Good evening children.

We will take personal questions and then complete the questions that
were left unasked the last week.

Q :Sir, some of us can see visions and some of us cannot, and we feel
left out because of this.

You feel left out, my child? Child, can you paint?

No, Sir.

Can you play music? You do not feel left out then? Child, what is this?
Only an ability. You do not need to feel left out. It does not show
whether you are evolved or not, it does not reveal the vibratory speed
of the soul and, child, it certainly does not show the soul's spiritual
evolution. It is just an ability.

Sir,...

We know your question. We also know that this child will not accept
anything in return for the private meetings she has been permitted to
take. But, yes child, you are right, there must be an energy exchange.
But your reason for that is wrong. The medium will not have any karmic
link with you, but we will. Surprised, my child? Yes, we will. And your
energy exchange with the medium is actually with us. But when the medium
is so disagreeable with the entire thought of an energy exchange in a
physical form we will not insist. But those who come for any private
meeting with this medium ( it will be different from channel to channel,
my children )  must be asked to feed either an animal or another human
being. This must be done within seven days of the meeting. Those who
have already had a meeting may do so now. Any further questions on this,
my child?

No, Sir.

Sir, about the spiritual evolution. how do you know whether what you are
doing is correct for the body that you inhabit?

Child, if it is not meant, you will experience such a high level of
discomfort, of agitation, of stress, that you will know that this is not
the path you need to take. If there is any further doubt, (because be
aware my child, this same discomfort can arise in the case where the
right path has to be followed but the physical mind resists), if you are
unclear about the discomfort you are feeling, your meditation will
certainly give you the answer. If this is still a question of doubt,
then the best option is to go to any channel and ask the guides of that
channel, and your doubts will be cleared. But, child, for souls like
you, personal doubts must be cleared personally. Encourage yourself to
link more and more with your higher self, even if you sometimes make a
mistake.

Sir, when there is only one God why are there a plethora of religions,
in whose name so many have been killed?

My son, at different times God, the Divine Spirit, you and I, saw the
need for a messenger who could  bring forth the message of God, who
needed to remind the souls of those times. Those messengers used
different means, different rituals, different stories and parables, all
with only one purpose .. they desired to make it easier for those living
in those times to understand the message that they proclaimed. But, my
son, as we have seen so often in these little meetings of ours, it is
difficult for the physical mind to let go of the control and very often,
as it is in this case, the physical mind latches on to the rituals, to
the stories and makes them the truth. And the message  behind is lost.
And that is called religion. Religion is merely a manifestation of the
message of God, of the Divine Soul, of which you and I and all those who
have gone before and all who will come ahead, are a part.

Sir, but why was there not only one religion?

Child, of course there was one religion. How can there be more than one
message, but it was used in different ways and then those ways were
manipulated by the so-called chieftains, priests. And that is when the
message of the Lord was completely lost, completely buried. At different
times, different messengers were sent with the same religion. Not one
messenger, my son, not one proclaimed himself the Divine Spirit. All,
all asked that they be followed, not for personal glory, or for vanity
or for ego but because they knew that the lost souls required an
example, a living, breathing, walking example. And that is why the
example said 'Follow me. Because when you do what I do, when you believe
what I believe, then you will also know that you are also the son of
God, that you are also a part of this large divinity.'

Sir, there is a question from R. May I read it out, please?

We know the question, son. You must tell her that the only true form of
prayer is that which is enveloped in a gold and green light. Then
whether that prayer is word, or a thought or a sentence matters not.
When the prayer is enveloped in this green and gold light it carries
with it love, and healing and wisdom that is infinite. That is all that
is required in a prayer. That is all that is required in any prayer. Why
she feels the agitation, why she has been crying, is because she relives
her moment of separation from her dear one. She has used the knowledge
that she has, to try and forget the loss of a mother. She has not been
completely successful. She must try harder. It is the same bereavement
that comes up rushing to the fore when she hears of another's loss. The
right path would be to hold on to that moment and to let the tears flow.
Her grief is not complete; she must complete her grief. Ask this child
of mine to send to her the meditation which will help her to let go of
the grief of bereavement.

Now for the unasked questions.

The human mind has been given to us for a reason, and coming with the
human mind are our thoughts. When this is something that is out of our
control, why should there be karma? This question itself is from the
physical mind. Thoughts are the greatest cause of karma. Every thought,
whether spoken or unspoken, creates karma, because your thought
origi-nates in the mind. It is only feeling that does not lead to karma.
You will feel now that when I say this , when I say that feeling does
not lead to karma, you will wonder 'what about hate'? That is not a
fee-ling, that is a thought. Anything negative is not a feeling.
Feelings originate in the soul, and nothing negative can originate in
the soul. Thoughts lead to karma because every thought is a judgement.
When you think that this person is foolish you have passed judgement.
When you think that this child should follow a certain course of action,
that is a judgement. When you think that this little child has not done
her duty, that is a judgement. When you think that this marvellous soul
is wonderfully kind, that is also a judgement. Do not judge. Do not
judge. That is why thought leads to karma. Because you judge. And your
mind is riddled with thought..how this and when that and why this and
not that. What are all these if not judgements? Now, you will say that
it is impossible  not to think, you will ask if it is not right for you
to question? Of course, you must. You must question because you have the
right as a discerning, wise soul to question. But, children, you must
question without judgement. There is a difference. It may not be
appa-rent to you at present, but, sit with yourselves, look within your
souls, study carefully the thoughts that you have had and then be honest
whether these thoughts have been judgements or not. If a thought is free
of judgement it will not lead to karma.

Even if it is an evil thought?

Child, can an evil thought be without judgement?

No, Sir, judgement in the sense ...

Child, an evil thought does not originate in the heart. What originates
in the mind leads to karma.

Sir, when we see what is happening just now, like the earthquake relief
funds that are being misappropriated, can we not do something about
that?

Child, before I answer the question,by using the word 'misappropriated'
have you not passed a judgement? Yes, you think that it is
misappro-priated. How, my children, have you come to that judgement?
How, without linking with your higher self, do you know that the use is
not right? Is only your consideration right? Yes, because you are kind
and generous, you naturally wish that the aid must go to those who
truly, again as per your judgement, require it. Child, do you know
better than the divine? Do you, as a physical soul, know better? Then
you cannot use that word. Children, what you need to learn is the use of
words. You do not say that the funds are misappropriated, you say 'the
funds are not being used in the way I consider it proper, but I may be
wrong.' That is when your words do not lead to karma, because of course,
as individual souls you will have your individual thoughts and feelings,
but also as a spiritual soul you have acknowledged the limitation of the
physical soul.

Sir, then do we never give judgment on what is wrong?

NEVER. NEVER. NO JUDGEMENT. YOU DO NOT JUDGE. YOU CAN DECIDE ONLY WITH
YOUR MIND. YOU FEEL ONLY WITH YOUR SOUL. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU TO
DECIDE. THE PHYSICAL MIND DOES NOT FEEL. IT ONLY DECIDES BASED UPON ITS
OWN LIMITATIONS, AND THEN IT PASSES JUDGEMENTS BASED UPON ITS
LIMITATIONS. What you are doing, my child, is trying to defend your
physical mind.

Help us to become more spiritual, Sir.


EXERCISE   TO BECOME  MORE  SPIRITUAL :  (4. 2. 01)

Of course. That is why we are here. One small exercise that you might
do. For the next fortnight be aware of every word that you say. You
might get a few funny looks because when you are going to be aware of
what you say, you will naturally have to pause in order to frame the
correct words with the help of your higher self, and then voice these
words. Do not be deterred by those funny looks. For fifteen days, child,
practice this every time you say something or you think something, use
the correct words, and then, my child, ask me this question again.

If you see something that you appreciate, is that also judgement?

Yes. Because your physical mind is comfortable with what you have seen
and so it passes a judgement that it is good.

Sir, but then that is good karma, isn't it?

Child, there is no good or bad karma. What is karma, child? We have
already explained. It is only a result. How can a result be good or bad?
Don't you see what you are doing? You even want to pass judgement on
karma. How can it be good and how can it be bad? It is only a result.

Sir, aren't we born to solve our bad karma so that we can evolve?

You are here only to experience lessons that you have learnt. You learnt
those lessons as a result of all action, word and thought in the past.
You also learnt, when you were on our side, that all action, word and
thought, whether ( as per your judgement) it is good or bad, led to
karma because the manifestation of that energy was not due to a
recognition of divinity in another; the manifestation of that energy was
because you wished to be comfortable as a physical soul. You are now
here to experience what you have learnt.

Sir, you said that we develop karma with you when we communicate with
you, but do you develop karma with us?

Of course. If we did not recognize the divinity within you, of course we
would. That is why, my son, counsellors, friends on the other side,
guides from lower planes, develop karma with those they help. In fact,
it is their greatest lesson as guides, as a counsellors, to help not
because you desire to help but because you recognize the divinity in the
person. You might be surprised when I say this, but, my children, I have
no desire to help you, I have no desire to see your progress, I have no
desire to change whatever decision your physical mind takes. But, there
is a reason for this. I do not see you as your physical self ; I only
see you as the spiritual soul that you are and when I see that soul I
see myself and I see everything and everyone and I see all energy and I
become that energy. When that happens there is no desire.

Because if I were to desire that she get out of her problems, that
desire would come because I wanted to feel good about myself as your
guide. If she gets out of her conflict, everyone would be joyous. If she
does not get of her conflict, everyone will be joyous. We are here to
only help, we are not here to pass judgement on how you take our help.
(S laughed here)

Son, you laughed. I know what you want to say. You go back to the last
meeting, and you wonder if that was not a push or a desire on the part
of the High Lord. No desire. The High Lord perceives you as a soul who
has a blueprint. In his way he will place the blueprint in front of you.
What he said was completely true, my son. You felt humiliated. You
should ask yourself 'why'. You will get your answer.

But, if our help is constantly refused, we, as guides, then ask the
higher self of the person who is constantly refusing our help, if help
may be withdrawn. Sometimes the higher self agrees and help is
withdrawn, because the higher self recognizes that the physical soul is
not ready and may not ready for a very long time, in spite of what the
blueprint has chosen. And in today's circumstances, my son, you must
understand that our help must go to the largest number of souls possible
and if, you as a soul, desire no help, my son, then, yes, we must
withdraw our help. We must acquiesce to your decision.

Sir, is it not better to remain silent than to create karma by words?

Thought leads to the greatest karma. Because thought has the highest
vibration. You might think that it is word and deed, but thought has the
highest vibration in speed. Word has the strongest vibration in
strength. Action is a mix of the two and comes somewhere in between. So,
because thought has the highest vibration in speed it leads to the
greatest karma and it leads to the maximum karma because you think all
the time. Child, a silence that is resentful is far worse than words
spoken. When you verbalize your resentment in words that are loving but,
at the same time, contain the pride that you feel for yourself as a
spiritual soul, those words will cause you no harm. Thoughts will.

Sir, to control our thoughts is it ok to chant a mantra or meditate on a
particular word?

If you are parroting it, it is useless. I am glad you ask this, because
many of you feel that sitting down and chanting a mantra or a prayer 100
times, 101 times, 71 times will do you good. It does you no good. If in
the entire day, you have one moment when you truly linked with your
higher self and the divine soul and there was a only a sound of Om that
came up to your lips, that is all the prayer required. Yes, your mantras
are useful, yes your prayers are useful, if you are using them as aids
in order to link to the divine soul. But if you are a parrot, then they
are not useful.

Sir, how do we stop the flow of thought?

Do what I told this child to do for fifteen days, and then you may again
ask me, if at the end of fifteen days you have not found your answer,
yourself.

Sir, is it not possible that when a negative thought leaves you, you can
cancel that thought before it reaches that person by saying 'cancel'?

You can, but not by saying that word. If, when it has left you, you have
at once realized the recognition of soul to soul then you do not need
any word. The recognition has already re-called the thought. When we
asked you to meditate and when we asked you to go through the
medi-tation of cancelling all your negative thoughts,what were we asking
you to do? Not to merely say those words but when you think of the
per-son to whom you forwarded the negativity, don't look at his/ her
physi-cal being, but merge yourself with the soul and then cancel that
thought.

Q : Sir, I am a little confused about good karma. Suppose I really like
something, really appreciate it, how do I express myself, without
passing judgement?

'I enjoy it'

Sir, if I say I like something or that I like the way something is done,
is that also judgement?

Your very question tells me that you already know the answer?

Sir, but there is nothing wrong with karma, is there?

There is nothing wrong in anything. How can there be anything wrong when
everything is a manifestation of divinity? What is 'evil'? It is just
another who does not 'live' the way you do. But, of course you call it
evil and that is why that very interesting conversation that ensued a
while ago about Hitler. Children, we are here much before and much after
you all leave. Child, Hitler did a task of cleansing. Was this
earthquake evil?
No, Sir.

Why because it was an act of nature? So, if it was caused by a man, that
man would be evil? Of course, by your judgement that man would be.
Cleansing. Hitler cleansed.

Sir, was he an ascended master?

No, but he was a soul that undertook this in order to gain ascension.
And you passed judgement upon him. Now who built up karma?

(Sir dictated this to me as I was transcribing this message. " This is a
good example to show you why your judgement from the physical mind can
be so faulty. Your mind judged his actions as evil, as cruel, as
merciless, without knowing the truth. This truth was not available to
your physical mind, it was only available to your higher soul which was
a vital part of this cleansing process as were the souls of all. When
you, in your ignorance, pass a judgement you will create a result which
you will have to learn from  . . . you will have to learn that whatever
appears to the physical mind is an illusion, which must not be paid
attention to, as it is only another instance when the mind is trying to
gain control.  Let the supremacy of the soul prevail at all times and no
karma will be built. This is the only way to ascension.)

Sir, did we help Hitler become a better person by passing judgement upon
him?

My child, all helps all.

Sir, that means every moment of our lives we are building up some karma
or the other.

Difficult, but true. That is why you come again and again and again,
hoping that in every lifetime there will be more moments of no karma.

Sir, isn't there some SOS to stop this karma?

A very good word.SOS. Very good. Do just that,my child. Save your soul.

Sir, you say that we come here to do away with whatever we have to, but
as soon as we come here you make us forget everything.

Child, I will not take the credit for that. You must take the credit, it
is rightfully yours, as is the responsibility that goes with that
credit.

Sir, life is a paradox isn't it?
There is no paradox.

Sir, we do something and that is karma and we don't do it and that is
also karma.

You can do one thing, which you do not. You can recognize the divinity
of another.

Sir, all of us at some point of time think badly of ourselves. Does this
lead to karma with ourselves?

Completely, because then you pass judgement on the divine soul itself.
Not only do you pass judgement on the spark of divinity in another, but
you do not even respect the spark of divinity that is you. That karma,
my son, has far reaching consequences, more than karma with another.
Unless you love and respect the divinity that you are, unless you accept
and acknowledge the weaknesses that you have come with, as part of
physical limitations  and restrictions, unless you recognize that you
are God, there is no further evolution. Every time you say 'I am scared'
'I am foolish' 'I do not know how to do this', those are moments when
not only do you not recognize divinity, but you abuse it. If you are
scared, say this: I, with my physical limitations, am fearful, but I
know that my spiritual soul is fearless.
If you have made a mistake which you think is foolish, say this: I, due,
to my physical limitation, have made a mistake which I will not judge,
but I recognize the full wisdom of my spiritual soul.

Sir, if you are truly repentant for..

There is no repentance, there is no repentance, there is no regret. We
do not wish it, you do not wish it, there is no regret in divinity.
There is only recognition. Then there is no karma. That one moment of
recognition erases karma.

Sir, you don't need the mind, do you?

Of course you need it. My son, you need it to survive within your
physical limitation. Yes, if you want to transcend physical limitation,
the mind must take a back seat. But, do not ever underestimate the power
of your mind. If you do not allow the mind to be your master, the mind
will not. You have conditioned the mind, you have welcomed it as your
master. If you welcome me into your home, will I not come? And then when
I am here will you say I do not welcome you any more? Now that you have
welcomed your mind as your master, love it, engulf it with so much love
that when you request your mind to do its correct duty and to allow your
soul to lead, your mind will not resist. But, child, how can you love
your mind? It is part of you and you do not love yourself.

Sir, then an egoist must be loving his mind a great deal.

No son,a man who has vanity or physical ego is one whom we try to help,
because a man with physical ego does not love himself at all. When you
see such a man engulf him in your love,do not condemn him, do not judge
him, do not call him the word that you just did. He needs your love, not
your condemnation. With your love he will be able to see him-self as the
divine soul. Then he will be able to love himself. He will then not need
this armor, this shield of vanity.  Do not, my son, con-demn the shields
of others. They are their protection. Do not snatch them away, but
gently, gently, make them recognize that love is the greatest shield,
that all other shields are insignificant in its comparison.

Children, we are so glad to hear your questions, but we wonder if you
have really heard them. Can you hear your judgement? Can you hear your
condemnation? Can you hear your superiority? When you tell another what
to do are you not judging yourself as superior? And again if you,I and
all of creation is one divine soul,can one part be superior,can another
part be inferior? Son, can there then be any wrong, or good, or bad?

Sir, what do you do if someone asks you for advice?

Very good. You must first tell that person that 'I am giving you this
advice completely within the limitations of my physical being. I am not
passing judgement or condemning you because you and I are one, and I
recognize you as such, but because you have asked I will give you,
within the restrictions of physical being, and you must accept it or
reject it as such.'

HLM: HAIL!! Those two children ( S & P) must come in the middle of the
circle. You were once wed with the physical soul, you are now wed in
spiritual soul. From this day forth you will know each other's soul as
you know your own. Your work together has begun. You, my child, (S) must
guide, must show the way; you, my child, (P) must heal the soul so that
the soul follows the path shown. Speak.

I'm not very clear.

Child, you will now start your work of showing the path out of a soul's
conflict, to those who desire it. You will get your messages, do not
doubt. The power is within you, it always was. When you have shown the
path of the conflict, my son will heal the conflict, if desired by the
soul. You have great work to do, my son.

Sir, do you mean we are one soul?

You are spiritually wedded, you cannot be one soul. But, now you will
work as one. Son, your path will take a turn. Do not resist it. Sit, my
children.

Take in the energy.
Glory, be thine.
