We make agreements before we are born. Most of us would love to think that we are these lovely little cherubs floating around in the ethers with not a thought or care, just waiting for our debut. Not true.

You see, prior to entry into human form, we are fully engaged with what we call our Totality. Some folks may call this our Higher Self, which directly links us to God. Our Totality consists of everything we have ever been or ever will be. It exists in all time and space and in no time and space; it is eternal. It is where we came from and where we will return. The term the Ascended Masters have given us for Higher Self is Totality. The term they have given us for God is Infinite Source. They have also taught us that whatever term resonates with you is the best term for you to use.

So, this little “cherub” is actually part of a Totality that has already been everywhere and done everything and is planning for this aspect of itself to return once again to this planet to honor its agreements.

The term most commonly used to describe this condition of “return” is reincarnation. Eastern religions describe the laws governing our reincarnation as the laws of karma. What the Masters have taught us is that we choose our karma. It is neither good nor bad. We decide our karmic agenda in conjunction with our Totality prior to birth. We consciously interact with this Totality and make agreements as to what karma we will experience. We also make agreements with everyone we will connect with prior to birth.

Why do we choose a particular karma? We choose our karma so that our life experiences can help us gain wisdom and knowledge so that we can gradually awaken. As we learn life’s lessons, we can become totally aware of why we are alive and who we really are. This act of waking up is often called enlightenment.

I’ve come to realize that a major motivation for me to wake up is my desire to release my need to suffer. The confusion, ignorance, fear, and discomfort that seem a natural part of life are something I have not enjoyed. As difficult as life can still be, the fact that I’ve “woken up” enough to know there is a better way, is quite helpful. I am grateful for every little bit I’ve learned as I’ve honored my agreements.

And I know enough now to know there is always a lot more to learn.

I waited until the day of the formal surrender of Japan on September 2^nd, 1945 before I reentered the human plane. But I didn’t miss out on the horrors of the war that was ended on that day. My current husband, Martin and I remember clearly working in the concentration camps in Europe to help people with their transitions. We were “disembodied spirits” with a very real purpose while we were awaiting re-entry. We were there to help.

It was a pretty grim job and left me with some bad memories that I wanted to forget once I was born. When Martin and I found each other, the memories flooded back in full and we knew it was time to heal them.

We did remember working closely with the Light of Infinite Source to help people during their transition. This same Light then helped us heal what we experienced prior to birth. It is my understanding that many who are alive today have similar memories of aiding others during World War II or other wars that have occurred prior to their births. Since all who intend to be reborn are drawn closer to earth before reentry, they encounter whatever terror is already occurring. Many “spirits in waiting” then choose to help those souls who are on their way out while they are getting ready to take new bodies.

After helping in the camps, Martin chose to be born in Germany and I was born a Jew in America. This is one of the ways we sought to further heal ourselves and the planet of the terror we had all experienced. We wanted to be a bridge of Light between these two factions that had experienced so much suffering. Martin delayed his birth to give his parents time to find each other in Germany. He’s eleven years younger than I am.

We met in this lifetime in 1992. Martin came to America to find me – which, of course, he did not know at that time. No one could understand why he would leave his girlfriend and his newly formed practice in Germany to travel all the way to the U.S. and return to school once more. It didn’t make sense. Most of the agreements we make don’t make sense to us while we are living through them. It is only after we go through them that we gain perspective and see why we’ve chosen a particular experience.

The Masters say we never make a mistake. All is perfectly designed to help us awaken to the Light. I have to admit that this truth is still hard for me to embrace. This awakening can be a slow process!

In this lifetime, Martin and I had a lot of other agreements to take care of before we could finally meet again. And so the story begins.
