The Path – Final Words

The next block in the way of raising our vibration is other people and their opinions – mostly negative – and so it goes on. This is the way of humanity at the moment and will be for some time to come: fear, fear, and more fear. That is what it comes down to. It is why most souls cannot move forward on their spiritual path; the fear stops them. It frustrates me so much when I see clients who have so much potential and who, I know, can afford to take the course but choose not to do so. I know I should not feel that way, but seeing so much potential going nowhere and knowing that it will stay that way for another incarnation is very sad for me. The path is hard; there is no doubt about it. It is the battle of the Self and the Higher Self, and usually the Self wins.

Of course, before you can attain to the lowest form of Higher Self, one has to face one’s fear. As one who has done that and come out of it alive, I can tell you that it is the best thing I have ever done. In the beginning though, I could so easily not have taken the path I did and run away yet again. I am glad I did not do that.

If you are serious about raising your vibration and moving away from the earth plane to come back home to Spirit, you cannot move forward without a Master’s energy to assist you. You need a Master who will be with you constantly after the teaching is finished and one who does not make a charge for the extra teaching involved – which can often be for many years in the future. That is also included in the cost of the Master of Metaphysics Beginner’s Course. I still have students writing to me asking for advice and guidance who first came to me in 1997/8 and 1999, yet they are not charged one cent for that advice and guidance. To have a mentor help you on the path is a real blessing. Are you willing to step onto the path?

The Path – Continued

Many years later, I have learned to live in the now and not be afraid of change. I actually look forward to it each time it comes. Each change has taken me to the next level of my destiny, but it also has taken a long time. Some of the e-mails I received this week asked, “When is it going to happen?” “When am I going to get the rewards?” I hate to tell them that the rewards do not come until one learns the lessons, but this is the truth.

I remember sitting in my office in New Zealand in 1998 begging God to help me use my energy to help people. I honestly thought I was ready to do that. This was before I had the invitation to speak at the UN, and I suppose, in a way, that energy did give me the opportunity to use it, but I did not realize that I had another 12 years to go before I would be allowed to have the freedom to go where I needed to.

I was so impatient! The path to spiritual development is the hardest path anyone can take. It is fraught with frustration, fear, doubt, lack of confidence, and low self-esteem. If one has spent many incarnations fighting the Self but not dealing with issues, it can be a long, hard road. Eventually though, one gets to a place where there is very little to face any more and one is at peace – total peace. There are no worries or cares. What you need is provided, and the Self (although still there) is controlled most of the time.

I saw myself in every one of the e-mails I received this week. It is so hard for me to write to these people and tell them that this is what they have chosen and that they cannot blame anyone else but themselves. Even worse, the people they are having problems with and are angry with are the ones who have come to help them to face those issues. That often goes over like a lead balloon!

The Path

During the last few weeks, I have had a lot of (may I say) “winging” e-mails from various people around the world. You know, the kind of e-mail which says: “Why me?” “Woe is me!” “Why am I suffering like this?” – and other such questions. These are from spiritual people, some of whom have taken my courses and should know why they are going through what they are. If I had known what I would go through once I opened the door to metaphysics, I would honestly never have opened the door. But I did, and it has been a plodding path ever since. The thing is that I had nobody to help me. My teachers disappeared over a two year period, and I was then on my own. Of course, I had Maitreya, my teacher from the other side of the veil in what we call “Spirit,” but in the beginning I found it hard to understand what he wanted of me.

First, and foremost, we need to remember that all of our so-called suffering is not suffering, but a way for us to clear away old energy. I would have never have thought that I would put myself through some of the things I did, but I did. I personally created it, and it was the only way I could get rid of the abject fear I had and learn valuable lessons. Once we come to accept that we are the creators of our own reality – that we alone have created what we are going through for our own good – and that those who are hurting us are actually helping us, then we can actually see – either immediately or later – where they are helping us.

I remember leaving my dream home (after only two years in the house) and having to move to another state in Australia. My then-husband conveniently went “within” and left me to carry the burden of the responsibility of a recession. I asked God, “Why?” I was not even metaphysical then, but it seemed so unfair. Yet, it was that move that opened up the door to my metaphysical future.

Thanksgiving and Other Things – Final Words

I would like to suggest that those of you who are spiritual, want to raise your vibration, and who do not live in the USA either adopt the Thanksgiving celebration or choose another day so that you also can take the opportunity to let go of your issues to do with anyone who has upset you and to thank the Universe for your blessings – because we all have them.

I will never forget my first husband’s words when I had walked 5 miles to work and 5 miles back to earn $7.50AUD in 1988. I was so depressed at only earning that amount in the coffee shop I did readings in. On my arrival home and moaning about my fate, he said, “Well it is a loaf of bread, a bag of potatoes, a carton of milk, and an uncooked chicken that you did not have the money for, but you do now.” I felt so terrible because that $7.50 did, at that time, provide those items. I was indeed blessed, but could not see it. For every experience I have gone through which could be termed negative, there has been a positive outcome either in learning lessons, experiences, or letting something go. Whenever I find myself bemoaning my lot these days I remember those words.

My mother use to say when I bemoaned my fate, “Well at least you are not disabled or deaf or blind.” Indeed, I was not, and it would always make me bless my life. Forgiveness and thankfulness are two of the most important things to deal with on a spiritual aspirant’s path. There is nothing more needed than to practice them. You cannot move forward until you begin their practice and then to continue practicing them. It took me until two years ago to learn that lesson and to finally let go of everything I had in my life that was holding me back. Look upon your enemies as being your very blessed friends, because they are once you return home to Spirit. It is just sad that we will not see that until we do go home!

General Stuff 3 – Final Words

It never ceases to amaze me how many people write to me with questions that can be answered from my books. I have written a number of books with a great deal of information in them, most of which is not in other metaphysical books. I recently recorded an audio book version of The Photon Energy book. This enables you to listen to the book in your car while driving or to download into your i-pod and to listen to it and not have to read the book. In a few weeks time, all of the books will be on audio CD. The writings of Maitreya (www.maitreya-edu.org) hold a wealth of information on many hundreds of subjects written by him since 1997. One does not have to be without knowledge. Many of these writings are also available on an audio CD recorded by Alan and, may I say, recorded superbly by him. The feedback on these audio readings has been phenomenal.

There is no need (as I stated) to be without information on any metaphysical subject. Maitreya has written just about everything on every subject. Put it into the search engines in his website and it will come up. If you do not find what you need, write and ask him to write about it. He may not do that for some time, but he will eventually get around to it. When I began my development, I honestly thought that it was going to be so easy. I thought that I was going to be taken care of financially, that I would be in heaven most of the time, and that it would not take long. I was completely wrong. Spiritual development is about facing our fears, about being true to who we are on the level of our Higher Self and not in what the Self tells us or wants us to be. It is discipline – obedience in a way – to Spirit and not being afraid to face your dark side. It is also about keeping no secrets. The more you try to; the more they will be exposed!
