Matthew Ward

With loving greetings
from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. Despite what may appear to be
the contrary, happenings around your world are steadily moving your society
forward. Citizens’ protests against government leadership or policies from
community level to national is forcing resolution of issues that have been
causing considerable dissatisfaction—this is releasing negativity so it cannot
become entrenched. Turbulence in the Ukraine will bluster on, but there is
insufficient momentum in Earth’s energy field of potential for eruption into a
widespread battleground.
Random acts of violence
will continue to provide karmic experiencing for all persons involved, and it
is to be expected that political and diplomatic negotiations will bog down from
time to time on the way to peaceful accords. You can expect more arrests,
firings and resignations in the international banking community and some
governments, and it appears that a shake-up in the Vatican is on the horizon.
Such disparate groups as churches, multinational corporations, civic and school
organizations and nonprofit agencies are cooperating in major projects to
expand educational and employment opportunities.
The unstoppable stream of
progress into increasingly lighter energy planes is being aided by souls who
are starting to ponder more deeply than day-to-day functioning. These awakening
souls are adding more light to the abundance generated on Earth and showered
upon the planet from distant sources, and each new sparkle heightens vibratory
levels. Your real estate industry talks about the importance of “location,
location, location.” Of infinitely vaster importance to your world and all its
residents is “vibrations, vibrations, vibrations,” and helping to raise the
vibrations is why you are there.
Thus, we are eager to
address readers’ questions that are stirring in the minds of many other lightworkers,
too. How can we know if we’re adhering to, or honoring, our life
contracts? What are the indications of fulfilling or failing in our life’s
mission? I am in despair about the millions who are in dire circumstances, but
what can I do to help them? Are we doing enough to help Earth herself? How can
I handle situations that are beyond my control, like decisions people make that
seriously impact my life? Others are asking how to help dear ones who
resist truthful information if it doesn’t support their narrow views and how to
manage debilitating illnesses or financial hardship.
While these may seem to
be quite different issues, the answers to all come from the same all-powerful
source: your soul.
So first we say, the soul
continuously sends guidelines to the consciousness to keep you aligned with
your contract choices. These guidelines, which are as clear as neon signs
pointing in the directions you chose, may come as words but most often are
strong sensations. When you are heeding your soul’s messages, in heart and mind
you feel as if you are flowing lightly with the current, so to say—this is your
soul saying “Good job!”Conversely, when your free will decision,
action or inaction goes against your contract, you experience uneasiness and
discomfort—you wish you had made a different choice.
The lighthearted feeling
of a “clear” conscience lets you know that what you did was right; feelings of
guilt, regret or remorse signify that it wasn’t. Be aware that if the latter
feelings are ignored time after time, the conscience begins to atrophy and
mean-spiritedness and apathy start to feel natural.
Instinct is a spontaneous
reaction to a situation that poses grave danger to you, a loved one or a
stranger, and acting instantly can be life-saving.
Using intuition is a
contemplative process of “asking within” for advice, then stilling your mind.
You may want to know, for instance, whether a particular person is the best
choice as a lifetime partner; if a proposed business venture is in your best
interests; when an investment of time, energy or money is wise; if relocating
or accepting a job offer is a good idea. As you contemplate any of those kinds
of situations or another matter of great importance to your future, if the urge
to act upon the idea becomes stronger, your soul is speaking ever more loudly
to motivate you to take relevant action. If reluctance to take the next step
persists, your soul is saying “Don’t do this.”
While exercising your
power of discernment is similar, it provides answers you’re seeking at the
moment. That could be whether it would be wise to share your thoughts with
someone, which information is the truth for you and which is not, if silence
about a matter is kinder than speaking up, does a particular situation deserve
your attention—that is, separating the trivial from the worthwhile. Acting upon
inspirations and aspirations leads to fields of endeavor and major activities
you chose in your soul contract. Being true to yourself in this respect results
in a gratifying sense of fulfillment whereas spending your life doing what
someone says you should instead of following your heart’s desire brings
restlessness and discontentment.
Why are we telling you
what you already know? Because, our beloved family, you aren’t using that
knowledge to the fullest! Questioning at deeply introspective levels is
extremely important indeed, and that huge step out of third density
consciousness is an arduous trek, to be sure. However, the next step—getting
your answers within—comes as easily and swiftly as you will allow. Within your
soul is all the knowingness, assurance, self-confidence, caring, wisdom and
strength you’ll ever need in this lifetime. Seek and ye shall find.
Now then, you may be
following your soul-level guidance to a “T,” yet are contending with heartache,
opposition, illness, financial hardships or other obstacles. Dear ones, soul
contract choices specifically include those kinds of challenges. Without them
there could be no learning, no soul growth, and the control you have over
whatever you encounter is your reaction to it. Along with
soul-level guidance, you have more inner strength than you can imagine and an
unlimited capacity to love and forgive; to feel grateful, compassionate and
patient; to share generously, act honorably and stride forward from momentary
setbacks.
Many of you volunteered
to experience difficult health or economic issues or other harsh circumstances
specifically to benefit others. As you manage adversities with determination
and strong spirit, you serve as a beacon of encouragement to people struggling
with similar situations, and by exemplifying the power of your innate
resources, you inspire them to tap into their own.
The universal law that
each person is accountable for only her or his choices never means being
indifferent to family, friends and colleagues who are dealing with hardships.
You don’t know if they have veered from their contracts or if they are
following them to the letter in matters that affect their lives and often
yours, too. Pre-birth agreements, which are made with unconditional love, are
designed to benefit all participants in the shared lifetime; and to advance in
spiritual and conscious awareness, some must choose situations that are indeed
difficult for themselves and often for others as well. Usually it is only in
retrospect that people realize how much learning they derived as a result of
others’ actions and decisions.
The vast majority of the
many millions who are living and dying in unconscionable circumstances are
completing karmic lessons so they can evolve. And, as parts of the Oneness of
All, they are offering your society a great opportunity for learning and
spiritual advancement, and it is not by feeling despair for them. The law of
attraction is in constant operation, and because it has no reasoning ability,
it can’t distinguish between what you want and what you don’t want, so it
brings back more of the energy that matches your desperate thoughts and
feelings.
If it’s possible to
participate in or financially support organizations that are working to improve
conditions in areas where help is so greatly needed, do so. But for the many of
you who cannot, please know that feelings of compassion for those who are
suffering and gratitude for the blessings in your life are light-filled, and
the more light within you, the more light you radiate into the world for the
upliftment of all souls.
Every time you perform an
act of kindness, feel joy at seeing a baby’s first smile, glory in the beauty
of a sunset or tend to an animal in need, you are helping Earth. Those kinds of
feelings and actions are filled with the light that is helping Gaia’s planetary
body heal from millennia of abuse and neglect, and visualizing Earth in
golden-white light always is a wonderful way to lift the vibrations.
A reader asked if
deafness is chosen as a karmic lesson, can it be completed so the person can
gain hearing ability in this lifetime. The answer applies as well to all
physical and mental deprivations, loss of organs and limbs, and chronic
diseases. Those kinds of conditions were chosen as soul evolvement
opportunities for the individuals and their caretakers, and a change depends
upon the soul contract—does it include a reversal of the condition? If so, two
factors apply. If the person is young and chose a long life span, the condition
can incrementally change when the planet reaches higher energy planes. The
other factor is the degree of light within the person. A body’s healing
mechanisms are activated by light’s high vibrations, and the vibratory level is
in accordance with the person’s positive or negative thoughts, feelings and
actions.
Now I shall speak for
myself to answer more questions that arose from the message about my lifetime
as the biblical Matthew.
How will the truth about
the Bible affect Christianity? When truths are revealed
about the origin of the Bible’s information, open-minded Christians will eschew
dogma devised to control the masses and retain the spiritual part of their
faith. Radical interpretations of all religions will fall by the wayside and
all peoples will embrace the true spirituality that sings in the heart. Many
churches of various faiths have started to move in this direction.
You speak with the
ancient wisdom of an old soul. How old are you? No
older than any of you! The “ingredient,” so to say, of every soul is the
love-light of Creator, and since all souls throughout the cosmos have the same
Beginning, we’re all the same age in the timelessness of the continuum. Persons
you think of as “old souls” have remembered more about their personage
lifetimes than “new” souls have, and that collective experiencing comes forth
as “ancient wisdom.” This applies to children as much as to octogenarians, who
have had many more years to remember what they know at soul level, and it is a
joy for us to see parents recognizing and nurturing this wisdom in their
youngsters.
What is the real story
about the Shroud of Turin? Sometime back in the eighth century someone came
across a length of linen that has been described as a burial cloth with a man’s
image. I don’t know who found it, and what I do know is no more than you: Since
its discovery, it has been an issue of scholarly debate and testing with no
conclusion. The Catholic Church hasn’t claimed it is the image of Jesus, but
many devout church members believe it is, and the shroud is considered a
religious icon.
Are the souls at your
station a “soul cluster”? Not in the sense that expression usually is
applied, to a group of souls who have shared many lifetimes together. Simply,
souls here have reached the same evolvement level through the self-discovery
process.
Could a remote viewer
pick up your Apostle Matthew lifetime? Yes, it is
possible, but I can’t imagine anyone with that capability having sufficient
interest to search the continuum for it. As I mentioned in the last message,
that lifetime isn’t at all notable in a universal context.
Let me speak a bit about
remote viewing. Linear time doesn’t exist in the continuum, so there’s no way
to know if something is in stages of going uphill or down. One remote viewer
who wants to see Earth’s future may see a planet that appears to be devastated
and deserted while another may see a beautiful planet with a flourishing
environment, and both viewers think they are seeing “future” Earth. Neither may
be seeing actual Earth—parallel worlds also exist in the continuum, which
compounds the complexity of determining what actually is being viewed.
Do you speak for all
souls there because you and your mother speak English and the others don’t? No.
All of us are familiar with all of your languages and dialects as well as the
spectrum of musical tones and colors that are modes of communication in many
spiritually advanced civilizations. Also, there is an unerring electromagnetic
translation system available to all souls throughout this universe. This is
known at soul level, and in your sleep state, some of you may be communicating
via that system. This can be with persons with whom you have love bonds in this
or other lifetimes in whatever language they speak now or participating in
meetings of various types of galactic or intergalactic federations or universal
councils.
Did you choose your mother
to send messages to because you two have shared many lifetimes? The
short answer is “yes,” but there’s more to it. My mother was my first
personage—we are like dots side by side on an infinite circle and “operate” on
the same high frequency. We have shared almost all of our thousands of
lifetimes as humans and other species in every relationship except as
enemies—we never wanted to play those roles and there was no disagreement from
others who shared the lifetimes. As for my sending messages to my mother, she
was a natural choice, and as part of our Ward family’s pre-birth agreement, she
agreed to clearly receive information that I and all the others would transmit
to her and she would handle the book publication and message distribution
tasks.
How and when do you,
Matthew, make a decision to embody another soul? Do you have knowledge of this
or does it just happen when source calls upon you? It
is the very same process for all souls. During the period in a spirit world
between embodiments, the soul reviews its immediate past life along with all of
its other personage lifetimes. The review reveals specific areas where the
cumulative knowledge hasn’t produced thorough learning as well as what is
needed for balanced experiencing. After the decision about choices for the next
embodiment is made, guidance may be offered by those who have mastered the
areas the soul chose for its personage, but it is the soul’s choice to accept
or decline assistance.
Let me restrict this
explanation to third density conscious awareness, where
almost always souls need and welcome guidance, and to lessons in dealing with emotionsbecause
those are needed especially by all souls of that evolvement status. And,
because your homeland planet is one of the finest schoolhouses in its galaxy
for emotional lessons, I shall use Earth and Nirvana for this example.
Always fear is the
foremost emotion that must be dealt with—fear is what keeps personages stuck in
third density and unable to see beyond what is feared. Furthermore, fears
spawns the severest of negative traits and actions: greed, prejudice, hatred,
lust for power, jealousy, tyranny, desire to control others, deceit, anger,
dishonor, war-like mentality, corruption. Because it can take thousands of
lifetimes to overcome feeling fearful, souls choose that lesson in tandem with
one of the characteristics born of fear, and for this example it will be anger.
You have a course called
“anger management,” Nirvana has a course that could be called “anger
replacement.” Time and again the soul is presented with situations that have
caused personages to react in anger so it can practice patience in those
situations, learn to consider them from other perspectives, and react calmly,
sensibly and constructively. When the soul and its advisers deem that practice
sessions have adequately prepared the new personage, the soul selects other
parts of its contract, then enters into a pre-birth agreement with souls who
will be its parents, siblings, mates, friends, mentors, and so forth in the
shared lifetime. The only relation to Source is the aim of every
soul—reintegration with God and whatever comes afterwards.
By omission of details
for the sake of brevity, my explanation of preparation may sound more like
punishment, and most decidedly it is not! Everything is done with love and
sensitivity—in the Oneness of All, advisers want the new personage to succeed
as much as the soul does—and practicing isn’t confined to an intense, grueling
short period. It can span several years and sessions can occur whenever the
soul wishes—advisers always make themselves available.
And, during the soul’s
residency in Nirvana, it has myriad non-practice activities to choose from,
such as traveling around the realm in whatever form of transport it wishes. It
can learn to manifest whatever it chooses, enjoy the company of friends and
family in the realm, work in meaningful positions, study whatever it wishes,
attend concerts and lectures by visiting masters, participate in the arts or
sports, telepathically communicate with beloved souls on Earth and in other
worlds. Life in Nirvana’s higher dimensions is sublime!
Reviewing collective
lifetimes may result in choices other than another Earth lifetime. If a soul
feels that its personages have mastered third density spiritual and conscious
awareness and advisers agree, its next personage can be born into a fourth
density civilization for advanced learning. Or, the personage can be born on
Earth to add its higher vibrations to the planet and help slumbering souls
awaken or serve the same way in a different civilization with third density
awareness—either way is an advancement in the soul’s growth. Also, highly
evolved souls who dedicated a lifetime to light service on Earth often return
to their homelands before choosing the next destination for continued growth.
Are you still in Nirvana
or have you incarnated somewhere? Although I’m not residing in Nirvana, I still
think of it as “home base,” where I return occasionally and briefly between
visits to physical civilizations in this galaxy and others. My service during
the past fifteen years has been evaluating their spirit worlds, which are their
equivalent of Earth’s Nirvana, and assisting in the upgrading; and wherever I
go, I manifest a form that fits in with the populace. Some civilizations live
at frequencies where bodies no longer are needed, and in third density worlds I
produce a body with a high enough frequency to prevent my becoming stuck in the
lower vibrations of the people.
During my visits to third
density worlds and those that recently reached fourth, often I am with souls
whose vibrations also are higher than the civilization at large. Always our
purpose is to assist the people and their homelands in their ascension process
and always our presence is by invitation, in accordance with universal laws.
What many of you are doing for Earth is similar. You left your worlds to answer
Gaia’s cry for help, and although you are providing assistance in diverse
ways—including exemplifying the power of innate qualities and strength—always your
high vibrations are helping the planet and her residents along their ascension
pathways.
Throughout your life’s
journey, the companionship, unconditional love, respect and admiration of light
beings throughout this universe are with you.
