Past
Life Regression And Dream Association by
Jonathan Williams, STPI
Reincarnation
is the belief that when you die, you or an essential part of you,
soul, spirit, essence, whatever you call it, will return to earth,
take up another body and start life all over again. This belief is
widely skeptical, and researched by millions. In the process of
reincarnation an individual may possibly have dreams or visions in
the form of Past Life Regression. These visions or dreams could
pinpoint what that individual was or did during his/her past life.
This phenomenon also could lead to new historical breakthroughs,
evidence proving reincarnation, or just the benefit of the doubt.
Through the ages,
ways of past life regression came in really only two forms, vision
and dreams. Now in the age of the psyche a third form has spawned.
This form is known as hypnosis, or the commanding of the mind. If a
person is hypnotized he/she can be asked to go back through time and
look onto past lives and historic events during their lives. Now
this technique is growing ever so popular in finding out peoples
past lives and events.
One of the biggest
arguments against the theory of reincarnation is the fact that we do
not remember our past lives. There is a very good reason for this.
Imagine having to cope with this life and all that it brings, if you
had clear memories of everything you had seen or done, and everyone
you had ever met before in your past lives.
One of the winning
arguments for reincarnation are the child prodigies. It is argued
that the only way these children could possibly know and do what
they do is because they remember it from another life. A three-year
old boy walked into the Museum of Natural History in New York City
and began explaining about the dinosaurs on display. He showed
intelligence and, upon careful questioning, had information that not
even the aged scientists knew.
Although we think we
cannot remember our past lives, we really do to a certain extent, if
only in very short flashes or deja vu. (All this has happened to me
before!) Experience is very common, and very few people will admit
that they have not felt like that at one time or another. There is
always that person that you feel you have met before, as well as
that street you walked down or that foreign language you find
yourself speaking, on occasion.
In closing, past life
regression comes in many forms. Whether it be a dream, hypnosis, or
just a fateful experience, reincarnation is out there in spirit and
soul. Whether you believe it is totally up to you, that's what makes
us human, the open mind. (This article has been

Bikers Against Child Abuse, Inc. (BACA) http://www.bacausa.com/
Bikers Against Child Abuse, Inc.
(BACA) is a non-profit, 501-C-3 tax exempt organization that exists
to provide aid, comfort, safety, and support for children that have
been sexually, physically, and emotionally abused. They are
dedicated to the principle that one of the basic rights of childhood
is to be safe and protected, and when the child's family and
environment have failed them, we stand ready to provide it to them.
BACA is a strong organization of dedicated individuals that are
willing to sacrifice any and all in order to protect and secure the
children's basic right to a happy childhood.

How BACA Works
|
Bikers
Against Child Abuse, Inc. (BACA) is organized with a central
contact person to receive calls from referring agencies. A
recognized, authorized agency with which the child has had
contact determines that the child is still frightened by his
or her environment. The agency representative contacts BACA
and the name and address of the child is given to our
BACA/Child Liaison. The Liaison determines that the
authorities have been contacted, and the case in being
processed within the system. The Liaison contacts the family
and an initial ride is organized to meet the child at their
home or in some other location. The entire BACA chapter rides
to meet the child and he/she is given a vest with a BACA patch
sewn on the back, a stuffed BACA bear, a blanket, and toys.
The child is free to wear the vest or not, and we support
their decision. The child is also given bumper stickers, and
other gifts that are generally donated by the public. These
initial visits generally last about a half an hour.
Following this initial contact, the child is given the name
and number of two BACA members residing geographically closest
to them, who then become the child's primary contacts.
Prior to becoming the primary
contacts for the child, the bikers are cleared for
participation by clearing an extensive background check, have
ridden with the Chapter for at least a year, and have received
special instructions from the Licensed Mental Health
Professional.
Anytime the child feels scared
and feels the need for the presence of his new BACA family,
the child may call upon these bikers to go to the child's
house and provide the necessary reassurance to feel safe and
protected. BACA members and supporters also support the
children by: providing escorts for them if they feel scared in
their neighborhoods; riding by their homes on a regular basis;
supporting the children at court and parole hearings;
attending their interviews, and; staying with the children if
they are alone and frightened. The BACA members never go to
the child's house alone and never without the knowledge or
permission of the parents.
Our mission is not to be
permanently engaged as the child's power. Our mission is to
help the children and their families learn how powerful they
can be. Our presence will be available as long as the child
needs us. BACA also holds other functions for the children
such as Bar-B-Q' s and parties.

How are BACA
funds distributed and for what purposes?
|
Presently,
most funds are raised and used by individual chapters. It has
long been the philosophy for BACA to use monies in the
communities from which they are raised. The purposes of the
funds are multifaceted. BACAs administrative costs include
telephone services, Internet services, website, postage,
office supplies, printing of brochures and other resources.
When they visit a child they also use their financial
resources to provide him or her with BACA mementos such as a
vest, patches, pins, a stuffed BACA bear, a blanket, and toys
to give the child a sense of security and belonging. The vest
has a small patch on the back that identifies the child as
part of the BACA family.
BACA also finances a therapy assistance fund to support
children's therapy when they are left without resources. BACA
contracts with licensed therapists known for their expertise
in working with children and pays them a discounted rate for
their services. In this way, BACA sacrifices, the therapist
sacrifices, and the child benefits. The therapy assistance
fund is also used to help finance the children's basic needs,
i.e. school supplies, camps, sports activities, hobbies,
toiletries, clothes, beds, or whatever the child might need to
feel more secure in their environment. Ten percent of
individual chapter profits are sent to the National Board for
national operating costs. |
