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changing my outlook, facing my fears (which at the time were absolutely terrifying), and letting go of so many old and outdated beliefs.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.

Working for Spirit – Continued

Many people entering the metaphysical realm or path seem to think that everything is going to be roses and only good things will happen to them. It could not be further from the truth. As things begin to unfold – such as health issues and the repayment of karma – many people walk away, not able to believe that Spirit would allow this to happen, unaware that this has to happen because one cannot be blemished from the past going into the future. Another belief is the fact that we see ourselves as good people in this incarnation. Why are we going through this? Why are we suffering? Why is Spirit allowing this to happen? What have I done to deserve this?

Of course, it is all past-life related or from prior experiences in this life, but our Self cannot see this. It is hurting big time and it does not like what is happening. At the same time, it knows that every time we let go of something from the past, it no longer has any power because the Self lives in the past all of the time, hanging on to the pain and suffering. It enjoys playing the victim and the martyr. It gets so much attention from doing so. Early on in life it realizes how much sympathy one can get from being sick and playing the victim/martyr.

All of those years as I was releasing all the issues from my past, my Self fought my letting go by bringing in fear, doubt, insecurity – all of which were not only a part of my life lessons in this lifetime to free myself from, but they also held me back metaphysically. I cannot tell you how many times it told me to get out of metaphysics and go back to the life I knew before (which to the Self was the comfort zone).

Why? – Continued

After my first marriage finally ended, and husband number two came on the scene, I went to New Zealand. I had nothing left as my ex-husband had taken all of our money out of the bank and left me only $5 to pay $8,000 worth of overdue accounts. He also had a garage sale of all of our possessions while I was away working with my then-business partner (who I later married). However, New Zealand beckoned and, as I left – again showing faith albeit again with much fear – I changed my whole life financially and was able to spread the word of Spirit for many years. I never once thought about myself financially. I was working for Spirit, for Maitreya, and his work took precedence. Again, I showed faith and trust, and Spirit rewarded me. I learned obedience to Spirit, to do it now – to have discipline and not leave it until later. The more I learned, it seemed the more I was rewarded. The less of my Self I thought of, the more Spirit gave back to me.

I just “knew” that what I needed would be there for Maitreya’s work, and this has been my belief since those early days. I had to surrender myself for the rewards, but the rewards have been well worth it. I was also learning to let go of a lot of fear, doubt, insecurity, lack of self-worth, and other such feelings, and I was gradually able to leave them behind. When I was given a huge sum of money in 2000, I never wavered. I bought a house for Maitreya’s first Center. I then needed bigger premises and bought property number two. I finally sold that and moved into a larger Center with retail space. I could have kept the money for myself and gone on a world cruise or something, but I chose to open a Center and do teaching there, something I was very successful with. I was given the finances for every step I made, but I knew it would come. I had no fear. I had fear over everything else, but not about money.

Now II

Question: – Hi. I recently read one of your latest newsletters entitled “Depression” (#292). This message was very helpful to me. Thank you. In the article you basically instructed us, if I understood correctly, to allow ourselves to feel in order to cleanse away past hurts, pains, etc. However, there is currently a lot of discussion on “living in the present moment.” I used to feel sad, cry, and then feel better later. Now, I try to stay in the present moment by pushing away a sad or painful memory that induces depression. Perhaps I do not understand the concept of living in the present moment, so would you please comment on how we can feel our pains etc., and still live in the present moment if it is possible? Thank you.

Answer: By living in the now, one does not worry about the future or live in the past. When one lives in the now, one gives the body permission to release a lot of suppressed emotion. This is often known as depression. When it comes to the surface, one should let it go. If one is not trying to avoid it – which one would do if one were in the now – then it would come to the surface to be cleansed away. When one is not living in the now, then one is concerned over so many things past and future. If one is in the now, then all one concerns oneself with is the now. One can plan for the future, but then let the future happen instead of making it happen. It is not easy to explain; it is far better demonstrated.

Most souls have depression and do not know they have it. Only by being still and living in the now – with no concerns for anything but that moment of time – can one allow all that is buried deep within to come to the surface. As one does this, layer upon layer can be released because there is nothing stopping it. The soul is simply living in the moment. It has total faith that all its needs will be provided. It has no fear, doubt, or insecurity. It is one with the Divine. Free of worry and concern, it can release all that is buried within, often from many previous incarnations. As one cleanses away the deeply buried emotions and feelings, then one becomes more intuitive and sensitive to the world of Spirit and its energy.
