4. Speaking of well known people, we would like to ask you about President George W. Bush. Although there are people who think he is doing a good job, one of our Study Group members asks: “Some of us find it very challenging to feel love and compassion toward President Bush, or even not to feel hostile toward him, particularly concerning his choice to wage war in Iraq. Would you please offer us an historical perspective of him as a soul, including past lifetimes when he has been of service to humanity, which might help us more easily see and feel the goodness in him now?”
5. Each month, we ask you to give us inspiration for the coming month. This month, would you please close by giving us a focus, or a mental practice for the upcoming year? |

5. How will the increased input and knowledge affect the intuitive abilities of the next generation? Will they be more firmly entrenched in earth life, or will they have greater intuitive capacities? 6. One of our Study Group members asks: “If I am sick, should I be able to heal myself physically by examining and treating my fears?” 7. Regarding healing, I thought I once heard you say that the time would come when all physical illness would be healed by modern medicine. Did I hear that correctly, and if so, would you expand on that thought please? 8. American Indian Cultures (among others) believe in communication with “animal spirits.” Do such energies exist, or is it the power of imagination that is providing the support they receive from such beliefs? 9. Would you please close with an attunement for us to use this month? |

with my partner in the eyes of the souls or the Divine. Similarly, I don't feel marriage between people of the opposite sex is any more blessed in the eyes of God than same-sex marriages would be. There appear to be great fears surrounding this issue, ranging from those whose ideals are focused on eliminating ones who commit what they believe to be immoral acts, to those who fear being eliminated and seek acceptance for their differences. In light of these things, is there any benefit in the eyes of God in forbidding or preventing same-sex couples from being married?
4. I want to follow up on something you just said, that God does not judge the things that we do on earth and loves us no matter what. Is that true also in the way that humans choose to worship God. There is so much diversity in religion and in the way humans choose to pray, to worship, to revere God. Does God care? 5. Another Study Group member asks: “Do our guiding souls ever speak to us through mechanisms other than our inner voice? Sometimes I feel that I am receiving guidance through a timely song on the radio, or even through a fortune telling 8-ball that I was given as a gift. Oddly enough, the answers I get through this ball almost always jive with my intuition. Is this completely silly, or just another way to get through to soul guidance?” 6.

2. You speak about the Christ force, as representing more than Jesus the person. How would you name and describe this Christ force if you had a group of Hindus, Muslims, and Jews instead of groups of mostly Christians?
3. Fundamentalism and extremism seem to be more prevalent than ever in our world, one side trying to convert or attack the other. Are we, as humans, becoming more polarized in our beliefs? Is this a trend that is here to stay? 4. Would you please close with an attunement for us to use this month? |

4. Please give us more detail regarding the need to return into the physical world to heal negativity. Do all souls do this, or only some? Does this become a “requirement” that each soul must complete? Is the nature of the fear that the human self “left behind” in a certain lifetime the same experience that the soul will choose to re-create in a new lifetime? 5. There is overwhelming evidence from fossils, body design, and genetic structure, that human beings (or at least the human animal body) are the result of approximately 600 million years of evolution since the first multicellular animals appeared. This process of producing ever-increasing complexity went through uncountable millions of generations of animal forms, proceeding from fish, to amphibians, to reptiles, to mammals, and finally to primates and Homo Sapiens. Why did the souls choose such a lengthy, convoluted method of creating the physical vehicle for souls to have experience on earth, rather than just creating humans from nothing? 6.

3. The Bible, and most Christian religions, teach us to pray using “The Lord's Prayer.” If Jesus were present today, what prayer would he suggest we use? 4. One Study Group member asks: “I have heard that the origin of fear is ultimately the fear of death. While you have assured us that there is no death, my mind seems unwilling to accept that. Is there anything else you can say to help us change our thinking about death, and reduce the amount of fear we unconsciously hold in life?” 5. There is a lot of media hype that influences our expectations about how we should express sexually throughout our lives. It is not uncommon for people, especially middle aged women, to feel conflicted abut the gap between societal expectations for much sexual involvement, and the actuality of our experience of lesser levels of desire. What would be the natural progression of our human sexuality desires and expressions throughout life if we were to factor out the media’s influence? 6.

4. This question is from a long-time monthly Study Group member: “A bevy of questions arise at the passing of Ronald Reagan and his years spent with Alzheimer’s. In a general sense, what is the gain for a soul to have its physical expression lie dormant for ten years waiting to die? What is going on in the conscious mind of the person with Alzheimer's? What kinds of people tend to get Alzheimer's? What can you tell us about Alzheimer's that would shed some light on this dreaded and seemingly wasteful disease?
5. One Study Group member is confused about negativity and soul choices. He asks: “Do souls plan and agree before incarnation to do ‘bad’ or ‘evil’ things, like child abuse, murder, rape, and torture? If so, why? I've heard and read so much conflicting information. For example, I've heard that murders, rapes, and so forth, are actually planned and agreed upon, that they are not viewed as bad or evil, but as challenging events that produce growth. I've also heard that such things are not planned. What is the truth here?” 6. Would you please describe what methods, thoughts, and energies are most effective to use in creating results in life on earth? Is achieving success a matter of will, action, and persistence in the outer world, or, do inner intentions, commitments, and heartfelt desires actually help “attract” whatever it is we wish to manifest? 7.

indicated no such thing, but rather a calm and steady decrease of selfishness, and a gradual growth of idealism and love. However, since 2000, many dramatic negative events have occurred in the world, and many people around the world are worried about the future. What do the patterns that you now see indicate? Have they changed from what you saw earlier?
4. If one has lived prior lives in spiritual bliss why would that individual choose to come back to earth in a less enlightened state? 5. Are there clues to knowing if someone is completing and living a last human life? You have said we often cannot tell, but are there signs if we know what to look for? 6.

3. It can be very discouraging to have an illness that is difficult to heal. When we feel we “should” be able to heal it naturally and don’t, we can often feel like a failure, or we can feel that we have not done the “right” thing. Would you speak to this attitude and how to think about healing, or failing to heal, physical illness?
4. Is there something about the way the souls create that we can mirror to help us in our own human creations and creativity? 5. Technology may soon allow us to enhance ourselves with genetic engineering, computer chip implants, and other means. Is this in alignment with the souls’ plans for humans? 6.

5. A Study Group member asks: “I am wondering how a traditionally idealistic and good country like the United States can become so incredibly destructive at home, and especially abroad, and why so many Americans seem not to notice this? What lesson are they missing? Or, perhaps, what lesson is being offered to them to learn? Where is the purpose here, from the souls' perspective? I can't see one. I feel mostly sad, but also fearful.”
6. One of our Study Group members has a question about giving to others. She writes: “What is our responsibility to give back to those in need in the world, in terms of giving money to organizations that are trying to protect our precious environment, overcome racism, create peace, feed the poor, protect children? I have a stack of 80 requests beyond those I've already supported. I read them all and have so much compassion for the people they are serving and their causes. I support as many as I can. I give financially and with service to my church. I have great gratitude for the blessings in my life, compassion for so many appeal organizations, and I want to share, but I have limited funds. What do you have to say on this subject?” 7. Would you please close with an attunement for us to use in the coming month? |

4. A Study Group member asks the following: “You often suggest that we recognize our magnificence, and reflect on what a wonderful human we are. When we are in a state of emotional pain, or depression, that can be very difficult. We might ask, ‘If I am such a wonderful, magnificent human, why do I not have the love relationship I desire, or the job I want? If I am such a wonderful human, why are others not recognizing my magnificence and lining up to be with me?’ How can we resolve this seeming contradiction?” 5. There are surveys that show that more than 95% of Americans believe in God, and 90% meditate or pray. What is it that makes us so disposed toward spirituality and faith? Are we “wired,” or “programmed,” to believe in a higher power, is it cultural, or, is it just based on the fear of death? 6.

meaning that prayers are only answered if the praying person has absolute belief that the prayer will be answered. My question is this: when a person is praying to ask for something from God, does it actually change anything in the physical world? Do the souls, or God, actually act on requests from humans in the form of prayer? If so, what is the key to getting a prayer answered?”
4. These days, it seems that many people are brought up in what we call “dysfunctional” families, some with much violence. Yet, not all of these children become violent, abusive adults. What makes the difference as to the outcome of a terrible childhood? Is it past-life influences, guiding souls, or something that occurs in the present lifetime, such as a mentor, or a person who sets a good example in the life of the child? 5. In the search for contentment and enlightenment, are some people more limited than others? How can we tell if we are so limited, and what can be done to move beyond the limits? 6. I need to return to the question of the effectiveness of prayer. Just knowing that there is even a possibility that the souls could choose miraculous intervention to save a loved one’s life makes me feel, “Why wouldn’t they choose to do that for my loved one?” The loss of a loved one is the most painful of human experiences, and it seems cruel that the souls wouldn’t save my loved one if they could. Would you help us understand this a little more please? 7. Would you please close with an attunement for us to use in the coming month? |
