What are Good People to Do?
At the digital coffee hour after my online Sunday sermon, we started talking about reincarnation.
I’ve been deep-diving the subject recently through the teachings of Asha Nayaswami, student and friend of a direct disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda. I spent most of my drive time of Summer and Fall 2024 listening to her Karma series, and earlier this year moved into the “Gurus of our Path” series.
My YouTube algorithm is now forever skewed towards the esoteric which brings up all kinds of weird spiritual conspiracy stuff, most of which is just too out there for me. Which is saying a lot!
What I’ve learned is to take the long view on history.
This is incredibly hard to do when the short view is getting rather urgent. And this is exactly what we were talking about at coffee hour. If we are eternal souls destined to reincarnate until we live through every possible human experience, what the heck is the point of all this?
In other words, why don’t people get it that whatever the “other side” is in your fight, you’ll be there sure enough in the next life directly experiencing the harm you dished out.
The even deeper unvoiced question was a lament. Of the compassionate souls I was gathered with, so many were asking how others could cause such suffering in a life meant for such great beauty.

How to be a Healer is my newest course designed to give you the tools needed to provide effective, powerful, lasting healings for yourself and your clients. We’ll cover practices to help hone your skills, develop ‘shamanic certainty’, and truly enjoy your healing work.
I thought back to all the hours of teachings I’ve covered in the past few years.
The primary motivation for anything that happens, it seems, is to give us another opportunity to realize that we are Spirit, and Spirit is us. That’s it!
Now the difficulty is that even you close-to-enlightenment souls reading this still have one super sticky human characteristic that keeps you from crossing the threshold into God. You, like all humans, must experience that truth for yourself; you simply can’t be told.
Don’t believe me? Ever tried to tell your beloved toddler not to do something because it would hurt them? Now you see.
This means that even though many of us can so clearly see how bad the ugliness, harm, and destruction of the world is, we can see it only because in some past life we did it too. And we now know through experience that it doesn’t bring happiness.
So what are good people to do?
Based on the most ancient teachings I can find, the purpose of every experience is simply to show us how bright, how eternal, how powerful we truly are. So when that Sunday morning group asked me as the visiting minister how they were supposed to practice the teachings of the sermon, here’s what I said.
If your soul has decided to incarnate such that you are an adult human in 2025 in this particular country, you are called to be bright in times of darkness.
And these are bad, bad times with true darkness all around. Honestly, there is in many ways very little we can do about the darkness, so determined are some souls to spread it
What we can do is challenge ourselves to shine ever brighter.
I may have come into this life with an idea of an enjoyable path of minding my own business, and yet the times say I am called to more. In truth, Spirit and my own Soul know that I’m capable of more thus the arrangements were made for a 1985 birth in Denver, Colorado.
Now does this mean that just because you are here you must be at the front lines, or arming up with a militia, or actively protesting every week, or whatever else the most intense and extreme forms of resistance may take. No.
But it does mean that you look within your own soul’s purpose and make an unbreakable commitment to your own light.
I’ve heard that the most impactful thing any human can do in service to the healing of our species is to become awakened. When this happens, Yogananda says, souls for miles around are transformed and take a quantum leap towards their own enlightenment. What could be more helpful than that?
Whatever your gift, however your medicine shows up in this life, whoever you serve, now is the time to turn up the brightness. I’ll be right there with you.
