Q&A Response: “Do I Have To Reincarnate Over and Over Again? I’m Terrified I’ll Have to Come Back!” – Christian Sundberg Candid Response to a Friend

This is a personal message I sent to a friend via voice recording in response to her question: “The thought of coming back terrifies me! Do I have to reincarnate over and over?” She took my response and created this video from it so that it could be shared publicly! I am very grateful!

  • I understand what you want to express, but still find it very hard to consider this life on earth as a role or kind of play when somebody has to go through unbelievable pain like losing a child, experiencing war situations etc. How am I supposed to comfort them? Isn’t it strange or somehow absurd to say “oh, that’s not your real nature, it’s just form, it’s just kind of playing on a stage, it’s duality here but your real state is constant joy beyond the veil!” I do not mean this to be sarcastic at all, it’s an honest question. Sometimes I say something like” I’m sure, you will see her/him again when this lifetime is over”, but many people don’t believe in that or are not aware of their eternal soul, so can you give me some advice? Would be great!

    • When we are under the weight of duality, it rarely does much good to brush it off: It is a real experience (an experience of pain is a real experience). How love calls us to respond to any given situation may be very unique; how we may best help the person next to us when they are going through trauma is not a one-size-fits-all answer. There is a lot that could be said on this topic, but I’ll just lift up one idea: Deep down, each of us tends to sense how we might best arrive with another that may need our support in that given moment and situation. I find that most people tend to actually be pretty good at either intellectually identifying, intuitively sensing, or both, how we might be there for the other who is suffering. This quality of discernment, and ultimately our quality of intention of actually honestly appraising what we can and should do and then acting on it (rather than listen to ego stories or justifications for inaction), is something we develop: the more we actually choose a real loving, compassionate intention, the more clearly we tend to be able to discern how we might best help. Some are ready for intellectual intercession- perhaps including an explanation of what we truly are- but a great many are not: many may be helped very much with simply showing up with alert presence. Alert, present space holding is a great gift. I hope that helps! If it doesn’t and you have something more specific in mind, please hone me in! 🙂

      • Hi, Chistian 🙂

        There is so much going on in this world with the so called “Global Cult” and their world domination plan. What is your take on the matter? As I understand they have a plan to transform, connect and manipulate our minds and physical bodies to a hive cloud spread around satilites around earth by 2030. Even if all that is real, they cant ever touch our souls?

      • I’m sorry sir, this sounds like more fear-based contrivance to me. Consciousness experiences the physical, and no local physical event or configuration can truly harm it.

      • It was a simple question: “Do I have to come back?” The answer is, “No, you don’t.” That was information George Anderson received from a soul on the Other Side. You essentially confirmed it, except you turned the answer into you shilling for your own world/soul view. Did you consider for a split second the experience of your questioner?

        You don’t recall past lives, at least not well. Do you recall being sold into sex slavery as a 2-year-old? How’d the rest of that life go? Your answer is not beautiful; your answer is prevarication. You’re here, we’re here, your questioner is here.

        What was your worst moment in this life Christian? If I described here the worst moments in the lives of family members in Ukraine murdered by sociopathic sadists in death squads I’d be banned.

        Rejoice, everyone. You don’t have to come back.

I am very much behind on messages and conversation requests but I do try to make time where possible to connect with whomever I can, even if spontaneously- though in transparency the next month or so is expected to be ludicrously busy. Have a wonderful day!

  • Christian, this was so necessary for me right now. Your calm, authenticity, and occasional chuckle give so much weight to your message that I am humbled I found you. I can’t help but reflect on where I contributed to another’s pain or fear, and the wave of shame itself feels like it is molding me. The hurt of realizing I am too often the cause of hurt makes the intention to love so real.

    Thank you as always.

    • You have also impacted my life in a very positive way sir! Please let me know if there is any way I can help. I honor your willingness to feel the pain of recognizing where you may have caused pain or fear for others, but also, a “wave of shame” may be quite unnecessary: you are good, even if you are (we are!) in a messy context right now, and realizing how much fear we have. I send you much love today, brother!

      • 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 comes to mind when listening to this beautiful and loving response to a sincere question:

        For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

        I admit, though, that I forget the same reference when I’m in a moment of affliction and am screaming, “Uncle!!”

  • I’m reading A Walk In The Physical and it makes me sad sometimes because I don’t know how to remember/experience the love, joy, and freedom that is my birthright. Right now I am cycling between shame and fear. I feel caught in rip tides and want out, but am so tired of fighting to get to shore. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. Please help.

    • I do not mean to make this following comment sound oversimplified (I recognize that practically speaking it is often not easy to identify). Please carefully (slowly), gently, and deeply explore: What are you holding onto that is not you?

      What stories are you holding onto (associated with)? What thoughts?

      Form association is blinding. This is one reason why a meditation practice can be so valuable: Are your painful thoughts so important that you cannot attend away from them, and look back towards (practice looking back towards) yourself (your consciousness itself)?

      What are the negative self perceptions at the root of the shame and the fear? Those deep, terrible, lasting negative self-perceptions may have been “proven” to you, perhaps time and again through this life and over many circumstances; they may seem like they have a most firm and persistent foundation through a lifetime of evidence. Even so, the negative self perceptions at the root are not true. A useful first step may be to intellectually identify that. But then the second step, when we’re ready, is to actually face them- which means feel them- which means, just feel exactly what has arisen in this moment, both in the body and in the mind. This is about allowing feeling, not perpetuating some small story. The shame and the fear is NOT deeper than you are: the way to discover that is to fully allow and feel it, without trying to get rid of it. Dare to open the aperture (of what you are willing to feel and face and allow). Have mercy on yourself if this feels terrifying: there’s a reason that we bury the root.

      Sometimes the quickest way back to the shore is to accept the present moment so deeply that we stop fighting the current. This allows the (apparently) mighty current to deliver its message. We process by allowing.

      These are just a few thoughts, in case they help! My heart goes out to you, brave sister! You can do this. You are probably doing much better than you think you are. 🙂

      • I’m still drowning and don’t have the strength to figure this out. My mind is so tired, I can’t concentrate. I’m numb. I am in the place I was in when I posted last year, but with less strength. I need to know what happens if I opt out. Will I go back to Source and start over or will I be trapped in my current energy?

    • Hi Jacquelyn,
      one wise remark from a woman who saw me struggle with the same; the feeling of drowning:

      “you may hit rockbottom, but there is one certainty in life, and that is that there is no status quo that lasts more than a fraction of a second.
      So after rockbottom things can only change for the better.”

      I hope this helps a bit.

  • I’ve struggled with depression for a majority of my lifetime to date, and I’ve coped with it by tossing away any piece of myself that I could identify as being potentially vulnerable to it. The only way I’ve known how to manage it is by avoiding anything that could make it worse, which doesn’t work at all – it just defers the issue. At the root of what I know to be me, creativity has always been one of the largest components of myself, and I thought I was protecting myself by removing the things it made me want to do from my life; I was afraid of what depression might do to me if any of the things I loved happened to be targeted. I never realized the long-term effects of those choices, and it’s been exceptionally challenging to try and get back so much as pieces of the joy I used to feel by making things. I have been fortunate, though, as the desire to make music has been one of the few things that stuck around with me; it took a broadside hit during the process and wasn’t left afloat by much, but it’s not gone, and every now and then I get to feel that same joy that feels like it’s resonating from the soul when playing for the odd fleeting moments I still get to experience it.

    Earlier this year, both my best friends passed away. They were basically my brother and sister, I’ve known them both since we were in grade school. They were the ones that were just staples in life, people that were always supposed to be there no matter what. One was in hospice care after many, many years of beating unbelievable odds and continuously fighting medical adversity like a superhero. She fought relentlessly and valiantly, buying herself many extra years through her incredible strength, but her days had been officially numbered. I had a really hard time coming to terms with the scenario, I thought she could fight through anything, but it was real. I thought that, at least, I’d have my other friend to rely on after her passing to help me get through the grieving process. He was going through his own struggles, though, and I guess he couldn’t fight his own fight any longer. I got a call from his brother to say he never woke up in the morning, which immediately turned my world upside down. 11 days later, I got the call that my friend in hospice was not doing well. I managed to get there to go see her, and I got to hold her hand and talk to her about memories we shared while we were growing up. She couldn’t talk back, but she was definitely trying, and her facial expressions were clear that she was listening. Even in that condition, she was still able to smile. She passed that night.

    That series of events reinvigorated my depression to the exact extent that I remembered from when I was in the worst of it before. It was a slow burn to get to that point as it took months for the shock to settle out – I actually thought I was doing surprisingly okay for a while – but once the reality of everything began to set in, I was done. I could not survive another extended duration of those feelings, not again. I had decided that once my parents pass, that was the end of my line, and I was just going to bide my time in the interim. I couldn’t imagine hurting my parents like I just saw happen to my friend’s, so it was just going to be a waiting game.

    I happened to stumble across a few videos regarding NDEs and was immediately intrigued by what people had recounted in their stories. The way these people spoke with such absolute conviction when telling them, the clarity they had when describing their experiences, and the similarities that were consistent among their stories pushed me further into thinking there is more than just ‘here’. I had been going to therapy for my grief, and my therapist had coincidentally mentioned meditation as a potential healing mechanism. I had brushed it off at the time, as some kind of hocus-pocus remedy, but the more I dug into this whole afterlife subject, the more it became apparent of the potential meditation may actually have. I chanced upon a comment in a video mentioning the Journey series by Robert A. Monroe as well, and what an amazing read it’s been so far! Now, I’ve had the opportunity to hear all these amazing things you’ve been saying, Christian, and I couldn’t imagine anything that could be more perfect. A Walk in the Physical is the next item on my list, and I am really, really excited to read it!

    It’s strange how it feels like it’s all coming together now, though. I’ve always been a ‘spiritual’ person in a sense. I never have and don’t see myself subscribing to any particular religion, but I’ve always believed in God. I’ve always thought the truth would have to be much more profound than what could be written in a book or elaborated through words, especially in consideration of our relative infancy in our understanding of the universe around us. I’ve just started down this rabbit hole, and I have so much to learn and do. I’m hoping maybe someday I could experience my own out-of-body experience, or at least be more aware of who I am. I haven’t beaten depression, but all of this new information has definitely re-implemented a sense of purpose that I haven’t felt for a very long time, and I have no desire to give up anymore. I want to ride this whole thing through.

    Without amazing souls like yourself, Christian, I’d still be very lost, but I think now I may at least have a direction to point toward, so thank you, truly, thank you.
