Past Lives

[reeay]

Once, I was a translator for this group of Japanese tourists who were visiting Hawaii for a 'psychic fair' (didn't want to do it but my professor begged me to do it). So the group wanted to get a reading from this one lady, who was a known psychic locally. Every time she gave a past life reading, the condition was the same, 'You were Wumba-wamba, a shaman from the Amazon' or 'You were Umbala Wumba, an African chief' lol. Kept thinking, this lady is a con... what BS... At the end of the day, the psychic offered me a translation job bc she said she KNOWS that I am highly competent lol. Guess she couldn't psychically intuit that I thought her work performance was crap :p Declined.

But I agree with this being fun and maybe significant for some, and not all that necessary to focus on to go where we need to go.

Interesting that you mention personal myth. I have become obsessed with mythology recently after dreaming about the Greek goddess Persephone. I have come to realize that the reason I have been drawn to this myth is that I can relate to all of the characters. I have been the victim Persephone, I have been the grieving parent Demeter and I have been the rapist Hades. In a way, this myth has become my own.

Speaking of Persephone, I thought the mythology was similar to a polynesian deity called Hina, and found this lady's website about archetypes...
