Question: “How are the trauma of the past life they spoke of and the possibility of my "choosing to exit at a not too distant point" connected? And even more importantly, if I do indeed exit how best to relate with this, specifically in softening the trauma for those who love me and will be hurting?” (This question relates to a previous question of extreme homesickness, in which Michael advised that it was in part due to some intense past-life memories that appeared to be affecting the individual greatly.)

We have spoken to you in the relatively recent past regarding some past-life memories that seem to be welling up within you. We suggested at that time that you seek some qualified and reputable professional to assist you in retrieving these memories in a safe environment, where you can view them as if from a distance and lessen the emotional intensity that you might otherwise experience when retrieving them. We suggest this still, stating again that this, for you, may well be the best possible method of dealing with the emotions and resulting confusion you have been feeling.

You may think that an early exit from this lifetime would be the easiest way to deal with these memories; after all, then you would safely be out of a body and in the astral arms of your greatest comfort, yet we will say to you now and at all times that there is no other way to wrestle with any physical-plane issues other than on the physical plane itself. You can choose to exit, but know that these issues will simply be repeated in a future lifetime. And while that may seem at this time preferable to you over the prospect of dealing with them now, be aware that in most cases, when your soul chooses to ignore something, when it arises again it will be even stronger and more difficult. That is your soul’s way of nudging you to deal with something that might be painful.

As a child, you learned to stay away from the hot stove because it burned, and as occupants of bodies on the physical plane you are conditioned to avoid painful moments. This is normal, and this is part of what it is to be human. Do not mistake this. We understand and have been there as well. But do know that in general, there can be an enormous sense of relief when the difficult situation, the hot stove, is finally faced and dealt with and overcome. This can be a shining moment for many fragments, this sense of accomplishment. We suggest that the exorcising of these possibly painful semi-memories could be a useful and life-changing event for you. Again, do not mistake this.

By the way, in many cases, a choice to exit is not a conscious choice shared by personality. It is not suicide, which is a different situation entirely. You most likely would never be aware of such a choice, and would only piece it together long afterward.

As far as the prevalent sense of homesickness, it is well at times to remember that home is where you are. If you choose to accept this, you will see the truth of it.
