What situation can generate the emotion of anger almost immediately with you?

The following answers were provided:

  • When someone mistreats somebody else that will not normally stand up for themselves
  • Stubbornness
  • Violence, unfairness
  • Abuse to people and animals
  • Lies
  • Seeing or even hearing/reading about cruelty to children and animals
  • Being lied to
  • Aggression, violence, bullying
  • Injustice
  • Technological glitches
  • Deliberate stupidity
  • Unfairness and rudeness
  • Violence, unfairness
  • People bugging or pestering me.
  • Unfairness and rudeness.
  • Being ridiculed and being lied to.
  • Falsehood and deceit.
  • Crime.
  • Finding out someone kept something from me, especially when it affects my life.
  • Don’t know.
  • My child’s father.
  • Physical or emotional abuse.
  • Bullying and being in an environment where people smoke.
  • Where a person is arrogant about their viewpoint or belief, and totally disregards and insults a different opinion without any consideration/thought.
  • People breaking the rules; cruelty to animals/people; people lying to me.
  • Unfair behaviour towards other, cruelty to animals and children, being lied to, dishonesty, condescending attitudes and hypocritic behaviour.
  • I’m not sure how to neatly define this one. Unfairness. Bullying. Abusing power. Taking advantage of others. For example, a grown man or woman that loses their temper in public and then start shouting at someone like a waiter over a misunderstanding. Someone like this that blindly takes their unresolved issues out on others without any self-awareness or restrain is extremely triggering for me and makes me want to beat some sense into this person (if it’s a man, or furniture if it’s a woman). I need to get up and walk away to calm myself. Another example. There is a different between spanking and beating someone. I’m 100% in favour of spanking, regardless of the popular opinion these days. I’m a very mild-mannered person, but if I’m ever in the vicinity of a man beating a child or a woman i probably won’t hesitate to return the favour.
  • Dishonesty.
  • Anyone with rage/anger and raises their voices.
  • Realizing someone lied to me or feeling disseated by someone.
  • Other people being stupid.
  • When i was younger, anger raised every time i felt misjudged, i did not understand that the other person judged me by his/her’s perceptions and had no idea about mine. I got desperate and anger raised immediately, as i tried all i could to be like everyone else, not being very good at it. I can still feel anger raise in those situations, even if i know why and are standing very strongly in myself now. Was so often challenged with statements like ‘why can’t you be normal? Why can’t you be like everyone else? There is something wrong with you, you will never succeed or being loved!’
  • Rude people and i shall walk away from arguments.
  • When I’m not seen or heard and judgement.
  • Not speaking to me with respect.
  • Betrayal from primary partner.
  • Having to look for stuff.
  • QUESTION 37

  • Love, best friend, co-creator, companion.
  • Love is all there is. God is love.
  • God is so many things; we cannot describe him as this will contain him in our way of thinking and thoughts. God is that which is good and healing and peaceful.
  • Creator of all there is. An energy you can find comfort in and negotiate with. One who has all the answers. A being that has a spark in each of us.
  • Trinity, with holy spirit in us.
  • He is a higher power watching over the running of the world.
  • A universal energy.
  • A higher intelligence that is omnipresent. I have a preference to view god like native American Indians as a great spirit that is expressed in everything around us and in us.

  • A higher power all around us.
  • The concept of God is a metaphor as an attempt to describe a metaphysical concept. The problem is that the images that most people hold about God is very outdated. For me, I don’t think there is “a God” in the traditional sense, but there is definitely a journey or a relationship with a notion of our own higher self. PS. With all things spiritual, including the other questions in this questionnaire, this is just my current understanding. I may at a later stage stand corrected, but as the words journey / relationship suggest, the point is that this is not something rigid or set in stone. It’s about discovery and growth, about asking questions and keeping an open mind.
  • Confused.
  • He is everywhere at all times.
  • I am Her.
  • Trying to undo the Christian version of God.  I am God.
  • The highest frequence energy and intelligence, a consciousness of unconditional love and pure harmony.

I find music to be a reminder of home, the frequencies pass through the veil and touch me. As it does for so many of us, no matter how it vibrates, it match our level of vibration, like how a guitar can activate other guitars with its vibration.

Every relationship is important, as two will always create an energetic third, something that will have its own energy and live for itself. It will change those who relate to each other by creating circumstances for change. Relationships come and go and often we search people with similar references in order to experience similar circumstances, to learn from many angels before we let it go. The energy that is created in a relationship, will for ever be a part of Mother Earths energy field and affect humanity. We are always in relationship to something, as everything and everyone entering our energy field, will always stay there.

  • Because on the one hand age is a mental attitude and feeling one’s age has to do with how healthy and fit or how vital and engaged you are about life in general. Sometimes we all feel 80 due to stress, illness, injury, etc.
  • It is my next big birthday – feel older has been through so much in the last 10 years of my life. As I have also put on so much weight.
  • My happiness and health.
  • Because that is the age when I finally accepted Life as it is and not what I wished it was. It took me 38 years of experiencing Life to do that and it was a pivotal/defining moment.
  • Wiser, stronger, compassionate, don’t take life so seriously.
  • Sense of life of adventure and because I allow myself to be in the adventure.
  • Because I have loved a lot during my lifetimes and I saw kingdoms rise and fall and discovered that you sometimes have to stand alone, before God, we are born alone, and we die alone with God.
  • I feel I am an adult who can still accomplish a lot, and I have a long life ahead of me.
  • Don’t exercise enough.

  • I have no idea.
  • I’m an adult with experience and wisdom, but young in what I do and how I interact. 24 was the age I was successful, respected and regarded in my work environment. I made “waves” by challenging outmoded ways of thinking and doing things. I was self-sufficient and independent. I was also very attractive and got a lot of attention.
  • Age has no meaning as long as I am healthy.
  • Feel like I’m through with the early life lessons, but still have a lot of energy for life. I’m healthy and strong and feel like I have many more years ahead of me.
  • Lots of energy, zests for life, lots more see of the world and in excellent health.
  • Still so much to do in life and feel fit and healthy.
  • That depends on what’s happening in my universe at that moment. Happiness or being happy makes me feel and look younger. Stress and anxiety makes me feel even older than 45.
  • I think my things are in place now.
  • Still feel and look young.
  • I don’t take life too seriously, heathy diet, exercise.
  • Feels like I can still move like a 24-year-old.
  • I know that my late 30’s were amazing years for me, and I am now through that ‘selfish; phase to the family phase I always sought… so I feel about 40 – stable and content, but ambitious enough to still try things.
  • my ex-husband asked me on my 40th birthday ‘so what have you decided now that you are 40’ and I said, ‘not to put up with anymore of your nonsense’. I think it was the time when I accepted that I did really have choices and I had to make them for myself.
  • It was a good age for me, and I get on well with people of that age now.  They came from a good era, and at their best years now.
  • It’s a feeling, not a rational thought.
  • My spirit still feels young.
  • I am youthful and energetic.
  • Not sure. Maybe lost a few years recently with all sorts of drama, trauma, and so on.
  • Carefree and enthusiastic for life.
  • I am very familiar with being energy. Ever since my experience when I was a young mother, in my early 20ties, when I turned into a vast energy-field and my physical body shrunk into almost nothing, I have been connected to that. That is me and I needed to learn that. I thought I died when I experienced it, now I know I needed the experience in order to search for more.
  • Maybe because I wish I could be younger.
  • Don’t feel old.
  • Uncertain of life.
  • Always felt a few yrs younger than my actual age.
  • Because of the way I think about the world.

What we fail to recognize, is that it was never ours to begin with. As we are energy, ever moving, attracting and distracting what we need on our journey, we know that everything that comes our way, is there by purpose. As is loss. In a 3-d reality, an unbalanced ego want to have control, to keep every day the same, that is safe, and we can relax. The truth is that nothing ever stays the same, it is impossible, stagnation is death. We put our trust in organizing the outer world, holding on to what we believe we need. When it is gone, we put a lot of energy into missing it, while we miss the fact that life goes on perfectly without us being present. The more we hang on to sadness, the more we are clinging to memories or anticipations about the future and not being present. Sadness is also honouring what once was there, even if the sadness is caused by an illusion. It still gave good emotions and had a purpose. An experience, a memory, something that was important. It gives the opportunity to flip the coin and see what is on the other side. There is always an opposite.

  • I’m on a deep spiritual journey and even though it has been painful, like what I am becoming.
  • Older and a little wiser, I am honest with myself.
  • I’m happy in my workplace and my life.
  • I just feel that I haven’t done as well in this life as I should have. There were many bad experiences in this lifetime, and I just couldn’t seem to have overcome the effects of them.
  • I am all of whom I can beat this very moment.
  • I discovered my gifts and use them.
  • I have learnt the hard way that my opinion matters, and that unfortunately one does not die so easily in the face of adversity and if God does not let you die, he probably still needs you somewhere.

  • I feel I could be happier in a job where I can contribute to the world a bit more. Like working with animals and plants.
  • I have come to a place in my life where I can allow what is.

  • I have seen and experienced extreme trauma, survived it and are now able to give and receive love again.

Less judgemental, more tolerant, freedom to do things because of the wisdom. Less shy to ask and question. Not debilitated by fear. I am feeding my inner self without the worry of being ridiculed.
  • I don’t feel I need to change.

  • Throughout my life there has been many ups and downs and every time I have experienced downs, I have climbed up the latter again, I realize I have learned something new about myself every time and the most prevalent is that I have learned to accept who and what I am and to follow my calling. In trust that everything is constant movement, and everything is changing. I experience synchronicities every day as proof that everything is just as it’s supposed.

QUESTION 81

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE A DREAM?

The following answers were provided:

  • Your subconscious time to play … when your subconscious speaks to you.
  • When you close your eyes and you see your ideal painting with you standing inside it.
  • Personally, dreams are linked to images, ideas, emotions, sensations. They can occur while I sleep, but they can also be flashes of insight and inspiration when I am awake that inspire me to write or create something. Daydreams are lovely and allow me to engage in wild and wonderful reverie’s which support hope and don’t need to be practical or feasible, but they are fun. Dreams are also linked to aspirations and the more exceptional they are the more gratifying, because one yearns for and works towards a better future.
  • Way in which we process a day, event or emotions.
  • Just thoughts
  • I think there are two types of dreams. The first type is the ordinary dream where your subconscious mind processes the day’s activities, emotions experienced, highlights your fears etc. The second type of dreams, however, is one that you inwardly know is a special dream.
  • A combination of junk in a trunk, possible parallel lives, premonition or some interpretation of an experience or challenge.
  • A dream for me is that there is an ultimate purpose for my life here.
  • An inner calling
  • A calling/reminder from your soul.
  • Unconscious ramblings
  • Mind shifting through information.
  • My dreams seem to be predictive, and I don’t dream often.
  • In two ways – One, a dream is the way my subconscious mind informs me of what it is focussing on. Two – something to aspire to that is not yet a physical reality.
  • A connection with other realms
  • A dream in the sleeping state – those where the mind is working through current and past life events, fears, thoughts, people – and those of our astral travelling experiences. A dream in a waking state is a vision produced by intuition – a prompting towards a goal or aspiration.
  • Sub conscious having a conversation with us.  Sometimes these may be unfathomable.  I do believe there is meaning and a message, we need to decipher it.
  • Something that I aspire to have, do or become.
  • A reminder that your subconscious is always paying attention.
  • That which quietly motivates you.
  • A story made up by your imagination.
  • Don’t know.
  • A realm of learning.
  • Tapping into a different energetic pulse (focussing on a different possibility that exists is a limitless field of possibilities) and also messages from guides/angels etc.
  • the idea of a ‘something’ you want to reach, you think about often, but know that it won’t be the end of the world if you never reach it.
  • An ideal life that someone would like for themselves, in an ideal world. An intention for happiness.
  • It’s a kind of mirror that tells a story in metaphor. I am rather fond at seeking interpretations for my dreams.
  • Reachable.
  • Something that eventually becomes reality.
  • Space of wonder.
  • A concept of a reality that we might have lived or experienced.
  • Our limited consciousness creates our reality in 3 – 4 dimensions. Everything we experience, is translated in our brain according to what we know and as such, a dream is usually defined according to that. When we dream, we are outside time and space, we are in many dimensions at once and we are free of the consciousness that holds us captured in our 3-d reality.  The question is, what is real? Life is what happens between an in breath and an out breath, whatever is between that, is created by our mind. In the process of living a human life, we need to feel connected to home. Our real reality is that we are everything at the same time and when we dream, we are free of our conscious limitations. Our mind interprets everything in many different dimensions using symbols and sacred geometry, a dream – state is closer to who we really are.
  • Thoughts and images that occur in the mind during sleep Could also be hope and aspiration one holds for the future.
  • Release of all the shadows or dreaming in parallel universes.
  • Don’t know.
  • Imagination.
  • Depending on the time of night, it’s either a state in which my brain tries to work through thoughts and emotions from the day, or if it’s just before I wake up, it’s prophetic or an answer to something I’ve been looking for.

QUESTION 82

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE EVIL?

The following answers were provided:

  • Profoundly immoral, bad, inflicting suffering.
  • Fear
  • Anything which is morally wrong, causes pain, harm, or ruin to another human being, animal or the planet can be evil.
  • Soul-less behaviour
  • Not for me
  • Evil lies at the other end of the spectrum to Light and Goodness. It is as powerful as Light and Goodness. Its purpose is not to promote positive and good qualities. Evil encompasses and promotes all the negative soul qualities of separation, fear, hare etc.
  • As there is light there is darkness. I don’t attract or deal with evil.
  • The absence of love.
  • There are some things in life that you simply do not resonate and that makes you experience bad feelings.
  • Contractors who have been hired to play the bad guy so you can learn a lesson and evolve.
  • Any behaviour, being or influence that destroys or causes despair.
  • Cruelty with complete disregard for the surroundings and others
  • I don’t really believe in evil.
  • Getting stuck in negative thoughts, emotions and actions
  • Something based in fear.
  • Dark energy, meaning harm to others, seeking the destruction of anything that is wholesome, and the pursuit of power at any price.
  • Opposite of good. Bad, dark forces, not healthy or enabling. Can be debilitating.
  • People who take advantage of others.
  • Utter disregard for another person, putting self before everyone and anything else.
  • The absence of light.
  • Negative actions done without any remorse.
  • Some people are born that way.
  • The ignorance of duality
  • Intentionally causing harm to others, animals, earth, Gaia or serving self at the cost of someone/something else
  • the absence of any good (no love, no kindness, no respect, only hatred and selfishness)
  • Dark sinister thoughts or actions. Being nasty and having no regard for the consequences.
  • I’m less interested in what evil is and more interested in how it happens. Evil is often the consequence of people who are deeply bitter and resentful and allow that to simmer for many years. While certain actions should never be tolerated or excused, at heart it’s often a consequence of unhealed wounds and trauma. At least, that’s my naive opinion
  • Don’t allow it in my life.
  • Consciously choosing to be harm to others, in thought word or deed.
  • Don’t believe in evil.  But, maybe, a negative energy and/or low vibration.
  • Absence of being connected to one’s conscience.

  • QUESTION 83

WHY WOULD THE CREATOR CREATE HUMANS?

16% of participants indicated that they don’t know.

The following answers were provided:

  • Because He can.
  • For relationship and companionship and for holy purposes.
  • To be a family
  • He/us got bored. Pretty ingenious I think, but what is next.
  • To allow the soul to experience many different adventures of life in different times, lives, zones universes.
  • God knows, I think he made a terrible mistake. We are the one creature that, should we go extinct, earth will not suffer. If the bees die, all the trees, the earth is in trouble.
  • To experience emotions and live through senses. To develop interaction and balanced relationships between different groups of the same species.
  • For fun
  • Only He would know that.
  • Did he/she?
  • To experience being human
  • To be able to have a human experience through us
  • Humans were created as derivatives of the Creator. We are endowed with the power and ability to do and be anything we choose. We ultimately learn that we need to return to our Devine Source.
  • For a pre-ordained purpose, to learn lessons, infuse humanity.
  • To look at his creation
  • Humans or the human body is a vessel for souls.
  • To live out His dream
  • Don’t believe in a creator.
  • I don’t believe in that.
  • To expand the tentacles of awareness
  • As a means to experience events and emotions
  • to share the world, he created
  • Why do we assume words like “creator” and “create”? Is this the best understanding that we can come up with? But, to give some resemblance of an answer, I believe this universe is ever expanding and growing, and we humans are part of the bleeding edge of this journey.
  • To keep order in this world
  • He separated himself from himself so that he can appreciate all of his creation.
  • (He must have been bored…) To expand on her evolution of wisdom.
  • To watch the game play out
  • Everything is consciousness and intelligence. It vibrates from the highest to the lowest and is in constant movement. We are materialized energy, vibrating very low, which give us a very limited reality. We are needed to create. In the Bible, it says that God created the Earth in 6 days and relaxed on the 7th, which is a metaphor, as so much else. If there is no concept of time, everything is happening in the now. If we look to numerology, 6 is relationships and 7 is wisdom, that should tell something about what we are here for. Ever since humans entered this reality, have been searching for a greater force, not realizing we are the force, we are the creator. The only way to recognize it, is to – by free will – find it. The more humans going through that process, find the truth and start living it, the higher will the frequencies be in the Universe created. As everything is a hologram of something else, the Universe we create personally, will connect to other people’s personal Universe and affect the whole. Our task is to find our magnificent power. Nothing is stronger than that energy, every expression of the creator find itself and become whole. This is our task, we have done it for eons or a second, in every Universes, with no beginning and no end.
  • Humans are created “in the image of God,” so we can reflect qualities like love, kindness, and creativity.
  • So, our souls evolve through different experiences different emotions, life experiences moving towards love and appreciating the beauty of love.
  • They have the ability to discern between right and wrong.
  • Because He has a Creative Spirit, so He does it simply because He can, but I also believe He did it because He longs to be in relationship. 

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW YOU HAVE DIED?

The following answers were received:

  • Don’t know.
  • There will be peace and nothing to worry about because everything will be okay.
  • If I woke up in a dimension utterly different to this one and had a transformed body.
  • When I am no longer having a human experience
  • When I am not on the earth anymore
  • You would feel a permanent and definition separation from your physical body and life on earth.
  • No idea really
  • Having had near death experiences I know it is possible to know.
  • Now idea, I suppose you will experience a sense of lightness no pain in your body and no body and not being confined by the laws of nature like gravity.
  • I would not need to sleep.
  • When I feel and know nothing
  • I would be finished.
  • Depending on the circumstances, I am pretty sure I will know because my guides will inform me.
  • Seeing the big picture without time being a part of it.
  • When I experience total bliss
  • I would experience moving away from my earthly suit towards a place I would recognise as my spiritual home.
  • Your body ceases to exist as we know it. it’s your soul that leaves the body.
  • My loved ones would be sad about me not being with them anymore.
  • A feeling of weightlessness I’d imagine.
  • Just joy and beauty in heaven.
  • I would be dead.
  • YOU WON’T.
  • I have done it before.
  • I expect to just have a sense, a knowingness.
  • I don’t think I would know, unless it was to see that my friends and family were sad cause I wasn’t with them anymore.
  • Don’t know.
  • Another question that I cannot truly know. I believe there is another side, but I can only speculate.
  • I don’t know.
  • I will be able to do everything, but nobody can see me unless they chose to, I will be in the spirit world.
  • I will be my extended self then again, be overwhelmed with love, and see the entire world from a distance.
  • Feeling of intangible lightness (no heaviness)
  • There is no death, not in the way we usually think it is. As time does not exist, there is no beginning and no end, only moments of lower and higher consciousness. When we are alive, we are captured in a lower consciousness, our DNA work poorly and we have next to no access to the multidimensional wisdom that is there. We perceive the end of life as death, yet it is nothing more than a change in consciousness, defined by an outbreath.  3 d reality let go and we are yet again everything that is and aware of it. I would say it is like awakening from a very real dream, at first, we are a bit confused, did it happen or was it just a dream. But quick we will realize we are out of the illusions and yet again a part of everything that is. In the moment of pass over, the energy soup that define us through every lifetime, will be left in the heart of Mother Earth, as it belongs to Her, as a part of Her energy. Everything we do through life, is connected to her energy and the more we increase in consciousness and create a better world, the more closer Mother Earth comes to graduation. Without that story, we are yet again pure consciousness and the energy of the Source or Creator.
  • You would not be aware of your own death.
  • Leave this earth and join your guides into learning the truth of your earthly experiences.
  • Being at peace.
  • I would have left my body.
  • I think I will just experience profound peace. 

QUESTION 85

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE TIME?

The following answers were received:

  • This thing all things devours, gnaws iron, bites steel, grinds hard stones to meal, slays king and beats high mountain down and manmade.
  • Imprisonment, it’s a way of trapping people and making them stress, it presents deadlines and limits a freedom process of being able to go out and relax and worry about what has to be done at what time.
  • The interval that separates two points and is a type of non-spatial continuum, which is irreversible as it moves from the past into the present and into the future.
  • Don’t believe it is linear as we plot it out. Different time periods run parallel to each other.
  • Not to be wasted
  • Time is the sequence in which events occur on Earth, from the past through to the future. It is also used to measure duration.
  • A period allocated for an experience/s, an illusion we made a tool for (clock).
  • We created time, because without it we are lost little beings- science to prove things exist.
  • To help others, to buy comforts and ultimately money is the ability to store “possibilities” for you can use it to create certain outcomes.
  • Cycles of change of day and night and the seasons. Growth and aging.
  • A linear period with a beginning and an end
  • When I want more there isn’t enough, when you have a lot, it goes quickly.
  • An illusion created by man.
  • The measurement of varied experiences. Without time it would just be a “rush” of “stuff” without contemplations, review, integration and experimentation.
  • Not as linear
  • A human/earthly construct used to maintain structure and forward motion in the worldly experience.
  • Infinite. Modern day Man has compartmentalised, for control.
  • Precious, going by far too quickly.
  • It is a constraint.
  • Man-made system to bring order to chaos.
  • Time is now, that is really the only time we have.
  • A perceptual creation of the mind to anchor us in a line for the sole purpose of reflecting.
  • A man made matric that allows humans to relate to others, and measures natural cycles like seasons.
  • a term we humans use to measure the things we do.
  • Don’t know.
  • The obvious human perception is a linear passing of events, but many people in both the science and spiritual domains are speculating about an existence outside of time. Maybe time and space is no more than a projection, a set of parallel realities all happening at the same instant, and all that exist outside of that is consciousness.
  • Live in the moment.
  • A way to keep our lives in order.
  • There is no such thing as time, there is only cycles of “day” and “night” – light and dark.
  • Cycles of nature / manmade construct to formulate living on Earth.
  • Our time is starting to merge as it is in space. No time.
  • Being a clock ticking 24 hour a day.
  • A construct.
  • An ongoing sequence of events.

NAME THE DIFFERENT WAYS (THE PURPOSE) MONEY CAN BE USED.

The following answers were received:

  • Survival, leisure, helpful.
  • Used to exchange goods (you give someone money in order for him to give you something that is of much more worth to you than the money you had), it can be used as a comforter, a blessing, a gift, it can be self-assuring. Its main purpose is probably to create a sense of ordered, but saying that I also think that money allows people to put a price on a person’s life which isn’t right because it’s basically a restriction or limit one has in life and prohibits one to live life the way he wants, or God intended one to live.
  • Money is the currency of the world, it allows one to earn based on what you do, it offers you power to buy as a consumer, it is a bartering tool, it has a powerful hold on most economically active adults.
  • Money is neither good nor evil, what people choose to do with it, that defines the purpose of money. Money takes on so many forms, a bribe, a way to control somebody, to be charitable, to change somebody’s life for the better, greed, make people loyal, validations.
  • To provide and for fun
  • Money has no intrinsic value of its own i.e. you can’t eat it, and you can’t use it to keep you warm. It is used as a form of exchange and is value is therefore, defined by the world’s current monetary system.
  • It is a tool to teach a huge number of lessons. Scarcity is something we created, abundance is relative in proportion to the amount of scarcity we’ve created, we learn about greed, generosity, anger, betrayal etc.
  • Money is used to manipulate people, bless the lives of people around you. Money is simply a form of exchange.
  • When you surrender to circumstances where no matter what you feel say or do, you do not control the outcome.
  • It is an energy exchange that can be received in one place and spent in another. It is used to put a value on something. The longer you keep money the more it losses its value.
  • To destroy and/or to create
  • For sustenance and to make more money
  • Energy exchange, relieving stress.
  • Money is energy that facilitates different experiences.
  • To manipulate, to help others and to create freedom.
  • To support, enable and further one’s earth life in terms of necessities and personal betterment. Should also be used to assist others in need. it is an energy exchange in return for services rendered. It also enables a feeling of power which can have extreme effects in either the pursuit of good or bad outcomes. On the negative spectrum the need for money could overrule normal human considerations for the safety or survival of others.
  • Self-improvement, greater good of humanity, share and bring joy, upliftment.
  • Helping less fortunate to live a more comfortable life, travelling, enjoying life
  • For good or for evil.
  • To buy things to live, to provide education, leisure.
  • To buy things, to reward others, to pay people for services/goods, to reward oneself
  • DON’T KNOW.
  • Only two exists for me, the freedom to express and experience.
  • To free your mind from worry so that you can be present with your family and/or purpose, to build/create things that serve your community/humanity.
  • for food and shelter; for self-improvement; for improving situations for others; to reach a dream (my own or someone else’s)
  • For security – buying a home to feel safe in, enjoyment – food and entertainment, to travel.
  • I don’t know if I can give a good answer for this one. Money is one of the various types of resources that we use to create and enjoy abundance. Money is not “real” like tables and chairs are real, but we tend to place a lot of emphasis on it.
  • Survive to buy food. Make a living travel.
  • For world peace, food for all, hospitals and schools for all classes, no differentiation by class
  • Change someone’s life, add joy to someone in need, fill your stomach, provide shelter, manipulate the weak.
  • Exchange of energy
  • Money can be used to satisfy the ego, and it can be used from the heart, either way, money is a neutral catalyst- It strengthen what is already there, immature or mature. If it is used in an immature way, from an unbalanced ego and without integrity, it will focus on short term happiness. As everything is connected to everything, that energy will support lower frequency. When money is used in a mature way, it is no longer the main priority, but work as a tool to put energy in motion. That energy is of higher frequency and supports higher frequency of all.
  • Used to buy and sell goods and services.
  • Its energy in exchange but it needs intention.
  • To manipulate people.
  • For freedom, security, expansion
  • Money can be spent (shop), saved (invest) or shared (charity).
  • QUESTION 87

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE “GOD’S WILL”?

The following answers were received:

  • What he wants for your life.
  • A purpose, a reason to live.
  • God is a divine, invisible Being Who is omnipotent, and this means that He has universal and unlimited power.
  • To be at peace
  • No matter what, it will happen.
  • God’s will is something that rarely can be understood from an earthly perspective. It can be translated as accepting what is rather than what you would like things to be. God or fate or past decisions have made things occur a certain way and there is little that can be done to alter it.
  • Something “we have” decided before we started this earthly experience. I am a co-creator with God.
  • It is a Devine Plan.
  • When you surrender to circumstances where no matter what you feel say or do, you do not control the outcome.
  • The rules of life according to the Universal laws. What’s in your soul contract.
  • What God wants
  • I don’t think we can ever know God’s will for sure.
  • It is what is.
  • I have no definition for it. For me it has become a statement/phrase that is abused when people don’t want to take responsibility for their actions and/or ignore the guidance they receive.
  • Don’t think there is something like that.
  • I don’t believe God wills any particular outcome ordained for us, other than we learn from our lifetimes and make effective use of the energy bestowed upon us.
  • Predestined, or predefined plan by a higher order.
  • Be kind and care for others.
  • Religion’s idea or way to control the minds and bodies of the flock. There is no God’s will, only the will of religious leaders who pretend to know what God’s will is.
  • That is when we do not understand how things work out.
  • Don’t believe in God.
  • I love angels, just because …
  • The underlying energy that wants to assist with growth and understanding
  • That concept doesn’t sit with me… I think you design a plan before arriving on Earth, and connecting with it and working towards fulfilling it would be what God would want for you, and therefore be His ‘will’.
  • that which ‘is’ no matter how we try to change the outcome of
  • I believe God has given us free will to make our own decisions, and will guide us in the right direction.  If we ask for help, help in at hand if we believe it.
  • Again, more words that I would like to challenge. But, to keep things short, I would say it’s probably that we humans would live our lives to its fullest potential and pursue our passions. If you consider these things as God’s gifts to us, then who are we to not pursue them fully?
  • I cannot grasp this. Really battle with this
  • He can make things happen.
  • My will.
  • It’s all predestined.
  • When God is placed at an unreachable place, with all authority and control over each of us, with the power to torture us in eternity if we are not doing the ‘right things’, we get helpless and powerless. We have no possibility to open up for the fact that we are God, as the punishment for blasphemy is so cruel. We learn that our life is worthless, and it is up to God how life turns out. In a new energy, we see this in another light. More and more people around the world, open to the fact that we are different expression of the God energy, that God is not external, but have been internal all the time. ‘Gods Will’ is a reminder, from our God part to our 3-d part. We create the life we live by our free will. We are here to work this puzzle of life on this planet from the concept of free will, in complete oblivion. 
  • The plan and purpose God has for his children.
  • It’s His time and not mine.
  • Not being fare.
  • Be thyself.
  • The giving of free choice to humans and the using of bad for good. 
  • QUESTION 88

  • An angel is a supernatural being or spirit, usually humanoid, found in various religions and mythologies.
  • The guards of heaven.
  • Angels from part of the angelic hosts.
  • Beings that are here to help humans. They are the middle man between God and humans.
  • Someone who protect you.
  • Angels are a different “species” to humans. They have higher more God-like qualities/attributes than humans do yet they too learn and grow, within their own realm and path of development.
  • Beings created to assist in this earthly adventure and experience.
  • Beings of extraordinary, brilliant light and love – God’s messengers and God’s overseers.
  • Souls who care so much about people that they still want a link with people although we are on different sides of understanding. They must be very compassionate beings.
  • Helpers and messengers from the 5th plane

  • People who protect you.
  • They God’s little creatures that come to help and guide us, some people can see them and some you can’t.
  • Guidance souls with wings.
  • Spiritual entities and energetic beings.
  • Angels are high vibrating, Universal energy, the energy a human body is too fragile to integrate. A human has many concepts, we are a physical body, a mind, an emotional body, we are esoteric, we are a reflection of Mother Earth, as our tears have the same level of salt as the sea, our chakra colours reflect the rainbow, our emotions and thoughts affects the measurable and non-measurable grids surrounding us. We are energy beings and that energy is everywhere. What we perceive as angels, are our own, high frequent energy which support us in the lower frequencies we are in as humans. Angels are our own energy lowering frequencies in order for our mind to recognize it. To give support, comfort, a reminder of the unconditional love that we are and that we’re never alone. Angel energy is outside time and spacer, forever a part of our journey, entangled with everything else.
  • Angels are created by God, to serve as messengers, protectors, and guides, and carry out God’s will.
  • A gift from our God to show us how to move towards the light and not be consumed by lower energies.
  • People who passed on guarding over us.
  • Spiritual messengers.
  • Supernatural beings under God’s service.

  • They do what God commands them to do.
  • To help/guide humans.
  • To protect.

  • Beings created to assist in this earthly adventure and experience when we ask for assistance.

  • They choose a purpose, mostly it would be to assist and encourage, bring wisdom, share love.
  • To give us insight into the bigger picture which is not known to us on the 3rd plane. To create roadblocks when we are on the path which is not for our highest good. To save us from disaster when we do something stupid. To show us signs of their existence.
  • God’s messengers, defenders and warriors.
  • They are there to guide us.
  • To help when help is asked.
  • To assist us in circumstances where we need a “nudge” in a direction. Often it results moving from a potentially “dangerous” situation to a safe environment, receiving “assistance out of the blue” when it is needed and other “interventions”.
  • To assist.
  • Angels are structured into a hierarchy with many different roles. They look after humans and nature, and assist the spiritual hierarchy in their work. They work with planetary forces to enable the light work to be done.
  • Help to be good, do good, protection and support. Humans need to believe and always have hope.

  • For them to also ‘learn’ on this planet, to assist us.
  • We are on a very difficult task here as we have completely forgotten who we are and what we are here for. We are captured in an illusionary mind which create an illusionary reality so very far from the truth. We know this before we get here.  We come in as different people every time, living very different lives, the main purpose is to figure out a way to find our way back. With free will, in total oblivion.  This is what we do, but we are not alone. We are deeply connected with our higher self, guides and angels as they are our own energy in higher frequencies. We always have support. From the first time we got here, we supported from home, from everything that is, from the source. And as we are the source and everywhere and everything at the same time, all connected and entangled, what we perceive as angels, are our support group.  What our mind tells us is different powers or qualities of the angels, is the minds translating of energy.

The following answers were received:

  • I believe so even though I might not be aware of it.
  • Yes, car crash from where everybody walked away without serious injury and falling of a mountain in a cycling race which could’ve ended disastrously but walked away without as much as a scar to prove it happened.
  • Not that I know of.
  • I’m sure I have – I have not realised it. Perhaps they are the ones that pushed me into leaving my first husband.
  • Was with me when I fear.
  • I think I might have been assisted in times of my life, and also received signs from them. However, I can’t say the source was angelic – it could have been a sign from a more evolved Being/Master.
  • Yes, so many times.
  • Every day of my life. Angels have led me through some amazing experiences and show me how truly and thoroughly I am divinely loved and supported.
  • Yes, when we were attacked by six men in our house.
  • Yes, they can wake me up when there is something I need to attend to. Make me late when I need to avoid an accident. Tell me to switch on the radio/TV when I need to hear something. Give me comfort when I’m scared. They nudge me to listen to my intuition and show me signs that I am on the right or wrong path.
  • Not that I know of.
  • Not that I’m aware of.
  • I have certain request granted – only when I have asked.
  • Yes, in times when I was down and out, received messages of encouragement and wisdoms through automatic writing, get through dangerous/driving conditions without knowing how etc.

  • Yes, when I realize that I am about to have an accident, I pray, and I am protected.
  • Not yet.
  • I have angel cards and benefit from their messages.
  • If I reflect on my life path and the events and uncanny inexplicable things that has happened, then I have.
  • Yes, I believe they provided protection when I was in a car accident in the Namib Desert.  The car we were in rolled on a desolate, desert road.  They protected me from physical harm, and sent human help on a road normally untravelled. They also protected me from attack by a malevolent ‘policeman’ who stopped me on a quiet road when driving home on my own from a salsa party.  I was stopped and asked for my driver’s licence.  When I presented it, the policeman took a step back as if he were surprised by someone in the driver’s seat that he didn’t see before.  I believe an Angel made himself visible in some form or another to chase the guy away.
  • Yes, by having unasked questions answered, by having payers answered, by seeing random deeds of love and caring, by narrowly missing an accident, by finding.
  • I call on angels help all the time, and exercise gratitude by thanking them too.  When I’m confused and not sure what direction to take, I ask for help.
  • There were a few times in my life where I felt like I had a guardian angel watching over me and protecting or helping me out of dire situations, but I honestly don’t know enough to explain.
  • yes. They are part of my gut feeling.
  • yes, I do feel them around, they leave signs like butterflies and feathers.
  • Yes, more so in car accidents, near car accidents, near hijack incidents, bodily harm by other humans, during severe sadness and grief, maybe not to end my life “prematurely”.
  • Someone helped me change a tyre, I stupidly left my car key with them, and they didn’t drive off with my car so they must have been an angel!
  • Many times. When I was 8, there was a fire in our home. I got the message from my guide before it happened and told my mom, she didn’t believe me, so she comforted me, as I was very scared, and put me to bed. At 3 in the morning I woke up, captured at the second floor by heavy smoke, it was impossible to get out. I was not afraid, felt comforted and something was communicating to me, telling me what to do. I got out, following the explanation I got and was safe. At other times, I have felt physical support, like being held tight in times of destress and fear. I have received proofs many times when I have asked for it and now, I ask for guidance all the time. Is that angels or something else, I don’t care. It is from the same source.
  • To me, that Gut Feel you feel, is actually the angels protecting us.
  • Truly my saving grace, I’m Clairaudient and have the privilege of connecting specifically to the Christ consciousness and Spiritual realm, and am guided to do certain rituals to energise or purify me, they have shown me how to connect to my inner knowing being, my magnificence.  I have never been alone and that on its own through my challenges has been the gift of Grace.
  • Not yet.
  • All the time, little moments of grace.
  • I don’t know.

  • QUESTION 98

DO YOU HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO CLONING? (EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER)

Only 16% of participants have expressed no objections to cloning.

The following answers were received:

  • Yes, because people are not the creator, but God and we have souls so how would a clone receiving a soul.
  • Yes, by cloning people you present a world without difference and without difference this place is going to be very boring. Each person has his own identity that makes him special in his own way.
  • It depends on the reason for doing so, but fiddling with nature can have catastrophic results in the wrong hands.
  • Yes, what would the purpose be, it has no meaning.
  • Don’t like that.
  • I don’t like the idea of cloning to create stem cells, where a human embryo is destroyed.
  • No, just another experience. I will be able to observe if the creators can balance responsibility.
  • Yes, I don’t need the competition. I don’t believe cloning is good because who are we to meddle with what God has created.
  • Yes, earth can barely cope with us, how can it cope with more? When we start to muddle with things we usually stuff it up somehow.
  • Yes, you cannot replace a person by creating a being with the same genes. As for animals, it is normal for certain species to go extinct. We are not machines, and you cannot just manufacture new ones. The outer shell/DNA/personality is not what makes the person.
  • No, cloned cells, animals to eat fine. We will never clone humanity perfectly.
  • Indifferent.
  • Yes, I don’t think it is how things are supposed to work.
  • Yes, all we would do with cloning is make copies. The copy is never the original, it will always remain a copy. Sometimes the copy might be better than the original, but it would never be the original. To me life is about diversity and the experience of the diversity of life. Making copies we take away that experience, making life dull and out of balance.
  • Yes, feel like we are meddling where it is not necessary.
  • Yes, we are not able to fuse a soul connection to a human body, and we are not meant to play with creating life. I think it is a violation of spiritual laws. Certain things are not in our domain to control.
  • Yes. I feel we are playing God. The ecology of life and death will be tempered.
  • Yes, too much can go wrong.
  • No, not really. I’d rather wait to see if it becomes a reality before forming a true opinion on it.
  • Yes, only God makes and takes life.
  • No – it Is proof of scientific advancement.
  • No. That is the wonder of science and the ability of the human brain
  • Yes, the intelligence of the universe does not need assistance with creation.
  • Yes – it interferes with natural processes which I believe are smarter than man-made.  Also, man-made interventions are subject to corruption and abuse.  I also don’t think many humans are fully aware of the full consequences of what they’re interfering with.
  • Yes. Everything and everyone is made as it should be. I think is wrong for us humans to think that we can take bit & pieces and make another human being that is made primarily for it ‘use’.
  • Yes, there won’t be any individualism left, we would lose our uniqueness, everyone being an individual. There wouldn’t be any unique traits belonging to one individual.
  • After some googling for different opinions, my question here is whether we are duplicating form or consciousness. For example, identical twins have a different consciousness, and in the same way I don’t think it will be possible to clone consciousness, only form. Again, like my answer on euthanasia, the concern is not about the tool but the state of being of those who wield it. Back to our present reality, two examples of possible cloning right now are a) another way for an infertile couple to have a child, and b) research cloning to study things like diseases and early life development. Option [b] is exactly the same process as [a], except the lifeform needs to be destroyed. I think these questions are difficult because we have a very limited understanding of consciousness, and many of us still carry a lot of religious superstitions which are at best outdated.
  • I never thought of that.
  • Yes, we are unique and have purpose, why change that.
  • Not really. Just don’t see the need. Can only clone the biology and not the psychic. What is it really that people want to clone?
  • Yes, they are not Soul beings, have no intuition, empathy, emotions or imagination.
  • Cloning in the way it is done now, where we clone plants in order to get food, is ok. When it comes to cloning mammals, it showed itself difficult, as a great part of genome is being inactive after a very short time during foetal development. That should tell us that we are not doing that, nature holds the stop sign.  It is not appropriate to do so, life is not supposed to be made by design, there are too much we don’t know about our DNA. It contains a history of information beyond comprehension; it also contains our divinity. That is something we cannot clone, I believe. So ethically, I feel we have no right to design a human being with no history, being a copy of the one who have.
  • Yes, every human is unique.
  • Yes, if bad intention is behind it, and for medical good intention used in accordance of Sacred Law.
  • Yes, each person is unique in its own way.
  • Yes.
  • Yes, humans love to meddle in things that they think they understand, and they always create a mess in the long run.

  • Coming so far in life, working through so much, I can, without doubt, say that happiness is a choice and I am very good at being happy. And I know that whatever happens, it is a part of my life, even if it brings me down. Nothing can exist without its counterpart, in that, loss of happiness is an opportunity to regain it with new knowledge that increase our wisdom.
  • Financial insecurity – Constant worry about money or stability
  • ME! And not owning or experiencing it….
  • Losing a loved one.
  • Egomaniacal politicians.
  • Government and one world order.
  • QUESTION 100

DEFINE MAGIC

The following answers were received:

  • The power of influencing the course of events/things by using mysterious or supernatural forces.
  • Supernatural powers.
  • The ability people have to produce effects that baffle, astound and are unaccountable. Also practices of spells and rituals which evoke supernatural effects. Sometimes magic happens for me when I am able to pen down the perfect phrase, or create an artwork that “works”. Nature and its manifestations hold magic for me as do children at play.
  • When something surprising happens.
  • Not human.
  • An otherworldly mysterious force that we can’t analyse nor explain.
  • Magic is relative to every single person on this earth. Magic is where the mind goes to create where another mind has not gone. Magic is often referred to as super-natural powers.
  • Life is magic – magic is an energy a flow of love a flow of the Devine Love in and through each and everything.
  • Magic is magic, when things come together in a grater and bigger way you ever experienced or thought the outcome could be.
  • Trickery, make believe, illusion of the senses.
  • Anything that effects change through supernatural means.
  • Magic is what happens when no one is looking.
  • Inexplicable positive incidence that defies logic.
  • Making something out of nothing. Doing the seemingly impossible. Doing something that defies the natural law. For me magic would be able to transform things from one form into another.
  • The ability to love with total trust and abandonment.
  • The ability to make “unnatural” things happen. An extended set of abilities that transcend “normal” actions and outcomes.
  • Something out of the understanding capacity of humans. it can be a ruse or deception.
  • Something happening without any logical explanation.
  • That moment when you are totally engrossed in what you’re sensing and experiencing.
  • You cannot explain it, but the end result stuns you.
  • Special and mysterious powers that exist around us.
  • To be alive.
  • The ability to see this reality as non-reality and therefor, a miracle.
  • Manifesting desires quickly.
  • something unbelievable, but that can be explained with further investigation.
  • Being able to make a dream happen, in spite of not having all the resource to make it happen.  When a dream seems impossible, but then it actually happens with little or no effort.
  • When you are in an environment that feels just right, or spending time with people that you connect with in just the right way, then you sometimes experience moments that are simply magical. I’m not sure if this answers the question, but it’s what I have right now.
  • Out of reach.
  • something you can feel buy not necessary see.
  • Freedom of creation.
  • Ability to tap into energy beyond ourselves.
  • The interesting thing about magic, is that it points to our illusionary reality. It shows us how we can be fooled to believe the most incredible things; we know it is an illusion; we have no idea how it is done, shake our heads in wonder. Knowing it is an illusion, but so difficult to explain! It should disclose the fact that we only see what our brain allows us to see, yet it is the same brain that decide what is real or not. That aside, we tend to see multidimensionality as magic. Like fairies and elves, trolls and hollers. Are they real or are they magic? Some places on Earth the veil is thinner than other places and multidimensional energy is easier to spot. Again, our mind creates creatures which is explainable.  Here in Norway, we have a history with underground beings, we grow up with fairytales about trolls capturing young women and take them deep into mountains to live there as slaves, other underground beings are protecting farms as long as the farmer take care of them and so on. And being in nature many places here, we can still feel the energy and understand why it was explained that way. All in all, magic is what our mind can’t comprehend. Whether it is given in a show or in life, everything we can’t explain, can be seen as magic until our mind is satisfied with information that explains it.
  • The power to make things happen in ways that seem mysterious.
  • The Universe.
  • There is no magic.
  • Something beautiful and wondrous that is manifested.
  • It is the unseen knowing that exists in nature.

I often get answers, sometimes it is quiet. The I know that everything is ok, and I will be led if needed. I am very much aware that I, as a part of the whole, can be compared to an adventurer’s discovery of undiscovered land, with connection to satellites. I can choose myself if I want to be guided by them or not, but my job will be so much easier if I do.

  • Expressing your most sincere inner emotions.
  • Conversation with your higher self.

  • Yes, I pray because I have a relationship with Him and that is one of the ways that I communicate with Him. To talk to Him to build our relationship and to ask.
  • Yes, in hope of building a relationship with God, it’s a way of talking to someone about all your feelings and worries and asking for help and guidance. It all comes back to hope.

  • Yes, often, several times a day.
  • Yes, I pray because I see myself as a part of God, not as God himself and I need to give honour to that which is my maker.
  • Yes, we all need help. I like to negotiate about a certain outcome. I don’t like ritual/group prayers or prayers said like reading a poem and when you look at the words it is disempowering. I have stopped going to church to pray.

  • Yes, this is in essence, your thoughts looking for positive outcomes, which then creates the ripple vibes of positive reaction.

  • No.
  • No. I’m spiritual. I believe in a greater energy but not in any form.
  • Yes, as above, I see it as a grateful offering, not a request or take away menu.
  • Yes, sometimes formally in meditation and sometimes just random conversations in my head on the go.  It’s the quickest resource to know what to do when I need help, or feel overwhelmed.  It’s also good to have a ‘person’ to shoot the breeze with, who won’t offer advice/judge/criticise etc.
  • Yes. I have a Higher Power who knows me better than I know myself and I know I can call on Him in any situation, for anything.

We have chosen the group to start this journey with, like parents and family. We have also chosen the conditions we start life with. Up till now, we have been led by karma, and we have been a part of the same soul group in order to push and pull each other into remembrance. What we experience through life, is by free will. It is impossible for any force to determine anything in life, as all a lifetime is, is created in our minds. In reality, everything is vibration, and we experience what vibrates at the same level as what we send out. It is what vibrates back to us, that we experience as life and it will continue the same way until we remember that it really don’t exists, other than in our mind. But it create potentials for what will happen in the future. And the potentials can change in a nano second when we decide to do something else.

  • Yes, because God helps me and He’s blessed me, so I pray to thank Him, and I pray to ask for guidance/healing/words of wisdom etc.
  • QUESTION 104

ARE OUR LIVES PREDETERMINED? (EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER)

78% of participants believe that our lives are predetermined.

The following answers were provided:

  • I think we have a destiny or purpose and that God has a plan for you, but I believe that your life is not set in stone, but that God will make whatever happens work in our favour and His plan. We are at point A and God has a point B for us but there are multiple ways for us to get there.
  • No, you have free will and if our life was predetermined that would eliminate the possibility of free will.
  • To a certain extent, but I do believe that our free will and choices are respected by God.
  • Yes and no – we are here to learn certain lessons and hopefully get the message but there is such a thing as free will and circumstance.
  • Don’t know. I don’t think life is predetermined to the nth degree but there are certain pre-defined and major events that occur within your life that profoundly affects the course of your life.
  • Yes, it is a mass consciousness decision – as ONE.
  • To some degree our Souls choose the lives we come into from the life experience perspective which may include the parents we are born to.
  • Yes and no, we sometimes choose life lessons before we come to earth, but our lives here are also determined by our thoughts we choose.
  • The major parts like your parents, where and when you are born. Who you have children with. Whether you are male or female. Which planet you are on. Your main character traits, your main challenges and lessons.
  • No. We were given freedom of choice when we gained reason.
  • It is entirely possible, yet human choice always comes into play and then we choose our own paths.
  • Not sure.
  • Yes, in a way. I believe that I have an end point and some goals that I would like to achieve in this life – these were predetermined before I entered this life. How I get there is not predetermined – that is experience.
  • To a certain extent. But we have free will and life has its own flow.
  • I believe we plan our lives in terms of desired outcomes and learnings. What happens during our lives in subject to our will and decision-making. This may or may not align with our own life plan.
  • To some extent, but there is the influence of free will which needs to be exercised.  There can’t be a cop out for things or circumstances that you should be taking care of it yourself.  You have a responsibility for your life.
  • Yes, God has a plan for each of us.
  • Somewhat. I believe when we’re born into this life there are people we are meant or destined to meet and have experiences with. I believe we have to go through certain events too in order to reach the next soul level before we leave the physical world again.
  • God still gives us free choice.
  • Up to a point – depending on specific choices we make.
  • No. We are part of evolution.
  • Some of it yes, some of it, no. I think we are here to explore and expand and we can only do that with a foundation of understanding, so where understanding is lacking, we will get the chance to learn, and those chances are predetermined so that we can learn again and grow into new experiences.
  • Yes and no.  I believe everyone comes here with a purpose and a plan.  The plan is not too detailed but a general framework. What happens when we do arrive though, is up to the individual, and you go through life with free will, creating it through the choices that you make.
  • Yes, I do believe than when it’s time to leave this earth, we do.
  • We have free will; we are presented with a set of circumstances and a free will to make our own decisions whichever we choose. We deserve as much as we tolerate in life.
  • I naively belief in free will. I think we live mechanical lives until we reach a point where we become aware of our own patterns, waking up in a sense, and then we can use this information to make different choices. Either way, there are always opportunities for tiny, interesting choices, or we can simply dismiss this in hindsight, as if it was all predetermined or preordained.
  • yes. We all have to die.
  • NO God decides when you go.
  • Yes, your own souls contract on your learnings and experiences in relation to souls that will share your life while being on earth, people and animals.
  • Yes, if we live in a “construct” and are “influenced” by “forces’” outside of ourselves, every instant is set out on a blue print.  It’s up to us to navigate the emotional side of this existence and not play victim.  We’ve been ‘conned’ into what this place actually is and given our power away.  “We are more than what we suppose ourselves to be”.
  • We are creative souls, and creativity goes through the veil. Everything we do reflects something else and everything is a hologram of something else, our greatest work of art is life itself. The life we create for ourselves and for us all.
  • Yes, that every event in life is planned or destined.
  • Yes, we choose to experience a certain life with souls from our soul pod group to learn and experience life lessons on earth or different universes. We are given an entry and departing date and the tools to achieve all we need to according to Sacred Law.
  • No, there is no one that has got the ability to predetermine our lives.
  • Yes, the soul chooses before it incarnates.
  • Perhaps, I suppose. We are created in the image of God, so taking that reasoning into account, consider that parents have dreams/expectations for their children’s lives. Where would that ‘habit’ come from, if not from God? I think we are placed on earth with the potential to do something specific, but we are given freedom of choice that would allow us to achieve that potential if we made choices in accordance with it.

  • Just existing and not living.
  • Don’t believe in sin.
  • I don’t think sin is a real thing. I think we misuse our energy, do the wrong things based on bad judgement.
  • Wrong doing, wickedness offence, judged against manmade rules or religious rules.
  • Going against God’s commandments.
  • Causing pain or grief or harm to another being.
  • If you know it is wrong, and still do it.
  • Actions that fall into the “wrong” category in life.
  • If a person deliberately plans to harm another person.
  • Lack of awareness.
  • Same as evil, intentionally causing harm.
  • actions which are detrimental to yourself and/or others
  • Intentionally hurting another being, animal or human, causing trauma to another, and not considering the consequences of your negative action, this leading to psychopathic behaviour.
  • I think it’s a concept that’s either outdated or misunderstood. Here is the best description that I’ve heard. Imagine you are an archer shooting at a target. Sin is when you turn around and shoot in the opposite direction
  • Evil minded.
  • It is only sin if you believe it to be.
  • The doing of anything that goes against your  inner compass of feeling good.
  • I cannot answer that, as everything except our left hemisphere uses symbol and sacred geometry as its communication and human made symbols reflect that. I could say the cross, as that is a symbol of unconditional love for me, the same is Reikii symbol for distance healing to the world. In an older energy, we needed symbols in order to connect to higher vibrations, now we are much more connected and close. 
  • Love and compassion.
  • The incorrect choice of freewill.
  • Betrayal.
  • Low vibrational choices.
  • The indulgence of worldly desires.
  • QUESTION 107

CONSIDERING ALL SYMBOLS KNOWN TO YOU, WHAT SYMBOL WOULD YOU REGARD AS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT? (EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER)

The following answers were provided:

  • The cross because of the meaning.
  • Wings, it presents freedom.
  • The heart because it is a birthplace of everything that makes us fully human.
  • The cross as I was raised Christian.
  • The cross, is the most significant and evocative symbol. It represents so many things – suffering, love, protection.
  • Five-pointed star.
  • Stars, sun, moon, rain, wind, smiles and energy that flows between people in iridescent neon like fluorescent colours.
  • The reiki symbol of Cho Ku rei – as it represents peace and protection.
  • Infinity. There is no beginning or end.
  • The circle. Life is a constant repetition.
  • None.
  • The swastika.
  • Tao (yin&yang) – this world, this dimension, this life is about a balance between opposites.
  • Infinity symbol – it represents to me my connection with my son.
  • The OM symbol. I enjoy that it carries a sound – the sound of the Universe, which resonates through my body as I chant it.
  • Heart – love will make everything ok.
  • The plus symbol… But I view it more like a crossroad than a plus sign.
  • When the sunset is beautiful.
  • Heart – can express all types of love and create a strong reaction.
  • Peace sign. If all humans could live in peace what a wonderful place it would be.
  • Probably the Yin/Yang symbol. It led me to duality and the existence of something beyond that.
  • The Enso circle – perfect in its imperfection, uncomplicated, connected.
  • The heart. It is made with a simple, single line which you learn to make as a little child. It can only have a positive meaning and represents all kinds of love.
  • Probably a 5-point star.  It’s the promise of light and brightness.
  • I don’t know many symbols, but a few years ago I heard a lecture by Jordan Peterson where he talked about the snitch in the game quidditch from Harry Potter. Quidditch is essentially two games played at the same time: the standard game and the game of the seekers. The standard game is a metaphor for our day-to-day life and duties, and the seeker’s game represents curiosity, potential, etc. The snitch is the thing that calls out to us, that catches our attention for a split second but then disappears, a kind of winged messenger of the gods, or perhaps something that flirts with us. In some sense it is our future unborn selves calling out to us. It is important to dedicate sufficient resources towards keeping our day to day lives going, but when you catch the snitch, you usually win the game. In other words, you found something that made it all worthwhile.
  • The heart. It is made with a simple, single line which you learn to make as a little child. It can only have a positive meaning and represents all kinds of love.
  • Don’t know.  Not really looked at or into a symbol…. I think.  Maybe…. yin-yan…for the purpose of balance…having it…finding it…living it.
  • the equal length cross / Celtic cross the most ancient known symbol, as well as the Svastika (Swastika) representing the elements, not the Roman torture symbol of sacrificial cross.
  • Metatron Cube Sacred geometry for this planet – flower of life
  • Don’t know.
  • The cross representing Christ consciousness, not religion
  • The Christmas Tree. To the world it is the epitome of the Christian Holy Day season, and evokes many ‘good’ feelings in many people, but in reality, it is a pagan symbol. If you put a Cross and a Christmas tree next to each other, people will likely choose the Christmas tree as something that inspires happiness, and the cross will be more likely to inspire condemnation and guilt. 
  • QUESTION 108

SHOULD INDIVIDUALS CONVICTED OF RAPING CHILDREN RECEIVE THE DEATH PENALTY?

Participants indicated –

  • Yes – 43%
  • No – 29%
  • 16% provided no definite yes or no answer.

The following answers were provided:

  • No, because I believe God and what is said in the Bible and that we should not take a life or judge.
  • No, but they should be sentenced to life in prison without parole.
  • No, but removed permanently from society.
  • I’m not here to judge.
  • No, but they must be punished in a way to understand what they did – something like being physically wounded, cut off their balls or sew up their vaginas.
  • It is not for me to make that decision for others.
  • I don’t think anyone can make the decision to end someone’s life due to any form of crime.
  • No, but they should be jailed for life.
  • I don’t believe the death penalty is a good idea at all in any circumstances.  Humans are not wise enough to know how to administer that kind of consequence.
  • Without a doubt!  That is inexcusable behaviour, a child is completely vulnerable and scared, always looking for validation and love from adults / carers / parents.  We have a duty to society to protect children and offer them the best upbringing possible.
  • I think we need a functional government and law system with a minimal amount of corruption. As for the death penalty, I do not have a strong opinion for or against it right now, only that criminals need to do their time. The real concern here is their own childhood trauma, but that’s a different topic altogether.
  • No cause they need to get to the root of what caused them to do this in the first place, then give them some meaningful work so that can find a way back to being a normal human being, we are all born good.
  • No, they should not die, they need to live with the pain of realizing what they’ve done, why they did that, and go through their won suffering of healing.
  • No. Living on a planet with dense energies sadly like war this is expected to happen.  Death won’t change this accountability will.
  • They should be locked up and made to pennant.
  • QUESTION 109

SHOULD EUTHANASIA BE AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO ARE TERMINALLY ILL AND SUFFER UNBEARABLE PAIN?

65% of participants indicated that euthanasia should be available to those who are terminally ill and suffer unbearable pain.

The following answers were also received:

  • Yes and no – depending on one’s belief-system.
  • I feel it should not be available.
  • It is a choice, and you have to deal with whatever the consequences of the choices you make.
  • Yes, but other options to release their guilt should be available too.
  • Each one to their own – it is dealing with the consequences of our choices.
  • No. whilst their life should be made comfortable, relieve pain as much as possible. Otherwise, euthanasia can be abused.
  • I’m undecided, but lean more towards no.  I just don’t think humans are wise enough to make those kinds of decisions.
  • Yes, if its terminal with no chance of recovery and life without pain, the patient should have the choice.
  • This is a very delicate situation that needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, because it can easily be misused, but I am not against it in concept. This was my original answer, however, on giving it more thought I can say with certainty that we do not want groups like the government to have access to these kinds of decisions, which will become a very slippery slope once legalised. In summary, while I do not have a problem with the idealised concept of euthanasia, I am very concerned about who will be able to make these kinds of decisions.
  • No suffering may be the reason that person is letting go of trauma of past lives – who are we to meddle with this.  Being sympathetic and helping this person in love is all we can do. Working with this person on an emotional level helping them come to terms with their illness will uncover many traumas they may not have come to terms with.
  • It should in extreme cases be a personal choice.

QUESTION 110

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE CONCEPT OF HELL WHERE INDIVIDUALS WILL BE CONDEMNED TO SUFFER FOREVER?

Participants indicated-

Yes – 19%

No – 81%

Explanations provided:

  • Yes, but I do not know what it will look like or be like.
  • The Bible speaks of hell, but for many it is on earth right now.
  • Not as a place, but more as a state of mind
  • No, this concept if too traumatic to even consider.
  • I think that concepts like hell, and also karma for example, are no longer understood in the manner in which it was original intended. Irrespective of what happens after death, heaven and hell are what we create here on earth.
  • Yes, but hell is on earth while you are living.
  • QUESTION 111

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PASSION IS – IF YES PLEASE STATE?

16% of participants indicated that they don’t know what their passions are.

  • Yes, books, words, writing, art, reading, travel, nurturing others, counselling, learning, experiencing.
  • My child, food
  • Caring

  • Yes. Children.
  • Dancing.
  • Making people understand that sterilising their pets is almost the most important duty of having a pet.
  • Music and movement.
  • I love exploring new things. In this way I am like the seeker. I am not looking for something, but it is the seeking that drives me. No matter how much I find, I just have to keep on searching for something else. The best outcome of this is that I will share the “Aha!” moments from my interpretations with those interested in listening.
  • Nature wildlife travel.
  • Bringing out creativity in humans.
  • Providing training or guidance to people on work or spiritual matters.
  • No, I don’t think I have one – just not to be put in a box.
  • Yes, I do. As I am so sensitive to vibrations and energy, my passion is to create a reality in balance. Knowing complete balance is not possible, as energy is movement, and movement create, still my passion is to guide myself and others into a greater responsibility. To see that we are all our own Universes and what I create in mine, affects what you create in yours.
  • To help other people.
  • To clear my body of all lifetimes traumas on a quantum level.
  • My passion is to take care of people and see them happy.
  • Healing.
  • I think it is teaching or mentoring, but what and how I don’t know. Absolutely not in a school or employment setup. 
  • Healing of the physical and emotional body and giving back enjoyment of life through letting go of the hurt and fear in relationships, experiences and past lives.

  • Good cup of tea and something sweet to eat, then research ways to find solutions to the challenge.
  • Eat something nice, have a glass of wine, try to watch a movie to change thoughts, try very hard to go sit in a coffee shop to be between people, sometimes sleep, just be in the moment of disfunction, try to stay alive, write in my dairy, talk to my cat.
  • Make a good cup of coffee and try and get busy with something, or just scroll on Instagram and watch the funny pet videos.  Oh, and I like to eat!

The following answers were provided:

  • Usually, my eyes start tearing.
  • I flee.
  • I shut down.
  • Internalise, don’t really express it.
  • Talking to myself
  • I bottle it up and then when I have reached boiling point, I raise my voice and verbally express it.
  • Stronger voice, controlling not to shout.
  • I try to reserve my reactions in terms of anger – through breathing, calling upon the Angels for guidance, and usually remove myself from the situation.
  • I swear.
  • Shout, swear and slam doors or through things.
  • Ignore and concentrate on something else.
  • I go quiet.
  • Depends on the circumstances – speaking loudly (generally I don’t shout any longer).
  • Stamp my foot, ball my fists, press my lips together, clench my teeth and literally growl (sometimes I swear under my breath). My look is like a hawk and then I get quiet as I would slightly stutter if I had to talk.
  • Swear.
  • Shouting, physically – usually feel the need to strike out at something, crying in rage and frustration.

  • I either vent or go extremely quiet.
  • I cry.

  • When extremely angry, my body tenses, I speak through clenched teeth, and spend a lot of energy restraining myself.  I walk away to decompress, then cry.
  • Swear.
  • I yell back if I’m being shouted at and throw things.
  • I tend to not experience extreme emotions, but when I do I tend to bottle it all up inside. On very rare occasions I’ve broken furniture when the person refuse to listen to me, but this is not useful. It is better to emotionally detach and walk away. That said, lately I’ve been working on myself to be more proactive in dealing with things as soon as they arise.
  • Outbursts.
  • I internalise, hardly express it outwardly.
  • Usually kept it quiet inside, but now lately trying to “say” it out loud, sit in the feeling, trying to figure out why the emotion came up, what caused it.  So, seems like analysing it rather than expressing it, but more these days then after the analysis tell the “someone” of the anger created due to what ever happened.
  • By shouting (I feel as though I’m not heard) – am learning to control it and verbalise it more calmly.
  • I think my age and long life has balanced extreme anger, but I used to slam doors, yell and then – if possible – go for a walk to walk it off.
  • I get quiet.
  • Withdraw feel it till it subsides or scream.
  • By crying.

HOW DO YOU MANAGE CONFLICT IN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS?

The following answers were received:

  • I talk about it.
  • I try to evade it, I will rather keep quiet and first listen to the other persons side of the story before I act and then only after I’ve heard the other persons side I will make a judgement call to say whether I was wrong or the opposite person involved and will act accordingly, if I was the innocent one I will apologise and try to rectify the mistake, if I feel that I was the innocent one I will state my side of the story and allow the other person to realise their own mistake and to see the situation out of my view point.
  • It depend on with whom. Sometimes I will address it verbally. Sometimes through a letter.
  • I have learnt to confront it and address it straight away.
  • Just walk away.
  • I attempt to avoid it until it builds up over a long time.
  • Verbal, calm communication once I have breathed it through. If not possible a letter of my side requesting a response stating their position or feelings.
  • I’m quiet, I listen, I ask questions, I withdraw, reflect and then will re-enter to ask more questions or to apologise if I am in the wrong.
  • I hate conflict and avoid it.
  • Wait for the flare up to die down and then talk about it.
  • Remove myself, think and then discuss.
  • I’m passive aggressive.
  • I will try to argue a point, but if the other person is not willing to listen (in my perception), I will withdraw until such time as we can communicate properly.
  • Don’t know.
  • Try to communicate.
  • I want to talk it trough to resolution; I can’t stand leaving things broken or hanging misunderstandings that always come up in future conflict. I want to come to a point of mutual understanding and an honest approach to correcting the wrong at that time and in behaviour going forward.
  • Dialogue and reasoning.
  • Discuss with partner.
  • I allow for some time to cool down, then bring up the topic.
  • It depends with who – a calm answer? I try not to aggravate it.
  • Avoid confrontation/fighting, try to sort out asap.
  • Avoid it.
  • I struggle with this as I do not like conflict, but I will avoid it at first and then approach it later with a discussion.
  • Discussion. From past conflicts I try follow the same pattern, making sure we both understand the issue, and staying with that issue not straying.  I think that if you don’t do that, conflicts become a dumping ground for all frustrations (maybe even those that aren’t yours) and often you’re not even arguing about the same issue.
  • I used to withdraw, but I prefer to talk it through, cause then I get over it when I get to see my partner’s point of view and feel that he has listened to mine as well.
  • I sulk until its brought up, or become silent and withdrawn, and level out the cold treatment, or just ignore the person completely.
  • This is a difficult one, but I’m learning that I need to put myself first. As much as I avoid conflict, it is necessary for laying down boundaries. Conflict serves no purpose if you are only ever repeating the same arguments without progress, in which case it is probably better to walk away and do what I desire despite the consequences. How do I manage it? I try to embrace it when someone brings it to me, but I walk away from it when there is no progress.
  • Talk about it.
  • First calm down, then say something mostly via WhatsApp.
  • Probably rather avoid it.
  • Ha try and talk about it… and try and hear the other person’s perspective without judgement.  Easy to write an answer not always easy to do.
  • By trying to have conversation where the other part can express what is going on as he/she sees it. Then I use my time to reflect upon that before I invite to a new conversation.  When I was younger, I usually got quiet, pulled myself out of the situation while I felt misunderstood, sometimes angry, but mostly misunderstood.
  • Walk away.
  • Lol trough seeing my patterns and changing them seeing the reflections of what I need to resolve – my husband being my biggest teacher. Finally, I am not reacting all the time but have empathy and compassion for him and myself.
  • I try to avoid conflict.
  • Allow a time for emotions to be experienced and then try to have a discussion where things can be said regardless of the emotions that come up.
