These weekends will get you ON TRACK and ENERGIZED.

Here is why Caryn Attended,
“I have a good life. I work too much, but I live with intent and love my kids and husband dearly. Yet I feel like there is something more I am meant to do spiritually. I want to find my ‘spiritual voice.’”

Here is what happened:
“One of the greatest things I got from the weekend is that I am working for God now! Now I know my path will keep unfolding for me when I am ready and the timing is right. It was wonderful!”

What F.K. had to say after his teleclass…
You just finished the teleclass and I want to thank you. You did such a great job and we did have an exceptional group. I have just started channeling with some success but your approach has been a tremendous help and confidence builder. I will be ordering some of your books this weekend so that I can do more studying to further my knowledge. You are an excellent teacher and put so much of yourself in the sessions that I feel that we are friends.
Thanks Again,

ASK THE ANGELS
We are excited about your response to asktheangels@angelspeake.com where you can ask the questions about the angels or about the world today. We will publish one or more in our E-Letter.

FROM TEXAS
Hello Barbara and Trudy,
I have been enjoying your Angelspeake newsletter and I have a metaphysical question for the angels:
Are our lives pretty much pre-destined to turn out the way they do or do we truly have freedom of choice?
I'd be very happy if you would ask them for me.
Thank you, Pam, Texas

The angels answer:
Dear Pam, we will say yes to both of your questions. All people have free will, which simply means that you choose the course of your life. Before you are born you decide nearly every circumstance of importance that you will need to place yourself where you can do the most work, be with others who will help you, and to learn lessons you have to complete or begin in this life. Your higher self (soul) and your angels are committed to helping you stay on track with these plans. There is a lot to do in a short period of time, and you have legions of beings on this side to help you.

So the answer to your question is, yes, your life is pre-destined (to a point) but it is you who have chosen the destination. You have much freedom of choice as to how. For instance, if in this life you are to work with animals, you might become a veterinarian, a rancher, work at a race track, or become a dog breeder. That would be your choice as to “how”. Many other choices would also be available to you, but for the big picture, we do everything we can to keep our promises to you so that you will be on course throughout your life. It is only when you begin to go away from the path that you have entrusted us to help you stay on does your life become miserable and difficult. But also remember this…at different phases of your life, you will walk your path according to your growth. How you walk your walk is ever changing.

THE ANGELS SPEAKE
We Asked Our Angels…
Three great religions all began with the great Prophet Abraham. The Muslims, the Jews, and the Christians seem to have been fighting for centuries. Now they are all fighting again in the place where it all began. Why?

Dear Children of all Faiths
All great books of prophetic wisdom tell the tale that there will be a war that will end all wars. The prophets state that when the end times come, the earth will be engulfed in conflict and afterward there will be peace of a deepness that has never been felt before. There have been many wars in the past centuries which have been thought to have been the “last” war, and yet there was another and another and another—each worse than the last. It seems to never end.

The lesson of this time is two fold. “To love your neighbor as yourself, and to love yourself as your neighbor.” That is all. Nowhere has it ever said to love yourself and your beliefs and your country and your ideas, and your thoughts more than your neighbor’s. When you say to “love your neighbor as yourself,” it means “I love my neighbor with my whole heart, my whole mind, and my whole soul for that is the way I can love myself the way the angels love me.” When you say to “love yourself as your neighbor,” it means to love yourself so well and so strongly, that you will tolerate nothing less than that kind of love for everyone. This is not ego. This is humility. This is saying that “I am good and the better I become, the more I can give to others.” Many try to believe this, but they have an underlying pride in it that says, “My way is good and loving, and it is the best way.”

UNCONDITIONAL love means “I love you just the way you are.” This implies that you are compatible. When a country fights another country or a faith tries to overpower another’s faith, you are saying “Your way is wrong and I will love you when you become more like me in thought, word and deed.” The love is conditional. It is probably true that unconditional love is a rare entity on earth. The fact that your planet is of duality/polarity would mean that the minute you would love another unconditionally it would begin to shift into another feeling since for every action there will be an opposite. The best example of unconditional love on earth would probably be between master and pet/animal. Not because of the way humans think, but because of the way animals think. They cannot hate. They can be taught to act like they do, but they cannot truly hate.

Let us talk again about PURE love. What is such a thing? Pure love is that you love. That is all. Your truth is “I love.” Not I love YOU, or I love HIM or HER, but just plain, “I LOVE” When you LOVE, you don’t judge, criticize, complain, condemn, or lie. There will be an aura of peace about you and you will be attractive to others because they will want what you have. When they are with you they will want your to share your wisdom. They will want to know you better. They will admire you. They will exclaim your virtues far and wide But, because you are all humans and really don’t understand such a love, there will come a time when you will be pulled down by the very people who revered you. It is the way of the world. Many of your greatest souls have proved this. Think of Joan of Arc, Gandhi, the Kennedys, Martin Luther King. Even countries. Think of Tibet, India, Pakistan, the entire Middle East of today. It is not possible to love PURELY when you have never been able to love anyone unconditionally.

It is not because the great religions do not love that they have wars. There are many loving people in all religions. It is because they love narrowly. They love MINE ONLY. The attitude is MINE IS BETTER!. My country, my beliefs, my faith, my understanding, my way. And what is mine? Mine is what I think. Mine is what I love and want to keep for myself. Yes, it goes full circle does it not?

There will be a time when there will be no division. It has already begun. Walls have come down, countries are creating new systems of government which may or may not prove better, and there is now a common method of exchange in Europe. Change has brought together many who were apart. It will continue. Children who are being born today are like none other before? Why? Because they will understand love as it has never been understood before. Their focus will shift from MINE to OURS, and then the world will begin to shift into a new energy that will not support ego, selfishness, wars, or lines of division.

When? It has begun. This current conflict is a part of the falling down so that a new pattern may begin. When things are truly immovable, there can be no growth. For growth to begin, there must be change. War, as horrible as it is, is fodder for change and many great people will come from the debris in order to shift the way of thinking from lovelessness and lawlessness to peace, commonality, and love. PURE LOVE will then be possible.

^O^ FAITH BUILDER: Treat yourself with love this day. Peace begins with you.

OTHER QUESTIONS AND E-MAIL
This week we have added some frequently asked questions and the angels’ reply as well as questions that many people asked in one way or another.

FROM ELIZABETH
I have a big question. What is wrong with me? Why can’t I see what I am supposed to be doing in life? I can’t seem to get a grasp on what is expected of me and I go from job to job and I am never satisfied with what I have picked for working. Help me. What do I do? Thank you, Liz

The angels answer:
Dear One, Be still. Be patient. Be good to yourself. Listen to your heart. Live just one day at a time. You are trying to rush ahead when all will be brought to you. Talk to us, we have much to teach you. Read about Peace of Mind at the top of this letter. No one knows their future. If they act like they do, they are wrong. Life is a mystery and that is the best part of it.
We are with you….Your Angels

(From B&T… you are the perfect person to attend a Spiritual Growth Weekend. You will find the answers to all of your questions there. And more.)

FROM JULIA
I watched your video on communicating with angels through writing and got results that I thought were amazing. I wish I knew if it really was my angels or wishful thinking.

The angels reply:
Dear Julia, why do you doubt the beautiful messages you receive from us? Whenever before have you asked for a message in such a way and then received such a loving reply? You saw in the video that others ,too have doubted, but when it came to the truth, even the most skeptical soul cannot deny that we love you enough to come to you, praise you, teach you, help you. You are worthy of all we have to give you – even messages. Believe it.

NAME: Cathie
comments: I purchased your book Angelspeake in February and started speaking with my Angels at that time although I have always believed my Angels have been with me. >My concern is that I'm not sure I am doing it correctly. There are times I know it is not me writing but then there are times I am not so sure. Could it be my subconscious and wishful thinking? Is there anyway to be sure? >Thank you for the joy the Angels have brought to me.

NAME: Julia
Dear Cathie, (reply from Barbara and Trudy)
Trust us, it is the angels. A good way to test it is to read what you received to a like-minded friend. He or she will assure you that you aren't making it up. First of all, you don't write to yourself in the 3rd person, which is how the angels usually (not always) talk to us.
Glad you are being so successful!
():-) Barbara and Trudy
