| In some ways this relates to my frustration with my ornamental garden. It gets eaten constantly by the native animals. I love these native animals around us, but there is a sense of frustration. Now I'm coming to realise that the more love I send out to these animals, instead of anger... will this actually help my ornamental garden? Yes, it will. As you know yourself, humans have a tendency to eat food in order to feel love. You understand that love and Prana exist separately from the ingestion of food. This energy is not dissimilar from that experienced by animals. If you allow love for the animals that are around you, they will not feel the same necessity to eat the beautiful thing that you have created, in order to feel your love. That explains it beautifully, thank you. Do different animals have different significance? A lot of times I go out at night and come across an owl or two - the owl always seems to be there. Is there any significance to that? One very much draws the energy of certain animals. This is at the heart of what Native Americans understand as having a personal totem. I would say to you that as you often see an owl it is, in fact, a mark of your own wisdom. Honour that spirit for it is an aspect of yourself. All animals are aspects of yourselves. The ones that you see are the ones that you need to see. If you are seeing only those creatures that you fear as loathesome, then you need to look at something in your lives, for animals themselves have no malice, they have no intention to harm. They have no judgement system as do humans. They have no concept of right or wrong; success or failure; black or white. They just appear as they are called. They are faithful servants of your own energy and you will see what you need to see. I enjoyed my life time, on the Earth plane, as Francis of Assisi, working with animals and their spirit and their energy. I understand well the complexities of the animal kingdom and the fact that the animal kingdom has been for centuries trying to communicate with mankind; but it is not the animals that are dumb, necessarily. They have been faithful to their calling and have presented human kind with the messages that human kind needed. It is human kind that has failed to observe them. Enjoy watching the animals around you, for you are attuned to them and I honour your wisdom in that. How is it that the snake or the serpent is the 'baddy' in one religion and honoured in others? How indeed? The serpent is, in many ways, the most spiritual form on Earth. It is "spirit in motion" - that is the message of the serpent. There are so many on Earth who would wish to kill it and there are so many on Earth who would wish to revere it and to honour it. It is interesting, is it not, that even in your Western traditions there are strange religious ceremonies that honour the serpent for one day of the year, and yet for the rest of the year they are at risk of being killed. I find that enigmatic, to say the very least. You are right, the serpent carries a lot of karma, particularly since the parable of the Garden of Eden, but it was not the serpent that ate the apple. I have a question. In June, I was going to do the ground ascension process and ... should I still do it? It is difficult for me to advise you, except to say that you need to be sure, in your own heart, that what you are doing is your own path. I understand your pain and your difficulty in coming to a decision about this process. Allow me to tell you that it is not essential that you do this for you to find your way Home. It is but one way, but you need to meditate on this, go into yourself and ask "Is this the agreement that I came to, before I came to this place?" You may need to take some time over this, but you need to be sure. For this is not something that you can enter into lightly. It might be important for you to know that the Ground Ascension Process, as best describes it, is being wound down by Spirit because the number of people required to undertake the work in the times ahead has been reached. That is not to say that anyone who feel strongly should not do the process because, of those people, some will fall by the wayside and will need to be replaced, but the need to find the numbers is not the same as it was. This may make your choice a little easier, but I understand that you are a very spiritual being and that your age makes it difficult for you to come to this choice; but this is why you are here; to make this choice at this time. Be assured that whatever you decide will be perfect. And if you choose not to do the process, you should not see that as any form of failure on your part, because it is not. And if you choose to do the process do not feel that it is any form of success on your part because it is not. Either way, it is because you understand what it is that you need to do. Has that been of some help to you? Sort of. Can I be of any further assistance to you on that? Well, in September... some time, my Dad gave me a chance to go up to Cairns to see him and I don't feel that I can explain to him about the ascension. That is one that I will find it difficult to help you with, because that is part of what the process is about. Whether you complete the process, or not, your life is one of service and you will be carrying the Light. You need to ask yourself whether this is achieved more effectively by showing people that you no longer need to eat to sustain yourself, or whether there are other ways that you can best carry the Light. It is through a sense of service that you are here. And that may help you in your decision. It is very easy to get swept up in the energy of those around you, particularly when you are young. Be sure in your heart that what you do is for the reasons that you would wish, and that it is part of your path. If you choose to do this process, do not be afraid because, even though some may react adversely in your perception, to what you have done, no harm will come to you. You will be protected by the fact that you carry the Light within your heart. Would it very much matter if he did eat during the time he was there? This is a question that only he can answer. In Spirit, it doesn't matter whether you eat or not. If you understand that you are sustained by Prana why do you need to eat, or why do you need to not eat. It doesn't matter. It is entirely up to the individual to choose when they eat and whether or not they wish to eat. But if you enjoy the taste of food, or if you wish to partake in someone else's ceremony, there is no problem with eating. So that is an option for you as well. Thank you, that has been of some assistance. Glad to have been of some service to you. I think for other beings who are not eating it is easy, but going to another place, to a totally different environment makes it hard. "When in Rome..." Remember, too, when you have understood why you are here and the veils have been removed you will not dwell on the past or the future as you are now. You will live in the moment and the only thing which will be of importance to you is what is happening at the time. A lot of things seem very freaky when you think of them in advance and yet, when the time comes, nothing materialises and you feel, "Why did I need to worry?" Well, that is the lesson. The lesson is now; and that, that is in the past and the future, in fact does not exist because it is not now. But you are having these feelings now to remind you that there is something that you need to do now and that is to deal with whatever energy it is that brings up those feelings. I feel as if I have talked long enough. This channel is tiring. I have enjoyed this experience with you and look forward to next time we meet. Until then I bid you farewell. Thank you. Farewell, Lord Kuthumi. |
