Do you believe there is value in suffering?

The lives people experience in “unfree” countries is something all students should be aware of; somewhat comparable, is a life of no money and mental illness, is a concept other children cannot imagine (my early life). There is the expression “What does not kill you, makes you stronger”, I believe in this. I know it does not work for everyone, and children should not have to experience bad things, but they should be made aware.

The only value of suffering, if there is one, is to have the awareness, and if “you” are in the position, help others less fortunate than you.

i agree our attention should stay focused on the lighter side of life —
what we give our attention to we give energy to –

i tried to spin this to reflect that our choices affect the outcome.
we can either see the good or the bad – our choice.

very dramatic photos by the way —

There are two types of suffering in this world, the type that leads to death and the type that leads to greater strength.   We are as you say fortunate that we have the chance to suffer in a mental capacity.

Who took that first picture and why didn’t they offer the kid a cheeseburger, by the way, that’s what I want to know.

The Earth, is indeed a “living library”, Asteri.

Knowledge is the gift-full key to our richness of nourishment at hand.
This video is such a most beautiful treasure to share….and the pictures of children of prey, are my deep rooted strength of hands together, as we now pray for the povish of peoples in need.

Gratitude’s to you my love, of such a cherished moment of deep concern and of the most amazing divine light we can grow into; affiliate ourselves to - and to make this journey of ours a better home for all.

God Speed….(((HUGS)))

When people from “unfree” countries and people in free society are asked to define “freedom” their answers starts with “freedom from” and “freedom to”.  A lot of people work hard and suffer to attain a certain kind of freedom that others take for granted.

Thank you for this great answer Lili.
Samme 

Lili, it touched me so greatly to see you express your truth with such gratitude and maturity. When one has lived through real hardship which is imposed, where the choice is not even available, it’s so difficult to believe the option by many to not live a life of happiness firstly, and to not attempt to relieve the suffering of others consciously.

The ‘cheeseburger’ comment is so typical of the casual responses one gets from Western ‘leaders’ that I continue to shake my head at the grim, un-funny non-superficially giggling reality, that has to come into being to overcome these tremendous, real [as opposed to ego-driven, imagined] problems.

God bless us all.

And God bless you for doing your best to make it real in what limited space you have any influence in. Your gratitude for life is refreshing and your obvious strength of character inspring.

Thank you, dear friend.

Continued blessings to you.

Love.

Sherri

Hello Asteri, well said my friend, loud and clear with freedom, to those who choose to listen.
Thanks

Ah, suffering, the great teacher. They say pain is part of life but suffering is optional. We’re not talking, of course, of the great pain and suffering that millions around the world, primarily in Third World countries, experience daily as a result of simply the circumstances of their birth, although there are “human” causes and solutionsto their situation as well. We do have the means to wipe out the unspeakable suffering of millions from despotic governments,poverty,famine, disease and pestulence for the most part, but those who suffer and die daily have little control overtheir situation andcircumstances. They are truly victims of human greed, unfair distribution of wealth and exploitation by the haves and the have-mores (primarily us in the West who are conspicuous consumers of 25% of the world’s resources and only 5% of the population)…and, some natural disasters (i.e. drought, earthquakes, zsunamis, etc.)over which we collectively have little control. The reasons forthis tremendous suffering isnot always clear.

We are talking of self-inflicted emotional and psychological suffering due to our spiritual ignorance…this we ALL have control over.It was said by the Buddha, some 2500 years ago that enlightenment (spiritual awareness of our divine connection and purpose) is the “end of suffering”. This is still true today yet we continue to wallow in our own ego-generated suffering bythe false identificationand attachment toour transient and temporary physical self. Weare now learningthe purpose of this BUT not its inevitability.

When we observe or witness, from the vantage point of our True Self beyond mind, the insidious nature of our false mind ego-self, the pretender to our identity, we can begin the process of re-identification with that which we are. The following is the latest understanding of our true spiritual nature and identity based upon40 years of research and over 7000 hypnotic regressions with some 2000 subjects (Dr. Michael Newton’s discovery that we all have memories of our life between lives reported in his two volume work-Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls: New Case Studies of Life Between Lives) in which his subjects report their activities as discarnate souls. Here are the core findings and spiritual principals, quoted here verbatim from his Life Between Lives: Hypnotherapy for Spiritual Regression, based solely upon what his subjects have reported to him and he characterizes as the “The Way of Souls” (the words in italics and underlinings are mine):

If you read the above with an open mind and contemplate the repercussions and implications for a whole range of religious ideologies and theologies still being practiced and believed, you cannot help but come away with a mixture of tremendous hope for mankind and a deep sadness at the millennia of tragic death and misery directly caused by our spiritual ignorance. The striking fact of how inconsequential religious belief itself is treated (actually ignored completely as to whether one had a successful life), particularly dogmatic creeds and various religious idolatry, practices and observances, unless they were the motivation or cause for some harmful or negative actions, is just one of the major revelations of his study. In other words, as most of us with a moral and ethical progressive worldview would surely agree, if our religious/spiritual beliefs help to foster love, compassion, tolerance, peace, harmony, forgiveness together with service to others and these are demonstrated/actualized to the best of our ability, it makes no difference what our ideological or religious beliefs or tenets, creed or other rituals or practices are that we profess. Only our deeds are considered, not what religion or holy book we avow allegiance to- special points given to those who treat everyone with equanimity regardless of their human status as a unique spiritual being of the One Source. As Above, so below. We are not differentiated in the Spirit World so we must presume that it is desired that we bring that which is of our divine home into this one.

It is made very clear by all Dr. Newton’s subjects that only our actions and possibly our words and the emotional displays attached to our thoughts as they negatively affect others are of any real consequence to the hierarchy of souls to whom we directly report, and they appear to be the only ones who assess our soul’s level of attainment. Whether they consult with others unseen or the Source/Presence Itself in some “external” way is simply not known. His subjects also clearly report that we ourselves once free of our physical body and reoriented to our spiritual “home” upon physical death are the primary and foremost arbiters of whether we had successfully completed our life’s mission here. Once free of the false ego’s attachments and excuse mechanisms we are able to honestly evaluate our performance objectively. We as discarnate souls, although certainly not perfect and have much to learn and many lifetimes yet to live, do know when we have failed to meet our own goals and where we have fallen short of our expectations and those of our spiritual mentors. The old adage that we are harder on ourselves than others holds true even more so in the spirit world.

So, althoughdualism and the play of oppositesHAVE been our great teachers,when we awaken to the truth of our reason for being here, WE have the power to end it…and all suffering.

YOur Brother in Spirit,

Mona Lili-Bella,
great insight!!! Great awareness!!

Where were you born? Which country?

Grampswayne, WHOW what a speech… it’s my path, too.

Thank you Asteri for your deep compassion and loving heart, may I say I feel we all have a part to play in helping, caring and sharing with each other, whenever…
A profound and enlightning post..
I do second if I may the words Sherri shared, you honor us with your testiment and reaching out to share compassion and explore, bless you dear friend..

A most wonderful and insight-full post by Grampswayne I have the wonderful book by Michael Newton there is also a interesting talk by him on YouTube covering points from ‘Destiny of Souls’

I agree we have many opportunities, choices and lessons while incarnating here, we can open our hearts or choose from many ways, paths and experiences, it is we who decide and assess our progression and if we reached or attained what it was our soul set out to learn..
I imagine we all see and feel, connect to our own meaning of the image of a child who is suffering, have our own questions, reasons, inspiring thoughts of what we could or would do to help alleviate or change such pain….

I have seen hungry children where I live, hungry for food, love, joy and connection, yet it is my experience and perception that decides my intentions, compassion and expression of loving action..

If we are aware we are all one then we know..

Thank you all for a truly inspiring, insightful and touching posting..

Love
Ange

To All My New Gaia Friends,

I am overwhelmed by your kind words and loving gestures. I am a Pasadena, California native and still reside here. I hope to here from as many of you who wish to contact me..most importantly those of you willing to share your thoughts and feelings about these new revelations of our spiritual nature and our activities between our lives.

There is much more we are just beginning to discover about ourselves as transmigrating spiritual beings. Many of our most agonizing questions and incredulousness at the amount ofhuman tragedy we have endured and continue to manifest hereare now being revealed to us for our understanding. As discarnate souls we already know many of the answers.

All of the above general statements as to the reality of our true spiritual nature and the make-up of the spirit world are derived from the amazing detailed transcripts of the hundreds of case studies Dr. Newton citesfrom his individual subjects, much of which is verbatim question and answer. It is the absolute consistency of these details, varying only in some of the descriptive language used, that is overwhelming and compelling. He explores all of the possible alternative explanations that are proffered by the skeptics and each and everyone fails to explain his findings as being anything other than the memories of an experienced reality. They are completely veridical and non-contradictory, thus making them tremendously convincing, particularly because of their lack of any religious symbolism in which the “afterlife” is often portrayed. If the recalled memories had contained unfulfilled wishes or, as one would suspect, were influenced by the subject’s religious beliefs, or even if they were hallucinatory manifestations of some delusional state of mind, you would expect a full range of fanciful flights of fantasy, various religious symbolism and beatific visions. There were none, even from those who professed what would be considered as either biblical literalism or fundamental Christian religious beliefs (The Christian belief is singled out here only because it is the predominant religion of his subjects).

Some subjects were hoping to meet with Jesus or other religious figures, even God Himself (Dr. Newton did not discuss before-hand any of his previous findings, nor did he discourage any expectations, whether rational or not). Once the subject was regressed to a discarnate state the rationale for most of their human conscious belief systems or excuse mechanisms vanished, particularly when they would have contradicted the reality they were reporting. They immediately knew who they were and that they were in their spiritual home. All of their earthly illusions or delusions were no longer part of their conscious make-up. They also knew that the excuses or justifications for their mistaken judgments and poor decisions regarding their life would pretty much fall on “deaf ears” (earthly metaphor here, since all communication is telepathic). Many would try and justify their misguided actions by complaining that the body they were given would not do what they wanted or that they had lost “control” of it due to its difficult physical hardwiring or predispositions. Some cited the overwhelming and tremendous hardships they were forced to undergo. These complaints were also not given any real acceptance or much sympathy, for they were reminded of the fact that they had decided on the body they chose and were advised of its potential for certain problems.(It’s not that our guides and mentors are not sympathetic and understanding of the many challenges, decisions and difficulties we face. They are intimately aware, for they themselves have lived many lives of hardship to reach their current level of soul development as teachers of others. They, in fact, are not unlike a kind and compassionate sponsor in AA. They are there to help us to overcome these difficult challenges with love and understanding, not to baby or coddle us or help us to justify our reasons for wrong action, and are uniquely qualified to guide us through our failures, for they have undergone them all themselves).

When reviewing a subject/client’s past lives during the LBL regression, Dr. Newton asks some very intriguing questions. The most important is: “How much is your soul-ego influenced by the brain of each body you choose? Do some bodies make it more difficult than others to maintain your permanent identity?”(Book 3, pg. 163). The answers to these questions are particularly revealing in our realization of who we are in our permanent soul character or personality. He states, “Human society, especially in areas of high population, can cause one to feel isolated, empty and unable to commit if we are not sure who we are in the scheme of things.” These feelings of isolation, emptiness, not belonging here or what psychologist’s have long called alienation are particularly acute in pre or adolescent teens but often these nebulous but gnawing feelings can persist well into adulthood if not addressed. The operative word here is “alien” for this dimension’s space-time materiality is literally alien or foreign to our permanent spiritual identity-who we are in our eternal manifestation.

One of the extremely interesting aspects of the incarnation dynamic all the subjects reported was the fact that we do not take all of our soul energy with us to Earth. Dr. Newton, learning this early on, would always ask subsequent subjects the percentage of energy they had taken for their incarnation. The average was around 60% and never more than 75%. The amount we take is always our decision, but we are advised by our guides and our Elders on the Council (note the mention of this above. More about these Wise Ones later) what percentage would be best given the body choice. Some would take less than was recommended and often it turned out to be a very big mistake i.e. they were unable to overcome difficult or challenging situations the body’s predisposition had imposed; such as alcoholism /addiction or simply strong negative or destructive reactions to hardships or abuse that sent their life spiraling out of control. Again, since even the choice to incarnate on earth is our decision, we become fully responsible for the outcome of that life.

We, in fact, enter into a contract to “stay” with the body when the choice is made, no matter what happens and, most importantly, not to leave early (commit suicide). We are fully prepared before we leave as discarnate spirits, but we have our own imperfections and weaknesses we need to work on and improve in order to progress to the next level of soul development. The body choices given us offer varying degrees of difficulty specific to those areas we need to correct or improve. We don’t always choose the “easiest” one. In fact, one subject had selected bodies with physical impairments or a serious genetic disease for her last 4 incarnations in order to overcome a previous proclivity towards selecting attractive and powerful bodies she had used to her own selfish advantages. She had fallen behind her soul group as a result and by selecting the most difficult bodies offered her she was able to “make up” for the lack of progress in her earlier “easy” life selections. In other words, we are given body choices which will allow us to be either indulgent or allow us to “skate”(a term used by one of his subjects) in a particular life, or we can select a more difficult body assignment which presents us with the challenges we need to progress more rapidly e.g. a physically impaired body or other “challenging” trait or temperament that would require us to “work harder” or undergo more hardships than would say a healthy body and/or wealthy and loving parents. So, the body types and the family situations (varying socio-economic circumstances or caring and nurturing verses neglectful or abusive parents) that are offered us, and the one we ultimately select, has everything to do with the lessons we need to learn and/or the karmic tasks we need to endure for us to progress as a soul. What our purpose and mission is in making this decision and coming to Earth, is an essential part of our journey in reaching our ultimate goal of our soul’s progression towards reunion with the Source, as Dr. Newton states above. It is also of major interest and importance to us all in knowing today, what we need to do to fulfill that purpose and mission here.

There is, however, one major obstacle to the realization of these lessons and tasks we choose to set forth to learn and achieve. WE WON’T REMEMBER WHAT THEY ARE OR THE REASONS WHY WE’RE HERE, OR, MOST SIGNIFICANTLY, WHO WE REALLY ARE! We are all, of course, intentionally given a large dose of amnesia or none of this would need to be explained and finally revealed to us now. Although this may seem cruel and unfair to us, the reason for this is well understood by all in the spirit world. If we are aware of who we are and all our previous lives on a conscious level, there would be little reason for us to come here to undergo all the trials of discovery and the consequences of our actions and choices. It is specifically the overcoming of these difficult challenges and the triumph of our spirit, shining through this physical being that is hosting us, that makes this “game” of life so valuable as a means for learning. In other words, if we always knew what we needed to do to win and what the outcome would be, there would be no use in “playing the game”. What “fun” would that be. Our incarnations, incidentally, are referred to by many of the subjects in their lighter moments as a “game” or “play”, but it is a very serious one, indeed. Just as we can laugh at ourselves when we recall an event after many years that was, at the time, very harrowing, dangerous or even humiliating, we as souls can also laugh and make fun of our many mistakes, even tragic ones at the time, when we look back upon our many lives. There is, by the way, quite a bit of laughter, joking and good natured ribbing by all in the spirit world. Remember, we are eternal beings of pure conscious energy and though we undergo physical death many times, we continue on in our “real” lives as immortal and unique souls of light.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Everyone reports that through all of this process in the spirit world we are given unconditional and unlimited love, patience, understanding, encouragement, and NON-JUDGMENTAL assessment and correction as regards our mistakes, poor choices and the satisfying of our karmic debt (more about this later) in our lives here. THERE IS NO PUNISHMENT. No one is ever condemned or “left behind” and although some of us progress towards our goal faster than others, WE ALL WILL EVENTUALLY EVOLVE AND PROGRESS THROUGH ALL OF THE HIGHER LEVELS OF SOUL DEVELOPMENT. AND, THERE IS INFINITE TIME TO DO SO.

We are the ones who are impatient to progress and wish to do well. We are the ones who are disappointed in the speed of our progress and the fulfillment of our purpose and mission; not our teachers or guides, or even the so-called Council of Elders who monitor and evaluate our progress and help us to develop and prepare for each incarnation. With an all embracing love and eternal patience, they want us to progress and do all they can to aid us in our development; they do not judge us, but encourage and assist us in determining what we must do in each life to correct our mistakes and to develop the characteristics necessary to progress to the next level of soul attainment. It is always and ultimately our decision to return to earth or to heed or not to heed their sage advice.

I invite your questions and thoughts and wish to express my profound thanks for your kind comments. Do any of these new “facts” find resonance within your soul?

Your Spiritual Brother Always,

Grampswayne

Dear Asteri,

Thank you for you interest and excellent questions. Some of what I have quoted or stated above begins to answer your questions but there is much more. By the way, there has only beenJoel Whitton’s book, renamedyears after its initial publication as”Life Between Life”, prior to Dr. Newton’s independent discovery of our ability to access our soul memories. His book says little to nothing about our activities between our lives and only dealt with a few regressions. Dr. Newton’s work with over 2000 subjectshas been a lifelong endeavor toliterally “map out” the Spirit World from death to rebirth as revealed by his clients.No one other than his students (about 2 dozen or so to date), who will be publishing soon there own case studies based on his induction techniques, have done this kind of in depth questioning of our discarnate experiences. Now to your questions:

“What about the nature ofthe soul?” His first basic fact in the “Way of Souls” above is an attempt to define what the soul is comprised of. Again, ”

The soul cannot be defined because it has no limits that are perceived about its creation. The most consistent reports of its demonstrated essence is that the soul represents intelligent energy which is immortal and manifested by vibrational waves of light and color”. He does ask his subjects, what do you look like when you are not projecting your human image to others? They have many interesting reponses here. One said we looked like “deardrops” or “blobs” of energy but have unique “wisps” or strands of colored energy that we are able to identify as our soul mates. We can also make unique sounds and emit unique patterns of light…one soul wasnicknamed “jingles” because his unique eminations of energy would “literally” make a jingle or tinkling sound when he approached!

Dr. Newton has identified also our unique core and auric colors as indicators of our level of development. So, by asking his clients to identify these colors in their “mates” or “companion souls” he was able to classifyeach soul aseither abeginner/new, intermediate or advanced and by their core color assign them to an arbitrarily level of advancement from Level I to Level VI (from white to dark purple). The auric colors identified specific temperments-see thegraphs and diagrams in his books for these.

Now by nature you may be also referring to their “spiritual” attributes, temperaments and other aspects of personality. Werange the full gamit of characteristics that we display as humans e.g. introverted, extroverted, contemplative,reticent or risk taking, playful or serious, etc. The difference between our soul personalitiesand our human onesis that as souls wecannot hide our feelings or thoughtsfor we are all telepathic and are”open books” to everyone so to speak. There is no malevelence or “evil” intentions orthe negative feelings of jealously or anger that we have in human bodies. As energy “forms” of light and vibration (frequencies?) we are treated equally with an all embracing love and caring and all our activities are directed towards progressing in love, compassion for others, knowledge and wisdom…and, only by incarnating can we fully develop these qualities through trial and error and a vast amount of consequential experience. It appears that, as stated above, Earth is a unique environment for this training and the lessons only a percieved duality and the discernment acquired by yes, “suffering” the consequences of our actions and decisions can provide.

“Who creates them?: We are “birthed” as soulsin a process very similar to beingborn as humans. Thisamazing processis described by one subject who told the Doctor that she was an apprentice “Birth Mother” between her lives and assisted in “birthing” souls in an area where there was a large “undulating’ mass of energy. More to come…have to leave you now.

Your Brother in Spirit always,

Grampswayne

Hi there Asteri,

I am having problems typing on this page and completing the information I was giving regarding the “Birth Mothers”…sorry. Try this for now:

Karma or simply action, is a concept going back to the ancient Sanskrit books of the earliest Indo-Aryan civilizations. It is mentioned in the Upanishads and Vedic texts and has been interpreted and reinterpreted for millennia. Dr. Newton discovers from his subjects that some of the earthly understandings of karma have been corrupted and, particularly among the Hindu castes and how it is played out, are mistaken. What he is told and what is repeatedly discussed with his clients in a discarnate state, is that EVERYTHING THAT WE SAY AND DO IS RECORDED, INCLUDING THE INTENTIONS LEADING TO OUR ACTIONS. These records are kept in a grand archive that appears to have no end (this is of course a metaphor for our understanding and not an actual “physical” edifice that we are familiar with). Without going into the quite amazing mechanics reported by his clients of the archival information retrieval process, which is given in his two books, we are able to review our past lives in minute detail and apparently “enter into” these living volumes to replay certain actions and perform role reversals. This extensive life review continues from the time we return after death up to the time we decide to come back to earth for another cycle of incarnation.

So, the “life review” reported in near death experiences is only a glimpse of the actual review work we do in our cluster group settings and in “independent study” at the “Great Hall of Records” where the books of life are stored, described by all of his subjects. We spend many “hours” (remember there is no time per se as we know it in the spirit world) thus reviewing our actions and replaying significant episodes in our lives with particular attention paid to the effects of our actions on others. This is the real value in the learning process of the review. What were the effects/consequences of our actions on our own lives and how did our actions affect all those around us? He gives one example, where a subject was told to “enter into” the body of a kid he had harmed as a bully on the playground in elementary school. The purpose of the “lesson” was to literally enable him to “feel” the other kid’s pain and humiliation at his hands. He had first relived the bullying incident as himself and did the role reversal to “experience” the complete effect as perpetrator once again, and then as the victim of his own actions.

We don’t just review the incidents in which we were harmful to someone either physically or emotionally or caused some negative reaction, we also review times when we were particularly kind and generous as well. While before his Council, one of his subjects was referred to an incident that he had completely forgotten. He had been a successful businessman during the Depression and although he had been tough on his employees and somewhat callous to their needs, he wanted to point out to the Council that he had given money generously to charity. They weren’t particularly impressed with his money giving, but reminded him of a very brief incident in which he had been walking hurriedly to his office as usual, and although rarely if ever did he stop to offer help to the many out of work people he would pass by every day, this particular day he saw a woman sitting and crying on the sidewalk. He went over and put his arm around her telling her that everything would be ok and consoled her about her situation. He picked her up and helped her to a park bench, she thanked him and he went on his way, never giving the incident a second thought.

The subject wondered why his Council would bring up this long forgotten and fleeting moment, so he questioned, “Why do you mention this incident to me when I had given quite a bit of money to charities throughout my life; I didn’t even give that poor woman any money?”. They told him it was exactly this kind of selflessness, in which he had shown a total stranger true compassion and caring, that they were most interested in helping him to develop in future lives.

We all have what you might call a Karmic Bank Account (solely my characterization) in which all of our positive and negative actions, words and thoughts have been tallied. When at the end of each life that account is audited, it is determined whether we have a net surplus or a negative debt. This is added to or subtracted from all our previous lives (in actuality there is no such cut and dried assessment or numerical tally, I use it only as a demonstrative tool/analogy) So, if we have accrued a greater deposit on the positive side we won’t have to carry over to our next life any debt from this one. But, if it is reversed, and we have built up a large negative balance, it will have to be rectified by our actions in the next life. This Karmic Debt then may manifest in our having to undergo even greater challenges in the next life, or experience the receiving end of the negative actions we had carried out against others in this one. This is not as punishment for our “sins”, but simply the lessons we need to learn so as to understanding fully the consequences and the effects of all of our actions and deeds. Only by experiencing the receiving end of what we have given out to others, can we truly “understand” the full impact on others of our actions.

For example, say you had been an unrepentant drunk and beat your wife regularly in your marriage. You may in making the choice for your next life realize you need to undergo a similar kind of abuse from say a father or spouse. The determination of exactly what compensating experience or task you will require to “settle” any debt you have created will be made by you, in conjunction with your guides and your Council members. It will also be your decision to undergo that compensatory experience. Again, we can never fully understand the effects of our actions on others unless we undergo them ourselves. It is always understood that this “compensation” or if you will, payment, is not punitive but is required for us to learn and progress (It’s important to note that not all of the hardships and challenges we undergo in our lives are necessarily recompense for some past-life behavior. Usually only the major themes or circumstances of our birth are broadly outlined or predetermined. There is always the element of choice and chance. There are only high degrees of probability for certain things occurring. We always have the free will to change virtually anything in our life. That is the purpose of our physical life here.) You are never forced to do anything. But, it will become very clear to you that unless you are willing to take risks and develop the understanding of all life’s consequences, you will be left behind by your spirit group. Only by living through the demands of a physical existence can the soul grow in understanding life’s hard lessons. And, only in this physical realm of duality, with its play of opposites, is the soul given the opportunity to develop and progress by making difficult choices. No other means or environment allows us to progress to the higher levels of consciousness and soul development that we seek as divine experiencers, and do it so quickly, as those afforded us as incarnate humans. This is why we have chosen to be here.

All of Dr. Newton’s subjects tell him about the uniqueness of this planet for the lessons they are in need of learning. They are told that no other planetary system provides the soul with the specific challenges that earth provides, and there are other worlds and dimensions that we have access to, but none offer the soul quite the same unique environment for advancement.

Your Brother in Spirit,

Grampswayne

Absolutely, Asteri, there are many types of worlds, some are just mental worlds with no physicality, others are a combination of the mental and physical and on other physical worlds whichwe use primarily for our creation training, we literally practice creating or making adjustments to the animal and plant life and other environmental manifestations there. His subjects talk of using these for recreation or vacations to learning field trips. Some are air worlds or water worlds in which we can inhabit creatures that fly or live under water. There are a number of nothing short of fantastic descriptions given by his subjects who say that on these planets/dimensions we can experience flying or swimming as exotic creatures or even become gases or fire to experience even non-biological phenomena. Some beingsfrom other worlds or dimensions come to our spirit world to experience being human on earth…these are the hybrid souls of which muchhas been written (see Delores Cannon”s books)… soNewton’s clientsconfirmmanyof these realities. Certain numbers of us have the ability to incarnate on other worlds as well….sort of a foreign exchange program.

To answer your “game” question : Physical life is a reality game meant to train us and prepare us for some greater good not yet explained to us. That greater good is the collective purpose of our humanity and only but one phase or aspect of our divine destiny. Our eternal soul/spiritual existence is the ground of all ultimate reality/being and is the true intelligent essence of our being which flows inexorably from that which is Beingness itself.

The human ego is a separate entity composed of thought from the original consciousness of the soul. But, it was created as a means to navigate the physical body in this world of form, transience and impermanence. Due to purposeful amnesiac blocks it does not know its true origins or its creator. It thus believes it is separate and owes allegiance only to itself and to all that feeds its self promotion. Being alone, separated from the whole of creation, it is an alien in a foreign land- alienated from life itself. To survive it must continually promote and defend itself. It lives in constant fear of annihilation. The ego accommodates others (other egos which it perceives to have the same underlying fear and self-interest) only when they serve its purpose which is to promote or defend itself. They and you are unconscious of the Consciousness you are. So, the only thing that separates you from God or your divinely created true Self, is your unconscious ego self.

We are here to awaken to our true Soul/Self and our connectedness to every soul/person we meet and to all that is. We need to try and avoid any judgment of others by their exterior appearance, mannerisms or even attitudinal displays, particularly those which you feel are attached to any negative associations. Look through all outward cues in which any negative feelings arise within you. Realize this is egoic mind asserting its perceptive myopia in an attempt to elevate itself. And, all your negative perceptions, associations, interpretations are simply your ego assessing their ego. Not only recognize your ego, therefore, but identify theirs as well, realizing just as your egoic mind is not who you are, neither is their egoic display who they are.(may need attribution here-look up).

We are all on the same journey of spiritual evolution and have varying degrees of spiritual awareness. Most of us are not aware of our true spiritual nature at all and in fact many of us still deny our divine heritage, even some of our temporal leaders. Your level of spiritual progression is not determined by your position in society or even your intelligence in human quantifications. We each were sent here on a mission with unique attributes and weaknesses. It is our primary purpose to discover what our true purpose is for being here and then to fulfill it in the best way that we can in accordance with our “prevailing awareness“.

Until next time.

Your Spiritual Brother

Wayne

Hi (Gramps-)Wayne and Asteri,
I have been following with fascination your interactions on souls here. Everything you write, Grampswayne, about Michael Newton’s book seems so clear and natural to me.
I have been following Brian Weiss’ studies on hypnotic regression and also David R. Hawkins information about spirituality, enlightenment and why we are here (”The I”).

Talking about life between life, you mentioned Joel Whitten. But what about Michael Newton’s book Life Between Lives: Hypnotherapy for Spiritual Regression, have you read it? (I certainly will).

Thank you Wayne, and thank you Asteri (yes, I agree, putting this information on your blog, Wayne or another discussion group would be nice!).

Greetings Silke and Asteri, et al
I responded personally regarding Newton’s third and last book on Hypnotherapy meant as a call to other past-life regressionists to continue his work (Newton is “semi-retired”). Many have taken up his research and I am told these “students” from around the world will be publishing new case studies from their client files very soon. We have just scratched the surface in revealing the enormous scope of the spirit world of our birth and the other worlds and dimensions we currently have access too as still incarnating souls.
His case studies included some very advanced souls who he had only begun to tap into their knowledge and speculation as to the vastness of our soul life as still incarnating souls and what may come thereafter. There are many areas he has not fully explored and,of course, each of us has unique understandings and experiences as discarnate souls. I personally have many questions I would love to ask of his subjects. Most importantly, I am waiting now for my own LBL regression and look forward to writing about the experience.
I would love to start a new blog about our extraterrrestial visitors and particularly the purpose and the end game scenario for the countless abductions that have been taking place at least as early as the 1950’s.
I am still in mild shock over the conclusions Dr. David Jacob drew and specculated over in his “The Threat”.  If you haven’t read it then you are not fully aware of the portentious and possibly ominous intentions of the reproductive material harvesting and hybridization programs of our little Grey friends and their mentors. 
Who’s game to explore the limits of our current knowledge of their intentions for our planet…or will they just leave with the information they have been gathering about us. I am not up to date on the last few years so I would love to know of the latest from Hopkins, Jacobs, Fowler and others.
Most of our best information about abductions and almost all of our current understanding of the spirit world is a result of advanced regressive hypnosis techniques. Both have required breaking through amnesiac blocks or in the case of alien abductions various and elaborate “screen memories”.
 
What say you. It is still one of the largest elephants in the living room!
 
Your Brother in Spirit,
Wayne
