Working for Spirit – Continued

It was not only the repayment of karma though, and the other issues (such as facing the fear and trusting), it was also the past-life injuries and health issues which came up. Issues would arise out of the blue which were connected to past lives. One of them was a painful left leg. The pain was so bad I thought I had bone cancer. The health problems began from the time I connected with Maitreya. There were many of them – aches and pains which came out of nowhere and at times stopped me in my tracks. I could not believe what was coming to the surface. I was lucky because, each time something did come up, I was told what it was and where it came from, but it was not easy having to cope with it – especially as I had to continue doing my work with Maitreya, which often involved traveling and spending time away. It is one thing to go through these things in the comfort of one’s own home, but to go through it in hotel rooms and having to fly around the world while experiencing it was not a pleasant thing to do.

Those years were certainly not pleasant, and were made worse by the fact that my husband at the time was also going through it and bringing past-life pain and issues with his health to the surface. It was seven years of this happening and not giving in to fear before it began to wane. After 1999, I felt strongly that I had faced the issues and, not only that, I would not face them in the future (which turned out to be right). However, at this time I had gone through 14 years of experiencing the past-life energy in all its forms. I did not take it easily either. My Self complained all the way. If I had a dollar for every time I wanted to leave and run away, I would be a very wealthy person in my own right by now.

Working for Spirit

When I first began my spiritual/metaphysical path, I was of the impression that, once I began working with Spirit, I would get rewards, and life would become easier. The truth is, it became harder. The reason for this? There are many reasons. I did not come to the awareness until many years later, but basically, before one can get the rewards, one has to work through any karma which is outstanding and repay any karma which is due. One cannot move on and work with Spirit while debt is due. It is as simple as that. In the beginning, I found that many people did not like me. I am not surprised as in a past life I had hurt and caused a lot of problems for a lot of people. In this life I had tried so hard to be the ideal person but, of course, I had all of my past-life issues which needed to be ironed out.

Terrible things happened to me, from people being quite nasty (I was nasty in past lives) to people ripping me off money-wise, or starting to work with me then leaving me to “carry the can” so to speak. I did not realize the onslaught of past-life energy I needed to repay or experience. Just because I was working with Maitreya did not mean I was devoid of these experiences.

It was actually after I merged with his energy that things got a lot worse, and they did not finish until I did the UN talk to a metaphysical group in 1999. It was seven hard years of learning, repaying past debts, and hard lessons about fear and trust. Looking back, I really never knew it was happening, but it was and, by the time I realized it was like this and that I was working on past-life issues, it was too late. Years had gone by and I could not go back!

Why? – Final Words

Perhaps I was programmed to do what I did, and it was all meant to be. I wouldn’t doubt it as I was told at 5 years of age by a “knowing” that one day I would work with God. My husband, Alan, felt the same. He, too, has never wavered about what Maitreya needs done. His Self has tried to stop him at times, but his Higher Self has always won the battle. For all of you who are thinking of working for Spirit and working with a Master, there are no magic wands or “abracadabra’s,” nor is there going to be lottery winnings anytime soon. You have to show Spirit that you trust and have no fear. It is agony doing this because often they will wait to give you what you need until the very last minute – but it will come. It is hard work and it isn’t couched in glamour or rewards. The rewards come later, but they do come if you learn the lessons you have come to learn.

You also need to be aware that Spirit does not tolerate those who tell lies, are not true to themselves, and who cannot accept that they have faults. We all have faults on the earth plane because we have the Self part of us. They do not accept excuses either. When the Masters call, we are supposed to jump. Often this is because, astrologically, it is the right timing – even at 3:00 in the morning! However, working for them can give one the most incredible happiness and contentment.

Knowing that I have helped someone move on has more meaning for me than all the money in the world. It always will. Maitreya says that, if you can help one person in this world, your life is worth living. When I think back to the people I have been able to help (with Spirit’s help), I am extremely proud of what I have done. I can face God when I die and say, “Yes, my life was worth living.” It is not about money, fame, success, or any other reason. It is about service and serving humanity. Eventually everything will come to you because of that purpose, but when it does, one does not need it. One is satisfied fully inside.

Why? – Continued

I have often written about my Self in this blog and the battle I had with it. As I write this blog I am beginning to realize just how much of my Higher Self was there and how it did override the Self a lot of the time when it came time to doing things – such as the travel to Palmerston North. It has been an awakening for me to find that out.

Working for the Masters is not easy because very rarely do we have enough discipline in our lives and so we have to learn how to have discipline which, of course, the Self part of us does not like. But we also have to be prepared to do things at the last minute. Often Alan and I are not told about what we are to do work-wise until the last minute. Why is this? It is because if we knew beforehand, our Self would do all it could to sabotage us. It is as simple as that!

Having trust and faith is huge. It is so hard to fight the fear because we are not used to that. For me, the 1982 recession in Australia helped greatly because often I did not know when I would buy groceries as there was a bill to pay and it was a toss-up between the bill and food. My cupboards were always bare but, at the end of the week, I always had the money for food. I would have only enough for the basic groceries, but it would be there. I might have to sell something in a garage sale, but I would always manifest the money for what we needed. I put it down to not worrying about it or where it would come from. I remember one Christmas nobody knowing about our financial situation except a neighbor and, although she swore it was not her, I believe she told a charity about us because they left a gift basket of Christmas produce on our doorstep.

Why?

Somebody asked me the other day why I am so lucky and seem to lack nothing to do my work. I told her it is because I personally feel that I have given so much over the years – especially in the early years of my work. Maitreya has also made sure that there was enough financially to do his work and to help us achieve it. We got into a discussion about spiritual/metaphysical work and how many people struggle to do this. I have to be honest and state that I have never found it hard. From day one when I went into my development (albeit with a short learning term of about a year), I always had what I needed. Sometimes it would be only what I needed, but it was always there.

I did not realize in the beginning that it is all about faith, having the faith and belief in Spirit – or as I have always called them, “those upstairs” – and learning to let go of fear, which is soooo very hard to do. But in the beginning, it was about me having faith and trust. I was not earning any money when I began my path. My then-husband was the sole wage earner, and we managed financially, even though some weeks it was hard. Once I started earning money (if I recall, it was less than a $100 a week to begin with), I thought we had died and gone to heaven because we not only had his income, but an extra income with what I was earning. I remember being able to go away for a weekend to a holiday destination once we had the extra money! As I got better at what I did and earned more money, life got a lot better financially. In the beginning though, I always had a small income.
