Riding the Tide of Change: Preparing for Personal & Planetary Transformation. Martin F. Luthke PhD

far we have only spoken of choices, as if we had been placed in a giant supermarket and had the task of choosing our menu to the best of our abilities. But this is still a limited concept. To stay in the picture, consider that we are actually co-creating the supermarket itself! Let me try to explain this idea in a metaphor: The world around each individual is like a hologram or a movie projected from the center (the individual) onto a spherical screen around that individual. It is part of the grand scheme that we tend to have little awareness of our role as projectionist in the center of our own personal movie theater. Instead, we perceive things as going on "out there" on the screen like a child who gets caught up in a dramatic movie. In reality, the movie originates in the projectionist's booth, not on the screen where we see it happening.

      In a previous chapter we stated that all of creation is vibration, or Light, and that we are indeed beings of Light. Keeping this fundamental premise in mind, let us continue with the "movie theater projectionist" metaphor: Instead of using light from a light bulb we use the Light coming from Source through our Higher Self. Instead of a set of mirrors, prisms and a strip of celluloid we use the human energy field, especially the chakras, which can be likened to prisms overlaid with a stack of transparencies or movie frames. Each chakra contains information imprinted upon it through present and past choices and experiences. We filter the Light coming from our Higher Self through the chakra system and project it onto the screen around us, thus creating our own personal movie experience.

      To illustrate this process let me briefly describe the past life experiences of a 15-year-old male client of mine. This young man had an extensive history of injuries to the head through accidents, dog bites, etc. Initially he was reluctant to explore what may have been the underlying energetic pattern that resulted in repeated injuries to the same body part. With a little bit of encouragement he was ultimately willing to look into the matter (using his inner vision) and soon entered a time stream of a recent past life. In that lifetime he was a soldier who was killed on the battlefield by shrapnel which struck his head. He was able to receive very clear images and to go back to the time preceding his mortal injury. I asked him to perceive his energetic body in that lifetime and he noticed that the head region showed significant energetic disturbances even before he sustained the head injury (stemming from experiences we do not need to explain at this point). He then stated that it seemed as if the shrapnel had been magnetically attracted by the negativity in his head region. Thus, what looked like an accident from the outside was actually a manifestation of an energetic disturbance from within. The observation of this 15-year-old client is by far not singular. In fact, many of my clients are able to perceive repetitive patterns of energetic disturbances through several lifetimes, often resulting in injury or death in past lifes and repeated injuries of the same body region in the present life. This observation illustrates that we are indeed the creator of our experiences and that manifestation originates first on the subtle planes, which is one of the most central metaphysical tenets.
