I agree.
I have experienced some scary lows, and ecstatic highs in the last couple of years. It is happening to everyone, and I do believe it is the universe's way of showing us ourselves, while presenting the question- What are you going to do now that you know?
I think it is time for us to reflect, and make plans for our futures...less out of fear, and more out of appreciation for the time given us.
A good meditation, that works for me in this time:

The Who am I meditation is surprisingly easy and insightful... The negative thoughts don't seem to rise up, which is a relief, and I was moved by some of the things I was told about myself...Things I had forgotten, which can happen when others give us feedback...
Also, I think now is a time to speak with as much light as we possibly can, realizing the effects of our words on the ethers. Reciting proverbs or even reading them is such a good practice.
See: The finding of the third eye by Vera Alder for more deep insight in the effects of our words. I hope its still in print. I loooooooooooooooove that book.
In answer to the past lives/ future lives question...I dunno. I have some theories, and do think reincarnation is more than possible, though I also believe we can incarnate on other worlds and in other dimensions, so I am not sure we all have to come back to Earth.
I think what is most important is present life.
I used to project into the future so much, and lament poor decisions made in the past, until all of my studies finally dawned on me... Everything I do now effects the future. So I need to plant as many seeds of light as possible... Don't get me wrong, I'm human, and by no means do I mean a to come off lofty or unrealistic, but the truth is, you either own your mind, or someone else will... The way to start owning your mnd is to know your thoughts and determine what kind of informaion you will subject yourself to.
A saying I love that encapsulates my feelings on this? We are everything we see...
So saying that... I avoid watching or listening to things that disturb my soul. I don't find it necessary to watch the biased slant in the news on a regular basis.
I don't feel the need to engage in needless chatter with people that I am not in harmony with.
Life is meant to be embraced, and we best do that when we are true. To be true you have to know what you believe, and what you want.
I think when we know what we want..we live it, and there are fewer questions. It's all about getting in touch with our center.
Once there, don't let go, and be...
That's what I think it's all about. Because once you know yourself, you find everything you've always wanted anyways.
Have a Stellar Sunday, and a purified week of clarity.
Love&Light
