<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once\nupon a time, there lived a billionaire who suffered with an abysmal, constant pain\nin his right leg since his 13th birthday. That poor fellow is none other than I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The pain was so excruciating that I was not\neven able to walk; I had to use a wheelchair. I went to many doctors, took\nappointments with the world\u2019s best specialists. Nothing helped. Nobody was able\nto find the cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once, during a vacation in Australia, a\ndoctor friend recommended a German psychologist who has solved such cases. His\nname was Dr Carl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I took an appointment and went to meet\nhim. He asked me to have a seat and tell him about my problem. I narrated my\nordeal of how I have been suffering from the mysterious pain in my leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then,\nthe doctor asked, \u201cTell me something about you. Did you ever meet with an\naccident?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\nI never met with an accident,\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay,\nwhat about your dreams then? Tell me something about them.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHmm\u2026\ndreams, hmm\u2026 Oh! Yes, nowadays\u2026 by the way, every day, I have these strange\ndreams.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow\nthat\u2019s a very important point. What happens in your dream?\u201d Dr Carl asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\nsee a person, a bearded person who looked like a highway robber. He was on a\nhorse. He also had sword dangling from his robe. He looked fierce and\ndangerous.  Then I see a police officer\nwith a gun, chasing the robber! But before I can see what happens next, I\nalways wake up at this point.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\nthink I know what it is! It\u2019s all about your past life,\u201d Dr Carl said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\ncontinues, \u201cThe reason for this pain is hidden in your past.  I\u2019ll use \u2018Past Life Regression\u2019 on you and\ntry to solve the mystery. I will hypnotise you and visit your past life. This\nis the only way I see to solve this case.\u201d I took my time, thought for a while\nand agreed to his plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 He asked me to relax myself and sleep. I just don\u2019t\nremember what happened next.  I was in my\n\u2018WONDERLAND\u2019. When I got up, Dr Carl told me that he has solved the mystery. He\ntold me, \u201cWhen you were unconscious, you told me everything about your past\nlife.  In your past life, you were a\ndacoit. Your name was Rambo who used to loot homes with the help of his 40\nthieves. But after looting people for many years, Rambo had become rich and his\n40 thieves betrayed him. They gave all the information about their chief to the\npolice. And then, one day, Inspector Roy tracks the location of the dacoit. Rambo\nsees the police officer heading towards him. He is frightened. He breaks into a\nrun. In a hurry, he forgets to take his gun with him. Inspector Roy runs after\nhim. The dacoit is running for his life and the officer is after him. After a\nlong run, Inspector Roy points his gun at Rambo and shoots a bullet at his\nright leg. Rambo falls down. He cries in pain and pleads with the officer to\nspare his life, but a merciless Inspector Roy does not pay heed to his cries and\nleaves the dacoit to die a painful death. Thus, the bullet from his leg was\nnever taken out and this is what is causing you pain even in this life. Don\u2019t\nyou have a spot on your leg which can establish my claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Then I ran\nmy fingers on my right leg and there I found a spot which exactly looked like a\nbullet hole. A smile broke out on the doctor\u2019s face. Both he and I were happy\nto know the cause behind the pain. Further, I asked him whether there was a\ncure for it or not. He sighed and said, \u201cNo, There is no way out to cure this pain\nas medicines didn\u2019t effect it.  I am so\nsorry.\u201d I pleaded with him and said, \u201cDoctor, please find a solution to this\nproblem. I am ready to pay you as much as you want. Money is not a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 After pleading much, he said, \u201cOkay, I have\njust got an idea. My friend is a scientist and he has been working to invent \u2018A\nTIME MACHINE\u2019 for three years now. If he has successfully created it by now,\nthen I think we would be able to take a step further to find a cure to this pain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We went to meet his friend, Dr Albert in his research center in Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Doctors greeted each other with a warm handshake.\nI told Dr Albert about my problem. And surprisingly, he was happy to hear about\nit as he had not yet tested his newly invented time machine. So, we all\nstepped  into his time machine and Dr Albert\ntook us to the time and place where \nInspector Roy was about to shoot the dacoit, Rambo on his leg but before\nhe could do that we reached there and pushed the dacoit out of the way and the\nbullet missed its target. We quickly took him on our time machine to a safer place,\nhence, saved him. He thanked us and promised us not to loot the people again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time we reached the research centre in the present time, the pain in my leg had gone, it just vanished. I was so happy that I reached to my cheque book determined to thank the doctor and the scientist. What a relief! The mystery was finally solved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
