There was a time in this world when everyone seemed to have the appearance of getting along with each other.  At least that was the appearance, when in reality, there was never a time in the physical world where there was only love without hatred, fighting, wars, arguing, and discontent.  That time has never been, and realistically never will be.  However, we feel that by raising the level of consciousness in the physical world, that we could in fact have a time when there is no fighting, wars, or discontent.  A time like in the land of Zuppa which we have spoken about in our past sessions.  In this time there is only love, and joy, among the people who inhabit the physical universe.

We feel that the people who listen and read about these teachings need to understand that the answers lie within their inner self.  That they need to develop the skills it takes to communicate with that inner self, and that is the intent of what we are trying to convey in our messages.

The underlying message is that once you are harmonious with your inner self, you can do wonderful and great things.  You can attract the things, events and people who you want into your life.  You can dress the body that pleases you.  You can think with the great philosophers, if that is what pleases you.  You can be the great athlete that you desire, if that pleases you.  You can be and do whatever it is that you want, so long as it is in harmony with your inner self, and that it is ultimately for your greater good.  If it is for your greater good, then it will be by default  since we are all interconnected, in both the physical and non-physical worlds – for all of our greater goods.

That is the meaning of these teachings, and that is the ultimate point that we are trying to get across.   Learn how to get in touch with your inner self.  How, you might ask?

Through some of the ways we have talked about, such as listening to your emotions, or your emotional radar.  Listening to your inner guidance system to hear what your inner self is trying to tell you.  Meditating, and sitting quiet with yourself to clear the daily clutter and street noises from your conscious mind.  Clearing your mind allows for a direct line of communication with your inner source to open up, so that you might understand what it is that you want, need, and are here to do.

The more people who begin to do these things, the easier it will be for others.  They begin to wonder, if they can do it. YES they can.   They begin to wonder about the things and beliefs that they have grown up with, and have ingrained into their minds for a lifetime.  They begin to question the absurdity of thinking that communication with non-physical entities they once thought, to now maybe opening the door just a little bit, in the possibilities that just maybe, it could happen.

Look at what that does.  It gets people to begin to see the things that are part of a much bigger picture.   Do you think that if we know and truly believe we are all connected, that we would harm another living being?  No, or course not.

So, it is our intent to help teach people how to make this connection with their inner self,  spreading one person at a time.  Because that is how to reach the entire universe of living entities, by starting with one person, and they spread that knowledge to others, who begin to develop their own skills, and they tell another, etc.

We cannot stress enough, however, that this is not a religion.  This is not for people to give up their own power and energy to.  This is a tool much like learning to read and write and perform arithmetic.  We are only teaching the basics on what is possible and the laws of the universe, much like an elementary teacher teaches reading, writing and arithmetic.

Story: The Girl and the Kitten

This is the story of a young girl and her kitten.  She was walking by a pet store one day, while holding her mother’s hand, when she saw a kitten playing with a ball of yarn in the window.  The girl stopped instantly and looked into the window at the kitten.  Her mother stopped as well and they both enjoyed the moment, of watching the playful kitten with seemingly no worries in the world;  much like the young girl.

The mother then told the girl, “let’s go, we need to get to the next store.”  the little girl replied, “mommy, I won’t ever ask for anything again, if I can have this kitten.”  The mother, said, “no we can’t have a kitten, we have a dog, and they would never get along.”

“Yes they would mommy, I just know they would, ” said the girl.  The mother, once again, said, no and the two continued walking down the street as the little girl kept looking behind her, in a way that told the kitten good-bye, but she would be back.

Later that evening, the little girl once again asked for the kitten only this time both her mom and dad were there to hear the request.  “Of course, not” said the dad.  We have enough with Duke and do you remember what you said when we got Duke?  You said that you would clean up after him and feed him every day.  Well today on my way out to pick up the paper, I stepped in the thing you were supposed to have cleaned up.  The last thing we need is another animal.”

“He’s right honey, ” said the mom, “we really don’t need another animal.”

With that, the girl put on a long face, and quietly finished her meal and went to her room to think.  She laid on her bed, with Duke at her feet and then she asked Duke what she should do.

Duke didn’t say anything, but she felt that she could understand Duke.  He wanted to have another friend to play with while everyone was gone during the day.  “The days get long while you are at school and everyone else is at work.  I sure could use some company”, said Duke.  The girl could not hear anything, but Duke was looking at her intently and she knew that what she was thinking was coming from Duke.

“Well how will I get Mom and Dad to get me the kitten?” she asked.  “You can ask them a different way.” said Duke.  “How should I do that?”  “Ask them when they are in a real good mood.”

Several days went by and the girl waited patiently to see when her parents were in a good mood.  It seemed as though they were both never in a good mood.  Her Dad was always complaining about something at work, and usually went into the den at night to continue the work that he didn’t get done during the day.  Her Mom was always trying to listen to her Dad and help explain how he should get out of his job.

It seemed as though there was never any time for her to talk, let alone a good time to ask for the kitten.

Every day, on her way home from school, the little girl would stop at the pet store, and tell the owner that someday she would be buying that kitten.  Then on her way out, she would stop by the kitten’s cage and tell her the same thing, “I will be back to adopt you.  I promise.”

She talked to Duke it seemed, more than her parents, when Duke gave her another idea.  He told her to always make her bed, clean her room, do the dishes, and help clean up around the house, to prove to her parents that she is responsible.

One day, it was time for her parents to come to school for conferences.  The teacher told her parents how good of a student she was and how much she enjoyed writing and drawing pictures.   The parents noticed that every picture included her Dad, her Mom, herself, Duke and a little kitten.   It also seemed that most of her daily journal entries ended with, “I want that kitten so that Duke will not be lonely during the day.”

Some of the journal entries talked about how she talked to Duke and sometimes he listened better than her parents.

That night at the dinner table, both parents started to ask Katie about her day.  So what did you do in school  today?”  “How is Duke doing?”  Katie could not believe that she was given a chance to talk and found that she really enjoyed it.

One day on her way home from school she made her usual stop at the pet store, when she noticed that the kitten, Betsy, for she had already named her, was not in her cage.  Worried, she asked the owner where Betsy is.  The owner sadly responded, “Someone came in here today and bought her.  I assure you she went to a good home, and when you’re ready we’ll have another kitten you can choose.”  “But I wanted Betsy” said the girl.  As she rushed out of the pet store.  “I promised her I would adopt her.”

The store keeper responded, “it’s okay, she didn’t understand you.”

Katie ran all the way home and went directly up to her room, with Duke following close behind.  When her mom and dad got home a few minutes later they called for her, but she didn’t feel like responding.

Then they came into her room carrying Betsy.  “You bought her!  Thank you, I love you both so much”.

“We knew how much you wanted her, and what’s one more animal.  And besides, we thought Duke could use the company during the day.”

Katie made a special place for Betsy next to Duke on her bed.  The three of them became quick friends.

Ω

You might ask, why we told this particular story.  The answer is because we need to illustrate our point that we are raising the consciousness of the universe which includes all living energies; animals, plants, people, and everything that is alive.  The kitten and the dog were connected to the child as well as the child was connected to her own parents.  In some cases, more so.  The parents realized that they were so caught up in their own lives, and their only child was talking to her dog more than she was talking to her own parents.  They realized that they were letting her childhood slip through their fingers in their harsh, stern, rules regarding another animal in the house.

Sure the animals might make a mess, or do something that is destructive in the house.  But, in the big picture, they are here in the physical just like we are, to raise their own consciousness.  They are connected to us, as we are to them.

The girl figured that out early in her lifetime, as many of us do.  But then as we grow older we sometimes forget those things, and need a child to remind us.

It sometimes takes a child to uncover the good in all people, animals and living organisms.  And for us to realize that we should respect and love every living thing that we are connected to – and that we are connected to every living thing.
