2011

The time is coming when, once again, we welcome a new year. It does not seem a minute since we were celebrating the millennium of 2000, and now we are heading into 2011. From the 1980’s to the year 2000, many people began the journey toward metaphysical understanding. During that period, the Mind Body Spirit and Whole Life Expo shows were active around the world. People began to find out about a whole new way of life. Unfortunately the advertising at the time was, “Try this and it will make you immediately better.” So many people believed that and, when it did not work, they lost interest altogether in what they had tried and in what was then known as the “new age” movement. I do wonder whether anyone understood that spiritual development is a life-long journey, a lot of hard work, and not to be taken lightly!

We were just consumed with the new energy, the philosophical teaching, and also the personalities who brought the messages – Wayne Dyer, Marianne Williamson, Deepak Choprah – people with beautiful energy who spoke to the spiritual part of us. I started my own path in 1985, first studying with some amazing teachers and then professionally as I moved into my career. When I look back, I wonder how I survived – how I have not fallen by the wayside – because the road at times has been so hard. How hard has it been? Well, I have a Cancer midheaven in my astrological chart that makes change very difficult for me. I think most of us do not like change because it brings out fear in the Self – fear of change – fear of what is ahead and how will we cope with what is going to happen. Recently one of our regular website viewers who is in a very professional career wrote that she has chosen to give up her career and leave her job. I cannot imagine the fear she will face as she does so and moves on.

Advice and Guidance – Final Words

After I have done any channeling sessions, clearing work, taught courses, or even a day of doing four readings or more, I need to rest either the day after or a few days afterward. It wears me out and, the older I get, the less energy I have to do it with. I am lucky in that I do seem to recover very quickly from working with the energy, and usually after a few days off I am fine. On our return from Curacao recently where we did a lot of work, I was three days just getting to the point where I felt “normal” – and that was not without physical aches and pains. Through all of this, I have Spirit, who is there to help me. On my return from Curacao, I began using the magnesium and am pleased to say that there is an improvement in the area of the problem. Albeit very small, it can be seen.

Please, if you feel you need to write me about my health or any issues you feel I need to be notified about, please do not write me. Some of the things I may need to learn from, while for others I have those in the world of Spirit who not only help me with these issues, but also reiterate them through others. My spirit doctor keeps a very close eye on me also. The work I do is exhausting at times, and yes, I do suffer from stress and exhaustion at times. It is part of my work. Yes, like everyone else, it gets me down at times, but I signed up for this experience and my astrological chart backs this up. I do love what I do, but some people find it hard seeing me when I am at my lowest point and perhaps down and worn out with the pain of the knee or the toll the energy has taken on me. My reward for this is seeing those I have helped walk away on a higher vibration. As Maitreya says; “Once they were blind and could not see, now they do see because you enabled them to do that.” For that, my life has been worth living!

Changing Patterns – Continued

We are, in fact, here to change patterns and to move on from the past. It can be seen in the astrological chart as a retrograde. A retrograde is what shows up in a natal or birth chart as a lesson or event which we have not yet learned, and so we have come back for another round of learning. Once the lesson is learned it no longer shows as a retrograde. I have one retrograde planet – Uranus in the 9th house – which shows that in a prior life I came to change the face of religion. Although I did create a new religion in a way, I did not do it the right way. Hopefully (with the help of Maitreya in this life), I have been able to assist people to see a new way of looking at God and at each other.

In the past life I created an organization that was too structured and very much in ego. I needed the help of a Master to be able to do it the right way in this life and so I chose a teacher, Maitreya, to assist me to do it. I know it has been done right in this incarnation, so hopefully I have done what I came here to do and am doing it well.

My first husband’s natal chart had every planet retrograde – lifetime after lifetime of not learning the lessons he chose to learn. I have never asked Maitreya what happens if, after a situation like this, one still does not learn the lessons. Are there retrogrades on retrogrades? I will have to ask him the next time I meditate; I am sure his answer will be interesting. My first husband was given the assistance of a spiritual energy to assist him with his retrogrades. In fact he cried when he sat in the presence of this energy, but it was still not enough to conquer the Self part of him and allow him to change his patterns of the past.

Talents

What are your talents, where do they lie. Margaret talks about the change in her life that led her to find her passion and who you can find yours.

 

Marriage – Final Chapter

When two people come together, it should be their choice whether they marry or not. We do not insist on this for you. It is your choice. For many years the Church forced it. Any child born out of marriage was labeled a bastard and was made to feel different. God does not see any child as different; they are all his children.

If you choose to marry, ask of yourself, “Do I need all of the ceremony?” Often, you will find that you do not. If you do choose the ceremony, make it a spiritual one.

Often, two people come together to finish karma and, later on in life, there is no longer any spark left in the relationship. It is also in order to leave a relationship if you are unhappy. If the karma is not finished in the lessons to be learned, the Universe will bring another partner to learn from again. We have no insistence on anything. You, humanity, choose what you need and what you do. Your astrological chart will indicate if you are to have more than one partner or if the possibility is there should you not complete the karma with one partner. It is your choice.
