Our Tucson IANDS group meeting will take place on Friday, January 10, starting at 6:30 PM on the Unity of Tucson campus in Room 3 of the Annex (small building to the left of the church—see graphic below) 3617 N. Camino Blanco, Tucson, AZ 85718 (off River between Craycroft and Swan).
The meeting will be moderated by Vic Smith, IANDS member and author (website: victoresmith.com).
We will open with a meet-and-greet to get acquainted and share interests in near-death and related experiences (NDEs). Following will be some further planning for future Tucson IANDS events, including speaker presentations. A reminder: once we get to the major presentation stage, we are always looking for volunteers to help put on events, so think about joining our growing team that is preparing to return Tucson IANDS to its pre-pandemic popularity.
For the specific discussion topic for this month, it is proposed we start with another topic that registered considerable interest on the recent survey: Pre-Life Planning, Reincarnation and Between Lives Activities.
To stimulate our thought processes on these less familiar and sometimes controversial concepts related to the human life-death-after death cycles, I quote the following from Pre-Life Plans, Tasks, and Agreements – Personality & Spirituality
“Why is this happening to me?”— This is a question we tend to ask ourselves when things seem to be going badly wrong, and we are suffering. It’s also one of the most commonly asked questions given to psychics, mediums and spiritual channels.
And the answer given is quite often the same: that before we were born as human beings, we — as souls — planned the life we are now living, including the challenges we are now facing.
We did not do so in order to suffer, however, but as an opportunity to choose not to suffer.
And yet, no matter how much or how little we suffer, the end result will be the same — a degree of growth for our soul. This may come in the form of greater self-understanding, for instance, or greater compassion for others.
The following on-line references from Mark Pitstick, a frequent IANDS presenter is also quite relevant:
Pre-Birth Planning: Did I REALLY Choose All This? – Soul Proof
Plenty of food for thought here although our discussions are not known to lack for fascinating and informative conversation that can result in life-changing insights. Join us on Friday.
We will take a voluntary offering at the end of the session to go to Unity for use of the church’s space. So, bring singles if you have them.
