ABOUT THE AUTHOR    

I was born Judith Lynne Schroder on 6th May 1951, Auckland , New Zealand .

Memories of previous incarnations began at age four, experiencing déjà vu constantly and feeling that my every thought was being recorded somewhere for me to hear and see later. As a small child and all the way through my life I felt that my every movement, thought and action were being recorded for me to see at the end of this life. In addition, I knew whatever I desired to do or be was in my grasp; I just had to believe in myself. Within the silence and stillness of myself, prayers were heard and answered (my family were not religious, so prayer was never discussed). I had an inner knowing.

At sixteen, I left school to work in a home for mentally and physically challenged children as a nurse aid, going on to begin a twenty-two-month Karitane Mothercraft Nurse training in Auckland, New Zealand. My move to Australia came in June 1969 when I was flown to Sydney for a four-month nanny position. Deciding to remain in Australia , I became an air hostess with Ansett Airlines of NSW. This career was short lived due to retrenchments back in the early 70’s. 1974 saw the travel bug taking me to Canada , USA , onto Europe, Scotland , Wales and the U.K and six months later returning to Australia .

In October 1980, my three-year general nursing course concluded at Manly, NSW, followed by post-graduate experience at Westmead Hospital , continuing on to Scotland for a one-year period to do my midwifery training in Glasgow . Six months into my training, my fiancé, RD, flew to Scotland and we married in the nurses’ quarters on New Years Eve in 1981 – a first for the hospital, thereby making me Judy Lynne Clarke.

Now living in Sydney , NSW, Australia , in February 1983 our only wonderful child Matthew was born. Several years later, deciding to return to work although not wanting my son’s care placed in a stranger’s hands, I created a new and original business working from home – personalizing a pregnancy testing clinic and counselling service that later extended into ‘Sister Clarke’s Baby Care’. This enabled me to remain at home with Matthew while doing the work I loved.

1987 saw me beginning a bachelors degree in psychology and philosophy at Macquarie University while attending TAFE studies in social welfare along with external studies for a Diploma in Herbal and Natural Medicine, under Dorothy Hall. I battled with all the study along with my business, while raising my son alone.

Regretfully in 1989 Matt and I moved further north to Coffs Harbour following my divorce. 1994 saw me completing an International Diploma in Aesthetics, Physiatrics (CIDESCO and ITEC) and numerous certificates in beauty and massage therapies. During 1995 a spontaneous decision had us moving even further north to Queensland , where within three months I was to meet a very pivotal person who would dramatically change my life. Ed triggered in me a great deal of memory concerning past lives without any knowledge of this subject himself. He inspired and encouraged me to begin this book. He helped me heal parts of my life while raising to a recognisable level other areas that needed my attention. In October 2001 our relationship ended and from that point onward a relationship with Campbell from 1969 was rekindled, leading to an engagement in March followed by a wedding in August 2002. Now, relocating to the other side of the world in Canada , while my now grown-up son moved to Sydney, one of the biggest lessons of my life was about to unfold.

Within a few short months I realised I was experiencing a destiny link and a lesson I could not have learned in any other way. After a very short unconsummated marriage I found myself abandoned, unsupported, alone and penniless, unable to return to my own country because of lack of funds. This situation triggered a ninety-degree turnaround in everything I had been used to, invoking a change in country, vocation, living quarters, friends, income, thinking and mind-set. I was being forced to confront issues I didn’t think needed attention while forcing me deeper and deeper into myself and into depression (a place I had never been before).

Experiencing an overwhelming urge to return to nursing, I found it necessary to sit further exams, add extra education (psychiatric nursing), study day and night while working as a shop assistant with Michael Hill jewellers just to become registered in Canada . In addition resuscitation for infants and adults and a full day of RN’s exams gave me the success and opportunity to return to my chosen profession. But fate stepped in with a betrayal from a nursing supervisor in Australia which had me returning to Queensland due to a reference that pulled the carpet out from underneath me, without cause or reason.

Obtaining a second divorce within months of my homecoming, I returned to the workforce to continue to work on my ongoing lessons, until I recognised the gift, my gift of understanding. I now understand the lengths God goes to for us to understand the lesson in the end. I would like to share with you some of this, to make your journey clearer.

A Gift for you, to help you understand Life a little easier

I wrote a letter to a girlfriend in Canada , Monica, on 14 January 2005, and after reading it, it occurred to me that many other friends might benefit from it. Going one step further, I decided to include it in this book. It is purely a descriptive picture of exactly what happens to each and every one of us.

Our Pre-birth contracts

Once upon a time, there was a little angel up in heaven. She had died as a human many time spans ago and she wanted to progress in heaven school. God knew she wanted to graduate to a higher level so he called her to him. “Little Angel,” he said, “I believe you want to go to the next level?”

“Oh yes please God, I want to know more and be a more perfect angel and help other angels and humans on earth as well. How can I do this?”

God spoke to her saying, “My little Angel, the only way you can progress and help others on their journey is to become a baby human being again and live on earth, but you must have a main lesson among many others you wish to learn before you are born, so that we can set it all up here first.” “Oh”, said the little angel, “I want to learn forgiveness then.”

With that, two male angels arrived, sparking a memory of who they had been over the many times she had been on earth. Excitedly they re-acquainted themselves, reminiscing over the centuries of lives they had spent together.

One of the little male angels stepped forward and took her hands. The love that radiated between them was amazing. He took a breath and gave her an offer that made a tear of joy trickle down her cheek. He said to the little angel, “I love you so much, that for you to learn forgiveness you have to be hurt by someone, then and only then can you truly learn forgiveness, so, would you like me and you to fall in love and I will leave you with a broken heart, then you can forgive me?”

The little angel wiped the tear from her eye and said, “Would you really do this for me to learn this lesson, would you really be born just to be the bad guy to help me reflect and learn?” “Oh yes, I would be proud to help you with your graduation of learning how to forgive and what it feels like in your soul to truly love, be betrayed, have a broken heart and then to forgive.” And so the pact was made; a meeting time and date was arranged in the book of life. 

The little boy angel left to be born. A second, third, fourth and so on, angels came to arrange dates to meet this little girl angel in helping her through her life with tests and tasks. Finally, she was summoned to be born to learn, of many things, how to forgive.

God kissed her on the head and she forgot her ‘in heaven meeting’ and he reminded her to do EVERYTHING her heart desired and to reach her highest goals because after all, the illusion of life lets a human think that eighty years is a long time, whereas, in heaven eighty years is equal to = a fleeting moment.

If you knew that while you lived, would you not be braver in the things you do? Would you not be braver in saying what you truly mean instead of pussyfooting around? Would you not do far more for others? And stand up for yourselves? Yes, you would. 

Our time here on earth is precious. We are given a checklist and once that checklist is complete we are taken back HOME. This is a fleeting visit on earth.

Home, our real home, is on the other side. We are given no memory of this at our birth. Why? Because we would want to go home immediately; instead we assume there is no other place than earth, life and who we are.

Our parents, children, siblings, friends and loved ones are all chosen and how we are to each other is deliberate. Do you know why? To give you choice and it’s with these choices that we progress and reach our goals here on earth for our graduation to the other side. So love your worst enemies, the people that rub you up the wrong way, annoy you, press your buttons or make your life a series of stresses; for the lessons they are giving you are the most cherished chances of succeeding in your plight right here and now, and believe it or not, you chose it this way.

Their souls made a contract/pact with yours for this very, very blessed lesson. So go with your higher thinking and thank them all for being who they are to you now in your life and in giving you all the choices with the ultimate lesson of forgiveness or whatever you chose to learn. You chose each other for this very reason, you just cannot remember.

Good luck with your task, darling ones. I chose to come into your life not only to learn something from you (thank you) but also to tell you how wonderfully you are doing and to help you whenever I can. With all my love, Judy.

My prayer is that this book will allow you a far greater understanding for the reasons you live thereby allowing you a fearless, limitless, happy, healthy, peaceful existence.

Now enjoy every second of your life by living right NOW.

Chapter One

THE PRIESTESS (part sample of chapter)

I was a young 13-year-old girl, athletic in appearance with dark, glossy hair that hung to my waist. My soul revealed itself through my green expressive eyes. It was said that my laugh was contagious and warmed the hearts of many. The abundance of energy I exuded was secondary to my precociousness and outspokenness.

 

I lived in Egypt when man walked the Earth as sons and daughters of God. Slavery, power, fear and magic were evident. Man of men, were seeded by humans and men of God were not originally from Earth. They brought with them talents and gifts far exceeding the knowledge of man. I was the daughter of a man of God, with talents beyond human ability.

 

Many of the people were in awe of the men of God because of the knowledge and powers they possessed. They looked upon men of God as gods. The lineage of the two races were intermingling even in my time, therefore those talents and gifts would be inbred throughout eternity, but sadly without memory of where they came from.

 

Such talents as control of the elements, the ability to bring life back to the dead, to heal by thought and touch, using tools such as the Ankh (the key of life). Only trained priests were given both the power and knowledge in its use. Only those priests with pureness of thought and individuals without selfishness, anger, fear or greed were permitted to use these methods of healing. The repercussions of ill thought were returned many times over otherwise. Healing was always given in utter purity, empathy, kindness and love and with no conditions.

I possessed the gifts of my heritage and so it was that my parents sent me to a school for neophytes. The in-depth training would channel my energies into more wisely and utilised focal points for the good of all.

 

I was sent to this school to tap in to the dormant spirituality that my bloodline possessed. The teachings covered respect and adherence to discipline, obedience, faith, control, use of inner power and command over the elements and myself. I took myself to death and back, as part of my initiation. Finally, to intermingle with the townsfolk to teach them how to tap that power, truth and knowledge that is within.

 

My teachings as a neophyte led me to experience life from all vantage points, both animate and inanimate; to sense another person’s feelings, illness and thoughts. This was to enable a holistic healing to occur.

 

My childlike ways were indeed curtailed. Great responsibility came with the training. As I grew into a woman my abilities developed, finally graduating as a priestess.

 

Now to backtrack to the memories of that life and training. I remember feeling the coolness of the temple. Stone and carved marble structures were used as furnishings, no fabric or soft decorations. There were very large spacious rooms with high ceilings. The windows were without glass and internal doorways had no doors, although gates and outside doors were intact.

 

The walls and streets seemed to glow and musical tones were heard to come from nowhere, but exuded everywhere. The light and sound seemed to have a ‘feeling’ and glowed from life itself, with no source but life’s energy.

 

The stone staircases throughout the temple were smooth and well worn. I constantly got reprimanded for running down them, feeling as if I was going to take off into flight, but sadly I always got caught and was made to walk calmly and serenely like a young lady in contemplation. The temperatures seemed to remain constant without seasonal changes and the perfume of fresh flowers hung in the air. Life was an endless miracle of gifts.

 

My clothing was very plain; I wore a simple white flowing gown that hung loosely from the shoulder and upon my feet little slippers. My hair was in one long braid down the centre of my back with fabric intertwined to keep it from my face.

 

Through the soles of my slippers I could feel the coolness and the smoothness of the floor. Although the air temperature was perfect and didn’t seem to differ, the floors were cold to touch. There appeared to be no seasons or changes in the weather patterns. At the beginning of each new day heavy morning dew over the ground was evident, taking most of the day to be swallowed up by the greenery, flowers and birds, thereby maintaining the surrounding landscape in its green, lush and beautiful condition. Fruit and vegetation were plentiful and succulent.

 

I recall having to bow my head to the teachers. Having to keep one’s eyes lowered was a mark of respect, so I now find it difficult to put a face to anyone. Even their voices were unrecognisable as most of the communication was done through telepathy. Once one had been there long enough to learn this art, silence prevailed with only the sounds of nature; it was silently enchanting.

 

Nature provided a musical sound that could be heard and felt when the mind was still and the heart was open. The neophytes I shared my life with ranged in age from very young gifted children of four or five years up to adults.

 

As we grew and graduated many of us were sent amongst the community to teach while others remained inside the monastery continuing to learn and hand their knowledge on to new incoming pupils.

 

There were very seldom occasions where we were together as we were separated into groups of similar achievement and ability. Even though we passed each other and saw others about on various tasks and chores, there was no reason for a large gathering or the incessant chatter of minds that were in the process of being taught silence and reverence.

 

As a young neophyte during my first years, my confidence was often threatened by lack of confidence or embarrassment towards a task not successfully passed, but my teacher saw into my soul and understood my feelings of inadequacy and he would explain that competition was not part of the curriculum and neither was ego. He would put to rest my fears by taking me to a point of inner knowing and not outer recognition. My ability would then aspire to great heights when I felt unthreatened by what others thought of me = ego + pride. At times I would giggle at my achievements feeling a sense of pride but would immediately be reprimanded for allowing my ego to override the underlying meaning of the task.

 

Telepathy was the main teaching tool. A teacher could feel the true feelings of a neophyte and understood their very thinking, therefore education was at a far deeper more understandable level. It was easier for a teacher to telepathically teach and obtain feedback through telepathy than to explain with words, which always came out inadequately and indescribably lacking.

 

I fought the loss of my emotional expression and my inner chatter. I would oftentimes laugh within, feel thoughts of anger, embarrassment, disgust and shame, not to mention the outer communication with other neophytes. Knowing that this kind of thinking was at an end, I enjoyed its short life. Understanding that a normal childhood was never going to be accepted or tolerated, I sadly let my childlike laughs, inner chatter, and outbursts of rebellion go. I knew if I didn’t curtail this kind of behaviour I could not continue and my studies would not go any further.

 

The exercises utilised weren’t games as such, but quite simply the taking away of the self, concentration, going deep within and knowing that at any time any one of us could become anything we wanted to. We were all given this introduction as part of our training, which took quite some time to achieve, but what a prize.

 

 Each of us became something, anything we chose to become. We were instructed how to go within, breathe its breath, feel the new environment and sit with the feeling of becoming something else, its very core of existence, its vibration, energy, life. Water was a wonderful, enjoyably freeing, soft, flowing thing to become. Every turn and movement was effortless; there was no sensation of temperature, just an oxygenating self-sustaining body of fluid flowing along an inevitable path; a most healing entity to become.

 

When I felt defeated, saddened or angered or my ego was bruised I would often meditate returning to water, hence giving me strength, peace and resolve. It had such a healing effect and I inevitably returned feeling more peaceful, calm and focused. Water is energising and cleansing for the soul, mind and body.

 

My abilities even allowed me the experience of venturing into another person, to become in essence a part of them. During these episodes I could capture thought patterns, motives, pain and areas of emotional and physical need, literally being able to ‘walk a mile in their shoes’. It was a heavy, sticky, slow, burdensome, painful place to dwell for too long so this was done solely to diagnose and help that soul on its journey with physical and emotional healing. Entering another’s psyche was never allowed for any reason other than healing and was strictly supervised.

 

The priests rigidly policed this activity, as it was an invasion. But it was used as a diagnostic tool and a method to assist on a far deeper level. If it became fun, then our ego was present and a prevailing lesson to us would ensue. We had to practise this method of training on each other and as we progressed we would do field work on the unknowing citizens within our city area, under strict supervision.

 

During this period of my life my closest and dearest friend was a fellow neophyte, Nero. Our nocturnal practice of telepathy kept us in good touch along with our daily telepathic communications during class, which was immediately curtailed by our teachers. We were children being taught to act as adults long before our time and occasionally that childlike expression was evident in rebellion, humour and childlike pranks where studious seriousness was being demanded of us.

 

Due to our teacher being more practiced than ourselves, we often had our telepathy interrupted by a teacher with a warning to desist. Our astute teachers knew everything we did, thought or felt. They were always one step in front of us.

 

Nero’s and my friendship was strong. We had so much in common, and made light of some of our chores with our constant telepathy chatter; life was such a joy. We allowed our childlike ways of living to make our bond with each other whole and complete. He gave me a sense of nurturing, peace and tranquillity, and he felt like a part of myself. Whenever we were together we seemed to melt together in our thinking. We could read each other telepathically and would do this often without a word being uttered, whether we were in each other’s company or not.

 

He was my mother/father/brother/sister/God/self and it felt so good to be with him in mind and soul. We both marched to the beat of the same drummer, we made the same mistakes, excelled in the same things and felt the same way about certain issues. We had many a good conversation whether we were in the same room or in another part of the building or in fact very much apart in distance.

 

Telepathy is such a perfect way of communication. There could be no misconstruing of ideas or perceptions. As I thought, so it was. No mistakes of perception, no wrong messages. My messages were sent and received wholly in the order and with the feeling I sent them, and likewise with their receipt. It was so easy.

 

Over the years we became close, in mind. I knew in this lifetime there would be no children, no sexual consummations, therefore no need for the annoyance of a monthly period, which was curtailed by medicinal herbs. Sexual relations were unheard of and unnecessary for a priestess or a priest. The desire to consummate was absent out of choice and deliberation. The path I had chosen was one of celibacy, godliness and discipline. My life’s journey was to be taken alone, physically. I was void of the yearning of the flesh.

 

Upon graduating, travel and teaching from city to city took me far from the monastery. I travelled alone. Families felt privileged and honoured to take in a travelling teacher offering spiritual knowledge. A meal and a bed were given in return for spiritual teaching. I gained enjoyment from my chosen vocation. Even though I travelled alone I didn’t experience loneliness. The knowledge of never being alone was paramount within. Each evening as my day would draw to a close and my head would relax upon my bed I would telepathically communicate with my friend Nero. He had been my companion throughout my years of training and even though we were separated by distance we were closer in thinking and communication than we would have been beside each other.

 

It was becoming more difficult to reach the people on a one-to-one level as our spirituality was too far removed from everyday life as it was at that time. Their understanding and acceptance of us and of what we were trying to teach was too advanced for them to comprehend. We appeared to be unapproachable, therefore to be more accepted into their lives and homes we had to become more human-like and less serious. Our verbal communication was not as good as our telepathy, but the people we visited had no thought of what telepathy was.

 

I came to a decision and discussed it with Nero, who also felt the idea had great merit, and so we gave birth to a plan that we both wanted to put to our respected High Priest. We felt that to be more effective in our service to mankind and reach the townsfolk more effectively, we should be more like them, be more approachable, more down to earth and accessible. Nero and I approached the High Priest and put to him an idea, which we felt could work. Our request was to ask for marriage. We had always been great friends and even though married, our situation would not change, although the people would not know that.
