Interesting Information

ANSWER: Are you living in a different reality from family and friends? Yes. Is that wrong? Depends upon your perspective. To you, you are who you choose to be. The ones who tell you that you are crazy are the same people who want you to accept their vision of life blindly without questioning its application to yourself, and to “just do it.” Is it your “fault” that you will not cave in to their desires? Well, yes, it is. In your choice to honor yourself and your feelings, you have created a chasm between yourself and the school of think-alike fish who are your family and friends. They see your life as wrong because you will not join their group without questioning their direction.

Does this make you wrong? Absolutely not. Following your innermost directions is part of your journey of life. Your journey is distinct from that of everyone with whom you have come in contact in this life so far. You have wasted your time in trying to get them to listen to you and understand your decisions for your life. They are not ready to be where you are.

Even intimate situations you have entered have involved those most like your family because you thought that was what society is all about. Divorce yourself from the need to be accepted by them, which you have confused with their loving you, and venture forth. There are people out there who relish being with those who know enough about themselves to choose to be different from the throng.

Your first step is to get comfortable with yourself. Understand your wants and desires, and then go looking for them. Don’t let the ideas of others influence your life. Stop thinking in terms of things being either right or wrong. Start evaluating whether you choose to be doing what you are doing and being who you really are.

ANSWER: Dreams often try to assist you with your awareness and lessons in life. Here your higher self was using familiar objects to let you sense what is going on all around you. Hens represent your life-blood, both food and produce. Raccoons, with their masks, represent the world trying to steal from the sleepy and unwary. They come under the cover of night, or when you are not looking, to help themselves to your livelihood.

Above all, these are your guides who can help you to see and plan for preventing the thefts. White is the color of protection and the light of spiritual connection. The birds were used because most people think of angels/guides as having wings. Most are pure white and assist you in learning about your non-physical aspects or the essence of your soul. The Hawk, with its dark earthy markings, is there to give you help with the physical world and to explain the connection between the physical and the non-physical.

The fox represents the physical help that is available to you to see the root cause of your life-lessons, and how you may not have seen what it is you need to do. These are the healers and lightworkers of the world who are very much in contact with Source. All of this came to you to help you awaken to all the possibilities for understanding your life-lessons that are currently troubling you.

ANSWER: During the time of Mr. Spalding, it was common to bring new thoughts on spirituality from Eastern lands into the West. Mr. Spalding never physically made the trip mentioned in his books. He never spoke with the Masters he refers to in his books in human form. That does not mean he never received information on the concepts contained in his writings from learned ascended masters.

Spalding’s interest in these teachings began with his membership in a group called New Thoughts, which began in the San Francisco area in the 1920s. He found a heartfelt connection to the teachings and wanted to share the materials with the world to show humans a new way to appreciate and understand their journey on Earth.

Being a writer, he understood the appeal to American readers of information from a human source originating in a mysterious, under-visited land. He took the teachings he obtained from the organization, plus help he received through his meditations, and wrote his books.

In other words, he did speak to, or was counseled by, ascended masters from the nonphysical world via channeling. Fearing that channeling was seen to be carnival fodder, he chose the travel story instead. He was renowned as a teller of tall stories, but that was never associated with his writing until after his death.

The importance of these writings is in the understanding the reader can glean from the words. The origin, fact or fiction, matters little; what matters most is the impact on the soul. These words open the vibration of the human body to a taste of the enlightenment of the unconditional love of Source.

The implementation into one’s life of these beliefs is at the discretion of the reader. You can take what you need and leave the rest.

ANSWER: With few exceptions, the rare attachments of one soul who has left its body and does not want to return Home to another’s body being the most common one, only one soul may inhabit the same body at one time. If you think only in a linear fashion going back in time to live a pre-determined existence would seem to be two souls within the same body. But what we are referring to is the ability to undergo the same experiences in a slightly different, or parallel, lifetime with the one you wish to recreate.

It is very much like a well-known play where the lead role is played by different people in different cities, but it looks identical to the audience. The performance of actor two does nothing to change the actions of actor number one. Time is not linear when going from soul to soul.

An individual soul will have memories of what it has done in another life – that is why your past life memories of uncompleted life lessons can affect a subsequent life. That energetic holdover affects only the individual and not anyone who is sharing either a prior or subsequent existence, so the activity of someone from your group does not change your actions unless you choose for them to affect you.

All souls still have freedom of choice regardless of whether the life is one chosen from the “catalog” of previously lived lives or something new they dreamed up themselves. Say you wanted to be the first man to step on the moon. Your performing that in an alternative dimension does not change Neil Armstrong’s legacy of being the first in this present timeline.

You are influenced only by the dimensional timeline you chose to enter. It is possible to replay an event several times to explore alternative outcomes without affecting anyone but the one you are presently running through.

ANSWER: The biggest problem with giving instructions to yourself while awake, in the manner of controlling your dreams, is that once you are asleep, the unconscious mind is in control. Your unconscious is the residence of your higher self, or soul. You may think that you need or want to do one thing, and your soul may think that it is better for you to try something else first—or, maybe, that your desires are not appropriate for you at that time.

The pain in your hands is partially caused by your determination. When you want something desperately enough, you clench your hands into fists, putting pressure on the nerve endings. If you crick your wrist sharply enough, you cut off all feelings and circulation to your hand and the area becomes cold from lack of blood flow. Learn to relax and not be so invested in the outcome of your nightly activities.

You must learn to be a little more patient with yourself. You are doing wonderfully. Your guides are there to help you and to choose some of the experiences you are having. There is a lot more going on than you remember when you awaken. It takes time to train the conscious mind to recognize what is important for you to recall.

As you become more proficient in using your dream time to remember things and how to do them, you will get closer to opening your akashic records for examination. All past lives will then be available for review. Start each sleep cycle with your desire to experience something, and to remember it when you awaken. But don’t forget to allow your inner direction to take you where it is important for you to visit.

The cycle of the planets and the shifting of electrical impulses are allowing all humans to more successfully use their essential energy. You can communicate better, interface faster, and understand more. Happy travels!

ANSWER: Miracles are not an everyday occurrence or they would not be called miracles but rather considered to be normal events. There is no one place or authority who declares what is or is not a miracle. The definition of a miracle is sometimes a matter of dispute between people and their belief systems. People have begun to accept the “miracles” performed by modern medicine, and the faith-based changes positive intentions can create within a physical body.

With the story of the baby, things are not as they seem. Several people had specific motives for “observing” what they reported. If you go back and read all the reports generated shortly after the birth, you will see at least five different recordings of the events of that day and previous intentions of the people involved. With all of the facts in front of you, see if you then “feel” within you that it is a miracle. If you feel it is, than ask yourself what it means to you. If it does not make you sense it was miraculous event, then let it go and don’t give it any more thought.

Dreams can project your fears of life. Do you want to be strong and fearless? Your dream will allow that. If you have doubts about your abilities, that will also creep into your dreams and you will find yourself wanting. Dreams will pinpoint your fears and doubts, showing you what your life lessons are and what you need to work on. Faith in your self and your abilities is a lesson for you. You need to define who you think you are and who you want to be.

Your different personalities—while being upset as opposed to when you are relaxed—are showing you what deep fears are inside. You shut yourself off from the world when you are upset so you cannot be hurt. You do not like to feel vulnerable. When you are not under stress, the ability to interact in a loving and normal way opens up. If you work on those hidden fears by seeing what has caused them, you will be able to have a balanced and fearless existence.

ANSWER: You observed your grandmother with two of her guides who met her when she transitioned and were assisting her with her acclimation back into unconditional love. All souls need a period of time to get comfortable with leaving the heavy physicality of Earth behind and floating in the lightness of a lack of judgment and ego. Their glow was purity; her glow showed she still had some slight negativity clinging to her. It is all gone now.

The conversation had to deal with her good-byes and wishes for you to go on with your life’s journey. She was saying she would be around in a bit to advise you if and when you needed her. She also wanted you to know you had all the strength required to complete your tasks. Your unconscious remembers word for word; your consciousness didn’t need to have the knowledge.

The snake is the symbol of death and rebirth. It is familiar because you have gone through the process many, many times. It is the representation of healing and resurrection. Snakes are a part of the medical caduceus that doctors have used since early Greek physicians to let others know of their skills. You have a little bit of healing to do with your thoughts about your grandmother and death in general.

The snake came to you to let you know this was a planned death and to remind you that it only involved the physical body because the soul never dies. It will rise and have another Earthly experience when it is ready.

ANSWER: When humans are small they aspire to glamorous and highly regarded futures with little or no knowledge about what such a life or profession entails. You have the fantastic ability to change your choice of work or profession at any time. Our question to you is: why do you feel you have to grow up? The way you are using the phrase, it sounds like a dead-end place from which you cannot escape.

Passion is a concept that all aspire toward but not many find. It simply means you have found something—a profession, family, hobby, belief system—that excites you to the point at which nothing else matters in your life. It pulls you through your daily life. If you have a lot of life lessons you chose to complete in a lifetime, you may never get around to a passion. Some of those around you who you think have found their passion have really only discovered a way of making a lot of money, have fun at their job, or do as little work as they can and still get paid.

Your belief system, which was given to you early on, is what makes you think you have an obligation to be of service to your community. That is nice, but it doesn’t help you complete your lessons or learn anything about yourself. Relax! What feels like something you want to do? Start manifesting what you seek. It will come if you need to experience it.

Your dream was an introduction to the way you first met that guide. Once introduced, you don’t have to keep repeating the past. Develop a present. Establish communication with the guide—who doesn’t want to remain forever in Egypt. Bring the guide into the now.

ANSWER: The Merkaba has been known as long as man has been on the Earth. The Zulu believe they came to Earth from another place via their Merkabas. We like to refer to the Merkaba as the soul’s “light body.” It is represented, for the human mind, as a series of three star tetrahedrons located around the physical body. The innermost is the containment vessel, while the outer two are the propulsion chambers, which when rotated variously clockwise and counter-clockwise allow the soul to transport the body anywhere in the universe of time and space.

The primary role is that of enlightenment and ascension. Its purpose is to transport the entirety of the soul and its wisdom back Home when an incarnation is finished. It is not a vehicle that can be activated at will, unless and until the soul has reached the state of awareness of its essence so it may remember how it all works.

Many procedures have been put forth allegedly teaching people how to activate their Merkaba, but success is measured in their awareness and purity of intent. It is possible to use it to travel within and between the various dimensions, even the third dimension. Aware human beings don’t need to activate their Merkabas intentionally; they simply need the intention to transport their awareness and self to a different location and they are there.

[Toni writes: A modern interpretation and explanation of the Merkaba can be found at http://www.floweroflife.org/tmerkaba.htm.

An excellent though incomplete explanation and history of the Merkaba, is at http://www.spiritofmaat.com/archive/sep2/merkaba.htm.]

ANSWER: A soul, in its energy essence, has the ability to be in more than one place at a time. Bodies are used for the purpose of learning life lessons on planet Earth and take most of the soul, and almost all of the awareness, to fulfill that task. When engaged in a teaching/learning process, the soul can only do one “in-body” at a time. It is impossible to be in total awareness and incarnate in more than one body at a time.

Those who have experienced past-life regressions, where they project themselves back into a prior incarnation, get the idea that they are living both at the same time, but the actual learning process is occurring in only one at a time. The visitation is to a re-creation of the studying done in another time and place.

When it comes to the choice a soul makes as to incarnate-type experiences, they may do so in any Earth time phase of their choosing. History buffs in the twenty-first century may get intrigued by life in the seventeenth century and decide their next life should be there – that is, if they remember it and it still seems important when they are making choices for a new life. One may also choose a situation in the “future” time of where they are currently existing.

Souls are omnipotent when it comes to choices and settings. Each has a council of twelve other souls who help them set up the parameters of the future learning scene. Again, no one makes the choices for the soul, but plenty of advice is available for the asking.

ANSWER: A soul may choose to take a human life or the life of some other being. Earth is the only place where there is a dichotomy of energy—positive and negative. It is the only place a soul may choose to experience negativity so in order to learn the essence of the powers it possesses. Other souls, in other forms, often come to watch the “show.” They may make themselves known to humans, or they may stay just a little out of synchronization with the planet so they are invisible to humans. Most humans do not see them even when they are in synch; they don’t believe aliens exist so they don’t acknowledge them.

Who would punish you if you didn’t go to a church? Churches are religious organizations run by humans with sets of directives of their choice. Negativity only exists on planet Earth so no one outside the physical realm imposes any penalty (a negative element) on souls once they leave the human body. There is no punishment once you return to Home to your nonphysical essence.

Same thing with Hell. It does exist on planet Earth, but nowhere else. The nonphysical world, Home, Source energy, whatever you choose to call not being in a body, is composed of unconditional love and nothing else: no negativity, no jealousy, no judgment, no retribution, nothing at all negative.

The derivation of the word sin is really ignorance. Your thoughts about sin come from the religious organizations and are a means of controlling your thinking. “Sins” may have to be paid for while you are on Earth, such as being in prison for a crime against society, but when you leave, you are once more in unconditional love where there is no negativity. Even criminals are forgiven when they have served their time.

The soul has total freedom of choice so you may choose from moment to moment the experiences you desire. Nothing is absolute. Each soul is broken off from Source and therefore has the abilities of Source to create whatever it desires. If you pray to a being outside yourself to intervene in your life, it does not happen. If you encourage yourself with affirmations to use your innate abilities, it is fruitful so long as you have no doubts.

Dreams have a multitude of purposes—too many to cover in this one answer.

ANSWER: Sleep paralysis is a condition in which one gradually becomes aware consciously of their location but cannot move their body or use their voice. It generally occurs while returning to awareness from a sleeping or deeply relaxed state. There are many causes for this, both physically and spiritually.

Physically it can occur because of substances consumed by the person before retiring, such as alcohol or drugs. Sleeping pills are a huge factor. A person who does not have a regular schedule for sleeping, resulting in sleep deprivation, will also find this occurring. Sometimes the position of the body during sleep contributes.

Mental and emotional conditions have a large impact. If one is depressed, sad, anxious, uncertain, or fearful, sleep paralysis can be seen as a way to flee from having to deal with the world. Illnesses, particularly those involving the breathing process, contribute. Genetics and PTSD can also influence.

On the spiritual level, a person who is actively communing with their guides during their sleep cycle finds it difficult, on occasion, to return to the present life because they are in the middle of something in another realm. The physical body needs rest and relaxation time daily, but the soul never sleeps and goes wandering while the body rests.

Out-of-body experiences, astral projection, and sometimes even remote viewing can cause a person to sense that the body is separate from the “mind.” Once a person becomes aware of this phenomenon, they recognize it more frequently though it may have been happening for some time. When the period between awareness and movement of the body is short, some people don’t think anything is preventing them from moving and don’t imagine paralysis is present.

If a soul has been off visiting with other souls, the sensation of another being present is palpable. In wandering the nonphysical world, one encounters malevolent as well as benevolent beings. A spiritually aware soul senses the energy of those nearby and can detect both positive and negative vibrations. No discarnates have attacked or attached themselves to you.

ANSWER: In more than 99% of sleep walking, the body is taking instructions from the conscious mind, which is assuming it is still awake and in total control of its body. In other words, you are acting out the dream sequences that your mind is mulling over. It does not occur as you see it in your cinema, with the body holding its arms straight out and walking like a zombie. Rather, the body is slowly pursuing some normal activity that the consciousness would direct were it aware of its surroundings. Your occurrences were such as these.

In astral traveling, part of the soul leaves the body behind and travels away from the physical. It goes places and in ways that the body cannot. The body remains in a sleep state and awaits the return of the soul’s awareness.

In fewer than 1% of instances, a discarnate—a soul that has left its own body but not returned home—may enter into another’s body and make it move around. In this case, the owner of the body would, on waking, be aware of a second occupant. Such a discarnate would not be a very powerful one; it would be able to take control of the body only when the original soul had gone into a sleep cycle.

ANSWER: While the physical body needs time to rest and rejuvenate, the soul does not. To sit all night inside a body that is unconscious is wasted time, so your soul goes visiting. Sometimes you will visit friends, other times relive a section of a prior life or try out an experience that you have observed others having.

Your higher self is the unconscious aspect of the human body that contains your memories and history of experiences. These experiences include things that your body has done or observed. These observations may be of actual occurrences or ones recorded by others, including movies, novels, and the imaginings told you by these people. The physical experiences are also contained within the brain.

The body may be involved in one activity while your higher self is involved in another. Your mind may be replaying a sporting event you participated in, while your higher self is learning about expressing unconditional love in various ways. Since the mind is in control of the physical body, its activities may be reflected in motion within the body while mostly asleep. This may be movement such as in walking, or it may involve a talking out of the situation the mind is working through.

That is not to say that the higher self never has an impact upon the physical body while it is at rest. It may, but it rarely does.

ANSWER: Before the invention of reaping equipment, farms required huge numbers of people to bring in the crops; in the beginning, a large portion of them were slaves. Before the invention of the printing press, manuscripts were copied by hand and only a minuscule part of society had an opportunity to learn to read. Before the invention of airplanes, traveling any distance was time consuming, costly, and available to only a few.

Each age of change increased the ability for greater numbers of people to become more aware of the rest of the world. As the planet shrinks, with no place to hide because all information can be made available almost instantaneously through news media and now the Internet, there is accountability like never before.

Instead of creating social unrest, technology is doing more to bring political and financial discrepancies out into the open. Country leaders and policies, which used to reside in dark and secret hallways, are being revealed and called to task for their actions, leading to the general public’s having a say in their own leadership.

Technology in industry is replacing jobs, just as in the above-mentioned periods of advancement, creating pools of people who must be retrained or educated to fit into the new society. Growth, enlightenment, and advancement demand the increase in knowledge and technology.

Flexibility in thought and expectations will allow all degrees of people to be integrated into a well-run society. Holding on to the past and fighting improvements will stall growth and assimilation of the new with the old. Many choose to hold off change, being “comfortable” with the present. See improvement as an exciting, potentially fantastic time, providing opportunities never before experienced.

ANSWER: Vivid dreaming such as you have experienced has several points of origin. Some of the incidents that you remember are from popping back into the energy of lives you have had before – past lives. Other equally dynamic occurrences have come from scenarios you have read about or things you have seen in movies and on television.

Anything that generates an emotional impact, whether from participation or observation, burns itself into your memory. You throw yourself into your interests, particularly those with which you identify, and they then become a part of who you are. You have the ability to visit any of these things at any time you wish.

Go into a meditative, mindless state (allowing all thinking to drop away) and envision yourself stepping out into an adventure. You will be totally involved in whatever your unconscious believes you would like to experience. It will be “real” and vivid to your conscious mind.

Now do the same thing again, but before you begin, look at a picture or documentary about some place you have never physically been in this lifetime. When you drop away from your thinking mind, you will find yourself transported to the place where your last interest was fixed. This is not to say you have never spent time there in another life, because there will have been some reason that you chose the scene you did. Just have fun and don’t try to analyze your trips.

ANSWER: We are not in a position to be able to relate too much of what happened to Charlie in your physical world because of complications that are still ongoing. His soul has always been aware of your concern for him and is grateful. He knows that his life as your brother left a lot to be desired. For this, he can only say that you both were aware of the possibilities before you came to Earth.

Charlie’s soul was paying you a visit the other night. He has developed an ability to astral project and travel to the places he desires at will. He would like to see you in person, but it is not possible. Over the years, he has felt your love and it has buoyed him up through difficult times.

He asks you to travel with him some time. Relax as you fall asleep, and have the intention that, if he appears, you will go with him. Most of his time now is spent in a condition very near to unconditional love, so he feels your love and returns his to you. He will not always be aware of your immediate thoughts, but his higher self will know what you are thinking and sending his way.

ANSWER: Twin flames, after separation from Source, stay together for only a short time before they start their separate and individual life-lesson-filled journeys. There is no guarantee that they will even meet during a human incarnation unless it is pre-planned for one or both of them to learn a particular lesson. In most physical cycles twin flames do not meet.

The way a soul develops is a freedom of choice decision. There is no structure to the manner in which an enlightenment or a discovering of awareness occurs. One twin is not held back if the other is having difficulty with a particular lesson and must repeat it numerous times. They may choose opposite, parallel, or the same methods for learning; there is no absolute and only way. All souls have the essence of unconditional love.

The action of becoming a walk-in occurs when one soul has made the decision to return home, at which time his body would die. Another soul may ask for permission to use that body—or walk in—so that it skips all the maturing a body usually needs. Once the original soul vacates the body it never returns to that same body. It is going home for a reason and goes on with its business, completely forgetting about the body it left behind. Two active souls do not have control of and share a single body. Walk-ins enter a body to finish their own work, not to be available to help someone else.

You have not, in this lifetime, met your twin, who is not currently in body form.

ANSWER: The Akashic records are the energetic recordings, sometimes called celestial reports, of everything that has happened to all the souls who have spent time outside of Source. Anyone in soul form has access to all these records without exception. This allows a soul to see possibilities of things to do while incarnate on Earth.

Once incarnate, a soul is no longer able to access the records at will. A few enlightened souls have the ability to tap into these files to assist themselves or others. Their intention generally needs to be for the highest and greatest good of all. Accessing records for curiosity alone rarely, if ever, occurs.

ANSWER: Souls don’t always come down to a new incarnation with total amnesia of their past exploits. The only thing they absolutely don’t remember is anything that might prevent them from learning all the different aspects of the lessons planned for this particular life.

A teacher will not give a student the answers to the exam before she has taught the class because the students would not pay any attention to the lessons and therefore would not learn anything new. So it is with life lessons. If you know what you are going to learn through an experience, and it has anything you might consider unpleasant, you are not going to go ahead and subject yourself to the situation.

Frequently it takes more than one lifetime to complete a particular task. When you must start at the beginning each time, you find different and, potentially, better ways to complete the necessary activities with each retake of the lesson. Knowing beforehand what will come might speed things up, but you are more likely to merely repeat the beginning of the failed lesson rather than trying a new approach, because you have done it before.

Amnesia presents an opportunity to go into your feelings and sense the most beneficial way to do something instead of going into your head and seeing what previous experiences you have stored there.

ANSWER: Only a very small number of souls choose to inhabit animal bodies –  somewhere around one to two percent of all living people. Souls who choose an animal experience generally do so to have the opportunity to understand the peculiar characteristics that define that animal.

An example is a soul who chooses to be an eagle. They get the chance to feel the freedom of soaring high over the land. Their eyesight is incredible. They experience being a predator, observing, catching, and living off of tiny animals. A life as a cheetah is about adapting for survival – being able to run for distances at terrific speeds, the excitement of a chase, the moment of the kill.

Domestic animals such as dogs, cats, horses, etc. are chosen for their intimate contact with souls having human experiences. Frequently the animal soul has made some type of agreement with the human soul to be there to let them feel unconditional love as only an animal can bestow. Sometimes the pet is a guide in disguise to always be present and give encouragement to the human.

Animals may also want to see if they can fend for themselves in a human world, to get a different perspective on what responsibility for one’s actions looks like. During their lifetime, which is considerably shorter than a human’s, a pet goes through phases of learning, being controlled, experiencing manipulation, and being in a perfect position to be present as a witness for their owner’s life lessons.

Your boyfriend’s dog does have a soul within. You are not from the same soul group, but you did share a life with this soul where you were the best of friends and always had each other’s back. You talked about meeting in this time so that you would be drawn to the unique energy of animals and learn to interpret their personalities and needs. You read both regular animals – those merely animated by a spark of unconditional love energy – and those few who are souls.

ANSWER: The simple answer is no. In addition, not all souls have contracts when they incarnate. Many just decide what lessons they wish to study and set up environments that will allow them to have those experiences. A soul is always exactly where it needs to be to have the learning it desires.

Even if a soul has made contracts with other souls, they are not permanently unequivocal. One party or the other can choose to change the conditions and go in another direction. There are no predetermined absolutes in a human lifetime. And a soul may end their Earthly experience at any time they wish, whether or not they have learned all they set out to accomplish.

These factors are true because every soul has complete freedom of choice to decide each phase of their human incarnation. That said, if you had made a contract with someone, they could determine that they no longer wish to fulfill their promise. It doesn’t happen too frequently, but you can never make a soul do anything it does not choose to do.

A soul bothers with contracts only when they are determined to have a particular experience. They normally will only make one with another soul with whom they have had prior lifetimes so they are pretty sure the circumstances will be completed.

Unless a soul has decided they want a short life, or has agreed to leave at a special time or under certain circumstances, the exact time the soul returns Home is not determined before the life begins. The soul makes that decision when they sense it is no longer beneficial for them to remain or they wish to leave an unproductive existence and begin another.

ANSWER: A walk-in is a soul who takes the place of another in a body after the original occupant has decided, or made plans, to go home. The incoming soul makes the exchange so it does not have to go through a long and tedious childhood when it already has an idea what it wishes to immediately pursue. An example would be a soul who wishes to be a psychiatrist and notices a soul about to leave a licensed doctor. It would ask for permission to use the body to avoid having to go through childhood and 16 to 18 years of schooling and residencies.

Having the exchange take place at a young age, before the departing soul has learned or accomplished much, does little to advance the purpose of the incoming soul to avoid choosing its own body and living situation. However, while we do not see this as a practical event, it is possible.

The earliest exchange took place with an 8-year-old prodigy. The incoming soul wished to experience the intensity of the talent (musical) and the loneliness of not having any peers with whom to socialize. It was known that this would be a short-term life since the body was in ill health and had several disabilities.

Even in this case, the parents were aware of a difference since the new soul was unfamiliar with the family dynamics and had a massive turn in health as the old soul’s body was ready to stop existing. In general, the incoming soul gets most of the outgoing physical memories, but each contributes from its own past lives in living the shared life.

Not everything that happens in human life is the result of contracts. Some family lineups occur because the parents are engaged in something the child wishes to be a part of. The parents are ready to have a child, so the soul hops inside without any specific agreement.

ANSWER: Our main message, which we are teaching through Masters of the Spirit World, is that of reincarnation. It is possible for a soul to choose to spend a life as an animal. (Our channel has chosen to experience lives as a dolphin, a black panther, and an eagle.) It is not a very common occurrence to go inter-species, but some souls wish to have the abilities that only come with an animal existence. The decision is completely made with freedom of choice, and has nothing to do with behavior in a prior lifetime.

Karma, as we use the word, does not mean retribution or punishment. Karma is the energy that radiates out from the event experienced by an individual. It is recorded in that soul’s akashic (celestial) record for future reference, but it does not predetermine future lives unless the soul itself makes the specific decision to make that energy a part of another life. This decision can be either conscious or unconscious.

A conscious decision to have the energy from one life affect another may come, for example, if the soul has experienced causing someone to become a cripple and has watched the problems the person had. The soul might then choose to see how it would fare under the same circumstances and would plan this into its next life.

An unconscious decision could occur when a soul has previously decided upon a particular life-lesson and then has not completed it during that life. It will then have the energy of that incomplete action still firing in its aura or energy field. This may cause a more difficult example of the same lesson to pop up in a subsequent life because it had not finished what it desired to accomplish.

Even with the unconscious uncompleted activity in the background, the soul may choose to skip a lifetime before tackling it again. Freedom of choice, not karma or prior intentions, determines your next life.

ANSWER: Earth funerals are for the people who remain after a soul has gone Home. At the time of transition the soul may be ready to return immediately to its place at Home, or it may be confused and need some time to realize it has left its former body-shell and that it can float and go wherever it desires. A soul may cling to Earth because it feels it is needed, or it has some unfinished business it must complete.

When the soul clings to Earth it definitely attends its own funeral because that is the site of all the people it is seeking to remain near. If it has transitioned Home immediately it may check in on the funeral to add its energy to help family and friends grieve. But if it is confused, it does not even realize what is happening, and attending a service is the last thing it would think to do.

A final service is for closure, for those who remain to see an end to their physical connection to the deceased. It may also bring the beginning of awareness that the soul lives on, or trigger a point of introspection for the human to learn about the journey of each soul through the stages of life and death. It is with the recounting of the life of a friend that you realize just how complex and interconnected all souls’ journeys really are. You may also get a feeling of the contracts you had with the person and how they played out for both of you to learn.

Whether souls attend or not, they have no vested interest in what takes place at the service. Most attend to touch those in attendance energetically as a way of saying a last earthly “Goodbye.”

ANSWER: There are a number of things that cannot be seen, explained, or recorded in human terms because they are not physical in nature. To believe in the existence of the soul—and for that matter, all other energies such as us—you have to go outside the third-dimension physical parameters and enter psychic and emotional avenues. Several things are recognized by all as existing even if they fall into this realm: love, intuition, personality, and a force outside you.

DNA has only been recognized as having to do with genetic characteristics in the human body since the 1950s, yet it was contained in every human species from the beginning of time on planet Earth. In the physical and non-physical dimensions of a human body, there are 12 strands of DNA material that carry information and determine characteristics of the human and the soul. Some scientists have recently suggested that they have seen one or possibly two of these additional strands.

Everything in your universe is composed of energy, and energy is everything. Therefore it takes energy to change something into something else. Geneticists have proven they can influence DNA by introducing a new factor into the mixture. They are experimenting with determining sex and physical characteristics, and with cloning an entire being. Many toxic substances interfere with DNA and other processes in the body and create mutations. Remember all the three-legged frogs found over the last several years?

As a soul goes through its journey on Earth it doesn’t need all its gathered wisdom at first, so some of the DNA strands are closed off. As awareness of self increases, the soul can use prior knowledge, and access to the DNA provides a link. Not all of this takes place in the third dimension. It is impossible for your scientists to observe a non-physical action with their instrumentation.

Gravity is a physical thing. It is the attraction between two physical masses. Since physical masses exist only in the third dimension, it is a third-dimensional phenomenon. It is measured by time/space standards, so it has variables that must be considered. But for the soul, it exists only when you choose to be physical.

ANSWER: Do souls have a sexually significant gender? That is are they either male or female, a male/female hybrid, or sexless? No. What you understand as a person’s sex is part of the duality of planet Earth. Outside of the dimension of Earth there is no duality—no opposites, so therefore no sexual differences. A soul has all the characteristics that are emotionally considered to be male or female on Earth, all in one package.

When humans channel they can only interpret the vibrational information they receive in terms of their own human experience. If they have never been exposed to the understanding that an entity such as a soul does not need to have a sex, they may feel obligated to assign a sex anyway. This is because, in their knowledge base, all beings have a sexual orientation.

Since a soul has all of what you consider to be the characteristics of both sexes together in a single container, the energetic feelings of any portion of that container are both male and female. If channels access the female energy they will think you are female. If they access the male energy they will swear you are male—yet you are energetically both. You have chosen to spend this experience in a female body.

When you are at Home, you are a soul without a specific sexual designation but with all of the feelings that enable you to play either role, as you choose, whenever you come to Earth.

ANSWER: A soul is an energetic being that has no physical body, unless or until it chooses to manifest one. With no body, it has no physical human DNA that would be carried from lifetime to lifetime. The history of the soul is reordered in an energetic akashic record that memorializes everything the soul has ever done while in a human body or elsewhere.

Blood lines are the human DNA that defines the characteristics shared by a group of relatives of the same lineage. A soul rarely chooses to experience the same lineage time after time. When getting ready to go into a human body, the soul decides what lessons it wishes to learn.

Most of the time the way the lesson will be played out depends on the body the soul chooses. It will not be able to experience, say, racial prejudice unless it is born into a body that is in a racial minority. Joining a family where abuse – whether mental, physical, or chemical – exists will make it easier for the soul to have that experience. If it reincarnated within the same blood linage, the soul would be very limited in the lessons it was able to set up in a lifetime.

Several human generations ago you were in the same lineage. You wanted to have the parents you have now so that factors were right for the lessons you have undertaken.

Life lessons are peculiar to an individual. If you learn a lesson and get the wisdom of the situation so that you can continue to use it in any subsequent life, it is for your benefit only. If you did not finish a lesson during the incarnate life but resolved it during a past-life regression, you can also take advantage of that wisdom and carry it forward. It is yours, though; that wisdom does not extend to anyone else in your lineage.

ANSWER: The fetus has a DNA template provided by the biological parents whom it has chosen. This DNA supplies physical, ethnic, medical, and physical sensitivities and propensities to the developing body shell. The soul has its own history, carried in its DNA created by the previous life experiences recorded in the Akashic records.

The physical DNA characteristics are imprinted within the physical body, while the historic DNA is in the etheric body and may be called into play, or not, as the soul sees fit during its lifetime. These both may act as blueprints for the development of the person, depending upon the soul’s freedom of choice for the experiences being sought.

There is a third thing that can come into play in determining characteristics and afflictions, based upon the soul’s freedom to call things to itself through its intention. When something that is not already part of its blueprint from parents or from past history is desired, the soul rewrites its blueprint, with its intention to change the direction in which it is heading.

For instance, a soul may have a propensity to be addicted because its biological blueprint is for an addictive personality, and it has had past lives as a drunk and an obsessive compulsive. But, as this person grows up, that addictive personality realizes that he (or she) is destructively addictive because he never wanted to take responsibility for his actions and was running away. He then develops a strong sense of self-worth and responsibility for every aspect of his life and rewrites the blueprint, through intention, that he is a well-balanced, non-addicted, responsible individual.

ANSWER: This man is very lonely, manipulative, and controlling. He has many women he communicates with online. He finds it a game to find a way to place a “hook” into women so they will do his bidding. He knew you were very spiritual from your exchanges. Knowing you believed in reincarnation he was trying to use that as a way of holding on to you and getting you to do his bidding.

His “children” would have soon told him about your unrequited love for him in that life that is affecting relationships in this lifetime. He would then have suggested a way to clear this negativity by demonstrating your love for him in this lifetime. He would have presented the whole affair as a service he was providing for your betterment and something to which he, himself, was indifferent.

The reason it doesn’t feel right to you is that the whole thing is a fabrication. He is trying to see how many conquests he can achieve. He uses his marriage as an excuse to never have to make any commitments or let you into his personal life.

The distance you sense is one created by realizing that he is a liar and can no longer be trusted. You have freedom of choice to maintain the contact with him if you choose, but you will learn no more from a continued connection. This was not a contract between you, just part of a lesson you sought in trust—both being able to trust others and trusting your own powers of intuition.

A. As we have discussed in the past, time is an invention of your planet. It only exists, as you know it, on your planet. Your time is based upon the rotation of the Earth around the Sun, one full rotation being one of your days, separated into 24 hours, each comprising 60 minutes, and each of these divided into 60 seconds.

We have also commented on the energetic nature of the soul that enables it to be in contact with more than one dimension or one reality at the same time. Some of those writers would tell you that the idea for their script came to them during meditation, where it just seemed to appear. Others would say that they remember visiting another location during the dream state, where they observed the aforementioned situations and instruments.

We have also talked about the Akashic records, which are compilations of all the experiences that each soul has personally undergone in its current and also former lives. Once a soul becomes aware of its eternal essence and its connection to the universe, it is possible to tap into those past experiences and bring them forward into the current life.

Because time is a construct of Earth, “past” lives may actually be in a future time frame from where your consciousness is presently focused (2008). When you take all of these factors into consideration you can see all the possible ways that your current knowledge could have become available to others forty to sixty years ago. This is also the same way that, over 150 years ago, the Australian Bushmen drew pictures of the Universe from a perspective in space.

ANSWER: This is primarily a matter of semantics. The various nuances of the English language, and the common interpretations placed upon certain words by different groups, are very confusing. For all practical purposes the spirit and the soul are one and the same. Whenever one experiences something, the other shares in the benefits.

If you want to get down to specifics, soul is the term that has come to be associated with the essence of each being, the energy of Source that defines an individualized piece of Source. Spirit is a term that has become associated with the human consciousness of the soul. The soul is the unconscious state, or the repository of all the experience that has occurred outside the range of this incarnation’s consciousness.

You can think of the soul as the internal organs of the human and the spirit as the skin that is visible to all. Whatever happens to the skin affects the health of the inside and vice versa. The soul is generally not visible to other humans unless they are very enlightened. The spirit of a person may be seen and felt by a majority of the population.

So what happens to these definitions when the soul leaves the body? If the person goes Home the consciousness is one and the same—soul and spirit. If the person has difficulty getting Home, the spirit remains cut off from knowledge of the soul and wanders around trying to contact people and other spirits to determine what has happened to it. At Home, awareness unites them.

ANSWER: You would do very well as a group leader for discussions about the journey of life, reincarnation, and the soul’s many life experiences. You have phrased your question with a very good example that is spot on.

We can sum up this area by saying that, in almost all cases, a life-lesson is an individual thing that the soul wishes to experience and, through its freedom of choice, to understand. A life-task is generally an inter-personal situation in which the soul is sharing an activity with one or more other souls. You will generally see that the task is something that the soul has already understood and is using its knowledge to help others understand as well.

Life-tasks are all about teaching others is one way or another. If people are buried under their life-lessons, they will not be able to work with a life-task because it will divert them from their path.

Tasks may be formal or informal. A person who holds organized classes or heals others, using any of a number of recognized systems, does so, and it is labeled as a task. Some are drawn to help informally in one-on-one situations where they share of themselves and the way in which they were able to master the same types of lessons.

You have completed the majority of your life-lessons, which we will not elaborate. We will not speak of them because it is the wisdom you have gathered from these lessons that will be part of your task. They will be permanently imprinted upon you when you claim them and speak of them to others. A lot of your task has to do with bringing others up to speed on their souls’ journeys, going through the same lessons you have just finished.

ANSWER: Formality only erects barriers and says we are better than you; that is not so, and this form of contact is easiest for you to understand. Your brother and lady are continuing on their life’s paths. You will know when the time is right for communication. You had made contracts with your lady before coming down here to experience things together and to create additional lessons by parting. A person’s date of birth sets up astrological influences on the physical body so that it may lead to various experiences which are being sought, but these are only pre-dispositions, not absolute energies.

Now a major question: You humans have enabled yourselves to enter into a life-stream of duality. You have positioned yourself with a highly sensitive body-covering which can intensify the physiological reactions created by the events in which you partake. The human body’s many sensitive nerves endings allow you full access to stimuli so that you have no doubt about things affecting your body. You are a soul on a mission to experience human duality—the qualities of positive and negative energies—so you may learn and gather knowledge that, when understood, can be assimilated as wisdom and used in subsequent reincarnations.

In a human body you become conscious of thoughts in two ways. The first is physical: things told to you by others, things you observe, and things you read. These are stored as “hard” data in your storage unit (brain) to be recalled when you so desire. The second way is non-physical: your unconscious recollection of the knowledge you gathered elsewhere, accompanied by assistance or guidance from your spiritual non-physical guides. This comes in the form of feelings, often accompanied by words arising in your thoughts. Ask with the thoughts you have: “How do I feel about this? Is this something that resonates with me, or something I have been programmed to follow?” You will then have your answer to the last question.

ANSWER: We have to first begin with souls in general. All souls are pieces individualized from Source. Source is unconditional love energy, as are all the souls created. Pieces are broken off from Source in groups. These are referred to as soul groups and are loosely composed of the 144 souls who came into existence at about the same time as you (the 72 before you and the 72 after you). You are able to recognize the energy signature of those close to you and plan most of your important contracts for Earth life with group members.

As a part of this separation there is a division of energy into separate identities. The very last division that resulted in your being detached from Source was from what is called your twin flame. This soul is as close to identical with you as is possible – you were once like Siamese twins. Your energy is as near to identical as possible. Whenever you are in the physical at the same time, you are drawn together and care about nothing but spending time with your twin. You could be the same sex or have a gigantic age difference, but your energy essence pulls you to each other.

A twin flame being in your life is chaotic. You don’t care about anything else; family, career, obligations – you walk away from all of them to be in the presence of your twin. For this reason it is extremely rare that twins decide to be on Earth together.

When you feel drawn to another soul in your life, it is most likely an agreement you made before coming, or the energy of a soul group member, and not a meeting of your twin flame.

ANSWER: Instances of one soul walking in to a pre-existing body are about as commonly seen on your planet as a near-extinct species. Of your current population of over seven billion souls incarnate, fewer than 100 are walk-ins at any one time, and, since they come in for a specific purpose, they are generally not around for vast amounts of time. Therefore, Michael Newton or any other hypnotist could spend over a thousand lifetimes regressing people and never come across a walk-in.

It does take people many years to find out that they are, first and foremost, a soul and to integrate the abilities they have worked so hard to learn both in this lifetime and in past lives into their awareness. This knowledge can only be proven to the human mind by what is reported through the host brain as you call it. The unconscious aspect of the physical person contributes to the characteristics and personality that are recognized by others as this individual or that person even before they accept their own behavior or have this integration of which you speak.

Food for thought: If it is accepted that we are all souls and come to Earth to have a physical experience, and this can be validated by LBL regression work, why would a substantial part of your time be spent trying to integrate into the physical brain if you are going to leave it behind when your body ceases to exist?

ANSWER: No souls who commit to human life on planet Earth have any obligations to anyone other than themselves. Service is an idea put together by society, organizations, and organized religions so that things they feel they should take care of for their members will partially be done by participants.

Your purpose, your path, is to discover who you are as a soul and what abilities you have to fulfill your life lessons and enjoy this incarnation – nothing else. That does not mean that you cannot incorporate service to others along the way. This is made more difficult, however, if you have not finished the lessons chosen before coming.

Those fears, doubts, and insecurities you continue to experience are an indication that you have not completed the life lessons desired. Take the time to examine each fear as it surfaces and ask: Why is it there? What does it originate from? Why do I feel the way I do about it? If you ask the question, the answer can be found in the unconscious aspect of your soul or Higher Self.

Once you acknowledge these tasks, you can begin to work on understanding them and releasing the hold they have on you. You can’t just heal these irritations unless you remove the cause. Patience is necessary to unravel the causes. Once you acknowledge a problem, thank it for its service to you and send it on its way as you fill its void with unconditional love.

Some of these things have continued over from past lives, but many are new lessons you sought to understand from the human perspective available only when you are on Earth. Once you have dealt with more of these fears, then engage in whatever service may appeal to you. You will then be ready to accomplish all you desire.

ANSWER: When a soul begins its own journey as a spark broken off from Source, it does so in a line with all the other souls becoming distinct at the same moment in time. These neighboring new souls form a group that is sometimes referred to as a monad. Humans like to call the closest members within this group their “soul group” or “soul mates,” which for practical application, may extend out to include a total of 144 souls.

Souls are broken off from Source in a continuous process, not in separate batches of 144. The “soul group” to which each soul belongs is computed as 71 to 72 souls broken off beforehand, and about the same number of souls broken off afterwards. Each individual soul is seen as being in the mid-point of its specific group of 144 souls, and therefore no other soul group has precisely the same membership.

Members of your soul group have various functions in your human travels. Some are on a parallel path with you and therefore easily fit into your numerous lives. Some choose rarely or never to come to Earth and you therefore see them only at Home. And then there are those who want to experience something on Earth at the same time you do which will complement your lesson or maybe even allow you to have the lesson. These are the souls with whom you make contracts.

Within your entire soul group you repeatedly make agreements to assist only about 12 to 24 of your 144 members. You may, however, at some time or other, have shared lives with many more of your group than the “usuals.” Humans want to think that anyone within a life where they are having an intense emotional experience is within their soul group. This is absolutely false!

For the sake of variety your soul likes to “play” with strangers, so it does not become bored. Frequently a soul mate with whom you have contracted to ensure you have a particular lesson will be the antagonist making your negative experience possible. Almost an even number of current-life soul mates will provide you with negative events as help produce positive ones.

ANSWER: Souls plan very carefully for their entry into a human physical body. They set up all the parameters of what they wish to experience, and they cover every aspect of the projected journey by choice. Why, after going to all that difficulty, would they just leave that body and hop into a new one that is experiencing a life about which they have chosen nothing?

Souls have total freedom of choice, so that is not to say that a body switch could not occur, but it would defeat the purpose of all the pre-planning before incarnation. If Emma sees Harry doing something that fascinates her, and she wants to try it, all she has to do is make a record of the factors and incorporate it into her next existence.

If Emma is impatient and wants to have the experience right now, she could try to talk Harry into vacating his body and life so that she might take it over. But what if Harry is in the middle of completing a lesson and doesn’t want to have to start over? He will therefore say “no” and Emma is out of luck, because she cannot force him out of his body.

What does happen on rare occasions is something called a “walk-in,” in which a soul who does not currently have a body enters another’s body. In that instance, the body is being vacated because the owner is returning Home for some reason, and the body would cease to be animated without a soul.

The “walk-in” becomes that person, with whatever family, profession, and human memories they had gathered. This is normally done because the entering soul is in a hurry and does not want to have to go through gestation, childhood, and schooling but wants to jump right to the spot the original soul has achieved.

This is rare because it doesn’t allow the new soul to design as much of the human experience as the usual process does. It also comes with the first soul’s lessons set in play, and any difficulties they had understanding and completing a lesson would direct a large portion of the new soul’s day. It is like a person who has never played rugby being put in as a player in the championship game.

ANSWER: Congratulations on the journey and all the lessons you have figured out. You have traveled down the usual path of a human incarnation and worked diligently on your assignments. The knots were blockages created by the desired understanding you had wanted. Working through that tie-up did allow you to feel better and better. It also reduced the amount of fear and doubt remaining, an indication of incomplete life lessons waiting to be worked on, letting life become happier and happier.

Intuition is the acceptance of your soul’s communication with you, which comes through your feelings or just a sense of “knowing.” When you are too occupied with life lessons it is almost impossible to hear. As you remove obstacles it becomes clearer and clearer if you wish to listen. When you reach this point you are ready to have more experiences presented to you.

This gentleman you got to know is one of your soul mates. It was decided that if both of you were ready to proceed after having finished so much of your life’s journey, you would meet and see what develops. It was not to be without challenges to test your resolve—hence the distance between you. Follow the signs that are presented as you maintain contact with him. He is not quite as ready for big changes in his life as you are. Be patient.

ANSWER: Soul mate is the term that signifies the souls who were broken off from Source at or near the time that you were. Your soul group includes the 72 or so immediately before you and the 72 or so immediately after you. As you can surmise from this total of 144, the mere fact that they are soul mates is not determinative of their significance within a particular life. Yes, you do recognize the energy pattern of these individuals and may have planned to spend your life with them – or maybe just to meet them and then move on.

Frequently a soul mate has agreed to help you with a lesson you wished to learn, such as sharing a romantic love with them. Learning about discernment, regarding your own feelings, and the aspects of someone trying to control you also may be factors.

From this soul mate, you have understood that his path in this life is not something you wish to share. Your husband has taught you how a true communicative sharing relationship brightens and enhances this physical existence.

You have no obligation to your ex. He did not understand the dysfunctional match you endured. He only feels your happiness at this time and wants to become a part of it. Block his phone from contacting yours.

A psychic completely connected to spirit can tell you only what each person’s plans  are at the time of the reading. When you got the reading, you were beginning to respect and honor yourself and knew you had to flee the marriage, so your psychic  saw you leaving. She read the character of your ex and saw that he was manipulative and selfish and would want you back if you ended up balanced without him.

Faith is what you have in yourself when you rely on your intuition and feelings. You know what is right for you because the energy resonates within. The psychic was correct, but she said only that he would come back, not that he would be successful with his desire. Release your anxiety and enjoy your beautiful family.

ANSWER: Time, as recorded by humans, exists only on Earth. A soul has the ability to insert itself anywhere along the linear timeline that has occurred on the planet. It is all happening at the same time. That is why a human who undergoes a past-life regression under hypnosis can tap into the past lives they have lived and jump from one Earth time period to another.

When a soul is considering reincarnating on Earth, they first decide what it is they wish to experience. Is it a characteristic, an emotional test, or something they have become aware of as a historical event from a prior lifetime? If it is to participate in an Earth period, they choose who or what they wish to be and then set up everything that will permit them to create the experience.

They can even pop into the life of a particular person of whom they have become aware. They can recreate the entire life or just a section of it. If the desire is to live through the development of a way of life, they can do that as well. Those who enter for a short visit are aware of what is happening, but those who want to live an entire life set up the staging for the life but enter with amnesia, just as with a normal life, and work through the situations that present themselves.

Where you are right now is the period you chose. From the societal knowledge of the ego, everything is a continuing linear progression, and therefore they create a past, present, and future. Spiritually there is no judgment of past, present, and future – it all just exists as each soul creates the illusion and reality they want to experience.

When you are back Home considering your next adventure, all of this will be in your awareness. You can remind yourself at that time that you were fascinated by a particular “past” period on Earth and then you can go visit.

ANSWER: A twin flame is the last piece of Source that broke off at the same time as you; it is like a Siamese twin separated, whose composition is the same energetic vibration. You feel totally complete and are satisfied with being with them without taking the time to do anything else or learn anything new. It is for this reason that twin flames rarely are incarnated at the same time.

Earth is the only place to experience the opposite of perfection (which a twin flame connection is) and is used to gain wisdom about who and what you are. On the extremely rare occasions that twin flames are incarnated together, all they can do is spend time together to the exclusion of all else. If either had married before meeting, they would leave their spouse and children just to be in the presence of their twin.

“Soulmates” is the term used to designate the 144 other souls who were closest to you during individualization. The 71 before and after you, you and your twin. All of them have energy very similar to your own, and you feel their resonance when they come near you – that is if you open yourself up to the sensation.

Since you have been familiar with these souls the longest, it is practical to ask them to join you in your trip to Earth and to be a part of any contracts you want to be sure will take place. This is not a requirement, and you can approach any other soul who seems to have an interest in being on Earth at the same time you do.

The intensity of the twin flame is not as demanding in spirit form since you both are in the presence of unconditional love and receive same from everyone. You also do not have a body with nerve endings, emotions, and tactile responses. You have no sex and no need to be attached to only one other soul.

Who spends time with whom is a matter of freedom of choice when at Home. Remember, you can be in several places at once in your amorphous, energetic form. Few souls choose to maintain a set form when at Home because it is very limiting.

You and your twin flame had specific things you wanted to accomplish, so you chose to take turns incarnating. It is your time currently.

ANSWER: Souls are always looking for new experiences for their trips to Earth. Being a twin can be very interesting in that you are linked by genetic programming that somewhat mirrors the non-physical psychic connection from Home. Many twins “feel” whatever their twin is experiencing without having to even be in the same location. It is also very easy to develop telecommunication skills with a twin. These abilities we have just enumerated aren’t always in play. People can block their natural or genetic abilities at will, or because they fear them, or they don’t accept the possibility.

You have listed a number of the biological reasons that twins are on the increase. There are really more twins than you imagine that were born in the past as well. At one time the smaller of the twins was killed because it was believed they were bad luck or that the mother would not be able to care for two. It was not uncommon to give a twin to another family.

Spiritually the occurrence of twins is nothing more than a variation on the way to experience life lessons. Having someone who is a replica of yourself creates unique opportunities to learn about yourself. Are you alike? Do you want to lead or follow? Do you share the same ideas or are you individuals? There are many variations, each creating different situations to explore.

We are not prepared, at this time, to answer the last part of your question because it is something you are working on with your guides. Your intuition and contact with non-physical entities is accurate—continue to trust what you feel.

ANSWER: Once the sperm and egg have joined together and started to divide, a soul puts a claim on the resulting fetus and attaches a filament to it. They generally do not enter into the cells at this time because of the long gestation period and the availability of saying goodbyes to all their friends who are not incarnating. The only time this will not occur is if the women has decided she wishes to experience a stillbirth or miscarriage and there is no chance that a live birth will occur.

If the mother has not planned on the probability of having an abortion, the soul may or may not know that could be a possibility. The soul chose the parents for many factors such as ethnicity, characteristics, location, and family situation. A soul may have even been told that the mother may decide to abort or be in an accident that will cause injury to the fetus and subsequent death.

The time that the soul is “all in” in mother depends a lot on the experience they are seeking. If they have done this innumerable times, they generally hesitate to become confined too early. If the mother is doing interesting things like dancing, swimming, playing music, or singing, the soul may enter earlier to try these new things out.

Where the soul may experience trauma is when they anticipated an easy birth and then the mother, for whatever reason, decides she doesn’t want to continue the pregnancy and aborts. This may even be a lesson concerning trauma that they knew was coming, and they wished to see how it felt and what their reaction to it would be.

Now, at the time of birth, the fetus will not be viable if it does not contain a soul. Therefore, the soul must entirely enter into the baby at the time of birth for the fetus to survive. This does not prevent them from having entered prior to birth – it is a matter of freedom of choice.

ANSWER: One’s soul mates do comprise a group of 144 total souls. They are the 72 souls individualized immediately before you and the 72 who came along immediately after you. A soul is never in a physical body at the same time as the entirety of the other 143 souls. During all the lives you live on Earth you share the plane with only about two dozen of your soul mates, and then not always in the same location.

Soul mates who share the lifetime with you are like siblings: Some have the same plans as you, and others want nothing to do with you because they are on their own journeys. A soul’s purpose for coming into the physical is not to “vacation” with friends but rather to work on understanding the lessons they chose and a realization of who they are as a soul.

While it is true that difficult life lessons frequently involve having made contracts with one of your soul mates to ensure they get carried out, you may also have chosen a soul who just happened to plan to be in the same place at the right time for your lesson to be accomplished.

Your mother is a soul mate but your husband is not. Meeting soul mates does not help you in your life’s challenges, so don’t spend so much time consumed with the idea.

Souls sometimes find themselves in a place that does not totally resonate with their physical body and they are drawn to a different energy. In your case, this is because you have spent a number of different lives in that other country. To follow up on those yearnings is part of a life lesson of examining what a move will mean in your life. You have the freedom to choose your experiences and how they play out.

ANSWER: The human body is the speaker system for the soul’s memories to come into consciousness. They are not contained in any part of the body. They are energy and can be accessed by intention. It is the mind or head that frequently tells what is happening or has happened to a person in other physical situations. It is the heart or emotional system that allows the person to feel the effect an event created.

Ideas, thoughts, and the recording of historical events are not physical; they are energetic. Energy may be contained within a closed system, but most of the energy of the universe is free-flowing and available at any time to anyone who knows where to look. People have an unconscious connection to everything that was previously experienced by their soul. They merely “call up” the records and they may re-experience the happening with their heart, mind, and body if they either are open to it or, as you mention, have a past-life regression.

The soul is everywhere. It is not contained. It is needed to activate the human body, but some portion of soul energy remains with Source at Home, and some wanders seeking new experiences. The soul does not dictate what the body does. If a person overdoes a hobby, obsession, or interest, it is part of a life lesson that deals with restraint and discipline.

Life lessons are recognized by dealing with fears and doubts. Frequently the heart is needed to begin the process because the mind is unable to face that which it fears. The heart must answer the question “why do I feel this way?” The truth is what each person accepts as reality. There is no one absolute truth shared by all.

ANSWER: Chakras are the energy centers regulating the flow of energy within the physical body. There are seven major centers which have been studied at length for their effect on the body. The heart center of these bodily vortexes is the central point in the energy cycle. The physically dominant centers are below the heart and the spiritually dominant are above the heart. The heart has aspects of both; it is the organ that keeps the body functioning and is the repository of the feelings of the soul.

When you leave the physical body and venture into the non-physical realms of the person, you enter into an entirely different and additional set of chakras. The higher heart chakra, of which you inquire, is part of this etheric rather than physical system. If you overlaid the etheric pattern over the human body, the higher heart center would be in the thymus region.

The higher heart center, like the heart center, is all about regulating the experience that is felt by the body, even though it is positioned outside the physical body. The experiences it regulates have more to do with the mental and emotional aspects of living and learning than the physical ones.

In addition to the patterns of chakras that you have mentioned, there are layers that radiate out from the body, creating a series of shell-like coverings. Each layer is subtly related to the spiritual path that the soul has entered. The circles closer to the body relate to the most physical and those further out to the most spiritual.

All physical chakras relate to life-lessons the soul has undertaken. The spiritual chakras relate to the connections the soul has between its current physical life and all its previously learned experience, as well as the awareness of its essence that it has been able to bring into the physical life. The more spiritually aware people become, the more they are connected to the universal oneness.

ANSWER:  We must start out this discussion with the fact that all humans are really souls, particles broken off from Source energy, who are having a physical experience. The bodies you see are just like a suit of clothing they have adopted for their time on Earth. When the physical body wears out, or the soul decides it has had enough of that particular life, it leaves the physical shell behind and goes back to its energetic form where it can go anywhere it wills. What you call a spirit we call a soul. It never dies or ceases to exist; it just changes form. It has the ability to make itself known to those on Earth if it chooses.

All of your other questions deal with the purely physical aspects of a human body. Each deals with a concept that the thinking brain might want to understand or of which it might demand scientific proof of existence. Once the soul has shed the body that is controlled by the mind, it instantly knows everything and can communicate with all other souls. You want a judgment of something being or not being; we just are.

You are talking about accepting a belief that cannot be proven scientifically but must be felt. Human beliefs are gathered together mostly by things that have been said by others sharing the life cycle with you. To answer how you feel about death, reincarnation (returning for another life), or the immortality of the soul, you have to go into your own feelings, not the scripted statements of others. Just as you can’t scientifically prove love, or even the existence of electricity, except by the results they produce, you cannot physically document immortality.

If you are open enough to the possibility of communication between humans on Earth and souls not on Earth, you may get a feeling or a knowing that souls are eternal and have done the human journey many times. This comes from a gut feeling, an intuition, or an evaluation of the facts and messages you receive. After all, you addressed these questions to us. We are with Source; therefore, we are nonphysical and eternal.

ANSWER: Alcohol is a chemical that affects everyone in slightly different ways. There is much knowledge about the physical influences, but there are also the vibrational effects, which can interfere with spirit communication – which is not of great importance to those who are not metaphysical students.

Alcohol consumption has been scientifically proven to have deleterious effects on the brain, heart, liver, and pancreas, making a person more prone to cancer and illness by weakening the immune system. Small amounts may also be healthy for the stimulation of the heart and body.

Belief systems that include sections on consumption of alcohol, both pro and con, have nothing to do with spiritual awareness but are ritualistic. There are some that include other forms of mind-altering substances as well. Each soul is responsible for selecting the beliefs by which to live human life.

Many enjoy the feelings and taste of alcoholic beverages, and a small amount that does not change your personality is no cause for alarm. Some people use alcohol to free their inhibitions when they have no self-confidence or self-worth. These are the ones who leave themselves open to the attraction of negativity.

Vibrationally, a state of intoxication reduces the ability to sense the energy of one’s soul – or any positive energy, for that matter. Negative energy is a very strong energy for the physical body, so when drunk, in order to feel anything, one reaches for negative beings. If you are unable to reason and think clearly, a discarnate negative soul wandering around Earth will ask if it can help you out, and therefore you end up giving it permission to attach to you and exist on any positive energy it can find. It remains around until a better food source comes along or you find a way to get rid of it.

There is no set formula for safe and dangerous when it comes to alcohol. If you choose to drink, be aware and careful not to open yourself to invasion. Alcohol does affect the vibrations used to communicate with ascended spirits and Masters; it makes it more difficult for the human body to be attuned to fifth-dimension energy. If you are not communicating at the moment, enjoy a libation.

ANSWER: Astrology, generally recognized as the influence of the planets upon the human body, has been documented throughout human history. The moment of birth gives you an indication of the potential that the incarnated soul has within that particular body, caused by the influence of the celestial bodies. It does not determine what is going to happen to that person, just what the energy background will help facilitate.

The influence of the planets at the time of your birth is twofold. First you have what most people plot, which is the exact time and place of the body’s entering into the world from inside the mother. But a second, also important, time is when the sperm joins the egg and begins to divide. Again, the planetary impacts are suggestions that can be followed or totally disregarded, and choices can be made to go a different path.

Souls may take their initial potential and ride along with it without making any changes, or use it as a springboard to propel themselves beyond their natural inclinations in a direction of their choosing. This explains why those of a shared astrological sign might appear to differ greatly from each other.

Some of the characteristics that seem to dominate within an astrological sign may be part of the lessons chosen by the soul to see if they can understand and learn from the situation. Tendencies toward passionate domination may be a lesson in control; ultra-sensitivity may be experimentation with intuitive abilities; dealing with material goods as a trait allows a stage for seeing if you can let go of ego and turn to love.

You are a soul who has chosen to incarnate on the physical plane. Your physical body, being composed mostly of water, is affected by the movements of the planets throughout the solar system. Like a piece of wood in the ocean, you can let yourself be completely influenced by the movement, or you can swim or paddle away from where it is pushing you. Nothing overrules the soul’s freedom of choice.

ANSWER: There are many definitions associated with the term “aura”. Even practitioners who have found various ways to demonstrate the body’s “physical aura” aren’t sure exactly what it is. From an energy perspective an aura is something that emanates from an object and may be observed by one means or another.

All souls and living things have a life-force energy at their core. This can become physical, and when it does it excites the air surrounding it, causing a vibration. Depending upon the intensity of the vibration it may be seen as waves, such as heat, or as colors when the air is stimulated sufficiently.

This excitement of air may occur in the dimension within which the physical eye is perceptive or it may be in a higher, faster, vibration that can only be seen by those attuned to such energy. For these reasons we cannot answer your question as posed because the variables were not defined.

ANSWER: Medical doctors see only a disease afflicting their patient. Almost all are unaware that what debilitates the human body does so for the soul-growth of that person. Each element that places the body out of balance does so for the soul to learn what it is like to be unbalanced, and what is needed to bring it back into balance.

Your question cannot be answered without a consideration of the particular patient involved. Does the soul have a contract with family and friends to be a victim with whose illness they need to deal? Did the soul ask to be in a situation of believing punishment is deserved and so has called cancer in to be the instrument? Is the energetic imbalance, which the doctors are calling cancer, a learning experience for the soul dealing with faith and trust in one’s own divinity? Is the soul wishing to be at the mercy of others through enduring chemotherapy and radiation?

If this is a lesson in faith and trust in one’s own power, if the soul’s intention is strong enough, and no other lessons were involved, there would be no need for modern medical treatments. However, if people cannot rid themselves completely of the doubt in their own power, then the treatment would be suspenders for the gentlemen who are sure that their belt alone will not hold up their trousers!

ANSWER: Your Siamese is a very strong-willed animal. She is still hurting from what she thought was a shunning by you. When you gave so much attention to your male, she felt you were expressing your preference for him. She was trying to get your attention with her misbehavior. It’s not that she didn’t like the other cat but that she was jealous. He also did not want to share you with her.

She will gradually come back to trusting you but is not ready at this time. Neither of these cats has a soul, but are both empowered by sparks of life energy. They respond to human interactions and the sensing of emotions. She feels you are mourning your male and she fears he will return and again push her out of your affection.

The energy of your male would not be able to help you with her. He is still around the house, which she can feel, and that complicates her trying to reunite with you. You need to restore yourself as the head cat in the house. You need to be very consistent with your treatment of her, and do not tolerate continued misbehavior. Remove from the house any toys of the male and bring in a new interactive toy for you and her.

ANSWER: Your son has a very quick, inquiring mind. He likes to be challenged and to figure out answers to problems. Don’t worry, he is not studying how to be a master criminal. These types of programs are the closest he can come to seeing a positive benefit to applying oneself to detection and problem solving.

His need to understand the reasoning behind someone’s actions and the excitement of following clues and catching a criminal is very motivating for him. He is interested in both the scientific and the psychological aspects of these detections – the physical and mental processes.

His curiosity would also be sated if you were to direct him toward other types of strategic games. The problem is that most of those types of games involve warfare. However, there are some that concentrate on step-by-step solving of puzzles, and these would satisfy him.

He is also good with his hands in building things. Find an area he likes such as ships, planes, space stations, buildings, or dioramas and get him involved in figuring those out. This will be more satisfying than the TV because he will then have a visual, completed project.

It is important to keep your son stimulated because if things are too easy he becomes bored. Let him help direct you to interesting things for him. Don’t worry about things being “age appropriate” because he is extremely mature for his age. He is following the path of many inventors, detectives, and scientists – always looking for the answers to their queries. Look for things that seem just a little bit too difficult for him – that is the challenge he craves.

ANSWER: The first preventive measure you should consider is crystals that absorb negativity, such as those from the quartz family. You will have to periodically cleanse them with salt water, sunlight, or moonlight. Placing some along the windows will also keep out any negativity from the outside attracted to your client. The most important step is to minimize what is lured into the room, not just what comes with the client.

It is vital to protect yourself before beginning a session. Negativity can enter you only if it is invited. It can, however, attach to you as it sees fit. Surrounding your body with white light repels the negative energies and prevents them from attaching. Most energies cannot penetrate the white light. If you still sense some trying to get through to you, add a rainbow waterfall over your head; this will discourage and disengage them.

At the end of your session, invite all the negativity to enter into an energy ball and ask if it wishes to go into the light or what other destination it desires. With your intention, send it where it wants – but not into a living person. Take your hands and physically brush off any extraneous negativity, wishing for it to leave.

If you sense you have been in a large amount of negative energy, take a bath with sea salt, Epsom salt, and vinegar. It doesn’t take more than ½ cup in a tub of water. This clears everything from you, including causing your body to detox. Do not do this too often or it will lose its effectiveness. You can shower and rub a little sea salt on your skin daily if you choose; this breaks the ability of negativity to adhere.

ANSWER: Your dental phobia has to do with a couple of past-life traumas. You have continuing fears and negative feelings about your teeth and mouth. It is getting worse because you continue to stimulate the intense horrible emotions from these lives. To rid yourself of this phobia you need to revisit those lives and resolve the issues that created the anxiety.

Your unconscious is working on you to face these emotions by requiring you to need dental treatment on a regular basis. If you didn’t need dental work you would never face your fears. Fears are the sign posts of life lessons that say “fix me now.”

The easiest way to work with the degree of fear you possess is under hypnosis. Find a good past-life regression hypnotherapist who will be able to take you back to the cause of your pain. The process can even be started in the current lifetime by the suggestion that you go back to the first time you experienced this event in this life and examine all the things that played into your fear. You will be able to see that you do not have to carry the fear forward – you can resolve it at the point of origin.

The initial event is creating a trigger point that causes panic any time a similar incident, in this case work needing to be done on your teeth or mouth, is contemplated. Once you can resolve and leave behind the old fear, you will be able to analyze the safety, and almost pain-free techniques, that dentists now employ. Your triggers had nothing to do with dentists but with torture, an accident, and birth defects.

If you can get deep enough into meditation or self-hypnosis, you can even take yourself to these lives to cut the attachments. However, it would be much easier with a hypnotherapist.

ANSWER: There is no written plan for this life of yours. You decided only that being an intermediary for the nonphysical beings, in order to help humankind, was an ultimate goal. You are always exactly where you need to be when you are there. The problem with the mentors who have advised you is their use of words.

Spirituality has no standard agreement on the meaning of a lot of the terms used. A channel is someone who allows for nonphysical spirits to communicate with the physical by coming through his/her body via words, visions, sounds, smells, or any means of communication. The channel may be conscious or in trance, aware of the procedure or not. A medium is generally someone used by a single nonphysical to deliver messages. There is no distinction as to the origin of the spirit, whether it is from Home, or a recently deceased soul, or a discarnate.

By these definitions, even those who communicate with their guides in meditation are channeling. Those who receive information via automatic writing, or visions that become pictures, are also channeling. All have the ability to be receivers, subject to their faith and confidence in themselves.

You had decided you would become available to deliver messages; the details are up to you. Let things develop normally. Relax and follow the flow of the energy. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.

ANSWER: As the human body evolved throughout the centuries, bone structure adapted to the demands put upon it. At first, man walked very much hunched over as he went through the stages of development. The current human skeletal configuration came from more than one point of origin, resulting in slightly different musculature.

The muscle and tendons of the skeleton hold the bones in their positions. This enables some bones to slip in position, causing dislocations and herniations. If these conditions put a strain on the energy flow through the body, they further contribute to physical difficulties. If the body becomes used to the anomaly and it causes no problems, it does not need to be corrected.

The physical body is a container for the soul. If there is not a specific physical condition necessary to complete the soul’s journey, correcting something that is not a part of a lesson will not make the whole soul journey easier.

As to health, if the position is creating a blockage of any energy or nerve path through the body, a correction may be beneficial. If there is no blockage, it is like doing cosmetic surgery on an area of the body merely for self-esteem reasons.

ANSWER: The principles of which you speak, a successful education system, commercial and military dominance, and leadership determining world affairs, can all be subjective evaluations although you speak of them as being objective.

Take for instance the educational issue: what determines if it is successful? Objectively society has come to see a system as successful if it allows the students to know more on a judgmental level than their counterparts. To individuals, education is deemed successful if it provides a basis for them to provide for their own needs during a particular lifetime. It is only when a government wants raw material to support its aims that it becomes obsessed with educating its masses in hopes of producing that needed genius.

When it comes to global issues generally, it is the nation that makes the most noise and provides the biggest show that is objectively considered to be controlling the situation. Nations posture and fool themselves into thinking that they have the power. Average people want to assign accountability so they take up the banner, for or against, of the nation claiming control. If you dig into the facts you will find a very small group, which chooses to remain anonymous, that possesses the finances sufficient to dictate world trends.

Outwardly it appears as if nations, because of their size, are the controllers. It is really the people holding the purse strings who rule. These groups that are banded together with mutual interests flow across national borders. They are not controlled or driven by any one government but by their own goals. They do not tout their prowess but sit quietly, being puppet masters counting their money. They are happy to sit back and let society in general think it is the nations that control so that no one shines a spotlight on them and interferes with their plans. This also shields them from blame when something goes wrong.

All of this should concern you only if you wish to remain mired in the ego-based Earth dimension. As you become aware of your essence it becomes merely a matter of interest going on outside of the spiritual journey you are on.

ANSWER: Your son is a very special child who has come down to be on Earth at this time to help out humanity. It will not assist him in his mission if he becomes fixated on competitiveness and judgment. These characteristics are the antithesis of the Steiner method and the basis of the standard educational model. While any soul’s journey is to learn to exercise its freedom of choice, at his age your child is unable to do that for himself at this time.

If you feel the school that you have chosen is able to meet the basic beginning educational needs for your son, then you cannot go wrong. It will take a number of years for a pattern to develop and for your son to establish his unique pathway of inquiry. You and he will be able to tell in a few years if he is getting what he needs from the school you place him in. Starting in one direction does not mean you can never change and go in another.

If at some time he chooses to try the other method, allow him to do so if he is able to articulate reasons for his choice. He will be absorbing material at an incredible rate as long as he is continually stimulated. He needs many various experiences to develop, not a patterned structure of memorization.

While curriculum vitae are considered by some to show the measure of a man, the personality will sink or obliterate an impression gathered from mere paperwork. The ultimate goal you seek is to mold and educate your son so that he takes full advantage of his entire essence.

ANSWER: Energy is everything that exists in whatever state you can perceive –physical and nonphysical – and everything you are aware of is energy. The word “energy” is a generic and descriptive term for the driving forces behind the things that cause action in a human being but whose origin is basically nonphysical. The word also may be modified by an adjective depicting the position or location where it can be found.

Planet Earth is composed of two forms of energy, which are called positive and negative. It was created in this form so that souls would have a place to learn how to make choices concerning understanding their nature. All souls come from the presence of Source (Home), from whom they were broken off and whose existence is pure perfection. They enter into the duality to experience imperfection.

Home is composed of all positive energy and referred to as unconditionally loving universal life force energy. This is because it embodies perfection and is the origin of all things. When a practitioner assists a client to return to perfect balance within their physical body, they draw in this life force energy to reset everything within that person’s physical makeup.

Sexual energy is the physical response of one person to another. It includes their physical, mental, and emotional reactions to the thoughts of, contact with, and communication with a “lover.” It even impacts the endocrine glands producing hormones that “call” one person to another and initiate things such as a desire to procreate or a demand to release sexually caused tension within the body.

Kundalini energy is an awareness of the flow of massive amounts of life force energy through the center of the human body. This allows a person to be able to sense their essential connection to Source and transport their consciousness at will to the presence of Home. If one activates this stream before they are emotionally ready, it can cause physical symptoms often confused with mental diseases.

Spiritual energy is perfection. It is unconditional love. It is awareness of all that exists and who each of you are and everything you have ever done in any life or form.

ANSWER: It is not possible for chakras to become broken as in irreparable. Chakras do become unbalanced and partially blocked so they do not allow energy to flow through in an expeditious manner. This is a very common occurrence and happens to all if they do not constantly attend to the health of their chakras. At the time of this writing your chakras are all out of order; some are rotating clockwise and others counterclockwise. This makes it very difficult for energy to flow freely though your body.

During your daily meditation, visualize each chakra and help them all to rotate in the same direction at the same pace. This is akin to aligning gears in a mechanical device. Then things will run smoothly.

We have talked before about summoning Earthbound energies via the use of the Ouija board. You have invited in a rather nasty discarnate who thinks it is fun to ridicule and hurt other people. He is currently attached to you. If you wish to get rid of it you will need the assistance of a practitioner trained in spirit release. You have to go through a process of uninviting him and severing the connections he has established with your energy core. It is very important always to be aware of what you are asking to come forth. Negative beings take the tiniest opening and barge in. Want to talk to someone from the non-physical realm? No problem—here they come. Be forewarned.

Your guides will be happy to talk to you, but they will not tell you what you want to hear like the negative beings do at first. They will not tell you what to do but will give you advice to help you make your decisions. Since you have extended an open invitation in the past to anything that might be around, they want to make sure you really want to communicate with them. Set the space with an invocation for only beings of the Light to come in, and only for the highest and greatest good. Present a question to them and listen for the answer. Sometimes it will come verbally, and other times they will arrange for you to see something that answers the question. Have no expectations; just live in the moment and observe all that happens.

ANSWER: Your human body is, in many ways, very sensitive to its environment. The manner in which you utilize food depends on the genetic makeup of your cells and the substances with which you have come in contact that may have initiated a reaction similar to an allergy within your body. There is no common factor running through all of humanity when it comes to nutrition. What one person can eat will kill another.

Food is fuel to the physical body. Just as various types of engines within motor vehicles require different types and grades of gasoline or diesel fuel, dissimilar bodies can use or reject food provided for their nutritional needs. You have to find out what combination of foods powers your engine most efficiently.

If your family genes tolerate or thrive on cholesterol-laden products, you will be able to eat bacon and eggs for breakfast every day and fatty foods whenever you choose with no dangerous effect. If cholesterol is a family problem, eggs once a week can clog up your arteries and cause heart problems.

Gluten can be a problem for different reasons, mostly having to do with genetically altered grains. With the desire to increase crop yields and make plants more resistant to bugs and blight, scientists have altered the genes within the seeds. These alterations are like acid to some sensitive peoples’ systems, creating a reaction similar to that from ingesting a poison. Other people are not affected because a tolerance for change is built into their bodies.

The human body is a very complex assortment of systems, each with varying tolerances for outside interference. There is no one answer to your question. It is trial and error to see if someone is allergic to peanuts, shellfish, gluten, or any other food source.

ANSWER: Psychic connections are very real. They rarely, if ever, “pop up” on their own. They are intentionally created for selfish control by the one enforcing them. Your sense of connection to this man is completely because of the strands between the two of you. You did not have any say in the feelings you had for him because he is able to totally manipulate you through this connection. What you feel is what he wants you to feel.

It is exactly as you have been told: he is maintaining the connection to have you around if he ever wants to pull you in again and continue his use of you. Think of the strands as the strings of a puppet master. The marionette can do nothing to prevent the use to which its body is manipulated. It senses a connection to the puppeteer and only feels alive while the strings are being pulled. But the “life” is not real; it is a representation of the desire of the handler.

These feelings differ from what you have with your husband because he has never tried to control you and bend you to his will. What you felt with this other man was your energy being boosted by the addition of his direct attachment.

You have a choice. Take charge of your own life and discover your feelings from within, or let him maintain his control and be a slave to this connection. Neither is right or wrong. Choosing experiences is what the human existence is all about.

ANSWER: Since every soul creates its own reality, there is no simple answer to your question. How one fashions their world has to do with the belief systems they accept as relating to their existence. This, in turn, has to do with where they are in their awakening process.

Do they still comply with society’s ego judgement concerning everything they see and react with? Or, have they progressed far enough that they put aside negative energy and merely evaluate what they see to determine if it is something from which they can learn?

Souls are pieces of the Source energy from which they were broken off, and therefore they have the same powers and abilities as Source. Thus, every soul on the planet is Source. Accepting this draws you to a simple conclusion: when a human creates their reality, it is Source energy that empowers that illusion.

One may do this directly, starting from nothing and creating to order, or by deciding to allow the current players on Earth to develop the planet as they need for their own growth and learning as they evolve. Both scenarios have existed on Earth.

If you examine various locations on the planet you will see that the different stages of living have to do with the thinking and creative powers of the inhabitants. Some societies are very technologically sophisticated, and others live without electricity and running water. Each situation allows those experiencing it to learn exactly the lessons they chose before coming.

A. Dear Searcher, you are referring to the advanced souls who are coming down to the planet at this time to help out with the chaos that is going on. Both groups of youngsters are advanced souls who have incarnated and do not have complete amnesia as to the former lives they have lived on planet Earth. Therefore they seem like adults in children’s bodies.

The Indigos are very psychic and are geared toward leadership, so they do not like to take orders. They have been dubbed “rule busters” by many educational groups. They have very inquisitive minds and are easily bored, because learning comes easily for them since they still remember having done the same things before. They do not spend time on things that they have already mastered so they are frequently thought to have ADD or ADHD. It is important to stimulate them continually until they find their little niche—then they will pull themselves along like prodigies.

Crystal children are empathic but more introspective. They have some residual memories of other lives as well. They cannot stand conflict and have been called peacemakers within society. They must have time alone to balance themselves and are very connected to the energy of the Earth. They sometimes just want to go inside and run away from the conflicts, so they may be diagnosed as autistic or may become depressed. Give them a lot of love but also their space.

ANSWER: What you are saying is that you are thoroughly wedded to both worlds: the fourth-dimensional spiritual, and the egotistical third dimension—and you see them as separate and distinct. They do not have to be separate if you give each its place in your life.

Since you are a physical being in the third dimension, you need to be able to provide for your everyday needs. Your entrepreneurial self can easily accomplish that task. When you establish a money-producing enterprise, it does not have to cut you off from the spiritual side of self. Use the money to provide the opportunity to set aside more time for spiritual endeavors.

If you work on developing an opening to your physic abilities (remembered since you are an Indigo), you can then use those skills to more readily deal in the third dimension of ego, by knowing what your partners and competitors are thinking and doing. This will assist you in both projects, making money and strengthening your psychic abilities.

Take care with your tendency to be “highly practical,” because that means you are leaning toward ego over spirit. It also says you are trying to look to others’ opinions, accepting society’s rules without questioning them or taking the time to insert your own freedom of choice into the mix. Take back your power. Don’t blindly follow the pack. Do what feels right to you.

ANSWER: Most plants, animals, and insects do not contain souls. Only a soul who wishes to have a particular experience as other than human does so. For instance, cats, dogs, horses, eagles, and “pests” – instead of being animated by a soul they have only a spark of universal energy giving them life.

On the average only one to two percent of non-human inhabitants of planet Earth, such as the aforementioned species, have a soul at any one time. When souls choose to be other than human, it is generally to be a highly evolved animal, usually a pet, in order to interact with humans. They may also choose to be an eagle so they may have the feeling of soaring to great heights, or a dolphin or whale to feel the freedom of the oceans.

Mosquitos, spiders, ants, cockroaches, etc. live by instinct; they do not think about what they are doing. They are not alive to learn lessons as humans do but to be around to provide some of the material for your lessons. For instance, they have caused you to examine negative and positive energy expanded in life. “Disposing” of things that cause you pain and discomfort is a lesson in loving yourself and honoring the journey for which you came to Earth.

Although it is almost unheard of, if a soul chose to incarnate as an insect, it would be with the knowledge that it would be seen as an enemy to almost everyone and everything. It could be a great lesson in persecution. (LOL) These lives are very short lived and would be only a footnote in the soul’s journey through its education.

ANSWER: Kundalini is the term used to discuss the essential energy of the soul when it is released within the physical human body. Many people who do not understand their status as souls having a human experience are totally unaware of the possibilities of sensing and using their potential soul essence to understand, enjoy, and connect on a physical basis with their nonphysical self.

Since the acknowledgment of the Kundalini involves a merging of the nonphysical with the physical, generally you must use the Earth energy, entering through the root chakra, to give it a physical force within the body. That is why it is said to “arise” from the root and wend its way up through the rest of the body. The Indian philosophy speaks of this as the opening of a lotus flower and the energy climbing up – like the uncoiling of a snake – through the body’s central pranic tube and into the rest of the physical sphere.

This influx of extremely strong energy will impact all the body’s systems, creating sensations of everything from pain, through bliss, into massive stimulation of a person’s feelings and emotions. The basic benefit of this charge is the ability to connect on an intimate basis with all your bodily functions.

The energy allows one to reach outside the bodily shell and connect with the unconscious aspects of oneself and the universe. If the person is not conflicted with residual negativity from their life lessons, they will be dealing with unconditional love and the ego will disappear. In this state, it is possible to remember the powers and abilities that are a part of Source energy, from which all souls derived.

This then allows the soul to emerge and the human body to be all-powerful, all-knowing, all-creative, and all-loving. If the human side starts to emerge again, powered by an ego judgment, the kundalini energy will be in conflict with it, resulting in confusion, discord, and depression.

ANSWER: Music is the wave forms of vibration of the energy in the universe. If you have audio sensors, you hear it as with a functioning human body. If you are without audio sensors, you may feel the vibrations as they vibrate the air and energy around you, perhaps even stimulating the nerve endings in your body. If music is played to something like plant life, it senses the variations in the air and will be drawn to or repelled by the effect.

Any instrument, whether what is called classical musical or a technical apparatus that reproduces vibrations, provides what is called music. Vocal cords, because they can vibrate and modulate the air flow, produce music. The wind blowing through nature produces music tones. The movement of masses of water over obstacles, or against a shoreline, produces music. Human thoughts provide musical scores. But music, as you refer to it, needs a body.

Vibrational energy that is perceived by a soul, a non-physical entity, is a form of communication and is produced merely with the soul’s intention—no instruments required. There are planets, which are not dualities, where souls go to spend an existence experimenting with vibrational energy or music for pleasure and communication. If they are using what you know as instruments, they produce a body for their use. If it is music produced through intention, then they choose to remain in their amorphous, energetic soul state. The choices are endless.

Concentrate on this lifetime, life lessons, and physical body. You will know all when you are at Home and access your akashic records, which record everything you have done.

ANSWER: First, while you present an interesting scenario it contains way too many variables. A truth, within the human psyche, is something that souls accept as applying to them at that moment in time. It is relevant to them alone since they set the parameters of desires, needs, experience, and lessons. For a single lifetime the truths for the soul may change a number of times. In first grade, your truth is that you cannot do algebra; in 10th grade, that you cannot do calculus; and in 12^th grade, that you are not a licensed physician.

Are you seeing that the pattern has a lot to do with experience as well as beliefs? It is also Earth ego determinant, in other words it has everything to do with judgment of what is right and wrong. In the spiritual non-physical world there is no right and wrong, so there are no absolutes. A physical “absolute” as part of its definition is free from imperfections and variables, having no restrictions, exceptions, or qualifications.

A soul that knows its nature is an extremely powerful energy and can create whatever it needs to experience. If souls came to Earth to experience cancer and to succumb to it, no amount of chemotherapy or anything else is going to cure it. If a soul did not plan to have death by poison, then consuming a poison might sicken it, but will not kill the body. If people’s faith is strong enough and it is part of their journey, even caustic substances will have no effect.

The universe has no truths because it has no judgment declaring that only one thing is correct. Since each soul is on its own unique journey, we say there are no absolutes controlling factors within that life. The closest we can come to a certain fact, which some may say is absolute, is that all souls are a part of Source coming from unconditional love, and to that love they shall eventually return.

ANSWER: Every soul brings to them self that which they wish to experience. If they have chosen to deal with the breakdown of their physical body and then having to deal with all the implications revolving around such a condition, that is how their life will look. If a family loses a loved one in some type of an accident that leaves most of the vital organs intact, one of the issues they have chosen to deal with is whether to allow parts of their loved one to go on living in the body of another.

Nothing is right or wrong. Having the ability to “artificially”, as you say, prolong the time spent in one lifetime, is all part of the initial plan envisioned before coming to Earth. Every aspect of a transplant scenario, on both sides of the transference, has a lesson involved.

A transplant does not just involve the donor and the recipient. It encompasses the transplant team, the families of both, and everyone who knows or comes into contact with the parties. For each individual, it creates different learning experiences ranging from grieve, relief, worthiness, their religious beliefs, accepted ethical implications to their own spiritually planned life.

These are personal lessons for each. They should be embraced, studied for the energies involved, and used to learn more about them self as a divine soul.

ANSWER: All of the various practices that you have mentioned, in the hands of an experienced practitioner, can give an insight into the way that the energy is flowing around a particular person or event. They can give you an historical perspective of how you, with your particular background, in that specific setting, have had your life play out. That is true for the moment of the reading, until you or other people involved in your life exercise freedom of choice to change the way you or they had planned to act.

Since each person is unique, and experiences life with a different set of souls from those portrayed in history, the actual events can only give you a propensity for something to occur, but not a certainty. What you are obtaining is an indication of the direction of the energy flow around you. Does it not always help to be able to see which way the current is flowing so that you may take advantage of it and expend less energy to get somewhere?

Practitioners are as varied as the leaves on a tree—each has a different shape, no two are the same. There is no way to say that the readers you have been exposed to are all open enough to sense and report the intricate energy streams they use within their crafts. It is for you to open yourself to their energy. See if they feel open to you; test to make sure they are not inputting their particular prejudices. How does what they are saying feel to you inside? If you resonate with the reading it is accurate for you, but don’t let your desires for an outcome color the way you interpret the results.

ANSWER: What we are not hearing in your question is what you feel about all the things you have been told. First, you must ask if any of them feel right to you. Human beings create an illusion out of belief systems that become the framework of their daily life. You must ask: if any of these things are true, would they change the way you are living your life? If they would not cause you to change anything, then they’re unimportant.

Second, on the other hand, if knowing the truth about your past helps you understand something more about yourself so that you can move forward at a faster pace, then that information is important. You have been gathering other people’s knowledge in your readings and in seminars. Is it to have them make decisions for you?

Until you acknowledge that you believe in something, it is not a part of you. You can regurgitate the words of someone else and not truly feel a single concept. To know, for example, that all particles as they separated from Source were in the angelic realm is to simply acknowledge that you are an eternal soul. To find that one of your past lives was spent somewhere other than Earth is to be called a starseed. A small fraction of the souls currently on Earth have been species other than homo sapiens, but neither evolved from the other—they just chose a different form for that experience. Does any of this help you understand who you are or what you are doing here?

Indigos are souls who have arrived on Earth with some of their past memories intact. Meditate on your past and you will span several lives. Go into these lives and see what feelings arise. Work with those feelings; they are the reason you are here.

ANSWER: You are participating in the rollercoaster of life. The human body is bombarded by all kinds of emotional and physical changes throughout the life path. The bouts of self doubt, wobbly balance, and depression are all signs of the various stages the soul goes through during a life experience. As you leave one phase of lessons and proceed to the next your body has to adjust.

When a soul is engaged in intense spiritual work the effect upon the body is even more pronounced. You are removing some of the protective layers of third-dimensional padding from the soul and taking the full impact of each event. Time is needed to reach a state of equilibrium.

The proximity to your mother has thrown you back to some earlier life lessons that you had not completely cleared. Your weight gain is protection you unconsciously feel you need to protect yourself from unpleasant memories. Your body is not used to the added bulk so it gets tired easily. You need to examine the feelings that have crept into your life since her arrival. Ask yourself why you are you having these sensations-the answers will surprise you.

Once identified, decide whether you wish to maintain these beliefs as your own, or if it serves you better to get rid of them. These are all planned lessons appearing so you may learn from them.

ANSWER: What happens next is more of the same. Souls come to the duality of Earth in order to face negativity and exercise their freedom of choice while learning the lessons they chose. The first step is for them is to recognize that they have the ability to make their own choices and do not have to do things the way they have always been done in this society.

It is the belief system of society that tells you to obey the authorities. Many see acquiescence as a way not to have to make their own decisions or take responsibility for their actions. This simply continues their youth, when parents told them what to do. They were not threatened when they gave power to their parents, so why not keep going?

War is a way in which large numbers of people can have the same type of experience in being controlled and being in control. Most of the conflicts on the planet at this time have to do with ideologies; a great deal of them are religious. The quotes you included in your question are all from Christian beliefs, which are in the minority on the planet in this century. Countries and religions fight for their faith. They are following the path they chose for this lifetime.

Souls are broken off from Source, so your essence is divine. To capture that essence and use your powers, you have to exercise your freedom of choice, take back all your power, and raise yourself out of judgment and reliance upon your ego. That way, you will follow the mandates of your quotes, leave the negativity of the third-dimensional Earth energy, and enter into the light of all positive energy surrounded by unconditional love. You can be there, and the world can still go on its merry way fighting its battles. The choice is yours!

ANSWER: During the phases of the creation of the Pantheon, the architects were requested to build a tribute to the gods and champions of the times, and a space where the owner could feel he was in their presence and one of them. The builders were cognizant of the spiritual energy that some perceived as beauty, others as connection to the universe, and still others as communication of the physical and nonphysical worlds. Source had no part in the construction except for providing the initiation of the souls who manifested the completed edifice.

It is much more powerful today in its simplicity, since the removal of the adornments and decorations of its inception. They were a distraction to those who wished to “feel” the innate power the shape generated. The building’s influence arises from its structure. The representation of the magnificent energy of Source, as exemplified by the spherical masterpiece, reflects the communion of physical and spiritual: a union, a togetherness.

The complexity of design creates – for the eye and the energetic sensation of those aware of it – a transformational space, transcending the Earth and rising up into the heavens as the transition of time and seasons outside plays out within. It is a motion picture diorama of the heavens’ influence on the physical planet.

Those who reach out to embrace all that the Pantheon can teach about life will be well educated in spiritual and physical mastery. Others, to their loss, will see it simply as an interesting, ancient building with a hole in the center of its ceiling allowing odd shadow patterns during the days and seasons.

ANSWER: Interpreting auras can be done in many ways. A person’s aura can vary depending on their emotional state, as well as by the energies swirling around them. You can vary your aura from minute to minute by changing the predominant thoughts you hold in your head. Watch a person and ask them to hold loving, happy thoughts in their head. Then tell them to change and think about the scariest, most unhappy time in their life. Within seconds you can observe their aura change color.

The vibrations of a gong may calm, harmonize, and heal a soul, but they also may begin a process of clearing out negative memories and energies that were being held in the body and needed to be dealt with in order to orchestrate the healing. Some frequencies have the effect of freeing hidden or buried events you need to work on for them to no longer impact your life.

Your state of mind and expectation for the session also influence the outcome. If you are concentrating on achieving a meditative state, you can block anything else from occurring. If you see the session as a means of harmonizing and clearing the body, anything may occur.

Harmonizing, in this sense, may mean matching your internal vibration to that of the music, or it may mean balancing your whole body into a single tone, such as that of one or another of your chakras. If the sound is accomplishing some kind of balancing within your physical body, it may be disrupting the equilibrium of your spiritual body for the moment, which will be visible in the aura.

Don’t be too concerned about the color of your aura at any one time unless it stays in a perpetually black state where it is joining with other negative entities in the vicinity. Warm up your aura with unconditional love frequently so that becomes the default setting for you.

ANSWER: The bodies your souls inhabit are run by electrical impulses. The planet you reside on has lines of electrical and magnetic energy forming grids. Each person has various frequencies that resonate and make him or her feel at peace. Different geological configurations funnel or divert the Earth’s energy so that it impacts bodies in different ways. Unconsciously you will find yourself drawn to the locales that make you feel the best.

During different seasons and difficult times in your life, you may find you crave a certain type of energy and will then gravitate toward that particular type. You may be totally unaware of why you choose to go to a place. The human searches around for that “perfect” location in which to get away and feel complete. Some people have many different needs in energy and cannot find just one place that fits, or they need more than one frequency to be satisfied. Once a desired location is found, the person will generally return there any time rejuvenation is needed.

A second reason to travel to a certain area is the people who live in that location. The energy, particularly positive energy, may be of a purer or higher degree than can be found where you live. Allowing yourself to go where you feel drawn is being in touch with your own inner essence and the lifeblood of the planet.

ANSWER: Loving people is a spiritual state in which you totally accept them. It is also called unconditional love since you allow them to be themselves and utilize their freedom of choice to learn their lessons – even if you do not like what they are doing or would never do the same things as they. It is exclusive of any hormonal or emotional bodily responses. It is either a thinking/reasoning action or a nonphysical spiritual vibrational response.

Being in love is an emotional physiological sensation of a human body reacting in a positive/negative duality. It is a choice between not loving and loving. In the case of this human love, one can “love” someone else only to the extent that one loves oneself.

A third possibility, again only possible in a duality, is infatuation. This occurs when one does not love oneself or, having never experienced any type of love, creates an imagined visual visceral reaction to a person with whom one desires to be able to have a relationship – perhaps someone seen only infrequently or never even met, such as an actor. It can take the form of following the person, watching his/her movies, carrying pictures around, or any one of a number of things.

Love, in its various aspects, is a part of a lot of life lessons for souls on Earth. It is difficult for a soul to fully understand love while still dealing with a human existence. There is no right answer to what you should know or be able to feel or understand. Go with the flow of the energy, as we say – you will draw to you what you need to experience. Stay in the moment, feeling, observing, and learning.

Turn away from judgment, where you see things as right or wrong. Turn to evaluation, where you look at each event in your life for what you have been able to learn from it. Is it something you feel you would like to do again, or is it something you know you don’t need to repeat? That is all you really need to do with your lessons.

ANSWER: These people are souls having a physical experience who are just like you. They have devoted their lives to creating a series of illusions that appear to be magic but are a combination of sleight of hand and props. As you are watching any of their performances, they are using a lot of misdirection to get you spend time examining one thing while they are setting up their trick right in front of you but away from where you are directed to look.

We would like to be able to agree with you that they are just using the powers and abilities that are inherent in all souls, but alas, they are not. They are showmen. It is possible to perform these same feats manipulating energy, without trying to trick people into believing they are seeing the whole action of the performers instead of just what they are doing in front of you and not inside the hidden pockets, split sleeves, and inseams.

In the turmoil of your times there is a desire to believe in magic and to be able to do the seemingly impossible. People don’t take the time to become enlightened so that they may use their energetic powers. They find an easy way to just appear to do whatever they want to accomplish. The faith these people have in themselves is the knowledge that they have learned the trick well enough to fool the audience.

The magigans solicit and create the majority of the publicity because it means money to them. They will perform before huge crowds of people, on TV, on YouTube, and anywhere they can get people to gather. The Internet has taken several of them viral. They find a gimmick, such as Dynamo’s hip-hop appearance of overlarge clothes and dark demeanor, and parlay it into a brand that draws people and lookalikes, which then sells even more. They are extremely talented, but they haven’t tapped into their nonphysical abilities as yet. But then, people who do use their non-third-dimensional abilities have no desire to do so for the sake of third-dimensional ego.

ANSWER: Souls come to planet Earth with amnesia concerning their previous experiences here. Children frequently do not have total amnesia at first and remember sections or entire lives. When memories are recalled and thought about frequently, they become more clear and permanent. It is only when they talk about their pasts and are told it can’t be true that they block that lifetime.

Your son had a life on another planet, which was very earthlike, where he was a scientist. One of the races’ abilities was mental telepathy, which exceeded beyond the territory of their world. If your son thinks about it he will also remember other lifetimes and skill sets. He has had many previous lives and is somewhat of an historian concerning souls’ journeys.

Almost everyone has the ability to recall or re-live sections of previous existences when under hypnosis, as occurred with Dr. Weiss’s patients. Some can even reach those memories when deep in meditation. If you have a curiosity about your own past lives, try one of the two mentioned methods.

Past-life regressions are a useful tool for dealing with negative feelings that spring up in your life as carry-overs from the past. If you have a fear of heights you can go back into the past life where you fell off a cliff and deal with the fear, understanding that you aren’t going to fall off a cliff in this life. Claustrophobia, fear of water, lack of self-worth and confidence can all be traced to past lives and handled or removed from concern by revisiting them.

ANSWER: One of the unfortunate realities of the current understanding and teaching within spiritual lectures is the lack of a consensus of opinion as to the meaning of terminology and the methods needed to achieve a state of “spirituality.” Human beings exist within a duality of equal parts negative and positive energies. These conflicting energies allow each person to make choices as to how they are going to live their lives and what they are going to create as a reality.

“Accepting what is,” also sometimes referred to as “living in the now,” is a reference to acknowledging the things you draw to yourself so that you might learn from experiencing them. If you do not admit to yourself what you are dealing with, you cannot learn from it. And if you spend all of your time thinking about what has happened in the past, or what you think you will do in the future, you are not observant about what is facing you to work through.

Most of the time the word “surrender” is used, it refers to acknowledging what is happening whether or not you want to. It is human nature to deny something you don’t want to deal with or to ignore its existence. Surrendering to the reality of your situation allows you to work with it and learn from it.

“Love and fear vibration” refers to the only two true emotions that can be felt by the human body. Love is the epitome of positive energy, and all else is negative, appearing in various forms of fear. Working though to spiritual enlightenment, you seek to obtain a state of love. Watching and dealing with the fears in your life allows you to reach that positive energy.

“Situations are shadows of our own belief system” discusses the way one works through from negative ego judgment to positive unconditional loving. When a human enters into society, they are given beliefs as a way to fit in. These ideas form a system by which they determine how they will behave in society. These beliefs also reflect lessons chosen such as being unworthy, not good enough, or unable to be happy. The soul then draws to itself what it desires to experience, so the beliefs gather situations that will allow the person to face their lessons and decide what to do with them.

What is important in any teaching you undertake is that it resonates with you. When you attend a session that seems “wrong” to you, it is simply not the right place or time for you to deal with that teacher’s opinions. You may not be advanced enough, or you may have passed by that lesson without needing to complete it.

ANSWER: Judgment occurs when the ego feels compelled to assess everything as right or wrong, or to grade people or actions as better or worse than other people or their actions. Someone who evaluates himself according to a standard of society—or, as a matter of pride, decides he is better than another human—is exhibiting judgment. If, on the other hand, he makes an observation about a person’s trait but makes no determination of the trait’s rightness or wrongness, he is noting what he sees without going into judgment.

Our answers, such as those you quoted, are simply descriptions of people about whom we are asked—a matter of identification. We do not judge the merit of their traits but merely, by identifying them, enable the asker to decide whether or not to remain in a partnership. Frequently, people on the spot cannot see what is happening around them and need an outside perspective for clarification.

When you make decisions for yourself, you are using your freedom of choice about what direction to try at that time. You are not judging something as wrong based on society’s opinions, but just going with your gut feeling that it is not the best thing for you. If, however, you act based on what you think others would want or expect you to do, you are relying on your ego and judgment to make decisions.

You can tell the difference by examining whether you are making the decisions based upon: (a) your thinking—your hard-drive mind supplied with information solely by those outside of you, or (b) your feelings, which rely on your own internal information.

ANSWER: We don’t take requests for specific souls, so a group of us are answering your question for you. In the non-physical state, souls have neither vocal cords nor ears. We communicate primarily telepathically. When we seek to be “heard” by a large group of souls we broadcast our message, so to speak, in vibrational waves—what you perceive as music.

You can see how this is possible if you close your eyes and feel the vibrations transmitted all around you musically. You should be able to feel the vibrations entering your body, your mind, possibly even your soul. Some of these appear to be beautiful resonant combinations and others are discordant, like fingernails on a chalk board.

The first attempt to find a way for humans to communicate with each other was made through musical vibrations, since we had experience with that medium. The subtleties were too difficult for most humans to understand, since they were preoccupied with life lessons; hence, the easier verbal forms were devised. Depending on your background, some of these are not too pleasant to your ear.

During numerous incarnations souls have continued to use music as a means of conveying their messages and thoughts—with varying degrees of success. Your rappers are not really about the music but the lyrics. Their idea is that the music will cause people to be drawn to their statements. The effect that this noise has upon humans depends on whether they listen or not. It can be tuned out, just as something you do not want to hear from a critic may be disregarded.

Our influence is not a dynamic thing; it does not cause things to happen. Rather, we are advisers and counselors giving you an idea of the choices that are available for your selection.

ANSWER: We will not evaluate the beliefs of any particular person but think this is a good opening to talk about the creation of a person’s reality. All souls choose and then create the reality they wish to experience. Time is a constant only on planet Earth and is visualized in your human sense by the focus of each individual. Everything is energy and exists in all vibrations simultaneously.

People therefore have the ability to slip between various realities at will. Most choose to stay in one reality to accomplish whatever lesson they are undergoing. That does not mean they are totally unaware of the other dimensions in which they are not at that moment. They may sense another vibration and what it would be like if they entered it instead of staying where they are.

In every complicated life function, such as government, there are many facets. It is never possible to see what all the people involved in an economic trend are doing at the same time. In retrospect it is easy to replay and assign significance to actions that were not entirely responsible for a happening but could be construed to have had an effect.

Various souls having Earth incarnations need to be involved in patterns of behavior in order to complete their desired lesson. Just as slave masters (those who wished to experience the ultimate in controlling another human) were necessary to create slavery, there are souls whose lessons involve world order or domination. Sometimes these people bind together to create a cabal to accomplish their goal.

We have commented previously about the fact that Earth existences are not the only lifetime a soul may choose to experience. There are other planets and life forms, and sometimes they come to Earth to see how they can affect life here. Life influences art, and that is why movies and books occasionally talk about these same events.

To see how all of this works, let us say you wish to have a green lawn but you currently see nothing but arid soil. You may do the things necessary to grow and nurture your grass, you may paint the area with green paint, or you can stay inside and put a picture of a beautiful lawn on the inside of all your windows. This then becomes your reality even if it is not the reality others see. You can accept it so fully into your reality that even walking outside in that dusty soil you see only beautiful, healthy grass. Reality is what you create and what you allow yourself to see.

ANSWER: Time is a word that has many meanings on Earth. It basically describes a measurement used to understand a concept, such as how long it will take to grow an edible plant, or to travel from one spatial location to another. The premise is that these matters have a finite duration rather than an infinite one. You also have to be able to see the object in order to measure its movement and period of existence.

Humanity goes even further by recording past, present, and future occurrences using these measurements. When one talks about how long (in time) it took to get from one place to another in the past, how much shorter a period of time it takes now, and how it will be instantaneous in the future, one is using examples of time and, in the same instance, recording what one perceives as progress.

The soul and the energy around it that comprises the universe, are both infinite and therefore have no beginning, middle, or end points, so time does not exist for them. They are present in all that you on Earth see as time and in everything that has happened since your “time” began.

If a soul has experienced a human life and later wants to talk about the experience, it may do so in two different ways. Since time does not exist for the soul, it may concentrate its consciousness on the experience, and in so doing, jump back into the body and relive the exact moment in Earth time. Also, since the soul is not confined to a physical container (the body), it may split itself so it has all of its memories and knowledge intact, and reenter the body (where it has amnesia) with just a part of itself. The soul will still be able, with the remainder of itself, to  monitor all aspects of the lesson the body has chosen to learn.

We experience time by being everywhere at once. We are in your past, present, and future. We are in all locations at once. We observe time by observing the changes that occur in each of you as you are affected by the passage of time on your planet. We are able to slide from one of your time periods to another to see what choices you make and how they play out. You may look upon it as possessing an embedded recording device that has everything that has been, is, or will be. We merely scroll through to watch your life.

ANSWER: Rarely does a soul choose to live as a domesticated animal, and then only with full knowledge of the history of that species upon the planet. Most animals, and plants for that matter, are animated by a spark of energy rather than by a soul. Those sparks are not sentient and therefore don’t have the emotions, consciousness, perception, sensitivity, and feelings of a soul.

The human body, chosen for covering the soul in this Earth experience, was selected for its physical, mental, and emotional sensitivities. Humans require nutritional input frequently. The first generations were hunter-gatherers who lived only by what they could find or kill. It took centuries to develop ways to produce food that was easily attainable: breeding animals and growing crops.

Once life-sustaining issues were dealt with, humans began to explore their reason for being alive – what we now call spiritual purpose discovered through a spiritual awakening. As part of this insightful study they had the time to think about things around them that were not just needed to survive. People became involved in societies, religious doctrines, intellectual and philosophical discussions. They gave thought to people and things outside themselves and tried to justify their purpose and existence within his world.

Everyone is on an individual journey and can be involved in as many issues as desired. However, one soul can have no impact on the beliefs of another unless that other chooses to change beliefs. A number of the points you have brought up deal with life lessons that some of these souls are working on. Understand that this is their path. Send them love that they may find the answers they need to fulfill their task.

ANSWER: Americans have a way of entertaining the world with a lot of the things in which they engage, not the least of which is their entire election process. They appear to give power to each of their citizens but then have checks and balances placed to ensure that the will of the powerful is exercised. The political parties determine who will be their candidate supposedly after giving the little people a voice, and it might seem as if that is what happened this year. In one party, even amid threats of not seating delegates at the nominating convention, and super delegates not being responsive to the popular vote, the candidate with the majority of votes in the primaries won the nominations.

The first exercise of power by the presidential candidates is the selection of their running mates, the vice presidential nominees. This is basically a do-nothing position, unless the President transitions (dies) while in office. This year it is being used as a smoke screen to create further diversion away from what might be thought of as the more important policy positions of the parties. By the date of the election the public will know far more about the personal lives of the four candidates than they will ever learn about what they each claim they will do if sworn into office.

After the public votes, the “popular vote” as they call it, the representatives then determine the President by the number of electoral votes garnered, even at the expense of the individual votes. Are you beginning to see a pattern? So busy are you watching the right hand that the left hand may be controlled by someone else or may do anything that it pleases.

As the power that is perceived to be solely in the hands of one man or woman is also an illusion, what personal qualities are best? Any typical human strength will do. There is no unique mould for the job—it varies with the time. The thing that makes this process entertaining is an interesting personal story, a pleasant facial appearance, and a voice of good timbre.

Spiritually they, you, and everyone are just fulfilling life’s journey.

ANSWER: It is nice to have “readings” about your past lives but much more beneficial to have, through hypnosis or deep meditation, the experiences of the energies themselves. Once you reconnect with the feelings of a particular time and place, it is like the memory of a beloved vacation in your current lifetime that you can visualize and relive.

Many souls have chosen to experience being in the presence of the soul known as Jesus because of the work he undertook in that lifetime. It was a period of humankind when people were just starting to recognize that they had the ability to make their own decisions. Freedom of choice was unknown up to that point. Society and the hierarchy told everyone what to think and what to do. All aspects of living were controlled and beliefs were dictated.

Jesus came to Earth to be a “way-shower” – one who, by his example, allowed everyone to see what was possible and how to accomplish it. He introduced the populace to the concept of thinking for themselves and relying upon inner feelings instead of societal dictates – not just judging but accepting everyone’s individuality and loving their choices. His examples later became an organized religious practice instead of a demonstration of a spiritual path.

Your spiritual knowledge comes from having observed, and lived in, the period when a spiritual, loving direction was first explored. If you have the opportunity, go back to that time and “feel” the connection to the unconditionally loving Source energy that is present.

ANSWER: The entire world financial market is undergoing a readjustment based upon third-dimensional (earthly) reality. What has happened to your clients’ funds is the result of thousands of variables over which you had absolutely no control. Your clients entered into the financial scene to make money, and just as in any other business, there is no guarantee that gains will occur. Your market is famous for warning investors that “past performance is no guarantee of future return.” For the moment, chances of success are not unlike those of winning the lottery.

You read the market correctly to anticipate trends based upon past performance. You were not careless or reckless with your accounts. Just as a landlord cannot be held responsible to his tenant for the loss of use of his rental property due to a tornado or fire, you have no responsibility for the resulting disaster.

Your future will be dictated by your freedom of choice. It is natural for any caring individual to feel sympathy for those who have lost goods, money, or property through no fault of their own. The market will stabilize and begin to recover. The timing of this will depend on all the same forces that precipitated the crash. All investors will need agents with cool heads to assist them.

Use this situation as a lesson in the illusion of control. As much as you might believe you are in control of events, in your case buying and selling what you thought would produce the best returns, you have absolutely no control over the millions of other investors, companies, and government agencies that influence the market. No one thing controls the trend.

Go with the flow, and continue to observe and learn.

ANSWER: The soul that you know as Jesus incarnated and spent a life, under that name, on the Earth. Using other names you might recognize, he has also had other lives on the planet. His soul is the same as all other souls, yours and ours included.

To call someone a son or a daughter you must first have a condition in which there is a dichotomy of sexes, such as on Earth. However, in the energetic phase of the soul, there is no sexual distinction. Sex is merely something that is selected in order to have various experiences when incarnate.

The concept of God implies a belief in a supreme being who is in control and makes all the decisions for your time on Earth, and judges your performance while you are there. God is something outside of yourself and not connected to you. All souls are pieces of Source, who comprises all that exists. We are all descendants, since we were broken off from Source, but we have the same abilities as our origin.

“Sin” is a term that has been used to mean evil, incorrect, or wrong behavior, or within Christianity to mean failure to follow God’s rules. We would ask you: do you believe that it is possible to absolve something that has not yet been done or even thought of? This concerns the beliefs that various religions want you to hold in order to be a part of their congregation. It varies from organization to organization. It also is completely third dimensional, or of the Earth, because that is the only place where negativity exists.

Most of the “truths” you are speaking of, which have been adopted in Christianity and some forms of Islam, came third- or fourth-hand from mostly illiterate people who wanted miracles and redemption built upon the beliefs others convinced them to hold. Does any of it really matter? Know that a soul can accomplish any of the things that were spoken of because it is all-powerful, all-magnificent, all-knowing, and all-creative. But that goes for all souls, not just the one known as Jesus.

ANSWER: The perspective of every soul having a human experience is determined by their freedom of choice in deciding the belief systems by which they live their daily lives. All the world is an illusion put together by each soul to complete the lessons they choose to work on while in body.

Accepting, believing in, and living any particular religious belief or practice is within the discretion of the individual. Each author of a philosophy is expressing the beliefs in which they personally choose to exist and what has worked for them in the illusion they have constructed.

There are many, likeminded and conflicting, thoughts about human existences. You have to see which of the established theories resonates with you or if it is time to construct your own to suit your illusion. It is possible to flip back and forth between the possibilities until you feel comfortable.

Your final question is the result of an overload of other people’s beliefs concerning origin, with its cause and effect on planet Earth. The reason behind why you find yourself in your position is not as important as what you are doing right in that place. Knowing how something came about is gratifying but does not help with the nitty-gritty of working through daily life.

Some deep meditation joining with your Higher Self will provide some of the answers you seek. We can tell you the progression of the universe, but it may not resonate with your illusion at this time. Just live in the moment and go with the flow, and what you chose to experience will be brought to you.

ANSWER: How many times do you need to ignore your immediate surroundings before you accept that being present in the moment will keep you away from negativity? The appearance of poison sumac has not changed since the last time you came in contact with it.

Souls in human bodies learn their life lessons through experiencing negativity, understanding how it came into their area, and seeing what they have to do to keep it away. Some lessons need these irritants you have mentioned, along with the infestations and diseases, in order to learn about themselves and make the choices necessary to complete the tasks they planned before coming to Earth.

Physical suffering gets the attention of the afflicted. Otherwise, they may ignore the potential for harm, refuse to take preventive measures, and willingly place themselves in harm’s way from some sense of invincibility.

These ailments provide the possibility of experiencing victimhood, feelings of a lack of control, faith in one’s own healing abilities, depression, hopelessness, hopefulness, allowing assistance from others for the first time, and just about every other possible lesson within the duality.

This situation was a joint creation process of all souls to provide sufficient causative agents to bolster the lessons. Difficulty makes you take notice and gets you thinking about and working toward a solution. In the spiritual process, the solution is understanding why you attracted it to yourself in the first place and making the choices necessary to fulfill the plan.

ANSWER: Your understanding about his time in Earth’s history comes from the collection of writings done long after the fact – not by people who observed the events, but by those who compiled the stories that were told to them. The recordation you repeat is the one that ties up all the necessary requirements for presenting the betrayal, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

All the followers of Jesus, as remembered in the later writings, were given certain tasks to have fulfilled in order to be teachers for those who came after in forming religious principles. The tales start with the last supper so that the players could be delineated. Each could then be worked into stories of dedication, martyrdom, faithfulness, awareness, and loyalty. All forms of Christianity use the Bible as their basis of faith.

While the Bible was written initially a short period after the events depicted, it was also “edited” a number of times by leaders of various religious groups, mainly those elected as Popes, to provide the doctrines they felt were “best” for the organization’s continued existence and strength.

Judas’s place in history was to be the betrayer who later understood, and could not live with, what he had done. To bring about the crucifixion, there had to be someone who would get the Romans into a position of capturing Jesus when he had previously been continually surrounded by his disciples.

Judas was asked to be this instigator and, in his dedication to Jesus, he agreed. But even though he had been asked and merely fulfilled the desires of his master, he could not live with the aftermath. Had he not played his part, the death and resurrection would have been carried out without the fanfare that made it so noted by so many people.  

The Romans wanted him out of their hair, but a public ridicule was designed to weaken the hold his beliefs had upon his followers. The resurrection, into the light, was what was needed to show the connection between the physical and the nonphysical soul. None of this could happen without a betrayal, which the authorities hoped would show Jesus’ teachings as having no real credibility within the supporters. Judas did his master’s bidding.

ANSWER: The word “Urantia” is used by the writers of a collection of papers, which have been collected into the Urantia Book, Urantia being their word for your planet Earth. While the papers were written by beings on Earth, they are about their understanding of Earth deities, the composition of non-Earth beings and their hierarchies and the origin, and the cause and activities of recognized Earth deities’ sojourn in human form.

In addition to the section you mention concerning the life of Jesus on Earth, the book also chronicles the master spirits and all the “super-universe” beings that comprise all existence—in the opinion of the writers of these papers. Historical research from biblical writings and early documentation is interwoven into the fabric of this book.

The Urantia Organization even admits that the writings are a “retelling” of this information, based upon Urantia (Earth) recordings. In other words, they did a book report from all available materials. The writers say their purpose for this book is to assist humans with their understanding of terms such as God, deity, divinity—things normally within the purview of religious organizations.

As with all materials on your planet, and coming from other sources, we encourage you to read all with an open mind and heart. Do not accept anything as truth until you take it into your heart and see how it feels to you. Does the material resonate within you? If it does, then accept it as your reality until something that resonates more strongly comes into your awareness.

ANSWER: The term “Christ” is an honorary title that has been used throughout history to refer to a person who is considered by organized religions as a messiah, or the anointed or chosen one who will fulfill their doctrines. In the translations from the ancient languages into modern-day tongues, the term has been attached to the name Jesus.

The soul known as Jesus of Nazareth has always had the purpose of being a “way-shower.” He has been the figure to introduce knowledge, compassion, love, and understanding to the masses of humanity. In the life as Jesus of Nazareth, he came to show the incarnated souls that it was possible to rid themselves of the negativity of the third-dimensional, ego-based world and to enter the unconditional love dimension of the Source. This is represented in the stories of his life by the crucifixion, ascension, and resurrection.

Jesus did have a number of other human lives before the life you mention. Each dealt with teaching people using oral traditions, which were the only things available at the time. It is not important for you to know the particular lives – you would recognize each of them as being a personality from historical religious records. Several major religions were brought into existence in order to perpetuate the principles he taught.

He was a Master because he spent a number of insignificant lives, at least as far as history is concerned, to learn and understand the precepts he came back to spread to others. He has visited non-duality worlds to know and understand every possible aspect that a soul may choose to encounter, and how things look when you only partake of them in a positive environment.

ANSWER: All souls and Source have insatiable curiosity. Since they came into being in perfect unconditional love, they wish to find out what the opposite of perfection feels like, how it acts, and what it means. That is the purpose for the creation of a duality of positive and negative energy – so that all things are possible.

When a soul desires to answer these questions, it sets up a human existence to explore the possibilities. Usually that entails a complete human cycle from insemination through the growing stages into adulthood. If a soul just wishes to see how a single event “feels,” and if they see a soul preceding them who has had the same experience they desire, they can drop into that soul’s part and enact the event.

Consider that all events in humankind allow for certain sets of activities. Say someone has lived through the Holocaust and endured its atrocities. A soul, while examining the ultimate control of one human being over another, may wish to feel that exact set of physical emotions and distress. Since time is not linear in reality, the soul can just hop back or forward to re-visit and “live” that event.

The factual basis is that they assume the part of that actor, or actress, for the duration of the portrayal they want to have. Want to see what it was like to be Mary Magdalene during the time of the crucifixion? Or Paul during what is now called “Holy Week” ending in the resurrection? How about Charles Lindbergh as he battled across the Atlantic? Or Winston Churchill during Dunkirk? All of these are possible to an eternal soul.

These are not lives – they are incident reenactments. The soul has all the sensations of the original portrayers but is only staying for a brief period of that life. It is like an understudy going on for the main character to get experience.

ANSWER: The first way the “light” has been reported is by those who have had Near Death Experiences (NDE) in which their body dies but then is revived or brought back to life. The second way is in accounts of souls on the Other Side of physicality talking about their individual journey back Home. The last way is by writers who have no idea what happens but want to pretend they do, so they take some of the material from the above two circumstances and invent their own stories.

In NDE reports, some souls experience going down a bright tunnel leading them from the dark density of Earth to the clarity of being with pure souls. This brightness is generally used so that the soul can see what it is supposed to see, but everything else is blurred or too out of focus to understand. During the NDE it is known to all but the soul having the experience that it is going to return to its body. The purpose of the NDE is for the soul to meet and obtain information from a deceased relative or spiritual person it respects or admires. Light means that nothing can be hidden, and what you see is what is. Those who have had many lives and transitions simply go immediately into their non-physical form without needing a comfortable process.

All souls come to Earth to learn about their essence and to be able to use some of their powers while in human form. Romantic love and marriage are life lessons that can take many forms and teach much about dealing with others and understanding oneself.

ANSWER: Organized religions are one of the ways that humans use to decide how to live their lives. There are those who belong to a church for guidance and a sense of protection so that they do not have to make any decisions themselves; they allow the church to dictate their every thought and move and to make all of their choices for them. These people never realize they have freedom of choice about every aspect of their life.

Then there are the people brought up in a religion and the congregation becomes their family. They maintain membership so they have a group with which to socialize, causes to spend time on, and scheduled interaction with others. They will never feel alone as long as they belong to the group.

Your aunt had a need to be needed and to be a part of something, and the church provided that for her. She parroted back the doctrine and beliefs but didn’t spend too much time on whether she fully adhered to the principles. She tried to live in positivity and shun any negativity that would lead to disputes and anger. She liked the path of least resistance.

When she transitioned, her last thoughts – compliments of her friends – were of pearly gates and a smiling God to welcome her home. She had no fears of a negative judgment because of the way she had lived her life. She found Home to be unconditional love with no judgment, and plenty of other friends and relatives were present to help her remember about her essence as a piece of Source and to go over and appreciate the lessons she accomplished during her life. Her prior religion had been based on judgment and she found none here, so it ceased to have any effect on her.

She watches and visits you. She is aware of your life and what has had an impact on you and wishes you would believe in yourself more and follow your intuition – the little voice that gives you advice. She wants you to know you can always talk to her for comfort.

ANSWER: Souls who have spent their current physical life in places where there is no human love do not know what is possible. If they can connect to their internal soul’s unconditional love, they strive to bring that feeling into their existence.

Your “love” does not know what love is. He has convinced himself that caring for someone and having a physical intimate relationship with them is love. Not only has he not experienced interpersonal intimacy, he has never even seen it except in movies. He loves you dearly in his own way, which is much the same as an owner loves a beloved pet.

It is possible that you can show him what he is missing—if he is willing to give you the time. Introduce him to films where a heartfelt connection is established between the characters. He spends so much time invested in securing wealth because he needs a goal. Turn that goal into a familial relationship with your future family.

Having a child before he is aware of the importance of a sharing, loving family would be unfair to the infant. You are correct that your feelings are interfering with conception. An alternative, for you, is to want the baby in order to have an unconditionally loving person in your life, accepting that you may be alone in this connection. It is possible that his observation of the joyous satisfaction you derive from a close contact with a child might trigger a feeling of physical closeness within him. But be prepared to have him remain as he is, with you having full responsibility for the child.

ANSWER: This question really started an interesting discussion among us. Our first point of interest was what we would consider a “good” resolution – you do know that we do not judge good, bad, or best. But then we laid semantics aside and dived into the issue. Our point of view was from a rather different perspective than yours might be: we looked from the angle of souls wishing to complete their mission to Earth. With that in mind, our list would read:

1. To become aware of our true nature.
2. To love all souls sharing this journey with us even when we do not like the nature of their chosen lessons.
3. To accept ourselves fully as we are because it is necessary for the path we walk.
4. To learn to banish all fear so we might see the lesson within.
5. To understand the lessons we came to Earth to learn.
6. To trust in the universe, knowing it will not give us more than we can endure.
7. To have faith in our self because we are divine.
8. To know we create our own reality, so we have the power to create what we need to complete our journey.
9. To be able to release the human ego to enjoy fully the unconditional love of the soul.
10. To live each day in communion with our fellow souls in unconditional love.

Happy Earth New Year to all!

A: You know that the first part of our answer is going to be that you have “freedom of choice” to do what you feel is best for you, but we have to say that. That said, we have some ideas to share with you.

In either environment you will be able to sample all the possibilities. So let’s see the major differences. You are a “people person” and thrive in an environment where you can really get to know your classmates. At community college most of the students are going part time to be able to move up from some nonproductive job that they are currently in. They do not stick around and get to know their classmates. In university, where the majority of the students live in, you spend 24 hours a day with them and truly get to know them both in academic and social situations.

Your family is very close-knit and they are going through a transformation right now. If you remain at home your attention will be on the family’s energy instead of your own evolution. You have not had an opportunity to be completely responsible for your own every move, but that would come in an area where you are away from home the majority of the time.

If you sense that it is important to “be there” for your family, community college would provide that opportunity. They would benefit from your input but do not necessarily need it. Staying near home would provide a slower, gentler transition to independence.

We trust that the forgoing discussion will give you some idea about possible paths. Remember, neither is right or wrong. You must choose what feels the most comfortable for you, and you alone.

ANSWER: Jung and Freud interjected spirituality into their work by considering that there was more than a physical side to their patients. They just never wrote it into their techniques because it couldn’t be physically substantiated. The problem you have found with an integration of modern techniques and daily life comes out when you consider that the definition of psychology is the science of the mind and the behaviors it exhibits.

Spirituality deals not with the conscious mind but with the soul, which does not dictate behaviors, nor is it part of your consciousness. The soul consists of unconditional love, has no judgmental capabilities, and follows no set rules based on belief systems.

The easiest way for you to use spirituality within your practice is to lead a life based on its principles. Feel the need your patients have for change and the way to obtain it. All souls are different, and comparing them to norms is doing them a disservice. Help them to see that most of their difficulties come from a lack of awareness that they have freedom of choice. They need to approach their fears and doubts as signposts for the life lessons they have chosen. By going into these, they pinpoint the blockages and can learn their way through.

ANSWER: There are no physical locations in the spirit world unless a group of souls collectively choose to create one. Souls are amorphous (without form) in their spiritual Home. While it is true that one soul may assist another soul to integrate back into the life as a soul, or to understand or even plan for a subsequent life, it is mostly done through thought projection.

You are an older soul who has spent many lifetimes incarnate. You have become a Master of all the various ways to help people learn about being souls and to take advantage of the possibilities for growth while on Earth. Knowledge and understanding are your tools.

What you saw in your LBL were some of the various ways you have helped newly returned souls out of their in-between phase of not totally accepting their energetic state, which incidentally causes them to remain partially in the physical dimension until they release their physical form. You were demonstrating to them how they shift from one form into another to start a different life.

You have indeed explored other worlds, besides your duality, in order to achieve knowledge that you could share with others and potentially help guide them to new experiences they might never have considered. This is all part of your choice to be an advisor for journeying souls.

All your lives have been spent putting together a personal library of reference material in your passion for helping others. This has played a major role in most of your previous lives, and your current one as well. It still holds passionate energy, as many times as you have chosen to get involved, and you will probably choose to continue – but the choice is yours.
