When ever I hear spiritual people talking the talk about how the world is coming into a new age of enlightenment and positive energy. Over the past few years look out on the world it appeared the opposite was true. There was more war and fighting in the world than I had ever recalled. But was yesterday the turning point?
Many people viewed the former president of the US as someone who stood against peace and caused more conflict than he stopped or prevented. He was view by many as a source of evil and not good. I for one will not judge Bush as good or evil. I believe that he governed through some very difficult times and I have to believe that he did what he thought was right.
However, yesterday the US got a new leader. One who is viewed in a much better light around the world. He brings with him a promise of change; change for the better. Is this a sign that the world is trying to change. Trying to bring a more positive energy into the world and let it reign? I would like to believe is.
However, Obama will face difficult times as well. Economically the US and world are in a bad place and appear to be getting worse. People are expect that he will be able to fix everything. All the mistakes they believe have occurred in the last ten years and that he will make the US strong again.
Is this realistic. He is after all one man. He does have a lot of influence but he cannot fix everything that is wrong. We must all stand up and take responsibility for our place and move ourselves forward and not rely on others. This could be the dawn of a new age for the world, but it is not because of one man and can not be realized by one man. It will take us all.

The Holiday Season
As we approach the end of a year many people will be celebrating holidays. One in particular is that of Christmas. Christmas is generally accepted to be a Christian holiday one to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is my option that this holiday has long since grown out of being a Christian holiday and has become a societal holiday, much like Halloween. This is not to say that people do not hold a religious connection to the holiday. Among Christian faiths it is still very much a faith based holiday. Many attend mass and celebrate the birth of their saviour.
One does not, however, have to look far to see that this holiday has grown well beyond being faith bases. The icon that represent this holiday, for the most part, is not the child said to born on 25th of December day, but a fat man in a red suit. Santa or Santa Clause, notice that even the religious ties to this figure have been removed, represents many things. Many of these things are good; like sharing and giving. But he also represents the commercialization of the season and bribery. Not things any faith would want to be connected to.
In our family we do celebrate Christmas. We exchange presents, but each year the best ones are the ones that produce the biggest laughs. It is a time for us to get together with family, have fun and laugh. It is a time to put focus on those that need our help and to give them a hand. This for me is the true meaning of the holidays. The things that our friend Mister Scrooge kept in his heart all year.
So this year, take a moment for the business of this time of year and think about what Christmas means to you and your family. What message you are presenting to the children in your family. Is this a time for giving or receiving or neither? Is it a time to come together with your family? Is this a time for help those less fortunate? In these things you will find the true spirit of the season. So I send you best wishes this season and hope that we can all keep good thoughts in out minds, thoughts of love not of the things we will get and give.

State of the World Follow-up
Since my last post I have discussed this issue with a few people. Although I still think the points made are valid there are some counter points that came up that as equally valid.
The biggest point that was made was that in order to facilitate change that made by things need to get bad. If my last post was correct that there was a large number of people that were lower energy then maybe something need to happen to change the world. The fact is that we have a very high population. Maybe at this point there is not enough higher developed souls to support that population. That would mean that in order for the Earth to progress spiritually that there would be a need to cut the worlds population drastically. Today's political and environmental state seems to be pushing us in that direction.
The other item that is interesting to ask is how many higher energy people does it take to effect change? Can a few dedicated spiritual peoples off set a large number of lower energy people.
My main issue was that many spiritual people believe that we are entering a time of good spiritual energy for the earth and that people will become more spiritual in this time. Today there appears to be more people who are not affiliated with an organized religion or are not devout followers. Is this the start of the change? There are more spiritual book and stores than ever before but is just servicing the few or is this a sign that the majority is changing.
If we are venturing into a new Spiritual age is the turmoil we are seeing now just a response to that change. Many people are resistant to change and will settle back into what is familiar. When their surroundings no longer make sense to them they tend to panic and strike out.
So is the world spiraling down or transitioning for the great climb ahead?

The Good, the Bad and the Neutral
A while back I talked about a person who emailed me with some questions regarding an entity that they were in contact with. A few emails went back and forth and a few more important facts came out. Now some of this may be in previous posts but I there are some new items here that are important.
The first thing to note is that entities or spirits do not only fall into the Good/Positive and Bad/Negative categories. There are Neutral entities or those that are not trying to cause you harm and not trying or able to help you. Most of the Neutral entities are earth bound souls or ghosts. They remain behind for some reason or another, sometimes they do so in attempt to help a loved one who is still living.
This ghost maybe someone that the living person would recognize as a loved one or might be a loved one from a past life that they have no knowledge of; in the end it really doesn't make a big difference. These ghosts are in no real position to help the living and it fact it is the ghost itself that is in need of help.
The ghost or soul that has remained behind is not an advanced soul. If it was advanced it would have moved on and reincarnated into a new person so that its learning can continue. In order for us to heal our karma from our past lives we must do so living in the same dimension or plane that the karma was created. In most cases this means living. Work can be done in the afterlife to setup such healings but ultimately they have to be done here. What this means is that the ghost is not healing or progressing in anyway. They are stagnating in their spiritual progress. The best thing that you can do is to direct them to cross over so they con continue their journey.
Good entities or those in a position to help will very rarely do so directly. Some advanced souls living on earth can communicate with these souls. The good souls have an understanding of the universe and know that the only one who can truly heal someone is that person themselves. They can help direct you to that healing but it is up to that person to do so themselves.
Negative entities have no interest in your spiritual development. They are however the ones most likely to communicate with the living. They may tell you things and "appear" to be helping you but in fact this is not their goal and rarely the outcome of their help.
As you can see, since the spirit you are in contact with is unlikely to be a Positive entity asking them to leave is almost always the right thing to do. If you are in contact with a Positive entity then you will be spiritual advanced enough to know and if you have any question what so ever in your mind, then it is not a Positive entity.

Sending Bad Things Away
I received a comment a short time ago from someone who had a spirit guide who was causing them pain. I wanted to post my reply as it is very important.
If you have an entity that is causing you pain, it is a good indication that this is not a "good" spirit or at least one that is not in a position to help you. Some times spirits think they can help the living when they are not in a position to. There are spirits that can help, but they would never hurt you.
So I hope that is clear, a helpful spirit will never hurt or threaten you. So what do you do to get rid of an entity that is causing you harm, the first thing I recommend is the direct route. Tell them directly to go away, that they are not suppose to be here. Depending on if you feel it is a misdirected soul or an evil entity should direct how you tell him. If it is an evil soul, I would say something "I am of light, go back to where you came." The "I am of the light" should set you in the right place, use it to lift you spirit up and give you the strength. If it is a misdirected soul I would try and direct them to the higher planes where they can get help and if needed (which is likely) reincarnate. Direct him to move on into the light.
The two most important this to remember is that a good soul, one that is in a position to help you will never cause you harm and that you have it within yourself to send any unwanted entity away.

Energy Flow
Most people even if they don't know it can feel their energy. They know when they have it and know when they don't. Even if the symptoms are just feeling tired. But there is more to energy than having or not; energy flows around us and through us. It would seem logical that if you collect or having energy flowing to you that this would be a good thing. However, the opposite is true. It is not healthy or desirable for energy to be flowing in wards. When it is you are much more susceptible to external forces, negative energy and entities. After all isn't it much easier to swim up stream than it is down stream?
The best thing is to have energy flowing outward. It should flow through you from the spiritual realms and out into the world. This way the positive energies not only benefit you but those around you. Part of being positive and having good energy is sharing that energy to the world and in the process become a source of healing for others.
If you can feel the energy flows around you, I recommend closing your eyes and doing a quick test. how do you feel when you are pulling energy in from your surrounding and how do you feel when you are allowing the spiritual energies to flow through you and out into the world. I can promise you that the latter will feel much better.

What is Good?
In my last post I was questioning the balance of universe and I happy that I touched a cord in a couple of readers. To continue this I have the question what is Good and what is Evil. In may religions it is rather simple; there are rules written down that tell you what you are suppose to do and what you are not allowed to do.
I think however that reality does not match the simple black and white, words in print answer. So I ask you what do you think determine what is good and what is bad?
One could argue that killing is not bad. After all by killing someone are you not releasing their soul either to their god or to what ever other world you might believe in? Most people believe that we are better off in the after life than we are here so isn't killing someone just like buying them a nice vacation?
On the other side one could argue that killing is bad. That you are not only physically harming the person but also potential harming their soul and most would agree you are harming your own. You are robbing them of all the things they could have experienced had they lived.
Does the universe understand good and evil? Are we better off in the after life for having been "good". I do believe we are. I do believe that our actions impact us on a spiritual level, but if this is the case how is good and bad determined? There has to be more than what's written in a book. But, I guess in the end it come down to each persons beliefs and faith.
The universal truth is out there, but are we ready to see it?
