Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters I would like to know about the euthanasia of sick animals. It’s something that worries me because my dog is very sick. Now I’m only treating him with aloe vera because the medications were making his condition worse. I did not want to have to “fall him asleep” but I do not want to see him suffer. ~Ana, Portugal

ANSWER: All types of physical bodies on planet Earth have an expiration date. They are affected by a normal progression of degeneration, chemical pollutants, and internal disorders. Those who have reasoning brains and communication skills can let their wishes be known to others. Those that are not so equipped must be tended by the ones responsible for their well-being.

With pet animals, a caring “parent” should be aware of their charge’s quality of life. Humans who ask for assistance can get their various distresses addressed through medication, stimuli machines, meditation, and surgical procedures. Animals cannot tell you what they are feeling, where they have pain, and the tolerability of same.

As you have done with the medications, you are aware of some of your pet’s concerns. But what of his quality of life? Put yourself in his position and imagine what you would want your human to do for you. Would you want to wither away with limited mobility, no enjoyment, and constant pain?

Euthanasia for humans is frowned upon by society, yet some nationalities find ways to end their suffering and move on so that they can get ready for the next incarnation. American Indians, and some Eastern Indians, stop eating, go out into the wilderness and assist their bodies in ceasing to function. Some humans in intense pain go to Source by their own hands, using over-medication, asphyxiation, or a bullet.

Animals in the wild, when reaching their expiration date, follow the path of the Indians. Human pets do not have that ability since they cannot live outside the home they were raised in. It is then up to their caregivers, much like hospice workers, to help end the suffering. In most countries, humans are kept in a drugged state until their bodies cease to function, and in some they consent to euthanasia where it is permitted. Evaluate what your pet would want: pain or bliss.

QUESTION: Masters, my Mum passed about 15 months ago. She had dementia and although I tried to be a good daughter, often I was intolerant and selfish. She was the most forgiving, loving person I’ve ever met, and I’ve been hoping for a sign or a message from her, to no avail. I don’t mean to be facetious, but would it hurt for me to see her or speak to her or feel her presence? My sister said she saw her dead cat so why can’t I see my mum? Would it be so awful for me to be reassured that she’s okay and forgives me? I can’t be the only person who feels like this. Can you say something about why contact is so difficult please? ~Karen, UK

ANSWER: First off, your Mum is great, having a good time with old friends. During the last period of her life she was not always, as you were aware, totally conscious within her body. That was all part of a life lesson for those around her. You learned quite a bit about yourself during that time – what you could tolerate and where your patience ended.

On a spiritual level nothing is right or wrong; all things are learning experiences.  You understand that your behavior at that time was not something of which you are proud. But it was created by the frustration of not having your loving Mum there to communicate with. Her soul observed but the body was unable to interact. She took no offense at anything that occurred during that time.

Now when it comes to spirit contact, you have to examine your expectations. They are keeping you from hearing/feeling your Mum. She has spent a lot of time near you, but you are looking for specific signs and she is unable to fulfill your desires. When a soul first returns Home, they sever all contact with the Earth plane and therefore enter into an amorphous, energetic state where they do not have a human-like body, so they have no voice box with which to speak.

That does not mean that they do not communicate; it is just more mentally than spoken. Instead of words you will receive “feelings.” They will be reminiscent of your Mum’s presence but not her voice. Remember the times she held you when you were upset? That is the sensation you will first perceive.

It is easiest to establish this connection as you are just falling asleep or as you awaken in the morning. Start the flow by greeting your Mum as if she were in the room with you – because she is. “Hi Mum, having a nice day?” “I remember the strength to face the day that you always gave me.” Don’t anticipate a specific response from her. Just be open to any sensations that roll over your body. Feel her arm wrap around you. That will be her.

If you have patience, avoid feeling frustrated, and continue doing these exercises, you will establish contact.

QUESTION: Masters I really need some help. And I’m hoping you will please answer my question. My partner and I have separated twice from some very bad behavior on his part. He seems very sorry, is getting help and said he is changing. He said we are soul mates and will be together again. I feel like every time I have contact, I’m under some kind of spell and start to believe him. I think he is a good person but the things he has done are so very bad. Am I being manipulated? I don’t know what to do or how to get away from it. I would really appreciate some guidance. ~Mj, Australia

ANSWER: You are like all the other souls who are inhabiting human bodies – you crave love and acceptance. It is the epitome of the human experience. Once you have enjoyed a fraction of what you seek, it becomes addictive and you can’t stop returning to it even if nasty things occur when you do.

Your partner entered this life with a ton of conflicting life lessons. His biggest problem is truthfulness and an awareness of, and sense of responsibility for, the effects his actions have on others. He is selfish and self-absorbed. He is not in a position to reform at this time because he does not seriously think that he needs to.

He will tell you anything he thinks you want to hear in order to get you to bend to his will. Yes, he is manipulating you. You are allowing it because he can be charming, loving, and appealingly supportive – if it suits his plans for what he desires.

You are giving him control over you. In essence you are saying that he knows more about what you deserve than you. This is one way that a soul can learn about themselves, but it is not too pleasant. The decision is yours. You can continue believing what he is saying, or you can really look at his actions and decide based on that.

It is easy to return to a known situation, but there are a lot of other potential partners out there who can be truthful and sharing of their life experience without manipulation. It is never fun having to start all over again, but you can look upon it as an adventure. You can also remain in this union and repeat the same events over and over again. You have total freedom of choice to decide.
