My Past life in Japan was revealed a little more detail of how and where I lived and other details that I had not known and the clarity of how the word Samarai not only described my husband’s service or the meaning “one who serves” but other details as my trip progresses. Everyone’s soul has a story and relationships and closure does happen in other life times and the patterns of behavior or relationships are explained in my example of my soul journey in Japan…a pocket of time dimension and grateful for the revelations to come. The Goddess Amaterasu calls me ‘Child’ and had revealed information during our bus ride to Takayama. Here are the following details:

Your name is Tashiko.

Your birthplace Takayama, Japan.

Parents were rice farmers and affluent. 

You had a younger brother Yuich iko who with  iko is added to his name as a cute way reference  the youngest and mischievous and you looked after him. 

He was not interested in farm life and wanted to go to the city.  He said his dream was to live the city life and left when he became of age.

How you secretly wished to be the wild one but you were the eldest and your father taught you skills of protecting yourself, the family and village with ninja stars, bow and arrow and knives. You were to dedicate service from the beginning to your village.

You would deliver excess rice to the needy and elderly and temple monks.

The feudal system began and your father wanted his only remaining child to be able to protect herself, family and village and had you deliver rice dressed as a man so the danger of the times was upon them.

Your father had a friend and supported him or sponsored him because they made little money as samurai and had to have side work who was an  excellent at sword fighting and he would come for dinner as your father was so proud of your skills and had you show them to him and the man admired your skills since women not trained openly but at home.

You were trained by your choice as your father wanted this and your mother agreed

Later he told the man he would provide you safety as his wife. 

Thirty (30)days before your 20th birthday you were to decide to marry him or not. 

Your brother began his journey in thievery of the rich by charming and gaining their trust then stealing behind their backs making sure he was presented to be elsewhere and was a good liar and manipulator and you never saw him again and got into drugs and addiction. 

When the 20th birthdate came; you decided it was best to marry your Samurai sword teacher and he was older than you.

Your father had an excellent reputation and the Samarai regarded him highly. 

You became a Samarai and guarded the people and village in complete service and that’s why your husband sometimes complains to you in this life because you have that same trait and he has the same focused on service at any task at hand.  He says, “You think only of other people and your children from this habit.” The same words back then in that time period.

Then your husband was to travel long periods to uplift new Samurai and teach balance as you were guarding the village and you slew many in service. You were delicate and feminine but hid weapons in your clothing and unassuming because you did music, tea ceremony and flower arrangements that the typical Japanese woman would learn to be a good wife. Another trait of the Japanese wives to to accommodate husband’s guests and family and host even if he is not present and they show up impromptu and keep records and alliances with family members and make sure it is recorded..the gifts, occasions, events, etc.. 

Your husband passed of a heart attack away from you  and then later your parents died when they fought to defend their village and you were heartbroken and inherited the rice farm and made it a Samarai training center as the students worked the land. You left a note asking forgiveness but your heart broke four times losing your brother, losing your husband and losing your parents and had no children and committed ‘harikari’ cutting the  belly, heart and throat and hoped you would be forgiven for your service in the home you and your husband shared.

During your service…The ninja visited you and would protect you and you feared when the emperor changed you would no longer be useful and they would get rid of you if the new emperor desired this and the Shogun would agree and approve. Only the Shogun could give these orders and he could decide to go against the emperor’s wishes in terms of battles and those in service.. 

You were bored of the typical Japanese woman skills. Your father knew you were made for being a samurai and your husband looked like Iman  and Haseena’s old karate Shotokan school teacher but the husband you have now explains why he presents himself older and more serious at times. Perhaps he was drawn to your soul and was once a samurai in service and encountered you but you married your husband arranged by your father instead…this explains when he was attracted to you but didn’t know why and you tried to help in his business but stopped for rumors you were having an affair were being passed but not at all.  He wanted to appear in form and look like my husband to find me but my husband has stayed with me through lifetimes and it’s the souls that know each other.

Visited the Hida no Sato Farm (thatched roof) Village. The communal house of a man who you were fond of his compassion.  I had, in past life, sat on  a boulder across from his home but it is no longer there. I would sit and reflect by the water after taking a sack and cart to deliver rice to needy, elderly and for community gatherings. Cattle were cared for and horses valued highly as heavens messengers. Horse paintings for well being placed to keep the horses and cattle well and positioned depending on if they were inside or outside. There were Jizo statues of Bosatsu (meaning ‘bodhisattva’) as guardians of all living beings and rang the temple bell with a bow and prayers. High quality rice in this region and sake. Memories keep coming.
