What amazes me is that when and if you do connect with the past and people from the past - the amazing different responses you get. On a limited level i have done so. These are some of the responses i recieved: Some people said that they appreciated my friendship when others were ostracizing them. I have had one person say i was stalking them when I was a long distance away (trying to get in touch or stay in contact on the internet can apparently be considered stalking.)... another said they loved me more than any relationship they had... some will ignore you.... some one said they wondered why i did not respond to an old letter. Someone said not to contact them again. A couple people asked me to come and live with them. Some called me and hoped i would move back in their area. One person became much closer and more of a friend than before.  i have had some pass to the next life and wished i had contacted them before it happened. Some said they were glad to hear from me and hoped to stay in touch. There have been apologies on both sides and sometimes no regrets except not staying in touch. Someone said i was the best friend they ever had. What a variety of responses.... which leads me to believe that how we feel about the past and what happened is very subjective.

i believe it is worth it to see where people have gone and to express your appreciation of them and the times you spent together. Some people may not appreciate it but you can always leave them alone and take satisfaction in the fact that there are others who were and still are wonderful friends that you can meet up with from life to life.

I believe that every person we meet this life, for any length of time is from the past anyhow. That is what the Master's have said. We are just given a fresh start to make things better this time around or build on what we have worked on previously. We can't control the response of others but we can be kind from our end.
