Communicating with Helpers

and

Addressing Angels and Masters

Lecture based Questions:

1. Exercise: The Simple Heart

It is all right to feel emotion at this time and sometimes it is difficult to set aside worry about your question. The point of this exercise is to quest for the truth so that your perspective and your approach will change.

A. Remember how you felt as a child in solitude, and how the world was a presence around you. Create a quiet mind to do this.

B. In Stillness, find out who is trying to help you at this time. Only a short moment of receptivity is needed for this. Rise above your inner dialogue and maintain a feeling of expectancy. Stillness is a preamble to prayer. Realize that there is always someone to help and advise you.

C. Formulate your question into one clear thought. The answer will come through as a complete thought before you have finished. Once the answer comes to you, you may stop thinking about the question.

2. Why are we surrounded by such a great company of Angels and Helpers and Teachers?

Your Mental Body and Soul Body are always in contact with Teachers and angels. We are designed to interplay within the Network of Light. This means that we all uplift each other. We help those who need more support.

If you believe that you have accomplished anything on your own, you are in danger of falling into a prideful attitude. Every person—human or animal or tree or fungus or bacterium—always will be helped and supported by Light Wielders. Accomplishing and learning in the company of friends always makes an experience lighter and more fun. Helping and sharing has the benefit of exponentially increasing Light activity on our planet and in turn in the universe.. It deepens the meaning to anything we do.

3. Name the chain of communication that takes place in your Bodies as you communicate with:

A. Your Guardian Angel: If she is sending you information, she creates a temporary Mental Body for herself. The native dimension for angels is the sixth (Soul) dimension, and they rarely go slumming below the highest level of the fifth dimension. Her Mental Body generates a thought form of the message. It lodges in your Mental Body aura, where it gathers matter and drops into your Astral aura. There it hits your consciousness-awareness =brain. You experience it as a still, small voice while your Mental Body assimilates it. When you dialogue to your GA, your physical brain and Astral Body create a thought form that she perceives immediately. Angels speak in whole thoughts, concepts, with a sense of gestalt encompassing the situation.

B. Your other Helpers and Friends: Usually, they inhabit the Mental or Astral Planes. For instance, a spirit guide who isn’t yet an adept or expert would be contacting you through your Astral or Mental Body. Their communication is “louder” than an angel’s. It is also more verbal, using short sentences and phrases. They usually stimulate some physical sensation while contacting you, as they are conferring with Astral Body, which has a direct impact on your physical endocrine system.

C. A Teacher or Master: These usually communicate with your Mental Body. You feel very stimulated and energized toward a goal. Sometimes we process these Mental Body infusions as dreams, visions, and messages that are just at the tip of our minds but are yet inaccessible to the conscious thought.

You might establish a meditative rapport with a Master or a Teacher, such as when you might be trying to heal or diagnose a client. You would feel the Master’s greeting (not a “hello” but a change in feeling) and then the guidance would enter your physical mind. Each Master accesses a different plexus in the brain. Master G sends a picture of his face squarely straight in front of you. He accesses the right side of the head, so you would feel slight pressure on front right part of your forehead.

4. Is there any time or occasion when we are without support or guidance?

Open Key periods (beginning roughly at fifty-two days before your birthday) are times in which you need to ask for help. Here your Teachers and angels must step back and watch. You are being monitored for your reactions to adversity, your willingness to reach out, and your sense of resiliency. During this season, the calcification of the personality is removed. Persistence in the face of hopelessness creates a great deal of energy and power.

The bottom line is simple: we are always one question away from help and support. We are never alone. We are never without friends and loved ones. We are constantly surrounded by the attentions of loving and interested Teachers and guides. People who love us are always sending us blessings and good thoughts.

5. What is the best way to address a Master or receive information from her/him?

First of all, no tourists are allowed. Idle curiosity is not answered. Experimenting to see how far you can get is not welcomed. Sincere inquiry is the attitude that you want to have for connecting to the answers.

When you are first getting the hang of this, don’t listen to music or have entertainment going in the room, as it distracts your mind from your intention. Do not address a specific Master, but ask “is there anyone interested in my problem?” Any Master can help you. The best way to receive information is to sincerely desire to know the truth. Every teacher has a Signature Essence that helps you to identify him/her.

Nobody has claim over any one personal Master. A Master chooses you when you feel intrigued to learn and practice some wisdom that is her/his avocation. Some humans attract the attention of a teaching Master because this person is working in the area of the Master’s special project or interest. Our Mental Bodies are attending classes or schools most of the time. Each of these schools are sponsored by a Master and usually taught by a Master’s Adept.

6. What would prevent my contacting a Master?

There are certain attitudes and emotional habits that a Master will not suffer, as these waste time and prevent focus and receptivity. Self-denigration or false humility are frowned upon or reprimanded. Effusive awe in the presence of a teacher is much like being a groupie to a rock star; this sort of behavior puts off real contact until the student can display sober wisdom and attentiveness. A person who displays a clinging tendency is kept at a distance by Teachers until the student meets the challenges of correct self-esteem and peace with the self. Territorial feelings cut off the student’s ability to receive higher frequencies of communication.

Pride in one’s perceived strength and skill show a need to cleanse the aura; this attitude will not exclude the influence of a Master, but will postpone more advanced learning as the student has to clean house with the identity before moving upward. Along a similar vein, exclusive feelings create all kinds of barriers to inspiration and Teachers. Feeling superior to others surrounds the person’s aura with a crusty coating that prevents Light from entering. Separating oneself from any other group of life form surrounds the Astral Body in a murky cloud that needs to be evaporated by enlightenment (your Guardian Angel and your Awakener Angel do this). A bad manicure can cause interference—no, that one is a joke! Just checking to see if you are still awake.

Being star-struck by power and knowledge will attract teachers, but not the kind you are thinking about. Dark princes and mischief-makers are always looking for the power-hungry. They like to manipulate these would-be students. Ambitious students easily sell out ethically for a low reward.

7. Draw or describe one of your helpers.

You know what to do.

Let Me Take Pride in Nothing

And Feel Grateful for Everything.

Within the confines of the physical incarnation, our ability to perceive the help of Higher Ones is limited by one’s ability to receive. The receptive nature is physically housed in the right side of the brain and is expressed on the left side of the body. Not only is this process dependent on a certain frame of mind, but also is needed a quietness of feeling and a sense of trust or what you call faith. No miracle can occur through a barrier. This is often why people have to reach the bottom of their despair and have nothing left to lose before they can find that sacred tendril of Light to hold on to and claim as The Way.

No person can come unto a Master or an Angel until there is a tiny peephole of sincerity in his or her mind. We do not expect a perfect attitude or a well disciplined lifestyle. If we waited for this, nothing would likely happen in the way of communication. All that is required is some point of focus that is without personal gain or agenda—some moment of clarity that has a sincere desire for truth and transformation.

The greatest traps are the ones that exist here on the physical level. There are very many levels of pride and so many layers of desire that are subtle and intricate. One cannot even perceive them until she or he has passed through and out of one of these attitudes. Self Esteem is vital to a person’s mental and emotional health, and this is directly connected to the self-image of the Soul. Identity is another issue altogether, and can often lead one down a trail of despair and confusion when one’s identity does not harmonize with his surroundings. It is better to have no sense of self-value-function, but rather to feel as though one were the vital and essential spark of life and energy in the great network of the universe.

A child does not feel connected to life because he or she is immature. This sensation is remaining from the higher worlds before the cloud of darkness and negativity have completely enveloped the lower astral body-consciousness. Darkness is contagious, and we collect most of what we have from our parents, family, and community. Let us through meditation reinstate that feeling of simple connectedness, for that is the best way to remain in constant contact with Divinity, insomuch as one can on the physical level.

The fallacy that there is only one Master interested in any given individual must not persist. All Masters wish to help and instruct anyone who will not be a name-dropper, a prideful hanger-on. We need an endless number of sincere and helpful persons to be channels of the truth in our world.
