Different Subjects – Final Words

It was 1993 when I was embraced by God, or as I came to know it, the Ultimate Being. I was not expecting it and, when it happened, it changed my life for the better. Over a period of approximately a year, I left my body at night (and sometimes during the day) and moved toward this Being of Light that I saw in the distance. I could not move very fast toward it, as I knew that I had to take it slowly or else the experience would affect my physical body. I was not afraid, but neither did it take away the lessons I was destined to learn with Maitreya whom I had just connected with in 1992. I finally got close to the energy, and it was then that it embraced me totally and I felt such love. I have never felt so much love from anything in my life. It told me that, once I had learned my lessons, it and I would work together. I did not realize at the time that I had a mammoth task in front of me in changing my outlook, facing my fears (which at the time were absolutely terrifying), and letting go of so many old and outdated beliefs. That was 18 years ago.

As I write this in 2011, I know that the time has come to do what I came to do, to work in helping humanity shift its consciousness. I could not have done it even last year. I was not ready. I am totally at peace within myself now; all the fear, doubt, insecurity and old beliefs are gone. I follow what I am told by this energy, and it has never let me down in the 18 years as it led and guided me through Maitreya, my teacher. As I do my work and see the effect my readings have on people, I know that I am working with this energy. It is so beautiful to be able to do what I do, and I am in awe of even my own work. That energy is non-judgmental and true compassion, it knows our soul better than we do and, if we want to, it can help us to become all we can be and more. I am very blessed.

Talismans

It amuses us in our world in the fact that many of you carry talismans with you in your daily life. Although through history there has been a strong belief in these items, they really do not provide any protection or bring one luck. However, if one believes they do so, then it shall become. For centuries of earth time humanity has carried or worn crosses, talismans, amulets, and other kinds of protection for all sorts of things, including to bring one luck. These items are created by fear of others or from conditioning from parents, family, friends, or even the church. You are the creator of your own reality, and you can have protection and the ability to manifest if you just believe it will happen. For some this will take a long time because their deep, subconscious beliefs have not yet been cleared away. Thus, even if they believe and affirm, it may take time to happen. Others will find it happening very quickly because they have cleared away their fears and subconscious negative beliefs. Whether it is made of wood, metal, or other materials, a talisman will make no difference. Only you can be the creator of your own luck or protection.

So much money is spent on talismans when, in fact, just saying what you want to happen and having belief will start the creative process. Do you wear a talisman, amulet, or other item to protect you or enable you to have luck? If your answer is “Yes,” then take it off and watch how the fear manifests within you once that item is no more. You do not need to protect yourself. You are always protected unless you believe differently. There is no evil to be frightened of, only what you believe and create. Let go of your fear and your doubt in yourself and open the door to a new beginning in your life where just your affirmation will be the magnet for all that you need.

One Man’s Truth – Continued

It is so hard trying not to influence anyone and allow people to make their own decisions. Alan and I are very alike – born two days apart, both Libras. Our lives mirror for each other in all we have done with our lives despite Alan being 9 years younger than me. I would say that 80% of our lives are lived believing in the same things, but there is a 20% part of us which is very different in what we believe in and the way we deal with it. Thankfully, most of the time we are OK with that, but sometimes we do not agree and beg to disagree! I have learned from Maitreya and from being with Alan that, the more I try to change him to my belief, the harder he fights.

Oh, if only parents could see that this is a very important factor in raising children – especially teenagers. I must say here though that, when my children were teenagers, I did not interfere with their belief system in anything. My son became a Christian despite my being metaphysical. I never interfered with his doing this, and despite the fact that he tried to influence me to go back to the church, I never influenced or criticized him in any way to give up his beliefs. Eventually he, like most people, moved on to another truth – away from Christianity – but he did it on his own without influence from me or anyone else for that matter.

Parents are the worst people for interfering. As an astrologer, I know that each person is here to work out their own life path. Nobody can be the same – even twins, triplets, quads, etc. Although they have the same chart (often an identical one), they are so different from each other, both of them being different personalities and with different ways of learning their life lessons.

Learning to Let Go

I was always possessive – with people, possessions, even beliefs – you name it, I could not let go. Then I began working with my teacher, Maitreya, and began the process of letting go of so many things in my life. The first thing I had to let go of was my belief system. By the time he came into my life I had moved away from and let go of some of my old programming, but there was still a lot to go, although I did not know it at the time. I had been exposed to almost half a lifetime of beliefs, thoughts, and ideas which were not my own but other peoples’. Letting go of them was not easy! Looking back today, I cannot believe how much I held on to, but it was an incredible amount.

As I let go and realized that I no longer needed to be like that, I opened up to new amounts of energy, this time devoid of the old patterns and conditioning of the past. I also became more intuitive. It did not happen overnight, but rather slowly – sometimes slipping back to the old ways – but also being pulled back into the new energy by my teacher. I realize now that it was fear. Fear made me hold onto everything, and I held on with white knuckles. Often I could not let go despite being pulled away by Maitreya. Eventually I did let go and, as I did, I began to see not only that I did not need what I had been holding on to, but also what it had been doing to me. It had been tying me up in knots, stopping me from moving forward in so many areas of my life. I did not realize this until then. I had let go of my Christian faith long before Maitreya came into my life. I have mentioned the decision to do so in previous blogs.

Religion

It saddens us, the Masters, to see what has happened in the name of religion on the earth plane today. The word of God was brought to the earth plane to help humankind and yet it has become the purpose of war and dissension.

Why can you not understand that each of you is an individual with your own belief system? You were created different from each other. No two people are the same; even twins are different. Because of this fact, you cannot all have the exactly same belief system. If you did you would be like sheep or cattle. Instead you are a unique individual. When you can understand that you are different from the person next to you and that it is all right to be different from that person, only then will you find peace.

You cannot impose your ideas on another either by war or by force. It is normal to be different. Each one of you can have a different belief system than another and yet still live in harmony and peace. There is only one God, and yet that energy does not care how you worship it. It just asks you to understand the spiritual part of you and to work with that part of you to enable you to have a better life.

What does dissension in a belief system do anyway? All it does is to kill, maim, injure and create hatred. That is not what God, or the Divine Being as some of you call him, is about. The Divine Being, or God, is about Love – pure love, unconditional love – for all humanity, man and woman, Hindu and Buddhist, Christian and Muslim, each with their own belief system, yet working side by side for a better world.

When you learn to tolerate each other and respect another’s belief system without conditions, then you are on your way to making a better world and creating peace on earth.
