INTRODUCTION – WHEN THE MEMORY OF A SOUL TRANSCENDS A THOUSAND YEARS
History is not only found in dusty books, nor is it merely silent ruins excavated from the earth. Sometimes, history comes alive most completely and astonishingly through the eyes of a child. But this is not an ordinary child, and what the boy remembers is not the memory of a single lifetime. From the age of five, thanks to his naturally opened third eye, a young boy began to “see”—not just one, but hundreds of his own past lives, a grand chronicle spanning unimaginable civilizations, worlds, and identities.
“THOUSAND LIVES” is not just a collection of disconnected past-life stories. Faithfully recorded by the writer Casey Vale, this is an epic of a single soul with countless karmic paths, yet only one destination. The book not only shatters our conventional understanding of time, history, and personal identity but also poses the most fundamental and urgent question for each of us: Why are we here, in this special era?
A TAPESTRY WOVEN FROM MYRIAD LIVES
The journey of this soul is a multi-colored tapestry, stretching across the most glorious and tragic civilizations of Earth’s history and even more distant realms. Each life is a lesson, a tempering, a link in a long, divinely arranged journey. Let us listen to the echoes from a few of these hundreds of lifetimes:
- The Giant General Guarding the Pyramids: Journey back to an age when Earth was ruled by giants, where the Giza Pyramids were not tombs but great spiritual instruments. In the body of a giant general, the boy once stood guard over the sanctity of these structures, feeling the cosmic energy they received and emitted, and witnessing the knowledge of heaven and earth that this civilization possessed. This memory not only explains the mysteries of their construction techniques but also reveals the true purpose of these megalithic legacies—”echoes” left for a distant future.
- The Prince of a Merman Kingdom: History does not only exist on land. Dive deep to the bottom of the ocean, to a glorious merman kingdom where palaces of coral and crystal shimmered in the light filtering through the water. As a prince, the boy experienced a completely different life, learning to communicate through thought, to feel the ocean’s energy currents, and to witness a society with a unique structure and civilization. But it was also here that he had to face tragedies, choices between duty and love, and for the first time, feel the impermanence of a civilization that seemed eternal.
- A Zen Master in the Tang Dynasty: In another life, that soul donned the robes of a monk, becoming an ascetic Zen master during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Amidst solemn ancient temples, he spent his entire life in deep meditation, seeking enlightenment. This memory is not just about philosophical lessons, but about authentic experiences of other dimensions, the existence of Buddhas and Gods, and the intense inner struggle between one’s Buddha-nature and demon-nature. This was a lifetime of stillness, of wisdom, and of planting the seeds of karmic connections to be met again in the future.
- A Diplomat in the Heart of the Cold War: And then, the wheel of reincarnation brought that soul to a more recent era, becoming a high-ranking diplomat in the midst of the tense 20th-century Cold War. In the world of political calculations and intelligence plots, he had to use his wisdom and skill to navigate between superpowers, trying to prevent devastating wars. This lifetime was a lesson in the complexity of the human heart, the fragility of peace, and how to uphold conscience and moral principles in a world full of deceit and compromise.
Those lives, and hundreds of others—from a craftsman in Renaissance Europe, a Samurai warrior in feudal Japan, to a scientist exploring the secrets of the universe—are not random stories. They are intricately connected links, necessary preparations for a final mission.
THE TRUTH OF A TRUE ORIGIN AND A SACRED VOW
As the tapestry of memory woven from a thousand lives is gradually completed, a great and most shocking truth is revealed. “THOUSAND LIVES” finally lifts the veil on the boy’s true origin: he is not an ordinary soul. He was originally a Heavenly King from an immensely high and glorious celestial kingdom.
But why would such a noble King have to descend to the world, to endure the suffering of the cycle of birth and death? The book recounts a sacred vow that this King, along with countless other Gods and Buddhas in the universe, made long, long ago. Seeing that the cosmos was approaching the final stage of the formation-stasis-degeneration-destruction cycle, and that sentient beings in the three realms faced the danger of being eliminated, they made a great, compassionate vow: to descend to the human world, form karmic ties with sentient beings, and await an ultimate destiny—the moment when the Creator would personally descend to the world to spread the Great Way of the cosmos to save all.
The boy’s journey of a thousand lives, therefore, is not a random drift, but a purposeful descent, a preparation spanning ages. Each lifetime, each role, each tribulation was to temper his character, to form good karmic relationships with countless other beings—who might have been the subjects of his heavenly kingdom, those who made the same vow with him long ago.
CONCLUSION – A QUESTION FOR YOU
Understanding this, the boy’s story is no longer a strange spiritual phenomenon. It becomes a mirror, a reminder for each of us. “THOUSAND LIVES” does not just tell the journey of one King, but it is also asking its readers a question: Perhaps, we too are not ordinary beings? Perhaps, deep within our sealed memories, there are also vows, missions that we brought with us when we came to this world?
Why are we here, in this special era, the era spoken of in all the prophecies, the era of great changes and also the era of the last chance for salvation? This book does not give the final answer, but it hands you the key. It is an epic of hope, of compassion, and of the greatness of life. Turn each page, to contemplate the journey of a soul, and perhaps, you too will hear the echoes from your own thousand lives.
