Masters of the Spirit World

QUESTION: Masters, we recently suffered the loss of my stepdaughter in a brutal murder. Until this experience I did not believe in an evil force present here on Earth. But now, after this, I do know evil is here; I can feel and sense its existence. It moves away when I move my thoughts. Does evil live among us?                             ~Susan, USA

ANSWER: Planet Earth is set up as a duality. There is as much negative or evil energy around as there is positive or good. A person who has concentrated on a positive life may be totally unaware of the evil that lurks so close. It is not until something shines a spotlight on the negative that you see it for the first time. You may always keep it at bay by surrounding yourself with the white light of love or positive thinking.

It intensified your tragic loss to come face to face with the continued feeling of the cause of your loss. This is a lesson for you to understand that you don’t have to accept or give in to a union with evil. As you have already seen, you can keep it away by removing it from your thoughts or counteracting its influence with your intention. Evil does live everywhere on the planet, but you don’t have to have anything to do with it.

The beautiful soul who was your stepdaughter had a contract to leave when she did in order to complete lessons she wished to experience. She does not want you to be overwhelmed with the situation and the aftermath of her passing. You cannot forget what has happened, but at the same time, you definitely don’t have to welcome the feeling of negativity to take up residence around or within you. See each day as a fantastic day filled with the love of the souls with whom you choose to associate. As for those who need evil to fulfill their lessons, allow them to deal with it as they must. Fill your world with love.

QUESTION: Masters, please help. I am frightened and desperate. Every part of my body seems to be contracted. I am breathless and anxious. I feel lifeless, and very depressed. My head feels heavy and hot, full of energy—yet I can’t think clearly. My solar plexus feels full of the “me” that I can’t release. I feel a complete absence of me. My neck muscles are tight, my eyes, nose, and mouth are painful. I feel ungrounded and un-centered. I have difficulty in walking. There were traumas in my early childhood, but I can’t remember. I had no bed of my own. My masculine side is disempowered. I feel a trapped baby in my solar plexus. Smells overwhelm me. I can’t connect with outward emotions. The most releasing thing I have ever done is to be buried in the earth for 2 hours. My body shook. Then happy noises came out. ~John, UK

ANSWER: You are a soul going through a terrific transition. Your higher self is trying to get your attention to get you to go inward and bring the fears from your youthful life lessons out into the light. You have had so much trauma that you have all your emotions buried behind doors and under layers of denial so that they will not affect you. Without emotions you cannot respond to day-to-day situations. When you do try to feel anything, all the coverings prevent you from touching what you need to see and feel to be able to accept and deal with these issues.

This is a process that you will not be able to do by yourself. Just as you felt most comfortable when you were buried, you need to get out of your conscious mind and away from the stimulation of your body. One of the ways you would be able to do this is through hypnosis. A hypnotherapist who has experience dealing with childhood and inner-child issues will be able to help you confront, understand, and start to resolve your problems.

This will not be an easy or a fast procedure. You must start by presenting a clear intention to your conscious mind and the universe concerning where you want to be. You must decide who you desire to be as a person. Define the characteristics with which you wish to live in your life. Your consciousness perceives you as many people of several ages, each one of these signals some turning point in your younger life. Your goal should be to unite all your selves into one being. This is the way to happiness for you.

QUESTION: Masters, my partner left me 6 months ago and that threw me into total despair, but since then I have done a lot of inner work and am now at a much better place—much more joy and self-love. I don’t even recognize the person I used to be. It is clear to me that the break-up is a life lesson and a gift for me to face my fears and to be whole again. I still desire a love relationship with my ex so much, and know if we have a new relationship it will be so beautiful because I now know unconditional love. Is it possible for me to manifest a relationship with him again, although we have not been in touch at all? If so, should I take action to get in contact with him or leave it to the universe? I am now focused on being joyful and enjoying my life, and would love to have him in my life again. ~S., Singapore

ANSWER: Take a good look at the person you are now—you have worked hard to be who you are. A good portion of that work was discovering the fact that for years you were controlled in the relationship and did not make your own decisions. When he left, you were forced to see that you possessed much more ability than you imagined or had given yourself credit for.

Remember it takes two to tango. He wanted to be the dominant in the relationship. It was when you began to question some of what was happening and wanted to start taking a little more responsibility for your own actions that he decided to leave. You were no longer an agreeable little pet. He has not changed—he is still a selfish, demanding person.

You could pursue a renewal of your partnership but it was never that, and it could never be a partnership. To get back together you would have to go back to the obedient little girlfriend who waits on, and takes care of, the man of the house. He has moved into a relationship where he has some shy person who has self-image issues, just like you were when you began with him.

To get back together you would have to throw away your new-found unconditional love, self-love, and joy. Instead, use your new gifts to manifest a worthy partner—one who will enter into a sharing, loving relationship where you are honored for who you are, not for what the man wants you to be. You are a beautiful soul; bring in a beautiful, loving, whole person to share your life. You deserve it.
