Pick a pumpkin, hop in that trailer back yonder and head off to the destiny the chosen gourd might hold, whatever jack-o-lantern or squash you might make. 

This time The Committee supplies the questions and the answers.

 ST = substitute teacher and C = The Committee

ST:       What’s an old soul and what’s a young one?

C:         This might refer to the number of times a life is undertaken on Earth or elsewhere.

ST:       Where is elsewhere?

C:         On another planet.

ST:       Why don’t or can’t we remember that?

C:         As the conditions and bodily forms can be much different, it could cause much confusion and better it is, for your moment and momentum – these are the same, thus similarity of word – to recall this not.

ST:       Just as we cannot often recall the most recent life on Earth?

C:         Yes, correct you are, yet prior lives on Earth are often more relevant and details can be recalled and remembered. With certainty there is recall of talents and abilities.

ST:       Is there a number range for an older, or a “medium grade” and also a young soul?

C:         No; the number of lives, progress within each and plan and pattern of learning are unique to each of you. As you review your experience on Earth, an urge you would call overwhelming will fall upon you, it will come over you, to learn more of what you have learned, to understand it in more depth and to return to it as soon as that can be done.

ST:       Why does this happen?

C:       Your perception of time creates a future and a past that appear distant. There are no distances imposed by time, in reality; each memory or event or experience fans out from where you are like the rays of a sunburst, and appear as does the sunlight streaming down through the openings in the clouds. Each experience is found along one of these glorious beams of illumination; all can be reached with equal ease and effort. As you experience your review, you will see into both your plan and your result and improvements will be as obvious, to use your Earth phrase, as a nose upon a face. You feel the desire to return and improve what you now understand so clearly. You simultaneously understand that with this insight now expanding within you, that you would have learned little in that place you held, when experienced from the perch of comprehension you now occupy. A desire to dive back into it and try again from a new place is strong. You can plan and preview what it will be like; there is not time or illusion of its distance imposed; we mentioned this small detail as déjà vu just a short moment ago. You know this will come about, when you live on Earth, but you do not feel its heaviness as you consider it from your home in Heaven; just as you know the sensation of jumping will be felt, long before strapping on a parachute and climbing aboard aircraft. This preparation is not the same as the sensation, of course.

ST:       Do older souls have a preference for types of experiences?

C:        Yes; a tragic experience and tragic death occur for the soul itself in the earlier lifetimes and for the older soul, this event is often more for the benefit of surrounding souls. Yet there is no set pattern; many exceptions there are.

ST:       Do we often overplay a life, that is, assume too much?

C:      This is a tendency, you overplan. You cannot overplay; much planning of many souls involves great conference. Your sleep involves this; when you temporarily depart, you could have this experience with a soul yet to be born to later – or immediately – enter your life, crossing though as it will appear to be casual or with importance. More common it is that a life plan is tempered before implemented; a soul often overshoots, in the first draft, the ability to navigate your lovely yet tough and rough Earth.

ST:       Did Erik just supply that “tough and rough” description?

C:         He did, indeed.

ST:    As you know Esteemed Committee, as this entry began, I wanted you to all speak on subjects random to us, as you do see importance. This hasn’t been; I’d like that.

C:       An honor. We would and will discuss bipolarity in human behavior, and a related condition, attention deficit and hyperactivity. This is a manifestation of your true selves as the struggle ensues to reconcile true nature to dense matter. A common notion is that a person hyperactive is affected, understood as less than desirable. This point-of-view is human; this is not, and we ask emphatically to capitalize NOT, this is NOT how we see a person named bipolar or hyperactive. These words are your name. This condition is but a struggle to slow down the vibrations and dimensions of your true home to fit within the limits a human body requires. The person speaking incessantly is demonstrating intent to communicate telepathically and naturally; quiet your mind for annoying chatter, to suspend the effect of time as the illusion of it. The message and your understanding then enter your thoughts and no dislike would you feel, in any way. You would understand and appreciate. In groups this is not as easy, as the drag of some plodding minds can slow the ability in this way, temporarily. When speaking individually or in a smaller group, such collective effect is less; you might do this automatically, possibly with some practice?

ST:       So treatments for bipolarity miss the point?

C:     This we would not say; for each circumstance is unique. Good treatment can be a component of the life plan, and thus it is. We have seen medication with children considered hyperactive; this often sad to see, it is. These children, they are especially and more than adults in this time on your Earth, they are the vanguard, the new way and the new method. They struggle, especially, to fit in yet also change course as they try; each in their way that contributes to a course alteration for humanity, for the betterment of you all. You encounter great souls of prominence when you have met with a youngster that hyperactive is, by your definition. Seek not concern for this child; consider your good luck, for blessed you have been to cross paths on Earth with such an admired soul. A true King of the Heavens you have seen.

We also mention autism, seen as an opposite, unrelated condition. The withdrawn person. A lessened ability, often, to assume a human body as considered ideal. We must then ask what is the ideal, how is it decided and applied? This comment can seem silly, yet it is not; no conference was held and no votes taken for acceptability. Expectations of behavior are your own; diverse may be the sources yet no obligations do they impose and no desire do they create in the mind of a person encountered. It is often said in your English language, that behavior rises and adapts to expectation. Mind reading is not effective to make known such expectations, not on Earth or in your true homes. Certain it is that more information is available, as good psychics have shown, and by comparison to what you have on Earth, indeed much information is here available. Not absolute this is; shame, privacy, embarrassment and vanity do not exist to restrict it. Yet there is not unlimited reach into knowledge of another soul; it falls upon any soul to express wants and desires, on Earth as it is in Heaven. An expectation of behavior benefits the expector greatly as is studied the expectation, to include consideration of the variation called autistic. To encounter a withdrawn, quiet person with little apparent desire or ability to interact has much not obvious meaning and purpose. As with the hyperactive or bipolar pattern, the autistic label is another Queen or King of Heavens on Earth to experience these times. She or he wrestles with the pressure the existence imposes; inside a spacesuit with a sealed closed helmet; dampened sounds incoming and words outflowing muffled; what you might see, limited but for that of your concentration. Begin and appreciate what is lived by this person. You look upon a soul of much bravery, purpose and passion as you see their eyes; know you have before you a soul of courage and of influence.

ST:       Is the rate of incidence of these conditions now higher?

C:         Yes; a product and proponent of the times you now live.

ST:       Will the more extreme cases improve or worsen over the next few years, with the “shift”?

C:         Generally there will be improvement, as you might understand this, yet also there might be seen worsening and deterioration, but this will be the lesser effect by a large margin, it will. Congruence of vibrations will underlie the effect; the soul struggling to adapt – either the limits to cause withdrawal or slowness or hyperactivity, the oscillations of behavior –  will become less. The various discords come closer. We refer to your music; you spell, in English, a combination of pleasing notes sounded simultaneously, as a “chord”. As in sound waves and all others, the vibrations of your energy are also this and will come to eliminate dissonance as it now occurs. This will, for many, lessen effects. Many will be erased; personalities revealed.

ST:       Committee, we’ve run close to or over quota?

C:         Then do come back soon after you have re-set your limits, for there are none! Good day to all.
