Message from Matthew

 

February 18, 2016

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. We begin by addressing issues foremost in thoughts around the world. North Korea’s recent successes in rocketry were not unexpected by analysts who have been observing activity in that country; nevertheless, this is of concern because Kim Jong-un is considered unstable, egoistic and ambitious. What none of them knows is that if North Korean scientists attempted to launch a missile bearing a nuclear warhead, crews in spacecraft surrounding Earth will assure its failure just as they have done with more than a dozen Illuminati attempts during the past several years.

Our perspective of “Putin’s aggression in Eastern Europe” is that this is an Illuminati-promulgated implication that he will forcibly bring Baltic countries and others under Russia’s governmental and economic control. That is not his intention, and as a reminder, the Illuminati feed on the energy of fear and resort to any means to engender fear.

With talk of a ceasefire, albeit temporary, it is natural that violence has escalated in Syria, where energy long has been chaotically directed; and, with several diverse contingents at battle in that country and nearby countries, a lasting ceasefire will not come until those energy streamers have run out their course. While Russia is criticized for its air strikes that aid the Assad regime as well as help ground forces regain areas taken over by the Islamic State, President Putin and other influential individuals are working behind the scenes to bring stability throughout the Mideast and North Africa.  

  

Understandably, there is concern about people in war-torn areas continuing to undertake risky transits into countries that are not able to provide adequate housing, schooling, work or healthcare to the millions of refugees  already there. In time, violence will end in the villages and cities from which the people fled and those who wish to return can start rebuilding their communities and lives. In the interim, compassion and good will on the part of the host citizenry and the immigrants’ contribution of talents, skills and assimilation efforts can result in compatibility and mutual benefit. In this moment and into the future, financial assistance from all prospering nations is necessary to ease, then end this humanitarian crisis.

According to Nirvana’s monitors of Earth, investigative scientists know that a toxic chemical is causing the many cases of microcephaly associated with the Zika virus, but they don’t know if the source is bites from Aedes mosquitos that were injected with the chemical or bites from those that mutated by absorbing the very toxin used to eradicate them, or if the condition is due to pregnant women drinking water containing the chemical. Thus, to readers who asked if the Illuminati are behind this spreading outbreak of Zika and microcephaly, we say yes, but it may be indirectly as opposed to their concerted but futile efforts to create pandemics by releasing laboratory-designed viruses such as SARS and bird flu. 

They deliberately put toxins in chemtrail spray, and others are in industrial pollution, fossil fuel energy usage, soil and underground water contaminated by nuclear waste or chemicals in fertilizer and insecticides. That this proliferation of toxicity is adversely affecting the planet and all of its life forms has been shamefully disregarded by chemical manufacturers abetted by powerful individuals in governments. And, the Illuminati’s amassing of wealth globally contributes in large measure to masses living in the impoverished conditions wherein disease-bearing mosquitos thrive. 

No, karma is not involved in all cases of fleeing peoples or babies born with microcephaly and their families. Soul-level petitions are being granted in unprecedented numbers to permit advancement in evolvement status for enduring unchosen experiencing. Still, this honoring of soul requests isn’t consciously known by those persons or the world, and their situations are seen as the grievous hardships they are on the physical level.

The reader who wrote that astrological readers and intuitives have predicted “the rest of this month and March will be extremely delicate on this planet” asked “in what areas will things be ‘delicate’ and challenging?” Certainly the aforementioned situations are delicate and fraught with challenges to the many millions directly affected and unnerving to all of society. Calmness about stock market volatility and reports of banks closing would be a challenge for investors, and confusion as to what is ahead economically very likely is worrisome to many others, too. In numerous countries candidates are vying for office and the citizens are anxious about election outcomes. Then there are predictions anew about catastrophic earthquakes and tsunamis as well as World War III imminent, starting in the Mideast. And, in the midst of all those energy streamers with tumultuous attachments, even lightworkers may find it challenging to consistently maintain optimism about Earth’s future. That said, when planetary alignment is more conducive to unsettlement than during periods of less interaction, individuals with negative attitudes and pessimistic outlook will manifest more challenging circumstances for themselves—the law of attraction operates 24/7.  

Beloved family, every happening whether perceived as progress or setbacks, tragedies or triumphs, is a reflection of vibrations that are ramping up turmoil so it can run out its course and simultaneously expanding the success of grassroots movements around the world. How we wish that this very moment life on Earth were what you want: peace, truth, kindness, mutual respect and cooperation of all peoples. Ultimately, it will be, and your steadfastness in the light is helping to create in linear time the world you want that already IS in the continuum. 

Now then, we shall address the remaining soul-related questions. The first, from a reader in the United States, is much the same asked by others who also tied it to presidential campaigning in that country, but the relevance of this issue is global: “What happens to the souls of unborn children due to an abortion?”  Janos, a soul in an eighth density civilization, spoke about this with my mother several years ago, and I asked her to copy that part of their lengthy conversation.  

[The following excerpt is from the chapter “Janos” in Voices of the Universe.]

    A soul does not need a body for life itself, as that is inherent in the essence of every soul. It is only for experiencing physically what cannot be without some mass for functioning that souls choose to have a body of some sort. 

    Among your people, there is great misconception about “life” and the difference between a soul and a body. You have a process called “abortion” that some believe is the destruction of a new life, and there is argument about when a soul enters a body being formed in the womb. No soul’s life ever is destroyed by ending the formation of a developing body. Bodies grow independently of souls through the natural laws of physical mechanisms reproducing in accordance with the cellular programming of each civilization. 

    Souls are not restricted to incarnating in a specific civilization. A soul’s spiritual evolutionary status automatically puts it within a certain vibratory level, and it chooses a civilization within that sphere that can provide the experiencing needed for its advancement. The greater the spiritual evolvement, the higher the light station within which a soul may choose the civilization for embodying, or living as a free spirit member.

    Souls whose spiritual growth needs are within the third density of Earth or other placements of similar vibratory status have a number of choices regarding bodies. They may reside around the parents even before conception takes place, and after conception, they may enter the fetus to experience that growth sensation.  If that kind of experience isn’t needed, they may remain “outside” for other kinds of experiencing prior to the birth, but with a soul contract “claim” on the developing body that other souls respect. If a soul enters a developing body and then reverses that decision, the woman experiences a miscarriage. A soul may inhabit a developing body until imminent birth, then decide not to continue in that body and a stillbirth results. Also, a soul may make one of those decisions, experience what it requires emotionally, and in agreement with another soul, will exit and the second soul enters until miscarriage, stillbirth or live birth occurs. A soul with a “claim” on a developing body may permit another soul to reside in the body to experience the growth and birth sensation, then that soul leaves and the first one takes over the physical life. 

    These various situations always are by agreement with all souls involved, which of course includes the parents and any other family members, and the purpose is to permit chosen experiencing to several souls at the level they need. Abortion, like all the other stages from prior to conception through a viable birth, provides opportunities for the participating souls to experience the attendant emotions that fill voids in their experiences to that moment.

    Bodies have a life force independent of a soul, and while it is an unusual situation that a body lives without a soul, this can happen. Souls have the choice to enter a cloned body or not, and if not, the clone still seems like anyone else because the brain and all senses and motor abilities are functioning. Another example is when injured or ill people are comatose.  The soul may choose to remain with the body or not, and if not, as long as nourishment is given, that body continues to live in a vegetative state until it dies from deterioration of cells. 

Thank you, Mother. If all Earth’s peoples could know that every one of you is a soul having a physical experience and the many choices souls have, abortion would not a political, social or religious issue. When you are living in the fullness of Earth’s Golden Age, there will be no abortions or divisiveness of any kind—life will be loving, peaceful and in harmony with all of Nature. 

“Is the 'soul' the essence of a person, or was it created to support the 'fundamental essence' as a storage unit for experiences?  In other words, are we really the 'essence' ... with a 'soul'.... 'mind' and 'body' as functional instruments only to support our true self, which is the 'essence' - which would suggest that the 'soul' is a spiritual function located in-between our 'fundamental essence' and our 'mind.'”

Your true self is a soul—an independent, inviolate, eternal Being whether living in a physical or a spirit world or as a free spirit anywhere in this universe. Your essence, or composition, is the pure love-light energy of Creator—the source of everything in existence throughout the cosmos—and in this universe is of God. Using Creator’s energy and Its gift of free will with its component power of manifestation, you design a mind and a body that will enable you to function in accordance with what you want to experience after incarnating. You endow this person with a repository, orstorage unit, of soul-level knowledge of The Beginnings in Creator and the collective wisdom and memories of your other lifetimes. It may be helpful to read a prior message that offers more extensive information about preparing for a new physical lifetime. [February 3, 2014]

Thank you, Mother, for adding the date, and we add that a lifetime as a free spirit has nothing whatsoever to do with personality traits or behavior. It is a special kind of experiencing that may or may not require a body, not even an etheric body, whereby the soul communicates directly with God and knowledgeably accomplishes its pre-birth chosen mission. Jesus and other messengers of God are examples of souls that needed a body to accomplish their free spirit lifetime mission.

“Why is it that some deceased souls remain attached to the Earth plane and not ascend to the light?  How come they have that choice?  Don't we all have to go to Nirvana or another realm to account for our lives here, and assess whether we need to return or not?”  

It isn’t quite accurate to ascribe “choice” to the rare occasions when persons don’t go to Nirvana or another spirit world directly after physical death. The soul, which is pure love-light energy, is liberated from the person’s etheric body and psyche, and it is the psyche that is reluctant to leave. The power of belief is mighty indeed, and some of those people believe they still are alive and carrying on, maybe preparing for a loved one’s return or caring for their young children or consummating a new business venture. Others do know they had died but want to stay on Earth until they have completed something of utmost importance—perhaps explain to families how to handle personal business affairs or continue fighting alongside their comrades or let police know who killed them.

Whatever the reason, it is of such vital significance to people in either of those categories that the energy they exert enables their etheric bodies to linger nearby. Eventually, often with the assistance of angels, spirit guides or a proficient energy worker, all of those souls realize that they cannot do what they desire and willingly move on to a spirit world. If to Nirvana, they experience life review and take advantage of all the opportunities that wondrous realm offers as they plan their next embodiment. 

Then there is the considerably different situation that you call “possession,” which also is a very infrequent occurrence on Earth. A darkly-inclined soul purposefully lingers to look for a body to enter during sleep time and remain henceforth. When it enters a body, a struggle ensues until one of the souls manages to oust the other. If the intruder soul takes possession, an experienced energy worker can perform what you call exorcism; when that is successful, the intruder is assisted to the light and the original occupant returns. If exorcism is not performed or is unsuccessful, the original soul goes to Nirvana or the spirit world of its civilization and the intruder remains in the body and causes considerable changes in the person’s behavior.

“What happened to the Soul when someone committed suicide?”  First we say, there is NO punishment for suicide as some religions teach. Just as in cases where physical death is by any other cause, the soul is liberated from the etheric body and psyche.  Someone who takes his or her life does so in mental and emotional anguish, and the psyche enters Nirvana in that traumatized state. After a healing process of tender, customized care and constant attentiveness, the person joins the realm’s population and experiences life review just as all others do. When another incarnation is planned, it includes the karmic lessons that had been chosen but not experienced in the life cut short. Mother, please add the date of the message that covers this topic more comprehensively. [September 23, 2014]

Thank you, and yes, I see that we have reached preferred space limits. I also see more questions about the soul on your list, but I feel that the information we have provided is the most relevant for the greatest number of readers.

So, with the assurance that never are you alone in your Earth journey, we bid you loving farewell for this moment.

Message from Matthew

 

January 18, 2016

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. We rejoiced with you when the waning days of 2015 brought forth resounding cheers that an international agreement had been approved to rein in the manmade causes of your changing climate. It is so that Mother Earth is moving gradually toward a moderate climate globally; however, the prudent action by your governments is essential on behalf of your health, the planet’s and future generations’, and the high vibrations of hopefulness about this landmark cooperative effort are strengthening the resolve to meet the goals that were set. That representatives from 200 or so nations signed the long-discussed terms of the agreement is in itself evidence of vibrations’ positive effects. 

   

Something else that affects the condition of Earth and all of her life forms is the prevalence of chemtrails, albeit that all along members of your universal family have been reducing their toxic effects. A few years back money for spraying ran out, but only briefly were your skies clear. The Illuminati re-funded their project so it could resume instigating record-level temperatures, drought and flooding along with causing respiratory illness in people who have weak immune systems.

We don’t know when the chemtrails will stop, but stop they will—public awareness of their damage is growing and Illuminati influence keeps crumbling. Meanwhile, the explanation for spraying is that it’s to protect the ozone layer that prevents the sun’s harmful rays from reaching Earth. The fact is, millennia back in your timing ones within the dark forces erected a grid of ozone molecules to prevent the sun’s beneficial rays from reaching the planet, and its gradual depletion is Mother Earth’s doing to aid restoration of her environmental health and enhance the wellbeing of all her residents.

For some years we have been saying that the Illuminati’s centuries of controlling the economy, commerce and currencies worldwide would be coming to an end. Volatility in the stock markets—the transactions are nothing more than a flurry of computer activity anyway because they have no monetary backing—ultimately will lead to ending the Illuminati’s financial stranglehold so the new global economic system can be implemented. This complex process will not happen overnight and is designed so that the changeover from the pervasively corrupt system to one based on precious metals will be minimally and temporarily disruptive. Welcome all indications that an honest, fair economic system managed by knowledgeable persons with moral and spiritual integrity is on its way. 

Please don’t think that “relentless upheaval and fighting” in the Mideast and some North African countries bodes ill for peace ever coming to that region. What you are seeing is the continuation of energy that was set in motion long ago by its attachments’ “instructions,” negativity-laden thought forms shooting up from the planet. Energy cannot make a U-turn. Once set in a direction, it stays on that course until its attachments are spent and once again energy is free to be its neutral self, ready for new instructions, and in that region combative instructions have been refortified for millennia. The time of ending that perpetual cycle is at hand, and in this your role is vital—being optimistic, confident, kind, grateful, compassionate and forgiving emits the high vibrations that are propelling energy streamers toward the peaceful world you are there to help usher in.

A number of readers have written about what one referred to as “islamisation of the Western world,” another asked if this is“intentional destabilisation of Europe,” and the uneasiness of readers in the United States stems from the terrorist act committed by a Muslim couple in California and anti-Muslim vandalism that followed. It is logical to attribute these perspectives to Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, but in part this is fear of differences, a common reaction to anything perceived as markedly different from what is familiar. To address the stated concerns, individuals in or influenced by those groups claim they are acting in the name of their religion, but their brutal disregard for life and control by terror is totally contrary to the founding precepts of Islam. Centuries back, the Christians who embarked upon that religion’s bloody history also acted upon extremist ideologies that were grievous distortions of the faith they were intent upon spreading.   

That history occurred during an era of very low vibrations that not only fostered, but gave impetus to barbarism—to wit, throngs cheered when people whose religious beliefs differed from theirs were put into an arena to be mauled by lions. One result of today’s dramatically increased vibratory rate, magnification of personal traits and behavior, is having much the same effect on individuals with sadistic proclivity, most of whom are acting upon perverted concepts about their own and other religions. Except for those individuals—but a handful of the world’s population—devout Muslims and Christians live by the benevolent tenets of their religions and eschew the extremely harsh passages in the Koran and the Bible that have no place in life today.  

Our beloved family of all faiths, your formal religious observances and customs differ. The foundation of your lives is the same. You revere and pray to a Supreme Being; you are devoted to family and instill in your children sterling values; you want to be meaningfully productive, to live safely, peacefully, and be healthy and prosper; you help people in needful circumstances. As conscious awareness continues expanding throughout your world, all religions will evolve into the purity of spirituality that people of every faith will embrace full-heartedly. Society will respect each person as a god-self, inseparably connected at soul level with all others, and the fear of differences that underlies animosity, bigotry and divisiveness no longer will exist on Earth. 

“What is behind, causing, and precipitating all these shootings??  I don’t believe people or souls are volunteering to die, etc.” Although the reader is referring to mass shootings in the United States, this is a worldwide matter. Here, too, it is the effect of prevailing vibrations: Individuals with radicalized convictions or mental derangement are acting upon their intense negative feelings. And some deaths have been assassinations by one means or another—scientists, journalists, healthcare professionals, individuals in government who cannot be bought—anyone who has information that the Illuminati do not want widely known.  

      

If karma is not involved, a “leveling” factor applies. Persons whose soul contracts didn’t include dying when the physical life ended get credit for fulfilling third density karmic lessons, if necessary; if not, the premature death cancels a difficult experience that would have been chosen in another embodiment. Either way, the individuals advance in evolvement status, and that is the goal of every soul. It is similar with people who sustain life-changing wounds that are not a contract choice, and killers who act outside their contracts incur a heavy karmic burden in another incarnation.  

As for the claim that Pope Francis and President Obama have participated in satanic rituals and pedophilia, it appears that since the Illuminati’s attempts to assassinate these men have failed time and again, they resorted to Plan B: Discredit the two most powerful individuals who are uprooting their global network. What is true is, the international headquarters of the satanic cult is in the bowels of the Vatican, and Pope Francis and a few cardinals who share his determination are taking steps to expose and end these diabolical rituals. Also it is true that Satanism has a strong foothold in the United States, including the entertainment industry where “faked” films are easily fabricated, and President Obama is working with others to abolish the rituals in that country. 

Now I am speaking only as Matthew. What I shall say is known to all souls at this station, but for two reasons it’s appropriate that I speak for myself. The first is because I was a guest-in-spirit, you could say, at a recent conversation among my sister, mother and two visiting friends. They think most people in the United States will be in shock when the truth comes out that officials at the highest level of their government were involved in the national tragedy that occurred September 11, 2001.

Since shortly after that event, photographs; scientific analysis of tower debris; reports from engineers, architects and individuals in the aviation industry; and the numerous deviations from standard procedures have been available on the Internet, clearly showing that the official story is false. Still, most people who would see that evidence would choose not to believe it. Why? From infancy you are told that whatever “authorities” say is correct and in your best interests. At first it is parents and other adult family members, and as children age, authorities include teachers, religious leaders, doctors, dentists and elected officials. Learning that persons whose information you regarded as gospel were wrong is disillusioning. That a president and his colleagues could so mercilessly, treacherously betray their nation and lie to the world is inconceivable. 

The other reason I am speaking for myself also pertains to 9/11. A nurse whose patients sometimes talk to her after they transition sent an email to my mother. She wrote that a representative for the people who died when the towers were demolished told her they wanted to send through me their message to the world, and their words are as cogent now as those years ago:   

    “Let no more lives be taken. This is the time to keep love above all, for compassion, for bringing healing to the bereaved and injured, for bringing healing to Earth. Please know that the hearts that are hardened into wanting to kill others as their tribute to us, they need light above all. We petition you from the whole of this realm of Heaven to speak of love, of opening eyes to seeing clearly what is happening on Earth, and rising above the tragedy that has been perpetrated by a darkness you cannot even imagine, where your entire world is expendable. We see this from here. We need you to help the myriad lightworkers by uplifting your hearts and allowing light to come in, by comforting those in fresh sorrow. You must hear our plea. We are working in the light to assist you, and we are forever bonded with you in love.”

All sensitive souls in this universe are saddened by the continuing of bloodshed, and in moments even you lightworkers think it could be unending. Dear ones, the killing will end and so will unquestioned acceptance of information from “authorities.” You say, “The truth will set you free.” Yes! Not only will long-hidden truths emerge, but people are beginning to trust their soul-level guidance wherein truth is known, and changes demanded by enlightened peoples will bring a world at peace. 

              

Information about the soul in prior messages continues to elicit comments and questions, and we welcome these opportunities to offer more insight. But first we want to address what a reader in the United States wrote: “Why is Matthew talking so much about all this soul information which he has explained in the past extensively when there's so much more important issues happening here?”

NOTHING happening anywhere in your world is more important than your knowing the soul you are! Without this, there can be no understanding of life itself. No awareness that your essence is pure love-light energy or that you are a multidimensional god-self with unlimited capacity for manifesting or that you are having simultaneous lifetimes elsewhere in the universe and designed this one so you could assist in Earth’s transformation. You wouldn’t realize that as the soul you are, you DO know all of that and much,much more, but the denseness of physicality is preventing your vast storehouse of universal knowledge from reaching your consciousness. Always the purpose of our messages has been to offer enlightenment, guidance and encouragement during these uniquely challenging times, and it is gratifying that according to thousands of emails and letters sent to my mother, the messages are serving their purpose. 

That said, the reader’s cited issues have to do with the political situation that is being fueled by the media, and we do understand her concerns. Other readers have expressed the same feelings, and they are in the company of millions, many of whom live in other countries that also feel the impact of decisions made in the United States. Souls at this station are apolitical and nonjudgmental, and when we speak about these matters, it is to explain why politics always has been a plague on the planet—from antiquity onward, the aim of the darkness has been “divide and conquer”—and how that is changing.   

Like everything else in this universe, every aspect of politics—rhetoric, intent and actions—is energy fluctuating at one frequency, or vibratory rate, or another. Long ages ago, the rate started diminishing and spiraled downward until the civilization was stuck in deep third density consciously, spiritually and location-wise. When Gaia no longer could abide the agony that political leaders were inflicting upon the masses, she cried out for help; instantly powerful sources beamed the intensive light that saved the life of her planetary body and enabled it to start ascending. Volunteers from spiritually advanced worlds started arriving to generate light on the planet, adding to the abundance streaming from distant sources. As light has been intensifying, the vibratory rate has been rising.

Today’s rate as it pertains worldwide to candidates running for office and individuals holding office is this: Those who are fomenting fear; advocating or employing hostile force; oppressing citizens on the basis of gender, race or religion; or are against programs and policies that would benefit the planet and all its residents are swimming against the tide that’s flowing ever more strongly toward diplomacy, reconciliation, cooperation, mutual respect and environmental protection. 

To all who are asking the same as this reader: “Who is going to be the next U.S. president?” we can only repeat what we said quite some time ago: We don’t know. Earth’s monitors in Nirvana tell us that energy around the candidates is too chaotic to determine how much is generated by the media, how much by the public. Also, a great deal will be happening between now and the election that will affect voters’ decision.

We can tell you our observations from this vantage point, activity in Earth’s energy field of potential, the workings of universal laws, how other civilizations have been assisting you, and marvels of the Golden Age in full bloom. That is why we have been able to tell you with certainty there will be no WWIII, no nuclear explosions in space, no massive changes in land and sea configuration, no invasion by a civilization that will enslave you, no validity to end-times prophecies or other fear-filled predictions. 

But because free will reigns overall and the countless decisions your society makes each moment impact each other, we don’t know who will do what or exactly when something will happen. What we do know is, people in every country want honorable, honest, wise leaders who assure that all of their citizens are served fairly and justly. Beloved family, light beings throughout the universe want this for you, and it is coming—it is the cornerstone of Earth’s destiny!   

Yes, Mother, I see that there’s no space for any soul questions. We will answer them in the next message—I think readers will be especially interested in the first one on your list.

In farewell we say, we honor your steadfastness in service to the light and are with you in spirit all along your Earth journey.

Message from Matthew

 

December 10, 2015

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. Surely nary a soul would disagree that the year seemed to zoom by, but few know that what they perceive as time passing faster is the energy planes Earth has been traversing or that the time-rushing sensation will become stronger as she enters still higher vibratory levels. You do know this, but it’s not likely that your thoughts in this moment are about the workings of universal laws, but rather holiday activities; and in keeping with this, we shall speak about this season’s traditional music.   

  

You listen to, sing or play instruments for religious music, majestic choral works, carols and popular tunes, but you may not realize how significantly this is affecting your world. Beyond reverence and great pleasure—and that in itself is immensely beneficial—the tones and lyrics of your familiar music emit vibrations that strongly stir emotions. We rejoice with everyone for whom this is the excitement of festivities with family and friends, religious observances, concerts or other special events. The vibrations also intensify the feelings of people who are grieving the loss of loved ones, or are ill or homeless and hungry; and it is the prevailing heightened emotions that stir individuals and groups to reach out to those in need of comfort and other assistance. More abundantly than ever before, upliftment is being given with caring hearts and received with gladdened hearts, and the light this is creating glows brilliantly!  

The importance of music is much more than seasonal, it plays a vital role in your lives throughout the year. What some call “music of the spheres”—the glorious tones of stringed instruments that probably gave rise to the idea that souls in heaven spend eternity playing harps—produce vibrations at a frequency that keeps the universe in balance; and as microcosms of the universe, you receive that balancing benefit in the same measure as your receptivity.

Although the image of eternal harpists in Nirvana is far from the reality, there are many thousands, and at times a million or so, musicians and instruments because music is essential to your spirit world’s very existence. Particularly the vibrations of the strings keep its perimeters flexible and everything throughout the realm in attunement, and they are indispensable in healing persons who arrive with traumatized psyches or damaged etheric bodies.

In much the same way, Nirvana’s composers and musicians are helping you. They continuously transmit music to Earth so the peoples can absorb the high vibrations that release suppressed feelings—an emotional catharsis, if you will—and, unless illness is a soul contract choice, the vibrations assist bodies to regain sound health. Your finest music—symphonies, concertos and other classical opuses that scientific experiments have shown help humankind, animals and plants to thrive—originated in the heavens and was “filtered” to your composers at soul level. Some attributed their works to divine inspiration, and since music comes from the soul, those composers gave credit where it was due.  

What never has come from any divine source are the discordant, cacophonous sounds of heavy metal and hard rock, which often have lyrics that also emit very low vibrations. Those kinds of sounds jar your energy systems, creating imbalance and diminishing the body’s capacity to absorb light; that adversely affects you emotionally, physically and mentally, thus blunting spiritual and conscious awareness. While neoclassical compositions can have somewhat the same effect, the composers, who are especially sensitive to Earth’s energy, wrote music that reflected Gaia’s agony until her planetary body’s ascension was securely underway; and negativity in more current dark activity underlies the atonal works of later composers.  

Now then, even if a number of you had not requested our comments, we would have spoken about a lamentable part of what otherwise is this season’s extraordinary thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity—the spirit in which a number of countries are welcoming Syrian refugees. Many in the United States Congress and some presidential candidates are, instead, instilling in the citizenry fear about the refugees. Some are acting from genuine concern, having succumbed to the fear that was fomented; others are using fear to make political hay, so to say.  

Not only is fear a highly magnified energy that blocks light, thereby blocking empathy, sympathy, compassion and rational thought, it is wildly contagious. A few persons who have public attention, amply aided by mainstream media, can “infect” the populace—that is what happened in the United States, where many people are afraid to provide sanctuary to any refugees. We honor and commend all souls in that country and around your world who are thinking and speaking out factually: The refugees aren’t terrorists, they are fleeing from war and terrorism. 

To reach safe havens, they risk their lives crossing rough waters in small overcrowded boats or by arduous, exhausting treks overland. Could a terrorist join the millions of women, men and children who leave homes, livelihoods and possessions to undertake such a journey?  Yes, that is a possibility, but rational thought is: With neither assurance of survival nor the ability to carry explosive equipment, someone on a destructive mission more likely would travel by a fast, safe means that enabled transporting necessary materials.  

With unconditional love for Gaia and every sentient being on her planetary body, far distant civilizations whose vastness and power are beyond your imagining are beaming intensive light to dispel fear so every heart can open to love. Love is the key to the world you are there to help create, and you would feel as encouraged as we if you could see the light radiating from all the souls who are responding. We quote one line of a reader’s email: “I so wish that everyone feels loved and warm - every living Being of every kingdom.” When those sentiments permeate your world, Earth will be the beauteous Eden she once was and all life will flourish as harmoniously as it once did.  

“Please ask Matthew if we need to pray for the people that have died. If we choose to die in a certain way, time and day, what good does it do to the soul? Is praying and meditation the solution to all of this drama the world is in?” First, we repeat something stated in previous messages: Your every thought and feeling is a prayer. Mother, we want to provide information about prayer that goes beyond answering the questions. Please copy what I told you long ago, when I was living in Nirvana.

[The following is an excerpt from the chapter “Prayer” in Matthew, Tell Me about Heaven]

     Matthew, are the effects of prayers diminished if the people don't go to church even though they know the value of group energy? 

    God never meant churches to be buildings of any kind. The magnificent cathedrals are man's idea, not God's. Church is all within the soul. Church is one's feelings of reverence, of thanksgiving. It is the uplifting of the spirit into the love and light of God. In this way, church is a single prayer that has the ability to touch the universe.

    In a church building filled with praying people, there may be only a few whose prayers have a pure and forceful energy flow. Many people pray with only a faint ritual observation, with no real energy. Others pray in such extreme distress or anxiety that their energy is distorted and has an adverse effect upon themselves as well as adding to universal negativity. Smooth energy flow is what positively affects each soul and the universe, not frenzied praying about specific conditions. It is energy balance that sustains and comforts.

    I'm not speaking about the intent of the prayer, but only about the effect of the energy involved in the praying. The energy put forth in a prayer for a completely selfish, greedy purpose may be just as intense as a prayer put forth for the safety of a beloved family member or friend. The intent is recorded as one aspect and the energy flow, or force, is recorded as another.  

  

    Furthermore, one who prays for a specific outcome regarding another doesn't know that soul's pre-birth agreement. Conditions or events the pray-er is petitioning to have changed may be exactly those the soul chose as his life's lessons. The same is true of prayers for oneself, because your consciousness is rarely in communication with your soul. So pray for your own or another's highest good and don't direct intense emotion toward a specific outcome of your choosing. The outcome is NOT your conscious choice. You can feel a sense of relief in this knowledge, which will be registered in your sensitivity as peacefulness. That allows energy to proceed unencumbered not only within your physical and psychic self, but issued forth as harmony into Earth's consciousness.

    Mother, I know you have heard that prayers "for the dead" are important and you've wondered why that would be necessary. Well, we aren't "dead," but since that reference is to souls in this realm, I want to assure you that prayers for us are indeed important. I don't mean only for those who arrive with great needs for comforting and healing, but also for us whose lives are vital and vibrant, with on-going lessons and spiritual growth. Of course we need and welcome your prayers! And please know that they are especially welcome when in balanced energy, because those prayers are the most beneficial to us and to you, our beloved ones.

Thank you, Mother. Is praying and meditation the solution to all of this drama the world is in? begs more than a yes or no answer. Absolutely light-filled thoughts and feelings are essential—they enter the collective consciousness, latch onto what matches them and bring those energy streamers back to your world.

But action is essential, too. Telling family, friends and co-workers why you feel optimistic about the future can allay their fears and reverse their low-vibrational pessimism. Not all of you can participate in national or international organizations whose efforts are directed toward peace, justness, environmental preservation or animal rights, for instance; but you can support their efforts by the energy you put forth signing pertinent petitions and donating money if your circumstances permit. Perhaps you are able to volunteer in local groups that provide worthy community services; and by becoming informed about candidates for public office, you can vote for those you deem best qualified. And, we remind you that simply by living in godly ways, you are beaming light into the world—never underestimate the power of your light!      

“Earth’s population is more than 6 billion and growing. Matthew said etheric bodies have mass. Don’t they take up room? What happens if Nirvana runs out of space?”  Yes, etheric bodies “take up room,” but never could Nirvana even become crowded, much less run out of space. Unlike Earth and other planets that retain their shape and size, Nirvana’s interconnected flexible layers have limitless expansion capacity.

All layers offer learning advantages and comfortable living accommodations, but because the higher dimensions also have exceptional beauty, diversity and manifesting possibilities, countless souls from other worlds go there to vacation, teach or attend advanced classes, or rest after a difficult lifetime. Visitors and temporary occupants, all of whom are fourth density or higher in soul evolvement, may have bodies with considerably more mass than etheric bodies. It is spiritual status that affords entry to this multi-civilizational environment where people with various body styles, attire, interests and talents happily mingle with each other and Earth’s animals. Life in those parts of Nirvana is sublime! And, although they know your religions’ fallacies, visitors and others who live there temporarily join the residents from Earth in celebrating with you the spirit of this holy season, and their combined high vibrations add to the glowing light in your world.  

   

Dearest family, sing “Joy to the world” and “Peace on Earth, good will toward men”—toward all souls—with feelings of love, gratitude for blessings in your life and forgiveness of the ones who don’t want those words to ever ring true. The truth of the words already abounds in the fullness of Earth’s Golden Age in the continuum and is coming ever more steadily to that world you are helping to create in linear time. Let the joyousness of this season continue throughout your new year and keep your light brightly shining.

Always our unconditional love is with you, and many brothers and sisters from other homelands are journeying right alongside you.
