Do we program our thoughts?

Tuesday, August 6th, 2019

QUESTION: Masters so you said that everything on earth happens as the soul wishes to experience it, does that also mean the questions and thoughts in the mind that I go through? Is this the same for anyone else that can relate? ~Sophia, USA

ANSWER: Souls come into the duality of the planet in order to have a physical body with which to help them find out what powers and abilities are intrinsic to their essence from being a piece of Source energy. They had decided before coming to Earth what particular lessons they desired to work on while here. Those tasks were not elaborated specifically but were general in nature.

For instance, if one wished to study addiction, they could have set themselves up in a family where the parents were addicts and the temptation of following their example was prominent. How is this a lesson, you might ask? Well, the soul has total freedom to choose what actions they are going to take in life. Are they going to follow society and use ego judgment to determine their place? Or are they going to turn inward, using their energy to evaluate the alternatives to decide what they may learn from and what is destructive?

Having decided what lessons to work on, a soul will always be in the right position to have the choice of direction. Thoughts are completely human. In this instance, they come from what the person believes is true from the input presented by those around them. If they don’t want to make decisions themselves, they will follow the thought patterns of society, in this case other addicts, and never follow a non-addictive route, therefore not learning their lesson.

The only way to work through lessons is to set aside the group mentality and go inside to the inner wisdom. Feeling, not thinking, is the only way to move forward spiritually. Since most humans work through their actions in their heads, it is important that they are relying on the feelings coming from within and not just the opinions of others. Thoughts are not pre-determined. This is the laboratory classroom space for working out the answers.

Life lessons and karma

Tuesday, July 30th, 2019

QUESTION: Masters I would like for better understanding what’s the difference between karma and life lessons that you always said? ~Thaís, Brazil

ANSWER: Life lessons are the reason that souls become human to live in a duality where they can learn through the choices they make. It is not possible to fully appreciate the powers and abilities that Source has given to souls (the pieces of itself that it broke off) while the souls are existing in the unconditionally loving energy of Home. That can only be done when souls are presented with the positive and negative sides of any human characteristic.

Life lessons are chosen before the soul enters into the human body. They are not specific – that is, not exactly as the testing will appear. This is partially the choice of the person and how they are leading their life during this time of study. Whether the lesson is accomplished depends on the individual, and what happens after that is also up to them.

If a lesson is not completely comprehended, the soul can choose to try it again in that lifetime or in another lifetime, or just move on to something else. There is no obligation to carry an incomplete lesson on through that life or into another. Nothing but the memory of what was chosen, and the results attained, affects the soul because no negativity exists outside of Earth.

Karma is a belief that the person will be made to pay for something they have done. This is the punishment aspect of society’s ego judgment. Since judgment requires negativity, it can exist only within the duality of Earth. It does not travel back to Source, nor does it hang on to the soul and require retribution.

The action of “karma” is frequently blamed for bad, or negative, choices made by people. It has also become an excuse for lazy people who do not work hard to understand their chosen tasks. It is not an actual energy, just a belief based upon a thought provided by others in society. In spirituality karma does not exist. 

Is violence a life lesson?

Tuesday, July 23rd, 2019

QUESTION: Masters, are violent acts such as murder, assault, rape etc. part of lessons and chosen before incarnation, or are they an indication that the person committing them has ignored their lessons and repressed their positive energy, turning it into anger, hate and violence instead? ~M., India

ANSWER: Everything occurring within the duality is a life lesson. Negativity only exists on Earth, so it is the only place where one might experience the hideous events you mention.

A soul chooses the various categories of experiences it desires. Generally there is not a determination of exactly what will occur – just that they want to be in control in situations involving others. If one’s journey includes all aspects of sexual activities, that might lead them to rape or sexual enslavement. If they are studying loss of control, it would contain acts of rage possibly leading to murder.

These facts are their lessons; they are not something they fall into because a gentler lesson has not been completed. All lessons are undertaken in negativity, which is why they can only be engaged in while in the duality of Earth. It is using one’s freedom of choice to move from a negative lesson into a positive love phase that shows the soul understands their journey.

An incarnate experience is taking that anger, violence, and hatred and recognizing that there is another way to live and interact with others. This is the trip through your lessons. All the negative possibilities involve the ego judgment of the human mind. It decides that it is the better, the badder, the only one who can make decisions for all. 

The knowledge of the chosen lesson is accomplished when the ego is put aside and the soul comes out and turns to loving evaluation. This can occur with any person who is truly working toward self-understanding. You can assist in this transition by sending unconditional love to all who are struggling with their work, with the intention that they might see what they are doing and choose to embrace the positive.
