Karmic tail 21-7-13: The rescuer

In this life

Most often, they choose a profession in which they come to people’s aid every day and preserve lives: medicine, emergency services, firefighting. Redemption can also come through an invention or through books, to which they devote most of their time. The work on oneself never stops, and existence demands effort. As long as this path is followed, things fall into order. If the person decides to abandon it, the method says their strength turns against them and their own existence becomes fragile, sometimes suddenly and with no apparent logic. This is never inevitable: as soon as discouragement sets in, talking to a relative or a doctor, or calling one of the helplines listed on this page is part of the path. When this tail appears in a child, the method advises not to watch over their comfort too much or support them in everything, but to let them travel a lot, gather experiences, and learn from their own mistakes; otherwise the whole family may be shaken.

The lesson

The method invites the person to grow and to help other souls be reborn. It holds that this existence is not turned toward oneself alone: it is made to support others. The person feels carried as long as they hold this role, where they are needed; turning away from it threatens, according to the method, their balance. Every chance to make amends that fate offers deserves gratitude. With children and relatives, the instruction is not to interfere in their development or their choices, even when it is hard.

Either the person rushes to help others to ease their pain, or they try to protect themselves by fleeing and dreading the slightest change.

The signals

• An urge to rescue, even without being asked

You choose a setting where help is expected, a profession, a body of work, a commitment, and you stay faithful to it. Each chance to make amends is received as an opportunity and not as a burden. With children and relatives, you refrain from stepping into their choices, even when it is hard to watch. And when fatigue or discouragement weighs on you, you ask for support without delay: that is part of the mission.

The steps

• Choose an activity in which your help answers a real request
• Before stepping in, check that the person wants to be helped
• Note each week a chance to make amends that life has offered you
• Let a relative move forward in their own way without getting involved
• Talk to a professional or call a helpline listed on this page if discouragement sets in
