RESPONSE TO URSEL, JOHANNA, EVA, GABI

I tried to post this as a comment to the comments of the four students below on my post "The White Room" but the comment section wouldn't let me post such a long message! So I'm posting it as a post. If you haven't taken the time to find your own answer to the question of the white room, please do so, before you finish reading this post. Thank you! Hi Ursel, Johanna, Eva, and Gabi, Thank you for your responses. Since you have taken the time and are the first to post your responses and I have a little time this morning, I would like to answer each of you more deeply, intuitively, as I connect with the angelic energy that composes our school.

Our school is an interesting school. On one hand, it has no walls. It is a virtual school. It came to me as an inspiration, a message from the angels, totally unexpected. The school was created letter by letter, word by word. From nothing it came into existence. Those of you who have been here from the start have seen many changes in our school, as it grows and expands. For instance, we now have daily email messages, which were not part of the original school.

Although the White Room exercise is about death on a very mundane level, it has a deeper meaning on a spiritual level -- at least the angels tell me so.

First let me tell you that although the exercise is meant to represent your view of death, for angels there is no death, but then again, there is also no birth. Your true self cannot be born and cannot die. This is not true for the body, which is born and does die.

And so this exercise can tell us how we view the death of our body; but more importantly, at least for spiritual students, it relates to death of the ego. Death of the ego results in new birth. As we die to what we are not, what we are begins to emerge. For example, our spiritual work can allow a negative thought we have carried with us all our life -- a thought that has caused us to suffer -- to die -- and be replaced by Truth.

DEAR URSEL, your interpretation of the White Room is very interesting -- seeing how much space there is around you -- especially thinking of our last reading together in Maulburg. A thought that has caused you pain is that you are "too tall" and that you cannot take up the space you need. The angels tell you, "Ursel! You have permission to take up all the space you need! There is enough space for you. You can breathe in all the oxygen you need. You can fill your lungs with fresh pure air, letting yourself grow and expand and fill the space where you are. "Too tall" is only a thought. "Too" is a judgment.  You just are. You are here. You belong here. You are welcome here. Stand in your light, without apology, and your light will give others permission to be here as they are. Be a column of light shining to the heavens. There is enough space for your spirit to grow, expand, be, live, love, laugh. You are a delight. The universe loves you. The universe is a mother holding you like a baby in her loving arms. You are safe here. The past is over, a dream. You have arrived HERE now in the present moment right where you belong! Thank you for being here." Your response in the White Room also shows that you are open, curious, willing and wanting to explore yourself and the spiritual world, to grow and evolve beyond the mind. Good work!

STAND TALL!

DEAR EVA, I can see that your English is getting better everyday! Congratulations. Interesting you said the White Room is your holy room. Keeping in mind what I said above, about the exercise also representing ego death -- then clearly your response says that you receive light, healing, and answers when you go beyond the ego or mind -- and connect to something Higher. This is what serves you in your life, your work, and your art. When you forget to go within to your holy room -- you begin to lose energy and get confused. The angels always remind us that there are two ways to live. One way is horizontally: living from reactions, unconscious and unaware. The other is vertically: connecting heart and mind to a higher mind -- this is when we live connected to Intuition. When you create your art you are in your holy room, divinely inspired by an energy beyond your ego mind. Something within you recognizes that the White Room does not represent death to you -- but life -- as the ego self dies, a new self emerges. This is a time in your life to withdraw your trust from the outer world -- including people and circumstances -- which often confuse you -- and go to your holy room -- here you will find all the trust you need. As you go deeper in Self-Trust -- people around you will try harder to persuade you to go their way, the way of the world, the way that is ordinary. Pay them no mind. Do not fight or resist them. Do not argue. Just stay in your holy room and experience Divine Trust flowing into you and filling you.

Your holy room

 

DEAR JOHANNA, clearly you realize that death of the physical is not an ending but a beginning. You recognize a spiritual truth -- angels do appear to guide and comfort us at death. You are a giver -- that is, you are often giving to others. You do this because it is a natural part of your nature -- a natural expansion of who you are. You give generously. You see deeply into others, at a very empathic and intuitive level. You also have something to give. You have a deep connection with your own spirit. On the other hand, your response also shows how important it is for you now to take time for yourself, away from people and distractions, to energize your own spirit. When you do, you will find new messages coming through to you. Spirit is trying to communicate with you, and when you are so busy trying to take care of other people, then Spirit cannot give you the messages it wants to give you. Spirit says -- pay attention to me. When you give me everything, I will give you everything. You will then have more and not less to give. It is important that you do not deplete your resources or energy by neglecting yourself and giving too much. Be a child and come to the Mother. There is much 6th chakra work going on within you now, so please do what you can to facilitate that.

  

The 6th Chakra

DEAR GABI, our ego is always afraid of death. We have a natural instinct to live and to fight to live. This is "built in" to the body and brain. We cannot know for sure how we might act when confronted by death or the threat of death. One reason we concentrate on our spiritual studies is to be ready to meet the death of the body. This is one reason religions exist, to give comfort to the universal fear of dying. So fear of death, even if it is unconscious, is common. Let's say -- it is common for the ego. Fortunately, you are here in the school, building your spiritual strength, connecting more deeply with inner light. When we begin our spiritual path, the ego is stronger -- which means that thoughts and feelings of lack, loss, limitation, and fear prevail in our lives. As we grow closer to our true nature -- the ego very slowly begins to die -- and our true nature becomes stronger, or more predominate. As the scales tip in favor of Truth, the ego loses power. And it is not actually that our true nature becomes stronger. Our true self always exists, shining and radiating like the sun. The ego and its fears are nothing more than dark clouds. Our spiritual studies and practices allow the unreal (ego) to be blown away like clouds, revealing the real (our true self) shining in radiant splendor. We do not have to "create" this self. It IS. You are on the path. The presence of the angels is with you, reaching across the ocean to you there in your little kingdom where you drink tea and plant flowers in your garden. Do not be too hard on yourself. Just keep showing up for yourself. And the angels will show up for you. You are on the right path. Thank you for being here and sharing your being so openly.

 

When ego wins, we lose.
