1.4 Re-incarnation Question Would you know whether we were together in another lifetime, maybe in Egypt? Answer Other times, other places, other names and other faces! We have (all who are here Now), been together at various times. Our present state of progress is what brings us in touch with one another, and that is more often the reason that we meet again, than that we have pledged or striven for some future re-union. The choice of such a happenstance is usually not of any person, consciously; gathering together often results from overall intentions (not theirs) and as a natural consequence of events. To put all of that in a shortened form; where there is an artist's climate there you will find artists (engineers, chemists, same idea). The most common error amongst humans on the path is to endeavour to make sense of it all in an orderly, comfortable way, i.e., "we are doing this because of this", etc. But one needs to have a basic trust in events. Once it is realised that the emotions and perceptions have been rendered neutral then they can be trusted. You can plan towards a goal, but beyond the natural effort towards achieving this goal, one needs to flow with the tides. How can one force what is not meant to be? Look towards your future, but live life as it comes without too many questions, just remember that one who is on the correct path will find the way perhaps rocky, but generally uncomplicated. One knows when the direction is right. Look more inside oneself for confirmation, as each one of us has our own correct solutions which have been gleaned by the super spirit on its travels. One thing can be said, when great exciting predictions are made, through seers and those who draw attention to their strange antics, take care. There goes a troubled spirit in need of someone, who has relinquished their control to unworthy spirits. We here do not play games with humans; we also seldom make great prophecies through anyone. Look at the great healers and seers, they were disciplined in their manner, and they were more interested in furthering healing and growth in the human condition than in producing excitement and soothsaying. True seers reach their knowledge through a strong psychic ability, it is not given to them. Live your life each day as it seems right to you, and is in harmony with your surroundings and with your fellowman. As I have said before, if there is no harmony, look to yourself and then to those and that about you, you may be trying too hard at something, or you may be in the wrong area. It is really simple if only you humans would not demand proofs and blueprints, there are none such as you picture, for they are there within yourself as a firm feeling of rightness and growth. Know thyself, then trust that what is meant to be will be. (29.8.85) As people have often expressed great interest in contacting those they know who have "passed over" it is a good opportunity to widen their thoughts on the whole subject. Just having a message from "beyond" is not growthful, not producing further inquiry in so many minds. If those persons can believe that their relations have survived, then surely they would be ready to consider the whole question of death and survival in greater depth. Birth is not the beginning, it is an intermediary stage; death is not the end, it is a beginning, because life here on our side is the reality and on your side the animation from the spark of life is but a learning time, a time away from "home" - you are at boarding school. Some, many in fact, manage quick visits away, even as far as home at times, by the mind/soul travel. Very few, none I would say, aside from the adepts, manage to penetrate to this side before their time, it is often a case of our spirit and yours meeting part way. Half way? I won't tell you that, not yet. Evolution is no different from re-incarnating, it is going onwards, hopefully progressing, evolving certainly. In nature the proven worth of a genetic feature is what makes it become adopted and moulded into tie norm, for humans we have the choice, improve or come around again. It's our own choice in every case so there is no real coercion, just sometimes a reluctance to re- birth for a while. Some wish to rest, some to study (there is much more implied here) and then again some are eager to have a review and a visit with family and friends, a quick renewal of purpose, then back they go into the fray. More and more now we need to awaken the people to what this world is all about, but they must first express an interest to know. I caution all of you as it is like any "hidden key", if the inclination is there it will be activated by the correct words, meeting, attitude or whatever. So we are not blowing the muster call for you all to go forth and preach, we are simply saying that those interested in spiritual survival should be given the chance to learn more about it and not just catered to with messages and thrills. (12.3.85) Question Does an induced birth affect an incoming soul? Answer No. The incoming soul is not geared to arrive at a specific time unless there is a very strong reason for this, which would be to gather the influences of particularly strong, advantageous, or adverse planetary emanations. However, as these emanations can be overcome or built on by an aware person the ordinary birth is not that closely timed. Induced births(if not for convenience reasons) are a sign of physical or psychic imbalance and that is another thing that way or may not have been allowed for in preparation (damaged foetus etc.). Convenience induction can raise karmic questions for the doctor if that is his nature, obviously he has his priorities wrong. The same applies to the parent(s) on the condition that it was really idle convenience (there could be other reasons). Looking at all this from a common-sense point of view and allowing for free choice, flexibility and so on, a few days/hours of (induced) arrival difference would hardly affect the incoming spirit. (2.6.85) Question Will you please elaborate on karmic debts between a human being and a specific entity on another plane. Answer Karmic debts are acquired as we go through each of our lifetimes. They are certainly usually created by our relationship with the persons we encounter in that lifetime. Sometimes the debt can be less personal, such as to a people's, a country, the earth matter, animals and so on. The personal debt can carry on for just the one lifetime with the other person i.e., it is discharged during the following re-incarnation, whether the wronged person is present or not. But when that person is not present then it is for he/she to decide when and how the debt has been paid. To forgive, in your lifetime, someone else, lightens the burden for you both, but the debt must still be honoured, which is why the release may come as described. When forgiveness has not been given during the earth cycle of the wronged person the release in more difficult for both, and at such times it may take a number of life- times for each before balance has been achieved. Sometimes the wronged person needs to work through their own problems before they are able to release the debtor. This does not stop the person owing from paying that debt but they still need, finally, that final releasing. It may sound quite complicated but it is not, one needs only to forgive and release those who wronged them, then live rightly to gain release from their debts; remember, if you atone you are released, but the final confirmation needs to come from that other before your heavenly body will feel completely happy. The old saying "don't speak ill of the dead" came not just because that person could not justify himself but because none of the living persons were so guiltless that they could condemn others. (We are not speaking of the so-called monsters of evil etc. although even there one cannot shine purely). Forgive and set all free, speak kindly if you must speak of anyone, and never fear, for the scales of justice are impartial and inanimate, all happens without harm to those who strive. (2.12.85) It is very odd to see how humans hurt and thwart one another for the strangest reasons. Just a hint of resemblance to someone out of favour and the poor victim is made to pay anothers dues. There is no joy to anyone under the circumstances and it usually adds to each persons karma for the next meeting. Some entity here can watch added debts being created, and even if it is on the original protagonists side it still means that they must be allowed to be worked off, albeit passively on the one side. There are meetings and pairings or groupings that some entities would be quite happy to avoid, but if they are advanced enough they may agree to it as assistance to the other. For if you owe a great deal and the debtee does not wish to participate then you usually have a very hard time - certainly one miserable lifetime paying your debts off spiritually, overall, instead of directly to that one person. So that if a very evil person was forgiven completely by his victims and they refused to enact against him on earth or wherever, he has to pay a universal penance for all of the misdeeds and that can be long, unforeseen (as no deliberate interaction can be reliably set up with so many and unknown persons involved) and may stretch beyond one's lifetime, plus the danger of accruing more karma because of frustration at the ambiguity of it all. Somewhat like "everybody hates me", or even "nobody likes me", and it could in fact be true due to an inner defect. So we are always pleased to see protagonists soften somewhat before the deathbed scenes, for those of course do not count for a great deal, in most instances. So remember to look to your actions and their motives. (20.4.87) An incomplete soul (in reference to a visitor with problems). Animals can recognise when there is not a complete connection between reality and the other realms. So many people get into that state when they cannot face the realities of their life, or karma as it actually is. When souls re-enter a body without the correct dedication or without having faced, even then, their actual abilities and goals, they arrive half-prepared and even in childhood usually, can see that something is missing or awry between themselves and their surroundings. Not all, by any means, in such a state have noticeable, i.e., mental or emotional problems, for they are often able to disguise their doubts by adopting a facade and staying within it all of their lives. Many of them then drive towards perfection, or money, or powers Turning their dislocation outwards they can become teachers or scientists, sometimes medical people, and quite often in the ministering lines. When one finds abysmal failures there, as in popularity, method of working, overzealousness or over-solicitous, and a refusal to see their faults, becoming baffled and resentful at their lack of success, one finds those entities who cannot accept their limitations. It often takes many life-times before they will take heed and settle for patient working-out of karma. The longer they retreat from their own particular reality the longer it takes to work off any existing karma, let alone that which is built up along the way. With such people there is a need for long-term and consistent influence, which they generally avoid, and too often in the final countdown it takes a great shock or calamity to reach them. So do not feel too baffled by such persons, they do not listen to anyone here either (11.2.88) . There are more spirits ready to become part of your family in time. They come along from time to time to watch the flow, for directions or situations can change over a period of time. Uncommitted souls can also opt to change to another family line because of eagerness to re-enter the world, or a desire to stay here longer for learning, or perhaps has seen a more apt framework. There are souls who wish to work out karma without becoming too emotionally involved in the family sphere. It's not a case of right or wrong, each soul must, in the final decision, make its own judgements. There is as much diversity of foibles here as there are there, perhaps not quite as much but it often seems so. (13.2.88)
