The Afterlife and Selling Your Soul Clarification

The Afterlife and Selling Your Soul Clarification

Dear people of Earth,

This is Emerelda speaking. I greet you with empathy and love.

Last week Hakann made a remark about selling one’s soul. Someone in the comment section disagreed with Hakann’s statement. To that person: thank you for your comment, I appreciate it because it nudged me to discuss this topic in more detail.

As you may have realized: creation was set up with the central value of free will. Creation wasn’t set up with the central value of niceness, or comfort, or of people being protected from bad or destructive choices. Instead, it was set up with the central value of free will, and the amount of free will you can exercise is actually quite extreme when you think about it.

For example, I am a mother and I think it’s quite outrageous that a person is able to intentionally kill a baby. That is clearly a very destructive and hurtful choice. Yet, it is possible. You can do all kinds of horrible things to other people, and in general no law of nature or angel will step in to stop you.

Similarly, nothing in the universe stops you from using hard drugs, or stops you from drinking alcohol until it kills you. Nothing in the universe stops you from grabbing a knife and wounding or even mutilating yourself. I think this illustrates that creation is set up to allow for an extreme amount of free will, including allowing actions that are clearly destructive to others or yourself.

With this in mind, is it possible to make a deal with a demon along the lines of: “give me riches and fame now, and in exchange after this life I, as a soul, will agree to go to a dark place and / or serve you”? Yes, that is possible. You have an extreme amount of free will in creation, why wouldn’t this be possible? If you make such a deal, the demon will attempt to pull you down to a dark place after your death, feeling justified in doing so. And it will probably succeed in doing so. What would normally prevent a demon from trying to pull you down, will not protect you in this case because you made a free-will choice. And higher consciousness beings are pretty big on allowing people to make free-will choices, even destructive ones.

And that is what is called: selling your soul.

Now, selling your soul is not an irrevocable or a forever-process. Even after you do it, you can call on for example Jesus for help, and he will help you. Or if you raise your vibration and level of consciousness sufficiently through spiritual practice, you can end up in a situation where you can either resist being pulled down because the dark place doesn’t energetically fit you. Or if you already were pulled down you can become high-conscious enough that you just drift up and out of the dark place you were in. Or you can grow to become powerful enough that you can defeat and usurp the dark master you promised to serve.

Still, I don’t recommend selling your soul.

But yes, selling your soul is a real thing. You can do a search and note just how many people talk about or sing about selling their soul.

Now, yes, I do know what a metaphor is, but metaphors don’t spring up out of nothing. If selling your soul wasn’t possible, then the term “selling your soul” wouldn’t have any kind of emotional resonance — then that would just be a combination of words that no one would ever actually say, similar to how no one says the words “duplicating your soul.” Because, you know, duplicating your soul is impossible, which is why no one says the words “duplicating your soul.” Well, similarly, if there wasn’t such a thing as selling your soul, then no one would say those words, and instead people would talk about “selling your freedom” or “selling your principles” to refer to the idea of a person giving up their freedom or principles to become rich or famous.

That’s a good rule of thumb in general: if a term has emotional resonance, then there’s probably something real though possibly misunderstood there.

Now, maybe the words “selling your soul” create a picture in people’s minds of their soul being irrevocably lost forever. Maybe that is why some people have a strong reaction against this concept, why they perhaps feel that “selling your soul” doesn’t resonate to such a strong degree that they feel they can say it’s nonsense. Indeed: it is true that you selling your soul doesn’t mean that it’s irrevocably lost forever.

So, selling your soul is one thing you can do. Another thing you can do is what Elizabeth April called “selling your body.” That is when you make a deal, and a hostile extraterrestrial or a demon enters your body and pushes your soul to the back. Then you can do nothing but watch, as the demon or hostile extraterrestrial takes control of your body and starts moving it. If there is no intervention, you can remain like that for a long time or even until death, at which point you go to the afterlife as normal.

“Afterlife as normal” means that a nice person goes to a nice place, while a person who seriously harmed others goes to a still relatively pleasant but not as nice place. We’ll discuss why later in this message. Right now, I want to mention that no soul is sent to be tortured for eternity. That doesn’t happen. Hell, in that sense, doesn’t exist.

Now, what does exist is a real, physical series of caves underground, where physical demons and hostile extraterrestrials were hurting humans. Fortunately, those caves were cleared between 7 December 2020 and 28 April 2021, through the efforts of an exceptional Earth human lightworker plus angels plus the galactic confederation. The humans in those caves were rescued and the demons and hostile extraterrestrials were dealt with.

Those series of caves were the thing that gave the term “hell” its emotional resonance. Now, souls were never sent to those caves by the creator of the universe, but still, there were humans there and they were suffering terribly. Fortunately, no more — these are just empty caves now.

That was one of the mechanisms that the dark forces used to lower the vibration of humanity and actually that of the Earth itself: deep in the Earth, they made a group of humans suffer terribly and never again let them see the sun. Through the collective subconscious, this stressed out and dampened all Earth humans. Plus, the dark forces feed off suffering.

It makes me very happy that these Earth humans were freed. They’re currently guests of us, the galactic confederation, and they have recovered. Some of them joke that they went from hell to heaven, although I don’t think our society is quite heaven. Though it’s certainly a whole lot more pleasant than Earth.

I empathize with these people — although I also want to physically help you, who are still on Earth.

It’s not impossible that some of these rescued people will serve as ambassadors when it’s finally time for us to land, basically to say: “those extraterrestrials aren’t evil, they’re actually really nice.” But, of course, it’s up to them if they want to do this or not. Alternatively, maybe Hakann can do a peace dance to break the ice.

Earlier in this message I remarked that nice people go to a nice place after death, and people who seriously harmed others go to a still relatively pleasant but not as nice place. This isn’t actually to reward the righteous or to punish the wicked. The universe doesn’t try to reward the righteous or punish the wicked. The universe is set up with free will as the central value, remember, and hurting others is a valid path from a high perspective. Besides, even people who hurt others are still part of Source, and why would Source hurt parts of itself if they so-called misbehave? If anything, those parts need love and help, not punishment. That’s why the afterlife is relatively nice even for people who do bad things — souls need some rest and recuperation before reincarnating again, after all.

No, the reason why souls who hurt others in their last life go to a slightly less pleasant place, is because souls want to know what it’s like to be on the other side of that unpleasant experience. By knowing what it’s like to both do something unpleasant, and have that unpleasant thing done to them, they can gain soul growth and greater understanding.

So if Tom does something horrible to Anna in life, then in the afterlife Tom’s soul may experience having that thing done to him, or Tom’s soul can look through the eyes of Anna and feel what it was like for her.

Hence Tom can know what that unpleasant thing is like as both victim and perpetrator. This way, Tom can learn his lesson and complete the circle, you might say. And this isn’t the universe punishing the soul of Tom, this is Tom’s soul actually wanting greater soul growth — souls are more concerned with gaining soul growth than with comfort.

Then once Tom has learned this lesson, he can move up to a nicer afterlife, or reincarnate again. Or if Tom doesn’t learn that lesson, he can also just reincarnate again and perhaps learn his lessons in physical existence.

Your soul isn’t in resistance to you, for example, in your current life hurting people and thereby ending up in a less pleasant place after death. Similarly, your soul isn’t in resistance to you making a deal with a demon and thereby ending up in a significantly less pleasant place after death, which on Earth is often called “selling your soul.” You may be in resistance to that, but your soul is not. To your soul, it’s all just free-will choices, it’s all just existence and experiences. All paths are valid.

To you, ending up in a dark place after your death because you sold your soul seems like an absolute disaster. And sure, I indeed don’t recommend that. Yet to your soul, it just looks like another chapter in a very, very long journey back to Source.

I hope that was interesting. I enjoyed sharing this with you.

In empathy and love,

Your star sister,

Emerelda

Presenting Silver Birch, on the Times We’re In

Presenting Silver Birch, on the Times We’re In

By Steve Beckow

Posted on November 18, 2023

Wendy Zammit asked me to make a book of the works of Silver Birch on this site. I did and said to myself that it probably wouldn’t interest you, our readers. It was geared towards students of the afterlife, I said to myself.

But then I reasoned that it was also a book of prophecy, in which Silver Birch reported what he had heard, seen, and knew about the New World coming. I was interested in that at the time.

But all that disappeared when I revisited the database and changed my mind. Silver Birch is someone worth meeting and listening to on many more topics than just the afterlife.

He has the gentleness of Matthew Ward but the way of presenting truth of SaLuSa.  He has much to offer us, who are in the times he wrote about back in the early to mid-twentieth century.

You hear the same message from him that you hear from our terrestrial, extraterrestrial, and celestial sources, which is a wonderful validation of the message.

For anyone interested in what the tenor of discussion was like in early to mid-twentieth century, this collection is quite representative of its leading edge – British Spiritualists and one of their leading sources, Maurice Barbanell’s “Silver Birch.”

This article is only one element of the book. You’ll find the whole Silver Birch database attached to the downloadable book.

It’s designed as a searchable database. Import it into a word-processing program or turn it into an online, searchable database. Imagine if you had a downloadable, searchable database of Matthew Ward….. Hmmmm….

From “Silver Birch’s New World,”  January 31, 2019, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/01/31/silver-birchs-new-world/

---

You are now in the midst of the crisis. As always happens before there is a birth, there is much pain. The birth of the new order means much pain. Even when the new order comes, there will be growing pains.

But there has been planted in your world a seed that will grow and the efforts of those in high places to destroy the seed will fail. It was said, a long time ago, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” That is going to happen.

There will be many big changes. There will be break-ups and there will be many upheavals. There will be what you think is darkness and difficulty. You will say, “Things are worse.” But, all the time, there is behind it all a power which is making for the progress of the world.

There are many of us who have been allowed by those who are higher and above us to see your world as it will be one day. That conception we try to transmit to those who are receptive, to inspire them to go on with their work. The pictures I have seen make your present world more ugly than it is. I see what it could be like – and what it must be like. It is only a question of time.

One day, there will arise a new race that will recognize that all politics, religion, science and knowledge are part of one thing. (1) Then pain, sorrow, fear, mourning and unhappiness will be banished and your world will be a place of smiles and happy laughter. …

You have tried to build a world where, when one man has something, instead of using it to help the others, he tries to keep it for himself, with the result that in time he makes a system that must collapse because its foundations are wrong.

When you have people who develop their gifts, which all come from the Great Spirit, and use them for the benefit of all the others, then there will be built a system founded on that which is eternal. (2)

You are witnessing the birth of a new order and all around you are the signs that the old world, founded on selfishness, materialism, greed, avarice and cruelty, is dying. You who call yourselves Spiritualists are the custodians of a great truth, for you are the sentries guarding the outposts, helping to forge the new era.

Think of yourselves as soldiers of the Great Spirit, fighting the greatest fight of all, for you are helping to vanquish all the forces that belong to the darkness of man’s ignorance and brought war, misery, chaos and bankruptcy to your world.

You are helping to shape a new world in which all the children of the Great Spirit will share to fulfil the richness of the bounty He has freely given. (3)

I do not care by what name you call the dawn of the new world, but it is the world of the Great Spirit coming into fulfillment, accompanied by His power, and the service of all faithful hearts who seek but to bring new joy, new life, new happiness into the world of matter, so that there shall cease coming into our world the wrecks of yours. (4)

We strive always to reveal the religious significance of spiritual truth for, when your world understands its spiritual import, there will be a revolution mightier than all the revolutions of war and blood.

It will be a revolution of the soul and, all over the world, people will claim what is their due – the right to enjoy to the full the liberties of the spirit. Away will go every restriction which has put fetters on them. (5)

The tide of victory rolls on. The old order dies, giving place to the new. The new world is coming. But do not think that, because of this victory, there will be no more dark places. There will still be much shedding of tears. There will be many aching hearts. There is great sacrifice to be made. (6)

But after the storms and the wind have blown through the world there always comes the new life of the spring. When the snow lies on the ground and all looks very bleak, you are not able to see the freshness of the spring. But it comes.

And gradually, as the great sun of life moves through the heavens of the Great Spirit, so the majesty of life comes to its fullest. Throughout the whole world of matter there is a great cloud of discontent. There will come the spring of dreams and the summer of fulfilment. …

It will come quickly or slowly as the children of the Great Spirit exercise their free will. (7)

Like many others, I have come nearer to the earth vibrations to help push forward that great new world which waits just round the corner. I come to teach you the laws of the Great Spirit and to show you how, if you live according to them, the bounty of the Great Spirit can be poured into your hearts and minds. (8)

The New World is born, born in agony of birth, with a baptism of tears and misery and sadness. But the New World is here. Its rays are beginning to pierce the fog of your world. But even in this New World all will not have been achieved. There will be plenty to remedy, to improve, to strengthen. There will still be weakness to be overcome, there will still be troubles to be eradicated.

But there will be a new basis for life. Much of the needless misery, much of the needless deprivation, much of the needless starvation and sadness will have gone. The basis of life will be changed, for gradually selfishness will be overthrown and service will reign in its place.

The New World will come more quickly or more slowly, as more of you help us or hinder us in our efforts to co-operate with you. You will not get more than you deserve or less than you deserve, for so perfect is natural law in its expression that its scales are always evenly balanced. They are weighted down neither on one side nor the other.

I tell you of conditions that are operating and, as they continue to operate, what will be changed. Do not forget that you will reap in your world the harvest of countless generations of labour wrought by many pioneers, idealists and reformers, who made sacrifices to advance the lot of mankind. (9)

We are striving always to teach the children of matter how to be free and how to bask in the sunlight of spiritual truth, how to cast off the serfdom of creedal slavery. That is not an easy task, for once the trappings of religion have mastered you, it takes a long time for spiritual truth to penetrate that thick wall of superstition.

We strive always to reveal the religious significance of spiritual truth, for when your world understands its spiritual import there will be a revolution mightier than all the revolutions of war and blood.

It will be a revolution of the soul and, all over the world, people will claim what is their due – the right to enjoy to the full the liberties of the spirit. Away will go every restriction which has put fetters on them.

Our allegiance is not to a Creed, not to a Book, not to a Church, but to the Great Spirit of life and to His eternal natural laws.

A great power of the spirit will descend into your world of matter. In all its countries a mighty force of the spirit will be felt, for there is a great work to be done to counteract the selfishness and the ignorance of your world. In time it will conquer, but, in the process, there will be much travail.

Plenty of workers have come to take their stand at your side. There are those who are known to you, those who are bound to you with ties of blood and others who are attracted to serve you out of the love that they bear for you. When you think of those whose names you know, try to realise the countless host of the unknown, who serve without any desire to be known or recognised but who give their power to be used.

The world will not be converted in a blinding flash like Saul on the road to Damascus. Gradually, the light of spiritual truths will break through, as more people become aware of the great knowledge and more instruments are available for the power of the Great White Spirit to use. You must remember that the things of the / spirit require careful nurture and progress. Sudden conversions would not be enduring, and our work is intended to be permanent.

Each soul that becomes an instrument for the Great Spirit, each soul that moves out of darkness into the light, out of ignorance into knowledge, out of superstition into truth, is helping to advance the world, for each one of these is a nail that is driven into the coffin of the world’s materialism.

Bent Twigs Incline Trees

Bent Twigs Incline Trees

by Steve Beckow

Posted on July 26, 2023

 

When I look back on the differences between my father’s WWII generation and my own, their Depression and then their war experiences seem to have colored their demeanor.

Disciplined, cooperative, focused on a goal that everyone could get behind, they loved nothing more than to get together after work and cajole and reminisce.

They swaggered and lived in their stories. As far as they were concerned, what they achieved in the war was the pinnacle of their lives.

And it may very well have been.

And I don’t blame them. My Dad risked his life every day in the belly of a ship. No chance for survival if a torpedo hit.

What they knew about relationship they learned from the boys or from the services.

At night, I’d hear all the other boys on the block getting whacked by their sergeant-majors … uhhh, fathers. How could men who fought for liberty come home and enforce their will upon their children? That always escaped me.

They didn’t seem concerned with the Big Questions. They seemed just to want to live and enjoy life. The American Dream was born.

***

I’d have to leave it to someone else to describe some of the traits of my own generation, the boomers. Whatever I said about it would be heavily self-serving.

By the time historians turn to it, it won’t be necessary. We’ll have devices that will allow us to view historic events as they happened. (They already exist on the astral planes.) (1)

What did I learn from all that? I came out in favor of the underdog. I learned to respect free will. And I resolved that I was going to stop the intergenerational transfer of atrocious qualities (Michael calls them “learned lineage behaviours”) (2)  in my family.

Emergence from plotting, manipulating, and enforcing was my aim growing up. Fortunately at the same time I was emerging, we had the growth movement. I was able to benefit from encounter groups, est Trainings, and enlightenment intensives to expedite that process.

***

It wasn’t until I saw the purpose of life, on Feb. 13, 1987, (3) and came to know what love is, on March 13, 2015, (4) that all the suffering in our lives began to make sense to me.

With the vision of the purpose of life, I now knew where all this was going, where it was not going, and what my task in relation to it was.

The purpose? We travel from God to God for a fateful meeting. When we realize ourselves, God meets God. And for that meeting was all of this made.

My job is to do what I just did: Write about it!

With the heart opening, I had a taste of what awaited us at journey’s end. Just a hint. I see a Walt Disney chef flashing the OK sign and saying, between two fingers, “A soupçon!”

I’ve said repeatedly that my life started at that moment.  Think Scrooge on Christmas Day!  I got it! I got it! THIS is what we’re all looking for! And all we want to do when we find it is share it.

When I look back and ask myself, why all the suffering? I recall the story of the owner of the Hard Rock Cafe, asking his guru why it was necessary for him to suffer so many deaths in his family. The guru answered, “To open your heart.”

OK, I get that too. And it did. Hopefully it opened it enough to turn me into a useful humanitarian philanthropist.

***

Whenever I feel that love, my qualms and complaints disappear in an instant. But I’m weeping now when I look back on all my fumbling efforts, angry behavior, disappointment, and insularity.

All because of my wrong choices when growing up in the war zone my early family was. Vasanas (core issues) – bent twigs incline trees…. (5)

When I finish forgiving the outside world for imagined wrongs, I’ll have much to forgive in myself.

(1) All the quotes that follow are available in New Maps of Heaven at https://goldengaiadb.com/index.php?title=New_Maps_of_Heaven.

This is just one type of museum exhibit in the Higher Summerlands, Astral Planes:

“At length a blue mist began to fill the central space. Then a ray of light swept round the hall and rested on the globe which represented the earth. As it hovered about it the sphere appeared to absorb the ray and became luminous, and, after a time, the ray being withdrawn, we saw the earth globe was shining as if from within. Then another ray was sent on to it of a deeper and different kind and the globe slowly left the pedestal, or pivot, or whatever it rested on and began to float out from the wall.

“As it approached the centre of the space it entered the blue mist and immediately on contact began to enlarge until it became a great sphere glowing with its own light and floating in the blue space. It was exceedingly beautiful. Slowly, very slowly, it revolved on its own axis, evidently in the same way the earth does and we were able to see the oceans and continents. These were flat patterns, like those on the terrestrial globes used on earth. But as it revolved they began to assume a different aspect.

“The mountains and hills began to stand out and the waters to sway and ripple: and presently we saw minute models of the cities, and even details of the buildings. And still more detailed grew the model of the earth till we could see the people themselves, first the crowds and then the individuals. This will be hard for you to understand, that on a globe of some perhaps eighty to a hundred feet in diameter we are able to see individual men and animals. But that is part of the science of this institution – the enabling of these details being seen individually.

“Still more distinct grew these wonderful scenes, and, as the globe revolved, we saw men hurrying about the cities and working in the fields. We saw the wide spaces of prairie and desert and forest and the animals roaming in them. And as the globe slowly circled we saw the oceans and the seas, some placid and the others tossing and roaring, and here and there a ship. And all the life of earth passed before our eyes….

“Soon the scenes began to change on the revolving sphere and we were taken back thousands of years of the life of the earth and the generations of men and animals and plant life which had been from the present to the ages when men were just emerging from the forest to settle in colonies on the plains. … When we had satisfied our eyes for a while, the globe gradually became smaller and smaller and floated back to the niche in the wall and then the light faded out from it and it looked like an alabaster carving, just as we had seen it at first, set there as an ornament.” (The mother of G. Vale Owen quoted in Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding, Many Mansions. (London, etc.: Rider and Co., n.d. , 57-9.)

In the libraries are books by famous people, in which they correct earthly accounts and say what really happened. Monsignor Hugh Benson tells us that:

“The histories of nations and events [are there], with the facts set down in strict accordance with the absolute truth written by men who now find that equivocation is impossible.” (Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson through Anthony Borgia, medium, Life in the World Unseen. M.A.P., 1993, 118.)

“The reader would be able to gain, for the first time, the truth about the history of his country. Every word contained in these books was the literal truth, Concealment is impossible, because nothing but truth can enter these realms.” (Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, ibid., 47.)

Their books are not like ours; theirs “come alive,” Monsignor Benson explains.

“The books thus produced are not dead things that require a concentration of the whole mind upon them. They live just as much as the paintings we saw were living. To pick up a book and begin reading it meant also to perceive with the mind, in a way not possible on earth, the whole story as it was being told, whether it be history or science, or the arts. The book, once taken in hand by the reader, instantly responds, in very much the same way as the flowers respond when one approaches close to them. The purpose is different of course.” (Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, ibid., 49-50.)

Rev. Mattson tells us:

“The time comes when you no longer want to go around in a regular library and get information in this way. Your own thinking and your own progress give you a desire to get information a quicker way. We can then go to memory-bank reference libraries, which contain records of everything that has ever happened.” (Ruth Mattson Taylor, ed., Witness from Beyond. New Cosmic Concepts on Death and Survival from the Late A.D. Mattson, S.T.D., through the Clairvoyant Margaret Flavell Tweddell. Portland, ME: Foreword Books, 1975, 86.)

(2) The whole quotation is noteworthy:

AAM: You fall into reactive, shall we say, learned lineage behaviours.

But even underneath that is that what you are truly afraid of is a deeper level of intimacy, a deeper level of exposure of your sacred self, of your heart, of your feelings.

So there is some fear and there is some defensiveness, self defence enough in this reactivity. So what you have done is you have allowed some old patterns, learned from your parents, to come to distract you from these fears.

And so what you do is you bring your attention to, “Oh, I don’t want to behave that way!” And you bring your attention to resolving that issue rather than looking at the underlying one which is truly the fear of greater intimacy and in that greater intimacy, the greater knowing and connection to your heart, to your being, to your purpose and to who you are.
 (AAM, March 28, 2018.)

Kingdom Come

Kingdom Come

By Steve Beckow

Posted on June 28, 2023

 

All the world’s religions have an idea of higher dimensionality, if even just a vague idea such as “heaven,” “kingdom come,” or “the afterlife.”

After the vision I had in 1987 – which was wordless – I had to find words to describe the transdimensional realities I’d just seen. (1)  What I’d seen went way beyond the existing models of enlightenment I was familiar with. The dimensional world was just one “isolated” part of it.

My vision did not show me what was happening internally for the little golden star; only the outward stages of its journey.

Always one of the features of the search that I noticed was that it was goal-oriented.

There was a starting place and there was a finishing place.

The starting place was God. And the finishing place was … God.  We travel on a sacred arc from God to God through innumerable lifetimes in a world of matter, mater, Mother.

***

Another feature of what I found: When we move from the starting place to the finish, life gets progressively better.

I expect to find that the biggest leap in improvement is between the 3rd and 5th dimensions.  The improvement lies in the experience of love.

A third feature: No matter what I saw or didn’t see, “I” persisted. I could go to sleep but “I” wakes up when … errr, I … awaken. It’s confusing.

But what’s not confusing is that “I” persist.

I’ve been outside my body. “I” persisted. My body was on hold. Excuse me? What? I said my body did not keep going, like a car without a driver.

That body could be smashed to smithereens and I’ll bet … I’d persist. Not like I’ll test out that theory.

Interesting, isn’t it?

***

The destination turns out to hinge on what we know about this “I.” The whole drama revolves around it. (2)

This was not directly communicated by my vision. My vision only showed a single soul, born from God, going out into the world, as Jesus said, and then realizing itself (God meets God), and returning to the Father.

Returning to the Father, as far as I knew and as far as any enlightened master I ever read knew, was the end of the journey. Period. Full stop.

That was 1987. Since 2011 – and the readings with Michael and the Mother and the radio shows (3) – I’ve learned that the end of my vision is not the end of the story for individuals. The Mother and Michael explain:

Divine Mother: Now, in this journey — for some of you it is millennia, for some of you it is eons; it matters not — there is a drive and an understanding, an intellectual and spiritual understanding that your drive is to make the U-turn and to come back Home, to return Home to the Heart of One where you are so welcome until such time as you choose to emanate again. (4)

Emanate again?

Steve Beckow: Now, Mother, you have just referred to you bringing them back. You’ve just referred to mergence have you not, or union?  And you’re saying that after they return in union, they go back out into the world. Is that correct?

Divine Mother: Yes. If they so choose, yes. Now, is it in the timeline that human beings tend to think of? No. But eventually there is re-emergence. (5)

Michael adds more detail:

Archangel Michael: When you go home, and you can reunite in the Heart of of One, do not think that you go off on another tangent or another journey simply because you feel like it or because you are earning your way back to that linear path. You go back out into the universe as a brilliant spark of pure light!

So you come, you return, you gain not only understanding, wisdom, knowledge – what you can think of as spiritual regeneration – and then, in concert with many, including your guides and guardian angels and, many times, whoever you are going to be working with – for example, myself or Archangel Raphael – you emerge again. (6)

Among the notions of what constitutes “the end,” I prefer the idea that we end up in the lap of Mother/Father One and then, when ready, come back out into the world again.

I’m going to hold this view of reality until I need to let go of it as well. Say, next year.

***

If this lifetime were about enlightenment, which it is not for me, I’d cite St. John of the Cross here:

Without a foothold you must seek Him out-

no face nor form, alone –

tasting there something I dont know

that one may come on randomly. (7)

All my theories will have to go. “Without a foothold you must seek him out.”

Or Lao Tzu:

“The Way is gained by daily loss,

Loss upon loss until

At last comes rest.

“By letting go, it all gets done;

The world is won by those who let it go!

But when you try and try,

The world is then beyond the winning.” (8)

Let go, let go, let go. Even of trying.

Ah well. I’m a servant this lifetime and need to stay conscious of this unreal world.

Sometimes I think the apt mantra for a servant is hold on, hold on, hold on.

Why Many Are Leaving the Planet

Why Many Are Leaving the Planet

By The Masters of the Cosmic Council

In 2023, many people are coming to the crossroads in their soul contracts. Life on Earth has become very difficult for many and there has been an unprecedented number of people passing into the light in recent times. Why is this happening?

There are many reasons why so many people are dying.

For some, it is simply time. Their bodies are old and their time on Earth has come to an end. Others have become so disillusioned that they have taken their own lives, unable to see a way forward out of the darkness that surrounds them. There are many souls whose karmic contracts are being completed, or karma has been inflicted upon them, creating another cycle of incarnation. Or the dense vibrations upon Earth have created so much trauma that their essence has been corrupted and they have become too sick to continue. Higher souls are offered death doors every 5 years or so to allow them a choice as to whether they continue on their human path or leave to follow higher pursuits in the afterlife.

It has been a particularly challenging period for many, a lot of whom have chosen to leave on their own terms, leaving their families in shock and grief. Our love shines down on everyone who is mourning loved ones. Whatever the reason, death is always a choice and is a right that must be respected, even though it leaves many people grieving in its wake.

There are many levels to the spirit world, and those who take their own life will find themselves in the same holding pattern they were in when alive. This is to be expected, as one cannot suddenly become positive in spirit if the soul was weighed down by earthly concerns. It is not an easy choice to make, neither is it an easy way out. However, there is no judgement from the Creator and help is always available when the soul asks for it.

Many who have exited life earlier than their soul had chosen are masters whose work has been completed. If the work is done, there is no time to be wasted in a human body when much more can be achieved from the etheric planes where only love exists. In these cases, the soul family calls us home to continue the journey towards mastery and enlightenment.

Master’s may choose to reincarnate again, but many will not. They will continue to work with their soul family, who may not necessarily have been their human family, to bring the Earth to ascension. The more souls who step into their mastery the better, because masters observe rather than participate; they guide rather than invest and they lead by shining example, sometimes sacrificing their energy for the greater good. In the energy of Source, sacrifice is not required at all leading the soul to require greater healing upon etheric return.

As the energy on Earth becomes denser, more hostile. turbulent and challenging, many more people will find themselves at a crossroad where choices may seem limited or even no longer existent. We urge all humans to connect to their soul-song and to see advice from their higher self and guides.

Terrible tragedies leave scars on the imprint of the soul that could be carried on into the next incarnation. This can happen both to victims and ones left behind. Trauma is extremely hard to lift, more so when the story is embedded with violence, abandonment and grief. If you are finding life unbearable, seek help. Spiritual, meditative practices have never been more important right now as the human race becomes more agitated and under pressure from all angles. Speak up and remember that you are never alone. Ask for help for your highest and best and we will send help in the best form. Life is meant to be a gift, not a curse. Do not allow the weight of your trauma to blind you to the possibilities for a resolution.

However, you can, work to finding peace within, Dear Hearts. It’s the only way to prevent your inner and outer world from imploding.

WE ARE ever with you.

The masters of the Cosmic Council.

About Victoria Cochrane

In 2019 I was honoured to be named the Tasmanian Psychic Expos’ Psychic of the Year!

Story

My spiritual journey began only six years ago when I began to smell smoke all around me, even though neither my husband nor I smoke! I worked out that it must be my maternal grandfather, who had died 26 years ago of emphysema. After visiting two psychics, I finally received his message, which was about salary sacrificing. That made sense, as he was a chartered accountant. He then began to teach me how to channel, answering my thoughts with his own.
