Dialogue with Spirit Guides--The Big Picture

2010-05-18T20:43:00.000-07:00

Here's the poster for our upcoming Dialogue with Spirit Guides event. It was designed by Sacha as a gift to us and I think she did a splendid job. We're looking forward to inviting the guides to speak through Jane to answer questions about the big picture on June 11.

To see the guides responses to recent questions, please go to our new website by clicking here. Some people were having trouble registering at the new website earlier but I think this problem has now been solved. And you don't need to register to post a question....or to read an answer from the guides.

Allowing yourself to make a choice and move forward

2010-05-17T07:33:00.000-07:00

Becky writes, “I am in the process of trying to clear out the clutter in my house and then move. I can not seem to come to terms if I should rent my house out, sell my house, have my boyfriend move here and we rent his house out, move in with my boyfriend and sell my house or buy a house and move in with my boyfriend. So many options and she’d like some guidance.

This dear one is afraid of losing, afraid of losing this state of being. A little bit of a control freak but not so much that she can’t understand it and move forward. To be -- is being all that you are, allowing yourself to grow and move forward. Owning all parts of you that need to control. It’s not something to be afraid of. If you see it for what it is you will embrace it and move forward.

This feeling of being unable to step forward is a fear that you will be unable to control what you have. You build walls around you my dear. You need to understand that. Is it for protection? Or is it for…control. They are one and the same. Blessed one. Take time to understand your choices, take time to see what is truly before you. This urge to get things organized is simply an obstacle that you have created in order to not move forward.

So if she wants to move forward, what should she do?

First, be. Stop all tlhings. Be still. Take stock or witness or truly see who you are. I know you have. And those things cannot be removed taken away from you by moving with another being. Understand who you truly are—a true survivor. It’s not about the move, it’s about losing that that is. When you see that and understand it you will understand that you will lose nothing by making a choice. You will only grow.

Thank you.

Dreams and a sense of kinship with a certain person

2010-05-15T21:28:00.000-07:00

FS asks about dreams she has been having. She says, “For about five years now I have been having dreams about a man I know that I will call M. We are not close and I don't know him that well but I do feel a certain something. I am not sure how to describe it -- kinship maybe or familiarity. I definitely like this man very much. Is there any other reason for my feelings or the dreams or are they simply thoughts passing through my mind.

Interesting that she says “simply thoughts.” For this an amazing thing in itself: thoughts passing through a mind. And why would they be there? The dreams of course are all creations of her own being: needing, wanting this kinship, this knowing, to be more familiar. The fact is she does know this being from a past existence. And it was a very interesting relationship then. And yes, there is a certain thing that they have yet to finish in this lifetime, but it is not a major promise. This being (FS) has chosen a very many promises this lifetime and that’s why she has very little time to find pleasure for herself.

Allow it to be. Give it space. Do not put a lot of words between the two of you. Allow the feeling from one being to another to be. And you will see in time. I know what you want my dear. Allow this to open and it will be what it has to be.

Thank you.

Past lives, regimentation and and self acceptance

2010-05-14T13:18:00.000-07:00

Jennifer asks about past lives. She says, “I wonder if you can tell me how past lives affect me in my life. I have struggled with self-love and self-acceptance for most of my life and wonder if this is residual feelings from past lives or if these feelings developed as a result of experiences in this life? I recognize self-acceptance is a major goal for me in this life and I feel like I'm having troubles breaking some of the negative coping strategies. I asked a question several months ago about my spirit guides and response mentioned I was in some ways fighting the regimented aspect of my being. I'm wondering if this refers to my challenges with self-acceptance and if you can provide any insight on how to work on it.

This gentle being needs very much to take a deep breath—a physical breath. To fall in love with the physical world, to see it in all its wonder. Her process definitely relates to past existences as all are present in the vibrational code of who she is. Her spirit is a compilation of all elements of learning from past and present. The task of loving oneself is one of putting honour in your own learning and growing. It is sometimes a difficult task in the physical world. The greatest challenge is to love oneself and thus take on the choices and fulfill the promises to the best that you can. If you do not love yourself the promises are very distorted.

Yes it is true from a previous existence, a monastic lifetime, there is a part of her wanting and not wanting to have some ritual. But at the same time she understands that it wasn’t the rituals that created the growth. Part of her fears and doesn’t like rituals but part of her also feels they may be a key to unlocking self love. Her previous existing was not about self love; it was about teaching that everyone else was more important. So I am not surprised that she now has difficulties with this.

Also, in the path she is in right now she has been concerned about the wellbeing of others in her family and their state of strength and their ability to carry on and be what they needed to be. She saw this very clearly and so was learning how to help others instead of herself.

This was in this lifetime you’re talking about?

Yes.

So this feeling about regimentation and resisting it may come from that monastic lifestyle?

Yes.

Any final words for Jennifer?

Dear one, I want you to fall in love with yourself and your world. Don’t be afraid to see yourself in the image of nature about you. It was created for you: to see, to bring pleasure to bring growth. It doesn’t have to be all difficult. You are a beautiful being. You love to love, to laugh, to find joy. All of these are tools in this physical world to find out about loving.

Thank you. I’ll pass these words on to Jennifer.

Dialogue with spirit guides--the big picture

2010-05-13T18:06:00.000-07:00

For those of you who live on southern Vancouver Island, we’d like to share our plans for a second Dialogue with Spirit Guides event on June 11th. Jane will be onstage at the Belfry Arts Centre and will invite the guides to speak through her to answer questions from the audience. The focus of the dialogue will be on the bigger questions—things like life purpose, the planet, the environment, health and healing. Maybe you’d like to ask about social issues or religions and spiritual practice. Or terrorism, or life on other planets, or what happens after death--the questions are endless and this is a rare opportunity to ask them directly of the spirit guides.

The evening itself will also be part of a big picture. Local filmmaker Krista Loughton and her crew will be filming the session for a documentary on Jane’s work with spirit guides.
We’re excited about the film aspect of this evening, as it’s a way to continue our work bringing the wisdom of spirit into the physical world. Audience members who are willing to be part of the film will sit on the main floor of the theatre. Those who don’t wish to be on camera will be seated in the balcony.

If you were at our event last October you’ll know that Dialogue with Spirit Guides is not a scripted event. The content of the evening will depend upon who is in the audience and the questions asked. But one thing is sure: the spirit guides’ love, light and laughter will offer a fresh perspective on our lives and can open our hearts and minds in a powerful way. We invite you to join us on June 11th to consider the big picture.

Tickets for this event are $25 and will be available in advance through the Belfry Arts Centre Box Office at 250-385-6815 and at the door. If you live nearby, please help us to get the word out about this event by letting your friends of co-workers know about it. We’re looking forward to a fascinating evening. Hope you can join us.

Old connections and bonds of love

2010-05-12T07:01:00.000-07:00

Many years ago I dated a young man that my family did not like. They said he came from the 'wrong side of town'. He moved away but I always wondered about him over the 40 years that I have not seen or heard from him. He was a gentleman and so kind to me. I cared for him deeply but knew that my family did not. Last month an acquaintance from that time came back into my life. We have many similarities now. I spoke of this man and said that of all the people I wonder about from my past he is the one I would love to hear from...love to know something about. I have said this to several over the years. She had seen him in the past 5 years and told me what she knew about him. Three days later he called! It felt as though I called out to him and he heard it several thousand miles away. We have been talking on the phone some since then. I'm married. He's married. My spouse is like roommate to me and a nice man. Can you enlighten me?

Dearest one, you are very lonely, but you have never shared this with the mate you have. You have expected that he should read your mind. God love him, but he cannot read your mind. This being you reach out to, yes, you do have a bond with this one. But you do not have the richness and the history of a life as you do with your mate. It was not always as a roommate. Before you make any choices, take time to invest the excitement you have with the other one, into the one you have right now. No, I am not saying it will work magic. But you have to give him the opportunity.

You have been so self reliant, efficient, doing and being for everyone, that you are exhausted and empty and need filling up. Love yourself by speaking of your needs. I know you are afraid. You can do this. Open up to your mate. In time, you might even tell about the other connection. You must try everything for you are a being of such high standards and that the thought of hurting another being will cause you great pain. I know you say that you need to be held up for a while. Give him a chance to hold yourself up. Give yourself more time before you make any decisions. You are a beautiful being, trust in this.

Changing over to our new website/blog

2010-05-11T15:54:00.000-07:00

Our new website and blog is almost complete and so there will only be a couple more posts to this Dialogue with Spirit Guides blog before we switch over to posting just on the new site. Please make a point of changing your favorites to http://www.circleswithincircles.com now so that you won't miss any posts.

All of the original posts from this blog have been transferred over to the new site and we have been posting responses to questions/comments from this blog on both sites for a couple of months now.

The new site has a powerful search tool that will make it very easy for you to find posts by name, title, or key word. We are also posting to a reduced list of categories so that you can see other relevant posts on a similar topic. Both Jane and I hope that the new website will work well for you.

Don't worry, this blog won't be deleted. It will have a final post with a link to the new site.

Wanting to erase a relationship from her mind

2010-05-10T15:32:00.000-07:00

Carol asks, “I would like to know if Hank considered our relationship a form of entertainment. Were there ever any feelings or motivation from him to spend time with me for meaningful reasons or was I just a joke? Just another ego boosting female admirer? I tried to be open with him - I probably tried too hard. I should be thankful for knowing him but I feel like a fool and wish I had never met him and wish I could erase any memory of him from my mind.

Dearest one, you would not change loving. You are perfect in your journey to love and to find joy. Yes, you dream and have expectations. This being has great difficulties, you know this. He has inabilities to move forward and chooses to stay in a state that you could not be.

Do not erase any part of your brilliant path. You learned, you grew and the exchange of love helped another grow, not one you have known about. You have often helped many that you have not known about. Do not erase any part of you. You are magnificent: being human, feeling pain and trusting. Loving, laughing, crying--these are exquisite abilities always, not only in this time of physical experience. Be willing to thank yourself for allowing yourself to grow, allowing yourself to feel, and allowing yourself to move forward radiant and strong. I know you often make fun and laugh about it. You are richer, you having lost nothing. Bless you my child.

Waves of colour and spirit communication

2010-05-09T09:26:00.001-07:00

KF writes, “I am wondering what the waves of purple with tinges of green and electric flashes were please. Thanks and love.”

If these are the visual signs that this one is seeing (as opposed to many other signs that are trying to be made clear to this one), it is simply a way of communicating that there is more, that they are present, that she is not alone.
Entities of light seek ways in which to reach you that you will find the familiar comforting and not fearful. You are a being of great light, of great artistic ability. Of course, they would choose these ways in which to say, “Heads up, I am here.”

Extraterrestrial life forms

2010-05-08T15:24:00.000-07:00

Anonymous asks, "Are there aliens or extra terrestrial life forms on planet Earth now?

There have been visitations. Dimensions have collided. Yes, it is true. But they do not live and walk and cause chaos as is thought. You must ask yourself if you fear the unknown? Or do you welcome that that is? This is more to the question that you ask. Your fascination, your fear, holds you back my dear.

Fear and spirit guides

2010-05-07T10:09:00.000-07:00

Rose asks, "Are the spirit guides who have been behaving in a tormenting and torturous way towards me for over two years now being affected by the Planets? Meaning, for example, when Mars is retrograde, or Jupiter coming into Aries in the 8th house, or any other planetary movement? Do spirit guides attack humans in order to work out Karma from a previous life? Thank you."

Blessed one, a spirit guide is a guardian, a helper, a healer, a being of light that grows through your growth, through your forward movement. There would be no purpose for a being of light to frighten or inflict any station which would cause the being to not grow. These things that you are referring to are created from your own fear. You manifest all manner of fear with which to frighten yourself.

Blessed one, you are a gentle and kind being. You have great expectations of yourself to reach a certain height. You judge yourself harshly. I want you to radiate the love and light you are, towards yourself. There is nothing in spirit that would harm you any way. Why do you create these actions against yourself? Perhaps it gives you safety at this time. But you are about to release that and allow the radiant being that you are to be the peace and love that you have always been. You have adopted many conditions and understandings from other information, not from those guides that help you. You seek information from many ways, but your filter is clogged with fear, dearest one. I say this not in judgment. But that is where you felt safe for a long time. Fear has kept you at a distance from trying new things where you felt unsure. You know the phrase, there is nothing in spirit that can harm you. Planets do not alight to cause chaos. Energy moves through all things. Be light. Be love.

Fear of standing alone--trusting in yourself

2010-05-06T17:29:00.000-07:00

Nancy asks for a sign from her guides that her life will be better. She says, "I feel sad and get so disappointed with people and with myself. I get sad when I think about the loss of my marriage and the loss of being a mother. I had big dreams for my marriage and now I am alone. I fear being alone for the rest of my life. And I am sad to think I'll never have a child. In the past you have told me that there were children who wanted to be with me and a new partner I could choose to be with. It is so hard for me to believe in this because I am to old to have children now. I would like to know if this special person his still there for me and how would I know he is the one for me? I want to grow old and be happy with that person. Is it possible?

Dearest one, you want a written contract from somebody proving that it would be safe to take a step outside of your prison. Dearest, there is no proof. Progress lies in your willingness to trust in your own self. It is true, you have put all of your trust in other beings that have held you limited. There is so much knowing within your mind and in your head, you are afraid of your own choices. You are afraid of your own free will. You do not know where to turn, or how to be.

So, how to begin doing this? It is best for you to begin by trusting in yourself. Practice each day of speaking to yourself about your own strength, your own ability to make choices for you, of having no effect on others, but yourself. Oh my dear one, you have fought against the wind and yet the wind knows not of you. Start at the beginning of who you are. From the very beginning of this life you have struggled to take on your own power. You have seen yourself through the eyes of others and tried to fulfill this. Allowing your desired to be held in the in the hands of others. Begin by taking back your power, Nancy. Step out. Do something for you each day, for your choice, for the good of you, for the healing of you. It is always been at your choosing. Nothing is lost if you are leaning. Learn about you. Learn about your fear to stand alone. And allow your world to open to you.

Opening your heart to the harmony of the world

2010-05-05T15:49:00.000-07:00

Jennifer had a question about her past lives. She says, "I'm wondering if you could tell me how past lives might be affecting me in my current life. I feel as though I have struggled with self-love and self-acceptance for most of my life and wonder if these are residual feelings from past lives or if these feelings developed as a result of experiences in this life? I recognize self-acceptance is a major goal for me in this life and I feel like I'm having troubles breaking some of the negative coping strategies. I asked a question several months ago about my spirit guides and the channeled spirit mentioned I was in some ways fighting the regimented aspect of my being. I'm wondering if this refers to my challenges with self-acceptance and if you can provide any insight on how to work on it?

Dearest one, once again around the circle. It might seem like the same issues return and return again. But each time you have ascended, your vibration is higher, your choice is different. And it is true that if you really take time to step aside to see your path, you'll see you are a far more evolved being now; gentler, move loving to yourself. You are now choosing to help yourself, not of anger, but from a belief in love. The true understanding of love is when you will look outside yourself and see how perfect it all is. You will feel the harmony of your world. You will feel its heartbeat singing. Do not center so much on the inability but rather focus on the ability of love that you have. You think so much, dearest one. I am sure the clogs of your mind grow tired. But all is for a good purpose, I know.

So, be gentle and kind to yourself. Know that you do and are trying. I know the limitations of time in the physical world, sometimes it's as if you have your feet in cement. But they are not. The heightening of one’s vibration happens with a choice, with opening your heart. You are doing well. You aren’t limiting yourself any more.

An adventurer in a past life

2010-05-03T22:10:00.000-07:00

Lindsay wonders if you could tell her who she was in one of her past lives that affects who she is today.

All of them affect who she is today. Dear Lindsay, you are the sum total of all of the experiences, all of the moments and the hours and seconds. Every moment of torture and splendor. All affect you. Perhaps the adventurer that was willing to conquer mountains and find new places--that being is very much a part of you still. You were tired of the old and wanting the new. You loved change and you embraced those that offered change You do well, my dear Lindsay.

Struggling with decisions about work and relationships

2010-05-02T20:45:00.000-07:00

PF asks, "Are there are any words or suggestions to help my friend BBR with his struggles with decisions about work and relationships? Do you have any suggestions to improve our relationship?
Thank you."

Dear PF, you must understand that the reason for this situation right now, is not only that your friend needs to grow, but you as well. Your relationship is often hiding, in the guise of whatever is acceptable to talk about, leaving you feeling quite empty. You know that your friend is his own worst enemy. But you find it very difficult to find the words to express it. Perhaps, if you use yourself as an example, by talking about your feelings it will help him or her (whichever you wish to call this being now). This being has been very...well, a difficult one, a difficult path. But, unfortunately, the struggle is self-imposed. Be of light. Be of love.

Moving forward on your path

2010-05-01T08:08:00.000-07:00

CF writes, "For the past year or so, I felt stuck. But I now find that although I made no changes I feel quite content and optimistic. There are a lot of things going on around me and with people that are close to me that my human conditioning tells me I should worry about and yet I feel that everything is going to be abundant and wonderful. Can you explain what is happening.
Also, does my little one know how much I love him?

Yes, blessed one, you have grown. You have moved forward on your path and that trust and knowing is deep within you. At first, when growth is at hand the vibrations can often feel uncomfortable. But you have taken steps, although you may feel they were not so. It is often, after the fact, that it feels this way. Regarding the people around you, it is true, you can only be responsible for yourself, your actions and your choices. Trust, that they all will do what they must do to complete and fulfill their paths. And, as far as the little one, everyone knows that you are filled with love and light. Be at peace little one.

Reaching peace about past decisions

2010-04-30T08:21:00.000-07:00

Roslin seeks guidance about money she lent to a couple ten years ago. She says, "The loan and the investment were supposed to be for six months, but here we are 11 years later and it still has not come back to me. The people involved have kept in touch with me over the years and keep telling me that the money is coming and to keep having patience. But I am loosing faith in their integrity. And my debt has grown a lot over the years. Can you shed some light on this issue for me? I am very stressed about it and it is causing me a lot of anxiety and anger. Is this karma I have brought onto myself? Can I trust these people who were supposed to be friends to do the right thing? I am really confused. Do I go after them with legal means? Or do I finally let it go and forget?"

Dearest one, I want you to see yourself right now. You do not even know yourself. You are a being of light and love. And you are seeking love and acceptance. And, you gave that that you could not give, as if a part of your heart. Separate from this. See who you are: an amazing being. If, in that gift, you have learned and grown then you have received what you will from them. Is that a bitter pill, or is it great growth? Dearest one, you are more spiritual than any you have ever given money to. You are more enlightened than most of the beings you have give enlightenment to.

Would you please look upon your own image and know who you are? Cling not to past decisions. Accept what is, accept the learning you needed and honour yourself for that. That pain still holds you back to a time of disappointment. But it is not about what they didn’t do, it is what you didn’t do. Release yourself my blessed one for you have much to do. Perhaps you need to celebrate, right now, who you are. Celebrate how magnificent you are and how you need only to seek your own truth. For you are more evolved than all that surround you. Trust in this my child and be at peace.

Cues to help find the next step

2010-04-29T08:16:00.000-07:00

Laurelee asks if she is fulfilling her promises. She says, "I am concerned that I am not living to my fullest potential. I do not feel I have a full sense of direction in my life. I am stuck. I keep going around in circles with analyzing and sorting what is my next step. I need to know where to focus my attention and please be specific as possible."

It is interesting to me how this blessed one judges herself as not living to her full potential. Why? What are you that you are not being? And therein lies a choice. For whom are you limiting who you be? Have you always lived under the choices of others? Or, will you choose for yourself to be free and then choose who you wish to be with. You seek my child, everyone but you. You walk and in your mind you write books, poems and stories and songs. But you feel them idle chatter instead of a reality. I am not surprised that you feel that there are two sides to you. Which side do you step into? That must be your work, dearest. How to choose for yourself? Sometimes we need a few cues.

Let’s begin with your body. Think of something that you might wish to do. So, begin with listening to your body. Sit quietly and listen to your body. Does your heart race? Do your fingertips tingle? Does this lower body or abdomen feel tense? Do you notice a ringing in your ears? This is listening to your body. It is an amazing tool to help us remember what we need to do, to help us make choices.
Take some time, don’t judge. You are doing and you are being.

Don’t say it is not to your full potential. Often when you are in the middle of the greatest work, moving in leaps and bounds vibrationally, you might feel that there is no one, that you are alone or not growing, or even helpless. Yet this often comes before the greatest knowing. I cannot say enough to love yourself. Be still and know this.

The difference between spirit guides and other spirits

2010-04-28T07:58:00.000-07:00

Moe writes, "I would like to know why your guides say that no spirits can hurt you? There are so many people who get attacked by spirits (slap, kick, scratch even things been thrown at them). Thanks.

Yes, it is simply a difference in words, dearest. A spirit guide, an entity of light, one that has moved to the light or dwells amongst a distant domain, would never hurt you or harm you in any way. You are talking about something different--a person whose spirit has left the body but still remains in the physical world. A spirit like this does still have the ability to cause great chaos in that physical world. Mostly, they only cause fear as there really isn’t anything they can do to harm you. They can make a lot of noise to gain attention, but they need only love and help to find their way. They often do not know that they are still within the physical world. So, they need to get attention and often seek it in most unattractive ways. But these ones that cause chaos are are few and far between (just as when they are alive). Be patient with them. They have just lost track of what they are doing. If you have such beings in your path, then be still and find a way to communicate with them. Talk out loud for they cannot read your mind or know your spirit vibration as a guide.

Joanna's note: The guide here is talking about what we might call ghosts. You can ask them to leave you alone and suggest that they go to the light.

Love, pain and growth

2010-04-27T07:36:00.000-07:00

Aurora writes, " I am truly thankful for experiencing the many ways and shapes of love, but within the appreciation and enjoyment of it all my heart has some sadness. What is your advice for a sad heart, a lonely heart, a broken heart? Why do our chests hurt so much when someone we love does not reciprocate love or hurts or disappoints us? Thank you."

Yes, it is true the same growth that causes the pain--it also causes forward movement. At the same time your heart may feel bursting with joy, it can feel the sharpness of pain--but it is still growth. Awareness, knowing--it translates in the body as pain. But it is forward movement, so do not see it as negative.

The wonder of you is that you can feel that great love, or lack of. It is truly the love you are feeling. What do for this? Honour this, rejoice in it. Know that you are such a magnificent being that you love wholly and completely and you feel it inside out and upside down. But in truth, this is how the body magnifies the growth. It is positive even though the pain may feel negative. Often, where there has been an unwillingness to love, and when the step is finally taken, and not fulfilled completely by another, there is a sense of emptiness, a love unfulfilled. This too is growth even though it might not feel like it. Dear Aurora, do not try to mask the pain as is so often done in your world. Be in it, feel it, as this is the best way to soothe it. Gentle one, give yourself love.

opening the door to a knight in shining armour

2010-04-26T11:48:00.000-07:00

Meaghan says, "I feel I am completely ready for my Knight in Shining Armour. Not so much a rescue mission but a mutual rescue (if you know what I mean). Am I right, and is there anything I can do to open this door?

Dearest, dearest Meaghan, you have such an analytical mind. You want to cross all t’s and dot all i’s and make sure all is done perfectly. You need to relax. You need to know that perhaps you want him in a car, instead of a horse. Is that what you are asking, my dear? Blessed one, you are going to have your knight. He will be much more modern and very beautiful which might frighten you, at first. But, in the meantime, be sure to just open your heart to all of the joys that surround you. For there are many that want your attention, to just bask in your light. You’ve noticed this from time to time. You seem to give forth your wisdom without even understanding what it is about. You are doing well, my dear. You will have your partner, do not worry.

It's about making choices for yourself

2010-04-25T08:53:00.000-07:00

Sandy asks about her future with a man. She writes, "I have been involved with a man, R, who is now facing some big questions in his life. Will we end up together, or is he meant to follow another path?

Dearest one, sometimes you wonder if you have hitched your wagon to the wrong horse. Have you put trust and faith in someone that didn’t deserve such trust and faith? Have you made dreams on no foundation? All of these questions you ask yourself. It is not about his choices and his next steps. It is about yours, dearest. And you are not breathing. You have put your life on hold. You have been waiting and waiting and now you want an exit. You have every right.

You are tired of waiting. Are you tired enough to use the words to put the actual words out there? Are you tired enough to hear what is truly being said and shown by his actions? Do you love yourself enough to make choices to live your path, the path that you so deserve? You deserve all of the light and love that is there for you. Do I answer your question with questions? Yes, my dear for you are in a time of great growth. You are anxious. You are almost frightened, but don’t be. Take deep breaths. Be still and make the right choice for you. For you.

Mountains and plateaus in life

2010-04-24T08:54:00.000-07:00

Zarah writes, " I would like to know if I am coming to a plateau in my mountain and if not how can I make this happen? Or should I prepare for more vertical terrain? I am ready to learn without such a steep climb. Thank you and much love."

Dearest one, the life path of an evolved being is often all uphill. I don’t want to disappoint you, but it is often the case. Naturally, if you turn around and look down that mountain, you will see that it actually was quite a beautiful path. Many that you touched, honour you. Know that many, many look at you as a leader on a path to the light. Plateaus--there have been many actually. But, perhaps they just were not big enough for you. Dearest one, your life path is about growing, opportunities to grow, to live, to move forward. You know yourself. You know very well, all is good. Even though there is good and bad, all is good. Love yourself my child. Take more time to dance on the plateau. Perhaps if you pay more attention to that time, you will get to stay there longer. You are loved.

Fear and growth

2010-04-22T19:52:00.000-07:00

Rachel asks if she is doing any better. She ways, "I know I slipped off the track a bit but feel like I am back on it and not so afraid anymore. Is my fear mostly gone or do I have further to go? Many thanks."

How do I answer when you know yourself, in a way, that the fear was familiar and it kept you from moving forward. And when one sees, truly, into the darkest part of the fear, one knows that it has a purpose. No, you do not need to run from saber tooth tigers anymore. But it stirs up old and ancient things in the human condition that are still needed even today. The obsessive-compulsive nature of your being, if I may use those words (no, you are not limited by it and it does not own you). But there are parts of you that like to do these things because they still help you. Still, for that was familiar and you have released it, or accepted it--it be the same thing. And you have also accepted the unique amazing being that you are. Know that you can help so many others by speaking, by teaching and by reaching out with an open hand. You are a great healer, my dear. Trust in this, for yourself as well.

A spirit presence in the bathroom

2010-04-21T16:49:00.000-07:00

Andrea Reed asks about what she believed was an entity in her bathroom. She writes, "I would find inspiration daily when showering or brushing my teeth and always thought it was due to doing a mundane task, that allowed my mind to open to new ideas. Then one night I felt a presence there and suggested that if it was an earthbound spirit that it should go to the light. I believe it was and that it left. However I suddenly now realize that since that event, I no longer receive this inspiration in this room. I do believe that I can connect to my guides, but this feels a bit different. Plus I had also 'seen' images in that room late at night but never connected the two. I appreciate any insight you can provide me on this. Thank you so very much!! I enjoy reading all the posts."

No, dearest you have not told your guides to go away. And even if you did tell your guides to go to the light, they dwell there. The being that was visiting you, actually, was an old relative who comes from time to time. Your oneness with the entities that surround you is a constant. They are always there. But at times you find yourself somewhat distracted. Perhaps it would be good to give yourself a little more choice about them. Bless you my child. Be patient.

Relevance of starseeds and other phenomena

2010-04-20T21:18:00.000-07:00

Tyler asks, "Can you give any insight into the relevance of the 11:11 phenomena and it's relationship to starseeds, thank you."

You will seek truth in many ways and it can be given in many ways. You, my child, will take the unbeaten path and seek out like many that have come before you. Talk about the light, the energies and the vibrations. There are many truths known only to you. You have skipped from physical dimensions back and forth and that is why you seek all knowledge of the physical barrier and the mystery and magic within. Yes, there is relevance to all of these things. But, don’t just seek the old path; seek new ones. Trust in your own wisdom. Many that have taught these ways of the enlightened one are in truth are to heal their own paths and their own need for answers. Seek your own answers, my child, and you shall find them.

To stay with him or to move on?

2010-04-18T19:11:00.000-07:00

Becky asks if the man she is involved with is the best choice to be in a commited relationship with. She writes, "Is this relationship in my highest good? I know that everyone has imperfections and that there is growth to be had and things need to be worked on but ultimately is my longterm future with this man? Or is there another man waiting? Thank you

Dearest one, you are answering your own question. For you know in your heart you are not feeling balanced. There is a great amount that you do not communicate with this one. Not to say that this did not have a purpose and that you have grown. When two beings do not grow together, when one grows faster then the other, it can be a time of waiting for the other, for their growth to take place. But if it does not take place, survival of the being must be most important. You must understand that you have grown and you must be who you are. Trust that what is at hand might be a need for to move forward. Trust. Do not be afraid. I know you're saying “throw the baby with the bath water”...but you are not throwing anything away, my dear. You have been struggling to keep something. Dearest one, love yourself, release yourself. Dance in the light.

The sense of heightened vibration

2010-04-17T16:19:00.000-07:00

Sandra writes, "Dearest spirit guides, in human form and in spirit form, thank you! I found it hard to read your response as it is true. It is hard for me to let my light shine. I have hidden. I journeyed into the depths of my darkest cave and I experienced the luminosity of my being and I can no longer hide. I don't understand what that is yet, what it looks like, but I trust the process. With sincere, heartfelt gratitude.

Questions: In the past week or so I have been feeling a great energy touching and "buzzing" my heart center. The last time I felt this was a few years ago and I knew who it was - there was a strong heart connection. But this time, who is it? What is it? What is the energy for?"

When a being grows, or makes choices, their vibration is heightened. When you choose the most positive route or the most positive action for your being, your entire vibration heightens. When this happens, there is often a feeling in the physical body of the heart bursting with sheer joy, a knowing. This is what you experienced, blessed one. A true wonder with all manner of being. In time, you will be able to discern who is near, and far, and communicating, or not communicating. But right now just honour your growth by loving your being exactly as you are doing. You are doing beautifully. And yes, your vibration is higher. You often even feel that you don’t touch the ground.

Romance and youthful love

2010-04-15T16:50:00.001-07:00

Sarah recently met someone and fell instantly in love. She says, “I felt a deep connection with this person but issues of distance meant we couldn’t be together. I’m finding it impossible to move on. I can't think about anything much else. Is there a genuine connection between this person and me and what does it all mean? I'm only just 21 and have never felt this for someone before in quite the same way.

Dearest one. You are a true romantic and you want all of it. That being, yes, that being has awoken a part of you, but wasn’t meant to be for a long-time knowing. (Not to say that there wouldn’t be a chance again.) The important thing is for you to understand your growth right now. You are a joyful light. For you there are three people that you can meet that you could love and be with for a very long time. And a time will come when you will be very confused about choosing. But I want you to understand your wonder. To see what light you bring to others when you allow them to see you. You often are quite shy. Show your light my dearest. Draw in the love you want and deserve. For you will have that wonderful romantic, youthful love. Trust. Time is not a burden, but a great joy for you right now.

Dreams of a mother who has passed on

2010-04-14T14:42:00.000-07:00

Lisa lost her mother six years ago to breast cancer when she was expecting her first child. She says, “I lost my Mother 6 years ago to Breast Cancer and was expecting my first child at the time, My Mother passed on May 5, 2004 and my daughter was born on May 10, 2004. I was very close with my mother and lately I have been having dreams. In my dreams my mother is alive and I am overcome with joy but then she tells me in the dreams that she still has Cancer but is alive. The days following these dreams are very melancholy for me. I do miss her more than I can bear at times especially with her never meeting her granddaughter. But why do I have these dreams? Can you help explain this ? Thank you.

Dearest one, much of what you are experiencing is the shock and difficulty of that time because you were so in the process of giving that your physical being could not tolerate all the terrible tragedy you felt. So you put it on hold. And, of course, as every anniversary comes around, every cell of your being’s memory brings it forward to feel it, to heal it. It was horrific for you. Truly your words are truth--more than you can bear. For you put it to one side for a while and now your being truly feels it can bear it and wants your mother close.

Your mother is close, my dear. She has seen her grandchildren. Knows her well. They communicate; do not worry about that. Speak to your mother whenever you need to. Whether it be in happiness, sadness or gratitude. The bond you have with your mother is not gone. In fact, it is more intensified, as the love is purer now than ever. It is not complicated by the physical barrier.

She is near, but doing what she must do. And you must do what you must do. Grow, teach, be all the things that she helped you to be. You must now be these for your child. And this way, your child will know her more and more. There is no end, my dearest. It is a circle within a circle. All things are known. Your child will help you to learn this. Trust.

Thank you. When someone reads the answer on the blog, do they also connect with your energy at the time?

Yes.

Meeting people in our dreams

2010-04-13T12:09:00.001-07:00

RMW asks about dreams. She says, “I am very much confused about dreams. When we sleep do we leave the physical body and travel? Are the other people in our dreams created by us or do we actually meet people sometimes? Do we see other lives and dimensions or is it just created for our growth?

I have been studying my dreams for a long time and trying to interpret them but they continue to puzzle me. I have read so many different opinions from people here and they are all so different. I was hoping you might be able to explain it a little. I am forever grateful for your help and wisdom.”

Dreams, yes. Well, you are referring to many different things. Some of which are dreams, the creation of the mind to deal with many thing that have occurred in the day to put it all in place, to put it in an understanding of the mind. Dreams can also allow you to meet someone that has passed on to the dimensions, this usually occurs and it is truth. This usually takes place at the very beginning of sleep, the twilight time, or just before you awake. In these two stages one is a receiver, very open. And thus you can meet and greet and have great resolution to many things with beings that have been in your life. In part of the deep sleep that is actually part of your creation, the dream. The putting together of all of the pieces, each being you manifest in a dream is part of you. They may have the face and body of someone in your life, but it is the creation of you and how you feel about them and how you feel about yourself in your dream. I hope that helps somewhat.

Who are the spirit guides

2010-04-11T10:18:00.000-07:00

Kirk asks for more information about who these spirit guides are. He says, " I have never really seen you mention 'who' is talking and I wonder if questions are answered by different guides by the way they are kind of answered differently."

This is the truth, my dear. We are separate entities, as you are. We are individuals with our own processes, our own evolution, our own growth. We have come to the time when we no longer fit vibrationally in the physical world, but our domain still evolves and grows. Each being [person] has many [guides] at a time, but always has one. And these [guides] are unique but often share many of the traits with the loved ones they help. There are also those [guides]called universal, or simply the most evolved beings. These are ones that are not contained at any one time but have great diversity. You will find the wisdom they share gives you a greater perspective. Some of the very personal entities [guides] that are with you may seem almost like your best friend. Fear not, for a guide will always speak positive and will always be in the position to help you, to assist you in furthering your growth. If you think the words are negative they should not be used to cause an action of growth, for they [your guides] will never be against you. They will always be for you.

Joanna's comment:

Hi Kirk, this is a great question. The guide's answer above addresses some of what you ask and also talks about people's individual guides. The answer here may be a little confusing because the guide uses the term "beings" for both people and guides. I've put some clarification in square brackets above where I felt it might help.

When Jane channels there are usually a couple of different energies that speak through her. I would say there are about four or five different guides that have come through at different times to respond to questions. Some of them seem to be more lofty and evolved and others may be more connected to our day to day life. Although the answers have different approaches it's my belief that all of the guides offer truth and help for the person who asks the question, as well as for others who read the interaction.

But we always tell people that they must allow the answer to sit with them and take from it what feels right for them personally. There is a lot of wisdom in what comes through but it's only helpful when you're individually ready to hear it. If it doesn't resonate, just let it go. Hope this helps.

Promises and meditation

2010-04-07T17:28:00.000-07:00

Robbie asks if he has any promises or agreements to keep? He says "I have great interest in meditation and i would like to take it further, maybe go out on my own and go into deep meditation and work at achieving desirelessness. I can see that when you are alone it can be hard but it can also be joyful and there is great growth but would i not be avoiding relationships and taking the easy route? I have to calm the mind, it wont leave me alone! I appreciate all your help.

Dearest one, if I told you what your promises are, it would take from your growth and that would be a very, well, unusual thing for me to do. And then you would not fully grow and succeed in that that you need to do. I would never do this. But of course you have promises. You say take the “easiest route” but dearest, yours is not the easiest route. You often look upon others as having the perfect life. You think of yours as alright, but as missing something. Each being that you meet on your path is important. But when you meet the one that you have a definite promise with it will be as if you go into automatic pilot. And you will find yourself deeply entrenched in it without much thought.

Dearest, you will find that very wonderful being. Do not worry if some seem will seem not so important. Cherish this time as important for all who are growing--not just for you but for them. You are an evolved being, seeking, willing, wanting. There is a time coming when you will laugh that you thought you didn’t know about what your promises were. For in fact, there is a part of you that has always known what your promises are. You will be drawn to work with people. No, I am not telling you what they are. Trust. In fact my dear, you have quite a few.

Is meditation good for this person?

Yes. Meditation is good for all beings. But do not feel that it must be in only one form or another. But beautiful walks in a lovely place can be a meditation. A moment alone standing under a waterfall or a shower, or a lovely tub of water can be a meditation. A moment to daydream, a meditation, positive words for someone else, a physical meditation. Every act can be thus. But what you are referring to is time taken away from the physical world to set in process prayer or positive thoughts. All is good.

Help with mood swings and headaches and tremors

2010-04-05T19:14:00.000-07:00

Gina asks about her mood swings and pain. She says, "What can I do to correct the problems that cause my mood swings, headaches, and head tremor? What is the cause of each? I see doctors but the problem has not been resolved. I cry from the pain I experience. I seek. I ask. I expect as taught. Please help me. Thank you."

The being had severe poisoning. There is an imbalance, a toxic condition. Do not fear, dear one, this can be righted with a pure diet, healing, and rest. Trust in your inner self. You know this, my dear. You know your inner strength. You have been a powerhouse in the past and it shall return. You have been looking to outside places for your help instead of inside. Take the time for some quiet reflection, meditation, talks with your body. Imbalances such as this are a condition when one is overburdened by the many toxins in your physical world. But mostly for you this occurred from a situation that happened when you were approximately thirteen years of age.

No. Do not be afraid. This can be balanced. Seek the information that feels right to you. Nothing bizarre or ridiculous things. Find a truth that you can follow and heal by. The pain in your body is telling you that it needs attention, so take time and listen. You are the best one to know what is happening in your body. So, listen to it. Give it its voice. This is difficult as you have been so involved in the pain, but it is not impossible.

Remember, you are the teacher of your own path and you are the one in control, my dear. You are overwhelmed at this time. Be still. There is not only one thing to address; there are many things. Vitamin C helps to detoxify. Look at many of the natural things to help with this.

You are not alone my dearest. There is a way. You will find it. You know very well that this is part of your growing. A part of you never truly understood the wonder of your body. It is not the whole of this, but part of this is occurring now. Be patient. Love yourself. Give yourself some attention and honour. You are not alone.

Grief over the loss of her husband

2010-04-04T07:43:00.001-07:00

Debbie is hoping for some answers after her husband passed away suddenly last month. She says, "He did have a bad heart and kept telling me for the last few years that I would be better off as he wasn't able to do alot of work around our home. I miss him very much every day and I don't feel him here. I need to know if he's ok. That's the most important question I have right now. I feel so lonely without him and I have all the emotions that go with greiving, but mostly guilt. Thank you."

Dearest one, you are still in deep shock and grief and numbness. That is why you do not feel him close. He is still close. You are not ready yet to sense this, but in time you will. Oh, guilt, what a waste of energy that is! He feels only love and thankfulness o you.

It had to be that way. You were not to have a choice my dear. It was not up to you. You have balanced something that came from many, many lifetimes ago. And a deep part of you knew of that and that is why you are feeling somewhat guilty that you could have stopped that. The balance is complete. The work is done. You have fulfilled great growth for him and for yourself. Give yourself time and love. Slowly, you will love again. Slowly, you will love again. You will love again. There is no time limit.

Realize this is not a time of making choices or judgments. This void you feel you are in, it is because you are half spirit and half physical right now. Clap your hands, listen to music and sing a song. Remember, you are in the physical world and you are not complete yet. There are promises yet to fulfill. There is much love for you my child, much love.

Do we choose when we are born

2010-03-31T08:36:00.000-07:00

RMW writes, "I was wondering about astrology and what we can learn from it. Do we choose our birthchart and our date of birth, for example? Why would a person choose to be born a Leo or Scorpio or born with venus in Pisces or venus in Aries?

I have always been into astrology and I can certainly see some evidence in my life. If you have any words on this subject, it would be very much appreciated."

Many things in the physical domain are controlled by it. That is why you are present within it. It creates an element of growth. It creates opportunities to be presented to you. In a way, I suppose you could say you choose when you will be born, but not the exact time. Those conditions are all due to the physical elements at hand. You do not choose the sex that you are going to be. And you cannot choose usually when the birth will take place. but you do choose the parents. When that great conception occurs, other then the spiritual one that happens much before the physical, well, that puts in play all of the other things to occur because of it.

So yes, the time in which you physically connect and are alive in a physical world is truly conception in the physical. But the birth also, because then the elements and you are one. Of course, it has an effect. And all beings must seek to find their truth, their way to try to understand their universe. Many things you will put in play because this is what you believe. Many things are truth about these studies, as ancient as they might be. No one thing rules your path though, except you. Remember that. Nothing controls you except you and your choices.

Tears enough to fill a swimming pool

2010-03-29T18:11:00.000-07:00

Robbie asks about jealousy and envy. He says, "I used to be very jealous when I was younger but I grown a little and and I know that if you love someone you grant them freedom to do whatever they want. I am absolutely ok with that, but why are there certain people who can really trigger these deep feelings in me? It eats away at me sometimes. It's over the smallest things that don't seem to have any meaning! And I dont even have a partner. There is this one person who I love dearly and even an image of her or words she once said can bring up enough pain to leave me stuck for days! How do we know each other? And are we helping each other to grow in this experience? Is there any other way for me to release and clear this pain or energy? Or is crying the best remedy? I could fill an olympic swimming pool with tears. It is so great that you can offer your guidance. Thank you."

Dearest one, if you were given a choice of never having experienced that loss, would you have chosen it? You need to see it from the other side. You have grown and you are an amazing being an you have not closed your heart to another love. In fact, many are attracted to you but you do not see it at this time. You’ve never had difficulty attracting another being. But right now, you want them not. You are finding somewhat pleasure in that that was. And you are feeling a bit that there is too much work involved with loving. Oh, my blessed one, you would choose to do it again. For you are a being of great light. It might be difficult to understand that you chose this, even the painful part. It was something of a balance. Does it hold you back from the growth you have yet to do? No. It enriched you and in time you will see that. Unfortunately, right now you are busy swimming in that pool. But you will bounce out one day and there will be a being with a warm, fluffy towel there to love you. Be at peace my dear. You do well.

Balancing sexual desires

2010-03-28T08:56:00.000-07:00

Bobo writes, "Do you have any advice on balancing sexual desires? I feel like mine are out of control!

I havn't been with anyone for a few years but I know I dont need to. Is this natural or have I repressed it without being aware of it? I am aware that we all have to deal with these energies, but it seems to have taken over my life and it drains my energy. It feels like i am powerless in this situation and like something takes over me when I am attracted to the opposite sex! I practice some taoist techniques and they do help but right now it feels like theres no way out. I feel like i have some negative attachments that are impossible to move away from. If you have any advice I would be very thankful."

The joys of sexual desire. The joys of a physical body in all of its wonder in all of its beauty. When they are out of balance it does mean there is a difficulty at hand. It could be something you are avoiding and worrying about. In truth, it could be a job or it could be a relationship. When any part is out of balance you should pay attention to it. It is usually isn’t the very thing that is out of balance that is causing the disturbance. It is usually something else. A state of health mentally or physically, or a state of spirit. If you have a sexual imbalance, it is not sexual. It is usually emotional. A deep hurt, or an unfulfilled element of growth that needs to be attended to or paid attention to. Speak, find a trustful being. If you need to find help, seek it my dearest. There is nothing about the human condition that you should be uncomfortable about talking about. But find someone who will not judge you, that you find trust within and this will help.

Bobo mentions that he has these negative attachments that are impossible to move away from.

Nothing is impossible. You are choosing to stay in that place. You may not understand that, but you actually find comfort within that now. It is deep in the emotional centres. It has nothing to do with the sexual or physical parts of our body. You can move away if you are willing to help yourself.

Question about extending love and being attacked

2010-03-25T16:03:00.001-07:00

Funtastic comented on the post, "In regard to the "Perspective on Events in the USA." She or he writes, "The guides say: And some [the ancient ones i.e. Martin Luther King perhaps as an example] will be hurt again because new souls do not understand about growth. And often when one shines very brightly these new souls will attack instead of listen."

But later in the same post the guides say:

"Love the beings that are in fear—and only love will return to you, my dear. For all beings, if they extend only love that is all that will return to them."

There is a contradiction because those who have loved have been hurt. It is not true that only love will return to you if you only extend love. Even Jesus the Christ himself was murdered because of his great love.

So, I want to believe what you say but it needs to be able to stand up to any examples that might refute it. Otherwise, your credibility is affected. This is not an attack but a desire to discern what is and what is not. Thank you. "

She is looking for truth and she must understand that she can only find her truth through her own path. I cannot speak for the Christ, but I know he felt love. I know he never blamed any of those and forgave them willingly at his moment of leaving. You must love all beings, the fearful, the anxious, the attackers and those that wish not to. It is not only Christ’s teaching you may follow. There are many of the Christ light: Buddha, Confuscious, and others.

These ones of the light are of a vibrational state to be that that they are. To love. even in moments of great.... well, call it growth; what you might see as a tragedy. For in that moment where his life’s blood drained from him, he grew and evolved to the state where he no longer needed a physical body to be present in any dimension. Loving other beings--Is this a test then? No, it is a vibrational state. It does not mean you will not have anger. It does not mean you will not have fear. It means, no matter what, you will each grow in your own process, or path, or whatever you might call it. It means that the very new souls in their exuberance and their careless ways are to be loved, as are the great and gracious, wonderful teachers that will give all to save the growth of another.

It is good to ask these questions, my child. It is good to be confused. It is good to have times when you do not have answers. For in those moments, all at once a deep knowing will move through you. When all that you have been is present and you will know your truth. That is the state of grace. That is loving all, judging not, loving all.

Instructions for finding the right path

2010-03-22T14:50:00.000-07:00

Gail says she's not sure if she's on the right path. She says, "I need instructions!"

You have walked a path that had such guidelines and limitations in many ways, and you know this. For the longest time you wanted to run away from all of those time-clock limitations, doing this, doing that and fulfilling this and fulfilling that. What did you fulfill for yourself? Freedom. And now what? What you have asked for is at hand. Embrace it. There is a great part of you needs to write things down. Begin by telling how you have evolved. It will be good practice for you. Is that instructions enough for you, my dear?

Being lost in the past instead of being in the present moment

2010-03-20T21:57:00.001-07:00

Maurice says, "I can't recognize myself no more. I'm lost in my love life, work etc... What happened to me? I'm always thinking about the past when it was more happy moments?

Why is it that this being thinks only about the past instead of the very moment that they be in? Often, it is because something is unfinished, incomplete.

So, dear one, address each situation and understand that you had choices. You took actions, so own them now and understand as to why you did these actions. And don’t be afraid to be in the moment of pain, or discomfort. Don’t be afraid to not recognize yourself. You have grown, you have evolved, you have changed. It isn't the case that that will be the only happy time. But you will not let yourself be happy right now for you do not feel it is complete. Be in it, feel in it, roll around in the pain of it until you are tired of it. And then stand and shake it off and realize you have grown. And your steps forward will be stronger, your love will be more vibrant and you more radiant. Bless you my child.

Time to let go of a promise with an ex-husband?

2010-03-19T16:40:00.000-07:00

Donna asks if it would be in her best interest to move residences. She says, "Do I need to let go of what my former husband promised? Thank you."

No. There is an element of a promise at hand with you, my child. It is not so much of the physical world, but a spiritual one. I know that part of you wishes to be done with it and a part of you wishes to not be done. There is part of you angry at yourself for not fighting for yourself. You need to be willing to forgive yourself for this. It is not holding up this process.

When a being speaks words that create a bond, it becomes a reality. This cannot be broken. You know very well if you could be still and alone with that being that you would be able to converse and have communion. But so much is clouded, so much is distorted. You know not where you belong in time and space with this one anymore. And, in truth, you are still stuck in that place in time. But it is not yet time to release from it. This might seem a burden to you, but I think you will understand it in time, parts of you does already.

Was this call for real?

2010-03-18T17:17:00.001-07:00

Pam Case writes, "The other evening a call came in from a ‘private’ caller. Usually I do not answer these calls because they are most always selling something. For some reason I decided to answer the phone. The caller asked if I did energy healing. I was leery, but told him yes. He asked if I saw auras, or what type of healing did I do? I asked for more information about him. He then told me that he was living in Tibet and that my phone number had come to him 2 times in meditation. I could tell that it was an international call.

He said that he wasn’t selling anything, that his name was Pradush. He simply wanted to tell me that I am doing very good work for the world. He said that I’ve really transformed much in the past couple of years and that this year was going to be even more transformational for me. I thanked him and we said our goodbyes.

I like to believe that I am doing good work through my astrology and pendulum clearing work and teaching. My question for you is ‘Was this call for real’?

What you must ask yourself my dear, is how does it make you feel? This should be your answer, not that judging talk. Let the moment appear. Whether you believe consciously, subconsciously, spiritually, physically, this message came to you through the wavelengths. Judge it not, but say thank you. You do not have to do anything with it, but know that a being has reached out and you have heard. Worry not the manner in which it came to you, but be still with it.

Listening to pain in the body

2010-03-17T09:21:00.000-07:00

K asks about a pain and hardening in the right leg that is causing discomfort. She says, "What is the cause and how can I heal this problem and prevent it from happening again? It is a simple issue or significant? I am very active and love to run. Will it aggravate this issue if I continue to be so active? Thanks and love."

Pain is a message that a body is trying to convey to the conscious brain and then, in turn, to the spirit. A communion is needed--not so much your leg to your soul, but your whole body needs to stop and be still for a while. Do not push through these things. That is not the way to address pain, you must hear it.

You have already been to several different places and they are giving you their different advice as to what the problem is. And, you are not happy with any of them. And so, you need to ask your body what it is trying to say? Are you perhaps not hearing that it wants to not run? You do not want to hear that. Why do you run so, my dear? Walking is an amazing thing. You can run at any time but be sure that walking is achieved without pain. Love your body my child. The deep pain within this leg does speak to you. Listen to it. You are hearing the answers even if you don’t want to.

Fear of speaking at work

2010-03-15T15:02:00.003-07:00

Elizabeth asks about her fear of speaking in public. She says, "I''m working on letting my fear go, breathing like you said, and it's working. But I'm scared of speaking and it's affecting my job. I just freeze. Why do I have such fear of speaking? How can I get over this?

Yes, dear one. Your fear lies within your vibration. It actually comes from previous existence. The words that you spoke in a past existence caused great destruction for you. And so it is not surprising that you might, at certain times feel that a key has opened up this past existence. You probably know, my dear that you’ve been having some thoughts that don’t even belong on this path. They are from that lifetime.

And so, how to heal it. The way to do this in the present is by healing the feelings. By asking yourself, why does my heart race so when I am about to use my vocal chords? Speak to your heart, breathe deep, calm your thoughts. Actually, I think would really wonderful for you to use laughter at a time like this, for the very act of laughter gives the nerves a little extra energy to relax. Talk about your fear of speaking. This can be a wonderful tool because you are not alone. Many beings feel that they are so judged, or watched when their words come forth. In truth, beings are more worried about their own words and not yours so much, my dear. So, to address this, stand and practice. Practice all the time. And give your words sound in the quiet of your own time and love them. You have a lovely voice. Your truth is good, my child. Do not fear it. And know that what you fear is in the past and it shall never happen again. Be in peace dear.

Changes to human consciousness and 2012

2010-03-14T08:56:00.000-07:00

MAK writes, "I'm an avid follower of Eckhart Tolle and, like him, feel that human consciousness is shifting at a rapid pace and will force humans to evolve in necessary ways. There is also much speculation surrounding the end of 2012 regarding humans and the Planet Earth. Do you foresee any significant changes after 2012 and will they be beneficial for both the planet and humans."

Yes, to all of your questions, my dear. There is much ahead. 2012 is a number created by mankind to give structure and control through these things. The amazing physical dimension was created for your growth. It would not do for your growth, for it to disappear. There will always be upheavals and changes and movements, for that is the constant element needed to create growth. Be not afraid, but embrace it with great excitement. Know that all beings are growing and changing, a new age, a new thinking, a new dawn. But you are present in it at this very moment. Do not fear what is ahead. It is now.

Eckhart Tolle is a wonderful teacher, a blessed being of light. He has come to teach that all things are possible.

Is he one of the ancient ones?

Yes. But you are even going to see brand new radiant beings evolve and become ancient. And, at first, very few will follow, or listen. They will wonder how such a new being could have such wisdom? But, it can be. So, doubt not, but hear all and trust that you will know your own truth.

Feeling life has no purpose

2010-03-12T08:30:00.001-08:00

Anonymous writes, "I would like to ask for guidance. I have been feeling so sad, depressed, and apathetic lately. I feel that my life has no meaning or purpose, and I feel like I am wasting my life (and I understand that it is a precious gift to be here). I have no creative outlet for myself, and I think it would be healthy. I want to feel passionate and excited for life, but instead I feel hopeless and useless. I feel like I don't even know myself well enough to know what I would like to do creatively or what I would feel passionate about. I know that you can't just tell me what to do, but could you suggest any steps I could take to find my passions and purpose?

Also, I find myself fearful and obsessively worrying that I am not putting myself in a position to have children at some point in my life. Do I have a "promise" to have children with anybody? Am I leaving the door open for this?

I know I have asked a lot, and I am extremely grateful for any guidance you might offer. Thank you for this opportunity to ask for help, and much love and gratitude to Jane, Joanna, and all the guides who work with them."

Oh, my blessed one. You say you are feeling you do not have a purpose and yet you give such love to others through that beautiful light that you be. Every being you touch, you lift. I know perhaps you might think you are somewhat invisible, and thus without purpose. Old beings, or ancient beings such as yourself, often feel that way. And then they remember that yes, they have a physical lifetime to have the physical pleasures, to grow.

In many lifetimes you’ve had many children and it is natural for you to wonder where they are now. There is a reason this has not occurred yet. Do not blame yourself for this. Do not think that the choices you have made have held up the works in some way, dear. Everything is about growing and moving forward. And you are doing beautifully.

And, remember, those time times when you are feeling the least forward movement, are often when you are actually moving faster then you have any idea. And know that your beings of light that surround you are holding you dearest, when you feel so alone. Take a moment, breathe deep and remember that you are as important as every part of this physical dimension. Your place and space you take up within it has great purpose. As you look about you, you will see it. I thank you for caring for others. Now, look into the mirror and care for yourself. And if you choose another mirror, see your reflection in the eyes of those that love you and you will know you have great purpose. Remember, when you feel you don't know your purpose, just take the next step and it shall be revealed to you, probably after you have completed most of it.

Blessed one, fear not. You are in the right place at the right time. Do not fight against time. Know that it is a blessing. I love you my dear.

Becoming ready for a new love

2010-03-10T20:26:00.000-08:00

PM writes, “I know that he came into my life for a reason and that I have moved on but I would like to remain a friend. Is he not able to continue a friendship with me? I feel somewhat at a loss because we have something very special. I, at times feel that it was me that turned him away? I am confused about this one.”

No, my dear one, you did not choose to have this unhappiness in your life. But you chose to grow and to learn and my blessed one dear, you must confess you have grown. You are wise. But you are the most amazing being because you desire to trust again. You talk about friendship but truly you want that love, that deep abiding trust with another being. And that will be, as you slowly open and make a place for this new one. And you will arrive there when you judge not, but openly accept another being close to you. To trust that loving is worth any of the pain it might cause in its growth. You will do well, my child. You are love.

Fear of gaining weight

2010-03-09T07:34:00.000-08:00

MP went on a diet last year and lost a lot of weight. She says, "It's been a year, and I have gained a third of it back. I'm struggling with keeping the weight off. I'm exercising, and eating healthier overall, which is positive. What do I need to do to free myself of this struggle in order to live a healthier life, at a healthier weight, and feel good about my body."

Dearest one, your focus is on the fear of gaining weight. So you are unconsciously telling yourself you must gain weight for this state of being to continue. Release this fear. Surrender to the fact that you are a beautiful being. Embrace that that you are and you will stop focusing on that that you eat, or do--and just simply revel in the joy of being. You are truly an amazing being and you have achieved much success, but it does not need to be this great weight upon you. Dance, laugh, find joy. Eat that that is nourishment for your being. Read that that is nourishing your brain. Listen to that that lifts your soul and you will find a balance, dear one. You have many beings that speak that what you resist, persists. You are conveying something to the universe that you truly don’t want. You want to find balance and joy and not have to worry. For worry is not your choice. Dance my child. You are the end of the rainbow.

Feeling like lashing out at a family member

2010-03-07T18:38:00.001-08:00

Jan Jan feels she is being pushed back on a path she thought was blocked. She says, "I allowed things to just Be the last few weeks of 2009 and although there were some pretty tough moments we got through it. But I seem to be constantly at loggerheads with a close family member, its a very volatile situation and I feel like just giving up on this person. I am trying very hard to just let it BE, I bless the situation and the person but sometimes it all comes crashing down and all I want to do is just lash out in anger (verbally not physically). I value any insight you may have.

Dear heart, dear heart, there is great grieving within you and you are not as radiant as you could be. Lashing out is not what you want to do, and you know that it is wrong for you. Take time now to love yourself, to see yourself strong and whole. You know within yourself that you are a good, a wondrous being. If there is something that antagonizes you, be still, and examine it. Often times the thing that is the most irritating is something you need to learn from and something that has part of you within it.

Be patient within yourself, little one. Some parts are not willing to move forward, or to take a step forward in growth. Have humour and love. Be patient. You know your truth, blessed one. Lashing out only makes you feel bad. It is as if drinking the poison to hurt someone else; it will not help you my dear. Be still, love yourself. And in time you will forgive, you will love. Most importantly, you will be willing.

Choices about what has previously been set in motion

2010-03-04T17:42:00.000-08:00

PF asks how it is the guides can tell us things like, for example, there is a new person or job coming when it is we who make choices to get to that place and different choices will bring different results.

She says, "Sometimes I feel like I am experiencing a life that has already been lived. I know it is difficult for us to understand "time" and how it is possible that everything is happening at once. Some say all our lives are happening at the same time. If this is so, then how do we have new and old souls. Sorry, lots of questions. I don't expect to be able to completely verbally understand it but some words from you, I'm sure, would help. Thank you.

Creation never stops. Of course there are some brand new beings; not to say they haven’t been in other dimensions at other times. There is truth in this. I am sure some of you have met people that you thought were from another planet. These are some of the new ones.

Understanding of new and ancient has nothing to do with age. It is a vibrational state of being. It is a continuum. When these beings re-unite with the Mother energy, or God, it begins again in a different domain, a different dimension, never ending. But being and growing and teaching and learning are all one.

You are the one that sets the promise to meet again with another being to complete something that you have yet to learn. Perhaps you shared a path with in a past life with this being. Perhaps from many lifetimes ago. Or perhaps none. But know that you will find a being, whomever they might be. A guide might tell you they are coming for you have set a promise (a task of learning). You have opened a valve so to speak. And so this energy will flow in that direction to you. It is your choice as to when and how. You will never change that they will come, just the conditions that surround it.

Children and parents and homework

2010-03-01T17:12:00.003-08:00

AJ Adams writes, "I am looking for advice on how to convince my daughter that doing her homework is something that has to be done. She is very intelligent, "gifted and talented" as they label her. She is in middle school now, and we've struggled with this for several years. The work she turns in to her teachers is always near flawless, but sometimes she just doesn't want to do her homework. Zeros will kill a good grade in a big hurry. We've taken away privileges, but this doesn't seem to bother her. She doesn't need "stuff." I'm not a fan of spanking nor would it work on someone with her reasoning capacity. She is the neatest person, beautiful soul. She is such an easy child in every way. I just can't seem to make her understand "I'd rather not," isn't going to work. Advice?"

Dearest one, you are asking an ancient, ancient being about homework. No. You are a parent who helped to bring in this most beautiful light. Be with this being, rejoice in the shared moments. Don’t put this labour upon it. Tell her that she must do it and it is her responsibility. But that you and she will share time each evening that has nothing to do with that. The joy of being together, this is what she is demanding from you. To not be burdened by the worry of expectations. You are right, she is very intelligent. She will do her homework. She will blossom and shine in the radiance if you give her time that is not restricted to any one thing, except simply the joy of being together. Sing, dance and laugh. Enjoy my dearest. Enjoy the love you have.

What is truth?

2010-02-28T08:57:00.000-08:00

Funtastic asks about what is truth. He says, “Hi Jane and Joanna. Thank you for this blog.

My question is: Is the information Hidden_Hand is providing at Above Top Secret true, in general? Is the God of the Holy Bible NOT the one prime infinite source from which all else is derived? Is what he speaks of regarding ruling families not being human beings but just looking like human beings correct?

To quote him/it, Your Creator, the one you have called 'Yahweh', is not "God" inasmuch as your bible refers to him as being "the One True God". He is 'a' Creator (or Sub-Sub-Logos) rather than the One Infinite Creator. He is not even a Galactic level Logos, but rather, is the Planetary Logos for this one planet. Our Creator, is the one you refer to as 'Lucifer', "The Light Bearer" and "Bright and Morning Star". Our Creator is not "The Devil" as he has been spuriously portrayed in your bible. Lucifer is what you would call a "Group Soul" or "Social Memory Complex", which has evolved to the level of the Sixth Density, which in effect, means that he (or more accurately "'we") has evolved to a level sufficient that he (we) has attained a status equal or arguably 'greater' than that of Yahweh (we have evolved higher than him). In appearance, were you to gaze upon Lucifer's fullest expression of our Being, the appearance would be that of a Sun or a "Bright Star". Or, when stepping down into a 3rd Density vibration, we would appear as what you may term an 'Angel' or 'Light Being'. " Is this true what he/it says?

Namaste. We and you, be. We are all one in a great mix of an energy, a Mother, or for lack of words, a God. You are of this and you reflect it. You grow and you learn in an individual time in order to return to be part of the greater, thus to be spun out again like the most brilliant star. It is a closed circuit, but in fact it is one amongst many, as you are one amongst many; each level, each dimension being nourished by that from the other. There are so many levels that the truth lies within all. Seek the height, the dimension that nourishes you, gives you peace. You do not need to know all of it, all of the time. You can simply be and not seek all of it and have quite a good lifetime.

This dear one is very, very concerned about what truth is. And truth is a very individual thing, centred within the being’s conscious and subconscious vibrational code. It has to do with a frequency levels causes within a being. If you try to assume a truth that does not meet a criteria within you, it will cause you chaos.

Yes, you have all at times seen what happens one has to memorize something that does not fit. And you cannot do it. Whether it be of a scripture, or something a scribe spoke of. If it is not fitting for you, then it cannot and will not do. So truth is as individual as each of you are and should be.
Know that there is no one blanket that fits all. All things help to build it and create it. So do not sit in judgement that this is ridiculous and that is not. If it has purpose for some, then it has a purpose. This child, wants to be nourished by all manner of things and then be able to remember it. It is not possible. For your conscious mind will only contain those elements that feel right. Keep asking and know there that is great love for you.

Feeling lost and joyless

2010-02-27T08:31:00.003-08:00

Gail says, "I am lost...can you help get me pointed in the right direction? No joy, no ambition.

Let the dust settle, dear. You haven’t given yourself enough time. Great changes have taken place. Structure has diminished, freedom has opened up and yet it feels like a burden to you. You feel that you must fill it with something.

Now you are needing time to walk, to smell, stretch and see. You have moved forward farther than you believe. It often is a great voice when one soul needs to find its place of growth. You have grown a great deal and it is just putting it all in place now that you feel this itchiness to do something, and yet you don’t want to do anything. Always in the matter of life before you step into the next rung, there is a sense of wondering if it will be there? Trust, my dear. You are not lost, just getting comfortable with the new you. Life never stays the same for any length of time. Rejoice in that and celebrate. Everything can be new and exciting in an instant.

State of the planet and other dimensions

2010-02-26T06:54:00.000-08:00

"Anonymous" commented on something said about evolved beings moving on to the dimensions where they need to be for their ongoing learning. This raised a question about whether these beings actually leave earth, and if so, where they go.

"Anonymous" asks, "Will all evolved beings leave? Will they go to a different planet? Will they keep the same human form once they leave? I searched the net for more info on this but little luck. Can you point me to some good sources where I can know more about this in detail? Thank you."

There are many sources. There are many forms of information. We can learn and seek them all. But only those that ring of truth to you, within your being, should you keep. You live in a time when there are masters of information of every kind. But remember that they each seek their own truth. It doesn’t necessarily mean it is yours.

Overturn of souls is a time when there is an imbalance. It is what you see right now. It is a time in your physical world where there are a great many very evolved beings of high vibration. And a great many, who are new beings, of a less intense vibration. They are not better or less, but things are just a little imbalanced right now.

On your earth it is a time of great chaos, where the very new will pick up arms and fight and battle instead of speaking, or teaching, or waiting. The very evolved ones, who have been here many lifetimes, will be the ones to wait and see. These are not always the best teachers as they often prefer to allow the space for each being to grow. But when you have a great number of new souls thrashing it out, great chaos can ensue.

And so, what is needed now are the "middle aged" souls--the teachers, the good politicians, the people who will stand in the middle between the warring factions. That is what we refer to as the overturn of souls. It is a mixed up, back and forth, teeter totter time of chaos and wonder. These are, as the saying goes, the best of times and the worst of times. And this is your time now.

As to other dimensions, it is true. There are many dimensions of a reality that you are only beginning to glimpse. In your lifetime, you will know of some of these; you will see more and new science will be created. A science that will fill the gap for what is called a para-science and it will have a reality. For you will have created ways to understand and see other dimensions, black holes, worms, all sorts of things that have been spoken about for eons. They will become truth. Keep seeking my dear, keep seeking it and your truth will be made known to you. As to whether you are in a different form for a different planet, of course you are. Different planets require different needs for a being to adapt to the physical domain. Do not worry about that now.

Feeling abandoned by his spirit guides

2010-02-25T13:07:00.000-08:00

Maurice would like to know why he has never felt or heard his spirit guides. He asks, "Have they left me? My life has been very hard all those years and maybe that's why! thanks."

No, dear soul, you have not been left. In fact, you are very amazing and you have done beautifully and your choices have been right. And the growth has been amazing. Dearest one, I hope you realize that life is not necessarily easy just because you feel you know your beings that surround you. Life (or your time dwelling in the physical body in the physical domain) is a learning time and you must admit that you have learned a great deal.

You are very wise. You needn’t be sad about it for you have grown and you are richer and more radiant now than you have ever been. There are many old sayings about times like this, when beings in the physical world feel abandoned, and in reality they have never been more assisted and helped. It is true when you do your work, it must be your work. You are not alone my child and you have never have been. Perhaps if you sit in quiet solitiude and thank yourself for the growth you have received and done, through your choosing, you will hear them. You will hear them rejoice for the love you have found for yourself.

Interpreting a symbol from spirit guides

2010-02-24T18:29:00.000-08:00

Lindsay ask about the meaning of a symbol from her spirit guide. She says, "I recently asked for a sign, any sign to let me know he was there or to guide me on my path somehow. I wondered if I would even know how to recognize the sign, but within I received the most unmistakable sign, and it came in a very profound way! The sign came in the form of a universal symbol for breast cancer. Can you please tell me why my spirit guide chose to give me this symbol as a sign. What does it have to do with me and my path? Was it a warning? I would love to understand a little bit more about what this means for me. I was also wondering if you could please tell me my spirit guide's name. Thank you so much. Blessings to you all."

Entities that guide are often reluctant to give names. Tell her to persevere and perhaps in time. There are thirteen of them, and perhaps one might give a name. As to the symbol she receives, she drew this to herself for fear. It is not a symbol that she needs to worry about, but can in fact, embrace. Know there is a certain condition in this symbol that everyone will be conscious and give love instead of fear (which is often attracted by this). She is going to change many things in the world and that won’t be all of it. When people create symbols, they are trying to create change. This is what I want her to know. She is a new thinker. And she must be told by those entities for her to believe it. She should work on the communication with her entities, her guides. Between her and them, they will find a way that is most convenient, or comfortable, or fulfilling for her.

She has never been one to follow another’s routines, or ritual. Seek it my child, it will come.

I am not very clear if that was a symbol that she created. or was it a gift from the guide?

Both. Part of her fears that. And when you fear. you draw it to you. For you are telling all that surround you that you need to deal with this, that you need to grow and so it was provided for her. The fear that it created helped her to grow. That, that she pursued was good. The confusion, growth. Do not be afraid of pain, but understand that if you fear something you will draw it to you. For fear is a sign in the body of something that needs to be changed and altered--for growth.

Concern about a grandson's travels

2010-02-23T14:54:00.001-08:00

Anonymous asks about her grandson named Blaine. He is 20 years old and very adventurous and just left to go to South America,starting in Mexico. He will come back to finish his studies. He will travel most of the time by himself. He is a very deep thinker and mature for his age but I am concerned for his safety.

And is that not the natural state of being a grandparent? It is parenting with the big picture. Of course, because you have walked a path and know that there are things that can befall a being. But do not dull his shiny being. Know that this one needs to seek out his truth. Always be there, never judging, but always listening. And surround him in a cushion of light and love that you have for him and trust that his wisdom will see him through. He is a good being, trust in this.

Soul connections and promises

2010-02-22T14:33:00.000-08:00

Someone calling himself "I Have Made Mixtakes" asks about a relationship and a past life connection. He says, " I ended a relationship in July because she had addiction issues, that she refused to see as a problem. While we were going out I had a feeling of a past life connection with this woman. On many levels I do believe that we were soul mates.

I am now having a great deal of trouble letting go. She is constantly in my dreams and even though I try to block thoughts about her they still come on a daily basis. It has been five monthes and I still in love with her. Was she my soul mate?"

You have words in your world now that have nothing to do with spiritual growth and one of these is "soulmate." Know that there are many beings that you can love, my child. Many. And once you have a bond with someone, it does not just dissolve because you choose to walk away from them. It stays and it even grows. And it helps you to grow.

Do not be surprised that you still think of this one. You would be a lesser being if you didn’t. Ask yourself if you truly want that one back again? The truth is, you were complete. You could call every being a soul mate if you were to exchange love with them, if you were to share the intimacy. But there are many souls that come into your life for just a small time to help create growth within you and then resolve. And the promise can be achieved in a fraction of a second. Or it can take a long time, depending on the work that is needed to be done. So instead of pining, or feeling sad, ask yourself what did you learn from your time with this one? And what are you learning now about yourself?

Dear one, see your growth as a tangible, wonderful thing that you can put in your pocket and carry with you. For the next time you come across it, you will pull it out and say yes, I know this. It is good that you still think of this one as you are a gentle and loving being. Be thankful for who you are my dear. Love yourself.

Now is the time for love

2010-02-21T12:01:00.003-08:00

Anonymous says, “I’ve been told that there is a love yet to be in my life; that this agreement was made before my life on this physical planet with this being. How will we find each other and why am I so impatient? I would like this to be now. What do I need to do to make this happen and if I can't do anything but wait for the universe to let it happen, what are we looking at as far a time line? I have gained tremendous growth and quite like myself and my present life but would dearly love to share my love with the right being.

This is truth that there is love for you. But you have limited yourself. You have put expectations on it, the how and when on it, instead of allowing it to be and welcoming it into your life. Stop worrying and start loving. With everyone you meet shower them with the radiance of who you be. Yes, there is definitely a being (in fact, more than one being) that you will love. As for the timeline, you are asking someone who does not know how to deal with time. Time is the limitation. We want you to be limitless. Draw it to be now. Now. Speak to this person that now is the time for love. Whenever in doubt, now is the time of love.

Dealing with one who attacks you verbally

2010-02-20T07:23:00.000-08:00

How does one deal with someone who is jealous, hot tempered, possibly delusional, paranoid to the point of seeing many things as some sort of conspiracy theory and sees "evil" in everything? What do I do with someone who attacks me verbally? Aside from completely avoiding them and sending them love from a distance what can one do?

Love them. When you send love and healing to one, you protect yourself as well. That amazing force moving through you to them, prevents any negativity from coming back. Just continue to love them. Judge them not. Baste them in the love you know so well. Perhaps it will soak in and will heal them. It is their choice.

Advice for a single mom about the father of her children

2010-02-19T18:11:00.003-08:00

"One single mom" asks for advice about the father of her children. She says, "In the same breathe often he will proclaim this great love for his kids and how he misses them immensely and is so very sad he is apart from them - but he will also tell me he is too busy to see them as he has to work hard to provide for them, or that he needs to get away to clear his head because he is so unhappy. I do not appreciate his behavior. His communication skills do not make any sense and give me a headache.

I have hovered over my children to protect them from his nonsense but now I am thinking they need to learn how to deal with his personality. They are strong but I don't want him to hurt them emotionally the way he has me. And I do realize that their relationship with him is different from his and mine. I am tired and overworked because he knows that I will do all the parenting and care giving while he tends to his own desires. Will my children be happy and feel secure and safe if they spend more time with him? And how many lifetimes have I shared with these two gigantic little ones? Many thanks and love."

This one has spent many lifetimes with these children, and not always has she been the mother. As to the father, do not worry dear one. Do not feel responsible for their relationship with him. They will find it and it will grow. together--at the same rate. Your frustration with this being is something that you must just, well, relax about. You cannot be the one for all. You can only be the mother. Know that your children will be secure if you are secure. Yes, and I know she seeks.

Confusion about cancer and how to proceed

2010-02-18T08:22:00.000-08:00

Sandra says, "I was given a diagnosis of breast cancer Sept 07. I have opted to "treat" it alternatively and by seeing this as an incredible opportunity to grow and learn. It isn't always easy but in a dream, I saw it this way and I also saw a doctor doing a procedure on me where my body wasn't mutilated but minuscule samples were removed from my breast and lymph system. Well I found a doctor who does just this! My appointment with him was to be Jan 08. What followed were 2 years of postponements (he had the flu, his mother was in a horrific hurricane accident then died, machines breaking down, etc,) and then on he died of lung cancer.

Although I have never physically met this doctor, I feel like we know each other. I have talked to him in dreamtime and Sunday, not knowing he had died, I told him in a dream that I would do my best to be at his funeral if he thought it beneficial. I do not remember an answer. Is there meaning in all of this? I am feeling so sad and also discombobulated. Please, if there is any guidance to help me learn, or understand. Sometimes I wonder if I truly don't require any surgery. What is it about cancer that someone like him dies and yet I feel fine? Or am I fooling myself? Am I in denial? He had all the best medical care and I am looking at old emotions, old eating habits, developing spiritually. Oh dear, confusion!

This blessed being is feeling very cut off from the world. She has often felt adrift of it. More so because one she seeks has left her again. She is a very old soul and is confused as to why this has been created within her body. She needs to dwell upon her own being and its happiness. She has been so serious and she would even say this is true. She has been finding it hard to laugh and when the laugher came, it was not truth, it was to make others comfortable. So often feeling invisible in amongst others, not feeling part of things.

Blessed one, if you want to stay, make your presence known. Be that, that you are. Be conscious in body. Allow others to see the deep, emotional being that you are that you have hidden so well. Will this heal you? It will be the beginning. And in time you will know exactly what to do. There is not any one method. When you are truly conscious you will know what is right and what will do the trick.

Wanting to help someone who has lost his way

2010-02-17T14:29:00.001-08:00

Jessie asks about someone named Frank. She says, "I was involved in a relationship with this being and it has now come to an end. Although I feel a loss in my soul, I feel I needed to let go. I want to love him but he is not ready to receive love from anyone. I fear he repeats the same mistake over and over again and I want to help him to see his worth and to find his way. Please tell me how the spirits can help him or how I can if possible.

Indeed, it must be the entities that surround him that help. It is not her responsibility to do so. If she is frustrated with this, tell her to send her love, to focus it, to envision him in white light, happy, making the choices he needs to. Dearest Jessie, I know you want him to want you, to need you. But you need to take time now to allow, to strengthen your being, to radiate out that that you are and find the love that will fill your heart.

May I say one more thing to this dear Jessie? When a bond is made with one in the physical world, or in spirit, and one chooses to not be in their physical presence any longer, it does not mean the bond diminishes. In truth, it is still there. It changes and grows. This is one of the most common things in the physical domain, to create growth. It is not surprising that she still loves him and wants him to do well. Part of her wants him back and part of her does not. But she cannot be responsible for him and the choices he must make. In other words, she cannot grow for him.

Moving to the light--words for one whose partner passed away

2010-02-16T08:56:00.000-08:00

Kay says, "Thank you for your reading. I was overwhelmed when I wrote and asked was he angry.

He passed away in May 2009, and I was not coping, and could not feel him near, and life was so very hard, I just wanted some comfort from him, and felt nothing. I feared that he was not only done with this earth, but done with me too.

He laughed at my beliefs, in a good humoured way, and joked that there was no such thing as the hereafter. I am scared he was right, as I still do not feel him around. I long for him.

He waited so long for a transplant, and fought so hard, and in the end he was not himself because of the medications in the ICU. I know that, but his distrust shattered me then and still does now. I just need to know that he understands what happened, and that I had no control, neither did the kids. It was taken out of our hands, until the very end, when they let us just be, him and us to his journeys end.

Dearest one, you have asked many questions here. You want to know that he is well, that he found his way. You want to know what you believe is true. You want to know that everything was done that could have possibly been done. Know that these questions are part of a great growth. It is still at hand. Nothing is over quickly in your physical world, except growth. It is the accepting and understanding of growth that takes all of the leg work.

This movement to the light was miraculous. He dances joy and he tried to convey it to you but you were so tied up in questions and unanswered things that you did not feel it. But in time he will help you understand that he truly understands what you are saying now and that it is not that different. Dear one, dear one, you have done well. Be at peace.

Does that mean you will stop growing? No. It means that your communion, your bond with that one, continues, but in a different way. There is a time when a being passes in your physical domain and transforms back to spirit. It is a time of learning and growing and understanding all that affects one’s life on themselves and upon others. Sometimes a being is quite unhappy with what they have done and wants to quickly move forward. Sometimes they are in awe of all that has occurred. And sometimes they are so joyous we cannot make them still. But know there is not physical pain. There is not a struggle in the same way, there is great clarity. You have a desire to have the most of information. Be patient blessed one. Be patient, it will come.

Help with a technology idea

2010-02-15T13:27:00.001-08:00

Idea girls asks about a technology idea she has. She says, "The idea itself is a gift I am so grateful for. It's an idea in progress but I can't do it alone. Would you please guide me in the direction for success or possibly direct me on how to hear my guides better so that they can help me figure out what to do. I don't know who to ask for help and I don't want to give up. There is a man who can help but he seems to want to stop me from succeeding. Why would he do such a thing when my intention is to help him financially and my whole family and make all of our lives more stable and create a service to help my community?"

Idea girl often feels she burdens others and in some ways is mentally creating all sorts of hurdles for herself instead of just trusting that there will be a way in which to put all of this together. She is often very afraid to speak her deepest need and has learned this because many times in her path she has been made fun of, or belittled.

Tell her to focus and she will know the way to do it. That there are others that can help her with this. She does not feel comfort with this one as he does not circulate with others to communicate. She feels there must always be a giving in order to receive.

Tell her that there is love for her. Drink it in Idea Girl by breathing and by focusing on it. In truth, you know that you are a good being.

Difficulty with a family member

2010-02-14T12:52:00.000-08:00

JanJan writes that she seems to be constantly at loggerheads with a close family member. She says, "it's a very volatile situation and I feel like just giving up on this person. I am trying very hard to just let it BE, I bless the situation and the person but sometimes it all comes crashing down and all I want to do is just lash out in anger (verbally not physically). I value the messages and the insight that is given here as they have always helped me in the past."

Dear heart, dear heart, there is great grieving within you that you are not as radiant as you are. Lashing out is not what you want to do, so know that is why it is wrong for you. Take time now to love yourself, to see yourself strong and whole. You know within yourself that you are a good, wonderous being. If there is something that antagonizes you, be still, examine. Often times when something is the most irritating it is because there is something you need to learn within it and you are in some part. And be patient within yourself little one. Some parts are not willing to move forward, or to take a step of growth. Have humour and love. Be patient. You know your truth blessed one. Lashing out only makes you feel bad. It is as if drinking the poison to hurt someone else, will not help you my dear. Be still, love yourself. And in time you will forgive, you will love. Most importantly, you will be willing.

Haiti and the earthquake--growth for many

2010-02-13T14:27:00.000-08:00

Anonymous asks if you could share some guidance to help explain why this earthquake in Haiti happened. Is there any higher purpose to this tragedy, or is this type of physical release of the Earth, a random event? So much loss and suffering for people that have struggled even before this earthquake. Thank you for any insight you can share.

What has happened as you know is this shift in the planet. The planet is made up of hardened crust that is cracked in areas and these plates shift and move and truly, it doesn't happen all that often. But, as your great Mother planet moves, sometimes it causes great destruction to that that has been built upon it. And thus a new beginning, a start over, much sadness, and much growth. It is difficult to see it as a good thing, but understand that they grow. That they celebrate, that they move forward. Everyone who takes part in the ending of this light and love grows as well.

All things on your planet are opportunities for growth. It is a hard thing to understand that you must learn these things. But it is truth. Opportunities for growth. There are in these places, new souls that have come and have evolved very quickly and this is a miracle. It is hard to understand but in such suffering, miracles are happening. They will speak of it in time. And for those who feel their lives are of little purpose, they are given an opportunity in to help, they in turn give in love of themselves and thus to others. Thus, a great gift. This is a time of gifts, a time of love, a time of great growth. For those that chose to leave the physical plane at this time, they are still very much there, part of the whole. Celebrate in the light.

Searching for a true purpose

2010-02-12T10:17:00.005-08:00

Jessie writes, "I am a 38 year old woman who is searching to find her true purpose. I am unsure of myself in my career and love life and feel I need to know what direction to take. Do you have any advice on how to find true contentment in either or both. Are there signs I need to look out for? I also struggle a lot with PMS and need guidance getting through it.

Dearest Jessie, first for your health, your PMS has to do with hormones, but it also has to do with diet, and rest and enough sleep. You need to make sure you get very simple foods. No fast food, or fried food, nothing too complex. Your diet should be simple. And you need to have a simple life in many ways, in many ways.

Truly, my dear, there are many things you could do and be and fulfill many paths. But you are going to be more than just one thing, so beware of that and embrace it. Mostly important on your path, it will be much more about relationships than it is one career path. It is the bonds you make with each individual that will feed you and nourish you the greatest. I know you wonder about this, as you have the ability to love so many at different times. Old souls do this, it is a good thing.

You are about to make a choice and you don't know if it is very right for you. Remember that you change and grow and you've never really made a bad decision. Trust yourself my dear.

Animal souls and factory farming

2010-02-11T08:29:00.000-08:00

Andrea asks about animal souls. She says, "I am very conscious of the cruelty that is inflicted on animals during factory farming. I would like to know if the animal soul chooses this experience. It is selfish in a way, as I would like to know if they are exercising their free will. I recently watched a film (Food Inc) which also showed factory produced animals and how they are "processed". I could see the pain in the animals' eyes and it really upset me. I know I can choose to not support this industry myself but not buying the products but how can we get this to stop? Surely these noble creatures deserve more respect. "

Yes, my dear. There is a purpose. The fact that you saw this film and grew--that was their purpose. Do you understand this? Some creatures come upon the physical world so evolved that their very purpose is to only to create growth for others. Whether that be to support their physical being or their spiritual being. In that alone, they have succeeded. They are the individual. Did they choose that path? Yes. Do they deserve better? Yes. Have they done right? Yes.

They do experience pain. And, it is wrong to treat the creatures that you consume without respect and dignity. You must treat all beings with respect. There should be honour for every manner of thing in your physical world. For these creatures were created for your growth, amazing as that might seem. But not to squander, not to inflict pain, not to hurt, or condemn in any way. So, you honour them; they honour you.

You, my dear, are a tiny teardrop that has ripples in the great ocean and can affect many. This is what has happened to you, my dear. And so now that you understand, you can choose to find ways to find a source of food that has been produced in the greatest of joy. That the creatures shall feel the sun and the earth beneath their feet. That they should not be penned with so many that they choose to fight amongst themselves. For they so love humanity and deserve grace and love in return.

Joanna's comment. We've heard this from the guides previously that these animals give us the gift of food and it is our responsibility to honour and value their gift. This means looking into the source of the meat, poultry, eggs and milk we purchase and choosing to buy from small farms that treat the animals humanely. There are some sources of food produced in joy but it takes some looking to find them.

Wondering how the brain works with spirit

2010-02-10T08:04:00.001-08:00

Liindenn M.P. wonders how the brain works. She asks, “Why is it that scientists and neurologists can create spiritual sensations, and why is it that they seem to be so sure that all this proves that spirits are illusions that just brain products? I'm on the right path, but these guys seem to flatten my belief system to ashes, saying that love, laughter etc are all just chemicals in our brain. I guess they are to an extent, but until someone explains it, I don't feel as if I can reach my potential. I'm poetic, and nature loving and I hope that once I stop nitpicking, I will be able to reach my full potential and love more. Love and blessings.”

Dearest one, you are trying so hard to grasp and understand everything and never make a mistake. In this you are similar to these scientists-- as they never want to make a mistake. Yet, mistakes can be a great place to start learning.

Trust that the grey matter, mostly made up of water and fat in the physical brain, has abilities to tap into that that is seen and that that is not, that that is already created and that is the process in which you will go and find what you need. They have many ways of probing the brain. It can, by great ability, bring up taste, smell, thoughts and feelings. But, in truth my dear, what they seek to find is God--even though they are pushing at a brain to find it. They feel it is a neuron, or a perhaps it is a chemical, a chemical bath that bathes the brain. They seek that that cannot be explained by poking the body but by seeing it, and by honouring it, by seeing the whole of its magic. And each being that uses this energy that makes up the body is a separate being from that body.

As you dwell in this amazing bath of warm fluid, that has an amazing way to reproduce itself, to hold you, you are as separate from it as your fingerprints are from the others. But you have connected with it because you have created it. And in that body you will learn and grow in all of the wondrous ways you have chosen to. To bring science and spirituality, or God and scientists together will always be one of those connections that will have difficulty in your world. As soon as you hold on to it, you lose it. Be not afraid to believe, to trust in your belief until you choose to change and grow and move forward into a new belief. It should never stay stagnant. You are a magnificent being and you will find an amazing path to express yourself in.

Coping with people who want to make others unhappy

2010-02-09T15:07:00.000-08:00

PF says, "There is a saying "misery loves company" and while is isn't always true it seems like often it is. Why do unhappy people seem to enjoy or want to make others unhappy? It makes no sense."

They don’t feel so bad about themselves if they think everybody else is miserable. It is a sign usually of a being who is not as evolved as they should be. But, I am not judging; it is not a place to judge.

Often they are just trying to find a way to feel better about themselves. And then, many beings take the cue that they must perhaps talk down their state of being so they don’t make the other one uncomfortable. It is a series of circles within circles of downward movement, actually. The best thing to do when you are with someone who wants you to be as miserable as they are is simply to say, "I am fine. I believe this certain thing happened to help me and yes it was painful, but I choose to be happy. I choose to see it as learning and growing."

It is quite amazing to see each element, positive or negative this way. To see that you can choose to be happy.

Advice about financial independence

2010-02-08T07:49:00.001-08:00

Mary says she is needing financial independence and is not sure what route to follow. She asks, "Would it be a good choice to go into business with my ex-partner? I had been thinking to not go to University but perhaps I am wrong here. Any help/direction would be very much appreciated. Thank you."

There is a reason that beings are called ex. It usually should be a symbol of “do not go there.” It isn’t that you couldn’t work with this one, but there are too many incomplete difficulties and you have grown past this. It would cause a great deal of stress for you. You need to get going with the business. You need to stop thinking about it. You need to put it together and do it. You have great creative ability to do all of it and the money will follow. You could certainly get other investors. You know if you ask it from the ex you will just be owing this one all the more. And that never did fit well by you. Do you not understand, dearest one, what you are battling against? It is control. And yet you are limiting yourself. You are controlling your being too much by worrying about each step. Open up. Talk to those that will listen about this and they will direct you. Trust, my dearest. You have all of the ability.

Lessons learned and yet to be learned

2010-02-07T12:03:00.000-08:00

SLC writes, "I was just wondering also what lessons WR has learned from being in this situation with me, (again, only if it's not invading his privacy).

Lesson partly learned – not complete. Very little learned yet. A great deal of growth needed to take place and it has not occurred yet.

When life is unravelling

2010-02-06T17:03:00.001-08:00

I don’t know what is happening but I feel like I am unravelling. My horse is very lame AGAIN, my car has broken down AGAIN, my relationship is really bad AGAIN. All of these things I dealt with less than a few months ago and they are coming back together. I want to believe that things get better but it is very hard right now. I don’t know how much of this I can take this time. Please give me some encouraging words. I most desperately need some. Thank you.

You feel you have not integrated your two lives. There is one side and the other. And it is because of this back and forth that you are having difficulty. It is not why your beautiful creature became unstable again or why your car is--it is because the energy is teaching you something, dear. So, take a moment. See the whole picture. See what this situation is telling you and teaching you. I know you are confused because you haven’t learned it yet. So don’t think that is the answer. Be still. Breathe deeply. Are you going too fast? Are you pushing yourself in a direction that is not yours? Ask yourself these questions dearest. And you are truly doing very well. Do not lose your wonderful ability to laugh and see the light.

Message from a cat

2010-02-06T16:53:00.000-08:00

Ruth Anne says her dear cat Misa suddenly passed away recently. She writes, "My husband found her downstairs; we had been watching the movie "It's a Wonderful Life". We have received so much love and joy from this wonderful cat, whom we call our daughter. We have given her so much love back and we have cherished every minute of her presence. Now, in our grief all we can think about how much we will miss her. I know she'll still be with us in spirit but we'll miss the chance to talk to her, stroke her unbelievably soft coat and just cuddle her. If she has any messages for us, we will really appreciate to hear them. Many thanks, blessed be."

Yes, she is fine, she is fine. And it wasn’t an act of cruelty, it was an act of great love. I know that might sometime seem so difficult at times, but all is well.

Ruth Anne is asking for a message from her cat. Can animals communicate after they leave?

Of course. They use their form of communication, why wouldn’t they? All creatures have this ability. The message is “yes, do so.”

Big changes ahead

2010-02-03T18:24:00.000-08:00

"G" asks about some big changes coming up in his/her life. "My work contract is coming to an end and I don't have any work or income secured for after March 2010. Part of me trusts that something will come along, but I also want to make sure that I am doing all that I can to be open to opportunities. I'm not sure if my next move will be in a new organization, in a new town, back to school, overseas... it's one big question mark. Do you have any words to guide me through the next few months? I know to trust because the perfect thing will present itself, but is there something specific I should focus my energies on? Or is there something I can do to decide what to focus on? Thank you."

Such a creative being. In the past you have always created that that you needed. And so it shall be again. So, allow your thoughts to roam and tumble and create and dream and it will all fall into place. It won’t stay that way forever. It will change back and forth, up and down. You have come to this life to experience something very clear, oh, besides the promises. Those acts of learning that you must learn.

You were of great royalty in a lifetime where things landed at your feet, good and bad. But there is still an sense about you that there will always be someone there with a hand to help you. And that is true. I won’t tell you what it is you have come to experience, but I think you will be quite amused.

Leaving a marriage, was it a mistake?

2010-02-02T18:22:00.000-08:00

Nancy Chanti says "Last year I left my marriage because I felt it was the right thing to do. My marriage was very hard I felt neglected and lost my self-esteem. I loved my husband very much but I could not understand why I was so sad in it. My ex-husband and I were seeing each other all year to see if we could see some change. Then I went away for 5 weeks and when I was away my ex-husband emailed me to tell me he found someone else and does not want to go on with me anymore. I am so sad about this decision. Now I want my marriage back and it is too late. I want to know if it was a mistake to leave him last year?"

No. No dearest, it is not a mistake. You were tired of playing the game. And truly he is still playing games. Now you are wondering if it is the truth or some fictitious state in which you live in. So, take a deep breath and understand your idea that all statements, or vows, or decisions must be written in blood, or chipped in stone and so it must be forever. Is it true? No dear. You grow, you stretch, you breathe, you move, your vibration heightens. Your DNA becomes clearer and your vibrational code is very clear right now. You are teetering a little bit. You are a little confused, but you made the right choice. Now, dust yourself off. You are off the playing field now and you are about to embark on your own path again. It is good. Take your time.

Fear of negative spirits

2010-02-01T13:56:00.000-08:00

Stuart Allan from Scotland asks about negative spirits. He says, "I'm having problems with negative spirits in my life. How do i overcome these? I've been taught to dance in a special manner but I can't do it myself as these entities take over my thought process. Is this dangerous? If I continue will it help to remove these spirits as my vibration increases?"

First my dear, know that there are no negative spirits. Once in a while you will encounter a being that is not of the level of guide, or angel, or whatever you wish to call those of us. And there are some beings that become trapped in their process and they are drawn to your light. There is nothing to fear from them. They cannot control you, although they might make you a little uncomfortable. But it is only because they are lost and need your help. Dearest one, nothing in spirit can ever harm you. It is only through fear in the physical world that harm might come.

So, your movements are very good, they are very freeing. But this is not going to be the only language which you will have. Be open to the changes that are at hand with you, blessed one. You are truly an amazing spirit and you channel only that of the highest. Do not fear it. There is nothing in spirit that can harm you. If you encounter one of these entities that is confused and lost, communicate with it. Tell them to go to the light, that there are beings around them that can help them. There is no need to fear.

Advice for becoming a channel

2010-01-30T07:40:00.001-08:00

I have been curious lately about developing my abilities and am interested in becoming a channel. As this is what you do, I am curious of any advice you would have for me. I understand we all have these abilities and am interested to know if this is beneficial for me to pursue.

Dearest Andrea, you are already a channel and you can tune yourself to any station you wish. What you are afraid of is having the confidence to speak it out loud to other people. Your conversations within your being are amazing with those entities around you and others that come close to you.

But, of course, your heart is going to thrash wildly as you are about to speak about it. It is not from your mind, it is from what you might want to call the outer limits. But it is out of your realm the information comes. So of course you will be unsure at first. Take your time and place and space and do all according what is comfortable for you. Do not charge forward or you will feel weak and easily flatten. Go slowly and quietly, but be very clear, you are already a channel, my dear.

Anger or fear of being overwhelmed

2010-01-28T19:36:00.000-08:00

Kay writes, "I need to know did I do anything wrong. Is he angry with me?"

No dear, it is not anger. It is fear. Things became too close for comfort. Do not worry, take a deep breath. Take some time to enjoy your heart, your life, trust. All beings need to have a certain amount of space, or energy around them, so they can hear their own thoughts and feel their own feelings. Sometimes, when a being is very overwhelmed with something that space can get very, very tight. Allow this one space. Make no attempts to force any issue at this time. No anger, dearest. Bless you my child.

Structure and website design

2010-01-27T13:59:00.001-08:00

Sylvia is working with a webdesigner on a website to promote her gifts and be of service to the universe. She would like to know if the spirit world and universe agree with the site and its content.

Structure my dearest is something your world often has difficulty with. Structure can be limiting. For as soon as you set a limit, it is broken. So whatever you do, make it be flowing, and free and open. Let it always be changing, growing and moving forward. As an example: never force something that worked last week to be the same this week. Be open to all of new growth, blessed one, and you will be fine.

Reasons for deja vu

2010-01-25T11:47:00.000-08:00

Ginger asks about deja vu. She says, "I've recently experienced one that felt foreboding. I think that feeling was my own fear and not some sort of warning, but it left me wondering if I had previously dreamed that moment or if it was somehow another chance for me to understand my own feelings more accurately. It reminded me of an experience I had years ago that I feel enabled me to change my coarse of action and avoid a potential negative situation. Thank you."

There are many, many explanations for déjà vu from tripping of the brain, to a magnetic freeze, to a past life experience, to experiences of very evolved soul. And very evolved beings, or souls, or entities have this quite often. They are often quite outside themselves, seeing it and going, "Oh that's right," and then catching up to the body. Be patient my dear. Foreboding for what? Having information, good or bad, ahead of time is being, well... prepared. Be thankful that you have an early information system. Know that you are a very evolved being and everything that is given to you, you can deal with.

Beginning to communicate with your spirit guides

2010-01-24T15:04:00.000-08:00

Leanne says she has been working on connecting to her spirit guides this past year and isn't receiving andy feedback. She asks, "Do you have any suggestions for me that would help connect me to my guides."

Dearest Leanne, what a beauty you are. You want this communication and so you must try to find a form. But perhaps you have been trying to make them communicate through only one way and they wish it to be a different way for you. Why not begin a series of tests. Ask for some confirmation of things in different forms. Ask them to show you in different ways that they are there with you. You might start with something as simple as a a visit form a bee or a bird, or to hear a song, or a word. And if these come repeatedly to you, then that can be a form of information, whether it be through a creature, a word, or a song. And then as you trust in it, and grow in your comfort level with it, it will get better and better and soon you will not have to limit it to one form for them to tell you they are with you. For you will understand that they are always with you, eager to help you. It is important that you be the one asking the questions. They will not do the work for you, my dear. It is not as if making wishes. It is as if forming a communication, a union, with a great love that wishes only to help your growth.

Waiting for a man to make a choice

2010-01-22T08:41:00.000-08:00

Sandy asks about a man she has become involved with. She says, He has been in a relationship for some time that isn't good, but he is hesitant to leave because he doesn't want to hurt the child they have together. I don't know why I feel such a strong connection to him when I know we cannot be together. We are both torn. Is there any hope for us, or should I just move on before things go any further?

It is true, he does love you and you him. Dearest one, do you want someone who cannot make a choice? Is it not better to be clear and healthy and happy then to have a quiet life of discord? Dearest one, choose for yourself what you need and move forward. This state of waiting is not healthy for you. There is great hope when one makes a choice as it frees the other to do so as well. Bless you my child.

Joanna's note: Sandy, sorry for the delay in responding to your question. We had asked this question of the guides but somehow the answer got separated from the question. This is the response from the guides in a session from late November.

Soul connections

2010-01-22T07:30:00.001-08:00

LB says, "I know "soulmate" is just a term we use to describe soul connections in the physical world and I know that we can have a variety of different soul connections in a lifetime. Each one is special in its own way. However, is it possible to have a soul bond with another person that is stronger than all others? Is there a strongest "soulmate", so to speak? Why do we have a stronger connection to some than others?"

Because you know them. Because they are familiar and old beings, that stay a while, old friends, you know them. Perhaps you have never seen them in the physical world before, but you know them. You know their energy as much as you know your own. And it is true, there is no one soul mate, but there is a soul knowing. A deep, deep river that runs through very common known people that are common to each other. Do you understand what I mean, known to each other. And they are many, so you could meet many of them. So you could not have one greater then the other. You feel it much stronger then others because you are quite old my dear, you have lived many, many lifetimes. The old and familiar is there, like those old, worn, comfy slippers. Your world wants to categorize everything. If you only knew how it does not allow you to grow.

Wanting to be closer to her spirit guide

2010-01-21T07:30:00.000-08:00

Alida wonders why she cannot get close to her spirit guide. She says, "My spirit guide, One Feather, is at times very easy to walk up to and speak to in my dreams. But at other times I see him from a distance such as across a stream and I can not get any closer. I can still hear him just as clearly but why the distance? He is wonderfully strong and when I am close to him I awaken with a lot of energy and I want him close all the time. Is there a reason for the distance? And is it possible to get too much energy from a spirit guide?

The distance my blessed one is because it is time for you to do your work. They will stand and be so patient waiting, like the most loving parent. Hoping that you will make the right choice and ready to scoop you up if you don’t. There is nothing that you need to fear about that feeling of quiet and peace. It is their energy holding the space for you as you grow. It is love my dear, just soak it up and trust that you will make the right choices.

Feeling uncertain about a path to spirit and social situations

2010-01-19T20:51:00.001-08:00

Madeleine says she feels as if she is at a crossroads with many paths open but she is unsure of which one to take. She says, "This is causing me unbearable anxiety that makes it incredibly hard to take action at all! On one hand, I want to pursue my dream of becoming an artist and a writer. But I wonder if, on the other hand, it might not be best for me to become a nun and devote myself to a life of service and enlightenment. I feel as though the latter path will take me down the path truest to Spirit, but my heart lies more with art and writing. What should I do?

Also she asks for advice on how to be less nervous in social situations. She says, "I have a lot of trouble communicating my thoughts and feelings effectively because I am afraid of rejection. I also have a lot of trouble connecting with others and establishing relationships and feel as though something is wrong or "off" about me. It's as if I have the desire to be social, but I can't bring myself to really throw myself into any sort of relationships. In the end, I think people find me a little boring because I just don't seem that into socializing with them. Could you please give me some tips as to what I could do to gain the confidence to make friends?"

Dearest Madeline, oh dearest one, you think far too much and dissect all of your thoughts. Take a deep breath, dearest, and realize that being spiritual is an artist, is a writer. Of course, being a nun and someone who restricts their life to a certain way, you can always be spiritual in all of these things. The true bliss and wonder of a life’s path is as spiritual as it gets, my dear.

To see, and feel, and honour all manner of thing on your path which is what you are wanting to do, then do it dear, no matter what you say you are doing at the moment. Don’t limit yourself to one thing at a time. It is always amusing to me when someone decides to do something and then they feel very bad about themselves when they change their mind. You are a creation of the universe and changing your mind is just a reflection of the universe. Be happy, dearest. Choose to be happy. Let your bliss be that amazing ability wherever it needs to shine. And as far as meeting friends, it is because you have always limited yourself and you are outside yourself, judging how you should be.

Dissolve that away and be that brilliant light with all who come near. You will have no difficulty finding friends. For you will have found that your best friend is your own being.

A difficult move for her mother

2010-01-18T18:21:00.000-08:00

Jennifer asks about her mother who is moving from an apartment into a care facility. Jennifer says, "She is very confused and distrustful due to her dementia. This will be very hard for myself and my sisters. They tend to be "bossy types" where I tend to be the opposite. I would like mom to be involved in the process of the move, but she is very difficult to engage in this kind of conversation. I know these difficult situations are there for great opportunities for learning, growth and love. I will keep this intention open and move forward with kindness.

Dearest one, communication, even if it is bossy is good. You must all come together to talk of this. You must all realize that your paths are very important. That you must do what you need to do and that your mother be cared for in a way that is comforting to each of you.

Many of you have dreams that are yours, not your mother’s. Speak openly that you all can commune with this decision and understand its purpose is to help all beings grow. They are not bossy, they are fearful. They fear their own loss of ability to care for themselves. You see it as a joy in some way dear, not that it is not even near time for you to even consider such a thing. Bless you my child, for you have always been a peacemaker, you have always wanted to help others.

Parenting advice

2010-01-17T07:25:00.001-08:00

Kristine asked for some parenting advice, particularly in regards to disciplining children.

Disciplining children is all about respect. If you have respect for your child, your child will have respect for you. If you take the time to see and to listen to them, they will see and listen to you. Give yourself a moment eyes to eyes, love them from heart to heart. Look into the child’s face, ask the questions and insist upon the moment to be shared between the two of you.

Children are ancient beings sometimes. They need to be respected and honoured for who they are. If this doesn't occur they will be very frustrated and will act out in many ways. If they are shy and unable to move forward, again, eyes to eyes, heart to heart. Hold their blessed beings close to you. Even they children that are angry, they need gentle love.

There was a belief in your physical world that it was through violence that you had control over a child. No being learns from violence. Nothing is learned in violence except hurt, fear and anger. Is that what you want for your child? No. You, my blessed mother, sometimes talk too much. You need to be still, you need to hear, you need to ask the questions.Exclude the world of the acceptance or non-acceptance. Just you and your child, be still, be one with them. You will have no difficulty if you honour them, they will honour you.

A relationship with a girlfriend that has come undone

2010-01-15T20:51:00.000-08:00

Mary says, "My girlfriend and I have lost contact. I cannot make heads or tails of the reason-why? I miss her. Have I done something wrong?"

Something wrong is the wrong word. The relationship came out of balance and so you need to step back and ask: have I not heard you? have I hurt you? have I perhaps been asking too much of myself? It is best to be honest and say: I have the feeling you have withdrawn from me and that is okay if that is what you need.

It is important for Mary to seek an answer and to accept what she hears. Be brave dear. You can do this.

Frustsrated in trying to help her mother

2010-01-14T13:35:00.000-08:00

Elizabeth asks if it's possible for her to help her mom without being frustrated. Elizabeth writes, "She cries for her family so I wished she would just go back to them and stay. I'd miss her, but would be less painful. I'm tired of her complaints. She has trouble relating to me, and I feel more disconnected each time. I try to reach her but she seems in another world. I know she loves me, but she relates to me like I'm a stranger.

What you are feeling is your truth and that is alright and acceptable and you should not be feeling guilty or angry that you are unable to reach your mother or help her.

Do continue being open and loving but also make it very clear that you are not understanding her and that she is not communicating even though the opportunity is there. The mother is being very blinded by all that is present for her. She is not helping herself or her family at this time. She is being very self absorbed, but not in a healing way.

There are many ways that this occurs and hers at this time is very unbalanced. Be not be angry Elizabeth, but be patient and understand that this mother is taking this time right now and you must do the same. Take time to heal you.

Do not accept the guilt. It is a very destructive energy. Its purpose has long passed being needed in the physical world. There was a time, but no longer. It is as ancient as some of the physical attributes that are no longer necessary in your world. Does it mean an end of these needs? In some ways, some things are meant to no longer serve a purpose and must be let go.

I do not mean that you let go of your mother. Hold within you the remembrance of the good and keep that alive for yourself. This that you are seeing now, be patient with it. Perhaps, perhaps she will come back. It is up to her, not you. Your compassion, your love, it is yours. Hers right now is on hold and is being held by you, by an energy that is not part of you. Love yourself my dearest and move forward.

Moving forward with the gifts you have

2010-01-13T18:49:00.000-08:00

Louise has recently realized that she has some gifts. She says, “In fact I was frightened for a while to acknowledge these. I am trying to find my way forward, and as a result I stopped nursing as I feel it is very negative for me. Am I following the right path? Should I be working on my own work or my husbands? Or is this good for us both ? Also, can you tell me if the people who came to me for help got where they needed to go.

Firstly, this dearest one needs to rest. Rest also from a very strong sense of obligation and responsibility to others. This is what has truly drained her with her healing, her nursing, as it were. It began to be destructive to her because she gave so much and truly exhausted her being.
But she will usually do this with many beings in her life and she must be aware of this. Never was she not a good nurse; she is a very good healer, has great ability, but gets caught up with too much responsibilities. And not just with these patients but with others as well... the chitter chatter. She wants peace and calm and quiet.

Dear one, do not absorb yourself completely in your mate’s work. Help, yes; but also you must seek out that that which is yours. Seek out that that you find peace within, dearest one. You must take time for you.

The people who came to her for help, was she able to assist them?

Yes. Dear one, in time you will not even ask those questions. You will give freely and openly and know that this is what you were meant to do. And in the network of life you will see one day, when time is clear, how you affected all. But right now, do not concern yourself with these things. Trust.

Also, understand that sometimes in giving great chaos occurs. You have empowered beings to take on their work; don’t be afraid of the result. Do that that is driven with yourself or by the energy around you. It is often believed that the human condition expects the human condition to occur. Expect all things to be growing and moving forward and you will not be disappointed.

Sadness over a diagnosis and impending surgery

2010-01-12T14:39:00.000-08:00

Sue says she has been very sad lately as she has just been diagnosed with osteo arthritis and needs to have hip surgery. She says, "I haveworked since I was 15 and now I am off work and I feel guilty every minute that I am not contributing to my family's money. I feel very lost and alone in this part of my journey.

It is not about money, dearest child--it is about self love. These things that are presented to you on your path are to bring you to the awareness of caring and loving for you. Oh, you are first in line to help all the others, not only family, and not only to do with money. You feel you don’t know your place if you are not providing, or giving to another. But it is your wondrous being that you must give to. I can’t tell you to do it. Of course, it is for your growth for you to choose for yourself. To understand the true love of being. Loving yourself, thus, being able to continue loving all others, forever. But you must take care of your being.

For it is only through truly honouring your own being and giving it the time to heal, to strengthen, and receive nourishment, love, that you will teach this to others, to your family. For that is what you want them to know, to be. You do not want them to think they must follow a path of completely exhausting and empyting themselves. No, you did not give them all that love and energy for them to do that. But in truth, blessed one, this is what you teach.

Put yourself on your list. Make you important. Teach them that they you must take care of themselves. Love yourself truly for your own self. Not out of anger, or anguish, or pity, or I may as well do it or I am not good for anything. Love yourself out of the beautiful love you have for others, like that love, like the amazing being you are.

As to your osteoporosis, it is not so bad. Lots of beings have this. It can simply strengthen itself should you choose to pick up and put down a few things, tins from your cupboard, or well, something simple. It does not have to be complex. You have time, blessed one, to heal all parts of you, even this hip. You will feel somewhat different if you allow yourself some time before you make choices about anything. I love you my dear, be patient.

Note: The guide used the term osteoporosis in the response, rather than osteo arthritis. It may be that the guide misunderstood the term. I am not sure if the response would be the same for osteo arthritis. However, allowing time in a situation like this is not a bad idea. You could ask again if you would like additional information.

Looking for help with a dream project

2010-01-10T13:34:00.001-08:00

Kora asks about her dream project. She says, "I am so sure this is going to be a success but I need at least another team member but I just don't know where to find this person. Am I not supposed to have another member? Would you help in any way to guide me in the right direction, or to the right people to help make it happen? Many many thanks."

You must alwlays be careful of those that want to shine so brightly that your truth and idea gets somewhat tossed to one side. And so you are right to be somewhat protective....but also to seek out another being. In truth there are five other beings that will assist you in your project as you call it. It is your passion and your truth and you shall fulfill it my dear. Stand tall in it. Be clear on what you need. Clarity, isn't that a funny word to use? For that is what you are going to help to give to other people. Trust my dear. Follow your path. You will find the right being.
