Choosing Your Family

Choosing Your FamilyDiana Cooper – Have you ever wondered why you chose your parents or your siblings? There are, of course, many reasons, karmic and otherwise.  Two of my friend’s children are totally different from each other.  One is sturdy and worldly, the other ethereal and emotional. I often wondered why they chose to be brother and sister.  And then one day recently I had a vision.  I watched and heard a clear cosmic scenario take place, rather like watching a film on television.  This is what I experienced.

I saw a tall, slim, beautiful and elegant young lady talking to a sturdy, handsome young man.  They were in deep conversation as they stood in a queue waiting to go into a conference.  It transpired to be an intergalactic conference for souls who wanted to incarnate on Earth. Continue reading

The Adventure of Being Human

physical lifeOwen K Waters – Thousands of years ago, humanity made a decision; a decision to live with a sense of inner separation.

At that time, spirits had become tired of incarnating as fully-aware spirits-in-physicality. They wanted more challenge in life. They wanted to turn life into a mystery; a true, stand-alone human experience, not just an extension of spirit into matter.

Bear in mind that, in the natural state of spiritual living, as free spirits in the mental realms, there are very few limitations. People can manifest anything they need, relocate instantly in space, shift to a different position in time, all at the speed of thought. In the mental realms, people can visit friends or go along with them, exploring the universe, all through the power of thought. That’s why they’re called the mental realms. Continue reading

Incarnation, Our Parallel Lives

“But the ‘present’ moves at the Speed of Thought, into a ‘past’ that is simply a collection of electro-magnetic imprints called memories.  So what are generally recognized as re-incarnations is actually one single projection of consciousness that, in the third-dimensional reality, is perceived to be several consecutive incarnations that are all trying to fulfill the same life purpose.” – V Anderson

The Awakening Website ~ In 563 BC, a prince named Siddhārtha Gautama was born into a Hindu family in what is now modern day Nepal. Gautama is the key figure in the Buddhist religion. He was commonly known as Buddha – a Sanskrit word that means ‘awakened one’.

Various collections of teachings that were attributed to the Buddha were passed down by oral tradition, but were not committed to writing until about 400 years after his death. At that time, the doctrine of the Buddha was written on parchment in the language of Pali.

There are some striking similarities between the lives that both Jesus and Buddha have led and the teachings they taught. Most of these similarities went unnoticed until Professor Richard Garbe, a German Indologist and Professor of Sanskrit at the University of Tübingen in Germany, journeyed to India in the late 1880’s.

Professor Garbe spent a year in the sacred city of Benares studying Hindu philosophy and the languages of Hinduism and Buddhism, and then wrote a journal about his experiences. In his book, Indien und das Christentum, he describes the many similarities he had discovered between the teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism, and those of Christianity.[i] Continue reading

Your True, Inner Self

OwenKWatersOwen K Waters – Your inner self is your complete self. Often referred to as your soul or higher self, your inner self includes all aspects of your consciousness as an individual.

Your inner self encompasses all levels of your consciousness – subconscious, superconscious and waking consciousness. You can think of your waking consciousness as an “outer self,” because it’s function is to focus upon a world which has the appearance of being external. The human brain is designed to translate the concepts of space and time into something that appears real. Your outer self’s focus is directed at the physical world, which it perceives through the five physical senses.

People habitually think of their soul as being something elsewhere, and not something that encompasses their waking consciousness. They also think of the world as being “out there” rather than what it really is – an internal projection of theatrical props which make life appear to be a real drama.

It is more useful to use the term “inner self” to describe the complete self because, compared to the external world, it appears to be inside of you.

When you look at the reality of life, everything is inside of you. As a spark of Infinite Being, the entire universe is inside of you because the universe was created within the consciousness of Infinite Being. The definition of “Infinite Being” is “consciousness which encompasses all.” Nothing can be outside of an all-encompassing consciousness, therefore all must be within and, as an aspect of Infinite Being, it is within you.
