Reincarnation: And the Streets are paved with Gold?

I remember hearing the story form young people who came from Iran when the Shah was deposed in order to stay alive. They had been told, "The Streets of America are paved with Gold". They had no reason to disbelieve this. However, when they arrived to go to college here and for their personal safety as wealthy Shah supporters they were very disappointed that 'The streets in the U.S. are not paved with Gold'.

I was very disappointed being born in the U.S. for a similar reason. When you are living in another incarnation in another country you have no idea what being born and living in the U.S. actually is. You think it is something quite different than it really is.

So, when I was born in the U.S. in Seattle I was so disappointed with what my actual experience was that I found myself dying of whooping cough by the time I was 2. What I had intended to do in this lifetime I realized by 1 or 2 was completely meaningless because there simply was no understanding at all in the U.S. then of even what I was trying to do. So, there was no support system whatsoever to accomplish what I wanted to do for mankind. So, in my disappointment in realizing what a barbaric culture the U.S. actually was I wanted to die as a baby.

Yes. The U.S. in some ways is the most wonderful place on earth. But, what you didn't see in other countries then was the price paid by all Americans for that wonderful place. The price paid is a type of discipline one didn't see in other countries in the 1930s and 1940s when I was alive in another body in Asia.

The reason the U.S. works the way it does is a form of group sacrifice. One didn't see this kind of thing (at least not in this form) in any other country around the world unless we are talking about Canada or Australia. These are likely two of the few countries that understand the kind of sacrifice necessary to make a country like the U.S. actually work for everyone the way it was when I grew up.

So, the rugged individualism that the U.S. is known for is also unknown in most of the rest of the world where individuality was less known by people. Family is the unit that takes the place of individuality in people around the world for the most part. So, as the U.S. celebrates individuality the rest of the world celebrates family and family and group loyalty instead of individuality.

When I was reborn here after many lifetimes in China, India, Tibet, Nepal and Japan it was a shock to me to experience what the U.S. had become because I expected as a baby for it to be something else.

I had chosen well my parents as both technological and spiritual people on the west coast of the U.S. but I realized how foolish I had been not to realize that values were completely different in regard to religion and spirituality than anything found in the whole Asia region of that time.

So, what I had intended to do as a soul had no meaning at all to the people of the U.S. in 1948 when I was born so I wanted to die because I saw my birth here as a mistake at least in regard to what I thought I was here to do for mankind.

Then the religion I had been born into only increased this disbelief of how I was to accomplish what I thought useful for me to do as a soul.

It wasn't until I reached about age 30 that I finally found a way forward to peace and usefulness to myself and to mankind. Part of it was becoming in my 20s a Householder Yogi. (a married father with a yoga of taking care of my family). In this I found purpose, peace and respect from everyone around me. So, as I started businesses starting in my late 20s I found purpose, peace and happiness in taking care of my children and family and in this I finally found meaning enough in my life to stay alive in this lifetime.

Also, many souls from Asia incarnated in the U.S during the 1940s and early 1950s and so we changed the world and the U.S. during the 1960s so the world wouldn't blow up in a nuclear holocaust. We had found our purpose which was to prevent World War III and the permanent end of life on earth. We succeeded in this and so the world still exists today in 2014.
