Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters, if, in a lifetime, a person understands that they are on a spiritual journey, have had many lives and previous experiences and accepts they are a piece of Source, will they still have this awareness in their next reincarnation? Once this level of understanding is reached, does it prevent the soul from choosing certain life lessons I.e. to be evil? ~Jane, UK

ANSWER: The answer to all your questions is a resounding NO! All this knowledge is known to the soul whenever they are not in a human form, and yet, they still have freedom of choice to choose to examine any type of incarnation they want.

The primary reason that souls incarnate is to learn what is the opposite of perfection and to exercise their learning abilities concerning the specific lessons they wish to understand. What they learn in each life is added to their compilation of knowledge and wisdom but is not openly accessible in each subsequent human life unless they intend for it to be so.

When planning for a particular lifetime, the soul decides exactly what they want to explore – this may be something totally new to them or the continuation of something they have dealt with in the past. There is no hierarchy of experiences – for example, dealing with a complicated examination of love is not more important than finding out what hatred feels like in the flesh.

After completing whatever lessons a soul incarnates with the intention to accomplish, the next phase is remembering who they are as a soul and seeing how they can use those powers and abilities to understand even more of the human experience. This may bring back what was done in prior lives or it may lead to a re-discovery of their essence for the purpose of reinforcing and integrating that wisdom more fully into their physical body.

The epitome of the whole human journey is the realization of the wonder of freedom of choice, first learning that it is the controlling facet of humanity, and second discovering what those choices entail. Many souls having their human experience never reach the realization that they have freedom of choice. The spiritual understanding gives you a leg up on the journey.

QUESTION: Masters, suddenly after a spiritual phase why am I so restless and tempted to follow egoic reactions like frustration, anger etc.? Am I not supposed to be spiritual inclining after understanding the source and its purpose of creating us instead of declining in the spiritual ladder? ~Rimi, India

ANSWER: Retracing some of your prior lessons to make sure they have led to increased knowledge of life does not mean you have skidded down to your starting point again. If you block out the understanding you have obtained, then you may return to ignorance and the beginning of your journey. But if you enter into a “relapse” with the retained knowledge of how you got through it before, you have not declined but are being retested to make sure you really have learned and understood the lesson involved.

All human life is being conducted in a judgmental, egoic atmosphere, so that is the starting point for everything human. The basic negativities of hate, control, revenge, frustration, and anger are all around you. When you complete a lesson you have been working on, you free up space around you since you have chosen what path to follow and all the other possibilities you explored no longer need to be considered.

The completion of a lesson is a step toward the awareness of who you are as a soul and takes you away from negativity and toward an existence of unconditional loving energy. But, what it also does is allow you to be re-exposed to the basic energies surrounding you on the planet – those of the duality.

This is a test. Did you truly learn to move away from the negativity? If you did, all that is needed is to remove yourself once again. If you didn’t, you will have to work through those choices once more. This is not a decline because you still possess the knowledge you gained in the first encounter.

QUESTION: Masters when my sister was a child, she said she used to have visions which scared her (monsters and so on). I’ve always thought it was only her imagination. Now she is 23 years old and doctors say she has depression. Is there any relationship between her visions and depression? ~Benedito, Brazil

ANSWER: All souls who are having a human experience have the ability to connect with the entire universe, both the physical and the nonphysical. While you enter the Earth with an amnesia concerning who you are and where you have come from, it is initially held in place by society’s belief systems, which are reinforced to you by all those around you.

Everyone told your sister that what she was perceiving was only in her imagination and not possibly real. This was the foundation for her constantly questioning what she was seeing and feeling. What she was doing was being open to the nonphysical aspect of the universe and “seeing” the forms other souls took while having experiences of their own.

Many people who are diagnosed with mental diseases are in fact “seeing” into the other dimensions of existence. They are confused and frightened because they are being told that what they are seeing does not exist, since it is invisible to those treating them.

“Depression” means that the person does not have a solid “impression” of who they are and how they should behave within accepted societal standards, so they separate themselves from a world that is making demands with which they are unable to comply. They don’t know how to describe to others what they perceive, since the others refuse to try to exit their belief system and enter the world of possibility.

The visions your sister experienced are a reality to her but not to others. She exists in an in-between world of the third-dimension physical bodies and a dimension of energetic spirits. You can call it a very spiritual place, but it will never be accepted by those firmly entrenched in the third-dimensional plane.

Each soul creates its own reality by the beliefs they make their own. Even if something exists in the physical world and is right in front of you, you have the ability to refuse its existence and enter into your reality. Talk to your sister about her world in order to understand her a little better.
