MURDER

Q: Ive been trying to understand the ramifications of when one person takes another persons life. My
brother murdered his wife and I am wondering if that came about as a result of free will, of
pre-agreement before they entered this life?
B: It does not have to play out that way. There were pre-agreements, but in no way does any
pre-arranged idea or pattern that youre going to play out in any particular life in no way must it play
out through negativity, through lack of integrity. Those agreements can all be reconciled and
transformed in a positive way.
Yes, it took place through free will; but basically speaking, endeavors which express negativity to that
degree take place because the individuals involved have not been taught that they actually do have free
will. They have not been taught that they actually do have self-empowerment. So individuals that
perform those type of acts act generally out of the belief that they are powerless and they strike out to
take others with them so they do not feel they are going down alone. Do you follow? They try to project
upon the external world all the ideas they are not willing to be responsible for in their internal world
because that responsibility is too much for them to bear. They have not been taught they have the power
to transform responsibility into positive action and understanding.
So, in a sense, the pre-arranged agreements have to do with the type of interactions and the things that
those individuals work out between themselves. But in no way do those pre-arrangements have to result
in a negative act. It could have been arrived at in a positive way.
However, since it did happen in that way you can still recognize it as an opportunity for the individual
who died to choose, if they desire, reincarnation or not, and to provide certain levels of assistance to the
individual who committed the murder to allow that individual to gain back their power so that they can
recognize they never have to do that again. That is, they never have to give their power away to such a
degree that they think they have to control the external reality of everyone elses life in order to feel
powerful within themselves.
There are many levels on which the murdered person can be of great assistance to the other individual,
when and if that murdered individual goes through the confusion they may be feeling when they first
enter the non-physical realm. Because, in playing their part of having been murdered, many times that is
also a creation of confusion and the lack of belief in ones own self-empowerment. So in a sense, both
individuals are acting out a belief in lack of self-empowerment, each in their own style of expression.
They have both played out a scenario that has come to its logical conclusion when you deal with the
idea of belief in lack of self-empowerment.
It gives both of those individuals an opportunity to examine the ideas of what they have done; to take
responsibility for it. Acting through integrity they no longer need to create a reality within themselves,
