   bob you see life exactly as I do. In fact in the ancient vedas the hindu bible it states the very same knowledge as you have just described to me, You are an old soul bob. One thing I would like to ask you is can we slip back in this life if we do negative things and have to do more life times on earth because of our negative thoughts words and deeds, namasti

     Hi John,

     Thank you. That’s very kind. My answer to your question is that we don’t need to slip back in to a life, and we never ‘have’ to live more lifetimes. Even as souls–or especially as souls–we have free will. But more importantly, we don’t need to slip back in because our souls are perfectly happy with any negative thoughts, words or deeds from a past life (aka other life). Since our souls choose a human lifetime, they do not expect perfection from us. That would be setting ourselves up to fail. As humans, we are imperfect. So while we (as souls) celebrate our positive thoughts, words and deeds, we merely learn and grow from our negative ones–we don’t beat ourselves up about them. They are accepted as part of the process. Then, if we choose another lifetime (and our souls do over and over again), we certainly hope to do it better in the next life. Yet, because we take on new challenges, new circumstances, and new soul plans for each new lifetime, we never really know how well we’ll do. That’s the challenge, and that’s why having a new human lifetime is so attractive to souls.

     That’s just one humble guy’s beliefs based on his own experiences and investigation since 1997. As I always say, don’t take my word for it. But since you asked, that’s my two cents, which is worth less than a nickel. My best wishes to you, John.

     Warmly,
     Bob

   Bob, my 60 year old son just died of early onset Alzheimer’s and Covid 19. I want to pray for his soul but for once in my life I don’t know what to say. In your talk on “Is prayer effective?” you solved my dilemma. “Send love”, you said, and that is the answer….the only answer. Thank you.

     Hi Ann,

     I’m very sorry your son passed. But thank you for writing me to share how this episode helped you. The Beatles told us, All you need is love. They were obviously onto to something. I will pray for your son by sending him love today, and I will pray for you, too, sending you love to ease your grief.

     Warmly,
     Bob
