Questions follow this short introduction from Shamani:
How has the world changed since you were born? Could you make a list
of positive and negative changes, as you perceive them? Change is often
accompanied by fear, fear of the unknown and fear of the future. What
can happen to you that has not already happened? You are most fortunate
to be living on the Earth at a time of massive change and growth. But,
you also have a great responsibility to make sure that the tools of mass
communication are not misused.
Change—for the better or for the worse? You must decide. Many of you are
delighted with the toys you have at your disposal. I speak of
televisions, video recorders, and computers. A toy for every man, woman,
and child on the planet—what a novel concept. Toys can be fun but they
can also display images of hatred, bias, and prejudice. Tools of mass
communication, people versus people. Will these tools bring an end to
the violence that permeates the world? I am not entirely sure that each
of you can stand guard against your own needs and desires.
Displays of ego sent across wires, affectionately termed “cyberspace.” I
must say that many of us who “float” above you are amused. It seems that
you need a machine to communicate with one another. Soon, you might
think that you can talk to God on the Internet.
So, as you enter the so-called “Third Millennium,” ponder this. What
changes will the Earth undergo in the next 10 years? The answers to this
question and many other intriguing questions can be found in this
chapter. Who are you (collectively, as a world) and what have you
become?—the age-old questions that many have asked before you. What
changes have you undergone in your lifetime? Every person and every
thing you encounter and interact with changes your life forever. So, in
a changing world, would you expect anything less? (Shamani)

Why have things accelerated so much—technology,
information-gathering, the general pace of our lives?
I am sure that to some of you the pace seems unforgiving. Think of what
controls the speed and acceleration of technology,
information-gathering, and the general pace of your lives. It is the
collective consciousness of all souls on the earth plane. As each soul
grows, it inherits knowledge and wisdom. One soul communicates a
feeling, thought, or idea to another soul. The two souls realize that
they share similar feelings, thoughts, and ideas. Their feelings,
thoughts, and ideas are communicated to other souls. Soon the collective
energy of all these feelings, thoughts, and ideas radiates throughout
the universe. The collective energy propels knowledge and wisdom forward
at lightning speed.
Think of this, as you learn something, you become more knowledgeable and
wise. Then you begin to learn things quicker and tend to focus only on
the expected result. I give you the example of your computer technology.
Your society has the knowledge and wisdom to create a computer which
“thinks” for you. You see that the computer is good but it can be better
so you devise ways to make it better. By better, I mean increasing the
computer’s processing speed. You do not truly understand why it needs to
be faster, you only desire it to be faster. So many of you want things
to go faster, but what do you really learn? You truly miss the aspect of
living.
You can truly have all the technology and information, but unless you
recognize and understand what you have and how to use it, it will be of
little value to you.
Technology and information-gathering are advanced forms of
communication. The knowledge and wisdom you attain through these forms
of communication will help you to develop more advanced forms of
communication. Simply said, as you increase your knowledge and wisdom
collectively, you increase your ability to assimilate more advanced
forms of technology and information-gathering into your lives. As you
evolve with the technology and information, your ability to utilize it
is accelerated.
The general pace of your lives is a function of how you incorporate the
advanced forms of technology and information-gathering into your life.
The key is to find balance in your life. Do not allow yourself to be
taken on a journey to the sun based solely on technology. Think of a
scale with two “dishes.” In one dish is technology and
information-gathering. In the other dish is knowledge and wisdom. If you
have too much in one dish, then your life becomes unbalanced.
Remember to keep both dishes of your life in balance. You may go as fast
or as slow as you want, but always remain balanced. For when you are
balanced, you can truly utilize all the technology and information you
have. (Asmuth) [top]
How have computers impacted our society?
For better or for worse, let each individual decide. The purple flower
appeals to some and not to others. What makes us individual is our
ability to see things in our own light. Your truth is not my truth. Your
life path is not my life path.
The impact of computers is far-reaching. Many in your society revere
them as gods, capable of doing anything.
Computers have allowed you free access to a multitude of images, voices,
and sounds. They can never replace the reality of vision, hearing,
taste, nor life itself.
Computers are tools which when used for the benefit of all, benefit all.
Computers have been used to build weapons of mass destruction. How many
people can you kill—how many lives can you destroy? We all make choices,
is this a wise choice? Why do you build such weapons? I say it is out of
fear.
Computers have taken people to a new level of awareness. You never
realized what was possible, now you only see a glimmer. The mind is much
like a computer, but far more complex.
Without the mind, the computer would never exist. Yet your existence
depends on it, for better or for worse.
When you “die” (pass over from the earth plane to the next plane), you
will not need a computer to do that. Nothing can ever replace the light
and your soul’s ascension. Never lose sight of your own mind’s capacity.
You are highly capable of anything you set your mind to.
Computers may make your life easier or more difficult. It depends how
you use them. Revere them as gods and they will rule your life.
I see the introduction of computers into your society as a test. It is
up to you whether or not you use them, and for what purpose. (Shamani)
[top]
What will the Internet give us?
Unlimited access to the greatest thoughts, ideas, and concepts borne in
your century. It will open your minds, allowing information to flow
freely.
Freedom of expression and ideas carried over a wire. One day you may
even converse across the universe.
It cannot replace the need for personal interaction. But I see that it
does replace personal interaction. Physical form is of no consequence,
there is only a connection of the minds—very interesting since so many
in your society place emphasis on the physical (appearance). Now, people
must deal with the minds and formulate opinions based on mental
interactions. Maybe it is a way for people to get along better. If you
can’t see a face, you don’t know who to be mad at.
The Internet will ultimately teach you how to work together as a
collective unit. Communication takes many forms, the Internet is just a
stepping stone or an aid to a higher form of communication. Nothing can
replace physical interaction. For until people rid themselves of
prejudice and bias, words emanating from the mind can be as damaging and
destructive as actions of the body. (Shamani) [top]
What do you see as the most important
scientific breakthroughs in the near future?
The toys that you play with are often symbols of your true feelings.
What can science do that you can not do for yourself? Do you look toward
scientific breakthroughs to propel you forward? If you use science in
conjunction with proper knowledge and wisdom, you will surely attain the
“greatest” scientific breakthroughs of your existence.
The most important scientific breakthroughs will come in the areas of
brain and psychic research. Finally, many of you will come to understand
the connection between your body, mind, and spirit. Up to now, many of
you have viewed those with psychic abilities as being possessed,
charlatans, false prophets, and soothsayers. Indeed, there are some who
could be labeled in such a way. This is not a time for judgment. Let us
focus on those who are purely motivated by love, not by love of fame or
fortune. Those of you who have developed the gift of psychic ability
shall prosper in the new age. It is important that you share your gift
in a loving and positive way for the benefit of all.
Another important scientific breakthrough will be in the area of energy
production and transference. The sun is the most powerful energy source
that you know of. So why not utilize its true potential? I realize that
many of the “persons of power” on the earth plane wish to deter thoughts
of such an energy source. But its time has truly come. All can benefit
from this source if it is regulated by all for the benefit of all. No
one person can own the sun nor its light, so why try?
Within five years, you will find and develop a cure for the so-called
“AIDS virus.” The cure will be in the form of a combination of a drug
and healing affirmations. Medicine and meditation can work hand-in-hand.
Look at the ancient cultures who worked with herbs and preparations as
well as meditation and prayer to cure ailments and diseases.
The only breakthroughs which should readily concern you are those which
you can make in yourself. There are two parts of you, essentially polar
opposites. It is important to bring the twoparts into balance so that
you may become one in body, mind, and spirit. Remember, the tools of
science can help or hinder your growth if they are used or not used in
conjunction with knowledge and wisdom respectively. (Asmuth)
[top]
Are there alternative energy sources and
how can we find and develop them?
Yes, oh crystals—beams of light. Pyramids of energy, long ago ancient
wisdom, truths untold, secrets revealed.
The great quartz crystal sitting high atop the pyramid. Pyramids of
energy—focused on the center. The sun is the eternal giver of life and
light. Harness it, use it, develop it.
Each person is a powerhouse of energy, collectively you could light up a
city. But in order to do this, you must become pure light, pure energy.
Transform your energy into a beam and radiate outward.
Minerals of the earth, givers of light. I hold one up to you—gold in
nature, purple when exposed. I speak of copper, a brilliant metal, a
great conductor of energy. Mold it into a form—a circle, a square—keep
the energy focused. Build with it. The copper pyramid is very powerful.
Sit beneath it, focus your energy, become energized with it. A great
power source, wireless and without sound. Build them and harness all the
power you need. (Asmuth) [top]
Why were we given the tools of film and television?
Film and television, visual aids of communication. A projection of ideas
and images to the masses. Mass communication is an art, an art you have
learned well.
You have been given these tools for learning. We (on the astral plane)
see great benefits through the utilization of these tools. Ideas and
thoughts can be conveyed to so many people, people who otherwise could
not access the information. These tools allow people to travel around
the universe without ever leaving their chair.
The ideas of one can be conveyed to millions. Film and television
facilitate the accelerated growth of all things, living and
“non-living.” Through the positive use of film and television, everyone
and everything can benefit. The reality of war and destruction is
brought to the forefront of your mind. No longer can people sit in their
glass houses and feel protected.
As a person living on the earth at this time, you have an abundance of
learning tools. These tools can be used for the benefit or the
destruction of all. (Shamani) [top]
How can we use mass communication to
benefit society?
Look at the ants, some of the smallest creatures on earth. The ants
communicate with each other as they build tunnels beneath the ground.
They seem to exemplify the most efficient use of mass communication.
Through each individual ant’s communication, the entire ant colony
benefits.
So I say to you (humans), each of you must communicate with each other
for the benefit of everyone. Share your thoughts and ideas. A good idea
for social change starts with one person. If that idea is shared with
another person and that person shares it with another person, soon
everyone will be exposed to that idea. Think—it all started with one
person and one idea.
Mass communication is a compilation of many minds, working
synchronously. Mass communication, whether it be verbal or telepathic,
can effectuate change on a universal level. Thoughts are communicated as
energy, the collective energy drives the universe.
Mass communication reaches people in distant places, whether it be
geographically or mentally. Without mass communication, we as
individuals would have thoughts and ideas lying dormant within ourselves
with no outlet.
So I say, today share a thought or an idea and maybe one day it will be
communicated back to you. (Shamani) [top]
Why do many of our media representations
focus so much on violence and hopelessness?
Destitute souls, souls without purpose. The media representations are
a reflection of the violence, despondence, and hopelessness felt by many
of you. What you believe in is what you will become.
The media is in the hands of the few. The few make the rules and set
guidelines. You will be exposed to their (the few people who control the
media) ideas.
The ideas of violence and hopelessness keep many of you focused within.
You are seemingly controlled by these ideas. I see that many of you do
not even venture out of your homes. You are afraid of that which you see
in film and television.
Fear, violence, and hopelessness are all interconnected. So many of you
are immobilized by it. You allow something so invisible to control you.
When you let it control you, your growth is stunted.
So I say to you, do not allow yourself to be swallowed up by the false
power and disguise of violence and hopelessness. Love, peace, and hope
wear no disguises. Embrace love, peace, and hope, a reflection for all
to see.
When you look at the stars in the nighttime sky, do you not see beauty
and hope? Wherever you are, whether it be a high point or a low point in
your life, remember the stars are always there. As long as the stars are
there, there is hope. (Asmuth) [top]
Why do so many people choose to watch
violent television and film?
I ask you, why do so many people pluck feathers from the eagle so that
it can not fly? The eagle is a symbol of purity and truth, yet you seek
to destroy it. What purpose does it serve?
The path to the truth is very long and arduous if you seek it through
violence.
Violence is an affliction of the heart. Do you find self-gratification
in hurting yourself or another person? Is your need for violence so
prominent that you need to see it over and over again? You have created
outlets for your aggression and violence. Little boxes of terror,
televisions and theatres, have been created so that you can act out your
violent thoughts and actions.
You feast on the blood and flesh. Your little boxes of terror only serve
to remove you from the violence physically. Remember that your thoughts
are just as powerful as your actions.
If you truly want peace in the world, lay down your weapons. Cast out
violence and replace it with love. Thoughts and acts of love will align
you with the truth.
Those who watch violent television and film, you must ask yourself—what
if the violence you relish was directed toward someone you love? Would
you view it the same? What is the difference?
You may laugh at and mock me for these words. But in these words, there
is truth. The question is—are you ready to embrace the truth or will you
stand by and watch the violence continue unabated? The choice is yours.
(Shamani) [top]
Why has violence become such a part of
our lives?
Violence is anger in disguise, and anger is violence in disguise. The
disguises you wear—masks of bad intentions. Harm another and you harm
yourself. You call it karma.
Your thoughts, the collective energies of a million people trapped in
their souls. They are looking for a way out.
Do I feel better seeing another fellow being in pain? What makes me
watch the anguish and pain? Celebrate the perpetrators and the
perpetration.
Many seek the answers to life’s questions through violence. You close
your heart so that no one can enter. Are you afraid of what they might
see? Keep running from yourself.
Violence like negative emotion can seem as powerful as love and positive
emotion. It (violence) wears a unique disguise. You only open yourself
to these emotions. We do not dictate your emotions.
There is an absence of love. Love is the answer.
You are what you eat. If you consume violence, you will become it.
(Asmuth) [top]
Why is there so much crime?
Crime, victims of rage and anger. Crimes of the heart, how many victims
must there be?
Every crime has a story to tell. Most often, it has a tale of
destruction. People’s lives are forever changed, the last glimmer of
hope has faded. Is there hope for peace in the wake of destruction? How
many lives must be sacrificed? The sacrificial rites become routine for
those who commit the crime and those who are victims.
Crime is a concept used by the powerless to hurt those seemingly in
power. Fear is ever present in those who commit the crime, although they
profess no fear. Fear runs rampant among many of you. There seems to be
no end in sight. People run helplessly along the streets. “Will I be
next?” are the words I often hear.
Crime is fueled by the thoughts and energies of many people. Many of
these people are unhappy with their lives. If people were happy, and
respected and loved themselves and other people, there would be no
crime. Until then, you must not be controlled by the thoughts and
energies of the few (those who commit the crimes). You must put your
strength in supporting loving and positive actions. If you focus on
glorifying crime, then you only have yourself to ask, “Why is there so
much crime?” (Shamani) [top]
What should we tell our children about
crime and violence?
Blades and fire consume many souls. There are many who wield the sword
of death with great intent and purpose. They hide behind a shield of
insecurity. How long can they hide—the truth must be known. I say to
those people, cast your swords aside and lay down your shields. How many
people do you have to hurt before you see that the hate you feel lies
within you?
You can not blame others for your feelings of rage and anger. The more
you hide behind your shield or run away, the more enraged you become. Do
you doubt your ability to love and do good things? Why don’t you reach
out to another human being for assistance, but do it out of love for
that person and most importantly, yourself. You are the keeper of your
soul. The body you have chosen to carry your soul must be kept whole.
I say to the children, remember love is the answer to all that plagues
the world. There are some people who wear shields or protective armor to
mask their true emotions and insecurity. Do not be drawn into the energy
of crime and violence, it has false power. Crime and violence do not
stand true in the light.
I say to the parents of the children, be an example to your children.
Show them how to love and respect all life. Teach them to positively
express themselves.
Feelings must be expressed, give them an outlet. You are responsible in
part for their soul’s development. I see many children focused on a
screen (television and video games). I ask you, why do they sit here,
unmonitored? The images they see are filled with crime and violence. But
you say your society is filled with crime and violence. It is not only
the food you feed your children that helps them grow. By allowing your
children to watch crime and violence on the screen, you are creating a
future based on that which you detest.
Teach the children the value of life, for your future depends on it.
(Asmuth) [top]
Why do we
often feel like victims?
Pyramids stand high, a purpose higher than ourselves. Riddles to the
few, questions unanswered, sights unseen.
Crimes of passion. Victims stand alone, stiff in the wind, unbeknownst
to many. Visibly cursed, life without purpose. Retrieve thy self, the
eagle speaks in soft tones. Listen and understand. Come seek the
answers—a thousand questions, a thousand answers. (Shamani)
[top]
How do we release our “victim”
self-image?
Release through expression. Self-expression yearns for guidance. Guided
by the light down a long dark road. Who knows what lies ahead. Dormant
ideas, expressions unnoticed, paths not yet taken.
Examine the self, what is your purpose? Life seems dismal, you are
carried along. Do not come looking for answers, the answers are locked
within. Go within and seek that which makes you prominent within
yourself. Self-preservation is the key, unlock the doors to your soul.
Proclaim your innocence, your self-indulgence, your dignity.
Express yourself and be one with it. It can only be what you make of it.
The desires are strong, we find one to blame but find a blameless heart.
The key is to love oneself beyond imagine. Imagine all that is good, all
that can be. Embrace and embody the goodness. Goodness reigns within
each of us.
Feathers of white, oh pearly white, plucked one by one, reveal your true
self. Rise up and celebrate who you are. See the purpose of your life,
one who holds the key to eternity.
Life without victims, life without proverb. Proverbs bring us to the
crystalline mountaintop, the mountaintop of life. The spirit fully
expressed through nature and form. Reach the epitome of life, the
purpose is clear but sometimes lacks direction. It is for you I wish
this. For this is true expression of the self. You deserve it, let no
one tell you otherwise. You are the director of your life. Life without
purpose is life without form. The eagle focuses intently on the purpose
at hand, devoid of . . . (Shamani) [top]
What would you say to those doing
criminal acts?
To you I say, lay down your weapons. Not only your guns and knives but
your hands. Who is it that you wish to hurt, yourself or someone else?
Take off the mask you wear, let me see your face. I see the life you
have been given. I see the scars you have. I feel the pain in your mind.
But I ask you, for what purpose have you inflicted pain on another soul?
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Are you afraid of what you
might see?
You have a choice. You can choose a cycle of crime which takes you
nowhere, you always come back to the same point. Or you can choose to
confront the issues of change. Do you want to change? The choice is
yours. (Shamani) [top]
Why was the gun invented?
Objects of fantasy or objects of reality? What is a gun but a weapon of
control and destruction? Are those who use guns emotionally secure? Can
inner security be replaced by a symbol of superficial security? It seems
those who invented the gun thought so.
“Why was the gun invented?” you ask. It was initially invented under the
disguise of protecting people from animals. But as you now see, guns are
generally used to protect people from people. The problem is guns are in
the hands of many. When guns are in the hands of many, there are many
people walking around in fear. Guns were invented to squelch that fear.
As you can see, what you fear is what you become.
Guns create a false sense of security. The bigger the gun, the more
secure you feel. Who has the biggest gun?—two opposing sides have argued
this for years.
Which side will admit they have the biggest gun? If one side admitted
this, then the other side would attempt to make a bigger gun. Would this
side feel more or less secure with a bigger gun? The bigger the gun, the
greater the fear. And so the argument continues—who has the biggest gun?
Can I ask you one question, does it really matter? Guns are tools which
can be used to maim or destroy one or many lives. How can guns promote
peace when you let guns do the talking? Does a gun conjure up images of
love and peace? Guns only protect you from your own fears and
insecurities. The bullets that are ejected from your guns are filled
with these fears and insecurities.
Remember, one person invented the gun. Now look at the global
implications of one person’s fears and insecurities. See how one life
choice can impact the lives of many. Make your choices wisely, for the
consequences of those choices may reach far beyond your life. (Asmuth)
[top]
Why do we have war?
War of the minds, war of the souls—where does it stop? “Stop the war” is
a familiar cry I hear. Cries for help, destitute minds, skin peeled off,
blood shed all over. Cries of the innocent—when will it ever end? Do you
learn from war? Yes, but the lessons need not be so difficult.
Egos, yours and mine—how do we resolve the conflict? Pick up a gun and
blow each other away. Where is the sense in this? What did it solve? Did
your souls communicate? If they did, fear would be most prominent next
to anger. Why must anger move to the forefront? How self-destructive.
Destruction at the hands of a few, darkness chosen over light.
When will the day come when you have no need for these trials by fire?
Fire consumes everything, it leaves no prisoners. Those left behind to
view the destruction are devastated. Think of the children, they are
your hope and promise for the future. A future without guns and missiles
is what we ask of you. Can you survive without them? (Asmuth)
[top]
What is the meaning of the war in Bosnia?
Guns, fretfulness, fulfilling to some. See the poverty, the oppression,
would you not fight for what you believe is right? (Asmuth)
How can we end war altogether?
You can end war altogether by acknowledging and understanding that there
is no need for war. If you say that war is necessary to maintain
security and stability, then I say that you dwell in the depths of
insecurity. What is a war but a battle of egos?
If you are secure with your own identity and position in life, then you
will see no need to challenge others to do battle. It is imperative that
each and every citizen of the world realizes and understands this simple
answer. I challenge every one of you to become secure with yourself.
The battles you wage have no winners or losers, but many casualties.
Wars have been waged on earth since the time humans inhabited the earth.
Don’t you think that after thousands of years, peace would inevitably
evolve out of war? Indeed, peace has been rendered across the earth,
time and time again. But alas, new battles and new wars are waged. If
they handed out medals for insecurity, there would be no one left to
fight the wars. Do you understand what I am saying?
Many of you think of the collective wars your nations wage against
others. But I ask you to think of the individual battles and wars you
wage with yourself, your family, your coworkers, and nature. All of
these individual battles and wars contribute to the collective
consciousness of war. If you say there are no world wars at present,
then why are the world’s inhabitants (you) at war against each other?
Once you understand what the root cause of war is, then you must focus
on a positive solution. Peace starts with you—one voice, one body, one
mind, and one spirit. Start by trying to accept and love yourself. It
does not matter what others might think of you. I will tell you that you
are the most beautiful person in the world and so is everyone else.
Remember, from “one” you were conceived and to “one” you shall return.
Simply said, we are all one. We are all segments of “one,” try to
respect each other’s diversity.
Learn to accept yourself as a single entity with a single purpose, and
recognize and accept others’ rights to the same. For he peace that you
seek in yourself is no different than the peace others seek in
themselves. You can end war altogether by choosing peace. So I ask you,
are you first willing to make peace with yourself? Peace will bring
security and stability, and security and stability will bring peace. Are
you ready to accept it? (Shamani) [top]
Why do accidents and disasters happen?
Those things that do not stand true in the light are subject to these
events. When we do not follow our true purpose or stray from our life
path, we open ourselves. Our course is changed forever.
Accidents and disasters are lessons in disguise. How you recover from
these is the true test. Obstacles and challenges help us to grow. Growth
is a learning process. We all have lessons, some we may grow tired of.
When we resist the flow, we are subject to these accidents and
disasters. There are no coincidences.
Wisdom comes through learning and following your life path. Stray from
the path and you will be led back to it.
For some, this may sound cold and callous. If you find yourself affected
by an accident or a disaster, think of what you can learn. Is this the
way to higher truth? All questions need answers. All questions have
answers but sometimes the answers are not simple. The answers are often
disguised in ordinary things. (Asmuth) [top]
What would you say to those who lost
their homes in the hurricanes?
Skies of terror opened unleashing rain and wind. The oceans rose to meet
the land. Nature does not discriminate, nature is everywhere. It knows
no boundaries. The earth is a very complex system. You have not even
begun to understand the complexity. The earth is not something you can
rule. You can not control it.
The houses you build are boxes which you place yourself in. You seek
protection from the elements (wind, rain, and snow) and other people.
You have lost the sense of community and of working together. You stay
in your little boxes, watching the world revolve around you. You are
safe in this notion until disaster strikes. Then you see the truth. You
see strangers helping strangers, neighborhoods working together for a
common cause. But where is this attitude the rest of the time? Why does
it often take a disaster to bring people together?
You must feel humble now. When you are stripped of everything you own,
even your clothes, you stand alone and naked. At this point, you are
forced to look at yourself and within yourself. What do you see?
Rebuild you will, it may take a long time. You will survive, you always
have, you always will. But I ask you to think about what you are
rebuilding. Are you just rebuilding your house or will you rebuild
yourself also?
Opportunities for growth are often disguised. What will you learn from
this experience?
Things can be replaced—we can do without a lot of things. But life is
more precious and sacred—can it be readily replaced? No!
So, I ask you to ponder the life you have been given. Live the way of
the truth, and the truth shall come to thee. (Asmuth)

Why do so many people crave drama in
their lives?
Drama is creative expression of the human spirit.
The road to knowledge and wisdom is fairly straight and smooth. Although
there are minor bumps and holes, the road is not impassable. Many of you
who crave drama in your lives wish to make the journey more difficult
than it is. Instead of keeping a clear vision of what lies ahead, you
become distracted and fall over the bumps and into the holes. Feeling
insecure and embarrassed, you tell tales of deep crevasses and tall
mountains that you have traversed. You become impassioned and tell the
tale to anyone who will listen. Soon, you draw a crowd, your ego grows
as big as the tale you tell. Every word from your mouth hinges on the
last. You say, let the drama unfold. Now, you are so caught up in the
drama that you can’t escape.
The deep crevasses and tall mountains that you have created now stand in
the way. You have trapped yourself in your own creation. Your life is an
inescapable drama. Drama is only an escape from what is real, the truth.
Those who crave drama in their lives are not honest with themselves. You
know who you are.
Your life can be as dramatic or melodramatic as you desire. Remember
that your desires create drama in your life.
I ask you to maintain a vision of who you truly are. Align yourself with
the road that leads to knowledge and wisdom. All the drama you need
awaits those who are willing to discover their inner selves. (Asmuth)

What will we learn in the next twenty
years?
You will learn how to derive simplicity from complexity. Living a
simpler existence is necessary for your survival. Those of you who can
learn this simple lesson will fully prosper in the coming years.
You will also learn how to heal yourself of many ailments and diseases.
Affirmations and meditation are the keys which will help you. So many of
you do not see the gift of healing that you have. I invite each of you
to be responsive to your own healing ability. Remember the road to
wellness starts with you.
You will learn the true meaning of living in peace. Discourses on war
will be prevalent in history classes. The children who are born twenty
years from now will only be able to read about war as if it never
existed. Many of you fear the future, for you feel war is certain. I ask
you to lay down your “arms” (your guns, missiles, and bombs). What
purpose do they have but to separate each of you? Peace is a reality for
most of the world (earth plane). Are you ready to declare peace in your
world?
The next twenty years will surely be filled with challenges. You may
choose a path that no others have chosen. There are always leaders and
followers. If you choose the path to the light and truth, others will
follow you. There will be those who deny the truth. For them the path
will be very difficult, unless they accept what has been written.
I challenge each of you to align yourself with your higher purpose. If
you are not sure what your higher purpose is, let your past be your
guide. What difficult lessons have you had to learn in the past? Are you
repeating the same lessons over and over in terms of your career, life,
and relationships? Take time to ask yourself, who am I? Am I happy with
who I am? Do I love myself? You may see that you are forcing life upon
yourself. You are the key to your higher purpose.
Twenty years from now, you will look back in pure amazement. You will
see that the answers to life’s most important questions were right in
front of you. Now, you have the knowledge and wisdom of these words to
assist you in your journey. The rest is up to you. I wish you good
fortune today and always. Let the magic in your soul illuminate your
life path. (Asmuth) [top]
What will happen to the earth plane as we
approach the year 2000?
A new millennium awaits your discovery. A countenance of options lie
before you. There are many prophets among you who speak of death and
destruction.
Many a false prophet rule the world (the earth plane). Those who listen
to these false prophets surely are confused and wallow in their own
pity. Surely it is a pity that you must ask this question. Many
civilizations before you led themselves down similar paths. They too
pondered their fate, the fate of a thousand years.
So many of you see time as the ruler of your fate. The thoughts and
energy you give time may well determine your fate. Is time of the
essence, or is the essence in time? Ponder this question, the answers
you seek concerning your fate can be found in this question.
Look to no others to save you from yourself. The angels of mercy watch
over and guide you, but you (collectively as humans) ultimately must
decide your own fate. Will it be worldwide pestilence, fear, famine,
catastrophes, and abominations or worldwide love, beauty, honesty,
respect, care, and unity? The choice seems easy, doesn’t it? Then I ask,
why do so many of you refuse to embrace the latter? What are you afraid
of?
The earth has many scars from your civilizations as well as past
civilizations. If you choose to abandon the earth plane, what legacy are
you leaving? And who will be around to hear it? All of you have been
given the gift of eternal life, so why not preserve it? Be a symbol of
hope and love for others to see.
The earth plane can be saved from the words of the soothsayers and false
prophets. However, the thoughts and words of love must come from each of
you.
The foundation of love has been laid, and each of you symbolize bricks
of love. The building cannot stand tall and true if one brick is
missing. Each of you is responsible for the fate of the earth plane.
Mine are words of truth, not words of a prophet. I ask you not to look
at the year 2000 as an end but as a new beginning. This I will say, the
year 2000 will be a “time” of people helping people. The year 2000 will
be the start of a new millennium and the manifestation of the collective
human spirit. Will the collective human spirit embrace “life” or
“death”? Each of you must decide! (Asmuth) [top] |
