian traditions don't n no longer acknowledge reincarnation.

37
00:03:34,882 --> 00:03:37,513
That was something that was taken out over time.

38
00:03:37,693 --> 00:03:44,817
So but if you go obviously, you know, Eastern philosophies and religion, it's just a
given.

39
00:03:44,817 --> 00:03:47,038
They understand that reincarnation is a thing.

40
00:03:47,038 --> 00:03:47,598
But it's

41
00:03:47,598 --> 00:03:50,220
There is this question of why.

42
00:03:50,220 --> 00:03:52,052
Why do we keep coming back?

43
00:03:52,052 --> 00:04:06,373
If we're having a hard time in our life and we're experiencing challenges, we're
experiencing uh trauma, we're not feeling that we're making much traction, then it begs

44
00:04:06,373 --> 00:04:12,418
the question: why did we decide to do this if we've already done it before?

45
00:04:12,979 --> 00:04:13,839
And

46
00:04:14,634 --> 00:04:19,223
For the answer to this question, we need to look beyond this human life.

47
00:04:19,710 --> 00:04:34,244
There is, I've talked about before, the prison planet uh theory that is popular right now,
that we're stuck in a reincarnation cycle, that we're stuck on this prison earth, and our

48
00:04:34,244 --> 00:04:44,507
souls can't escape, so we die and then we come back, and we don't want to, but we're just
either tricked into it or we're just funneled right back in.

49
00:04:45,087 --> 00:04:47,468
And that doesn't resonate with me.

50
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:58,646
I think that if we look uh higher, if we zoom out, we are souls having a human experience.

51
00:04:59,007 --> 00:05:07,232
And we benefit from the soul level in all of the experiences that we have.

52
00:05:07,712 --> 00:05:22,239
And when it comes to reincarnation, we have the opportunity to continuously be coming back
into a body to have an earthly or a temporary experience.

53
00:05:22,359 --> 00:05:27,521
And I think depending on where we are, we have different levels of forgetfulness.

54
00:05:27,521 --> 00:05:37,752
When we are on earth, there's a for most people, there's a very huge forgetfulness of the
eternal nature that we come from, of the spiritual truth that we are each.

55
00:05:37,786 --> 00:05:38,847
Souls.

56
00:05:38,887 --> 00:05:41,169
We come here and we forget that.

57
00:05:41,209 --> 00:05:45,646
And so it feels like at we're it feels like we're separated.

58
00:05:45,646 --> 00:05:57,063
It feels like our whole existence begins when we're born and finishes when we die, and
we've got to get everything done in that amount of time, and there's no pre-birth or after

59
00:05:57,063 --> 00:05:57,964
death.

60
00:05:59,045 --> 00:06:01,226
And we

61
00:06:02,792 --> 00:06:11,118
you know we feel that everything that we're experiencing in that life is is all there is
for us.

62
00:06:11,499 --> 00:06:24,269
But we as a soul desire having a vast amount of experience because we have different
things that we learn from different experiences.

63
00:06:24,349 --> 00:06:26,470
So we have

64
00:06:28,564 --> 00:06:33,624
you know, we may have a life where we want to really be

65
00:06:34,418 --> 00:06:40,591
Challenged so that we can feel what it's like to overcome those challenges.

66
00:06:40,671 --> 00:06:52,196
We may have a life where we feel oppressed so that we can understand what it feels like to
feel suppressed and oppressed and not to feel free.

67
00:06:52,196 --> 00:07:04,702
We may have a life where we're a ruler, we're a we're royalty, and we can feel what it is
like to not only feel that freedom, but to have control.

68
00:07:04,702 --> 00:07:14,489
Over people, the pluses and minuses that happen from that level of power and
responsibility.

69
00:07:14,489 --> 00:07:16,510
What does that do to our hearts?

70
00:07:16,510 --> 00:07:18,832
What does that do to our souls?

71
00:07:18,832 --> 00:07:21,113
Do we fall into greed?

72
00:07:21,113 --> 00:07:24,916
Do we fall into ruthlessness?

73
00:07:24,916 --> 00:07:34,342
Do we fall into a really overactive ego where we forget even more that we're part of
something bigger?

74
00:07:34,502 --> 00:07:41,367
And we suppress others, and we use others, and we sacrifice others.

75
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:57,063
So we have the opportunity through our different or through our different incarnations,
which we need to reincarnate to experience, we have opportunity to try different things.

76
00:07:57,203 --> 00:08:04,186
And different lives give us different opportunities to experience and to learn.

77
00:08:04,606 --> 00:08:10,649
And at different times, and I say times, I know that from a soul level, time really isn't
a thing.

78
00:08:10,649 --> 00:08:12,910
Time doesn't exist at the

79
00:08:18,310 --> 00:08:29,585
Every time that we incarnate at the soul level, we may have different things that we want
to experience, different things we want to practice, different things we want to learn.

80
00:08:29,665 --> 00:08:35,008
And it is through our challenges that we have the opportunity to do that.

81
00:08:35,068 --> 00:08:47,974
And it would be really difficult, may impossible for us to be able to try everything that
our soul may want to experience in one lifetime.

82
00:08:48,435 --> 00:08:49,816
we we have

83
00:08:51,304 --> 00:08:53,525
all the time in the world as a soul.

84
00:08:53,865 --> 00:08:56,266
And we have that through lives.

85
00:08:56,266 --> 00:08:58,277
Again, some of those lives might be on earth.

86
00:08:58,277 --> 00:09:00,748
Some of those lives might be in other places.

87
00:09:01,369 --> 00:09:11,513
Sometimes we may incarnate with the same people, with you know, that the same people come
in and out of our lives and we trade, we trade roles.

88
00:09:11,534 --> 00:09:17,626
We may be a friend to somebody in this life who then becomes our mother in the next life.

89
00:09:17,626 --> 00:09:21,238
And in the time after that they're a lover and the time after that

90
00:09:21,238 --> 00:09:27,682
They're a teacher, time after that, they're our child, and it's the same soul performing
these different parts.

91
00:09:27,682 --> 00:09:33,486
And so what you are learning, and then there's this karma piece to it.

92
00:09:33,706 --> 00:09:45,274
There, karma is a part of reincarnation, but I also don't see karma in the traditional way
that we talk about karma and that we learn about karma because that's it's very punitive

93
00:09:45,274 --> 00:09:51,158
based in that usually when we think about karma, we might say somebody we see something
bad to happen, we see

94
00:09:51,158 --> 00:09:57,581
Something bad happen to somebody who's done bad things, and we might say, Oh, that's
karma.

95
00:09:57,581 --> 00:09:58,431
There's karma.

96
00:09:58,431 --> 00:10:06,704
You know, kind of we give that that uh negativity that, somebody's getting what they
deserve.

97
00:10:06,704 --> 00:10:08,545
And I think karma is bigger than that.

98
00:10:08,545 --> 00:10:11,726
Karma really is cause and effect.

99
00:10:11,726 --> 00:10:16,668
And so it is the universe balancing itself.

100
00:10:17,032 --> 00:10:21,091
And you are that center point of the universe in that case.

101
00:10:21,091 --> 00:10:26,131
So you have done things, you have

102
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:36,841
You have had an output in a certain way that caused a certain ripple, and that ripple will
come back to you, and then you will feel that effect.

103
00:10:36,841 --> 00:10:43,304
It will seem as though something outside of you comes to give you what that ripple is.

104
00:10:43,304 --> 00:10:54,869
That ripple of so you do something, it ripples out, it affects other people, and they
adjust for better or worse, and then you get that balance.

105
00:10:54,869 --> 00:10:56,760
What you have rippled out.

106
00:10:57,190 --> 00:11:12,181
Then ripples back in, and seemingly from outside of yourself, you will have circumstances
that will ripple in through you, and you will feel those effects of things that other

107
00:11:12,181 --> 00:11:15,593
people felt coming from you in previous times.

108
00:11:15,593 --> 00:11:18,484
Now, this can work across lifetimes.

109
00:11:18,685 --> 00:11:26,250
So you might be again, you might be in a lifetime where you're experiencing a lot of
challenges and you feel that there

110
00:11:26,250 --> 00:11:27,590
Unwarranted.

111
00:11:28,151 --> 00:11:33,932
And you're like, well, I never evicted somebody, and so why am I being evicted?

112
00:11:33,932 --> 00:11:35,932
You know, I never made somebody feel that way.

113
00:11:35,932 --> 00:11:37,253
Why am I feeling that way?

114
00:11:37,253 --> 00:11:39,553
Um, why am I up against these odds?

115
00:11:39,553 --> 00:11:42,594
I never put somebody else in that situation.

116
00:11:43,274 --> 00:11:49,816
And it may be that your version of something that you put out in this life.

117
00:11:50,398 --> 00:12:01,911
The way that you're feeling and the challenges that you have are similar to something that
you have done in this lifetime, the way you've made somebody else feel.

118
00:12:01,911 --> 00:12:09,393
But it could also be in another life that you have you know, you've been on the other side
of that.

119
00:12:09,393 --> 00:12:18,756
And if what if you're being treated unfairly in a way that you see as unfair, that you may
have been the one who has put that out in another life.

120
00:12:19,846 --> 00:12:22,217
It can work the other way as well.

121
00:12:22,217 --> 00:12:29,440
That you are putting beautiful things out, and you are filling your life with love and
with compassion.

122
00:12:29,521 --> 00:12:34,923
And those ripples also, you will feel those ripples coming back.

123
00:12:35,243 --> 00:12:43,787
And it is not time-based, so it might not be something that happens immediately, but it is
something that happens.

124
00:12:43,787 --> 00:12:47,189
And again, it may be something that happens across lifetimes.

125
00:12:47,189 --> 00:12:49,740
So reincarnation is a way for us also to experience.

126
00:12:49,740 --> 00:13:04,820
Experience the balance of karma where our souls get to feel again, get to feel that
outward flow and those ripples that are created, and then the same ripples come back and

127
00:13:04,820 --> 00:13:06,281
we receive them.

128
00:13:06,982 --> 00:13:19,650
So just different ways that reincarnation plays a role for us, and again, it happens
across lifetimes, across places, it can happen in different

129
00:13:19,650 --> 00:13:23,433
Different, and it doesn't even have have to be Earth.

130
00:13:23,433 --> 00:13:30,937
You know, we're ex we're very multidimensional beings, and this is a very big, vast
universe.

131
00:13:31,098 --> 00:13:33,429
So that was what I wanted to share.

132
00:13:33,429 --> 00:13:35,020
I wanted to try to keep this one shorter.

133
00:13:35,020 --> 00:13:40,744
They I feel like these lives have been getting lengthier and lengthier, and I wanted to
pull it back in today.

134
00:13:40,744 --> 00:13:43,826
But I really appreciate you being with me.

135
00:13:43,826 --> 00:13:49,610

you're watching the recording.

Please let me know if this experience has been better.

137
00:13:54,233 --> 00:13:59,096
And um as I'm closing out here, no, I wasn't able to get it to work.

138
00:13:59,096 --> 00:14:02,629
I was gonna try to get my outro music to go, but I don't know how to do that.

139
00:14:02,629 --> 00:14:05,941
So but anyway, thank you so much.
