Masters of the Spirit World

Question: Masters I’m in a relationship with a man who is loving and committed to me; he has great values and is very much in love. The issue is that we come from very different backgrounds. He is a singer who succeeded but comes from a humble family and is a man of color. On the other hand, I earn a bit less than him but have a steady career (unlike his) and come from a family with position. I love him as a person but don’t know if I’ll ever feel at ease with him as a man. I don’t seem to be
accepting very well my own and other people’s prejudice, and also the fact that my lifestyle with him may be less than what I want. Should I leave him and search for someone who resonates more with me? ~Paty, Brazil

ANSWER: Personal prejudices should not have an impact on sexual relationships or the way you see a person as a potential partner. You are stating that how society might view your lover is more important to you than the fact that he would do anything for you and loves you beyond question. You have made the judgment, with the help of what others think, that he is not worthy of you.

What makes you think that you are so great? If your positions were reversed, would you voluntarily walk away from him because others think that you may not be good enough? Are you being blinded and influenced by what others may say, and  giving up your own feelings to fit into society? Take your decision-making power back from those to whom you have so readily bowed.

Souls come to Earth to learn who they are as a soul, and that all souls are from the same Source and have the same abilities and powers. The thoughts that you have once you get here create a set of belief systems by which you run your life. The first beliefs come from parents, teachers, and society and are accepted without question.

What a lot of souls do not understand is that part of your life’s journey is to review these rules and see if they feel good to you and if you wish to keep allowing them to control your decisions in life. If you wish to follow what you believe is “written in stone” – such as “I am better than he” or “he is not good enough for me” – then let him know about your prejudices, received from family and friends, and move on.

Right now your secret disapproval of him is not treating him fairly. Tell him what you think and why you think it. If you don’t truly know why you have these ideas, then it is time to review your beliefs and see which ones resonate with you. If third-dimensional ego lifestyle is more important to you than a loving, sharing companion, it is time to find a shallow individual who shares your prejudices.

Honor yourself and him by defining why you are acting the way you are. Make it your own decision, not just an echo of your believed position in society.

QUESTION: Masters could you be so kind as to share your views on marijuana? ~Vikki, USA

ANSWER: It is rather difficult for us to share our opinion since that is actually a request for our judgment on the subject. Here we do not judge what a soul chooses to do; we just observe. To provide some information for you, we will give you an overview on how marijuana fits into the life lessons of humans.

“Marijuana” comes from the use of products of the cannabis sativa plant. The active ingredient that produces an altered state is called THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), although there are at least 65 other substances that impact the body. Most people utilize the leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds in some fashion or other.

An easy application is to roll the dried product in some form of wrapper and smoke it like a tobacco cigarette. Other methods of ingestion are eating, drinking, or inhaling various products such as the resin or oil of the plant commonly called hashish. The effect on a human body is both psychoactive and physiological. In other words, the thinking process, state of mind, mood, and perception are impacted, and also various muscular regulatory processes are altered.

The use of marijuana includes consuming it for medicinal or recreational purposes. Medically the benefits are increasing in purpose. It has been seen effective in such areas as cancer anti-nausea and pain reduction, lessening of epileptic seizures, reducing muscular cramping from various conditions, and balancing out psychological situations.

Recreational uses involve a desire to be able to walk away from the stresses of the day, a blissful “trip” into euphoria, or releasing tension in the body. It is very much akin to the consumption of alcohol. The potential problem is that it can become a gateway drug to seeking out more-addictive substances such as cocaine and prescription drugs. Caution must be observed because too much ingestion can have a deleterious effect on the neurons in the brain and various organs of the body. This is also true of alcohol and smoking tobacco.

Marijuana has been used throughout the centuries in some religious practices to free the soul from the constraints of the body so that one might communicate with the spirit world.

The effects of everything souls put into their body are experienced for the lessons they may learn from the interaction. Substances may be intoxicating, nutritional, medicinal, toxic, or contaminated. Souls all have freedom of choice. From a spiritual perspective nothing is right or wrong – just an experience to be examined and learned from.

QUESTION: Masters my father made a fortune in his lifetime. While he has gifted me and my siblings and helped many, most was lavished on his wife and himself. While grateful for the small amount of security it provided, my siblings and I all struggle financially. Our step-mother who created none of this wealth will be in control when my father is gone. It is unclear if she will carry on his wishes and continue financial support. I am ready to independently create and experience my own abundance and security. I know all things are possible…what am I missing or not getting to bring this to fruition? What is the big lesson for our family that we wanted to learn? ~S, USA

ANSWER: Souls have no obligation to intercede in anyone else’s life. Your father owes you nothing. What he has slaved to receive is the fulfillment of the labors of his own work. What he does with his rewards is no one’s business but his. Once you and your siblings reached adulthood, he didn’t even have a societal mandate to continue providing for you. The fact that he did is an indication of his giving nature.

He has observed that his children have not used their resources to provide adequately for themselves, but he also does not want any possible initiative to be replaced by his continuing to bail you out and hold you up instead of forcing you to seek ways to take care of your own needs. He did not have anyone supporting him, and he thinks all of you can reach the pinnacle to which he has ascended if you put in the effort.

When people get things too easily, they don’t search out means to procure on their own. As you have said, you are ready to create and experience your own abundance and security – what has taken you so long to determine the necessity? Did you think that if you had done this before, he would stop with the handouts? A handout always means less work.

What has made it slow going in your journey to security is your attitude about your father’s money and the relationship with his wife. You are jealous of the fact that he chooses to provide for his wife instead of his children. That is his choice. All souls have freedom of choice. She has been able to provide emotional and physical support of which only a spouse is capable.

Once your father returns Home, what happens to the money will first be determined by his wishes as substantiated in a written will. All states honor the position of the mate, if one exists, over that of the children.

The lesson for you is not to depend on handouts. Chart your own journey and create it as your needs dictate. Understanding that your father has no obligation to gift you with anything more, let your anger and anticipation go. If your stepmother receives what is left of his estate, that is your father’s wish or he would have made other arrangements. Accept his decision.
