Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters I was sexually abused by a trusted adult for many years as a child. I am healing and learning about how this ties into my lessons for this lifetime. I have felt the urge to help people who have suffered this type of abuse. I want to write and speak publicly about my experience, resilience, and healing. However, childhood sexual abuse is a very heavy topic. I have been reading teachings that encourage people to move away from thoughts that don’t feel good. Naturally, it doesn’t feel good to dwell on abuse, but I know how prevalent this type of abuse is, and I believe I have the power to help others. I also feel compelled to shine a light on this epidemic of abuse. I know only I can decide to do from here, but a nudge in the right direction would be helpful. Am I meant to help others through this work? ~Shauna, United States

ANSWER: Most of the readings where people are told to step away from their unpleasant sensations have to do with one of two things. The first is standard psychology where the therapist tells the person to assume coping mechanisms that cover up the sadness and don’t do anything to heal or understand the causes.

The second is the spiritual principle of manifestation where the soul chooses between negative and positive energies. These choices are most easily accomplished by going into the cause and removing the trigger that is coming out as discomfort. It is in this second category that the work you suggest would benefit so many people.

Sexual abuse is a hot button issue everywhere these days, and the “me too” movement has allowed some women to speak out for the first time because judgment is set aside and their experiences are being dealt with as a stumbling block to mental health.

You fully understand the spiritual growth to awareness as to why you have chosen to experience this abuse. You may not be able to talk to everyone in spiritual terms, such as freedom of choice, but you can allow them to see that the guilt, lack of self-worth, and hiding from their trauma can be reversed.

As you have said, the choice is yours. Be assured that the path will not be easy but the benefits can be substantial. Letting others know they have a voice and can change the way they see themselves is monumental. Know that your first target group will be women’s safe houses and clubs. Start slowly and the demand for your words will continue to rise.

QUESTION: Masters I have worked all my life, (almost retiring) but I’ve never had enough money to make my dreams come true. Why I don’t have enough money to buy a house, travel abroad with my children? All doors are locked to my dreams. Why? I pray for understanding and to be happy when other people are happy and their dreams are coming true (when mine are not). What am I doing wrongly? How can I go on? Help me please. I want wisdom to live my life! This planet is so beautiful, I’d like to travel and learn other cultures. I also want wisdom to guide my children as good human beings. ~Simone, Brazil

ANSWER: Where do you get the idea that you had planned to have a life anything different than you have experienced? Not everyone will be able to attain everything that they can possibly imagine within their lifetime. The important thing is that you have learned the lessons you came for and understand who you are as a soul.

Dreams can be totally unreasonable, and what happens for someone else may have been done merely for you to observe and learn from the observation. You chose the situation in which you find yourself. Making the best of what you have will bring you happiness if you allow it to.

Wisdom is the result of understanding what something is and why it has occurred. It is not just a knowing of the possibilities but the probabilities existing within your environment. It is an examination of the results of your choices and what you have learned from understanding them.

Your present situation does not have to continue unless you keep seeing it as the extent to which you can grow. When you consistently tell yourself you don’t have what you desire, the universe thinks that is the way you want to live, so it accommodates you.

When you retire, explore the possibility of volunteering in other lands. Study up on customs in places you would like to visit so you will fit right in. Express to your children that they do create their own realities but they have to have the building blocks before they can build it.

QUESTION: Masters, would you share with us your thoughts on manifesting, where thoughts create physical realities into 3D form? Are some events and things pre-destined already? And can we create whatever we desire to experience from a state of love and non-resistance? ~Kerry, UK

ANSWER: All souls are pieces of Source energy and therefore have the same powers and abilities that Source contains. That is your essence when in energetic form and carries over into an incarnation only to the extent that it does not interfere with the choices made for learning in that life.

For instance, you could theoretically heal or regrow an injured appendage if your lesson did not consist of learning to deal with the limitations imposed by that condition. But it could be done after the lessons of dependency and flexibility were achieved.

Manifestation is the method by which a soul creates their own reality in a human plane. The purpose of it is to promote the educational process by producing the ideal environment for the chosen lessons.

Since the purpose a soul incarnates is to learn about using the powers they have and the tests they chose, enlightenment comes only through unconditional love, faith, and trust in who you are. Every time you learn something and incorporate it into your human existence, you are manifesting your future for that lifetime.

Nothing is absolute in the learning process, so nothing is wholly predestined or predetermined. Loose goals are chosen for the direction of your existence, and your freedom of choice decides how they will progress.

The idea of manifestation has many envisioning successes and riches. That can be a part of your life, but it is not the ultimate destination. Use it to complete your chosen life lessons and then move on to the enjoyment phase that is left over before you return Home.
