Today we explore I’m on Assignment! by medium and empath Diane Marie Taylor, a spiritual self-help guide that asks a simple but profound question: What if your already living your life’s purpose even if it doesn’t feel like it?
Welcome to this edition of Newsgram.
The other day I was watching TV when, out of nowhere, my dog got up and stared into the kitchen like someone was standing there. He does it all the time. Just freezes… locked in… focused on something I can’t see.
Science will tell you he’s not seeing spirits — that pets are simply more perceptive than humans. Better hearing. Way better sense of smell – which is true but it got me thinking…
What if there’s more going on around us than we’re aware of? Spirits, ghosts, apparitions, alternate energies — whatever you want to call them — if you believe those things may exist, then what would you do if you could actually confirm their presence? If you could communicate with them?
Well… guess what. I found someone who says she can.
Diane Taylor was born with abilities she didn’t ask for and didn’t fully understand at first.
Diane: I was born gifted. I was born a medium myself. I was able to see beings in the room that other people couldn’t.
As cool as that sounds, it didn’t exactly make growing up easier.
Diane: I got tired of being made to feel like I was weird for mentioning things that other people couldn’t see. So I just kind of shut that off.
She says if she’d had someone to help her understand and develop those abilities, she might never have turned them off. Still, the curiosity never left and neither did her interest in spirituality.
Diane believes we all have intuitive abilities to some degree. Some people are just more sensitive to them. Others ignore them or talk themselves out of them.
Her book is written for people who are questioning where they are in life. It’s for adults who sense there’s more meaning beneath the surface. More purpose. More continuity. Because according to Diane, we’re not just here by accident and where you are now is not the end of your story. You are part of something much larger.
Diane: We are eternal beings. We want to think that we’re human beings that have a soul, but it’s the other way around. We are eternal beings that are trivially living in this meat suit.
And so as an eternal being, of course we have soul mates, just not in the Rom-Com sense.
Diane: We have to stop thinking about soulmates in terms of what we think of with Valentine’s Day and this romanticized version of it. Because honestly, our soulmates are really annoying creatures. They are the people that we made agreements with to come here on Earth and nudge us along with our assignments. So they’re not going to be the friends that are telling you what you want to hear. They’re going to be telling you the things that you need to hear. And you know, they, they hold you accountable. And sometimes you don’t want to hear it. Because you made the agreement that I don’t care if I throw a fit on this such thing, I need you to push me so that I can keep doing this. And you might resent them in the moment, but in the long term, you’re going to love them for it.
If that’s true — if we’re eternal beings with lessons to learn — it would seem like a waste to only get one shot at it.
She believes reincarnation isn’t just possible but it was once widely accepted.
Diane: At one point, reincarnation was written in doctrine. It was pretty well accepted, and people understood this. And then, next thing you know, it’s been erased from doctrine, and people just don’t seem to believe in reincarnation anymore. But there are some of us that do, because we’re just sensitive enough that it’s like, yeah, there’s a lot more out there than just this. There is no way that my entire existence could exist simply on this trivial 75 years that I have here on earth.
Not only do we return, she says we do it with help. Spirit guides. Soul groups. A kind of unseen support team that helps shape our path.
Diane: Yes, without a doubt, we reincarnate.
One mystery remains: if we’ve lived before, why don’t we remember? Diane believes we do, just not consciously. She says unresolved memories can surface as unexplained fears, strong preferences, or an immediate sense of familiarity with someone we’ve just met. That stranger who seems awfully familiar? Maybe they’re not a stranger at all. They could be someone in your soul group that you shared a past life with.
Diane: If you want to equat v e lifetimes with going to college, you’re not going to go to college in just one semester and take one course. You’re going to take several courses over several years, and eventually you move on. You get to graduate. That’s what our lifetimes on earth are like. It’s important then to understand that. There’s no way we could complete all of our lessons in just one lifetime.
At any given moment, she says, we are the sum of everything we have ever been, carrying with us both wisdom and unresolved trauma. Which makes perspective important. If you’re feeling pessimistic and negative, try and shake it off.
Diane: It would be easy to get sucked into that negative vibration where we’re thinking, poor me, and I’m worried about the next thing and the next. If you want to stay strong, you’ve got to find your center. Find your center, stay strong, and just go with the flow.
Find your center, stay strong and go with the flow. Pretty good words of advice no matter what you believe.
If the struggles we face today are echoes of past versions of ourselves, then growth means learning how to move beyond them. And yes… sometimes that means shaking things off.
The book is “I’m on Assignment! An Alternate View of Past Lives, The Impact on Our Current Lives, Soul Mates, World History and the Akashic Records” by Diane Taylor and before we go I want to address that last part.
Diane: The Akashic records, that would be the record of everything that you’ve ever done in not only this lifetime, but other lifetimes as well.
Having a record of everything I’ve ever done across multiple lifetimes sounds a little frightening.
But the big takeaway here is this: you are more than this moment.
You are more than this version of yourself.
More than whatever chapter you happen to be in right now.
And maybe the things we can’t explain — the familiar stranger, the fear that makes no sense, the feeling that you’ve been here before — maybe they aren’t so strange after all.
Maybe they’re reminders.
That this life isn’t random.
That we’re not just passing time.
That we’re part of something larger than what we can see, measure, or fully understand.
And maybe… just maybe… there’s a lot more going on around us than we realize.
