SKATEBOARDS FOR PEACE

Two young Australians Sharna Nolan and Oliver Percovich in 2008 saw the potential of creating friendly relations with the young Afghan boys and girls of Kabul, by introducing skate boarding into their lives.

As skate boards are a new concept in Afghanistan there was no ban to girls learning the new sport and both genders have taken up the new sporting experience with great enthusiasm.

So much so, that with contributions from many nations such as Norway, Denmark, Germany and Canada, a new skate park complex, Skateistan has been built which will not only house skate areas, but also have class rooms for the co-educational teaching of maths, english, computer work, literacy, etc.

Over 300 boys and girls have enrolled for the new courses. 60% of them females who have little outlet in Kabul for sports and hobbies.

Oliver recently explained why he had helped the Afghan children – "We are absolutely elated at the opening of the skate park. It is a whole lot of people getting behind an idea and making it a reality!"

We salute these two young Australians for their unique endeavour of creating peace and understanding through modern sports. Now what can you do?

RECESSION AND DEPRESSION?

Q. There is so much talk about depressions and recessions at the moment. What does Spirit say?

A. There is certainly a sense of fear and economic worry in the world at the moment and the stronger people tie into it the greater it becomes. Try to be optimistic. Certainly be sensible with your income and expenditure, but try to see a positive future ahead, not negative, particularly when you meditate or just on going to sleep. Otherwise you are sending synergetic energy to the problem and actually increasing it’s effect! See it instead as a test of faith on your part and recognise that it is a benevolent Universe!

WHAT IS HAPPINESS?

In this busy world of ours, full of material possessions and desires, many people are losing track of what really makes them happy. People's credit cards are at their limit and many people have designer clothes, new cars and attractive, expensive homes, yet strangely they often complain that they are unhappy and unfulfilled.

Yet contradictorily, most people think that having more money, bigger houses, flashier cars and higher paying jobs is the answer to their woes. "Give me more and I will be happy!" They demand of the Universe, never realizing that the objects of third dimension that they so frantically seek, will never give them the satisfaction and illumination that their lives need.

Now cynics will say, "I'd rather be an unhappy rich person than a poor unhappy person. I'll suffer in luxury!" and of course this is partly true. No one wants to be poor and hungry, sick and desolate. We all need a sufficient income to let us live a life of good health, good food, good shelter, money for play and purposeful work which gives us inner fulfillment. But people who already live in excess will never "fill themselves up" emotionally, by having more money or buying more luxuries. At the best, this can only be a very short term desire sated, then it's time to look for something else to buy, consume or desire! This materialistic roundabout can go on forever!

How do you get off this vicious cycle of desire, search, sate and then ennui and disappointment? By totaling changing your outlook to life. By accepting on all levels, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual, that you are here on Earth in this present incarnation, not to consume everything in sight, as every advertising agency in the world will tell you, but instead for a much higher, nobler purpose! You came here with a Divine Mission - plans to complete, for the betterment of society and the planet Gaia and for your own spiritual development. Definitely not to have a BMW and a penthouse! If these come as a by product of your Divine Mission, that’s fine, but they are only superficial toys, not the true reason for being here!

Once you change this prime perception of your true reason for incarnating to Earth, you can begin to discover why you are here and what you are going to do about it. Believe me, you will get so interested in your new pathway in life, that you won't have an interest in chasing 3D success and material objects that soon pall!

We believe through channellings from Ascended Masters, that the very human desire for more, more, more! is a left over trait from our lives as angelic beings on the higher spheres of existence, where we actually can manifest everything we desire instantly! Quite a knack! As angels, what we think happens! But here on Earth, the same desires and pursuits of our goals takes endless energy and effort. Energy which distracts us from our true Life Plan and World Plan.

You may have come to Earth, to help the poor, start charities, do hands on work to eliminate poverty, give of your heart, hands and wealth. But instead, you are chasing the big house, the new car, the job success, completely forgetting your noble purpose and why you chose to endure the harsher, denser vibration of 3D Earth - to help others and become a more perfected you!

Believe us, that no-one ever returned to Heaven and was given a standing ovation for becoming a billionaire who selfishly hoarded his money! Yet those brave souls who come to Earth, help make positive changes, despite the lack of wealth and public success can happily return to their Angelic Home, feeling that they have done a life of service on Earth, to the best of their capabilities! They are the ones who are honoured and rise to higher levels of angelic being. Spiritual advancement can't be bought with cold hard cash, it must be earned through unconditional love, higher action and self sacrifice.

True enjoyment of life, doesn't involve money and success, it involves giving with an open heart, helping others and using your natural talents to raise the light in others. We all incarnate with some precious gifts and the ability to find a fulfilling pathway of service to humanity. Find your true purpose, act on it with love and you will never feel unsatisfied and unfulfilled again!

Love and Light

MICRO CREDIT THE WAY OF HELPING OTHERS

Q. Spirit can I ask, how a person can help the poor of the world? Are charities and personal donations enough? I want to help and make a difference!

A. Dear friend, your intentions are noble and you work from highest intent and compassion every day, which we find very admirable. Your angelic self is working over time! There are many ways to help the poor of the Earth and enable them to feel empowered in the process. For charity is just not enough. As they say "Rather than give a man a fish, it is better to teach that man how to fish!"

Sometimes dealing with an immediate emergency, aid must be given as food or medical supplies, but at other times, long lasting help can be given by encouraging the poor to grow new crops, teach better land management, help build a well for clean water or a small local hospital for the sick. As we help another, we help ourselves, for are we not all One?

Another modern way of encouraging others to grow is to support microcredit organisations that are working from a non profit basis. Many are springing up in the Third World Countries. These are supported by people from richer countries who with small amounts of money, group together to form an organisation which will loan small loans to people in poorer countries that are not usually eligible for loans from banking institutions.

With a loan of $100 or $50 thay can start a small business, repaying a small amount a month. As the business grows, they employ others and repay their original loan, therefore enabling another person to have access to the money to start their own business. Properly run, with both efficiency and compassion, many widows, disabled and poor people have empowered their community and themselves and freed themselves and their families from the cycle of poverty. Indeed a noble enterprise!

You may be surprised to hear that the defaults on this program is very low, as most people immediately see the benefits and are honourable in their business management and repayments.

I therefore encourage you dear friend, to help those you can, with hands on work and help locally, give charitable donations to those afar, but if you feel so inclined and want to do more, join one of these reputable organisations and help others to self sufficiency. This is true charity – helping others to live as you do with self respect and gainful employment.

Blessings to you,

Kwan Yin

HOW TO SURVIVE A CRISIS IN YOUR LIFE

A Channelling from the Ascended Master Kwan Yin

Dear Ones, into every life must come times of joy, mundanity and despair. The joyful parts are willingly accepted by us all – the weddings, births, love and success. The mundane parts of life are endured with patience and often a sense of boredom – the long task undertaken, the apprenticeship, the day to day routine that must be done such as washing cleaning or driving to work. However we all recoil at the times when despair, pain and suffering come to us, yet these are essential ingredients to life.

These sad ocassions teach us great life lessons that cannot always be learnt from ideal, happy occurances in life. These crisis situations may involve sickness, relationship endings, business failures or even death. If we could, we would all like to avoid these harsher lessons, but unfortunately we cannot do so. Instead we must learn to accept these grim occurances for what they are and learn to deal with them in a higher, more spiritual manner.

I have known people who grow very angry with Spirit whenever something happens to shake the comfort of their safe worlds. When they succumb to illness, they feel that this is unjust. When they lose money or a relationship goes sour, they blame Spirit for not magically fixing the situation. And when someone they love dies, they raile against heaven and proclaim that God is unloving and vengeful.

I empathise, as I am sure you all do, with their pain and anger, but this is not the way to handle a crisis in life that is meant to be experienced for your own higher good. What do I mean by that?you may well ask. How can you learn by adversity and pain? Why would you want to experience suffering?

The answer, my dear ones, is simple – before incarnating to Earth in this current lifetime, you have asked to perfect yourself by experiencing good and bad situations that will test your soul and help you to become a more sensitive, compassionate and powerful angelic being. This cannot be done by living a perfectly peaceful, uneventful life full of prosperity, good health, no bad relationships or death. This is the kind of life you live between incarnations in Heaven. Earth is a different scenario all together!

For instance, if you were offered a world tour fully paid, taking you to many countries and involving both good and bad experiences, would you take it? Or would you instead opt to be driven endlessly up and down your own street where you feel safe and secure? Earth is the equivalent of the world tour with good and bad experiences, while the peaceful, non eventful street is similar to Heaven. That is why you incarnate for experience, for personal growth, for danger, and the spice of life!

Therefore, it is important to realise fully – that every major experience or event in your life is pre-planned and asked for, before you incarnate to Earth as an eager volunteer, whether positive or negative. In heaven you are so much braver and audacious than you are on Earth and you actually look forward to conquering fears and dealing with crisis!

Now how do you learn to deal with crisis in a higher, more angelic way? By understanding the causes of the crisis, by learning the lessons once, so they do not have to be repeated and by finding an inner calm within yourself that will give you strength to last through the crisis and not succumb to despair, hysterics or even more negative emotions or behaviour which actually intensify the situation. This can be done, dear friends, by sitting calmly and studying the situation with both your heart and mind.

For instance, I have known people who have been struck down with injury or disease, who instead of cursing the fates, have used the time recuperating to study philosophies or practice art or music. No matter how limited their physical movement, they have found ways of overcoming their difficulty to pursue an interest that they have previously said, that they have not had the time to study. They have learnt to meditate and go within, to explore their own psyches and have emerged as more balanced, more content people, who have even surprisingly, come to bless the illness or injury that allowed them time to take stock of their busy lives and create a better more fulfilling lifestyle for themselves.

When relationships break up between people, particularly lovers, often men and women are left in despair and sorrow. They feel that life has no meaning and that they will never be happy again. This is the perfect time to learn to sit quietly meditate and to find inner peace, learn the lessons that the breakup has given them, analyse the strengths and faults of the relationship and resolve to not make the same mistakes when their next potential lover comes along!

It is important to realise that to meet your Twin Flame partner, you may need to experience many karmic or soul mate relationships along the way for experience and to teach you to be more discerning about life partners. All relationships should give you insights into your own behaviour, ideas and needs and the important thing should be to gain life experience and then lovingly let the person go, rather than to hold on to them in a needy manner that does not help either of you grow as individuals. Do not rush out to fill the void of having no one, by finding a substitute, but instead take time to work through the loss, look at the relationship with an objective gaze and learn from the experience. Then you will choose a more compatible lover next time and come out of the crisis in a more peaceful, empowered manner!

Death of a loved one, is of course the most emotional and destructive of all human crisis. You all feel so powerless by the sad event, for no person can prevent it. It is a higher rule that everyone chooses their own death date before incarnating, whether it be for days, months, years or decades. The person has chosen this time on Earth for experience and growth and now wishes to leave, to return to Heaven, their true Home. They return in triumph and while they miss you, they know that you will all meet again after life. They are happy, safe and loved by all. But it is you who are left behind and grieve for the loss of their earthly presence.

Yet even in these sad and dire times of crisis, you can find faith and hope within. You can sit quietly and see a Divine Plan behind it all, if you can find a place of calm. Often death comes after great physical suffering, and you as a compassionate person, would not want the person you love so dearly, to endure more suffering. For unexpected death through accidents, you can in time, come to also see that the release from life, for the spirit to return to Heaven was meant. They had learnt their individual lessons, given love and encouragement to others and now deserve their reward on the higher planes. They are aware of your sorrow and loss, but they are also quite close to you, still sending their love and watching over you. It is when you are in meditation or sitting quietly, that you feel them near.

Meditation, dear friends, gives you peace, solace and a chance to escape temporarily from the crisis occuring around you. It also helps you to have the opportunity to recharge your emotional and physical bodies. During a crisis, no matter how severe or emotionally draining, I advise you to take time out for quiet reflection, you will feel so much better and stronger for it.

In meditation, your angelic guides can be felt more strongly and often solutions to life’s problems come to you more clearly and intuitvely. You can think of it, as the calm in the middle of a cyclone. You sit in quietness, regain your equilibrium and then return to the energy of the crisis with a calmer spirit, clearer mind and faith in Spirit that everything is happening for a reason!

Here is how to meditate during a crisis –

Find a calm place such as a garden, chapel or deserted room, sit down and take 3 deep breaths, allowing negative energy to be expelled and drawing in peace, positivity and calmness.

Do not think of the crisis. Allow instead your mind to think of something pleasant, such as a beautiful scene, a stunning flower, a warm bath, the night sky, or your angelic guides. Feel, smell, hear the pleasant situation. Allow peace to flow over you.

Now ask your Angelic Guides to help you. Feel their embrace, their calm presence, their love and support. Sit like this for as long as you can. Absorb the calm, the positivity, the love.

Now ask for guidance on the crisis, don’t dwell on the sad event, but listen, feel the angelic response. This may come as a clear explaination, but more likely as a feeling surrounding the situation or a feeling of rightness or strength to carry on.

Thank the Universe for the guidance and then say an afirmation aloud, such as – "I trust in Spirit, that everything is happening as it should. I have the faith that the outcome will be for my Higher Good!" Then open your eyes and take three deep breaths. Carry this new sense of calmness and resolve out into the crisis and deal with it now with a feeling of angelic support, Spirit’s love and self acceptance.

I bless you all. Call me to you, when needed.

Kwan Yin.

A chance to release old negative bonds and blocks and create new positive, expansive situations for growth.

Here is how to do this two part meditation-

BIRTHDAY MEDITATION

Close your eyes and breathe three deep breaths. Relax.

Mentally surround yourself in a golden oval of light.

Begin to slowly relax your head. If a muscle feels tight, tighten it further, then relax it.

Begin to slowly relax your neck.

Begin to slowly relax your shoulders.

Begin to slowly relax your chest. Breathe slower and lighter.

Begin to slowly relax your back. If a muscle feels tight, tighten it further, then relax it.

Now allow all the stored energy in your body to drain out from your fingers and toes into space. Visualise it as a green energized light.

Relax.

Still your mind.

Imagine that you are in a quiet garden. Think of past incidents that have caused you pain. Do not feel anger or betrayal, but instead, send anyone concerned or any unpleasant situation - unconditional love. Think of the incident or him/her as a teacher, not an enemy. Forgive him/her for any pain they have caused you.

Now feel a heavy weight on your back, like a backpack weighing you down. Now imagine a golden pair of scissors in your hand and gentle sever the chords that hold the backpack on, release it completely and imagine the backpack of past unpleasant memories being sent to the sun to be destroyed. You feel better already!

Now, in the second part of this exercise -

You know that it is a benevolent Universe that is trying to help you in your physical and spiritual journey. Ask the Universe to help you to call in positive, new learning experiences, on all levels. Imagine the positive changes that you would like to occur, in the coming year. Send these images love, hope and optimism. Believe that they will happen! Ask for Divine guidance in these matters.

Now relax. Maintain this calmness for several minutes.

Then -

Begin to slowly tighten your head.

Do not get up quickly! Or you may feel dizzy.

Happy Birthday to you!

GENERATION Y, THE MILLENNIUM CHILDREN

"My dear friends, I would speak to you today of the young people known as Generation Y or the Millennium Children, the children of the Starseeds and grandchildren of the Lightworkers. They are born just pre the 21^st century or after 2000 AD. Special children from many heavenly levels who come to Earth voluntarily to help Gaia, the planet Earth, create Unity and bring in new concepts of love and joy.

Many of these dear ones have lived many incarnations on other planets in far off galaxies and have come to bring the higher traits they learnt there to aid humanity. They see how generations of greedy humans have exploited the planet’s resources, caused pollution, made holes in the protective shield of Earth and lived in disregard for the coming generations. They have come to redress these faults before they become impossible to mend.

They are therefore, more ecological minded than previous generations and will try to bring this awareness of responsibility for the land, sea and air into everyday existance and life style. What hurts the Earth, hurts them. They fully realise that there is a symbiotic relationship between the Earth and Gaia, it’s spirit and the welfare of all human beings, animals and plants. They embrace this willingly and with purpose, knowing that without intervention, the Earth as we know it, will be destroyed through neglect and apathy and become a barren, over heated, forgotten planet with polluted air, undrinkable water and few trees and crops.

They are determined to turn things around and work to bring renewal to the Earth. They will embrace ideas such as recycling, making their own combust and living with a carbon footprint that is negligible, by using green power and thoughtful disposal of their wastes.

They come to bring a greater Unity to all people of the planet, not allowing racism or religion to create barriers. Males and females will truly be considered equal partners in daily life.

They love elctronic phenomena such as mobile phones, the internet, anything that helps keep them in touch with others. They are used to new technologies and you will see an increase in all mass media connections, during their lifetimes for work and play.

The Starseeds, their parents began the trend and now they will take it to higher levels of awareness, hopefully using these inventions for the good of all people and the planet. They will create a greater unity with the animals of the planet, having not so much pets as friends. There will be a decrease in the farming of animals for meat and more natural grain based and fruit based food will be consumed, more in harmony with nature.

They will be a smart, caring generation! They will also demand more personal time for leisure and to do the hobbies that they love. Work will be balanced with personal time and space. Many of the materialistic traits of the former generations will be let go, as they embrace that which is important to them now, rather than save for the future or wait to experience new adventures.

They will have a greater freedom in life with overseas and space travel regarded as normal. They will not put barriers up to new experiences and therefore, embrace new concepts and inventions. Life will be modern, technological, yet personal based as to their own requirements and desires. They will plot the lives they want and create them with the superb manifesting skills that they have incarnated to Earth with already developed. They will leave their mark on the Earth in a higher, more tolerant manner and redress many mistakes that humankind has made through mining and misuse of the land.

Society will change radically, but for the better as old concepts and unmanageable values are left behind. These dear children will make enornous strides forward in medicine that will extend the lives of many and will help the poorer countries raise their living standards by compassionate help and new technologies.

Their psychic skills will be more fully developed and they will embrace life and the future with expectant joy and self power. Blessings to you Generation Y. may this Millennium be one of great advancement for the human race!

Love and Light

Mother Mary

SANANDA'S MESSAGE OF LOVE AND LIGHT

Blessings to you, my children. This is Sananda, known to you as Jesus. I have incarnated on many planets where the light has been needed, where there has been darkness in the souls of mankind. I came to you on this planet long ago, to spread the Light to awaken you to who you truly are and to the Light that is within you all. Many of you have heeded my word and many have not, for always you have free choice.

I am now about to come to you again, in a different form and a different way and so throughout your Earth, I send messages to those who will listen. I ask you this time, to find the Light within you and raise that Light (spiritual understanding and power), so that when I come, you my troops are ready and that you understand, you recognise me, with open arms.

In each incarnation, I bring a slightly different message. For each time in your history, you have a different understanding. I could not talk to the ancient Israelites of space ships. This they would not have understood. Nor could I talk to the South Americans of Jehovah, for this they would not have understood. As humankind progresses, with its mental powers and sciences, therefore, the message becomes more involved, more intricate. I am sure, still ahead of me, will be many incarnations, in which I will appear, whether on this planet or others and the message shall vary, but underneath it, is always the true message of Love.

For Love, my children, is the basis of all. It is truly of the Light. Where there is love, there is no hatred, no fear, no doubt and no pain. I ask you, therefore, when I ask you to raise the Light, to bring into your heart, as much Love as you possibly can. Love for all races, love for all religions, love for all sexes. Let there be no division between you and any of humankind or any of the animals or any of the Light forces upon this Earth.

Let you truly love them all, with Love, with Light, with hope and truly you will then be ready, when I come to be part of my Army of Lightworkers. I send you blessings, You spread such light and radiance that it warms up the whole area, in which you reside. Never doubt the Light that is within you, for it is truly a wondrous gift and as I see you using it, it brings such joy to my heart. I leave you now. Know that your work is good and ongoing and I am ever here for all of you. Call my name and I will be with you, for guidance and for love.

Farewell,

Sananda

Sananda is the higher self name of the being who incarnated as Jesus Christ. He loves people of every faith.

OVERCOMING GUILT

Guilt can be a soul destroying emotion that can rule many people's lives. It is primarily a human emotion experienced by men, women and children who believe that they have committed an immoral action, thought negatively or been the influence behind something wrong or debased. It can force people to suicide, cause depression, create fear and phobias and stunt their life's progress.

We have both psychically "seen" heavy black etheric bundles of guilt on the shoulders of people who indulge in constant grief and guilt. It badly affects their auras and chakras and results in poor health and inner emotional conflict.

Guilt can occur due to many life experiences, particularly those seen as traumatic or negative. Many people harbour feelings of guilt around betrayal, sexual experiences, neglect of responsibilities and immature conduct.

How does Spirit and the Ascended Masters feel about Guilt? Let us examine a few of their inspired channellings, related by The Abbotts, concerning this powerful emotion.

This gentle and wise channelling from Kwan Yin was the answer to a friend's question, "I feel guilty about the way, I treated my Father, who is now dead. We fought and argued throughout my teenage years and I said many cruel and untrue things to him. We were estranged for a number of years, but before I could make up with him, he died of cancer. I feel so bad and feel I don't deserve the love of anyone now. What can I do to make it up?"

"My dear, did your father love you?" Kwan Yin.

"Of course!"

"Do you forgive him for his immature conduct in continuing the argument between yourself?" Kwan Yin.

"Definitely, I do!"

"Then why do you think he would do less for you who are his own child? He loves you even more, now that he is in the higher realms of Heaven, for he sees your Intent, your reasons behind your conflict with him. He can see your hurt, guilt and unforgiveness of yourself. He does not want you to suffer guilt, another second longer.

Be gentle to yourself, love yourself, he urges this with a great smile. Your pain and guilt hurts him. Release both of your selves from an destructive action. Surround yourself in a pink ball of forgiveness light and feel guilty no more!"

Others take the weight on the whole world on their shoulders!

In answer to the question, "I feel guilty about all the pain and suffering in the world, as if it's my fault somehow. Help!" Kwan Yin, the Chinese Goddess of Compassion (channelled by The Abbotts), gently explained suffering, to a confused young man in a meditation group.

"Blessings to you. I Am the Lady Kwan Yin. I would speak to you about death, about pain and suffering. You need at times to understand why these things occur on Earth and if they are part of your life, why they are there.

If I take you mentally back before you were born, before this incarnation, I would tell you this that on some dimension, you sat down and planned with one of the great Masters, or the guides that are closest to you, your life plan for the next incarnation.

There are certain major events that you decided upon, that will help you grow as an individual. If you wish to live a life of love and peace and harmony with no discomfort, no pain, you do not incarnate on Earth, for Earth has the densest of all the vibrations. And yet, it is the planet on which you grow the fastest.

 And this is why you come to Earth and I tell YOU this very important fact - you are volunteers, not victims. I will repeat that - you are volunteers, not victims.

If you have had sad, unhappy, painful lives with incidents occurring that are beyond your understanding, that have caused you great suffering, remember you volunteered to experience them. Death is not the tragedy that you make out on Earth. Death is a release for those that have come in, gone through their karmic ties and problems, have learnt their lessons and have decided then to depart. Death is always voluntary. And many of those dear ones, that you have supposedly lost on this dimension, are constantly with you, constantly sending their love and support, as guardian angels to you.

When a person decides they will have certain incidents occur in their life that is not absolutely concrete bound. We are not so much concerned with the incidents as your emotional response to those incidents. Many people will incarnate, bringing with them certain traits and problems, illnesses, physical and mental in order to put larger obstacles in their pathway. They are seeking the Light, but they come in as volunteers willing to try out new ideas to increase their spirituality. Sometimes of course, the very obstacles they place in front of them overwhelm them so much that they forget they are after the Light and then commit acts of darkness, acts of unlovingness, caused out of fear, or anger, but mostly through separation.

Remember, on many, many levels this Earth dimension you are on, is an illusion. You decide to come in as actors to play out parts so that you experience emotions, so that you can learn to train yourself to work towards the Light instead of the darkness. And so my friends, do not feel any guilt about any situations in your past, other than sending Light to those situations and do not judge others, by their situations, Judge others only as you would judge yourself - with love and Light and forgiveness...’ Kwan Yin.

Women who have had to make the saddest of all decisions to have a termination of a foetus, are often bound down with guilt all through their life. In a closed spiritual group, a depressed woman asked, "I feel so guilty about an abortion I had several years ago. Was this wrong?"

Lady Kwan Yin lovingly and wisely wished to address this problem.

"Spirit always gives the beings on Earth choice, always! If a woman feels, that having become pregnant, that she cannot follow through with the act (of birth), then Spirit allows that person to make the choice. There is no guilt, as you say, on the Spiritual Level, connected with this act, because before this life time, it was written as part of that person's Life Plan.

The Soul that may be coming into the baby, does not actually enter into the baby, until just before birth and it is well aware that it has the chance of being born or not born into such circumstances.

 Spirit rejoices when a baby is born onto this Earth, even though it knows it will go through many trials and troubles, being here. It is an opportunity for great growth for the Soul. But if a woman, that is pregnant, finds that she cannot handle the emotional chaos, that is in such a circumstance or feels that she cannot love the little being, that is to be born, there is certainly no guilt attached to the act of termination. It is only physical flesh being terminated and allowed to decay.

The Soul always has the choice to return to another being to be born or to wait for that person (the Mother), to become more mature and stable, so that it can return again, if it is particularly drawn to that family.

So please, tell those that have had a voluntary termination or miscarriage, that the Soul is never harmed and only physical matter is passed away, as all physical matter is passed away on this Earth and Spirit always knows at a higher level, what will occur anyway.

Blessings. Lady Kwan Yin.

Guilt can often be the basis of depression. Feeling unworthy of our family or friends can send some men and women into spiraling guilt and grief. This is a very common statement we hear in our counselling work.

"I feel guilty and depressed, because I've let everyone down. I'd be better off dead!"

Mother Mary has delivered to us in an inspired channelling these comforting words which we often relate to our depressed clients.

"Tell my dear ones not to despair and that there is hope! Do not give into apathy, depression, guilt and fear. You can change your life around and create the life you want!

You all have immense, undiscovered paranormal powers which can be reactivated and used to create a meaningful, contented life for yourselves. We in Spirit, are just a breath away from you and more than willing to help you. Contact us, pray to us, call us in your meditations, listen to us, feel our love. We will never desert you. Find your true purpose for incarnating - for there is one! You only have to search and find it!

And do not give into thoughts of suicide. For I tell you this - those who take their lives prematurely, before their divine missions are fulfilled, almost certainly, return immediately into the form of a new born baby. Then they have to go through the arduous task of growing up and becoming adults again, in similar surroundings and WITH THE SAME SET OF EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS!

So you can't circumvent your missions or dodge your life lessons, no matter how many times you opt out of life by suicide. So why not stay and live out this life as you planned. Believe me, dear ones, it will become better. You will find love and contentment. You can make a difference!"

Our free ebook available on our website in the Book section I Don’t Want to Be Here! Is also recommended by us for those who are depressed and contemplating suicide. Please read it with an open mind!

Parents often feel guilty about causing pain to their children through their negative or thoughtless actions. Here are some common questions about parental guilt answered by the Ascended Masters and The Abbotts.

"I feel responsible for my son's drug taking, perhaps I did not give him enough time and love!" Susan

I asked Susan to try to look with detachment, at the incidents which had caused her so much stress and unhappiness. Her son’s problem with drugs, ultimately was not her problem. It was his. Naturally, as a mother, she was distressed at his actions and should offer comfort and support, but it was Martin’s problem, (no doubt a wake up reminder from his own Spiritual Higher Self, to make him examine his life).

We discussed, how she could spend more time with Martin, in a companionable, but not critical manner and how she could help him find professional drug counselling, for his addiction. Susan was encouraged, not to feel guilty about Martin’s addiction. It was his choice and his actions, not her own.

Dena's daughter had been sexually molested by a family member and she felt very guilty for "letting her daughter down", as she put it.

Spirit however explained in a wise channelling that, "No one, should ever hurt or force their behaviour on to another person. That is not spiritual or loving. If you believe in the theory of karma, you will realise that if you harm anyone physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually through molestation or rape, that inevitably you will be placed in a similar incident where you will be the victim, not the perpetrator, so that you can experience the pain of the situation and hopefully, never perpetrate the act again.

If the karma does not happen in this life, it most certainly will happen in a future life. Karma is the perfect reward and punishment system. They may elude the law in this life, but they can’t evade your karmic responsibilities, forever!

Hopefully, there will come a life, when the victim or perpetrator will break the pattern. Their higher moral values and deep feelings of empathy towards all fellow beings, will make the act of forced sexual intimacy seem atrocious and barbaric. When both of them feel this way and no longer wish to harm each other (and in fact can forgive any negative actions in past lives), the pattern is dissolved forever and the situation will not arise in future lives. Once you have learnt important life lessons, thoroughly, there is no further point in repeating them."

We have counselled many men and women who feel immensely guilty for having homosexual feelings. This channelling from a Master is often comforting to them.

"Again, we would stress that any act of love or sex which is done with respect and love, is not judged as being wrong, by Spirit. Many humans who have had countless incarnations as men and women, may choose to experience a life as a homosexual man or woman. This is not a ‘lesser’ condition. It is just one of many variations.

Certainly, we are not naive enough to think that it may not cause the individual great emotional pain. Society is still prejudiced against anyone who is different or who is seen as a threat. But, the individual soul chooses this lifestyle and emotional and mental pattern quite willingly. This can be perceived as either very brave or very stupid. The choice is yours.

But, please have tolerance and love for these souls. Who knows, you may decide to choose a similar life next time! How would you like people to treat you? With love and understanding or resentment and anger?"

Betrayal through adultery is often a common and heartbreaking guilt that many men and women carry with them throughout life. In channellings from the Ascended Masters they have told us how they view this act, "Usually with sadness, rather than condemnation. Not because of the physical act which may or not be loving but because trust and faith are broken with their legal partner. If it is discovered, it often causes emotional pain within the relationship and an ending to family life.

This is a time in your society, for many people to end up karma, with many beings who they have previously loved in past lives, as wives, husbands or lovers.

That is why many people have many partners in their lives and the divorce rate is so high! This is a perfect example, of spirit using a negative situation for spiritual positivity! We would naturally, prefer you to meet your Twin Flame and live a contented life with your partner, for the rest of your life. But, so few of you marry your Twin Flames that it is inevitable that many people, leave their partners and seek for that elusive being.

 Unfortunately, most of you are looking for the wrong type of person in the wrong place!

To return to your original question - yes, adultery is wrong. If your marriage is so dysfunctional, that you need to find someone else as a sexual partner, you need to look at your motives and your marriage. Are you just being immature and greedy or is it time to lovingly and gently end the marriage, so that your partner also, can find their Twin Flame?"

 Andrew felt very guilty about engaging in debased sexual activities when a teenager. "I can't forgive myself for such lowly behaviour!" He cried with guilt.

Many people have huge issues around their sexuality that can make them feel very depressed and even lead to suicide. Some of the common problems that many people face are - confused gender roles, homosexuality, sexual abuse, incest and rape. An incident early in life, may make many people live their lives with strong feelings of guilt or hatred of the opposite sex.

The Kinsey Report tells us that 10% of people are strongly heterosexual, 10% homosexual and the other 80% slide along the scale. So why are we so hung up on sexual preferences?

Most people want a partner in life who they can relate to emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically, through sex. However, their deep inhibitions and results of trauma and guilt, leave them unable to relate to others, which increases their depression.

Every message that we have received through channelings from the Ascended Masters and Angels, has always been sympathetic and non-judgmental towards anyone who is sexually confused.

Spirit also, has sympathy for the perpetrator of sexual crimes, knowing that they too, are a confused angel who has lost their way. They expect them to get their act together and stop abusing anyone else and to try to make amends where possible, but they don't condemn or hate them.

Spirit has told us in channellings that "Sexual feelings are not wrong. They are normal and instinctive. They were developed in you by the Creator, as not only a means of continuing the species, but, also, as a pleasurable activity to bring you joy. Have you not heard of Tantric sex? The Hindus developed the sexual act into an activity which allowed union to the Godforce, to be part of it’s purpose. Many people, while experiencing orgasm, find "a little bit of heaven" in their lives.

We would suggest, however, when you are engaging in sexual activity that you do it with someone you love and respect. This raises the act into one of ‘loving oneness’, not just lust and animal behaviour. Besides, as any mature person will tell you honestly, that to have sex with someone you love and who really loves you - is a wondrous event in your life. While to have sex with someone you don’t love or respect, makes the act tawdry and inconsequential.

On the other hand, being celibate is not wrong either. If you prefer to channel your energy into spiritual endeavours, sport or creativity, this is fine also. The choice must be always yours. There is no right or wrong answer and neither sexual activity or celibacy, is higher spiritually, than the other."

Holding on to old pain and guilt over sexual issues is a constant drain on your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual energies. There are better things that you can do with your life than sitting around hugging an old wound to you. You are here on this Planet Earth to learn about life issues and many of them are not pleasant to experience - but you are brave enough to overcome them. It is important to learn to forgive those who may have hurt you in any way. Because if you hold the pain to you, you will inevitably cause yourself, not only mental illness, but actually start a negative reaction in your body which may turn to cancer or such illness.

Great bitterness can be generated through a nasty divorce and remains with the two participants, often throughout their entire lives. This hatred, guilt and bitterness, can eventually result in life threatening diseases in either one or both parties, such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and liver and gall bladder problems. Think about it - don’t we talk of someone being "broken hearted" or a situation being as "bitter as gall"?

"Dear Ones, you ask me if divorce is right or wrong? I would answer by saying, that to live unhappily or painfully in an unloving marriage is worse than divorce! Obviously, if you can overcome your difficulties with your husband or wife, through counseling or spiritual advice, to do so, is a loving and sensible thing to do, particularly if there are children in the marriage.

But sometimes, it is inevitable that the marriage will break down and nothing can revive it. Then it is essential that you both discuss the separation, in as loving and practical manner, as is possible, without shouting, without tears without recriminations. Remember always, that this is someone who you once loved dearly. Do not end the marriage with hate and spite. Let your true loving spiritual nature come to the fore. Separate with friendship. Separate in a caring manner. Separate in the highest possible manner!" Mother Mary.

Occasionally a person's guilt is concerned with dishonest actions. Our book Omni channelled from the Ascended Masters gently explores the crime of lies and theft and the guilt incurred.

"Later that day, the town’s men brought to Him a man who had been caught out in lies and false witness and the Master sighed and said, "My friend why have you caused disharmony around you and within you? For do you not realise that what you do to another then they will do to you? Go forward and admit your guilt, make amends for the wrongs that you have done, and speak no more lies nor give false witness. For this man who you have lied about, is your brother and would you hurt your brother? This man that you have false witnessed is yourself and would you lie against yourself?" And the man thought on this and was ashamed and he went away and lied no more.

Next day, the town’s people brought to Him, a man who had stolen a pig and said, "What shall we do to this man?" And the Master said to the thief, "What would you do, if someone was to steal a pig from you?" And the thief said, "I would beat him and chase him away and make him work for me for a week, to repay the theft of the pig." And the Master said, "Shall I tell them to do this then, to you?" And the thief pleaded for mercy. The Master then said to the people around him, "Allow him to have the pig. Let him every day look at the guilt that is with him and in time perhaps, he will come and work for repayment of the theft of the pig." And this is what happened."

 How then to End your guilt?

 As the Ascended Master Mother Mary channelled to us recently, "Forgiveness, compassion and self growth make you a more angelic being! Forgiveness is always the most important step. If you don’t learn to forgive, then you carry hatred and pain around with you, influencing this life, negatively and influencing future lives."

Many men and women find it difficult to fully forgive the person who has caused them so much mental and emotional grief or to forgive their own involvement and guilt. Yet this painful weight around their aura, often blocks them making new successful relationships, causes them physical and emotional pain and affects their outlook to life.

We have had many sympathetic channellings from Spirit over the last ten years concerning guilt and forgiveness, particularly to romantic ex-partners.

 Ascended Master Kwan Yin tells us that "Forgive those who have hurt you deeply, for they continue to cause you pain, long after the event and may have even forgotten the deed. You are greater than this. Releasing this old hurt allows you to move forward and upward, like an angel!"

We have devised a simple meditation and Statement of Intent to the Universe. Help us to bring forgiveness and an end to guilt into your own life as well!

We encourage you to personally forgive those who have hurt you in the past or those you have hurt.

Here are some ideas-

Write letters of forgiveness and send them.

Write letters of forgiveness and don't send them. Your intent is still as strong.

Write emails of forgiveness and send them.

Write emails of forgiveness and don't send them. Your intent is still as strong.

Meditate and radiate love to the person who harmed you or you harmed.

Ask forgiveness for your own less honourable deeds.

If possible make amends for past hurtful actions you committed.

Forgiveness Meditation

1) Sit quietly and think of one sad or fearful episode in your life. Try to be objective and see your self as an observer, as well as participant. Ask your angelic guides to help you to forgive, release and forget.

2) Now open your heart with a pink light and send forgiveness to the person involved, (or your negative experience or fear) and yourself.

3) Feel a darkness and burden being lifted from your heart. Mentally, send it to the sun to be destroyed forever.

4) Tell yourself that you release this burden now and forever. The guilt is gone.

5) Now decide to forget about this fear and learn to trust Spirit to help you through this experience.

6) Whenever you think of this fear or person involved in the future, state mentally, "I forgive, I release, I forget, I trust!"

We are sure that this exercise will help you to forgiveness. Practice it often.

As an angel in physical form - you can forgive others. You can start a new life for yourself and you can shake off your old feelings of guilt, fear and hate. This is why you have incarnated - for growth, not stagnation. And if you do not release the situation, you may well create negative karmic circumstances that will have to be worked out in a future life. Release that pain, guilt and resentment now!

Please be gentle, but resolute with yourselves! You can't change the past, but you can make it work for you in a way that empowers you, not weakens you. Again, it is a matter of perspective. You are angelic, you are not a feeble human. You have come here to experience, not be totally safe all your life. You have a Divine Mission to accomplish, don't let guilt problems stop you achieving it! Love yourself and learn again to love others.

Love and Light

Join us on World Forgiveness Day 3^rd March each year and be angelic and forgive those who have hurt you and more important forgive yourself!

The Game of Life

By Master Joachim a commander of the Ashtar fleet and the Grandfather of Jesus.

Blessings to you all, I am your old friend Joachim, come to speak to you again.

For those that do not know me, I am one of the Commanders of Ashtar’s Fleet and I am also, in one of my incarnations, the Biblical figure known as the Grandfather of Jesus. So, I have been to your Earth many times, in many incarnations, so I know human experience.

I would talk tonight of the Game of life. I am sure you have all heard of the expression, "As above, so below". Well, Dear Friends, much of your Spiritual progress can be likened to many of the activities currently on Earth, particularly your games. And I would talk tonight of the game of football. I hope the ladies here, will bear with me!

I am sure you have all been spectators at sometime and perhaps, the males here have also played the game. If you look at a football game, it is very much like your Spiritual life and your physical life. You come onto the field of Earth with a team and so you do, with your Spiritual life. You come down with your Group Soul Members, that have all decided to incarnate to help you to learn lessons, to interact with you. You also, help them learn lessons too!

They may be your children, your parents, your friends, your lovers etc. All part of your Home Town team. But, sometimes and I am sure you have seen this in football matches, even those on your team, can get in your way! They can trip you, they can become jealous, they can steal the ball or want the glory for themselves. And, has this not also happened in your own lives, with those that you have Loved and held dearest to you, have sometimes betrayed you?

And then, you have the opposing team. They are here of free will upon this Earth or upon this playing field, as your enemies. Of course, upon the higher dimensions, they are not your enemies, but have merely come down to play this part, this time around. Because, sometimes you need opposition in your life, to make you look clearly at where you are going, what you are doing, to put obstacles in your pathway. And this is what the opposing football team does. It tries to stop you, to baulk you, it tries to steal the ball, it tries to trip you over and sometimes harm you, but often you can overcome this. For this is what life is about, overcoming the obstacles!

Then you will have the linesmen and the referee. Often these are like your Guardian Angels, your protective spirits around you, even your Higher Self, can perhaps be seen as a great referee, trying to give you guidance, trying to keep you within certain limits, to help you where possible. I am sure, you have observed in football matches, that there is a combination of emotions and mind, of heart and head. But, what normally takes over in a football match, is of course, the emotions!

Your particular team coach may try to raise your emotions and anger against the opposing side and try to get you excited, so that you run faster, that you are more aggressive etc. Have you not found in life, that it is your emotions that often get you into problems? You jump, you leap before you think! Yet, if you were to be on that football field and allow your body to be at its finest, most finely honed, strongest, most athletic and yet, at the same time to use your brains your Mind, how much better would you play the game?

If you were able to rise up above the scene, as you can do when you Astral travel, you could look down on the scene and see, where there are openings for you to take the ball, to make the try, to score the goal! Again, this is what you can do in your Spiritual life, use your Mind to help you, use your Spiritual abilities to help you, to succeed in this game of life!

Just as a football game has a certain amount of time, perhaps 90 minutes to play, so you may have 90 years to work out this particular lifetime, to overcome these obstacles. Just as at the end of that game, you may go off the field, perhaps sometimes holding grudges, feeling bitterness or anger, particularly to the opposing side, sometimes you leave this lifetime, also having grudges and anger and bitterness to others. This is what you would call your Karmic ties.

Often after a game, the coach and the members, will sit and replay the action on your video screens, seeing where you have made mistakes, how you could have improved your play. So it is, when you leave this life and go to higher dimensions. In your mind you will replay all those instances where you felt you had failed and how you could best improve your game, next time around, in the next incarnation on Earth.

But, I say here, Dear Friends, that if, as you are playing the game, you are able to keep your mind alert, if you are able to see above the situation, if you are able to assess your progress on the field, you are a much better player! You can also do this in this lifetime. If you assess daily your mistakes, where you have failed, where you feel you could improve yourself, where you could overcome obstacles, you can go forward into the next part of play, more aware, more knowledgeable. Do not wait to the end of the game, the end of your 90 years, to review this life. Begin to assess it NOW! So that you make stronger and better decisions.

In the end, there is the old saying, that goes, "It does not matter whether you win or lose, its how you play the game!" And so it is with your Spiritual life here, also. You may become powerful, rich and famous and feel that you have succeeded, but if you have been cruel, if you have been greedy and lustful, along the way, if you have fallen down in your moral standards, if you have fallen down in your contact with Spirit, you have not truly succeeded in the game! So Dear Friends, look on this, not as failure or success, but how, each day, you live your life. How truly you become a Spiritual being and then truly the game is a success!

Have you any questions, Dear Friends of me?

Q1. My question is, to what percentage is it possible to connect with Spirit and how is this best done?

A. Well you can make contact 100% if you wish, but of course it must be worked upon. Many people begin by making only a slight contact with Spirit and sometimes they stay there, they stagnate at that point. They think they have made a contact, that there is no more to learn. But Dear Friends, it is like your first day at Kindergarten. You may have come home, some of you, to your parents and said, "Well, I have been. I have seen school. That’s enough, I don’t want to go back!" [Laughter]. I am sure you have heard of many children, feeling this way. So it is, with the first contact with Spirit. Sometimes it is overwhelming, trying. Sometimes it is very inspiring and you think," This is it! I have achieved it!". But of course it is only the first step on a long road.

As you experience Spirit more, as you work more fully with Spirit, throughout your entire life, that is from morning to night and throughout your dream state, even, as you give up more and more of your life to Spirit, not I say in a sacrificial way, not in a way that is making you a martyr, but in a way that enlivens your life, then you find that your percentage grows. Over a period of time, if you work actively at working with Spirit, aiding Humanity, raising your own Light, Spiritual contact will come in more and more and it is possible over a period of time to come to be a 100% connected! Does this help?

Q2. Does this mean that it is in ALL that you do?

A. Yes, ALL that you do. It is as if you are bringing your awareness of your Higher Self body, into your self and even raising above that, so that you bring higher and higher Spiritual contact into you. Having Masters with you, as you would have Dear Friends with you and asking of them, helping them, and helping you as much as possible. Until you, as you would say, travel in a vehicle of Golden Light, wherever you go, whether it be doing the most mundane chores or the most important chores. Blessings Son.

I will leave you then, all Dear Friends. It is always wonderful to speak to you. I know that there will be many obstacles, as you would say, in your game of life. But if you begin to see it as a game, take it not so seriously, see it as you have many, many games before. You return to the Creator and you do have control over that game! That is what is important. Once you see it is a game, once you see that you can detach from it, or you can begin to direct the game, as you wish, then many of the rules fall to the side and you truly can become successful!

Blessings to you all.

I am Joachim.

Friendships

by Mother Mary

Greetings I am Mary, Mother Mary.

At this time, I would like to Discuss the Topic of Friendships. For friendships, have many different meanings. You can be a friend, as you would say, with your parent, with a child, with a partner, a lover or even total strangers. For really in the sight of God, none is separate or strangers, you are all part of the Divine.

Friendship, as I would say, is the free will act of two beings coming together for mutual reasons. It is always hoped that this is done for the Highest, but it is not always, as you understand. For if you see two people coming together, to plot shall we say a robbery, this is not as you would say for the Highest, but for those beings it is an exercise that they wish to perform and because of free will, in most cases, it is allowed to happen. Should it be against such a being, as a shop keeper, it could be seen from above, that it is the repaying of Karma. Because, in a previous life the shop keeper was the thief, and now it is time to level the books, to clean the slate of all ties and connections. For in life, particularly this life, it is important that all Karmic ties, debts are repaid and any blocks that are connected to any of your Chakras are cleaned and those acts against you are forgiven.

In the words of your Lords Prayer, " I shall forgive those that have trespassed against me." But also, that no negative thought patterning is held onto by either party. This is typically why they have come together. But on a more positive note, it is through free will that beings come together to create friendship. For friendships truly need nurturing, like a young shrub growing in your garden. For without water, some soil and really some love and affection, it will not grow to its full potential. It is just the same with friendships. They may be on many levels and too many different depths. For really you would not call the bar tender a deep friend, in most cases. But he is a friend when you are upon his premises. But also, you would not call a close partner, a casual friend, I hope. For each has many different layers and many different meanings.

Because of the complexity of your Life plans and your World plan, many different people, beings, will synchronisticaly appear and some may disappear upon your Life's journey. These people, those of significance to yourself, have come together at different times, to work through different situations, to repay Karmic debts etc. As I previously mentioned, during past lifetimes you may have been friends and you wish to continue that or you may have been more intimate - you may have been lovers and married. The complexity and the depth will depend upon the amount of Light that is created between your union. I do not always mean a sexual union, but I do mean the sending of Light and the receiving of Light that you give one another, during your meetings as friends.

For all friendships need to be nurtured. For when you meet some people, you may feel even as Light workers, a little uneasy. You may feel that they are totally different from yourself. They are perhaps emotional people, when you are a thinking type person or the opposite, it does not matter. I would suggest that you try not to draw a barrier or a wall around yourself initially, when you meet these different people. Send unconditional love to them and get to know that person, for with many people the more you get to know them, the deeper you delve into the friendship, the more growth is made and the brighter it blossoms.

Should a friendship only last for a small duration of time, perhaps only several meetings, several weeks or several months, it does not matter. It is hoped by Spirit that both have gained by it, from the mutual friendship. It is hoped that no negative Karma, especially, is created by these beings and with their separation, each sends love and Light to the other being. They should continue to progress in their own Light and in their own life, with a clearer, better and higher understanding of all people, of all friendships, all different types.

For we in Spirit do not judge any of those beings on the different levels, for we wish to be like the Divine also, seeing all Spirits as the same and equal in the sight of the Divine. For during a friendship, initially, you never know on what adventures it may take you, to what depth it will evolve to and to what lessons will be learned. Please try not to draw lines or place upon these other beings, your own expectations, frustrations, worries or blocks of any sort. For you have not lived their lives nor their past and who are you to judge their actions? That is all I will say on that matter, now do you have any questions at this time?

Q1. Would you say that most great friendships in your life are Karmic?

A.. No, not always, it depends upon many different aspects. Many may be Karmic, Karmic ties with past lives connections, friendships from the same planetary source etc. It is very difficult to say, the one is above the other. For in this life time, as with all others, sometimes you ask that new people, new beings will come into your life to help you expand your consciousness, to try and see life from their angle. So if you initially shut off this relationship, build a wall between yourself and this other being, you will not gain from this, as if you had allowed it to flourish, if that is possible, if you are compatible, for then you have brought in a new aspect, you have widened your horizons and this is growth, and this is good.

Q2. If you met some one and you dislike being in their presence should you try to overcome this?

A. Yes, most certainly. Some of those that can contact their own Higher Selves and or Spirit directly, you may ask, "Is there a Karmic debt to be repaid?" You could ask," What have I done to this person to this being, in the past?" Ask, "Why do I feel this negative vibration, to this being?" And in most cases, we will reply with a suitable answer. I would suggest, as I have already stated, that you do not automatically draw a line or build a wall between yourself and the other being. Try to get to know them and see from what perspective they are coming. This is the best.

Q3. There are some people, even those you spend time in their presence, that they never seem to overcome their blocks, so they wear you down emotionally. So is there a cutoff point, at when you can decide to move on and leave them?

A. Yes, it is worthy question, I would say, do not give your Light to those that are hungry for the Light. You could visualise yourself in an Auric egg and not allowing Light to be drawn off you, to feed their hunger. This is why with some people you will feel emotionally drained, for they are drawing your Light from you and depleting it. Which can have the affect of making you tired etc. If when you have met another person and you have got to know them and have gone further into the friendship, but now it can not be sustained or for any reason, problems can not be overcome,( I realise that you cannot be friends with everyone, for there are many different types of being upon the planet), I would suggest in a gentle manner, that you allow this friendship to gently filter away. Send that person Love and Light and wish them the best, but do not hold onto negative aspects, that you feel towards this person.

You may ask Spirit what lessons you have learnt and look back upon yourself and see what you have learned from that person. Use it on many levels, for many different purposes. Even if it is a friendship that will not develop into a life long commitment of friendship.

Q4. I have many friends around the world and I feel at night in my dreams I visit them, is this possible?

A. Yes, during your sleep state and in your meditations, you do as they say, astrally travel. This is why on your wakening some mornings, you feel quite tired, that you have done a nights work, - for really you have! You have most probably been to many places, during that night. To many different dimensions and perhaps to many different planetary systems. Depending upon the tasks that you have asked to do, during your sleep state.

It is very easy to astrally travel to different regions of the world. For thought, to astral travel is extremely fast and the short distances that are involved are covered very quickly. Yes, on the higher dimension, you meet up, prearranged meetings with these other spirits, to discuss different matters, to strengthen the friendships, to do work together, to do many different things. It is a worthy cause and a cheap way to keep in contact, shall we say!

If you wish upon retiring to bed, if you wish to visit someone in particular, during your prayers, you might like to ask that your Higher Self, help to connect you with that being, to ease the way, as we say, to make the necessary arrangements etc. So that more time can be spent together and if it is a rather touchy subject that needs to be discussed, that part of the way can be paved. In most cases they are more receptive to the meeting to discuss sensitive issues. Yes, it is very appropriate.

Q5. May I ask, does this work with persons that have "passed over"?

A. Yes, it is slightly different, for they are always spirit, they are not so much third dimensional, they are in spirit. But yes, it is possible. Again ask and in most cases you shall receive.

Thank you very much.

If that is all, I shall now depart. But I would just like to recap, very quickly - that friendships need nurturing, they need constant attention and they need Light to grow.

Blessings to you, my child.

I am Mother Mary.

THE ANSWER TO EVERY QUESTION, IS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!

By Mother Mary

"I have been asked countless millions of questions, over many millenniums. Questions concerning religion; questions concerning death and life; questions concerning health, family and love. If you can think of any possible question - I have the answer. The answer is always LOVE, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!

What do I mean by Unconditional Love, as opposed to romantic love, mother love, sisterly love, fatherly love and love of country? I mean a special all encompassing Greater Love that embraces all people, all animals, all planets and all things. An Unconditional Love that does not separate beings from one another - by gender, race, status or religion. This Unconditional Love shouts to the world - "I love everyone and everything! Everyone is my brother, my sister, my equal, my soul mate. Everything comes from God! Everything is Spirit! How can I not love everything that is made of Spirit?"

Here are some frequently asked questions with the same answer every time - Unconditional Love. Is your own special, personal question amongst them?

Q. I can't get on with a person at work. What do I do about it?

A. Send her Unconditional Love. It will change the vibration between you to a better one. Look at why she upsets you? Can you learn from this?

Q. I was brought up to dislike people who aren't Christians. Is this right?

A. You can't pretend that you are practicing Unconditional Love, if you only love those of your own religion. Doesn't Jesus's parable of the Good Samaritan suggest that you should honour and love all people?

Q. My parents taught me to fear people of other races. I feel this is wrong. How do I overcome this?

A. To be Unconditionally Loving you must disregard the colour of people's skin and different culture. If you fear something, confront it! Go out and meet these different races with a smile on your face. You will soon discover that they are just like you!

Q. Surely men are superior to women? I'm just not totally convinced. I've met some really strong women. What is the answer?

A. Again, get to know many women, strong and weak. Forget their gender and look into their hearts and minds. You have been a woman in a past life and possibly future incarnation. Do you not love yourself? Become an Unconditional Loving, non-sexist person.

Q. How do I get to really like myself. I feel I've done some pretty bad things?

A. If you can forgive others the same crimes, then with Unconditional Love, forgive yourself. However, learn from the experience and do not repeat the same errors.

Q. I can't forgive my father who abused me as a child. What do I do?

A. Send him Unconditional Love, at a distance. One day your hatred will turn to Unconditional Love and you may be able to forgive him in person. This is the more angelic way to act.

Q. How do I get people to like me?

A. Treat them with Unconditional Love. Smile, be pleasant, listen to their troubles and stories and do not judge them. Share who you truly are with them! Be likable, in order to be liked.

Q. I'd like to do some good with my life. I just don't know what to do. Any clues?

A. Think of what most excites you and which benefits others. What are your skills? Now use them with Unconditional Love to help others. Ask for Divine guidance.

Q. I'm on heavy drugs and don't know what to do about it. Help!

A. Use Unconditional Love on yourself. Think of who you would like to become. The Highest version of your self. Now strive to become this. Accept help from others and Spirit. Believe in yourself. This is a task you asked for, to overcome. Be brave enough to challenge it!

Q. My partner of six years just walked out on me and I feel pretty hurt and vengeful. What should I do about it?

A. Forgive your partner with Unconditional Love. He has actually done you a big favour by leaving, as he was not your Twin Flame. Now you are free, search for your Twin Flame, by becoming all the qualities that you wish in him.

Q. My country is at war with another. Should I hate these "enemies"?

A. War breeds hate. No good comes from hate. It debases all it touches. Instead devote yourself to Unconditional Love and make friends with your enemies. Understand them and their grievances and learn to love not hate!

Q. I can't forgive my mother who left me, when I was a kid. It's made me wary of loving others. What's the answer?

A. Unconditional Love is the answer. Forgive your mother. She is human like you and therefore fallible. You make mistakes, so does she. Love her again and you will learn to love and welcome others, into your life.

Q. My best friend has just told me that he's gay. How should I react to this?

A. With Unconditional Love. He has been honest with you and trusted you with his deep inner most feelings. Respect that trust. Treat him like a friend.

Q. I want to get promotion at work and I know something bad about someone who is also up for a higher position. Do I tell my boss?

A. If you do fall prey to your most negative urgings, you will never know if you got the promotion on merit or only malice. Besides, you will have this done to you one day in return, as karma. Treat your opponent with Unconditional Love. You may one day be surprised, at where this leads!

Q. My parents always gave my brother more love and attention. Now he needs my help. What should I do?

A. Help him, of course. Do not be petty. You are greater than this! Help him with Unconditional Love. Be angelic, not piggish!

Q. A "so called friend" who hurt me badly wants me to forgive her as she is dying of cancer. I don't want to forgive her, but am not sure if this is right. Your comment please?

A. Forgive her with Unconditional Love. Open up your heart. Her negative actions have hurt you far too much. Release them, now!

Q. I am very lonely and retired. How can I meet new friends?

A. To get a friend, be a friend. Look around you, who needs help? Who needs Unconditional Love? Supply it. You will create friends for life!

Q. I have always been the "good one" who gave up everything for others. Now I want my share. How do I go about it?

A. "Good Ones" also need Unconditional Love from themselves and others. Expect love and help. But don't demand it. Instead keep spreading your Unconditional Love and a helping hand, but make time for yourself. You are worthy of love too!

Q. I fear life and the unknown. Help!

A. This incarnation should be a great adventure, not a frightening experience. Don't fear life, embrace it! Use your talents with Unconditional Love to help others. Be braver than you are and you will soon enjoy being here!

Q. How can there be a God when there is so much suffering in the world?

A. God allows us all freewill to create our own personal and planetary world. We create the inequality and suffering and therefore we are given the tools and gifts to change these situations for the better. We can choose to wail about it or begin to do something about the misery, we have created. I ask you to raise your own Unconditional Loving nature and start to help others who are less fortunate. Make a difference. Find and use your own God power within.

Q. My friends think we should make fun of a strange girl in our class, who doesn't fit in. What do you think?

A. Imagine that you were that unfortunate girl. How would you like to be treated? With Unconditional Love or ridicule? Be angelic, become her friend not her enemy!

Q. I'm intimidated by anyone in authority. How can I overcome this?

A. See others, as being like yourself, - insecure and small children playing at being adults in control. You are the equal of these people. On one level, we are all the same, all angels. If you were an angel would you be intimidated by another angel? No! Treat them with Unconditional Love not fear.

Q. I'm greatly attracted to someone else who may be my soul mate, but my husband is cramping my style. What do you think?

A. You can't build a wonderful, positive relationship from something as negative as lust for another and disrespect for your husband. Twin Flame relationships are not built in this way! Give all concerned, Unconditional Love. Sort out your relationships in a caring way, then try again!

Q. I am a very phobic and sensitive person. How do I get to be more normal?

A. By treating yourself with Unconditional Love. Phobias often come from unresolved emotional blocks. Find someone professional to help you confront and release these negative blocks. Learn to trust in the Universe and start to use your inner gifts to help others. There is nothing wrong with being sensitive, but use your sensitivity for the good of others, not merely self interest!

Q. This talk of aliens, the Greys etc. frightens me. How can I overcome this fear?

A. Treat aliens and the thought of them, with Unconditional Love. They are, on a higher level - angels like you, who have lost their way. Protect yourself psychically from them by surrounding yourself in a brilliant blue light and call on Lord Michael for help, when afraid. Think of life as an adventure not a curse!

Q. This nation's economy is based on hard work and enterprise. I've done well financially. Why should I care about starving kids overseas. Isn't this their karma?

A. Your karma may be to help them overcome their destitution, by helping them financially and with Unconditional Love. Share your good luck and hard work with others! This is the higher way to love and live!

Q. Surely sexuality is natural, like breathing. Why shouldn't I have multiple partners?

A. You have the freewill to do with your body, as you wish. But are you engaging in promiscuity for love or inner compulsive need? Find out the difference and treat yourself with Unconditional Love.

Q. I believe in the death penalty for major crimes. What's wrong with this?

A. Well, a person who kills another is a murderer, whether it is state sanctioned or not, and must pay the karma on this. If you find out afterwards that the condemned killer was not guilty, how can you redress the crime? You can't. A harsh society promotes capital punishment. A society which lives in Unconditional Love, creates a nobler, more loving, peaceful society. Your choice!

Q. I hate murderers, rapists and child molesters. This can't be wrong, can it?

A. I suggest that you hate the acts, but not the people involved! Believe it or not, these unfortunate people are often like you, loving to others and good citizens. They have mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters too! Far better if our society learnt to spot the emotional blocks in such people, early in life and helped reeducate them in an Unconditionally Loving manner.

Q. I love my immediate family unconditionally. Why do I have to love others too?

A. I feel, that you are loving your family conditionally, not unconditionally. You love your mother because she loves you. You help your sister because she helps you out, in turn. If they despised you, you would not love them. This is conditional human love. Unconditional Love is the emotion and act of loving others, who you don't even know or even like! This is an angelic, higher love. Embrace it!

I send you my Unconditional Love and I send you my Light.

Mother Mary.

TEN DAILY TASKS THAT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!

By Mother Mary

"My Dear Children you ask me for higher tasks that you can do each day that will enrich your life, raise your spiritual light and help others to do the same. I am happy to help you with this generous request! Here are ten things that you can do every day, to achieve these noble ends and they cost nothing! All they take is inner commitment, a kind heart, a sensible mind and a little effort. Blessings to you, for you have these 4 personal assets in plenty!

1. Each day, treat everyone that you encounter - friend, family, stranger or even enemy, with unconditional love, fair consideration and trust. No one is truly a stranger, on one level we are all one!

2. Each day, try to help someone with a special favour or treat. Carry a load for a stranger, open a door courteously, compliment a work mate. Make the favor varied and as unusual as possible. Make a personal game of it!

3. Contribute something to a good cause. This may be as simple as sending an email to an organisation who is trying to help humanity or offering your time and effort to a higher charity such as Green Peace, Amnesty International or World Vision. Choose a charity that appeals to your heart!

4. Look at the special talents and gifts that you have incarnated with that are unusual, artistic and caring. If you are an artist, today begin to paint the beauty of Gaia or a spiritual uplifting theme. If you are a musician compose a song to raise the Light in all peoples of the Earth! Discover your gift and offer it to others!

5. Contact Spirit today! Learn to contact your angelic guides, the Ascended Masters, teacher Guides and Archangels. This website has free lessons on these! Ask for spiritual help and it will be given!

6. Meditate daily for at least 15 minutes. It is said that "Prayer is you talking to God, while meditation is the opportunity for God to talk back!" Listen with your inner ears!

7. Heal someone today! Send healing Light from your heart and out through your palms of your hands to anyone that you know is ill. Animals too! You are a healer!

8. Think positively at all times. It is a wonderful planet and you are given many unique opportunities to live a blessed life. Don't choose negativity! Positive people change conditions around them for the better!

9. When situations happen that you don't like, look for the real reason behind them. Everything occurs for a reason, both sad and happy situations! You have asked for lessons to happen, so that you can grow as a person and angel being. Don't dismiss them, learn by them!

10. Act like an Ascended Master every day. Be kind, gentle, calm, graceful, happy, fulfilled, generous, loving and tolerant. On a higher level, you are these virtues.

Why act less than you truly are!

Ten little tasks that if you all performed daily, would change the world!

LOVE AND WILL

Answered by Lady Kwan Yin

Q. Can you tell us how to get the balance between love and will?

A. If you think of your will as being located in your solar plexus chakra and as you would say, love being in the heart chakra, then they are often in competition with each other, particularly on this Earth plane. As people try, as you say, in many ways to make others love them, to fall in with their expectations or, somehow through love to impose their will upon others, or in other words, have you not heard the words often - "If you loved me you would do this for me!" Is that not often a gambit - that love is used upon each other and others would use their will, to make others love them to do things for them. So it is a constant fight that has gone on for countless thousands of years, if you would like to put it that way, between the solar plexus and the heart. Even longer on this dimension!

The way to balance them is often to fall even lower, to fall down to the hara which is located, as you would say, midway between your pelvic chakra and your solar plexus chakra. In the hara there is no great emotion, whether it be the emotion of dominance to power or the emotion of conniving love, as I would call it or conditional love. In the hara there is just peace. This is a nice little minor chakra for you to fall down to, a secondary chakra, I believe you would call it, in order that, for a while, the demands of the body and the mind and the emotions are left behind.

If you practiced free falling down to this area, when your heart is upset, when you are emotionally upset or when that feeling of power of dominance or submission are very strong in your life, then you will find peace. Then you will be able to come up to these other chakras and look at them, as you would say, in a very analytical way, saying, "Do I truly need to be dominant to others around me?" Then you will be able to come up to the heart and say, "Do I truly need to have conditions put upon my love? "

"Is it not enough, that I send out love and knowing that the universe normally returns what is sent out, that love will come to me!". This is the way to do it, dear friends, to, as you would say, disconnect for a while - then to come up and to be able to look dispassionately, and with detachment, at what is happening there. And also, to say, always in every action you do, "Is this for my highest spiritual intent?"

This is what many people forget. They say they are Light Workers, they say they want spirituality in their life. For each decision that occurs in their life - instead of asking - is this for my highest spiritual intent? They just react emotionally or mentally. If you say is this for my highest spiritual intent, then you do not try to dominate others, nor do you become overly submissive, nor do you try to have conditional love in your life. You look at what will best progress you as a spiritual being, rather than as a physical being. Do these little tips, as you would say, help you dear ones?

I will now depart. Please think upon my words. What you send out, comes back to you - remember that. If you are too dominant, then indeed, you will be dominated yourself, if not in this lifetime, in the next. If you send out too many conditions with your love, then that is what you will draw to you, lovers that also have conditions on their love. Send out unconditional love where you can and work from the highest and all will be fine in your life.

Blessings to you - I am Kwan Yin.

Self Realisation (Enlightenment)

Q. Is self-realisation as a life purpose, superior to any other life goals or purposes?

A. Dear Ones, it should be equal to your helping humanity - they both should be in balance. Self-realisation or enlightenment, as you could call it, means helping humanity to also reach the same higher spiritual goal. Some people feel that by speeding ahead to their own self-enlightenment, they will then be able to return and help others in the process and this is can be so. But if you look at the great leaders on your Earth plane, such as Buddha, or Jesus, or Mahavira, what many of them have done, is to at the same time, while striving for enlightenment in their own life, influenced those around them to also lift themselves up to the Light - to also become enlightened.

And it is said that it was also a promise of Buddha that he would not ascend into heaven, until the last person on Earth was enlightened. So you see, the two chores go hand in hand. Each of you here on Earth, has the purpose of becoming enlightened and this is available to all of you. At the same time, enlightenment normally comes with an expansion of the heart chakra which is unconditional love and this cannot normally be achieved, until you place humanity on the same level as you and truly become one with all humanity. So yes, they are equally important, my dear.

POVERTY AND SPIRITUALITY

Q. You may ask me, how can a person who lives in poverty be spiritual, when their life is so harsh?

A. Each person chooses before birth a life plan that contains many lessons, such as who will they have as parents, where will they live, how wealthy will they be, what gender will they be, this time around.

Because you are all so brave and confident on the higher realms (Heaven) you often choose to have great challenges in life presented to you. Some of these challenges concern finances, freedom restrictions, power restrictions or gender problems. This is not to suggest that if you are a poor, uneducated woman in a Third World or struggling country that you should just "accept your lot!" No! The challenge you have set for yourself is to now find a compassionate, higher way of getting out of that situation, into one which is fulfilling on all levels.

Believe me you have all chosen solutions to your dilemmas, whether those problems be poverty or lack of power. But you will have to sit down and seriously make a long term plan, to escape from your situation with dignity and power.

If you are a powerless person, one of the first things you can seriously plan is - not to marry early and have matrimonial restrictions and responsibilities placed on you. In the same way, you can plan to not have children, until you are financially stable and self fulfilled in your life. You have only a certain limit of energy to expend on your project, don't fritter it away!

You can also apply yourself to study to gain qualifications, save what little money you have for the future and explore every avenue open to you, to raise yourself economically and create self motivation in your life. Find others who have similar aims and use their positivity to project you forward! But, remember, this is something only you can do, no-one else can do this for you.

Too many people dream of riches, power etc. but don't work towards this or are unwilling to give up other things for this aim. Now, I am not saying that financial security or power are the best things in life. Your spirituality is my major concern, your connection with Spirit, your soul's growth. So I would like to stress that all progress on these issues of poverty and self fulfillment, must be made by compassionate, caring, kind, honest, and highest intent. To make financial security through negative means, such as selfishness, crime or lack of morals, is not the way and in fact may cause you greater pain!

Ask Spirit to help you make a well rounded life. One where your soul is joyously alive, your body healthy, your mind well balanced and your emotions stable. Tell your angelic guides, just what you want to happen in your life - be specific - vague comments such as "be happy", "have more" etc aren't good enough, plan!

Now begin actively working towards creating the lifestyle you want! Be determined, be aware and I promise, if you do this with good intent, you will be helped! Your life truly, is in your own hands. You can choose a poor spirited, financially insecure life or a life full of interest, choices, emotional and spiritual wealth and financial security - just do it, NOW! Spirit does care!

And hopefully, as you make a success of your own life in a loving, honest, self empowered manner, you will be an inspiration for others to do the same!

Love and Blessings to you all

Sananda.
