Poor Steve. He was a she.... it was that other lifetime. The one when that horrible thing happened, you know. All that female stuff, and now he suffers but no one knows, especially now that others come to him for counsel. It appears that Steve has the good life now.
Sure those are painful spots on his head, the forehead and occipital ridge, that painful pulsation on his forehead. But it's those disgusting dreams that he hates the most. The chasing, the fire, he can't stay asleep, but it always ends with her! The problem is that when he sees her in the dreams with that pain between her lips, with those burning swollen lips, he thinks he is betraying his wife. It just made him choke! Oh God! forgive him, because he helps so many others, doesn't he? And then he awakes with that dragging backache and remembers her with her backache. (He actually thinks that he's having sympathetic pains with a mysterious lover) and so he goes to repent, again, and all the more follows religiously "the way, the truth and the light", and buys roses for his wife, and she thinks he's the best.
But his torment stays hidden and he dreads going to sleep, it almost makes him itch thinking of it. If only he knew, that she who torments him is just his soul in a woman's corpse, not so long ago.... the most recent incarnation in fact, the one where he swore he'd never, never be female again.
Poor Steve, He was a she in that other lifetime. The one where cleaning the Kreosote was just too much.
This is a hypothetical case, meant primarily to be a guessing game for one of the smaller remedies. I speculate that if one did not believe in reincarnation, one would be forced to create compensation behaviours to cope with the recurring memories. Even though this hypothesis is experimental, there may be practitioners acquainted with this kind of situation. If anyone has had the experience with higher potencies curing past life maladies, the author would most appreciate the feedback of such findings. Thank you.
