A Transoceanic Exchange about Spiritual Search 3: Guidance
There was a pause in the exchange with my friend from the Pacific coast of South America (see the previous blog-posts). Then came an e-mail which touched me very much. It is a bit long but a beautiful example of inner guidance in a situation of danger. In the text I give her interjections in [brackets].
Like in the previous blog-posts, the first two photos are from South America – the following pictures are spring impressions from morning walks through our Swiss neighbourhood and not related to the content.
She: “I’m happy to have the opportunity to write to you again. You may ask yourself why I didn’t write any more. Something very strange happened to me one month ago and I’m still trying to find the real sense of that experience.
In one of my emails I said that some time ago I have been in a kind of ‘looking inside’ and I found the book ‘Jupiter‘ in WTT, as well as Pythagoras and other books from great masters. So, I tried to absorb and implement the teachings in my life. I moved to a flat far from my family (I don’t have neither husband nor children, I solve my life working in the field of information security).
Well, some day I had a dream (my father died last year from a heart attack) and he was dressed in a pure white and he told me, “Now I’m ready to help you!!” I answered… “Dad but no one will see you….” And he replied… “Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter”… That day I just woke up confused and I said… What? – And then…
To make a long story short… Some people who lived close to where I lived got confused, they thought I was another kind of person and those people were surprised and estranged that I did things like getting up early, meditate, going to the beach and say hello to the sea and fishes, walk, doing exercise, talk to the moon and things like that. (Actually they thought I was like an undercover police officer).
I was relaxed because I have been living alone for years but they were like suspecting that I was another person and you won’t believe me… I was one millimeter to death. They damaged my lock, jumped from the floor. Also they came to my house – without my permission – with the help of a person who cleaned there once a week.
I was able to escape because something strange happened … I felt like someone putting thoughts in my mind, like telling me do this and do that, take this taxi, change this way…. things like that…. I had to leave all my stuff in that place. I only could take with me just a little bag that day…
Finally, I travelled from one city to another but the way was full of people so they could do nothing but they crossed a van on the road with a very bad threat on its back. That’s why I had a kind of shock and I also was in a kind of quarantine because I was scared. But now I’m safe fortunately.
I can tell you that I’m aware of violence and war here in my country, but now I’m even more conscious and surprised about that.
During this time many thoughts came into my mind… Why now that I’m trying to do the best I can? Why me if I don’t do anything bad to people? … I don’t even want to damage animals, that’s why I’m trying not to eat them… Why now that I’m trying to be conscious of being grateful with God and the universe?…
I told you a summary of what happened in that time but I really can tell you that it is a miracle that I’m alive… So it’s not enough to be a ‘good person’ to be protected… as I see enlightened beings protected me and helped. But I think that it is not enough to be like ‘good’ (if I can deserve to say that)… but one has to pray for protection even if one thinks that one doesn’t deserve a bad thing… It is like you don’t have guaranteed protection… Beings can be ready to help you but if you pray then you give them a kind of ‘Go ahead’…
I don’t really know how to explain this but it’s like… spiritual beings can do marvellous things in your life but you still have free will. I realised that every single little thing happened because great and big forces (not just physical but spiritual) move the universe and, as a consequence, our hearts… not because something manipulates them but because we are a part of everything.
Finally, I want to tell you that I’m aware to be a volunteer is a process, and I’m aware that it is something for which there is no material retribution, and also I know that maybe my help is not useful now because I don’t have the knowledge that you may need for me to help. I just want to say that I’m here, whatever I be or whatsoever I know if I can help, I am here.”
Me: “Sorry for replying late – it’s not my usual way of replying but there was (is) a big wave of activities around. [Don’t worry, I understand 🙂 ] Thank you very, very, very much for your lines, sharing with me your profound experience. And most happy that you survived. [Thanks 🙂 ]
This is a clear sign of guidance from the spiritual world, maybe with the help of your father he promised to give, in the dream. Before already, in your childhood, you got into contact with the wisdom through the books in the house of your parents, but more so from the realm of the Initiates and Masters of Wisdom. Not having to boast about anything, but you had already resolved before to join into the work, in one way or the other. [Thanks 🙂 I’m grateful for it.]
It is very right that the Hierarchy does not interfere with free will, and that you have to permit them, again and again. The last Lunar Messenger ended with the words:
‘Within the higher octave of love of the Second Ray there is free will and the Masters of Wisdom respect the free will of humanity. They allow as much freedom as each soul wants. They are willing to help, but only when help is asked for. They do not impose their help. Unsolicited help is aggression. Often they say, “We can’t help you even if we want to help because you haven’t ask for our help at the right moment.” When there is a crisis or a calamity, we can drown in our crisis and if we don’t ask for help, no connection is made and the Hierarchy cannot reach us. The Masters are bound by the law of love; this love respects the free will. We may think, ‘What are the Masters doing anyway?’ They have to smile and wait to be asked. So, they wait and wish us well. That is one thing we should deeply ponder about. We can pray from the heart, with the heart.’ [Uff!…Now many things make sense! ]
So you might inwardly ask them about joining with the work at hand developing here, in the context of World Teacher Trust. From my side, I am sure that we will find a way to include you in the work, though as per your skills (information technology) it might need a little time. I would feel honoured if we can build / strengthen the bridge of light with you / this way with Colombia. [And it will be a honour for me to collaborate in build that bridge.]
In case, would you allow me to mention what you wrote? [Yes, absolutely, feel free because in my lines there are no details of these people or places, so it is safe to share.]”

Beautiful images that accompany the story, Ludger.
Also, being reminded that we must ask for help, then it is given.
And that we have free will.
Our group extends our greetings & well wishes to your friend
in South America. with love, Risa
