Melchoir - Looking forward to the next installment of "Spiritual Squiggles R Us".
Weena - We speed up the process with our response. If people annoy you, look to see what you're expecting from them but not receiving - then give it to yourself. Embody it.
What most people don't understand is that we incarnate for moments. Let me explain. We don't necessarily incarnate to spend 50 years of married life with a particular person. We can place meeting certain people into our lives as an immutable event for whatever reason (i.e. to release a curse, to get married, to have sex, to have children, etc). So when we actually meet them, we might have only needed to express gratitude, to thank them in some way (ie. because they saved our life in another lifetime, helped us out financially, etc) - then anything else after that would be 'gravy', extra.
You mentioned some great pitfalls/distractions! Let me mention a few more. Some people want to go into the Records to find out if they were famous (or infamous). If you do actually find out that you were a celebrity of sorts, and you have a judgement/comparison on your current life, you can make this life seem more meaningless (ie. beat yourself up more, want to only experience the 'important' past life). Discovering resources from other lives that you can use now can be very helpful (ie. artistic, writing, engineering, musical abilities), but looking for 'super' powers (like levitating) can be horribly distracting. Can anyone think of others?
Yes I do offer group and individual trainings.
Rei - Not exactly sure what that experience was about. Did you see a flash of light, a golden ring, and someone whispering "my Preciousss"?

Just kidding. Your intention drives the process. The more open you want to be about yourself, the more you want to live life like an 'open book', the more will be revealed to you in the Records. There aren't any secrets unless we want there to be. And if you love 'signs' in your life as an affirmation about how you're progressing, then you might create that in your Records experience too.
In your case, try slowing down the whole process and ask to receive the information in a way you can integrate. Fast/slow isn't a good/bad thing - integrating a greater understanding is what we're going for. If you're unsure about something, ask for clarity/deeper understanding when it's happening, just as slowly as you would ask your best friend. Just like with life, the most amazingly, transformational experiences can come to you like a whisper - gentle, unassuming, profound in it's simplicity.
Keep playing and let us know how it's going.
