Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters, I am a 78 year old man. For several years I experienced depression a few days preceding the New Moon. Sometimes it feels like rage boiling up from under the surface. Sometimes I am super critical. Sometimes I’m just vaguely unhappy. Frequently, I don’t know it is happening until my wife points out that I am being a jerk. It lasts a day to three days. It is generally over when I can see the first sliver of the New Moon. Can you enlighten me? ~Gregg, United States

ANSWER: Ever heard about the influence of the moon on your Earth’s tides? Or the fact that more babies are delivered at the full moon than any other time of the month? The power of the moon, in conjunction with the Sun, has a tremendous effect on the surface of the planet. It is a magnetic / gravitational attraction on water molecules but also every object on the Earth. The attraction causes the Earth to actually bulge toward—and away from—the moon, which moves the water and causes tidal shifts.

Because water is fluid, the moon’s effect on the tides is more easily seen than its effect on other objects. Its influence on the water content of the human body, on electrical movement within the body, and on emotions is less pronounced in all but very sensitive people. The different phases of the moon, and its exact position in the cosmos, affect the human body both negatively and positively, individually and collectively. The impact spans all aspects of humanity, including the ability to make decisions and to find happiness. It can cause paranoia, anger, and sometimes euphoria.

Becoming aware of the influences on your body, you can then do something to control the result. The first step is taking away some of the ammunition this destructive influence is having within your life. The characteristics you mention are all powered by egoistic judgment. If you take time in your spiritual development to step away from judgment, you send negativity packing and replace it with positive evaluation.

In life all things are chosen by those who perform them. If you choose to judge, you are critical and angry all the time. If you choose to observe and evaluate whether or not to make the same decisions another has, you are accepting everyone’s right to be different. If you accept that each has his own path, there is nothing to criticize or get angry about.

It is time to turn your sensitivity to energy into an understanding of yourself and communication with us. (If you are interested in specific effects of the various moon phases on the human body, look it up on the Internet.)

QUESTION: Masters: Are our Past Life memories exclusively ours (as individuals) or, since ultimately we are One, is it possible that in a Past Life Regression session, we retrieve “shared memories”, belonging to other souls? Please, explain briefly the difference between time on earth and cosmic time. Is our history timeline perceived in the same way from your perspective? ~Mischa, France

ANSWER: The purpose for delving into a past-life experience is to get the benefit of that event. Frequently a soul is working on a life lesson and just cannot get past all the doubts and fears associated with it. By going back, it is possible to see the various aspects of the situation and release the blockages that prevent understanding. This may be a lesson that has been worked on in another life or one that is new to this lifetime.

If the problem is one not completed previously, the past-life remembrance would most likely be your own. If the event is a new lesson for you, you would have no history to recall, so using the example of how another handled a similar situation could help you to move into understanding. This is like reading a self-help book on how someone was able to surmount difficulties, in the hope that the same pattern will work for you.

“Time” on Earth is really the only time that exists. It is a measurement calculated by humans to judge the relationship of one event to another—whether it occurred, in their time frame, before, after, or concurrently with another event. For souls not bound to a physical body, their essence is everywhere. Their focus is wherever they choose to put their intention. They can be in many places at once, witnessing what has transpired for the physical being in several, or many, time frames simultaneously.

To help you understand the abilities of nonphysical souls, let’s say you are watching a program on a DVD. You have the ability to watch it from the beginning of the recording to the end—which is how it was recorded on Earth. You may also skip around—from the end to the middle, to the end, to the beginning—to your heart’s content; this is what nonphysical beings do. They experience and don’t judge what is “right” or when it happened but like to see the whole picture.

QUESTION: Masters, I’m a very sensitive person, and sometimes I have dreams with things that really happen, those dreams feel different than the usual. I had a dream that felt different but it was not about the future but about some people from other planets that were explaining to me that in other planets their visits are usual and not to be feared like we humans do. The strangest thing was one of them than asked me if my favorite colors were pink and purple and I said turquoise and he said: hum, a founder! Does this means something? ~Rossana, Portugal

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

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

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

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