Bad Guys From the Perspective of the Spirit Realm

It's taken me years of research and reading many books to fully understand that when we incarnate into a body it's like a play, and we all have roles we act out. When I was meditating recently, my higher self showed me that incarnations are like costumes. You know when our kids put on masks and capes and run around the house pretending to be Spiderman and the bad guy, Green Goblin or Venom? That's what my higher self showed me...incarnations are like fun costumes the soul gets to wear. Of course this had me questioning, "Oh my! Have I been the bad guy in past lives?"

I decided to meet with the wonderful channeler, Stephanie, to ask my spirit guide about this game of good guys vs bad guys that we play. Here's what my spirit guide had to say:

"Pardon me while I have quite a pleasurable chuckle. Not at your expense of course, not at all. It’s a pleasurable chuckle. It is the appreciation of just how much the human mind, yours in particular likes to dive in. It’s not going down a rabbit hole for you, it is creating new tunneling systems and making new connections and bringing lots and lots of batteries along so your headlamp never goes dark, so you always have a light to see where to chip away at next. So I am happy to meet you here dear beloved one, I am happy to meet you here.

I will give you just the amount of 'information' that you need for now, for if you had all the answers, your mind would suggest that it would be oh so satisfying. The truth of the matter is that it is not possible, not for anyone to have all the answers, but it is absolutely necessary for one to continue to have many questions. So as far as this goes you get a big red checkmark in that box, red illuminating just how much you are willing to learn and engage your curiosity, well done!

Let me speak specifically to the Earth realm because you can take so many of the threads and cords from this and apply it to multidimensional realms; even though of course, the human experience is vastly different then what you may call the galactic or interdimensional beings, or whomever or however you wish to refer to those not in existence of the play in the Earthly realm.

So back to the humans, what you will likely already know and sense is that you have been quite the evil villain yourself, more times than you can count wahahahaha. I add that little bit of drama into it to lighten things and bring a pleasurable chuckle to your face and heart so that you can accept what might otherwise appear to be unacceptable. For those who see themselves as altruistic, and those who express themselves as altruistic, and those who believe and live wholeheartedly from the heart and from the point of love, cannot for a moment imagine that their soul being has come in with any type of nefarious actions or any type of negative actions for the purpose of bringing harm or for the purpose of destroying.

So let’s just lay that wondering to rest shall we. You have come in as a destroyer, you have come in as a perpetrator, you have come in as a victim, as a judge, a jury, as a defender, as an offender….all of it, you have played out. And this should be assumed and presumed by anyone who is not new to this Earthly journey, and many are not new to it so you shall assume that they have been all of the shades of shadow and all of the shades of light. And all of that exists within them and within you in this very moment of time.

In any given scenario that you are facing, you have the option to destroy or to create, to love or to bring about the absence of love, damage or to build. And so this is what you are doing moment to moment, day to day, week to week, month to month, year to year, always making your decisions. What makes you decide in one direction or the other? Let me explain. Often times when the lifetimes are predominantly oriented towards that of villain, there is an underlying purpose. For example, you can see many right now upon the Earth seem hell-bent on destruction, destroying life, destroying living beings, and destroying planet. And to that end, an underlying purpose is that somewhere along the way there is a belief that to do so is in service to their purpose. If you hone in on their purpose, let’s say for example, the extraction of resources whether those are fossil fuels or minerals this is what is underlying it.

So in those lifetimes that you have come forward predominantly as destroyer, disconnector, villain, it’s not ever for the sake of nothing. Often times it is coming about for a particular end, that you and likely others, have fed you this thought process over and over often enough, that it becomes part of you, part of your belief system that you are willing to serve to that end. And of course there are many, many other ways why one would bring harm and come in as the bad guy as you say. Much of this you have seen with your own eyes comes from those that have suffered at the hands of others, who have not received healing, who in fact have received the opposite.

So without illustrating all the various angles that can come about, it is very important for you to understand that nothing, really nothing happens in a vacuum. There must always be opposing forces, at least for the teaching of humans, at least for the human mind to understand how to conceptualize, conceive of such things. The duality you speak of is exactly how the mind is made up. Have you noticed the duality of the dual hemispheres right and left, the duality of two sides of the body, the duality of two eyes, two ears, two nostrils…etc etc. The duality is something you can see in just about every direction of every being and thing. It is not something that exists in the mind but is where it tends to reside because the mind really does prefer to have no more than two categories to assess situations.

This gets to the place where you will likely go next with your curiosity. Do I have any karmic clean-up that I can enact right now in this awakening state of me where I have caused harm intentionally or unintentionally, and now I wish to heal and provide healing and be a source of healing. I say what a beautiful question, I am so glad you asked. The answer is yes, so if I may direct your next rabbit hole it would be in the pursuit inwardly of where you most sense and are most guided to direct your loving attention, your unconditional loving attention to those with whom you have relationship or simply awareness in asking for understanding, insight, repair and replenishment of that which has been damaging in the past.

For right now, in this very journey you are spinning around in, you have more than a couple who are here with you and for you to make this exact energetic healing complete. This is a good place for your research to orient, for your soul and heart searching and a good place to have conversations through the heart with guidance of spirit and goddess herself to bring about a new way of being, of understanding, of accepting, of allowing, and healing."

First of all, you can see that my spirit guide thinks it's hilarious that I figured out this game we play on Earth. However, he will only give me so much information. This seems to be common where the spirit realm doesn't give us everything at once but bite-sized pieces of information.

As for the answer to the question, yes we have all been the bad guy in a life, so there you go. We come into a human incarnation with a purpose but then due to fear, survival, and human belief systems, we commit acts that are not in the greatest good of our fellow humans and the planet, mistakenly thinking we are serving our purpose. My understanding of how it works is that when the soul reviews the upcoming incarnation, the soul will have probabilities of all the different outcomes that can happen. The soul is not "all knowing" but has a pretty good idea of what it is signing up for in a life.

For example, no soul comes into a human incarnation as a murderer but the soul knows that they are choosing a body that is prone toward mental illness, and then a fellow soul is coming into the life to create challenges for that soul with mental illness, which would create the probability of an outcome of murder. My understanding is that souls always come into a human incarnation hoping that they will choose love over destruction. Even if we wear a good guy or bad guy costume in the human incarnation, we can at any moment choose to move forward in love. We all have free will in every moment of everyday. Do you see where I'm going with this? The human brain, emotions, and belief systems cause destruction, not the actual soul.

Per my guide, this duality of "good guy" vs "bad guy" isn't an accident. If everything was perfect and wonderful on this planet, there would be no challenge and not as much learning. We are in a human incarnation to learn so we need the push and pull of the light and dark forces to create challenges. This is a major purpose for the human experience. On other planets, they may not be as focused on dark vs light and duality, but the learning on another planet could be focused on spiritual connection, energy, and coordination between different galactic races.

Perhaps this realization that we've all made mistakes and been a "bad guy" highlights that it doesn't make sense to judge and shame others when we've all been sidetracked in a life. My suggestion is to focus on our own joy, love, and kindness and this will exemplify to others how to live.

You can also see that my spirit guide is like little red riding hood dropping breadcrumbs (my next lessons), for me out of his basket. So I guess now I need to figure out this karmic energy that requires balancing and healing. More to come on that once I figure it out.
