The first thing we would say about you humans living upon earth is that there are many of you who want to live in the spiritual realm who have incarnated many times, not just from this human life but from other high spiritual levels, and you so want your earth to be as higher evolved beings live their life and what life is like in heaven, but you have not yet achieved this. You on earth have one of the most beautiful places in all of the universe to live and you are so terribly destructive to your mother earth. We would say that part of your evolution is to learn how to live and make your life convenienient and easy and harmonious. But to do it with the harmony of working with mother earth and not being destructive to her.

Those who are of the highest spiritual planes upon your earth understand that earth is a school and understand that you are to come here to learn lessons and understand that earth is not meant to be heaven. There are those who have not quite reached that spiritual evolution, but who have attained a much higher spiritual evolution than the masses of your earth, and these individuals would love to see life be treated on earth as it is in heaven and have not reached the level of spiritual wisdom to know that earth life will never be heaven life and that the whole purpose of earth life is for spirit souls to come and learn lessons.

 Earth can have a higher spiritual consciousness

But even though earth life can never be like heaven life, it can evolve to a much higher spiritual consciousness than it is now experiencing. To do this one really begins with their own individual self and that is to learn self love, self forgiveness, self acceptance and self worth. For without these, many of the things that you tend to do and help in others are nothing but a way to evade the lessons that you have really come here to learn and you have not learned to do this. But we are not saying there is anything wrong with help that you give to others, it is a way for you to not put the time into learning of self. If you on earth could only learn the lessons of acceptance, forgiveness, to live a life without fear and anger, and to know about love and compassion in everything that you do. If you can learn to feel that love and that compassion, that acceptance, that each and every one of you have come from a different perspective and have different lessons to learn from that perspective on earth, your earth would be a much more harmonious, peaceful, flourishing environment for everybody. For you as humans, especially in your country of the U.S.A., excess is an everyday way of life for the majority of people. Even those who appear to be quite poor still have more than many of the people in other parts of the world who have nothing.

 All objects on earth deserve respect

You on earth have not learned to live together as one unit. You have not learned to accept and respect the individuality of each person upon earth, whether it is within your own country or in other countries. Respect is something that should be given to every living creature. Therefore, respect is something that everything upon earth should have the vibrational energies of, whether it be from a blade of grass, snowflakes, animals, humans--whatever it is, you are all created by the same God. And if you would learn to have respect for each individual item/creature upon earth then you would begin to see the respect turned around to you far more than it does now.

The Creator created such a beautiful planet and hoped the humans living there would respect and help maintain such a place. Because humans have free will they are not living responsibly on earth. They are very destructive to mother earth and other creatures living there.

Man did evolve from a simpler form of life and you can in this day and age see the likeness between yourselves and your forebearers within the apes and gorilla families. You had a great deal of assistance from other planets also in your development to where you have become much more highly developed than your original forebearers were.

We do not believe that the Creator was so much interested in the physical form as in the inner growth of His/Her creation. But with much reincarnating, much evolution and much assistance from other beings on other planets, you have evolved into one of the most beautiful beings on all of the planets that exist. Now, we wish that inwardly you could be the most loving and accepting and forgiving beings in all creation but we know at this point you are not. And the Creator was hoping to see you evolve more in line spiritually as you have evolved more in line physically and feels a great sadness that this has not yet occurred.

 Moderation

You on earth abuse your bodies terribly, either through drugs or through alcohol, through excess eating, and smoking. You abuse your body, which is truly a temple that houses your soul and your spirit. If only you could learn to do everything in moderation upon earth as far as eating and exercising, and the compulsions you have on earth, if you could just learn to have moderation, you would all manifest your life lessons with much more ease and much more harmony. But especially in your country you tend to be excessive in all aspects of life. It is not necessary that you have to live a strict daily ritual of diet and exercise and meditation. Moderation again is the word here and what works for each individual. But do not get lost along your path to spiritual evolution and higher vibrational energies, do not get lost along that path, that life has to have so many rituals before you begin to become a validated individual along that path. We would think that you can learn to do and be healthy in many ways and being over-excessive in one area and not so in another does not give you balance. There is moderation in everything that you do in your life, moderation to your exercise, moderation to your eating.

 Being overweight often does not reflect balance in life

The majority of people, especially in your country, are extremely overweight. And that is because they have not been able to find themselves, and the gratification they get is in the food they eat. And their inability to have a higher physical level of energy is something that blocks them from being able to move into higher levels of spirituality because they are not honoring themselves. We will say that there are many people in your country who have larger bodies and do exercise and who are moderate in their eating and it is just their physical makeup to be on the heavier side, but they have balance in their life, they have balance in their self-love, their self-acceptance, they have balance in their friendships, they have balance in their diet and balance in their exercise. And the word that we are trying to get at here is balance. It is not over excessive indulgence in one side or the other side but to have a balance. So, just because you see a person who you would term over-weight doesn't necessarily mean they are, because they have balance in their life, so they're not being self-destructive We are not talking about the extremely obese individuals on your earth because we know that their indulgence does not have a balance to it.

 How humans can contribute to global spiritual evolution

Each of you as individuals will ask--what is it? What can I do? How can I participate in this spiritual evolution of not only myself but of many others? You first can begin by not judging, you can begin by not being fearful, and by forgiving. These are things that each individual person can do in their own life and then expand that out beyond their life, to their circle of friends, to their town, to their county, to their state, to their United States government, to their world, and then on out to the universe and beyond. It is a lesson in infinity and you can become a part of that infinity by sending out your higher vibrational energies of love and unconditional acceptance and prayer--and knowing that there is one power and all of you are from this one power.

It is very difficult for you on earth to understand that as you give, you receive back. And so whatever you give out in your thoughts, not just in material things, but in your thoughts and your emotions--what you give out towards other individuals is going to come around back to you in another form or another low-level energy. And so, it is very important for you on earth to look at your own thoughts, to look at your own actions and especially to look at your own words because you can truly understand the experiences in your own life by hearing your own words.

Your world right now is faced with much activities towards terrorism and towards war and it is a very complicated issue for us in the spiritual world to be able to share with you on earth, because in the spiritual world we know there is no such things as war and hatred and anger and fear and distrust. There are no such things as terrorism or destructiveness towards yourself or others. But those are things on your earth that you were brought here to learn the lessons of.

 Living your life

So, right now just to reflect back is to say, that you on your earth, if you could just learn to have balance in your life, if you could have more compassion and forgiveness and if you could be more considerate and respectful to your mother earth and not be so concerned with losing conveniences and having the easy way out all the time--you would find that within yourselves you would first begin to feel a shift in your life and then you would see that same shift evolving out to those closest to you and then eventually evolving out having an effect upon your whole earth. Do not forget though that earth is a place for you to come to to learn these lessons. You learn these lessons at a much faster pace or evolution than you would in heaven because you do not have all the earth experiences in heaven as you do have in your human life. So embrace this learning process that you are going through on earth and continue to turn within and ask your spirit guides about the lessons you are learning about, what you should learn about feeling your own feelings, about feeling your own emotions.

Become aware of the joys, become aware of the anxieties, and question them. Do not just let them hang there in your life--question them. And when you feel pleasure and joy, look and see what the pleasure and joy is, because it is beyond the visual or audio or touching that you have, it has something to do that goes deep within you. And look and see where it is coming from and do not forget to give thanks for all those joys and for all the lessons you are learning. And you can make the choice to learn your lessons the hard way or the easier way and it is up to you as how you choose on earth to look at it.

We are not sure if this question means do they evolve spiritually in a human realm as well as a spiritual realm? In a human realm, to continue to evolve spiritually one needs to make their spiritual life their priority life, to be in meditation, to move beyond the shackles of their three-dimensional world, to study, to ask for guidance and to live their life in such a manner. Many times what prevents any human being from moving beyond their current spiritual consciousness level is because of one of the biggest human restraints, the feeling of fear--fear of the unknown, fear of not being good enough, fear of being laughed at, fear of not being accepted. That will keep you from moving and advancing in your spiritual life more than anything. In your spirit life, you do continue to evolve spiritually by looking at all your past lifetimes, at the lessons that you have learned and the lessons you have not learned and to be prepared to return to earth to live the next reincarnation in trying to, so-to-speak, get an "A" in earth school. And acknowledging what motivates you and what holds you back from your higher spiritual journey and to work with and overcome whatever the restrictions are. It is your responsibility and cannot be learned by you unless you are willing to do whatever is necessary to let go of those restrictions.

 We would consider life a reality as much as possible because it is a phase that your spirit soul goes through and the reality of what you do with life on earth or others follows through with you into your spirit life. So, how could you say that it is just an illusion when the choices that you make move with you into your spirit world? We just find that this would be an extremely long discussion to have with individuals because of the conflict of life on earth and spirit life and those who believe that life is just an illusion. It is just another part of your spirit life that is moving into a faster way of raising your consciousness, so we believe that this could be a debate that would go on for a very long time but we consider the life experiences to be real. Life itself is an illusion but the life experiences are real for they help you to evolve at a much faster pace as we

When an infant is birthed, actually even before an infant is birthed, as it is being carried in the human body the spirit guide is there to continue to help it understand that it is moving again into a physical form and that, though for quite some time it will be in a physical form, it will still have this very direct connection with its spirit form. And the spirit guide is there to help it gradually become consciously disconnected from its spirit form and move into the fullness of its human form.

 Spirit experience before birth

Before its birth it is still experiencing its spirit life, moving into another form. It is beginning to feel certain physical restrictions that it does not feel as a spirit. It is beginning to feel life connected in a more solid form than it did not feel as a spirit. It maintains its connection to its own spirit life though it begins to decrease. But until it's about two years old, a child is still connected, fairly strongly, with its spirit world and knowledge of the spirit world. It feels a complete restriction once it has moved into its own life versus growing within the womb and it at birth feels a complete physical restriction that it had not known until that time. As it continues until about two years old it is connected to a strong love bond. Infants who are born into abusive families even as infants are extremely confused because they have not understood about the lack of love and caring because it still has this other connection. We would say that though an infant is physically abused it has a spiritual support and connection that an adult or older child would not have.

The spirit is almost fully occupied in the body from birth but it does not lose its full connection to its spirit being and its spirit life until about two years old.

Most definitely so. It is beginning a transition period. It is not like death. It does not happen instantaneously, where in death, it moves from the body instantaneously. As it becomes a new soul, it is experiencing the gradual restrictions of a body and the growth of moving from spirit into a human body. And it is being guided and given an understanding from a spirit guide, a spirit teacher, from what it will be going through and then at birth and oftentimes after birth it will feel this, though it does not really leave the body, it is able to fully feel and experience what the spirit world was.

 Soul creation

We will try to describe what we think you are asking about. The transformation from spirit to human is the aspect of a new soul, a new personality, a new ego being created. And as this soul is evolving during the pregnancy stage, that is how the humanness is being created. And the consciousness of spirit moving from spirit form into human form, and though spirit is always who you are and is always with you, it is not in a conscious form as your soul is. And your soul is the makeup of your humanness.

When the spirit decides it is going to be that human, the soul begins its development then even at the beginning of conception.

Yes. For the soul is the beginning of the birth of the human and the spirit will eventually become around, as we have said many times, at two years old--become the subconscious connection to the human but never leaves it.

 Birthmarks

Yes. The reason that this is done is because again this is generally a spirit that has evolved to a higher consciousness level and this is part of the spiritual teachings that it will help bring to those on earth.

A child essentially after the age of 3 has lost all but a very strong conscious contact-- direct contact--with heaven and life on the other side. So that when a child after 3 crosses over, their meeting on the other side--they are often met with many loved ones who are there even though they were gone for a short period of time. They have lost that strong initial contact of what life really was and so these young human souls are going to return to heaven with a greeting from many angels and many loved ones and after a period of time will move back into its original soul form with all of its energies from all lifetimes that are there in its spirit form and will move from its soul to its spirit form and will continue life not as an infant but as the mature spirit that it has become through many incarnations.

When a soul returns to heaven into its spirit form, the number of incarnations does not necessarily have anything to do with its level of spiritual consciousness. The soul moves into its spirit form and could have had many, many incarnations but not have learned the lessons as quickly as other soul spirits who have had fewer incarnations but who have learned their lessons at a much quicker pace. So it does not matter how many incarnations a soul has gone through as much as it means what they have learned when they have been reincarnated.

 There are many different energy fields that completely and always surround any individual at all times. One could be on the path, seeking their past lives, so they are very connected with that energy field and choose to move into it and seek the answers of past lives. There are those who have absolutely no belief and no connections whatsoever and who live rather lower-level consciousness experiences in their current human lifetime. And yet an event can happen that will jolt them, move them, accelerate them into a higher consciousness level and they will touch another dimension and will see such an experience. That can often be just an instantaneous experience or it can oftentimes be an experience that will continue for the rest of their current life on earth. There are many explanations. You on earth always are looking for the simplest, most concrete understanding of events, and it does not happen the way that you live your life in such a three-dimensional world expect it to happen.

 Children who may be bad seeds

Is there actually a bad seed that is born? We would say that this is a very difficult question to answer for there appears to be children who come into this earth, those who you would say were bad seeds, who are often spirits who made the wrong choice in coming to earth in the time they reincarnated. They are oftentimes children who are born into families of extreme distress, extreme anger, and to use your earth words, extreme dysfunctional environment. They feel, as they are in the mother's womb, all of these events taking place but had hoped that they would be able to be strong enough to overcome such earth energies. Once they are born they realize that after a very short period of time this is not going to happen. They have picked up enough of the anger energies within the environment they are moving into to only know that that is the only thing they are experiencing.

This happens at an extremely early time in an infant's life, so as that infant continues to develop it has nothing but the anger to develop from. And when you think that you are seeing a bad seed it is not because the soul spirit that incarnated was bad when it incarnated. It's just that it has never been given any opportunity in that incarnation to experience the joy and the love of what life can really be because it is continuously surrounded by such dysfunctional negative energy. As we would say the case was with the boys in Littleton, Colorado. These are very troubled souls on earth and continue through that experience in their youth until they are given an opportunity to see that there are other energies out there in life that they have a choice to experience or not experience.

 Children with extreme physical and mental disabilities

To those children who come to earth who are suffering from extreme physical and mental disabilities, they have made that choice. Some are fully aware of their physical discomfort but generally speaking those that have the mental disabilities do not often experience from the same emotional feeling levels that other humans do, and so are therefore void of many of the energies and thought processes that those of you on earth "that are normal" experience and therefore find a simpler and easier way of life within their own disability. Though they will appear to be extremely mentally and physically disabled, there is another part within them that is moving forward at a very high evolutionary experience. You will often see such experiences in savants or you will see this in those who appear to be slow but are extremely talented in one field or another. Again these individuals do not suffer from many of the emotional and thought processes that the masses of human population do.

The lack of love is very crippling to an infant soul that has returned. We cannot express enough how important the initial connection between the mother and the spirit soul who is going to be coming to earth--how important the acceptance of caring for that child is and the love that is being given to it as it is being carried. This bond of love is so vital and so important to the evolution of that spirit soul and will help determine how quickly its lessons and challenges on earth are often met. Children who are often abused and neglected are left with a strong sense of emptiness in their lives for many years. They are often pushed aside by society as bothersome or troublesome and are not given the opportunity to see other choices that they can make in life until they become adults. As they become adults they are allowed to see that that they have many doors and opportunities that are open to them. Their spiritual evolution will often depend upon the growth they will as an adult make and we are talking about the spiritual evolution of what they were as a spirit through many incarnations. For those who are given an opportunity to move forward as an adult that they were not able to experience as a child, their choices so often depend upon again the spiritual evolution they came to earth with from other incarnations. Many times there will be two adults who are side-by-side given the same opportunities but, because they are at different levels of spirit evolution, will take very different paths.

 Adult contribution to children

We cannot express enough how important it is for adults of your world to be able to share and express and encourage and support with love. Young children upon your earth after the age of 3 have really lost the contact, as we have mentioned before. We talk about children going through terrible 2's and that when they begin to completely separate from their spirit and knowing of life on the other side--from about 3 on they still have a strong awareness of there being another life but they have made a complete earth connection at approximately the age of 3. Yet they are much more aware and much more open to experiences of the other dimensions and can be very wise if you are willing to be open to listen to some of the things that they say. This is especially true with children with very vivid imaginations and with children who are suffering from tragic illnesses from dysfunctional energies upon your earth. It is most important that you as adults on earth give your children a sense of belonging, a sense of being supported, and a sense of guidance and direction without allowing them to fend for themselves. Many times you as adults go from one extreme to the other with children upon your earth. You are either far, far too strict and structured and not able to see that they have their own individual thoughts and energies or you will go to the other extreme and let them run rampant in their own thoughts and energies without enough guidance.

In either case this is very difficult for the young spirit soul because they have really no true sense of belonging in either place. One, they are not allowed to be who they are and the other, they have no sense of a strong love connection in a family that lets them "be your own individual person". We know as adults that you are not given directions for being a parent. We wish that we could be heard much stronger than what we are so that these young spirit souls that are reincarnating in life could meet their challenges with a little more ease and comfort. When that does begin to happen on earth you will then see a strong evolution in the lives of and in the life style of your earth.

 There are so many dynamics and so much misplaced energies upon your earth, the abuse of a young child being one of the worst that one could experience. Generally speaking, a child who has been so abused is here to learn the lesson of forgiveness and is here to learn the lesson of compassion. This does not always work as we well know. But there are many people involved in the lessons that are involved in such an act with children. There are many dynamics to such acts that we cannot explain to you why such terrible deeds do happen upon your earth. But if one is to take the spiritual form of it, it is to learn forgiveness and compassion and to give love no matter what the experience was and you can give that in your human form or in your spirit form as life moves on for you. We would say that those are the biggest lessons and the reasons for such atrocious acts.

Fear. Very low energy vibrations and fear. Fear is generally the motivating factor for all negative acts that you see upon your earth. It is all based on fear of one form or another, fear of not being accepted, fear of not being good enough, fear of being eliminated. Fear is the biggest contributor to the dark side of mankind, followed by anger. Those are the two largest reasons.

It is just a process that spirits go through. We would like to come back to this question please later.

 Immature spirits

Do you mean as human beings or as spirits themselves?

We would say many of your countries in your world where there is continuous strife and struggle, where there is much anger, where there is a great underdevelopment of all sorts--in those worlds these are spirits who are still immature and young spirits, coming to earth learning earth's lessons from nursery school and kindergarten.

 There most definitely is and every individual upon earth has the ability to do this regardless of the level of their spiritual consciousness. And that is simply by believing and connecting with God in whatever environment you are in, asking for the love of God and the protection of God to completely surround you and to be with you at all times. Often individuals will find themselves in very violent situations and as one connects to that love of God, and the protection of God, one will feel that love and protection in a way that you ordinarilily would not feel and understand at the time. But, yes, one can always ask for the love and protection of God at all times and one can go into, say, a family environment that is often very adverse and negative and still feel the love of a family but ask to be protected from that outside three-dimensional antagonistic energy.

 Departure from a life plan

Well, as we have discussed before, we do not thoroughly understand ourselves. At times energies can cross, can intercept another energy. Usually when that happens, what will happen will be on a much larger scale than an individual scale. It is for the better for the whole instead of the individual, and that is often misunderstood in your country. But oftentimes when an act happens, and generally this act is almost always of a negative nature, but can be extremely positive as well. But there are times when something not only bad happens to individuals upon your earth, but good things which you rarely hear, that helps to manifest a much stronger and brighter life than an individual might have had had they not connected, if their energies had not crossed paths. So, it's not always a negative experience when energies intercept what was originally thought out, what that spirit thought he would be doing when he came to earth.

 One needs to go into their heart and feel their greatest desires, feel their greatest love, ask to be guided to that, know what brings you the most joy and pleasure upon earth. One's mission could be just one simple thing for their entire lifetime and that could have been a smile that you gave to someone who was contemplating suicide and that smile turned their life around. So do not look for missions that have to be overwhelmingly experienced because your misson upon earth is to find your inner self, find your love, and give that love back to the earth. For many people, it is many different things but acceptance and love and forgiveness are three very big missions for any soul upon earth to be able to acquire within their life to bring them to high, high spiritual levels and in doing so your energy helps move the energy of your earth all the way around to higher consciousness.

 Astral travel

No. It could. You have many people who will try to astral-project or who will be astral-projecting into their dreams, but generally no, the spirit soul likes to stay within its human body. So, it is not necessary to leave its body at night when it sleeps, although there are times when it has asked for permission and been granted to be able to do some exploring in other parts of the earth world or in other parts of the universe.

Voices that are heard as one goes into a sleep consciousness can be voices from many different areas of one's life. They can be spirit guides talking to you from the other side. They can be loved ones who have crossed over trying to communicate to you. They could just be the energies left of individuals who have crossed over from the location where you are. There are many reasons why one would hear the voices. Go to your inner self and ask for love, guidance and protection and ask who the voices belong to. If you can in your sleep, just ask the voices who they are. Each night as you go to sleep make sure that you give yourself the blessing of love and protection from higher spirit and know that you will be safe and in your sleep conscious state you will ask who are you of these voices and you will have no fears at all.

 One could encounter energies, for there are many energies in the astral plane, varying from those with very high spiritual consciousness to those of far, far less spiritual consciousness. You can encounter any of these energies and unless you are well prepared and have a complete understanding of how to protect yourself these can have emotional as well as physical effects upon your life at your return to your three-dimensional life.

No, they do not. Do you mean one spirit in two separate bodies?

No, that is not the case.

 Prayer

Well, on your earth humans so much come to prayer petititoning for something, whether it be health or love or marriage or divorce or money or material aspects of its life they want, it is always coming in one form or another, beseeching and asking for such things in their life. So beseeching is often the way a human prays. It is most important for you as humans to realize that you do not have to go beseeching and asking and begging for something you want. To come to true prayer with God is to come and give thanksgiving for anything that you wish in your life, knowing that it has already been done.

So, when you are faced with any situation, if you give thanks before any materialistic three-dimensional form is experienced, you have experienced it in your mind, your brain, your heart, and you have taken it to God and said thank you for creating it and not thank you for having it at this point because, even though you don't have it, it is important that through your prayer you know that you already have it. Prayer does not have to be through prayer beads, praying to any sort of statue or any idol. Prayer can be done while doing dishes, while in the bathroom, prayer has no specific part--as long as you are talking to your spirit guide and God you are committing to that love of God within your heart, right then.

 We believe you are just using different terms to describe the same thing. If you believe there is a Saint who is a higher evolved spirit being we believe that is the spirit--the same as the Saint. And that spirit being will be there to help you. So if you are looking for specific guidance from a specific saint, we know that that is a spirit guide--the same as your saint--and they will be there to help you. You must be willing to take responsibility for your role from that help. You must be willing to know that you are truly opening your heart up to a higher level of consciousness and that you are willing to work with that consciousness, that it does not do it for you but works with you. We will say in times of dire emergencies, in times of extreme difficulties and oftentimes the saint will be there to carry you through it but you will be aware of that after the situation is over and know that you too had a role in that. But the majority of the time it is your responsibility to work with that spirit guide as well as just not saying, okay, come and do it for me. You must be responsible in that role yourself.

 Meditation

There is a verse in your bible such as--come in and shut the door, or come in and be quiet, or walk in the dark. That is what meditation does, it helps you to be still. And be still and know that you are God, be still and listen to God, listen to what information is being given to you by God and to let go and to let yourself release all such energies that have been creating such an upset in your life.

 Christianity

You on earth tend to worship Christ the man instead of Christ the teachings. The whole point of Christ coming to earth was for his teachings. And He was able to accept and know that God was always there and it's His teachings that surround and enfold all people on earth. Even though they do not believe in Christ Jesus as many of your Christians do, they do believe in Christ who was able to surpass all evil, who was able to surpass all illness, who was able to surpass all the challenges that were put in his life because He knew that God was there at all times. And He did not live a life of fear, He did not live a life of guilt, He did not live a life of anger. He lived a life of love and compassion and understanding and acceptance and as Christians that is what you should come to know and understand your Jesus to be, not just the man that died on the cross for your sins, but because we believe that many of the stories in your English bibles are not very valid stories.

 Jesus Christ was a symbol of hope and a symbol of cleansing for all humans. His ability to reappear after three days of being declared dead is to give hope to everyone, regardless of their religious philosophy, that life does continue. And to evoke fear in those who do things such as the killing of other humans to show that they are responsible for their actions and that all humans are given the ability to live the life the same as Christ did. Christianity in your world is the strongest religion that draws together energies of hope but is also many times misunderstood and your human laws and your human desire to control often creates shadows over the real reason of the story of Christ Jesus and not accepting stories of other beings who reached such levels of spirituality. If you could remove some of the human errors that have been projected into your earth world about Christ, you would come to see his life had meaning for everyone.

 How should the Bible be viewed?

As a piece of history, as a form of history that was written at the time that many of the events took place.

All of you on earth are teachers. You have the wisdom of your ancients that live there on earth now. You in your age and lifetime have had many teachers before you. They have taught of the higher powers. They have taught of the powers of mother earth, they have taught of many different spiritual teachers that have walked this earth. You have had at many times on earth wonderful highly, highly evolved spirit teachers who have come to help guide and direct those that have not known or understood about their spirit souls.

So, as you in your life have been exposed to religion through various forms, it was only until you were ready to accept that you did not like the structured religious man teachings, but are finding yourself being drawn to the teachings of the spirit and of spiritual nature and you are willing to listen to those messages. And it has been through people such as yourself in this day and age that that information is carried on to others and to others. And no matter where you are on earth in any group--you will never know who they are--but there are many spiritual teachers and individuals with dimensions far beyond your third-dimensional world.

We would say no to that question, no more than rocks or crystals or nature itself. Your connection is beyond the three-dimensional connection of such things as crosses/crucifixes. But, if within you, you believe that certain things carry an attraction for healing, carrying an attraction to help aid you on your spiritual journey, look carefully at these tools. Do not put the powers in the tools itself, but feel that they are an aid in helping you. Do not become dependent upon these tools for soon you will take flight and understand that you need no tools, only your willingness to accept.

No.

We cannot say for sure that they all hold elements of truth for there are many, many different organizations under the title of religions that are not at all spiritually connected. But there are many, many religious organizations that do hold great elements of truth.

Astrology 

The only comment that we have to say about that is, at the moment, the second that you choose to move into your consciousness into a human body, at that very second, at that very time in that very place, there is no other individual in that very exact location in that very exact spot at that very exact time that has come into a human life. Beyond that, we have no comment.

 Human travel in time

On earth, you all relate to time. Time isn't as you really relate to it on earth. Time is very different. All past lives, all past experiences, all past wisdom and knowledge, carry forth with you into the time you are now living. Sometimes an individual can break through this barrier and be confronted or stand in front of many other ancestors who have crossed over. They can move back into time at various events that have happened.

Well oftentimes when an individual can travel back in time, they are actually just there observing the events that happen and do not have the ability and the depth of energy within them to change those times and events that are taking place. So even though you would feel as you were the whole person in that lifetime that maybe was two or three or four or five hundred years ago, when you're there experiencing it, you really do not have the high evolved energy that would allow you to change what that event was planned to be.

We would say no, they really can't. Every once in a while an individual is given a glimpse into the future, for one reason or another, to help them change the life path they are on, to help save a future soul, but generally speaking when you move forward it is not something that you touch and have concrete tangible evidence that you have been there, even in the spirit world.

 They can. If it is true, we do not always know. But one does not need to look through the crystal ball or the tarot cards or the pendulum to define the future. One needs to look within themselves and to see what they are doing, what they are creating, and how they are responding to life's teachings to know what path they are taking upon earth leading into the spirit being. That does not mean that because good people suffer there is something wrong. It is just the way they have chosen to learn life's lessons.

 Energy in geographic locations

No matter where an individual has been upon earth, no matter what events have taken place, there is always a residual energy that is left at that time and place of that individual. It is not a draining of your energy. It is just that you have been there and it's like walking and leaving your shadow there, in a way. When such events take place, such as what just happened with your World Trade Center, with Gettysburg, with Oklahoma City, plus all wonderful positive events that have happened in your life--always there is a residual energy that is left in those places. Depending on the energy and the trauma of what events take place has a lot to do with how much energy is left there. But by both those who have lived and survived those tragedies and by those who have not lived, that energy remains in those spots.

 Future human growth

We believe that the answer to that is yes.

The only thing we have to say about that process now is that you as humans do not know what you are messing around with and that it is very dangerous and we would highly recommend that you have nothing whatsoever to do with that.

Every individual has that ability to form a healing. Yes, whether with themselves or with others. We are all given upon your earth, all the spirits within the humans have certain strengths and these strengths work in different types of healing abilities. The simple answer to your question is yes. Everyone has the ability to be a healer. Not everyone is willing to take the responsibility of being healed, though. Please know it is not the healer that is doing the healing. It is the person's responsibility who has come to the healer to be healed.

 Collective thought

As we have said many times before, everything is nothing but a vibration of energy and no matter what the collective thought as those who have this come together, regardless of the distance they are from one another, this thought is vibrating at an energy level. And as it vibrates at an energy level higher, or in some cases unfortunately lower, it has the ability to change events that could take place. And, generally, lower levels of consciousness cannot vibrate enough to change any event, but those that worship in the negative low energy fields do still have a collective consciousness such as satanic worshippers. But they are not coming from a place of love and they are not coming from a place of God. So therefore their vibrational energies are extremely low compared to those who come together in collective consciousness of love and God's name and creating a higher vibrational energy force.

As individuals come together in a collective consciousness of love, of peace, of harmony and good will towards everyone, yes, most definitely this could be used to affect large worldly events.

We would say yes except that there are few of you on your earth that have enough of that belief and who vibrate at that high of an energy level. Though, when you come together with a collective consciousness we do know for a fact that is has changed some earth events. But events such as you are talking about require such an enormous group at one time thinking thoughts of love and wholeness and wellness and healing that we do not know if you could have enough of those energy thoughts together at that high a vibrational level at one time. We are sorry that we can't help you with that. We're not saying that it can't be done but at this time we would say the possibilities are fairly low of such an enormous group coming to make earth changes stop.

It comes from everybody who has a low energy thought, whether it's just an individual such as yourself who has anger, or someone such as the terrorists who create such terrible acts, or groups of people coming together who are satanic worshippers. The low energy comes from those who do not know the light and the love of God and that can be any of you at any time when you are in a negative thought--that you're not good enough, that you're not healthy, that you don't have enough, any negative emotional feeling that an individual has creates a low negative energy.

 Not at this time. This is a question that we would like to take some time with and respond to later.

 Time on earth

The manifestation of events is happening faster because all of you on earth have the ability to move into higher vibrational energy fields and, as you do that, you create the ability to manifest things in your life, and events in your life, and healings in your life, and so in that respect, yes, things are moving faster upon earth.

 Earth disasters

 We see great earth changes that happened upon your earth at that time that destroyed many of the living beings upon your earth and reconfigured so-to-speak much of your lands from these gigantic earth changes that took place.

Yes there was a great flood. It was created by an earth shift, a shift in your earth, and what was ice areas melting very quickly and creating this flood. Many of your religious texts say that it was God who created the flood. God does not create things such as that. It is the energies of the people upon earth that creates such things by their actions and their amount of respect and disrespect and their morality. You do understand how you on earth can make these things happen just by your thoughts and by your actions, but as you have these thoughts and then you act upon them, many times you help them--you create a different vibration that affects everyone and everything upon your earth. This is the best way we can describe it to you at this time.

Yes, we could say that at well.

 Whales and dolphins

They have within them a gentleness, though they can be fierce for survival, but they have within them a gentleness in accepting and somehow they vibrate in many ways at a much higher spiritual level than many of you humans. And they see the goodness in humans and even though many have been destroyed by humans they continue to trust and want to share in the communication and the knowledge they have. But you as humans have not been able to achieve that level of understanding with them.

Yes. In many ways we would say that, though most people would disagree with that. We see that they have a knowledge and an understanding far beyond what you humans think they have.

 From a spiritual perspective nothing should ever be considered a lower form of life. Your plants, your animals, every aspect of your life is spiritually based. And one considers an animal to be a less valuable and have less thinking power but if you would often look at many of your small animals you would see how much thinking power they truly have. And again it is a matter of consciousness and because you humans are able to attain so much more knowledge and wisdom you often block out the life that is going on and being experienced right in front of your eyes in your plants and in your animals.

Animals have such a loving and accepting way about them and they are given to you humans so that you can find what true unconditional love is and respect, because in having a four-legged addition to your family, regardless of what kind of four-legged addition, it brings another dimension of love and understanding, patience, and respect for other individuals than just humans. So there is a great reason for them to be part of your human life.

 Animal pets

Yes, most definitely. All animals, whether they are pets or not, have an angel.

 Physician-assisted suicide

Well, we do not consider that the physician has committed a murder as you would expect on earth. But we would say this--both the physician and the human who has decided to quicken their release from earth will experience how those events affected the people around them when they cross over. And the person who has chosen to cross over realizes in their spirit world that they did not continue their life experience and perhaps did not learn lessons they would have continued to learn, even in a body that was ailing and of great distress to them.

No, we don't believe that it is quite at that level because generally the person who has agreed to cross over at such an illness state has learned many life lessons. But we do know that they have not continued their life path by doing that.

 Walkins and possession

If we understand this question, you are asking that, if a walkin comes into another human being, does the human being agree to that? Is that correct?

Yes, they do.

This is true. We will say that this is a very rare thing when it happens but it can and you will begin to see an increase in this happening.

 The answer to this question is no. The condition of a walk-in taking place is only between the two spirits that are involved in that process.

 Does possession of a human ever take place by an evil spiritual entity?

If an individual is in an extremely low energy field and a low vibration, more in darkness than in light in their life, we would have to say that yes, occasionally this can happen. Again, this is not an instance that happens regularly, but yes it can happen and it is an agreement again with both spirits that this happens.

 Again as you speak of a zombie it is a three-dimensional image that you upon earth have created. There are many people who are walking around in such states upon your earth because they have not connected to their spirit within them. Many of your people upon earth who have become addicted to drugs and who have very little sense of morality would be more what we would consider a zombie upon your earth for they have lost their connection to their spirit self. We have not said they are disconnected, we have just said they have lost it and they need to find a path back to it. What you are referring to about zombies is often a person's vision of a spirit who has remained upon earth and has not continued their journey to their true spirit self and these are many, many times very confused spirit energies and they are not necessarily negative as the word zombie implies. They are lost and don't know which direction to go. They are still very connected to earth but know that somehow they are not of the earth any more. And oftentimes when they are spirits they need a gentle help and a little love to show them how to continue that journey.

 Divine will and free will

The meaning of free will has to do with the level of consciousness an individual has. You have the free will to go out and kill someone, to rob a bank, you have the free will to go and support someone and to love them. You have the free will to turn your back on experiences that are happening. You have free will to move into your own higher consciousness. These are choices and God the Creator does not impose His will upon you but hopes as an individualized expression that you will come to see that you and the Creator are one and will move into a place of consciousness where you have no fear and you have trust and you have faith. Not only do you have it but you know that you have it. And you have the free will to accept that or not accept that. Every thought process, every action is a form of free will.

Everybody has free will and oftentimes you hear the expression, not my will but God's will. And in doing that you are giving your free will to God to do and follow in--it's letting go, it's stopping. Most people say its giving up and going the easy way. Just saying--I'm not going to be responsible. That's not true because divine will, God's will, is a very responsible way and if you listen to your inner voice and quit struggling with events that are taking place, quit trying to take control of events, you are giving your free will to God and will follow the inner voice and be released from stress, be released from fear, be released from worry. And therefore you are moving into divine will which you trust and know that all things will be taken care of. That does not mean that you do not act responsibly, you do, but you are doing so under the guidance of God's will and divine will.

 Natural calamities

This is not God that is allowing these natural calamities to occur. These are events of the earth that create them--Mother earth in her distress over how things are taking place and she's being abused This is again--those of you on earth do not understand--but earth is a living entity. Many times environmental effects that you create on earth artificially cause storms to happen. In particular, in areas where there are low energies and people are struggling just with earth issues, it brings about an effect upon the atmosphere which can create storms. But God does not create the activities that take place on earth. You upon earth do and mother earth does oftentimes in her response to the treatment you are giving her.

 Capital punishment

We most definitely hope it will. We do not see any point in the destruction of a life even though it has done very negative and destructive things to others. We still do not see the reason for you in turn to have the right to cut short the life experiences that that individual is to be experiencing.

I guess we would say the greatest virtue is forgiveness, acceptance and of course above all those is love--that love with forgiveness, love with acceptance, and unconditional.

When an individual feels a desire to help another one your ability to let go of the energies of that individual and place that individual in light and love is the best way you could ever possibly help them. And by seeing them as healed, regardless of what the situation is, they're healed. As your bible often states, "when two or more are gathered in my name there you too shall find more power". This is true because you begin to create energy at much higher levels. But do not feel that you as only one individual cannot help another through your vision of seeing that person healed, through your love with the Creator, and visualizing the person pulling their inner power through and eradicating the situation they are in. But unless the other individual is willing to take responsibility and do their share of the healing process, you cannot do anything at all but to give them love and continuously visualize them in a healing energy field.

 Intelligence and personality

It is of the physical body. All spirits when they come to earth are equal. Though as all spirits come to earth, they know the lessons they are going to be learning. So, many choose to come in the form they're in, even though they have the opportunity to be more than what they are in every respect. They have chosen that life experience and that life form in this reincarnation.

No. Let us rephrase that. All spirits have the same abilities, the same opportunities, and it is with their free will that they choose to restrict themselves both on earth and in heaven. There has not been but several in the entire lifetime of earth who has ever lived to the capabilities of their mindpower. Intellect and mindpower are actually two different things. Everybody has mindpower but intellect is, we would say, more an earth experience. But mindpower, which is really the ability to be in soul, is in everyone.

He would reconnect in the spirit world the same as he was in the earth world because he has expanded his consciousness that way. You can take a person who lives in your mountains who has chosen not to move into that brainpower, that intellect, when they come to this earth. But perhaps that's because in this lifetime they chose to be in those life experiences--but yet when it returns to heaven it has a different level of mindpower or intellect as you would call it in heaven. It oftentimes is a choice that is made by the soul that is going to be crossing over to experience those life experiences that will help its spirit soul to grow larger to reach a higher consciousness. We're sorry that this is quite difficult to explain to you because it is almost beyond our understanding as well and it is not easily put into your three dimensional words.

 Absolutely not.

 Immature spirits

Not necessarily. There are many aborigines who are highly spiritual beings and very much honor your earth mother and have an understanding of tribal connectiveness. Of course there are many tribes who do not have that, who can be cannibals, who can be very destructive within their own tribes. Again, this varies within your earth in different tribes as it does within different cultures that you consider civilized cultures.

We could say that they are made up of two things. They could possibly be young, immature spirits, or they could be spirits who continuously return to earth to stay at that level and have no desire to move into higher consciousness levels.

 Spirit visibility of human thoughts

Most definitely, though they never judge or interfere with those thoughts. You can give your spirits permission to intercept those thoughts, to help you move into a higher level of consciousness, such as when an individual has seen a horrific crime done or atrocity that you have viewed on television recently in that special program. And you have nothing but a thought of getting hold of the person who was in charge of these events, these horrific crimes and destruction against humanity and your thoughts are equal to his thoughts of destruction. Oftentimes your spirits will step in and help you move from that negative energy field to one of higher vibration, one of looking at the individual with compassion and understanding and not condoning or believing that he did not do wrong. You do feel the acts were terrible but to move beyond the person who did the acts, but to look at the person's soul. That is how your spirit will help step in to your most intimate thoughts when those thoughts are being destructive to you as well as the individual they are projected towards.

 Special spirit guides

To the best of our knowledge the answer to that is no. A city, a country is made up of the individuals and it is the individuals that make the city or the country, and a city or a country does not exist without the individuals. It is the individuals themselves that have the proper guidance from their spirit guides and their guardian angels that will help unite and form these countries and these cities.

 Matter

Matter is just a form of energy that is vibrating and, depending upon the level of its consciousness, whether it is the energy that forms a rock or a blade of grass, an animal or a human being, depends on the level of energy that it will vibrate at that continues the extension of the consciousness of that form of matter.

 Interdimensional beings

When you say interdimensional beings, they are those who can move from your third dimension into understanding the dimensions of other part of the universe, other spiritual experiences. There are many E.T.'s in other universes that move far beyond your three dimensional experiences and are able to experience life from other dimensions, other than the three dimensions that the general public of your earth experience.

 There are some humans upon your earth who have evolved enough to be able to move in spirit form through walls. There are probably even a few upon your earth who have the ability to move through the actual energy of solid matter because they have moved beyond solid matter and it does not exist. These are very wise teachers who have been sent to your earth who do not go around and do this as a spectator sport.

These are beings from other planets, beings from other universes. They are all around you upon earth a lot of the time and you are just not able to accept this other dimension that co-exists with you upon earth all the time.

 Dimensional shift

Yes, most definitely, and we actually see much of that happening with many of the people upon your earth now. We see they are beginning to move into the ability to accept, to understand, and to communicate such as you are now doing with dimensions beyond what the general people of earth experience.

We see great changes taking place on your earth. Great changes. Some very powerful and very wonderful. Others powerful but not so wonderful. And that there will be a coming together of both of these energies and when they come together then will be the opportunity for earth to make a complete change in its way of life and yet we do not know which way that will go.

 Again this is a question that we cannot answer.

 Divisions and unions of spirit souls

All spirit souls are part of a larger entity. Every creation is part of the Creator. Whether it be earth beings or other universal beings, you are all part of one Creator and in essence you are all one. You come to understand this as you become a spirit soul and have a greater knowledge of what that means than you do as individual beings on earth and in other universal worlds.

There is an essence of all of your past incarnations that remains in the spirit world. It is the best way we can describe it. It is not an entity that is living, experiencing, and growing but it is the essence of all that you have ever been, waiting for your spirit soul to return to it.

It will contain all that you have ever been and it does have an affect upon this life now for you have that connection always in terms of earth, if you want to think of it, of being an umbilical cord or a life cord that is connected to all other life.

This is true.

A shadow, but yes this is true. But that part of you, this part of you, all of you are connected and truly there is nothing but a oneness. It is as though all of you are connected by an umbilical cord to the Creator and all are one with the Creator always at all times so therefore you are all one together.

Of course it does. That connection will be there forever. That connection is truly what people would call soul mates upon the earth. As humans, you like to use that term quite often, and those of multiple birth are truly soulmates, truly here to bring lessons to others. And those who are born at birth with an identical twin will generally throughout their entire life have experiences with that twin even though it has turned back into spirit form for that twin will stay with it until it crosses over. This is particularly true in identical twins.

 As we have said, yes, there are levels of that. Such people as Mother Teresa was one of these indiduals who would reach out to any level of an individual upon your earth and offer them love and many times in return this was a door or window, a pathway for someone you would say was in the negative energy to move forward. You are all upon this earth capable of doing that for one another. You just have not opened your energy levels to that degree yet.

First, we would say to you that many people have many different concepts of spirit guides and angels. We will give you how we see and feel from our vantage point in heaven of the angels and spirit guides. Angels are forms of energy that deal everyday all day with those of you on earth. They are always with you for whatever circumstance you are experiencing. Angels are forms of energy that work most directly with everyday people, earthbound experience issues and events that are taking place in your life. They are forms of energy that are specialists in various fields of your human life. There are angels who can help with simple issues, such as finding parking places or finding lost keys. They are just forms of energy that help nudge you in your everyday life. That is one form of an angel. There are angels then that become guardian angels, who help you in everyday forms of life but to help protect you from accidents and negative energies that could create harm to you.

There are spiritual angels who come to you when you are in your meditation and in your prayer to just be there, to be supportive as you move along your journey through meditation and through prayer. There are angels who come to be with you in times of health issues and then there are angels who come to be with you who help you during business issues, whether they be through work-related or issues such as you are working with regarding your future survival plans. These are angels that are there at all times. They are evolved forms that are more just for your human endeavors in life and are always there. You do not need to even call upon them for you often through various ways feel their presence in your life.

There is another form of an angel who is often a deceased person who will come and act as also an angel in assisting you. But these are truly human spirits who have crossed over and have taken a loving, protective stance in helping people that they have an attachment to, whether it be a family member and loved one or someone who lives on your property and feels a connection to you to help and protect you. So these are visiting spirits who often come and act as a form of an angel energy as well though their appearance is not on a steady continuous basis as angel spirits are. Angels then move higher up in a hierarchy of power and closer to their oneness with God their Creator as well and these various different levels of hierarchies you will often find described in many books regarding angels. But angels are for earthbound experiences and events that take place.

 Angels and spirit guides

As we have mentioned before, angels are more totally earth related experiences. Spirit guides work with your thought process and your connectiveness to moving higher into your consciousness and as you continue to move and walk into a lighter consciousness your spirit guides become much more of an everyday experience. They work with you in your thought process and your consciousness growth. Angels are always with you regardless of what your consciousness is. They are there to help you with earth issues. Your wife often will say--"the little voice said"--such as when she was trying to find a lotion the other day. Oftentimes it is not the little voice as much as it is the angels that are talking with her regarding these earth issues. Because she has become so aware of knowing that there is a constant communication, the little voice to her becomes one and the same.

Many people are not aware of their spirit guides and teachers and are not aware that the voices are talking to them, whether they be teachers or angels. Because they are not so consciously aware of spirit teachers, it is easier for them to understand the concept of angels helping them. And in many earth type issues, that is who is helping them--the angels. Angels, again we would say are very earth experience oriented, such as finding things, protecting, guiding and directing. Angels again work on a more three dimensional level. Spirit teachers and guides are there to help you evolve to a higher consciousness level.

The learning process for all spirits that make the transformation from a universal form, whether it be earth or other parts of the universe, the learning process in spirit form does not evolve as quickly as it is does in a universal experience. And even in other universes the spiritual consciousness evolution does not happen as quickly as it does on earth. Earth is the place one can move to a higher consciousness quicker than anyplace else in the universe. For on earth lessons are thrown at each individual daily, hourly, and the individual on earth--a human being--is being given an opportunity through every single experience to see how they can evolve. As one moves into spirit form, this is not the case because you no longer have the earth experiences or the earth types of emotions.

Spirit life, though it is more highly evolved than human life, moves in words that best describe it as a much slower and less opportunity because spirit life does not move with the emotions that you have on earth and as many other universes do not experience the emotional levels and extremes that you on earth can move. This is why, by not experiencing these emotional levels, you do not move in your conscious evolution nearly as quickly as you would on earth. In spirit life to evolve into higher consciousness you are given the opportunity to view all past lives and all of the experiences you had and what lessons you learned in total from all of those lives. The best way probably to describe it to you on earth is that spirit life moves in slow motion compared to earth life.
