The first time I visited my Akashic records, I was led by a hypnotherapist. She and I flew over what looked like a railroad track and I was asked to keep watching for the first spot of light beaconing me in. When I dropped into the lighted palace, I was asked to simply witness with my emotions intact. I was directed to look at the scenery, look at my shoes and clothes, observe any buildings and determine from my feelings and my surroundings and where I was. I was asked to pay attention to the architecture, and who was with me, and what was happening. On my first visit, I found myself as a mayor of sorts, in a Chinese township. I was walking down a parade route and was being honored for my role as caretaker of the village. I remember feeling a little embarrassed to be receiving all the attention. I knew I had done nothing nor had I earned it. I knew I had been born and placed in my position. I felt humiliated at how much people were fawning over me when I hadn't offered anything of value to them all. I knew it was only because of my position of wealth in society. I felt it was only time before others realized I was just an entitled placeholder. I felt a strong desire to really make a difference where the celebration was something I was proud of having gained.

In my current life, I had been in a financial struggle and in admiration of the very wealthy and well-placed people who seemed to not have a worry in their lives at all. I had a much clearer understanding after witnessing this life that everyone carries a burden, and my responsibility was to offer something of value to others. My responsibility was to find my life purpose and offer it.
