INTRODUCTION

This series describes a past life I have visited more than twenty times, when I was a Lemurian man named Keth. I have recorded these experiences as guidance for my own growth, to remind all of us of what is possible as humans, and to affirm and encourage you in your own explorations of realms beyond the physical.

I returned from every journey feeling affirmed, expanded, and awestruck. What I learned was beyond anything I could have conceived of. The most inspiring realization was that what I experienced in Lemuria is possible now, in the 21st century.

I narrated and recorded these journeys while in a self -guided trance, created the transcript, then reviewed the recordings to edit and amplify the transcript. This has enabled me to explore and document aspects of the journey that moved and changed too quickly to describe fully at the time. The result is a deeper and more complete description of the events, perceptions, and learnings of these journeys.

If you haven’t read the back story of these past life journeys presented in Part 1, I recommend that you do so. The Medium article describing that first journey is here.

Entering the journey

Today is Tuesday, August 23, 2022.

I’m in a relaxed frame of mind, so I’m going to try to make a very rapid transition into my past life as Keth. …Visualizing myself standing at the Veil. Seeing the opening, connecting with Keth across that boundary. 10, nine, eight, seven, six — dark now — five. Transition. Four… Out.

I am Keth. I’m in a natural setting where Wes hasn’t been with me yet, on my way to a lake. We come to a place that overlooks the lake from a parapet made from raw stone. I come here from time to time. I really like this stone: its crudity, roughness, and texture appeal to me.

I am alone. It is a beautiful day. The sun is hot and I like that. The lake I’m looking out over is very large. It’s fresh water, but I can’t see the opposite shore from where I am, even though I’m probably 100 feet or so above by your reckoning.

Choosing work and creating together

You ask how our careers are chosen. The question underneath that in your mind is whether we have a sense of a pre-incarnative choice of purpose during a lifetime. This is not something I have considered. It is not a common line of thinking among our people. We have some who deal with topics like this one, by which I mean the question of a pre-incarnative choice of occupation or inclination, or in what career to be of service. We are free to choose our career or the areas in which we want to study. Few of us make any link between other lifetimes and what we choose to do in this lifetime. That may be because we don’t generally connect with previous lifetimes, so we don’t have a history of what we might have been interested in or practiced as an occupation.

In my case, I was interested from the time I was a boy in lines and perspectives. I enjoyed making beautiful objects and beautiful designs, and I was particularly satisfied when I could use matter to make physical the designs that I saw. My relationship with my wife is very satisfying for both of us because we can communicate in a way that even here we find unusually harmonious and very complete, about what she sees in her design work and what I wish to work with in creation of designs. We work together: she creates the specific design and lines and the appearance of what is to be built, with all of what you would call engineering and architectural details. Then it is my great pleasure to execute those designs and plans.

I don’t get involved with the functional infrastructure in the buildings that I create. I am much more interested and skilled in working with the matter itself, to the point where I shape it with my hands.

Matter, energy, and the spirits of a place

I see, when you show me some of our other past lives, that we have always been interested in what you call Nature or Second Density, as well as in the matter that is First Density, particularly stone and rock. I also resonate with your experiences as a worker with energies and spirits. It is our understanding that these are not as separate [i.e. distinct from each other] as you perceive them to be. Energy is conscious. Spirit is conscious energy. The spirits of a place are like that as well. We honor them and respect them, and when they are willing we confer with them about construction and making changes to the natural conformations of matter. Again, I refer mostly to stone.

We do use wood, yes, in somewhat the same ways you do, but particularly for the beauty that it adds. We choose not to simulate wood grain, but to use the grain of the wood in its natural form.

Shared experiences and a closely held secret

(Here there is a pause of several minutes in the narration.)

Wes: Over the past few minutes I have allowed Keth to see my experiences with some high-level nonphysical entities. He is fascinated. He allows me to see and speak as Wes now. Knowledge of the Confederation of Planets sources and that realm is relevant to what the Lemurians are preparing to do, if what they have foreseen as the rise and self-destruction of Atlantis actually occurs. I ask if what they are planning to do is physical, a change from the physical, or some combination.

Keth, with an apology and in a dignified manner, refuses to answer directly or speculate. He says, “This is a closely held secret for us. It is not made known even to all of our own people. We restrict the knowledge because we are not aware of the degree to which this rising Atlantean culture might be capable of telepathy, or possibly even of seeing what we are thinking without allowing a reciprocal seeing on our part of what they are thinking. This is a challenging thing for us to take into consideration because it is so foreign to our nature.”

(Another pause, two minutes this time.)

Spiritual guidance and creative inspiration

Wes: The soul lineage to which Keth and I belong is not capable of the kind of mutual assistance I experience with other sources and spirits because the communication between the two of us, and also our shared experience, is relatively limited. We learn from each other largely because we live in very different cultures in times that are far apart, even though we are on the same planet.

I show him my past life as a very large planet-like orb in space. Keth finds that comforting and familiar, very pleasant.

We turn our attention to the concept of spiritual guidance, of the nature of what I receive from those of the Confederation and other sources whose identity I don’t know. This is not completely new territory for Keth. It feels to him like the inspiration that comes when he has flashes of insight and creativity in his work, thought it had not occurred to him that there might be active entities providing him with those ideas. I remind him that part of us stays in the realm of souls while we incarnate. I think he brought about 60% of our soul energy with him into Keth.

Meeting our shared soul

I am expanding now into the realm of souls. There is a veil thinning between us and the realm of souls. Keth also perceives this. It is familiar to me, and therefore not as much of a shock as to him. He is fascinated. Astonished and delighted.

Keth: “Meeting my soul, meeting this other part of myself, is amazing. It is like a completion, with my descendant Wes and this other part of me, the one Wes calls Vern [my name for our soul when I visit that realm]. It’s like a homecoming or reunion. I know also that all of the other lives we have had are right here. This is delightful!

“I meet the one Wes calls Red, our primary soulmate. I also see that one as “she.” I do not recognize this one as incarnated in my life in Lemuria.”

Wes: Keth is disappointed but not sad about this, not feeling that something that should be present is missing.

Two of his friends are in our soul group. One of them has incarnated again as a member of my own family. I don’t know whether the one I call Goldie is in Keth’s group of acquaintances. The closeness of the relationships they have with each other through concept communication and empathy makes it more difficult for them to identify members of their own soul group because they can intimately know so many more people. [In Wes’s society, soul group members are often identified by the experience of a strong feeling of affinity which is unusual in the 21st century. In Keth’s society that affinity and feeling are normal.]

Kicked out of the Council Chamber

We shift now to the council chamber. We are standing side-by-side, though in a fashion we are still one. Odin (I gave him that name many years ago; he is the leader of my Council of Elders in the Realm of Souls) is somewhat amused, and also not very enthused about this. I ask, and he says that it is because of the evolution of this soul from the time of Keth to the time of Wes. I, we, are asking the council to deal with a soul that is more mature in the time of Wes because of the incarnative experiences this soul has had between our two lifetimes. [This would be like to trying to deal simultaneously with a child of eight years old and that same child at the age of 15.]

We find ourselves now outside, no longer in the council chamber. That is at the volition of Odin. Crudely put, we were booted out of the council chamber. It was not appropriate for us to be there together.

Between us we acknowledge that there is a difference in the maturity of our soul between the two lifetimes. The differences in the circumstances of the lifetimes are such that the incarnation as Wes has much to learn from the incarnation as Keth. A lot of what we have to learn is about culture. Keth understands now that many changes have occurred on this planet after the Lemurian and Atlantean cultures disappeared. The changes have mostly been retrogressive in terms of humans getting along with each other. It is in the areas of social maturity that Wes has been able to learn from Keth.

Another voice speaks about telepathy

We agree that telepathic communication is a way to deeply open people to each other, to progress toward greater maturity. Another voice addresses me: “… if they are sufficiently developed to handle it, which most of you [in the 21st century] are not. Nevertheless, we encourage you to continue to learn from Keth and others such as ourselves how to bring telepathy to those in whom there is openness, and who possess the strength of the energy body to deal with the thinning of the veils that separate you.

“This is your important work in the 21st century, as you call it.”

Keth is electrified by this. He is awestruck by the depth and clarity of the communication, by what he senses of the entities who have offered that communication. He perceives them independently of me.

Keth says, “I have received many powerful new thoughts and ideas, from sources who have been on the edge of my consciousness, but never so clearly present. For this I am grateful. This will be of great help to my people.”

Back to ordinary consciousness

I am now feeling guided now to return to my ordinary consciousness, while staying open to communication with Keth.

I say, “It feels too long since we talked. I’ve been visiting other realms, and learning about the developing and balancing of my chakras.”

Keth nods. It’s interesting to make an observation to myself, then feel myself nod in acknowledgement.

I turn my attention now back to the place where my body lies. I withdraw a bit from Keth. I understand that the images of the veil and the tunnel, and of the quick transition through the tunnel, are where I have come to in terms of speed. There will [soon] come a time when I use only the feeling of the transition point in the tunnel to make the shift very quickly into being Keth.

I’m back on the other side now, opening my eyes in this little room.

End of the Narrative

LESSONS OF THE JOURNEY

1. “Ordinary to you, amazing to me.”

Observation

As I/we enter the realm of souls, I ask Keth whether he also perceives the thinning of the veil. He does. I observe his astonishment and delight at this new experience. He describes meeting our shared soul as a completion and a homecoming.

Relevance Today

Familiarity changes how people respond to an experience. In many areas of life, one person’s familiar experience may be another person’s stimulating first encounter, and this can be a refreshing reminder about the expansive effect of a new experience. This is good for me to remember.

2. Maturity takes different forms

Observation

I stand beside Keth in the council chamber and hear Odin, whom I know from many visits to this realm as the leader in my Council of Elders, explain the difficulty of addressing our soul at two stages of its development. After we leave (more accurately, we are bounced), Keth and I acknowledge that difference. We also recognize that I am (re)learning from his experience of culture and relationships even though I am at a later stage of our soul’s existence.

Relevance Today

Age, accumulated experience, and social understanding do not develop at identical rates in every person. Any person holds a depth of knowledge in one area while depending on another person’s understanding in other domains. The exchange between Keth and me recognizes our mutual teaching/learning, within a relationship where differences in experience are substantial.

3. Greater openness requires readiness as well as access

Observation

When Keth and I agree that telepathic communication opens people to each other, another voice qualifies that idea, with reference to the need for spiritual development, openness, and the strength to handle thinning of the veils between physical and spiritual realities — uncommon qualities in the 21st century.

Relevance Today

The qualification directs my attention to the work of helping my people develop these qualities in order to be able to experience telepathy with equanimity and confidence.

SERIES CONTINUITY

This chapter continues the exchange between Keth’s experience of creative work and my questions about his culture. His account of collaboration with his wife develops the archive’s attention to beauty, stone shaping, and communication. Our different perspectives remain visible: I ask about pre-incarnative purpose and spiritual guidance, while Keth relates those questions to his occupational interests and flashes of inspiration.

The journey also extends our relationship through experiences I bring to him. I learn from his descriptions of social life, and he accompanies me into a realm that is new to him but familiar to me from other meditations. Our brief council visit makes the differences between our incarnations explicit. The closing communication returns to the recurring importance of shared consciousness while introducing a clear qualification about readiness for greater openness.
