Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters I would like to know the most efficient way to do meditation. I started to meditate a year ago and after some time I was able to notice changes in my life including physical and emotional. I have cried a lot since I started to meditate, got confused and I didn’t want to be around anybody. I guess I changed not sure if it was for better and at this point my marriage is almost over. Am I in crisis? I know it may take long time, but I still have trouble to calm down my mind and lots of times I feel that I am snoozing when I meditate but I am aware of it. Would you kindly help so I am able to feel more peaceful? ~Rachel, Canada

ANSWER: The true purpose of meditation is to be able to communicate with your higher self, or unconscious, and to access both spirit guides and a review of your life without the conscious blockages that help you maintain a peaceful third-dimensional life.

In order to meditate, one must be able to shut down their thinking, reasoning mind, which is always “telling” you what to do and think. Some refer to this mind as a gerbil in a cage constantly running around on his exercise wheel, or a group of chattering moneys that won’t shut up. Shutting it down is much easier said than done, since you have spent your whole life depending on that noise for direction.

There are many types of meditation techniques, but some become so restrictive that you only spend time on perfecting the method instead of clearing the mind. These include the numerous breathing techniques, mudra or finger motions, chanting, and visualizations.

Attempting to shut down the thinking process may be accomplished with self-hypnosis or some repetitive body motion that engages the mind while not having it involved in conscious thinking. This type can be seen with walking meditation or possibly doing a labyrinth, washing dishes, or knitting.

Once reaching a meditative state, you may access the life lessons that you are working on. This can result in releasing things you have clung to that you no longer need. Frequently this release brings forth emotional reactions such as crying, laughter, sadness, or elation. It is common to feel “lighter” after such episodes.

When dealing with very emotionally charged memories, even your unconscious will sometimes disconnect so you don’t re-experience trauma; this will manifest as your “falling asleep.” As you have seen, touching your inner self brings about realizations that you could not obtain in any other fashion. You are doing great – keep it up.

QUESTION: Masters, since my childhood, I have had visions of dangers approaching me in my dreams. I’ve seen earthquakes, or traffic accidents, or fights before they happened. Even sometimes, I feel people around me – their feelings how they feel projecting my feelings even sometimes so strong I’m not even sure I’ve emulated their feelings. From long distance friends in trouble I can feel they are in need of help and find out they actually are. What’s happening and how can I isolate it as it’s started to ruin my life. I don’t believe in coincidence as its way too much. After these things started my mother told me when I was kid someone in my father’s dream whispered my name before she even got pregnant. He was so afraid from the dream itself he didn’t choose that name, what’s going on? ~Matthew, United kingdom

ANSWER: You are extremely sensitive to the emotional vibrations of other souls having a mutual physical journey with you at this time on planet Earth. When someone projects thoughts of what is happening to them, you are able to pick them up and almost take the place of the participant. With your ability to “time shift” – that is, to go backward and forward in time – you see the other person in situations they are drawing to themselves or actions the planet is in the process of going through.

You have the ability to continue “seeing” these projections or to stop them by blocking the connection. Be aware: this is an ability you were well aware of before you came, and you decided that it would allow you to help mankind if you so chose. You have already done this in telling some people about your “dreams” – which encouraged them to change their plans, thus preventing the problem.

While this is very unsettling for you now, it is a skill you meticulously perfected during a past life. Your thoughts were that it could be a neat adjunct to a career in this life. You could use it to become a reporter, an author, a rescuer, a counselor, or a historian. It is also like gathering a useful tool to protect yourself since you are aware of potential dangers you might be walking into.

The voice your father heard was actually yours. You had decided it would be really cool to choose your own name before you came into the body you now inhabit. You waited until he was in his resting cycle and then appeared to him and pronounced the name you wished to be called. You hadn’t anticipated the fright you would deliver with the name.

QUESTION: Masters a few days ago, I met a wonderful man – loving, honest and truthful. We could be with each other only for 2 days. I sensed between us closeness and silence and love that I haven’t felt elsewhere, apart from mutual attraction. Within this extremely short span of time, we were faced with extremely difficult choices and emotions as he felt committed elsewhere. I wish to what was the purpose of this meeting? Was what we felt between us merely sexual attraction? Are these feelings mutual? Have we known each other before? ~Bodhi, India

ANSWER: You had a very strong sexual attraction to this man. You are a romantic at heart and saw it as an answer to your prayers for a loving, fulfilling relationship. You immediately began to dream of a lifetime together because this contact made you feel so good. Nothing had ever been this intense before, so you convinced yourself that it was something you had planned for this life.

For the man, it was also a response to his sexual attraction and really nothing more. This man is in a committed relationship and has no desire to leave it. When he found you so willing to follow your attraction to each other, he took full advantage of it even though he knew he did not want it to interfere with his current partnership.

You went into this affair pulled by your emotions and girlhood dreams of a fairy tale union. He was spurred on by a bout of sexual frustration that he had to satisfy. His thoughts were for releasing his tension and having fun with a very willing and attractive person.

He does not love you as you have convinced yourself that you do him, but he would have no problems carrying on together with you whenever you find yourselves in a same situation as this one. It would never result in a permanent, committed relationship.

This lesson for you was to be able to discern reciprocated true love from infatuation and sexual attraction – to analyze and differentiate the actual occurrence from a dreamlike desire. In a spiritual sense, this was an acknowledgement that the human body has certain needs that it is best to meet rather than always be left with frustration.
