Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters, could you please speak to the need to shield oneself energetically from negativity? As I become clearer, more aware of energy, I’m seeing how we’re all connected to one another and have the ability to draw from the energy of each other. I can now often feel it when someone wants to attach to me energetically. Is there a need to shield oneself regularly? Or is it merely an illusion based on fear-it happens because we believe it? Or is it both?   ~Anne W.

ANSWER: The physical world that you currently inhabit is grounded on the basis of a duality: for all the positive energy there is an equal amount of negative energy. Most people are never aware of the sensation of a positive or negative force around them. As people begin to clear away their life lessons (experiences dealing with negativity), they become aware of positive energy, i.e., the absence of negativity.

Once a people have felt positive energy, they wish to increase the amount around them. Even if they have never realized the feel of positive energy they sense the lightness or shimmering of positive energy and want to embrace it. This energy is like a beacon that draws moths to its light-others cannot avoid its appeal.

When souls have newly completed their lessons and positive energy comes in, generally they are not able to sense when others come along and try to steal it; they are just aware that one moment they feel fine and the next they are exhausted. We call people who come along searching for and stealing positive energy, “energy vampires.”

It is possible to steal energy from souls only if they allow it to happen. The permission may be an open invitation to share or simply a thought of “I feel so great-can you feel it?” Any little hint that you don’t mind your energy being taken away is considered an invitation to come in and snack.

To prevent your providing “munchies” for other souls, you need the intention to  keep what is yours to yourself, unless you actually decide to share. All you need to do is to say to the Universe (that is to all energies everywhere) that you do not want to share your energy. You can also envision yourself protected by a barrier of white light, ask your guides to protect you, or simply say, “No sampling without my permission.”

QUESTION: Hi, Masters – would you please tell me what orbs are?

ANSWER: An orb is a sphere composed of energy. In most cases, it is the Earthly pattern that souls (spirits) assume when they are visiting your current time and dimension and don’t want to bother with taking the effort necessary to construct a physical body.

The souls normally appear as shimmering spheres. They are generally white, or tinted silver or gold, but may be any color within the spectrum. Some souls have fun and form recognizable animal or human faces within the sphere, but others spend their time sending out geometric figures, which is one of our means of communication. Occasionally the energy will not be contained in a sphere but may take some other form or be vapor.

Orbs may be seen anywhere at any time. In an area that contains happy or very spiritual energy, such as caused by meditation, healing, toning, chakra balancing, or the like, we come for enjoyment and to share with the human beings present.

Some incarnate souls have the ability to catch sight of us out of the corner of their eyes. We do not photograph very well on regular film because it is not sensitive enough, but we show up beautifully on digital reproductions because our energetic vibrations register on the pixels.

As guides, and those desiring to offer whatever service we can, we are around you all the time. This is one way we can verify our existence to you-if you believe in the first place. If someone does not believe that we non-physical entities exist, we could tweak them on the nose and they would still deny our existence.

We often feel like saying “Tag, you’re it!” so catch sight of us if you can.

QUESTION: Masters, how do you send someone a message regarding unfinished Earthly business (the result of a spiritual bond) if they are unreceptive to you, but your soul is urging you on to talk to them?

ANSWER: Each soul has chosen its own pathway in its incarnation. You have made contracts with a number of souls to help you learn the lessons that you chose for this lifetime. When you all entered into your bodies you did so with amnesia as to the desired experiences for this life.

Sometimes, during the process of fulfilling your plans, you remember some of the details. This may occur on occasion when you see the body of the soul with whom you made the contract. Energetically you may sense a need to confer about your life with someone who thinks you are crazy because they do not have the memory that has now become available to you.

Just as you cannot get people to change their mind unless they are willing to be open to your ideas, it is impossible to get them to even listen to you if they are not so inclined. Souls progress through their lessons at different rates of speed, so even if others started at the same time as you, they may not have matched your advancement and learning pace.

If you cannot get the physical vessel to respond to your urging to confer, send a message through your thoughts to the other’s higher self explaining the situation and what you are attempting to accomplish. The higher self may be able to notify the person’s conscious mind that you are making an attempt to complete a contract, but don’t be surprised if the conscious mind ignores its own unconscious mind as well.

If after making all attempts you are unsuccessful, just let the matter drop. The energy is in the air. When-and if-the other is ready to talk, that soul will know where to reach you.
