Helping Others

In previous posts I have mentioned that you are the only person that can heal yourself of a past life or Karma. You must also keep this in mind when you feel the desire to help someone. The reality of the situation is that they are the only ones that can truly help them. This might sound a little cold and this is a concept I have fought with myself but there is no way around it. Regardless of what position the person is in or what has happened to them they are there because of their past life Karma. So how do you go about helping these people?

The first thing you have to look at is why you feel the need to help them. In most cases we are driven by guilt. Guilt from our past life actions. What you need to do is look into yourself and find the true reason you are driven to help this person. By clearing your past life you are actually helping this person far more than giving them money or sympathy.

If you can get past your own guilt, or even if you don't, the other thing that you can do to help this person is to ask the more advanced souls to help this person. After this you move on knowing that the spiritual help the person needs is there for them. If you you still feel the need to do more, look inside and ask yourself why.

The Cost of Spiritualism

I have long believed that Spiritualism and spiritual learning is best done in an open collaborative environment. Where people not only listen and learn but also teach. In reality most Spiritualism is done for a charge and profit.

Most churches and religious organizations charge you for their teachings. They may not call it a charge, it could be for donations or similar terms, but the fact is that you are expected to give them money in exchange for the spiritual knowledge and leadership that they are giving you.

Even if you decided to go it alone or avoid the organized religions you don't get away from the fee. You have books that are no cheaper than any other books. Don't fool yourself into thinking these writers and publishers are trying to teach you out of some noble cause. They are there to make a profit. Now I'm sure there are some that are there for noble reasons but for most it comes down to money. Then you have spiritual seminars and sessions. Again you pay to attend and more than what's require to pay for the hall.

I understand that these people are putting their time and effort into these things and you could easily justify the fact that they deserve to get paid for their efforts. In the end it comes down to "you can be saved, but only if you can pay."

Most of us think this mentality only exist in a select few, high profile, religious leaders but you can find it everywhere. The history of organized religions is not one of faith and helping but that of power and control.

This is one of the reasons I started this blog. To share what I have learn and in hopes that I might learn from those who comment here. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to make money off this site. If I could put some money in my pocket from this effort I would. What I won't do however, is cut off this blog to those who can pay or charge from my posts. I would consider putting some Ads on the site or publishing a cheap POD or e-Book. I assure you however that this site is not a get rich scheme. In fact I don't expect that this site will ever pull in anything worth mentioning. I believe the spiritual truth is for everyone, it is not owned by one person. It is the right of everyone, not just those who can pay.

It's not always easy

In my previous post I wrote about how you deal with your past lives. How you clear them or get a healing from the karma they have on you. Written down the process appears quite simple. After all it is just a list of steps. Reality however is completely different it takes a lot of time and practice to be able to clear past lives at will and even then is not all that easy. Our egos get involved. The effect of this is that when we get a past life it turns out to be more what you want it to be rather than what it is and thus is not cleared. There are also distractions.

This weekend I was sick. I recognized that the source was not a virus or something in this life, but the past life that drew that virus to me. So, I started my process of figuring out what I need to heal. The problem was that I was so physically distracted (pain and nauseous) that I couldn’t focus. I could not detach myself from the situation long enough to do what I need to do to figure out the past life involved.

It is important to understand that no matter how far down the road you are; sometime you encounter a situation that is a struggle for you. But, you keep on struggling, you learn and you heal. In the end you are spiritually stronger than when you started.
