Recently, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine who spends some of her spare time caring for the elderly. An older woman who was approaching the end of her life revealed to my friend that for her, this life keeps repeating. She said, “I keep coming back, and it keeps repeating over and over again. The same thing.”
I’ve spent a lot of time researching reincarnation, so naturally, this story piqued my interest. It actually reminded me of an episode of American Dad called, “Rabbit Ears,” but before I get into the connection between what this woman told my friend and the episode of American Dad, I think it’s important to begin with something written by Edgar Cayce.
I own an Edgar Cayce book that contains four volumes in one, and the last section is about reincarnation. The second chapter of the last section is titled, If We Have Lived Before, Why Don’t We Remember, and this what Cayce writes;
Did you read these pages from Edgar Cayce?
Well, if you watched the episode of American Dad, then you know that Stan’s entry into the Nighthawk’s Hideaway show begins with him yelling “cannonball,” and jumping into the static.
A cannonball is a type of dive, and I’m sure we’ve all at some point yelled, “cannonball,” before jumping off of a diving board and into a pool. That’s the correlation between American Dad and the example Edgar Cayce shares for why we don’t remember living before. Both begin with a dive or a jump into the unknown that we for some reason, seem so confident about.
After jumping into the static that’s casted on a wall through the back of an old television set, Stan reappears wearing a suit (bathing suit/professional suit), and he’s in an elevator that’s going down. The elevator stops, the doors open, and Stan joins the party.
While at the party, Stan sees his neighbor, Tuttle, who tells him that it’s getting harder and harder to remember anything because of all the rerunning of the same episode (they say that it gets harder and harder to escape the reincarnation cycle because after thousands and thousands of incarnations we forget who we are and where we came from).
When Stan asks the host to leave the party, the host said, “Why would you want to leave? You’re with other night hawks, solar creatures who enjoy mature pleasures. Face it Stan, you’re a sensualist.”
In astrology, the earth element represents the senses or sensualism.
For me personally, that’s seems like a fantastic explanation for why we came here to earth in the first place. We came here to enjoy life, and to experience mature pleasures through the five senses; touching, tasting, hearing, seeing, and smelling. We want to hear music that sounds good, eat great tasting food, have sex, and do all the things we can’t do in the spirit form.
(It’s actually through discovering that we have a sixth sense, that we begin to wake up and realize we have a connection to a different place.)
If you haven’t seen the episode of American Dad titled, Rabbit Ears, then you should try to watch it, and if you do, just substitute our lives on earth with the show, Nighthawks Hideaway, and it all makes perfect sense.
I think it offers and explanation for why we incarnated, why we don’t remember living before, and how not remembering is keeping us stuck in the reincarnation cycle.
Below, I posted a link to a YouTube clip of the episode, but it’s only ten minutes. It doesn’t actually show how Stan discovers the show in the first place, or why he becomes so obsessed with it.
