Masters of the Spirit World

The following question and answer were received, answered, and printed on Dec 31, 2008. It seemed like a little reminder from a decade ago was in order – it is so very relevant to every year, decade, and century.

QUESTION: Masters, I know that human celebrations may seem a little artificial to you, being outside of planet Earth’s time zone. But the dawn of the calendar year, for us, is a time when we human beings like to make lists of “good resolutions.” We usually aim at things like losing weight, stopping smoking, and speaking nicely to our mother-in-law. If you were to make a list of good resolutions for humankind, what would it contain?

ANSWER: This question really started an interesting discussion among us. Our first point of interest was what we would consider a “good” resolution – you do know that we do not judge good, bad, or best. But then we laid semantics aside and dived into the issue. Our point of view was from a rather different perspective than yours might be: we looked from the angle of souls wishing to complete their mission to Earth. With that in mind, our list would read:

1. To become aware of our true nature.
2. To love all souls sharing this journey with us even when we do not like the nature of their chosen lessons.
3. To accept ourselves fully as we are because it is necessary for the path we walk.
4. To learn to banish all fear so we might see the lesson within.
5. To understand the lessons we came to Earth to learn.
6. To trust in the universe, knowing it will not give us more than we can endure.
7. To have faith in our self because we are divine.
8. To know we create our own reality, so we have the power to create what we need to complete our journey.
9. To be able to release the human ego to enjoy fully the unconditional love of the soul.
10. To live each day in communion with our fellow souls in unconditional love.

Happy Earth New Year to all!

Question: Masters please explain what sleep paralysis is all about and why some people have them and some people don’t? I started to experience them first time when my spiritual path opened for me. There has been a quite long break for now, but all of the sudden this phenomenon started again. And why there is this presence of a supernatural malevolent being? What does it mean? ~Salla, Finland

ANSWER: Sleep paralysis is a condition in which one gradually becomes aware consciously of their location but cannot move their body or use their voice. It generally occurs while returning to awareness from a sleeping or deeply relaxed state. There are many causes for this, both physically and spiritually.

Physically it can occur because of substances consumed by the person before retiring, such as alcohol or drugs. Sleeping pills are a huge factor. A person who does not have a regular schedule for sleeping, resulting in sleep deprivation, will also find this occurring. Sometimes the position of the body during sleep contributes.

Mental and emotional conditions have a large impact. If one is depressed, sad, anxious, uncertain, or fearful, sleep paralysis can be seen as a way to flee from having to deal with the world. Illnesses, particularly those involving the breathing process, contribute. Genetics and PTSD can also influence.

On the spiritual level, a person who is actively communing with their guides during their sleep cycle finds it difficult, on occasion, to return to the present life because they are in the middle of something in another realm. The physical body needs rest and relaxation time daily, but the soul never sleeps and goes wandering while the body rests.

Out-of-body experiences, astral projection, and sometimes even remote viewing can cause a person to sense that the body is separate from the “mind.” Once a person becomes aware of this phenomenon, they recognize it more frequently though it may have been happening for some time. When the period between awareness and movement of the body is short, some people don’t think anything is preventing them from moving and don’t imagine paralysis is present.

If a soul has been off visiting with other souls, the sensation of another being present is palpable. In wandering the nonphysical world, one encounters malevolent as well as benevolent beings. A spiritually aware soul senses the energy of those nearby and can detect both positive and negative vibrations. No discarnates have attacked or attached themselves to you.

QUESTION: Masters what is the relationship between Twin Flames and Soulmates? Are Twin Flames of our Soulmates from their own group reincarnating together, as we do not usually incarnate with our Twin Flames? Do we hang out with both Soulmates and Twin Flames in Spirit world? What is the difference in these relationships when we are in Spirit Form? Do I have a Twin Flame incarnated on Earth now by chance? ~Irina, USA

ANSWER: A twin flame is the last piece of Source that broke off at the same time as you; it is like a Siamese twin separated, whose composition is the same energetic vibration. You feel totally complete and are satisfied with being with them without taking the time to do anything else or learn anything new. It is for this reason that twin flames rarely are incarnated at the same time.

Earth is the only place to experience the opposite of perfection (which a twin flame connection is) and is used to gain wisdom about who and what you are. On the extremely rare occasions that twin flames are incarnated together, all they can do is spend time together to the exclusion of all else. If either had married before meeting, they would leave their spouse and children just to be in the presence of their twin.

“Soulmates” is the term used to designate the 144 other souls who were closest to you during individualization. The 71 before and after you, you and your twin. All of them have energy very similar to your own, and you feel their resonance when they come near you – that is if you open yourself up to the sensation.

Since you have been familiar with these souls the longest, it is practical to ask them to join you in your trip to Earth and to be a part of any contracts you want to be sure will take place. This is not a requirement, and you can approach any other soul who seems to have an interest in being on Earth at the same time you do.

The intensity of the twin flame is not as demanding in spirit form since you both are in the presence of unconditional love and receive same from everyone. You also do not have a body with nerve endings, emotions, and tactile responses. You have no sex and no need to be attached to only one other soul.

Who spends time with whom is a matter of freedom of choice when at Home. Remember, you can be in several places at once in your amorphous, energetic form. Few souls choose to maintain a set form when at Home because it is very limiting.

You and your twin flame had specific things you wanted to accomplish, so you chose to take turns incarnating. It is your time currently.
