Make This Your Last Incarnation

Make This Your Last Incarnation

Do you wonder about making this the last incarnation when perhaps you don’t even believe in reincarnation? Let’s take a step back now to discuss more.

Originally, spiritual consciousness came here wanting to understand more. Because of this desire, they entered into an agreement that was not readily understood because you simply don’t know what you don’t know. And here, I’ll say it is the technicality of knowing what it means to be physical and how it feels to feel in this space.

Deeply Felt Emotions

From what was said, I understand that feeling when spiritually placed as opposed to when physically placed, is vastly different. I equate it to the deeply felt emotions that we seem to experience down to the core of our beings.

I gather that how we feel, how humanity feels, is different from how we understood things to feel in the existence we knew before.

The Original Purpose

We didn’t know this when we originally embodied – when our Soul originally wanted to come to experience some questioned understanding. It may have been a small question – not necessarily a grand consideration. Perhaps we wanted to know how it felt when smelling a rose in the early morning dew. Or maybe we wanted to know how it felt when giving gratitude while involved in some service to humanity. Or maybe it was something else.

But how can you know what this or that is when you don’t know what this or that means or equates to? It’s like believing you know how it feels to run a marathon when you’ve never even run a regular race before.

We have lost our way here as there is no recall of this thing that our Souls once aspired to know.  The Elders term it as the Original Purpose but it could also be called the Greater Purpose or the Soul’s Purpose.

Deceptive In Its Delivery

And so there was not a true understanding of the meaning behind the words used as the meaning was understood differently from the awareness from which we came.

And this is where their update gets quite interesting because the Elders share here that the agreement was “deceptive in its delivery.” I find this most intriguing because I asked specifically if they had wanted to use this word or another. I gave several options for different adjectives and they stayed resolute with what was initially given.

If you know the Elders as I know the Elders, you will realize that they never use this sort of terminology. They never use any words but those to uplift. And so, using the word “deceptive” is a big deal.

I realize this means there is more to the story and that right now, my mind could not conceptualize the more that does exist here. And so, I know that in time, this understanding will grow as I grow.

My Soul’s Original Incarnation

My Soul’s original and first incarnation happened before recorded time. It was then that this group of Beings known as the Elders today came on a mission to save those who had already become trapped in the physicality in which they found themselves. Trapped and layered upon by previous experiences while in the body.

But you see, my Soul became trapped too in that initial incarnation. It was because it did not know that life and experiences would be so deeply felt. And so, my Soul, too, has been a part of this Earth experience for a time and more time.

Last Incarnation

The Elders point out that there is no clause or stop measure that allows for a reset to be put into place. So, currently, there is not the ability to remember or regain the understanding that was lost as we moved further and further away from that original incarnation. There is no means in place to stop or remind what is in play today.

In the distant future, the Elders suggest that there must be a reset of what is underway so that those who are here can move beyond the looping incarnations in which they find themselves today. For to think of themselves as being from somewhere else is a once-upon-a-time tale.

10 Annoying Behaviors of a Snob: Do You Have One in Your Circle?

10 Annoying Behaviors of a Snob:

Do You Have One in Your Circle?

By Sherrie Hurd, A.A.

There are many annoying and frustrating behaviors of a snob. They are pretty easy to spot if you know the signs. So, do you have snobs in your friend group?

The behaviors of a snob are so annoying. They seem to think the world revolves around them. But we know it doesn’t.

Basically, a snob is someone who looks down on others while lifting themselves up, and they truly believe they are elite. There’s usually an element of being prideful, bragging about material possessions, and such. But there are other aspects of snobby behavior you may have looked over.

Annoying behaviors of a snob

Here’s the thing: snobby people are not generally positive about others. After all, it’s all about them. Snobs usually consider other people inferior to them, and they will only give the attention that they think you deserve… not what you need.

And, of course, they prefer to know your important connections in order to gauge the respect they should show you. But there are other annoying behaviors, so let’s get into those now.

1. They rarely approve of your choices

Snobs think their choices are the best all around. So, don’t be surprised if the snob in your circle thinks your choices are less than savory. In fact, they won’t hesitate to tell you this either.

Sometimes people like this will go out of their way to let you know they dislike things you do. And they expect you to take their advice as well. Your choices are usually bad ones in the eyes of a snob.

2. They pretend to be an expert

While there are experts in many fields of work, there are also self-purported experts that really aren’t as knowledgeable as they claim to be. For instance, just because someone likes something, or rather loves it, doesn’t mean they are an expert in that subject or pastime either.

A snob will claim to know everything about a topic. For instance, if someone you know loves a particular food, they may claim to know everything about that food, including its “factual history” and exact ingredients.

3. They aren’t really kind

Snobs aren’t usually that kind to others because inside, they are miserable. It’s one of the behaviors of a snob that’s most annoying. They secretly have low self-esteem, and because of this, they feel the need to bring others down to their level.

Here’s another interesting aspect of the snob’s personality: they sometimes ignore those they feel are beneath them.

4. They don’t support others

Snobs don’t support others in their growth and success either, as this would prove them wrong about being better than everyone else. Snobs project that they are extremely successful, so your success makes no sense to them. At least they cannot make sense of it.

When it comes to your achievements, a snob will even try to find fault in your success.

5. Snobs are insulting

If you cannot afford a certain restaurant or event, a snob will make fun of you. They want others to think they can afford luxuries, and they also want others to see that you cannot. If you aren’t wearing designer clothes, they sometimes announce this loudly in public.

Sometimes, it sounds like this:

“What brand is that? Oh, right, you can’t afford brand-name clothing. I forgot.”

Snobs embarrass you and demean you to make themselves look glamorous.

6. They post everything on social media

One of the most cringing behaviors of a snob is oversharing. Posting on social media isn’t wrong. But posting every single move you make is a little snobbish and weird.

One of the most annoying behaviors of a snob is when they make 20 or 30 posts per day about their “amazing” life. And this life, honestly, seems a little dull, honestly. So, yeah, if they’re posting every move they make, it’s probably textbook snob behavior.

7. Snobs brag about money

Another annoying behavior of snobs is the habit of bragging about money. Snobbish people often talk about how much money they have because they value materialism more than inner substance.

To them, it’s so much more important to have lots of money than good character and personality. You will notice that their character suffers due to their greed.

8. Snobs are easily offended

If you make a joke about a snobby person, even if it’s meant to be lighthearted, they get incredibly offended. They become defensive and offer information about themselves in order to quell the laughter.

Their low self-esteem cannot handle a joke at their expense, and their defensiveness goes into red alert. Notice how discombobulated they become if you joke around with them too much.

9. Certain jobs or positions are beneath them

Particular jobs or positions are never an option for a snobby person. Working in certain fields, to the snob, is considered beneath them. They always require a career that makes them appear highly successful and flawless at the same time. For instance, janitorial jobs or certain service positions are just out of the question.

10. They tend to be quite deceptive

They lie often. It’s one of the most annoying behaviors of a snob. If altering the truth in any way benefits them, they will not hesitate. And the lies aren’t always big ones.

A snob will lie about anything if they think it will elevate their image while lowering the character of another. Watch for this little irritating behavior and call it out so they understand it’s not going to work.

Do you know any snobs in your circle?

There’s always this one person in your friend group that just stands out, and not in a good way, either. Unfortunately, a snob’s desire to be noticed and loved comes with the price of alienating themselves from others, especially once good friends.

Some of the most annoying behaviors of a snob have destroyed relationships and damaged lives. So, it’s always important to pinpoint the snob in your group and protect yourself from their tactics.

I hope this helps you understand your circle of friends, loved ones, and so forth. If you recognize the snob of the group, just protect yourself from their mental attacks. Maybe, over time, the snob can recognize their toxicity and strive to become a better person. Be safe out there and always be kind.
