It's All Your Fault

How many times when something bad happens to use do we blame other people. We have become a society that doesn't want to take responsibility for anything. Spill a cup of coffee on yourself and get burned? It's not your fault the coffee shop made it too hot. Well guess what it is your fault. You know when you buy a coffee it will be hot. I would bet the same person would complain it's cold if it wasn't. But, the point of this is not to rant.

What we need to understand is that we are responsible for what we do, happens to us and how we respond. This is regardless of what happens, yes I'm saying that if someone comes up and shoots you, it's your fault.

Now this may seem harsh to a lot of people. It seem harsh to me when I first heard the concept, but it is the truth. Everything that happens because of an energy relationship and our karma. Maybe that person shot you because unknown to either of you, you shot and killed him in World War II. Alternatively, he might have shot you in World War I. It is likely that the two of you have been wronging each other for several life times. As soon as realise that the reason "bad" things happen to you is because of something you've done you can really do something about it.

The fact is that you will relive your past karma until you do something about it. The first step is recognizing that the problem is inside not out. Then you can look inward for the root cause. Use what you feel as your guide. Recognize that they are the feels of a past life.

There is a lesson to be learn in almost everything we experience. If we stop blaming we can find the real causes to our problems and learn.

Our Place on the Other Side

In our physical bodies our ability to understand the "Other Side" or Higher Dimensions is limited. Part of what we are here to do is to learn enough so that we are capable of living permanently in these worlds. This maybe a little against logic since this is where our higher selves currently exist, but until we reach that point we can not live in the body we call our higher self or soul.

The higher worlds are worlds of energy. They are beyond our ability to truly understand and see, but yet many people visit these worlds for lessons and guidance. When we do this our minds create an interpretation of these worlds our mind can understand. This is why some people's visions of these worlds can be different and have both correct. This is also why we have similarities, because after all it is the same world.

I have two versions of the higher worlds depending on why I am there. I also have a version that I have out grown.

The first version of the higher world I had I first experienced well over ten years ago. It was a vast dark void. In the void was a table and two chairs that occupied the only lit area in the void. A light shone down on the table from an unknown source above. At this point I had not learned enough to bring the other worlds into focus, but I could communicate with my spirit guide while we sat at that table.

A few years ago two new versions surfaced. The first was a vast crystal city. It contains rooms for lessons, healing area, "living" areas for the souls and what we would call a temple. It is here where I have spoken to Angels and Arc-Angels. I have learned from them and they have helped me with healings and negative energies.

The last place is the most personal place. It is my spiritual place. It consists of a waterfall, about 20 feet tall, of silver that plunges into a small river. At the rivers bank is a bench at which I have often sat. Here I have spoken to souls more personally linked to me. It is here that I first spoke to my son, when my wife was just a few week pregnant. I still go there and have talked to my son's higher self as recently as a few week ago, he's now two and half. It was here I also spoke to the daughter we lost recently. She explained some of the reasons for the event that took place and told me that she was not returning. She has moved on and is actually my son's current spirit guide.

So please tell me, what does the other side and higher worlds look like to you. What is your spiritual sanctuary?

Spirit Guides

I figured it was time to touch base on the topic that my blog title would imply this site is about, Spirit Guides.

Spirit Guides do exist and people do have them, but not everyone has one. The purpose of a "good" spirit guide is not to "protect" form bad things in your life. Some people would have you believe that these entities are here only to save us from bad things that would hurt or other wise kill us. But, this is not the case. They may at some point step in and do something that appear to be this way but they would never step in the way of a lesson you need to learn or a Karma you needed to clear. They cannot protect you from your own thoughts and energies they bring to you. Spirit Guides are here to help you to find your truth.

It is likely that you will not have the same spirit guide for you entire life, or even have one for parts of your life. As I said they are here to help us learn and thus once we have learned what they are there to help us with, they will move on. There will also be lessons that we must learn on our own, or is to our benefit to learn on our on. As we grow spiritually our ability to communicate with spirit guides and other higher beings increase, but they help they will provide decrease. It may seem odd that as we are able to better communicate with these higher beings that they do less for us. They do this because we are better able to do things for ourselves and the only way to continue to grow is for them to do less for us.

So what is a spirit guide? Well in simplest for they are an entity here to guide use. As you might have noticed above I referred to "good" spirit guides, this is because there are several different types of spirit guides.

Good Spirit Guides: are the higher selves of other people, either dead or living. As crazy as it sounds your spirit guide could be the higher self of someone living, but this is rare. These higher selves have become what some would consider Angels.

Neutral Spirit Guides: despite my choice in terms neutral spirit guides are not harmless. These spirit guides are discarnates or ghosts who have chosen not to move on; in some cases because they wish to stay behind and "help" someone. In most of these cases they do little to help themselves or the person they are trying to help. These people have not learn enough to be helpful as a spirit guide and they will end up interfering more in the persons development than they will help it progress. These types of spirit guides should be asked to leave and directed to move on to where they can get the help they need.

Malicious Spirit Guides: these usually take the form of sub astrals but can take the form of discarnates. These entities say that they are trying to help but in reality are purposely hindering the persons spiritual progress and in most cases are pulling it down and destroying their spirituality. These types of spirit guides must be instructed to leave and return to where they cam from. Their mere presence is an attack on your soul and spirituality.

The point of this sight is to be none of the above. I am not here to teach or to claim that what I write is the only truth. My purpose is to publish my beliefs and in a hope that it might help others and guide them to their spiritual truth.

Respect and Believe

I have been light on the post the past but I'm not going to apologies for it. The fact is that sometimes this will happen. In life we are ultimately responsible for our own happiness and learning and no on else’s. This week I needed to spend energies on me and my family, but this is not what I wanted to post about today.

In my previous post I got a reply where the person wished me to walk "with god's love". Now I do not think I stated it before, but I don't not believe in a god; at least not the biblical god. In spite of this I welcomed the wish with the intent that it was given. I respect the person's right to believe in god and to ask their god to watch over and help other. I make similar requests just not to "god".

This got me thinking about people’s tolerances towards others beliefs. I think that most people expect that based on you race that you will follow a certain set of beliefs. If you are white then you Christian or similar religion, if you’re from the Middle East then you are Muslim or the like. When you break this religious image people can have a hard time; you are breaking the image they have built of you. I do not judge people based on their beliefs, in fact I love meeting someone who is open about their beliefs and is willing to discuss beliefs with me. This does not mean that one tries to convert the other, but that you understand the other person’s belief. I find great value in understanding what others believe and why.

I think that if more people were accepting of other people’s right to believe differently we would be a lot better off. I look around the world I see so much fighting and killing going on because of differences in beliefs. There are few religions in the world today that don't teach peace and love. Let us lay down our arms, open our ears and our hearts. Then maybe we have a hope of peace.

Loss and Sympathy

Last Friday my wife and I went through quite an ordeal. I don't want to cover it all here, but you can see the full story on my personal blog here.

The events themselves had hard moments as would be expected but, both my wife and I were quick to accept and understand the situation. There are still some physically healing, but the more important emotional and spiritual healings are complete.

The hardest thing to deal with now is other people’s responses. There are no ways of avoiding telling people what happened. I mean we told people we were expecting we now have to tell them we are not. After that comes the well wishes, prayers and sympathy.

I have posted in past my beliefs on prayer, here, so if you’re considering praying for my wife and/or I please read it first.

But, what can you do about it. There are some people I feel OK with explaining my belief to, but most would not understand. There is a fine line between support, understanding and help, and sympathy and harm. Now I don't believe anyone is intending to cause us harm, but they don't understand the nature of the energy they are sending out.

My wife is getting more tired over the past few days. I believe that this is caused by the increasing number of people sending sympathy her way. Sherry a writing friend of mine posted that she was sending love. This is along the right lines. Send a spiritual hug, ask for the person to be help and then know that the help is there is the person needs it.

Over the next little while my posts maybe few. I know you will understand, and help us by not sending prayers and just asking the angels and higher spirits to help us when we need it.

Selling a Soul

On one of the blogs I visit on a regular basis she post regarding people who were selling their souls. Her post really got me thinking about my belief on the soul and possibilities and effects of selling it.

My first thought, which I put in a comment on his site, was regarding ownership on a soul. In putting our souls up for sale we are assuming that we have ownership over it and the right to sell it. I believe that this is a false assumption. We do not own our souls; if anything it is the soul that owns us. In my comment I equate selling your soul and a car selling its owner as being the same. Our bodies are really nothing more than a vehicle for our soul.

This being said it has not stopped people from selling and buying souls. This got me thinking about what the impact of selling your soul would be, is there one?

I believe that in selling your soul there is no impact on the soul. A physical person is not capable of owning a soul and other souls and more "advanced" beings would have no interest in it. There for you soul is safe from being sold. It's just like the con artists who use to try selling people the Brooklyn Bridge. The person who does the buying does not end up owning the bridge, because the person who "sold" it did not have the rights to sell it.

This being said I do not believe that selling your soul is harmless and should be done. The selling of your soul is a large act against your soul and spirituality. Through this you would incur negative karma. You would risk putting a block in place between you and your higher self for many life times, until you cleared the karma.

However, I doubt that anyone selling there soul is a spiritual person. Anyone who is on the path to finding their truth will likely know better than to try and sell their soul.

Roll up the Rim to Greed

Today's post is going to be a little different. I want to post on an event that is happening and the spiritual impact of it on those involved.

As most Canadian's will know, every year Tim Horton's (likely our largest coffee donut shop) hold a contest called Roll up the Rim to Win. Last week a girl found a cup in the garbage that had not been check. She tried to roll up the rim but could not. She then asked a friend to help her. It turns out the cup won, and not a small prize but one of the grand prizes, an SUV. Now the girls families are fighting over who should get the SUV. Then as can be expected people are stepping forward saying that the cup was theirs. Now I'm not going to go into who I think has a claim and who does not, that just adds to the negative energies involved, but that does bring me to the point I'd like to make.

This situation demonstrates how many people let greed and materialism control their lives. It is a very hard thing to fight against, how many of us would not fight over a $30,000 prize? But in doing so, we incur karma. Karma in that increases our connection to this the physical world and to physical things. Karma against the other family the people that we are attacking both in action and in thought. In all likely hood these two groups have been fighting over something for many past lives and will continue until at least one of those involved breaks the cycle.

If we are to grow spiritual we must learn to let go of our material wants, that doesn't mean we don't buy a house for our family it means that we see it for what it is; a physical dwelling to protect our family. It is not a status symbol or something to be treasured.

There are also a lot of people, who are talking about this, and I have been guilty of this, but I am working my way out. By talking about it I don't mean like I am now, but with judgement. Deciding who is right and who is wrong. When we case a judgement on someone or something we create what is call a thought form. A thought form is an energy that contains our judgements and that attacks those we judge, but it also attacks us, maybe not at the moment but it will come back, as we are incurring Karma. Once we create the thought we feed it and it grows; sometimes, like in this case, other join us in similar thoughts and their thought forms join with ours to make a more powerful thought form. It continues to grow as more and more people start feeding it. This is the reason why it can be so hard not to get swept up into mob mentality or public opinion. The thought forms can become so large that people get trapped in them.

We must be care what we thing, because despite what you might think, just because you don't say something doesn't mean it does do any harm. It is our thoughts that give life to the thought forms not our words. It is a hard thing to do, recognize when you are having negative thoughts, but as you catch yourself, realise that the are negative and do not feed them. Over time, maybe a long time, you will teach yourself that these thoughts are not acceptable to you and you won’t start down that path at all.

We should also consider what this is teaching those two young girls. If we want our children to be spiritual we must make sure we teach them the right things. For me that doesn't mean teaching my son to believe what I believe on a spiritual level but to show them what is right and wrong, acceptable and unacceptable through my actions. Let’s not teach our children that greed is OK and material things are what matters.

The Psychic Body

In yesterdays post I briefly mentioned the psychic body. The psychic body is one the three spiritual elements of who we are. The soul or the higher self is at the top and the psychic body is the first structure above our physical bodies.

Our psychic bodies act as the direct supporting structure of our body. It is created when we are conceived that grows and develops into childhood. During this time the past lives and karma that are to be dealt with in this life are "downloaded" from our mental self. This is one of the reasons why childhood can be such a traumatic time for a lot of people.

When we die if we do not let go of this life it is your psychic body that remains behind trapped here. These psychic bodies that remain on earth are what people call Ghosts; the term I have been taught is discarnate. Ideally when we die, we let go and our psychic body is integrated back into the mental and higher self.

All our illnesses, diseases, emotions, injuries, mental illnesses and negative events are directly linked to our psychic body and the karma and past lives within it. All of these things can be instantaneously healed, but finding the route cause of the illness, that past live, and releasing it / obtain a healing. In this way there are no incurable diseases. It is also here where we store the experiences of this life, positive or negative.

I have also mentioned sub-astrals previously and, made reference to them attaching themselves to you. It is to your psychic body that the sub-astrals attach themselves. I post at some point in the future more on sub-astrals; I think they warrant their own posting.

Again your psychic body is much more complex than outlined here. The purpose of this post, the previous post and like the next couple is to set the ground work for further discussion. I need to first outline what your spiritual self is, then I will get into how we can interact with it.

Do We Have a Soul

Many people question if we have a soul or not and many people have tried to explain what a soul is. It is my belief that we do have a soul and when we die that soul lives on and at some point in the future may be reborn into the world. The key statement there is maybe reborn. This leads to two questions, when it will happen and what if it doesn’t.

The when is a hard question to answer. I know you are not going to like my initial answer which is, it depends. The timing of rebirth is first dependant on the advancement of the soul. Younger or less advanced souls cannot control when or how they are to reincarnate back into this world. Old or more advanced souls can select not only when they will reincarnate but the situation that they will reincarnate to, choosing their parents.

Not returning to this world can result from two scenarios. The first and more desirable one is that the soul had advanced beyond this world, or at least to the point where it can now live indefinitely on the higher dimensions. The second possibility is that the soul has degraded to a point where it is no longer capable of being a soul. In this case the soul is returned, to where again will be covered later.

Now the Older/Younger implies that souls are created and obviously not all at the same time. Souls are constantly being created, being lost and not returning. The age of the soul does not directly determine its advancement. However age does play a part, as a young soul can not be advanced because it does not have the experiences that are required. Alternatively, just because a soul is old does not make it advanced. A soul’s advancement goes up and down based on its experiences. It is possible that when you die you are less advanced than when you were born.

After all this and I still haven't said what a soul is. The soul is an energy being. It is this being that it our higher self, these terms are interchangeable. I have heard to it referred to as our Christ self. If we can make contact to our soul there is very little we can not do. We can instantly resolve Karma and past-life issue and we can even alter our physical body. It is this connection that allowed Jesus to walk on water and perform some of his other "miracles".

Now you may think, this is great, I'll just connect with my soul and things will be great. What is missing from all this are the two levels that are in place between our soul and our bodies: the Mental self and Psychic Body. Both of these contain our past life experiences and karma and it is these that block us from interacting with our soul directly.

As you can see this topic is very large. Over time I will develop these concepts further and introduce new ones.

Energy

Energy is something that a lot spiritual people talk about. They talk about Light and Dark, or Good and Bad, or Positive and Negative energy. So what is energy what does this term mean? What makes energy good or bad?

I don't believe that energy can be good or bad. It can do good or bad things or have good or bad affects but energy itself is neither good nor bad by nature. That being said there are beneficial and harmful energy. I use the terms Positive and Negative energy.

Positive energy is of high frequency. It is the energy of the higher dimensions or planes (what ever term you want to use). It is the energy that fills us when we feel love and joy. It is the energy that protect, heals and teaches us. It is the energy of our soul or higher self. It is also the energies of these higher planes that support our physical universe.

Negative energy is of low frequency. It is the energy of the lower dimensions. It is the energy that fills us when we feel hate and anger. It is the energy that drains our soul and degrades our spiritual journey. It is the energy of what we think of as hell.

At every energy level or dimension there are "living" things, of various intelligence. In general the more "intelligent" the higher the energy, but its not really that simple. When we are touched by beings from higher dimensions we feel joy and love; these beings we call Angles or similar terms. When we are touched by a being from a lower dimension we feel hate and anger; these beings we call Demons, I use the term Negative Energy Beings or Sub-Astrals.

A lot of what is here is fairly vague. Some of the concepts I am more comfortable with ten others. I will post more in depth on many of the topics I touched on here. If there are specific ones you are interested in let me know. If not I will write what ever hits me at the moment.

The Truth

A lot of religious go on that they will tell you the truth or show you the path. My belief is that no one can teach the one true path. I don't believe that at the level of spiritual development that we are at on this world that we can even truly understand the whole "Truth".

Now this might sound confusing coming from someone who has their own spiritual blog. You might ask "Are you not trying to tell us the truth?" The answer is no, I am not here to say what I say here is the "Truth".

Here I will tell you "My Truth". I believe that this is what we need to find in this world/life. We must find our own truths and not the truths that we are told to follow. Now in some of my posts this may appear to be what I am doing, but I will state now that all that is posted here is my truth. My hope is that some will learn from what I have to say and it will help them find their truth. I also hope to have many comments that will challenge what I have to say and ask questions. In that I hope to find the holes and mistakes in my truth. In this way we will all become close to the real "Truth"
