My Notes on: Between Death & Life (By Dolores Cannon)
Chapter 4: The Schools
● School of Knowledge - lasting light, very peaceful, very restful, very calm, very nice place to be; similar to earth but a different plane of existence; like a big hall with classrooms off of it; you can see anything you want to see, just by visualizing it (except landscape, which is earth-like); different energy level with different laws governing it; there are planes of incarnation like it (not earth now, though)
○ AKA Paradise - a perfected earth
○ Other, Heaven - the higher planes, where everything is energy (above earth, above paradise/perfected earth)
■ When you are in the higher planes (heaven) you can look into the lower planes very easily and see the physical planes and see what’s going on. There are no surroundings, no horizons.
■ Things must be perceived and comprehended in order. You have to prepare at the school of knowledge before going to higher levels so that you can assimilate them more fairly.
○ At the school of knowledge, you learn by looking at & evaluating things that happened while on earth; not hampered by worldly influences
○ You get help if you need it. If you search or ask a question, all things come & it is there. Spiritual Masters help & each class has several. They teach you to study one’s self.
■ An example of what she learned: “You see, in life I tilted my judgment to fit, for whatever reason usually to make me feel justified in my actions. And here I can analyze, so I go through the situation again to get a truer perspective of what really happened. I try to understand why I acted and reacted in such a way so as not to repeat previous errors.”
● When you go through something on Earth, be it good, be it bad, the important thing is your attitude, the way you accept it.
● Self-deception - people can’t be honest & can’t look at things; they make excuses for why they do things & justify it & twist it until they’ve lost all truth
● Your spirit knows what things you need to learn & then it creates situations without you really being aware of what’s going on.
● You never completely get it, but you can perfect it & try it (like putting something in a furnace & refining it).
● When it comes to experiencing Earth; after living many, many lives you think there is nothing else to learn, but each time you learn something new.
● There is NO RULE THAT YOU HAVE TO INCARNATE. It is up to the life force involved. You can stay & learn, or go back (after so much peace & rest, you are ready for the challenges of life again)
● The teachers and masters help you decide the major decisions & happenings of your next incarnation.
● You are what you are, what you’ve done, what you’ve said, what you’ve thought, how you’ve lived and handled every situation. You are a sum total of all these things.
● The predestiny you see is your own, not determined by God. The predestination you perhaps see if your future is entirely your own because you choose which path you will take (including higher self or oversoul
● You can make soul contracts with 2, 3, or even a whole group of people & can even incarnate together (like in a family)
● It would be very difficult to function in the everyday world if you remembered your connections & past lives. The memories would bombard you, distract you, and make it hard to focus on the lessons you have to work out, in this lifetime. The memories are still there, in your subconscious. That is why you often feel that you should do this, instead of that.
● The development of hypnosis (and other such medical techniques) has been allowed more recently as a way of finding out about some past karma so that the people involved with this can progress even more swiftly. That has to do partly with entering the AGE OF AQUARIUS.
● Karma - the universal law of balance, of cause & effect, where everything both good & bad must be repaid or balanced out
○ Karma means loving
● All souls have been around for the same degree [time]. Some choose to incarnate more often than others (AKA: “Old Soul”). Some are young in terms of Earthly experience (new to Earth, but could be an old soul from a different realm(s)).
● Earth is not the only realm of consciousness.
● Why is it necessary to incarnate? It is stronger, more personal if you are experiencing or living the problems. You can learn all you can about something by reading, but unless you have the “hands-on” experience it doesn’t do you a bit of good. It is hard, but it will remain with you. Through practice you understand the procedure and results more fully.
● Even for a soul in heaven, it is difficult to remember all the lives you have lived (she said it all blurred together, and she lost track after about 50).
● Akashic Records (Book of Life; Records of Life) - a record of what you have done; turn the pages & it reflects what you look for; if another looks in it, it reflects what they look for; used to withdraw info that you seek
○ The Book of Life only contains that which is appropriate for you at the time you are looking at it (what is pertinent).
○ It is possible to cross reference others’ records/book simultaneously & receive impressions of the experiences lived by another individual
○ No distinction should be necessary as to who the record belongs. The fact that is being replayed is an indication that it is the appropriate replay for you at that particular time.
○ Some things are NOT appropriate for us to know, and those questions will not be answered at that time. Your WHOLE self & keepers of the records determine what is to be seen or left out.
● RESTING PLACE - a place in paradise where souls go to rest & be healed (traumas nullified by healing energies); a quiet, peaceful place to get away from everything for awhile & be healed (nothing to think about or worry about); a place to erase everything up to that point
○ When you are preparing to incarnate (go to a new body/life), you deal with the karma that you feel you are far enough removed from now to work with that particular karma
○ You cannot deal with all past karma at once, it would be too much to deal with at one time.
○ If the lessons have been learned, you have a tendency to forget about them (the lesson stays with you, but the memory of that life is forgotten).
A place for those who have problems forgetting
the personality that they were or the problems that they had, and keep
identifying with the facet of that entity
● Resting Life - a fairly insignificant life, where the entity appears to coast through a dull, seemingly meaningless life where nothing really extraordinary happens (karma can still be repaid in this type of life or balanced out, without creating new karma)
○ A resting life is needed every once in a while for each soul. Do not judge these people! You do not know what they may be resting from or preparing for.
● There are an ultimate number of schools and resting places, depending upon the need.
○ Some need to go to the resting place, some to schools, some both, and sometimes you go directly into another life
○ There are certain guidelines that one must follow.
○ Teachers & Masters help you figure it all out. They bring wisdom, experience, and an objective point of view that is invaluable.
● Day to day experience teaches you more wisdom. The wisdom of dealing with people who have vices & problems. It makes you grow a lot more than those who have access to great wisdom.
● Spiritual Hospital - a place for sick, broken or damaged souls to heal (such as spirits who commit suicide, homicide, or experienced severe trauma; those whose souls are sick or damaged and need healing)
○ Sometimes these souls are resistant to incarnate, especially when they must face the same situation again, but they know that they must if they are to get out of that situation & improve
○ The souls that are sick and damaged need stronger guidance than those that are healthy. To an extent, they have lost their responsibility to decide things.
● Some souls are impatient to go back & get involved, and must be held back & told, “Wait a minute. You can’t go back yet; you have some more learning to do.”
● NEVER PROGRESSING IS THE CLOSEST THING THERE IS TO THE CHRISTIAN CONCEPT OF HELL.
● Sometimes souls get to visit other planes of existences to show them how the spirit must deal with these.
○ Each of the levels, in their own way, have lessons to teach souls.
○ There are an infinite number of planes.
● Anything that you can visualize can be real. For you are the master of your own destiny, of your own house, of your own vessel or any other way that you wish to perceive the concept of a spirit being in physical body.
○ You are co-creator with the divine.
○ Whether physical or spiritual, you make & create what is in front of you.
○ All must attune to this responsibility for all are co-creators of their manifest destiny.
● HANDICAPPED OR DISABLED:
○ Why do souls choose a handicap body?
■ To atone for something that they have done in the past
■ To try to further themselves along the pathway (spiritual growth)
○ There are more souls in line for the handicap bodies than the normal ones.
○ The amount of karma one can pay back in 1 of these lifetimes can be 10 times that of a normal lifetime!
○ It is a humbling experience. You are forced to really come to terms within yourself with who and what you are, and to look into yourself and not at what the people of the world think of you.
■ Example: In one life she lost her sight. She learned persistence. She learned not to take the things she saw for granted. To have a greater appreciation. She learned a type of feeling…and to trust.
○ Anything is worth it, if you learn something from it!
○ Some bodies cannot be healed because they have karmic debt to repay.
○ Some souls do not learn from their experience, if they fight against it & give up. They must struggle to accomplish anything, to avoid incurring more karmic debt.
○ In order to gain benefits from lives of that type, you must always strive for greater heights, and not let it pull you down.
● Whether we wish to or not, everyone is constantly influencing or affecting others every day in many ways. The lessons are gained in how we accept and handle these things, or in how we reject and deny them.
