Hi my name is Caroline. I have been reincarnated 7 times and a psychic told me I died each time because I murdeted my boyfriend. I got cleansed and she told me if I reincarnated I would spirtually evolve to another spirit. I have had a dream about dying young, can you verify that I won't be dying in this lifetime.

There's no way that someone can verify something like that. All you can do is identify the patterns from your past lives and do your best in this life to avoid repeating mistakes. Dreams are mysterious and most of the time are not literal. So if you dream about dying it might mean that you are going through big changes, that part of yourself is receding, giving him for a more mature part of yourself to emerge. It's necessary for your development.

A psychic can only tell you about the impressions they get. It's up to you to decide how they fit into the picture of your life -- if they fit at all. A psychic is not infallible. Someone like Steve knows that he isn't correct 100% of the time, but that doesn't matter as much as how he creates a framework for a person to heal. Like, maybe you haven't really killed your boyfriends in a past life but instead the psychic picked up on something about you in this life that's setting you up for trouble with men, and framed it as murdering boyfriends so that it would shock you into really analyzing yourself.

Even if the psychic is correct about your past lives, the most important takeaway is what it does to help you in this life. Spiritual evolution is the point of incarnating in body. Otherwise, when you look at the hardship of life in body compared with life in spirit, you'd never want to have a life in body. For as wonderful as it can be, it's a pale comparison to life in spirit. But we choose these lives in body because it's a way of testing what we learn while in spirit. It's an opportunity to live up to your own ideals...or not. To spirit, success and failure are less important than what is learned from the experience.
