  • Buddhist based (Bardo’s). Death is the transition between the inter-life and life.  It’s the phase change, and the final learning we experience, with the body, prior to discarding the body, and moving on with our soul/ spirit.
  • The discarding of my avatar and to be reborn with a new life adventure.
  • I believe your soul is bigger than this plane of existence but don’t know where it goes after death.
  • It is just a phase, a journey to look forward to.
  • Not to be feared, another state of being.
  • The end of my physical body, however I remain conscious and continue as a spiritual being until I find a new baby body to inhabit, at which point I “forget” my previous existence. 
  • It is a transition.
  • A shift in state of aliveness.
  • When you size to exist. Not sure if your energy gets recycled.
  • Death is a journey home, where the hard grip of a lower consciousness, let go. The illusions we live by, vanish and we become pure energy again.
  • I think we die and then go to place to be reborn to start the next journey and learn what we are supposed to learn to level up. I do believe we see our loved ones again in a soul form. 
  • I see life as a kind of game. Death is end of level. You go on, or up or down. Depending on how you played that level. I believe we reincarnate. One soul, strung together in different physical lives. Always learning, always growing, always experiencing things. I also believe that people who have passed are still around, close enough to call on. I believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience. So, life is for us to live and experience joy and wonder and light up the world, using our talents best we can. And death is simply retuning back to source.

  • It’s a mutual understanding of how you respond to someone or how you act towards that person.

A relationship should allow for one to hold the space while another is going through a difficult time, not to judge or use as ammunition, but a solid foundation so the hurt individual may heal and find stability. A relationship is meant to be a flow, with highs and lows and about working to help each other grow with acceptance, not with terms and conditions like a legal contract.
  • Someone you feel comfortable enough to share the raw you with (and they like it). Someone that supports you as much as you do them.
  • We are a part of the whole, living in the illusion of separation. We long for wholeness, something deep down know that to grow, we need each other, and we follow the same energy group every lifetime. In that way, we know each other so well and we can push each other into growth. 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.

  • I keep active and I try to keep healthy.
  • Until a few years ago I felt much younger, but Lymes disease has caused my physical stamina, mental alacrity and memory to deteriorate rapidly. 
  • So many life experiences and past life energies showing up all in this one vessel. I have also often found that real connection is just more natural with older individuals.
  • I feel very competent to do whatever I choose, from an approach point of view. My body often makes me feel older sue to back aches and difficulty moving.
  • Overtime. Tiredness.
  • 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.

  • Feel like that is where my life started.
  • I’ve just turned 55, and I’m torn between accepting an aging body 😬 and a young attitude.

QUESTION 73

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE SADNESS?

The following answers were received:

  • A deep inner feeling of despair. The knowledge that you can change certain things.
  • Lately do not experience sadness, though when I did it was seeing the unconsciousness of others and wanting them to step into the light. It was not honouring their journey and trying to fix things. One of the biggest ones was seeing the destruction that the unconsciousness of others does to Mother Earth.
  • Loss.
  • Like being trapped in a pool of emotions, almost quick sand or jelly like, and finally accepting that you are not getting out.
  • Darkness which envelops.
  • The result of a loss. 
  • Sadness is awareness, for most part. Knowing how things, situations, earth, fauna and flora and humans can be, but it more often than not (LARGE percentage of the time) being missed or passed by due to fearful drive of survival, even sometimes just for pure ego.
  • A feeling of wanting to cry, disappointment, loss, despair.
  • Feeling of loss or great disappointment.
  • Sadness is energy that give the opportunity to find the truth. When we are sad, it is an emotion from ego, we have lost something or someone or something is missing from our life. 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.
  • Feeling empty and alone.
  • A deep ache within my soul.

QUESTION 74

HOW DO YOU MANAGE SADNESS WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE IT?

  • I play an instrument.
  • Nature by far has been my greatest healer.
  • Analyse what I can do to get perspective, feel the emotion and move forward 
  • Find something to distract me like watching TV.
  • Go to a quiet place with an animal.
  • Get busy with something. 
  • Return to my soul and reach out to divine beings and allow whoever shows up, to send their vibes to me. Also, just looking into my beautiful soulful miniature poodle’s eyes.
  • I usually withdraw within, go to bed and sleep, read or engage in playing stupid games on Facebook.
  • Over process every detail and then ignore and forget about it.
  • It is very rare for me to be sad. When it occurs, I try to honour it and reflect upon what I miss. Why do I feel sad? When I have the answer, I ask myself; could it be something else? It always is. It gives me a new perspective.
  • Mostly supress and avoid it. But when I get sad, I know I have to cry to get it out. I don’t like to cry (I see it as a sign of weakness & I was teased when I was younger when I did cry) so I must watch something that makes me cry and then I feel better afterwards. Sadness is also not something I share with anyone.
  • I walk it off. I distract myself. I don’t really deal with it well. It lingers on me.

  • I missed my husband
  • Was rejected by someone I loved, and realised that she has never loved me enough
  • Loss and potential loss.
  • I lost my soulmate 
  • Why did you cry in that way? Just thinking about this makes tears well up in my eyes… After a brief interaction with a person that decided that our friendship or connection was over, I came to understand that though I am only human, with my own hurts and 20years younger in age, that my pure intentions in many forms and ways of trying to prove to her that I am real for 5 years in fact did not prove any of this for her. She in fact mentioned that I do not feel anything for her due to apparent mistakes and seems to have collected my past misgivings, brokenness and mistakes as ammunition to use when she seemed fit to dispose of me. Very hard and deeply hurt. I have not responded to any of these things she has said, because I am still processing this and sometimes it is best to step back and to ask divinity to approach the other person. I am broken down in this connection so much so that I second guess even typing a sentence because I have wondered of anything I every say is seen with the heart it is sent and not misjudged as trying to be smart or judgmental or cold.
  • I watched the movie about the destruction of the library of Alexandria and the murder of a woman philosopher. It made me sob for half an hour.  How could they do so much harm to all of humanity! The stupidity and prejudice, greed and corruption!

  • I always thought there is something wrong with ME.
  • I am an empath (which I only fully understand now).
  • I also just know things. And I don’t know how I know things, but they always pan out true.
  • I’ve made peace with the fact that there is nothing wrong with me, I just see the world differently and experience it differently and very few people understand it.
  • The people who do get me are all much older than me and in the “spiritual” community.
  • I’m not entirely OK with it, because it is a very lonely path to walk. I also can’t talk freely, I always have to be careful of whom the audience is, because they will just think I am whacked. So, I mostly avoid crowds and strangers. Yet, when I am there, I just keep a low profile and don’t expose myself. Or I just show a part of myself.
  • I also have a lot of life experience for my age and people think you think you are a “smart arse”, so I rather just shut up and observe.”
  • I am growing and I can’t hurry the process. Everything happens at its own pace, and I am OK with that.
  • It feels like I’m lost. I don’t know where I belong or who I really am. And I can’t accept myself as I am if I don’t know who I am.
  • I would like to feel comfortable with my looks. My sister was the favourite and pretty.
  • I am satisfied that I have found and lived my purpose in life which is to provide leadership and bring order to those things that I am involved with. 
  • I recognize my growth and how far I have come. And know the soul is an endless energy with so much untapped potential that even dust can get excited.
  • Occasionally I lose my temper and this makes me uncomfortable, otherwise I have come to see that most traits have both a positive and negative side.
  • Could lose more fat or gain more muscle (but already not bad). Could explore my spirituality a bit more.
  • 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.
  • ok so I have a list of rules and morals that I live by. Things that I think make a good human being. I grew up as a NG Church Christian but a few years ago I decided that I don’t believe in religion and for a few years I didn’t believe in anything. Then I started seeing a spiritual guide and she said I do need a believe system. Then I had to find out what do I believe in. What calms my anxiety because the thought of heaven and hell gives me anxiety. I then went on a guided mushroom journey to find out what is my purpose here because if they are saying I chose this life. Why did I because I don’t want to be here. So, after the mushroom journey I had a picture of what I think we are doing here. Long story short is I had to break down everything I thought I was. Everything other people told me to be and started figuring out who I am and who I want to be. I’m still discovering that every day. So, it’s still a process. I also grew up with a very controlling mother who had an image of what she want me to be, and I had to figure out and learn everything she constricted me on. My picture of self is also not complete. I am still struggling to figure out what should be.
  • So, the one person seems happy, but I’m actually churning to be something else. To be more. Be bigger. Be better. Be different. To be something other than the terribly quiet normal person that I am on the outside.

QUESTION 81

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE A DREAM?

The following answers were provided:

  • It could be the subconscious reflecting or may be guides/higher self-sending messages.
  • A dream is a vision that we would like to see manifest in this illusion of form.
  • Building a reality.
  • If you are asleep, it is a vision playing through your subconscious. Another definition could be a vision of yourself becoming something you wish to be or to achieve something you hope for.
  • Wistful energy.
  • A stream of mental images over which I have no control. 
  • A dream is a threshold – it’s the space of possibilities (maybe called the quantum realm) that can bring drawn through to manifest in the physical realm.
  • An altered state of consciousness
  • An imaginary situation, object or environment
  • 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.
  • I don’t know how to define it. I dream a lot, every night. It’s never a pleasant place to be. I don’t like dreaming.
  • I suck at dreams. Hopes and dreams. Something you wish for … Pure wonderful fantasy of some future life.

QUESTION 82

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE EVIL?

The following answers were provided:

  • Evil is a human concept it doesn’t really exist.
  • The ego and its unconscious behaviours.
  • The opposite of Life and Love.
  • It is the will to hurt or destroy.
  • Something that is hurtful to animals, the environment or humans.
  • Those that do deliberate harm. Those deliberately harmful acts
  • The soulless.
  • The absence of love.
  • Someone who finds pleasure out of the suffering of others.
  • Did not answer.
  • When someone get pleasure in hurting living beings.
  • Something dark cruel inhumane.

QUESTION 83

WHY WOULD THE CREATOR CREATE HUMANS?

The following answers were provided:

  • Because “it” can. To experience itself
  • Humans are a test for souls to experience the density of this dimension to allow them to overcome the negative energy of the ego. Unlike animals humans have the challenge of the programmed mind that they need to overcome.
  • So, we can grow and experience.
  • When I was younger, I had the concept that the Creator is all around and a part of everything. Inside all of us. And I think that to experience love and joy and peace through every soul in different ways could be reason enough to create humans.
  • To serve Him, humanity and all creation.
  • To have a game to play or observe.
  • Firstly, who is this Creator? The First – this Energy created to extend Itself and experience. The Manipulators/ET of lower vibrations created to harvest our energy and to use as slaves.
  • To become creators, to create unpredictability which makes a creation more interesting.
  • Sick joke.
  • 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.
  • I don’t know. I am trying to find an answer that does not give me anxiety, but I don’t know why we are here.
  • This is a huge question. But I believe we are spirit in a human form. Experiencing a physical manifestation. To live in a 3D world, to experience emotion and relationships and savour all of the beauty of life. This planet. The sunsets … All of that. But then, why did the Creator create dogs 🐕 and cats and animals, who I believe also have souls and personalities. So why, humans? To experience life.

QUESTION 84

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW YOU HAVE DIED?

The following answers were received:

  • No physical pain. Being weightless
  • The illusion of form will have disappeared, and you would be back with soul group.
  • When I am not in my avatar.
  • I don’t think you’ll perceive death if your conscious mind is not operating.
  • When I look at my body in another state.
  • I would probably see my body on the ground, or if my body was disintegrated then I would notice that others couldn’t perceive me.
  • Firstly, watch the movie “The sixth sense” Second, go to the greatest sceptic and move stuff around – if they start shouting, you know you ain’t a physical being anymore. Hey, we got to laugh too!
  • I guess my environment would change?
  • More rest.
  • 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.
  • I don’t know. But I think you will go to another place that is not like earth. I think you would feel it.
  • Well hopefully I won’t be sitting around, having to go to work. Feed the dog. Do the mundane tasks our physical life needs.

QUESTION 85

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE TIME?

The following answers were received:

  • Something I don’t understand.
  • Time is a relative concept and is held together with the constructs of the mind. The only real time is NOW. It is eternal it has been and will always be.
  • It is a constraint that is insignificant.
  • It is the measurement we use to keep track of night and day, and seasons of the year. Time is forever flowing forward, and your awareness can only be in the present.
  • One should not focus on the past or the future, the Now is the only time that matters. However, one needs to reflect on the past to learn from it and plan for the future.
  • By the relative movement of objects in space.
  • What a complex topic to delve into… I have realized there is a direct connection to space. But from a third to lower fourth dimensional state this is extremely limited state of perspective. Thus, time is a state of perspective and as one vibrational shift and also reaches higher states of consciousness, time is not a limit, but one can walk in different times all the same time. I really do not believe time is something in higher realms – because from soul remembrance and actual experiences, that time is used as a fear factor to oppress us. Also, very much so, I really do not enjoy the effects gravity has on my body after the amount of time I have spent on this world.
  • Time is a human construct and relative to space and movement.
  • A made-up concept to synchronize events (quite useful, never enough).
  • Time is an illusion; it does not exist. But we live in a reality of duality, and we need the illusion of time in order to experience the moment, as that is the only thing that exists. Everything else is created by our mind. Everything else is either a remembrance or an anticipation.
  • How would you define time? – Scary! Its fast and slow. And you never know when it will run out.
  • There is linear time, minutes and days and weeks. There is the present moment and the past, which has happened, and the future which is still coming and ahead of us.

QUESTION 86

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

The following answers were received:

  • A state of being. A way of thinking.
  • Money is a tool in this reality. With it a lot can be accomplished when wanting to bring your dream into manifestation.
  • To Help, to survive, to destroy, to manipulate, to chain you down in a slave mentality
  • It can be used for things that are necessary to stay alive, like food and water and a safe place to stay. It can be used for business purposes like buying stock or equipment to provide a service. It can be used for pleasure like going on vacation or buying a sports car or things that you want but don’t really need.
  • Stability, good health, fun times, security, and helping those in need.
  • As a means of exchange or a store of wealth.
  • Money is a tool that can create possibilities and open opportunities to empower others and ourselves. Money does give freedom in this world as one has access to more the more you have and if used prudently. In the future, when Satya Yuga is in full manifestation money or monetary value will no longer be.
  • Money is a symbol of productivity and as such a medium of trade / exchange. It can be used to empower others or to control and diminish them. It can be used to create or destroy, to obtain things or to maintain life.
  • Survival. Self-improvement. Building assets. Leasure.
  • 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.
  • Living and pleasure.
  • To make life better. For myself. And for others. To take care of material needs. To buy experiences and adventures (travel) and to help people who are less fortunate.

QUESTION 87

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE “GOD’S WILL”?

The following answers were received:

  • God wants what we want.
  • This is when your free will aligns with God’ will. That is when you are fulfilling your soul’s purpose.
  • To experience live to its fullest.
  • It is the idea that people have of a higher being having a certain plan for everyone and how everything should be.
  • His purpose for humanity.
  • An event which doesn’t have a human cause or if caused by humans, has a highly improbable outcome. 
  • Depends on who “God” is. In religion, it is a controlling factor with a set of rules that keeps us in state of submission and away from true authenticity and power. Here “God’s will” thus means doing what is told, otherwise one is disobedient, thus sinful and so unworthy of reward/happiness. Beyond this, we too are gods in that we can create. “god” thus implies creativity ability. And beings that are of higher conscious states with abilities we probably deem as supernatural or godly, can also be considered “god”. God for me is being able to flow from spirit through different levels of being (mental, emotional, ethereal and physical) with less effort the closer one comes to state of Soul and the Eternal. So, “God’s will” is being in the flow.
  • The original purpose of each creation. This can change.
  • Looks like a free for all to me, can’t imagine it’s part of a plan. If it is, it sounds like a bad plan.
  • 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. 
  • Is there a “God’s Will”? I don’t know.
  • It’s a term given to explain something – an event, a disease, that no one understands or can predict or explain.

QUESTION 88

WHAT ARE ANGELS?

The following answers were received:

  • Beings created by God.
  • Angels are beings of light of higher vibration. The higher they vibrate the close to source energy they are.
  • I don’t know don’t think they exist the way we have been taught.
  • They are beings that assist God and protect the good in the universe.
  • Angelic beings who are here to assist us.
  • Most likely alien beings with bodies not too different from ours. However if you mean ghosts or spirits, my answer is that they are people just like us but without bodies and are plentiful and found everywhere.
  • Conveys, messengers, healers. Those closest in vibration to the Eternal Source or a direct channel of the Eternal Source given the right setting. I do believe in an angelic realm, which is the dimension closets to the One Eternal Being from which all comes. They are powerful.
  • Angels are God’s love and energy differentiated into function. Angels are the energetic blueprints of creation.
  • High energy forces? (not sure).
  • 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 rainsbow, 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.
  • I also don’t know. I think there are 2 types of angles. 1. Spirits that has never come to the earth or who has come to the earth and learned everything that is needed and now they are our protectors. 2. People that you know that died.
  • On many levels, different types of angels and guides. All have different skills and do different things. All here to help us. We generally need to ask them to help, although many offer guidance unto us in other ways. I guess they are also made by the Creator.

QUESTION 89

DO YOU THINK THEY EXIST?

Participants answered as follows:

67% of participants believe angels exist.

17% of participants believe angels do not exist.

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

QUESTION 90

IF THEY DO WHAT IS THEIR PURPOSE?

The following answers were received:

  • To guide and support us – if asked
  • They are guides for those that are earnestly looking into expanding into higher levels of consciousness.
  • Out of a Christian background to protect and be messengers.
  • They are beings that assist God and protect the good in the universe.
  • Safety, inspiration, guidance, healing
  • Alien beings are here maybe to observe or control us or possibly to obtain physical resources like water or metals. Spiritual beings are here because they died as humans and don’t know what to do next. 
  • The serve as a link, channel and carriers of true light, agape love and thus actual wholeness.
  • Different angels have different purposes depending on function. Overall, they facilitate our interaction with ourselves, the Creator and creations.
  • Not sure
  • 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.
  • To guide and protect us.
  • To help. To guide us in our life here. To make our experience here better. Bigger. More amazing. To work with us to manifest our dreams and wishes.

QUESTION 91

HAVE YOU EVER BENEFITED FROM THEIR ACTIONS? (EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER)

The following answers were received:

  • Yes, I believe so. Even if it is just messages of support.
  • Yes, indeed a great deal. Angel numbers is the core of the teaching on this course material.
  • No. Things have happened in my life that I know there is someone protecting me but to me it is the Oversoul that is my benefactor.
  • There are times I wonder about it. For example, having a close encounter of an accident. I can’t say whether its luck of divine intervention that determines the outcome of such close calls.
  • I frequently obtain inspiration and assistance for queries in my life. They are acknowledged every day in meditation on the four corners of the property.
  • No.
  • All the time. Faced with spiritual entities, both negative and malevolent I have called to them in reverence for assistance and they have helped, even guiding my higher mind and spirit allies too.
  • Yes. Roam once to find parking, another to get home quickly when very tired and on a deeper level to grow into more of my potential and explore different aspects of myself, to find courage and take new paths.
  • Doubt it.
  • 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.
  • yes, last year I walked up the stairs. At the last step I lost my footing, and I started to fall backwards. It felt like someone pushed me forward so that I didn’t fall. If I fell, I would have broken my neck.
  • I feel them near me. I ask them for guidance and protection every day. In one instance, as I was leaving the house my favourite song came on the radio. I stayed to listen to it. I was minutes late for a drive by shooting.

QUESTION 92

IF YOU WERE PROVIDED WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE LUNCH WITH AN IMPORTANT INDIVIDUAL (STILL ALIVE), WHO WOULD IT BE?

The following answers were provided:

  • Nicola Tesla.
  • Charles Dickens.
  • Jesus Christ.
  • Maste maha Cohan.
  • Osho.
  • Nikola Tesla – Man was a crazy genius.
  • Jesus.
  • my two grandfathers. The one because I dreamt of his death before it happened and the other one because I never met him and I want to know if the stories are true. I think he is a bad person, but they tell me he is a good person.
  • Nikola Tesla.

QUESTION 94

WHAT WAS YOUR SADDEST EXPERIENCE?

The following answers were received:

  • Being verbally abused by my father and currently by a loved one. Being unfaithful/unloving to my ex-husband
  • Losing my loyal friend a pet cat named Sharkee followed by my mother.
  • Loss of Life.
  • Being alone.
  • Losing children at +-5 weeks.
  • Loss of my dog as a child.
  • In this or other lifetimes?? It’s hard to place experiences on a scale, saying one is sadder than the other, because if it in fact hits and thus vibrate at sadness in me, no matter what happened, all are sad. Sad is sad.
  • When my daughter had an abortion.
  • Not being good enough.
  • I find it difficult to answer that. Looking back in my life, I have felt sad with the loss of animals as I grew up. As a grown up, I felt sad for my live situation, but now I am grateful, as it helped me take some choices, I might never have taken without it. Sorrow is nothing but lack of information, we feel lost and alone, yet we are a part of the whole and it is impossible to be alone.
  • Not having people who accepted me for me.
  • How to choose. There have been a few. Losing my mother to Alzheimer’s. Ending the relationship with someone who I had karmic bonds with, but was so toxic. And losing my brother which devastated me.

  • To be in two places at once.
  • The ability to fully understand everything and alter myself.
  • The ability to stretch my mind outside 3 d, to be able to see and understand fully multidimensionality.
  • communicate with animals or fly
  • Tough one that. Harnessing the elements maybe. Or invisibility – you could go anywhere!

QUESTION 96

  • Reliability.
  • Authenticity.
  • A good listener.
  • Humbleness, knowledgeable.
  • Honesty and integrity.
  • Kindness and honourable.
  • Knowing what to say – that innate wisdom of communication with warmth and charisma. Like good leadership.

QUESTION 97

UNDER WHICH CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD YOU CONSIDER ENDING THE LIFE OF ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL?

The following answers were received:

  • I don’t think I can.
  • Only if I feel threatened that my life will be taken.
  • If they would threaten the life of my loved ones.
  • To save another’s life if they mean to hurt them.
  • Evil person who harms children and animals.
  • When that person is in too much pain and suffering and cannot be helped. Or in the case of an incorrigible murderer, to prevent the murder of further victims and to show justice is served. 
  • Both soulless and proactively feeding the darkness.
  • If they were about to kill one or more people and there was no other way of stopping them.
  • If that individual is a threat to myself or family.
  • Talking about human life, I am not sure if I ever would consider that. I have taken so many lives during so many lifetimes; I came into this world so tired of it. Even the question of a person in great pain, knowing life will be over soon, asking for help…No. As I know that everyone has their own path, even under extreme circumstances, mine is no longer to take lives. If we talk about animals, it is a part of a responsible caretaker of the animal, not holding on to a pet from ego, but let it go if it is in great pain.
  • only if I really must because its mine or theirs. Depends on who it is. If you threaten my life, then I will choose me.
  • If they harmed another out of evil cruel intentions. Especially if they have no remorse and would do it again.

QUESTION 98

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

75% of participants have expressed objections to cloning.

The following answers were provided:

  • Not really, growth and change and technology is part of the natural progression of the human race.
  • Yes, indeed for the soul has chosen a specific body for its experience in this lifetime. When cloning someone your genes are shared with this other vehicle which allows another soul in to come and inhabit this. As genes are all connected with one another it might dampened the growth of your soul evolution.
  • Yes, you are a blueprint, and you were designed by the Oversoul for a purpose that only you can do.
  • I didn’t a while ago, but thinking about whether the soul can be cloned and if that clone will be recognised as a clone or a human, I realised I do have objections.
  • The creation of clones is dangerous as these are soulless entities.
  • I feel genetic engineering is morally wrong. Selective breeding however is ok. 
  • This is another intricate one. The question I beckon is if the essence and life force from which the clone has come, is in the clone. If so, I do not think this is right. Because it can cause immense energetic implications personally for the one from which the clone comes and also in the realm of existence’s equilibrium.
  • Yes, it feels wrong, though I could see the value in body parts. Would a clone have a soul? We don’t know, so we cannot foresee the consequences of manufacturing soulless humans.
  • If you were only able to clone yourself by yourself then yes. If people and governments was in charge – hell to the no.
  • 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, I think it’s immoral and humans will never use it for the right reasons. Although I don’t think there are any right reasons. Why would you want to clone. It won’t work. There will be no spirit.
  • I think nature knows what’s its doing. And mankind doesn’t. Simply because we can clone, doesn’t mean we should. There are too many unknowns. Cloning fruit 🍓 cloning soldiers. Cloning people? Where does it end. I’m against man meddling in unknown sciences.

QUESTION 99

WHAT DO YOU CURRENTLY SEE AS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO YOU HAPPINESS?

The following answers were provided:

  • My own attitude my own belief systems.

Nothing can exist without its counterpart, in that, loss of happiness is an opportunity to regain it with new knowledge that increase our wisdom.

  • My partner is much older than me, at 77. My deepest concern is him losing his health, his mind, or dying.

QUESTION 100

DEFINE MAGIC

  • The following answers were received:
  • The amazing things that happen every day that you thought not possible. We must just be aware and look for it.
  • Magic is the ability to allow your wishes to be manifested in this dimension. It is a complete surrender of the ego self to allow God and Mom to do it all for you.
  • Things or experiences that are not of this world as we perceive it.
  • There is stage magic that includes sleight of hand, illusions and science. And magic seen in movies can be described as using forces and spells to manipulate reality.
  • Magicians dapple in the occult and many work with demons.
  • The ability to do things which defy the laws of physics. 
  • The ability to consciously control energy.
  • Magic is the use of unknown forces to achieve “apparently” impossible results.
  • Something that can be recreated without explanation or understanding of how.
  • 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.
  • when everything aligns (your mood, the situation, everything around you) and you feel it’s the perfect moment. You just have that amazing feeling about what is happening. I think that is magic. We don’t always get the moments where its magic there is always something missing. Like it could be the perfect moment, but you feel bad. 
  • Something that bends our concept of reality.

QUESTION 101

IF YOU WERE GIVEN THE CHOICE TO WORK WITH CHILDREN OR INDIVIDUALS OLDER THAN 70 WHAT WOULD YOUR CHOICE BE?

83.3% of participants indicated children.

8.3% of participants indicated older individuals.8.3% of participants indicated – neither.

QUESTION 102

DEFINE A PRAYER?

The following answers were received:

  • A time that you ask for what you want. Where you direct your life. Where you define the feeling and ask for more of those.
  • It is your ability to commune with the heart that has a direct link with God and Mom our divine parents.
  • Talking to the Over Soul.
  • It’s a way of communication between you and God.
  • A conversion with God.
  • A request to God or some spiritual entity/deity. 
  • Setting the ego aside, become soft and meek, reaching out to those of higher levels of consciousness and most probably resources to intervene when my human self cannot.
  • A prayer is a calling out to a force/s or beings requesting some form of assistance.
  • Talking to an imaginary force.
  • A prayer is intention. As humans, we have always searched for something more. An answer to the mysteries in life, why we are here and who we are. It is in our multidimensional part, and it affects us all the time. It has been explained through religions, where humans have to do and think and be in certain ways in order to be accepted by some God. That is very much in line with old energy, where it was about survival of the fittest. We needed something to rely on, a force stronger than anything else, not realizing that we ARE the source. It reflects to our God -part. A prayer is words, send out as an intention, our DNA listen, as well as our support group of higher consciousness, which know everything and see the whole system. Our DNA is responding to our words, it is energy that is sent out and, in a loop, it returns with something that respond with the intention. Our multidimensional part knows, it has been with us every lifetime and it is very much aware why we pray and what we pray for, much more aware than our conscious selves.
  • putting energy into something you really want.
  • A solemn incantation connecting to Source or Spirit.

QUESTION 103

DO YOU PRAY – EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER – WHY DO YOU OR DON’T YOU?

67% of participants indicated that they do pray.

Participants provided the following answers:

  • Yes, I do I ask God for what I want. I thank God for what I have.
  • Daily there is a meditation activation routine that I do. Though rather than praying I remain open to the messages that will come through. Have also written a Mission Statement that is a prayer to bring into manifestation the dream that is in our heart.
  • No not in the traditional way but I do have conversations with the Over Soul.
  • Sometimes. I still seek a connection with God or the Creator, but you can knock only so many times before wondering if there is no-one home.
  • All the time.
  • No because I don’t consider God has a personal interest in individuals. 
  • Yes, I do. I humbly admit my lack and seek the assistance of those that has and can provide assistance.
  • I do, but not often. Mostly it gives me comfort even though I don’t really believe in it anymore.
  • No, does not make any logical sense to me. If there was truly a divine channel – I would feel too undeserving to ask for any free assistance to live and would have trouble saying thanks for things I feel I archived through hard work.
  • I talk to my support group all the time. Not to get anything, but to tell what my intentions are and support to understand what I receive and what to do with it. 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.
  • Yes, I do but I don’t say amen. Its normally just a request or a thank you that I give to the universe. I do this because it feels like the energy is then directed into the request I have and also to show gratitude for all that I am given.
  • I do pray, often. Because I believe we are co-creators with the Creator, and I believe in Angels that are waiting to offer assistance, so I send up prayers to both, to guide me and guard me, to bring assistance and guidance, for things to happen in the best possible way.

QUESTION 104

ARE OUR LIVES PREDETERMINED? (EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER)

The following answers were provided:

  • We do choose our own life paths. Free will always overrides.
  • There is free will that is given to us that can create a shortening of our lives. This free will can take us through the journey of the ego I which can create so much distress in us that we can end prematurely, or we can step into the soul energy once we do that yes indeed it is predetermined and decided before you come into this reality.
  • No, we have free choice to create our lives and there are many avenues.
  • I feel there is a path that you are connected to like a magnet. the path isn’t straight or obvious if you are too far away, but you can still feel the calling in your heart that you are drawn to. The choice is still yours to follow the path.
  • Yes, there is a greater plan. But we can alter our life path as we have freedom of choice.
  • There does seem to be a degree of predetermined destiny in our lives, but we do have the power of choice and can change outcomes if we act to do so. 
  • Yes – but many factors, including freewill, past life energies and influences from projected energy can reset or shift this. We are bound by contracts in the soul aspect prebirth. But I also believe that in fact this is a trap. Going in to the light, being told everything you messed up (everyone one messes up, everyone) just to be told you have debts now and responsibility. It’s a trap to use us.
  • To some extent. No one is entirely free, since our very body affects the choices, we make and the outlook we have.
  • No, what is the point of live if you have no free will.
  • The moment we take our inbreath and start on a new journey in this realm, we put on our energy soup of all the lifetimes we have been here and start go on living it. 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.
  • I don’t think so. Maybe some things. I think we came for the experience.
  • No, I believe we choose a set of challenges to work through, experiences we think will lead us to experience what we seek. We reincarnate in waves, and so will always be meeting with souls we know from another life, but we have free will to create life. To change things. To experience life.

QUESTION 105

WHAT IN YOUR OPINION IS THE GREATEST WORK OF ART?

Other answers received are:

  • God’s creation, especially the human being.
  • The mysteries and the construction of the pyramids and obviously what they were used for.
  • Nature.
  • I don’t know.
  • Michael Angelo’s works.
  • The sculptured faces at Mount Rushmore.
  • The web of existence.
  • Nature.
  • The ocean.
  • 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.
  • Cats (animals and nature – specifically the ocean).
  • I have a hard time defining something as The Best. The Sistine chapel is amazing in terms of scope and effort.

QUESTION 106

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE SIN?

The following answers were received:

  • There is no such thing as sin.
  • Missing the target which is your soul purpose. Though again if your unconscious it is difficult to take complete ownership as you came into a world that is unconscious.
  • Harming someone else.
  • Its every person’s own perception of what is wrong and not acceptable.
  • The absence of God in your life.
  • Breach of a moral code which you have tacitly agreed with. 
  • This is religious. Sin is missing the mark of a set of rules used by manipulators of our existence, to keep us seeking their approval and staying stuck in submission to them as the only source of salvation.
  • The lack of respect for the created caused by ignorance and not wanting to evolve/learn.
  • Any action that negatively impacts the functioning society. Throwing trash next to the road. Risking lives by driving recklessly. Not contributing to improving society. Etc.
  • There is no sin, only experiences. There is no right or wrong, only experiences. Every thought, emotion, word and action we express, create energy movement and manifest itself as something that has consequences. It is those consequences we judge as right or wrong, as sin or not sin, though it is only experiences that can help us choose different to create something better.  
  • When you knowingly do something to hurt someone.
  • A made-up concept created to keep man in place and in fear of God.

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:

  • I’m not really interested in symbols.
  • The Kabbalah for it comes from a period that is completely forgotten. The symbols carry frequency and vibration that can only be felt rather than studied.
  • None – symbols have different meanings to different people. A few years ago it would have been a cross but now I don’t have one as I have moved away from that.
  • The infinity symbol.
  • The pyramid as it personifies the greatest mysteries in the world.
  • The infinity symbol because it shows the permanence of ourselves as spiritual beings. 
  • Currently, the Gebo rune is the major symbol I relate to. It has personal significance and shows I have broken through the matrix (manipulators lie) to see what things are and that in fact happiness is something for me too.
  • None in particular.
  • Golden ratio spiral, hexagons. Incorporated in nature – feels like it’s part of the building blocks of live.
  • 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 Reiki 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 closer. 
  • Probably a star of a heart. Star feels like something spiritual maybe it’s because of the star in the bible. I am always drawn to a heart symbol. Don’t know why. It’s always something I would draw. It represents love for me.
  • I love Celtic knots, but the Metatron cube is profoundly significant.

Participants indicated –

Yes – 50%

No – 42%

  • They should rather remove their instrument and let them live with that.
  • Castration without anaesthetic would be more fitting.
  • Yes – if done out of self-choice, this implies paedophilia for which there is no cure or treatment. If a person says they were forced for some reason, I beckon why they did not choose to die rather. Hard, but it is a child you have wronged in the most terrible way, not to mention the impact on that soul.
  • Yes, incredibly harmful and truly evil. If the result was death, it might happen less frequently.

QUESTION 109

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

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

Explanations provided:

  • Yes, given the choice one has to take into account if they want to do it. If it is their choice, then we should not interfere. With ones that are unconscious and cannot make
  • Currently yes. If one has not experienced real pain they might not agree. But unbearable pain is real and does take away from life quality, completely.
  • Yes, by free will.
  • Without a doubt. We should have sovereignty of our own life. Choice to exit gracefully when faced with dying in pain. Ike cancer or other terrible diseases that slowly Rob us of life. And we should be allowed to choose to end the pain of someone who is dying.

  • Working towards self-improvement to such an extent that it positively affects myself and my family’s future – Really putting effort into this in the last 3 years.
  • 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.
  • No, I don’t. I am trying to figure out what my passion is. But I think it’s something in the line of helping people in the small ways they need from me. Sometimes it is making them a gnome or a T-shirt that makes them happy. That gives me joy to see people happy.

  • Try to remember it is “his stuff” not mine.
  • When logical argument fails, I withdraw into silence or leave the room. 
  • Step back. Review myself in that situation. Allow myself to also get angry, point finger a little but not buy into to this. Then forgive myself and the other and if or when they are ready, talk about the conflict to determine how to better handle this energy in the future.
  • Think about it, talk about it, analyse what happened and where I or other are to blame, have a council (using the talking stick).

  • 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.
  • my first reaction is not to speak and just be on my own, but I have learned not to blame my partner. Try and look at the issue logically and see what is needed in that moment. So, I take a moment. Think what is needed. And then we talk about the issue. I also try and listen and apologize for my part and not just say it’s their fault. This does not always work but we always talk it through. No screaming. Just calm. We don’t like conflict. But my first reaction is always to take a step back.
  • I back down, walk away rather than fight, I let people do them. It’s an acceptance that we all different. If it’s a misunderstanding, I try and straighten it out, but over time. The next day maybe. I never pursue and argument, I think hot heads speak words in anger that are more hurtful than helpful.
