Spiritual Guidance and Spiritual Healing thru Lessons of Love.

Level 3-Astral Plane

Learner: Almost all you guys seem to talk about when you teach us about Heaven is Level Three (Astral Plane). Could one of you tell us a little more about the higher levels beyond Level Three? What are they like?

Spirit: My one-word answer is Love. But you also will experience great love here on the Astral Plane, as well. Yes, we do teach more about the Astral Plane. That is intentional, because that is where you will arrive as soon as your body dies. It is also the level closest to the Earth, so it is a level that you will understand and be comfortable in. There are plenty of things on Level Three that will seem magical to you, what you call "awesome." So you won’t be bored while you orient to Level Three.

But yes, eventually you will be ready to move on, and you will want to. There are reasons that some souls do not move on as soon as they can. Some are waiting for someone they love greatly who they know will be arriving Home soon. You do not have to wait on Level Three in order to greet someone. You can return to Level Three and take physical form no matter what Level you are living on at the time.

I am talking about souls who are waiting for someone that they know they will need to be in review with when that person reviews their life and that they will want to stay to help the loved one through the orientation, helping them feel comfortable, adjust to being Home again, understand some things that may confuse them at first, or even want them to lay down and hold them awhile when they first return and need to rest. So sometimes out of love some souls who could be on Level Four or even higher choose to stay on Level Three for awhile.

Others who have been admitted to one of the Guide Schools in order to learn to guide Learners living on a physical plane are required to remain on Level Three during their schooling and their subsequent work as a Guide. Guides who have gained admittance to higher levels of expression are permitted to return there, what I will call returning home, at times, but in order to do this they must take a brief sabbatical from their work guiding a Learner on Level Three. Sometimes such a sabbatical rest is recommended, sometimes even mandated, for a Guide in order to help them restore their full Light and proper perspective.

Usually it is expected that this will be handled through self- and peer-examinations and visits to the Meditation Garden for rejuvenation and/or counseling as needed. But just as a worker in a foreign land may be able to work there effectively for many decades with no noticeable difference in the energy with which they pursue their teaching of Light and Love, sometimes it happens that a physical or emotional sickness makes it wise for them to return to their hometown for a month in order to restore their original vitality and motivation.

Now…. Let me see…. How to tell you what living on the higher planes is like. If you have lived there before, your soul already knows. That’s the good part. The bad part, if there is one, is that if you remember what it is like, it is possible that you lived there and "slipped up" during an incarnation and now are trying to work that through. That’s okay, though, because you are already aware and communicating and striving to learn. So you are obviously doing the things you need to do to regain the Light your being once held.

The other reason you could be on Earth again after living in Level Six is compassion. You may have returned to Earth to help a soul you love greatly grow. Or to help your soul group through this exciting but tremendously challenging change in energy upon the Earthplane. You may have volunteered to return as a Lightworker during the cataclysm. If so, study well. You will need your power, your Light, your ability to Love.

Most of you have probably been to Level Four. Level Four to you right now, if you were to go there during a journey, would seem to your Earthly oriented perception as a place of all whiteness, or some would say "nothingness." It is far from nothing, of course. Within the whiteness, which is White Light, is everything. On Level Four, souls can still remember and sometimes desire things of their physical lives on Earth. They can go back to Level Three to experience these, or they can, if they choose, just remain on Level Four and create whatever it is they wish to experience. If you are a gardener, you will, as part of being permitted to move into Level Four, you will have learned how to create. You may not be perfect at it, may be just a beginner, but that’s okay.

There are many teachers on Level Four who work with souls there rather than with souls on Earth. So there will be teachers to help you practice and learn more. Creation is important to learn. Not so much so that you can still do things from earth, but so that you will be able to expand that ability as you move on to the higher levels, so that you will be able to build on it. Just like someone who wants to excel at advanced mathematical procedures must first learn to add one plus one, and someone who wants to paint like V…. <I’m not getting the name Spirit is saying, probably because I don’t know painters. This Spirit Guide is a painter, but I have never studied Art. It sounds sort of like Valasco** to me, but I don’t know, so she rephrases for us.> If you want to paint like Michaelangelo or create music like Haydn, you must first learn how to hold a brush or recognize middle C. So your desires to create the things you still occasionally miss from Earth will be encouraged and assisted, never denigrated. You will be able to walk along a seashore that you, first with your teachers and then solo, have created, for example.

When you are Level Four, you will learn more about how to return to the physical plane of Earth occasionally if you want to without becoming Earthbound. There are important things to learn in order to do this, because you will want to be sure that you do not become Earthbound. But you will be able to visit special people or places on Earth occasionally if you have need or great desire. You will be learning so many other things that do not require physical representation, though, that without even realizing it, without any withdrawal pains at all, you might say, you will be weaned away from your tight connection to Earth.

Once you find that you are, without strain, without regret or sadness, without feeling loss of any kind, you are living almost entirely without the need for pseudo-physical experiences, you will be ready to study for advancement to Level Five. When I say study now, if you hate or hated school and planned never to have to study again, don’t panic. Studying here is very different from some students’ experiences on Earth. Remember: Love and Light. Love and Light. Your experiences learning here will always be encircled within Love and Light. If you need special help, or a tutor, it will be offered in love, with no feelings of shame or failure whatsoever imposed upon you. Some souls learn one thing very fast and another very slowly. It is that way for all of us. So it is here. What you learn quickly, you will probably be asked to help other souls learn. What you learn more slowly will be taught to you with much love.

Now…. I think we should stop here until you and your classmates bring us more questions about the higher levels. There is so much to tell that it is impossible to describe it all to you in one class. Let’s wait and see what you all really want to know about the Levels above, or as we prefer to say, beyond Level Three, and take it from there.
