SOUL GROUPS 

One of the Masters, Silver Birch, says that we know exactly what we come into this world to do and what our life purpose is, the reason behind it all. In essence … there are no conscripts, only volunteers!

We are told that our Soul Group is our family in the spirit world, and they as individuals are divided into groups that are incarnated with us as a physical family, or just as friends, work mates etc, and some members of the group stay in the spirit world to assist us from there.

Some might incarnate with us this time around perhaps not just as a helper in the obvious way, but as the opposite to what we might expect. For example, parents and siblings could reverse the roles, giving us each a chance to progress in different ways. Just as we ourselves need to alternate our own roles to gain all the different experiences, so we too come as different people, not just in the way you might expect, but as different races, colours and genders. For these are not issues in the spirit world but often are very much so in this one! How else are we going to experience the prejudice and kindness – the negative and positives?

Friends and enemies too might reverse their roles this time, we perhaps have issues that are unsettled, left over from a pervious time, like ‘debts’ to be ‘paid’, and they are carried on to that next physical life, debts of gratitude [and the opposite] to use the oriental word karma. And when the issues can only be sorted out in the physical world, then we actually need to reincarnate

We are also told by the Masters that we can use our own physical bodies in many different ways to assist the progress of others, in the form of ‘sacrifice’, for example by having a condition that might cause a dependency.  Living a material life in a special / disabled way, in a material shell of discomfort / frustration can be a way of ‘speeding up’ the repaying of a karmic debt through self sacrifice.

DISASTERS

So if we all know before we come here what is in our path to experience, including our mode of ‘death’, this year’s Tsunami Asian disaster looks a little different. It does not take away the loss or belittle human life, nor are the Masters advocating the total ‘leave it up to god’ type of thinking. Each situation, [and a disaster is a situation of extreme proportions,] is an opportunity to act as a benefit to mankind, to enact self sacrifice, to not allow ‘gods work’ to be an excuse to stop our own free will or inhibit the progression.

The lives of all disaster victims are accounted for in ways that we know little about and can only guess, and on the personal level the chance to put right our mistakes and return favours with love seems like a great idea to me. What sort of God would give us only one chance to progress in this earthly form?

Can people still truly think that disasters are an angry ‘person’ we call God taking out some grudge against His children who were made with His love? Why should the failings of the human being and the least spiritual feelings of spite be blamed on Him? No, we cause the karma we face.

Step back and see a bigger picture here, understand that each soul before coming here in agreement, knew what was in store and agreed to the plan. Seems silly? Not so, the memory of this has to be wiped out because being so human and self centred we would waste a lot of time trying to outwit our own fate, and possible our own deaths too. Naturally we all would like a life chosen by the easy loving self, one we could live with equanimity and grace – now that is silly!

Disasters, natural and man-made are not to show the negative aspect of the planet or persons on it, but the positive! They are karmic manifestations of that planet, country, town, or individual. Yes, karma is not limited in any way. The universe is not manifested in all its glory to a purpose that can ‘step out’ of the laws of physics, nor can we, so this is making the so-called first nations and third world responsible as groups for their actions too. All draw to them the ‘fates’ they need to progress on the path of spiritual enlightenment.

Yes nations have Karma too! Both eastern and western are in the same system, the karma of a country exists too, and comes around eventually; think of the historical ‘Opium Wars’ of the eighteen hundreds, where the Chinese fought bravely to keep out the opium, and the western war lords in their greed overcame that resistance with aggression. Now compare that part of history to our problems with that same drug and its derivatives in the western world today. Makes you think?

Down on the personal level I am not saying that everything seemingly ‘bad’ is that person’s fault and they should have avoided it! Good grief, no! What I am saying is the Spirit Masters and Teachers tell us that each time the daily comfy life is disturbed, we have an opportunity to reflect the values of that comfy life, physically and spiritually.

On the path of progression mental / emotional values and motives are as important as our physical ones, if not more, because thinking is an energy form that is noted in the other world too. It is not always the results we see with our material eyes that go down in the book of knowledge you know!

We know that the so-called death is not an end to anything at all. So we must understand that we continue to go on learning in the spirit world, I have given many a message about what a loved one is learning to do so they may help others in the future. Our choice of character / personality which forms our spirit /soul that we take back with us, is seen only as light on some levels over there. No pockets in shrouds! Our character is all  we take back with us!

Lessons are learnt, personality forming choices are made by being in the action, not looking on it from the safe settee in our comfy living rooms, it’s a sad fact that we don’t learn as well from other peoples experiences as we do our own, history repeats itself too often for that to be the case. And by the way, don’t feel envy when you see a person having the ‘good life’, where you are struggling on without their seeming advantages, we can never know what suffering is seen by spirit eyes. That old adage of ‘what goes round comes around’ is oh so true, but in spirit time, not ours.

And so, what is the attitude of the spiritual thinking person towards disasters?  Using those God given gifts of insight we intuit that our world and all the others that we know nothing about, are in the hands of a mighty, just, and true Law, based on Spiritual Love, which can only work out in the best possible way.

Why? Because justice is manifesting every day in the best and only way it can, without our necessarily knowing the details of exactly how, this Law of Cause and Effect, this law of ‘do as you would be done by’ and 'like attracts like' is built into all the universes, and all that lies therein.

The spiritual etheric template is perfect; we will come back to our rightful homes in the many mansions of His house in the only way we can, through love, the same love with which we were made.

Amen to that!

Can two thirds of the planets population have got it wrong for thousands of years? Perhaps the material attitude of the industrial so-called 'rich nations' might have been better to adopt the eastern view. My professer of oriental medicine made the comment that scientists are at last getting around the the beliefs of the Ancient Ones, the universe is expanding and it is now believed this world is but  tiny grain of sand compared to the rest of existance in its many forms.

The spirit masters tell us that our Soul Group is our family in the spirit world, and they as individuals might be incarnated with us as a physical family, but maybe as just as friends, work mates etc. While some members stay  in the spirit world to help and to assist the guides and helpers, yet others come this time around as the opposite to what we might expect. For example parents and siblings could reverse the roles, giving a chance to progress in different ways this time.

Friends and enemies too might reverse their roles this time, we perhaps have issues that are unsettled, ‘debts’ to be ‘paid’, and, if the solutions can only be sorted out in the physical they are carried on to that next physical life, debts of gratitude and the opposite to use the oriental word karma. [By the bye, we are told that living this life in a mental or physically disabled way, living in a shell of discomfort or outright frustration, can be a way of ‘speeding up’ the repaying of a karmic debt through sacrifice.]

Another piece of information from the spirit world is that the ‘little death’ of sleep each night takes us beyond the knowledge of remembrance, time and time again into the spirit world, and gives an opportunity [to the able] to also act as helpers in that spirit world of loving kindness. But we have not the ability to store that information - we rely on the Guides to help us understand this through books and evidence from most trustworthy persons. [Automatic writting was a popular method after the last war.]

You might say the basic law of ‘like attracts like’ is acting here as the teacher/organiser, this means that we attract the souls to us that are going to help us learn whatever we need, so that we can progress on our path, which is back where we belong enveloped in the loving arms of the Great White Spirit – God.

Mediums use the mental mediumship of clairvoyance to get spiritual information and evidence these days – it was not always so, the history of spiritualism is founded in the physical mediumship of material evidence and manifestation. Having seen an object [in secure circumstances] materialise out of ‘thin air’, or a person shake hands with you when you know they are now in the spirit world, perhaps makes the oddity of these other ideas being put foreword not quite so strange after all.

So what of the tsunami?

How do we reconcile the facts? Do people truly think that it's an angry ‘person’ we call God  taking out some grudge against the children who were made in love? [Who for sure is not a mere person in the first place.] Why should the failings of the human being, and the least spiritual feelings of spite be blamed on Him? Use a bit of that rare commodity, common sense here.

Step back and see a bigger picture here, understand that each soul before coming here in agreement, knew what was in store and agreed to the plan.

Seems silly? Not so, the memory of this is wiped out, or being so human and self centred we would waste a lot of time trying to outwit death, naturally I too would like a life chosen my myself, one I could live with equanimity and grace – now that is silly!
