Life's Journey - Silver Star

[21 Jan 2007]

Silver Star appeared one Sunday, as he regularly does, and began to speak to us clairvoyantly through me. He was holding what looked like a cart wheel and he pointed out the spokes radiating outwards from its central hub, stating that the journey of the soul is not an 'outward' but an 'inward' one. The Big Indian was with him, and added his own teaching to the session

Silver Star: "People mistakenly think that heaven is an expansion a bigger place than this as though you go upwards to Heaven people always look up to the skies when talking to God or to think about heaven, but actually the soul is going back to the point where it came from - so the earth plane, this level of consciousness, can be likened to you being out on the rim of a wheel with the spokes of that wheel radiating inwards the soul's journey is inwards from the rim rather than outwards from the centre.

"The soul has already made that 'outwards' journey, it is journeying back. Everyone on earth is on a return journey, they are not moving outwards. From the minute they are born they are travelling inwards and that analogy mirrors the way that our own energies work as individual souls. What you are experiencing on earth is only the 'rim' of your spiritual consciousness, it is the outermost point of your experience and it is the journey inwards that we as guides wish to take you on as we add information to the website today. Everything we will subsequently say to you will be concerned with the discovery of your inner self and its workings and I would now like to give you a mediation that will allow you to make contact with that inner point."

The Journey inwards a meditation

"I would ask you (having first sat in a comfortable chair, relaxed yourself and having become quiet and still) to see yourself in your imagination floating in space looking down at planet Earth. Your beautiful planet is turning slowly below you in your mind's eye. I then want you to see yourself effortlessly moving in closer to the Earth and to see the Earth revolving in front of you until you are lined up with - looking down upon - the country you live in. Now see the Earth stop revolving make it do so with your imagination - so that the country you live in is directly below you. Now see yourself, slowly and effortlessly, descending through the clouds, peacefully moving down through the atmosphere until you can see your country spreading out in every direction beneath you. Descend further until you can see the fields and the houses and the roads and the lanes and see yourself gliding down into the county where you live and the area in which you live so you can see the boundaries of your county or state; so that you can see the boundaries of the town or city you live in, then the avenue or street where you live. Then see yourself gently passing right through the roof of the house you live in, sinking through the ceiling into your lounge and settling into your favourite armchair.

"At this point you can begin your journey of imagination inwards. In your mind's eye imagine, from the comfort of that favourite armchair, that you are making a journey inwards to your heart centre, the area at the centre of your heart. Here you will see what again looks like a beautiful planet a beautiful sphere of white light hanging in front of you. But this sphere of light is not a planet; it is actually your soul. In your imagination see yourself coming down, within yourself, through the surrounding velvety darkness into this point of light. As you become immersed in this point of light you can see an altar in front of you a small, comfortable room containing a simple altar. On the altar is a light a brilliant flame burning within a glass vessel. That light is the light of God within you, and as you move towards it you are attracted to the light and find yourself drawn into the light, passing right through the glass of the shade that surrounds it.

"As you move into the light and are bathed in brilliance you find your view clearing and are surprised and delighted to find yourself once again hanging in space looking down at the planet Earth

"You see, brothers and sisters, life is a circle. I am attempting to give you an impression of birth and rebirth and to help you understand that everything exists not outside of you but inside within - you. You are your own universe. You might conceivably, at some stage in the future, be able to travel to the farthest edges of this physical universe, but however far you appear to travel physically your universe is always inside you. The power to maintain that universe is inside you because as you think so you create.

"So this is a worthwhile meditation for putting things in perspective. At the end of it you find yourself looking down at the planet Earth again so you have come full circle. You can then repeat the experience if you wish to do so. Or, thanking God for the experience and asking an angel to close and seal your energy points your chakras so that you are protected from any psychic disturbance that would otherwise impinge on you, you can slowly return yourself to this level of consciousness.

"I would ask you to contemplate the meaning of the meditation we have given you. Also consider that, if you start out from one point on a wheel walking forwards along the rim you eventually meet yourself you come to the point where you are standing directly behind the point you started out from. You have come full circle. The point of life many lives is not just to bring you full circle around the rim but to also bring you full circle down towards the God-point within you."

The Big Indian on time for God; time to make things right

"It is good to be spiritual towards yourself to forgive yourself to love yourself and to make time for God in each day. The words I would really like to see published are in each day there should be a time for God. This is not religion, this is sense. If you set out on a long journey are you not refreshed by memories of home and the fact that you are going back home? Is it not good to think about where you came from and, if you find yourself in a foreign land, don't the memories of home, the disciplines of home, the loves of home, keep you on the straight path, where otherwise you might sometimes stray from that path and find yourself in jungle territory or in deep water?

"It makes sense each day to remember your source to think of home, even if you don't consciously remember what that home is. To turn your mind to God; to remember that you are going back to that home. As my colleague has said, you are travelling from the rim to the hub and it is an inevitable journey.

"Not one of you reading this will survive forever on the Earth. You are not designed to do so, and it may be a sobering thought to you but you are each going to 'die'. You will not cease to exist but you are going to die. My task as a member of this group is to give you some preparation for that event; is to bring your mind towards it. Parts of your society loath or shun the idea that anyone ever dies and make no preparation whatsoever for that event.

"I am not being morbid, I am simply saying that you are on a journey and one day that journey will change its course. There is another journey ahead of you, which is far brighter than anything you have experienced on Earth. But it will change course and it is right that you should prepare for that journey and not get too locked into this world of illusions and temptations.

"So each day it would be a good idea for you to contemplate your God, to remind yourself that God sent you out on this journey and to remind yourself that God wants you back. Do you hear that? God wants you back. It doesn't matter who you are, what you think you have done, what you feel you have failed at or triumphed at. God wants you back; not to punish you but because he loves you and wants to embrace you back into his family, into his heart. That is your destiny.

"And it is good each day to think of that perhaps when you come home from work, tired and upset because of what others have said, or what you feel you have failed to do, or the problems that you have had in travelling to and from work, or just because of general fatigue. It is good, before you watch your television, before you attend to your evening, perhaps after your meal, to sit down just for five minutes to think about the fact that you are going back to God; that you are an integral part of God; that God loves you and God, when you think about Him, can send out rays of light to you which will lighten your load.

"Everything has to be voluntary otherwise there would be no free choice. You have to think of God in your own time. You have to decide to tune into Him. You have choices. So by choice I am recommending that you tune in, that you seek the God within. You can use pleasant images: gardens or seashores or sunsets or mountain scenery and see yourself communing with the God in nature. See yourself feeling well and happy. Thank God during this time for the bounty he has given you, for the happiness he will bring you and for the direction and guidance he will bestow upon you. Then, when you are peaceful, come out of your meditation and ask that the energy centres that feed your body - your chakras be shut down. Ask God, ask an angel, ask high authority and then get on with your evening and you will be refreshed. Come to me all you who are weary and I will give you rest. This is what it means I will give you rest. This journey doesn't have to be for you one endless toil, one endless worry. There is always that sanctuary that my colleague spoke about, that sanctuary that is inside yourself.

"As you visit God daily, not with any label not to say that I am Catholic or Buddhist or Jewish or Islamic - but simply to say I am a child of God; as you visit God each day, then your certainty that God is there will grow. You will see evidence of his work in your life and you will feel different; you will feel guided; you will feel comfortable, no matter what the circumstances in your life and, with time, you will begin to sense things.

"You will sense also because all souls do when you are finally nearing the end of this journey. You will sense there are perhaps only a couple of years left before you go home. Listen to that voice for it is like an alarm system - like an alarm clock - saying it is almost time to wake up and you had better prepare yourself. If you get the feeling that there is not long for you to go on this earthly journey then set about making things right.

"If you have something to say to someone, say it. If you have never told someone that you love them but do, then say it. If you have affairs to put in order - put them in order. Realise that your energies, i.e. what you leave behind, will go out to someone else. See that these are given in the right way to the right people so that they will expand their souls. Have you ever considered that the gifts you give in your will should be given to those that will make best use of them with regard to the evolution of their own soul? I am not talking about how they will spend the money; I am talking about who is likeliest to benefit spiritually from the things you leave them.

"So listen to that call. It does not mean you are to sit in a chair and say 'Come on God, I am ready to die'. Not at all! But it is little known that everyone is given an alert. That is why so often you will find people talking about someone who has passed and saying how strange it is that he or she came to see them just two days before they died. Of course they did! Their soul knew that they were going to die. Their soul knew that they had to see everyone, embrace them, shake their hand and then go.

"So listen to that alert and then my job - because I transport people across from this world to the next - would be so much simpler. My task and the task of the spirits around the world who do a job similar to mine (I only take a small percentage of souls across) would be easier because we wouldn't have to fight so hard to dispel the fears of those who have just passed. A lot of our life is to do with that preparation I am always almost obsessed, I suppose you could say, with preparation. My people knew that there was a world beyond and lived each day as though it was their last. We have the equivalent saying in our language to live each day as though it is your last. We were not melancholy but we tried our utmost to be as spiritual as we could be to ourselves and to the people around us.

"A passing should not be a thing of fear, it should be a thing of joy because you are going home. There are people waiting for you that you have known both from this life and from past lives. It should not be something that roots you to the spot with fear. You should be excited, you should be tearful because you are going back to the loving heart of your Father. What is there to be afraid of? So many of the people I see are terrified, are mortified (if you will forgive the expression) when they pass over and when they see me they are frightened of me. That hurts me because I am there to help them and to love them and so are the others in spirit who work with souls who are passing."

Conclusion

BI speaking: "Michael saw both Silver Star and myself today because we had a theme to link together and the theme is that the journey of life is endless. The theme is that the journey is a circle - that you are travelling back to where you started from so it is a circle. If you incarnate again you are coming out again into a circular life and your life can be seen as completed when you go around that rim to the point where you started from and you then move inwards towards the hub.

"We hope that the meditation will expand your mind because if you are looking inwards and outwards at the same pattern you are finding God. We hope that you will consider listening to your inner voice, contacting the God within and taking notice of what your soul-clock says to you.

"If you feel that at a certain stage you are nearing the end of your physical life don't despair. This is a time of joy, your work is almost over. You are going to a wondrous place and people like me will be waiting to take you across. But pay heed to what is said. So many souls on this side find it so difficult because they have failed to say something to someone, failed to make amends, failed to give affection, failed, through obstinacy or pride, to ever let people know how they feel. Once you are on this side it is difficult to communicate with the earth plane and many queue up through mediums just to say I am sorry, just to say I did love them, just to say I should have done x, y and z for them.

"Don't be one of these souls, complete your affairs. Become used to the idea that one day you will not be on Earth, that one day you will be somewhere better. If I get that across to you in love and in the name of the White Spirit then I have done my job today."

Just as I thought the communication was about to end, Silver Star added the following in the form of a 'Post Script'

Silver Star: "We were trying to get across the concept that life does not end, it follows itself, it is a loop, it is a circle - it cannot end. What we are trying to convey to souls is that the world is without end 'world without end, Amen'. That their life is without end and that they are part of a cycle of existence that will bring them experience and growth. What I was trying to say when mentioning the wheel rim is that most people regard their lives as a straight line from birth to death, they don't realise that their consciousness is in a cycle, which we can talk about in greater depth, and also about wavelengths and how the soul reacts to wavelengths, later on.

"At this stage, however, we feel visitors to this site need something poetic for their souls, so we are trying to bring them something that will uplift them without being too difficult to understand. The nature of wavelengths and karma and the soul's journeys inwards can be written up for one of your books later on because it is a complex subject, it is an enormous subject, concerning how all those little wheels (people's lives) touch other wheels."
