Carol Bowman recommended a while back that I read Henry Bolduc's book Life Patterns for my research. It gives a few examples of how patterns work from life time to life time; but it is basically a self help book full of exercises, and how to take notes in a journal. The notes are for self reflection regarding current life scenarios and past life patterns.
There was however, a section that I became very interested in. It was with regard to recognizing the past mistakes one has made and how by honestly studying the patterns. He suggests it is a way we can gain and grow for the future. He identified three reoccurring themes -(reactions) that people often take in a life time that are not healthy or wise. They are as follows:
Roger Woolger has documented case after case of extreme opposites. Some regressionists state that this is how we learn, but not stating HOW too make changes. They have also documented many cases of people who re-run life time scenarios or are in denial.
The exercises might require remembering a few past lives just so that you can see the patterns. But I also think you can see a pattern from just one past life into the current lifetime. Or perhaps your current life displays patterns you are aware of.
I remember my last three life times clearly, and I was amazed when I sat down and really thought about which one of the reactions I had personally chosen. {This is where free will comes into play - how we react to situations and life circumstances determines our future and has determined our past lives; at least IMO.} I had CHOSEN to re-run a pattern, over and over.
I also realized that I had already chosen HOW to break the re-running of those patterns. It was an epiphany for me, and helped me see the bigger picture. In a nut-shell; in 1986, with a high school diploma and three children at age 26; I was sweeping the floor and spirit told me to matriculate. I had no idea what that meant and had to go look it up in my dictionary. It means to go to College. So I did.
Ten years later, I graduated with a Masters Degree and now I am a full time professor. In the process, I broke chain after chain after chain of reactions that no longer served me.
This doesn't mean I think going to school is the only way to make changes, but it was my path and it has worked extremely well for me.
I am curious if others see any of Bolduc's three patterns represented in their life time scenarios. What (choices) have you made? Have you already made changes or are you looking for ways to make a change? What are your thoughts on Bolduc's Life Patterns?

He suggests it is a way we can gain and grow for the future. He identified three reoccurring themes -(reactions) that people often take in a life time that are not healthy or wise. They are as follows:
[1] In denying our past we try to avoid responsibility. There is no growth in denial.
[2]. In re-running a pattern, over and over, we stay stuck in a rut, unwilling to take new paths. There is no accomplishment in re-running.
[3]. In going to opposite extremes we see-saw at the far edge of responses. We pretend to change and grow, but there is no balance in extremes.
