Outline
by archangel Zadkiel
Greetings, my dear friends on this earth plane! So, you have decided to embark on a voyage of your soul. Since you are reading this, you must have decided to play a more active role in your life and fate. Your soul has already been on a long voyage, through many lifetimes. Most humans are unaware of these former lifetimes. However, many believe that there is more to life than this one lifetime, Christians believe in an afterlife in heaven or hell, while other religions are aware of the cycle of lives, the many lifetimes a human soul normally goes through.
It is not necessary for you to know what happened in all your previous lifetimes, but there are ways for you to get closer to your soul and thereby get closer to your memories of those lives. This can be helpful in understanding your current life, understand not just which tasks you have chosen, but also why. This remembering is one of the exercises we will be dealing with in future lessons of the Inner Circle.
As you may be curios as to what else may come your way if you keep reading the Inner Circle, let me give you a small outline. The main reason for creating this section was that not all humans who stumble upon the Spiritual Connection are prepared for the material presented in the Inner Circle, and may read material their mind is not prepared for at that time. This may turn them away when the teachings appear to be too far from what they call reality, while their soul may have just begun to open up the mind to accept spirituality. That is a fragile state when the human being can be easily mislead. To avoid confusion and overexposure, this section had to be secured to be accessible only to those that decided to accept spirituality or at least to be open enough to make the next step. This is not to be seen as being judgmental – nobody is being judged nor anyone being rejected because of their level of “spiritual development” since everyone is striving to get ahead, there really are no significant differences. That some have learned more than others in certain areas is no reason to judge. Others may have learned more in other areas.
The next lessons of the Inner Circle will be dealing with
- reincarnation and the memories thereof
- how to experience unconditional love
- keys to ascension
- earth changes and their impact on humanity and your spiritual development
Most of these points have been mentioned in other areas of this site, but the goal of Inner Circle is to go deeper into the subject, provide more details, and give additional information.
Blessings to you, my dear friends!
Lesson 1: Fate & Problems In Life
by archangel Zadkiel
Greetings, my dear friends! You have been preparing for the changes in yourself for many lifetimes, and now that the earth changes are upon, it is the time to implement that what you have been preparing for. It is a change in your consciousness state, a change in your awareness, that will bring you insights and a broader view. There has been much talk about earth changes, but little has been said about that what really concerns you, which are the transformations that many humans will be going through as earth passes into the new age, into the new dimension. It has been said before, that these earth changes are an opportunity for human souls to accomplish unimaginable tasks, which is why you see so many problems for many good souls today, they are going through times of hardship to work off karma, to make the experiences they still need to make, to be able to achieve a different, higher state of consciousness. Those that believe in God often do not understand why there are so many different “fates” for the people on earth, why some seem to have an easy life, while others have an extremely hard one. However, God is fair and just, even if this is not obvious to the human eye, for most humans cannot see what happened before this lifetime. Those that are suffering may have chosen this way for various reasons, for working off old karma, for showing others to appreciate their life, or for giving some the opportunity to show love and charity. Often, it is a combination of all such reasons, and some individuals may have other reasons, but you can see the general idea behind hardships in life. To some point, you all have chosen a life that is not easy – an “easy life” would not be very helpful to the development of the soul, for you can only learn if you come across some obstacles and problems that you need to work on so you can learn from the experiences you make while working on these problems. Be brave and tackle your problems – they are the gateway to learning, and learning is the gateway to spiritual growth, which in turn leads to ascension. Look forward to all these problems, and when you encounter them, observe them with joy in your heart, as they give you an opportunity to grow. This is not an easy exercise, but as we said, life is not always easy, but the more you change your attitude towards life’s problems, the easier it will be. If you resist to these processes, you will slow down and carry an even heavier burden. Free yourself from your inner resistance, from your apathy and laziness – strive forward into a brighter future, as ascension awaits those that dare to be free of fear and resistance. Enjoy the blessings that come to you from the flocks of angles that are on earth to help mankind, and you, be in peace and harmony! Greetings, Amen. Amen. Amen.
Lesson 2: Past Life Memories
by archangel Zadkiel
Greetings, my dear friends! As you may by now be aware of, each human soul goes through many lifetimes. The journey of each soul is like a book that is being written – each lifetime is a new page, a new beginning. These pages get filled more in some lifetimes, less in others – but each lifetime means a new page, a new beginning, thus giving a new start. During most lifetimes at this level of development most of mankind stands at, most humans do not remember their previous lives, to allow them this new beginning. When the soul reaches a certain point of development, and becomes aware of the fact that there is more than one life to a human soul, one often become curious and want to know all about the previous lives, for various reasons. Some are simply curious, some want proof and want to see if for what they find out about their former lives evidence can be found, yet others hope to find out that they were a well-know person in a former life – in order to find self-worth in the past for the present, which, of course, would be an illusion – one more reason, why most humans cannot remember former lives; what really is important, is to live this present lifetime to the fullest. You have a role to play, the role of the person you see in the mirror – just a role, but nevertheless, it is important that you fulfill your tasks for this lifetime, which is why you have chosen this role. Like an actor cannot keep thinking about previous roles that he or she may have played, it is important to draw from the energy within and concentrate on the current situation. This is why I see past life regressions as unnecessary, in some cases even dangerous – memories of trauma can cause serious confusion or even depression. What if you found out you were a murderer, a victim of a cruel crime, or died a horrible death? In actuality, most humans have such experiences somewhere in their past – this is not something you need to know or remember, souls choose certain experiences because they are part of the plan – but if someone remembers such events and is not prepared for such memories, this could have devastating effects. In a recent weekly address, Emanuel talked about this, but this is an important issue, as many that begin their more active spiritual path at these times of change are not aware of the risks involved when exploring various paths, like past life regression. I am not generally condemning past life regression, but want to caution you. Actually, I am going to even tell you how you yourself can explore your past – in a safe way that is right for your soul. You may have to be more patient, but that is the price for being safe and progressing at the right speed for yourself. As there can be many times when knowledge of former lifetimes can play an important role in your life, for understanding your current situation, understanding problems with others, understanding fears and phobias, it is a wise idea to deal with this subject in a careful way. Be blessed. Greetings to you, my dear friends, Amen, Amen, Amen.
Lesson 3: Exercise to awaken past life memories
by archangel Zadkiel
Greetings to you, my dear friends! This time, let us get closer to getting in touch with your own inner memories, which are not only memories of all that happened in this lifetime, but also memories of who you are, what your tasks are in this lifetime, and which memories of former lifetimes are of interest to the current one. This, my dear friends, is not something to be afraid of, for what you have experienced is part of you just as much as who you are and what you had planned for this lifetime.
You need to begin by focusing on the fact that you are spirit, that you are part of the spirit world, that you are part of this wonderful creation, that this being-a-part connects you to everything that exists. The more you learn to be aware of this, the closer you get to your goal – not just your hidden memories. I need to advise you, that at times it may become frustrating to you, when you try to remember things of the past, but this is part of the process and could be seen as a test of your willpower as well as your endurance. There are many little and big tests in the journey of a soul, having enough patience to go through with this exercise without giving up half way through – or before even starting – is one of these challenges. As you become slowly aware that you are spirit, you will more and more regain consciousness of the abilities that lie within you. There are many more abilities that are within you than simply remembering who you are and what happened in former lives, but this is one good starting point. You need to take this focusing on that you are spirit, part of a spirit world, seriously, otherwise the following exercise will have no effect on you. Also, a prerequisite is that you practice love and light exercises as described by our friend and brother Emanuel at a different place in this area of information, a good way would be to follow his advice on the triple light protection. You need to do these light exercises at least on a daily basis for several weeks, possibly months, before the following exercise may give you anything useful.
This exercise that I can recommend for reawakening your memories should begin with the before mentioned triple light protection. You then form a tunnel of light in front of you, walk through it, and find yourself at a lake. You walk into the lake – don’t worry about drowning, souls don’t breathe – and at the bottom of the lake you can see a big library that was hidden there, invisible and apparently inaccessible before you dared to step into the water. You go into the beautiful library, ask the librarian to hand you the book which you wrote that is most important to you at this time. He will hand it to you, and you open it up and begin to read – images may come to you, allow this to happen, immerse yourself for a while into that what happens, what you can observe, but concentrate on observing – this is a key in learning more about yourself and understanding your past. Do not be surprised if you look different – that is normal. When you feel you have seen enough – do not take on too much at once, your mind needs time to adapt and process – return the book to the librarian, return to shore, walk back through the tunnel of light into your earthly reality of this lifetime. I recommend you do this exercise about once a week, more often does not do any harm, but do not overdo this because it is a process to allow yourself and your mind to adapt to the new situation of being able to access memories this way. If for some reason you do not see anything in the book, receive no images, sounds, or thoughts, be patient and keep trying about once a week. Please remember that the purpose of this exercise is not to put any pressure on you, so do not put any on yourself. Let go of wanting to know about your past – this can cause a blockage that hinders you from accessing the memories. Be free, be open, let go of fear and wanting, simply allow things to happen. You will be guided towards your deepest goals.
This is an exercise to remember past events, from former lives, possibly from this life, and I am going to give you another exercise soon to remember who you are and what your tasks are. Those are harder to access, which is why I gave you this one first. Do not take past live memories too serious – they are not as important as some think, but some memories are great help in understanding your current situation. There may be other exercises, but this is an easy and safe way. Allow yourself to be guided by your spirit guide, and you will find what you need. Until next time, Greetings to you, my dear friends! Amen, Amen, Amen.
Lesson 4: Finding out your life’s lessons and tasks
by archangel Zadkiel
Greetings, my dear friends! Here I would like to continue where we left off in the last lesson. I gave you an exercise that you can use to awaken your memories of what you have experienced in former lifetimes. Now I want to give you the opportunity, to use a similar exercise to find out more about the big lessons and tasks for this lifetime.
As with the last exercise, you begin with a preparation as mentioned before using the triple light protection (Emmanuel Chapter 4.1) and enter the higher realms through the tunnel of light. On the other side, you find yourself deep in a forest. Enjoy the wonderful nature that surrounds you, feel connected with the trees and other plants, and the animals. There is a path, follow it, and you come to a big school house, in the middle of the forest. You walk up the stairs to the entrance, enter the building, and meet a teacher in the entry hall. He (or “she”, I’ll use “he” for now but this is irrelevant) takes you to a classroom – your classroom – and you ask him if he could write your current life’s main tasks and lessons on the board. If he doesn’t, ask why – and be patient, there may be a good reason why. If he does, pay great attention to the details. Some may receive a symbol instead of a written statement, memorize this symbol, and meditate on it another time, observing the thoughts and images that come to mind. After you read the board, feel free to ask more questions – however, be patient, many things have to develop over time and you will more than likely not be able to get all your answers regarding your lessons and tasks answered, but you are probably able to get another step closer each time you use this exercise. Again, don’t try to force anything, instead, allow things to happen, and be very observant.
Lesson 5: Exercise for spirit contact
by archangel Zadkiel
Greetings to you, my dear friends! I have been asked to include a lesson on how to channel. Channeling is an ability that is within everyone, because you are spirit, just like everybody else on earth, and spirits are able to communicate on an energy level, not just through voice, by speaking, and listening, which is a physical form of communication, but by the energy connection that binds all beings in the universe together. Therefore, once you learn to communicate the spirit way, physical distance becomes irrelevant. You will be able to communicate with your friends all around the planet earth, even with soul friends on other planets. However, it takes a lot of practice and patience to get this far.
This lesson was included upon request, if you do not think it is the time for you to make any contact with the spirit world, then this lesson can only show you how this contact works, there is no need for anyone to follow these instructions and do the exercise described below. This exercise is one of several ways to make a connection, there are others that may be just as suitable. From my point of view, this is the easiest way to make a safe contact.
For now, let us concentrate on one special area of spirit communication, the kind that has been named “channeling”, which is the communication with non-physical spirit beings. If you want to learn to channel, or speak out for, a spirit being, you first need to learn to reach a state of a quiet mind. This need not be total though silence, but using observation, you need to learn to distinguish between thought and non-thought. Most humans can experience at least short moments of non-thought during meditation, as well as in moments of high concentration of the mind – which is actually quite the opposite meaning of the literal meaning, because at such times the mind is not intense, but open – i.e. if you can concentrate on listening you are not in a state of intensified mind, but in an open mind, allowing the thoughts of the speaker to flow in, uncommented by your own thought. As soon as you comment in your mind, you are no longer concentrating on the speaker. In this context, the word concentration is used to describe a state of paying attention to what you can observe, and in this state of observation the activity of your mind is reduced. This is the kind of state of mind that is needed for channeling. Let me go through some steps that I recommend if you want to attempt to channel a spirit being.
Above all, it is very important that you are filled with light. Some humans have reached a level of development where this is easily reached, often unaware of this, but I recommend for all to begin any spiritual exercise with the triple light protection (see Emmanuel 4.1). Especially when you seek contact with the spirit world, it is important to do this seriously – there are some low level astral beings that are just waiting to have their chance to speak through someone, and have very negative intentions of intrigue and causing trouble. They can even pretend to be high or ascended beings, and to the human who is not properly prepared, this poses a serious risk. I am not saying this to cause fear, but to give a warning to those that are not using the utmost care and precaution. If you use the triple light protection, there is nothing to fear, for where there is light, there cannot be anything dark.
Another important premise is the intention that the person wanting to channel has. If you want to do this out of curiosity or even with some hidden agenda, you will not get any useful information, or be influenced by less high beings. If your intent is driven by search for contact with spirit guides for spiritual growth and teachings or guidance, then you have found the right place, and can proceed. Otherwise, you need to reconsider your motives. Also, if you want to seek out a specific being, let go of that desire – let the spirit world decide, they know better what your path is and whose time it is to come forward to you. There are many more reasons involved, including energy compatibility, but I do not want to discuss these any further for they could fill books. Especially beware of trying to make contact with “the dead” – many of those that have recently passed away are very earthbound astral beings, not high teachers you could learn from. Any communication with recently deceased would be no better than a talk with the living – they don’t know much about you and your path. Also, you could easily open up to lower astral planes, which could create a great risk to yourself.
If your intent is proper, and you are regularly using the triple light protection, then prepare for channeling with the light protection. When you are ready, picture golden light coming to your throat chakra. After a few moments, picture a tunnel of light in front of you. Pass through it, be aware that this cleanses and harmonizes you. On the other side, you are at the foot of a hill, mountain or pyramid. Climb up, step by step – this helps to raise your energies. At the top, you will find a spirit being. Ask, if this being is from the light – if not, send it away and wait for a being of light, and you may have to try again another day. Something may need to be resolved in your life first, be patient. If the being claims to be from the light, feel if this is true. If you feel calm, relaxed and comfortable with this presence, talk to this being to find out more about who it is. You can begin this way to communicate, by repeating what is said and recording this on tape, or by writing this down. If you continue to feel comfortable and have a good feeling – do not let your wishes get in the way of your judgment, it is better to wait a day if the connection is not pure – then you can allow that being to get closer and slowly merge with some your aura. A full merger is not the best thing to do when starting up – allow this to evolve over weeks of practice, until the merging is almost complete. Let the spirit being guide you in this – you are not the doer, you are the one allowing this to happen, and of course it will only happen if you are free of fear.
Doubting is one of the biggest problems for those that begin to channel. A good way to slowly overcome this problem is to observe what happens during the channeling exercise. If you pay close attention, you can tell the difference between your personal thoughts interfering with and coloring the message, and pure spirit thought transmissions. As with all things that can be learned, practice is the key to becoming better at this. Some humans may seem to “have a talent” for channeling – as with all “talents”, this is simply the result of a prior life experience with the subject, so if you seem to have trouble, be patient, and you could contact someone who has more experience with it, or even better, ask your spirit guide, if you can.
Many books have been written about “channeling” – some valuable, some less. If you are ready for making contact yourself, the exercise listed above should be sufficient to get you started, the rest is practice and you can get more help from your spirit guide. Feel free to read some additional information elsewhere, but knowledge is not the key, and be aware that not all that is written is useful and true. Inner guidance is the key, and no book, nor my message, can provide that – it is within you, in your heart. Feel deep within, feel what your heart is telling you, and you will find your way. Be blessed, and be greeted. Amen. Amen. Amen.
