			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>12. Dreams, dream state, what do we do in our dreams, astral travel&nbsp;</strong></p><br><p>Alison ~ Thomas, what can you tell us about dreams and the dream state?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Dreams are real. You have journeys. Your soul does not sleep. Your ego does. When you are asleep, your soul is connected to the Oneness and is aware of it. It is being taken places, experiencing and shown things. Information is being downloaded into you.</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, the dream sate is just as real as the waking state.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It is. Yes. And if you look at it. You’re going to make a human life. The first thing you’re going to do is put a time limit on it, because that makes it easier to control for you. So, then you’re going to take this allotted time that you have designed for your human life. You’re going to take a third of that and make it useless. You’re going to be asleep. Nothing is happening. You’re not doing anything. Why would you do that? That dream state, that time is when you’re doing the most.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ It makes sense. To me it’s one of those things…it’s like we don’t do anything. We just sleep. We’re just resting? I have that sense and you probably do to, which one is more real? Where I just was or where I’m waking up into.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Oh yeah. Definitely.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ And in your dream state, your soul has so much freedom because. Overall, your body’s not moving. It’s still.&nbsp; It’s at rest. You don’t have to focus on any of that. It’s taking care of itself. So, there is nothing for you to focus on. You are free to just open up and be.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ How come we don’t remember for the most part, our dreams?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It would be bad for ego to remember every place you’ve been and what you’ve done. Who you’ve been talking to. It would frighten ego, to the point where ego would not rest again. And so then, you would lose that chance to really be in a dream state.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ You said like who we’ve been talking to. Sometimes I can wake up and it seemed, whoa, sometimes when I do remember, it seemed like I was really there, and it was a real conversation. There might be different aspects that were different than my waking reality aspect. But it seems so real. So, is that really happening?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It is! It is really happening. Yes. For people who do remember their dreams. It’s really a very small part of them that they’re remembering. It may seem like a lot, where they had a big dream that just went on and on, but it’s a very small part of what happened. To remember everything would begin to make you non-human.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ So, what do we do in our dreams?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ If you’re a Starseed, you can go to your home planet and visit. You can come…both of you…anyone can come into the Oneness and be with the guides and experience. You can meet with passed loved ones. Spend time with them. You can spend time with the Angels. There is no limit to where…you can take a vacation. You can go to planets and ride unicorns or fly with dragons. There’s no limit to what you can do. (laughter)</p><br><p>Alison ~ Can you place an order and say, I would like to fly with a dragon tonight?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ If in the process of going to sleep, you lay down and keep thinking that until you fall asleep, until your ego falls asleep. There’s a very good chance, that’s what you will experience. So, you can control your dreams.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ And yet the dreams we tend to remember are more earthly things that we’re doing.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Things that you can relate to, yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Like I have a lot of dreams about the different places I’ve worked. I’m working there again and somethings happening.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yeah. That’s keeping you tied into…that makes ego…if you came back and had all these dreams night after night of flying on dragons and riding unicorns and just being out there, every night. Ego would start to fear sleep. So, you need something ego can recognize to bring back with you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ You said a moment ago that we also get downloads. Can you talk about those?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ If you have…let’s make it simple. During the day, you’ve lost something and you’re trying to find it. You look and you look, and you can’t find it. In your dream state, you will find it and when you wake up, you’ll know. You will walk right to it. You’ll know exactly where it is. So, that information was given to you. If, during the day you’re expending a lot of energy trying to remember a past event or someone you knew and you’re having trouble with it. You can wake up the next day and have very clear memories of it. If, you’re trying to decide which way to go on something, a free will choice. You can wake up in the morning and have a certain or definite feeling of what you are going to do. And you know it’s right. You have no more doubts about it. They’ve vanished in the night, because you’ve been given information.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Do we talk with our guides during the night?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You can. You do. A lot of times they’re with you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ We know that sleep is important, to dream.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ For the body, yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ How much sleep is necessary for the average human?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Not nearly as much as you think. Three or four hours would be sufficient.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ I don’t think I would be a happy human on three or four hours. (laughter) I have some friends who can get by on four hours and they’re okay with that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ But you’re focused on, you’re trained for eight hours. That’s what you’re used to.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ I like eight hours.</p><br><p>Steve ~ I usually get nine.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ And that’s good.</p><br><p>Alison ~ We don’t have to have that much sleep. Three or four is sufficient.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You know, the more sleep you have. The more chance you have to travel, be and experience. If you sleep twenty hours per day, you’re not getting much of a human experience but, you’re still having fun. (laughter)</p><br><p>Alison ~ What about a power nap, where people can fall asleep for a few minutes and feel energized?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ If that’s their intent, the guides will take them to places where the energy and vibration is much higher. So, when they come back, they have that energy and they’re ready.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ That’s neat. So, sometimes here, in the office I’ve meditated just for a few moments. Then I realize, oh, I might have fallen asleep. There was a little blurp there in time. What’s that about? Is that a dream state?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It is, ego stepped back far enough for you to be able to leave.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ I didn’t remember it when I came back. It was a very short amount of time but, there was the benefit of feeling refreshed.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Energy boost. And it comes from your soul, not from a can.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ What happens when children have night terrors? So, they’re waking up in a dream state, not really awake yet. What’s happening there?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ What they’re experiencing there is the final separation from their guides. As they start to grow, and the veil starts to thicken for them, and they can’t see their guides. Then they go into a dream state and they do see their guides with them again, and they’re back there. But then they start moving back into wakefulness and they lose that connection. It’s terrifying for them. The separation is very terrifying for children.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ How can parents help their children in a case like that? When that happens.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Getting them something symbolic like a little Angel or something they can hold on to. When they have a night terror, the parent can hand that to them and say, they’re right here. They’re still with you and telling them that makes it more real for them. It helps them to bring that back across the veil.&nbsp;</p><p>Alison ~ That’s comforting.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I remember my son went through that, my youngest son. He would just be screaming in the middle of the night at the top of his lungs, and it terrified my wife and I. We’d get him back to bed and settled down and the next morning, he didn’t remember any of it.</p><br><p>Alison ~ Same with us. We had the same thing. He never remembered it and it went on for a very long time. It was years. It was a scary thing.</p><br><p>Steve ~ So, it just terrifies the parents, and the kids are fine?</p><br><p>Alison ~ Pretty much. (laughter)</p><br><p>Thomas ~ They don’t remember if they don’t need to.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ It’s good that they don’t remember it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Can we intentionally astral travel in our dreams and remember?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ To an extent, yes. If you set that as your intent when you’re going to sleep. You will be permitted to remember as much as possible. Some things you can not bring back with you. They just do not belong in human existence.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, it almost doesn’t translate, to remember.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. But, if it’s your intent to travel and remember. You will be allowed to remember as much as you can.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Why do some people have that inclination to want to do that and maybe others don’t.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It’s a matter of the ones who don’t. Ego refuses to accept even the possibility. The ones who are interested enough to try it. Their ego has backed off enough that it admits that maybe this is possible. It’s willing to try.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What about flying dreams?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ That’s because you are.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ So, we’ve gone some place where it’s possible to fly.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Pretty much any place but earth. (laughter) Yeah. That’s what you’re experiencing. It’s really happening.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ It’s such an incredible feeling, when you wake up after a flying dream. It’s like I’ve done this wonderful thing!</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You’ve gotten outside your box. You’ve expanded your human boundaries.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ That’s so neat. So, what about bad dreams? How do we understand having a bad dream? Being chased. Someone’s gonna kill you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Your ego is what makes it bad. Your ego has enough awareness of it, to be frightened by it. Something chasing you. If that’s happening in a dream state. It’s only because it has a message for you. Ego is not very good at interpreting these different things that happen. So, it’s fearful. Something is chasing me. I must run.&nbsp; I must hide. I must be in danger.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, it’s our interpretation as we’re waking up from it. Sometimes, you wake up from a bad dream and you’re jolted out of your sleep.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It seems to you that you’re jolted but, it’s ego. Ego, while you’re in a dream state. While you’re flying around and doing all this. Ego can start to awaken but, you’re not right there, right that minute. Instantly, ego is terrified. When you slip back into yourself. Whatever you’re carrying or dreaming about. Ego interprets that in a negative way.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, it’s the ego lens.</p><br><p>Steve ~ Ego creates a negative story around it.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. Don’t go there again. Don’t do that again. It makes it unwelcome.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Is there anything else about dreams, it’s important for us to know?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It’s a good practice for humans to write down your dreams, as much as you can remember because, they fade quickly over time. Then you can look back on that. When you look back on what you wrote. Maybe a week ago or a month ago. However long it’s been. You’ll think, huh, that’s the answer to the question I was just thinking of. It’s like you already know it. It's been given to you. Dreams can provide a lot of useful information that maybe you don’t remember at the time. When you look back on your dreams. You will look back and understand and see a lot more than you did at the time.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Sounds good! Thank you!</p><br><p>Steve ~ Thank you Thomas!</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You’re welcome!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

There is no limit to where…you can take a vacation. You can go to planets and ride unicorns or fly with dragons. There’s no limit to what you can do. (laughter)</p><br><p>Alison ~ Can you place an order and say, I would like to fly with a dragon tonight?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ If in the process of going to sleep, you lay down and keep thinking that until you fall asleep, until your ego falls asleep. There’s a very good chance, that’s what you will experience. So, you can control your dreams.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ And yet the dreams we tend to remember are more earthly things that we’re doing.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Things that you can relate to, yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Like I have a lot of dreams about the different places I’ve worked. I’m working there again and somethings happening.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yeah. That’s keeping you tied into…that makes ego…if you came back and had all these dreams night after night of flying on dragons and riding unicorns and just being out there, every night. Ego would start to fear sleep. So, you need something ego can recognize to bring back with you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ You said a moment ago that we also get downloads. Can you talk about those?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ If you have…let’s make it simple. During the day, you’ve lost something and you’re trying to find it. You look and you look, and you can’t find it. In your dream state, you will find it and when you wake up, you’ll know. You will walk right to it. You’ll know exactly where it is. So, that information was given to you. If, during the day you’re expending a lot of energy trying to remember a past event or someone you knew and you’re having trouble with it. You can wake up the next day and have very clear memories of it. If, you’re trying to decide which way to go on something, a free will choice. You can wake up in the morning and have a certain or definite feeling of what you are going to do. And you know it’s right. You have no more doubts about it. They’ve vanished in the night, because you’ve been given information.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Do we talk with our guides during the night?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You can. You do. A lot of times they’re with you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ We know that sleep is important, to dream.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ For the body, yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ How much sleep is necessary for the average human?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Not nearly as much as you think. Three or four hours would be sufficient.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ I don’t think I would be a happy human on three or four hours. (laughter) I have some friends who can get by on four hours and they’re okay with that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ But you’re focused on, you’re trained for eight hours. That’s what you’re used to.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ I like eight hours.</p><br><p>Steve ~ I usually get nine.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ And that’s good.</p><br><p>Alison ~ We don’t have to have that much sleep. Three or four is sufficient.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You know, the more sleep you have. The more chance you have to travel, be and experience. If you sleep twenty hours per day, you’re not getting much of a human experience but, you’re still having fun. (laughter)</p><br><p>Alison ~ What about a power nap, where people can fall asleep for a few minutes and feel energized?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ If that’s their intent, the guides will take them to places where the energy and vibration is much higher. So, when they come back, they have that energy and they’re ready.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ That’s neat. So, sometimes here, in the office I’ve meditated just for a few moments. Then I realize, oh, I might have fallen asleep. There was a little blurp there in time. What’s that about? Is that a dream state?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It is, ego stepped back far enough for you to be able to leave.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ I didn’t remember it when I came back. It was a very short amount of time but, there was the benefit of feeling refreshed.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Energy boost. And it comes from your soul, not from a can.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ What happens when children have night terrors? So, they’re waking up in a dream state, not really awake yet. What’s happening there?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ What they’re experiencing there is the final separation from their guides. As they start to grow, and the veil starts to thicken for them, and they can’t see their guides. Then they go into a dream state and they do see their guides with them again, and they’re back there. But then they start moving back into wakefulness and they lose that connection. It’s terrifying for them. The separation is very terrifying for children.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ How can parents help their children in a case like that? When that happens.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Getting them something symbolic like a little Angel or something they can hold on to. When they have a night terror, the parent can hand that to them and say, they’re right here. They’re still with you and telling them that makes it more real for them. It helps them to bring that back across the veil.&nbsp;</p><p>Alison ~ That’s comforting.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I remember my son went through that, my youngest son. He would just be screaming in the middle of the night at the top of his lungs, and it terrified my wife and I. We’d get him back to bed and settled down and the next morning, he didn’t remember any of it.</p><br><p>Alison ~ Same with us. We had the same thing. He never remembered it and it went on for a very long time. It was years. It was a scary thing.</p><br><p>Steve ~ So, it just terrifies the parents, and the kids are fine?</p><br><p>Alison ~ Pretty much. (laughter)</p><br><p>Thomas ~ They don’t remember if they don’t need to.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ It’s good that they don’t remember it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Can we intentionally astral travel in our dreams and remember?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ To an extent, yes. If you set that as your intent when you’re going to sleep. You will be permitted to remember as much as possible. Some things you can not bring back with you. They just do not belong in human existence.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, it almost doesn’t translate, to remember.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. But, if it’s your intent to travel and remember. You will be allowed to remember as much as you can.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Why do some people have that inclination to want to do that and maybe others don’t.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It’s a matter of the ones who don’t. Ego refuses to accept even the possibility. The ones who are interested enough to try it. Their ego has backed off enough that it admits that maybe this is possible. It’s willing to try.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What about flying dreams?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ That’s because you are.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ So, we’ve gone some place where it’s possible to fly.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Pretty much any place but earth. (laughter) Yeah. That’s what you’re experiencing. It’s really happening.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ It’s such an incredible feeling, when you wake up after a flying dream. It’s like I’ve done this wonderful thing!</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You’ve gotten outside your box. You’ve expanded your human boundaries.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ That’s so neat. So, what about bad dreams? How do we understand having a bad dream? Being chased. Someone’s gonna kill you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Your ego is what makes it bad. Your ego has enough awareness of it, to be frightened by it. Something chasing you. If that’s happening in a dream state. It’s only because it has a message for you. Ego is not very good at interpreting these different things that happen. So, it’s fearful. Something is chasing me. I must run.&nbsp; I must hide. I must be in danger.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, it’s our interpretation as we’re waking up from it. Sometimes, you wake up from a bad dream and you’re jolted out of your sleep.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It seems to you that you’re jolted but, it’s ego. Ego, while you’re in a dream state. While you’re flying around and doing all this. Ego can start to awaken but, you’re not right there, right that minute. Instantly, ego is terrified. When you slip back into yourself. Whatever you’re carrying or dreaming about. Ego interprets that in a negative way.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, it’s the ego lens.</p><br><p>Steve ~ Ego creates a negative story around it.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. Don’t go there again. Don’t do that again. It makes it unwelcome.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Is there anything else about dreams, it’s important for us to know?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It’s a good practice for humans to write down your dreams, as much as you can remember because, they fade quickly over time. Then you can look back on that. When you look back on what you wrote. Maybe a week ago or a month ago. However long it’s been. You’ll think, huh, that’s the answer to the question I was just thinking of. It’s like you already know it. It's been given to you. Dreams can provide a lot of useful information that maybe you don’t remember at the time. When you look back on your dreams. You will look back and understand and see a lot more than you did at the time.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Sounds good! Thank you!</p><br><p>Steve ~ Thank you Thomas!</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You’re welcome!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>#11 Light Workers and Starseeds</strong></p><br><p>Steve ~ So Thomas, what is a Light Worker or a Starseed? What can you tell us about those?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ A Light Worker has had many lives as a human on earth. They are here to help others to awaken and lead them into the Light. And to help heal them. Starseeds have had very few, if any lives on earth as a human. They have come here to earth to provide assistance through the transition. To show others on earth how to get through this. What steps to take. What things need to be done, to guide them through the transition.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ We’ve talked about this many times and you’ve told me that I am a starseed.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.</p><br><p>Steve ~ And I’ve done many past life regressions. I’ve had a t least fifteen or twenty lives on the earth, that I’m aware of.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ But many more of those lives are on other planets.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I’ve regressed to some of those lives as well. They tend to feel really good as compared to the earthly lives which seem much more troublesome? (laughter)</p><br><p>Thomas ~ I think the big difference there is that on the other planets the veil was very thin. So, you were able to see and do a lot more and you had much more awareness. The veil on earth is very thick and very confining.</p><br><p>Alison ~ And it’s thick now. Has it always been this thick?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ No, it has been thickening consistently over the last few thousand years.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ For myself as a Light Worker, I feel like I have been in and out of this planet a long, long time. Everything about being a Light Worker resonates with me. I feel like I’ve been here, when the veil wasn’t so thick here.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You have, yes. Many people refer to a Light Worker as an old soul, because you’ve been here so many times. And you carry your wisdom forward with you, into your next life.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ How does someone know if they are a Light Worker or a Starseed? And is everyone one or the other?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Pretty much, you’re either or. The simplest way to tell, the easiest method is Starseeds from a very, very young age have been homesick. No matter where they are or what they’re doing, they experience home sickness and want to go home. Starseeds are harder to impress. (laughter)</p><br><p>Alison ~ Well when you’ve lived on other planets.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You put a man on the moon and Starseeds are like, “and so?” (laughter) They’ve seen it done. They’ve been to many other planets. Light Workers think, that’s a wonderful thing. We’re expanding. We put someone on the moon. We’re really advancing. They’re more impressed by it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And so with Light Workers, they help people find their own light but also with healing. A lot of people in the healing professions tend to be Light Workers.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. You’re aware of the energy and you have the ability to use it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Are there more Starseeds on the planet now?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ More than at any other time. Starseeds are bringing in knowledge of how to work beyond what your technology does. If you didn’t have all this technology, it would be hard to survive. Starseeds have knowledge about how to get things done in ways you have never seen.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Is it true that Starseeds wake up at some time when they are here and remember what they are here for?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ They do and they start becoming more open about it. They are doing more things. They start communicating with their home planets to get information.</p><br><p>Alison ~ I’m reminded as you say this that the concept of Starseeds is new. New in the last five years maybe. If you had said there were people getting in touch with their home planets before that. I would have said you were crazy! (laughter) Ego would have shut it right down. Now that I know a bunch of you Starseeds. I’m married to one. I get it now.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It’s important that they communicate with their home planets because, they came here to help. They have a mission. You need that information in order to do that. Your friends at home are calling you up and telling you. Don’t forget this.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Maybe you could explain that a little more, that we are not the only living species in the galaxy.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Let me ask you, if we, the Oneness, the Light were going to create all of these galaxies, would it make sense to create only one planet with life on it? In all of this space? (laughter) There is life out there. Everywhere!&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What are there, like a hundred billion stars in our galaxy and a hundred million galaxies in the universe? And there are other universes too!</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.</p><br><p>Steve ~ That would be crazy.</p><br><p>Alison ~ And there are other dimensions too! There is so much more!</p><br><p>Steve ~ Starseeds bring information that most humans don’t have. What else do they bring?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ When the starseeds start coming together, they start making things happen. They take action. They move things forward. Maybe you’ve been sitting and thinking that something needs to be done. Then you think, I know what needs to be done and this is the time to be doing it. Starseeds have that ability. It’s much easier for them.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I know it’s seems easier for me, when you’re telling us new information that might be hard for most people to believe. I seem to have an easier time believing it. It seems more possible to me.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Right.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I think that’s because of all those other lives I lived on other planets where so many things were different.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You know it’s possible. You’ve seen it. You’ve lived it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And the veil is thin enough for you or you’ve awakened enough that you’ve remembered. To me you have this openness of just trusting and knowing. Especially when things come through Thomas.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Yes, is that typical of most Starseeds? They have a faith or a trust?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. Most Starseeds, when they start remembering things and they hear what are new ideas. Once it settles in, they know it’s not a new idea. They’ve lived it. They believe it. They have the proof within themselves. So, it’s much easier for them.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ There is still awakening involved for both Starseeds and Light Workers. Remembering more and more of who we are. Those clients who never felt like they belonged. It makes so much sense now. They never really felt like part of that family.</p><br><p>Steve ~ Boy that’s true. I felt like an outsider my whole life.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And then Light Workers say, “they feel”. Reading people and feeling the energy.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ We’ve noticed, Alison and I, how we balance each other out.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Because, I want to go off like a rocket and do all these wonderful things and the group looks at me like, “what are you talking about?” (laughter)</p><br><p>Alison ~ You’ll jump like three steps ahead and I’ll go whoa, whoa, whoa! We need to see how everyone feels. We need to check in and make sure everyone’s on board. You can’t just do that! (laughter)</p><br><p>Thomas ~ That is so typical for Light Workers and Starseeds to act that way.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ So, it’s a really good balance when we’re running a group. If I go off, then Alison can calm things down.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ It’s funny. In my life and in my marriage, I’m around a lot of Starseeds.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Your knowledge as a Starseed will be coming in more and more. When it’s time. You’ve already started to do some healings, but you can heal in a big way! If you did that now, it would not go over very well. There would be a lot of medical professionals and insurance companies that would be trying to shut you down. One of the things, you are going to be doing and you will know how to do is to plant crops and have them ready to harvest within a matter of days. If you tried doing that now. There would be a lot of people who would be very upset with you. What do you think you’re doing?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ (sarcastically) You’re not in your box!</p><br><p>Alison ~ Right and that’s because we’re working in the collective. There is ascension happening. There is awakening happening in the collective.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Sedna is my Gatekeeper guide. She is deciding what is okay for me to know at this moment. Then as things progress, she will open the door a little wider.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. Can you imagine going to market every week with fresh vegetables, when everyone else is waiting for harvest? You would not be very popular.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I would be popular with the people buying and with the farmers, I would be unpopular.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ People who make the fertilizer would say, “you can do that unless you buy this.”&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Being a Light Worker does not mean that you haven’t had lives on other planets?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ No. Just that the majority of your lives have been on earth.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ To me they are still labels. It really doesn’t matter who we are. But it is helpful. As humans on the planet right now, it’s helpful why we might have this tendency or that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ I think it’s really helpful for people to know what they are. It’s actually quite amazing to tell someone that they are a Starseed. When they’ve spent their life feeling homesick or not fitting in. Now they understand and now it’s okay. No wonder I’m homesick. This isn’t home.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And you could have a mixture of Starseeds and Light Workers in a family.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Yeah, it’s interesting for me, I think at some point it became a badge of pride that I don’t fit in.&nbsp;</p><p>When you told me, I was a Starseed, I took even more pride in it. Oh, that’s why I’m different. I don’t just follow the rules. &nbsp; I’m not good at following the rules.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ When you started thinking it’s okay to be different. I’m glad I’m different. That’s when you were really starting to awaken as a Starseed. Like wow. I don’t want to fit in because this is not good. (laughter) As a Starseed, let’s say that you want gold. You don’t have to dig up the earth and go looking for it. You can make it. Whatever chemicals, crystals, jewels whatever. You know how to create them, without damaging (the environment).&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ How do you know what your children are?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Sometimes it’s more apparent than others. Sometimes it’s really clear. Until they start to awaken, it can be difficult to tell. If a child plays by themselves, likes to be alone, away from the crowd. They are probably a Starseed.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Into reading Sci-fi.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ That could be an indication, yeah.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I love things like Star Trek or space movies. I just don’t like that it’s always about war.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Right. Because you know it’s never about war.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I don’t get why it’s always about war.</p><br><p>Alison ~ And like you’ve said many times beings on other planets are not coming to conquer us, like we see in our movies. Right?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ No, they have no interest in that. They are only coming to help.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And so, in the Oneness, you’re not either (a Starseed or Light Worker). Right? When we choose to incarnate into a particular life, are we choosing to be a  Light Worker or a Starseed?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Not exactly, because if you choose more lives on earth as a human. You are creating yourself as a Light Worker. If you choose more lives on other planets. You are creating yourself as a Starseed.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Why would we choose one of those?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Depending on what you want to experience.</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, it’s more of a natural inclination of that part of consciousness and what it wants to experience?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. As a Light Worker, you keep choosing to come back to earth because you want to help others awaken, to spread the Light. That’s your mission to spread the Light. If you choose to be on other planets, you’re choosing to be where the veil is thinner, to do things in a way that is good for all. Not just for one species on the planet but for all the beings on the planet.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, as you talk about that, I’m remembering how we have soul families or spirits that we are aspects of. Do they tend to cluster in groups of Starseed or Light Work, type work?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ No, not necessarily.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Are there any other aspects of Starseeds and Light Workers that we want to cover right now?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ We should mention that sometimes humans won’t know what they are, even after they start awakening. It matters more to ego. If you know what you are, it can help to change your priorities. It can change what you focus on. What you do. If you know. But if you don’t know, then just do what you feel. It’s okay.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ It’s hard to put myself in the place of a soul or a spirit, who is deciding the next incarnation they should have. From a human perspective, it looks much more difficult to choose to live on the earth, as a human because of all the struggles humans go through. As opposed to being on another planet where there is no veil and there is access to the Oneness. There is more happiness. You don’t have to work or get sick. You don’t have to struggle. You know, a lot of things like that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ When you’re in the Light planning your next life – and this is going to be partially true for creating the New Earth as well – you don’t look at the different planets. You look at I want to incarnate into a place where people are only beginning to awaken. Where they are only now discovering, understanding. That’s going to put you on earth. If you want to live in a place where the beings all live as one. Where they are very much aware of the Light.&nbsp; That will put you some where else. You’re not looking so much at the place, as the experience. You’re taken to where you are most likely to experience that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And that’s our soul on the other side of the veil making that decision. Which is different from…</p><br><p>Steve ~ Very different…</p><br><p>Alison ~ Us as Alison, in my avatar and Steve in your avatar, in our personality ego (making that decision).&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ When you think of creating the New Earth, you won’t be thinking of what kind of house you’ll live in. You’ll think about how all being will live together in harmony. How will that work? That’s what you’re creating.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ I love that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Yeah.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ We’re looking forward to talking with you about that topic in a future podcast. Thank you Thomas!</p><br><p>Steve Thank you!</p><p>Thomas ~ Your're welcome!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><br><p>&nbsp;</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

I’ve had a t least fifteen or twenty lives on the earth, that I’m aware of.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ But many more of those lives are on other planets.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I’ve regressed to some of those lives as well. They tend to feel really good as compared to the earthly lives which seem much more troublesome? (laughter)</p><br><p>Thomas ~ I think the big difference there is that on the other planets the veil was very thin. So, you were able to see and do a lot more and you had much more awareness. The veil on earth is very thick and very confining.</p><br><p>Alison ~ And it’s thick now. Has it always been this thick?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ No, it has been thickening consistently over the last few thousand years.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ For myself as a Light Worker, I feel like I have been in and out of this planet a long, long time. Everything about being a Light Worker resonates with me. I feel like I’ve been here, when the veil wasn’t so thick here.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You have, yes. Many people refer to a Light Worker as an old soul, because you’ve been here so many times. And you carry your wisdom forward with you, into your next life.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ How does someone know if they are a Light Worker or a Starseed? And is everyone one or the other?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Pretty much, you’re either or. The simplest way to tell, the easiest method is Starseeds from a very, very young age have been homesick. No matter where they are or what they’re doing, they experience home sickness and want to go home. Starseeds are harder to impress. (laughter)</p><br><p>Alison ~ Well when you’ve lived on other planets.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You put a man on the moon and Starseeds are like, “and so?” (laughter) They’ve seen it done. They’ve been to many other planets. Light Workers think, that’s a wonderful thing. We’re expanding. We put someone on the moon. We’re really advancing. They’re more impressed by it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And so with Light Workers, they help people find their own light but also with healing. A lot of people in the healing professions tend to be Light Workers.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. You’re aware of the energy and you have the ability to use it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Are there more Starseeds on the planet now?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ More than at any other time. Starseeds are bringing in knowledge of how to work beyond what your technology does. If you didn’t have all this technology, it would be hard to survive. Starseeds have knowledge about how to get things done in ways you have never seen.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Is it true that Starseeds wake up at some time when they are here and remember what they are here for?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ They do and they start becoming more open about it. They are doing more things. They start communicating with their home planets to get information.</p><br><p>Alison ~ I’m reminded as you say this that the concept of Starseeds is new. New in the last five years maybe. If you had said there were people getting in touch with their home planets before that. I would have said you were crazy! (laughter) Ego would have shut it right down. Now that I know a bunch of you Starseeds. I’m married to one. I get it now.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It’s important that they communicate with their home planets because, they came here to help. They have a mission. You need that information in order to do that. Your friends at home are calling you up and telling you. Don’t forget this.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Maybe you could explain that a little more, that we are not the only living species in the galaxy.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Let me ask you, if we, the Oneness, the Light were going to create all of these galaxies, would it make sense to create only one planet with life on it? In all of this space? (laughter) There is life out there. Everywhere!&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What are there, like a hundred billion stars in our galaxy and a hundred million galaxies in the universe? And there are other universes too!</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.</p><br><p>Steve ~ That would be crazy.</p><br><p>Alison ~ And there are other dimensions too! There is so much more!</p><br><p>Steve ~ Starseeds bring information that most humans don’t have. What else do they bring?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ When the starseeds start coming together, they start making things happen. They take action. They move things forward. Maybe you’ve been sitting and thinking that something needs to be done. Then you think, I know what needs to be done and this is the time to be doing it. Starseeds have that ability. It’s much easier for them.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I know it’s seems easier for me, when you’re telling us new information that might be hard for most people to believe. I seem to have an easier time believing it. It seems more possible to me.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Right.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I think that’s because of all those other lives I lived on other planets where so many things were different.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You know it’s possible. You’ve seen it. You’ve lived it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And the veil is thin enough for you or you’ve awakened enough that you’ve remembered. To me you have this openness of just trusting and knowing. Especially when things come through Thomas.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Yes, is that typical of most Starseeds? They have a faith or a trust?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. Most Starseeds, when they start remembering things and they hear what are new ideas. Once it settles in, they know it’s not a new idea. They’ve lived it. They believe it. They have the proof within themselves. So, it’s much easier for them.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ There is still awakening involved for both Starseeds and Light Workers. Remembering more and more of who we are. Those clients who never felt like they belonged. It makes so much sense now. They never really felt like part of that family.</p><br><p>Steve ~ Boy that’s true. I felt like an outsider my whole life.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And then Light Workers say, “they feel”. Reading people and feeling the energy.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ We’ve noticed, Alison and I, how we balance each other out.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Because, I want to go off like a rocket and do all these wonderful things and the group looks at me like, “what are you talking about?” (laughter)</p><br><p>Alison ~ You’ll jump like three steps ahead and I’ll go whoa, whoa, whoa! We need to see how everyone feels. We need to check in and make sure everyone’s on board. You can’t just do that! (laughter)</p><br><p>Thomas ~ That is so typical for Light Workers and Starseeds to act that way.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ So, it’s a really good balance when we’re running a group. If I go off, then Alison can calm things down.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ It’s funny. In my life and in my marriage, I’m around a lot of Starseeds.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Your knowledge as a Starseed will be coming in more and more. When it’s time. You’ve already started to do some healings, but you can heal in a big way! If you did that now, it would not go over very well. There would be a lot of medical professionals and insurance companies that would be trying to shut you down. One of the things, you are going to be doing and you will know how to do is to plant crops and have them ready to harvest within a matter of days. If you tried doing that now. There would be a lot of people who would be very upset with you. What do you think you’re doing?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ (sarcastically) You’re not in your box!</p><br><p>Alison ~ Right and that’s because we’re working in the collective. There is ascension happening. There is awakening happening in the collective.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Sedna is my Gatekeeper guide. She is deciding what is okay for me to know at this moment. Then as things progress, she will open the door a little wider.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. Can you imagine going to market every week with fresh vegetables, when everyone else is waiting for harvest? You would not be very popular.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I would be popular with the people buying and with the farmers, I would be unpopular.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ People who make the fertilizer would say, “you can do that unless you buy this.”&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Being a Light Worker does not mean that you haven’t had lives on other planets?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ No. Just that the majority of your lives have been on earth.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ To me they are still labels. It really doesn’t matter who we are. But it is helpful. As humans on the planet right now, it’s helpful why we might have this tendency or that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ I think it’s really helpful for people to know what they are. It’s actually quite amazing to tell someone that they are a Starseed. When they’ve spent their life feeling homesick or not fitting in. Now they understand and now it’s okay. No wonder I’m homesick. This isn’t home.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And you could have a mixture of Starseeds and Light Workers in a family.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Yeah, it’s interesting for me, I think at some point it became a badge of pride that I don’t fit in.&nbsp;</p><p>When you told me, I was a Starseed, I took even more pride in it. Oh, that’s why I’m different. I don’t just follow the rules. &nbsp; I’m not good at following the rules.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ When you started thinking it’s okay to be different. I’m glad I’m different. That’s when you were really starting to awaken as a Starseed. Like wow. I don’t want to fit in because this is not good. (laughter) As a Starseed, let’s say that you want gold. You don’t have to dig up the earth and go looking for it. You can make it. Whatever chemicals, crystals, jewels whatever. You know how to create them, without damaging (the environment).&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ How do you know what your children are?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Sometimes it’s more apparent than others. Sometimes it’s really clear. Until they start to awaken, it can be difficult to tell. If a child plays by themselves, likes to be alone, away from the crowd. They are probably a Starseed.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Into reading Sci-fi.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ That could be an indication, yeah.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I love things like Star Trek or space movies. I just don’t like that it’s always about war.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Right. Because you know it’s never about war.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I don’t get why it’s always about war.</p><br><p>Alison ~ And like you’ve said many times beings on other planets are not coming to conquer us, like we see in our movies. Right?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ No, they have no interest in that. They are only coming to help.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And so, in the Oneness, you’re not either (a Starseed or Light Worker). Right? When we choose to incarnate into a particular life, are we choosing to be a  Light Worker or a Starseed?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Not exactly, because if you choose more lives on earth as a human. You are creating yourself as a Light Worker. If you choose more lives on other planets. You are creating yourself as a Starseed.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Why would we choose one of those?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Depending on what you want to experience.</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, it’s more of a natural inclination of that part of consciousness and what it wants to experience?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. As a Light Worker, you keep choosing to come back to earth because you want to help others awaken, to spread the Light. That’s your mission to spread the Light. If you choose to be on other planets, you’re choosing to be where the veil is thinner, to do things in a way that is good for all. Not just for one species on the planet but for all the beings on the planet.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, as you talk about that, I’m remembering how we have soul families or spirits that we are aspects of. Do they tend to cluster in groups of Starseed or Light Work, type work?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ No, not necessarily.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Are there any other aspects of Starseeds and Light Workers that we want to cover right now?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ We should mention that sometimes humans won’t know what they are, even after they start awakening. It matters more to ego. If you know what you are, it can help to change your priorities. It can change what you focus on. What you do. If you know. But if you don’t know, then just do what you feel. It’s okay.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ It’s hard to put myself in the place of a soul or a spirit, who is deciding the next incarnation they should have. From a human perspective, it looks much more difficult to choose to live on the earth, as a human because of all the struggles humans go through. As opposed to being on another planet where there is no veil and there is access to the Oneness. There is more happiness. You don’t have to work or get sick. You don’t have to struggle. You know, a lot of things like that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ When you’re in the Light planning your next life – and this is going to be partially true for creating the New Earth as well – you don’t look at the different planets. You look at I want to incarnate into a place where people are only beginning to awaken. Where they are only now discovering, understanding. That’s going to put you on earth. If you want to live in a place where the beings all live as one. Where they are very much aware of the Light.&nbsp; That will put you some where else. You’re not looking so much at the place, as the experience. You’re taken to where you are most likely to experience that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And that’s our soul on the other side of the veil making that decision. Which is different from…</p><br><p>Steve ~ Very different…</p><br><p>Alison ~ Us as Alison, in my avatar and Steve in your avatar, in our personality ego (making that decision).&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ When you think of creating the New Earth, you won’t be thinking of what kind of house you’ll live in. You’ll think about how all being will live together in harmony. How will that work? That’s what you’re creating.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ I love that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Yeah.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ We’re looking forward to talking with you about that topic in a future podcast. Thank you Thomas!</p><br><p>Steve Thank you!</p><p>Thomas ~ Your're welcome!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><br><p>&nbsp;</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Communicating with Spirit Guides - Part 2</strong></p><br><p>A: Thomas, how do you explain the concept of non-duality and the Oneness when it comes to us being human and working with Spirit Guides? Adyashanti said once, there is a quote, he asked his guide to take off his mask and he found he was looking at himself!</p><br><p>T: Right. It’s difficult for humans because humans have time and space limits that in reality do not exist. So while you have this human life and you’ve put yourself here, you’ve confined yourself. Part of you, many parts of you are in many other places doing different things. Having other existences, other lives. But in the confinement that you have made for yourself here, that is hard to for you to understand. If you are here you need to be 100% here. That is want humans want to be 100% and you’re not. You’re never, because you’re in the Oneness and the Oneness is everything and you are a part of everything. So you could never have 100% of you in one place.&nbsp;Because you’re part of everything you’re required to be everywhere. It is that simple. (Laughter)</p><br><p>A: Right? So in some ways we <em>are</em> spirit guides.</p><br><p>T: You definitely are, yes. While you are living this human life, parts of you are guiding others.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: And we’re living all the other incarnations that we experienced.</p><br><p>A: So they are concurrent lives.</p><br><p>T: Yes, nothing ever goes away.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: Because there is no time, it is all happening at the same time.</p><br><p>A: And right now in this awareness, our consciousness is focused on this certain dimension or plane of reality.</p><br><p>T: Right.</p><br><p>A: And in this one, we have guides, as we are speaking to you, a spirit guide through Maddie. (Yes) But in other existences we are spirit guides to others too. (Yes) Is this true for every human?&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: For every human, yes.</p><br><p>A: Wow. I bet some people would be surprised to learn that!</p><br><p>T: Laughs</p><br><p>S: So we can, under hypnosis or journeying, we can experience other incarnations that we’ve had. (yes) We can experience other incarnations on other planets (yes) We can experience other incarnations as spirit guides.</p><br><p>T: You can. Yes.&nbsp;When you experience these different things you’re moving through what you call time. You’re moving past that, outside of it. Because everything really is outside of time and space. So when you experience off-planet lives you’re moving outside of the place that you’ve confined yourself to.</p><br><p>S: Yeah it’s amazing because the rules are different. (Yes)</p><br><p>A: There is so much potential that we’re not even aware of.</p><br><p>S: Of the ways things could be.</p><br><p>A: Or what we can experience. We kind of put ourselves in this box of conditioned beliefs.</p><br><p>T: You have. Burt to be human that is necessary to do that, You need the boundaries. That makes you focus on certain things. You know if you come outside of that box completely and remove time and space, you’re not exactly human anymore. You have so much more capabilities, knowledge, that you really become something non-human.</p><br><p>A: And we are human. We chose in this existence in this reality or illusion, we chose to be human.</p><br><p>T: Yes.</p><br><p>A: And that is important to maintain, right?</p><br><p>T: Yes, that is what you wanted. So it is important that you do it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: And at the same time as we’re awakening it is important to realize what we really are in the bigger picture. That we are part of the Oneness, eternal beings.</p><br><p>T: Yes, so many humans don’t awaken at all. And they’re more fearful of dying because they don’t know what it is, they don’t know what happens, they waste a lot of energy on being afraid of something very natural, very positive, of coming back into the light. Their thoughts become very confused. They think this is all there is so you want to get as much of this as you can. You want more power, you want more recognition, more rewards for it, Because they don’t realize there is so much more out there, so much more available and that true freedom is when you have no power over anyone else.&nbsp;</p><br><p>It makes you free to be you. But they latch on to human ideas and they move away from that. That don’t ever seek. They don’t look for the light, they don’t, they just try to accumulate as much as they can.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: So becoming aware of all these different experiences that we have, on different planets and as spirit guides, will help us in moving from the 3rd dimension and into the 5th dimension. (Yes) As we go through the transition.</p><br><p>T: And it will make your human existence, much, much, more enjoyable. You know being a human and you’re struggling and things are happening and you’re going through something is difficult. If there is a part of you that is aware that this is all temporary and that there is so much more it becomes less traumatic for you. It becomes easier to cope with human things.</p><br><p>S: As we go through the transition, there are going to be things that will become possible that we didn’t think would be possible. (Yes) Things like that are already happening.</p><br><p>T: Yes they are. You’re already doing healings, communicating with guides and experiencing off-plant lives. You’re looking at your past lives, you’re able to do that, it is very real and you can do that. And you have a lot more knowledge and you’re moving forward, you really are thinning the veil. The further you go into the transition the thinner the veil becomes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: (Laughter) There are so many different ways we could go right now.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: We could go a lot of different ways now. (Laughter)</p><br><p>A: One of the things to follow up on from a couple of minutes ago is that some people may be surprised to learn that they are spirit guides in some other form or reality.&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: Initially they probably would be, but if you think of it, if you’re the Oneness, how could you not be?&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: Right. That is a concept of unity consciousness, that we are all of the One. All of one mind.</p><br><p>T: If you can communicate with a spirit guide, you know what that is like, what it feels like to you, what it does, why can not you do that for someone else? Why wouldn’t you?</p><br><p>S: It makes a lot of sense.</p><br><p>A: Yeah and I think sometimes in our culture people believe oh, I have to ascend or work through karma and pay my dues and then in the next life I could do that. There is all these time space continuums.&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: Right.</p><br><p>S: And that is the myth that humans create. That we have to go through this epic struggle that we have to accomplish things to be something of any importances. Whereas we already are.</p><br><p>T: You already are. But to humans if it comes easily, it is not valuable, you have to pay something for it. Whether it is working for it or suffering through something you have to earn it. You already are.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: I AM.</p><br><p>T: Exactly.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S &amp; A:&nbsp;Thank you Thomas.</p><br><p>T: You’re welcome</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

They don’t look for the light, they don’t, they just try to accumulate as much as they can.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: So becoming aware of all these different experiences that we have, on different planets and as spirit guides, will help us in moving from the 3rd dimension and into the 5th dimension. (Yes) As we go through the transition.</p><br><p>T: And it will make your human existence, much, much, more enjoyable. You know being a human and you’re struggling and things are happening and you’re going through something is difficult. If there is a part of you that is aware that this is all temporary and that there is so much more it becomes less traumatic for you. It becomes easier to cope with human things.</p><br><p>S: As we go through the transition, there are going to be things that will become possible that we didn’t think would be possible. (Yes) Things like that are already happening.</p><br><p>T: Yes they are. You’re already doing healings, communicating with guides and experiencing off-plant lives. You’re looking at your past lives, you’re able to do that, it is very real and you can do that. And you have a lot more knowledge and you’re moving forward, you really are thinning the veil. The further you go into the transition the thinner the veil becomes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: (Laughter) There are so many different ways we could go right now.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: We could go a lot of different ways now. (Laughter)</p><br><p>A: One of the things to follow up on from a couple of minutes ago is that some people may be surprised to learn that they are spirit guides in some other form or reality.&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: Initially they probably would be, but if you think of it, if you’re the Oneness, how could you not be?&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: Right. That is a concept of unity consciousness, that we are all of the One. All of one mind.</p><br><p>T: If you can communicate with a spirit guide, you know what that is like, what it feels like to you, what it does, why can not you do that for someone else? Why wouldn’t you?</p><br><p>S: It makes a lot of sense.</p><br><p>A: Yeah and I think sometimes in our culture people believe oh, I have to ascend or work through karma and pay my dues and then in the next life I could do that. There is all these time space continuums.&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: Right.</p><br><p>S: And that is the myth that humans create. That we have to go through this epic struggle that we have to accomplish things to be something of any importances. Whereas we already are.</p><br><p>T: You already are. But to humans if it comes easily, it is not valuable, you have to pay something for it. Whether it is working for it or suffering through something you have to earn it. You already are.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: I AM.</p><br><p>T: Exactly.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S &amp; A:&nbsp;Thank you Thomas.</p><br><p>T: You’re welcome</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>9. What are the chakras?</strong></p><p>Steve ~ Thomas, can you tell us about the chakras in the body?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ There are different points within the human body. They have the ability to open up and allow more Light to come in or to come through you. Frequently with humans the chakras get bogged down or blocked, simply by living day to day and being caught up in being human and not paying attention to them. So, it’s helpful to periodically focus on them, do a clearing on them. Then letting them open and bring more Light in. It can really help you advance.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ For someone listening to this, why don’t you talk about where the chakras are and how they would clear them.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ There are a few basic ones that all humans agree upon that exist. At the top of your head, your throat, your stomach, your heart but, there is really over thirty. To clear them, if you sit quietly and close your eyes and focus on one at a time. Picture it being cleaned off, dusted away, cleared and then the Light becoming brighter in it. And you will see and feel how that responds in the body. What you notice from that. Then do each of them in turn. Sometimes, if you haven’t done it before and you don’t feel it’s working. You can go to…there are several people specialize in doing this and helping (clear your chakras). So, you can go to them and ask for help.</p><br><p>Steve ~ Reiki Masters.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes, Reiki Masters. They can help you do it. Your guides can help you do it. Often times though, if it needs to be done, you’re going to have difficulty connecting with your guides. Once you do they can help a lot but it can be very difficult to make that happen. Going outside (to a Reiki Master) at least until you get them all cleared. You know what it feels like. What to expect. Then you’re more able to do it yourself. Or to call your guides in to help.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, you don’t need to know where all thirty are?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ No.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Cause I would need you to draw a chart. (laughter) Cause we have them above our body, through our body and below in a vertical. But then also, the field goes out horizontally too, right?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes, and if you sit and just quietly imagine. Ask your body where they are. You may hear an answer from your body, but you will feel parts of your body heat up. Like, your elbow may seem very, very warm to you. You’ll know that’s a center for you. Cause your body will tell you. If you ask, your body will respond and tell you where they are.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Do the chakras have different functions? Is it important to know what those are?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Basically, they affect the area that is closest to them. So, your throat would affect your speech. Being able to communicate. So, if you open that your words will flow more smoothly. That’s how they act. They affect the area immediately around them.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What about the crown chakra, what does that do?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It affects what’s above you. It calls it in. And what is above you, is your guides. They’re there watching and waiting. So, you’re calling them in. You’re calling the Light.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I know when I call in energy, I feel it come in through my crown. And what about the third eye chakra?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ That opens you up. It increases your intuition. You see and understand a lot more.</p><br><p>Alison ~ I feel that and to me the crown is also the higher self?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.</p><br><p>Alison ~ And then third eye is a little ore like sight. It enables you to see what is there.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I often feel energy in my third eye.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Something you should be looking at.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ In addition to the chakras, we also have our aura, our etheric body, the elemental body, the physical body, can you talk about those?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It’s all energy. You are composed of energy. And it’s constantly changing. Energy is always in motion. Your aura, it reflects, really on an emotional level, what your energy is doing. If you are very upset about something. It’s going to be dark. But if you’re feeling very connected and relaxed and happy, it will be more golden, more peaceful. And it changes as you do.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ So, it’s like a mood ring!</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Exactly! (laughter)&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And you can see it on people. Sometimes you can almost sense and see it on people.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. You do that. Everyone does that without realizing it. In a crowd, you can definitely tell when someone is really angry. You can sense it before they even speak or anything. You will sense that energy coming off of them.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What about the other types of bodies that we have? Is it important to know about them?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Not really because, they’re all energy. They are all working together. And they’re all making you, you. But you is not a rigid being. You change. You’re not the same as you were last week. Or ten years ago. You’re constantly changing. And that’s what helps you to do it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ I know for myself and a lot of other people are this way and maybe everyone. The greatest pick me up is to be out in nature. So, I feel like to go outside and to be in nature helps my body adjust, clear energy.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. Can you talk about that or why that is?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ One thing, nature will almost attack negative energy. So, if you go out in nature and you’re feeling very upset something. Nature herself is going to come at you and clear that away from you. And heal you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ That’s why to me, walking in the woods or walking to a body of water if you can is very healing, clearing.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Nature loves it when things flow. So, when she sees something that isn’t. She rushes in to fix that. It’s very healing, very energizing.</p><br><p>Steve ~ There was a two- or three-year period where I went to see two Reiki Masters. They would work on me for about an hour. During that hour, all three of us would see different things in our minds. Different guides or different scenes. It was very interesting. At the end of each hour, we would sit there and tell each other what we saw. Can you talk about what that was?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ When you’re doing that. You’re allowing someone else to move your energy around. It requires no effort on your part. So, you are able to experience, whatever energy chooses to bring into you. By them doing it, they experience because, by moving your energy. It changes your energy. So, you all become more open and receptive. You’re able to receive the gifts of experiencing.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I really enjoyed that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Like a mini vacation.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ They offer it in some hospitals before surgery.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ The overall medical profession is becoming more open to it. We are seeing more and more; they are making it a part of their offerings. They’re starting to admit that it works. It changes things.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Thank you Thomas!</p><br><p>Steve ~ Thank you!</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You're welcome!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Who and What is God?</strong></p><br><p>A: Thomas, can you tell us about God? Who is and what is God?</p><br><p>T: God is the Oneness. He’s everything. Humans break him down into different terms, whatever they can handle, whatever meets their needs. But God is the Oneness. It is everything.</p><br><p>A: So he/she&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: Is there gender to God?</p><br><p>T: No - only in certain humans’ minds</p><br><p>A: It shows up in different cultures based on the religion of a culture.</p><br><p>T: Right. However it is to be helpful. God is everything. In human terms, working through God, with God, things are so obvious and simple. And still a miracle.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: So when you’re in the light, and you’re in the Oneness where you and all of the Guides are then there is no difference then, you are God?</p><br><p>T: No, in the Oneness I am not God. But God could not be without me. God is so much more than I am. There is this, in the light, there is this sense that this big, powerful, wonderful being is encompassing us all and in charge of everything.&nbsp;When we step back and break it down and look at it, we see it is us, it is the Oneness that is God. You can be in it and still feel very separate part of it.</p><br><p>A: Is God also consciousness? Is that the same or different than God?</p><br><p>T: I would say different. Consciousness implies more of a knowing. And God does many things unknowingly.</p><br><p>S: Is there a certain number of spiritual beings that make up the Oneness or God?</p><br><p>T:&nbsp;All of us.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: So does the number of spiritual beings change or is it constant?&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: It is always changing. Because as humans come back into the light, it changes. And there are beings from the light going out at the same time so the number is constantly changing, Because when you come back to the light you are part&nbsp;of that Oneness.</p><br><p>S: Are there ever new spiritual beings being added?</p><br><p>T: In concept, yes, frequently. Being like the ones that you deem to be saints, like Mother Theresa, is. a new one. So yes, we are always adding to.</p><br><p>A: So God is not as many of us were taught, this male being who does or doesn’t, who takes a life or spares a life or - a lot of that is based on religious beliefs.</p><br><p>T: Right it is not like that at all.</p><br><p>A: In many ways we are like God, we’re aspects of God (yes), and we have a connection as that expressions.</p><br><p>T: Yes, you have the light. So that makes you part of it.</p><br><p>S: That is such a wonderful concept to learn. That we are part of God.</p><br><p>T: One of the, it could be a very powerful meditation, to meditate and picture yourself as a small child and you’re sitting on God’s lap. And that’s it. Just you sitting on God’s lap. And that can help you understand more - what God is.</p><br><p>S: Maddie has talked about doing that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: She’s done it several times, yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: When we say, I always like the Bible verse, “Be still and know I am God”, the way I was raised that is attributed to Jesus?</p><br><p>T: Yes</p><br><p>A: To me that exemplifies his work as a healer in accessing his God consciousness. The I AM through him. My father and I are one. That he portrayed that in his life.</p><br><p>T: Even in the wording you use, I AM God.</p><br><p>A: Exactly. That is why the “I AM” to me, that is what it embodies. Because anything we say after it we put into our reality.</p><br><p>T: RIght, you limit it.</p><br><p>A: Exactly. It could be “I AM wonderful or I AM sick…” or I AM an artist or a writer, whatever or “I AM not well”, we immediately create.</p><br><p>T: Yes, when you do that you are immediately creating. But when you say I AM. You are simply being.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: And that is the God principal or God Course that is within us.</p><br><p>T: Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: What about with creation. Is God the only one who creates? Or can a group of spiritual beings create? How does that work?</p><br><p>T: Groups can create. Individuals can create. In the groups that you do, you create energy. And you determine what to do with that energy. Where it is going, how it is being used. You’re creating. Things are always being created.</p><br><p>S: Maddie has talked about going on journeys where she’s in a class where they are creating planters and stars. (laughter)</p><br><p>T: It is very much like a classroom when she went there. Like they were drawing and picturing. IT was quite a process to watch, it’s quite interesting.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: I did an off planet regression with someone who went to a planet where the beings were like Barney the dinosaur and what they did was make stars. They gathered the materials to make stars. That is a pretty neat job.</p><p>T: Everything you seem someone made that happen.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: What do you say about when people pray to God?</p><br><p>T: It can be very effective because where they do that they are consciously opening themselves up.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p><strong>Who and What is God?</strong></p><br><p>A: Thomas, can you tell us about God? Who is and what is God?</p><br><p>T: God is the Oneness. He’s everything. Humans break him down into different terms, whatever they can handle, whatever meets their needs. But God is the Oneness. It is everything.</p><br><p>A: So he/she&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: Is there gender to God?</p><br><p>T: No - only in certain humans’ minds</p><br><p>A: It shows up in different cultures based on the religion of a culture.</p><br><p>T: Right. However it is to be helpful. God is everything. In human terms, working through God, with God, things are so obvious and simple. And still a miracle.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: So when you’re in the light, and you’re in the Oneness where you and all of the Guides are then there is no difference then, you are God?</p><br><p>T: No, in the Oneness I am not God. But God could not be without me. God is so much more than I am. There is this, in the light, there is this sense that this big, powerful, wonderful being is encompassing us all and in charge of everything.&nbsp;When we step back and break it down and look at it, we see it is us, it is the Oneness that is God. You can be in it and still feel very separate part of it.</p><br><p>A: Is God also consciousness? Is that the same or different than God?</p><br><p>T: I would say different. Consciousness implies more of a knowing. And God does many things unknowingly.</p><br><p>S: Is there a certain number of spiritual beings that make up the Oneness or God?</p><br><p>T:&nbsp;All of us.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: So does the number of spiritual beings change or is it constant?&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: It is always changing. Because as humans come back into the light, it changes. And there are beings from the light going out at the same time so the number is constantly changing, Because when you come back to the light you are part&nbsp;of that Oneness.</p><br><p>S: Are there ever new spiritual beings being added?</p><br><p>T: In concept, yes, frequently. Being like the ones that you deem to be saints, like Mother Theresa, is. a new one. So yes, we are always adding to.</p><br><p>A: So God is not as many of us were taught, this male being who does or doesn’t, who takes a life or spares a life or - a lot of that is based on religious beliefs.</p><br><p>T: Right it is not like that at all.</p><br><p>A: In many ways we are like God, we’re aspects of God (yes), and we have a connection as that expressions.</p><br><p>T: Yes, you have the light. So that makes you part of it.</p><br><p>S: That is such a wonderful concept to learn. That we are part of God.</p><br><p>T: One of the, it could be a very powerful meditation, to meditate and picture yourself as a small child and you’re sitting on God’s lap. And that’s it. Just you sitting on God’s lap. And that can help you understand more - what God is.</p><br><p>S: Maddie has talked about doing that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: She’s done it several times, yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: When we say, I always like the Bible verse, “Be still and know I am God”, the way I was raised that is attributed to Jesus?</p><br><p>T: Yes</p><br><p>A: To me that exemplifies his work as a healer in accessing his God consciousness. The I AM through him. My father and I are one. That he portrayed that in his life.</p><br><p>T: Even in the wording you use, I AM God.</p><br><p>A: Exactly. That is why the “I AM” to me, that is what it embodies. Because anything we say after it we put into our reality.</p><br><p>T: RIght, you limit it.</p><br><p>A: Exactly. It could be “I AM wonderful or I AM sick…” or I AM an artist or a writer, whatever or “I AM not well”, we immediately create.</p><br><p>T: Yes, when you do that you are immediately creating. But when you say I AM. You are simply being.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: And that is the God principal or God Course that is within us.</p><br><p>T: Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: What about with creation. Is God the only one who creates? Or can a group of spiritual beings create? How does that work?</p><br><p>T: Groups can create. Individuals can create. In the groups that you do, you create energy. And you determine what to do with that energy. Where it is going, how it is being used. You’re creating. Things are always being created.</p><br><p>S: Maddie has talked about going on journeys where she’s in a class where they are creating planters and stars. (laughter)</p><br><p>T: It is very much like a classroom when she went there. Like they were drawing and picturing. IT was quite a process to watch, it’s quite interesting.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: I did an off planet regression with someone who went to a planet where the beings were like Barney the dinosaur and what they did was make stars. They gathered the materials to make stars. That is a pretty neat job.</p><p>T: Everything you seem someone made that happen.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: What do you say about when people pray to God?</p><br><p>T: It can be very effective because where they do that they are consciously opening themselves up. And calling to the Light. So it can be very effective. So much of dealing with the spiritual world is simply a matter of opening yourself up and letting it happen. Because they are all around and they are waiting for that invitation.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: Is Elohim, did that mean God?</p><br><p>T: I suppose to some it could, but overall, no.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: Is it another being of some kind or a guide?</p><br><p>T: It is really a combination of beings.</p><br><p>A: Like energy?</p><br><p>T: It’s calling in a certain energy to create a not really a presence but an energy combined of several different energies.</p><br><p>A: Is there a purpose?

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Kinds of Spiritual Beings - Angels, Arch Angels, Ascended Master?</strong></p><br><p>Steve, “Thomas, what other spiritual beings are there besides spirit guides?”&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas, “Angels, archangels, masters, - that’s a human name for them - gods and goddesses. I think a lot of what humas would consider spiritual beings, like faeries, are part of the spiritual world in that everything is part of the spiritual world. But faeries are very earthly.”</p><br><p>Alison, “So, not necessarily mythical beings? Because they’re real.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Yes, they are real.”</p><br><p>Alison, “I think of them as mythical, made up, faerie tales.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Most of the mythical beings are real.”</p><br><p>Steve, “So, they are in carnations. They’re not spiritual beings.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Yes.”</p><br><p>Steve, “What about Spirit Animals?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Definitely. Yes, they’re guides. They’re up here in the Light, part of us.”</p><br><p>Alison, “Can you talk more about mythical beings? When you say they’re real, can you name a few?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Unicorns are real. Leprechauns are real. Faeries.”</p><br><p>Steve, with mystery, “Dragons!” (laughter)</p><br><p>Thomas, “Very real!”</p><br><p>Alison, “We have a lot of dragon people in our groups.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Pegasus. Almost any mythical being you can name.”</p><br><p>Alison, “I have trouble believing that it’s real because I haven’t seen it. Why is that?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Ego has no frame to put it in. If you asked your ego, tell me about China. There’s not much because having not experienced it. There’s not much to reference there.”</p><br><p>Alison, “Somehow I’ve learned along the way to believe China is real. It’s our standard education, right? I would like to see these beings, but we have been trained somehow to not see them.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Right, and they’ve been trained to hide from you. Humans were dangerous to them. They’re still here. They’re all around but, they choose to be hidden. That’s changing though, the more humans awaken and become one with the Light, the braver these beings are becoming. They are realizing that you’re not as dangerous as you used to be. While not all humans would accept them, there are some humans who would not pose any risk.”</p><br><p>Alison, “So, that’s why they’ve had to stay hidden because it came to a time when people were harmful to them?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Yes, for their own safety.”</p><br><p>Steve, “So, with spiritual beings, what is the difference between them?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Spirit Guides and the Archangels have lived human lives. Angels have never lived as a human. They have never been that far or that long outside the Light.”</p><br><p>Steve, “Have Angels ever incarnated as any other kind of being?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “No.”</p><br><p>Alison, “Do they serve different roles?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “They are mostly messengers, or they come to bring comfort. Many times, when humans are in situations that are not good and they are all alone, Angels will come to them. &nbsp; They will comfort them and help them survive whatever they are going through. A lot of Angels are messengers. They come down to deliver and message and then they come home again.”</p><br><p>Alison, “So, messengers and protectors.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Right.”</p><br><p>Alison, “Some people will say an Angel came down and stopped a car accident. Are they allowed to work through us in a different way than the other guides?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Yes. They are. It is easier for them to make themselves known to you. Angels come for a very limited time. You will never see them for more than a few minutes at a time. They come and go. They deliver the message. They comfort you through whatever you are going through. Then they’re gone again.”</p><br><p>Alison, “So, humans don’t have a particular Angel, the way they do a Life Guide?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “It’s in such a different way, they are always watching you and can be there in the blink of an eye. But they’re not with you in the same way that the guides are. The guides travel with you and are more a part of you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison, “What about Archangels? You said they’re guides, they’re not Angels.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “But they’ve had human lives. It’s really a title that human’s have put them on. The benefit to that is that they are more recognized. Therefore, more accepted.”</p><br><p>Alison, “Different guides will show up in a way that is most accessible for the person to receive them.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Yes.”</p><br><p>Alison, “So in certain cultures and traditions they’ll show up … like in Christianity they will show up as Jesus. In another part of the world, they might show up as a being that their ego will best accept?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Because you are already familiar with that person. So, it makes it easier for you to accept and welcome them.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison, “Cause it’s really – I think I’ve heard this from you before – the Light and energy from this being. So, in a way it’s almost archetypal energy. Like we would say Archangel Michael or Jesus an energetic archetype being. Is that correct?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “And when you do that. When you call them by name. You are calling forth a certain energy. It’s energy that you are comfortable with and familiar with. It could be more effective for humans … for example. Michael is a great healer. So for humans, when you want healing call on Michael. Because that’s his reputation among humans. Whereas St. Christopher, a lot of humans think if you’re traveling, you want St. Christopher because he’ll keep you safe. We know it doesn’t matter who you call on. It doesn’t matter if you don’t even call a name, if you just call for help. We can all do the same thing. But it will be more effective for you, if you already have preset ideas about what that guide can do and how they will appear.”</p><br><p>Steve, “So, if we have faith that a certain spiritual being can help us more or is better at it, then it makes it more reliable for us.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Yes.”</p><br><p>Steve, “So, our ego doesn’t get in the way so much.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Because you already have that belief. You’ve already opened a door for them to come in. So, it happens more easily.”</p><br><p>Alison, “So, some people will have a name of a spiritual guide and some people won’t and that doesn’t matter as long as they’re connecting.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “They’re getting the same energy so.”</p><br><p>Alison, “And Ascended Masters are created as well? What is the difference between Archangels and Ascended Masters?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “People think they have been around longer. So, they have more knowledge and are great teachers. They give them that title. Some of them, when they were human. They were great teachers. So, they already had that recognition. It’s just been continued for them. In reality, in the Light, there are no teachers because everyone has all knowledge. There is nothing to teach.”</p><br><p>Alison, “So, all beings in the Light have the same access to the same information.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Right. We’re all in the Oneness. We are the Oneness.”</p><br><p>Steve, “Really, when we are calling on an Ascended Master, we’re talking about one incarnation of that spirit.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “It’s a reputation that carries on. Take Jesus. He was a great teacher, when he was in human form. But even when he came back to the Light, there are still many following him, so he is still teaching. So, that’s continued. It doesn’t stop, just because the physical body does.”</p><br><p>Steve, “Yes.”</p><br><p>Alison, “When people who know his history, call upon him, they call on his Light. And everything he embodied with that.”</p><br><p>Steve, “Which is much more than he embodied as a human.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Yes.”</p><br><p>Alison, “What can e do to see more of these spiritual beings? It feels like we feel them for sure but what about when people want to see them? Or the mythical beings or the Faeries?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Just ask them. But then you have to open yourself up to it and you have to be looking for it. If you ask them to show themselves. Then you have to be willing to see them.”</p><br><p>Steve, “Your ego has to be willing to see it.”</p><br><p>Allison, “We talked about this. You can see them out of the corner of your eye but how quickly are we to say. Oh, I just made that up? Ego shuts it right down.”</p><br><p>Steve, “I remember I saw the nose of a dragon, when I was driving down the highway in the passing lane and then it was gone. One time I saw a cloud in the shape of a dragon. The detail was amazing. It was incredible, how much it looked like a dragon.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “When you see something off to the side. Just say hello.”</p><br><p>Alison, “And that will help us to open up and really see.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “It will slow them down, if you say hello. So, you can get a good look at them.”</p><br><p>Alison, “Are all spiritual beings from the Light?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Originally, yes. That’s where they all belong.”</p><br><p>Alison, “Thank you!”</p><br><p>Steve, “Thank you!”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Your welcome!”</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

But then you have to open yourself up to it and you have to be looking for it. If you ask them to show themselves. Then you have to be willing to see them.”</p><br><p>Steve, “Your ego has to be willing to see it.”</p><br><p>Allison, “We talked about this. You can see them out of the corner of your eye but how quickly are we to say. Oh, I just made that up? Ego shuts it right down.”</p><br><p>Steve, “I remember I saw the nose of a dragon, when I was driving down the highway in the passing lane and then it was gone. One time I saw a cloud in the shape of a dragon. The detail was amazing. It was incredible, how much it looked like a dragon.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “When you see something off to the side. Just say hello.”</p><br><p>Alison, “And that will help us to open up and really see.”</p><br><p>Thomas, “It will slow them down, if you say hello. So, you can get a good look at them.”</p><br><p>Alison, “Are all spiritual beings from the Light?”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Originally, yes. That’s where they all belong.”</p><br><p>Alison, “Thank you!”</p><br><p>Steve, “Thank you!”</p><br><p>Thomas, “Your welcome!”</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is our purpose here as a human being?</strong></p><br><p>Steve ~ So Thomas, as human beings, what is our purpose in being here?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Your purpose is to experience. Not to learn anything. Not to accomplish anything but, simply to experience life as a human.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ When you first told me that, it was one of the hardest things to wrap my head around because, I think as humans it is so engrained in us to always try to learn and grow. We think that’s what life is all about. So, why is it that experiencing is really what is important?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Because in the Light there is nothing to learn. You have all knowledge. So, when you plan your life and when you plan to become human and have this experience. There are certain things that you put in there that you want to experience. So, maybe you could say that is your purpose, to fulfill your life plan. When you become human, even if you don’t fulfill everything you had planned that you thought you were going to. You’re still getting the experience. That’s really why you’re here.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Why is experience important to a spirit?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ To keep the Light stronger. There are some that have chosen to go from the Light and be in darkness. The Light wants to bring them home. We miss them. They are part of us. So, by experiencing, it gives you physical feelings and a way to relate to the darkness, in order to help it. And bring it back home again.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, we choose to be here. We come into experience. So, we don’t have to have necessarily a purpose. T’s not about ascending or reaching a certain stage. Because we get to choose whatever we want to experience, light or darkness?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You do. It’s all up to you what you choose. Regardless of what you choose, you’re coming back home to the Light. When you’re finished here. It doesn’t matter what you accomplish or don’t accomplish, experience or don’t experience. For some humans, that have a very strong feeling that they have a definite purpose. That is really coming from…in their planning, they had a goal that was very important to them, that they wanted to meet, during this lifetime. So, that becomes your purpose.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Do they choose that goal?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ In the planning, yes. Absolutely, yes!&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Can you talk a little bit more about what that looks like?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ When you’re planning your human existence. You decide everything about you. Your characteristics. Your personality. And you bring that all with you. You choose what part of the planet you want to live on. How long you want to live. Who you want to live around. That’s all part of your choice. And so, you bring that with you. Then when you get here, and you forget your great plan. You become humanized and put into the box. You become conditioned to this is what you must think. This is what they do. This is how you behave. It becomes more of a struggle for you to remember and reach the goals you set for yourself.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, in some ways you could say, we are from the Oneness. We are the Oneness. We are consciousness expressing itself through an aspect of consciousness. I am Alison in my humanness experiencing. At some point before I came in here, I chose to have this experience. To be an expression of consciousness.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And then it’s all about remembering the Light within and who we are. And where we came from. So, we have access to this knowledge. We’ve just forgotten.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ As a human you don’t have access to all of it. But you can obtain a lot of it. Also, once you become human and you’re making choices and having forgotten your goals. You may not be at all, on the path you thought you would be on. Because you made different choices once you got here.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ That’s because we have free will.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.</p><br><p>Steve ~ And staying on our path or the goals we chose for ourselves before we came here. I would think then that our awakening makes it more likely that we’ll achieve those goals.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It is a definite step on putting you back on your path and keeping you there. Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And do our guides help us? Do they help us stay on our path?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. When you wonder off. Your guides will nudge you back. You know, send you little reminders. A lot of times that comes through as being presented an opportunity, that you hadn’t considered. But you choose to take that anyway. And that is your guide, showing you the way back.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So Thomas, if there is no purpose. Why do we have such a strong feeling at times, asking ourselves what our purpose is? Where is that coming from within us?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Probably from your soul. Your soul is like, if there is no purpose, why can’t I be in the Light? Why can’t I go back? But it knows it’s not time to come back yet. So, therefore, there must be a purpose and that is your soul looking for that. Looking for the way home. It’s almost like your soul is saying, what do I have to do, so I can go home? What is it I need to accomplish?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And yet we chose to be here and we’re here for a reason, to experience.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ And you’re saying that our goals and our path are different than our purpose. Because you’re saying there is no purpose but, we do have a path and we do have goals. So, what’s the difference between those two?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Your goals are your desires. What you wanted. What you look for. Your path is what you designed to get you from being born human, all the way back into the Light. A purpose, there is none. Because you’re coming back. It doesn’t matter what you do or do not do. You’re coming back into the Light, when this is over for you. There is no purpose for you being here and yet here you are.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ So, is it ego then that sees us as having a purpose?&nbsp;</p><p>Thomas ~ Yes. And ego needs a purpose. It needs a direction to go in.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What would be some examples of egos purpose?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Let’s say you’re young a teenager. Ego wants to drive, to have a car and drive. That is the purpose. So, ego does things like takes driver’s ed and learn how to reach that purpose. Ego may decide it wants to be a schoolteacher. And so, will work towards that and take whatever steps are necessary. Ego always has a purpose. Once it reaches that purpose, it will design something further out. So, it’s always going forward and looking to do something more. If you were to say to ego, okay, you’re not going to go any farther. You’re not going to learn anymore. You’re not going to make anymore money. You’re not going to travel again. You’re just going to be right here and that’s it. There’s nothing else for you to do. Ego would die. Ego needs something to keep it going.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Whereas, I would think, soul could find something to entertain itself. It could go on journeys.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Soul is very patient. Soul wants to come back into the Light but, soul knows it will. When it’s time. That might be two years. It might be twenty years. It doesn’t matter to soul.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, soul knows it doesn’t necessarily have a purpose in the way we think of purpose, on the planet. Soul’s purpose is more…to me, it’s more content in being. The interconnectedness, love and joining with people. It has compassion and empathy.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Soul’s purpose would be more like; did you see that flower come up through the dirt? Did you see that bird? It’s more the presence, the direct… and soul is more concerned about things, it has no influence over.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Or accomplishing things?</p><br><p>Alison ~ Because that’s ego, right? Achievement?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. Ego gets satisfaction from completing a difficult assignment or a course. Soul gets satisfaction from watching the grass grow.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ You could almost say that our purpose here is to live in soul. Or could it be to remember who we are? That Light? Say nope, it’s about experiencing! (laughter)</p><br><p>Thomas ~ And it really isn’t bout that because so many people don’t. They don’t awaken. They don’t…they just live a human life and come back to the Light.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, we get to choose what we want to experience. Which you have been saying.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. (laughter)</p><br><p>Alison ~ Thank you!</p><br><p>Steve ~ Thank you!&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You're welcome!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>How can we communicate with our Guides? Part 1</strong></p><br><p>Steve ~ Thomas, do we all have guides that watch over us?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Absolutely. Everyone comes with a team of guides that you’ve worked with that will stay with you, comfort, protect and guide you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ How do we communicate with these guides?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Mostly by opening yourself up and wanting to communicate. The guides are there. They are in place. They’re ready. They are waiting for you to invite them and acknowledge them. So, the more that you acknowledge a guide, the stronger your relationship becomes and the easier the communication is.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ You’ve told us in the past that just waking up in the morning and welcoming them, saying hello …</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. A lot of people find it helpful in the beginning to focus on one guide only. Say hello to that one and ask that one questions. Ask it questions even if you don’t hear and answer. Keep doing it anyway and over time you will find that you got the answer. Maybe not vocally but in some other way. But by focusing first on one guide, you get to know what it feels like when that guide is with you. When you are comfortable with that then you can bring in other guides. You can work with more and more.</p><br><p>Steve ~ The most common thing I hear when I ask people to connect with their guides is, “I think I’m making this up.” What would you say to someone who thinks that?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ The question itself is coming from ego. So, I would say, but isn’t it fun and doesn’t it feel good. That will make ego realize that there is no harm coming from this. If it does feel good, then it’s okay to do it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What kinds of guides can humans have?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You have your life guide who we’ve talked about that is with you from your first breath to your very last breath and will come home with you. You have a gatekeeper guide. Everyone does, that has your memories. Because when you become human, you forget so much. Your gatekeeper guide has all of your memories and brings them to you at predetermined times. What you need to remember. What will be useful for you. This is very useful so that you don’t become overwhelmed. If you had a guide that gave you all your memories, you would spend the rest of your human life trying to sort them out. So, your gatekeeper brings you only what you’re ready for and only what you need.&nbsp;</p><br><p>There are guides that will be with you at certain times, maybe when there is a certain experience you’re going through. There are guides that will come and go in your life. They maybe with you for a while, move off and then come back to you later. Humans don’t often think of animals as spirit guides, but they are. Every human has an animal spirit guide. You may have several animals that are guides. It’s common to have them at a young age, then leave and come back to you later in your life. If you look at your pets or animals, if you really look you will recognize that they are back.&nbsp;</p><p>There are guides that come along to show you possibilities, different options that you have. But still giving you the free will to make a choice. There are angels that come to comfort you or protect you from a specific event. Once that has passed, they will go. But you have many guides that come and go throughout your life. When you start communicating with your guides, you have the ability to call on any guide you choose to speak to. You are not limited in any way.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Is it true that guides show themselves in a way that is most easily received depending on what the person’s spiritual beliefs are, or the culture they live in?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It’s the way you receive them, they are all the same guides.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, if someone is raised in a Christian belief system, they might want to talk with Jesus.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Or if they were Native American there could be many different guides that they communicate with frequently. There are several groups around the planet that are raised and taught about guides from an early age and taught how to communicate with them.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Is there a way to find out what your spirit animal is? I’ve had people ask that before.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You can ask your life guide who your spirit animal is. There are Shamans that can bring you a spirit animal guide or retrieve one for you. You can set the intent, that you want to know your animal guide. Then be watchful and generally if you see he same animal three times within a twenty-four-hour period of setting your intent, that will be your guide. They will keep showing themselves to you.</p><br><p>Steve ~ I’ve also heard that if an animal bites you when you’re young that it could be a sign that the animal is your Totem Animal. Is that true?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.</p><br><p>Alison ~ Nice welcome! (laughter)</p><br><p>Steve ~ When I was four or five years old, I caught a turtle. I put it in a bucket. The next morning, I went out and stuck my hand in without looking and it bit hold of my finger. Turtle is my main animal guide or Animal Totem.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. And he will remain so throughout your life.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What about the way that guides appear to us when we’re first meeting them. It seems like there are different forms they might take depending on what’s comfortable for us.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ There are several different forms and it’s what you react to because guides will try different things until they finally get your attention. Some people hear them speaking very clearly. Some people see colors. Some may have a feeling like a hand on your shoulder or something. Some people will smell a scent and know their guide is with them. And some will actually see the guide in form. So, there are different ways. If you’re not picking up on it, they will try something else. Sometimes a guide will come to you through a knowing. You will ask a guide a question and you’ll receive the knowing. So, even if you can’t hear or see, you know the guide is there.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What about other forms? Some people have Faeries or Mythical Beings come to them.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Faeries aren’t really guides. People that see them … faeries are playful, and they like to show you new things. So, when people can actually see faeries it means that the veil is thinning for them, they are making it work. Everything they’re doing is having an effect. With mythical beings, they aren’t guides but the more you work with your guides, the greater your ability to see them or interact with them.</p><br><p>Alison ~ I think you’ve told us this before, but have guides all had human incarnations? I know angels have not.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ They have not all been in human form, but they have all been in some form, as a being. A large portion of them have had at least one human life but not all of them, it’s not necessary.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And there’s no hierarchy, correct? In the Oneness where you all reside, so to speak.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ We’re all the same. We have the same knowledge, the same capabilities. It’s humans that distinguish between us and put us in different groups.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ In classic movies, like with Clarence in a Wonderful Life, he’s earning his wings. But he was a novice angel, helping George Bailey, but it doesn’t work that way.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You don’t have to earn your wings. You can have wings if you want them. (laughter) When you come into the Light.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Is there anything else about spirit guides you would like to share with us today?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ When people first start communicating with them a lot of times, they don’t understand the message. It doesn’t make sense to them. Tell your guide that. Tell them you don’t understand, and they will rephrase it or represent it so that you do understand. Don’t ever feel like you’re bothering them or asking too many questions, that is why we’re here. Anytime you don’t understand, speak up and say so. It’s okay.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ I remember one of the first times you spoke with me, you said so many humans go their whole life and never speak with their guides. So, when a human does speak with a guide, it really excites them and makes them happy. That was such a wonderful thing to hear.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ And remember, when you talk to your guides, you’re in control. If you don’t ask for just one, you may be overwhelmed, and you can get so many messages at one time. Because when we get an invitation, we’re there. So, once you get to know your guides, it’s best to ask for which one you want.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ And like you said, start off with one guide, build a relationship and move on from there.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Then you can tell the difference.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p><strong>How can we communicate with our Guides? Part 1</strong></p><br><p>Steve ~ Thomas, do we all have guides that watch over us?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Absolutely. Everyone comes with a team of guides that you’ve worked with that will stay with you, comfort, protect and guide you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ How do we communicate with these guides?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Mostly by opening yourself up and wanting to communicate. The guides are there. They are in place. They’re ready. They are waiting for you to invite them and acknowledge them. So, the more that you acknowledge a guide, the stronger your relationship becomes and the easier the communication is.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ You’ve told us in the past that just waking up in the morning and welcoming them, saying hello …</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. A lot of people find it helpful in the beginning to focus on one guide only. Say hello to that one and ask that one questions. Ask it questions even if you don’t hear and answer. Keep doing it anyway and over time you will find that you got the answer. Maybe not vocally but in some other way. But by focusing first on one guide, you get to know what it feels like when that guide is with you. When you are comfortable with that then you can bring in other guides. You can work with more and more.</p><br><p>Steve ~ The most common thing I hear when I ask people to connect with their guides is, “I think I’m making this up.” What would you say to someone who thinks that?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ The question itself is coming from ego. So, I would say, but isn’t it fun and doesn’t it feel good. That will make ego realize that there is no harm coming from this. If it does feel good, then it’s okay to do it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What kinds of guides can humans have?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You have your life guide who we’ve talked about that is with you from your first breath to your very last breath and will come home with you. You have a gatekeeper guide. Everyone does, that has your memories. Because when you become human, you forget so much. Your gatekeeper guide has all of your memories and brings them to you at predetermined times. What you need to remember. What will be useful for you. This is very useful so that you don’t become overwhelmed. If you had a guide that gave you all your memories, you would spend the rest of your human life trying to sort them out. So, your gatekeeper brings you only what you’re ready for and only what you need.&nbsp;</p><br><p>There are guides that will be with you at certain times, maybe when there is a certain experience you’re going through. There are guides that will come and go in your life. They maybe with you for a while, move off and then come back to you later. Humans don’t often think of animals as spirit guides, but they are. Every human has an animal spirit guide. You may have several animals that are guides. It’s common to have them at a young age, then leave and come back to you later in your life. If you look at your pets or animals, if you really look you will recognize that they are back.&nbsp;</p><p>There are guides that come along to show you possibilities, different options that you have. But still giving you the free will to make a choice. There are angels that come to comfort you or protect you from a specific event. Once that has passed, they will go. But you have many guides that come and go throughout your life. When you start communicating with your guides, you have the ability to call on any guide you choose to speak to. You are not limited in any way.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Is it true that guides show themselves in a way that is most easily received depending on what the person’s spiritual beliefs are, or the culture they live in?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It’s the way you receive them, they are all the same guides.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, if someone is raised in a Christian belief system, they might want to talk with Jesus.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Or if they were Native American there could be many different guides that they communicate with frequently. There are several groups around the planet that are raised and taught about guides from an early age and taught how to communicate with them.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Is there a way to find out what your spirit animal is? I’ve had people ask that before.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You can ask your life guide who your spirit animal is. There are Shamans that can bring you a spirit animal guide or retrieve one for you. You can set the intent, that you want to know your animal guide. Then be watchful and generally if you see he same animal three times within a twenty-four-hour period of setting your intent, that will be your guide. They will keep showing themselves to you.</p><br><p>Steve ~ I’ve also heard that if an animal bites you when you’re young that it could be a sign that the animal is your Totem Animal. Is that true?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.</p><br><p>Alison ~ Nice welcome! (laughter)</p><br><p>Steve ~ When I was four or five years old, I caught a turtle. I put it in a bucket. The next morning, I went out and stuck my hand in without looking and it bit hold of my finger. Turtle is my main animal guide or Animal Totem.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. And he will remain so throughout your life.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What about the way that guides appear to us when we’re first meeting them.

So, when people can actually see faeries it means that the veil is thinning for them, they are making it work. Everything they’re doing is having an effect.

I know angels have not.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ They have not all been in human form, but they have all been in some form, as a being.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>How so we clear and protect ourselves?</strong></p><br><p>S: Thomas do we need to clear and protect ourselves?</p><br><p>T: Absolutely, you do.&nbsp;Yes. Unless you’re very isolated and have no contact with the outside you know, stay in your own place, you definitely need to clear and protect. If you’re been out in an area when there is a lot of negative energy, and I don’t mean like a war or riots. Even something as simple as being around people who are complaining or just having a bad day and you’re around it and hearing it. You are picking up that energy. When you get away from that, when you get home and away from it, brush yourself off physically, From head to toe and move that energy away from you. Once you’ve done that focus your energy on the light within. And ask that to protect you and it will. If you’re out and about around other humans, you cannot help but pick up on that energy. &nbsp;</p><br><p>A: We have energy fields that extend past out beyond where our body ends, right?</p><br><p>T: Right.</p><br><p>A: And that comes into interaction with others and that is how we pick it up, right?</p><br><p>T: Right. And even if you’re across the room or quite a distance and you hear someone yell in an angry manner? That energy has touched you. It is now within you and a part of you. You need to get rid of that. You don’t know who or what it is or why. But it doesn’t have anything to do with you. You don’t need to hang on to it so let it go.&nbsp;</p><br><p>When you sense within yourself and this is bigger, ok? That something isn’t right, that something is definitely off, then you might need to call in your guides to help clear that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>I’ll keep calling it negative energy. But it can be many different things. It can be dark spirits, earth bound spirits, whatever it is, it doesn’t belong to you. So you need to bring in your guides and ask them to look and see and help clear away anything that isn’t yours. And it can be something as simple as, if you’ve been in relationship with someone and you break up and it’s not a good break up and there a lots of hurt feelings. You may still have parts of that person that you’re carrying. So in working with you Guides, they’ll come in and clear that energy away. They’ll take those parts that are not yours and put them back to where they belong. And then they will cleanse you with the light and then wrap you in a golden light to protect you. Anytime, even if you are not aware that you’ve been or you know how it is when you are in a group of humans? You’ll hear something you’re realizing you’re hearing it. It can still affect you.&nbsp;So it is good to do that.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: Some people are more sensitive to that and more aware of that than others.</p><br><p>T: Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: Sometimes, back before Covid when we could go out the dinner, I could be aware of other tables and hearing people, not wanting to really, but reading body language. There is just a lot going on that we can pick up. So this is about keeping ourselves clear, healed in a way, and our light bright.</p><br><p>T: Yes. That frees you up to work on your light and communicating with your guides and to work on receiving the gifts that are being brought to you.</p><br><p>S: What about things like watching tv or listening to the radio, watching the news, horror movies. How do things like that effect us</p><br><p>T: In the same way, You pick up so much negative energy. Your soul recognizes the energy not so much as the source of it, so it doesn’t know where it is coming from, the radio, or tv or live person, that energy is coming into your space. You don’t want it.</p><br><p>A: I think it is common with people who are in the healing professions to know about clearing and brushing off. Before and after clients and in between sessions. But what you’re speaking of is so universal. It is everyone, they need to keep their energy clear. No matter what their work environment or being out in the world.</p><br><p>T: You can do a clearing on yourself when and if you’ve been around others. As you’re doing it say to yourself, you’re not mine, get away from me, back off, anything to move it away from you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>You have enough of your own stuff to carry around.</p><br><p>S: What about protection? Is there anything else we should do to protect ourselves other than clearing?</p><br><p>T: Working and asking your Guides daily, maybe when you wake up in the morning say good morning to your guides and ask them, protect me through out the day. Especially if you know you’re going into a situation you know where there is going to be negative energy, ask your guides to walk with you and to protect you from that and they will.</p><br><p>S: I know when I”m working with a client and I find out they have an earth bound spirit attached to them, I always ask for extra protection to make sure they don’t attach to me.</p><br><p>T: Yes, that is very helpful. Even working with clients that maybe don’t have an earth bound spirit, you’re still dealing with a lot of negative energy. They have a lot of memories they may have negative feelings about. You tend to forget then you realize oh wait, that is not my energy, Move it around and away.</p><br><p>A: I don’t think everyone is aware of that invisible realm the energy fields. (RIght) I don’t think they realize there is the light and all the way from bright light to negative energy that is around us.</p><br><p>T:&nbsp;A lot of them aren’t but they are still effected by it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: That is why it is so important to clear and protect ourselves. It is so easy to forget.</p><br><p>T: It is. A lot of times people will find themselves sitting back and thinking what is wrong with me why do I feel so angry or hurt or sad or whatever. Then you think or wait that is not me.</p><br><p>A: We can clear ourselves right then instead of calling the doctor or taking some medicine.&nbsp;I often say that to dear ones when they are trying to figure out a problem and they are busy, busy and I might suggest, probably the best thing you could do right now is meditate and go within. And they say, no, I’m too busy for that!&nbsp;(haha)</p><br><p>T: Right yes. That is where your strength is. That is where your power lies and that is where the answers are.When you go within and you’re experiencing something like that you realize not everything is for you to fix. Just because you see it doesn’t make it yours.</p><br><p>S: What about music? How does music affect us?</p><br><p>T: It opens you up. So if you’re paying attention to when you’re opening up, how are you feeling? It tells you what the music is doing to you. A lot of humans think rock and roll or heavy metal or different types of music are bad. They don’t necessarily have to be. They’re creating energy and it’s up to you what kind of energy that is. You can make it positive energy or you can make it negative energy, it is up to you how you receive it.</p><br><p>S: So it’s more important how you receive it than how the people are creating the music, what they are projecting.&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: Right</p><br><p>A: So there is a song that I love and I remember sharing it with you (to Steve) called, “The Sounds of Silence” by a band called Disturbed. They played it live on the Conan Show. He sang it, and to me, it was so powerful and he built it up and up and to me, I heard passion. RIght? (yes) and I love how it makes me feel. And I played it for you and you heard it differently. You heard that he was angry.</p><br><p>S: I heard anger, yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: It effected us in totally different ways.</p><br><p>T: Yes, it is how you receive it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: It’s not right or wrong, or good or bad, it is just different what we’re hearing.</p><br><p>S: It could be the mood you are in at the time. You could react differently at different times the same piece of music at different times.</p><br><p>A: We can choose to listen to different kinds of music at different times because it is more about how we want to feel.</p><br><p>S: Definitely.&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: Some people would just take the name of the band and immediately start thinking negatively, So whatever they hear will affect them negatively.</p><br><p>A: Is there anything else about clearing and protection? I love how we ended up talking about music. (Laughter)</p><br><p>T: Anytime something doesn’t feel right to you, try doing a clearing. Ask your guides to help. If it doesn’t go away, then it is something that does belong to you. Something that you need to work on and deal with. But you won’t know that until you try and clear.</p><br><p>A &amp; S : Thank you, Thomas.&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: Your’e welcome.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

(RIght) I don’t think they realize there is the light and all the way from bright light to negative energy that is around us.</p><br><p>T:&nbsp;A lot of them aren’t but they are still effected by it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: That is why it is so important to clear and protect ourselves. It is so easy to forget.</p><br><p>T: It is. A lot of times people will find themselves sitting back and thinking what is wrong with me why do I feel so angry or hurt or sad or whatever. Then you think or wait that is not me.</p><br><p>A: We can clear ourselves right then instead of calling the doctor or taking some medicine.&nbsp;I often say that to dear ones when they are trying to figure out a problem and they are busy, busy and I might suggest, probably the best thing you could do right now is meditate and go within. And they say, no, I’m too busy for that!&nbsp;(haha)</p><br><p>T: Right yes. That is where your strength is. That is where your power lies and that is where the answers are.When you go within and you’re experiencing something like that you realize not everything is for you to fix. Just because you see it doesn’t make it yours.</p><br><p>S: What about music? How does music affect us?</p><br><p>T: It opens you up. So if you’re paying attention to when you’re opening up, how are you feeling? It tells you what the music is doing to you. A lot of humans think rock and roll or heavy metal or different types of music are bad. They don’t necessarily have to be. They’re creating energy and it’s up to you what kind of energy that is. You can make it positive energy or you can make it negative energy, it is up to you how you receive it.</p><br><p>S: So it’s more important how you receive it than how the people are creating the music, what they are projecting.&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: Right</p><br><p>A: So there is a song that I love and I remember sharing it with you (to Steve) called, “The Sounds of Silence” by a band called Disturbed. They played it live on the Conan Show. He sang it, and to me, it was so powerful and he built it up and up and to me, I heard passion. RIght? (yes) and I love how it makes me feel. And I played it for you and you heard it differently. You heard that he was angry.</p><br><p>S: I heard anger, yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: It effected us in totally different ways.</p><br><p>T: Yes, it is how you receive it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A: It’s not right or wrong, or good or bad, it is just different what we’re hearing.</p><br><p>S: It could be the mood you are in at the time. You could react differently at different times the same piece of music at different times.</p><br><p>A: We can choose to listen to different kinds of music at different times because it is more about how we want to feel.</p><br><p>S: Definitely.&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: Some people would just take the name of the band and immediately start thinking negatively, So whatever they hear will affect them negatively.</p><br><p>A: Is there anything else about clearing and protection? I love how we ended up talking about music. (Laughter)</p><br><p>T: Anytime something doesn’t feel right to you, try doing a clearing. Ask your guides to help. If it doesn’t go away, then it is something that does belong to you. Something that you need to work on and deal with. But you won’t know that until you try and clear.</p><br><p>A &amp; S : Thank you, Thomas.&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: Your’e welcome.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is the difference of being in Ego and Soul?</strong></p><br><p>Alison ~ Thomas, can you tell us the difference between being in ego and soul?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ When you are in soul, you are in the Light. When you are in ego, you are in human form. You are more attentive to human concerns. Ego lives much more separated from the Light. Soul is never far from the Light. The Light is always within reach. Your ego becomes so concerned with being human that it isn’t aware of the light.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And yet we need ego to survive.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You do. Yes. Ego is what gives you your free will, which is important for you to be able to experience in your life as a human. If your soul was to have free will, it would say, “I want back into the Light. I want back into the Oneness. Forget this human stuff. It’s cold and lonely and I don’t like it. Ego keeps you here and on your path of being human. That’s what its job is. It’s very protective of you. That’s why as you start to awaken, it can be very frightening for ego. Because it sees things ego cannot understand, cannot feel.&nbsp;It wants to turn away from that. As much as being human can be cold and lonely and harsh, that is familiar to ego and ego knows how to respond and how to be in that way.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So, as people awaken, they live more in soul, is that correct?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Not initially, in the beginning for many people as they start to awaken it’s very, very frightening. Because as their soul starts to awaken, what they are feeling is their soul missing something and they haven’t moved into the Light. So, they don’t know what it is that they are missing. This is where a lot of people are diagnosed with different mental illnesses, depression and things, because they’re going through this and they don’t understand it. But the more you move into it and the more aware you are that it is the Light, the happier you are. The more at peace you will be. The more excited to be exploring that part of you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ What are some ways that we can go from being in ego to being in soul? Can you talk about what it feels like to be in ego compared to being in soul?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Being in ego is very demanding. When you’re in ego, you’re focused on, do I have enough food? Do I have enough clothes? Do I have the right kind of clothes? Do I drive the right car? Is my house big enough? Those type of human things. When you’re in soul, you’re more like, the earth feels good on my bare feet. The sun feels good on my face. Or that bird singing sounds wonderful. Those are the things you are focused on when you are in soul. When you are in soul, it doesn’t matter if you have enough food. Because if you aren’t hungry it doesn’t matter. It only matters when you become hungry. Soul doesn’t care what kind of car you drive or if you drive at all. It doesn’t make any difference. Soul can be very happy and very content without that. Ego needs more of the material things that make it human. Soul could let go of all the material things and be very happy. Very content.</p><br><p>Alison ~ There are some spiritual traditions that focus on erasing the ego or transcending the ego and yet we need it to survive, to be human. So, it seems that we need to find ways to work with it. We talk in our groups about befriending the ego. How do you see that?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It is very good if you can love your ego and recognize the important job that it is doing to protect you and keep you human, to keep you in the box that has been designed for you. That’s important. So, recognizing that and loving ego for doing that will allow soul to do more exploring. The more that you do that, ego will come to enjoy when soul is doing well and doing more things in soul. Ego will never come to fully understand it or be completely in soul, in that way. But it will become a lot more understanding and willing to give up that time for soul. Ego doesn’t like surprises. Let ego know, I’m going to meditate for thirty minutes and I’m going to talk with my spirit guides. So, now ego knows what you’re doing. It may not understand it. It may not see any purpose in it. Okay thirty minutes. I have thirty minutes I can spare. So, it’s not troubling to ego at all. Whereas if you just go and start meditating and don’t come back for an hour. Ego is going to be in a panic, when you come back. Where are going? What are you doing? What is happening?</p><br><p>Alison ~ You said recently if ego is happy you can do more things or how did you say it?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ You can be more in the Light.</p><br><p>Alison ~ More free. You can relax more into what you really are.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ I remember early on, I got to a point where I was in soul more of the time. I looked back and pointed out to ego how our life was better since being in soul more. That we were happier. I think that helped ego to think it is better to be in soul.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. Remember that ego experiences a lot of fear around what soul is doing. There’s a lot of not understanding, not being able to do it. When you come back to the Light. Ego is not coming with you and ego understands that. So, it’s frightening for ego to see soul doing things like this.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ I did a weeklong spiritual retreat a couple of years ago. When you first get there, you can hear the mind, right. When you’re with all these other people day in and day out. At first, I noticed my ego mind going when are they gonna ring the bell? When is dinner?&nbsp;How do I get this or that? All of the dos. I remember meditating on this little deck and there was an Adirondack chair. I remember having ego sit in the chair. Just sit here. You can relax in the sun and just sit. It was so helpful for me to compartmentalize like that. Over time ego quieted way down and settled into the retreat. It felt so great. I was so much more in soul and so much less concerned with that busy mind. Sometimes, I think of ego as being those busy mind thoughts too.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.</p><br><p>Alison ~ Oh, that’s just my ego. Since you and I, Steve have been working on it, it’s so comforting to think oh, that’s just ego.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Ego has been given so many things to keep track of and remember. It takes care of all of your material things and all of your human things. And it has to remember that and focus on all of them, all of the time. It’s nearly impossible for ego to sit back and be quiet. Oh, I still have to do this and this. I need to get that taken care of and don’t forget about doing this. There’s always something.</p><br><p>Alison ~ Our society, in America anyway feeds ego. We’re in an ego laden society.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Definitely yes! And ego will do it to itself. Oh, I have an hour, well I could take on this assignment. I could volunteer for that. It does it to itself.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ I think ego too is focused more on separation, right and wrong, good or bad, better than vs less than. Hierarchy because of that survival instinct.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. Ego thinks a lot of times, if I’m not doing anything, if I’m not busy, I’m not being useful. If I’m not useful, I will be replaced. I will lose something and so it will strive to fill that space.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ And soul is more unity focused, more about the Oneness. It’s a we vs me.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ How about animals or other beings, do they have egos? Or is that just for humans?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Humans certainly have the largest egos. Animals have some, not a lot. They’re more in soul. Plants have very little ego. Humans have the biggest egos. How about domesticated animals’ vs wild animals?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ They have bigger egos.</p><br><p>Alison ~ Because they learn from humans.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. (laughter) They do tricks to get treats. They do things to please humans instead of doing what they want.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Is there anything else about ego and soul, you want us to know?&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Keep in mind that you are going to go through this human life with ego and soul. So, the more you work on them working together, the more peaceful existence you will have.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Thank you Thomas!</p><br><p>Steve ~ Thank you!</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Your welcome!</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is the Light and what is Awakening?</strong></p><br><p>Alison ~ Thomas can you please tell us what you mean when you say the Light?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ The Light is the Oneness. That is where everything comes from and where everything goes back to. You are from the Oneness. It is easy for humans to feel separated or to feel like you are in control of different things but in reality, even though you are here, living a human life and doing human things, you are still part of the Oneness. This is only a temporary journey for you, being human. You’re coming home again, back into the Light, into the Oneness where you belong.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So the Light is where we came from and where we’re going. I always think of heart. Putting my hand up here to the Light, that connection to the Oneness that is always within us.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes, it can seem far away. It can seem non-existent, because you are human, and you have egos. You’ve been conditioned to believe certain things. And so the Light can become very foreign to you and very hidden in your human existence, but it is still there.&nbsp;</p><p>Steve ~ What is it like to be in the Light?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It is so difficult to describe in human terms. It is so loving and so complete. In the Light, you have all knowledge. There is nothing that you don’t know or don’t remember. Everything fits together and you are such a strong part of it and you feel that. You feel very important in the Oneness, because it’s where you belong. It’s where you are. It takes all of us to make the Oneness.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Are the terms the Light, the Oneness and the Spirit World are they all synonymous?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ They all mean the same place, yes. And it’s a wonderful place, very beautiful.</p><br><p>Alison ~ When a human awakens to their Light and opens to their Light, what does that look like to you?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ We see their Light. It starts to burn brighter. It starts becoming more intense. So, we can see that they’re working towards it. At that time, when that happens, more guides will start moving into that individual. Moving closer to help them with the process of awakening.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Who are the beings that live in the Light?</p><p>Thomas ~ Spirit Guides, Angels, Archangels, Gods, Goddesses, humans are in the Light. You just don’t know it. You’re not as aware of it.</p><br><p>Alison ~ We’re in the Light but yet in our 3-D reality, right now, we are not aware of it but we are still connected.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Right, yes. It’s almost like going out on a sunny day but you have coated yourself from the Light to protect yourself from it, which humans have been conditioned to do with the Light.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Is that part of being human? Are you talking about the forgetting?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Not specifically but that is a part of it. To be human, takes so much of your focus. And with your ego and your free will, you have taken away so much of the Light.

They have a greater understanding of things around them. They feel more connected. They look at their environment as being a part of them and them being a part of it. They realize the importance of all beings working together.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Nature, the planet, Mother Earth…</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It’s like they find their place and they feel really comfortable there. They understand so much more.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ To me too. There is more unity, more oneness, more non-duality. Meaning that we’re not separate from things. It’s more encompassing, rather than right, wrong and judgment.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Because, a lot of the human things that you value, lose their value and you change. You see what really is important and what really does matter to you. So, you are better able to work with others who are doing the same thing. There’s not so much competition or sense of power or any of that. We’re all in this together.</p><br><p>Alison ~ And you see the beauty of that, the interconnectedness.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes. It’s very, very rewarding!&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Thank you!</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is the Light and what is Awakening?</strong></p><br><p>Alison ~ Thomas can you please tell us what you mean when you say the Light?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ The Light is the Oneness. That is where everything comes from and where everything goes back to. You are from the Oneness. It is easy for humans to feel separated or to feel like you are in control of different things but in reality, even though you are here, living a human life and doing human things, you are still part of the Oneness. This is only a temporary journey for you, being human. You’re coming home again, back into the Light, into the Oneness where you belong.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ So the Light is where we came from and where we’re going. I always think of heart. Putting my hand up here to the Light, that connection to the Oneness that is always within us.</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Yes, it can seem far away. It can seem non-existent, because you are human, and you have egos. You’ve been conditioned to believe certain things. And so the Light can become very foreign to you and very hidden in your human existence, but it is still there.&nbsp;</p><p>Steve ~ What is it like to be in the Light?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ It is so difficult to describe in human terms. It is so loving and so complete. In the Light, you have all knowledge. There is nothing that you don’t know or don’t remember. Everything fits together and you are such a strong part of it and you feel that. You feel very important in the Oneness, because it’s where you belong. It’s where you are. It takes all of us to make the Oneness.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Are the terms the Light, the Oneness and the Spirit World are they all synonymous?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ They all mean the same place, yes. And it’s a wonderful place, very beautiful.</p><br><p>Alison ~ When a human awakens to their Light and opens to their Light, what does that look like to you?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ We see their Light. It starts to burn brighter. It starts becoming more intense. So, we can see that they’re working towards it. At that time, when that happens, more guides will start moving into that individual. Moving closer to help them with the process of awakening.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ Who are the beings that live in the Light?</p><p>Thomas ~ Spirit Guides, Angels, Archangels, Gods, Goddesses, humans are in the Light. You just don’t know it. You’re not as aware of it.</p><br><p>Alison ~ We’re in the Light but yet in our 3-D reality, right now, we are not aware of it but we are still connected.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Right, yes. It’s almost like going out on a sunny day but you have coated yourself from the Light to protect yourself from it, which humans have been conditioned to do with the Light.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison ~ Is that part of being human? Are you talking about the forgetting?</p><br><p>Thomas ~ Not specifically but that is a part of it. To be human, takes so much of your focus. And with your ego and your free will, you have taken away so much of the Light. If that closeness of still being in the Light was still available to you, you would not be human, because you would come home to the Light. So, it’s necessary to block a large portion of it, while you’re human.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve ~ So, I take it from what you’re saying that all incarnated beings are in the Light?</p><br><p>Alison ~ Or from the Light.</p><p>Thomas ~ Or from the Light.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Who is Thomas and what are Spirit Guides?</strong></p><br><p>Steve: So we’re here with Thomas and Maddie is channeling now and not with us, and so Thomas, can you explain who you are?</p><br><p>Thomas: I am a spirit guide and I come from the Light and so do you. When you leave the light to become human we watch out for you. We come with you. I am coming here now through Maddie to help and to provide information and answer questions to as many as I possibly can.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: As a spirit guide, have you ever incarnated?&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: I have. I have been human before. It has been over a couple thousand years. But I have been human, I have walked where you walk. So I understand your questions and what information you’re seeking.</p><br><p>S: How would you describe the difference between being a human being and being a spirit guide?&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: Being a human being is very difficult. You forget a lot of things. You’re not in the light as much. You’re not aware of it. In fact you’re really separated from it. Being a spirit guide, I’m always with the light. I bring it with me. I never leave it. I have answers. I remember everything and humans don’t.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: So how do spirit guides help people?</p><br><p>T: In so many different ways. In providing comfort when you’re going through something difficult. By providing companionship. We watch you, we reward you through out your life. Like if you’ve done something that has been difficult for you we can reward you with a beautiful sunrise or a rainbow or a bird coming to land and singing to you. Those are all gifts from the light to humans.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: Funny as you say that a memory came back to me, My wife and I were paddling on Lobster Lake and we had come back from climbing Mount Spencer. The sun was setting and there was a rainbow over Mount Spencer so the colors in the sky were beautiful from the sunset. There was a full moon and Mount Katahdin was there. So in every direction we looked in there was beauty. And the really funny thing was we had just taken our last picture with the camera and we couldn’t take any of it. It was gorgeous. That’s what came to mind when you said we reward you. It felt like a reward of some kind.</p><br><p>T: It definitely was. And you have that picture in your memory.</p><br><p>S: Definitely.</p><br><p>T: You’ll always have it.</p><br><p>Alison: Thomas, does everyone have a spirit guide?&nbsp;</p><br><p>T: Absolutely. More than one spirit guide. You come here with a guide who is with you throughout your journey as a human that never leaves you. That helps you adjust to being human and really help you get through it. Being human is not an easy task to take on so we are here to help always.</p><br><p>A:&nbsp;Is that what you mean by a Life Guide?</p><p>T: Yes</p><br><p>A: We all have a life guide who is with us from the beginning to the end, it is one who we choose.</p><br><p>T: Right. When you’re planning this life you pick your team and you pick your life guide.&nbsp;This guide will be with you even before you take your first breath as a human. And we’ll be there until you come home. Until you come back to the light.</p><br><p>A: How do people know and how can they become familiar with their life guides?</p><br><p>T: Be willing to open up to them. It isn’t even necessary to believe in them but just be open to the possibility. When you do that you’re creating an opening within yourself that allows your guide to get messages through stronger. To communicate better with you. It’s very typical at first in the beginning to think it’s your imagination. That you made it up, it’s not real, but the more you do it the more you will come to understand and you will see it’s not your imagination. There are definitely things happening and information coming through that you have no control over. That it’s coming from someone else. So it becomes clearer to you.</p><br><p>S: That is such a common thing that clients say to me when I’m helping them to meet their spirit guides through hypnosis. They always wonder, am I talking to myself? Am I making this up? Almost every one of them says that.</p><br><p>T: And when you start there is a part of you, and that is your soul, that wants this so much. So even though you may be telling yourself, I made that up, it’s my imagination, there is a part of you that is responding, already telling you, I did not make that up, I am a part of something so much bigger and this is where I belong. So you start to really open up to it very quickly.</p><br><p>A: So somewhere inside there is a knowing. The soul knows.</p><br><p>T: You soul knows, yes.</p><br><p>S: And I encourage them to believe that it’s real and it is a guide talking to them unless they have a firm reason why they don’t think it is. You know to just trust in it in the beginning and that can help.</p><br><p>T: And even in the beginning if they’re very intent in believing that it is their imagination, even telling themselves, well so what? It feels good and there’s no harming coming from it so they’re still giving themselves permission to do it.</p><br><p>A: What are ways and things people can do to develop a stronger connection to their guide(s)?</p><br><p>T: Probably the easiest is spending a few quiet moments a day with the intent of doing that. Of communication with your guide. And it’s perfectly ok to start out quietly and say ok guide, show me you are here. Prove to me that you exist. There are so many different ways this will happen and it’s different for everyone how that happens. Some will hear a clear voice, some will feel something, you know something physical, some may see something - different colors or they may even see the spirit guide. But that opens you up and starts you communicating. And if you do that at least once daily after a few days you will notice that feeling you get or that voice you hear or that image you get - that they are there even when you are not quiet and meditating and you will start to see that they are there all the time.</p><br><p>A: It seems that children are more open to this. Is that true?</p><br><p>T: They are. They have not lost the ability to see the guides and angels around them. When you become human, until you learn to communicate with other humans, you are still very close to and very much aware of your guides and the angels. You see them, your hear them, you feel them, they are definitely with you.</p><br><p>A: And for some reason in our culture, we don’t continue to support that. The mainstream doesn’t continue to support this knowing or belief.</p><br><p>T: Right. Humans will start to discourage that as soon as they start to communicate. Telling little ones your imaginary friends are just that. And in that case it’s the adults that are wrong and the child that is correct. They are very real.</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Introduction</strong></p><br><p>Hi I am Alison, I am Steve, and I am Maddie. Welcome to our Talking with Thomas Podcast. We’re so glad you're here. &nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve: I met Maddie back in 2014, April, and you had come to me for a past life regression and towards the end of it as I was jotting down some notes, because I always take a lot of notes when doing a past life regression to give to the person, and I just noticed that the content of what you were saying changed and I looked up at you and you said, Hi I’m Thomas, I’m a Spirit Guide. And that was kind fo surprising. (Laughter) And so I I ended up asking Thomas some spiritual questions that day but we ended up meeting once a month for about an hour and a half and I would ask every spiritual question I could think of and it was just so much fun. So when I got to know </p><br><p>Alison and we started doing groups together I thought why not involved Thomas in these groups and then other people could ask </p><br><p>Thomas spiritual questions just like I do because I was enjoying it so much and then Alison was enjoying it and asking him questions and stuff and so it has grown from there. When have done all these groups and now we’re doing these podcasts. So Maddie, do you want to talk about any of the journeys you go on when you channel and what that is like? And how while Thomas is out here talking with us and answering our questions?</p><br><p>Maddie: For the most part the journeys themselves when I come back they fade really quickly. I remember one where I was riding a pegasus and we were doing a tour of planets and not just in this galaxy but in all of them. I always come back from my journeys feeling very wonderful. Very strong, very loved, like I’ve been in a wonderful place.</p><br><p>S: The interesting thing about the way you channel is that you are an unconscious channel and you have no idea of what we’ve talked about. Even that first day when Thomas was talking to me, you didn’t remember, I told you what happened. It’s interesting that way and its also very beneficial because it keeps your ego for being involved in any way or influencing what Thomas is saying. So in that way it is very pure.</p><br><p>M: I’m never sure if he actually shows up even. (Laughter)</p><br><p>S: Right, because the first few times you asked us that. When you came back you said, did he show up? (laughter) and we’d been talking to him for about an hour or more.</p><br><p>M: And I used to be terrified that I’d be sitting there for an hour with everyone staring at me and nothing happened (laughter).</p><br><p>S: That has never happened. He always shows up.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison: I wasn’t so sure when I first met you. I had never met an unconscious channel before. Steve introduced me to you at one of our first trainings when Steve brought you in. I had talked with channelers before but they were always conscious or partially conscious. So it was different. I’ve grown to know you over the years and trust you and trust Thomas and it’s just been amazing, I remember when asking you early on, are you sure you’re ok? Are you sure you’re enjoying channeling? You always say the same thing that you always end up feeling refreshed after, right?</p><br><p>M: Yes</p><br><p>S: That’s been the wonderful thing about this. It’s been such a benefit to - Thomas, because he gets to share information with us and he loves that, it’s a benefit to you to go on these journeys and you enjoy them so much. You always come back so happy. (yes) And then it’s a benefit to everyone listening because we get to get this information from a spirit guide and its really interesting and informative and fun!&nbsp;</p><p>A: Yes and he uses your voice so as he speaks through you he uses the way you speak, right? And I’ve gotten to know you and him you can tell the difference in the tone (S: definitely) and the people have the pleasure of seeing you do this in person they can see you as Maddie right here and then as Thomas and there is s slight difference there. You can tell. You are more shy than he is and I know you don’t usually like the intro part of our groups (laughter).</p><br><p>M: It’s difficult.</p><br><p>A: Yeah. I remember needing to tell people after that you’re an unconscious channel because they’d come up after group and ask you a question as if you were there for the conversation and you’re like what are they talking about!</p><br><p>M: Yes. I didn’t have a clue.</p><br><p>A: As I was saying I’ve learned to trust Thomas over the years, I find his messages to be so consistent. They are so warm and direct. I used to think they were so simple and basic and I’ve learned from him, and realized, oh these are deep messages. Sometimes I’ll remember, oh he’s told us that before and that has happened! And I didn’t initially thing that was going to happen. But I’ve learned over time.</p><br><p>S: I remember the first time I got a really striking confirmation that Thomas was a Spirit Guide and that was when back early on in 2016 and I was in Toast Masters and I had given a speech on Spirituality and it went over like a lead balloon. The whole group was looking at the ceiling and the floor and they didn’t like the speech at all it was way too much for them. And so I met with Thomas a few days later and he took that speech apart. He took each piece and said isn’t this true and don’t you feel really strongly about this and each piece of the speech, that I had never told anyone about, he went through with me. He made me feel so good about it. But there is no way that you (Maddie) could have known that and there was no way that he could have known that unless he is a spirit guide. And since then there has been 100s and 1000s of confirmations that he’s the real deal.</p><br><p>A: Exactly. What I love is that I’ve been on the spiritual path an long time, my whole life, and I’ve done a lot of different spiritual studies, I love reading metaphysical books and his messages are consistently aligned with so many of the different traditions and what I study. So what I love is so much of it is coming from one source, from him and it is in alignment. To me I find that really validating.&nbsp;I also love the way he doesn’t entertain people’s egos. So it’s not like he is a psychic. Psychics can see into a potential future of somebody and say oh this may happen, or you’ll get this job, or you’re going to move here or have a new love interest. And that is not his role as a spirit guide he doesn’t say those kinds of things. He speaks to our soul.</p><br><p>For me when we do our groups and people ask spiritual questions of Thomas, it never gets old, I just loved hearing him, even if they are the same questions, I just love hearing it. I think also when Thomas is present there is a real strong energy present. There is more happening than just the words being said. Do you find that too?</p><br><p>S: Definitely</p><br><p>A: So pay attention as you listen to our podcasts and discussions with Thomas and just notice how it feels. Sometimes there is silence between. We decided to create this podcast because people in our groups were asking lots of questions and we thought, let’s get it out these - the common questions that people tend to ask and share it with Thomas’ voice. we thought it would be nice to have a place where we could reach more people and share the messages.</p><br><p>As you listen, we’re not reading off of any scripts. We come in with questions and are asking Thomas and he speaks freely.</p><br><p>S: And we think you’ll enjoy it! And one other thing is that sometimes, and this can be anytime you do anything spiritual, in the next day or two your ego is going to come in and try and make you believe it wasn’t real. That is a very common thing. So just be aware of that and try it again and see what you think.</p><br><p>A: And that’s ok! Right? It’s just natural. The other thing we always share with people is to always discern for yourself. We’re not asking you to believe what Thomas said. You’ll be hearing us ask questions that are maybe about things you haven’t heard of before and it’s ok. Always discern for yourself and never abdicate your own spiritual authority. Which means take what is yours and leave the rest.</p><br><p>S: Definitely. We are not trying to … this is what we believe and you don’t have to. That is ok and there is nothing wrong with that.</p><br><p>A: Absolutely.&nbsp;Everyone is on their own spiritual journey; their own path to awakening and we’r not looking to convince anyone anything. This is our labor of love and passion and sharing. We just wanted to create this as an opportunity for people to explore and experience.</p><br><p>S: Yes. For some people this really resonates with them and they really enjoy it and we’ve noticed that in our groups and that is why we keep doing it.</p><br><p>A: And we’d love to hear from you! If you have any questions that we haven’t asked and you would like to hear them answered, please reach out to us. We’d love to hear what your thoughts are and any questions you may have.&nbsp;</p><br><p>S: Yes. That is our goal here. Is to share information and answer your questions.</p><br><p>A: We’re all on the journey here together. Thank you for being here.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p><strong>Introduction</strong></p><br><p>Hi I am Alison, I am Steve, and I am Maddie. Welcome to our Talking with Thomas Podcast. We’re so glad you're here. &nbsp;</p><br><p>Steve: I met Maddie back in 2014, April, and you had come to me for a past life regression and towards the end of it as I was jotting down some notes, because I always take a lot of notes when doing a past life regression to give to the person, and I just noticed that the content of what you were saying changed and I looked up at you and you said, Hi I’m Thomas, I’m a Spirit Guide. And that was kind fo surprising. (Laughter) And so I I ended up asking Thomas some spiritual questions that day but we ended up meeting once a month for about an hour and a half and I would ask every spiritual question I could think of and it was just so much fun. So when I got to know </p><br><p>Alison and we started doing groups together I thought why not involved Thomas in these groups and then other people could ask </p><br><p>Thomas spiritual questions just like I do because I was enjoying it so much and then Alison was enjoying it and asking him questions and stuff and so it has grown from there. When have done all these groups and now we’re doing these podcasts. So Maddie, do you want to talk about any of the journeys you go on when you channel and what that is like? And how while Thomas is out here talking with us and answering our questions?</p><br><p>Maddie: For the most part the journeys themselves when I come back they fade really quickly. I remember one where I was riding a pegasus and we were doing a tour of planets and not just in this galaxy but in all of them. I always come back from my journeys feeling very wonderful. Very strong, very loved, like I’ve been in a wonderful place.</p><br><p>S: The interesting thing about the way you channel is that you are an unconscious channel and you have no idea of what we’ve talked about. Even that first day when Thomas was talking to me, you didn’t remember, I told you what happened. It’s interesting that way and its also very beneficial because it keeps your ego for being involved in any way or influencing what Thomas is saying. So in that way it is very pure.</p><br><p>M: I’m never sure if he actually shows up even. (Laughter)</p><br><p>S: Right, because the first few times you asked us that. When you came back you said, did he show up? (laughter) and we’d been talking to him for about an hour or more.</p><br><p>M: And I used to be terrified that I’d be sitting there for an hour with everyone staring at me and nothing happened (laughter).</p><br><p>S: That has never happened. He always shows up.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Alison: I wasn’t so sure when I first met you. I had never met an unconscious channel before. Steve introduced me to you at one of our first trainings when Steve brought you in. I had talked with channelers before but they were always conscious or partially conscious. So it was different. I’ve grown to know you over the years and trust you and trust Thomas and it’s just been amazing, I remember when asking you early on, are you sure you’re ok? Are you sure you’re enjoying channeling?
