Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters is there a correct/right religion? I’m a converted Muslim, but my family hates it. Am I wrong for following the Islamic teachings? What is the meaning of me feeling close to a culture so different from mine? Does it have to do with my past lives? ~Kamila, Brazil

ANSWER: Organized religions create belief systems by which their participants choose to model their lives. Various social, sports, and theatrical associations provide other forms of belief systems for the individual. Races and nationalities also provide beliefs that people follow. From all the possibilities, each person decides what pieces of each available set of rules and regulations they wish to incorporate into their own reality.

All organized groups motivate their devotees to behave exactly as the group rules dictate. All choices are removed from the members, and with them, the responsibility for the consequences of what they do because they follow the rules and don’t make any decisions themselves.

Don’t get us wrong: there is a benefit to following the directions of others – if, and when, what you are asked to do resonates within you and feels like what will allow you to thrive. For every person, the answer to your question can be different. What tenets of what groups will help you learn about yourself and grow in awareness of who and what you are? If you do not feel like you are understanding life better, then move on to another group.

It is difficult within your family because their belief systems tell them that Islamic teachings are wrong and that you are being led into a dangerous way of life. Everyone has freedom of choice, and you must accept that their beliefs, being contrary to yours, will continue to cause discord.

Your interests have nothing to do with a past life. You find a comfort in the teachings right now and in the other participants. Create this as your reality and need until it no longer feels comfortable. With religion as with employment, interests, or companions, be truthful to yourself and remain connected until it is uncomfortable – then do not hesitate to change to something else.

There is no right or correct anything that applies to all people. Each is responsible for their own choices if they accept they have choices and don’t just blindly follow their family.

QUESTION: Masters why have I been having so many coincidences of dark energies coming into my life? I have strange Psychic experiences, dreams, encounters, meet people who say they’ve been possessed, hear people talking when I fall asleep just to name a few. The possessed appear more often now and bring other types of negative experiences. Is this just my imagination? Too much tv? Sometimes these spirits / entities come to my dreams and name themselves, is this real? How do I protect myself and others from these negative entities? ~Erika, US

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

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

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

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

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

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

QUSTION: Masters what would happen in the afterlife to someone who died by suicide? Is there a punishment for the soul? Does a soul prior to being reborn also choose and decide how their body will die? ~Natasha, Singapore

ANSWER: The only place where there is judgment is within the duality of planet Earth. Judgment is needed for negativity. Negativity is required for the concept of punishment to exist. So, once the soul leaves the body and returns to its essence of unconditional love, it is impossible for judgment and punishment to occur.

Given all the above, a soul who has terminated a human life by suicide returns to an environment where that action is never judged, condemned, or subject to punishment. The soul evaluates what they learned from the lifetime, including all the factors contributing to the decision to end that human life.

Suicide may have been a chosen lesson for themselves or an agreement with the ones they left behind. It may also have resulted from a sense of overwhelm, a feeling that they could not tolerate one more moment on Earth. Or it may have been the result of something such as addiction, so that even though they died by their own hand, it was still somewhat of an accident.

Terminating a life experience can also be a form of running away from their chosen tasks because they are perceived as being too difficult and the soul no longer wants to work to understand why they were chosen. Once they return to the Other Side, an evaluation of what happened helps them decide what they might wish to try to complete in a subsequent life.

Souls choose many things about their upcoming lives, possibly even how they wish to return Home. But remember, each soul has total freedom of choice and can change their mind mid-action. Sometimes this results in their having a near-death experience that changes the direction they were going.
