Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters I absolutely adore all animals. You talk about most animals not having a soul yet there are so many cute stories of many animals like for example squirrels, otters, horses that have cute personalities and if you watch Facebook I post animal stories daily. I feel I have the ability to connect to animals in a special way? so I always hate when you answer people’s questions about animals, and you don’t give them much high regard. Why? ~Susie, NZ

ANSWER: We do not downplay the importance of animals in the lives of a lot of souls having physical experiences. The point is that we are concerned about souls and their journeys of gaining knowledge that they can turn into wisdom to carry forward to the complete understanding of the powers and abilities of the soul. Few souls believe they can learn their life lessons in anything other than a physical body, so they never choose to incarnate as an animal.

Animals have restrictions on their ability to use freedom of choice, because they really don’t have any. They are either wild with little contact with humans and using all their resources just to keep themselves fed, or kept domestically as a food source for humans, or relegated to being companions for humans (pets).

Animals allow people to have a point of reference for the things occurring in the world around them because they are non-threatening. Actions that another human performs that may help someone understand a lesson of theirs, may not be observed by the soul because they don’t want to take the chance of interacting with another. A similar type activity by a pet will be observed, analyzed, and used to direct future behavior of the person.

Yes, animals are an important aspect of the world within which souls go to learn. But the ones without souls aren’t vital to the learning experience of the soul on their journey toward a spiritual experience.

QUESTION: Masters I would like for better understanding what’s the difference between karma and life lessons that you always said? ~Thaís, Brazil

ANSWER: Life lessons are the reason that souls become human to live in a duality where they can learn through the choices they make. It is not possible to fully appreciate the powers and abilities that Source has given to souls (the pieces of itself that it broke off) while the souls are existing in the unconditionally loving energy of Home. That can only be done when souls are presented with the positive and negative sides of any human characteristic.

Life lessons are chosen before the soul enters into the human body. They are not specific – that is, not exactly as the testing will appear. This is partially the choice of the person and how they are leading their life during this time of study. Whether the lesson is accomplished depends on the individual, and what happens after that is also up to them.

If a lesson is not completely comprehended, the soul can choose to try it again in that lifetime or in another lifetime, or just move on to something else. There is no obligation to carry an incomplete lesson on through that life or into another. Nothing but the memory of what was chosen, and the results attained, affects the soul because no negativity exists outside of Earth.

Karma is a belief that the person will be made to pay for something they have done. This is the punishment aspect of society’s ego judgment. Since judgment requires negativity, it can exist only within the duality of Earth. It does not travel back to Source, nor does it hang on to the soul and require retribution.

The action of “karma” is frequently blamed for bad, or negative, choices made by people. It has also become an excuse for lazy people who do not work hard to understand their chosen tasks. It is not an actual energy, just a belief based upon a thought provided by others in society. In spirituality karma does not exist. 

QUESTION: Masters, I see I can create my own reality. For example, if I create the type of love companion I’d like to be with, am I forcing self Will of the person that comes into my life? ~Mauro, Portugal

ANSWER: It is impossible to get a person to do something they do not wish to do unless they consent to the action.  You can manipulate another and appear to get them to do as you want, but in truth, they are following you of their own volition.

Many people do not wish to take the responsibility for making decisions, so they will defer to another. They believe that you know better what they want and need than they do. They are giving all their power over to you. Is this wrong for either you or them? No. It is all about the lessons each chose to learn.

When you are manifesting and creating your own reality, there are two sides involved. There are the actions that you are performing and the decisions of the other party. There is the possibility that all you have done is put the energy out into the universe of the type person you wish to attract, and that person, who is looking for someone just like you, is responding to the call.

The second possibility is that your call is heard by a person who doesn’t really know what they want, so they let you make the choices and get drawn into your desire. This is not wrong because their choice is to let someone else make the decisions. This then helps both of you get what you want.
