Psychic Contact

ANSWER: You are extremely sensitive both to energies picked up through touch and to wavelengths that are around you. Just as you “turned off” your abilities for a period of time, you may, with practice, turn on and off your receptors. You will be able to choose when to feel things through your hands and emotions. This ability will not come all at once; you will have to practice to tune your sensitivity.

Any time you unequivocally stop the flow of energy into or by your body, you create barricades that stop up the flow of your physical nerves and bodily functions, which will present as ill health. When you sense stomach issues or digestive problems, concentrate on having energy flow through your body, pushing any blockages out of the way.

When you reach out to another, it is important that you have asked your guides to protect you from the effects of the other’s negativity. Lessons are presented in negative energy so they may be recognized and dealt with. The scene you picked up from your friend was a lesson he faced but did not deal with in another lifetime. If he went back and examined it, he would be able to remove its hurtful negativity and never have to feel it again. This is a way for you to help people clear their blockages if you so choose.

The feelings you pick up from around others can be analyzed to see if they have negative attachments, which the two of you will be able to remove by over-powering them with positive unconditional love. These are abilities you have used in other lives and wanted to have available again in case you decided to help others in this life. The choice is up to you.

ANSWER: In the US the objects of luck are rabbit’s feet, horse shoes, and “lucky” pennies found or gifted from a favorite person. None of these things has any religious or cult connotations. Religious practices give psychological power to objects, imbuing them with magical implications. Statues, candles, snakes, incense, wooden objects such as crosses or rosaries, certain books and prayers are all held to have power over people. Relics are the closest to the objects you speak of. The “power” of an object is with the beholder—if you give it deference it can influence your thinking.

Analyze what these magicians say of the creation of their Gumanthong or other objects. The basic premise is that the child died, or was never alive as in the case of a fetus, and they retrieve the carcass from a graveyard. Once a human, or bundle of cells that contains a soul, ceases to be alive, the soul departs the physical and goes back home. What remains in the physical is nothing more than an old discarded shell once used by a soul.

It is impossible to return the soul to the shell once it has vacated it. Therefore it is impossible to imprison a soul within an object. The whole process of creating a horrible object, allegedly containing the soul of an unwilling child, is to produce fear that is then used to control the devotees.

Most of the traditions that deal in this type of black magick are from areas where the population is uneducated and ignorant of everything but what the magicians tell them.

Each soul has freedom of choice. You create and accept the series of beliefs that become your belief system. They can be changed at any time they do not feel right or do not serve your purpose and direction in life. General statements like the Earth is flat, the Earth is the center of the universe, and Santa Claus is a real person who delivers gifts to you each Yule can be part of your beliefs—or not. What resonates with you? Keep it and discard the rest.

ANSWER: When someone has had a highly emotional experience, a residual or shadow energy remains. When you engage in an argument with an individual, their unconscious mind will sometimes “leak” thoughts of other things that were very emotional in their past, and this broadcasts them out to sensitive individuals nearby. You are an extremely sensitive person and can hear these thoughts.

In your past lives you developed your psychic abilities to a fine degree. You were able to communicate with others through the intention of your mind alone. A modern-day psychic “knows” things by reaching out to the thoughts of a client and picking up the thoughts that the higher self or unconscious has stored from its experiences. You have this ability.

Your ability may be considered as super-sensitive hearing. It is like being able to hear what your next-door neighbor is talking about, but you don’t need voice-created sound waves to intercept thoughts. This is something that you can control as you see fit. What you do with it is up to you. It may be very important to some people to understand what they are projecting. It may explain to some people why others appear to have strange reactions to them that are, in fact, responses to their negative inner thoughts.

ANSWER: Whenever you can put away your expectations and use divination techniques, whether it be pendulums, muscle testing, scrying [ed.: gazing into something translucent – crystal ball, water, mirror, etc.], swaying, or other methods, you are tapping into your higher self and / or the universe. These techniques may require nothing more than your body parts, or maybe a neck chain or a car key on a fob for the pendulum.

The above methods rely on the practitioner to interpret the results. They are very definitely influenced by your thoughts and desires, but if the conscious mind has been disengaged they are also very accurate. If you spend time thinking about what you want the results to be, you will get the results you seek. If you give up your expectations and just ask the question and let it be answered, you will get a clear yes or no not influenced by your thoughts.

There are other practices you may use to get your answers. They require some study to see the trends that predominate, and are not as definitive to the individual, but they give you the energy the universe has contributed. These practices include astrology, numerology, tarot, runes, and many, many more.

All these that have been mentioned are tools and nothing more. Your inner essential energy will help you find the direction you are going if you step back and let it speak to you. It is vitally important that you let your judgment ego go, release expectations, and go with the flow. Don’t anticipate, don’t question; merely see if the result resonates with you. If it is in synchrony with your body the answer is truth for you.

ANSWER: We get asked this question in many different formulations: Which way is correct? What is the best person to help me? How do I access my gifts? What do I need to do to increase my abilities? The answer is different for each soul who asks.

Each soul is on an individual path, able to hear, feel, and see things in its own unique way. When you go out to purchase a new vehicle you start by asking yourself a bunch of questions. What do I want to use it for? What do I want it to look like? How much am I able to spend? How large does it need to be to fulfill my needs? What type of engine do I want to have? What mileage is the minimum that I want to receive? How many people does it need to accommodate? Only after deciding the answers do you know where to begin your search.

When it comes to healing and psychic abilities you need to define for yourself what you feel is the direction you wish to take. In the healing field, do you want to do hands-on healing like massage therapy or acupuncture, or do you want to do energetic work like Reiki or chakra balancing, or do you prefer therapy through hypnosis? Psychically, do you feel called to do work helping physical or non-physical beings? Do you want to locate water, minerals, or missing people? Or is the importance for you being able to communicate with your guides and the ascended ones?

Once you have defined your goal, you read, question, and open yourself to the energy of any person or program that is appealing to you. Some of the teachers who are out there are trying to make a living from their abilities, so they will be like any good salesperson and try to tell you why their product is the best. Just as single people do not need huge SUVs or gas-guzzling trucks for basic transportation, those simply wishing to learn about themselves through communication with their guides do not have to go through multiple stages of a healing-school curriculum to speak to them in meditation.

When you know what you want, open up your energy and feel what each person you talk to, or brochure you read, is saying about your path. Is it resonating with you? Do you get that warm, gushy feeling that you are being loved and hugged by the energy? If so, then jump on board because it will take you for the ride you are seeking.

ANSWER: You had decided to come to Earth with a remembrance of a number of the gifts and abilities you had perfected in past lives. Some came easily to you and increased the range of feelings and emotions you were able to read and share with the souls with which you came in contact.

This soul appeared when he did to give you some perspective on your abilities and what you could do with them. He is one of your soul mates and, as you know, you have had many lifetimes with him. The two of you had not felt it necessary to be together in this period of time but rather for him to be a stimulus to awakening more of your skills. His path was to have a loving family, which he is guiding through life’s challenges.

You have let your third-dimensional romantic ideas take over and distract you from your spiritual journey. As with all of life’s interactions, this is neither right nor wrong. You may continue to pine for him to come into your life, which he has not planned, or you can thank him for the wake-up call he gave you and move on to something else.

You are acting like a spoiled little soul who has experienced Home again and does not want to have anything else but the ultimate. You don’t want to have to work anymore. One of your lessons concerns perspective: deciding what is it you came to learn and seeing whether you can disregard the distractions and get down to business.

Choose the positive feelings and follow their lead. If romance is your only goal, spirituality will be difficult to include. You don’t have to be a slave to your gifts, either. You may put them aside and move in another direction. Go into your intuition and feel your way forward.

ANSWER: Your partner fears the unknown; he loves you deeply and wants to be able to see what is happening and to be able to protect the two of you from harm. He has seen too many programs and movies about evil, harmful spirits and he is afraid there is nothing that will protect you. He is completely closed off to feelings from outside that do not have an origin in a human or animal body. He has felt the energy of spirits but has always found another explanation for the experience.

One soul cannot change another unless that other wants to change. You may start an education process with your partner where you introduce him to some writings of fantastic occurrences between living people and free spirits (Ghosts). Gently let him see some material on past-life regressions that people have used to better their lives. The choice of what to include in one’s belief system is still up to the individual.

You are very aware of the moods of people and can judge where they are headed in their thinking. You can also see the obstacles that are right in front of them but they cannot see. Friends and others seek you out for advice because of your abilities, and this you equate with psychic ability. It is and it isn’t.

Intuition, being able to “feel” the energy of another physical being, is a psychic ability. This sense is a resonance between two physical bodies, yours and the sender’s. Being able to feel others does not mean you will be able to communicate with those in spirit form, nor even be able to pull thoughts from the unconscious  mind out of the ether.

Your ability to “read” relates to the state of where the person’s physical balance currently lies. You are excellent at counseling people to help them see their way. Use your abilities in this fashion and your partner will not know you are tapping into your intuition.

A. Messages that come through from the energetic plane are subject to interpretation by those who deliver them. We do not communicate in a language that is unequivocally understandable; rather, we convey thoughts, pictures, and sensations that have to be translated into your language.

The degree to which the receiver can eliminate personal thoughts and just repeat ours indicates how accurate the reading will be. No person who is translating ideas from the other side is 100% accurate all the time.

There is another influence that affects the accuracy of readings. It has to do with the wisdom that readers have about spiritual matters so that they can interpret our sayings. When receivers color the information we provide with their own incorrect beliefs as to how life is on the other side, the readings cannot then be accurate.

The last, but definitely not the least important, factor is whether the receivers are making sure that they are talking only to souls of the light and not to discarnate souls who have left their bodies but still inhabit the Earth plane. These beings generally love to make people miserable because they themselves have not returned to the unconditional love of Home and want others to feel lost as they are.

Each soul determined before coming into a physical body what lessons it wished to learn, and when it wished to return Home. Of course it does not have any memory of that now, but it has made contracts with others to be available to help them with various issues and will not leave until they are complete.

Your husband still has a number of things he has promised to complete, both with you and with the children. His soul can exercise freedom of choice to modify those promises, but it has no such ideas at the present time. Rest easy.

ANSWER: You are very empathic, which means you can feel the energy around you. Most people, if they open themselves to the atmosphere in a room, can tell when there has been an angry argument or tumultuous laughter occurring in the space before they arrived. This is residual energy. People who are upset give off waves of their emotional feelings which can easily be read by others. You may call this using your intuition or your psychic ability.

As with each soul, you have the choice to decide exactly how you wish to feel. If you are having a sad day and come upon people who are laughing and having a good time, you may open to their happiness and transform your state to match theirs or remain morose. This is easy enough to do, but most people like to share their negativity with others; they don’t want to become happy just because others are, but would rather try to get others to become unhappy to join their mood.

One definition of psychic is the ability to perceive that which is invisible. Therefore, anyone who senses the moods of others, is able to feel fear or sexuality, or employs intuition is psychic. It is very real but impossible to measure or show to anyone else.

This is not becoming the other person; it is mimicking their emotional state. You are definitely not crazy but more aware of energy than most people. It is not a strange power but the recognition of power as it is given off by others.

ANSWER: As your soul travels through a series of lifetimes it experiences many things. Since the basis of Earth learning is choosing positive over negative, you have to start with negativity to move forward. Some existences are filled with negative thoughts, feelings, and beings. Some souls make bargains with other negative spirits to get the opportunities they desire.

As a soul completes a particularly negative life and returns to the unconditional love of Home, some of the negative issues may remain unresolved and get left behind. That resulting negativity may be free flowing and attach to the soul when it returns, or it may accompany another soul who has chosen not to return to positive love but to remain as a discarnate lost soul clinging to Earth and waiting to exact revenge upon the soul with which it had dealings not yet completed.

You are correct that the immediate problem arose from former life dealings with negative agreements that you left behind. The energy was not free flowing, so it did not pop up in your life until the one with whom you had made the agreements came along to exact vengeance for being left holding the bag of negativity by retaliating with psychic attacks.

To remove this series of attacks from your future, you simply need to cut the strings that connect you to the other spirit. This can be done via past-life regression by returning to that life and resolving your feelings about the situation and removing the fear that accompanies it. If you can meditate deeply enough, you can do it that way as well.

You are facing some responsibilities you assumed in that life but did not complete out of fear. If you understand what the lesson was and why you did not choose to finish it, you will be able to send the fear and your attacker away. Once it cannot impact you, the discarnate will move on to another soul.

ANSWER: First premise of the soul’s journey: You are always where you are supposed to be when you are there. As you go through the human process, it is directed by the choices you make at the moment, not something you determined before coming to Earth.

You are a “wannabe”—not an unusual thing for a human. You see or read about something and you want to be that person or be able to do that thing. You have therefore developed a belief system of already being in tune with nature and the universe and therefore always right. The problem is that you know this is not true because you are having trouble getting your imagination and dreams to match what is happening to you and around you.

Strong beliefs can feel absolutely right to you. You have created a fantasy world about this person and she hardly knows you exist. Spending time thinking about her has equated to reality in you but is nothing more than a fantasy world, like celebrity worship.

The blockages you are experiencing have to do with the fact that you never completely shut down your thinking mind when you are trying to connect with the non-physical energies. Your mind makes its own interpretation of what is happening instead of letting the spirits and your higher self give you a picture of the action. Dreaming by itself will not make something happen.

This person is in your life for you to realize what you are creating is imagination, when you think you are manifesting. Intention is the key to producing something with which you can physically interact. Spend time on meditating until you reach the silence where there is no interference. Then let your higher self inform you what you had planned for this lifetime.

ANSWER: A soul comes to Earth to learn certain life lessons and, once the lessons are completed, to understand who they are as a soul. Every soul is a piece of Source, who is all-powerful, all-magnificent, all-knowing, and all-creative. Simply put, that means that a soul undergoing a human existence has the ability to utilize all the same powers and abilities as its Source origin.

Outside of the physical body, your essence is pure energy unless and until you decide to take some type of physical form. As energy, you can go anywhere and do anything you wish. Intention is the driving force. Want to relocate? Wish it and you are there. Want to change your environment? Imagine it and it is so. Your relocation can be done instantaneously or by leisurely “flying” to the new position.

When you “realize” upon reentering your physical form that you cannot do what you have just experienced, it is by choice. You have the ability to do anything, but you have not included it within your choices for your reality.

The fear is part of your journey to Earth. Doubts and fears define the tests a soul presents to its human self. To accept these possibilities, you have to get out of your head where the idea of impossibility is controlling your thinking. This is part of the ego mind, which is society’s concept that you need to rate, grade, and judge all actions taking place.

Accepting that this is true in your life is allowing others (society) to make all your decisions for you. Stop thinking and start “feeling” what you believe you can do – understanding there are no limitations.

Your dreams, which are really journeys your soul is making while your body is in a state of rest, are attempting to remind you of what your essence is capable of. It is like a post-graduate course in soul recognition, and not for everyone. If it begins to resonate with you, work on taking trips while meditating. The possibilities beyond that are unlimited.

ANSWER: The effectiveness depends on your beliefs about the needed actions. Anyone can use the universal life force, or unconditional loving Source energy, at any time, for any reason, merely by presenting the intention to the universe. You don’t need symbols or even hand signals unless you believe they are needed.

All healing energy does is balance the physical body back to its original state. It takes two people to accomplish that: the practitioner who is calling on the energy and directing it to the client, and the client having the faith that the energy is going to help them restructure their physical infirmity.

The practitioner must not become vested in the outcome or think that they are the reason for any healing that is accomplished, beyond being the conduit for the energy.

The client must accept that they can be healed and maintain that intention throughout the sessions. If they have doubts about the effectiveness, it diminishes the results. If they have called the imbalance in the first place, like thinking they will get breast cancer because so many of their relatives have had it, they may bring the disease back unless they can accept their own ability to create the reality within which they live.

Some Reiki students believe that the flow of energy cannot begin unless they invoke the Reiki symbols. This initially was taught so that only those chosen by the teacher would be regarded as able to conduct the energy. Intention is the only “tool”
needed to get the energy flowing.

All forms of energy healing, regardless what titles they go by, use the same universal energy. Some have even more symbols and procedures than Reiki – but they too may begin with intention alone.

ANSWER: When you find yourself ungrounded, flailing around with no direction or purpose, you fall prey to the default setting of human life, which is anything and everything negative. Black magic is pure negativity. When you give up hope and say “whatever” you are asking the universe to give you a new experience. Then, whatever negativity is around will enter into your life and cause you problems because you have given it permission to enter by your indifference.

To remove the effect of negativity you must take steps to let it know that it is no longer welcome and you want it to leave. There are some people out there who have had experience with helping to remove and block the negative spirits. The woman who preyed on you is a faker. She has no particular abilities except to know how to intimidate those who are afraid so that she can force them to give her money. She has not kept the magic in place because she has no talent to do so.

What happened to you is that you believed so strongly in what she told you that you doubted your ability to do anything yourself. You must first find your inner strength. Your soul, which animates your body, is a piece of the Creator, so if you allow yourself, you can create whatever you need to free you of this negative energy.

You have to accept that there is power within you and that you can use it to manifest what you need to move your life forward. Surround yourself with the white light of unconditional love. Tell all negativity that you revoke permission for it to be in you or attached to you. Wash your body with love and replace with positivity the negative energy you have chased away.

Once the negative attachments are gone, start manifesting financial success. You have the means to do that if you believe you do.

ANSWER: A soul has complete freedom of choice as to what they wish to do. When a soul has incarnated into a human body and then the body ceases to be viable for one reason or another, the soul then has choices. It may remain in the environment it had just inhabited as a person. If so, it is generally to finish up some tasks begun before death. Some souls are even unaware that they are no longer corporeal (possessed of a body) and flit around as if still alive trying to complete work.

There are also souls who have negative thoughts about revenge or getting even with whoever caused their demise or with others they believe offended them in life. Another reason to stay on in the in-between status is fear that they will not go to what they believe is heaven but will instead be relegated to hell. At any time they wish, they can enter unconditional love using intention alone.

The souls who partake in mediumship events are not all “stuck” in-between. Souls who have returned to Source and unconditional love have the ability to speak to those remaining by using a medium to establish a physical presence. A soul at Home has the ability to go wherever they desire whenever they desire.

Those tormented souls who appear at a medium’s table are the confused souls who don’t want to exercise their own freedom of choice but want someone else to tell them what they must do. If they had no spiritualistic understanding while in body, they have no idea how powerful they are in determining their futures. They do not know about using intention to change status. They do not understand the term “freedom of choice” and think they have none. Be kind and inform them that all they have to do is intend to be Home, and they will be there.

ANSWER: The word “creator” causes some potential difficulties in understanding. Source, God, Creator – whatever term you prefer – did not create, generate, or fashion souls out of some other substance within the universe, but used its own essence and broke off, or separated, pieces of itself in order for them to have their own consciousness and experiences, which would vary from their Source’s own experiences.

The essence of Source is unconditional love, and it exists in a place that abounds in nothing but positive energy. It knows what it is but, never having existed in negativity, did not appreciate the powers and abilities it possessed when having to make choices to remain in positivity. For example, one who has only lived in a temperate climate has no idea what it is like to freeze and cope in blustery winter weather.

“Dimensions” are not physical places. Source and its separated souls do not have corporal bodies unless they choose to come into a planet such as Earth. They are amorphous, cloud-like masses of energy that can be in one location or many, depending on their wishes.

When we speak of dimensions, we refer mostly to the “locations” or stages along the journey of a soul from unconditional love, through negativity and its working through lessons, to its return to unconditional love. We also use the term to distinguish among a physical being, a physical being who spends a good deal of time in unconditional love, and a soul existing solely in the nonphysical state of unconditional love.

Source is aware of everything that occurs, wherever it may be happening. On occasion, it has a desire to communicate with souls having physical experiences, and it does so generally by transferring thoughts to that person. Most of the time it will observe and watch as each soul’s individual guides intercede and establish physical-to-nonphysical communication.

Source just “IS” – it has always been and will always be. It is the single and only energy source of everything that exists within our universe.

ANSWER: At night you are relaxing your conscious, manipulative mind and allowing the flow of your unconscious higher self to come through. You are in a type of meditation which quiets the thinking mind. This is a pure state that allows you to tap into the flow of the energy of the universe. You are hearing the discussions that one aspect of yourself, in a higher dimensional level, is having with other souls in that same higher dimensional level.

This is a form of automatic writing. For some people the ideas come from outside of themselves. You are only conscious of conversations and discussion in which you are taking part.

ANSWER: During your teen years you were uninhibited when it came to openness with the non-physical energies around you. You became a conduit for spirits who desired to have a voice. This is something that you have done in many past lives and comes naturally to you. Some of these were beautiful beings of the light and some were discarnate souls stuck in the heavy Earth energies because they didn’t want to let go and move on.

During your awakening to spiritual awareness, part of your learning taught you the difference between positive and negative energy. On a deep unconscious level, you now realize some of the old contacts were not of the light. This has tempered your inner desire to re-establish contact.

With your prior experience it will be easy to reconnect if you overcome those inner fears. Be very cautious as you open up the channels that you protect yourself against negative energies. Put out the intention that only beings of the light come into your communications.

Your first step should be to open a consistent dialogue with your own guides. They can then help introduce you to other beings of the light who may assist you. There are a number of spirits who are ready to help. Just ask them!

ANSWER: As the physical covering of your soul (your body) goes through its restorative period (sleep), your conscious soul, of which you are normally unaware, takes over your thought processes. Most people having any remembrance of this time period call the snippets of information “dreams.”

Your soul engages in a number of different things during this period. It sometimes goes back and relives experiences it had previously, test-drives ideas it has for new experiences, insinuates itself into someone else’s life or dream sequences, confers with its advisors, or entertains itself in some other manner. A number of spiritual groups refer to this as “going to night school.” Depending on the intensity of the involvement, you may even wake up tired afterwards instead of rested.

Frequently what will pop up during this time are activities that played through your head prior to sleep. This can be the result of a movie, a novel, or anything else to which you gave a lot of thought. Abilities you possess as a soul, which are a part of your being but which you cannot perform with a physical body, such as flying, figure prominently in dreams—particularly in children because the abilities have so recently become impossible.

Your conscious mind, when it becomes aware of these memories of things in which you can no longer participate because of your physicality, makes attempts to prevent a continuance of these behaviors. One of the results is that you snap back into the physical body with a jolt. If the conscious mind becomes awake during a session, it will try to prevent the continuation of something it knows you cannot do. This will result in a physical sensation of restraint.

As you relax into accepting your true identity as a soul, you can tell your unconscious that you wish to dream about your ability to complete some act. This gives you permission to spend time exploring whatever you wish. Happy travels.

ANSWER: A human who receives information from the nonphysical world has many difficulties in reception and interpretation. The information relayed to you by this medium was a combination of your soul’s history intertwined with that of the discarnates that were attached to you.

You have had many previous lives in body, testified to by the ease with which you completed your chosen lessons this life and the comfort level of dealing with humanity itself. One of the discarnates was experiencing its first incarnation and that was why it had not returned Home. You were chosen to attach to because your light shone very brightly to them from the wisdom you had previously gathered.

There is no division, such as a specific angelic realm, when in your soul essence. You are preparing to be a guide from beyond to those choosing to experience Earth for the first or second time once you return from this lifetime.

You have had a plethora of past lives, exploring as many possibilities for lessons as you could. You wanted a “toolbelt” full of wisdom to share with others. One of the reasons you have had difficulty remembering your past lives is that there are not any outstanding incomplete lessons that bring them to mind. Most PLR work deals with bringing forward something that is troubling the client because they need to take a specific action to have it stop interfering with the current life.

Your instincts and intuition are spot on when you stop second-guessing your feelings. You will draw to yourself what you wanted to take care of while here, so sit back, relax, and go with the flow of the universe. You don’t have to be occupied every minute of every day. Take some time to just breathe in the energies.

ANSWER: Anybody can say anything they want. Anyone can claim to be delivering messages from any source they choose. Some channelers have agendas wherein they seek to become the authority and/or guru for others, the expert on “The Truth” about everything. They propose that “because they have a connection” you must believe exactly what they are saying and nothing else. In other words, do not let any doubts that you have take you away from their program. And definitely, do not follow your feelings.

The soul, when in the body of a human, must decide what they accept as reality for themselves. This is done by accepting various beliefs by which they will judge how their life is progressing and how they want it to continue. This belief system is unique to each individual and may change at any time when the person loses faith in one accepted fact and substitutes something else instead because it resonates more closely with their feelings at the moment.

A soul having a human experience lives in a dualistic world. They have come to Earth to experience this phenomenon and to use it to find out who they are as a soul – which is a piece of Source energy with amazing powers and abilities – by making determinations concerning the negativity that surrounds them.

If one concentrates on the physical aspects of their life – that is, living in the duality where judgment determines everything, and feelings are not to be trusted – they live for the ego and rate, grade, and judge everything. If they choose a spiritual path, seeking to unite with their essential unconditional love, they will merely observe the world and those in it, making no judgments and bringing into their reality only what resonates with them.

The Earth is a duality with an equal amount of positive and negative. For that reason, there cannot be total evil (hell) or total unconditional love (heaven). Earth is not going to change from this characteristic, and therefore, there will be no Golden Age. Since every soul has freedom of choice, no one can promise that anything will be a certain way in your reality since you have to choose the particulars.

Take even what we have said here today and accept it as your truth only if it feels right to you, if it resonates with your being. Use that as a yardstick for developing your beliefs and growing in enlightenment.

ANSWER: Everything that you planned for yourself in this life was of a traumatic quality. The underlying energy has been to find your self-worth and self-love. You are a soul who has had many lives in which you were preparing for this extreme experience. You have many friends on the other side who have been with you, trying to let you feel them and render a sense that you are not alone.

Your aunt is one of your guides, so therefore you are not she. She is from the same soul group as you. A “soul group” is made up of all the souls who were broken off from Source at the same time and have a lot of the same characteristics. You and she have had many lives together and have alternated being the guide and the person having experiences on Earth. She had chosen the transition in the manner she did so she would have some personal experiences with some of the lessons she hoped to be able to assist you to understand in your own life.

It is true that lessons you undertake in one lifetime, if not completed and understood because of leaving before they are finished, may be revisited in another life. This is not necessary if you learn the lesson in some other fashion, such as figuring out something similar and then being able to apply that knowledge to the trauma.

Trying to believe your life has been so horrendous because it was a continuation of your aunt’s has taken a little strain off of the fact that each soul is alone in the lessons they choose. The soul who was your aunt loves you dearly and constantly sends you love. Close your eyes and feel the love that is coming through. Take that energy and place it in your heart so you may access it any time it is needed.

That unconditional love is the essence of all souls. Using that energy, you will be able to understand your experiences so you may learn from them and heal. The universe is everywhere—you are never alone.

ANSWER: This mist was not an orb. An orb is a structure souls visiting from Home frequently use to be seen by humans when they do not want to take the effort to construct a physical-appearing body. They are generally circular in appearance and may have faces within but normally contain geometric shapes, which are one of the means we have for communicating. Orbs are frequently not sufficiently vibrational to be seen by the human eye and must be observed digitally or on film.

There are other ways that souls may be seen. They may manifest ectoplasm that appears filmy or smoky. Discarnates who have not gone back home yet may develop this as a way to be seen and to let people know they are around. Some use it as a means to scare humans.

Next we must discuss purely physical molecular material that has an affinity to clump together due to its composition of electrons. This may be particulate matter or living matter such as micro-organisms. What you came upon was a combination of inorganic and organic organisms.

The mist was composed of minuscule organisms that were disturbed by nature and man that were light enough to take flight. The same event that set the particulars free also disturbed the surrounding dust and decayed substances. The organisms were able to feed off of some of the debris, so they clung together. What you smelled was the combined odors of the entire mass. It was hovering near the ground because the winds had died down and the mass was getting ready to settle.

A: Dear friend, animals are very sensitive to the energy of souls that have passed on, and they can see the energy trail of a spirit as it travels around the room. Your dog can feel the presence but doesn’t see it too well because a dog’s fine-tuning to energy is not as acute as your cat’s sensitivity. Your visitor is a former pet that lived in your house and comes to check out how the current inhabitants are treating her old domicile. Your cat is quite possessive of you and is trying to send the visitor packing! To all of them, the physical and the non-physical, it is just part of the game of life.

A. Dear One, have you noticed anything else unusual happening at the same time as this behavior? Such as a familiar scent? Or the chair moving slightly? Or even the television coming on? You both are receiving a visit from your husband’s spirit. Your dog senses his presence immediately because he doesn’t have any pre-conceived notions, like the fact that your husband is no longer physical. Your dog just wants to greet his master and play.

Your husband is merely checking up on the family to be sure that all is going well. He doesn’t want you to be worrying about him. He wants you to know that he is well and thinking about you constantly, and that it is high time for you to get on with the rest of your life. He loves you dearly.

ANSWER: You have an energetic negative attachment that likes to control all aspects of your life. It is connected to your beloved because he wants to have control over you and your attachment to him. He gathers negativity to him since he feels it gives him strength and power. The intensity of this energy is dictated by the amount of interest he is investing at the moment.

Your beloved is all about being the manipulator/controller of any and all situations. He has you convinced that he loves you as much as you love him. He is using you as a diversion from his marriage and a plaything that is totally controllable. This energetic spirit comes whenever you seem to be moving away from your connection to him.

Some of your chosen life lessons have to do with being true to yourself and realizing when you are in a sharing relationship and when you are being used. You have created a fantasy event around your connection to this man, and when doubts arise you push them aside. Recognizing negativity is another lesson. Negativity can be overcome by positive, loving energy directed against it.

In the beginning you did not question his intent concerning you – but then he wasn’t being truthful about his personal life. As facts have emerged, you have not allowed yourself to evaluate what they mean to any possible permanent relationship. You want this relationship because, right now, it is easy for you since he is telling you exactly how to behave and how he wants you to always be there for him.

The negative energy can be chased away by using an intention, based in unconditional love, that it leave you alone. Get some incense and smudge the area since negativity cannot stand things such as sage or sweet grass smoke. Burning candles also chases it since it does not like light.

These are all current-life issues. They are not coming from past lives or from sharing a familial group. The choice is yours to decide how you wish to deal with this. Remember, honoring yourself and your journey is the reason this has appeared. Choose how you wish to do that.

ANSWER: All souls have lived many lives in human form; they all have memories of what they did and what they learned as a result. Throughout many lifetimes you have been a communicator. It has been your job to record and convey information in many different ways and through many different languages. This need to communicate is surfacing. Your relaxed state was like a meditation, allowing your higher self, or unconscious self, to come out and control one of the means you possess for delivering messages to others, and to your present self as well—your hands.

Your hands were alternating through two forms of communication. The first was a form of sign language that you have employed in the past to allow those in hearing-challenged bodies to understand your teachings. The second was more your own recording process for cataloging your journey. Had you placed a writing instrument in your dominant hand you would have seen automatic writing develop.

May we suggest that you allow this to become a part of your life and a way you may always be in contact with your higher self. When you are in a meditative state, or first thing in the morning, or last thing at night, place a pen or pencil in your writing hand and let it rest on a piece of paper and ask, “What is it that is important for me to know or remember?” Then let it have its own way and see what happens.

What appears at first may not be readable. It may come in another form of language than you currently use. If this happens, ask your higher self to make the information such that you may understand its nature and be able to learn from it. The most important thing is have fun with this. Have no expectations that might divert you from being totally open.

ANSWER: There is a difference between a soul’s using its abilities as an unrestricted Source energy to be seen in more than one place and its having the ability to live two entirely different lives in two separate bodies simultaneously. The purpose for a soul to enter into a body, or incarnate, in the first place is to learn more about itself and the peculiar characteristics that appear only in a negative environment.

The soul accomplishes enlightenment by using its freedom of choice to remove its existence from ego judgment and redefine itself within unconditional love evaluation. First comes the knowledge of the choices and their implications, and then comes the wisdom of being able to apply these practices to any similar circumstance.

Once a soul has completed all, or most, of its chosen lessons, it has let loose of any connection to negative energy and is bathed in its essence of positive love energy. When all negativity is gone, anything that is possible for the soul to do in its energy alone it can do with its body accompanying its intentional desires.

As with all powers in the spiritual realm, a soul performs its desires merely by intending. For instance, it is possible for one to project their image, or even their body, to another location at will, which is what has occurred with the souls you have mentioned and many others. But understand that this is the same body within which they learned all their desired lessons, not another chosen for the journey. They simply have the intention to be seen in more than one location at the same time. It is similar to using the Internet to appear in front of people all over the planet at the same time.

ANSWER: While your physical body requires periods of regeneration accomplished through sleeping, your soul does not. While you are resting, your soul is off wandering around. You have a tendency to frequent locations that are familiar to you from prior lives.

In many lives, you were a musician of one kind or another. You played instruments, sang, acted, and most of all composed. The songs you are hearing are original compositions written by you in other times. If you listen carefully enough, and commit the music to your current memory, you can reproduce those songs in this lifetime.

Your travels are to those places where you have spent time before. In some you spent an entire lifetime there, and others you saw from Home and decided to visit to see if you might want to spend additional time there in the future.

Any time you are dreaming or astral travelling, your soul energy is in both places. You are maintaining the viability of your human body asleep in your bed, and you are in the locations that interest you. Your awareness comes from focusing your attention and intent to be present somewhere that allows you to see, and later recall, places you visit.

Most of the places you visit are on planet Earth but in different chronological times from the present. Occasionally you have spent time on other planets and in other dimensions, such as the times when you return Home in order to remember something from your past that you need to help you complete a lesson you have been going through.

ANSWER: There are two aspects to your question. First, can a channeler talk to a facet of a soul while the focus of that soul is in a physical body? Under some circumstances, yes. Second, is it possible for a channeler to talk to the soul of a person in order for that person’s conscious mind to learn about the soul’s past and therefore understand what its current lessons are and why those particular lessons were chosen? No.

A channeler talking to an aspect of a soul currently involved in a physical life can only communicate with that person’s higher self or unconscious memory. This can occur only with the permission of the soul because each soul has total freedom of choice concerning its essence.

The most common example of this kind of communication is a healer wishing to send healing to an incapacitated person from whom permission cannot be obtained directly. The channeler can then ask the patient’s soul if it is all right for the healer to send energy to rebalance the body. If permission is not obtained, the healer is wasting time in sending energy because that energy cannot intervene without permission.

In the second scenario the soul came down to Earth with amnesia to learn lessons in the flesh. Had it wanted to have a memory of the why and wherefore of its lessons, it would have allowed itself to remember. This is a situation in which people may choose to engage in hypnotherapy to work through those lessons they have not completed or are having difficulty finishing.

ANSWER: Whatever you have been told is advisory only. No one’s future is predestined; everyone has freedom of choice. Information received from psychic connections is an indication of what is settled for that moment and not necessarily what will happen in the future. Whenever you are involved in a situation that can be affected by more than just yourself, it can change if any of those involved changes their mind about anything.

The psychic was picking up on your frustration concerning a job, heard that there were opportunities in New South Wales, and therefore assumed you would wish to go where employment was more certain. Your lack of immediate response to her reading made her feel it was in line with your desires. But the choice of what you do is always up to you alone. There are available positions in that area that do not require that much education.

Wanting to do a particular job isn’t always possible just because you want it to be. You know that you don’t have the necessary training, so one thing that you can do is get some more training. Look for an apprenticeship, some online courses, or a school program toward licensure. It’s like wanting to be a teacher but never going to get the required learning. Things will not be handed to you without your putting in some effort.

There are jobs around you, so that you can stay where you are, if you get the training needed. It all depends on how badly you want to be in the animal care field. Investigate other animal-related things like dog sitting or walking, working with animals on a farm or university, or assisting with breeding programs. Don’t limit yourself to what you have already explored – think outside the box.

ANSWER: Yours is a beautiful story of learning about your true essence while still in human form. Your and your son’s souls have been together in a number of lifetimes. In each you have taken turns to be the stimulus for one of you to complete the story of the pair. This time is for your completion.

There is no timetable; there is not even a mandatory compliance. You are free to choose what to do and when to do it. Souls on the other side never intend to put pressure on those still in body form. Your son is just subtly reminding you of the action you felt you wanted to fulfill in this lifetime. He will not be disappointed, or entertain the thought that you have let him down, if you don’t complete the work.

Your problem is the closeness you had with your son, and still feel for him. When going into your story you yearn for him to be physically with you. The important message of your work is life after death and the way you have proven to your human body that it exists.

Take some time if you choose, or start with baby steps. Outline the chapters; write the ones that are fact based and not emotionally charged first. Don’t feel you have to write it from start to finish. Take sections that flow and fit them together later. Your problem has been trying to be too organized, and then you feel scattered because an important part comes pushing forward to be attended to before others.

Go with the flow of the energy that surrounds you. Let your freedom to choose your direction take over. Your son will always be there cheering you on, but not exerting pressure—you do that yourself.

ANSWER: You already are a channel; you are just having problems with your tuning. Your father has been around you for quite some time. He talks to you constantly but you are tuned in only part of the time. This is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t want the radio blasting at you when you are engaged in other matters.

Connecting with the beyond takes the ability to be able to pick up the various vibrations emanating from the other side. Souls in different states of acclimation to Home have different wavelengths when they seek to connect. The receiver, or channel, must be tuned to that vibration in order to hear. This is the reason that a receiver may be able to communicate with certain souls and not with others.

Although it is possible for souls to get your attention when you are concentrating on other matters, generally you must be in an open, unoccupied state of being for them to make firm contact. A perfect receiving state can be achieved while  meditating, or while engaging in a repetitive motion which takes no thought.  These  states free your mind for other things, such as picking up vibrations from beyond.

Spending time talking to, helping, or receiving information from the other side is a freedom of choice issue. How do you feel about doing this? Do you feel you have the time to dedicate to this task? Does it create any fears or doubts in your mind? And if it does, do you feel this is something from which you may learn? The choice is yours!

ANSWER: Souls who have left their bodies and are on the Other Side are aware of what you say and think. Your father is aware of your distress and also of your love for him. Tell him what you want to convey and he will know.

You will have to work on the other side of this communication – the receiving of his energy. If there is any failing on your part, it is that you have such specific expectations of how and what you think your father should be able to do. You have to examine just what you will consider to be “proof.”

Once the soul returns Home, it takes its energetic form. Energy is nonphysical, and not all living physical beings are sensitive enough to feel the contact from a soul in energetic form. If you have a preconceived idea that your contact will be as physical as it always has been, you are looking for an impossibility.

In asking your guides for dreams of him, what do you really want? You can recall, on your own, Earth moments with him and have them portrayed in three-dimensional form. You can reach out to him and have him trigger both past and present situations between the two of you. But this will not feel as if he is in the same room with you because he is only energy and would be projecting an image, not taking physical form.

You are needy right now because you still wish to have him a part of the physical existence that is your life. One of your lessons was to work through this period after he returned Home and to find the strength to move on.

Have patience with yourself. Let the connection come when you are ready to accept the form that is possible. Your evidence will not be physical, but you will feel it in your heart.

A. Dear television watcher, the portrayals that are enacted on Ghost Whisperer are dramatized to draw an audience. Some transitional spirits, those that have left their physical body but have not let loose completely of the contact with their earthly life, do try to interact with living people. In most cases the souls do not fully accept that they have left their physical body and wish to stay on Earth—we call these souls discarnates. Most died with some very strong emotion firing within them. They may have been outraged at the reason for their death or the person responsible for it. They may feel they have information that will allow those they left behind to deal better with their passing. Revenge, greed, hatred, control issues are all very powerful emotions that may keep a soul from letting go after their life is terminated.

When the soul passes out of the physical body it enters an energetic form. Within this framework it is very difficult for it to directly interact with someone in physical form. It may, however, be very easy for them to affect the energy surrounding a living person to let them know they are still around and even what it is that they want. If the deceased is working with a very strong emotion, it may give their energy sufficient strength to be felt by another. Someone who had contact with the departed before transition also may be more susceptible to feeling the energy because they are familiar with the entity’s human energy pattern. Someone who is very sensitive to energy also may be more affected, which makes it seem as if the deceased is physically reaching out from the grave and grabbing the living. Harm may come only if the receiver is open to accepting all aspects of the energy from the discarnate. Instead, the living person may choose only to hear the thoughts and may block the strong, harmful emotions attached.

A televised presentation that is more of the average kind of interchange between physical and non-physical beings can be seen in Medium, which is still somewhat dramatized. Common interaction can be seen in James Van Praagh’s  Beyond and John Edward’s Crossing Over. Both of these shows deal with souls that have transitioned, but in most cases have gone all the way Home, and just come back to check on the living. Very few of the hundreds of readings that are provided through these shows deal with discarnates because most souls when they have completed their time on Earth cannot wait to get back Home into unconditional love. They are aware of the fact that they are not precluded from making contact with their loved ones either directly or through sensitives.

Your loved ones do wish to maintain contact and to reassure you that they are happy and content at Home. Frequently they will use their energy to give you clues, such as sounds, smells, or even a disturbance of the air around you that feels just like a caress.  You are encouraged to speak to them just as you did when you could physically see them— they will hear you and they still love you.

ANSWER: The soul that inhabited the body you knew as your mother is still at Home with us in the fifth dimension of unconditional love. She couldn’t care less about her former house; she doesn’t even spend that much time manifesting a body because she can do more and go more in her energetic state. Further, you cannot give a physical building to a nonphysical being.

She is completely nonphysical and is reuniting with other human families of which she has been a member. She is too busy to engage in the antics in your dreams. She does not intend to come back into a physical state for quite some time, and when she does, it will be in a different situation in which she can learn additional lessons from the ones she did in this lifetime.

Your dreams are being influenced by a negative entity who is having fun making you miserable. It is impersonating your mother and is using your insecurities, history with your mother, and intense need to please to lead you on and make you believe. You have always been a weak person when it came to your mother; it was a lesson the two of you worked on, and your mother had hoped you would gather strength on your own. Stop allowing another, physical or nonphysical, to tell you what is best for you. Take back your own power and decision-making.

The property is now yours to do with what you want. Take care of yourself and create what you want for your future. Tell that negative spirit to cease and desist. The sooner the property is deeded to another, the faster the spirit will vanish completely.

ANSWER: Souls may choose to incarnate on planets other than Earth. A lot of these beings can travel at will to other destinations. Your lady was one such visitor. What she had not anticipated was the effect the dense Earth atmosphere would have upon her energy. When she tried to transport back to her planet she did not have enough energy—she was out of fuel, so to speak.

This was not a figment of your imagination. When you possessed the intention to help her return it allowed you to funnel through you, to her, universal life-force energy sufficient to permit her to break away from your density and return to her own planet. She is very grateful for your assistance.

ANSWER: Dolphins, as you know, are mammals. They were once walking on the surface of the planet before they chose to go into the sea. They have brains that are comparable to humans’ in size, and they use a larger portion of their brain than humans do. A large number of souls that choose to have inter-species experiences have chosen to experience them in the body of dolphins.

The majority of what are referred to as dolphins on the planet today have only a spark of life, the same as other mammals like lions, dogs, and apes. There are inbred in a number of species the need to protect humans from themselves and dangerous situations. It has become instinctual in their nature.

Family pets, whether dog, cat, or even birds, will come to the aid of their owners in a time of crisis such as medical emergency or during an accident such as a fire. These occurrences are not the result of training or instinct but rather arise from a sense of love or companionship.

Dolphins are extremely gregarious animals, fun loving and protective of their pod. A person in the water can easily become a thing of interest or a playmate. There are a lot of recorded instances of dolphins supporting injured humans or other mammals such as small whales or even seals until they can reach a place of safety. There are also reports from those who spend a lot of time in the water with wild dolphins that, on occasion, they have been attacked by dolphins when their activity has been perceived as threatening, such as getting too close to a mother birthing or a tiny newborn.

Dogs will frequently help injured or lost children and sometimes other animals. Apes have adopted and raised similar species and even humans that have become lost or stranded in the wild. The mothering instinct of mammals is species blind.

A. Some animals do travel out of body at night. The soul that inhabits your pet retains memories of other experiences just like a human soul. They like to go and visit other places and other times.

Not all of the activity that you are noticing has to do with outside movement. Animals also dream just as you do. When they are dreaming they cannot tell that they are not awake so they react to the activity. It is very similar to humans walking, talking, or crying out during sleep. The more active animals are during their awake time the more active they are during their sleep time. As pets get older, and have difficulty moving, their sleep activity sometimes means that they are reliving the glories and triumphs from their prime, and their degenerating bodies don’t exist in those memories.

ANSWER: At the time Clara was sitting for you she had many memories of her childhood, and each one was a slightly different version of the truth. She felt abandoned by her parents and wished to assign blame to them for her feelings. Her mother was sickly from when Clara was about 9, so that was when her world started to fall apart. She always identified more with you than your sisters, so she “confided” her fearful memories to you and not to them.

Clara was a dreamer and had a vivid imagination and she drew you into the alternative line of thought, which made her a tragic survivor of a chaotic childhood. You could be very brooding as a child, and this fed into Clara’s feelings since she identified with this type of energy. In the intensity that you relished, you were sucked into this negative substitute for the reality she actually experienced.

Your sisters were more carefree and didn’t want to partake in anything that wasn’t fuzzy and soft and happy. Clara’s negative vibes went right over their heads as they played with their toys; you sat raptly attentive. In your sharing a part of Clara’s imaginings of her youth, you were able to help her see the way she thought things were as a nice story and something of which she could let go.

Reality is different for every person. It depends on what you accept as factual to you and how you interpret your position within that situation. When you have a dream that replays a movie you have seen or a story you have read and places you as a character therein, does that then become reality for you? Yes, to the degree you feel it is a part of your existence.

Let what resonates and feels right to you be accepted as a part of you. Don’t get hung up on what others seek to claim as their reality. You are seeing things from your own perspective.

ANSWER: All souls have the ability to reach out and feel the energy around them. If the person they are sensing is in other than a balanced condition, they may feel unbalanced as well. You are dedicating your life to reaching out and helping others. Having a sense of what is bothering a person that they may be unaware of is a great asset. You can sense the unspoken. This is non-physical and all of your training has focused only on the physical. Of course, you are having trouble differentiating the signals you are receiving.

How do you see acknowledging the non-physical as being a compromise of your life as a doctor? If you were the only sighted physician in your practice, would relying upon your sight compromise the work you are doing with your non-sighted associates? It would rather be a great boon to the practice. You wouldn’t have to tell them step by step why you are doing what you perceive that they cannot. You merely have to follow the needs you sense in the patient.

The problems you sensed in the past came mostly from your conscious mind wanting an explanation for what you were doing which did not result from prior conscious knowledge. If it works, is it necessary to know why it works? Can you explain electricity and how it lights a bulb? If you don’t understand all the aspects of the lamp are you going to remain in the dark?

What you have heard about being a sponge is true. When you totally open yourself to everything that is in a room, you will absorb all unless you filter and/or block it from entering you. This may be done using your intention. When you approach a situation, say something to the universe such as “I wish to feel this energy only so that I may help this patient. I do not need to feel the anxiety of his family. I do not want either to become a part of me.”

Whether you use your abilities is up to you. You have total freedom of choice. The decision to use or to block all is completely up to you. Nothing is right or wrong and you can change your mind at any time you wish. You will be a fantastic physician.

ANSWER:  Every soul has freedom of choice, and that includes whether they readily choose to return Home after a lifetime as a human. If a soul has not worked on realizing they are a soul who is merely having a human experience, they believe that their human existence is everything.

Being unaware of the glorious unconditional love of Source, they cling to the things they cherished while in their bodies. Familial ties can be extremely strong and a factor in souls’ deciding they need to remain on, or near, the Earth.

One of the members of this family became separated at the time of their deaths, and the remainder were seeking to find them. They thought they might have inadvertently left them at their vacation site and sought to return to reunite. As a group, they were unaware of their passing from the physical to the energetic and remained in a loop of travel.

While it is true that spirit guides and past family members are able to assist a soul in understanding their situation, the soul has to accept the possibility. If you have never seen something, you will not see it unless you allow yourself to do so.

Your friend was able to get the family’s attention and bring the missing member of the family to them. The accepting member was then able to convince them they were deceased and could go into unconditional love.

You need not fear getting trapped. You understand that you are a soul and that your Home is on the Other Side. You will not desire to stay in a limbo of inactivity but will ask your guides and loved ones to accompany you on your final journey in this lifetime. Intention directs every experience.

ANSWER:  Your daughter is very psychic. She is in contact with a number of spirit friends, some of whom are your familial deceased relatives and friends. You and she are also from the same soul group although you have not chosen to be incarnated at the same time previously. She is so glad to be with you in this life that she can’t help but comment from time to time. You have always had one of you on the other side acting as a guide; this time you are both here.

You have had a very large number of previous lives. You have been famous people—some for their entire life and some for just a stage of their life that you were really interested in experiencing. You have not had a particular trend of things that you wished to do, so you have tried a little of this and that.

The name calling is just a slip of the tongue or a case in which you reminded the person of someone of that name. It is very common, particularly at the first introduction, that someone can get the first letter of your name right, but not having heard the whole name, will add a familiar name instead. You have never been known by Rachel/Rachelle in a past life.

As with all souls, you are exactly where you intended to be so that you might experience what you desired. You are in the process of learning and making decisions, what we call using your freedom of choice. This is the way you gather wisdom of life.

You become more grounded by always living in the moment. Be aware of where you are and what you are doing. Don’t spend time replaying the past or minutely planning the future. Go with the flow of the energy around you, observing what is happening and interacting with it to get the experiences.

ANSWER: Your son loved you very much. You have shared several lifetimes together and one of the contracts you had for this life was for him to provide you with the lessons of abandonment, survivor’s guilt, and a physical sense of unconditional love.

One of the purest of physical sensations is the physical and emotional love possible between a parent and child, particularly the mother and child. She has carried and nurtured the child from the moment of conception until they are parted by some force or other. In most cases that love is unaffected by anything the child does—Mom is accepting of all foibles.

In human terms, parents are not supposed to out-live their children. When a child returns Home while the parent stays behind, the parent feels abandoned by their charge. It doesn’t matter if the child has not lived with them for decades—they are not supposed to inflict such pain on their parents. A longing begins to relive the days when the child was dependent.

Staying behind engenders a guilt that you have cheated fate and your child was taken instead of you. Why did you survive while he died? Digging into these feelings allows you to learn more about yourself. You will discover that all people are responsible for their own path, making choices both before coming and after arriving.

You have put a lot of work into integrating your lessons. Your son says, “Way to go, Mom!”

ANSWER: Souls, after they have left the physical realm, frequently need to reassure those left behind that they are all right. They would prefer to communicate with the person in question but are sometimes unable to for one reason or another. They will then go to someone with whom they can entrust their important message.

The timing of the visit coincided with the amount of time your sister was thinking about Paul and all the good times they shared. This gave a boost of energy to Paul’s spirit to be able to reach through the layers of vibrational difference and appear to you the way he did.

Paul wanted to be sure your sister knew of his continuing love. He was not sure she got the message directly so he visited you. For your time and trouble he gave you a beautiful gift. You were allowed to spend time in the unconditional love of the Other Side and to remember what it feels like. Your urge to stay there was very normal since you were at “Home.”

You were the recipient on this occasion because you were open to the possibility. And, no, you did not die. You did not even have one of those Near-Death Experiences of which you have read. You simply had another soul reach out to you from the spirit realm and engage in a conversation. It was real because you allowed it to become a part of your reality. Cherish the memory and understand it can happen whenever you are ready to take additional dictation. 😉

ANSWER: Psychokinesis (mind movement) and telekinesis (thought movement) are phenomena that may be accomplished by just about anyone on planet Earth. We can tell you, however, that not all of the examples that you have seen on YouTube and other places are actual psychokinesis or telekinesis demonstrations.

During our messages to you we have told you that energy is everything and everything is energy. Therefore it is easy to see that one form of energy may have an effect upon any other form of energy. One of the most recognized instances of this is the ability to manifest. Manifestation is using your conscious mind to create or bring to you that which you desire to experience. Affirmations, chanting, and mantras are all ways that have become accepted parts of our lifestyles to create an environment that we choose.

You may have had experiences confirming that you and your friends have been thinking about exactly the same thing. Or someone whom you have been thinking about calls and opens the conversation with, “I’ve had you on my mind a lot lately.” Your thoughts—energy—have traveled to the location of your friend’s thoughts and have been recognized. These are instances of telekinesis.

In psychokinesis you deal with objects instead of personal thoughts. It is possible to concentrate on a metallic object and feel the molecules and the spaces between them. An object such as a spoon may be made to become soft as you concentrate on the connection between each molecule to the extent that it may easily be bent and twisted into another shape. An object may also be moved without touching it when you interface with the energy around it and create a flow of particles carrying it along.

A very useful example of psychokinesis is energetic healing or balancing. The practitioner’s thoughts help direct the universal energy to the location of an imbalance to facilitate its correction.

A. A near-death experience (NDE) most often occurs when human beings experience a traumatic event that allows their soul (with its consciousness), to almost completely exit the body-just leaving the tiniest filament connected to their physical body. It is at this time that some souls make the decision to return Home to start a new life in a different body.

The people you have heard speak of their NDE are those who, at the moment of evaluation-the “go/no go” point-exercise their freedom of choice to return to their bodies and carry on with their current life. This decision may be made after conferring with relatives and friends who have passed over, and who meet them in the “tunnel” connecting the physical with the spiritual dimensions.

When someone starts to reach into that space between the dimensions, their perception is determined by the prior experiences and energetic connections that are most important to them at that moment. They may see what their current life is really like, and how closely they are intertwined with other people, and may assess what effect their leaving at this time would have upon those others. They are likely to see just about anything that will help them to choose whether to continue going Home, or to stay on Earth and finish what they have started. Their destination is always wholly a matter for their free choice.

Most people have these NDEs because they are at a crossroads in their life and need new direction. They may even have had an NDE arranged for their present life as a reminder of why they are in that life and what they wanted to do when they came down to Earth. Some have made arrangements to have an NDE occur if they ever spin out of control. (Their “death” may result from an accidental overdose, a car accident, carbon monoxide inhalation, or the like.) One thing that occurs almost one hundred percent of the time after an NDE is that the person is changed. They are more connected to their own feelings, more introspective, more aware in the spiritual sense.You will always know when you have had one-unless you consciously suppress the memory because you don’t want to face what it presented to you.

You do not have to have one in order to know yourself, however. Just meditate and connect with the stillness inside of you, and get to the point where you regularly contact your Guides to help find the answers to the same questions that present themselves during an NDE.

ANSWER: Thank you for your kind words. Those souls currently in human form may be affected by discarnates—those who leave their body but don’t return Home. Everything is composed of energy, and souls wandering between the physical and their true essence need to find ways to replenish the energy they are using to stay between energetic layers. The only way they can get energy is by sucking it from those in full physical form. Many refer to these lost souls as energy vampires or spiritual leeches.

Souls who are working on finding their true essence, frequently called lightworkers, emanate a high level of energy that is preferred by leeches. Consider yourself a beacon which may be seen from a great distance. Like moths drawn to a flame which they cannot resist, you are a target for vampires. Your awareness of self has allowed you to keep them from permanently attaching but they come and feed at times like hungry mosquitoes. Until they get discouraged from not being able to get a free meal, start the practice of surrounding your body in white-gold light at least once a day. The leeches will not be able to see you in this glare.

Crop circles, other than those which are man made, are created by beings who are not of this physical cycle on the planet. Some are created by souls who have returned Home but still monitor the Earth and wish to help guide those who will listen by giving them scientific information. There are also souls in various guises who reside on other planets and want to be of service by leaving messages about happenings in the universe. All markings are left in friendship and good will.

ANSWER: First, let’s deal with your shared “dream”. You and your mother have spent lifetimes together, and one included life on a foreign planet. This was not a duality planet, since Earth is the only one. The inhabitants were experimenting with terraforming, using different species they encountered.

The impact an event has upon a physical body is determined by the intention of the human mind. When your mother re-lived/dreamed of this former happening, she conceived it to be negative and threatening based on her current human life standards. This forced her body into a stress panic, which caused her illness. She was unable to separate the current from the past.

The human psyche is extremely strong, and what it believes, it creates. If it is raining outside and you are convinced that if the water touches your skin you will be burned, that is in fact what will happen. The person takes their experiences, all the things they have read and imagined, and creates a reality. If that same person believes it is all a movie created by another and not impactful to them, that is what will occur.

Because the soul has the power and ability to develop any reality they wish to experience, or feel they need to experience, they bring these things into their current awareness. It doesn’t really make any difference if they have spent physical time living the events or if it is an energetic replay of some desired knowledge.

You bring to yourself that which you desire to experience. The origin of the factors is immaterial. Having a physical awareness of what the soul has actually done, created, or merely observed being done by others is not important. The only vital thing is the wisdom gained from awareness of the experience.

ANSWER: Your daughter is very connected still to her nonphysical friends on the other side. At this stage of her life she is only attracting positive loving energies with which she had interactions back Home. You can say to the universe that you only want beings of the light in the room and cover your daughter in white light to ensure that happens. She has nothing to offer to discarnates at this time because she cannot take care of herself or do their bidding; that is primarily why they will leave her alone. Her guides are also monitoring who comes near.

Don’t be paranoid. We realize this is all a new experience for you and you want to get it “right.” Your daughter is a very strong, resilient little being. She chose to come to you because she knew you could help her with her life lessons. She has no intention at this time to leave you until she has fulfilled all her desires for this life. You have shared former lives with her and will get to the point of re-establishing the psychic connection you have used with each other before.

She will suffer only if she is taught that she should. Be sure you help her understand that she has the ability to choose which things come to her and how she deals with them. Tell her about her magnificence as a particle broken off from Source and that she is as fantastic as everyone else if she accepts that truth. You cannot be full of anxiety or trust and esteem issues if you know who you are.

Do not let her feel the lessons you have not completely learned. Work on releasing the fears and anxieties from your early experiences, and see that negative events can be learned from and replaced with loving yourself for having done so.

You bring to yourself what you need, or want, to experience. You then either choose to understand the conflict and put it aside so you don’t have to deal with a similar event again, or you let it hang from your neck like an anchor weighing down the rest of your life. Remove your weights and be free. Teach her to look at them and make her choices before she gets buried.

A. Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) happen when people’s consciousness is focused on another location or time, and they are able to see everything that is going on in that separate location while their physical bodies remain “at home”. They happen in states of deep meditation, and sometimes at night at the beginning or ending of the sleep cycle.

These OBEs are very real. Individuals who have experienced them can tell you (while physically not leaving their meditation or bedroom) what someone was wearing or what someone said on the other side of a wall, the country, or the world. The reason is simply that these people have grown to know their soul well enough to free the majority of it from the confines of the body. An OBE may also occur when a person is in a coma.

Mystics have meditated for years and not been able to accomplish an OBE, and yet other souls do it almost automatically. The secret is having total faith in yourself as a soul while harboring no fears whatsoever. Doubt, fear, and physical discomfort will drop the soul back into the body immediately. It is impossible to get stuck outside of your body.

ANSWER: This is a perfect example of a past-life remembrance. What is unusual about this is that it stimulated within you the abilities from those times, which include creative abilities you shunned previously. They are the reason for recent success.

A portal is a doorway between two dimensions or realities. There is a portal in the Atacama mountains. At one time you entered into the Earth plane through that portal from another planet. You chose to stay on Earth for some time and lived in that region of the planet throughout your lifetime. This time you decided to come to Earth for the entire life. The next move is up to you.

This is all academic as far as being a portion of the history of your soul, but not determinative of what comes after this. You have chosen to spend lives on a number of different planets and each gave you their own experiences. You have much more to do with this lifetime without going back and reliving a past.

Each soul has freedom of choice to go back, go forward, or stay in place. Remembering your teacher and fellow students from first grade and arranging to reunite does not reproduce what you had then. The same will be true of going back to the portal. But if you need to visit it to put all this aside, that is your choice.

ANSWER: How much of your time do you spend wishing that something would occur or be true? You are sending thoughts out to those around you and trying to influence the flow of the energy coming to you. Some souls have a very strong, forceful flow of intention moving out from them. This is like a person who has a strong voice that may be heard over a great distance.

It is always possible for people to attempt to influence you. Every day, friends tell you what they think about the way you are doing something. Some try through intimidation to get you to accept their ideas. Media constantly implants thoughts in your head about products to purchase which they say you cannot live without.

Regardless of where the thoughts come from—a well-meaning friend, a marketing company, or this woman who seeks to destroy your energy—what happens is up to you. In each of these cases the effort to shape you must stand up to your freedom of choice to make it a part of your consciousness.

All these influences become part of your belief system. If you accept blindly what is inside your head, implanted from the outside, you are saying that those ideals should control your actions. If, instead, you question everything that you do unconsciously to see if it is really what you want to do, then you are controlling yourself. No one can control you without your permission. That does not stop someone from trying. Just deflect their shouting and make your own decisions.

ANSWER: This is a soul mate of yours and your feelings have been eternal. What has happened with him is that he has unintentionally invited a negative discarnate being, who does not want to go home to unconditional love, to enter into his body and influence his behavior and thinking. This spirit knows that you reside in almost exclusively positive energy, and that is abrasive to its negativity, so it is trying to get your mate to split up with you. What you see right now is this spirit, not your love.

Your love was tricked into allowing this being to enter him and must consciously tell it to leave. The problem is going to be to talk to your friend at a time when this being isn’t constantly issuing instructions. Before you confront him, send as much unconditional love to him as you are able. Ask friends to do the same thing, all with the intention that he will understand he has a visitor inside and decide to put it out.

Invite your love to come to a place where you have incense burning and a couple of candles lit. Negativity cannot stand either of these things. If you have some spiritual friends, see if any have had experience in getting discarnates to move on. Explain to your love that you sense he has a negative entity on board and you want to help free him from this burden.

If you are successful in getting him at a time the being is upset by the positive candles and incense, have him ask it to leave three times. If you have sage, use it to bathe his body in its smoke, all the time demanding the entity move on. Remind your love of all the plans you had with your daughter and the mutual promises that you made. Maintaining your positivity during this process is vital.

ANSWER: Your grandmother wished to let you know that your friend was going to be all right after she returned Home. She knew you would make the connection with the date. She has tried on a number of other occasions to contact you and felt this time you would know the message came from beyond. You had decided that you would be a medium for messages at sometime in your life. The spirits have been waiting for the time when fear would not interfere.

You have the freedom of choice whether or not to allow contact and to what degree. If you are in agreement with being a conduit for their messages, then just open yourself to the energy coming from beyond. It is very important that you do not just open to everything but be specific as to what you will convey. You may, for instance, say you at first only wish to receive messages that come from people you know. Then you could expand into messages for all those whom you know. It could progress into a service, for hire, for anyone seeking information on loved ones. The possibilities are almost endless.

Remember there is absolutely no obligation involved with this choice. You may begin and end at any time. You may totally disregard everything that has been said here if you do not feel ready, or you may jump in with both feet and hit the ground running.

ANSWER: All physical matter consists of a tiny solid mass of energy rotating in space around another tiny solid mass. You see the whirling mass as solid. An object composed of billions of these atoms is perceived as impenetrable. Your belief systems tell you that one believed solid mass cannot pass through another believed solid mass. Almost all accept this as fact.

It is possible for one who accepts that matter is mostly empty space to manipulate two pieces of matter so that they pass through each other’s empty spaces. For the human this generally occurs during times of stress in which the survival urge overcomes built-in belief systems. With the wish to pass through, rather than collide with, a solid mass that has just appeared in front of him, a person suddenly finds himself—and sometimes his motor vehicle—on the other side of, rather than wrapped around, a tree, a deer, a boulder, or another vehicle.

Your daughter was not particularly thinking about walking through the door but was very much inside herself in a meditative state. She did not seek to align her molecules, but only to continue on her way. Her unconscious self did not want harm done to the physical body, so it set up the conditions to align the energies to pass through one another. As your daughter became aligned, so did the box on her head.

ANSWER: As souls pass out of their human body and resume the energetic form of Home they frequently wish to say goodbye to those closest to them. Since you were away at the time of your mother’s transition she wished to let you know of her passing and that it was peaceful.

The vibration you felt was the “humming” of the universal energy. Most of the time humans are unaware of this comforting sensation, but as they cut away from solid body form it is perceivable. The residual energy you felt as you awakened was the happy “glow” your mother left to let you know she had made an easy transition and was joyful and at home with all her friends from this life and past ones.

ANSWER:  Spirits in the nonphysical dimension do not have shells, bodies, or coverings. When concentrated in one place they gather together in a spherical form and appear; they are sometimes visible to the eye, but generally need to be observed via digital media. This phenomenon is what people call orbs. Since there are billions of souls, a majority of which are not incarnate at any one time, they are literally all over the place.

Just as with anything else on your physical plane, in order to for you to see it, it has to be a part of your illusion. You must accept that they exist in order to see them. Non-believers will see them on their photos and call it glare, reflections, or dust particles. Some souls even play with the cameras so that they do not record the vibrations in the air that betray their presence.

Spirits may choose to go anywhere. When something interesting is occurring or someone is calling them or desiring to catch their image, they may flock to the location. If they don’t want to be seen, or are not sure how someone will take to their being there, they may hide just out of sight.

Your house is a welcoming environment for them because they make you happy and they enjoy your positive energy. They can be silly and enjoy buzzing around you and seeing you laugh. When you populate an area with positive energy and restrict negativity, they come in droves. It is possible to get some to come when you call them if they have nothing else they want to do at that time.

As with any exciting thing, word gets around. Once some have come and felt comfortable at your house, they tell others who may want to come and sample the party atmosphere. Your personal guides occasionally show themselves to you as orbs. Deceased relatives and friends who have returned home may visit you in this form as well. Don’t forget to thank them for coming and invite them back if you want them to return.

ANSWER: You do a lot of out-of-body traveling during your body’s sleep cycle. You slip into the stream of energy that connects all things. You have an occasion to meet up with souls who are having experiences that vary from your own. Some of these individuals are living on planets other than Earth.

Because only Earth has a duality of positive and negative energy, it is the only place where fear is prominent. On other planets, beings have curiosity without assigning negative intent to those who are different from them. The beings with whom you made contact are from one of these places. They cannot figure out why on Earth there is such a fear of the unknown. To them the unknown is the great adventure.

Just as your society has belief systems such as astrology, numerology, tarot, runes, etc., other cultures have their own beliefs. This particular group feels that your tendency to favor particular colors indicates your direction in life. Colors give off various energy signatures. It means they give character assignments to your visual and energetic preferences.

Following a belief system has only as much impact on you as you allow it to. When you have consulted your horoscope, it has given you what some believe to be your present or future based upon the recognized energies. The influence of the planets at the time of your birth only assists you on a path and makes you more comfortable with certain directions. You still have total freedom of choice to decide what you want to do and who you want to be.

ANSWER: There are two causes for the phenomenon that you are experiencing. The first is the presence of a discarnate soul that has left its human body but has not moved back Home to unconditional love. These souls generally stick around because of their desire for revenge, hatred of a particular person, a love they do not want to leave, fear of the afterlife, or love of the power of the negative. These souls do not care how much they affect a person and become empowered by the fear of their victim.

They are attracted to a particular person to get even or cause havoc, or because they are confused. They perceive that an invitation of some sort was given to them by the victim. This may have been a direct statement made in ignorance: “I wish I knew what it was like to be a ghost.” “I wish Bert were still here.” The invitation also could have been issued in a semi-waking state at the end of a dream cycle. To revoke the visitor’s permit, one must tell the discarnate in no uncertain terms to depart.

The second circumstance where these sensations may occur, and which applies to your particular situation, is an out-of-body experience. At night you do not remain in your body; you leave a tiny connection to keep your body alive and then you go traveling. While the majority of your soul is out of your body it is communicating with other souls, friends, and advisors.

It is a frequent occurrence, especially when the body is awakened abruptly by a sound, that the conscious mind returns to the site of the body but does not enter it before there is awareness. The conscious mind is trying to get the physical body to move but the energy pack, the soul, has not been replaced and the body can’t move. You are still more in the non-physical than the physical so you are still able to hear communication from the other side. The words are not in language your human body can understand because spirits do not have vocal cords.

Experiencing this can be very frightening. You are unable to control your body, feeling that it is held down. You are in between two dimensions and your conscious mind is expecting just the usual physical surroundings. The next time that this happens, relax—do not fight the sensations. Observe what is occurring and you will become aware of your reentry to your body. When you are comfortable with this procedure you may even use it to travel out of body while you are awake. Many people have spent decades trying to do what you do naturally.

A. The energetic excitement on planet Earth can be felt in the “ether” or on the Other Side, as we refer to it, with an intensity that creates vibrations that cannot be ignored. Each soul has its own distinct vibrational pattern, just as each body has its own vocal identity. When you get excited, particularly in the extremes of happiness, anticipation, and love, it’s like sending out invitations to those who once had contact with you, for the celebration of a special event.

You have the habit of enjoying the company of friends and relatives around the holidays for whom you don’t have time during the rest of the year. Your deceased friends and relatives relish the opportunity to share being not only with you but with the rest of the group that you have gathered around you. 

Even during the times when you are alone, the season brings memories of your dear departed. These thoughts send an invitation to them to share the love of your feelings for them. They like nothing better than curling up next to you or across from you as you think about them—while they send you the sense of their love and presence. Enjoy their visit!

ANSWER: You are the second soul to inhabit that particular human body. The first soul was due to die during the hemorrhaging and you had wanted to come into this time period without having to go through the whole gestation stage and infancy, toddler, teenager, etc. You wanted to be in a family, so having a baby already was a big plus. The former occupant did not care if you “walked-in” to the body that it was leaving because they thought it would be good for the other souls with whom she was sharing this life to have it seem like she was still there.

Walk-ins are extremely rare occurrences. You entered with the shared memories which were contained in the body’s cellular memory but not all the specifics of having lived those early years. You had watched this body for some time, so you were able to fit in quite well and people were “forgiving” for any uncomfortable moments in the beginning during your acclimation phase because of your medical condition.

The whole situation is not unlike a person who suffers a head injury where there is partial amnesia. You can think of the whole scenario sort of like a transfer from one department in a company to another. You have a desire to be loyal to the company and to fit in and learn all that you can while in the new location.

Every soul creates its own reality, so it is up to you where you go from here and what you decide to do. Generally, a walk-in remains in its acquired body through the rest of that body’s life cycle. No one else has to know what has transpired. Most people would not understand and would be freaked out by the thought of their loved one being replaced by a stranger.

ANSWER: The purpose of a duality is for each soul to determine and understand what the opposite of its essence of positive unconditional love looks and feels like. It provides a classroom where every possible combination of negative/positive pairing can exist – an arena where, by trial and error, each human characteristic, emotion, and feeling may be explored. The desired traits are agreed upon by the participant before incarnating, and then the games begin.

Souls do spend time on planets other than Earth, but it is not for the purpose of discovering who they are or how they can work to understand about unconditional love. Most places have a particular theme that the soul wishes to explore, but the soul is aware of it from the beginning and just spends time experiencing it, not trying to figure it out as it would with life lessons on Earth.

The only evolution that occurs on these other planets is educational – akin to the soul’s going from kindergarten, through grammar school, high school, college, and on to graduate work. Any warlike activity has to do with learning about physical prowess, tactics, and logistics. These are not dualistic environments because no studies are being conducted concerning the opposite of perfection.

ANSWER: Souls who have come all the way back Home are existing in unconditional love and shun negativity, such as profanity or judgment, of any kind. Since this soul is sending messages with profanity and negativity, it is easy to see that he has not crossed over but is remaining Earthbound. The choice to remain is his alone and no amount of contacting him will help him in this discarnate state.

Once a soul leaves a body, what you call death, it has the decision to make as to its next activity. Committing suicide was not something this soul had planned out in advance. The young man ended his life abruptly out of fear that nothing was going right, and he was overwhelmed.

Usually the soul will return Home and then plan the next life to finish those lessons it feels are necessary. In his case he got extremely angry with himself as he was doing the act and fears he will be in trouble if he goes Home. The contents of his communiques are directing his anger, uncertainty, and fear at others.

The types of messages that he is delivering to his mother will not help others understand how to make their own decisions when they contemplate suicide. He is not the only one who is spilling out this negativity in these channelings. There are more discarnates who are using your friend as a soap box. It is fun for them to be given so much attention, and the more volatile the message, the more people are drawn to the words.

Your friend is in denial that her son would not want to remain with her so she is accepting anything that comes through. She needs to encourage him to listen to his guides and go Home. All his negativity will be sated and he will come to understand why he did what he did. He can then come back from the other side through channels and give his mother a message worth delivering to others. He will be unavailable for a short period of time while he debriefs the events of his life.

ANSWER: The terms “White Brotherhood” and “The Brotherhood of the Light” are thrown around indiscriminately. The concept primarily refers to the group of souls, mostly incarnate in some form or other, who are monitoring and offering protection for this experiment of duality occurring on planet Earth. They have, for instance, blocked harmful rays from the Sun during major eruptions on the surface.

These souls chose to be observers and “life guards” to the ones who plunged into the troubling waters of negativity. They are based on a number of different planets where they could also have experiences that they had not tried before, and that made them available to contact and watch Earthlings. They have varying degrees of prior incarnations and, therefore, different amounts of understanding and wisdom of Earth-type lessons.

For souls to be given the title of Master, they must have been exposed to, worked through, and gained the wisdom of all aspects of a particular life lesson. A small percentage of these Brotherhood members have achieved that distinction, but when they returned to a physical form, they may have chosen to merely work upon the things they came into physicality to experience, and not to be a master guide to those on Earth.

The Brotherhood is ever vigilant and makes contact with those souls who will accept their presence and whom they can assist in increasing their spiritual knowledge. The one warning we would give to all of those appearing to communicate with the Brotherhood is that there are some discarnates out there who imitate the good guys while conveying false information for their own enjoyment. Be sure to protect yourself with white light and put the intention into the universe that you wish to communicate only with beings of the light who will participate for the highest and greatest good.

ANSWER:  Kryon is a group of nonphysical souls who deliver messages to those in human form through their channel, Lee Carroll. As with all channeled messages such as those delivered through Lee, Esther Hicks (Abraham), and our channel, Toni Winninger, they are for information purposes to assist souls having a human experience to make the choices necessary to create a reality that will allow them to learn.

Not every soul is ready to receive messages of a particular channel. Messages are delivered with various degrees of wisdom. Some are appropriate for beginning awakening, others for intermediate or advanced. People must take the information delivered and see how it makes them feel. Do they resonate with the teaching? Can they use the information to help them exercise their freedom of choice to solve the lessons they chose before coming to Earth?

All channels who are able to separate their conscious thoughts from the message they deliver, and have no ego-related intent for their work, are of integrity and a source of teaching for those who are at the stage of development they are addressing. There are no absolutes within the duality of Earth – all variables have to be considered in evaluating the benefit of messages. This veracity may vary from time to time. The messages of Kryon, Abraham, and Us (Masters of the Spirit World) are basically all coming with truth and love.

As we always say, never accept the importance or authenticity of any channeled material unless it feels comfortable to you. You then make it your own by incorporating it into your belief system and therefore your reality. There is no time schedule for when people are ready to take the responsibility of making their own decisions about their spiritual journey.

Your husband is curious but not yet committed. Expose him gradually to see what his tolerance is to spirituality. You will not know when he is accepting until you give him the choice.

ANSWER: Each soul is on its own journey. When one is on Earth and gets so involved in dozens of belief systems, and then tries to integrate them into a single lifestyle, she may feel she is living dual—or even triple or quadruple—lives. It is even more confusing when the chosen lifestyle is so different from the religious belief system that the individual practices.

Not all souls choose to maintain contact with those left behind unless it is part of a contract entered into before all the parties came into being. Part of your lessons include going through the various doubts you find yourself enmeshed in at this time. You must first ask: Why do you feel you need her to manifest? Is this the only thing that will make you accept your belief systems? How do you feel about your beliefs? Take each one and examine it. Keep it only if it resonates with who you are at this time.

The only way that your mother’s soul could come through to you is if you stopped trying so hard for her to be there. It is easiest for her to come to you when you are  in a meditative state and your mind is completely clear. It is extremely difficult for a soul to manifest a physical countenance; it therefore rarely happens.

It is not unusual for you to stop dreaming of a person who has been gone for 19 years. Relax into a life of working on your own spirituality, which will allow you to rid yourself of heavy, negative, Earthy energy. Work on loving yourself and bringing universal, unconditional energy as the default condition of your life. You will be reaching toward your mother and contact will be easier.

ANSWER: We have entitled your question and our answer as “accepting and opening.” From the day your soul entered into the physical body that you now call home, you have been on a spiritual journey of discovery and learning. As with all souls, the first years of your life were involved with the completely ego-based physical lessons you sought to understand. As you became more aware of the fact that you are much more than that physical body, you felt the urge to learn who you are and what abilities and powers you have at your disposal.

The more you open yourself to the feel of the energy that comprises the universe around you, the more you can sense, feel, and interact with all the other souls who are not currently in human form. Your guides and many friends make up this group that accompanies you. They are ecstatic about your progress in establishing contact with them. Their presence is what you feel.

You are an older soul who has lived many lifetimes. A number of your prior experiences have dealt with various areas of healing, hence your being drawn to those interests. Whatever you choose to study, accept that you are a part of the energy and open yourself to the flow you will be able to feel. Don’t get too tied down by ritual—rely instead on your intuition which is opening up. Have a fun time!

ANSWER: Your mother has spent her entire lifetime perfecting manipulation through the use of negativity and joining with negative spirits to increase her strength. You were fed a belief system that made you subservient and weak as long as you gave in o all your mother’s wishes. You never thought life was any other way than your household showed. She also threw in a guilt trip with her teachings so that if you even thought about fighting her behavior, you would deduce she had no choice because it was the way she was raised and she was helpless to change.

You have been no end of entertainment for your mother. She has fed off your discomfort all these years. The more embarrassment she can cause you, with your response of feeling humiliated, the stronger the negative energy she is able to absorb from your aura. An additional burst of your energy goes to her whenever you give in and acknowledge her professed superiority by giving into her demands.

She has a very powerful psychic ability because she super-charges it with negative beings that assist her with her torment. You have been trained to allow her thoughts to permeate your mind. This makes you subject to her and able to feel the lackeys that she sends to do her bidding. If you wish to stop being bothered by these beings, surround yourself with white light and ask the archangels and beings of the light to protect you from this assault. The entities do not like candlelight and the smell of sage. You can discourage them with burning candles and sage incense and having clear quartz crystals around.

It is time to make your own beliefs. She will never change from her current behavior. If you want a change, you are going to have to sever contact and block her psychically. Start building up your positive energy to stop her negativity. Do this by ridding your life and mind of any negative thoughts. See yourself happy, content, and in charge of your own life. You have no spiritual obligation to her whatsoever.

ANSWER: The Kundalini or kundalini energy is life-source energy, directly connected to your essence and, therefore, to the oneness of Source. To tap into this energy is the lifelong dream of mystics and aspiring masters. The name comes from the Sanskrit meaning coiled, sometimes translated as snake. This refers to the fact that it remains coiled within the physical body until it is awakened through intention or by stimulation of some sort. Yoga practices, meditation, psychotropic drugs, and other means may cause it to uncoil and rise unbidden.

Since it is so powerful, it can affect the senses in all kinds of ways, from the ones you describe, to out-of-body experiences and psychic expansion. With discipline, the kundalini energy may be brought under control and used to connect to Source energy, your soul essence, and the unconditional love of the universe, generally called “bliss.”

Kundalini energy is only dangerous when people get freaked out by its appearance and fight the effects. There may be a psychic break from third-dimensional reality, causing difficulties with everyday life. If they relax and meditate on these new, enlarged feelings, they will learn to control when it is active and how far it transports them into the other dimensions. If you suspect or are aware that the kundalini is causing you discomfort, you may use your intention to push it back into a coiled, non-reactive state.

A. Spiritual Being, you are seeing others of your kind. Souls that are not incarnate (in physical form) are in energetic form and may appear to float as they move around. As they move in the atmosphere that you inhabit, they disrupt the air, and then they become visible to the human eye—if you allow yourself to be aware of them. What is necessary for someone to see free souls is, first, a belief that other non-physical souls exist and, second, an acceptance that you can see them.

We are very pleased that your media has given more people a greater understanding of the basic principles of soul life, through your various television series. Ghosts, reincarnation, voices from beyond, animal communication, all these experiences are becoming commonplace to you—opening your perspective of possibilities. All souls exist at Home in unconditional love. When you are happy it brings in more love—love of self, love of life, love of others—and that draws more souls to help you share and celebrate love. Practice living in love and we will always be there to rejoice with you.

ANSWER: Your problem is your own expectations and being somewhat invested in your idea of what being a medium means. There is no one way to communicate with spirits. It comes in different forms for everyone. You may have taken a class, but people can only instruct you in the manner in which things work for them. They are not in your body, or having your journey, so they can’t say exactly how things will work for you.

When you are going about your day-to-day activities, you have no pre-conceived ideas, so you are open to receiving messages from the other side. When you are engaging in healing sessions, your focus is on being the conduit for the energy from the universe, not on communication. You have found that as the energy flows through you, so do the words from the souls ready to have their say.

It is not necessary to know who is delivering the message unless it is for a particular person from a particular soul. If the missive is to share wisdom or direction, it doesn’t matter who the speaker is. If you have protected your channel and allow only energy of the light, then it is merely a matter of opening to the spoken word and feeling whether or not it resonates with the subject or subjects to whom it was addressed.

When you are concentrating on trying to get a message, you always ask yourself if the message that comes through is truly from the other side. Stop doubting! Start feeling the “rightness” of it.

To start to trust a little more, have a question in your mind when you clear all thoughts during a meditation. See what you “hear” as you meditate. Try doing the same thing as you get ready to go to bed at night. Don’t question or debate; just do it for a while until it becomes second nature.

You need to get comfortable with the dialogue. It’s just like any other conversation—except the other party is invisible.

ANSWER: Many physical bodies are overly sensitive to spiritual, nonphysical types of energy. These can originate from the movement of the soul’s essential kundalini, an opening into the universe connecting to life force energy, or the brilliance of unconditional Source love. Some bodies are rigid and not easily accommodating to additional energy within the structure of the body.

When new sources of vibrational energy are introduced to a place such as the head, they compete for space. When a person is meditating within a group, an additional supply of energy is added to the person’s own because the joint volume multiplies its impact on the body.

The purpose of meditation and Buddhist practices is to elevate the vibration of the body to a clearer, stronger connection to nonphysical beings. Your body is resisting the release of its control over the physicality of your shell. This has resulted in a battle with headaches and forces being applied internally. The high blood pressure is one indication. The ringing/tapping comes from a change in pressure such as what many people get while ascending to altitude or in an airplane.

The first batch of headaches lasted until your body became used to the changes going on. They returned because you were experiencing slightly different forms of meditation and again benefiting from the combination with others also participating in the retreat.

To lessen these effects, release all expectations, fears, and analysis of what is occurring. Relax your entire physical body and expand your emotional, spiritual, and mental bodies outward, enabling more room within for expansion of the vibrations. Begin with a series of deep breaths, releasing stress. Think of your body as being able to merge with the nonphysical world without being impacted in the physical realm.

ANSWER: All souls have the same mission while in a physical form: to learn the lessons they chose before coming, and to get to know exactly what the nature of being a soul entails. Your lessons include physical ailments and understanding that they do not define who you are. Some people with difficulties let the definition of their disease identify who they are and how they interact with those around them. You saw each condition as something to overcome while living your life.

The work you envisioned for your lifetime involves energy and communication between the dimensions. Physical bodies are healed by realigning the various functions of the body to return them to the pattern from which they started. You unconsciously have done this for yourself, and you transmit energy out to others to assist them. In other words, you have been doing healing for quite some time. This ability to transfer energy to others is why strangers are drawn to you – they feel you are a healing spot.

There is no perfect way to balance the body, no one form of “energetic healing.” They all involve the use of universal life-force energy to restructure the misaligned parts. No special training is needed to fulfill this ability. The intention of the person who is activating the energy, as well as the intention of the recipient, determines the degree of shifting, or healing, that occurs.

Those with whom you were close who have transitioned are available to assist you to start to feel the flow of energy. Read a little of the material out there that talks about various methods that have worked for others, and develop your own connection to the flow. Practice, and the skill is yours.

ANSWER: Intention is the connection. But, that said, intention without action is nothing. You must initiate the conversation. And don’t have expectations of the form that it will take. They may connect in a normal human conversational way, or they may give you other signs such as sounds or lights, or direct you to outside sources.

Already you have expectations that a connection to your guides will assure you of a pain-free, successful life. That may be so – but it might also not be what you planned for this life before coming. Guides will never tell you exactly what to do; they will merely advise you on accomplishing the possibilities you chose.

Being an independent individual doesn’t mean needing the assistance of your guides. It means taking responsibility for the decisions in your life that direct you through it. Each soul creates their own reality in which to learn their chosen lessons. Letting others tell you what to do or what you need is counterproductive to learning.

Get out of your thinking mind, which is filled with the thoughts, ideas, and demands of others. Always look at life through your feeling heart. Is this action one you may learn from? Is this something you need to do to become more aware of who you are?

Stop wanting someone else to validate your life for you. You have all the answers, so start listening to yourself.

ANSWER:  Practitioners who commit themselves to a connection with the Universal Life Force Energy for the purpose of assisting others to bring their existence back into balance join a network of beings dedicated to that action. When you went through the “opening” process through the attunement into Reiki energy, you became part of the group of healers who are always ready, willing, and able to assist others.

Once you begin with your procedure, you connect to the “party line,” so to speak, and utilize the combined intention of the Reiki Masters and other light workers toward the goal you seek. What you are hearing and seeing is their joint communication to help synchronize the healing that is taking place.

They will occasionally send a message to you and the others that they have detected a blockage or disease that needs to have additional or special attention. You also sometimes hear or see their personal thoughts as they act as a conduit for the healing energy.

You have the ability to open the conversation, to ask and answer questions, and to engage in the discussions that are floating around. Just release your own thoughts, while concentrating on the flow of energy to the client, and engage in the dialogue around you.

ANSWER: Your early memories of fear of alien invasions and destruction were the result of the prevailing media reporting of that time. People make contracts to be a part of life lessons, both individual and group. The spiritual contracts are only applicable to things happening within the duality of planet Earth. Their purpose is to present situations that force the soul to exercise their freedom of choice so as to enlarge their knowledge and understanding of negative and positive energy.

Souls having experiences outside of the duality of Earth are doing so to explore some concept that does not involve negative and positive choices. As we discussed in the above question and answer, everything that you can perceive is energy and has an amorphous composition unless a soul crates a reality illusion that takes a physical form.

Many agreements decided between souls, for a time frame outside of the unconditionally loving energy of Home, consist of a shared illusion wherein they may assist each other with some project or other. There are souls currently conducting experiments around physical bodies chosen for use in different environments. One such examination is being directed by a group of souls on what Earth calls Zeta Reticuli.

You had offered to be a subject in their studies. This is partially conducted in your third-dimensional world and partially in an alternative reality agreed upon by all parties. Each soul must maintain their chosen energy-generated physical form in both dimensions for the examinations to take place. Your participation in these studies was concluded in a very short period of time since it concerned the developing human body only.

You would be able to re-experience the contacts during hypnosis or during deep meditation. Only you would be able to determine the value of doing this. You will definitely know all about it when you return Home.

ANSWER: There are a few facts in your question that we agree with and several more that we do not. You do not “come” from the stars; you come from Source, or Home. You have lived lives before on stars and have experience in intergalactic activities. You are here only once as the person that you now know as yourself; whether you come back or not is completely up to you once you complete this life, return home, debrief the events of this life, and decide what you wish to do next.

No souls choose to come to Earth to birth Earth humans to have them exported to the stars. Most of the outer coverings used by souls on the other planets are not like homo sapiens, and Earth children could not live on most other places. Since each soul decides what it wishes to do with its life, were a parent to make such a decision for a soul, that parent would be in violation of the freedom-of-choice principle that rules the universe.

It is true, at this time, that you do not know how to love—this is the major life lesson you came to Earth to learn. You have to find the love within you, that unconditional love which is the essence of your soul. You have to rid yourself of all negativity in the form of fears and doubts to connect easily with this energy. Nothing is preventing this integration but your own negative thoughts about yourself.

The “messenger” you have heard has been more than one entity. In the beginning it was a negative entity that was perpetuating the message you believe your girlfriend received; it came from an Earth-bound negative being who was having fun playing with you. Later, as things began to fall apart, the voice that came through was a guide trying to offer assistance. You can no longer hear the latter because you have lost faith in yourself.

In meditation, seek to establish contact with your guide; he is waiting. Let him help you work through your problems and reach love. That is your job now.

ANSWER: Before the introduction of speech, and humans, to the universe, communication between souls was accomplished using geometric symbols. Each design has not only a visual appearance, but also an energetic signature as it meets the rest of the energy surrounding it. This energy transmission has been recognized and used by humans from earliest known times. Many religions (crosses and icons), governments (seals, flags), landowners (hex signs), and people in general (good luck charms) rely on the power of a sign. Astrology figures in transits and other planetary alignments and movements, and feng shui uses balancing energies to level a living space.

Crop circles are notes, sign posts, advertisements, and educational messages from several different sources. The man-made ones are hoaxes created by those wishing to get noticed. There are Earth energies, such as those that create measurable vortexes and ley lines, that comment on the fragile eco system. There are those that are communiqués from non-human souls currently having an experience on a planet other than Earth who wish to provide information and support. And finally, some non-physical beings from the higher dimensions such as guides, angels, and masters attempt to pass on their wisdom.

The basic principle behind all the circles is encouragement for those who will listen. The feelings you obtain from entering the circle are part of the message. Do you feel fear, happiness, love, stability? These are all a means of communication using energy. The appearance of the pattern triggers responses of a different kind in people who are visually oriented. The message is contained on many levels. Just go with the flow and see what the design says to you and how it makes you feel. That is your message.

ANSWER: First a comment on celestial (mostly planetary) effects on a human body. Homo sapiens are largely composed of water. Large masses of solid matter – such as the moon, Saturn, even the entirety of the Milky Way system – pull, push, heat, and cool the body. Most people are unaware of these influences that can have an impact on the hormones and fluids within the body, most of which literally bob up and down in this liquid-like energy potion, causing your rollercoaster effect.

You are extremely sensitive to energy movement. There are many types of energy. The planetary energy is something you can direct away from yourself with your intention. You can see your body covered by an umbrella that causes the vibrations to avoid hitting and affecting you. This will derail your rollercoaster.

The energies that cause you the most difficulty are those emanating from other souls who are sharing the planet with you. The worst impact comes from the negativity of people embroiled in third-dimensional dramas. Particularly when you get drawn into the drama, such as an argument, you can feel positive energy being taken away from you. Avoiding engaging in verbal fighting will balance out your environment.

Being an open empath, you feel the energy fluctuations of those around you. If you have no protections in place to prevent being assailed by their negativity, you feel every speck of disruption within them. You need to learn to close your “receivers” to stop or moderate the amount of another’s world that you sense. This again has to do with using your intention to cover yourself in white protective light to shield you and have these emotions bounce off of you.

With each of these protection and shielding techniques, you have the ability to lessen or open them as you choose. The benefit of being so sensitive is the ability to sense whom to avoid because of their negativity and desire to steal your energy, and whom you can help, if you wish, by sending them healing and love energy.

ANSWER: This is a group of soul mates and other souls with which you have spent a lot of lifetimes engaged in communication. In the soul’s pure energy essence form there is no mechanical way to produce sound as would be heard by the human ear. In this state communication is accomplished by vibrations.

These symbols are like the characters representing a celestial language needed to produce a dictionary or encyclopedia. Once you get fluent in their use you will be recording something that could be equated to sheet music—what the vibrations would look like if reproduced for all to see. It is familiar and natural because it is your native language.

ANSWER: This is the behavior of a discarnate soul wandering the world wanting to exact revenge for believed wrongs when it was in body. This particular entity has also been with you in several of your other lives. This one was a militaristic existence where you were on opposite sides. You were recalling a time when it had shot down your transport and wanted to enter your mind to retrieve the information it contained. You were remembering the incident in a moment-by-moment time frame.

You are a very advanced vibrational being and can prevent invasions. No energy can enter into another unless it is given permission, which is why it tried to convince you to let it in. It can exert a lot of pressure to persuade you to allow entry but cannot enter without an invite. In instances such as these, ask for assistance from your guides and the archangels. They will be more than happy to help.

The Nexus was a member of the opposing force who was turned and possessed to do the bidding of its enemy. Think of Captain Pickard when he was “integrated” by the Borg. You preferred to leave the human plane (by dying) rather than become a tool for your nemesis.

You can prevent recurrence of this type of activity by covering yourself in white light and invoking the protection and assistance of the beings of the light at the beginning of each day and before you fall asleep at night. Negative beings will continue trying to attach to you because they feed off the intense vibrational light of your soul.

ANSWER: First there must be a clarification about healing practitioners. Humans do not do the healing themselves without assistance. Any healing involves two parties: the healer and the one being healed. If clients do not participate in the procedure and/or do not believe they will be healed, nothing will change in their condition.

This is true even with regular medical doctors. If they prescribe antibiotics for infection and patients do not think they will work, then they will not cure the condition. Patient have control over their bodies and can block the healing or balancing medicine or energy directed toward them.

The power for the healing does not come from the “healers.” The practitioners are merely the conduit for universal life force energy coming from the unconditional love energy of Source. It is the intention of the healers that directs and intensifies the energy, directing it to the needed area.

The healing energy never comes from the practitioners themselves. Were people to send their essential energy to others to help them, they would become weakened and need someone else to replenish their energy. It would be like donating a huge amount of your blood to another until you are too weak to function and require a transfusion from another.

All that being said, when multiple healers work on a single client, they intensify and exponentially multiply the force of the energy delivered to the client. It doesn’t matter if practitioners are from this planet or another; every body counts.

Manifestation is an individual thing because each of us has our own reality and creates it to our liking. You cannot fashion a world for others since they will see what they are expecting.

Several alien nations have protected the Earth from the effects of massive energy bursts from the Sun by intercepting them before they hit the planet. They are all prohibited from individual assistance to souls having a human experience on Earth since they honor the fact that the soul needs to exercise its own free will to make the choices for its journey.

ANSWER: It is impossible to get a person to do something they do not wish to do unless they consent to the action.  You can manipulate another and appear to get them to do as you want, but in truth, they are following you of their own volition.

Many people do not wish to take the responsibility for making decisions, so they will defer to another. They believe that you know better what they want and need than they do. They are giving all their power over to you. Is this wrong for either you or them? No. It is all about the lessons each chose to learn.

When you are manifesting and creating your own reality, there are two sides involved. There are the actions that you are performing and the decisions of the other party. There is the possibility that all you have done is put the energy out into the universe of the type person you wish to attract, and that person, who is looking for someone just like you, is responding to the call.

The second possibility is that your call is heard by a person who doesn’t really know what they want, so they let you make the choices and get drawn into your desire. This is not wrong because their choice is to let someone else make the decisions. This then helps both of you get what you want.

ANSWER: There are a lot of energy shiftings occurring at this time around the globe. People who are working toward enlightenment of their true essence of unconditional love sense each shift as it happens. Barriers, which have existed so that physical beings have not been able to perceive or make contact with nonphysical beings, are coming down.

As each obstruction is removed, sensitive people are able to feel their connection to the universal energy. To some, this is referred to as an attunement to the new dimensional energy. It is nothing more than the body learning to resonate with a different vibration. Once a connection has been made and accepted, the soul is then able to connect at will within the expanded energy. Out of fear, some souls reject the possibility of contact with nonphysical beings.

You sensed the lowering of yet another barricade. You could have assured yourself it was not a psychic attack had you reached out and felt that it was completely positive, with no negativity around at all. What you do with this new expanded conscious field is up to you. This will permit connecting more easily with guides and communicating with other nonphysicals.

Going all the way into higher and purer vibrations allows you to develop psychic powers and reach into your akashic records to retrieve wisdom from your past lives. You will have to build up a tolerance for the higher vibration and practice exercising within it. Be patient and persistent if you seek this ability.

ANSWER: An orb is a sphere composed of energy. In most cases, it is the Earthly pattern that souls (spirits) assume when they are visiting your current time and dimension and don’t want to bother with taking the effort necessary to construct a physical body.

The souls normally appear as shimmering spheres. They are generally white, or tinted silver or gold, but may be any color within the spectrum. Some souls have fun and form recognizable animal or human faces within the sphere, but others spend their time sending out geometric figures, which is one of our means of communication. Occasionally the energy will not be contained in a sphere but may take some other form or be vapor.

Orbs may be seen anywhere at any time. In an area that contains happy or very spiritual energy, such as caused by meditation, healing, toning, chakra balancing, or the like, we come for enjoyment and to share with the human beings present.

Some incarnate souls have the ability to catch sight of us out of the corner of their eyes. We do not photograph very well on regular film because it is not sensitive enough, but we show up beautifully on digital reproductions because our energetic vibrations register on the pixels.

As guides, and those desiring to offer whatever service we can, we are around you all the time. This is one way we can verify our existence to you-if you believe in the first place. If someone does not believe that we non-physical entities exist, we could tweak them on the nose and they would still deny our existence.

We often feel like saying “Tag, you’re it!” so catch sight of us if you can.

ANSWER: What you are experiencing in the area of the shelter is the opening of an energy vortex. Some normally stable vortexes are shifting because of the seismic activity on the planet at this time. When the energy gets confined under an immovable object it blows the blockage out of the way to release the pressure. Once released, it generally establishes a flow that moves in and around the objects, and no further eruptions occur.

Energy vortexes feel good to spirits that have refused to go Home or are stuck in Earth’s plane because of confusion. They are drawn to large amounts of energy and love vortexes in general because they are always free-flowing. The movement of your grill was assisted by several of these discarnates. Guides are watching over areas such as yours and the souls that were playing with your grill have been moved on. That does not mean that more may not appear before the energy stabilizes again.

Depending upon the further pressures on the planet, this vortex may or may not stay open in your garden. It may have some affect upon you and your family but the effects should be positive—if you are positive. The vortex also intensifies the mood of a person. A good mood becomes great and a bad mood may get horrible. Be aware of these possibilities. Within this energy, your intentions, such as from an affirmation, will be very strong. Bask in this situation of a pleasant energy boost.

ANSWER: More and more you are sensing your essence and that of others around you. The problem is that you have not been able to reconcile your internal knowing with the third-dimensional acceptance from those around you. To balance this you have decided you need physical proof, then you will know what you know you know. Welcome to the human experience!

Man wants validation of all his intuitions-and oh, it must be physical. The sense of simply knowing that something exists won’t do because you can’t touch it or share it with someone else. Take for instance the non-physical assistance from your guides: even though you know they are there, you can’t see them, and will not completely believe in them until you receive some type of physical sign. Oh, by the way, to thank them just think about your gratitude and they will know.

In almost all cases the spirit world will not spend time in holding your hands and giving you physical signs. Their sense is that if you do not feel them and sense their sincerity, then you are not ready to receive direct assistance from them. Your own subconscious is telling you, in the interests it has compelled you to pursue, that there is more out there than the physical.

The paranormal things that you are studying are other people’s searches for that same physical proof. A lot of the results indicate that there is evidence of things the public does not accept, but actual proof is elusive. How do you feel about this or that phenomenon? Are you going to accept its existence only when you see it for yourself? This is an example of your spiritual search as well.

The question now is: are you going to rely upon your inner feelings or are you always going to demand tangible proof? The choice is up to you. Reach out and seek what is part of this lifetime’s belief system and stop spending time trying to prove your intuitions.

ANSWER: You are really talking about two entirely different features of nonphysical objects. “Etheric cords” is the terminology that normally refers to the aspect of the soul that comes from the realm of unconditional love where it originated with its separation from Source energy.

These are what a soul uses to animate a human body or to give cells viability. The cords may contain a simple connection claiming the fetus prior to birth, or they may be the soul’s connection to its essence after birth. The cords themselves are all of the vibration of Source’s unconditional love. A soul’s total essence is a snapshot of its Akashic record of everything that soul has ever done in its many incarnations.

Attachments, on the other hand, originate from another source. They may be a soul who is no longer in a human body but who has chosen not to return to unconditional love for one reason or another. These souls remain in the duality of positive and negative energy and generally are full of negativity because they have chosen to remain to seek revenge for something or to take over someone’s body so they may have control again in the physical arena – this is all negative energy.

Another form of attachment may be based out of residual energy generated by negative forces. Take, for instance, a person getting angrier and angrier about the actions of another so that all they can think about is destroying that person. Their getting madder calls any random negativity to come join the party and add to the strength of their feelings.

Attachments composed of negativity can draw a person into the negativity, or lower vibrations, if they spend time thinking about, joining with, and using it. This lowers a soul’s vibration since it holds them in the physical, third-dimensional duality instead of allowing them to rise to or maintain their choice of a positive, unconditionally loving, Source energy vibration.

It is possible to help get rid of any attachments you or others might have, after you have protected yourself with white light, affirmations, and obtaining the assistance of your guides without lowering your vibration. Examining the negative attachment without protection makes the energy assume you are interested in its nature and want to partake. Taking on negativity immediately lowers your vibration.

A: As we have discussed on numerous occasions, planet Earth was created to be a cauldron for experiencing lessons in the opposite of unconditional love. When Source [the Creator] envisioned this classroom, it was realized that in order to manifest energetic duality for souls whose only previous Home had been within unconditional love, negativity must be present in sufficient intensity to allow all possible situations to exist. To fulfill this purpose, Source asked a number of souls to go to Earth with the sole job of providing this negativity, which is what you call evil. These souls would not take body form but would be a pervading energy ready when needed to complete any experience.

These souls do their assignments very well. When a soul decides it wishes to learn about being possessed by another and losing all control of its life, one of these negative energies steps in to assist. When your friend used the Ouija board to invite in a companion, the energy took the request seriously and infiltrated your friend’s very being. He now shares his body with the energy of another and both of their thoughts compete within his head.

He is aware that others do not hear and see his companion, but he will not let her go. He is holding on to her and becoming more and more irrational in human terms. This is a lesson that was chosen, and only your friend can choose to terminate it.

These negative souls also provide the background energy for expansive Earth projects such as genocide, famine, and dictatorships. They do not always enter the individual bodies, but set the background stage to enable easy access for the participants to get into the mood for their actions.

Each soul has always chosen to be in its situation and may choose to exit at any time it feels it has completed its lessons.

A: A true self-love is tapping into the soul of oneself to touch the unconditional love that is the essence of all of us. As souls, we are all unconditional love. That love requires nothing, including another person, for you to be able to bathe in its warmth.

Loving your self is the ability to go inside and touch that unconditional love. In order to reach that state of awareness, you must love every aspect of where you are within your present physical being.

You may say: I am fat, ugly, have a lousy job, or am a drunk; how can I love myself? Our answer is that all we are asking you to love is your essence—the unconditional love of your soul. You don’t even have to like everything about the body you currently call home, but you need to love who you are as a soul. You have the ability to change the body that encompasses your soul, unless that is part of this life’s lesson.

The love you seek, even crave from others, is reflected from you. You can love another only to the extent that you love yourself. If you hate yourself, you are incapable of truly loving another because you do not feel that you are worthy of their love.

When you love everything about the beauty of your soul, you know that you are as good as everyone else and worthy of receiving their love. There are no fears that can exist in such an environment, and therefore you are only aware of the essence—the love.

ANSWER: You first began to talk to friends on the Other Side as a child. Their energy drew negative discarnate energies into the conversation. You were unable to distinguish between the two types of energy. It was more fun to interact with the more apparently physical souls who, in your case, were the negative forces that remained behind, developing your darkening character. Your parents, out of their concern, had these negative energies blocked from influencing you. However, this has no direct connection with your current daily issues.

Bitterness, negative judgment, intolerance—none of these is an attribute of an old soul. A pure soul watches the foibles of the physical world, learns from them, and does not have a visceral reaction to the dark energies. You, like all incarnate beings, came to Earth to experience life in all its possibilities. These include learning what is in balance and what needs to be balanced—but only within yourself.

One of your major lessons in this lifetime is to learn about third-dimensional energies and their appearance of seeming to be in the higher dimensions. Duality, your own negative and positive, exists only within the third dimension. To raise your vibration out of conflict you need to be able to see situations as things to evaluate and not to judge. You can only make decisions for yourself. You cannot influence the actions of others. It takes time away from your journey to be concerned about the lives of others. Go inside and see why you are feeling these strong emotions. They are signposts of lessons you have not completed.

ANSWER: Two things are happening here. You are not only feeling the energy of other people, but you are unconsciously allowing it to be absorbed into your physical body. Secondly, you have not instituted protections to keep this from happening and have not learned clearing techniques that will expel the energies from your person.

As an empathic, sensitive person, you have options. You can completely shut down your reception of energy, or you can use it to learn more about people and how to help them in your profession. If you wish to bar it from being felt, you need to close off sensations other than your own. This is a very drastic solution and may not be reversible if you wish to use this skill later.

A second option is to create, or have help from your guides in creating, a series of filters that allow in only those energies you wish to receive. Say you want to feel where a client is in pain so that you might concentrate on massaging that area, open only to that sensation. If you also want to assist with clearing the cause of the pain, you could ask for the emotional connection to the cause so you can work your client through their blockage.

But have the filter flow through you, releasing the pain to the ground after you become aware of it, instead of absorbing it into your body. You can use this same filtering system on the auditory vibrations. It is like adjusting the treble and bass while listening to music. Ask your personal guides or the healing guides to help you with these adjustments. Your intention is the controlling factor for all these techniques.

If you absorb the pain and then have to heal yourself from the effects, you are doing double duty – for yourself and the client. If you sense it as it passes through, you obtain the information you need but don’t have to do the work to remove it later. Something that helps remove residual energy is visualizing yourself under a cleansing waterfall of vibrational energy, which simultaneously cleans and rejuvenates.

Part of what you are sensing is also negative energy and discarnates that are attached to your clients. You can prevent these from impacting you if you offer a protective affirmation before beginning your treatment. Just ask that only beings of the light participate and that all negative entities refrain from entering your treatment zone.

ANSWER: If a soul contacts you and you tell it to leave you alone, or stop talking to you, if it is in the light, it will not be angered. It will just do as you ask and go on its way. In the light there is no negativity. There is no judgment that would entertain anger, only an evaluation of whether you want their assistance or not. You, the human, are in charge of your journey. The spirits, guides, and energies of the light are merely around to offer assistance—but only when they have been asked.

There are a lot of stuck negative-energy souls. Out of fear or emotional connection to Earth, they have not gone into the light. The only way they can get anything physically done is to talk a human into doing it for them. They are basically negativity-driven, so they start by lying to you and telling you whatever they think will get you to listen to them. If you feel anger when you assert yourself with them, you are dealing with a negative being.

In your haste to talk to your deceased friend, the discarnate found a willing ear. Your friend will be able to communicate with you through automatic writing once he gets the hang of it. Give him some time now that he knows you are interested. Some of the souls who have stopped by with information were enlisted by you before you incarnated to visit and remind you of things you would be able to use in your journey.

Your guides change constantly. They come into your life for a particular purpose and then move on when it is accomplished to leave room for the next one who is there to help you with your next task. As you fall asleep at night, put out the intention that you communicate only with beings of the light who will come forth for the highest and greatest good. The voices in the morning are those soliciting your attention.

ANSWER: We are a bit confused by your reference to the physical sensations you experienced being equated with spirituality. You experienced romantic lust feelings. Spirituality has no physical aspect to it. Pure spirituality is a sense of being able to feel yourself and the depth of the universe within you. It is the attainment of unconditional love while in physical form, and a connection to your essence, which is still partially at Home. It does not take another individual to activate or to reach this sensation. It is a state of non-judgmental, unconditional love devoid of any fear or doubt. It resonates with every inch of your physicality with no negativity at all.

There are those in human form who are charismatic and speak as if they have all the knowledge conceivable. Ask yourself if all you feel coming from this man is love—no fear, no doubts, no judgment of one thing being any better than any other—just the desire to share a loving environment with you. If it is, then why do you feel fear? Why do you sense he wants to steal your essence?

Some apparently “spiritual” people gather around them a group of followers so that they might feel “mastery” over others. You live in a duality, and half the energy on the planet is negative. Powerful negative energy can take your breath away. It can make you doubt yourself and your senses. There is an excitement about it that is not duplicated anywhere else. Negativity has an intensity whose innate danger feels appealing.

In any situation always ask yourself first how you feel, then why you feel that particular way. The answers will take you to the lessons you are being confronted with and the reason you have not learned what you need in order to move on. Any time you are caught in the “spotlight” of a new experience, it is very important to step out of that light for a while so you may evaluate what it is. If it is what you wish to experience, you simply have to step back in when you are ready.

ANSWER: You are extremely sensitive to the emotional vibrations of other souls having a mutual physical journey with you at this time on planet Earth. When someone projects thoughts of what is happening to them, you are able to pick them up and almost take the place of the participant. With your ability to “time shift” – that is, to go backward and forward in time – you see the other person in situations they are drawing to themselves or actions the planet is in the process of going through.

You have the ability to continue “seeing” these projections or to stop them by blocking the connection. Be aware: this is an ability you were well aware of before you came, and you decided that it would allow you to help mankind if you so chose. You have already done this in telling some people about your “dreams” – which encouraged them to change their plans, thus preventing the problem.

While this is very unsettling for you now, it is a skill you meticulously perfected during a past life. Your thoughts were that it could be a neat adjunct to a career in this life. You could use it to become a reporter, an author, a rescuer, a counselor, or a historian. It is also like gathering a useful tool to protect yourself since you are aware of potential dangers you might be walking into.

The voice your father heard was actually yours. You had decided it would be really cool to choose your own name before you came into the body you now inhabit. You waited until he was in his resting cycle and then appeared to him and pronounced the name you wished to be called. You hadn’t anticipated the fright you would deliver with the name.

ANSWER: Raising your Kundalini, the central energy line within the physical body, makes it easy to connect with all the nonphysical aspects of your soul. If you do not take care to directly control the stream of energy, it can take over your conscious mind – making you susceptible to any energy source around, from inside and outside. Spending time “floating” around in the ether is like being constantly on a psychedelic drug that prevents you from being grounded in the physical reality. This gives you the sense of disconnection from your body.

You are still connected with your essence in that you are your essence; that is, you are a soul having a human experience. Your soul never disconnects from the lives it has chosen. You have lost your way because you sense you can have no control over your destiny with your Kundalini open. That is not the case. You can learn to control the energy and use it for spiritual growth.

The process of reconnecting to your sanity, or feeling a part of the physical world again, is re-evaluating what you know and what you believe. You have stepped into a very powerful sports car and have pushed the accelerator all the way to the floor – you need to learn to control the speed to a manageable degree.

First step is recognizing who you are as a soul. You are a piece of Source energy and have all the same powers and abilities. When you accept that as true, you can then start to use those powers to create the human life you desire. In a meditative state, take each one of the out-of-control issues in your life and examine it. Understand why you fear it, and know that you are the one holding it to you and that it can be released.

Release each hindrance in your life and gather strength and wisdom from your soul through the Kundalini. Attack each unhappy, negative thought as soon as it appears, and tell it that you do not need it. You draw to yourself those things you need or wish to experience for your growth. Once you learn from them, you can send them packing.

ANSWER: At this time on your planet, compliments of the 26,000-year planetary alignment cycle, a lot of souls and spirits are able to communicate with those sharing human lives on Earth. This is not restricted to souls who are at Home in unconditional love but extends to souls who are having other-than-human physical experiences in other locations.

Any soul who has spent time on Earth and completed all levels and aspects of a particular lesson is deemed to have mastered that trait. In other words, there are a whole slew of masters of one thing or another out there; most are willing to share their expertise.

Terminology on your planet is not standardized. It is not even possible for us to explain some of the facts about spiritual dimensions, time, and abilities because the details exceed any knowledge or wisdom contained within human perceptions on your planet. Individual concepts are in the eye of the beholder because each soul has the ability to create its own reality. A group of souls accepting and believing the same scenario are able to jointly create and live in such a vision.

There are no absolutes except that planet Earth is a duality of positive and negative energies. It is the only such location in existence. A soul may choose the type of place it wishes to live within. If it first selects a non-judgmental view of its fellow humans, it removes conflict from its awareness. If it chooses health and harmony for its physical body, it may create that as a reality for itself as well. Without judgment there is no right or wrong in anything—hence a new world created to the order of the participant.

ANSWER: Achieving a goal does not make it definite that you will always be able to enjoy that place – unless you continue to do what you had to perform to accomplish the goal. Once you visualize and manifest the release of an issue, it will reappear unless you continue to work at seeing yourself free of the problem. The results being short-lived means only that you slip back into old belief patterns or forget completely about the work you have done.

You have been slipping away from self-love and back into a victim mentality where you easily accept the “poor me” label. The things into which you are putting most of your thoughts and fears are the energies the universe thinks you wish to experience. When you identify with a condition, you unconsciously accept that it is supposed to be there.

Start using affirmations about your perfect health, your fantastic physical condition, and magnificent hair. Take responsibility for your health – don’t pass the blame off to practitioners. See each treatment as a step in perfecting your affirmations.

Don’t see your body as a disease. See your body as out of ease and needing to be brought back into balance. Rid your energy of the panic you have allowed in and find a mental, emotional, spiritual place where you can charge all your physical areas back into balance.

Live in the now and address each sensation as it appears. Find where it came from and why it is there. Your attitude toward each test determines the result.

ANSWER: The part of your soul that is your physical appearance here in this lifetime is but a grain of sand expressing your existence as a soul. You have lived many lifetimes, had many experiences, gained a magnitude of wisdom, and cataloged all of it in your Akashic records. Your unconscious has access to all that knowledge.

Whenever you engage in anything that expresses who you are, without a definite directive plan in mind, your unconscious starts to respond to the situation. You are connecting to past experiences and friendships that meant a lot to the learning practices in which you interacted.

Your work is being created as a collaboration of your remembrances and the energy of soul mates and friends who want to show support. The eyes are the physical expression of the souls’ human lives, and the spirals the trail of the nonphysical energies.

Your intention, whether conscious or unconscious, chooses the participants in each work. The results are a combination of channeling, cooperation, and interpretation of you and those on the Other Side.

You have always used non-verbal communication to deliver messages when in a physical state, mostly through various forms of art. It is one way in which you have defined human existence and its corollary spiritual phase. No matter how your life begins, you always find yourself right back to bringing messages forward.

ANSWER: The land and hotel that you visited has been the site of several human life ending events. Some of the souls who were involved have not transitioned yet because they do not know that they are dead. The energy that surrounded these actions is extremely negative and draws in living humans who want to connect to that negative feeling and also feel safe that they will not stand out from “normal” people because of the energy.

The first room was one of the ones where a death took place. The three individuals that you saw were engaged in criminal activity related to drugs and were expecting a setup by a rival gang. Nothing happened that night but the potential was there. The men were armed, and if you had seemed to be interested in or had interfered with them, you would have been in danger.

Both you and your mother are very sensitive to negativity when it is present in massive amounts. Your guides were also making contact with you that evening to get you to be aware of the difference in the degree of negativity that was present. This is a learning that you can carry with you all the time.

If you consciously scan the area around you, the degree of negativity will register just like a thermometer. The only possible danger to you in such a circumstance would be if it enticed you to gather some of that negativity into your body, replacing your usual positive, unconditional loving energy.

The further you step away from ego judgment, the purer will be your love presence and the easier it will be to feel the status of those near you. When a soul is not consciously aware of the energy balance, negativity has a very strong pulling force and tries to capture a larger portion of your essence. Stay in love and the world is beautiful and bright with no detectible fear.

ANSWER: Spirits do not have physical bodies and therefore have no vocal cords or any method of producing sound. They can, however, project vibrational energy into a human body, allowing the human to sense their thoughts and ideas. Just as you are currently doing, providing both ends of the conversation allows you to understand and respond with your own ideas and comments. As long as you keep your mind clear and do not “think ahead” to any answers you want to produce, you will have an integrity and clarity about the guides’ side of the conversation.

When you get inklings of past connections, such as your husband’s having been your father in a past life, it is because there is some energy still active from that exchange, and if you dig into it, you will uncover an important fact about your lessons. Is it imperative that you do this? No, but you will learn something.

You bring to yourself those things you desire to experience. A delusion is something you totally make up, but you can also learn from delusions by working through the fears and doubts to better understand yourself and what they represent in your life. You may not have understood the actual experience you had, so you vary it slightly into a pattern, or delusion, which you understand and can work through. The whole purpose of incarnation is learning lessons.

ANSWER: Your acquaintance’s body is harboring several discarnate spirits within. He is consciously unaware of who and what he is at this time. He invited these spirits to join him in a period of loneliness as a child and they have been with him ever since. They will remain unless, and until, he un-invites them and tells them to take a hike. Since he is not aware of their existence this may not occur while he is in this body.

The sweet-faced child is part of his personality which has not evolved since the others joined with him. These beings have brought a lot of negativity with them and that influences not only your friend but also anyone who is in his presence. This is the reason that you feel physical discomforts when in his presence or after being with him for a period of time.

The spirits love to create havoc and will start fights and be insensitive and nasty to get reactions out of you. When you try your hardest to understand the situation, you are unconsciously saying “let me understand you” and that is opening the door for these same discarnates to attempt to connect to you. You perceive it as a clinging—and it is! Heed those warning flags and take off—unless you want to experience further effects of these unhappy negative souls.

ANSWER: Contracts are made with fellow souls as you are planning a physical life so you may be able to experience a life lesson in the duality of Earth. Only souls who are going to be in human form can trigger or set up the conditions for a life lesson. No contract is any more important than any other in providing knowledge for your soul.

Spiritual guides will not come telling you how great they are because of their connections or experiences. Beings of the light may only assist you when you have initiated the contact and asked for assistance. Then their position is to give advice only, since telling you of a previous agreement to do something in a particular way prevents you from learning your lesson. The major aspect of all lessons is to learn. You have to use your freedom of choice to complete the task.

This whole happening is a life lesson for you to figure out. You have to decide how the events feel to you and whether they resonate with you as being part of your reality. Each soul establishes the truth in its life that allows the revelations of its desired lessons. Watch that your wishes don’t blind you to the realities.

ANSWER: There is a cult following concerning the interpretation of the books attributed to the man known as Nostradamus. Historical archivists have proven that there are literally hundreds of different versions of the work supposedly written by him, each “translated” by a different individual. He used archaic French plus Latin, Greek, and many other languages and literary techniques. A large portion of his ten books of prophecy contained material previously found in the writings of other prophets of the time period. Because of this conglomeration of material, “interpretations” have to be made in order for them to be understood in the language of the present time.

As you point out, only after an event can a believer allegedly substantiate a prophecy by the interpretation they give to the prose from the selected translation. In his day, Nostradamus, who referred to himself as a physician even though he was thrown out of physician’s training for engaging in practices forbidden to medical personnel, claimed to treat people using astrology and other techniques. He was constantly called to task for misinterpretations from many experts in the various fields.

While Nostradamus was sincere in his work, he did not have the training necessary to be an expert. He took material for his writings from poets, scientists, and other seers of the time. He was not a spiritual seeker. His background was Judaism and Catholicism. He constantly thought he was going to be persecuted for his prognostications.

The followers of today who attribute accurate forecasts to him need to supply a different set of translations to each of his four-line verses. Even within the same page one is unable to apply the same constructive language to consecutive verses. To use these writings (whichever version you select) to forecast the future, you would have to infer that something will happen based upon something ongoing in the world. Then you would have to change the facts as time elapses, something that is occurring with today’s use of these writings.

ANSWER: It is possible to open a dialogue with souls that are stuck between the physical dimension and the comfort of Home where all souls reside. When you entered the graveyard you did so with a curiosity about what you could discover. You asked the universe, “What’s here?” and it showed you. You extended an invitation to the souls to make them self visible to you. This is a doorway between the dimensions.

We disagree that it is all nonsense; these souls are trying to get answers for their current state of affairs. Some are unaware that they have passed away and need to be helped to understand that they can go home. Those that have followed you are the ones that were bored hanging around the graves and used you to see something new. Some of these souls are just confused and mean no harm, and some are negative forces that wish to control and create fear.

The orbs are something different. They are the form that souls who are already at Home use to be seen on Earth. They have a very positive and loving energy. Some of them are trying to help the lost souls get Home. You have no obligation to have anything to do with these souls unless you desire.

You may start by telling them that they are uninvited from interacting with you. If you wish to help any of the souls you may direct them to find the light and follow it back Home. The negative souls just want energy from you and it would take some work to get them to move on.

White gold light, is the light of Home. You  may envision it as surrounding yourself and those around you. Negativity cannot pass through a strong shell of this light. You may also ask your personal guides to assist these lost souls on their voyage Home.

ANSWER: Your current apartment came with a trio of discarnate negative souls who have not moved on after their physical death. They are having their idea of fun with you. The one who committed suicide is trying to get you to do the same. The other two were an adulterous couple who were discovered and killed by the husband of the woman. They are playing out the last of their lives within your dreams.

Your husband is not a part of this at all. They have not attacked him because he sleeps too deeply and doesn’t remember his dreams. These are their fantasies, not actual fact. They are trying to see if they can get you to believe in the truth of their stories and take rash actions as a result. They feel this would help validate their lives.

Start sageing your house: use smudge sticks of sage and walk around the apartment, getting it into all the corners. Ghosts hate sage smoke. They also can’t stand candles—the light is too bright for them. When you go to sleep at night, ask your guides and the archangels, particularly Michael, to come and protect you and send the discarnates away.

When you feel their presence, or hear them, tell them to depart and that you no longer wish to have them in your home. You can express the same thought periodically throughout the day to let them know you are onto their games and don’t want to play. They need to move on—preferably into the light, but definitely away from you. Some of the negative energy sticks to you when you awaken after a particularly strenuous night. Shower or take a bath using a little bit of sea salt rubbed on your skin to break their connection.

ANSWER: You do a lot of astral projection and out-of-body travels. You just happened to pop in on some discarnates (souls that have left their bodies but have not gone Home) and overheard their plans. What they were talking about is the possession of a physical body both by the original soul and by a discarnate soul who enters and overpowers the consciousness of the owner.

First, let us be perfectly clear: A discarnate cannot enter into a soul’s body unless it is invited into the body in some fashion. It doesn’t have to be a formal invitation. The person can be despondent or drunk and say something like it would be nice to have a lover or companion and BAM! the wandering soul steps in. If the recipient is a weak-willed person and the inhabitor is stronger, he will take over the personality of the body, imprisoning the consciousness so that it no longer makes decisions for its own body.

We are talking only of the physical consciousness of the body; we are not talking about an imprisonment of the soul. This is a lesson for the soul to learn how to extricate itself from the situation it started. With effort, the soul may affect the consciousness enough to involve another party who can help it recognize what is happening and tell the discarnate it is no longer welcome within the host body.

You can prevent such an occurrence by watching what you give permission for and by shying away from the use of such things as Ouija boards, where you are inviting anything drifting around to come and play with you. Every morning when you awake, if you ask your guides and the universe to allow only beings of the light and those coming to you for the highest and greatest good to interact with you, you are protected from darkness.

Coma patients are trapped within the body without a means of expression but very rarely ever have a possessor present because it would also be trapped.

Energy vampires that drain one of energy don’t have to be non-physical or discarnate. Any soul that is negative has the ability to pull energy from your physical being if you have not protected yourself as described above. It is almost impossible for it to drain enough energy to have your body cease functioning, but it can make you susceptible to illness. One who cares for very ill or dying people has to watch that the sick do not drain energy to try to heal themselves instead of moving on. In these cases, the soul is not affected at all.

ANSWER: You are not different from any other soul-you are different from the souls so deeply embedded in their human life that they have cut all ties to their essence. They have not maintained any contact whatsoever with the non-physical side of existence. They cannot see, hear, or feel spirit energy. You, on the other hand, are open to all the energy.

What you are recording is the connection between yourself and the spirits. The eyes represent the pathway to the soul contained within a physical body. Some of those whom you have drawn are soul mates who are currently at Home; others are guides and friends who wish to say hello.

They find it easier to come to you at school and church because of your openness at both of those times. When you are in a learning or communicating mode you take off all the protections you have around yourself at other times. You feel there is nothing to fear at either place. You will be able to have them consciously near you at other times if you take down the defenses.

Your sense of a connection to sacred geometry is right on as well. Sacred geometry is one of the means of communication between individual energies when in non-physical form. What you sensed was little snippets of conversation occurring between souls.

If you wish to understand a bit of what is going on you must learn the language being used. As with any other language, practice makes perfect. Enjoy!

ANSWER: People can only see what they allow themselves to see, and feel what they open themselves to interact with. You may have an elephant standing in front of you, but if you deny that the animal can possibly be there, you will not be able to see it because it is not part of the illusion you have created for your reality.

If someone is being attacked by invisible negative energies but you do not admit such exists in your illusionary world, you will not see or feel their presence. That is the situation with some of the healers you have approached. Since they have never been attacked in the manner in which you have been, they cannot imagine such an occurrence. Since they can’t imagine it, they are also unable to feel it because it is an impossibility to them.

You are becoming a very strong lightworker. Dark forces of negativity like to feed on bright positive energy and so come visiting for a snack. They do exist, so you are not trapped in an illusion. (Of course, it is possible to create an illusionary reality in which beings of your imagination are assaulting you, and until you give up their existence you are unable to get rid of them and they share your cell. But this is not the case here.)

Since these really are in your illusion of life, you have to find ways to alter your illusion to speed them on their journey. One way is showering these negative forces with positive love energy. When you sense them, the first thing you feel is fear, and  that is adding to the negativity. When you begin to sense their presence, thank them for giving you the opportunity to feel such negative forces, and then send them love for following the path they have chosen even though it is the opposite of your Earth destination.

ANSWER: Each soul has chosen its own pathway in its incarnation. You have made contracts with a number of souls to help you learn the lessons that you chose for this lifetime. When you all entered into your bodies you did so with amnesia as to the desired experiences for this life.

Sometimes, during the process of fulfilling your plans, you remember some of the details. This may occur on occasion when you see the body of the soul with whom you made the contract. Energetically you may sense a need to confer about your life with someone who thinks you are crazy because they do not have the memory that has now become available to you.

Just as you cannot get people to change their mind unless they are willing to be open to your ideas, it is impossible to get them to even listen to you if they are not so inclined. Souls progress through their lessons at different rates of speed, so even if others started at the same time as you, they may not have matched your advancement and learning pace.

If you cannot get the physical vessel to respond to your urging to confer, send a message through your thoughts to the other’s higher self explaining the situation and what you are attempting to accomplish. The higher self may be able to notify the person’s conscious mind that you are making an attempt to complete a contract, but don’t be surprised if the conscious mind ignores its own unconscious mind as well.

If after making all attempts you are unsuccessful, just let the matter drop. The energy is in the air. When-and if-the other is ready to talk, that soul will know where to reach you.

ANSWER: There are only two kinds of energy within the physical realm: positive and negative. The nonphysical universe is composed of only one: Source’s unconditionally loving positive energy. Terminology within the metaphysical community creates more problems than it solves or explains.

In some circles, if you are talking about nonphysical energy from Source, you refer to it as Universal Life Force Energy, and if you are referring to the energy that can affect the human physical body, it is called life force energy. But all energy originates from Source. When it comes to Reiki and other energy-based practices, they all employ the same Universal Life Force or Source energy.

The symbols associated with Reiki are focusing points and, therefore, only as powerful as the practitioner believes. Energy is intention-driven, and therefore your thought process directs the use and effectiveness of the energy. The flow may be started by invoking the symbols or by your intention alone.

The initiations allow a student who has never felt the energy flow before to see what it feels like. If you have never tried to ski before, getting on the skis lets you adjust your mindset, balance, and enthusiasm to move forward. The initiation accomplishes the same thing. Once felt, knowledge of the intensity and direction of the universal life force energy is possible to control.

Any soul who has performed energy balancing on another – i.e., healing – has utilized universal life force energy or unconditional love. Healers have many practices in which they can specialize – Reiki, Healing Touch, Therapeutic Touch, and Quantum Healing, to mention just a few. An additional intention-healing branch is that of the various practices stemming from religion-based faith healing. Each and every one of these owes any success to Source energy.

Healing, balancing, corrective therapy all are dependent on two things: the intention of the practitioner and the faith and confidence of the patient. If either party does not partake with an intention that balance be obtained, nothing will happen. What definitely will not happen from the use of this energy is a worsening of the client’s condition. Reiki cannot do harm, nor can any other process that is life force energy.

ANSWER: You are a very sensitive individual and pick up more from other people than most. You did not have a lifetime at the Park during the war, but you did spend time there when it was under different ownership. You were the main groundskeeper in the early 1800s and identified with the energy of the land. Many of the buildings installed to make room for the war effort cut through energy paths that had made the land so productive.

In addition to the basic energy flow, you also picked up on the residual signatures of the workers at Bletchley. Security was incredibly strict, and everyone always examined anything that was said to them to see if the speaker might have an ulterior motive in their question. No one was supposed to discuss anything they were doing – even to their co-workers – when not at their assigned place. No talk even on breaks, at lunch, or in the lavatory.

The pressure to produce, whether it was in correctly decoding messages or working on the enigma machine, put everyone on edge, and they constantly questioned if they could do more. The ups and downs of the battles made them feel as if defeats were their fault because they had failed to solve the coded messages. Many of the serious workers had breakdowns due to the constant long hours and lack of progress.

The number of family, friends, and neighbors who lost their lives during the conflicts took a toll. They were well informed of the exact number of casualties because of the reports the various military units kept. Some of the souls of the departed came to the Park to try to instill a sense of urgency and to see if they could assist. A few still remain.

The first blast of energy you felt was a combination of all these activities from that time. It was the intensity of the happenings that impacted you on a spiritual and cellular level. Once you became acclimated to this intensity, you were able to lessen the effect it had upon you. None if it was your imagination.

ANSWER: Earth has an equal amount of positive and negative energy. Some of what you are sensing is just negative energy carried by those having a life lesson. It is natural to feel a fair amount around those who are not on a spiritual path because they don’t realize they can choose to shun negativity and embrace positive feelings.

Earth’s inhabitants see negativity as the default setting of their life. People will tell you what is wrong with their life and then others will step in and try to “outdo” those bad experiences with some of their own. When clients come to you, they are usually there to get rid of something that is bothering them – their negativity.

You are sensitive to the degree of positivity a person can have when the body is in perfect balance. Anything out of balance, or negative, is immediately apparent to you. These are the “bad energies” that you feel but do not fear.

You are correct that there are negative entities, those who have finished their human existence but have chosen not to return to unconditional love. They will try to grab positive energy from others and will suck life-force energy from whoever allows them to do so. Those who cannot distinguish positive from negative sometimes succumb to these energy vampires. They can be very scary if you do not recognize them and send them away.

These discarnates may just accompany a client, or they may have attached to the person like a leach. Cover yourself with white light when you sense one of these and ask your guides and Archangel Michael to come and help it detach and move on. Of course, the client must be willing to let it go. Some people feel these entities are being friendly and giving them love in exchange for their life force. Your insight allows you to detect them and help others to get free of them.

ANSWER: You chose a number of lessons of which you have become completely aware – mainly addictions, abandonment, lack of control, energy intensification (empathy), and self-love issues. You have not particularly worked with any of these issues, with the exception of self-love, in the past.

You chose to come into an arena where you could see addiction first hand and then decide if it was a means for you to alter your life, or if you would just be an observer who would watch and attempt to assist loved ones who did not have your strength to resist.

You have “floated” over this sea of trauma, giving advice, sympathy, and a helping hand where possible. With each person, you have “picked up” on their fears and addictions and tried to mitigate them. This has taught you that no soul has the ability to control the decisions of another unless that person participates in selecting the choices. You have doubled your own heartache by both seeing and feeling the depression in which these people have allowed themselves to engage.

With your sensitivity, you are able to sense that you have been abandoned on your path to spiritual awareness, and that these souls have no desire to take your advice or accompany you on this fantastic journey. This makes you feel as if you have failed, but that is not so. You have remained faithful to yourself and the love you have for the work you have been doing.

It is time to realize that the decisions made by others are not going to change in the near future, if ever. To enrich your life at this point, you need to separate yourself from their negativity. That doesn’t mean you have to abandon them, but just protect yourself from their negativity by surrounding yourself with the unconditional love of your own Source energy.

Congratulate yourself on the fact that you have accomplished the lessons you came to learn, and watch the rest of the action from within a cocoon of love. Project it out to those you have sought to help so that they might find the answers to their own self-love.

ANSWER: Something big is coming for you—you are about to be buried under an avalanche of expectations from all your big plans. You are expecting that somebody outside of your skin needs to tell you what to do. You can find a lot of people, particularly for a price, who will tell you what to do. You have consulted a number of these and have heard those WOWs, fantastic things you want to hear about yourself. But someone saying something, and you liking it, does not make it so.

This life is all about freedom of choice and each soul finding its way through lessons by taking responsibility for itself and moving into an understanding by doing. If you want to be told exactly what to do, join the military or an organization that has all kinds of rules and regulations. It won’t help you learn about your life but it should make you happy that you don’t have to make the decisions.

You have a lot of connections to the non-physical world but you just shrug your shoulders and say so what? You hear a regular dialogue, but because you don’t know who it is you ignore it instead of listening and learning. You would rather run off to a class where someone will tell you how they found a way to talk to their guides—a way that may not work for you. If you took the time to establish a communication, you might have a WOW for all the information these guides of yours can pass on to you for the asking. Right now, this minute! Just take the time to stop what you are doing, clear your mind, and listen.

If by “you people” you mean the non-physical universe, what they want is for you to ask for their assistance so they may provide you with information to enable you to make the choices necessary to learn. To learn in this journey, you don’t follow; you get general directions of all the possible routes and then you use your own freedom of choice to choose the way.

ANSWER:  You are thinking too much. All energy work needs to be done through the heart with the essential energy from the soul. The purpose of entering into a deep meditative or hypnotic trance is to leave the judgment of the conscious mind behind to enter and use the unconditional love of the unconscious or higher mind.

The conscious mind is connected to the body and the ego. The unconscious mind is a part of the body when you choose, but always has a part of itself in the nonphysical unconditional love of Source. To use it, there is no need for it to exit the body because it is already outside. To use the higher unconscious mind you merely need to “feel” what it is you want to do.

If you consciously switch back and forth to use your judgmental mind, you are leaving the realm of spirits and then trying to get back there to do some work. When “clearing” or “scanning” yourself, put out the intention before you enter your hypnotic state that you wish to see/speak to any spirits who are connected to you or affecting you. You will be able to communicate with them without having to withdraw from the hypnotic state.

Not every spirit who is clinging to the physical is ready to go into the light. Your purpose is to remove its influence from yourself or the client. You cannot convince another soul of something it is not ready to accept. Offer to get healing angels for it, but if it resists, suggest it needs to move where it is wanted because you revoke your permission for it to stay—it may be someplace where darkness is welcomed.

Once soul energy leaves the physical body, it can take any shape or inhabit any physical thing, including articles of clothing, furniture, or natural items. An easy thing to do is to scan for the feeling of negativity. All discarnate souls or spirits choosing to hang around need negativity to exist in or near the physical plane. Bathe the area in positive love energy and they will stand out from the background.

ANSWER: One of your most important lessons in this lifetime is that of discernment: being able to examine what is being presented to you and determine whether or not it is true within your spiritual journey and should be embraced.

One of the potential dangers in working with spirit guides is becoming complacent about your contact with them so that you forget to put up protection to keep other entities from interceding. The spirit with whom you worked for so long was of the light and never meant any harm to you. During one of your sessions, another discarnate soul came along and joined your conversation since nothing was in place to block its intervention. It was that spirit who destabilized you, not the one with whom you had spent so much time. This negativity was what was so difficult to remove.

The group you are currently working with are all of the light and want to strengthen you and help you along your path. It is still vital that, before beginning any session with any nonphysical entities, you protect yourself with an incantation that you will open to and communicate with only those who come forth for the highest and greatest good of your soul.

The flower essence will continue to help strengthen your clarity and conductivity. As you begin any meeting, and during it as well, periodically reach out and make sure the information coming through to you resonates with your soul. If you feel any disruption in your body – scratching, irritation, or an instability – immediately end the gathering and, while cleansing out their energy, bring in your healing vibrations.

Trust is not something that comes automatically. Test all situations by examining the information provided with your past experiences. Start small – don’t let anyone try to overwhelm you with too much information at one time so that you are not vigilant.

ANSWER: You are not being tied to this man and your memories by a spiritual connection other than the learning you have shared between you. Once you have experienced something you can not undo it at will. How prominent it becomes in your daily life is completely up to you.

You shared something so intense that until you replace it with something else, it is going to take over your consciousness. While you did call off your intimate relationship, you are too drawn to him to cut off all contact. You still have him on a pedestal as the one who permitted you to see some things you needed and could not observe alone.

The things that your time together allowed you to figure out about yourself have made him an important part of your life. But, as we always say, each soul creates the reality they want to live. When you have realizations front and center in your mind, they are like beliefs and take a prominent place in your thinking until you decide to replace them with something that is more important or necessary in your life at that time.

Romance has always been vital in your life and he provided a stable – for a while – access to it. Finding another who will love you as he did and share with you their hopes and dreams, which he never completely was able to, will erase his insistent energy from your mind.

An energy cord is much more than this physical bonding you had with him. A spiritual connection begins on the Other Side before you even come to Earth. You did not make any specific agreements with this soul before coming. He was just available to you when you needed him to be.

To begin the process of creating a new environment, you can start with a visualization of an ideal world containing all the factors you still wish to explore. Bring them in one at a time until you have your world and he is written out of it.

ANSWER: Numbers, both written and spoken, create vibrations. All energy is vibrational. Healing, or balancing, energy is conveyed on vibrational waves. You may use numbers, colors, geometric shapes, crystals, or sound vibrations to help alter, correct, or restore out-of-balance parts of the physical body.

Communications occur between souls, such as angels or humans, via vibrations of one sort or another. They may also be used to create a variation in the internal harmony of physical flesh. Non-physical souls do not have the ability to talk as humans because they do not have bodies. They therefore use vibrational means of “talking” to others.

[There have been some interesting studies using numbers done in Russia by Grigori Grabovoi. Amazon has several of his “number” books. —Editor]

ANSWER: Your guides are not there to lead the way in your life; they are merely advisors like those people in school who tell you all the possibilities but don’t make the decisions for you. Any spirit with whom you communicate, if it is of the Light – in other words, exists in the unconditional love of Home – will not interfere in your life unless or until asked.

When a human first acknowledges their guides, the guides think that is an open invitation to speak their mind and give their opinion in all circumstances. As you aged, you expressed frustration with what you perceived as constant intrusion in your decision making. At that time, you told the guides to “take a hike” and stop interfering unless you were in a situation where you needed immediate assistance and did not realize the danger of the moment. They complied.

This is the normal interaction between spirit guides from the unconditional love of Home and souls having a human experience. It is not the case with spirits who attempt to influence your decisions, who are not of the Light but are discarnate souls who have left their human bodies and for some reason decided not to return to unconditional love.

Discarnate spirits have no rules when it comes to trying to influence you. If a person is unfortunate enough to inadvertently invite one to interact with them, they take full advantage and try to “highjack” the body for their own uses.

In that situation, it is imperative that the human take action to withdraw the permission that had been given. Building up a store of unconditional positive love energy, with the admonishment that the discarnate is no longer welcome and is being asked to leave, repeated three times, will generally do the trick. Burning sage incense, which discarnates cannot stand, will also help. They also don’t like lighted candles. Your own guides, or archangels such as Michael, can also assist in the removal.

ANSWER: You are stuck in a need to explain the unexplainable. It is impossible to describe the spiritual realm using only the concepts of the physical phenomena demonstrated within the duality of planet Earth. It is said within the scientific community that it is possible to substantiate whatever ideas you have from somewhere within the vast network of workable theories. But those theories rely on physical factors, not nonphysical, unreproducible exercises.

The soul, which you have doing various steps in your theory, is not a self-contained entity. The soul is amorphous energy that wills itself to be wherever it chooses to be. It can be in front of you one minute, disappear, and be in Siberia the next. Or it can split itself into particles and be present in multiple locations simultaneously. It is sentient with an unending intellectual aspect, which the photons and electrons you speak of are not.

Every soul has total freedom of choice, so when and how they choose to animate their chosen body is up to them. Some souls enter the body shortly after conception and some just immediately prior to coming through the birth canal. They slide into, or merely appear within, the organs of the body that need to function in order for the body to be viable.

Chakras are an expansion of the soul’s energy reaching out to the nonphysical world to maintain contact. The kundalini is aligned alongside the spine; the chakras are positioned in places to aid various bodily systems such as heart, throat, solar plexus, etc.

Another energy field around a body, where a soul is in residence, is the Merkaba or light body. It consists of two counter-rotating tetrahedrons. These are controlled via intention during meditation and, when fully activated, can be used as a vehicle to travel between dimensions. Some people use them as a means of ascension.

What you believe is what creates your reality. You have total freedom of choice – so go with what beliefs resonate with you the most at any one time, and don’t be afraid to change them when they no longer serve you.

ANSWER: Let us understand your dilemma: you have just manifested exactly what you want, and because of the timing you are going to blow off your perfect job? This shift in consciousness didn’t include getting out of your own way by leaving judgment behind. You are in a layer of vibration where your intuition will allow you to have the universe assist you with your needs. Allow it to do just that.

Go with the flow. Continue to manifest and take advantage of what you bring to yourself. Have faith in yourself that you will be all right without having to rely on the judgments society makes about security. Security is an illusion, because anything physical can be gone in a moment and you can’t take any of it into the next dimension.

Part of this next phase is to believe in your feelings. Get out of your head, which is populated by society’s ideals, and get into your heart, which is your true essence. Ask always, what do I feel about this? Not, what do I think about this?

Bringing in doubt brings in negativity and sabotages the intention you put into your manifestation. Whenever you sense doubt, fear, or a negative statement, immediately stop what you are doing. Go to that thought and tear it apart down to the point of origin, and then see that you do not need this interference in your life. Use your new abilities to move forward in a smooth fashion.

ANSWER: While in your deep meditative state, created by your chanting, you entered into an area between dimensions. This is possible to do any time that you free yourself from conscious concentration on the third-dimensional physicality and open completely to the universal energy around you.

In this place, you begin to be able to see the soul energy of those near you. What this does is allow you to tap into their akashic records, seeing some of the lives they have led. This can be very useful in everyday life if you wish to see the strongest energies carried by the person to whom you are talking.

By strongest energies we mean those characteristics which they have brought forth to continue working on from past lives. These traits may permit you to see that they are not being honest in what they are saying or that they have the truth and integrity of a sainted person.

What you observed goes by many names, but transfiguration, morphing, or seeing another’s soul are probably the most commonly used terms. This occurrence came into your life so that you would be aware of how far physical sight is able to penetrate into the spiritual realm.

When you share a space with another human, ask their soul: “Who are you really?” and you will see their soul reveal other aspects of their existence. You can do this intentionally by staring into the eyes of a partner in a dimly lit space while holding off your blinking process as long as possible. This teaches your eyes to go beyond their regular space and reach into the peripheral dimensions.

You can also get more conscious information about your own previous lives by staring into a mirror in dim light, searching your own eyes. Either practice, pair or single, may show you an entire scene out of your past with clothing, background, and even events. The more you can attain that meditative state which allowed you this first glimpse, the easier it will be.

ANSWER: There are two souls within your friend because she allowed a discarnate soul, someone who died but did not wish to go back to unconditional love, to enter into her during a time of loneliness. Another soul can become a part of you only with your permission. Most of the time the receiver is unaware of what they are doing. Almost all discarnates are composed of negative energy that cannot stand  positive, loving energy.

It can happen like this: A wandering soul wants to have access to a body so it starts talking to a person, saying how lonely it is and how much better it would feel if they let this bodiless soul share their body. The live person wants companionship so they consent. Once inside, the discarnate then tries to take over its host. This is why your friend does not like her hitchhiker; she feels her control over her own body being eroded.

The host has the ability to get rid of the intruder but it can sometimes require assistance. This entity senses that it is about to get sent packing, so it is working on you to get you to let it change ships. It is being extremely nice to you now, just like it did with your friend, because it wants your permission to take it on. If you permit this transfer, you will then be greeted with a totally different personality from the one you perceive right now.

All experiences one has while in the duality of Earth are for the purpose of learning, so nothing is right or wrong. You are being courted and played by this being. It is aware of all your insecurities and your need to be needed. It feels you would be very easy to control and then it could use your body for its own diversions.

If you so desperately want a relationship, this one will not be fulfilling. Look to another human. You bring to yourself what you need to experience, and this is a test to see how serious you are in working to find love. The choices are yours.

ANSWER: Your shop has some negative energies that are hanging around the discarnate soul who is calling your place “home.” This soul, a lady, is not ready to move on yet. She is very sensitive and feels that you would not understand her, so she has not made any effort to be seen by you; in other words, you scare her. Strange, you say, that a ghost can be scared by a human? Not so; when the departed do not know or accept they are deceased, they will stay away from strong energies out of fear.

When people die and their souls do not go back to the unconditional love that we call Home, holding themselves here causes negative energy. Negativity attracts additional negativity. In your spa, your clients bring in a lot of negative energy that is causing them problems they seek to have you remove. That energy is then staying around instead of dissipating.

The first step is to chase away the negative energy. This can be done with candles, incense, or sage. Negative energy flees from the flames and the smell. Also have your practitioners consciously shake off the energies they receive from their clients so they do not spread it around. If they are feeling “heavy,” suggest they take a salt bath or shower to remove the residue.

Second is to get your occupant to move on. She died in the vicinity of your spa many years ago. It occurred during a storm when her house was struck by lightning and burned down. Her child was trapped inside with her and died as well. The child moved on, but she is still looking for her.

If you (or someone you know) can speak to the deceased, talk to the lady and convince her she is dead. You may call for her daughter to come from the other side to prove that she is all right, then she can accompany her mother Home. Once she has gone into the light there will be no more doors slamming or visions of her wandering. She does not mean to harm or frighten anyone.

ANSWER: Color is all around you in the energy vibrations comprising the atmosphere. Think of the rainbows formed with the last of the moisture in the air as the sun comes back out after a storm, or the colors visible from imperfections in glass, or the patterns given off by crystals when light passes through them.

Many energy healers will tell you they can see various colors contained in their clients’ bodies indicating where disease or blockages exist. Each one of the seven major energy chakras in the body has its own color, which it gives off and to which it resonates. It is also possible to see the color of the energy that a healer uses or sends to a client.

Kirlian photography can capture the colors around a person, which will change based on the person’s feelings at the time the photo is taken. These auras can be seen by the human eye – try looking just slightly off focus at your subject. You can ask the person to feel anger, then love, and you will be able to see the colors change with the change in mood.

What you are doing is creating what many call energy balls. These are manifested by using your intention to manipulate the unconditional love or universal life force energy present around you.

The honeycomb pattern is sacred geometry, which is another means of communication. You can get a complete history of existence from the pattern called the flower of life. As you concentrate more on working with energy, you will see it more easily. Energy calls to energy, so when you use it for some purpose, more is drawn to the area.

Being calm and relaxed allows the vibrations to settle and form seeable masses. When you are active, it is like trying to look into the surface of water and having it disturbed, so nothing is clear.

ANSWER: Science, physics in particular, describes where all human beings can be located in terms of three spatial coordinates (length, width, and depth) and one temporal coordinate (time). Many call this the space-time continuum. It is shared with other interested participants as a mathematical model or equation and referred to as a four-dimensional continuum. The point measured is called the event or location of the subject.

As you can see, everything that has just been discussed is physical, but much more affects souls than just the “event” in which their body is engaged. An aware soul having that human experience may also be in connection with its nonphysical, amorphous, soul essence. Wherever the soul places its focus is what the human mind becomes conscious of, whether it is occurring in the presence of their current physical body or is something about which they have wisdom in another “time” or experience.

In your case, you were out shopping, but for a moment your whole consciousness thought about your children and what they were doing. You psychically called out to their souls and they heard your call. No one else in the physical world would have been aware of this message transmitted through the ether. It also would not be able to be tracked by mathematical methods since it occurred outside of any physical dimension.

Lives are not all parallel as they have a beginning, middle, and end. Some are short, and some are long. They are like movies that may be playing simultaneously but each has its own story and doesn’t interfere with another. While most of these lives are independent of others, a few are a continuing story or sequel to another, such as a life that is undertaken to work out an incomplete lesson from a different life.

When a sequel occurs, and the lesson gets completed or understood, it severs the ties to the creating life but doesn’t change the facts concerning the actions that carried over. All these concepts are confused by your limited Earth knowledge, which has not experienced these things and therefore cannot consider them when trying to explain the results of their use.

ANSWER: Your experiences have a mixture of causes. You do have a very active imagination. You also have an extensive connection with nonphysical beings from all of your spiritual work, and they come calling since they know you can see and hear them. Not all of the energy you have encountered is of the dark or negative variety.

People come to you if they are being bothered by discarnates because they feel you can help move the stragglers along. During your search for your essence, and what powers and abilities you possess, you have cleared out most of your own darkness and shine brightly. This makes you like a light to a moth.

While your body needs rest, your soul does not, so it goes traveling. The voices you hear are originating from the destinations where you are heading, and most of these are friends and acquaintances. The negative beings who approach you are seeking to be energized by your energy.

It is important when you are being approached by negativity, and when helping to clear discarnates, that you protect yourself with white light. This may be done using your intention and by asking beings of the light to assist you in covering yourself with unconditional love. Negativity cannot penetrate love. You could also visualize yourself being covered by white light or a rainbow of light from a waterfall. Some people see a cocoon of protection impenetrable by negativity.

The nonphysicals who name themselves are doing it for one of two reasons. They want you to have sympathy for them and identify with their plight so that you will allow them to feed off your energy, or they are members of your soul group or other associates who wish to establish a dialogue with you.

Test the feel of these contacts to see if they resonate with you or give you an abrasive sensation. You may also ask them why they are there and see how their answers resonate with your physical self. Since you have freedom of choice, you may also shut off all of these contacts by intending they go away. You can also put up a visual brick wall to block them.

ANSWER: We will attempt to fulfill your wish, but it is very difficult since we will be explaining a concept in words that do not adequately describe the situation. A soul is energy. Wherever it focuses its conscious energy from within a physical body, that is where it believes it is existing. In point of fact, the soul is not physical but energetic and must hold itself consciously in a physical form, or it can drift to any other place it chooses. The different focuses may be called timelines or parallel dimensions.

An example of this phenomenon is the awareness physical people are able to connect with while under hypnosis during a past-life regression, while having an out-of-body experience, or during a psychotic break in which they become aware of various lives they have had while still conscious. When you are living a life, you are creating the illusion you wish to have to complete your experiences, and this illusion becomes your reality.

All knowledge that a soul has experienced, from the current life or any other, is contained in its memory. If you think of this memory as a compact disc, all your knowledge is there, but you determine which particular single experience you want to bring forward into consciousness by “reading” just that section of the disc. While you are concentrating on the moment, every other experience is all still there, just not in your awareness.

You have been many different people in the past. You have lived entire lives and tiny facets of a life upon which you wished to concentrate. It is all in your memory, on your disc—or as we say, part of your akashic record.

Alexandra from Romania asks: “how do I activate my Merkabah?” This was asked five years ago and our answer was quite comprehensive so we choose to repeat it.

ANSWER: The merkabah or lightbody has been a part of your history since recorded time. Religions see it as the chariot that carries the person to heaven. Mysticism proclaims it the vehicle to ascend from the physical third dimension into higher realms of existence. We associate the terms with the essence of who each of you is as a soul—your Source energy.

Your question then becomes something like: is it possible for me to recognize who I truly am without following someone else’s path, e.g., by taking a course with someone else’s method of recalling who they are? The answer is yes! Interestingly enough, a soul’s purpose for having a human life is to try to remember who they are and what abilities they have in their essential state.

There are a number of methods for activating the lightbody or merkabah to assist in the enlightenment of the body. It may be done on a totally physical level. The energy that creates the vehicle is in the form of a star tetrahedron. This looks like two three-sided triangles with one pointing up and one pointing down. A flat presentation is what most call the Star of David.

In physicality there are three star tetrahedrons around the human body. When one is spun clockwise and another counterclockwise, an electromagnetic energy radiates outward looking similar to a spaceship. The innermost tetrahedron becomes the vessel allowing the human body to travel wherever it desires. Intention is the driving force—where you intend to go, you do.

In meditation, hypnosis, or self-hypnosis it is possible to access your energy or light body without having to involve the physical you. Your soul essence may travel without the encumbrance of the body and easily ascend and visit other dimensions. In all cases of “remembering” who and what you are and reconnecting with that knowledge, your intention is the driving force. “Think it and it shall be” is our motto.

Practice to perfect easy transition from one form to another is important. Your guides and all here will be more than happy to support you, but you must determine which is the best and most comfortable way for you. As in all things there is no one way to do things on Earth. The more you can let go of judging what you are trying to accomplish, the easier it will become.

ANSWER: For some time, you have had the ability to project yourself wherever you desire. Most of the time you go to places in which you have an interest and, if you remember the journey, just think that it was a dream. You are very sensitive to energy because you travel on energy waves. When your friend came Home, you felt her energy and her interest in those she left behind. It gave you a destination in your travels.

You were not being assisted by her but were, in fact, assisting her. She was not totally comfortable being able to project to different locations yet, so she put the idea in your head and went along with you.

Her son felt the presence of the two of you. She will be able to communicate with them shortly if they are open to receiving her energy. If you tell them that she is trying to contact them and that she can do it more easily when they are asleep, they can go to sleep with the intention of meeting her, and after a while it will happen.

If you are interested, you can use this ability to obtain answers to some of your own questions. If you want to see what can be done with this talent, read up a bit on remote viewing and astral projection. You can explore areas you wish to visit, go backward or forward in time, find things you have lost or misplaced – just about anything you desire.

The important thing if you wish to investigate this talent is to just let it flow. Have no specific expectations. Don’t put any pressure on yourself – just have fun with it. If you practice enough you will find you have a high degree of control in reaching your desired destinations.

Answer: For our readers who are not familiar with the procedure you are asking about we will provide a short background. Using hypnosis and other means of obtaining a deeply relaxed state, the practitioner asks you to access memories from the planning stages for your current and past lives. This state allows the human body to disconnect from its usual reliance upon the thinking process of the mind and connect with the subconscious and unconscious awareness of the soul. It is similar to a hypnotic past-life regression where you recall what happened to you during a different incarnation, but with LBL you are remembering the time before the physical life began.

You and a group of your soul mates are conducting an extensive study of the concept of both physical and energetic power. It includes the segments of power that you mentioned but also the way souls use their own powers in everyday situations. Do they allow others to tell them what to do? Or do they assert themselves and take responsibility for their own actions? How much of your life is using your freedom of choice to learn? And how much is just following the crowd? How can you determine or feel when another person is taking your power away from you? Or how does it feel when you take another’s power?

You are what is known as an older soul—a soul who has had hundreds of life experiences. You do not need to be led by the hand to resonate with inner wisdom that during this incarnation you are hearing for the first time from your historic files (akaishic records). Your succinctness is your shorthand to trigger memories just below the consciousness that will affirm and remind you of your path.

Most of the accounts you have read that have been detail-packed were coming to souls who haven’t had as much experience as you. They have needed a remedial course just to use the information that is forthcoming. Of the written records you have seen, some also include multiple sessions which were needed for the individual to bring out all the necessary information.

A. Dear Traveler, you are having a spontaneous past-life regression. You are popping back into a life you once lived. All souls incarnate into physical bodies hundreds of times so they can experience the various aspects of human life.

During these lifetimes, you have been many different ethnicities, experienced both sexes, and lived all over the planet. When you began your current incarnation you returned to Earth with amnesia of the wisdom you previously gained. In each new life there may come a point where you must re-experience something you had engaged in previously, to better understand what you are currently going through, or to complete some lesson that you did not finish in that former life.

When you return from your voyage, journal what you can recall of the experience. By comparing your entries over a period of time you will come to know exactly why this past life is drawing your attention now. You will find reasons for certain behaviors you adhere to in this life and know whether you need to change them or, alternatively, if they are a reward from your past. Enjoy your trips.

ANSWER: The experience you had is called a near-death experience or NDE. “Near death” because your physical body was still the primary location of your soul, but your conscious mind was outside your body communing with souls in the unconditional love of Home. During the time you were in this Source energy, you were guided and protected by one of your spiritual guides who helped you decide whether to return to Earth and your physical family or stay at home with the other souls.

At the time you began this particular lifetime, you had a two-pronged plan. The first aspect was to help your family and associates have the experience of losing or coming close to losing a small child. They could feel what guilt, abandonment, deep loss, and blame was like. Many conflicts occurred among them, and they had the opportunity to learn their lessons if they chose.

The second idea was that you might want to end this lifetime at that age and come Home to try something else. During the time you spent with your guide, she and others helped you examine just what would happen if you returned to Earth and what you could do if you chose to terminate this life. You reviewed other lives you had lived and talked about the many lessons you still wanted to explore. You chose to return.

Your fascination with death and the afterlife comes from your having spent that six months in the energy that you experience each time you leave a physical life and return to your essential form. You don’t remember everything that was discussed during that time because when you returned and tried to talk about it with others, they told you it was all a dream. If you visit that period under hypnosis or in deep meditation, you can recapture some of the particulars of the time.

If you are curious, search around to see if you have a chapter of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) near your home. If you have the ability to attend one of their meetings, you will meet a number of people who have had NDEs and will see that they have either very little memory or very specific memories of their time between dimensions.

ANSWER: Physical bodies have a requirement for a resting, restorative phase, but the soul needs no such time out. While the human aspects are sleeping, the soul does a number of things. Some of these ventures are merely revisiting companions from other lifetimes and experiences mostly taking place in other time or dimensional phases, and others are undertaking new adventures in which the soul takes a part of the current physical body along, or at least the consciousness.

When part of your current consciousness accompanies the traveling soul, this is known within many nationalities and metaphysical concepts as out-of-body experience, astral travel, astral projection, soul travel, and/or remote viewing. Your body may choose to take an active part in the journey, which results in a physical excursion, or may just “be there” as in a telepathic observance.

As with your dream state, such experiences are fleeting to your memory unless you prepare to catalogue the trips as part of your consciousness. At the very least, you need to remind yourself as you enter sleep, deep meditation, or self-hypnosis that you wish to remember what you are about to experience.

Practicing techniques such as remote viewing or astral travel from a semi-conscious state in meditation or self-hypnosis will give you more control and comfort in what occurs during sleep. You can have fantastic experiences once you reach a comfort level and begin to “direct” where your soul goes and in what it engages.

ANSWER: You were experiencing something called an Out-of-Body Experience, also sometimes called astral projection. The basic purpose of an OBE is to let your soul assist your conscious mind with remembering who you are when in your essential state—in connection with your energetic, unconditionally loving, formless condition, which allows you to sense and feel everything around you.

Planet Earth is a duality of negative and positive energies so that you perceive a weightiness or heaviness about it. As you move away from the pull of a solid form, you release the negativity and things become clearer. You are able to float around at will when out of your body.

Once you return, you are forced to fit into the body shell you chose to use for this lifetime. Within this body are sensing devices: nerves, olfactory, and other senses that come only with a body. It is akin to your science fiction in which aliens have to have machine bodies in order to interact on Earth.

But your body is much more than a covering; it allows for sensations to travel about the body and be interpreted by many receivers. Take, for instance, the sexual act. The parts involved have the physical experience, but you also feel the euphoria in the emotional makeup. Without a body, you would be on Earth locked in a contraption that only permitted you to look out but not take part in any activity.

You may all choose when to have your soul separate from its current body shell. The time and place are up to you. This was just the information that you needed for your journey at this particular time—nothing special. Every day, when you exercise your freedom of choice to move beyond a lesson obstacle or change direction to have new experiences, you are at a crossroad in this life.

ANSWER: Welcome to the feel of the universe! Energy is everything and everything is energy. All the energy outside of the physical is Source energy, existing in a realm of unconditional love. When a soul spends time out of its body, in its true state, it is surrounded by that unconditional love. There is absolutely no negativity here. No fear, darkness, nor even doubt!

Your physical senses were being exposed to the sensations of your essence. Normally, while between lives, you do not have a form (body), but it was feared you would freak out if your consciousness perceived you as a mass of energy without form. The transition from observer to participant was also calculated to ease you into that state. Another learning experience was that you live some lives in a gender other than your current one.

The entire exercise was to try to awaken a sense of the essence of self as you truly exist. This is still a lesson being played out, as you have not allowed yourself to accept the possibility that this was an actual experience and not just a dream. The soul is free to travel easily to any locale or dimension when the shell (body) is in a sleep—or even just a relaxed—state.

Allow yourself to return to that experience in a meditation, or just as you go to sleep or awaken. Embrace all of the energy around you. Reach out in that state for the other souls who are there. They are just part of the overall energy. Establish communication with them and learn about that state of being. You will definitely not regret the time you spend.

ANSWER: You and the clerk are from the same soul group so she was able to “feel” your energy when you entered the shop. You have experienced several lives together. Your lives have not always been pleasant and she is sensing some unpleasantness. She is not into her spiritual path too far so she doesn’t think about these possibilities. She is trying desperately to figure out why she has such an attraction to your energy.

Old and scruffy is just the covering you have at this time. In the past you have been attracted to each other. It is the inside, the soul, that defines who you are. In defining yourself in a particular way you begin to think about yourself in those terms even if no one else does. If you emulate your unconditionally loving soul, that is what others see, not the imperfect outer skin.

You do broadcast a powerful field, but then you have the energy of Source within. All can do it but few are unfettered enough by third-dimension ego to be able to. You need to ask why this bothers you so much. You also feel the similar energy within her but are afraid to acknowledge same.  Don’t be nervous about asking her what it is that she senses from you. If you are triggering some past fear, you are doing her a favor by bringing it to the surface so she may resolve this incomplete prior lesson.

With your knowledge you could approach the subject with a little subterfuge. “Hi, I can’t help but have the déjà vu sensation that we have met before; from your reaction to me I can see you are feeling something—can we talk about it?” The freedom of choice that is the standard in the universe allows you to do as suggested, forget it completely, or try to connect your feelings with her. The choice is yours.

ANSWER: You have had a very profound experience in which you traveled to a non-physical dimension to meet your singer. This is not an unusual happening as most souls travel out of their bodies at night while the physical aspects of themselves are rejuvenating. Rest assured that all souls maintain a firm contact with their body or it would cease to function.

What has occurred in your life is that his request has become an obsession that has begun to control your life. You wish this contact to be much more than fulfilling a request. The boxes themselves represent the sharing of love, beauty, and peace ideals his soul has asked you to carry on. You have been living in that positive environment and it has brought to you other people who are, or were, as connected to him or influenced by him as you have been.

For you this energy has not been enough. You want to believe that if he had remained longer in physical form, you would have had a life together. He left exactly when he had planned to leave, and therefore would not have been around to do the things with you that you have been imagining.

Embrace the connection with his soul, but do so with an open mind not influenced by your imagination or by physical needs and desires. Your lesson here is to live your life within the physical limits of a body, being truthful and accepting of day-to- day interactions with those in other bodies with whom you are sharing Earth space.

ANSWER: In sleep paralysis, a person awakens from sleep and, for a period of time, is unable to move their limbs while still having apparently no problems visually. There are a number of different causes, but rarely is it intervention from discarnates. Discarnates want people to be able to do something for them or at least accept their statements as true, so they normally intervene while people are awake, doing meditation, or seeking advice from others.

Most sleep paralysis is caused by some type of trigger. Most commonly this will be exhaustion such as that caused by little sleep or sleep deprivation, medications that affect the nerves or physiology of the body, or emotional or psychological conditions such as anxiety or overwhelming stress.

You need not worry because your experiences have been the result of overtaxing your physical body from little sleep, anxiety, and stress. When situations get to be too much for you, take a short nap, stretch your muscles, do deep breathing to calm the situation, or meditate.

Medical studies have shown that the incidence of paralysis mostly disappears with age or when lifestyle changes are instituted. One such change can be switching from sleeping on your back to your side or stomach. If you have an episode, calming yourself until you relax will prevent any fear.

There is another phenomenon that mimics sleep paralysis, and that is when the soul has been out traveling during the body’s rest cycle and is slightly delayed in totally integrating with the physical while the person is awakening. Again, waiting calmly will prevent panic.

ANSWER:  The human body is the temporary housing of your magnificent soul. The body needs to have rest and regeneration, but the soul is eternally energetic. When the body goes into periods of rest, the soul does not stick around inside—it goes visiting. It maintains a connection with its current body at all times. The body’s awareness is what the human mind perceives at the moment.

When a soul fully re-enters its body, there can be a period when the conscious awakens before sufficient soul energy has come back to allow the body to be reanimated. During this transition, the conscious awareness may be in between the physical realm of the third dimension where it is living a life and another dimension where the soul had been spending time while the body slept or meditated.

Occasionally, there is not a complete closing of the dimensions when the conscious mind becomes aware of “another place.” When that happens, the ability to hear other souls in that place remains even after a complete reintegration of body and soul. You are bridging the gap between the physical dimension of your body and the places your soul visits.

You have complete control over your participation. If you feel uncomfortable in this dual existence, send the message to the universe to shut it down. If you wish to understand and participate more fully, ask for the assistance of your guides. When you go into a rest phase, do so with your intentions for remembering and participation very clearly in your head. Make your decisions and then enjoy adventure or quiet.

ANSWER: There are a number of things happening here. You have had out-of-body travels, but you are only remembering part of the experience because most of them are starting during a dream cycle. What you remember seems to be a short journey, yet the passage of time has been sufficient to enter the late morning or early afternoon.

The darkness is an indication of the fact that these travels are beginning during the nighttime hours. When an OBE begins within sleep, it is more difficult to direct yourself because your unconscious is in control at that time. To experience control over these trips, you need to begin within a meditation, just as you awaken or just as you start to fall asleep.

As to physical time/space, your body always remained in the time/space in which it began. The consciousness which allowed you to see other locations was partially within the physical, permitting your ability to see physical things, but not always in the same time in which you began the journey. This was the reason you became consciously aware again so far in the future.

Part of the time you were just experiencing dreams generated by your imagination, past experiences, and remembrance of things in which you always wished to be involved. The human mind carries on tasks from the day which can incorporate items you have read, programs or movies you have seen, or incidents in which you have taken part.

If you wish to experience OBEs, start with a quiet entry where you ease your awareness out of the constraints of your body into the space above. From there, allow your intention to direct your viewing to an area for observation. Don’t force the process or try to push the speed with which you separate from the physical. Not everyone can project themselves out of their body. But, practice does make perfect.

ANSWER: First, you are not witches. You are a group of very sensitive individuals who, through your connection and interaction, can “hear” the intense feelings others within the group are experiencing. Not only is your fiancé’s mother able to pick up on the strong emotions you are projecting, but she has them intensified by her son’s experiences as well. This is like a radio broadcast that doesn’t have a lot of power but is receivable by certain precisely tuned equipment. Your fiancé, when he is emotionally involved in a situation, intensifies further any energies that are around.

Your fiancé’s mother has been able to tune in to people before, but never under such intense situations. She thought she was guessing what someone was thinking, or that she had read their body language. Your emotions were so intense that she felt she was doing what she was feeling. This reaction is like a psychic attack, but it’s not really an attack, rather an interception of the energy.

Some people are natural receivers (picking up the thoughts of others) and some are better senders (projecting their thoughts and actions to others). You are a sender and she is a receiver. To make use of these abilities you need to practice. You can increase your reception ability with time. It is a useful way to stay in touch and to reach out to others. Only time will tell what benefits you will derive.

ANSWER: Attachments and demons are negative energy. All life lessons contain negative energy, so any contact with these beings provides lessons for the human. It is not the place of a spirit guide to interfere with the soul’s exposure to negativity. They may only assist in removing it when they are asked to do so by the soul. They make no independent plans for the person and do nothing without being requested.

In most cases the negative interplay is all part of the soul’s desire to learn while in a human body. When a client comes to you, they know they have something that needs to be addressed so they submit to the process. If they agree with the result, they can move on. If they don’t understand what has happened, they will unwittingly invite the negativity to return and continue to affect them.

The demons lurking in the past energy of another life are included in the client’s current life to reproduce what they dealt with in the past life but were unable to accept, understand, and learn from. If they now accept that they are not responsible for it and do not wish to retain it, they can go forward without keeping the demon. An example might be understanding that they do not have to feel guilty for surviving an accident when others did not.

Attachments are frequently a negative aspect the person has expressed an interest in and dabbled with exploring. The negativity sticks around until it is released by the soul or, as in your practice, with the assistance of guides and angels. If the fascination for that negativity has been satisfied, it will never be seen again. But the soul does have the ability to call it back for more experience.

ANSWER: To be aware to any degree of the energy around you, you have to be open to sensing it. Just as someone needs to be empathetic to another’s problems in order to understand where the person is at, you need to reach out to others and absorb their pain. Not everyone feels energy because, first, they don’t believe it exists; and second, they close themselves away from any connection to others.

People who walk through life unaware of anything but their own problems cannot sense at all—and that is the majority of society. Others, like you, want to experience everything that is possible in life, so you are totally open to everything that is going on in the world.

This was not a psychic attack against you but was exposure to massive amounts of negativity. Since you live your life in mostly positive thoughts and actions, this hit you like a blast out of a fire hose. It differed from your previous experiences since it was not a single discarnate soul drifting around with its negative energy but a sustained amount of gathered negativity.

Likes attract likes and sometimes stay stagnant in an area until something causes them to move on. Vortexes are swirling masses of energy that can be limited to a specific area or connected to a deeper source and continue to produce additional energy. What you encountered was an energy vortex of gathered negativity. It was rotating like a tornado and you were sucked into it. A large group of young people had spent time near this area where they were planning how to exact revenge against two people they thought had disrespected them.

When you are out and about in public areas it would be a good idea to cover yourself in protective white light so you are not so vulnerable to negativity.

ANSWER: As much as you yearn for contact with non-physical entities outside yourself, you fear and doubt their existence. The sphinx apparition was to show you that there is much more than the limited physical world and its third-dimensional plane, the solid stuff. You have needed a physical manifestation as validation in order to readily accept and believe that something exists.

You are so much more than you think. The first step to reach any of the results you seek is faith in your own powers. If you can accept that you have the abilities you seek—from making money, to communicating with spirits, to creating realities—you will find you in fact can do these things with little difficulty. The sphinx energy dropped by to let you get an appreciation for what you were missing by being so closed to your essential power.

Before anything else you need to banish negativity from your world. Anytime “I can’t do that” pops up, replace it with “I have the ability to do that.” You then need the five stages of inner knowledge we often cite; follow them to achieve your definition of success: accept, believe, know, do, become.

Your purpose in life is to learn and understand about the essence of yourself. Use these tools and you will get what you seek, both on this physical plane and on your spiritual life-lesson journey.

ANSWER: Being a bit judgmental aren’t you? How do you know that each of these souls isn’t partaking in a joint venture with a number of other souls including your own? Any soul who practices can learn astral travel to utilize lessons learned in previous lives, to assist in the learning of fellow journeyers within this duality, or even to enhance their own learning. The term “master” implies a soul who has spent many lives learning all the possible aspects of a particular human characteristic in order to be of assistance to those studying that trait in their Earthly experience.

How do you come to the conclusion that these studious souls are the enemies of humanity? Souls become a part of humanity to learn from the duality that exists on Earth. They come to see, understand, and gain wisdom from lessons chosen by themselves, and the only way they can learn such a positive lesson is by observing its negative opposite. This is created by their own pre-planning, not by some other soul who has gone before.

Souls are not physical, and therefore it is impossible for them to be integrated into physical machinery. Since souls are pieces of Source, they are eternal and cannot be destroyed. To “wipe” a soul’s memory or identity, you would have to change the composition of Source energy and everything that flows, or has flown, from that origin – including yourself.

All your ideas fit nicely into science fiction theorems but not into the journey of the soul accomplished through reincarnation. How would you feel if someone decided your ideas were dangerous, and that you should have your mind wiped of everything you have ever thought or experienced so that you would no longer be able to bother people with your attempts to dictate what other souls should learn?

ANSWER: There is a lot of unsubstantiated, incorrect information running around on the web. You can find all kinds of conspiracy theories and spoofs out there. People create their own realities, so if they believe something is true, to them, it is. Even if the sun is shining, if you think it is raining that becomes your truth, and if you go out you wear a raincoat. If you think your neighbor doesn’t like you, you avoid him even if he is the friendliest person in the world.

There are no other groups of souls in the universe who want to take over Earth and control it. Who would want such a messed-up duality? And how could one group of people exert control over such a diverse population when current occupants cannot even maintain control over their country and family members? Souls who have chosen to experience lives on other planets are doing so for reasons other than learning lessons about the nature of perfection. And no other planet exists as a duality.

Society loves to have fears because it gives them something to blame their failures on. If there is a boogeyman who is trying to take over the world, then you can excuse your selfishness because all your good work would be for naught.

Every soul comes to Earth to experience their own essence. You did not come to pit yourself against another soul, group of souls, or unknown planetary baddies. You came to learn about the lessons you chose because you felt you wanted to understand more about them.

Complete your journey before worrying about someone’s imagined extraterrestrials. Or not – because you have total freedom of choice and have no obligation to finish the work you came here to do. The choice is yours.

ANSWER: Your fears reflect your upbringing and the views of society, which have stuck with you both consciously and unconsciously. We call them belief systems. Most of the time you are unaware you are being affected by these rigid rules, even though they shape your life. Organized religions and society work on a basis of reward and punishment. If you don’t do what they tell you, you will be punished. In religion it is by going to hell. You start to fear death because you believe you will be judged by someone else’s requirements, so you feel the result is out of your hands.

Religions, and some societies too, feel that spirits are bad people who are caught in between Earth and hell, and should be avoided at all costs. You are threatened from an early age that the boogie man will get you if you are not good. You are told there are demons under your bed and in the closet—so go to bed and stay there. Is it any wonder that you have these fears?

To find peace, examine your fears. Take each thing, meditate upon it, and see what feelings come from inside of you. What do you associate with these thoughts? Then if you can put someone else’s face to the fear, give it back to that person and form your own opinions.

You are a soul who came from Source and returning there is called “going Home.” You don’t need to fear returning to Source, to your true essence. When you are between lives on Earth, you are in spirit form and wander around observing things. Don’t fear your fellow souls.

ANSWER: Negative attachments are discarnates who have passed out of their bodies but chosen for some reason not to go Home to the unconditional love. They need to influence a living person to be able to interact with the physical world. They will try to entice the human to allow them to enter their body, which they cannot do without some type of consent.

They will usually approach a person who is under the influence of some substance that lowers inhibitions. They will talk to them in their head and explain that they can be of assistance to the inebriated person if they are permitted to join with them. Another method of joining can be talking to them through a Ouija board. Once they are inside, it takes quite a bit of energy and will-power to get them out.

Another, less severe, negative attachment can come from contact with residual energy accumulated by a deceased person during their life. Someone who has spent their entire life in negative energy leaves a shadow of it when they go Home. This negativity is drawn to light and attaches to those who walk through it. This is easily removed using your intention to do so. You state your intention that it break up and return to the Earth.

There are also live people who are energy vampires. These are souls who crave positive energy and suck positivity out of a host, replacing it with negativity. To combat this, cover yourself with light to prevent further drainage and refill your unconditional love by drawing it from the universe.

If you sense that you might have an attachment, talk to your guides in meditation and ask them if there is one. If they reply in the affirmative, tell the attachment three times that you no longer permit it to be a part of you, and then ask your guides to help it return Home to the light.

Negativity also does not like open flames such as candles, incense, etc., and abhors the smell of burning sage. This will cause it to move on, if it is around, before it can affect you. To discourage vampires, surround yourself with love energy and ask your guides to help protect you.

ANSWER: When they first made contact with you, you decided that you would help these “poor” souls find their way Home. Unfortunately, what you were dealing with were souls who were remaining in the third dimension because they determined that they had unfinished business – mostly of a negative kind. What you provided for them was nice positive energy to keep moving forward. So they passed the word on and you became a rest stop and supply filling station.

Since they continually sucked energy from you, you were left only with the despair and negative energy they replaced for your positive energy. Some did finally move on because they finished up their business and heard you talk about going Home so much that they did. What you didn’t know was that you had to remove the doormat welcoming others to your world.

Enlist your guides to help set up a barrier around you preventing just any spirit from entering. Instead of praying to an outside source, understand that you have the power to control this situation. Your personal intention is the door key: don’t want company? Then lock the door.

Don’t think that all spirits are just lost – some intentionally want to stick around and suck energy from you. Just get out of the business of trying to assist wayward souls and your life will change for the better. If you still have a need to be of assistance, send unconditional love to all those who haven’t been able to find their way Home that they may understand the way Home.

ANSWER: The physical world that you currently inhabit is grounded on the basis of a duality: for all the positive energy there is an equal amount of negative energy. Most people are never aware of the sensation of a positive or negative force around them. As people begin to clear away their life lessons (experiences dealing with negativity), they become aware of positive energy, i.e., the absence of negativity.

Once a people have felt positive energy, they wish to increase the amount around them. Even if they have never realized the feel of positive energy they sense the lightness or shimmering of positive energy and want to embrace it. This energy is like a beacon that draws moths to its light-others cannot avoid its appeal.

When souls have newly completed their lessons and positive energy comes in, generally they are not able to sense when others come along and try to steal it; they are just aware that one moment they feel fine and the next they are exhausted. We call people who come along searching for and stealing positive energy, “energy vampires.”

It is possible to steal energy from souls only if they allow it to happen. The permission may be an open invitation to share or simply a thought of “I feel so great-can you feel it?” Any little hint that you don’t mind your energy being taken away is considered an invitation to come in and snack.

To prevent your providing “munchies” for other souls, you need the intention to  keep what is yours to yourself, unless you actually decide to share. All you need to do is to say to the Universe (that is to all energies everywhere) that you do not want to share your energy. You can also envision yourself protected by a barrier of white light, ask your guides to protect you, or simply say, “No sampling without my permission.”

ANSWER: You may call it sleep walking; we call it journeying while your body sleeps. The soul gets bored if it has to remain completely in your physical body while it is going through the necessary regeneration process (sleep). The solution for your soul is to maintain a minimal contact with the body to keep it alive and functioning and to go off and study other lessons and visit with friends.

If the consciousness of the body is aware during this process, it is called an out-of-body experience, or OBE. You rarely have these. Mostly your sensations are due to the fact that your body consciousness kicks in before your soul has completely re-integrated with your body. You retain a shadow of the spirits you have just been visiting as a prolonged retinal image in the physical part of you.

This is somewhat like an overlay of where you have been on top of where you are now. Think of stepping in front of a projector showing your vacation video on your body as you are doing the dishes or something in the present time. If you concentrate on your actions, you are in the kitchen. If your concentration is on the video, you are at the beach.

The only stress produced is your reaction to the event. These occurrences can do no physical harm to you. Relax, enjoy the videos, and see if you can remember who it is you are getting the last glimpse of as they fade away.

A. You are right to connect the current activities with your use of the Ouija board. The whole premise of using the board is that you want to communicate with non- physical entities. Any time that you indiscriminating invite energies into your presence, anything that is there may accept the invitation.

When most mediums establish contact with non-physicals they protect themselves and those with them by asking to make contact only with energies that will come forth for the highest and greatest good (known as “beings of the light”). With protection in place, discarnates (those souls who have left their physical bodies but have not crossed over to the spirit world) may not come on their own and may only answer questions directly put to them. They do not have carte blanche to come and stay.

When you, with no thought of whom you might be asking to come into your cabin, played around with the Ouija board, you attracted a group of spirits who have not gone home. They were having too much fun staying inebriated while still alive, so they choose not to leave. They identify with your fun times in the cabin and want to relive some of their exploits through you. They will remain around until they are asked, or helped, to leave.

The easiest way to get them to leave is to rescind the invitation unequivocally. Once invited, to uninvite, you must say so three times. Discarnates also do not like the smell of sage (used frequently by American Indians and others to clear unwanted spirits from locations). If none of these things work, try contacting a local channeler of medium to talk to them and find out why they are sticking around.

ANSWER: Your mother is still trying to treat you like a child and exert complete control over you. She is everything you surmised about her and is in league with negative spirits. Negativity gathers more negativity; negative spirits invite additional negative spirits to join in their games, and she has a pile of them around her. Your mother believes very strongly in her superiority and uses it to project her desires at and to other people. She truly believes that she is a “good” person and that everything she does is for the benefit of others.

By distancing yourself, you are honoring and loving yourself. But you still have not resolved all the damage your mother did to your psyche when you were young. You fear her, and that gives her and her negative minions the ability to taunt you whenever they desire. She wants to have you cater to her every wish, so she is sending energy to disrupt your life. You have allowed this to have an effect upon you because of your fear of her power.

You need to protect yourself from all this negativity. Start first by surrounding yourself with white light composed of unconditionally loving positive energy, which you may easily bring in from the universe. The negative spirits cannot penetrate this barrier. Be very clear in your intention that you do not want their interference, and revoke whatever permission to bother you anyone may feel they now possess.

Ask your personal guides to watch over any attempts to interfere with you at any time, but particularly when you are at rest. In a meditation, reach out to give the message very strongly to your mother’s higher self that you do not intend to give in to her demands and that all contacts should cease.

It is very important that you be firm in these actions and that you do not let the past influence the future. You are made of the same essence as your mother and therefore are as strong, manipulative, and powerful as she – as long as you believe you are and never falter in that belief.

ANSWER: Negative spirits in this world cannot just pop into your life and take you hostage. A discarnate, a soul that has abandoned a deceased body, drifts around for whatever reason with nothing but a desire not to return Home to unconditional love. It may want to get revenge for some believed acts against itself, or to experience a sense of control it never had while incarnate in a physical body.

Live souls in bodies have to give permission to these discarnates before they can enter into the person’s body. This agreement may be something as simple as the spirit saying, “I bet you can’t feel me if I enter your body,” and the person saying, “I bet I can.” This grants permission for the spirit to enter. Frequently, lonely people are first “courted,” and then when they express love or gratitude, the demon enters and takes over.

Souls come to Earth to live in a negative/positive duality. On a spiritual level, there is nothing that is unlawful or unjust about any experience that the soul undertakes. What you refer to as human rights and freedoms are ego-/judgment-based, third-dimensional societal belief systems. No human policing body even acknowledges the possibility of a human-vs.-spirit interaction. Third-dimensional people do not believe in nonphysical beings.

Spirits as positive souls, in their essential state of being, don’t judge any activity. Souls merely observe the event and evaluate whether an action they are observing is something they wish to experience, or something in which they choose not to engage.

Interactions a person makes in the third-dimensional, everyday world are governed by the social norms for that activity. This has nothing to do with spirituality, but everything to do with a soul’s experiencing its life lessons—the reason it is on Earth in the first place. A soul may even have chosen to incarnate in an area where human rights are not considered, in order to learn what that feels like.

ANSWER: Life lessons come to souls on Earth as negative experiences. Demons, and discarnates that don’t want to go home, are pure negativity and help provide a stage for life lessons. Not all of the negativity found in life lessons is the result of demons. It is good press to be able to associate bad things with beasties.

Dr. Modi and others have done great work with clients using regressive hypnosis. Returning to a strong negative lesson that you were unable to understand in another life, or even earlier in this life, permits you to see the lesson in another light and gives a second chance to complete your work of learning.

Only a small percentage of incomplete life lessons are caused by the interference of a demon. People may also have difficulty working with their own problems if they are surrounded by negative entities that do not want completion. Finishing a negative lesson allows souls to bring in positive love energy that chases away the negative beings; they don’t like to be sent away so they fight the process.

Those who have invited, consciously or unconsciously, a negative attachment to join their life can always benefit from help to remove the attachment. Releasement of negativity may be done through hypnosis, a spiritual healer, or the people themselves consciously withdrawing permission for the entity to be there.

Prevention will occur if souls learn to replace negative thoughts and energy with positive clear thoughts, activities, and energy. Being surrounded by negativity, without having it attached, also may cause illnesses and other difficulties. People want to be able to say that one plus one always equals two, but when seen another way, it equals eleven.

ANSWER: You have had a negative entity attached to you most of your life. Likes attract likes so your negativity is attracting and welcoming all sorts of other negative things. You find it almost impossible to meditate because you are letting down all of your defenses when you attempt to open to the non-physical world. They take this as an invitation to commune with you. Until you have sent your attachment packing you will never be alone. Your brother has also picked up a hitchhiker.

The energy is very much at home in your residence because that is where the energies can gather and be contained in a friendly environment. You are able to hear and see them because they are getting bolder in their feeling that you are welcoming them into your lives.

Trying to be spiritual is a threat to negativity because it brings in the positive energy of the light. You can use that energy to begin to break the hold the entities have on the two of you. The loose energies, those that are not attached, are the easiest to send away. They do not like light (candles) and smoke (particularly sage).

Use the smoke of a smudge stick to get into every corner of your house. As you are waving the smoking stick around say with conviction that you do not want any negativity to stay—that it all needs to move on. Wave smoke from head to foot around both your bodies as well.

You will need to get assistance to remove the attachments—especially yours, since it has been around so long. There are energy workers in your area who can help break the hold of this negativity.  It is very important that you also ask your guides to help protect you in the future from any return of this problem. They will be glad to assist you.

ANSWER: You are being plagued by a discarnate, a soul who left its physical body but chose not to go into the unconditional love of the universe. She pursues you since childhood because at one time, when you were lonely, you expressed the desire to have someone to talk to and play with, which she took as an invitation to attach herself to you.

She/it is not your guide, a genie, your mother, a giant devil, or a child. It is a trickster who has spent enough time with you to understand all of your wants, dreams, and desires. It aspires to have the energy of Kali Ma, the Hindu goddess who was a fierce warrior and champion of many of the other gods. It desires power above all things. Kali means darkness, and this discarnate is definitely of negative energy and not positive light.

What it wants above all else is for you to grant it entry into your physical body so that it might control a human body again and interact with others. If this is ever allowed to happen, you will find it taking over your thought process, causing you to do things you never would have considered.

You can start the process of sending her away by being very clear that you want nothing further to do with her. Tell her to cease and desist any contact with you and to depart from your energy. Suggest she would be happier if she entered into the light where her family and friends are awaiting her. She probably does not want to do that without the opportunity of having a second human experience.

Burn sage and incense because they cause irritation to wandering spirits. You must tell her to leave, at least three times in a row, to indicate that you are serious in wanting her to move on. Specify that you are revoking any invitation she may think you have issued, clearly stating that nothing was intended to allow her entry.

ANSWER: You give too much control of your life to others instead of trusting in your own abilities. Your attachment is not a negative one but rather an inquisitive entity. It is taking a lot of your strength because it is so curious to experience an Earthly body and wants to understand feelings, so it is tapping into yours. This entity is around because you gave it permission to hang out with you. This occurred when you mentioned that you had a need to be able to help others understand what this life is all about—feeling this would help you.

You will be able to release this attachment by revoking permission for it to be with you. This can be accomplished on your own, or with the help of a healer or a hypnotherapist. In each case it is necessary to access your higher self in the subconscious for your essence to talk to the being, thank it for the experience it has allowed you, and send it on its way.

One of the reasons that you have been unable to go into a past life is this attachment. It is aware of the fact that hypnosis takes you into your unconscious higher self, and it fears that once you are there you will tell it to move on. It is placing thoughts—of this inability to go deep enough out of conscious thought to reach your unconscious—in your head and you are seeing this as a limitation to moving forward. Know you have the ability to be in contact with yourself, and then do it!

ANSWER: In your search for knowledge and understanding, you have allowed three discarnate spirits to inhabit your body. Whatever you wish to call it, they are trying to exert total control over your life. They are not beings of light but are completely negative.

Once an entity enters your physicalness, it has access to everything in your conscious and unconscious mind; that is why these spirits know everything. It is like someone who has gained access to your computer: they see all the programs it contains and everything you have written and researched. They then have the ability to rewrite various materials within the computer to do what they desire, regardless of your wishes.

Unless you wish this to continue, you must revoke their permission to be a part of you. Spirits cannot come in without some type of permission. You allowed them in when you began a discourse with them. It did not look like an invite to you, but to them it was the door being flung completely open.

The next chapter they would like to see happen is their being able to dictate all of your actions so that they are almost living their own lives through the use of your body. But the body is yours. Who is in control is up to you. The first thing you must do is get help in removing these spirits.

Seek out a healer who has experience in spirit removal. In the meantime, cleanse yourself of all negativity. When you start thinking negative thoughts, stop yourself, and bring in the most loving experience you have ever had. Bathe your body with sea salt, baking soda, and vinegar. Burn incense and candles, and always have the intention in your mind that these discarnates are no longer welcome and must move on.

ANSWER: The soul that was the original occupant of your husband’s body has returned Home. He had completed all the lessons he came to Earth to learn. He was to die in an accident, and the current soul-occupant made an agreement with him to use the body he was about to discard so that he might begin this incarnation without having to go through all the trials and tribulations of birth, toddler, teen, etc.

Some of the original lessons of your husband were experiences with very strong negative influences. This is what you perceived as a dark side of him. He had chosen a rather short life because negativity is an intense scenario and he wanted to have just a short burst with time to incorporate the lessons slowly-but back Home. He wants you to know that he agreed to this switch so that you might have an agreeable companion for the current time.

The current occupant is a soul that has been on Earth many, many times. Not all walk-ins are buddhic in nature. It depends on the stage of their enlightenment and the reason they have chosen to enter life in this unusual manner. He is awakening rapidly, so time will tell if he can reach a buddhic level within this life span.

Continue to observe life and learn the lessons you have chosen and that are presented by others. Remain open to the energy flow and ride along for a good trip through this dimension.

ANSWER: There are such things as walk-ins where one soul is finished with its body and another steps in without having to go through childhood. The phrase appeared first in the Seth materials. There are never a lot of walk-ins on the planet at one time—it is actually quite rare.

That said, there is another reason for the experience some people have of their personality’s changing during their lifetime. There are those, such as your mentioned soul, who have an entirely different experience: They are taken over by another soul (a discarnate), and both exist in the body until the soul’s body commands the possessor to vacate.

When a person dies and their consciousness does not want to admit they have died, or they want to remain on Earth instead of going back Home, they need another body if they wish to interact with other humans. They cannot just jump into someone else without their consent, so they generally try to convince the living person that they can benefit them in some fashion.

In the reported case, the famous person craved even more fame and the discarnate came along and promised him that together they could do even greater things. This was tantamount to an invitation that was accepted by the spirit, and a joining took place. The confusion about what happened, which came through the guide, was the result of the soul’s not having learned the lesson of responsibility and still trying to figure out the event in a way that appeared to be positive.

A moderate form of change can also occur when a discarnate energy attaches itself to a person and influences their behavior and thinking. It does not enter into the body but is present at times to give its “opinions” to the human. This is fairly frequent when you have a person who does not like to make decisions and is constantly asking other people for their opinion.
