Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters, the world is getting worse and especially my country is having more and more religious fundamentalists that treat women like trash. I’m afraid to be reborn and meeting them again, or worse, becoming one of them. What do I do to avoid rebirth? I feel as if I’d rather be in Hell than being reborn amongst these people. ~Kou, Indonesia

ANSWER: Every soul determines for itself when to incarnate into human life and when to remain at Home. You also are the only one who decides where and when you are going to incarnate, what you want to experience during that life, who your family members are, and what you do not want to have occur during that life.

What you think right now has very little, or no, influence on your future since you can only see what faces you at the moment. Back in spirit form, you have the ability to see Earth past, present, and future and to decide if you would like to participate in any particular event or time period. You can reenter sometime in the past history of Earth or in a future time that is totally different from your current life. You can even choose to spend some time on a planet that is not a duality and has no negativity.

Once you get back Home, you will be able to go over what you incarnated for in the first place and whether you had the experiences you sought. You have a council of twelve other souls who help advise you on your further education and discuss what type of continuing lives you could benefit from. But the choice to return is completely yours.

QUESTION: Masters I would like to know about the euthanasia of sick animals. It’s something that worries me because my dog is very sick. Now I’m only treating him with aloe vera because the medications were making his condition worse. I did not want to have to “fall him asleep” but I do not want to see him suffer. ~Ana, Portugal

ANSWER: All types of physical bodies on planet Earth have an expiration date. They are affected by a normal progression of degeneration, chemical pollutants, and internal disorders. Those who have reasoning brains and communication skills can let their wishes be known to others. Those that are not so equipped must be tended by the ones responsible for their well-being.

With pet animals, a caring “parent” should be aware of their charge’s quality of life. Humans who ask for assistance can get their various distresses addressed through medication, stimuli machines, meditation, and surgical procedures. Animals cannot tell you what they are feeling, where they have pain, and the tolerability of same.

As you have done with the medications, you are aware of some of your pet’s concerns. But what of his quality of life? Put yourself in his position and imagine what you would want your human to do for you. Would you want to wither away with limited mobility, no enjoyment, and constant pain?

Euthanasia for humans is frowned upon by society, yet some nationalities find ways to end their suffering and move on so that they can get ready for the next incarnation. American Indians, and some Eastern Indians, stop eating, go out into the wilderness and assist their bodies in ceasing to function. Some humans in intense pain go to Source by their own hands, using over-medication, asphyxiation, or a bullet.

Animals in the wild, when reaching their expiration date, follow the path of the Indians. Human pets do not have that ability since they cannot live outside the home they were raised in. It is then up to their caregivers, much like hospice workers, to help end the suffering. In most countries, humans are kept in a drugged state until their bodies cease to function, and in some they consent to euthanasia where it is permitted. Evaluate what your pet would want: pain or bliss.

QUESTION: Masters, my Mum passed about 15 months ago. She had dementia and although I tried to be a good daughter, often I was intolerant and selfish. She was the most forgiving, loving person I’ve ever met, and I’ve been hoping for a sign or a message from her, to no avail. I don’t mean to be facetious, but would it hurt for me to see her or speak to her or feel her presence? My sister said she saw her dead cat so why can’t I see my mum? Would it be so awful for me to be reassured that she’s okay and forgives me? I can’t be the only person who feels like this. Can you say something about why contact is so difficult please? ~Karen, UK

ANSWER: First off, your Mum is great, having a good time with old friends. During the last period of her life she was not always, as you were aware, totally conscious within her body. That was all part of a life lesson for those around her. You learned quite a bit about yourself during that time – what you could tolerate and where your patience ended.

On a spiritual level nothing is right or wrong; all things are learning experiences.  You understand that your behavior at that time was not something of which you are proud. But it was created by the frustration of not having your loving Mum there to communicate with. Her soul observed but the body was unable to interact. She took no offense at anything that occurred during that time.

Now when it comes to spirit contact, you have to examine your expectations. They are keeping you from hearing/feeling your Mum. She has spent a lot of time near you, but you are looking for specific signs and she is unable to fulfill your desires. When a soul first returns Home, they sever all contact with the Earth plane and therefore enter into an amorphous, energetic state where they do not have a human-like body, so they have no voice box with which to speak.

That does not mean that they do not communicate; it is just more mentally than spoken. Instead of words you will receive “feelings.” They will be reminiscent of your Mum’s presence but not her voice. Remember the times she held you when you were upset? That is the sensation you will first perceive.

It is easiest to establish this connection as you are just falling asleep or as you awaken in the morning. Start the flow by greeting your Mum as if she were in the room with you – because she is. “Hi Mum, having a nice day?” “I remember the strength to face the day that you always gave me.” Don’t anticipate a specific response from her. Just be open to any sensations that roll over your body. Feel her arm wrap around you. That will be her.

If you have patience, avoid feeling frustrated, and continue doing these exercises, you will establish contact.
