The Abbotts - 100 Questions Answered By the Ascended Masters - Practical Psychic and Spiritual Information On Everyday Issues

The questions in this section were answered by Lord Sananda who is the Higher Self of Jesus. He is a compassionate and loving master, who has had many lives on Earth and truly understands the human condition and problems.

Who am I really

You are a spirit, part of the Godforce who has incarnated into a body on Earth at this time, in order to experience human life. If you can imagine the Divine Godforce as a huge energy force that is all knowing, all powerful and all loving, then realise that you are part of that Divine energy. A small droplet of light that is part of the greater ocean of cosmic love and knowledge.

You volunteered to visit Earth and incarnate into a human body, to gain greater knowledge of how it feels to be a woman or man. You have already experienced what it is like to be a foetus, a baby, a child and a teenager. As your life progresses you will find out what it is like to be an adult and then an elderly person and then finally discard the fragile aged body and return to the great Ocean of Divinity, to share your knowledge.

Your experience of life is totally unique! No-one else has ever experienced being you! This time frame of the 21st century is unique! Your knowledge and experiences of life, love, hate, sex, religion and joy is something only you have experienced - so that you can relate to and you can share this knowledge with the collective spirits that make up the Godforce. You are an information gatherer on a wonderful unique journey. Make sure that you enjoy the experience; it will never happen exactly the same again!

Why would I want to leave Heaven and come down here?

You have probably discovered already, that on Earth, you have to work hard to get where you want in life. You will need to go to kindergarten as a small child, then work your way through secondary to high school, then maybe college or university, if you want to be specialised at a certain occupation. Just wanting to be a brain surgeon is not enough! It will take many years of schooling and training, until you are fully qualified.

In Heaven, it is the same. Your work does not stop when you leave this small planet, at death. Although heaven is a wonderful place compared to Earth, there is still much work to do! To put it succinctly, you need to earn your wings!

If you want to progress, ever upwards, towards the perfected Godforce, you need to perfect yourself. Trying to perfect your self on these Higher Levels of Awareness, is difficult. Everyone is warm and loving. How do you improve yourself, amongst angels? Where are the challenges for you to overcome?

To perfect yourself more quickly, you decide to reincarnate to planet Earth, where yes, life is difficult and often challenging, but, somewhere you cant possibly exist, in a quiet, warm, fuzzy, uncomplicated, uneventful manner.

Life is complicated! Life is challenging! But, it certainly gives you opportunities to grow spiritually. Hopefully, each time you are here, you become aware of your spiritual nature, act lovingly and compassionately and therefore at death, pass over to a Higher state of existence to the one you resided on, prior to this life.

Think of Earth as a training school - difficult and tiring, but you eventually pass your exams and graduate with honours!

I cant see myself as a volunteer, explain?

On that higher level in Heaven, you are a much, more brave, daring being, than you are, here on Earth. You see life as an adventure and a challenge. You choose the life you want to live, for the lessons you can learn from it.

For instance, perhaps you have been very impatient in many past lives on Earth. You may have even lost your life, several times, by being too impatient. Perhaps, charging into battle too soon or doing something dangerous, such as trying to swim a strong river, rather than wait for the ferryboat.

This life, you choose to be born in a quiet region, where very little happens out of the ordinary. Or you may, then choose to enter a convent and live the routine of a nun. You train yourself to acquire and appreciate patience. Soon it becomes part of your character. When you pass over to Heaven after this life, you will have attained this virtue and you wont have to live a life devoted to attaining patience again.
