WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE THAT COMMIT SUICIDE? IS IT THE SAME FOR EVERYONE? HOW CAN I FACILITATE AN AFTER DEATH COMMUNICATION WITH MY LOVED ONE? IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONTACT THOSE THAT COMMIT SUICIDE?

No, it is not the same for everyone. There are many stories as to what happens when ones take their own lives. There is, in a sense, a sort of karmic debt that is accrued when one takes their own life and gives back the gift that was given with taking a body, for the opportunities for growth are great within the form.

As far as opening communication, it depends. If they are yet in the astral plane and have not gone on because many who take their own lives feel great remorse and as a result they do not completely let go. They end up in a place of trying to make amends to those that they realize they have hurt, so sometimes they are there and you can just talk to them. It would be good to talk to them in a way that encourages them to know that they are forgiven, that they can move on to the light of love, and that they can move toward healing the state of mind that created the choice to take their own life. 

If the person has moved all the way through to the other side, then there is a period of time where they are not able to be communicated with. This is true for those who have taken their own lives as well as those who go to the other side through other means such as accidents or illness. It is usually three to four months, but it can even be longer than that depending on the need of the soul for a sort of healing process. During that time they are not as available to family and friends. They are wrapped in great love and they are moving through their own process of healing and releasing from the life they have left behind. After a period of time there is usually a reconnection, most often loved ones have a dream or some sense of connecting to these ones again, which is an indication that they have passed through this period of time and are now available for greater communication or connection. To be able to at some times process or move towards greater completion, for they are no longer attached or bound in the same way, and can visit and assure you that all is well.

For you we would suggest that for the one that you are asking about that you just rest with a certain amount of peace. This one is being cared for, there is great love, that you will at a point of time in the future have a sense of connection, and then you will know that all is well. 

DO WE MAKE CONTRACTS WITH SPIRIT BEFORE WE INCARNATE? I WAS TOLD ONE TIME IN A DREAM THAT I HAD FIVE GROWN CHILDREN. I CURRENTLY HAVE THREE, AND AM OPEN TO HAVING MORE - BECAUSE OF THIS DREAM. I GUESS I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS A "CONTRACT" I MADE BEFORE COMING HERE. AM I BOUND TO HONOR THAT CONTRACT? 

Rather than calling them contracts, we would say agreements. There are soul-level agreements that are made before you incarnate. They are made with those who are in your life including parents, sometimes significant partners and friends, and oftentimes children. These agreements are such that there is a certain amount of freedom within the life so that when you begin to realize what your life is about and what your soul desires to do, you can re-negotiate the agreements. They are not set in stone. Just as in earth when you have an agreement or contract that becomes unwieldly or not meeting each other’s needs, you re-negotiate the contracts. There is no karma for doing that, it is just mastery of the soul saying “this is what I need now as this unfolding has proceeded”.

You have three children in the earth, and you also have two children in Spirit. You may also have other children that are not in physical form. Tune in to this and realize that there may be others that you may be parenting, not in a direct way, but in your heart.

I OFTEN DO NOT HAVE THE AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL ENERGY THAT I THINK I SHOULD HAVE OR AM CAPABLE OF HAVING. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS DUE TO MY DIET, FROM STRESS, SHIFTS IN THE EARTH, OR IF THERE IS SOME OTHER THING I COULD BE DOING TO INCREASE MY ENERGY LEVEL.

Energy is related to the first two chakras, the root chakra and the second chakra. If your energy is low then usually this means that there is a compromise within those chakras which is not drawing energy up. Perhaps you do not allow yourself to feel what you are feeling, or you may not be following through, expressing your feelings. If you do not express what you feel in a consistent, then the energy contracts and is not available for your life; acting, creating, doing, moving things into form. 

The body and the emotions are your primary source of physical energy and of energy to move things into form. You might pay attention to what you are feeling, or if there has been suppression of feelings in your life, or if you have not been able to express all of your emotions, your truth, or your sense of your needs or desires are being thwarted in some way so you are re-diverting your energy into something that is not meeting your needs, desires, or feelings. Then your energy goes away. It is quite simple if you look at it in that way. 

Opening the root chakra directly to the earth, like a big tree, and drawing the energy up and allowing yourself to realize that the energy is to fulfill the instinct and the innate knowing of what is needed when it is needed, what is felt when it is felt, what is desired when it is desired, and that is tempered by consciousness and the light of intelligence that brings all of these things into a way of living or creating it. Perhaps every desire is not acted upon, but it is acknowledged, and it is brought into the whole of self and it is then decided about how to work with this desire in a way that is fulfilling its innate aspect while also fulfilling what fits into your life. 

I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONCEIVE A CHILD EVEN THOUGH THEY VERY MUCH DESIRED TO HAVE A BABY. THEN THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO FIND THEMSELVES PREGNANT AT THE MOST UNEXPECTED TIMES. WHY ARE SOME WOMEN UNABLE TO CONCEIVE CHILDREN EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A GREAT DESIRE TO DO SO?

There are many reasons, and usually they are quite deep in consciousness. It is not always just in the woman, but can also be combined with the man. Often there is some past life or loss of children where the grief has been lodged in the uterus. Or there has been something from this life where there have been different kinds of compromises within the consciousness that has been lodged in the ovaries or uterus, so that the uterus is not open to growing life. There can be grief, or unresolved mothering of a parent before there was an opportunity to be a child. Also, if any kind of abuse issues become lodged and not be resolved, then that can close the uterus for growth of life.

In your body, in opening to growing life, there is perhaps a challenge for you in opening to your own creative nature and realizing that you can utilize your own energy to create life in many ways, not only in creating children. Sometimes the suppression of creative energy will result of a birth of some kind, and often times the only avenue is a child. There are also levels of soul agreement as well. 

So there are many factors, and we are not able to say there is only one. You asked us a rather general question and we are answering in that way. 

I WOULD WELCOME ANY INFORMATION ON MONEY AND FINANCES. I KNOW THAT I AM SUPPOSED TO LOOK TO MOTHER/FATHER GOD AS THE SOURCE OF MY SUPPLY, YET I CONSTANTLY FEEL LIKE I AM HAVING TO STRETCH TO MAKE THE MONEY GO ALL THE PLACES IT NEEDS TO GO. I ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT THINGS WILL GET BETTER FOR MY FAMILY FINANCIALLY, BUT SO FAR WE HAVE NOT REACHED A PLACE WHERE I FEEL THAT EVERYTHING IS IN BALANCE AND EVERYONE'S NEEDS ARE GETTING MET IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY. DO I JUST NEED TO BE MORE PATIENT, OR DO I NEED TO MAKE SOME DIFFERENT CHOICES IN MY LIFE?

The question comes from a vision that everyone is in lack and everyone’s needs are not being met. What if you changed your image of seeing? Rather than externalizing consciousness, which is what you are doing, begin to choose to use your focus and your attention to affirm, to imagine, to visualize, to realize that everyone’s needs are more than adequately and abundantly met. For example, when you look at your children, see them as wise, infinitely powerful beings that are also drawing to themselves everything that they need and all their needs are met. The more you affirm this, the more it happens, because the more you affirm what you know to be true is what you realize. 

You can teach your children this, too, rather than seeing that what they want or need is only dependent on you or only dependent on an external source. They can begin to imagine and know that they are at the center of their experience and they have everything they need coming to them, and they can imagine what it feels like to be abundantly supported and blessed. 

That is something to consider, because the question itself indicates where you come from. To shift where you come from shifts what you experience. 

WHY DO WHALES BEACH THEMSELVES?

There is so much electromagnetic interference, particularly the more the military has been using different sonar and sonic kinds of devices. It causes confusion in the sonar waves of the whales, and if they are in a region where there is testing or communications in that way, they can be scrambled and be lost and do what they would not ordinarily do, which would be to come on to land and die. 

It is a result of another level of that confusion, interference, and lack of sensitivity on the part of the humans to know how they are in relationship and how their actions affect others in creation as well. 

IT SEEMS THAT DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS MY LIFE HAS TURNED INTO COMPLETE CHAOS. IT NEVER SEEMS TO END.LAST NOVEMBER, MY 27 YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT WAS TERMINATED UNEXPECTEDLY. WHAT FOLLOWED WAS A LENGTHY BATTLE TO RECEIVE SEVERANCE PAY AND THE RESPECT I DESERVE. IN DECEMBER, MY HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED IN A MAJOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. THIS RESULTED IN HIS HAVING SURGERY AND HE IS NOW RECURPERATING FOR THREE MONTHS. THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS NOW TRYING TO NOT PAY HIS BILLS. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANOTHER JOB, AND THINGS ARE PRETTY DEPRESSING RIGHT NOW. ALL I SEE IS BLACKNESS. FROM WHERE DO I SEEK GUIDANCE AND THE LIGHT?

You are going through a sort of initiation or massive transformation and shifting, and it looks dark at this point. We would ask you to go even deeper into your soul self, into the knowing of who you are, and to ask for the awareness and the knowing that the truth of who you are and the truth of your nature knows how to create a life that is much more fulfilling, much more embracing of who you are, acknowledging of your potentials and inviting you to be more and more actively creating and bringing those forward. 

Know that who you are in that 27 year relationship was not ever honored or acknowledged. You compromised to a great deal, and in a sense you are to choose life in all that that means for you and your husband as well. 

Begin to use the power that you have within you to choose life, to choose the truth of who you are, and begin to listen to what is coming from within you and act upon it in any little way that you can. Begin there, in the moment, with a little feeling, desire, or need. Move the energy from this place, healing those places that have been compromised for so long that they have grown dark and contracted. Invite them to open again. If you know someone who does energy work, it would help you just to open and release energy, balance the chakras some what, and would be helpful to both you and your husband at this time. 

I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO FIND OUT THE CAUSAL REASONS FOR MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY FOR A YOUNG MAN. HE HAS BEEN TO MANY HEALERS AND DOCTORS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO GIVE HIM AN EXPLANATION. IS IT KARMIC?

This particular disease has an origin in another time, and also in a certain birth patterning for this life, a pre-birth patterning during the pregnancy in this life. The young man has a sort of quest in his heart for wholeness. The more he visualizes that whole body, the more he visualizes what it would feel like to be whole, alive, coordinated, and able to move and function, he then assists his own body to unwrap itself from the etheric template that he carried in that had a certain woundedness that his body formed around. He is healing his etheric and soul-level wounds through his process in this life. It is his quest, his power to choose that healing and wholeness, and to choose that on all levels, the physical being the manifestation of what the etheric and soul level carried. As those levels heal, then the physical can also to heal to a greater degree.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT IN CERTAIN ENERGY CENTERS THERE ARE ASPECTS OR MAYBE JUST OVERLAPPING ENERGY CENTERS THAT HAVE THE QUALITY OF CONTROL MANIPULATION OR POWER, OR A COMBINATION OF THEM. WHAT'S THE DIVINE PURPOSE OF THESE? PARTICULARLY THE THIRD EYE AND SOLAR PLEXUS? IT SEEMS THAT THEY HAVE THE PURPOSE TO INFLUENCE OTHERS AND THAT'S IT.

Those would still be distortions that are within the chakra system or the consciousness. They are not true layers or levels of truth, they are part of the distortions that have been taken on. The purpose of the third eye and the solar plexus is not meant to influence. The purpose of the third eye is to receive information, to be receptive. The activity of the third chakra is to put into action, not to influence, but to transform and make things different. To change your life and to say “I will do this, I will do that”, “this fits for me, this does not”, “this is what I’m inspired by, I communicate this to others and if they choose to be inspired as well, that is their choice”. 

Influence is only by agreement and not by force, domination, or control. Those are false and are part of the matrix that needs to be eliminated and needs to be evolved beyond where it has been.

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY HUSBAND. AFTER 17 YEARS OF A VERY DEEP AND INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP ON MANY LEVELS, WE ARE NOW EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. OFTEN WE FEEL AS IF WE ARE COMPLETE STRANGERS AND UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE MEANINGFULLY. AT OTHER TIMES ALL IS WELL AND I WONDER IF I IMAGINED THAT WE HAVE A PROBLEM. COULD YOU SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS?

When you begin to open up to a level of your own essence and soul you begin to want to communicate from this place, and you want to engage others at this level. So you are moving toward desiring to connect at a more intimate, soul-level connection, not just on the physical, psychological, and emotional levels. Your husband needs to also open to these levels so that you can communicate and it can go back and forth. If he choose to do that, then there is a sense of meeting there. The more you see him as he truly is and the more you can also know who you are, then the more that level can connect as you support that opening up in him. He is not, perhaps, as familiar with some of things as you are, but that doesn’t matter, for who the soul within each person is lives as their most core essence and is always present, so you can always connect to that level even if they can’t talk from that level back to you. We would invite you to acknowledge and connect to that level within your husband as well as within yourself, and to see if that opens some doors.

WE SEEM TO BE UNABLE TO SOLVE OUR FINANCIAL PROBLEMS. WE HAVE TRIED VARIOUS APPROACHES. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS DUE TO SATURN BEING IN MY HUSBAND'S SIGN UNTIL FEBRUARY, 1999. WHAT ARE WE DOING WRONG, IF ANYTHING? MY HUSBAND WAS IMPELLED TO BUY A HOUSE WE COULD NOT AFFORD BY AN "ANGELIC MESSAGE". IN SPITE OF ALL ODDS WE SUCCEEDED IN BUYING IT AND NOW WE STAND TO LOSE IT. PLEASE EXPLAIN.

The challenge in the money area has been so for many people. Part of this is the connection with the earth and the need to make it more tangible, realizing that the earth is your support and your life force, and healing the root and second chakra. Another aspect is realizing that the power of money has been externalized rather than standing in the center and realizing the power that you have to create all that you need. Visualize, know that it is true, know that it is present, and absolutely do not doubt it. By giving power to the lack that you perceive externally, you externalize your own power and consciousness, and have no power in that place. (This is also focused on in the monthly message 6-11-98).
