Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters. I have heard a lot through the years regarding the messages from Our Lady of Medjugorje. I was raised Catholic and have been very fond of Mother Mary, but as I am on my own Independent Spiritual Path, I question the legitimacy of the messages. From what I have read, these messages seem very specific and revolve around the teachings and beliefs of Catholicism. Is it possible that the receivers are “hearing” messages from other spirits and not Mary and/or the messages are just not coming through clear? I say this because many seem to contradict the lessons and thoughts from you about who we are, about Home and our purpose? ~Mark, USA   

ANSWER: Organized religions need to maintain the mysticism of their doctrines. Through the centuries Mother Mary, in many personas, has been used to hold people to the messages of the Church. You also have, for instance, Our Lady of Fatima, -Lourdes, and -Guadalupe, to mention three more. The humans to whom these messages were delivered have generally been young, impressionable, and very religious.

The Vatican investigates these “sightings” and makes a determination whether they feel an actual communication has come from the soul known as Mother Mary. The material from Our Lady of Medjugorje was determined not to be verifiable. These occurrences have many applications for the organization to which the recipients belong, and they help reinvigorate faith and hope.

This helps a lot of people who are unable to make decisions for themselves. They are being told what to do and what benefits they will obtain for believing or doing as instructed. Hopefully, through trying to sense what they are told will be the result of their adherence to the mandates, they will begin to sense the energy of the Other Side and start thinking for themselves based on their “feelings.”

Just as we advise concerning the materials we have relayed through our channel, do not blindly accept everything you hear. Take all the information and, holding it inside in your feelings, see if it resonates with you. If it does, then make it a part of your reality. If it does not, put it aside and periodically check and see how it feels. Do not try to judge the statements, because you will be drawn into the ego judgment of right and wrong.

QUESTION: Masters, I am having a tough time with my partner due to the fact that he treats me very bad! He doesn’t respect me, calls me names for no reason, is very aggressive with words and sometimes it goes into physical fights! I am sick and tired of this situation and I can’t stop thinking about leaving him so he can learn how to treat a woman! I sense that he has never treated any other girlfriend like that but me, so maybe it’s my fault because I allowed him to do that, and now I had enough so I’m ready to end this situation and move on, I did nothing to deserve it! Please I would like some advice, what should I do to get over it. ~Miamite, England

ANSWER: Leaving him will not teach him how to treat a woman, because he does what he can get away with. He has treated each woman with the degree of disdain that she allowed. You are correct that his behavior is the result of your allowing it to occur. This is a series of lessons you have chosen. You wished to see what it would be like to be abused, disrespected, and treated as an object less than human.

You have no respect for yourself or you would walk away from this instead of letting it continue. You must find the self-love that is in your heart and soul and let it free  you. Honor the fact that you have chosen to place yourself in this position so that you might understand the lesson and move out of it.

No one “deserves” to be treated like this, but people may choose to experience it so that they can recognize the lessons and move on to something else. All souls come from the same beginnings – the energy of Source. You have to accept that you have all the power and abilities of Source in order to easily change the situations you programmed for this life.

Create an aura around yourself of love, respect, power, and independence. Don’t let another tell you what to do or how to behave. When entering into a relationship, tell the suitor what you want; don’t do or say things just because you think it is what he wants. You are just as important. If he doesn’t want to listen, then you don’t need him in your life.

QUESTION: Masters, I don’t know what kind of lessons I’m supposed to learn here. And special right now, because I have a strong feeling I don’t want to live in Brazil where I was born. I just came back from Europe. Always I come back to Brazil I feel the same sad and hopeless. I’ve got money from my dad to travel again because he could see I was unhappy here. But it didn’t work out. I believed in friends and people in general they can help me and in the end I’m alone. What can I do to go and live in a different country? I feel free when I’m speaking different language and when I’m in different place. And what is the lesson I need to learn with this disappointment with friends and boyfriends? Please help to understand, so I can work on it. ~U, Brazil

ANSWER: It is time to grow up and stop looking for others to take care of you and tell you what to do. Your friends are sick and tired of hearing you complain and resent the fact that you never initiate anything for yourself. You want to think you are a leader and doing your own thing, but you are just riding the wake of others or spending time running from decision-making.

In Brazil you get the feeling that you are required to mature, get a job, and start taking care of yourself, and you don’t want to. So you simply run away yet again. You are spoiled, and your father is helping to facilitate your dependency because he gives you whatever you want while making few, or no, demands on you. He would rather have you someplace else than in his face when you are being your unhappy, sad self.

You are not going to be happy anywhere until you decide what you want for the future. You are aimlessly drifting because you have no idea what you even like. Have you ever considered where you will be in five years, or ten years? You are not a child any longer; stop trying to take the benefits of one.

You could go and live in another country, but you would have to have some way to make money. Decide what you want to do with your life and then get the education or experience to make it so. The major lesson here is that you, and you alone, are responsible for your life. You can’t depend on others to make you understand about freedom of choice and creating your own reality.

Once you have a career or experience in the job market, then you will be able to move anywhere you want. Brazil will even appear different to you.
