Question:  Does the use of anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication in any way stifle the spiritual growth of human beings?  Especially in these hectic times, I wonder if in any way the use of medication for our emotions is something that will not allow us to fully experience the current evolution of our spirit forms at this critical juncture.

Higgins:  The belief that medications will make you feel better is what stifles spiritual growth.  Anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medications stifle the guidance system itself. Although stifling the guidance system may slow your spiritual evolution it will not cease spiritual evolution for your Broader Self will never cease to guide you.

Every individual has their own Broader Self offering guidance in the form of emotion. One’s Broader Self guides based upon pre-birth agreement that is unique to each individual.  Positive emotions indicate thought, word or action is in a accord with pre-birth agreement.  Negative emotions indicate thought, word or action is not in accord with pre-birth agreement.

Before your birth you agreed that when you experienced negative emotion you would move away from that which caused discomfort.  If your thoughts caused negative emotion you would change your thought pattern.  If words caused discomfort then you would cease the direction of conversation.  If action caused you discomfort then you would make a new action plan.

Most of you are taught to disregard emotions.  It is in the disregarding of emotions that one is lead to long term feelings of negativity that are being treated with medications. We encourage you all to respond to your emotions.  When you feel negative about a thing, make a change.  In the early stages of learning to follow emotions you may cast around a bit.  That is ok.  Feel free to change your mind often until you find a path that brings feelings of relief, then strength or power, then fulfillment and satisfaction and finally happiness.

Something many of you seem unwilling to do is change direction.  If life were a football game and a play did not work, wouldn’t you try another play?  When some aspect of life isn’t working for you, try another game plan.  That doesn’t mean try the same thing again. It means think up something different and tackle the same issue with a new approach. And do it right away, don’t wait.

This is an important topic and we encourage more questions should further clarification be desired.

Offering from Higgins:

Consider this:

Love is at the foundation of your being.  Love is something you are.  Love is an emotion.

What most of you mean when you say “I love you” is “I am love and in this moment you have drawn from me this wonderful feeling of deep appreciation for who you are.”

Because the love that you are is experienced as an emotion it comes and goes.  One cannot feel love every moment since emotions are offered continually throughout every day as guidance from Broader Self and one cannot experience two emotions at the same time.

Expect the feeling of love to come and go.  Seek aspects of others to appreciate and allow yourself to be offered, by Broader Self, the emotion that is love often.

Offering from Higgins:

Let’s say you are old.  You are old, hundreds of thousands of years old, but let’s say we’re talking about chronological human years.  Let’s also say that your body is failing, perhaps significantly.  What is one to do?

If you feel complete there is nothing to do.  Enjoy the time you have left in this physical existence.

If you do not feel complete.  If somehow your current life experience and physical condition seem wrong for you then read on.

*You are eternal beings, growth seeking beings.  You are not designed for stagnancy. Continual growth is a requirement for a satisfactory life experience.

*Know also that the body is designed to work smoothly and without fail until the day that you depart this physical existence.

*It is never too late.

With those three points in mind, regardless of chronological age or physical disrepair, you can shift your life towards complete fulfillment and satisfaction by deciding to do so. Once a firm decision has been made to choose a life of fulfillment and satisfaction you will begin to have impulses.  Follow those impulses.  Given enough time and commitment they will lead you to a life of pleasure.

This path to excellent health and complete pleasure can be fairly lengthy time wise. Remember to enjoy the journey by noticing all the ways in which your life is gently improving. And should you suddenly become aware that you’ve taken a step in the wrong direction simply change your mind and take a new direction.  There are no mistakes and there is great joy in the pursuit of happiness.

Offering from Higgins:

Let’s say that you’re not interested in information from channeled beings.  Maybe you don’t believe in God.  Perhaps you have no idea what emotions are for and frankly don’t care.  All you want is to feel better and have a life that is better than what you have now.

Good.  We have a response to that.  Choose what it is about your life that you’d like to change and then do something everyday towards making that change.  It may be small things at first but you’ll know you are on the right track because it feels better to have done It, whatever It is, than not to have done It.

Offering from Higgins:

Here is a simple process for improving your life and the world around you. Pick a word that describes what you want in your life. Let’s say for example that you would enjoy a life that was more harmonious.

Each day intentionally do something that creates harmony in your household. It could be something simple such as folding the laundry or emptying the dishwasher.  The important thing is that whatever action you take the intent of the action is to create harmony in your home.

That action now repeats itself throughout the universe much like dropping a stone in a pond.  With this intentional action harmony is created in your home, your life, around your planet and indeed, throughout the universe.

Question:  Given the shift in earth dynamics—the time for making shifts in one’s life—has this shortened/lengthened in chronological time?  (i.e. we notice that since meeting Higgins some are shifting at 2 years, 3 years, 5 years—is that time sequence still the same manifestation?)

Higgins:  Indeed, the Earth is shifting.  You physicals are required to shift with the Earth.  Some of you will and some of you won’t.  Among those of you that do, some will shift more quickly than others.  What you are noticing is that shifts are coming more quickly for you now than when you first heard our wisdom.  And you notice that change is also coming more quickly among other physicals following this same wisdom.  What you are seeing and noticing is the gathering of momentum brought forth by your intention and continual practice upon these understandings, rather than a speeding up secondary to the shift the Earth is making.  At the same time, know that the speeding  up of the Earth cannot be separated from the spiritual growth that physicals make during this time.

As you and others like you gain understanding and develop your practical usage of that wisdom then there will come a shift, a quickening, in how those new to Universal Understanding will assimilate this understanding.

Perhaps what you are not yet understanding or aware of is that you are already a part of this quickening, meaning those that have shared this wisdom before you created the space in which you could assimilate and make change in your life at the intervals you did, and your understanding will make space for others to gain understanding yet more quickly.

Question:  What causes me to feel empty inside, like I have a big hole in the middle of my gut?

Higgins:  Marvelous, brilliant! Acknowledge that hole! That center is your being-ness point. You do not communicate from your head.  Your head is much more like a receiver and a sender. True communication radiates from the body, primarily from the center of the body and most intensely from the heart. Much goes on from your head but your solid connection with all that is self (body, sense of I, and Broader Self) goes on here, in this hole. When the information sent from Broader Self in the form of emotions and impulses is responded to consistently over time that hole will fill up.

Question: Are the family members we have here in physical a part of an agreement we had before we got here to share a purpose or common lesson? The members of my immediate family in particular seem to have common emotional issues that need to be dealt with, like depression and low self worth at the lower end of the scale.

Also, do we have family units in non-physical? I’ve heard other people talk of soul families in non-physical.

Higgins: The brief answers to your questions are yes and yes.

Soul Family is perhaps the best way to describe a non-physical family unit. Think about a single cell. When that cell grows to a certain size it divides. You physicals are eternal beings and eternally evolving and growing. When the essence that is you grows to a certain point it launches another part of itself that has its own sense of ‘I’. Rather than vision this new ‘I’ as a baby, think of this new ‘I’ as two of you. Like identical twins being born already grown- up.

There are many within your Soul Family and as the ‘family’ grows groups break off to pursue other directions.

The answer to your first question is both yes and no. There are many variables in the full answer to this question. We will do our best to explain in words.

In nearly every case, the soul that is born has preplanned their birth. Many times the birth was planned before the parent was birthed. There is typically some common expression among them or one’s weakness or strength may be desirable to another. However, and this is important regarding the answer, depression and other bodily afflictions are passed energetically along.

You and your Earth family did not come here to experience depression. Depression is a side effect of not living out your true purpose and heart’s delight. So what is happening is something like this: your parents came forth expecting to express their heart’s delight. The Earth realm was found to be overwhelmingly dense and they were sucked in like being stuck in quicksand. Now each of you, your siblings, come forth and expect to live your heart’s delight but find yourselves also with quicksand sucking you under. You struggle to stay afloat. (Friend, you personally feel yourself getting stuck and struggle to stay afloat, yes?) The earliest close mentors are typically parents and older siblings. What you see you tend to copy. There was no other template for you to follow and the understanding that one chooses one’s way is missing on Earth and only now being rediscovered.

Remember also that vibration attracts like vibration and while for a short time in youth one holds one’s own naturally cheerful demeanor it is tarnished early and often seriously undermined and even destroyed by a very young age. This is because the dominant household vibration is most often held by the adults in the home.

The meat of this answer is thus: follow your heart’s desire. Do not settle for ‘no’. Nothing that you desire is unachievable unless you give up or change your mind. By gently and persistently following your heart’s desire you will attain happiness and prosperity and satisfaction.

Question: What can you tell us about this planet Niburu? Is it real and will we be seeing its return in the next few years?

Higgins: What we can tell you about Niburu: Niburu is a large planet, yes. Not however, orbiting around your sun. Its path is much greater and every so often comes close to the Earth/Sun system. While on some of its circuits it does encompass your sun, your sun is not its center.

To understand how it may affect your Earth think of your own body. You have an aura and that aura can be felt by others, if they are attuned enough, prior to your physical arrival in any given location. The non-visible ‘aura’ of Niburu has, many years past, brushed into Earth’s ‘aura’ causing some disruption on both planets, but more on Earth for it is the smaller of the two.

Niburu will pass by Earth again but too far in your future to be of current concern. Instead, consider your own actions and the effect you have upon your Earth. You are far more immediately influential upon this planet’s well-being than Niburu.

Think of two cars brushing against one another because the driver’s of one or both cars were inattentive. Be attentive drivers of your lives and your planets. You on Earth worry not about Niburu. You on Niburu worry neither about Earth nor its inhabitants.

That is all upon Niburu.
