Alcoholism, major depression, debilitating shyness or extreme anxiety may all lead to personal failings and even moral wrongdoing that we can neither explain nor ignore. How are we to deal with these failings in our own pasts? How should we think about 'agency' or responsibility in other people who suffer from such difficulties? What does morality require of us in living with these people? In this original and eloquent work, Norman S. Care addresses these questions from both theoretical and personal perspectives, just as John Rawls's A Theory of Justice offered a set of principles by which the members of a society might reconcile themselves to their own and others' failings. Along the way, Care challenges the idea that individuals are masters of their own fate, discusses the 'persona moralism' that enables us to blame ourselves and others, and considers in a positive way the famous twelve-step Alcoholics Anonymous program, interesting because it acknowledges that 'recovery' may not occur for some alcoholics who attempt to follow it. Living with One's Past will be of interest not only to philosophers, psychologists, health-care and social service providers, but also to anyone whose life has been affected by his or her own or others' moral failings.

For as long as she can remember, Sabine has lived two lives. Every 24 hours she Shifts to her 'other' life - a life where she is exactly the same, but absolutely everything else is different: different family, different friends, different social expectations. In one life she has a sister, in the other she does not. In one life she's a straight-A student with the perfect boyfriend, in the other she's considered a reckless delinquent. Nothing about her situation has ever changed, until the day when she discovers a glitch: the arm she breaks in one life is perfectly fine in the other. With this new knowledge, Sabine begins a series of increasingly risky experiments that bring her dangerously close to the life she's always wanted.

Life Is Just Another Class-One Soul's Journey through Past Life Regression Why are we here...again? We chose if and when to go into a new life. We chose this life, our bodies, the people in our lives and what to experience. We chose our lessons for this class we call LIFE. Through free will, we are completely responsible for our life. Take a breath. It's okay. You are not alone. We are all in this together and we have help. Our angels, spirit guides and passed over loved ones are always here for us-we have just forgotten that we can ask for their help. I did not always believe this. As a young adult, I lost my faith in God and religion altogether. Only through working with my past lives did I discover a much deeper sense of faith in God, angels and spirit guides. Do not be surprised if a few of my lifetime tragedies strike a chord within your being as you remember, in some deep way, how you had a similar experience in one of your own past lives. I chose to remember the lifetimes that would heal me from asthma. In doing so, I remembered some very harsh past lives. Aside from healing physically from asthma, I healed many old emotional wounds and awoke spiritually. Heaven is so close to you after you remember a past life death that nearly anyone can experience what it feels like to die and see The Light. Here are a few things that can be related to a past life: Birthmarks, Phobias and fears, Relationships, Talents, Health issues and Love or avoidance of certain objects, people, places or things. Remember, your real life is in Heaven: Earth is just a classroom. Your LIFE is just another class. Join me as I travel through 16 past lives and the emotional, spiritual, and physical healing that has positively influenced my present lifetime. My soul survived a dark energy blast in Atlantis, succumbing to suicide in the 1500s, entrapment in the Scottish Highlands, hanging for witchcraft in Virginia, drowning in the Johnstown flood, gunfire from a New York mobster and burning alive during a World War II bombing in Eastern Europe - yet, I am still here again. I share the true account of my soul's journey through life, death and going into The Light. I relate how it has healed me on multiple levels in the hopes that I will inspire and excite you to go fearlessly on your own soul's healing journey while helping you feel comfortable remembering your own past lives. I am healing the present through the past and continuing my journey as a soul in this classroom called LIFE. I share my experience on entering a Past Life, working Through a Past Lifetime, What Does Death Feel Like and what I saw on the Other Side. My past lives span from 14,000 B.C.-1950 A.D. Each gave more healing to my current life. Including: Living Life from the Heart-Aleena, Atlantis Duty to Family Changes My Lifetime Outcome-Gerty, Europe Tribal Duty in Life, Death, and Rebirth-Hodges, New York My First Attempt as a Spirit Guide-Oogiwah, Cambodia How Could I Abandon You, My Loves?-Kyung Hun, Asia My First Lifetime Remembered Resolves Asthma-Od, Mesopotamia Duty to Parents Continues as Duty in Marriage-Rosalina, Greece Succumbing to Suicide-Sally, Europe Resolving Several Subconscious Fears-Howard, Scotland Finding Equality as a Psychic Slave Girl-Isabella, Virginia Love of an Era Shattered by Heated Tempers-Annabelle Georges, France The Free Will to Choose-Annabelle Montgomery, Ohio.

Can you name several things that you Love and Hate? Did you know they could subconsciously be directly related to a past life? Remembering a past life is very similar to a near death experience.
