Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: I have a very strong feeling for a married man. I cannot stop thinking about him. We used to work together and were living in the same city. I moved on, changed my life and my job, and moved to another city far away from him, but I still think about him all the time. I have a Reiki master who tells me that this man is the love of my life and that I have to bring him to the light. He is married and he is going to have another child, and I thought that we were not going to meet each other anymore. Then I went to a Congress and he was there. I didn´t know he would go. When I saw him, he looked at me and didn´t say hi; he has run away. He is far away from me now. I would like to know how can I bring him to the light. Are we going to stay together as my Reiki master and another spirit are telling me? Do I have to believe them? Do I have to be patient? I really love him. Is there a way to forget him?  ~ALD, Brazil

ANSWER: You do not have to do anything that anyone else says to you. Being a soul having a physical experience (a human life), you have total freedom of choice to choose everything that affects you. You are on a journey of discovery about why you chose to come to Earth. It is a solitary journey in that no one can influence what you wish to experience. So too is this man. No one, not you or anyone else, can influence him to do anything he does not choose. That means that no one can influence others to go to the light unless it is their choice to do so. For your information, this gentleman is not in the dark.

What others are sensing around you is your concentration directed to this man. They feel your dedication to making some type of union between the two of you. This has led them to believe, because the energy is so strong, that this man is the love of your life. You have convinced yourself that he could be the love you have not had, but that is for lack of other candidates.

He does not feel anything for you. He is happily married and very much in love with and involved in his family. You have what is like a school crush on the most popular boy in class. You dream about being together when you feel depressed and lonely, and this only makes it seem more real that you belong together.

You have not moved on as you say. You have continued to count the passage of time but you are frozen in the first moment when you could see yourself in this man’s arms. You have written a whole stage play of your desired life and gone over and over your lines. It is time to write a new play with a new cast.

QUESTION: Masters, why do I fear death and spirits or ghosts so much? How can one be at peace with oneself?   ~Bibbio, Ireland

ANSWER: Your fears reflect your upbringing and the views of society, which have stuck with you both consciously and unconsciously. We call them belief systems. Most of the time you are unaware you are being affected by these rigid rules, even though they shape your life. Organized religions and society work on a basis of reward and punishment. If you don’t do what they tell you, you will be punished. In religion it is by going to hell. You start to fear death because you believe you will be judged by someone else’s requirements, so you feel the result is out of your hands.

Religions, and some societies too, feel that spirits are bad people who are caught in between Earth and hell, and should be avoided at all costs. You are threatened from an early age that the boogie man will get you if you are not good. You are told there are demons under your bed and in the closet—so go to bed and stay there. Is it any wonder that you have these fears?

To find peace, examine your fears. Take each thing, meditate upon it, and see what feelings come from inside of you. What do you associate with these thoughts? Then if you can put someone else’s face to the fear, give it back to that person and form your own opinions.

You are a soul who came from Source and returning there is called “going Home.” You don’t need to fear returning to Source, to your true essence. When you are between lives on Earth, you are in spirit form and wander around observing things. Don’t fear your fellow souls.

QUESTION: Masters, for the past two years, I have been undergoing a lot of physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation. When I tried to get information on the Internet this process was called “Ascension” and all 60 symptoms listed for spiritual awakening or Ascension resonated so well with me that I felt immensely at ease with my situation. Now the only thing I feel left is for me to know who I am and what I am here to do on Earth at this particular time. I am still not connected with my higher self to seek these answers. Could you please tell me how could I access my higher self to know about my true purpose? Could you do this for me?   ~Algen, India

ANSWER: Congratulations on all the hard work you have been doing on yourself. Now is the time to connect on a deeper level; in this regard you are just beginning. No one can do it for you, not even us. The steps that resonated with you were of ridding the self of third-dimensional human lessons by understanding them, and then starting to work on realization of the essence of the soul. This is accomplished first by getting rid of all fears and doubts, by learning to love yourself unconditionally, and by turning ego into heart feelings.

Start by meditating and asking constantly “what do I feel about his situation.” Throw your “thinking” out the window—that’s the influence of society and the ego. Feeling is heart energy. It is for your soul to determine its purpose in coming to Earth, which it can only do by your finding out who you truly are.

One of the first questions you should ask yourself to achieve self-realization is: why you don’t love yourself unconditionally. If you can’t feel the love of the universe within you, it’s because there are things you have called to you to experience, which are blocking your progress. Go in search of those blockages by starting with the question “what is it about myself that I don’t like?” Clear them one at a time and you will begin to see the higher self. Happy journey!
