How does it feel to remember, and why would we need to remember?
Today I came across a post in a French Facebook group that mentioned the causal body. Somehow I felt attracted to the post, which was forwarded by a dream analyst. I felt a need to reflect on it and respond; perhaps a need to remember. I invite you to do the same. Read and reflect, and respond. Any way you want. Personally or collectively. Even if what it takes is one minute of silence within, and no word.
Read this post for yourself and think about ways you could access this eternal reservoir of Good that sits right around our I AM Presence, or our God Self. This is what I mean by “remembering;” liberating the Good in us.
The causal Body is the receptacle of the experiences we lived during the different incarnations that lead to the definition of the “Self.” It is the support of the Soul and its journey through the meaning we wish to give to our various experiences on Earth (conditions of birth, choice of our parents, geographical location…). Knowing the Soul returns to earth to relive those unresolved issues from previous incarnations that have remained inscribed in the subtle bodies (karma). The unresolved nature of these problems constitutes a major point of blockage in the soul’s evolution, especially if it has been wounded. The five wounds of the Soul are Betrayal, Rejection, Abandonment, Humiliation and Injustice.
As long as the problem remains unresolved, it will reappear in our path. For the Soul always has a specific purpose, a kind of mission to accomplish; it is the guide of our life. Unlike the Mind, which we control, the Soul, being dependent on past experiences and aiming for the ultimate goal it has programmed for itself, is directly linked to Divine Will. The realizations that lead us to a greater knowledge of ourselves are also integrated into this causal Body; it is within it that the “Individual” truly takes birth. It is only visible if the person has understood the cause-and-effect relationship of the various sequences of events in their lives. It is a Body that transcends time. It is virtually immortal until the moment when the “Individual” understands that He or She is no longer “One” but a “Cell of the Whole”: then the causal Body will no longer need to serve as a means of transporting the information that allowed him or her to arrive at this observation, at this State, and It will disappear to let the divine Body shine through completely.

Here is my response.
I completely agree with that statement. “It’s only visible if the person has understood the cause-and-effect relationship of the various sequences in their lives.” That said, how does one delve back into his or her past lives to follow the thread and correct, or purify, if necessary? How does one listen? It’s a whole other ball game, as they say.
It is my intention to offer a group process to facilitate this reweaving, this healing of the causal Body so that we gradually recover our true nature and journey toward our Divine Self.
Exploring synchronicities
There is another spiritual point I would like to touch upon. A soul is an intelligent system that knows its way out of the dark and sends the ‘driver’ directions, signs to follow, or pebbles to reassure us that we are on the right track. These pebbles are called synchronicities by many; they are very personal, knowing a soul’s journey is unique, and one’s synchronicities will not speak much to another fellow on the path.
Yet I would like to share a synchronicity—and a call—that I experienced over time with a human being who lived and died in the 20th century.
Six years ago, in the spring of 2020, I started studying the life of Dag Hammarskjöld, the second Secretary General of the United Nations. I was prompted to dive into his life thanks to a friend’s recommendation. This man was born in Sweden in July 1905 and died in Zambia in September 1961 when the plane he was flying in was taken down. I always felt a deep affinity with the person and truly believe he whispered to me to travel back to Mount Shasta, California, as I left the mountain during my first visit in July 2020. My return three months later was punctuated by a meaningful climb of Mount Lassen, 115 miles south of Mount Shasta, where I could feel Dag’s presence.
Between 1941 and 1961, Dag wrote a journal, called Markings in English and Vägmärken in Swedish; which means trail marks or guideposts; signs on the road. Coincidentally, he wrote his last post twelve days after my birth, on August 24, 1961—a date which became etched in my psyche. Twelve is a number that resonates strongly with me. My father was born on October 12 and died on June 12.
In 2011, the then-UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon paid tribute to Dag Hammarskjöld on the 50th anniversary of his death. The event took place in Upsala, Sweden, on October 12th, twenty-four (12 + 12) days after the actual 50th anniversary date of Dag’s death.
I kept those symbolic numbers and dates close to my heart for the past six years, yet stopped doing research about Dag’s life and mission. Last week, out of the blue, I got reunited virtually with a friend I had lost touch with. She had shared her date of birth publicly on Facebook. Believe it or not, she was born … August 24, 1961.
Synchronicities are stories, dates, events or even people that align us with our soul’s purpose, with our reason for being, and they surface (or resurface) for a specific reason; with a message. The people who convey these stories or messages are somewhat unimportant; the content of the message, if any, or what it prompts us to do, is what matters.
Please do not let them fall into a lonely corner of your mind.
Sharing them in a group, even though no one else understands the deeper meaning of our mystical occurrence, can be highly beneficial and restorative, accelerating our remembrance and our reweaving process.
As I said above, my intention is to offer a group process to facilitate this reweaving, this healing of the causal Body so that we gradually recover our true nature.
This group will be a Soul Remembrance Circle and I am planning to offer and host this Circle regularly. Possibly once a week.
