Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters, I would be grateful if you could enlighten me as to how I can best help my youngest son who is going through a bad patch. He is feeling confused and depressed and finding it difficult to find joy in life and the moment.  Is what he is going through part of his life lessons? ~Ruth, Ireland

ANSWER: The best way to “be there” for him is to let him go. He is trying to learn to ride a bicycle and someone is always holding him up instead of letting him perfect his balance with a couple of falls. Definitely be there to pick him up when he falls, and to offer advice from your experience, but only when he asks.

Humans do not spend their entire lives in joy and total clarity. He is finding his way. His elders have always shouldered some of his burdens so he has never carried a full load until now. He is more than capable of being his own person. What he is doing right now is looking pathetic to everyone in hopes of being bailed out yet again.

Let him sink if he must; that is the only way he will learn to swim his way through adulthood. This is all part of his life’s plan and lessons.

QUESTION: Masters, what is a Merkaba? How does it work? I understand it can be used for inter-dimensional travel? Can it be used for physical travel in 3rd dimension as well? ~Geri, USA

ANSWER: The Merkaba has been known as long as man has been on the Earth. The Zulu believe they came to Earth from another place via their Merkabas. We like to refer to the Merkaba as the soul’s “light body.” It is represented, for the human mind, as a series of three star tetrahedrons located around the physical body. The innermost is the containment vessel, while the outer two are the propulsion chambers, which when rotated variously clockwise and counter-clockwise allow the soul to transport the body anywhere in the universe of time and space.

The primary role is that of enlightenment and ascension. Its purpose is to transport the entirety of the soul and its wisdom back Home when an incarnation is finished. It is not a vehicle that can be activated at will, unless and until the soul has reached the state of awareness of its essence so it may remember how it all works.

Many procedures have been put forth allegedly teaching people how to activate their Merkaba, but success is measured in their awareness and purity of intent. It is possible to use it to travel within and between the various dimensions, even the third dimension. Aware human beings don’t need to activate their Merkabas intentionally; they simply need the intention to transport their awareness and self to a different location and they are there.
