Highlights
Mr. Reality and Psychic Medium Liz Cross discuss Henry VIII on his 535th birthday, questioning his historical portrayal, his motivations, and whether he has reincarnated. They aim to understand if he feels remorse for his actions, including the murders of his wives.
Henry VIII is not currently incarnated. He has had four lifetimes since his reign. He admitted to facing significant karmic consequences for his actions. In one subsequent life, he reincarnated with Catherine of Aragon, dying early from malnutrition, which was a stark contrast to his privileged life as king.
Henry VIII explains his tyrannical behavior stemmed from a deeply entitled upbringing. He was never disciplined and began sexual relations with staff at age nine, encouraged by his father. This environment, where women were seen as objects, psychologically warped him.
Henry VIII describes Anne Boleyn as an 'old soulmate' and claims her beheading was part of a pre-life contract. Anne Boleyn, when channeled, reveals she was ill with pneumonia and sepsis, making her 'useless' to the king. She was terrified of the execution but her soul left her body before impact. In the afterlife, she was relieved to be free of her suffering.
Jane Seymour's relationship with Henry VIII was terrible; she tolerated his philandering and lived in fear of being beheaded, knowing her place. They have not reincarnated together since. Anne of Cleves managed to escape her marriage by going into hiding and changing her identity, eventually remarrying and living a long life.
Henry VIII 'hated' Catherine Howard but was also 'intoxicated' by her rebellious and defiant nature. Her refusal to sleep with him due to his poor hygiene ultimately led to her execution, in part because he also suspected her plotting an escape. Catherine Howard's soul still holds resentment and refuses to reincarnate with him again, but has reincarnated with his brother.
Henry VIII believed Thomas Cromwell betrayed him, but Cromwell claims the king was paranoid and a 'madman.' Henry VIII is described as a psychopath, devoid of empathy, whose traumatic upbringing with no boundaries led to his abusive nature. He even ordered horses to be killed as a child if they displeased him.
Following his death, Henry VIII's life review was conducted by a board member. His grandmother, who had provided some boundaries in his youth, was also present. He showed no empathy during the review, viewing his actions as 'a job to do' and part of pre-life contracts. The board member found his case 'shocking' due to his complete lack of empathy, a situation they don't know how to 'fix'.
There is no 'punishment' or rehabilitation process for souls like Henry VIII; instead, he accumulates negative karma points, hindering his ascension. Life reviews are brief, lasting about 10 minutes in Earth time. He remains disconnected emotionally in the spirit world, isolating himself. He is planning to reincarnate as a homicide investigator, attempting to reconnect with emotions, but the mediums express doubt this will work.
Henry VIII expressed no love for his family or wives, only briefly for a dog which he then shot, highlighting his deeply disturbed nature. The channeling session provides insight into a soul completely devoid of emotion, similar to that of a serial killer, helping to understand how individuals like Henry VIII could behave with such cruelty.
