Shining light on neo-nazism can happen. Recently, I read about an American a white supremist, a singer in a Neo-Nazi band, named Arno Michaelis. He is now the author of a book, My Life After Hate, and works with young people andorganisations like the Forgiveness Project. His story sheds some light on a question I have often wondered about. How does emanating light make a difference to the people around you?

Many people who come to see me for regressions are looking for meaning in their lives. To their surprise, they often find their main purpose in life is very simple. It is not a job, a career or doing thing for others. It is simply “being.” However, there is something special about this “being.”

Simone

One of these clients is Simone, 36, a trainer and coach, who comes to see me because she is tired of the politics playing out at the office. Although, she enjoys her daily work with people, she wants to know her life purpose and her next career step. 

During her regression, Simone is taken to a past life as a man. He is a wise advisor to a King in one of the kingdoms on the Iberian Peninsula, a long, long time ago. The king is a jovial man who reigns over a relatively peaceful kingdom. He greatly appreciates the advice of his respected counsellor who is devoted to the king and the kingdom.

The advisor dies looking out at the ocean on a sunny day. He reflects on his life.

I lived a life of service. My opinion was valued. I was an honest, ethical person and the people around me were like that too. It was a wealthy place and people were taken care of. As well, it had a good energy.

Proceeding to her life between lives, Simone meets her guide in the library. The guide opens her book of life and she is given information about the advisor’s life and its relationship to her current life.

In that life, my job was to teach people to stop being greedy and, instead, to have compassion for each other. That is why it was a happy peaceful place. I helped them understand the importance of contentment and compassion. They saw the sense in that.

Simone’s Guide

Now, my guide is saying that I fulfilled my purpose. In that life, we touched multi-generations with that golden energy all around. The time is after the Atlantis disaster, when the golden light and energy returned. I was to empower others and keep that energy humming. Also, I sensed an awareness of what had happened in Atlantis.

Now, I feel that is my purpose again, to increase higher positive vibrations and light. This time I feel more people are onboard. It is not as hard as we think, if we remind people of connecting. Gradually, people are becoming more aware of what they want and their connection with others. Even just doing this one on one is worthwhile. It sends out energy like a ripple in a pond.

We ask her guides how this will work in her day to day life.

Apparently, I am not going to be told now. In three days, I will know after I sit with this contentment, absorbing and integrating this memory and experience. I need to step into the power I have, and remember who I am. It seems, I have this great light within me. The thoughts, ideas, images and words will come to me just when I need them. It is like a “knowing.” I need to keep trusting that it will come.

Later, Simone tells me what happened. Although, she didn’t get all her questions answered during that session, she found the answer after reading about Arno Michaelis turning away from hatred and violence.

Shining light on Neo-Nazism

Arno experienced a number of incidents that influenced his shift. One memorable moment happened some years before he made the final change. As he explains.

One time at a McDonald’s, a black lady with a radiant smile for everybody walked through the door. She greeted me. I could see her smile alone was blowing my bullshit out of the water. Back then, I had a swastika tattooed on the middle finger of my right hand. I tried to hide it, but she noticed it anyway saying, “What’s that on your finger?” I couldn’t say, “It’s a symbol of my race because I am white warrior for my people.” She completely disarmed me. I just said, “It’s nuthin.”

I radiated hostility, especially towards anyone with a darker skin than mine. 

She looked up at me, “That’s not who you are. You’re a better person than that.” Powerless against such compassion, I fled from her steady smile and authentic presence, never to return to that McDonald’s again.

Arno didn’t forget this woman nor the energy she emanated. It stayed with him as a major chink in the armour he had developed to protect him from childhood trauma.

He finally changed completely when he became a single parent of his little daughter. But he never forgot the sunny woman at MacDonald’s who pierced the protective shield around his heart, reaching the soul he really was.

Now, we know how to make a difference, like she did in the advisor’s life. Being the light she is, she emanates an energy that shines a light on those confused or lost who are open to changing their life.
