Assuming responsibility

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2014

QUESTION: Masters, you may remember your reply to me 4 years ago after I came to Switzerland. In this, I described the bitterness of my English wife after I formed a relationship with another woman. Now my wife is very ill and I have just had my cancerous prostate removed. I am trying to help her, have discussed returning home, but find her very hard to get on with. I feel terribly responsible for what has happened to her and do not know what to do. ~John, Switzerland

ANSWER: What happens to another person is what they wish to experience. They will make contracts with other souls to be antagonists, ensuring events will occur when needed. Nothing you have specifically done has gone against the lessons your wife chose before coming to Earth.

Each human decides what beliefs to hold for his or her lifetime. Your wife has chosen a very unhappy, negative stream of events. She is influenced by the religious programming of the evangelists and is in full punishment mode. She thinks her life is the result of her not being good enough to deserve a better one. In her mind, you are the devil incarnate and not to be listened to for advice on the hereafter. Her illness is part of her punishment scenario.

Your guilt is one of your life lessons. Responsibility is a result of each person’s choices, not the product of someone else’s actions. Your wife made the decision to say she forgave you so she could remain in this negative-based environment. She doesn’t want to hear about salvation, unconditional love, and returning Home – it doesn’t go along with the suffering she has chosen. Making you feel guilty is one of her only enjoyments.

Your cancer was the result of guilt and the need to punish yourself. You have paid that price and can now examine the results and move forward. You don’t need to let her suck additional positive energy out of you, which is what she is currently doing.

The rest of both of your lives can continue as it is going, or you can accept that you have no responsibility for her choices. Nothing you say or do will change her mind about you and life in general. Connect with your essence of unconditional love. Share with her what she will accept, and if you are rejected yet again, move on to complete your own journey.

Faith in your feelings

QUESTION: Masters, recently I’ve been studying and researching reincarnation and Old Souls, as far back as I cn remember I’ve always had an interest in non-traditional belief systems and have questioned mainstream religion and teachings and have had ongoing debates with folks who think that my way of thinking is wrong in their eyes. Why is it so clear to me that there are many paths to the light even if they are all different they lead to the same thing. ~Lilly, USA

ANSWER: You have fully understood the soul’s ability to have freedom of choice concerning all factors in their human life. You have put aside beliefs that others have tried to force you to use to regulate your life. You have used your intuition and inner feelings to accept those beliefs which resonate with you.

While you have succeeded in learning this lesson you have not dealt well with your lesson on honoring yourself and ignoring the heckling from others about the way you have chosen to lead your life.

You live in a duality of positive and negative energies. People can only learn about themselves in such an environment by first finding they can have choices, then discovering what they are, and finally making the decision to choose their own from those available.

Since lessons require negativity, most of society feels more comfortable using negative patterns of behavior. It takes a long time for a soul to realize it hasn’t taken responsibility for its journey until it has made its own decisions. Some people spend their whole life letting others tell them what to do and what to believe. They don’t want to be “wrong” or different from the preaching of the majority of society.

So what if those you come in contact with don’t want to buck their parents, teachers, churches and society? You can share the path you have found that works for you but they must find their own. What they say and do can only irritate you if you allow it to. Relax and let them find their own path if it is a part of the lesson they chose for this lifetime.

It is perfectly all right to try and share your knowledge with others but don’t be vested in how they accept or reject your beliefs. Go back to your inner feelings and live with what works for you.

Fighting belief systems and society

Tuesday, April 1st, 2014

QUESTION: Masters, you said years ago that I serve people well either in the conventional world or complementary, it did not matter. Why then do I feel guilty to see so many suffer at the hands of conventional drug based medicine? And sickness is increasing: why? I think it’s because we are poisoning the Earth and ourselves: do the Masters agree? Medicine is so proud of solving sickness in ways that not only suppresses it to come back in another form and then blame it on the patient for not getting better, and the patient is not any wiser. I find it hard to see suffering when I have seen severe illness cured with detoxification, yet I think the suffering soul is here to teach us something. I want to do integrative medicine but find it hard to move out for fear of being attacked and not having enough skills. ~Amy, UK

ANSWER: You have training in both conventional and complementary medicine. You can do one or the other or you can combine them in order to help your patients. The first comment we have on your question is that you are not giving enough credit to the power that you have as a piece of Source. You are evaluating your power and abilities only as you believe others are evaluating you.

You also aren’t accepting that individuals make up their own mind as to what their beliefs should be. Most take the easy route of going along with the majority of society, i.e., that conventional medical practitioners know what they are doing and always do what is best for the patient.

Most medical personnel are taught that medicines are the only way of treating an ailment. As long as patients have that same belief, you are not going to be able to get them to even try an alternative procedure. You cannot control the decisions of others even if you know what is best for them. Part of their life lessons is to realize they have freedom of choice and then to decide what they want to do.

It is also impossible to convince people that changes need to be made unless they can see a need. What is happening in the world around you is the result of the totality of the life lessons of those sharing the planet with you. Each chose to be on the Earth at this time, knowing what would be happening.

Your next step is up to you, but it cannot succeed until you realize what a fantastic person you are. You are a piece of Source with all the strengths and abilities. What others say and think can affect you only if you allow it to by accepting that it is true and thinking they know more about what is right for you than you yourself. You can tap into the skills of the universe if you believe. Intention is the key. Know you can do something and you will accomplish it.
