But who don’t believe in reincarnation don’t think that that’s the way the universe works. And I run into and I’ve interviewed people who don’t who are spiritual people, which is why I mean, I’ve interviewed them. But But how do we take control of the process that was really the Am I understanding? I thought, And that gives us a different responsibility than just you know, we reacting because most so much of our activities are reactive, you know, we’re just reacting to what comes our way which is mean, which means that we’re working through karma from past actions. What do we want to create for ourselves? I mean, we are the shapers of our life. And through the whole process, I began to more consciously think about the future. And to and to know that, that what they’re doing, that they’re in control of their own destiny, so to speak, that their past shape, the present, and the present shapes the future. And I My hope is that, well, there are a number of hopes one is that would help people overcome the fear of death. I mean, you know, it was, I struggled a lot with whether to share this openly or not, because the very personal stories.

And I, I must say that I have I mean, it’s a very well written book, she’s a good writer, and good speaker of addition to reading this whole book, I’ve listened to about five hours of her talks over the past week. In 2014, she was awarded the Nirvana Peace Prize over the year in Japan, over the years as memories of past births have arisen, Dina has recorded them in order to better understand the karmic patterns, she has now shared her memories in this book, my journey through time and the hope that others will gain insight in to their own lives through this sharing. That’s the point I’ve been bringing up in many interviews over the years, Dina has served on the boards of Harvard University Center for world religions, the International Center for Religion and diplomacy, dharma drum, mountain Buddhist Association, among others. And the way to address them is a shift in consciousness. The premise for the gatherings organized by GP IW is that at the heart of all these issues, is a spiritual crisis.

I mean, she has vivid memories of a number of past lives and has kind of understood the connections between them, and how they all kind of lead into the life she has been living this time around, in which now’s Now’s my chance to read her bio here, in which she has been working in the interface field for 20 years and founded the Global Peace Peace Initiative of women GPI W in 2002. But then as I read her bio and began reading her book, I guess my first impression was wow, this is much about much more than reincarnation. We’re going to talk about reincarnation and haven’t really talked about that topic much on BatGap. And my first impression was, oh, this will be fun. And I began poking around in her book, my journey through time. I just sort of turned my attention to her last Saturday after finishing the previous interview. And I don’t even think about ones in coming weeks beyond that, and so hadn’t really thought much or tuned into Deena or anything.
