Question: Dear Lord Maitreya, Thanks for your reply to my question on astrology. If ones lesson is not to take abuse from others can you advise on ways to avoid abuse besides blessing the abuser? Daryl - Australia
Answer: Daryl. If one gives no energy to anything, then it cannot go anywhere. Humanity is where it is today with war and strife because it keeps providing the energy which fuels this. When Humanity stops doing this and gives no energy, Humanity will change. When one is angry at someone and directs that anger, it then creates a response which then creates a response which then creates a response, and so on and so on. It is not only in one lifetime either, but many, it keeps on going, life after life. When one says "so what, what a waste of energy". The situation becomes stalemate. It is so simple yet Humanity cannot see it. It is the answer to everything.Maitreya.

Question: Dear Margaret and dear Lord Maitreya, I love reading all your answers at this site. I understand that everything is speeding up, more and more people are waking up spiritually, and the dark forces are very active now, even time is speeding up, now this leads to my question, are we able to do the same amount of work in one hour as we did before, or have we really lost some time? I really feel that time is flying, but is that also an illusion?
Are there many people who made the first ascension that have come back? Are we going to see them stir things up a little, I read somewhere that they were going to do that?
How can I experience life on this planet in one way , and my husband in another way (given that we are at two different levels of spirituality?
I love your work. Thank you for considering my questions!
In love and light Lene, Norway
Answer: Lene, No, you cannot do the same amount of work as before. This is why people are becoming frustrated. There are just not enough hours in the day. As for your second question this is not relevant, they will not come back. As for you and your husband experiencing life on this planet when you are two levels of spirituality, this is easily arranged. Both of you do your own thing and respect the level of spirituality that you both have. Give it no energy and it will not become a problem.Maitreya.

Question: Dear Lord Maitreya: I once read, perhaps it might have been Edgar Cayce material a while ago, that in the horoscope if one had Aquarius or Pisces rising that this indicated that this native had lived an Atlantian life back in time. Is this true? Another question which I don't know if you'll answer, but would be very interesting to know about: How many lives has Margaret Birkin lived on the earth plane? Her Blavatsky life was interesting. Thanks for all previous answers. I know you are busy.
In love & light, TaraAnswer: Tara. Having a Pisces or Aquarian rising does not always indicate an Atlantian past life.

Question: 1. I have often wondered what I must do to find a sense of purpose so that I can fittingly serve the changes that must come to the world. How best can I serve ?? to make a better world a reality?
2. Can I invite the Lord Maitreya to speak in Edinburgh so that we may spread the word? - I have a venue.
Answer: Andrew, Your question is of a personal nature and if I answer it I will be accused by others of not keeping to my tangent of only answering global questions. For all those who wish to serve, the Universe will find a place for you, just inform Spirit that you are ready. As for Edinburgh, it is hoped that I will be able to one day visit but the time is not right yet.Maitreya.

Question: Is it simply a matter of perception that separation exists or is it the nature of the Earth existence? For example light and dark energies, day and night, male and female etc. all two sides of the same coin so to speak.
Does good and bad have to coexist to maintain harmony/balance of forces or is it really possible to be neutral, peaceful and loving as a people of the world so that the children don't ever have to suffer?
Answer: Renie. There is no necessity for evil or for darkness. Humanity creates these forces. That is all I have to comment on the matter.Maitreya.
20th Oct 99
Question: I have read that the last thoughts one has, before dying, is important as to where they go after death, and a plus if you think of God at that time. It is difficult for me to think your thoughts can outweigh your life, as to what you experience and gravitate to. Would you speak about this please?
Answer: Wynema. If one has fear when one is dying, then that fear can impede the passing. If one is in a state of awareness, and aware of the dying state it can help the passing greatly. It is not important to think of God, rather to be in a state of no fear or apprehension. There are not many souls who can be in this state.Maitreya.

Question: Dear Lord Maitreya, much has been said regarding the photon belt. What is the latest on its progress? Will "artificial" objects start to disappear as we get closer to 2012...and will humanity move "on mass" to the 5th dimension at a given point or will we move individually at given times? Thank you with much love, Philip - Australia
Answer: Philip, The purpose of the Photon Belt energy is to move humanity into the next dimension. This will happen slowly. If it did not, the Earth plane would suffer greatly from the stress of the action. Already time as you know it is speeding up, and it will continue to do so. All is happening as it should, that is all that matters.

Question: In volume#17 you emphasize the importance of knowing your past lives. But earlier this year on a seminar with Bjørn Mosebye who claim to be channeling your energy, he stated that there are no need to search through past lives, since all you need to know is present in every now. Well do you or don't you?
Answer: Nina, It is most important to know about past lives. Spiritual development or raising ones vibration is to do with clearing away the soul memories that are blocking you attaining nirvana or a higher consciousness. Without this information you cannot move forward. It can be found in astrology. Many souls do not have to experience past life regression, others choose to do so. It is a personal choice and always should be.

Question: Dear Master Lord Maitreya, How do I differentiate between when I am using intention/positive energy to overcome a negative situation and when I am in denial about something someone is doing I am uncomfortable about and I am allowing myself to become a victim? If the negative energy/transgression is ignored and I focus on "positive energy" (or white light /violet flame /God....), then is it impossible to ultimately become a victim? What if anger is coming up? It is hard to know sometimes how to deal with these things of human life which I know are illusions of this world, but feel very real, while trying to become a more spiritual person.
Answer: Rebecca. The secret of this is to give nothing any energy. Neither positive or negative. Not to react or allow another to influence ones energy. If anger arises, then also, give it no energy, just allow it to be, to dissipate. If you find this hard to do, and some souls do, then express it either in the written form, but destroy this once you have expressed it. As for being in denial, your higher self will know whether you are in denial or not. If you give nothing any energy, then it becomes so clear to see what one needs to be seen. Denial is a part of not wanting to see. When one is aware, then what one needs to see will be shown and the soul will see and know what is given by spirit. The only power another soul has over you, is the power that you give it. You allow yourself to become the victim. Emotions do this, as well as old conditioning from incarnation to incarnation without being changed. The purpose of spiritual development is ultimately to leave the emotional body behind and have no reaction/action. This takes Earth time and continued practice but eventually one becomes the Master of energy and of the emotional body.

Question(s) Dear Lord Maitreya, I have been thinking about souls that die young and have difficulty accepting that, maybe won't accept any help. Is there a soul that can not be helped? A lost soul does that exist? With love and light Guðmundur Fannar
Answer(s): Gudmunder, There is not a soul that cannot be helped, however there are souls who do not wish to pass on. The Catholics call this state of being 'purgatory'. It is a space, a void where time stands still, in a figurative way, not in the Earth clock sense. There are souls from spirit who visit these regions and help these souls to pass over.Maitreya

Question(s): Question - Dear Lord Maitreya: Thank you for answering on higher self; I realize it could get too lengthy to go into any more detail here. I hope you don't mind if I ask this: Is everyone ruled by astrology? (I know someone who was told she wasn't ruled by astrology, but by something "closer to the Source," which was never really explained to her by "Special Human Being Lab" in the US.)
Answer(s): Tara. From the moment you are born on the Earth plane you are in sync with the planets. Every soul is influenced by their energies. One cannot have an incarnation on the Earth plane and not be affected by them. You chose these influences also.

Question(s): Question - Dear Lord Maitreya, given that the influence of the photon belt is increasing all the time...will people gradually enter the 4th dimension. or will there be an actual moment when we will change into light bodies "on mass" so to speak ? Also....are we going to be in the photon belt for 2000yrs...or will that be circumvented... Thank you with much love Philip
Answer(s): Phil. Humanity will gradually enter the next dimension, actually, they will move to the 5th eventually. The Photon Belt energy is designed to move humanity into the next stage. It is doing that, and once it has done that (12 years of Earth time) it will then move on. The influence though will still be felt.

Question(s): Question - I have been practicing Reiki Healing for over a year now. Could you please tell me what is the nature of this healing energy, where does it come from and has it been known to mankind for many millennia or just since Dr. Usui discovered it. Also as an Architect I am beginning to question the relationship between space and human well being - whether specific spaces combined with color, sound and aroma can be used for healing. I have a vision of a spherical room with a glass floor suspended about one third up, with a sort of floating shelf for the patient to lie on during treatment, and a device which can change the color of the room intensified through a quartz crystal. Please tell me if this is all a figment of my imagination, or if there is some worth in what I am envisaging. It seem to be connected in some way with what I have read of Edgar Cayce to whom I feel a close affinity. I hope you will have time to answer my questions. I am thinking of starting a "Business" called "Healing Spaces" which would design and research the effect of color and space on human health and psyche, but don't know how to move forward. Thank you, in love and light Peter
Answer(s): Peter. The energy known as Reiki is Universal energy divined from the God Force. Those who channel it can use it as a healing tool. There are many names that have been given to this energy, spiritual, Reiki to name but two. Dr. Usui was not the only one who has discovered it. Many others have also and they have put their interpretation of the energy out there too. As for your second questions, the answer is yes. Humanity has not yet realized the importance of color and space. Feng Shui gets close to it, but the significance of it is not yet known in general. Your vision is not a figment of your imagination. You have had a previous incarnation where you worked with color, sound and space. Your soul memory has all this information stored in it. I cannot advise you about the business you ask about as this is a personal question. Why not trust that the Universe will bring it into your energy if you put the intent out there and let the Universe know what you need. I know it will manifest.

Question(s): Question - Why do men and women choose to come into this world as homosexual men and lesbian women? I know there must be as many answers to this question as there are gay men and women, but, generally, what reason would apply to the majority for choosing a lifestyle that is condemned by many, including mainstream religion? Will a time ever come when society and religion will accept them, and not scorn them?
Answer(s): Bob. They choose to do so because it is the way they learn. It is THEIR choice and they are not co-erced into doing it by anyone. It is not an easy life being this way. I have given it the name Free because my channel did not like the word 'gay'. For those who chose to do this, they pass many tests and experience much in the emotional body. This is why they choose to be this way. Yes, a time will come when society in general will accept them. They are souls like everyone else and they often have a great belief in God or the Creator or Supreme Being whatever you may call this energy. Religion is changing too, and yes, one day they will be accepted also by those of faith. When humanity learns to accept them and love them and understand them, then the free community will become a more settled, spiritual, community. The Aids Virus came to bring this phenomena of free people to the forefront to help them 'come out' so to speak.

Question(s): Question - Dear Lord Maitreya: You answered briefly that higher self contact was important between two people for soul growth. Thank you. WHY is it important, what does it accomplish for soul growth? Would you like to add anything to "Yes, it is?"
Answer(s): Tara. When two souls are in contact and the Higher Self part of them is there, incredible enlightenment can occur. Each soul becomes a mirror for the other and because the Higher Self is there in both souls, what is mirrored is not taken personally. The Self always takes things personally. That is why it is important. There is much more teaching on this subject, in fact a whole day of teaching that is why it is not easy to answer your question is such a short space.

Question(s): Question - Dear Lord Maitreya, Do the inhabitants of the astral world, easily receive 'directed' messages and thoughts from the physical world? is this information precisely transferred from human style communication to the telepathic method ? And Why do I miss my friends in spirit so much?. when it has been said that our friends in spirit are 'closer to us than when they were 'earthbound' . Thank you with much love
Answer(s): Philip. Yes, the inhabitants of the Astral world, easily receive directed messages and thoughts from the physical world. As you think it, so is it received. You miss your friends in spirit because you cannot communicate with them. As you raise your vibration, you will be able to do this. The world of spirit is only in the next dimension. The more sensitive you become, the more you raise your vibration, the more you will be able to communicate.

Question(s): Question - Hi. I recently read one of your latest channeling's, entitled Depression. This message was very helpful to me. Thank you. In the article you basically instructed us, if I understood correctly, to allow yourselves to feel in order to cleanse away past hurts, pains, etc. However, there is currently a lot of discussion on "...living in the present moment..." I used to feel sad, cry and then feel better later. Now, I try to stay in the present moment by pushing away a sad or painful memory that induces depression. Perhaps I do not understand the concept of living in the present moment? So, would you please comment on how we can feel our pains, etc and still live in the present moment, if it is possible? Thank you.
Answer(s): By living in the NOW, one does not worry about the future, or live in the past. When one lives in the NOW, one gives the body permission to release a lot of suppressed emotion. This is often known as depression. When it comes to the surface, one should let it go. If one is not trying to avoid it, which one would do if one were not in the NOW, then it will come to the surface to be cleansed away. When one is not living in the NOW, then one is concerned over so many things past and future. If one is in the NOW, then all one concerns oneself with is the NOW. One can plan for the future, but then let the future happen, instead of MAKING it happen. It is not easy to explain, it is far better demonstrated. Most souls have depression and do not know they have it. Only by being still and living in the NOW with no concerns for anything but that moment of time, can one allow all that is buried deep within to come to the surface. As one does this, layer upon layer can be released because there is nothing stopping it. The soul is simply living in the moment. It has total faith that all its needs will be provided. It has no fear, doubt, insecurity, it is one with the divine. Free of worry and concern it can release all that is buried within, often from many previous incarnations. As one cleanses away the deeply buried emotions and feelings, then one becomes more intuitive and sensitive to the world of spirit and its energy.

Question(s): Question - Honorable one, who is known by the name of Maitreya! I apologize for the frustrated undertone of my questions that tumble in my thoughts. I have been slow to learn but am frustrated more by the lack of consistent nature in explanations of God, Christ, & Hierarchy from teachings of Theosophy to the esoteric from Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism. The common ground is vague (perhaps so to is my question). In my few spiritual experiences, and of those of others I have read, much of them seem influenced by the person experiencing the event. As if there are individual, religious, spiritual, social characteristics influencing the results as like light being seen through filters hiding the lights original fullness and complete nature. I don't mind the journey being long. But the vagueness of the path, it's width, the one, or the numbers of ways to. Enlightenment, freedom, or Christ consciousness is getting frustrating. If I lighten up, relax, and let my intuition seek the way to the answers why is there so much put on structure of mind thought and meditation.
Which leads to more annoyance. Meditation, the practices seem to share also no common trait (i.e.: contemplation on subjective view, lack of thought, sound, stillness, starving the breath). Mind concentration is important in astral, and likely more so in higher levels. There is a great push or encouragement from the Brotherhood to focus ones entire life for the betterment of mankind. Yet some ashrams have encouraged a more solitude approach for self-development, limiting contact with societies. Where and what are the fruits I am to observe that Jesus talked of that is to help me to see which teaching is true. There are many warnings of the blind leading the blind. My sight does not share with me the Auric nature of the teacher. Some teach, "You need only look within" others say that education is not enough, that many have gone astray and one simply passing on into the astral and much latter to the mental plane is not a correction to truth. That many will lead others along their path that does not lead to freedom of our karmic cycles. I believe that Madam Blavatsky once stated: " There is no greater religion than truth ". But truth evades me. I am grateful for many of the perspectives that were given in my search for truth that is helping me to face off even the smallest negative thoughts that pass my mind. I have yet to achieve the thinking out of every action before I partake in it, but I can tell that I am getting myself to move to that point. Of this level I am being satisfied in my quest. But my heart seeks the true Christ that can lead me to God's intent, and removes my filters of self-interpretation.
Many offer initiations, and here is my biggest grumbling. "Let those who have ears, who wish to hear, hear." Now days these initiations come for the tune of several hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. I find it hard to get or keep a job while I need to care for my mother around the clock. I neither have the money, or the travel time to spend reaching this monetary and location requirement. We are after all suppose to loose all attachment of desires and of things in this world. Initiations use to be free on the riverbank of the Jordan. My prayers and dreams have not shared a cognitive experience of answering many of these questions. "When the student is ready the master will appear" yet even the choice of a master can become a test in itself.Shall one or I satisfy themselves with the perspective for now, "Well, it aint here so I must not be ready"?
Answer(s): Randy. Your question is long in its direction. I will try to answer it the best I can.
For many earth years, there have been many different versions and opinions about the spiritual. Many prophets have been and gone, and much has been written on the subject matter. When you ask about the fruits, as Jesus mentioned, how do you know he said this? You do not know because nobody can verify it. However if he did say it, then only HE can know why he said it and what the 'fruits' are. You can say to me, "but you are just another prophet" and I would agree with you. I use a channel to get my message across to the public. I created this web site to do just that. You mention money, and I have spoken much on this in previous answers on this site, and I will reiterate again. "A laborer is worthy of his hire". If you needed your house painting, or your ceiling repaired, unless you could do it yourself, you would call in a tradesman. That tradesman charges for his service. He has trained for his work over many years and earned an apprentice wage for that apprenticeship. When he has come to you he is qualified in his job. It is no different with a spiritual teacher. One who has the energy to transform and teach on a higher level. You have no idea of the work involved, it is just not the teaching, it is all the other work, travel, and emotional clearing, which is a part of the work. Most Prophets in the past of Earth time have been supported by their followers in either ashrams or in-group houses. There are some that are not supported; they 'earn' their income for their work from their own labor. They do not have support. You mention also losing all attachment to 'desires' of the Earth plane. Those who are truly working for spirit have nothing. My channel and her husband are such people. They and others have supported this web site since its inception; there is now one other soul helping to support the site. All of the money they earn goes back into their work. Were you to check their bank accounts you would find no money. The money they earn for their courses and for the readings helps pay the accounts for their work. They have done this for 7 Earth Years. The money they earned has enabled them to travel to the USA to spread my words. They have not stayed in luxury hotels nor have they traveled any different from the majority of people who travel on planes today.
In answer to your statement about the many ways of the spiritual and the different ways, each soul who has a way has chosen THEIR way to express it. For some they require Theosophy, and so that is provided, some require Christianity, others Sai Baba, others my teaching. There is a teaching for each soul. Remember though that they are also subject to interpretation, it is how the words communicated by spirit are interpreted which is also important. Do the words written speak to your soul? Do they dictate to you? You ask about Truth, each soul has its own truth, yet it is the belief of the Masters that all can live in their own truth, and yet live in harmony and in peace. Humanity just has to learn how to do so. You yourself have your own truth; it is not the truth of anyone else. Each soul has to find their own way to become spiritual. Each soul if they ask, and if they earnestly desire it and have the patience to be directed by we in spirit, will be guided to where they need to go. Have you ever thought to inform the Creator, Divine Spirit, Ultimate being, or whatever you refer to as God, that you are limited by the circumstances you are in, and could they help find a teacher who will help you. There is always an answer, but often it is not seen because one does not see it. Why not place the issue in the hands of the Universe and wait and see what happens. The Universe/God/Creator, Ultimate Being will respond.Maitreya
