Late last year my boss said something that angered me. She said, “and what will this make you, who will you be”, this was after I completed my psychology honour exams. Having my identity challenged I realised is a trigger as it is something I have personally been trying to figure out for myself. Who am I? The other aspect of her statement that angered me is she had been playing mind games with me for many months, keeping me just slightly off balance. I got intensely angry as I couldn’t voice the frustration I felt with what she said, I do feel she knows what she is doing she is a doctor. I have worked closely as her secretary for 12 years now. I have seen how she skill-fully uses such manipulative tactics to get the results that suite her. Funny thing is I admire her and think highly of her. I feel like such a contradiction at times. I see the good and bad in her and still admire her. The above was written in 2020. The boss mentioned above died from long covid. Now – The present boss, the CEO, recently triggered my fear response (I was stuck in the fear response for a whole week) which had me going back last month for counselling. I realised I needed help with my stuck emotions. I also have a problem processing my emotions. It has started to improve but it is slow going.

QUESTION 42

WHAT IS YOUR CONCEPT OF GOD?

Participants provided the following answers:

Not a person but the universe.
God is everywhere, source of energy, is where we come from and where we return.
A gracious and loving being.
He is there, always and He has a plan. He is the father no dad will ever come close the being. He is the life in all things.
Someone who is all knowing and non-judgemental.
Higher being of consciousness, ruler of the universe.
He/she definitely exists, but not I the context of the Bible.
He exists, is the supreme being, made us but isn’t taking an acting part in creation anymore, learns from us/through us.
There is only God – God is everything.
All-encompassing the creator of the universe.
The universe.
God is love, God cannot be mentioned, he is energy, is everywhere.
Not sure.
There is only God and nothing else.
Don’t have one.
Don’t have one.
Some kind, wise old man floating up above.
A supreme being.
Believe in him, but keep my distance.
We are all parts of universe expanding knowledge of itself through experiences.
The creator, the healer, the forgiver.
God created everything and is a constant presence providing spiritual guidance to all who seek it.
A higher power, almighty divine, comes in many different religions, always there to support us.
Devine creative force comprising a universal consciousness, energy source, unconditional love.
Not sure.
Everything is manifestation of it.
Unconditional love.
Don’t see God as God of the bible, but as source that created everything.
A Supreme Consciousness.
God is loving but just. God is God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit – all 3.
I view “God” not as a being but rather as a pervasive energy that is around us if we are mindful. The Source
Quantum. We are all god particles.
The light, Creator of souls. (beginning of souls)
That I’m being punished and never good enough even though I really belief & try very hard.
Universal consciousness and energy
I think of the Universe as everything around me and connected with everything.
God exists.
I believe we are all part of God; we are all God; we are all one and the same thing.
A collective consciousness
LOVE
Father / Mother God.
Not the one in the Church. It is a Divine Essence, or energy, we are all part of it and trying to get back to that energy. It is all love. We all have the god essence inside of our being.
The current understanding is that God is the divine masculine Energy, and his counterpart is Mom which is the divine feminine Energy. Together they are the source of all of creations we experience in this relative world and beyond.
a higher power all around us.
Its energy & supportive.
He is everywhere at all times.
I believe in the universe. I believe we are all created in a God image and can manifest and create what we need in our lives. I don’t believe that God is a fearful and revengeful got.
Hmm I like Neal Donald Walsh’s vision. The All That Is. Or GUS God/Universe/Source … There is a Something massive and profound, we are co-creators with it. Certainly not anything like the Christian God, or any other mainstream religion God’s. The little we see and know in terms of maths and quantum physics a d even astrology is only a glimpse at the framework of “God”.
I call it Source or Cosmic Consciousness. We are all connected and part of Source (God). We all have ‘God’ inside of us. ‘God’ does not have human attributes – humans like to assign such attributes to ‘God’ to make sense of the concept. We are all an extension of ‘God’ – therefor we are all connected and one with all of existence. We are ‘God’ and ‘God’ is us.
I do believe in God but know that science has proved that the earth and planets started with a big bang etc, so where does that leave the lines in Genesis about creation? I also accept the theory of evolution. So many contradictions and mysteries! These questions have consumed and puzzled far brighter people than me without a “definitive answer”! Given that so many peoples and cultures have some form of a “greater being” there must then probably be a God.
Benevolent omniscient presence / energy of whom we are all a part. Bored, or at the very least uncaring voyeur with a twisted sense of humour.
God is everything not an individual.
Collective consciousness

He’s real and there is a creator of the universe but not the one mentioned in the bible.
Universal
I do not have a single fixed concept. From the age of about five until the present day I still have difficulty with the idea that either God was always there, or that God created itself out of nothing. I do not believe in a male God though.
Is there a God?
The Source, The Knower and Understander of all things, The Mystic, The Fearless, Love.
I believe in a Higher-being, non-specific.
Indescribable.
Do not have one.
I used to think he was a punishing God, now I use the word Creator and think of him as loving, generous. I am still improving this relationship.

Is the ability to trust your gut. That your heart and your gut must align and have a light sensation. It is also a knowing without thinking.
Something you sense, a feeling of just knowing. I believe it is a sense as real as sight and hearing. Definitely something you can work on and intensify.
To me it’s like an inner knowing, or feeling or sometimes like a whisper – so I guess it’s connected to the ‘clairs’.
An inner ability to understand something without any conscious thought. An inner feeling.
A deeper level of awareness.
A feeling.
An internal knowing without physical proof.
Just knowing something without applying my mind to it. Gut feeling.
A feeling or an instinct. I would sometimes have dreams that played out to be true later in life.
Universal connection, and guardian.
I define it as it was defined by Shakti Gawain: something supernatural, something that comes from external sources. What exactly those sources are I’ve not seen explanations of. Some people would call it the universe. Someone would say from ancestors.
The strong inner feeling.
Trusting yourself and knowing.

QUESTION 54

WHAT IS YOUR CONCEPT OF DEATH?

Participants provided the following answers:

Moving on.
End of this incarnation.
When your soul leaves your physical body to return to the whole.
A chosen time for everyone to go.
Just a dot on a continuous line.
Body dies but the soul still carry on into a new life/parallel.
The spirit will live on. Death is just another process we go through on a never-ending journey.
Just a step to another plane.
Our consciousness leave the body and we become orbs or are in a higher energy plane.
Soul lives on.
You leave your body and move to another space.
Not the end, transfer of the soul from the earthly state in a human body to after life.
Joining those from past lives and another opportunity to return to earth.
You cannot die; you will come back till you are enlightened and return to source.
Don’t know.
End of physical body.
Returning to spiritual world.
Sadness.
Transition into a new space of being.
End of trying to fulfil purpose.
A stage in our eternal existence.
Moving into the next level of existence or wee reincarnate to learn more lessons.
End of physical existence at which time the soul exits the body and merges with a higher vibration/consciousness, source.
Soul leaving the physical body and going back to its soul group.
Natural changeover, leaving physical body while retaining consciousness.
Going back home.
I am immortal and move on to the next experience for my souls growth.
Departure from your physical body into the astral heavens.
Death is just the body leaving this earthly world and the soul to enter life everlasting (or eternal hell).
There is a beyond and if needed we re-incarnate or transcend.
Leaving your human body behind and moving on to higher dimensions.
Body die, Soul lesson is learned or paused, soul going back to soul group, soul family.
I fear it.
The body dies but the spirit lives forever. I believe in reincarnation. I believe we decide on and create our own destiny in life and after life.
When my life purpose is done, I will pass out my body to start another journey.
When it is your time, it’s your time, but you have to accomplish certain things before death will occur. God has already decided when death will occur.
We don’t die. We just evolve.
It can happen in an instant or a slow process. After that I would like to believe that our consciousness will enter into another form of its choice.
The end of my physical body and a transition to the spiritual realm.
A letting go of the physical and a journey into the afterlife for the spirit.
Energy transition. Going back to a place of unconditional love. Getting out of 3-dimensional living and if you have Karma, healing, getting lessons and preparing for your next round to finish your karma.
There is no death. The soul is eternal, so death is the idea of the I – the ego aspect of us. The body is part of the earth energy and will return to her once the soul leaves. So, Death of the ego is the only death that exists.
Unsure.
We all have to die eventually.
I believe in karma, so the cycle goes on until you have reached moksha.
I am not afraid to die as I believe that from the moment, we are born we die a little every day. That we were born to learn life lessons and live our life purpose and once we have accomplished that or our time is up we leave.
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. I love Jonathan Livingston Seagull and that concept of life, and death is quite similar to what I believe.
There is no death, it’s only a transition to another realm – you only leave behind your physical 3D body but your consciousness / soul lives on.
There are two levels to this. Firstly, the physical demise of the body as a very complex machine, of which we really do not know as much as the medical people purport or pretend to! This is when the physical and chemical systems can no longer cope and / or do their job as a result of disease or accidents and just stop functioning. The mind can also persuade the body that it, the person’s brain, no longer wants to keep going in their current state and decide that it is time to go. A mind over matter type scenario. Secondly, the spiritual aspect where the soul / spirt moves to another place. There are far too many books written about people dying and then coming back and talking of this other place for it to be untrue that there is “another place”. Summary – I have mentioned these as “proof’ that there is clearly another place to which a dead person’s soul /spirit goes after death.
Depending on how I feel: A natural / normal part of life – the end of this life and a waiting period before the next life. Other times: a release from needless pain and suffering.
Going home.
A transition.
Death of the physical body, soul lives on.
We are eternal beings experiencing the 3rd dimension.
More like going back to the spiritual realm.
I believe in reincarnation, so that obviously is the key influence in one’s concept of death. This is the final end of a physical body, a body that one’s immortal soul occupies just once, a body that does not resurrect as per the Christian religion.
Just crossing the bridge to another world.
Leaving the human body but energy stays in the universe. Still present, and maybe the time to be a guide to others, or support or help.
Your soul continues to live on in another dimension.
When mortality is exchanged for immortality.
End of life and everything.
Transition home.

Feeling very strongly about some ideal to the extent that you would be willing to make it happen or something that makes you feel so good that you do not want to stop doing it, or something that you do that makes your life feel more meaningful.
Unconditional love.
A feeling of being completely enthralled and absorbed in or by something that I am almost compelled to embrace it.
A strong emotion that sometimes I can’t even control.
Ones desire of heart.
A strong or intense desire to do something.
Being treated with respect.

QUESTION 64

WHAT HAS LIFE TAUGHT YOU SO FAR?

Participants provided the following answers:

To accept things as they are and be grateful.
People and situations in life are just what they are and that you by paying attention to it and making it part of yourself can make it bad or good for yourself.
Not to compromise self.
That personal growth can only be accomplished in combination with pain. That your attitude towards things and people determines your attitude in life, at work and in love. That there will always be more to learn in live.
That there are plenty and continuous life lessons to be learnt.
That nothing comes easily and sometimes life is just not fair.
You have to believe in yourself. Plan ahead. Don’t always trust everyone.
That i create and am responsible for my life.
That we are really looked after by our higher being and that we have the power to manifest whatever we want. Miracles and magic really do abound, and the angels are busy all of the time looking after us
It may not be as planned or expected.
I can do anything.
The only one I can rely on is my divine. without his help I am helpless, I have free choice.
That I don’t need someone to fulfil me, i can cope on my own, to be true to myself, to live in the now, that life goes on regardless of who or what or how I am.
That there are two parts one that is not really you called ego and then the real you the still one.
… and this will also pass …
Be careful.
That nothing is constant good and bad things will pass and try to enjoy every day as it comes.
Everybody has strengths and weaknesses.
That life is unfair.
Sometimes one needs to stand up for the rights of others, even if you know they can’t or wont appreciate it or even know of it sometimes. even if this has a detrimental effect on your own life.
That you should learn from your past but not let it define you, that we should be making the most of each opportunity we have. That each person or animal is as important as the next year. That you should never judge anyone as you have no idea what path they have had to walk.
That I don’t know anything. everything is connected. there is order in the universe and karma is the balancing of the books.
Life can be unpredictable until we take control of our thoughts and start shaping our own futures. our thoughts and feelings are very powerful.
Life is all about choices. no matter what life throws at us it is up to us to choose how to react.
Look after yourself first.
Diversity of opinion
Don’t live in my head – connect with people
That everything is an experience for your souls growth, and that life happens for us and not to us. we have a choice to create the reality that we want.
The ‘truth’ out there mostly lies.
Life is unfair and nothing is cast in stone, but that besides all this – life is beautiful.
Hard work doesn’t always pay off, cultivating a habit of learning can get you out of deep holes, Suffering is real, but not forever.
That I am Sovereign and completely in charge of my own destiny.
Do not trust people, leave people to make their own mistakes, do not judge them just be there for them.
That it is not fair and that people leave.
That love is all there is.
That all the pain and joy I have experienced have been my own choices and that I am totally responsible for every single thought, action and result of every single day. Literally, I can change my mood by changing my thought process and be accountable for my life.
People is unpredictable, and do not always consider what you tell them.
So much, I couldn’t even begin to articulate it here. In a nut shell to love myself. It’s all a journey to selflove I believe.
That it is mostly a shit show.
That nothing is guaranteed and that people are capable of great personal change.
You can choose who stays in your life but it can be lonely when you cut ties. I have cut ties with all my family of origin since my dad died. However, my healing journey only started after I did that. I wrote the above previously. Now I would say it is possible to heal oneself and to learn to love yourself.
That genuine kindness is extremely powerful and so needed on this planet. In every single thing we as humans do, if we can just use kindness, the world would be a better place.
Every choice you make has a price and an effect.
Respect people’s journeys, recognise the frequency that they are vibrating at and then use discernment if you are prepared to ‘dance’ with that.
Nothing stays the same for ever, stay on point with what’s happening in the world, keep close to friends and family. Everybody is human with flaws and their own insecurities.
You can only rely on yourself. It’s all in your own hands.
Be good, be honest be authentic.
Don’t sweat the small stuff as everything in life is just small stuff. You can always be there for someone in what seems like small ways to you but can drastically change their life. It takes nothing to be kind to others. You only fully understand unconditional love when you give birth to a child. Do not hold onto your worldly possessions and cling to them because you can’t take them with you when you die and those left behind don’t actually care about the things that were so precious to you. Life is for living not just surviving. If you don’t love your self how can you love others. You manifest anything in your life, you just need to believe in yourself and never lose hope. Where we are in our live is a direct result of our own choices and we also have the choice to change our mind whenever we want to. Everything we will ever need is within us we just need to be still enough to listen. Always be grateful for the small things, as they have the power bring about great change. We were born alone and we leave alone, the people, places and things that are with use along this journey are of our own choice, they either bring reflection or refraction. We are responsible for our own happiness.
To trust myself, to listen to advice but never act against my own gut feeling. Nothing lasts forever. I’m stronger than I realised.
To really let go of everything you try to control, that is outside of yourself, because believing that we have control over anything outside of ourself, is an illusion. We have control over our own decisions, and then you also need to take responsibility for your choices in life. Change is inevitable… might as well just flow with it, it makes the journey so much more interesting and less challenging. Like Buddha said, ‘the only constant in life is change’, so allowing change to happen makes life less challenging.
What goes around comes around back to you! If you are respectful and friendly to all people it will be return to you in time. Mostly in the most unexpected and unlikely situations. A kind of Karma! Hard work, commitment based on integrity is the key. Don’t do anything that will cause you sleepless nights! I try to live my life according to the “Four Agreements” – as described by Don Miguel Ruiz. [see attached] Be Impeccable with your word. Don’t take anything personally. Don’t make assumptions. Always do your best.
You can be as clever as you want, but when you’re screwed up emotionally, you’re screwed up and that’s what determines your actions. Try to understand yourself and your motives first. Things are only as meaningful as we think they are at a certain point in time. People’s perceptions of things are determined by their perspective and they are entitled to their opinions. Some people cannot and should not be ‘helped’ or ‘rescued’.
We are an ever-evolving being, our only control is ourselves to be happy for no external reason is our goal.
That I know nothing. That there is so much to learn and do.
What the mind can conceive the mind can achieve. But only with the right emotion and on the right frequency. Reality is an illusion, and our environment is based solely on our projection of reality. My struggle to all of this has been deep routed belief systems.
We have so much power and authority; with a need to learn on how to master that for our own benefit and ultimately, humanity at large.
If one disregards scientific, technological and economic advances, the humans have evolved very a little since 2000 to 3000 years ago. There is still bias and discrimination against women, though far less than say 40-50 years ago. When we are young, we think we can change the world. In our 40s or 50s we get to know that we cannot change the evils in the world, but we need to be positive and do what we can to make the world a better place.
Not to trust anybody.
Know thyself before seeking comfort or peace with others, yet one knows oneself through being in relations with others – life can be paradoxical. What you think (watch, read, eat, associate with etc) will determine the quality of your life…and spend time in nature. Your strength is your gift and your challenge. Being intelligent is nice, but it’s a life best lived when balanced with the heart. Having kids taught me an awful lot about myself and life. Try to learn to trust your intuition when young. You won’t be liked by everyone: don’t let it stop you from being yourself, admitting when you’re wrong, and growing to be better. Be kind, it costs nothing, and makes your life so much better.
To be humble but not a pushover. Life’s a bitch and then you die.
Never to trust people.
I can be happy with very little.
Your attitude and subconscious beliefs determines if you suffer or thrive.

Make the choice to rely on your divine, to ask his help with all your undertakings. Accept a disappointment, carry on with your work have patience and confidence.
Live in the moment, don’t dwell on the past or fear for the future. That we are largely not in control as much as we would like to think we are. Not to take life so seriously. To be true to yourself regardless of what others think or say. To have fun whenever you can. To show emotion: laugh, cry, scream, sing. Retain your individuality.
Live your life in this very moment of now. The past is gone, and we do not live there anymore. The future does not exist. For 10 minutes from now still does not exist only now does exist.
Live with integrity, be honest in what and how you approach life.
Get an education, develop an eq as well.
Don’t worry about what other people think of you, follow your dream and have fun. Also cherish the ones you have.
Make the best of what you can do.
Live everyday of your life as if it were your last.
No one can take away the essence of who you are.
Forgive. It doesn’t make you wrong, or the other person right, but allows you both freedom from the burden of the hurt.
Always question and investigate and decide for yourself. Learn to ignore criticism that is not constructive. Learn to discern between constructive feedback and criticism sprouting from other people’s fear and envy. Live now, don’t postpone your life.
Take control of your own mind and shape your future with your thoughts. Learn to meditate and make it a part of your daily life. Love is powerful, harness it and practise it with all life forms. Open your mind to the endless possibilities of the universe, believe in other life forms that exist in the universe. Be creative and don’t be afraid to express yourself.
Never give up, things are never as bad as they may seem. If problems, seem insurmountable there is nothing wrong with asking for advice.
You are not entitled to anything if you’ve not earned it.
Get away from dogma.
Don’t sweat the small stuff.
Never be afraid to be authentically you.
Question everything and look inward.
Always give your best in everything you do and always be your-self. Never try and impress others – for you lose yourself in that process.
Question everything, be open to learning anything, realise that you know very little.
Go within. You have everything you need inside you. Understand frequency and you will understand the world/universe better. Ignore all the propaganda in the outside world.

Do not get too attached to people because they will let you down eventually.
Take responsibility for your own life, live in the moment and love yourself.
Believe that you are the most incredibly powerful being and that you are in charge of your destiny!

Use kindness in all your dealings, dealings with humans, dealings with animals, dealings with the planet and also yourself!
Be yourself do not try to fit in and if there is no one walking your talk then do it alone at least you will be walking with your dignity. Do not waste your time on things that are distraction to your vision or dream.
Don’t get caught up in the mainstream, stay true to yourself, believe in yourself and you will succeed.
Find ways to be happy everyday & always know what goes down, comes up again. Enjoy life & risk more.
Dream big.
All the items listed in the previous question.
Keep doing the small things, they become big things over time. Believe in yourself. Trust your instincts. Don’t underestimate how much things can change. Hold on to people who love and care about you. Follow your curiosity and take yourself seriously. Invest in yourself and do the things that call to you, even if you can explain why.
Don’t let fear hold you back from what you truly desire in life, follow your heart and not only your logic, believe in yourself, live with passion for yourself, be kind and compassionate to others. Enjoy the journey and make time for everything and everyone you love. Afterall, this lifetime you are living is but a drop in an ocean of your existence.
Love and respect your parents. Be respectful to your elders as one day you too will be old. Be humble. Study hard and work hard. Always be kind. You have no idea or inkling of what kind of journey the other person has travelled. “Listen before you think, before you speak – take a deep breath, or two” I have this on card which I take into every meeting I attend and put it face down on the table and look at it often as a reminder. [Attached is a photo of it]. A wise man once said ‘Nothing”. Often silence is the best answer because you cannot be misquoted later. “Think deeply, speak softly, love much, laugh often, work hard, give freely, pay promptly, pray earnestly and BE KIND’.
It is not your right / job / responsibility to change people. Try to understand yourself and what you can / want / need to change about yourself. Try to make the world a better, happier place with small acts where and when you can. And the most important lesson, ‘This too shall pass’.
Never lose your Wimsey ability to dream and Understand law of attraction.
Forgive but don’t forget, learn from your mistakes and those of others, never to be repeated.
Give of yourself. Be humble. Be true to who you are and let that lead you in all things.
You’re not perfect the way you are and don’t strive to be. Rather strive to become better than you were yesterday and never stop working on yourself. Stagnation doesn’t mean you’re stuck it means your regressing. Never stop, become a monster.
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of wisdom”.
Be kind, have integrity, have empathy, value your family and your friendships, study hard when you are young. Do not let the love of money become the main motivator in your life. If you’re married and if you have children, spend enough time with your spouse and your children during the early years of your marriage – that will spare you from regrets when you get older.
Trust your instinct.
Ask a lot of questions, of yourself and others, and try to identify as young as possible what is good for you.
Live your life to the fullest, every day is a blessing.
Enjoy yourself – it is the best instrument you have.
Life is short – enjoy the journey.
Everyone is your mirror, if they have it, you have it. The people you admire have good traits that you also have, the people you hate / despise have traits that you also have.

“At this moment in time, to finish this life time properly and work through all my karma so that I don’t have to come back to this 3 dimensional planet earth.
And at the same time, find what it is I’m supposed to do from here on. And DO IT properly.”

My garden birds make a noise; they wait to be fed/work/enjoy breakfast with my daughter.
Each day is a fresh start, yesterday is a memory tomorrow a dream so today is all we have to change the things from yesterday we did not like and to move ourselves forward towards our dreams.
To tackle the day! If I’m on a mission, it’s easy. There are rainy days, when I’m bleak, that I could honestly stay in bed for ever and those days it’s a struggle to get moving. So, I guess what gets me out of bed is my mindset about the day.
I love to watch the first light, sitting outside, drinking my coffee and watch how everything changes from dark to light. It reminds me every day that no matter how dark things seem in your life or in general, the light will always come.
There is so much still to do, see and get involved in.

Atlantis or life amongst the early Blackfoot tribe who settled around Canada in about 1200.

Atlantis I was a healer and as part of the tribe I felt like I belonged and was loved. Life in both was fulfilling.
I really don’t know.
The one time I would love to have been here, was in the beginning when all the fields and mountains were full of animals and plants, all undisturbed, I would have loved to have seen that, but to have lived in those times I would be to have been alive when the human was still a cave man.

The uncomfortableness of living in that time aside, I think the age of invention, discovery and exploration.

Your good intentions and compassionate voice come through very strongly in the anecdotes and exercises you share. For years doubts and external ‘abuse’ prevented me for doing this. Just these few sentences initially every time that I read them send shivers throughout my body.
I have the ability to disarm anyone; people are comfortable around me.
No one they have met is more positive than me & I’m always smiling.
I am inspiring.
That others would like to be able to download all my knowledge. That the massage they have received from me was just what they needed and that they would return for another one.
Being told that I did all I could taking care of my elderly mother.
I went to see an energy healer that helped me with my back problem. While he worked on me, he said “Wow, you hold so much light – can you feel it? – Darkness must be very attracted to you” And up to that point in my life I never really believed that I held much light – but in that moment I realized why I have been struggling with so many issues and people in my life.
He can always be relied upon to get it done to the best of his abilities. I was once called erudite by a senior SA banker which was very flattering but nice.
That I seemed to be able to help people get the devil off their back.
Being an inspiration.
When I handed over the reins of organising a big event – I was told it won’t be as good as I would have made it.
I have been called a national treasure.
My eyes, the Bedroom and my smile.
Being emotional healer.
Greetings my Mentor, Coach and most significant motivator in the technical arena. Today I looked back and can thank you over a Million times for being available to a few Eersterust guys who studied Radio and Communication Technology from the Technical College.

QUESTION 70

DEFINE A RELATIONSHIP IN GENERAL – THE CONCEPT OF A RELATIONSHIP – FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

Participants provided the following answers:

Interaction between different parties.
Two people who accept and respect each other just the way they are where the one doesn’t try to change the other to be like himself.
Sharing common beliefs, feelings and working towards achieving similar goals in a personal and social capacity.
It is a friendship, a bond with a person. You have something in common. You share something special.
The connection of two people on a soul level.
It is a physical and emotional connection and the need to be supported in both aspects.
A special deep connection with someone that you wouldn’t ordinarily have with everyone around you.
The interaction between two people relationship is sacred and i or them are free to leave at any moment if they so choose.
When you choose to be with someone you love without official bonds – that each person’s choice to be in.
Soulmate.
Connection / give and take.
A bond between people based on love and friendship, equality, respect for each other.
Being connected to someone in a physical, emotional or spiritual sense.
When there is a connection and interaction of any sort
Honesty, trust, humour and love.
Trust.
One in which you can be yourself and express your feelings without fear of criticism and give and receive a lot of affection.
Give and take.
Partners that bring out the best in each other.
Any interaction with another person is a relationship, sharing energy.
Mutual understanding and good communication. Respect for each other’s beliefs & thoughts, feelings.
A relationship is where two people decide to trust each other and accept each other despite differences and respect each other enough to not break the trust.
The way in which two or more individuals interact and connect with each other, either through family, work or other.
A commitment because of common interests, respect, friendship.
Sharing everything.
Mutual respect, understanding & compassion.
A best friend you can have sex with.
Mental, emotional and physical harmony with another individual.
A relationship involves 2 or more people who have a connection and same interest and who don’t mind spending time together whether they talk or not. And where both parties can just be.
A positive or negative emotional connection between any two people.
Mutual respect and appreciation, accepting the other person for who they are as an individual and allowing them to grow.
Connection, give and receive, care, admiration, love.
People connecting with each other on different levels (intellectual/spiritual etc). If the connection is positive, the relationship is enjoyable, if not the relationship is a pain.
Two people who enjoy each other’s company, have things in common and can trust one another and can have fun.
Understanding one another with little words.
There are so many different types of relationships that we engage in and participate in, and it would be impossible for me to define them all into one paragraph. In the broadest terms for me, it is an interaction between one or more souls for the purposes of soul evolution.
Relationships with people, pets, food, alcohol, drugs etc is the external search result we manifest based on the need to fill a void we have inside us.
A relationship should be between two people who can connect on an intellectual, emotional and spiritual level but be the yin and the yang for each other as and when necessary.
The way in which one or two people get along with one another. Relationships can be good or bad.
Interaction between two people where they both give and take and learn and teach, interact and share.
Most relationship deal with the I concept and as such it is fragmented. Love is then conditional which creates a dissonance with getting to deeper experiences of a union of two souls. This experience can only happen when the concept of I disappears.
Being able to bring out the best in the other person and complement one another, sharing the same interests and values.
Connection, peace, kindness, joy, laughter & trust.
Got to love yourself first then you can love others.
Is to accept who you each are as individuals that when you come together makes each of you whole, balanced. Not wanting to change the other but to love, accept and grow each other.
A bond between two people. An understanding or knowing. A way of relating to each other. Ideally one would be or mutual respect and understanding.
To me whether it is a friendship, partnership or any type of relationship; honesty, loyalty and kindness is very important. In any relationship, there should be a balance between give and take, compromise and honest communication.
It is a connection one has another person where there is a shared interest or a mutual need or just friendship whereby both parties can contribute to a better outcome, friendship or enhanced knowledge to the benefit of both and / or the entity in which one interacts.
An unwritten agreement between two people to fulfil each other’s specific needs at a specific time, for a specific purpose and for a specific duration.
Mutual respect, honesty above all else.
Depends on the relationship in question.
A two-way interaction between people.
A relationship is when two people come into each other’s lives either to add, take or learn something from one another.
Divine connection, with common “purpose”.
Mutual respect, trust, no secrets.
Outside of group structures, which I don’t like very much, I am more of a 1:1 relationship person. To relate to someone requires quality time together and listening with an open mind. Relationships are meaningful to me; I find it hard to be in a relationship that is superficial all the time, or where there is a sense of inequality. I can be light and fun with someone, but I really appreciate a relationship where I can be myself and feel accepted, and then being fun comes easy. I enjoy relationships where I can learn from others and there is mutual appreciation.
Connection with two or more people or things. Friendship, Marriage, sharing a common interest.
It is the closest one can come to unconditional acceptance, because, even knowing of all the taxing idiosyncrasies of an individual, will not deter the one to get to know the person fully, because of the respect and admiration for the greater qualities of character such an individual exudes.
Being happy and giving each other space to be themselves.
Someone you interact with regularly for whatever reason creates a relationship. These relationships can feel good or bad. Improving them requires us to improve the relationship / friendship with ourselves and our beliefs about the other person and the group they belong to / represent.

QUESTION 72

WHY DO YOU FEEL THAT AGE?

The following answers were received:

Still very active and enjoying life.
I’m physically quite fit for my age and mentally I have walked a long and difficult road and reached a place of great wisdom.
The start of my process of discovering self.
I feel I know enough now to live my life effectively and to make the good choices, but that I’m still young enough to have enough time to experience life as a single woman.
It was the age I became the real me/my authentic self.
I’m not at the same stage as others from my age.
I have so much energy, easily “click” with young adults from that age group and still enjoy all the activities I did when I was 19.
Because I feel that I have learnt a lot that I am wiser and more mature than people of my age
I have lots of energy, passion, still have masses to do.
Because I don’t feel the age I am – feel younger and relate better to younger people.
Not sure.
My body is noy so flexible anymore, but I’m independent.
It was a happy time in my life.
I still do things like when I was 21.
Because I’m still interested in exciting new discoveries and theories
Flexible.
Those were happy times when it seemed life would go on forever.
Because i am a positive type of being.
I am that age.
Difficult to explain.
Don’t know.
I’m mature enough to realize some things I’ll never be able to achieve or be, but optimistic and energetic enough to still want to achieve some other things.
It’s the best i have ever felt in my life.
I feel wiser than i did in my 3os and 4os and I’m starting to feel the wear and tear of age on my body.
I still have lots to do.
Was a good time.
I feel like there is so much more out there to learn.
Because i still love doing life.
Because I am still able to undertake activities of someone that age.
Body and mind still feel 27 and jet I feel I don’t have the knowledge and wisdom I thought I would have at 48.
Not sure.
I am healthy and I have so much to still achieve to help others while still in my human body.
Mature but not old.
I’m constantly exhausted and my hair is grey.
I don’t know – it was the first age coming into my head.
I’m fit and well and full of energy and full of hope.
Challenge for making change.
I feel fit enough and young enough to be 35 LOL.
At 60 I am arrears in years because I squandered the first 20 years on understanding how and what to be.
It’s the age where one has reached maturity but has potential for massive growth. I have a body and attitude and mind that seems younger than what it is.
I feel very tired. Life has been challenging and sometimes I just want to sit and do nothing, but I have this inner drive that drives me to continue doing and learning.
“I don’t know how old people perceive me to be.
Some days I feel 100 – cos I just feel like people are shallow and have no empathy or depth or understanding of how to live in harmony with each other and the planet. And they don’t have INSIGHT into LIFE. And also, because I’m just tired. Tired of being on this planet. My soul feels exhausted. Tired of being human.
Other days in my mind I feel 35, then I just feel happy and light and grateful that I know what I know. Cos I was wiser at 35, than when younger, yet still looked at the world as a place where I can make some kind of difference for the better. I still had a lot of energy and was a lot fitter. And a lot less disillusioned by life and humanity.”
Can say that this feeling of agelessness is something that we all might be experiencing before the formation of the conditioned mind.
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.
Energy & outlook
I am youthful and energetic.
There is still so much I have to share with others.
I’ve just turned 55, and I’m torn between accepting an aging body and a young attitude.
I feel young at heart.
I am still playing active sport. Our friends are in those age brackets. We have a long-standing friendship with a couple, and I shared a communal house with him in the 1970s and with whom I still play hockey, who live in a nearby retirement village. We visited them recently and we noticed that there are so many “old people” there who are probably in our age group 70s and a bit older, and I remarked to Helen later that we did not feel or look that old!
I have too much life experience to be in my twenties, but I feel way too young to be 53.
It was a time I became aware of spirit consciously started my purpose.
Depends on circumstances of the day.
Mentally sharp, physically capable.
It’s a mature state of being young.
I guess is merely on the fact that I missed most of my young adulthood as I got married at 18, and now catching up with time.
I still have the idealism that I had when I was a young adult.
Uncertain of life.
Physically, I feel young (34), but wise.
Due to constant health issues.
Old enough to be taken seriously, young enough to be excused for acting wanton in the mainstream perception of what attractive is supposed to be, and enjoying the reaction of both young and old, male and female without being considered inappropriate.
I am still young and fit.
I am a soul in an adult body. Health for example, is available to us at any age. We are not machines that wear out. If we do not regenerate it is due to belief systems, group consciousness, trauma and or lack of nutrients / building blocks. Souls can agree to transition at any age and age is not an illness. The higher your age, the more times you have been around the sun, in this body.

Accept the situation, experience the sadness and then move on.
Just let it be, I sit or lie and cry and feel I want to take the pain.
Spend alone time and go within.
Try to get to the root of the sadness, decide if I can change anything about it, if so, take action, take a warm bath and enjoy a glass of wine and accept, or go jogging and sweat a bit to clear the mind
Feel and acknowledge the hurt and the loss you experience, try and find the root cause and do what is needed to feel better and if not just let it be.
Think about the matter and become sadder.
Feel it for a bit, but move on quite soon.
Work through it.
Get over it.
Pull myself back in quiet and contemplate the subject of loss.
Withdraw completely, eat.
Let it flow, cry and try to remember moments of joy.
Intensely
Try to stop my mind from remembering all the kindness I could have given and didn’t.
It is a time for rejuvenation.
Cry a bit then realize it doesn’t help, then just move on and get over it.
I immerse myself in it completely.
Use eft to tap it out, but also exercise.
At first just experience it and don’t suppress it. The I go into it again and look for clues to the actual cause of the sadness by increasing different scenarios and check if it would change or eliminate the sadness.
Just go through the motions, they cannot be supressed otherwise it takes longer to grieve.

Just get over it.

I have a good cry, dry my eyes and try and look at what good I can take out of the experience – and move on.
It’s generally caused by things out of my control, so I am able to let it go quite easily. I know it’s just part of the law of polarity and to know Joy you sometimes need to feel sad.

Experience it, get a grip on it, understand it, and move on with your day.

It depends on the scenario – sometimes I retreat within, but I share my pain to that I can be comforted by others.
I walk it off. I distract myself. I don’t really deal with it well. It lingers on me.
I believe that you should feel an emotion, let it out when you do feel it. Crying helps but afterwards to do something uplifting or anything that makes you feel lighter, if you can. Although we don’t always feel like doing something uplifting when you are going through the trenches, but it is important not to dwell to deep and “get lost” in it.
I try to talk through my feelings with Helen, my wife of over 46 years, and or sometimes just retreat into silence and wish that the deceased person travels safely into the next life.
It depends. If I feel sad about something specific, I just let it flow over me, cry etc. until I’m done. Other times I ask myself, why am I feeling sad and I deconstruct it. Does it make sense or help me to feel sad? Do I have the right to feel sad? If it is ‘existential’ sadness, I let myself feel sad and stay away from people and the world until I feel better if I can.
Remind myself of my blessings and what is still to come.
Don’t dwell on it.
Absorb myself in something else.
Cry, meditate, talk about it, exercise.

Experienced great sadness with the deaths of my mother, my father, my wife and my brother. My wife helped me get over the sadness of the death of my mother. In a case of my wife, I had a lot of sadness for about two months, but I got through it relatively easily because of my belief in reincarnation, and the knowledge that death had ended my wife’s suffering, because she suffered much in the last year of her life from cancer. My four children took about two years to get over their mothers death.
Cry, Replay things, until I make peace with what is.
I distance myself from people to enable myself to deal with, process whatever is the cause of my sadness is.
I allow myself to have a pity party, alone, and then I seek a good friend to do something with.

He comes across as a child would though, authentically himself. I like that. Previous answer. Now – Playing in the pool makes me feel like a happy child. Like when I used to swing as a child. It`s a good feeling.
I watched a video on Facebook about a guy battling with the age of technology. All he wanted to do was change the time on the clock in his car and after paging through the manual repeatedly and trying repeatedly, he just chucked a frothy and said that he can change sparkplugs, a car tire and a bunch of other things, but he has to be a NASA scientist to just change the time on the clock. He eventually just cursed and said he would use his phone to tell the time. I crawled with laughter and watched it a few times, and for me to watch a video clip more than once is very unusual. I laughed because I could see myself in this exact scenario.

11% indicated – Mostly.

QUESTION 80

PROVIDE REASONS FOR YOUR PREVIOUS ANSWER

The following answers were provided:

Lots of nature support.
Because of spiritual growth.
Self-acceptance.
No -my body is aging.
Mostly – still some self-doubt.
No – need to control temper and impatience.
I choose my path and love it / when I don’t, I change direction.
Mostly – working on some aspects.
Mostly – could be fitter and healthier.
Feel overwhelmed with life.
Not using my potential.
No – I have some bad habits and want to develop good ones.
Mostly – still learning to love myself.
I am comfortable where I am at as I am always growing.
Because the possibilities to improve are limitless.
I am doing the best I can at the moment and am looking at options to improve myself in the future. I am very hopeful and positive.
Having my baby made me question who I am, what I like, how I feel and see things, as well as how I experience life. Everything has turned on its head and I am still finding who I am no relative to who I thought I was and reconciling the two.
I have done a lot of inner work over the last few years. I can feel joy every day and I have great hope for the future of mankind, and I have a big role to play in it. (I am not being arrogant; I have just discovered my core values and talents and understand things in a very different way now).
I am comfortable with what I achieved in my life.
Overweight, lonely, sad and depressed.
I see myself as successful, intelligent, attractive and loved by many around me.
I’m learning to stop being so judgemental, acceptance and truly loving who I am and what I have achieved so far.
You need to love you the way you are as that is how you make changes to people’s lives.
It took me all of 47 years, but I got there eventually. I am now totally comfortable with who I am.
I live removed from society remotely in the koppies in a stone cottage. I avoid people the best I can. I make my own electricity, water and vegetables. I live in harmony with nature, and I speak to the animals. I have achieved a total re design of my past self and have accepted that I don’t play well with others. I embrace my human awkwardness.
I still feel out of place on earth and not fully understood by anyone. I feel lonely.
I still have issues related to lack of self-confidence and self-worth issues, but my self-concept is much improved since my siblings are no longer a part of my life – my choice. Previous answer. Now – I have no idea why I cannot look myself in the eyes in the mirror…
“I don’t “try to fit in” anymore. It’s too exhausting and it just doesn’t work, in any case.
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.”
Freedom of mind.
I’ve learned to accept who I am, so not even sure if it’s the self-concept I previously had, however I’m confident in who I am now and what I’m capable of.
I have done a lot at work & dealt with a lot.
but still a long way to go, when you planning to get divorced you look at everything in your life.
I like the woman, the personal, the friend, the teacher the confidant that I am. I love and trust myself and have worked on and released a lot.
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.
I feel that there are more of myself that I can improve on.
I have a happy family and good friends, who appear to enjoy my company. I have never done anything untoward in my business or personal dealings which could be the source of any embarrassment. I am respected in my business circle and within the hockey circle as someone who has contributed a great deal and for the way I work and play. Similarly with my old school mates whom I see very infrequently as they are scattered all over the world.
I know that I am not perfect, that I am human and weak. I have more empathy for myself and others. I’m not as ‘good’ as I’d like to be as often as I’d like to be, but it’s OK. I am where I am in life, I know who I am and other’s opinion of me does not really matter to me. I know that I can only depend on some people for some things and I’m OK with that. I know I can deal with my own emotions. I accept who I am and who others are.
Knowing where I started out on this journey, I am proud of who I am becoming.
I’m a work in progress.
I believe I have so much more to give and do to achieve my purpose.
I was at my peak again before I met someone and slowly, I turned back into the person I was before.
I feel that I am now living my life un-apological so, with even more self-awareness.
Given the circumstances I was exposed to, I have done well. My biggest regret is not having spent enough time with my family when I was young, and not enough time with my wife although both of us were very busy with our careers.
I would like to be able to be myself with greater ease with friends; few people know me, actually.
I am at a stage where I want to grow into the best version I can be.
I am more focused now on what I think than what other don’t think. I have many aspirations yet in self-actualisation.
Living a very relaxed and peaceful life.
I have come to accept myself.

QUESTION 81

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE A DREAM?

The following answers were provided:

An event from the subconscious mind, a process of every day events and symbols.
Things (experiences/wishes, etc) suppressed in my subconscious that come forward in the form of a dream.
Thoughts, images, emotions being revealed on a subconscious level.
It can be issues that one is dealing within one’s unconscious mind and it’s also the day’s happenings being organized and filed in the memory during sleep.
Information flowing from the subconscious mind.
It is the unconscious mind playing back situations and events or even at times what one would “like “to happen in your currently life. Sometimes i even think it is preparing one for future events.
Dreams serve a purpose, it’s not always your subconscious recalling jumbled bits and pieces of your experiences of that particular day, but communication from God/the universe regarding life lessons, warnings, etc. I’ve had premonitions in dreams on many occasions.
Something to strive towards.
Something wonderful or challenging that you have envisioned yourself doing and long for.
Subconscious reaction.
Another universe.
A reaction of experiences any moment in your life. Dreams can also be guiding messages from our helpers on the other side, or they can content a prediction about something happening in future.
A movie occurring in one’s sleep referring to subconscious and conscious thoughts and happenings – some experienced recently and some from past lives. Dreams often relate symbolically to something going on in one’s life.
When you see something between sleep and awake state.
Snippets of past or future lives.
Unreal fantasy.
Imagining something really wonderful happening where everything goes right and i have control over it.
Active imagination.
Something you wish for that will make you happy.
Access to spirit.
A wish, thought of something you’d like to see happen or something you would like to experience.
A goal which the achievement of would ensure great contentment. Something significant to achieve or master.
Something you think about that you would really like to happen in your life.
The subconscious mind playing out scenarios.
The brain’s way of communicating with you.
Alternative reality.
Something you really wish for.
A prevision of something that can be.
Interaction with more subtle levels of reality.
Something you feel is impossible to achieve now, but is possible to reach if you put all your effort into it. (I have never dreamt of the impossible – so then it is not dreaming, right??)
Something we wish for, imagine in our minds eye, day dream and hopefully try to make a reality.
Physical dreams? While dreaming, I get most of my ‘downloads’ and teachings. I can be quite exhausted the next day if I had a busy night, lol! But I absolutely love dreaming. Exploring other dimensions and realities.
Sensations, Images, story playing of in your sleep.
Something which is very hard to obtain.
Something in your subconscious coming out when you sleep.
My subconscious sifting through information and sometimes even a message.
Message foe making change or helping someone current or in the future.
A dream for your life outcome would be one’s desire for a particular life outcome and a dream in the night whilst asleep would be a subconscious manifestation of an interpretation of current or future physical life or even beyond that.
It could be something you aspire to achieve or acquire, or it could be a subconscious life like experience we have while sleeping.
A bunch of random experiences and emotions stored in the brain that come out lumped together with no cohesion.
A dream brings the wisdom of your subconscious forward. I believe that it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the symbolism, the information is integrated into our conscious minds to help us. Now – a dream can also be something you wish to accomplish.
“Oh gosh who knows. I’m still figuring this out… so therefore I explain….
Some says it’s your subconscious mind working through issues. – This is agreed with sometimes.
Some say it’s your multi-dimensional self-travelling. – It makes sense, but how would I know this?
Some say it is messages from the Divine. Sometimes it seems very true.
I have extremely vivid dreams, sometimes so vivid that I don’t know if they were dreams or weather it actually really happened.
So, I just get on with life, take note of them and move on. Keep an eye on it and an open mind.
Also, as a child I had dreams that actually really happened – so reality happened the way the dream happened, so I’m still wondering about this.”
A dream is a vision that we would like to see manifest in this illusion of form.
An ideal life that someone would like for themselves, in an ideal world. An intention for happiness.
Something that you believe will be the ultimate achievement.
Something that eventually becomes reality.
it is something that brings you joy and happiness. Something that you aspire towards, like your own guiding light giving you direction and purpose in your life.
I suck at dreams. Hopes and dreams. Something you wish for … Pure wonderful fantasy of some future life.
I would say dreams can be many things, some dreams are your subconscious working through everyday stuff that happens to us, what we feel, see or hear – kind of like helping us to internalise or compartmentalise what is happing. Some dreams can be messages from your ‘higher self’ to give us answers to situations or warnings about things that could happen to us should we stay the current course of our lives. Other dreams could be like premonitions of things to come, not only in our own lives but also collectively.
It is a seemingly very realistic journey in your mind whilst asleep into often known familiar & unknown places with people I know and also strangers. Mostly the linkages /reasons as to why they and I are there is a complete mystery. As we know the most vivid dreams take place just before we awake.
The lifting of the veil between our conscious and unconscious minds. Sometimes things break through to alert us to how we are feeling at the moment without realising it. Sometimes I feel our own minds are torturing us.
Processing life but at times the universe whispering in our ear.
A parallel reality.
A visual experience during sleep which is caused by the mind trying to resolve or make sense of issues.
Messages from your divine self.
Heart desire that one aims for.
I do not have a definition for it. Many of my dreams have some strange aspects to them, things that repeat over subsequent dreams.
Don’t know.
Subconscious coming up for air. Roadmap and direction givers. An experience of the fantastical and magical.
Thoughts and images while sleeping. I usually dream about people or situations that causes stress and affects my mental wellbeing.
Subconscious reality.
Doing what you like best.
A life experience with a message that you thankfully don’t have to literally go through in order to learn the lesson.

QUESTION 82

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE EVIL?

The following answers were provided:

There is no real evil, it lies in the mind.
I don’t believe in evil or the devil.
The malicious intention to cause harm to a person or persons be it in action or spoken word.
Darkness, shadows lurking cold lifeless eyes staring.
I choose not to think of evil as a concept.
It is the opposite of good. A deep urge to do harm (destruct)to people, animals or things.
A state of mind. Either you consciously choose to be evil, or your circumstances shaped you into believing that whatever your actions are, they’re acceptable and justified (even if you hurt or kill).
The opposite of good. That which harms someone/something being aware of the suffering they are causing.
Acts or thoughts that develop from a destructive attitude which does not respect life or the choices, property or rights of others.
Action of the worst kind.
Bad intentions.
It is a negative aspect; it is sinning against other people against our self and our divine.
Heinous, bad, dark, scary.
Intentionally hurting someone you love.
Conniving, planning, doing harm to a fellow being.
Doing wrong in a hurtful way.
Cruelty to any living thing physically or mentally. A person with no conscience or compassion.
Someone bent on destruction or suppression.
Something that is bad and destroys happiness.
Going against your natural being.
Corrupt politicians, calculating, conscious choice to do wrong.
The absence of empathy coupled with extreme selfishness.
I do not believe there is evil.
An almost demonic degree of immorality and lack of conscience.
The absence of moral goodness.
Intentional badness.
The opposite of good.
Anything that causes pain.
Activities designed to undermine Divine Intent.
Something that causes someone deliberate harm.
I don’t know. I don’t really think in those terms.
On the 3D plane there is duality. There is no innate ‘evil’. I believe that you can do ‘evil’ things if you are not in tune with your higher self. Things that I view as ‘evil’ on the 3D plane are things that hurt other humans or animals. From a paedophile to governments. I can write a book on that, but I choose to focus on more positive aspects!
Intent of doing bad or hurting.
Cruelty, not caring for anyone or anything, hurting other on purpose.
Low vibration energy.
The conscious and deliberate intent and actions of causing pain and suffering to humans and animals and the world at large.
Untrustworthy.
I don’t believe there is such a thing. It is just low vibrational energy.
A theoretical concept of a state of being or energy where love is absolutely absent.
I don’t believe anyone is inherently evil.
I used to think that the men and boys who abused me were evil. I did a lot of energy healing work (karmic transmutation) during meditation circle. During the process I realised that we all choose to experience whether we are the victim, the manipulator or bully to further our soul growth. However, there is a part of me that believes it is possible for evil to exist in the form of spirit possession and yes, this evil would be dark, oppressive and overwhelming.
Any extreme darkness that can do harm.
The ego and its unconscious behaviours.
Dark sinister thoughts or actions. Being nasty and having no regard for the consequences.
Anger.
Consciously choosing to be harm to others, in thought word or deed.
it is void of light, love and compassion it exist to consume everything in its path, it is harmful, cruel. It exists because everything should have balance without it there is no light, no love, no compassion.
Something dark cruel inhumane.
I don’t believe in ‘evil’ per say, we live in a world of duality, and it was created like this by us, our collective souls, so that we could experience, learn and evolve as souls, learning from what we today know as either good or bad experiences. Evil was a concept created by religion/churches to control the masses, to instil fear. No soul will be ‘lost’ because of ‘evil’ deeds or go to ‘hell’. Every soul comes here to have a certain experience, to help other souls evolve as well as your own soul. Are there things in our world that we perceive as evil? Most certainly. Child/animal abuse, murder and rape…. The list goes on. Without ‘evil’ how will we recognise good, or without hate how will we ever know what love feels like. We should ask ourselves why this is happening and what we can do to change things, what are we learning from this. How will your soul ever evolve to a higher consciousness if it does not know pain? Bad things are not necessarily happening to us, but for us, even if we can’t see it when it does.
The deliberate malicious intention to destroy or harm a person, animal or environment without any consideration for the outcomes or feelings of those harmed.
Acting with only your own interests in mind, without thought or consideration for others. Believing you are special and right and deserve to do what you want, while others do not. Me, me, me.
Low vibration.
Immoral, ugly, thoughtless, cruel…
A desire or manifestation of a desire to do harm.
The absence of good.
To have physical presence, for manifestation of physical kingdom.
I will go by the definition of the bad/harmful which I learnt from spiritual teachers. Something is bad if it harms others. Evil is that which causes great harm all great suffering or great loss. The wars in Gaza and Ukraine have shown us that the human capacity for evil is as great as it was thousands of years ago.
Cruel.
Hurting the other with intention.
A person or situation that is a threat to my physical or mental wellbeing.
Negative perception of a circumstance.
Lack of love and knowledge.

QUESTION 83

WHY WOULD THE CREATOR CREATE HUMANS?

The following answers were provided:

Don’t know. Perhaps to become like Him.
To experience himself (his creation) through them.
For humans to experience and live what they know on a subconscious level – consciously.
To be able to share the overwhelming love he has inside him (similar to what we have, the urge to have children of our own to share everything with, love and life).
As vehicles for the soul and to have earthly experiences.
To serve and protect creation.
To challenge him/her/itself. Create something and give it free will and see what happens.
To learn.
To experience this plane of life/energy and the exquisite earth and all its plants and creatures through us and to see how much more creativity possible – experience the myriads of possible choices arising out of being human – everything from the worst to the best.
Intelligent slave to carry out his tasks.
No idea.
God the creator (Elohim) has created humans in an equal like himself as a manifestation of his self. So, we have free will and we are able to create.
To help each other learn our life lessons. To be there for each other and help each other grow.
We created ourselves. We are not really here. You are in a dream state, and you are actually in God and not here where you think you are.
Don’t know. I never ask such questions.
Don’t know.
For the hell of it.
To see if we could live in harmony.
For self-realisation.
To have a relationship with them, to watch over them and see their growth & life, to enjoy communication with them.
To give expression to him/herself in the human form – experience the human condition with all its senses in this dimension.
Because he has the power to.
To have a living being that is able to derive joy and pleasure from the natural world which he had created.
Don’t know.
To manifest himself.
Unconditional love is “heaven “so you need to share it – can’t exist if there’s no one else.
To experience life.
Since the Supreme Consciousness oversees the physical manifestation, it requires humanity to expand its knowledge and wisdom in every possible way in order to the benefit the Supreme Consciousness by learning their lessons and gathering knowledge, wisdom and insights during this process.
To honour His name and to glorify Him.
I have no idea. I think if we knew the answer to that we would understand what our purpose is.
I honestly think it’s a huge experiment. We are very unique in this Universe. Our goal is to have the ‘human experience’, to experience (and deal with) all emotions. Humans are pure Manifestations – just a pity 99.9% of the population have been dumbed down.
To use as a school for soul lessons.
I don’t know.
To express himself and experience himself in different individuations.
After reading an article on the “Wing Makers” I’m not sure that there was actually God who created us – or this god who made humans for slaves.
For interactions.
To experience its own creation.
It’s the other way round.
No idea.
I do believe that humans are one of few beings that experience such dense heavy thoughts and emotions. Those incarnating would want to experience soul growth. Earth is a school of sorts with many challenging lessons.
Because a soul does not taste ice-cream or feel cold. The soul comes here to earth to experience and create and learn. Ultimately to return to love.
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.
Don’t know.
He separated himself from himself so that he can appreciate all of his creation.
In their divine image so that they can experience life and lessons in physical form.
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.
The Creator is love and in order to Be love, humans were created to reflect love back to the Creator. The Creator experience life through us. We are an extension of the creator, therefor creators ourselves. Or maybe the Creator just had an idea ‘he’ wanted to test out….
I don’t know. Religion teaches us that we are created in his likeness. I guess the key word is “create”. I was present at the birth of my three children and that is truly a miracle that a little being can come into the world! We all know the biology of conception, gestation and birth but the mystery of why we are here is perhaps a bridge too far. To be good people and advance our civilisations and leave the planet in a better place than when we inherited them is a very noble cause: but why we were created – I am not sure!
Depends on how I feel. When I feel cynical, I feel that it was out of boredom, for His/Her own amusement. Or maybe out of loneliness, or as proof that He/She exists – the more people who believe in me, the more proof I have that I exist. Spiritually, I guess I do still believe that we are all part of the whole and that we are born into different lives to experience certain experiences/emotions to ‘grow’ as souls until we no longer need to evolve. At heart, I have never been able to see the point of life. Why does everyone get so excited about a new baby being born when eventually that baby will die too – the cycle of life. Why do we have to go through the hassle of life if we are ultimately supposed to go to heaven or be part of one universe anyway? I’m a destination, not a journey kind of person.
So, spirit can help expand the universe through perceived physical limitations.
For entertainment.
To complete the cycle of life, a necessary component of the universe.
We were created above all, the next great species after the angels.
To have physical presence, for manifestation of physical kingdom
That is something that I do not know the answer for, and I do not accept the answer we were taught at church, that God created humans to praise “him”. After my sessions with the animal communicator, I have as explained earlier above, got to understand that animals such as dogs have souls that can be compared to what we experience with children.
Don’t know.
To learn about being and evolving, and taking responsibility for creating joy and heaven.
To fill the earth, procreate and evolve.
That depends on one’s definition of Creator and creation. To dig for gold.
Good question – maybe to ruin Earth?
To experience life through the senses.

QUESTION 84

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW YOU HAVE DIED?

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

The following answers were received:

I believe i will feel indescribable/ unlimited peace.
Seeing my body. Otherwise, I don’t have a clue.
I will not be in my body anymore, just be in spirit form.
I would move into another parallel.
I won’t necessarily. It could very well be that I’m dead right now, “living” a life which is not real.
It would be “easier “and more beautiful than it is on earth.
Not sure – maybe the frustration of not being able to communicate with who you just left behind.
Won’t.
No idea how to explain it – but I’d know.
Your “core, essential self” is going through a dark tunnel. At the end there is light and a beautiful surrounding with beautiful flowers in bright colours.
I would be at peace. I would be with my husband.
Not being in the present.

I might not know, but if there is a hereafter then i imagine i would be aware of it.
Consciousness reverts back to the spirit.
Have no feeling.
I would no longer have this physical body.

Seeing your physical body and meeting deceased friend and family.
Human problems no longer exist you’re surrounded by love, learning & resting before coming back again to learn something else.
When i am not on this earthly plane.
I will be able to view my corpse from the astral plane.
When I find myself in heaven.
I believe in life after death, so I guess it would be like going to sleep and then waking up as energy with a great awareness and perspective and understanding and in a completely different place to earth.
I would float, lol! There would be no fear, only love.
Your soul will know.
I suppose I would realise I am a spirit being without a physical body.
It’s a measurement for humans to keep track of every day for every task.
You would be outside your own body.
I cannot remember the last time, so I’m not sure I will remember the next either LOL. I also know that I will know when I have died /passed on in this life.
You will feel incredibly high as, in an instant, you will have access to all knowledge, and you will see that there has been no mistakes. Everything around you will view you in awe and vice versa.
I’d see my physical body below me and leave it behind.
I would be at peace and happy. Previous answer. Now – Being hugged and welcomed by my parents, and my dogs that have died. I would be home.
I don’t know…. I suppose I would be out of the dense energy field of earth and feel light as a feather and maybe know all the things I now wonder about. And feel love…. I’ll let you know when I’m there!
The illusion of form will have disappeared, and you would be back with soul group.
I will be able to do everything, but nobody can see me unless they chose to, I will be in the spirit world.
You will sense that you are no longer linked to your physical form.
Well hopefully I won’t be sitting around, having to go to work. Feed the dog. Do the mundane tasks our physical life needs.
I once had an experience during an Ayahuasca ceremony where I just drifted away and all I could feel was an immense peace and love around me, no fear, no pain. I would imagine that is what you will feel when you die. You will just know.
Perhaps when you can see and feel your family, but they cannot see you and when you can see and be with one’s ancestors and deceased friends. For those who are seriously ill and in deep pain and suffering the knowledge that it is all over! The release from it all!
When I feel untethered from my body, people, the earth, floating free, feeling light.
A life well lived result bliss.
I’ve died once before, the peace and love I felt was not off this world.
When my soul left my body.
A tunnel of white light calling my name, but I would turn away for the universe to avoid the reincarnation process again.
I don’t know… I would prefer not to know that I have died.
I expect to be pulled to a tunnel with a bright light at the far end.
Being at peace.
I am not sure, but I think I will have insight and understanding, and be with those who have died before me.
I wouldn’t know, my heart will stop beating.
Physical limitations would no longer exists.
It would be beautiful & I would feel welcome, understood & loved. I will see my deceased loved ones & pets I will know why things happened the way they did.

I don’t know if it really exists it rather feels as if everything in the universe moves in cycles – not along a straight line from the past to the future.
A continuous link between past, present and future.
It’s an accumulation of moments of existence utilized differently by each individual.
A concept that humans put to life to try and control the inevitable.
Time is a device used by human beings to order events.
Something which is only present when I consciously think about it. When I look at someone i haven’t seen for a while and they appear different, I focus on time and then it becomes “real” to me that time exists-
A measure of …
Something that mostly just runs along in a straight line and runs out until you are truly focused on something and in the moment – and then it stretches into a big bubble arising out of the straight line – and it stands still or expands indefinitely – the higher the energy level and the more in the moment we are the more time expands or doesn’t exist.
Point in or period it takes.
Too complicated to put into words.
A phenomenon based on day (light) and night (darkness). It is a measurable period of chronology experienced within the consciousness of space.
Now, this second – it is all we have.

Progressive sequence of events.
Relative.
Time is a construct for particular “matrix”.
Time is an illusion. It is the unmanifested component of the physical manifestation that ensures that physically manifested objects are separated in a three dimensional a spatial context.

The movement of energy and form.
3D constructed concept. Timelines, however, another topic completely.
Time is a man-made thing, it doesn’t exist.
Precious and too little
Don’t know.
Money is just another energy that helps us live a certain lifestyle and to help others – especially when they are in dire need.
A moment in the universe.
It’s a linear concept in our current physical incarnation which helps define a perspective of things in terms of past present and future. I am not sure how it will apply outside of this current incarnation.
It measures our planets orbit cycles around the sun. It is also the measure in which humans (and only humans) gather ‘knowledge’ through experience.
The rotation of the planet. Sunrise and sunset.
“I wrote this poem on 26 September 1986. Times Two Times movement continues. Uncaring, unemotional and stringent. Systematic, regimented, military in its performance, regardless of the race they call human. Humans march in time, as the cycle moves, ominously closer to its completion. Times two or one, reincarnation or religion? Times two, what’s the world coming to? Is society casting values and morals aside for another chance at time? Times two. Is this what has become of morals in the race against time? Times two. We look but do not see, hear but do not listen, follow but do not think or comprehend the consequences, In our race against time. What is it to be? It is our choice! That was what I thought of time at 17 now I think perhaps time is merely a construct that helps us keep track of events, cycles such as sunrise and sunset, the seasons. Time now – my healing journey used to feel like I was in some race but now I realise that time is not a factor. What is supposed to happen will happen. What isn`t completed in this life time will be finished in the next. Although I believe there is much, I would prefer not to have to redo in another incarnation so would prefer finishing now. We have eternity…time isn`t really a factor.
Something that flies when you enjoy what you are doing, something that freezes when you are in absolute fear, something that no one can explain, yet we all experience it every day. All I do know for sure, is that I ONLY HAVE THIS moment NOW.
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.
Don’t know.
On a clock.
A way to keep our lives in order.
To me time is not linear, but relative to what it is you are experiencing in that very moment.
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.
The time construct was created when this dualistic existence was created. It was created so that we do not remember our divine nature, being able to have multiple experiences as multiple beings, working our way back to being part of Cosmic Consciousness. Time is an illusion, because everything is happening simultaneously. But I think if time wasn’t an illusion in this reality, it would have fried our 3D brains anyway…
I don’t know. I have read Stephen Hawking’s book on time and was truthfully none the wiser after reading it. I have watched Professor Brian Cox’s TV documentary programmes on time and marvel at how he describes time, but I still don’t really understand.
I don’t really think about it. It just is. A manmade system with which to organise the world, fitting in with the natural rhythm of the earth – sunrise, sunset, night and day.
Limiting.
It is not definable. It is a measure of duration.
An illusion, a system created to trap us. Time power only on our dimension. Everything is happening in no time all around us on every dimension.
Earthly schedule.
From the spiritual teachings I’ve received, time is there for us to learn, and we learn to improve ourselves. I have made psychics who can see into the future and also seen to the past. That makes the concept of time a very complex one.
Being a clock ticking 24 hour a day.
Feels like an illusion, and I think one can slow it down, but it’s what we made, and it drives us, much like free market forces.
Continued progress of existence. Our past, present and future and will continue after death.
I cannot define time. Simplistically, it is an indication of how many cycles (from a certain perspective) the earth has completed in its orbit.
Not sure. It is beneficial to make appointments.

QUESTION 86

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

The following answers were received:

Selfish or unselfish for good causes.
To survive, to buy yourself things you like, to help others less privileged human beings. Some use it to bribe, to pay their way out of bad situations they got themselves into etc.
Contributing to less privileged individual’s physical and emotional wellbeing in a personal and social environment.
Charity, as reward, wisely – investing or business, misuse.
An exchange for goods, services rendered.
As a form of exchange of things and services. It can be used to demand power. It is a status symbol.
It’s powerful as long as people attach value to it and can be applied for both good and bad, depending on what your intentions are.
To buy things that you need, to buy things you want, to pay for things so you can stay alive.
To survive, to feed/clothe/house/educate one’s dependents, to incur for protection/prevention of health/ill-health, to invest, to buy things you need, to spend on things that feed the soul and body, to save, to splurge occasionally for entertainment, reward or relaxation.
Good or evil.
For freedom /fun / fulfil wishes and dreams / help others.
For housing and life maintenance, clothing, medical care, saving and investment, for huge expenditures and our “old day”, traveling, education, culture development, recreation and spiritual development.
To take care of us, food shelter, clothes, education, medical. To give to those in need, entertainment, holidays.
To sustain you.
To make life easier.
Security.
For good as in providing a living and a decent life for everyone or for evil e.g. drugs etc.
An exchange for productivity.
Spend, donate, lend.
Sustenance, gaining knowledge and experience.
For good, for investing, for advancing education & employment, as a trade for service or product, evil ways like greed etc.
To buy freedom from financial obligations, to buy freedom and time, to buy time to identify and seize opportunities to really help under-privileged people.
For good, living, having an awesome life, helping other, making the world a better place.
Buying and selling, a form of liquid asset (a way to accumulate wealth), a way to settle debt.
For good or evil.
Travel.
Buy things for yourself and others.
To create experiences and live if used for good, if used for “bad” to control and enslave.
The only purpose of money is the control, subversion and slavery of mankind.
Helping charities/Church giving/helping the poor, paying bills, can lead to self-destruction – drugs, etc, can make some people happy- buying what they want (spoiling themselves).
It basically comes to selling your time or your expertise.
It should always be used in service to others. I have many projects lined up. As explained under the ‘charity’ question, it should be used to solve Root Cause issues, in betterment of the Earth and all her inhabitants. I would even go as far as mentioning inter-galactic assistance.
For good, for luxury, for evil.
To do good to other, to create joyful moments, to travel and gain precious memories.
Don’t know.
Money is just another energy that helps us live a certain lifestyle and to help others – especially when they are in dire need.
Charity, Investing, taking care of yourself.
To provide freedom, to help others and execute new ideas.
Save it, (2) Blow it.
To make our physical existence comfortable and hopefully that of others too.
Money`s purpose is to pay for all the things we need to sustain ourselves as well as to pay for the things we choose or want to have.
For good – to uplift anything, a family, animals, a place, a scenario. For negative – to use as a power tool.
Money is a tool in this reality. With it a lot can be accomplished when wanting to bring your dream into manifestation.
For security – buying a home to feel safe in, enjoyment – food and entertainment, to travel.
Material things, gifts to create joy for others, safety in a home.
For world peace, food for all, hospitals and schools for all classes, no differentiation by class.
It is used as a medium of exchange between individuals and entities. It’s also a store of value and a unit of account that can measure the value of other goods.
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.
Money is a form of energy exchange. It can be used to do ‘good’, like helping others, taking care of yourself and of course it can be applied to do ‘bad’ as well. Money is neither good nor bad in itself, since it is just energy, but it is how it is used that make people say things like “money is the root of all evil” or “money is power” and make people believe they should not own any money if they want to reach enlightenment. It is our believe around money or our personal relationship with money that will determine how much you have of it. Lots of people always say things like “I wish I had a lot of money to ….” Never realising you can have anything you love, but do we love money?? No, we love what money can do for us…
It is a store of value. It is a medium of exchange. It is used to build wealth. It can be misused so that people’s values can be manipulated to do untoward things. The curse of bribery and corruption.
For me, money is a tool, something to be used. Until I had no money and no idea how to make money, I accepted it as something I would always have enough of to survive. I’ve realised that money has always been my ‘go-to’ tool to ‘fix’ things, especially for others. Since being totally broke I see money as freedom as well.
self- indulgence or upliftment.
Survival, recreation, travel, charity, altruism.
To help, to destroy, to gain, to control, to live.
To serve as means to achieve some of the heart desires (where money is needed); as a gift towards someone’s desire.
Money can be used for good or evil. Good can mean anything from keeping us alive, to benefitting all living entities on this planet.
To manipulate people.
Money is man-made, it’s not really real, but it is the currency of the earth, and as a human, this is what is being used, so you can’t escape it. Money can be used to create comfort for oneself and or others. It can be used to make things better.
To survive by providing us with sustenance, improve our mental and physical health, improve the lives of others.
Protect, provide & please.
A means of trade, security, status, becoming famous.

QUESTION 87

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE “GOD’S WILL”?

The following answers were received:

The laws of the universe.
God of whom each of our souls is a part will us to experience who we really are (a part of him) through our life experiences.
To give human beings the opportunity to live and experience con seriously.
With everything we need guidelines to have everything working effectively and run smoothly. God’s will is a guideline on how to live life pure. To keep the balance as far as possible.
His intent and purpose for us.
It is what we as humans think God would want, according to knowledge we gain from religion.
If I’ve been given free will, what would be the purpose of god’s will? Don’t the two contradict themselves? I recently started to omit saying: “if it’s your will …” when i pray. I pray for what i want – that is my will.
What he wants.
What one is inspired to do and somehow knows one should be doing – it seems to be related to one’s talents in various fields.
Be defined by your religion or beliefs.
Letting go.
It is god’s will to become the perfect light body.
A load of rubbish – no such thing.
Creative energy.
The equipment that man receives to deal with life.
Don’t know.
If something bad happens and it is beyond understanding it is comforting to feel it is what god wanted.
Which God?
A higher power that paves your path for you.
To live your life with the fullest acceptance of the lessons that you have to learn.
God’s will is for all men to live in peace honouring him respecting each other and nurturing this planet.
God’s will is how we as humans express it in our lives. God’s will is for us to make our own decisions and face the consequences (good or bad) of those decisions.
I don’t think it is god’s will i think he gave us free will.
A religious person’s way of justifying events that are perceived to be inexplicable or beyond human control. Also, a way of absolving a person of responsibility for something and blaming God instead.
We are given free will to decide and make choices. It is too easy to say it was god’s will when something goes wrong.
Own choices.
Karma, what goes around, comes around.
To be the best version of yourself and find the vibration of authenticity and love.
Conformance and development in accordance with Divine Law
For us to love our God with all our heart, mind and soul and to love our neighbour as ourselves.
I’m not sure.
I AM.
To learn to be the ultimate good, evolved soul.
I don’t know.
Is My will.
I don’t believe in God’s Will.
Your purpose in life.
To live and experience what he has created for the greater good of all.
The excuse humans use when thing don’t pan out according to their own plans.
To treat all humanity and other life with respect and dignity.
I believe God would want us to be successful learning the lessons we set out to experience during our lives. What we choose in heaven with God`s blessing will be done on earth. His will be done.
I really don’t know if it exists. We ultimately choose to come here and learn. I suppose God’s will is LOVE. Love in everything, even the things that we experience as “bad” turn out to teach us about love.
This is when your free will aligns with God’ will. That is when you are fulfilling your soul’s purpose.
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.
What is meant to be will be.
He can make things happen.
loving others, practicing gratitude, doing good.
It’s a term given to explain something – an event, a disease, that no one understands or can predict or explain.
I don’t believe in it. But for people who does, I would say that it means, they are not in control of their decisions, but God are, and also that they sometimes don’t need to take responsibility…. Because it was God’s will.
I don’t know. There are so many contradictions in life as to be confused as to what this means, inter alia; why do people get cancer and how this can be God’s will? I know of the concept of God’s permissive will but don’t fully understand how this fits in with the greater picture of our purpose here.
For me, it is things that happen that are not within our control. I believe that some things are predetermined, which I guess one could call God’s Will. In other cases, the phrase is used as a platitude when things that people cannot or do not understand happen, or when they do not want to accept responsibility for the consequences of their own actions.
Free will.
Personal will handing over responsibility.
Things will be, regardless of man’s desire or actions.
We are the will of God, we are in his image, and we are him. The Temple of God. God is the great architect and mathematician that put everything into play. But it’s our will.
My heart desires.
I believe that humans have “free will” to choose good or bad. The God’s Will seems a bit oversimplistic. At least one Catholic priest, when learning of some great evil deed, or deeds, questioned whether there is a God. I think this results from the simplistic view that God chooses all sorts of aspects of our lives, such as” it is God’s will that I cannot conceive”, or “God’s Will that I got pregnant at 16” or “while my future looks bleak right now, I know God will provide some solution”.
Not being fare.
Love, Peace and Faith.
I do not believe in God’s Will, why would he bring sorrow, hardship and evil into our lives if he is a loving God.
Knowing myself.
When things don’t go the way, you try to force them to go.

QUESTION 91

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

73% of participants indicated that they have benefited from the actions of angels.

The following answers were received:

I presume they help me.
Not sure.
Yes, physically protected in a moment of time.
Yes, a few near death experiences.
For most of my life I have been surrounded by angels, guardian angels and spirit guides. I can feel and see them and get clear messages from the. They protect me from harm and guide me through positive and negative life events.
I must have, i think we are protected daily, and the magic lies in the fact that we don’t even know it.
Yes, i have been protected in two instances where i was about to be attacked – after i thought about all the factors, there were just too many coincidences (things which were completely out of the ordinary) which contributed to my safety at the time.
No, I don’t believe they have an impact on man.
Yes, i think daily – amazing “coincidences “happen in my life.
Not sure.
Yes often.
Yes, survived a car accident, my mother escaped suffocation from fire, i was protected from a robbery, kept safe while driving at night, the way in which i met my late husband.
Not that I’m aware of although i have felt their presence. I wonder if esp. is not sometimes universal intervention through angels.
Help to guide the way as we are in oblivion.
No.
Don’t know.
St Anthony – the finder of lost property – gives me some hope that there is something “out there” as he has never failed me and i always thank him.
Don’t know.
Yes, my husband is an angel, without his support and understanding i would not have been able to face my disability by myself.
Yes – through angel healing I have had profound experiences.
I believe I have had angels watch over me in situations where i was unsafe. I came through those incidents without harm.
Yes, I’ve had near fatal accidents that was avoided by me behaving in an unexplained manner or performing a manoeuvre I’ve never thought of doing. When I’m down and feeling alone, small feathers pop up in unexpected places to remind me that I’m connected to my creator and I’m not alone.
Yes, I have met different angels during meditation, i have felt them blowing on my check, and i have felt their presence. I have asked them to help me in difficult situations, and they have helped me out.
I can’t recall anything specific, but i have a feeling that sometimes intuition may well be a message from a guardian angel. If that is the case, then they communicate frequently.
Several times, e.g., saved from certain death by a little bird which kept on harassing a black mamba so that we could get away.
Cannot remember.
Yes, help me drive, talk, be sleep, bring to my conscious mind what i need to know.
No, I have not experienced it.
Yes. Spiritual Development
No.
Yes, through the experience of serendipity.
Yes, I am guided in dream state, every night. I also believe I am heavily protected. I survived 2x attempted abortions (by my mother) and 7+ suicide attempts during my life time. They really want me here during this time and it is obviously part of my Soul Contract.
No.
Yes – I have had many moments in my life where I have been guided and protected.
I sometimes feel as if I have someone with my – I even speak to that being and ask for comfort or guidance.
Yes, on a number of occasions I have escaped from car accidents through just being suddenly sharper and more aware. Also being warned of not getting involved with certain people on a friendship level.
Yes, they helped with decision making.
Yes, they have provided me with guidance.
No.
My guardian angel`s name is Joy. She helped me stay sane by keeping my memories locked away until I was ready to remember.
I’m sure it’s then who stepped in in my first suicide attempt, because I did not die. And at the second one, I couldn’t get the safe open, even though I normally could.
Yes, indeed a great deal. Angel numbers is the core of the teaching on this course material.
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.
I have felt a sense of peace when I was overwhelmed.
Yes, I do feel them around, they leave signs like butterflies and feathers.
Yes, the protection of Archangel Michael, The Healing from Archangel Raphael, The insight from Archangel Uriel and emotional guidance from Archangel Gabriel
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.
Although I cannot see Angels, I know they are there. I have felt them with me when I went through difficult times and even during everyday life events.
Yes! We all have to a larger or lesser degree. Often completely unknown to us! In February 1974 I lived in a communal house and one Sunday morning I was walking to my car to go to mass and had an epileptic blackout. I had previously had a blackout a few months earlier. I woke up in hospital after my house mates took me there. If I had had the blackout 10 minutes later whilst driving my car I could have died in the ensuing accident. Was there an angel who hastened the onset of the blackout so that I was not driving I don’t know? Frankly I have never thought about it until now.
Not sure. I have definitely benefitted from God’s actions/intervention. I don’t know if angels were involved, or if they are needed or if God does it all directly or indirectly.
Yes, I should have drowned but I somehow survived being able to breathe under water.
I’m an intuitive way.
Probably, but cannot say for certain. My recovery from my broken neck could be considered miraculous, but there was no evidence of Angels.
Not sure.
Not sure how best to explain this; when meditating/praying; I acknowledge their presence in my day-to-day life; and strongly believe that even now – they contributed enormously to the person that I am today. There was a time when I found myself in the moment of solitude; and I felt like I “saw” angels surround me.
I don’t know. One teacher whose audio CD I listen to many times in my car, stated we have to ask angels for help. I’ve asked many times, and sometimes there was definitely no noticeable help. There were other times when something did turn out for the better when it could’ve gone worse, but I cannot say this was due to the intervention of angels.
Not yet.
I think so, often things could have gone another way, but then I am safe.
Not that I am aware of.
Yes, I benefit from many synchronicities in everyday life which I ascribe to the unseen assistance from the realm of quantum space.
Yes, as Earth Angels, people who tell me what I need to hear, when I need to hear it. I have also been used by Angels to tell people what they need to hear. This happens when I say things I don’t usually say & later, I can’t remember exactly what I said. I am then also blunter & to the point. Angles also give me messages with animal appearances, who’s symbolism I need & feathers, numbers and coins.

She had been ill for some time with a serious balance related syndrome and after battling it for some time just decided she had had enough and within 2-3 months she died. The sadness was that perhaps she could have overcome it, but she would not be persuaded to change her mind! It was my sense of helplessness in that situation! I saw her about 30 minutes after she died, and she had a sense of peace!
When my cat, Smokie, did not come back home and I had to leave that house three weeks later. I’ll never know what happened to him. Is he dead or alive? Did he suffer? Did he come back and wondered where I was? Why did he leave in the first place? I feel responsible for him feeling unwelcome. I used to tell him, that my life would be much simpler and it would be easier to find a place to move to if I did not have him. He was mine, just mine and always there for me. I believe I made him feel unwelcome and he left to make things easier for me. In the weeks before he disappeared, he came home later and later and roamed further and further.

QUESTION 97

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

The following answers were received:

Severe suffering.
Suffering unbearable pain (physically or mentally).
When the individual is experiencing extreme pain and wants his/her life to be ended.
When their quality of life has long been removed and the suffering is of at most unbearable and when this individual has made peace with the world and God and is in the right state of mind to know what is happening.
When the soul/life force has already left the body.
When that person robbed someone of his or her own life for no reason at all.
If they were suffering if they had no life expectancy and they were experiencing immense pain.
If they were threatening my life.
If my or my children’s lives were threatened by someone and there was no other way out or if me or they were being raped.
If I or a loved one were threatened.
I wouldn’t.
I am not considering this at all. We never know in what kind of situations we will be placed in life and whatever will happen.
I would never consider it.
Never.
When machines have taken over the human functions.
Threat to my own or others life.
If there were no hope of recovery from illness and they were suffering and wanted to end it.
I wouldn’t.
Don’t know.
When their suffering is so great that they ask for release.
When their suffering is unbearable and there is no hope of end.
When my life or the lives of my loved ones depend on it.
If the lives of my children were threatened.
In defence of mine or another’s life where negotiating is not feasible.
Only if my life was threatened – self-defence.
Life threat.
If in extreme pain with no cure.
If they threaten the people, I love.
Preferably never.
If I have to choose between that person or myself living – I would choose myself (but not if that other person is one of my children).
If they have been severe or excruciation pain or their circumstance are such that they are essentially the living dead. Like in the case of someone who is brain dead or unlikely to come out of a coma and if they have specifically requested it.
Only if it was their own choice and free will, but I would still get someone else to do it, lol! (Seen under circumstances of extreme suffering).
If they are terminally ill and suffering.
To protect the life of someone I care for in a dangerous and life-threatening position.
I don’t think I will – but perhaps when one of my loved ones are in danger, or to save myself.
If they threatened my life or my two boys.
When they are brain dead in hospital to end suffering.
If they threatened to hurt me or any of my family or friends or their family. Or any other human for that matter where that was the only solution and assuming all other peaceful methods had been tried and failed or were not appropriate in the situation.
If the choice involves my children
I couldn’t personally do that.
If someone was trying to kill me.
There is no ways I could.
I just can’t, no matter what. I won’t be able to end the life of another human.
Under no circumstances, I just can’t!
Only if I feel threatened that my life will be taken.
If I was being threatened or my kids.
No.
If they were on their death bed and there was no hope, I hope my family would do that for me, let me go.
Never – I do not have the right to end another individuals life nor my own.
If they harmed another out of evil cruel intentions. Especially if they have no remorse and would do it again.
To protect someone, I love. I will give my own life for those I love.
If someone was attacking my family and / or had attacked / molested my wife and daughters; daughter-in-law or grandchildren, I would have no compunction but to kill them. That said I have never had a gun and will never get one. It is trite to say that guns do not kill people. People with guns are likely to use them with supposedly good reasons but more often than not the outcomes are tragic to their own detriment and have sad unintended outcomes.
If they were suffering and there is no hope for the suffering to end (physically or mentally), if they were on life support without hope of recovery, if they had hurt or were hurting someone, especially a child, and had no intention of stopping.
Pointless existence.
If my or my children’s lives were in danger.
If they threatened me or my family.
If my life or someone I love life was in danger.
I will just think about it, when they do harm to my children, or kill someone.
Only in the case of self-defence, or in defending another. It was with great reluctance that I got a gun license, but I only did so in the knowledge that there may be a time when I’m called upon to defend her from an armed attacker.
If the suffer from a severe illness, murderous cruel people.
I have never felt that way, but probably if someone hurt my kids. Euthanasia of a loved one who is suffering and is busy dying.
Woman and child abusers and molesters, rapists and those who treat the elderly without respect and dignity.
When there is a clear and present danger to my own life at the hand or intent of this person, likewise for my loved ones. When someone I love asks me to end their physical existence in an act of euthanasia.
None.
Self-defence. Mercy death when they are ready to transition.

QUESTION 98

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

59% of participants have expressed objections to cloning.

The following answers were received:

Yes, it’s not natural.
No, I have no control over it and just let it be.
Yes, from a human perspective since plants and animals can be cloned, human beings are unique and part of a whole and i believe not meant to be recreated in the form of cloning.
Yes, it is playing God.
Yes, you cannot duplicate/clone a soul.
In humans, yes, because people are not just made out of DNA and you can never clone a soul. Animals, no certainly it can help the extinction of species.
No, it’s an interesting field of research and still very new. In fact, I wouldn’t mind having myself cloned.
Depends on what the cloning is for. If it’s to help people, no
No.
Yes, it would take away individuality.
Yes, we cannot take the place of God the creator.
Don’t know.
It is not important.
Yes, I can’t see the purpose of cloning the money spent on it can be used for something more worthwhile.
No
Don’t know enough about it – I suppose it’s okay to clone vegetables.
Cloning what?
Yes, people weren’t created to be cloned. There is only one special you.
It really depends on what it does to the soul – if another soul occupies the body, I am all for it.
Yes, I feel that God created each individual as one person for a reason. It is not for man to interfere. I do not believe you can clone a soul – so if you are cloning a body – what kind of “heart”& mind will it have?
Not really, as I believe a soul cannot be cloned. The body is just a tool used for the expression of life in this dimension.
Yes, I don’t know enough about it.
Not if it meant saving a species or preventing life threatening genetic abnormalities in humans.
No, if there are good reasons for it.
Yes, lose uniqueness.
You can clone a body/cells etc but not your soul which is your essential you anyway – so what’s the point?
Yes, as i feel this clone would not have a soul it would just be a little husk of emptiness.
It is contrary to Divine Law. We are an expression of Divine Consciousness.
Yes. God created the world perfectly – why would we want to be God ourselves?
Cloning entire humans – Yes. Cloning organs and body parts for transplant – No.
I am on the fence about that one…. still need more info. Big difference between human cloning and replicators to actually aid life.
No.
No opinion.
I haven’t thought about it.
If it would eliminate certain physical weaknesses and illness, then it is a good thing.
Life is life, no matter how it is created. The laws of cause and effect will then apply. I’m not sure what the consequence of that action will be yet.
Yes. How to clone the soul or consciousness? Clones will simply be AI inside artificial meat. If there exists a place for clones in future so, be it.
I’m fascinated by the science but i don’t believe clones have spirits.
Yes, I object. I believe science one day will go one step too far in interfering with man’s natural evolution with disastrous consequences.
For sure! Who is so stupid to want to put more living things on planet earth? The planet has too much on it as it is. Fix the mess going on here and then all will live well. No cloning needed.
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, 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.
Yes, as I think we are naturally reproductive why would you want to clone. We are not going on extinction.
Yes, we are unique and have purpose, why change that.
Yes, we are meant to live this life once and experience all we are meant to with the tools (mind, body and soul we were given).
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.
Yes. Does someone that was cloned have a soul? The soul or consciousness is not something we can replicate.
I don’t think it is a good idea. There is the philosophical / religious question that cloning is trying to emulate God and who are we to try that? Irrespective of the “good intentions” of scientists who can articulate many reasons to allow it I think it is a bridge too far. How would it be regulated and controlled?
Not sure. I haven’t really thought about it. I guess my main objection is the motivation behind it and that it perpetuates the illusion that people could/should live forever. Fear of death I understand. Self-importance, self-involvement and / or the belief that you are so important to the world that you should live forever because the world cannot exist without you, I have a problem with.
Not if it is done to enhance humanity both physically and spiritually.
Yes, what is unique should not be copied, or even attempted.
Yes. Only because it would be abused.
No, it depends how it is used.
I do – why fake it instead of being “you”.
Yes. Firstly, I don’t think we will be able to clone a human with the original and the clone identical not just in the physical body but in in mind as well, in other words both think in the same way, solve problems in the same way, makes the same mistakes etc. But if humanity can get close to making good clones, it opens the door for eugenics on a mass scale where by the list desirable humans are eliminated and the chosen few are allowed to continue.
Yes, each person is unique in its own way.
Cloning happens naturally in nature, but I don’t like artificial interference concerning cloning; however, it seems the world has moved on to it.
Yes, we aren’t the Higher Being, only he/she should have the ability to create.
No.
Yes, for people & animals. Each soul chooses the DNA and inherited beliefs for a reason. It would not be suited for a variety of souls and the growth they wish to undertake. I am also not a fan of IVF.

QUESTION 100

DEFINE MAGIC

The following answers were received:

The inviable
Something that makes you very happy.
Having supernatural powers.
Something the eye perceives as impossible.
Tapping into the energy that is already around us.
It is when a collection of events comes together in one instant.
Mystical energies that exist all around us and that individuals can harness and manipulate if they know how.
The use and understanding of natural laws.
Things that happen that can’t really be explained that one wished for them.
Sleight of hand.
I love it – but too complicated to define.
A miraculous happening or experience.
A supernatural means of creating happiness and wonder and joy. Can be dark as well.
It is all the time in what you experience.
Don’t know.
Unknown, mystical, sleight of hand.
When something unexplainable happens.
The unexpected.
The impossible made possible.
Anything done in harmony with universe.
The power to make things appear that were not there before.
The manipulation of energy that cannot be seen by the human eye.
It happens when you have an important realisation in your life.
The use of a ritual or ceremony to alter reality by means of perceived supernatural powers.
Seeing, experiencing or hearing of the most unusual occurrences.
Inexplicable influence over matter.
“Abracadabra” and it happens – whatever you want.
Magic is the small moments that bring laughter and happiness, every little beautiful thing that you see, the joyful moments and moments you create that comes to fulfilment.
The use of my divine nature to manipulate the subtle energies and planes for the benefit of mankind.
Being able to do the impossible.
The ability to manipulate energy, space and time to your will without harming others.
Manipulation of matter, quantum entanglement.
As Something unexplainable or unbelievable.
I can’t.
Don’t know.
Things that happen that there is no logical explanation. I believe it’s around us all the time, we just don’t see it as our left brain and survival brain seems to like dominance.
Magic does not exist; it does not come from God.
A spontaneous mythical moment.
Mechanics (other than the guy that pulls a rabbit out a hat) that exist in a realm that we cannot access as a result of what our brain allows us to experience for the sake of our sanity.
I don’t believe in magic.
To me magic is when something mysterious and unexplainable happens. Previous answer. Now – transmuting negative energy and manifestation.
Something that happens all the time, that we don’t understand and that we do not know how to replicate. A simple thing like a flame is magic. Being alive is magic. Having a heart that beats is magic…… I actually don’t know how to define Magic. Sunshine is magic, water is magic!
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.
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.
Wonder.
Something you can feel buy not necessary see.
Magic is within us all. Magic is strength, your passion, your anger, your soul. It comes from the very core of your inner most self and can be changed depending on how you are feeling and what you want it to do. It is a primitive desire to want something to happen or not happen.
Something that bends our concept of reality.
To me, magic can be something as simple as things working out for you in a way you never imagined and then it feels like magic. Or it can be actually practising magic like in energy work through spells or rituals and you see the results from that. Magic can also be seeing or feeling non 3D beings.
I don’t think there is magic per se. Magicians are masters of sleight of hand and or persuasive language (auto suggestion of sorts) and so can perform seemingly magical tricks. Some tricks are incredible and are “inexplicable” but are they magic? I do not think so.
I do not believe in magic, magic. For me magic is unexpected things that happen in life that create a feeling of wonder, e.g. meeting of the minds between two strangers, two people/souls ‘recognising’ each other and becoming friends, a beautiful sunset that you chance upon.
Something that can’t be explained yet.
Achieving the apparently impossible.
Supernatural forces or power.
Being able to make things happen, with no explanation whatsoever of the how part of it all.
Magic is a kind of trick that gives an illusion of something impossible being done, but it is something that can be taught or one can do with training or with special equipment. (It is very difficult different to a miracle, which implies something supernatural).
There is no magic.
Magic involves ritualistic practice for me; I prefer mystical. But I think they are not too far apart.
Mysterious or supernatural forces.
It is a set of practices with which one may access the realm of the unseen to achieve purposes in the seeing world. Real magic is (like God) indescribable.
The laws of the Universe in action.

Focusing our energy towards a specific target.
A wish/hope.
A discussion with God.
A declaration or proverb to God or your higher self.
Deliberate and conscious engagement at the spiritual level.

Yes, it comforts me to feel some one is listening even if they are not and I can speak from my heart.
No, but I do believe in the concentration of thought by the many. Quantum theory explains this.
Yes, I believe there is a higher power and someone that wants to listen.
Yes, focusing on gratitude to bring abundance
Yes, ask God to help me fulfil his goal for me. I pray in gratitude for all I have.
Yes, I find comfort in believing that I am able to communicate with and receive guidance from my Creator.
Yes, to ask for help and give gratitude.
Yes, when i feel guidance from a higher source to give thanks or just to share my feelings. I use prayer as part of my meditation practice and include the creator, ascended masters, angels and prayer calms me.
Yes, I ask my guardian angels and guides for protection healing or solution to problems. I hand my problems over to the universe.
Yes, to influence situation or events by self-will
Yes, I ask God/universe to fix something that is not working it works if you listen carefully.
No. I am the creator if my reality and my choices are my own.
Yes. It benefits me.
Yes, to thank God for all my blessings and to communicate back to Him after I read from his Word.
No. not really. I forget to do so.
I don’t call it prayer; I affirm and create my outcome.
Yes, to connect with the creator and souls, to ask help on my soul lessons path etc
Constantly – I’m constantly in conversation with God for various reasons.
Yes. I pray and meditate daily. It helps me to speak my mind and hearts desires to God (the universal energy source) and I also still my mind in meditation to hear and to be sensitive to the spiritual realm.
I meditate at least twice a day – its sending my intent out which is a vibration/frequency which will gather momentum and make something happen.
Yes.
Yes, all the time. My prayers are conversations with God the creator, my higher self and my guides. I do it to build the connection and relationship them all, which has been truly transformational and inspirational in my life.
No. What is the purpose of communicating with a god that you yourself have created and then worship? You are ‘praying’ to yourself.
I do. When i need guidance or when I’m thankful.
Yes, I often talk to God. Since the age of 10 God has been there for me. Now – I am struggling with this now for some reason…not sure why.
Yes, I do, but I rather talk to Spirit, the Divine. I seldom pray to “God” if ever. When I do accidently say “God” in prayer, it is due to childhood programming.
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.
It’s a consolidation at the end of the day for gratitude for the day, what was good, what needs work on, who needs help in their lives and closure of the day. It’s a drawing closer to the creator at the end of the day.
Sometimes. Only when I need something, which is wrong, should be daily prayer of gratitude.
God is my voice of conscience; I need to thrash out things with him often.
No, I choose to meditate. Meditation for me is being in gratitude and then listening to what messages God has for you, Prayer to is always asking God to do things.
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.
Yes, I do pray but it is not a daily ritual for me. I will pray whenever I do perform a ritual of sorts or in general like when I feel like giving thanks or ask for guidance on a situation.
As explained above I was brought up in a Catholic home and all my schooling was in Catholic schools and prayer was a natural part of our lives. We pray before each meal to give thanks for the food, for our kids and our sick friends. I sometimes pray at night for health and safety and often for patience before going into tough meetings.
Yes. Not on my knees before I go to bed. I have conversations while driving with God, or lying in bed, or short ‘thank yous’ whenever something good happens. I feel it helps to focus my mind and energy on the positive things in mine or others’ lives. And that it helps me send ‘healing’ energy in a specific direction. I also think it helps if more people pray in earnest. It creates more positive energy. I do not believe in formulised prayers like ‘Our Father’ and ‘Bless this food’ unless it is said with feeling.
Yes, give thanks every morning and evening to God for the opportunity.
Yes. It is a form of meditation to me.
I do, but mostly when things are hard.
I do, mostly as moment of gratitude, kind of verbally so. And at times, when I would call upon my spiritual guardians – just for assurance, not necessarily that they are not there.
I do not pray. Apart from a brief religious experience in Standard nine, I’ve not felt any spiritual benefit from praying.
I do, that’s what my parents taught me to do.
Yes, I do, it’s part of my daily practice. I do it because I believe in God and I wish to be connected to that part of the Universe.
I don’t, who are we praying to?
Yes, it focusses my attention and intention.
Yes, I put in requests to the Universe almost every day. Rockets of desire as Esther Hicks calls them.

QUESTION 104

ARE OUR LIVES PREDETERMINED? (EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER)

75% of participants believe that our lives are predetermined.

The following answers were provided:

I think so, intuition.
Yes, I believe my soul chose this life (incarnation) for me to experience who I really am (a part of God) through my life experiences.
Yes, our soul chooses to experience life – in different forms – and growth according to the choices we make which contribute to the involvement of our higher
Yes, why else are we here. Anything and everything has a purpose, a function.
Yes, before our souls come into our bodies our life events are already preprogrammed, and our life lessons are already decided upon.
Sometimes I think yes, but then sometimes I think I’m stuck in one place.
No, because if we have free it will be predetermined. This is why angels exist – if we have free will and can change the course of our lives with our decisions, they won’t necessarily know what’s going to happen to us. They’re around because of this.
Yes, our lives are determined by what we did in a previous life. Only how we react to this is free will.
Maybe up to a point but I don’t really think so – we do have many choices -possibly we make the choices we do because of past life experiences and the need to sort unsorted stuff out … not sure.
Yes, we are there to learn a lesson for the next life.
I don’t think they are, I think we make our own choices.
Yes, we select our earthly life, but we forget the details at birth.
Yes, we come back to earth as many times as are necessary to better ourselves, grow and teach others.
Choices determine where we will be tomorrow and the choices of yesterday determine where I am today.
Don’t know.
No.
Don’t know.
To some extent but the power of choice remains
Yes, I believe everything happens for a reason.
We have predetermined lessons, but our reactions to those lessons are from free will.
I thought they were but the more I learn the more I see that we are to make something of our life within a given (yet unknown) time period.
Certain aspects, main themes of our lives, but for the most part we have free choice.
I don’t believe so, we would not have free choice otherwise.
Not entirely. We may choose a fundamental type of existence before we incarnate, however we also have free will to make decisions and choices which affect the outcomes of events which shape us.
Yes, before we are born, we make a contract with members of our soul group to earth for a specific lesson or reasons.
Not entirely, only like a road map containing probabilities.
Yes, by my own soul’s desire to learn whatever lessons – through choices I take while in the flesh I learn them or not.
No, I am the creator of my own reality.
Partially. Your karmic destiny mostly expresses itself in the major trends in your life brought about by acting in accordance with or against your conscience in your previous incarnation and their outcomes are inexorable. Apart from this you have free will. Karma expresses itself from life to life. The elevation of your consciousness determines whether you can access the past and future, walk on water, create planets, astral & mental travel, heal, change the colour of the sky or create the universe etc.
Yes. God knew all our moves and actions before we were born.
Yes. I do believe that on reincarnation there is a specific reason for us being here, which requires a level of predetermination of situations to achieve.
Free will is the law of the Universe. I believe everyone has a Soul Contract, but you can still manipulate your path and outcomes.
yes, you chose your life before you were born. There are certain main things that will definitely happen no matter what choice you make.
I don’t know.
I believe we ourselves decide about our lives.
I don’t think so. I think we have power to change our direction.
Yes, we are supposed to achieve certain thing in life.
We all have a prebirth plan which has a multitude of potential paths to a final outcome. With your own and everyone else’s free will throw into the mix it becomes an extremely complex plan. There is however an overall general plan for one’s current life.
I don’t know but Astrology and Chirology surely has a strong argument.
I think so. I believe we have all been assigned for something. I don’t believe in coincidences.
I would say partly as we decide what lessons and experiences we want to experience. We may take a different fork in the path but still end up where we are meant to, even if it takes us a bit longer than expected.
No, we have free will and there are definite life lessons that WE CHOOSE to learn, however what we choose at any given time has an influence on the outcome of what happens in future. This is the greatest power the human species owns, the ability to change your mind. This is also why the predictions of “doom prophets” are not cast in stone, we can CHANGE them.
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.
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 think so, but do believe we can change it.
NO God decides when you go.
I believe we choose the main lessons we wish to or need to learn (like school where you choose your preferred subjects) however how we go able learning those lessons are not predetermined as we still have free will and choice.
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
I believe that our Soul came here with a specific mission/purpose or a specific learning experience, but once you are in a 3D avatar, you have free will, but somehow, I think we always end up doing anyway what the Soul wanted for us, even if the paths we take might lead us through detours.
I don’t think so. We have no choice as to what era; place we are born and into what family or environment. As we grow, we are a product of our families’ influence their values and the greater environment in which we live and interact. It is the combination of internal and external influences. We are given freedom of choice and association and decision-making capabilities. These are nurtured and moulded by the influences of one’s family and the society. We are given the choice to make certain decisions which are conditional of the many realities of the life we lead and find ourselves in, often through no fault of ourselves and in circumstances beyond our control. With all these I don’t believe that my life is predetermined and so I do not have a fatalistic frame of mind. To accept this attitude / belief in essence means that there is no point in making any progress in one’s life in anyway as it is all for nothing as my steps and outcomes are all predetermined!
To some extent. I do believe we choose a path before we are born to experience certain things. In life, our choices mostly determine our life path. But, because we have certain characteristics, and experiences, many choices are basically predetermined. We keep making the same mistakes until we learn and once, we make different choices, it can change our lives. But some people will never learn because of how they were born. They cannot see or admit their faults and mistakes – that is a kind of predetermination.
There is a baseline we work from, but we decide the end result through growth and understanding.
No. We make our own decisions.
No, we are the creators of our own reality.
They are somehow predetermining, but we ultimately play a critical role in the co-creating of it all.
I do not think so. I think we have free will, and that watch happens in the world is due to our collective actions.
No, there is no one that has got the ability to predetermine our lives.
I think there is a framework, but our choices and thoughts can send it in many directions, and it is our colouring in of the picture.
We have been conditioned to believe our lives are predetermined, aren’t we the makers of our own destiny.
Yes and no. yes there are certain universal laws the entire creation is subject to. We have choice to do it in harmony with these laws and reap the benefit, or to violate and reap the destruction. We can life by design of experience by default. It is the mind that makes good or bad of any given experience.
Yes, the big things are and there is no way around them. If you run from something you will experience it in a different place / form. Everything happens for a reason. The trick is to figure out what you determine for yourself & what you allow others to determine for you.

Mother Earth
Life – living organisms are by logical masterpieces, everyone. Graven images may be pleasing on the eye, which are yet dead.

QUESTION 106

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE SIN?

The following answers were received:

Wrong doing.
Don’t believe there is such a thing a sin.
Violating an individual’s principles.
A deed/action that is selfish and only benefits the action taker and hurts the ones close to him/her.
Something that we do that is not in alignment with our souls purpose.
The wrongdoing as determined by your group/religion/tribe. It is when you choose to do the opposite as to something that was laid out by a group/religion/tribe.
Something created by man to control and manipulate. I believe that everyone/everything is entitled to do what he/she/it pleases as long as it doesn’t hurt or negatively affect anyone/anything else.
Something that goes against your conscience.
Going against what you deeply know to be best for you and others – your conscience tells you usually – but i don’t see things really as sin – just choices with consequences – there are better ones and worse ones.
Going against the norms of society.
Harming others.
Violating the divine laws.
Going against the good of the universe. Anything harmful to anyone or anything. Evil.
It does not exist.
Don’t know.
Doing wrong in a hurtful way.
Making someone else’s life, human or animal, a misery. Acting in a way that goes against the welfare of the human race.
Doing something against man-made rules.
Doing something you are not supposed to do.
Going against your natural being.
A conscious decision to go against what you know to be true, honest, good.
Saying or doing something that you know is wrong and still continue with it.
A perception that humans have due to preconceived ideas or programming. The belief being that you sin if you do not do certain things in a way that is not acceptable to others.
Breaking a moral rule perceived to have been made by God – a biblical connotation as opposed to breaking laws set by man.
Cultures make certain rules to order their societies and “sin” would be a wilful act of defiance.
Doing something not beneficial to society or environment.
Not being true to your higher self.
Inflicting pain or harming someone intentionally.
A contravention of your conscience.
Doing what is wrong in the eyes of the Lord.
Doing something to harm another intentionally and consciously.
Doing something that goes against your belief system.
Doing something that can hurt your or another soul.
That which made – still makes everything a mess.
To miss the mark/purpose.
I don’t believe in sin. However, every action will have a reaction and a consequence which will have an effect on our lives.
No following the commandments in Bible, especially in the New Testament.
There is no such thing. There is only free will and choice. Free will then come with consequences by way of the natural laws of the universe. Whatever choices you make you then have to accept the consequences that come with it. Ie if you chose to lie then you need to accept being branded and known as a liar. And then accept that people will mistrust you and that will then affect all your future interactions with people and then ultimately how you feel about yourself.
The only ‘sin’ is the act of harming others and/or anything that forms part of creation encompassed by the universal consciousness. Everything else is just a list of taboo actions designed by authorities that feel threatened by unconditioned behaviour.
Acting against what you consciously know is morally wrong.
Sin to me is something one does that is so bad that you are unable to forgive yourself.
To me there is no such thing. It’s a deed of Light (good) or a deed of Dark (evil).
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.
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.
A bad deed.
Something that makes your conscience feel regret.
Sin is a transgression against a divine law or a moral law, or an action that is considered to be immoral or harmful.
A made-up concept created to keep man in place and in fear of God.
I feel when I’m doing something that is not in alignment with who I am on a soul level, it is wrong, and I feel it immediately inside myself with that little voice that says, “it’s not right what you are doing now”.
It has a number of components, I think. In religious terms it is going against the 10 Commandments. In everyday terms it is going against one’s values and mores, the society’s laws and regulations.
Knowingly doing something that could hurt others for your own benefit or pleasure.
An action that knowingly hurts another.
Immoral.
Doing things that you believe in your heart to be wrong.
Doing something or acting against your values.
“Doing bad things”; more like the dark side or doing.
That which harms others and or harms oneself.
Betrayal.
Being evil – hurting others.
We have been conditioned to life our lives as per guidance from the Bible and the 10 commandments. In my mind, those who murder, molest, rape and take another person’s life.
Stealing from myself and others – if I kill, I steal life, if I lie, I steal truth, if I have idols, I steal equality, if I allow abuse, I steal love, if I act covet, I steal fidelity, etc.
Something that is not approved of by the Church.

Have a 5-minute tantrum and get over it. Sometimes when it’s an extreme anger, I just sit down and cry. (But this doesn’t happen often) And in the most extreme cases, this has just happened once, I blow up and destroy everything around me. Like the proverbial bull in a China shop.

Blow up and make up.
Discuss the issue.

Trying to avoid conflict.
I like to work issues out and discuss them frankly and openly.
Absorb for a while then speak from your truth once the dust settles.
Try to communicate.
Used to handle it badly. However, I am proud of the two most stressful relationships in my life. Even though they are stressful I have managed to stand my ground more than once and overcome conflict. I am unfortunately worse for wear as standing my ground is challenging for me. Now – its improving.
I try to talk to the person. I try to approach it non-aggressively and very neutrally and I always try to get a solution.
Communication is my best method, though when it becomes fiery, I choose to walk away no point we are hitting a brick wall.
I sulk until its brought up, or become silent and withdrawn, and level out the cold treatment, or just ignore the person completely.
I try avoiding it & diffuse it, so it doesn’t escalate to rage.
First calm down, then say something mostly via WhatsApp.
Through communicating as soon as possible and not allowing it to fester into something worse.
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.
I listen to the other person, try and put myself in that person’s shoes and try to be accommodating within reason of course. To me communication in a relationship is very important.
I have been very fortunate that I have not had any major conflict in my intimate relationships and particularly in my marriage. I have done things or said things that have annoyed Helen, but they have not been a conflict per se. In those situations, I apologise and be quiet. Most husbands know that their wife is the boss!
I’ve learnt to keep quiet, try to listen to the other person, remain calm, not be defensive and to express my own feelings and apologise only if I mean it. In the past I would have tried to avoid any discussion, because I don’t like being wrong. I would also have ‘apologised’ in a passive aggressive way so that it could just be over without acknowledging fault.
humour
Walk away.
Poorly. Talk it out where possible.
Try to avoid it.
I talk things out assertively so
With my wife there was very little conflict, maybe one serious argument in a year, not more than 2 in a year during the first 10 years of marriage. So, I did not need to learn how to manage conflict. With my second partner, tension arose due to issues with my children, and there was something out of my control. Needing to look after my semi paralysed sister on a long-term – essential to prevent her from dying – what’s the final straw in the relationship. In my next life if I have the choice, I will choose to be an only child and I will not get married or have a partner. In that way I will be able to avoid the situation where I have to let my partner down in order to save the life of a family.
I try to avoid conflict.
I am terrible at it. Avoid conflict.
I need/want to talk it through and reaching a comprise that will work for both parties. I unfortunately do not have that opportunity to do so.
I do not manage conflict. When I reach a stage of extreme anger, I just leave. Then the point of no return has been long surpassed.
By walking away
First calm down, then talk about it.
