How much do people equate consensus with safety? How much do tragic events in past lives contribute to an overwhelming need to seek acceptance from a majority or powerful minority?

This is an extremely important aspect in the makeup of each person and a huge influence on their personal happiness and success all through their life. The saying, "No man is an island," is a truism. Everyone needs acceptance and seeks love from others. When one is judged and rejected for being different, being substandard, or in the wrong in some respect, there is a real wounding to the self that is unavoidable and this people attempt to avoid at all costs unless they lack sensitivity and compassion through having a character flaw that limits their ability to feel love and its effects. Reaching a consensus and being accepted by a group consensus is the mainstay of personal wellbeing for the vast majority of people and will be a requisite for a happy life. When people feel ostracized, thought of as second-class citizens, and so on, it will take an emotional toll through adding an ongoing life stress that will be debilitating and maybe even life‑shortening. Any experience that threatens one’s standing, with respect to meeting the consensus view of acceptability, will trigger the deep subconscious and cause it to survey all that it knows about the person’s past and similar circumstances when there were difficulties of a similar feel and consequence. The deep subconscious will survey all the past lives to assess the knowledge base of where a person has been, what they have faced as challenges, and what outcomes ensued. Almost as a rule, there will be many, many lifetimes of extreme stress, suffering, disappointment, loss, and failure. This is because life has never been much easier. One might have a time-out life, so to speak, where they are in a comfortable position and only good things seem to happen, but that is an exception, not a rule. Most lives have challenges, often repeated challenges, with many woundings along the way. This goes into a permanent record and is reviewable by the deep subconscious. In every subsequent lifetime, the wounds, in effect, still exist and will still hurt and can be made to bleed and drain the person energetically and emotionally. The past life traumas greatly outweigh the trauma of the current life almost always. Because they are only in the awareness of the deep subconscious, there is no practical way for a person to get help with this dilemma because of the disconnection of the conscious level of the mind. They can see all the therapists they want to and talk about how bad they feel, but the true causes will not come to light because the deep subconscious cannot tell them, it can only generate more anxiety, more fear, more unhappy feelings, but this will not be informative, just a worsening of things and may even cause a person to shut down if extreme enough. This is the power of the mind and emotion, to be a force to reckon with. People can be crippled by anxiety such that they are unable to attend school or unable to work and are sidelined from life, unable to participate. This is why dealing with the past life traumas can be so important and the key for such individuals to recover and attain the wherewithal to function effectively in society once again, or perhaps for the first time ever. The tools are available to do deep subconscious channeling with trauma resolution and this will allow reframing even seemingly distant past life memories, to allow changing the energetic signature within the akashic records. This allows a draining away of stored negativity and informs the Law of Karma the episode is now neutral and need not be revisited and become an action item of karma to bring to your doorstep to deal with—it is settled once and for all and is a tremendous blessing when this healing can be provided.
