Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters is the soul present at the point of conception? Or at what point does the soul enter the human body or fetus? ~Holly, USA

ANSWER: When a soul is ready for a human experience, it chooses the parents who will help set up the scenario it seeks for its desired life lessons. It places a marker, a tiny attachment to the fetus who is beginning to grow. Rarely, if ever, does the soul completely sit in the fetus for the entire gestation period. A new soul who has not had too many incarnate experiences generally spends more time in the fetus than an older soul who has done it many times. Most find it boring to just sit there and observe the actions of the mother.

During development of a body, the soul is too busy saying good-byes to associates, planning other adventures, and visiting other locations. It will be in and out of the fetus so that it may partake in some of the pregnancy events while not missing out on completing departure visits to old acquaintances. A part always remains within.

The soul has to be in the fetus when it emerges from the mother in order for the body to be viable. If the soul completely leaves the fetus – removes the connection – the fetus dies or is stillborn. The soul has until the moment of the fetus emerging from the mother to decide whether or not it wishes to be born. It may also determine after birth that it has taken on more than it wishes (or perhaps it has made an agreement with the parents for them to experience the loss of a baby), and then it leaves and “crib death” is blamed.

The soul is never completely contained in the human body. Part of the soul’s essence remains in the unconditional love of Home with Source energy. During periods of sleep, meditation, and hypnosis, the soul may send more of itself off to other locations.

QUESTION: Masters how can I tell difference between ego-based feelings (falling in love) compared to true feelings of higher self (love)? I met new person: I feel surprisingly strong about him although I hardly know him. Is it my ego falling in love or is he someone I made deals before this life? ~Ulrika, Finland

ANSWER: Ego really doesn’t have feelings; it merely has judgments. Within ego, things are good or bad, right or wrong, better than or less than. Feelings are the sensations you get when you identify with an emotion or energetic sensation and it either resonates with you or repels you.

Ego is based on thoughts, things such as opinions that have been stored in your head/mind from what you have heard, read, or seen. Basically it comes from the general thinking of the society where the ideas originated. It has nothing to do with input from you, yourself.

If someone is ultra-nice to you and says they love you, then you assume they are serious because that is what society tells you love looks like. If another never mentions the love word but you sense with every sensory part of your body that they love, want, and respect you, then you feel loved. The first is a judgment based on ego, while the second is your soul using your own evaluation from feeling things you have catalogued from this lifetime and others.

The energy surrounding a person also gives you an indication of their true intention. If they have little negativity and exude positive love energy, you know they are love and mean what they say or imply. You and your new beau didn’t make specific plans for this lifetime other than to meet at some time to see where you were in your respective journeys and if you wished to explore each other in this life.

QUESTION: Masters my question is about karma. What is it and how to know what is my karma? If I am indebted to someone, also is someone indebted to me? How can the two situations be resolved? ~Andreia, Brasil

ANSWER: There is much misunderstanding about the word karma. Within Eastern religions and practices, it implies that one who acts in a way that is considered to be negative is responsible for balancing that energy with performing a positive act of equal strength as a type of punishment.

In the spiritual practice, where negativity only exists on planet Earth, nothing is right or wrong and no one carries over punishments from one life to another or one act to another. The only type of punishment that exists is what society enforces against one whose actions go against the laws established to protect the majority of the people, and then that takes place in the same existence.

Souls come into a body (incarnate) to be able to use their freedom of choice to learn lessons. This is done in negative settings, since lessons are presented in negativity, and people have to see that they can learn by choosing the positive opposite of this negative test. If their choice has them going against the law, such as murdering another to see what ultimate control feels like, they must pay the consequences of Earth justice by going to jail. But that is not karma. They were aware beforehand what society thought about their actions and knew the resulting payment that would be required.

All souls undertake their Earth voyage as a solo journey; they aren’t connected to the actions of another and no one is dependent upon them. In other words, you are not indebted to anyone, and no one owes you anything. Be truthful and honest with yourself in the lessons you work through.

Understand and establish a strong degree of self-love for the difficult tasks you decided to come to Earth to perform. Acknowledge that you may involve others along the way in your travels, but the spiritual journey itself is your responsibility.
