Discerning Possible Futures

Lecture based Questions:

1. What question is most frequently asked of a Clairvoyant or Psychic?

“Will I meet my Soul Mate?” or “Is this my Soul Mate?” Pretty much, all the men who have come to me for psychic advice ask that question or something of that meaning. I believe that this is because men feel that they have a fairly good handle on career choice and other worldly matters. When it comes to love, their confidence is less strong. Women only ask this question about 70 percent of the time. They seem to have other areas of life that need further validation or guidance.

What is the second?

Money concerns are the second most frequently discussed topic. Often, someone will inquire about winning a lottery or a sweepstakes. People often view money as a gift divinely bestowed on the lucky few. In a way this is true. However it is best to view money as an energy that flows to us. Do not limit its sources and welcome it with a relaxed attitude.

What is the third?

People come to psychics for their health issues from a variety of motivations. Some of them wish to validate their convictions that there is no hope for recovery.Others hold an unspoken hope that there are answers for good health that lie beyond their physical symptoms and chemical treatments. Some of them genuinely seek relief from symptoms and the spiritual or psychological sources of their suffering. We may relieve the physical symptoms with medical knowledge, but permanent healing only takes place at an emotional (astral) level.

What is the fourth:

“What is my purpose in life?” or “Which career should I choose?” We each are born with the knowledge of the career that would give us joy, but our parents and society usually intimidate it out of us. Patience and focus are required to return to that point of truth. Some people like to think that they must be famous or powerful to make their lives valuable. Sometimes, the real clues for purpose lie in the little everyday moments that exasperate us. Most of the time, what seems to be the problem is actually a vital part of the solution.

2. Considering these four main worries in physical life, let’s review the four elements of a perfect life in Divine Mind and the correlating necessary points of Mastery:

When we have achieved the Fifth Degree of Initiation (Masterhood), we will have achieved the following in any aspect of life and existence.

•Sweet Love without Bitterness

•Infinite Abundance and Wealth

•Perfect, Vibrant Good Health and Youthfulness

•Satisfaction & Fulfillment through Self-Expression

Which is more important—the goal of achieving the perfect life, or the ways in which we achieve them? Why?

The journey is more important than the destination. This is the reason we are here—to accumulate a unique series of experiences that make each of us different from everyone else. We acquire a point of view that is special in all the universe, and this contributes to the power and effectiveness of the Network of Light—the living connection of life in which we all participate.

3. Describe the three types of possible futures that can be revealed.

We can discern between the following types of choices by their emotional content, purpose, and effect.

Every possible future depends on what we chose right now. Every word, every action create new combinations of future situations.

In meditation, visualize a golden thread from the heart chakra extending outward into the future as you inquire about a specific alternative.

•Karmic choices

These are always learning situations. Emotional angst can be felt in the solar plexus when faced with such a dilemma, the mythological counterpart being Scylla and Charybdis. In such a predicament, one is always faced with a simple yes-no decision. Karma is paid off by either path. The choice will either validate the self-image or change it (for better or for worse). Also, the feeling of compunction is present—in Irish fairy tales this was best described in terms of a Geas, which was a form of assignment placed on a hero by a supernatural being. However, the choice is to learn the lesson now or later.

When making such a decision, it is important to remember that fear makes bad choices. Our best paths are taken when we ignore pressure and allow our ideals to create success.

•Key Life Path choices

These are karmically neutral. They are hallmarked by great emotional energy and a feeling of being squeezed. The issues involved will be self-expression, work, or location. These windows of opportunity were designed between you and your Kindel Archangel during the session in which you planned this particular incarnation.

The choices can range between family / fulfillment, or fame / privacy. The best answer is felt in the heart.

•Astral Healing choices

Whenever we suffer traumas, the astral body becomes wounded and does not heal itself as a matter of course. Over a few lifetimes, a person’s astral body can look like it has walked through a mine field, because of its collection of holes, maimings, and dark spots. These manifest in our physical bodies as injuries and illnesses.

Every illness has a spiritual cause and a biological answer. We are looking forward to the day when surgery will become unnecessary. Until then, we know that we can treat the physical symptoms and then effect permanent change through affirmations, meditation, and prayer.

Choices that heal the astral body are nurturing and gather energy around us. Affirmations that make us laugh will stick in the subconscious mind easier and affect change sooner. The following are required for healing the astral body.

1)Acknowledge that you need healing.

2)Acknowledge that you cannot fix yourself alone.

3)Thank God for healing you, and let God lead the way.

4)Follow the lead.

4.Exercise: Perceiving and Accepting the Divine Design

Any meditation is optimized when preceded by the Three Breaths of Cleansing, Healing, and Renewal.

•First, visualize yourself in a golden palace that is low in maintenance and high in comfort, beauty, and convenience. What deficiencies in your personal expectations are preventing this from manifesting? The sources of our illusions are of no consequence. The changes depend on us.

Affirmation: “Let me now express the Divine Idea in my mind. Give me a definite lead; let me know if there is something for me to do.”

•Second, visualize yourself in a body that is youthful, attractive, healthy, energetic, and strong. What deficiencies in your personal expectations are preventing this from manifesting?

Affirmation: “Let me now express the Divine Idea in my body. Give me a definite lead; let me know if there is something for me to do.”

•Third, visualize yourself in a career that brings you delight, gives you a joyful reason to get up in the morning, earns you an immense income, suits your time preferences, and leads you to many interesting projects. What deficiencies in your expectations are preventing this from manifesting?

Affirmation: “Let me now express the Divine Idea in my affairs. Give me a definite lead; let me know if there is something for me to do.”

•Fourth, visualize yourself in a loving relationship that is mutually satisfying, supportive, loyal, fearless, content and deepening. What personal expectations are preventing this from manifesting?

Affirmation: “I am one with God, the Undivided One. I am one with my undivided love and my undivided happiness. Let me now express the Divine Idea in my love. Give me a definite lead; let me know what to do.”

5. Scrying Exercise: Western Astrology

Divided into groups of twelve zodiac traits and ten ruling planets the solar years and hours of a day construct a profile of personality interests and expected behaviors. The nodes, great stars, and recent planetary additions have changed the art of chart progressions over the years, but not the basic principles. By tracking present planetary activity, we are able to predict certain trends in global behavior and in subconscious mind activity.

All astrological systems are systems of the physical body—not the soul. The astral body manifests the conditions for the right birth place, time, and family. These are encoded into the life graph created by the Kindel Archangel. Everything moves much faster in the astral world, and our meetings with our Kindel Archangels can take place in what would seem to be a relatively short physical time prior to conception, but on the astral dimension seem to be long sessions of well-detailed planning.

6. Why and how does this work? What would be the most appropriate use of this technique?

The planets and their positions relative to earth affect the magnetic fields of all physical bodies. We are electromagnetic beings, and the moment that the lungs unfurl with the first infant breath, the body is imprinted with a special magnetic pattern. Astrological charts help us to decipher the magnetic design and what it can mean in daily life.

Family members, whether connected by blood or not, share distinct astrological aspects. This seems to show that we have karmic connections to family members that go beyond society and genetic memory.

The older we become as souls, the more we can create change and energy in our lives. This means that astrological charts have less and less of a connection to our energies. An astrologer would not be able to accurately predict an old soul’s life events as easily as he/she would for a young soul.

7. Draw or describe one of your helpers.

Every day, every moment, someone is loving you and helping you. Choose one of your hundreds of helpers, meditate on that one, and record your impressions.

Into the Aquarian Age

For the past two thousand years we have experienced a development of emotional maturity and connectedness, the hallmark of the Piscean Age. We could say that the material world became integrated to an extent with the astral world on a global level. We can expect this impetus to continue until the early 2020’s when the dynamics shift into the Aquarian Age.

The leading drive for the next age is mental activity integrated with what we have learned through our emotional challenges. Not all the keynotes have been chosen nor the heroes in the scenarios that will mark the change. We can certainly expect certain trends, however. Those who resent change will create problems for the rest of us. We are not to resist their impositions, but rather to trust in the flow of events and to maintain the spiritual centeredness that we are developing now. To paraphrase an ancient Chinese saying, the first two hundred years will be interesting times.

The spreading of mystical teaching will continue (as it ever has) along the peripheries of mainstream society. The new generations of children will have their individuals to carry the truth and pass it along. Even now, we see the media integrating high values along with the ordinary impulses of drama and instinct.

Certain lifestyle improvements will manifest during the coming millennium. The Chohi have already spun into motion several creative movements for life on earth. Technological advances will accelerate tremendously during the next fifteen years. Understanding of the environment and human presence within it will become less of a moral issue and more of a factually based relationship during the next eighty years. All these trends aside, the hormonal and instinctive natures in humanity will still be the challenge. How we use our technology will depend on our levels of consciousness (as it has always been).

We can expect new types of religion to spring up during the first hundred years of the next millennium. Those who do the true work of Light will be quiet and strong. Their value on spiritual levels will not gain momentum until long after they have left this physical world.

The Tides of Light and Power Continue

Everything on Earth takes place in the order appointed to it by the Sanat Kumara. Time is not a concern, nor the order in which certain changeable events occur. What is important within this structured plan is the way in which certain lives interact and influence each other. Each helps the other to achieve greatness in consciousness. The best of us lead and draw the rest of us forward as the equation of life continues to unfold and complete the combination of events for each momentous era of Light.

All lives intertwine, from the intelligence of an atomic particle to the vast consciousness of a Logos. There is none so small or insignificant as to not hold a key position for this plan. Bacteria are as integral as human activity to the whole work. Each individual carries the seed atom that completes the pieces of the puzzle in this great and convoluted work of The Planetary Logos. When the task is completed, we all will have learned to trust the Divine Order, and we will be firm in our own correct pathways.

This is the machinery that drives us in our physical activity. The body is imbued with certain needs that must be answered and attended. The needs are basic, but they are attached to higher goals that have been keyed into the Life Graph. The purpose of this is to teach young souls through repetitious experience the nature of energy cause and effect. Older souls are on a secondary mission—learning the ways of responsibility through mental focus. Throughout the history of a person’s many lifetimes, the underlying current of testing continues in the same vein. It is this: despite misfortune and emotional challenges, The Way must be adhered to; despite good fortune and emotional blessings, The Way must be kept. The issue is not that the ends might or might not justify the means (nor that the motivation might be noble despite the behavior)—the means is the only issue. The Way is the only reality and all else is the illusion. There is no goal so important nor any cause so noble that a person can justify deviating from The Way in pursuit of such a prize. It is in following The Way that we gain strength and power, and the wisdom to perfect them.

We are not perfect beings and are not expected to behave perfectly. So be patient with yourself. The choices that keep us aligned in Light are many and small in the course of a day. They can be as quick and tiny as the emotional reaction to a red traffic light, or a long wait in a cashier’s line. They can be as subtle as which priorities we apply to our hours at home. Sometimes we feel the pressure to make these choices before we have had time to comprehend their full significance. All these things become more clear with experience. Forgiveness and patience begins with the self and moves outward to others.

I have faith in the rightness of the day.

I believe in the miracles ordained for my way.

I believe in God’s perfect timing,

All day, every day.

Thank you God, for this easy day.
