It Is Impossible To Be Separated From God

 

Before the universe began God had a plan. It had no imperfections and it contained a unique safeguard that would always help us remember our divine heritage and cosmic purpose.

 

When we left the realm of the Absolute, All That Is gave us the power and free will to create anything we wanted.

 

But the use of these gifts was to be tempered with the love in our hearts.

 

As free spirits roaming and exploring the universe, we were reminded that our consciousnesses should always be centered on our Source and that we should co-create with Mother/Father God.

 

There would be challenges along the way. At times the world of the opposites would be filled with the Light; at other times it would be cloaked in darkness.

 

There was a chance of forgetting our God-centeredness, and in doing so, lose our way.

 

This drift from God-consciousness is called separation and the root cause of it is ego-mindedness and self-centeredness.

 

The further we drift the more we separate. In the process, we are likely to experience personal imbalances because of it.

 

There have been some in our history who have drifted quite a bit. It does not matter. God loves them all without condition.

 

No matter how far we might veer off the path there will come a time when separation is so unbearable it will be impossible to endure.

 

That is a profound moment of truth and awakening.

 

When it arrives, we'll fall to our knees and unashamedly pray to God for help.

 

Without fail the help will come. And it will be immediate.

 

It is impossible to be separated from God forever.

 

There Are Only Two Emotions In The Universe

 

When we left the Absolute as spirit forms to explore and experience the universe, we knew that we would have feelings about things.

 

We were also told that every choice we made could be traced back to either love or fear.

 

Each of these two root emotions would be the starting point for all experience, feeling, understanding, and appreciation.

 

Here are some examples.

 

The act of forgiveness is ultimately an act of love.

 

The feelings of bliss and excitement that come from romance originate with the love between the two partners.

 

The birth of a child created from such a relationship is a source of immense joy, all which is traceable to the love of the two souls who chose to bring a precious life into this planet.

 

Fear is just the opposite.

 

Anger is an extension of fear.

 

We can be angry and bitter with someone because we fear their wrath and abuse.

 

This anger can lead to hatred, feelings of vengeance or, worse yet, violence.

 

Again, all of it stems from the root emotion of fear.

 

What are some of the feelings that fall into the domain of love?

 

Compassion, forgiveness, joy, bliss, generosity, patience, tolerance, understanding, gentleness, respect, honor and the like all have their source in the emotion of love.

 

What are those that can be linked to fear? Hatred, greed, violence, jealousy, selfishness, anger, bitterness, self-gratification, control, and deception are just a few.

 

In a world of opposites, we are also able to compare these emotions, see how they feel, and make our choices accordingly.

 

Each choice we make ultimately creates a feeling of love or fear, all of which serves as a valuable reference point that can bring us further into to the Light or deeper into the darkness.

 

The Universe Is A World Of Opposites

 

The principle of "duality" was a very important part of the creation process.

 

What it means is that for every experience and feeling available to us there would be an opposite for it.

 

For cold there is hot, for joy there is sadness, for excitement there is boredom, for male there is female, for pain there is ecstasy, for darkness there is light, for silence there is sound, for love there is fear, for health there is sickness, and so on.

 

There is incredible wisdom behind this principle.

 

How could we relate to or appreciate anything unless there was an opposite experience or feeling to compare it to?

 

And, in order to evolve spiritually and have an understanding of all things, we must experience all the different aspects of life, good and bad. In other words, we have to be all things before we leave the confines of planet Earth and move on to life in a higher dimension.

 

Ultimately, the world of the opposites helps us make the highest choices and guides us to the Light. We do this by experiencing and feeling the results of all of our decisions.

 

Our lesser choices must be blessed because they can serve as valuable reference points for us.

 

If a lesser choice is made, we should not be harsh on ourselves. There is no right or wrong in God's universe, just learning and growing. And we must always try to remember to love ourselves as God loves us.

 

Unconditionally.

 

The truths described above begin to give us a real sense of the universe in which we live, who we are, and what life is really about. No matter where we are or what we do they can be used to help us become greater and grander versions of ourselves.

 

In addition to the Truths that were put into place the moment our universe was born, another divine creation took place. It was a system of love and justice that would also apply anywhere lost souls could be found so that they could find their way back to God-centeredness. That system of personal salvation is reincarnation and karma. And it is in effect right here on planet Earth.

Reincarnation and Your Past Lives

"How many times have you been reborn?" I asked. "Have all of them been here in this environment, the earth or elsewhere as well?"

"No," she answered, "not all here."

"What other planes, what other places, do you go to?"

"I have not finished what I have to do here. I cannot move on until I have experienced all of life, and I have not. There will be many lifetimes…to fulfill all of the agreements and all of the debts that are owed.

 

~ Brian L. Weiss, M.D.

Many Lives, Many Masters

 

The karma-reincarnation cycle is a fair and just way for us to regain our God-centeredness, balance and realign ourselves, remember who we really are, and return to the Light. In order to do so, our lost souls have to take responsibility for the lesser choices we've made in the physical world. All past transgressions incurred during our current and previous lives will have to be reconciled and healed with forgiveness and unconditional love.

 

In order for reincarnation to work, our fallen spirits have to be, experience, and feel all things over the course of many lifetimes. What this means is that we have the opportunity to play different roles during each incarnation. In the process, we would experience being wealthy, poor, male, female, beautiful, not so glamorous, addicted, a gifted artist, a humble shoemaker, politician, thief, prostitute, beggar, king, and so much more. Just take a look at the world around us to see the many different roles we can chose to live through. And there is great wisdom behind this approach.

 

God knew that the feelings derived from these different life experiences would ultimately lead to greater understanding. Our new-found understanding paves the way for compassion, which in turn brings out the forgiveness in us. Once we are able to forgive, unconditional love begins to unfold in out hearts. Slowly but surely, our divine awareness and natural state of God-centeredness is restored over the course of many lifetimes.

 

Here is a brief example of how this works. How could we not develop understanding and compassion for someone who is addicted to smoking unless we also went through the same experience? I understand this principle first hand. I was heavily addicted to cigarettes for much of my adult life. Then, in 1995, I walked away from them and never looked back. Today, when I see someone smoking, I truly understand what he or she is going through. And I have nothing but understanding, compassion, and love for what each is experiencing.

 

One of the most important aspects of reincarnation is that we are the ones who choose the role we want to play during each of our incarnations. Nothing is forced upon us and it is never a form of punishment. Sometimes we choose challenging roles so that we have the opportunity to grow and evolve at a quicker pace. Other times we might decide to take a rest and have a smoother set of circumstances in life. There are also those who make lesser choices and go on to experience and feel that way of life. And no matter what we choose, Father/Mother God loves us unconditionally. There is no right or wrong in Their universe; only learning, growing, and becoming and grander version of who we are.

 

The next time you see an individual with one arm or is following the guidance of a seeing-eye dog it may very well be that he chose to experience a lifetime missing that limb or eyesight. Why? Because in a previous lifetime he may have taken someone else's arm or sight in a fit of rage and anger. Now, with great courage, this same individual has chosen to balance that karma by experiencing and feeling what it is like to have a missing limb or go through life without the benefit of sight, in order to heal a past transgression.

 

The great Wheel of Life is where we find ourselves today. We are lost. We have forgotten who we really are. Many births, lives, deaths, and in-between lives have come and gone for us over the ages. Through it all we have always been given the opportunity to make choices that are based upon love or those that are rooted in fear. Although many have made considerable progress over the ages, relatively few in our fallen soul group have made the kinds of choices required to leave the three-dimensional world. And we will continue with this reincarnational drama until each of us is ready to graduate to the next plane of existence and adventure.

 

Today, two thirds of all the people living on planet Earth believe in the concept of past lives. Those who feel they have one life to live now find themselves in a steadily declining minority, as the Eastern-based view of reincarnation continues to make more and more of its presence felt throughout the Western world. If one brings an open mind and unbiased interpretation to its simple principles, it will not take long to appreciate the reasons for its growing popularity. And for your journey as a soul, it means you have had other family members, friends, and lovers in previous lifetimes who may very well be with you now.

 

When I first started reading about reincarnation, I discovered that the concept of past lives was centuries older than the Christian religion I was raised with. To briefly understand its place in history, one has to begin with Hinduism, the world's oldest religion, whose roots can be traced back several thousands of years before the Bible was written.

 

Over the ages various teachings were blended into the ancient Hindu religious beliefs, especially those of the Vedas, which occurred about thirty-five hundred years ago. Then, approximately six-hundred years before the birth of Christ, the traditional concept of reincarnation surfaced in India with the divinely inspired Upanishad writings. These sacred works of wisdom on the nature of reality and the soul continued to mold and define the Hindu religion and philosophy. Over the centuries, a blend of these beliefs has evolved into a spiritual philosophy and way of life for the Indian people of today.

 

These same spiritual teachings spread into what is now China and became a part of their Taoism. Over time the belief in reincarnation reached the Middle East and then flourished in southern Europe where it became an important part of Greek theology. Many seekers of truth in that country found themselves drawn to its honest possibilities including Socrates, Plato, and his student, Aristotle, all of whom spoke of its virtues hundreds of years before Jesus was born.

 

The Roman dictator, Julius Caesar, who died 44 years before the arrival of the great teacher, Jesus, is known to have stated: "Souls do not become extinct, but pass after death from one body to another." Even the Jewish sects of the Pharisees and the Essenes, who played an important role in Jesus' life, continued to be firm believers in reincarnation more than a hundred years after he passed on.

 

None of this historical information is based upon speculation. A few hours of research in any decent library will tell you the same things.

 

In that same library, one can also discover how the belief of reincarnation was eventually banned approximately 500 years after Jesus' death. When he left us, there was no Roman Catholic Church in place. All that existed was a scattered collection of his followers and the simple teachings he left behind. Over the next two to three centuries, early Christianity constantly struggled to define itself and the beliefs it would stand for. In spite of it all, reincarnation was still widely accepted by many of the respected Church fathers such as St. Clement of Alexandria, Origen, St. Gregory, and St. Augustine. During this same period of time, the Christian dogma of "one life" did not exist. Nor is there any evidence that Jesus taught this belief while he walked among us.

How did the one-life dogma originate? It happened towards the end of the fourth century when it was brought into existence by powerful and influential politicians and men of the cloth. During those days, popes came into control through political appointment by the Roman emperors. The rulers wanted to keep peace among their oppressed, over-taxed citizens, and they saw how this could be accomplished through the emerging Christian religion. The popes sided with these rulers because it gave them more influence and power. As a result, a religious-political marriage was formed for purposes of control which, in turn insured the existence of the church-state union. But there was a problem. Christianity, and the teachings it was based upon, was highly fragmented at that time.

 

During the end of the fourth century there was a great deal of disagreement among the different Christian sects and factions, with little of it reflecting the purity of Jesus' message of love for us. Many warring camps existed with different ideas about what this new religion should be. And when many of the Christian church leaders lost their spiritual rudders, the original scriptures and the teachings of Jesus they contained became more and more distorted.

 

In order to remedy these problems, the Roman Emperor, Constantine, his successor, Theodosious, and some of the less desirable church leaders of that time decided to band together and create new religious teachings. The purpose was to take all of the loosely organized religious and historic beliefs that existed and consolidate them. Over the years new doctrines were issued. They claimed that we were separate from God, we had just one life to live, when we died we went to heaven or hell, and that the only way to save ourselves was through the church. One can easily see how self-serving these man-made laws were and they continue on through today.

 

In the Catholic Encyclopedia, one can also learn that during the year 553 A.D. the Roman Emperor, Justinian, called the Fifth Ecumenical Council of Constantinople into order, with the express purpose of condemning reincarnation. This is how it was done. A total of 15 anathemas were created. Think of them as condemnations that could result in persecution or death. The first anathema was "if anyone assert the fabulous pre-existence of the souls (reincarnation), and shall assert monstrous restoration which follows from it, let him be anathema."

 

From that point forward the belief in reincarnation was forbidden. Individuals who refused to abide by this new law were persecuted or killed. The Vatican's subsequent campaign of terror and slaughter lasted until the 13th century when the last vestige of reincarnation was finally wiped out. And they have done a good job of keeping it that way…until recently.

 

Through my readings, I was amazed to discover that a strong foundation of credible, scientific evidence for reincarnation already exists. This body of support has been carefully woven together through many years of painstaking investigation by a noted American psychiatrist, Dr. Ian Stevenson. Few realize that the first of his many books, Cases of the Reincarnation Type, Volume I: Ten Cases in India, received favorable reviews by the American Medical Association for the quality of research that was conducted and the conclusions reached by Dr. Stevenson. Their formal statement was "In regard to reincarnation he [Stevenson] has painstakingly and unemotionally collected a detailed series of cases from India, cases in which the evidence is difficult to explain on any other grounds"—Journal of the American Medical Association.

 

What would you do if your 4-year old child came up to you and spontaneously spoke a foreign language? What if that language was Indian, which the child was never exposed to? What if that same child provided many details about a previous life he or she had experienced in India and was strongly drawn to the events being described?

 

Imagine that out of concern you made an appointment to discuss your child's unusual behavior with a psychiatrist at the University of Virginia Medical School whose name was Dr. Ian Stevenson. You discover while chatting with his assistant that in 1943 Dr. Stevenson graduated at the head of his medical class from the prestigious McGill University in Montreal. Years later, when 39 years of age, he became Head of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia Medical School where he eventually gave up his distinguished administrative career to do full time research.

 

His assistant also tells you that over the past 40 years he devoted his professional life to the study of reincarnation. During that time he scientifically documented past life memories in more than three thousand cases from all over the world, many of whom were children.

 

During your visit with Dr. Stevenson, you learn that your child's behavior is nothing to be concerned about. He describes how he has investigated many hundreds of such experiences and that the young eventually grow out of their past life memories. He also tells you that he has worked with a large number of children who spontaneously remember where they lived during their past life, what town their house was in, the names of their parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, friends, and so on. They also often remember when and how they died.

 

You continue to listen with amazement as Dr. Stevenson describes his trips to India, Lebanon, Brazil, Alaska, Turkey, Syria, Europe, the United States, Thailand, Ceylon, Burma, and Canada to verify the statements of these children. He explains that this is typically accomplished by examining past medical records, death certificates, and other public documents of the deceased individuals the children claimed they were. This public information is then supplemented through interviews with family members and friends of the departed souls.

 

Dr. Stevenson goes on to say that, in general, there is usually a period of approximately five years before a deceased individual passes on and is re-born again. Calmly, he tells you that most of the past life stories can be verified, often down to the tiniest detail. You are shocked to discover that although some discrepancies are associated with these cases they only occur with a frequency of just ten percent. In other words, the children's statements about their past lives are accurate ninety percent of the time!

 

Then, Dr. Stevenson tells you something that raises your eyebrows even further. While sitting at the edge of your chair, he describes his work with children who not only remember their past lives quite accurately, but have prominent, pigmented birthmarks or birth defects on their bodies. He then mentions that this research was published during 1997 under the title, Reincarnation and Biology, Vol.1: Birthmarks and Vol. 2: Birth Defects and Other Anomalies.

 

The strangely birth-marked children told Dr. Stevenson that the defects were caused by wounds suffered during their previous lives. Forty-nine such cases were studied in detail. Common to all was a near perfect match in past life details given by the young child for the deceased person each recalled being. In ninety-six percent of these cases, a very close correspondence could be found between the birthmarks or birth defects on each child and the wounds on the departed individual. All of this was verified by a review of medical documents such as post-mortem reports for each past life case, as well as through other sources.

 

You are surprised to discover that aside from the positive review the American Medical Association gave to Dr. Stevenson's findings there has been little reaction to his research from the scientific and public community of the Western World. You ask him why. He tells you that he suspects his discoveries fly in the face of the one-life Christian belief, which is a so ingrained in our religious culture.

 

You thank Dr. Stevenson for his time. While walking to your car, you realize in your heart that that he is a courageous seeker of the truth who is providing humanity with information that can have a profound effect on how they view the world.

 

On the way home from the doctor's office you stop at a local New Age, metaphysical bookstore. While glancing through the shelves, you see a book called, Only Love is Real. The author is Dr. Brian Weiss, who received his psychiatric training at Yale University School of Medicine. Like Dr. Stevenson he also served many years as a departmental Chairman of Psychiatry, his being at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami, Florida. You don't realize it at the time, but Dr. Weiss is the author of many scientific articles, and is a nationally recognized expert in substance abuse, brain chemistry, and Alzheimer's disease.

 

After glancing at the back cover and thumbing through the pages you discover that Dr. Weiss wrote an earlier book titled Many Lives, Many Masters. Reading on you learn that it has been translated into more than 20 languages and read by more than 2 million people throughout the world. It was a very powerful true to life story about a physician and his patient that took place during the early 1980s.

 

This remarkable experience involved a twenty-seven year old woman named "Catherine," who started describing past lives to Dr. Weiss while using hypnosis as a last resort to cure her fears, phobias, panic attacks, and depression. Much to his amazement she described her former lives while in trance, several of which included severe, traumatic events. It turned out that the memories of those terrible experiences led to the serious fears she brought forth into this lifetime. Dr. Weiss eventually discovered that Catherine's phobias could be cured if she relived those terrifying experiences while regressed. Remarkably, none of this healing therapy required medication.

 

It took many years for Dr. Weiss to go public with this story. Understandably, he was concerned about its effects on his professional career. As a solid scientist, he realized that a single case history does not add up to meaningful data in the scientific world. And, needless to say, the subject matter was highly controversial.

 

However, an astonishing event occurred during one of Catherine's sessions that stunned Dr. Weiss. It convinced him that a very profound experience and defining moment in his career and personal life was taking place in his office. And it was something that would irreversibly turn his world upside down and forever change the way he looked at things.

 

During one of her many therapeutic sessions, Catherine was regressed to an in-between-life state of mind. While there she announced that two members of Dr. Weiss' family, both of whom had passed on during his current lifetime, were present. She went on to say that:

 

"Your father is here, and your son, who is a small child. Your father says you will know him because his name is Avrom and your daughter is named after him. Also, his death was due to his heart. Your son's heart was also important, for it was backward, like a chicken's. He made a great sacrifice for you out of his love. His soul is very advanced…his death satisfied his parent's debts. Also, he wanted to show you that medicine could only go so far, that its scope is very limited."

 

Dr. Weiss was totally dumbfounded after hearing those words because there was no possible way for his patient to know these facts. This was especially true for the unexpected death of his first-born son who died when he was twenty-three days old. His tragic death resulted from complications suffered as a result of a rare birth defect when he was born with reversed blood vessels to the heart, because of its backwards orientation similar to the heart of a chicken.

 

Losing his child was the greatest tragedy in Dr. Weiss's life. And, in a fatherly way, I can relate to his grief and profound agony because I almost lost my infant son due to a serious illness. He asked Catherine, "Who tells you these things?" She whispered, "The Masters… the Master Spirits tell me."

 

Years later this courageous physician would go on to perform more than one thousand past life regressions on other patients. Because of its great success as a therapeutic tool for troubled souls, he eventually founded the Weiss Institute, which provides therapeutic regression analysis for outpatients and hosts regular seminars for the lay public and medical professionals alike.

 

While all of that was going on, Dr. Weiss could not anticipate another extraordinary event that would make its way into his life many years after his first experience with Catherine. His belief in past lives would be expanded by a highly unusual soulmate reunion that took place while practicing therapy on two of his patients. And it formed the basis of his third book, Only Love is Real.

 

It all began one day when an attractive young woman named Elizabeth visited Dr. Weiss' office seeking professional help. She was very distressed because grief, anxiety, and sleep disorder problems were preventing her from leading a normal life. After reading Many Lives, Many Masters she believed that past life regression analysis could help resolve her medical issues. She also hoped a review of her past lives might improve the quality of her relationships with men. As she began to relive her former lives while under Dr. Weiss's hypnotic guidance, he recorded the details of the many events she revealed week after week in his office.

 

At the same time another patient named Pedro was suffering from medical problems similar to Elizabeth's. He too was undergoing past life regression therapy with Dr. Weiss. While this was taking place, both patients had never met before and their weekly appointments were always on different days. Like Elizabeth, Pedro also shared the detailed experiences of his many lives with Dr. Weiss.

 

As he delved deeper and deeper into their past life experiences, Dr. Weiss began to notice something very peculiar. Even though he had treated family members over the years who recalled sharing former lives together, never did he have a case where two unrelated patients found themselves together during former pastimes.

 

Over time Dr. Weiss began to notice a number of stunning similarities in the lives that Elizabeth and Pedro were describing. Each was remarkably consistent in detail, including lifetimes as childhood sweethearts, father and daughter, and husband and wife. As he began to thread the pieces of their earlier times together, he soon realized that these two souls had been lovers during their previous lives and had lost one another over the ages. He was both astonished and dumbfounded by this discovery.

 

Dr. Weiss wondered what to do with this incredible information. Here were two perfect strangers who had been on and off lovers for as long as two thousand years! Should he tell them? Should he introduce them to one another? Would it be professionally appropriate to do so?

 

While struggling with this dilemma, he came up with a brilliant solution to test their possible past life connection. He arranged to have Elizabeth finish one of her future appointments while Pedro was waiting in Dr. Weiss' outer office for his session to begin. When they passed one another the first time, nothing unusual happened. The second time this occurred there appeared to be noticeable exchange of energy through eye contact and friendly smiles. But that was as far as it went.

 

At the time Dr. Weiss didn't realize that all soul mate reunions, regardless of circumstances, are predestined to happen. Both partners plan their meeting prior to incarnating, as part of their life drama. When in body, our angelic spirit guides and the effects of synchronous events in our lives assure that our plans fall into place, as if by magic.

 

Soon after their initial contact in Dr. Weiss' office, both Elizabeth and Pedro arranged to make business trips to Boston, never realizing the other was doing the same thing. While at the airport, Elizabeth's Boston-bound plane was delayed because of mechanical problems. In order to keep to her busy schedule, she was switched to another flight; the same plane Pedro was to take.

 

While both were waiting to board the plane, Pedro caught sight of Elizabeth and this time he could not take his eyes from her. He was swept away with an overpowering sense of soul recognition that was beyond his control. As his eyes met Elizabeth's, spontaneous memories were unleashed from their past lives together, and a rush of profound "knowingness" awakened in both of them that was instantaneous, overwhelming, and unmistakable. He walked up to Elizabeth and introduced himself. She smiled. Within moments, the hearts and souls of these two lovers from former lives had touched once again.

 

How does the drama of past lives work? Moments after passing on the real you, the eternal you, "pops" out of your physical body. To your amazement, you'll find yourself inside a lighter form similar to the one just shed, but as you looked during your prime. You'll be as conscious as you were prior to death, but with far greater awareness. After passing through a tunnel of exquisite light deceased family members and friends will greet you on the other side. And the grandest reunion of all will be with your spirit guide who has been with you for many lifetimes.

 

In that place, you begin your between-life stay in a realm that has a higher vibration than 3-dimensional reality. Think of it as Earth heaven, which has different levels that a departed soul can go to depending upon one's degree of evolution at the time of physical death. Within each level are individuals who have the same mindset, perspectives, opinions, and viewpoints. In essence, each level contains souls that think and act alike.

 

While in "heaven" you'll have an opportunity to review the effects of all the choices made during your most recent life, and other lifetimes if necessary. The life review takes place in your mind, which can be likened to a video tape of everything that took place during your previous lifetime down to the tiniest detail. As you watch, you will feel all the emotions that were created through your higher or lesser choices. If a person, animal or other living thing was hurt by a non-loving choice, you get to feel that hurt. If love was the basis of a choice that was made, you feel that love.

 

After the life review is completed, you serve as your own judge and jury prior to creating your next life plan. All of this is done with unconditional love and support from your angelic spirit guide and other Master spirits. Then, without any scolding from God, you are the one who chooses the kinds of solutions for healing, and the opportunities for learning and growth to be accomplished during your next lifetime.

 

As you prepare for your upcoming incarnation, you pick your parents, siblings, lovers, friends, and other members of your soul family, just as they choose you for their needs. For the most part, you will continue to repeat your incarnations with many of the same people, especially those closest to you. The choice of who you wish to be with and what you want to do is blended and tempered with the decisions made by all the others who will play key roles in the combined drama. Overall, a general palette of everyone's upcoming lives takes shape that is agreeable to all. Importantly, you will come into your next incarnation at exactly the same level of vibration and conscious mindset as the one you just completed.

 

While making your choices, you may decide to work out negative karma, be in the company and friendship of another because of the joy that she or he brought to you in previous lifetimes, or both. If you feel ready for the challenge and want to speed up your evolution, you may elect to experience a difficult life.

 

On the other hand, if you've just finished a demanding life, a relatively easy one may be next on your agenda, realizing that a smoother "rood" with fewer difficulties is not as conducive to growth. Or you may decide not to evolve very much at all by making lesser choices to shape your upcoming life plan. As always, the final decision is up to you, and it is plain to see the countless array of choices others have made by simply observing the world around you.

 

Finally, the more advanced we are the less time we need to spend resolving unsettled karma in a physical body. Those less evolved are in and out of body very quickly, since there are more lessons to be learned and many knots of karma to untangle and heal.

 

At birth a veil of forgetfulness is cast over the details of your life plan. But that drama is guaranteed to unfold. On-going help is always available from God and your spirit guide. As you pass through life, unplanned synchronous events that come into your life in the form of unexpected people, circumstances or compelling thoughts will change its direction and play a major role in keeping you on track. It is important to realize and trust that you are not here in body randomly or accidently and that there are guiding forces in your life at all times. Some synchronicities are big and easy to spot, while others may be more subtle. The trick is to pay attention to them.

 

While in body, your life plan guarantees that a pre-arranged drama will occur, such as a long-term partnership with someone and the children that could come from it. However, once that relationship falls into place, you will find yourself continually confronted with free-will choices that can help you, your partner, and your children learn and grow because of them.

 

Needless to say you have lived through and experienced many reincarnational dramas before this lifetime, but this cosmic system of justice does work. Eventually, the negative karmic energy and dross accumulated from the past is balanced out with forgiveness and unconditional love. Over time you will learn all of life's lessons that are possible in the flesh. At that point you are ready to graduate into greater opportunities and adventures that are unimaginable. And you will discover that the countless lives experienced here on planet Earth is just the beginning of a very long journey of Self-discovery.

 

During your current lifetime, it helps to be aware of the fact that God gifted you with the most effective way to grow and learn while here on this planet. It is through your relationships with others. And the second most compelling relationships you can have in body are with those soulmates who are most endearing to you, especially the long-term partner who may be in your life this very moment.

Soul Mates

"The term soul mates is often used to mean twin souls; but there is an important distinction. Twin souls are two sides of the same soul, whereas group souls, though intimately related, are separate. We have many soul mates but only one twin soul..."

~ Patricia Joudry & Maurie Pressman, M.D.

Twin Souls

 

For as long as we have had recorded history, the masculine and the feminine energies have always been powerfully drawn towards one another. And yet, few have ever taken the time to ask some very fundamental questions about this magical oneness known as man-woman.

 

Does it exist by accident? Is it nothing more than a by-product of Mother Nature that guarantees more humans? Or could there be a deeper purpose and sacred meaning to it all?

 

Why do we have feelings of oneness with another that can be so profound at times we want it to last for all of eternity? How do we account for a knowingness deep within our being that often reminds us we are incomplete; that someone, somewhere, will make us feel whole again?

 

Quite frankly, I can't think of any other human experience that rivals the passion and intensity of falling in love. Perhaps that is why we seem to be so preoccupied with it. Eventually, we reach a point along the paths of our many lives when we discover that it has everything to do with God, our souls, and becoming a grander version of who we are.

 

How did the concepts of soul mates and twin souls begin in the first place? Was it all the result of someone's vivid imagination? Why is the word soul common to both?

 

Why do many find themselves so intrigued by these kinds of thoughts? Is there a difference between the two? How will this affect relationships as we enter the Age of Aquarius? Will a deeper understanding of soul partners and the Aquarian energy change our lives dramatically for the better? Do we even realize what our soul is up to while on its cosmic journey?

 

All of these questions are important. If we want to have meaningful soul mate or twin soul relationships, and there is a difference between the two, we must start thinking of ourselves as souls. Unless we do so, these kinds of partnerships will have little chance of reaching their truest meaning and fulfillment.

 

Soul mates can be lovers, parents, siblings, relatives, best friends, and other persons in our lives who are usually very close to us. As I understand it, four different kinds of soul mate relationships are possible.

 

Karmic soul mates are two individuals who have come together during a given lifetime to heal something from a past life or previous lives. Their relationship with one another can be very profound and loving, or it can deteriorate into the same negative energy that was created previously. Another possible outcome is that the karma may only be partially resolved, leaving both with more work to do during this or some future life together.

 

The second kind of relationship we can choose to experience with a soul mate is one that involves important life lessons. For example, during our in-between life stay, we might plan to have a long-term relationship with another that has the potential to teach us the value of patience, forgiveness, tolerance, openness, acceptance, honor, compassion or other personal qualities that foster inner growth and development. Keep in mind that it could take many lifetimes to appreciate the importance of such traits in order to make them a permanent part of our nature.

 

The third type of soul mate partnership between a man and woman has been generally referred to as a companion relationship. These are individuals who join together in a bond of deep and profound love to work on a project together. This might involve the formation of a spiritual center, creation of an art gallery, providing a meaningful service to humanity, composing music, starting a green business or any other projects that might be possible during the prolonged union.

 

The decision to accomplish a project through this kind of coupling was made by the two individuals prior to entering the earth plane. And their choice to do so was arrived at freely. Like other karmic relationships this type of partnership may endure for part or all of a lifetime. Once the life-plan contract has been fulfilled, or has reached a point where no more growth is possible from the union, the Universe will move the two souls away from one another so that they can begin their next life dramas.

The fourth soulmate union we almost always have is a very close friendship or relationship with a relative. We join such individuals while in physical body simply to enjoy their love, company, and energy. Not surprisingly, these individuals have been part of our previous lifetime experiences on many occasions and will continue to do so in the future.

 

In his book, Only Love is Real, Dr. Brian Weiss gave the best explanation I have ever read that describes how we, our soul mates, and other souls fit within the big picture of creation. Here are some of his insightful words:

 

"I like to think of soul relationships as similar to a large tree with a thousand leaves on it. Those leaves that are on your twig are intimately close to you…You are also highly and closely related to the leaves on the branch next to yours...They are close to you, but not as close as the leaves on your own twig. Similarly, as you extend farther out along the tree, you are still related to these other leaves or souls, but not as closely as those in your immediate proximity. You are all part of one tree and one trunk. You can share experiences. You know each other. But those on your twig are the closest."

 

Dr. Weiss goes on to say that there are many other trees in this magical forest, all of which are linked together by an underground root system. Because of this, you are connected to a leaf on the most distant tree and to all the other leaves in the forest.

 

It is easy to understand how those individuals on our twig, or on nearby twigs and other branches of our tree, are soul mates within the same soul family. This also explains why some of the relationships you have with different lovers or your parents, siblings, relatives, friends, and other individuals can be stronger and more compelling than others.

 

We can also see from this beautiful analogy how every soul in the universe is joined together in complete oneness through a cosmic root system we can think of as the all-pervasive God-energy. And, most importantly, we can begin to appreciate that the entire forest, and everything that is associated with it, is God.

 

It is very important to keep in mind that all soul mate relationships eventually return us to God-centeredness and prepare us spiritually for the eventual reunion with our twin. God created relationships to help us understand and remember who we really are. After all, if you had no one to relate to, how could you know yourself? That is why all relationships are so sacred, extremely valuable, and should be honored and respected for these blessed reasons.

You have your own soulmate stories to tell. Think about the people who have been a memorable part of your life and you will discover them. Some were lovers during your life. Another may have been that shy 6-year old girl or boy who followed you everywhere through grammar school when the both of you were young. Others might be a part of your family or are your best friends this lifetime around.

 

These soulmate experiences are also preparing you for the most profound reunion of all; the one that takes place with your twin. This extraordinary experience of the heart and the soul can happen during any lifetime. However, if you and your other half are not spiritually ready and mature enough at the soul level for one another, it will not endure.

 

The Aquarian energy that is building more and more each day is also having a great impact on the nature of relationships. Eventually, perhaps this lifetime or during future ones, there will no longer be a need for the lessons of soulmate partnerships. Then you are ready to reunite with the other half of your soul for all of eternity. And on that sacred day the angels will applaud and sing their songs of love for both of you.

Twin Souls

"And when one of them meets with his other half, the actual half of himself, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other's sight even for a moment."

~ Plato

2,500 years ago...

 

The moment your soul was created it possessed male-female, ying-yang polarity and energy. Father/Mother God's love for you made sure that these two complimentary forms of consciousness, the masculine and the feminine, would be bound together throughout eternity, just as Theirs is, but on a much smaller scale.

 

The two halves of one soul have been called twin souls, twin vibrations, twin rays, or twin flames. Said another way, there is just one mirror image of yourself in the entire universe whose light vibrates with the same frequency as yours. The only difference is that it is of opposite gender and consciousness. Twinsoulship can also be likened to a magnet, which is complete and whole in every way but with two different polarities. That is quite an awesome thought. However, the story is a bit more involved than this simple explanation.

 

Soon after our souls were created we left the joy and bliss of the Absolute to enter and experience the physical universe in which we currently find ourselves. Originally we were ONE complete soul, one family, one Being. There was no separation. Just complete joy and unspeakable bliss. However, at the moment of creation, when we left the Absolute to enter the universe of duality and opposites, all of that changed.

 

The ONE Soul, which was originally whole, began to divide into smaller and smaller fragments. This step-wise progression of the ONE to the many would provide numerous opportunities for the newly-formed souls to relate to one another as races, nations, families or as individuals.

 

The relationships that formed during the unfolding of creation would eventually find their way into our everyday lives and influence the choices we make. Through those choices we would learn more about our real selves, remember our divine origin, seek reunion and oneness with one another, and eventually return to our Source. Twinsoulship plays a crucial role in this cosmic drama, and is a very important part of the divine plan.

 

At the end of the cycle of division, our individual souls made one final and very painful decision. We separated from our twin, the other half of our soul-self, when we lost our way on planet Earth and chose to become physical man and physical woman. And yet, this extremely sorrowful event would ultimately serve a very useful purpose.

 

Because of the nature of duality, separation of the large soul-clusters into individual soul forms had to be experienced as part of the divine plan. That also included the agonizing possibility of it happening with individual souls should they lose their way in physicality. However, when the time was right, we would have the opportunity to reverse the entire process and experience and feel the ecstatic joy of reunion.

 

Over the ages and throughout our many lifetimes the feelings of separation in the depths of our souls constantly reminded us of our craving for completion with our Source and our twin. That inner hunger for wholeness is why we search for romance and relationship. That is why we have families. It is also why we seek God. We are trying to re-create the same oneness felt in the beginning.

 

At some magical moment in cosmic time each of us will reach a critical point during our personal growth and evolution where separation is no longer the path of choice for us. The desire to seek oneness would depend upon our level of spiritual maturity and awareness. As that happens, we begin to remember our divine heritage and realize who we really are: divine Beings of Light.

 

Awakening to our true spiritual nature takes us on an inner journey that eventually leads to the opposite of separation, which is reunion and brotherhood. As you can well imagine, this realization brings with it profound feelings of love and joy. At that moment the soul begins to hunger for oneness with its Source. Part of this hunger will be satisfied by reunion with our twin. From what I read, this is when the journey Home begins in earnest.

 

Our awakening will also inspire us to question, and then cause us to discard, the false beliefs we have about traditional relationships, which are primarily ego driven and fear based. We will discover that in order to have a lasting, fulfilling, and meaningful partnership, unconditional love and forgiveness will have to replace the negative influences of the ego. Once twins begin to think and feel this way they are setting the stage for a serious trial reunion, during this or some future lifetime. Nevertheless, if reunion should occur, the twins will still have to work at their relationship to make it a lasting and rewarding one.

 

Twin reunion by itself does not guarantee prolonged happiness. It simply sets the stage for it. Bringing a mature spiritual awareness and a strong sense of Self into a newfound twin coupling will provide the sustenance and glue for its potential success and longevity.

 

Another very important step prior to twin reunion is the need for balancing the masculine and feminine energies within each of us. The masculine half has always retained some of the original feminine energy that the soul possesses, while the feminine half still holds onto a part of the masculine essence it once was united with.

 

Over the ages we have roamed around in this incomplete, unbalanced state looking for soul completion. And we'll continue to experience lifetime after lifetime and relationship after relationship until we decide we've had enough separation from our other half and want something more fulfilling.

 

One of the most important things to keep in mind is that it is very easy to fall in love with the "picture" of the twin soul concept and be blinded by all the glamour and excitement that it promises. It has to be brought into proper balance and grounded in the realization that we are in a material realm and physical body, and all the challenges that go with that.

 

Another danger is over-idealizing your partner and hyper-romanticizing your relationship to the point where you believe it will last forever regardless of how each of you act or behave. That is not true. Depending upon each partner's level of spiritual maturity, twin souls can have varying degrees of ego issues just as other partners do. However, with further spiritual maturation over one or more lifetimes, such challenges eventually play a lesser role in their partnership.

 

Over the course of many lifetimes soul mate relationships prepare us for lasting twin reunion. They are a very important part of the process and should be valued and blessed as such. In almost all cases, soul mate unions will last longer and be far more rewarding than the electrifying, but often stormy immature twin pairings.

 

Twin soulship is a very highly charged coupling and both partners must be spiritually ready for it to endure. When they are, their union will transcend all others. In today's world, that is a relatively rare event. However, as we transition into the unfolding Age of Aquarius, it will become more commonplace.

 

What follows is very stimulating information from various sources about twin souls that I've come across over the years. As always, bring this information to your heart and reach your own conclusions about the information it conveys.

 

Plato

The twin-soul concept is not new. In their wonderful book, Twin Souls, Patricia Joudry and Maurie Pressman, M.D. tell us that Plato described it 2,500 years ago. What follows is his description about this magical state of mind, heart, and soul...

 

"…and when one of them meets the other half, the actual half of himself, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other's sight even for a moment.

 

If Hephaestus, son of Zeus, were to ask the pair; 'do you desire to be wholly one, always day and night to be in one another's company? For if this is what you desire, I am ready to melt you into one and let you grow together, so that being two you shall become one, and after your death in the world beyond you will still be one departed soul instead of two—I ask whether this is what you lovingly desire?'—and there is not a man or woman of them who, when they heard the proposal, would not acknowledge that this melting into one another, this becoming one instead of two, was the very expression of their ancient need. And the reason is that human nature was originally one and we were a whole, and the desire and pursuit of the whole is called love."

 

It seems that when each of us separated into our male and female halves long ago, the soul knew, and still knows, that the rejoining of its incomplete self would inevitably take place.

 

The desire for completion doesn't stop there. What the soul really wants is not only reunion with itself through twin half union, but the original feeling of ONEness it had with other souls and its Source that existed at the very beginning of creation. This craving for the original intimacy will not stop until it is fully satisfied. We have as long as we want to make it happen. But it will happen.

 

The Sufis

Plato is not the only individual who has given us insights into twin soul relationships. The authors of Twin Souls also refer to 800-year old spiritual writings of the Sufis which say that...

 

"Out of the original unity of being there is a fragmentation and dispersal of beings, the last stage being the splitting of one soul into two. And consequently, love is the search by each half for the other on earth or in heaven..."

 

"As twin souls are so alike to begin with, it seems necessary for them to go their separate ways before they can complete each other. Identity and complementarity are the two driving forces and axes of love...For the complete being there must be a blending of the two."

 

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother

From time to time, God sends humanity advanced souls who not only teach us a better way, but live it as well. So it was with two extraordinary twin soul avatars, Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, both of whom were in body during the 1900s. From a heavenly realm, they descended into our midst and took on male and female forms to help us in our hour of need.

 

Sri Aurobindo often said that he and the Mother could communicate telepathically with one another because they were one soul in two bodies. Both took on physical forms in order to spread the male (Shiva) and female (Shakti) energy on our planet and serve as an example of service to humanity for all future twins.

 

Here are some excerpts from a book titled, Twelve Years with Sri Aurobindo, that sheds some light on this remarkable union.

 

"To both of them, the other's word was law. One of us observed that only two persons have realized and put into practice Sri Aurobindo's Yoga of surrender: the Mother surrendering to Sri Aurobindo and Sri Aurobindo to the Mother."

 

"The two who are one are the secret of all power, the two who are one are the might and right in things."

 

“The Mother has said, 'Without him, I exist not; without me he is unmanifest.'"

 

"And we were given the unique opportunity of witnessing the dual personality of the One enacting on our earth-plane an immortal drama, rare in the spiritual history of man."

 

"The two consciousnesses were one so that when Sri Aurobindo met with the accident, the Mother felt at once the vibration in her sleep."

"He followed closely all her outer activities and enveloped her with an aura of protection against the dark forces."

Edgar Cayce

Edgar Cayce, the remarkable "sleeping prophet," also spoke about twin souls while in trance. He tells us that prior to physical separation the "male and female were as one."

 

In his historical description of Atlantis, Cayce says that as long as several hundred thousands of years ago...

 

"There lived in this land of Atlantis one Amillius, who had first noted the separations of the beings as inhabited that portion of the earth's sphere or plane of these peoples, into male and female as separate entities or individuals."

 

In the book, Edgar Cayce's Story of Jesus, Cayce tells us that Jesus and Mary, his mother, were twin souls...

 

"...you see, in the beginning, Mary was the twin soul of the Master in the entrance into the earth!"

 

"Neither Mary nor Jesus had a human father. They were one soul as far as the earth is concerned."

 

I discovered more about twin souls while listening to a tape by John Van Auken, Executive Director of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, also known as The Edgar Cayce Foundation. In that tape, a woman mentions to Mr. Van Auken that Edgar Cayce seemed to have many lives as a man. "Is that typical" she asks?

 

Mr. Van Auken replied that if your root essence is male, then most of the times you will come back as a male, but you will also have some lives as a female, and vice versa.

 

Mr. Auken then said this about Gladys, the woman who painstakingly transcribed over 14,000 readings for Edgar Cayce, when he went into trance during his most recent lifetime...

 

"His feminine side was going through here at the same time...she was his stenographer, his helper in building the mission and fulfilling the work...it says (in the Cayce readings) that when he comes back as the Liberator in 2158, they'll come back united, they'll be together, we will see an androgynous expression (of Cayce and Gladys)."

 

I contacted Mr. Van Auken about this reading to find out if he was saying that these two individuals, who have shared many lives together, are twin souls. His answer was, "Yes, they are twin souls."

 

Children of the Gods

The obscure book, Children of the Gods, was a difficult read for me. However, the author, A. B. Curtis, writes about his grandfather archeologist who, in 1929, returned from an expedition to a sacred Mayan temple where he experienced an unusual preternatural vision. In that vision, cosmic beings revealed many things to him, including the following brief insight about twin souls...

 

"Wherefore, each single thing becomes two opposites;

the inside of a thing parted from its outside,

the up of a thing separated from its down,

the going of a thing separated from its coming,

the lost of a thing separated from its found.

 

As result of this impairment, great longing pulls between

to wind the spring that moves the world.

The first division would be man himself,

each part forever seeking its twin.

Hard work for those who think

love is a game to win.

They will, of course, continue to

defeat themselves until remembering."

 

Eileen Caddy

Eileen Caddy was a remarkable spiritual teacher who helped co-found the Findhorn Foundation in northeast Scotland. Her inspirational life story was described in the book, Flight Into Freedom. She received many messages, visions, and tests from God throughout her life in order to help her evolve spiritually. This is what she had to say about twin souls.

 

"I recalled a vision I had been given back in 1974 just when the first cracks were appearing in my relationship with Peter: I was taken to the beginning of time when humans were etheric beings with bodies of light. Peter and I were in one light body. Then I saw us split in two, and Peter wandered his way and I wandered mine. My being became denser and denser, and I lived through lifetime after lifetime of tremendous suffering, pain and anguish. I wandered searching for something I had lost but I did not know what it was. I was a lost soul. Peter and I may have been brought together from time to time, but we did not recognize each other. Then I was brought into this lifetime and God said: 'Now is the time. I have brought you together to do a very specific work for me'..."

 

St. Germain

The following are thoughts by the Master, St. Germain, given to Azena Ramanda and Claire Heartsong in a book titled Twin Souls and Soulmates. They provide more insight into the subject of twin souls and how we attract our other half...

 

Q. "Are twin flames more like a companion of the soul?

A. It is an identical resonance reverberation of the same frequency

within the different (male-female) bodies of energy.

Q. Are many twin flames coming together now in this time?

A. Of course, because many Christ-consciousnesses are being born."

 

St Germain continues...

 

"Within your male (twin) soulmate energy essence, there abides a certain frequency that is indeed identical to the same frequency found in the female (twin) soulmate energy essence...there are identical frequencies existing in the opposite bodies of energy, and these you call twin flames."

 

"Now, experiencing Christ-Consciousness within yourself, loving unconditionally that which you are as you exist and abide in your reality at this point in time, creates the resonance within your being that attracts the identical essence within the opposite body of soul energy. It calls it forth and merges with your energy and you with it."

 

Kryon

A spirit called Kryon, brought forth through Lee Carroll, is known all over the world. Believe it or not, on three separate occasions Kryon spoke through Mr. Carroll to a subcommittee of the United Nations about the serious nature of our world affairs.

 

In the book, Kryon, Partnering with God, this is what he has to say about soulmates and twin flames...

 

"There are differences between what causes a soulmate in comparison to a twin flame, these differences have been explained by others (e.g. St. Germain). The fact remains that they both carry a 'charge' of energy that you feel at the cellular level.

 

Dear ones, the love of appropriate twin flames or soulmates who have presented themselves synchronistically in your life is one of the highest loves between human beings. It can be between children and parents, or romantically between partners."

 

A Dweller on Two Planets

Another interesting mention of twin flames comes from a book called, A Dweller on Two Planets. This book was written and published by Frederick S. Oliver in 1886. The author claimed he transcribed its contents under the direction of a spiritual being called Phylos the Tibetan. It covers many subjects including reincarnation, Atlantis, the human soul, and other mystical concepts. At one point Phylos describes a dialogue between himself and his twin, Phyris, when they knew each other before planet Earth ever existed.

 

What follows is an excerpt that Phyris gave to her twin, Phylos...

 

"Each man we see, except those who have been transfigured, is but a semi-ego, and each woman the same—two of these having one spirit. When the perfection time cometh, all the halves shall unite, each with its own—and lo! this is the marriage made in heaven. But first comes the Trial—the Crisis of Transfiguration."

 

Shirley MacLaine

In the early 1980s, Shirley MacLaine described her profound spiritual awakening in a book called, Out on a Limb. I have always admired her courage in describing her experience because she had everything to lose and nothing to gain by going public with it. Since then, millions of people have benefited from her books and speaking engagements.

 

When Ms. MacLaine was going through the early part of her spiritual awakening, she had a private session with Kevin Ryerson, who was well-known for his ability to channel several different discarnate spirits including one called John. During this tape-recorded session, one of the spirits told Ms. MacLaine several things, which only she could know. Supported by these revelations she asked the spirit, John, about her past lives and someone whom she was having an affair with.

 

Part of the answers given by John concerned twin souls and soul mates. Interestingly, John reverses the definition of the soul mate and twin soul phrases as I understand them and how they have been described within this book. However, it does not diminish the concept that each of us has another half.

 

This was the dialogue between Ms. MacLaine and "John"...

 

"So, who was I in my previous lives?"

 

"According to the Akashic Records, you were incarnate with a twin soul."

 

"Oh, what exactly is a twin soul?"

 

"That question takes a great deal of explanation which I will endeavor to accomplish later. For now, let me begin by explaining soul mates."

 

"Soul Mates?" I asked. I had heard the term from time to time, usually in reference to people who said they had found their other half.

 

"Soul mates," John continued, "were actually created for one another at the beginning of time, or what you call at the moment of the Big Bang. They vibrate at exactly the same electromagnetic frequency because they are identical counterparts of one another. Twin souls are more common to find because they have experienced many lifetimes together in one form or another. But soul mates were actually created at the beginning of time as pairs who belonged together...So you see, there is more to your Big Bang theory than you imagine..and quite romantic at that, wouldn't you say?"

 

Messages from Heaven

Messages from Heaven was written by Patricia Kirmond whose husband passed away in 1995 at the age of 80. Shortly after his death he contacted his wife, to whom he was married for more than 50 years, and gave her many messages over a 3-year period. Some of those insights concerned their twin soul relationship, as well as other references to the twin flame concept...

 

"Several months after his death my husband told me that we were twin flames, individual souls who were created together in the beginning as one spirit."

 

"I think that if any aspect of the violet flame is neglected, it is the flame of opportunity which Portia, St. Germain's twin flame, sponsors."

"People feel that finding their twin flame—their divine counterpart who was conceived out of the same white-fire of God—is the answer. But really, finding your true self and resolving your psychology is the greatest gift you can give to your twin flame."

 

"Ascended twin flames cannot interfere with the free will of their counterparts who are still in embodiment...The twin flame longs for the return and the victory of the divine compliment, but not in any human sense...The one in embodiment may feel a profound loneliness, a sense that something cannot be found on this earth. This one can be married and still sense that something intangible is missing. The solution is to become the Christ, to fulfill your dharma. For every act of good and love you render others, you serve your twin flame as well."

 

"Everyone seems to search for a twin flame in embodiment. It is important to remember that many twin flames are ascended, waiting for their divine counterparts to join them. The best favor you can offer your twin flame is your willingness to face and conquer your human self."

 

"If your twin flame is ascended, you are never alone."

 

"The twin flame is far more apt to find you or appear to you if you place the (spiritual) path before all else."

 

Brian Weiss, M.D.

Based upon his extensive research and experiences, Dr. Weiss also believes in the concept of twin souls and soul mates. Here are two answers to questions asked of him in his web site. In this exchange, the term, "twin soulmates," is used instead of twin souls...

 

"Do we have twin soulmates?

 

I do think we have a twin soulmate but (twin) soulmates are not always in body at the same time. This does not mean other relationships are not very important for learning.

 

What if my (twin) soul mate is no longer in my life?

 

Having a (twin) soul mate connection does not mean that one is obligated to spend a lifetime together. One has many (non-twin) soul mates in one's lifetime. Often when the lessons to be learned in the relationship are completed, the relationship has a natural ending and the two souls move on. Also, there are many types of love and many types of soul relationships. Romantic love is only one of these types."

 

The above information suggests that a separation of twin souls occurred at some point during our distant past. Since that time, we've apparently lost our way in this material world and are trying to remember who we really are and reconnect with our other soul-half. When we do, our cosmic adventure within the universe can continue where it left off ages ago.

 

What's the most important starting point for a twin soul reunion? How do we prepare ourselves for it? It begins with the desire to love yourself and others without any conditions attached and without judgments. Although desire is the starting point, it is not enough. One has to live it day in and day out as best as possible.

 

When two twins are ready to reunite as spiritual partners, the Universe will create the forces necessary to bring them together for another moment in time. However, the quest for the other must first begin as a search within each of the twins themselves before lasting reunion is possible. Each has to discover his or her individual spiritual nature and God-centeredness. Then they must do their best to live it on a daily basis and foster one another's spiritual growth and evolution.

 

There are no dependencies in a twin soul relationship, because a strong sense of identity has been developed within each of the partners. To reach that point, an awareness of Self and a certain degree of internal male and female balance must first be nurtured and achieved. Then, during reunion, the essence of one simply flows into the essence of the other to create the completeness. There is no effort involved.

 

It is also impossible for mature twin souls to remain separated on any kind of permanent basis. When in relationship, they will continue to have conflicts. However, they will be driven to resolve these conflicts and any past karma as quickly as possible. Nothing is left unsaid or left to chance. Assumptions never enter their minds. All is out in the open. Neither sits, pouts, and wonders who will make the first move at "making up." There are no games, secrets or clinging to the other. There is no pretending. There is no deception. There is no fear of reprisal for anything they do or say, because unconditional love is the foundation upon which their relationship has been built.

 

In essence twin souls can simply be their open, honest selves with minimal influence from the ego. And as each conflict resolves, the bond of love between them takes on renewed meaning and strength.

How will you know you have met your twin and how can you differentiate the union from that of a very close leaf and soulmate on your twig? Here are some of the symptoms given by others who have had the experience...

 

Chances are you've met through a set of unusual circumstances that were totally unplanned and unexpected.

 

There is a powerful, instantaneous feeling that you have known the other before.

 

You felt an immediate and deep connection for one another.

 

There is an electrifying feeling between the two of you that words cannot describe.

 

The relationship is immediate, as though no time had been lost since you were last together.

 

It feels as though you had never really lived before the reunion occurred.

 

You feel a deep sense of sacredness and unity with God that you've have never known before.

 

It brings on feelings you never thought possible.

 

The two of you are inseparable.

 

When you look into each other's eyes, time and space have no meaning.

 

There are no barriers between the two of you. The relationship is a totally open one.

 

Your conversations seem to go on forever.

 

The two of you have a strong urge to serve humanity in a deep and meaningful way.

 

You give to the other and never think of receiving in return.

 

There is a special sacredness to your relationship that transcends anything you've ever experienced before.

 

You still have karma with your twin from previous lives, but the two of you resolve it all with total forgiveness and unconditional love.

 

Neither one of you are dependent on the other for your sense of self.

 

There is a strong sense of unlimitedness eternity to your feelings.

 

Your feelings for each other are very spiritual.

 

There are no restrictions within the relationship. All is freedom without the need for ownership or control.

 

The two of you know without doubt that you have been brought together for a reason.

 

You do not compete with one another nor do you pretend to be other than who you are.

 

In spite of your sameness, there is no doubt you feel a sense of completion through the other.

 

Trust, patience, and acceptance of each other's weaknesses happen automatically.

 

There is a great sense of purpose and meaning to the relationship.

 

Your sexuality is a sacred act that celebrates the unconditional love that each of you feel for the other.

 

The two of you become more and more one, without losing your individual identities.

 

When you look into the other's eyes, you see yourself.

 

You experience a sense of completeness that is without comparison.

 

The degree of intimacy and friendship the two of you develop is without parallel.

 

You recognize that the two of you are Godmates.

 

There is no doubt that some of the symptoms described above are also common to soul mate relationships. What really sets the mature twin soul union apart from all the rest is the profound degree of completeness experienced and the overwhelming sense of spirituality unique to these partnerships. In advanced twinsoulship, the two most powerful characteristics of spiritually evolved twins is their powerful connection to the divine and their desire to serve humanity in some meaningful way.

 

If you'd like to get a sense of what the compelling profoundness of twin soul union and the passion for soul completion might be, watch the classic movie, Somewhere in Time, with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve.

 

As mentioned earlier, one of the most important steps towards twin reunion is the balancing of the masculine and feminine energies in man and in woman. Depending upon one's stage of evolution, it may not be possible to achieve in one lifetime. However, until we do, twinsoulship will continue to be a very powerful but hurtful experience at best.

The Masculine and Feminine Energies

"The masculine is sovereignty, the crown upon your soul. Femininity is humility and unconditional love, the heart within the breast of your soul and together they make the whole soul essence."

~ St. Germain
Twin Souls & Soulmates

 

We live in a physical universe filled with countless opposites. This divinely created polarity is found in all things including our emotions, feelings, and relationships. That is, for male there is female, for sadness there is joy, for fear there is love, for hatred there is compassion, for anger there is forgiveness, for control there is freedom, and so on.

 

Eastern mystical teachings tell us that the male/female principle of polarity was, and still is, the driving force of creation. Its divine magic ordered and arranged our physical universe and all that it contains, including you. On a much smaller scale, the two Mother/Father polarities of energy are an integral part of our souls and the core essence of who we are.

 

Prior to the Fall of humanity our natural spirit-form was that of an androgynous Being of Light. Our one, whole, etheric body contained a masculine and feminine consciousness, which gave it two distinct yet perfect sources of complimentary influence to draw from. This complete being was a divinely balanced blend of two twin consciousnesses within the same soul. And it existed and behaved in perfect harmony.

 

We came to Earth millions of years ago in order to experience and feel physical sensations at the 3-dimensional level and to bring a sense of Godliness to this plane of existence. We then lost our way as we became more and more attached to the physical pleasures Earth-life had to offer. Eventually, our God-centeredness was replaced by an ego-driven state of mind. This in turn led to excessive fear, self-centeredness, and separation, which still exists to varying degrees up through today. At some point our etheric androgynous body separated into two halves and became physical man and physical woman. That is when the masculine and feminine were no longer in balance and harmony.

 

In order to help us remember who we really are, the reincarnational cycle and the law of karma that goes with it pulled us into its grip. We have been on that wheel of life-death-life for ages trying to recall our divine origins so that we can reclaim our God-centeredness, rebalance the feminine and masculine, and reunite with our twin soul.

 

When twin souls separated from one another, the male essence took on a masculine root gender in the physical world; the opposite occurred with the feminine. When that fateful split took place, the male half retained a vestige of his twin's feminine energy. The reverse happened to his eternal counterpart.

 

Over many lifetimes each male and female half has been trying to bring his or her masculine and feminine energies into balance just as they existed in the androgynous state. This does not imply that a woman has to be half feminine and half masculine. It means that she needs to fully re-develop her powerful feminine side, while at the same time allowing her "lesser," but very important, masculine traits to reach full potential. The opposite holds true for a man. When the two twin halves have balanced their male and female sides, and have reached a strong sense of Self and spiritually maturity, they are ready for lasting reunion.

 

Over the past several millennia the masculine and feminine influences reached profound moments of extreme unbalance. Thousands of years ago the female energy dominated; just the reverse of what it is today. And men came to fear women because of it.

 

Approximately 2500 years ago the relationship between men and women reversed and man's innate fear of woman caused the feminine to be suppressed. But that is changing rapidly and dramatically today. The feminine energy is rising once again. And its powerful influence is driving the spiritual and social transformation of our planet and all of its inhabitants who are open to its invitation.

 

Below are some of the complimentary masculine and feminine energies and how they can harmonize and balance one another…

 

Masculine Energy		Feminine Energy
doing aggression analytical concrete impatient striving rushing   assertive left brain thrusting organizing logical busy hard   controlling		being    surrender    intuitive   abstract    patient    tranquil    nurturing   receptive    right brain   receiving   contemplating    creative    calm   soft   allowing

 

When examining these characteristics, we see that a man's masculine energy wants to "do." That is a wonderful quality to have because it harnesses the creative force, puts it into motion, and something concrete happens. However, it must be balanced and harmonized with its feminine counterpart, "being," or "not-doing." Too much doing is not healthy for the spirit, mind, and body. Thus, for the most part, a man should do. But he must also learn that there are times to just "be."

 

We also see that one of the powerful qualities of a woman is to "be" in the moment. Visualize a mother patiently holding her baby for hours on end, slowly rocking the child and gently patting its back because of some distress it is going through. This reflects the wonderful feminine strength of "being." And yet, there are times when that same woman must also balance that divine gift with her masculine side that wants to "do."

 

What are the proper proportions of masculine/feminine energy for today's man and woman? My guess is that the woman's feminine side should be approximately seventy percent of her nature and her male energy about thirty percent. For a man, it would be just the opposite.

 

There is a massive shift in consciousness taking place in our world today. The material ways of life are of less importance to many, while the spiritual becomes more and more vital and fulfilling. As we go through this profound shift, many individuals are experiencing a deep, inner change as well. As this change intensifies, each of us must learn to bring into harmony the masculine/feminine energies that make up our nature.

 

Men must learn to be less controlling and more allowing in their ways. Women must be more assertive without sacrificing their warmth and softness. Men must not be afraid to cry and show their feelings. Women need to express themselves more. Men must rely more on their intuition, while women should develop their logical thinking. Men need to stop doing and striving so much and learn how to "be." Women need to become more independent and expressive. As always the key is balance.

 

Below is more wisdom about the masculine and feminine energies from the spirit P'taah taken from the book, The P'taah Tapes: An Act of Faith...

 

Q: "In our solar system, then, there would be a balance with male/female energies?

 

A: P'taah: This is to occur, dear one. That is part of the changes coming forth. And that is how humanity will come into expanded consciousness—that they may at will tap into the Goddess energy, female energy; the feminine principle...and so it is that all of
humanity, whatever their gender, are to come into that allowance, so that there may be that balance...And it is the balance of those polarities that creates what is called the jump in frequency."

 

"Well, all of you here have seen the changes coming forth, and it will be more and more. It is not to decry that which is masculine energy, it is to have balance—that man and woman may have the balance of masculine and feminine energy. It can be likened to the two wings of a dove, dear ones. The dove will not fly on one wing."

 

"...let there be no mistake about it: woman is in truth also coming from masculine energy. Your whole era, your whole Earth is geared to that at this moment and that is one of the changes of this New Age. It is also called the arising of the Goddess. It is not just in woman, it is also in man."

 

Along with all of the changes we are witnessing today we are entering a new age for relationships as well. Be they soulmate or twin flame each partner must try to reach a healthy balance of the male/female energies that are part of one's make-up. As we look around the world today, that is beginning to happen. Many women are developing a greater sense of themselves. On the other hand, men have begun to nurture and allow the tender qualities of their feminine side.

The influence of the birthing Aquarian Age will prompt each and every one of us to rebalance the masculine/feminine energies within our nature. As that occurs, the quality of our partnerships will increase dramatically. And the ego will have less of a chance to threaten its permanence and well-being.

Ego and Relationships

"When we begin to discuss deep, personal relationships, we are led to talk about unconditional love; because that is the eventual goal. And unconditional love cannot be experienced without help from the Source itself. With that help, it is possible one day to realize you have left possessive, dependent love behind."

 

~ Bartholomew

Bartholomew, Planetary Brother

 

The ego. It lives deep inside your mind. It thrives on fear, judgment, expectations, jealousy, hatred, bitterness, control, selfishness, greed, doubt, separation, anger, and many other negative thoughts and emotions.

 

Hard as it to believe, the ego does have a useful purpose in our consciousness. Before we lost our way on planet Earth aeons ago our ego was in perfect balance with the rest of our mind, and was responsible for keeping us out of harms way. However, after the Fall of mankind into three-dimensional reality, its influence increased far beyond its intended role and eventually dominated the way we thought. For many today, the ego still causes too much out-of-balance, fear-based thinking and choices. During our journey of self-perfection on planet Earth, our goal is to return the ego to its rightful place.

 

The ego, which is famous for making judgments about others, is also the root cause of most failed relationships, especially the romantic kind. In the wonderful book, Bartholomew, Planetary Brother, the Spirit Bartholomew has some very insightful things to say about the ego and relationships. His words and insights are much better than mine so I'll let him speak for himself...

 

"When we begin to discuss deep, personal relationships, we are led to talk about unconditional love; because that is the eventual goal.

 

Many of you feel this kind of deep love is beyond your reach until you 'fix' yourself and your life.

That will never happen...you will never be fully content with yourself and your life when you view it through the ego.

 

Your ego would like you to believe love is complicated.

 

You have all had moments where you experienced deep love...those moments are difficult to maintain when they are shattered by the arrival of perceived differences, feelings of superiority, judgment, inferiority, and separation.

 

With the arrival of separation, the feeling of love seems to disappear... what has happened to that feeling?

 

Let's say you meet someone and find yourself enchanted by this person...deep within you something moves...you feel, not just excitement, but a sense of being comfortable, of being safe, of being in the presence of something so important and so special that you find yourself willing to share your life with the person you think gives you those feelings.

 

When you meet someone whose energy field moves you in such a way, some aspect of your soul, the God-part of you responds.

 

In those early days, weeks and months of the relationship that feeling is built upon.

 

Here is a person you can share everything with...who, from the depths of their being, shares who they are with you.

 

In the presence of each other, you both find yourselves more forgiving...things that would, in the past, agitate you terribly fade into the background.

 

When you have this love in your heart you become more allowing, more understanding, more loveable yourself...these are truly magic moments.

 

This coming together is a moment of recognition, when the possibility arises that there may be one person who will find enough value in you to stay steady in your life thereby, giving you the opportunity to find out who you really are.

Then one day, perhaps without even knowing where it comes from, there arises in your mind a judgment.

 

'Hmmm,' says the lover about the beloved, 'I don't think I like what is happening...I think it might be a little uncomfortable to live with that characteristic for the rest of my life'.

 

At this point nothing is said; but the moment that first small judgment comes in, you begin a process that you may be stuck with for the rest of your relationship.

 

The process is...judgment leads to doubt, which leads to more judgment, which then accumulates over the years.

 

Of course, the other person is in the same process so at the very earliest stages, this separation begins to arise, and it will continue if nothing comes to break the pattern.

 

At the start of the relationship, when the soul began to move toward a partnership of deep union, that yearning was so powerful it was able to silence this judgmental little voice.

 

But the little voice (ego) is speaking quietly in the background all the time, whispering things like, 'He or she didn't do it right, didn't do it quickly enough; or my beliefs, or family or background are just a little more 'right' than his or hers'.

 

When this powerful, new love energy wells up, the small, insistent, nagging ego-voice seems to cease...remember this, because this is where your hope lies.

 

It is possible to begin to silence the ego by getting in touch with how you felt when love first sprang up in your heart.

 

Most people, however, try to find another person to feel this with instead of trying to find what once was."

 

I could go on for quite some time with Bartholomew's wisdom on relationships and the role that ego plays in weakening them. In essence what he is saying is that there is a real purpose behind relationships, especially the romantic kind. That is, in the early stages of romance, we love every thing and every one. All is sacred. We are patient, tolerant, accepting of the other's faults, forgiving and understanding, gentler, kinder, giving, joyful, and we become so lovable ourselves. This is the divine goal of romance; to bring us to an understanding of unconditional love, feeling it, and then living it the best we can.

 

In the process of being unconditional love, the ego slowly recedes into its rightful place within our minds and we awaken more and more to God-centeredness and our true spiritual nature. Then we are free as we were a long, long time ago.

 

Bartholomew also tells us that we enter relationships because we are seeking God. What does that mean? It all starts with your soul, which is a portion or spark of All That Is. As a part of God, what the soul really wants, what it is always seeking is the experience and feeling of being God. It can only achieve this through love. Said another way, the feeling of love is how we can experience God, which is exactly what happens when we "fall in love."

 

Falling in love is a very profound experience. It serves to remind us that love is the highest emotion we can feel and the grandest experience we can have. We need to realize that seeking intimate love with another is no different than seeking it with God. And it is the highest choice we can make.

 

There are many ways to make relationships as loving and rewarding as possible. The ones I list below are primarily for the romantic kind, but can also be applied to any we might have. The key is to use the relationship for its divinely intended purpose: to help you decide who you really are and what you want to do with that profound knowledge.

 

Thirteen Insights for Relationships

 

Be yourself and honor your partner's right to do the same.

 

Don't expect your partner to act or be a certain way.

 

Your partner should be your best friend. If not, something is out of balance.

 

Nurture communication at the soul level; intimacy creates lasting oneness.

 

At all times try to be honest and truthful with your partner.

 

Know and understand who your partner all the way down to the soul level.

Do your best to create an atmosphere where feelings are shared openly and without fear of retribution.

 

Try to avoid wants, needs, and jealousies; they weaken the bond of love.

 

Take full responsibility for your actions; resolve, forgive, and heal each other's hurts without delay.

 

Try not to limit or control your partner; you do not own one another.

 

Use sexuality to celebrate your love, not to satisfy your basic desires.

 

Ask Spirit to bless your union with unconditional love, patience, tolerance, and understanding in place of ego and fear.

 

From time to time, ask one another, "How are we doing?" Then discuss it openly and at length.

 

If, for some reason, you and your partner should go your separate ways, do so with unconditional love for one another. Realize that each of your life plans brought the two of you together in order to learn and grow from the union. When that purpose has been honored and served, and no further soul-growth from the relationship is possible, the parting must occur. Then, bless your former partner and realize that the two of you did your best to help one another on the journey towards Oneness.

 

More Insights for Partnerships

 

Unconditional love, which contains no judgment, should be the foundation upon which your relationship is built.

 

You can't love another fully if you don't love yourself.

 

Expectations are relationship enders.

 

When we expect our lover to do this or that and they don't, we get mad and disappointed. The relationship then suffers because of it.

 

Another relationship ender is needing someone.

 

We should not look to the other to fill a void in ourselves. Rather, in a process of mutual sharing, we should bring, as best as possible, a completed sense of self to our partner.

 

As soon as we need the other, it is an admission that we are lacking in our own wholeness. It can also become an obsession, which throws the relationship out of balance.

 

Never need. It limits and suffocates.

 

Always be yourself. Never pretend. If one or the other partner finds this difficult, then an imperfection is in need of balancing and healing.

 

Do not believe that falling in love will make you happy and end your loneliness.

 

As best as possible, try to find happiness, balance, and wholeness within yourself. Then, share this inner completion and happiness with the other.

 

Jealousy and competition have no place in a relationship. If it is present, something is out of balance within the individual and needs to be brought to the surface and healed.

 

Total freedom, not limitation and restraint, is the key to successful relationships so long as each partner acts responsibly in doing so.

 

Sexuality can be as passionate as it can be sacred.

 

Never let a relationship cause you to lose your identity or sense of self. Relationships should empower, since they help to remind us who we really are.

 

If you do not see one another as two souls on a sacred journey, the partnership can still be a rewarding and useful one. However, the profoundness and meaning of the union is not as rich, deep, and unifying as it can be.

Forgiveness…Our Most Important Lesson

 

"Cause your days and nights to be reflections of the highest idea within you. Allow your moments of Now to be filled with the spectacular ecstasy of God made manifest through you. Do it through the expression of your Love, eternal and unconditional, for all those whose lives you touch."

 

~ Given to Neale Donald Walsch by God

Conversations with God - Book 2

 

This is the shortest chapter in the book, but it contains our most important lesson while in Earth school. It has to do with forgiveness, whether it be in relationships or interactions with those we don't know. Why is forgiveness our most important lesson? Because it compels us to have unconditional love for others, just as God has for us. 

 

During the fall of 1998, I was given a hardship grant to attend a weekend seminar by Neale Donald Walsch in upstate New York at the Omega Institute. At the end of the seminar Mr. Walsh told a story that was meant to raise awareness about the origins of forgiveness.

 

There were 175 people in the room. When he finished his story I don't know of anyone who didn't have tears in their eyes, including myself. It brought on a whole new meaning of forgiveness for all of us.

 

I will do my best to retell his story...

 

In the beginning, just before the physical universe in which we live was created, God called all the spirits (souls) together and told them that they would soon be going into the new world. It was made just for them so that they could experience and feel things that weren't possible in the Absolute, where unspeakable joy and unconditional love for all made us ONE. However, in the Absolute, all we could do was know things. It was not possible to experience or feel them, because there were no opposites or conflicts in that blissful place.

 

God explained that in order to feel and experience things, everything in the physical universe had to have an opposite. So, for joy there was sadness, for love there was fear, for health there was sickness, for light there was darkness, for emotional and physical hurt there was forgiveness, for male there was female, and so on.

 

In the Absolute, we knew of these things, but that wasn't enough. What we really wanted was to go beyond the knowingness. We wanted to experience and feel what we knew and so did God, through us.

 

God stood before all the assembled spirits and described the different emotions that could be experienced in the new universe. One of the spirits ran forward and said "There is so much to choose from, but what I'd really like to experience and feel is forgiveness." God smiled and said that was a wonderful choice.

 

God then explained to the eager spirit that forgiveness could not be experienced or felt unless there was at least one other spirit involved. Forgiveness, or any other emotion, could not be experienced alone. There had to be at least two spirits involved in such a drama. No sooner did God say this when another spirit ran forward excitedly and said "I'll be the other person...I'll volunteer!"

 

God then explained to the two spirits that in order for forgiveness to occur one spirit would have to hurt the other spirit in some way, whether it be physically, emotionally or both. This would cause pain, suffering, and anger. That would be the only way forgiveness of one for the other could be felt or experienced.

 

The first spirit said it still wanted to experience forgiveness, because unconditional love for another was the highest choice one could make and the grandest feeling one could experience. God smiled warmly at both of them.

 

The other spirit looked at his friend and said "I will be the one who hurts you. But, when I do, try to remember that I'm doing this out of unconditional love for you...so that you may experience and feel compassion, love, and forgiveness for me."

Extraterrestrials, Advanced Civilizations, and Humanity

"I will demonstrate that virtually every current belief system that delves into the origins and development of humanity is full of untruths and distortions that serve to keep the reality of human origins concealed."

 

~ Arthur David Horn, Ph.D.

Humanity's Extraterrestrial Origins

 

Arthur David Horn received his Ph.D. degree from Yale University in 1976, majoring in biological anthropology. After graduating he taught the same subject for fourteen years as a professor at Colorado State University.

In 1988 Dr. Horn met an alternate-minded, new age-thinking woman from California who eventually became his wife. She exposed her husband to other sources of wisdom and truth, which changed his life and perspective dramatically.

 

After a great deal of research and reflection Dr. Horn realized that the belief systems we have been taught regarding the origins and evolution of the physical bodies that we occupy as spirits are not true. On the contrary, they serve an agenda that many Western religious institutions and governments have propagated and used for their own self-serving purposes. Over the years, this same misinformation has influenced and controlled the thinking of far too many individuals, and has done a great disservice to much of humanity.

 

When Dr. Horn realized this, he felt a deep need to retain a sense of personal and professional integrity, and resigned from his professorship. He simply could not teach the establishment view of our physical origins to his students anymore. He then wrote Humanity's Extraterrestrial Origins while living a simple life in Mt. Shasta, CA with his wife.

 

I have a great deal of admiration for people like Dr. Horn. It's not easy to walk away from consensus reality and leave one's "previous" life behind. This is especially true after having spent years of hard work obtaining a doctoral degree and all the personal and professional rewards that go with it.

 

Building upon his extensive knowledge of evolutionary patterns and forces, Dr. Horn tells us that there were unexplained, sudden jumps or explosions in the distant past, which caused new categories of life forms to appear, including ape-like pre-humans. Furthermore, there have also been instances in which various life forms emerged simultaneously, or parallel with one another, which contradicts the gradual step-by-step approach that is typically the case with normal biological evolution.

 

These mysterious explosions and simultaneous jumps in evolution cannot be explained by today's scientific theories, including Darwinism. Rather, it's as though an otherworldly force influenced these natural processes by speeding up what would normally take millions of years to unfold. This applies to the physical bodies we, as spirits, occupy today in order to take on and complete our reincarnational drama. If these physical forms didn't exist, we wouldn't be on this planet.

 

When Dr. Horn examined the sequence of pre-human forms that began to appear 4-5 million years ago, there were the same mysterious jumps in structure and appearance that sped up the emergence of our ancestor's physical bodies. These spurts cannot be explained by establishment theories of evolution and are ignored by mainstream scientists. Once again it appears that off planet forces intervened to speed things up rather than letting nature take its normal course. The nagging question is "why?"

 

The Sumerians

Sudden jumps in evolutionary patterns can also be found from time to time when one studies past civilizations. For example, the Sumerians, who appeared approximately 5,000 years ago in the area of what we know today as southern Iraq, left us many archaeological remains that cause us to scratch our heads in wonder and disbelief.

 

Dr. Horn points to the scholarly work of Zecharia Sitchin who tells us that the Sumerians did not gradually evolve into existence. Rather, their civilization appeared overnight complete with mathematics, language, irrigation systems, farming, writing, and an extensive knowledge of the heavens. Who helped them with this?

 

Furthermore, the people of Sumer were not primitive Bushmen as we have been led to believe. Amazingly, one of their pictorial drawings (below) shows the planets in our solar system revolving around the sun; something we discovered with our telescopes just 500 years ago. Also notable is that this same drawing depicts twelve planets in our solar system, not today's accepted count of eleven. One has to wonder whether this twelfth planet is the mysterious Planet X.

 

 

The Sumerians were also aware of the distant planets in our solar system: Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus, which cannot be seen with the naked eye. And they knew that Neptune had water on it! How did they know this?

 

Zecharia Sitchin

Zecharia Sitchin's most popular book, The 12th Planet, is in its 45th printing, and has been translated into 23 languages with millions of copies sold worldwide. He was  one of a handful of individuals in the world who was able to translate the Sumerian cuneiform clay tablets, which pictorially depict their interesting history. His research findings are internally coherent, and no one in the scientific community has stepped forward with a sound argument that refutes his observations and conclusions.

 

After a great deal of painstaking research, the author concluded, amongst other things, that the Annunaki from the 12th planet (Nibiru) in our solar system created the forerunners of the Sumerians, and then interacted with their descendants more than 5,000 years ago. In the below image, Mr. Sitchin believes this ancient Sumerian cylinder seal describes an Annunaki flying machine.

 

The Dogon of Africa

 

 

It doesn't end there. Dr. Horn tells us that "one of the strongest exoteric pieces of evidence indicating ET visitation and interaction with human affairs comes from the Dogon tribe of West Africa...The credibility of the Dogon oral history is greatly enhanced by the fact that they have knowledge of the heavens that our scientists have only recently acquired..."

 

The Dogon have known for thousands of years that Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, is a double star system. That is, Sirius A, the main star, is visible to the naked eye. However, it has a companion known as Sirius B, which orbits Sirius A. Sirius B is a white dwarf and can only be seen with modern-day telescopes. How did the Dogon know that Sirius B exists?

 

The Dogon also know that the orbit that Sirius B takes around Sirius A is elliptical, or egg-shaped, rather than circular. We only discovered this within recent times!

 

The oral history of the Dogon has been faithfully passed down to each succeeding generation for thousands of years. It refers to entities from the vicinity of Sirius, who visited their ancient ancestors in an airship. The extraterrestrials taught them many things including how to live in harmony with their own divine nature.

 

Below are other excerpts from Humanity's Extraterrestrial Origins that raise other questions regarding our ancient history on this planet…

 

"I wondered for example, why the ancient Egyptians and Sumerians [5000 years ago] seemed to have been more advanced in many ways , than the much later Romans and the Europeans of the Dark Ages [500-1000 years ago]."

 

"Von Daniken suggested that the ancient astronauts, or extraterrestrials, had somehow given biological evolution a boost that would allow humans to be able to maintain a civilization."

 

"When one considers the available historical evidence of considerable ET involvement in human affairs, the scientific view [Darwinism] becomes the most unbelievable, farfetched, implausible theory of human origins and development ever put forth by humankind..."

 

"Could it be that Darwinism is part of a massive cover-up of the ET influence on humankind? The answer is yes..."

 

"Mesopotamian [Iraqi, eastern Syrian and western Iranian] historical records and other sources, including esoteric sources, indicate that ETs genetically engineered modern humans and instigated the rise of civilization."

 

"We will see that both positively-oriented and negatively-oriented ETs were involved in the development of humankind from the beginnings of this Earth, but that negatively oriented ETs have largely been in control of the Earth for the past several thousand years."

 

"The main method negatively-oriented ETs have employed to keep humankind divided and controlled is by distorting and hiding spiritual truths."

 

"...the good news—that positively-oriented ETs and other positive entities are trying to help humans expand their consciousness and spiritual understanding…"

 

"The Swiss Pleiadians talk of enormous changes that are going to take place on this planet during the coming years. They talk of a grand plan, part of which is designed to place our planet back in the hands of the 'Family of Light,' from whom it was rudely seized by the 'Family of Darkness,' some three hundred thousand years ago."

 

"Despite evidence of considerable ET influence on this planet, during this time of rapid change, each individual human is ultimately in charge of their own lives, their own reality, especially their own spiritual evolution."

 

Supporting Dr. Horn's views of an extraterrestrial presence and influence throughout our planet's history are unexplained artifacts that have been left behind for us to think and wonder about. These mysterious relics strengthen the argument that Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials and that other civilizations have existed here millions of years ago. It's hard to disprove this evidence in spite of the fact that mainstream scientists sweep it under the rug or refute it without coherent explanation. This in-denial approach is typically the case when out-of-place artifacts challenge accepted archeological theories and beliefs that threaten their comfort zones and status quo.

 

I'm convinced that Earth has been visited time and time again by extraterrestrials from other star systems. I also believe that there have been instances when more advanced beings traveled here to establish colonies. On other occasions, our planet has been used by groups of individuals for reincarnational purposes. It also seems plausible that both scenarios can occur simultaneously. And there are countless planets in our universe besides Earth that can serve the same purpose.

 

It is well known that Earth goes through continuous cycles of physical change. From time to time, a favorable window opens up making it fit for habitation by individuals with 3-dimensional physical bodies. The past 10,000 years or so has been one of those windows. During that time, we have mushroomed from a handful of ancestors to more than 6.5 billion people on a gigantic karmic adventure.

 

For sure, others have come before us, each with their own purpose, bad and good, peaceful and aggressive. Civilizations such as Atlantis, Lemuria, and others have been a part of this planet's history. After considering the evidence, you too may seriously consider that we are not the first to come here to use this remarkable planet for our ongoing cosmic journey.

 

Below is a partial list of discoveries, which strongly suggest that others have been here before us. The collective impact of this evidence deserves the serious attention of an open mind and should not be ignored…

 

 

The 1896 edition of the journal, American Anthropologist, described the discovery of a fossilized human imprint made in stone near Parkersburg, West Virginia. The track left behind was seventeen inches long. The stone it was embedded in was dated at 150 million years old. Could it belong to one of the giants described in the Bible?

In 1944 a metallic bell approximately eight inches long was found inside a large piece of coal that had been mined in West Virginia. The discovery was made by Newton Anderson. The bituminous coal that was being mined in his area of the state was estimated to be about 300 million years old.

Over the past thirty years, the Wonderstone Mine in South Africa has yielded many interesting discoveries. During that time, workers have unearthed metallic spheres ranging from 1-4 inches in diameter with mysterious parallel lines encircling them.

 

These mysterious metallic-like objects, known as Klerksdorp Spheres, are extremely hard, and their surface cannot be dented or scratched, even by steel.

 

The rock formations from which these curious spheres were extracted are considered to be 2.8 billion years old! At least 200 of these strange objects have been found.

In 1938 Chi Pu Tei was a professor of archaeology at Beijing University. While exploring caves in the Himalayan Mountains, he and his and his students made a remarkable discovery. They found hundreds of stone discs, about one foot in diameter, estimated to be twelve thousand years old.

 

Twenty years would pass until by Dr. Tsum Um Nui of Beijing would examine the disks. Upon close examination, he could see that hieroglyphic symbols were carved into the spiral tracks on the disk's surface.

 

Dr. Tsum translated part of the message that the mysterious glyphs held. Amongst other things, they told a story of spaceships piloted by people called the Dropa, who crash landed in that mountain range.

 

Out of fear, the local people near the crash site killed many of the crash survivors, which may have accounted for the skeletal remains found in the same cave as the Dropa Stones.

 

Dr. Tsum’s findings were subsequently reported in the scientific literature. Not surprisingly, his published work met with a great deal of skepticism and derision.

In the 1851 June issue of Scientific American, a report was published, which described a metallic vase that had been blasted out of solid rock by laborers doing excavation work on Meeting House Hill in the town of Dorchester, Massachusetts.

 

The bell-shaped vase measured 4.5 inches high and 6.5 inches at the base. Laboratory analyses showed that it was composed of an alloy consisting of zinc and silver.

 

The sides of the vase contained flowery figures in a beautiful bouquet arrangement that were inlaid with pure silver. The rock from which it was blasted was estimated to be 100,000 years old.

 

Following 150 years of on-and-off investigation, the artifact's origin remains a complete mystery. Initially, the vase was given to Harvard University. Since then it has been in the care of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, who joined with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in an attempt to determine its place and period of origin.

A coin-like object with various drawings on its surface was discovered in a well boring more than one hundred feet below the surface in the vicinity of Lawn Ridge, Illinois. Based upon the depth of the well and the debris that was recovered, the object was estimated to be 400,000 years old.

In 1929, a group of historians found an amazing map drawn on a gazelle skin.

 

Subsequent research showed that it was a genuine document drawn in 1513 by Piri Reis, a famous admiral of the Turkish fleet in the sixteenth century.

 

The map shows mountains, streams, and various land masses in the proper size and proportion. It even shows the flow of many rivers and streams in the right direction.

 

Here is the astonishing fact. Most of the South Pole has been covered by ice for thousands of years and perhaps longer.

 

It is also a known fact that the South Pole was not discovered until 1818 more than 300 years after a copy of the original map had been made

 

The Piri Reis map shows the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica. The northern coastline of Antarctica underneath the ice was also perfectly detailed. Even the United States Air Force attests to its general accuracy.

 

In order to draw a map of such large scale and correct proportion, it would have to be argued that it was done from a point thousands of feet above the Earth. Why? Accurate maps of this sort cannot be made without sea-going clocks that provide precise measurements of latitude and longitude. These instruments were not in existence 500 years ago.
