This book is dedicated totally to God, for being my strength, my teacher, my guide at all times, and I have felt his presence in every detail, every word, and every second of my life while working on this project.

INTRODUCTION

Before, I want to make a deep appreciation to each of the people who are about to read this book, and immerse in an amazing story.

Materialize the idea I’ve always had that by the symbolic we can reach to others even better than in a direct way. Reason way music, tales, movies, paintings, and all ways of art comes in a direct and deep way, filling us with intense feelings and emotions.

The answer is simple, is because through the artistic we use the universal language, The language of the soul

Reason why, this is a story about and for the soul, which will reach many directly for having been written by mine.

Earthly and physically in this life, I have no title to credit me knowledge on the subject. I am not a psychiatrist but I love the topic, and I have read much about it. I’m not hypnotherapist nor spiritual guide. Ironically the title I have is management accounting, which served me for many jobs in my life, and for archiving my title with other important papers in a folder.

Currently working with animals, with whom I have perfect communication, and from which I learned a lot about loyalty, love, joy as curiosity about every detail that surrounds us, and about the real meaning of happiness and love.

The animals are happy about every detail in their lives. When they are given a reward, when you spoil them, or simply by the fact that you get home safely. Expressing their happiness through his jumps, restless movement of their tails, and do not need to talk to convey how much they have missed you, and how happy they are because you are finally at home.

I refer not only to dogs, cats are like that too. Even though many people say otherwise, simply are more reserved and cautious, but that’s its charm, and when you manage to get to them and gain their trust, comes out their true identity. Mysterious and fascinating as full of love.

A tentative dare to take.

But I will not build on talk of my best friends, just wanted to take them as example as they have been to me.

As it was for Ariana (the protagonist) able to recognize where and how often we can find happiness in every detail, every day.

Through this story, I invite you to immerse yourself into the fascinating world of regressions to a past lives, by experiences and possibilities that can enclose them. Transforming our soul in a light full of energy traveling through time. Filling up with experiences, and acquiring wisdom in a process of evolution through situations that lead us to experiment, and learn all kinds of sensations and feelings towards the knowledge, in order to teach us the true meaning of love and happiness.

If you want to know the secret of life, learns from a cat.

CHAPTER ONE

THE DREAM

Ariana woke up that morning with an unusual sensation in her chest. Agitated and trembling she sat upright, still feeling confused—caught between reality and the overflowing memories of a dream. She breathe deeply three times, rubbed her eyes, and looked around, trying to focus upon reality in the room.

At that moment she felt normal once again, and was able to separate her mind from the confusion of emotions produced by her dream. Still feeling pressure on her chest, she tried to recount the strange images she had just experienced.

She had gone into a luxurious room, where everything around was perfectly decorated with objects that had belonged to her at different stages of her life. While her bare feet slipped onto a soft and comfortable carpet, from which she felt caressed by it. As these sensations transported her step by step into a state of relaxation that was increasingly more intense. Her eyes were filled with fascination and deep emotions when she found objects so meaningful, and valuable at certain moments of her life, as countless details already forgotten. Yet they all were surprisingly absorbing when she saw it once again.

After happily walking through the whole room, appreciating and finding again all her belongings in one place, she gazed up, and discovered that on one of the walls towards the back of the beautiful room, there were elegantly placed paintings forming a gallery. Immediately she ran to the wall and tears welled in her eyes; she was amazed to discover that those were photographs and paintings of the happiest and saddest moments of her life that she had experienced up to that moment.

After closely observing these objects one by one, Ariana still felt confused, almost agitated by the sights. She took three steps and by leaning on one side of the wall; a door suddenly opened, and a staircase gets revealed. Ariana looked at it, and decided to sit on the first step trying to put herself together from the impact those images had wrought inside her.

She had not yet adjusted when a bright light lit up the area where the stair ended. Immediately she got up again, and crept downstairs to see what was on that side. Extremely cautiously and somewhere in fear as walking downstairs, she noticed that a light turned on with every step.

As she looked sideways, Ariana realizes the walls were covered with beautiful scenes on paintings, such as beaches with myriad of blue shades like the sea, all very well captured. Another one in which had drawn a green fields with impressive colorful sunsets. Forests with dazzling waterfalls.

The one detail these paintings had in common was a masculine figure present in every one of them, and whether of the shade, the light, or the position of this figure, the only thing not visible was his face. Still, she felt like to be facing that being she had idealized, consciously or unconsciously all her life. That sensation took her breath away.

Despite the fact that she had never seen him before, she experienced such a strong sensation of having found that being so desired by her soul. She approached to each painting, appreciating and caressing those images as if trying to get in to it. Ariana closed her eyes, and as she did was able to experience the sounds and scents of each scene. But just when she was most concentrated, as trying to get closer to him, the entire moment abruptly ended. She couldn’t go any further in her mind.

As she had seen all the paintings, the stairs finally came to an end. Although she tried to return and continue contemplating, but the light shining upon on each picture went off, leaving the staircase in absolute darkness. The steps could no longer be seen.

It was then when she decided to reach the first light she saw before heading downstairs. This light was still on, and led her to an elevator whose doors were open as waiting for her. She walked towards the elevator noticing before entering that it was luxurious, mirrored from halfway upwards, and from the middle down, there was a fine woodwork with psychedelic wrought figures. This was truly peculiar but fascinating, and very well-articulated combination. The beige carpet emphasized identical figures in a darker brown shade.

Once stepping inside, she felt peace and comfort. Her attention was immediately caught when she realized there was no attendant in the elevator. Instead there was a key that when turning, doors got closed, and the elevator slowly begun to descend. Scared by the motion, but amazed at the same time observing each detail of her new transport. Eventually it came to stop, doors opened, and when she looked straight outward, she noticed a paved square, where she could see lots of people walking hurriedly. Two women that passed in front of her wearing long skirts with aprons on top, a shawl tied around the head while carrying market baskets.

The men wore wide trousers, shirts, suspenders and round caps on their heads.

She decided to exit the elevator to better appreciate the scenery, and noticed many people wearing other type of garments, like antique outfits. However they looked elegantly dressed, those were long dresses worn by the women, and fine suits worn by the gentlemen, with hats that gave them a touch of class, stressing the elegance of their lavish garments. It was a sunny day, and the women walked covered by parasols, many merchants exhibiting their products around the square; a big fountain in the middle of the square was the center of attention in that place.

Ariana wanted to continue exploring, but at the same time make sure to find her way back. She looked back to the elevator, and was shocked by the image projected by the mirrors. It was her wearing the same outfits she had seen first on the two women walking in front of her, and a basket was hanging from her arm. When she tried to reach the elevator, the doors shut instantly, and the elevator disappeared, leaving nothing but a set of keys in its place.

She quickly went to take it. As she reached down, Ariana saw an elegant, laced antique shoe stepping on the keys. Those were from the era of the people she had seen. Slowly, she gazed up, and saw a man extending his hand to her. Ariana was not able to see his face well because of the sun’s intense light. She leaned to take his hand and rose.

At that moment, they made visual contact for a few seconds; it seemed like an eternity to her. Silence overcame her, and she felt as though everything began to move in slow motion. The place started to swirl around her head. The man made a sudden movement reaching for the keys, as she slow did the same which broke the magic moment she was experiencing making everything go back to normal.

He broke the silence saying, Here you go.

Smiling shyly she answered, Thank you.

Are you alright? He asked.

—Yes, she replied, somewhat dizzy because of the sun.

He took her basket and said, Let me help you, and come sit for a moment. You don’t look good.

She agreed, trying to organize her ideas, and understand what was going on during that short walk to the benches by the fountain, but there was not a clue.

She sat down as soon as they reached one of the benches, setting the basket to one side, and squatting to her level, he asked again, Are you really well?

Bashfully she looked at him and nodded. He looking at her intensely, smiled and said, I have to go. Get some rest before moving on. I can see you had a rough day.

She smiled ironically and replied, Yes, you can say that again.

He got up and by extending his hand says, Pleased to meet you. My name is Ariel and you are… . ?

She felt disturbed when looking at him discovered she had forgotten her name. In that instant, a woman in her 50’s wearing garments similar to hers approaching while yelling, Gabriella! Where have you been hiding girl? What kept you? We were worried about you.

Then while looking at the man with a stern, and distrustful way asked, What happened?

Ariel introduced himself to the woman, and explained what had happened. He also told her that he had just arrived in town because his father, who was the actual governor, was not feeling well, and had asked him to come and take over.

The woman’s expression changed right away. She cleaned her hand on the apron and extended it to him saying, Pleased to meet you and welcome. I apologize for my reaction, but although I had heard the rumor of your arrival, this is the last place I would have imagined finding you.

He smiled again and reply, "This will be my new home, and I am exploring since I will live here, and besides to do a good job I must know the area I shall rule. Now, excuse me.

He took his hat off, and turned back to see Gabriela.

It was a pleasure to have met you both. He said and left.

The woman asked Gabriella what she was doing talking to him, how she had met him, and what they were talking about. She just looked at her and reply, Everything he told you answers all your questions.

The woman looked at her by saying, Is that an answer to your mother?

Mother! She repeated astonished.

—Yes, mother I don’t know what is happening to you, but you will explain later. Now get up and let’s go. Your father and brothers are waiting for us.

They arrived at a modest but comfortable house. (Ariana) as Gabriela now, was still confused, trying to understand, and decided to discover what was happening. She entered the house. There were three men sitting at the table. They looked at her scornfully, and waited for an explanation of her tardiness.

To her amazement, this time she did find familiar faces playing a different roles. Her father in the dream was her boss in her conscious life, with which she had an excellent labor relationship. At times even creating envy in others, as they said he was very kind and protector with her. He always supported her, and tried to promote her new and intriguing projects.

In her dream, the eldest brother was her best friend in her conscious life, someone with whom she had an unusual chemistry since childhood; it was almost a telepathic communication.

The younger brother was the only one who welcomed her with a smile. After that look they had given her! He also seemed worried. He broke the ice, by asking her if she was alright. She realized in her conscious life, he played the same role as her brother but with a different gender. In her conscious life, he was her sister, and they were exceedingly affectionate, with a strong affinity. Always protecting each other.

Ariana understood that she was living another life, maybe just a dream, but she was determined to find out as Gabriela now. She looked again at her mother, for she was the only one she did not recognize nor felt she had seen before.

—We were worried about you, her father said. Besides, you know we waited to eat altogether. We don’t have much time, and we have to go back to work right away.

Yes, I know she answered, apologizing that she did not feel well, and had stopped to rest on a bench to recover. She explained that she kept feeling ill, and asked if they would please excuse her as she wanted to go to her room. Saying nothing further, she walked while looking around the house, guessing which could be her room; which was not difficult to find, since she was the only daughter her room was decorated in pink shades.

She recognized it by also finding another object that belonged to her. On the bed lay her much-loved blanket which she had kept since being an infant. It was pleasant and comforting, and she was grateful to find something that actually belonged to her consciously. So she embraced it, felt its scent, and wrapped it around herself. Then she sat on the bed trying to understand what was happening. Beginning from the last memory, which was the moment when she lay down to sleep before beginning to dream, and she found the strange secret room which led her to the elevator, and afterwards to this unknown place.

For a moment she thought, "Of course I am dreaming. I have nothing to worry about. I will wake up any moment. Dreams are bizard sometimes. And then she began to fall asleep again, embracing her blanket which was the only thing that linked her to reality. She hoped to convince herself that when she woke up, everything would go back to normal. It would all be just another dream.

But to her surprise, the same night she was awakened by her mother’s screams in the reverie. She was calling her husband and sons desperately. They arrived at Gabriella’s room confused.

Gabriela’s mother said, This girl is burning with fever. That was all she heard, and later on while waking up she discovered that she was in the same place.

Immediately her father picked her up, while asked his oldest son, Help me! We have to take her to the doctor. His house is around the corner and we can carry her.

When they arrived at the doctor, she was surprised to discover another character of her conscious life playing a different role as well. Was her boyfriend Daniel.

Gabriela felt like hugging him, but she understood once looking into his eyes that he did not recognize her. Then she thought, Either this is a dream or I have entered another dimension through it.

He looking at her said, don’t worry, everything will be fine. Soon you will feel strong and healthy again. After hearing these words, she could not remember a single thing until she woke up again, desperately asking for something to drink. He approached and checked her again, and he said that she was fine now and could go back to the house. But she needed to rest a couple of days to completely recover.

Gabriela’s mother, who was waiting impatiently asked if her daughter was not actually sick, why would she had fever or even worst, fainted. The doctor replied that sometimes the fatigue or strong emotions or both things together, make the body react in certain ways as a defense mechanism signaling that you have to take things easy. Then he went back to check Gabriela; by getting closer to her, held her by the shoulders and told her, You are fine but you must calm down and take care of yourself. As knowing that something it was perturbing her peace. You know where to find me if needed. He added while leading them to the door.

Finally, determined to live her new situation until waking up or find the elevator again, she tried to figure out who she was. What did she do, and what was the purpose of her being there? In her outings around town, she found nothing.

Her life was simpler than she expected. One of the things that caught her attention was that she belonged in that place in a certain way. It took her only a few seconds to recognize every person who greeted her; she knew who they were, their names, what they did. Curiously, this did not happen with her mother or with Ariel, the governor’s son.

They all were very kind, and everyone felt she was a dear person. Same with her family, since her father and brothers ran the bakery of a small but curious place. She helped her mother with house chores and bought groceries, among other things.

That day Cristina, her best friend in that place approached. Her mind recognized her that way, and Gabriela hugged her strongly, like when you find a friend after a long time.

Cristina: Why that greeting? Is it my birthday? She said smiling.

Gabriela: I don’t know. I feel as though I’ve not seen you in a long time

Cristina: The governor’s son is assuming his position this afternoon. Will you come with your parents?

Gabriela: This afternoon?

Cristina: (Looking at her with amazement) Yes! Are you all right? You are acting very strange.

Gabriela: (Confused) For a moment I forgot, but… of course… we will be there.

Cristina: I will see you this afternoon then, since I’m in a hurry, (making a funny gesture, continued) My mom is helping decorate the square for the big event, and I must help her.

Gabriela: Wait! And you have seen the governor’s son?

Cristina: Yes! Who
