I do about traveling to another dimension? Tell me the truth. I want to know how to space travel.

I am sorry, but I do not know how to travel to higher dimensional worlds. In an exceptional case of near death experience, a person's soul happen to split out of his/her body and peek the other world. But, with the present level of science, it is impossible for ordinary person to travel to another dimensional world. In order to go to another dimension, we have to exceed velocity of light. But we have not invented such fast vehicle yet.

I am in love with someone, what magic spell should I use to woo her?

I am sorry, but I do not know any magic spell that you want. I think you do not have to use magic spell to make her happy. Please imagine an ideal relationship between you and her, imagine what you can do for her to make her happy. You may have no confidence in yourself, so you unconsciously try to compensate for your lack of confidence. I suppose that, for that purpose, you try to utilize magic spell to conquer her . If you conquer and obtain her, you may satisfy your desire, but you will not become happy. I mean satisfying worldly desire will not make you happy. It is far from true self-realization. You should not ask for what you can do for your own desire, but ask for what you can do for her. You should not live for your desire, but live for others. Then you will find the meaning of life in living for others. Sometimes it is very painful for us to look straight ourselves as we are. Nevertheless I believe that everyone has his/her court of conscience that is a diamond of his/her heart. You should bend your ears to voice of conscience.

I wonder why the Great Guiding Spirits of Light (El Cantare, Amor, Therabim...) don't come to Earth as a leader woman?

I think that Great Saviors come down to the earth as male forms just because, as a matter of fact on this third dimensional world, they can do their missionary work more efficiently and more effectively compared with working as a female. I mean it is more convenient for them to save people. In the Heavenly Realms, there are female Angels. But the Great Guiding Spirits of Light do not have gender consciousness, they are just an immense energy. In general, whether and how soul groups(or soul brothers/sisters) have gender consciousness in the heaven depend on their own spiritual levels. Soul brothers consist of male souls, female soul sisters consist of female souls. Some soul brothers consist of brothers and sisters. Some souls choose their own gender when they come down to the third dimensional world.

I understood that spirits are linked into small groups, and only one comes on Earth at one given period of time. Then, if El Cantare is the reincarnation of Buddha, who is the Dalai-lama?

Lamaism or Tibetan Buddhism is one of the well-known major Buddhist sect in the world. Dalai lama is spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism and considered as emanation of Avalokiteshvara(one of Bosatsu(bodhisattva)/Buddhist angels), an enlightened being who embodies the compassion of past, present, and future Buddhas(enlightened ones). According to the their teachings, when Dalai-lama died it was the duty to discover the child in whom the previous Lama had become reincarnate. In short Dalai lama is not incarnation of Gautama Siddhartha Shakyamuni, he is regarded as incarnation of Avalokiteshvara(one of Buddhist angels). But the Great Guiding Spirits of Light do not come down to the earth so often and they stay in Heavenly Realms for more than some hundreds or some thousands years. The word 'Buddha' has three meanings. First it means the founder of Buddhism 'Gautama Siddhartha Shakyamuni' and it sometimes means 'God' and it means 'enlightened ones'

If we're all God and have divine natures -- then why do we act so badly?

It goes without saying that we are not gods, but we have just buddha/divine nature and potentiality to go up to godhood. After rain, as if sunlight is divided into rainbow colors on the earth, the God's Light is divided on this third dimension into different colors of virtue such as love, bravery, kindness, courtesy, considerative and so on. In my opinion, ultimately divinity must be the greatest omniscient and omnipotent unique nature in the highest dimension, but as dimension comes down, divinity is divided into different colors. Consequently as a child of god each soul has his/her own personality and tendency, and he/she has been granted the freedom of mind. His/her opinion and attitude of mind toward circumstance is different from each other on this world. Then his /her judge and action is different from each other. And in many cases in the course of exerting one's ability, each person's freedom of choice and of action cause conflicts with each other. We can safely say that 'Badness' is a friction between two souls both are striving to make progress and to pursue happiness. We are not mature enough to keep always harmony with others and we apt to think other persons acting badly. As a matter of fact, bad things or crimes occur when there are others around you. If you were in an isolated island alone, what kind of bad things or crime would you do except destruction of nature? When we do good things, we have to take care appropriate 'timing', 'place' and 'occasion'. For example, when a doctor gives medicine to his patient, he has to take care patient's symptom, timing of giving, amount of medicine and so on. If the doctor makes mistake about his prescription, good medicine turns into poison. Likewise when we act, we have to take care circumstance. Addition to that, we are sometimes influenced by evil spirits that are suffered from disease of soul. Any way, a man of virtue does not act badly. Let us aim at a man of virtue.

If we're reincarnated, in other words given that lucky second, third, and fourth etc, etc chance to "get your karma right" - then why when we are faced with death, do we fight to preserve our life instead? It's a God given instinct, even animals act to preserve their life rather than just give it up.

We should not give up our lives, because life on this world is a chance to train our soul. To preserve oneself is one of instincts of creatures as you pointed out. Our body is a boat of our soul on this world. Our soul is eternal but our body is fatal. We need this boat and we protect and preserve our boat to sail from birth to death. Giving up one's own life is negative attitude to life. If you need your car in daily life, you would not dispose of your car before you try to fix it. We need our body to sail and we should not deal with our body roughly. No one knows about the other world practically with exception of near-death experience and someone who has psychic power. Or we are fearful what will happen after our death unless we believe the existence of the other world. But no matter how firmly we believe in the other world and reincarnation we do not know the other world practically, because we lost our memories of the other world when we were born on this world. So I should say that even if somebody believes in the other world, he/she is worried about whether he/she will go heaven or hell. Because no one is confident enough that he/she thinks him/herself eligible for going up to heaven.

Can one learn from their mistakes from each lifetime? We both know the answer, it is NO, because.....we can't remember them because of the forgetfulness in our consciousness, so we keep on repeating the mistakes. Do you call this divine?

Yes, we can learn from our mistakes and successes during lifetime. In the course of some thousands or thousands or more reincarnations, onetime we might have trained spiritually well and have been in fifth dimensional heavenly realm, onetime we might have failed to train and have gone down to hell and had to spend long time to examine our conscience and conduct. But I believe our soul have gradually evolved, though sometime our soul might have retrograded temporarily. You will find your soul have developed after you go back to Real World. Our souls are immature and we are not wise enough, so that we repeat same mistakes. We often need to make same mistakes twice or three times to learn, as if, when we played tennis or golf we would made same mistakes again and again until we come to play well. We have to study what is good but also we need to practice good things to acquire it.

Assuming that we reincarnate between this world and the other world. Is it fair to be punished for something we can't remember and are doomed to repeat? Open your eyes -- reincarnation is a punishment not a learning process.

The system of reincarnation is not punishment, it is a system that gives us chances. You should think positively as far as you want to be really happy, because thought has physical power or power of creation. Positive thinking attracts good result. 'The law of cause and effect' governs universe, then 'As you sow, so you shall reap'. If you act badly, you will be given bad results that seems to be punishments. When children take examinations in school, they can think examinations either as punishments or as opportunities for learning, though examinations themselves contains same questions. If you think them as punishments, you will not get good results. To punish is an act that someone try to show off his/her own power and authority to others. Genuine God does not give us punishments. Modest enlightened one does not show off his/her own power. During lifetime on this world, there probably are several trials that we have to overcome, but Buddha (God) does not give us trials that we can not endure, much less punishments. Our soul has tendency (or I should say we are not wise enough) and we are apt to make same mistakes again and again. But I am sure that we never be doomed to repeat same mistakes. It is up to you what you do at next moment. We should make resolution not to repeat same mistakes.

Where is the evidence that the world is actually progressing morally or spiritually from this system? Are we really getting better? If ignorance is what hinders our spiritual progression, why would the soul, prior to its inhabiting a body, cause itself to forget what it did in the past and hinder the very progress its trying to attain? This is like studying for a test to do your best but when it comes time to take the test, you purposely forget everything you studied.

We are surely progressing spiritually through so many reincarnations. You will understand your spiritual improvement after you go back to the other world. If I could show you evidence that you want, our teachings must be a science. If I could demonstrate reincarnation to you, you would not come to believe it, but you would come to know it. If I could demonstrate reincarnation to you, we would just have to learn about reincarnation in school. If Jesus Christ had been able to demonstrate that God was love and love was God, he did not had to be put on the cross at Golgotha. In recent years, some scientists wrote books on reincarnation. Everyone can read those books. Some psychiatrists reported that their clients remembered their previous lives under hypnotism. The Real world is the other world, and we come down to this world in order to train our soul. When we are born on this world, we have forgotten our memories. We need to start from scratch on this world to train our soul. If someone remember his/her previous life, would he/she make effort enough, or would he/she be swayed to his/her own experience? In order to cultivate our personality and train our soul, do you think which is better remembering previous lives or forgetting them?

If believing in karma we are all free persons, why does its law of nature take away our own choices? Where's the freedom in that really?

In general, every soul has his/her tendency of own soul. And we had planned our own subject to learn and practice in this life before we were born on this world. Life is like a voyage. While we sail, we cultivate our personality and develop our souls. The stream of this life is doomed to a certain extent. During our lifetime from the upper stream to the lower reaches, there are some rapid streams and slow-movings. They might be in your thirties or forties, they might be difficulties such as diseases or conflicts with others or some accidents. Teachings (Dharma or Gospel) are rudders and oars to row a boat, and we need them to manage to pass rapid streams. However it is up to you whether you row a boat along the right bank or along the left bank or through middle of rapid steams, it depends completely on you whether you use rudders and oars or you do not and are carried away by rapids. It is up to you whatever you do, as if university students ought to study, but it depends on themselves whether they study hard or waste their precious time.

Do you really believe love is THE answer? That we should listen to our hearts only? Oh please, the heart is deceitfully wicked.

We advocate the Fourfold Path -love, knowledge, reflection and development. Giving love is the beginning to practice. Besides we should reflect on what we have thought and think and what we have done and do in order to refine our mind through meditation. And we should keep positive mind to develop utopia on this world. Love is first step to create a utopia in one's own mind. And we should keep in mind that we need wisdom when we give love others well, so we have to learn many things. I admit that the surface of mind is deceitful, but if you quest your deep mind you will find honest conscience. Sometimes it is very difficult and for us to contemplate our mind deeply, because we always find dirty things in our mind. Sometimes reflection is unbearable for us. However we must not avert our eyes from reality. Our surface of consciousness may try to deceive ourselves. Nevertheless, unless we face reality, we will not able to cultivate our character.

Why do you believe we're supposed to be elevating ourselves to godhood? In other words how do you believe that the universe isn't big enough for one true God, but it is big enough for a bunch of little ones? I'm not God, I did not put this planet or universe and all life here, neither did you or the other lost new agers. One, that's one true God did it all.

I would like to clarify the definition of god. You used a word 'god' as 'the Creator'. But the word 'god' is polysemic. When we talk about Greek or Roman myth we call dramatis personae 'Gods' and 'Goddess'. We explain the relationship between 'the Creator' and 'Gods/Goddess' from the view point of multi-dimensional universe. Great Saviours came down to this three dimensional world from ninth dimensional universe and saved people. High spirits in ninth dimensional universe are the highest spirits who have experienced this world as human beings, and they are in charge of this planet earth. The Creator exists higher than twenty dimensional universe. High spirits from ninth dimensional universe were prophets as well as Great Saviours. They prayed to God. And those who helped Great Saviours from heaven were not the Creator in the highest dimension, but sometimes high spirits in same ninth dimension. High spirits sent inspiration from ninth dimension to Great Saviours on third dimensional world. We usually use the word 'god' when we call the Creator, but sometime we use the word when we call high spirits in high dimensional Realm who used to be Great Saviors. You may know about macrocosm and microcosm. We often call universe macrocosm and call human body microcosm. From the aspect of God the Creator, the galactic universe might be seen as a microcosm. Though macrocosm and microcosm are relative, we use words 'universe' or 'space' when we call either macrocosm and microcosm. Likewise we use the word 'god' as the Creator and as high spirits in heaven.

This is very good but it is too limited in that it seems to exclude Jainism in the worlds major philosophies. Jainism in its emphasis on self-control and conquest of Greed,vanity, and attachment. The letting go and gaining equanimity (peace of mind) and the conquest of wrong desires; drugs, alcohol, tobacco, caffiene, selfish sex, also in a perfect world we would not slaughter animals for food is the highest ethic, also environmentalism. thank you.

I have to try to clarify some differences between Buddhism and Jainism, because they both have same Hindu background and arose in 5th century in India. On the surface they share some same concepts such as reincarnation, karma and commandments, and they have common characteristics. The founder of Buddhism Buddha Shakyamuni grew up in royal family and he was so rich that he lived in comfort and did not know any pain. Since he was young he was contemplative, and he was not satisfied with all his heart. Finally, he renounced the world and started doing all kinds of penance (religious austerities and ascetic practices). He tried to look for his mentor, but he could not meet any mentor. He became weaker and weaker through penance. Six years later, when he was starving with a fast, he was given a bowl of gruel as charity by a girl and he recovered from starvation. Then he realized that ascetic practices are useless to attain enlightenment. This is the point that parted Buddhism from Hinduism. He experienced wealthy life and ascetic practices. He did not find a way to attain enlightenment nor to attain happiness in materially luxurious life nor in hard penance. There were no answer in extremes. He was convinced that he should take 'the Middle Way' between those extremes. He persuade himself the right way must be in quest for mind. He might think that material ascetic life is not enough, the most important thing is to remove attachment in your mind. The attachment in mind is what sticks to your mind. On the other hand, Jain priests treated their body so harshly that they sometimes killed themselves. Even when a priest died because of hard ascetic practices, they celebrated that the priest became a 'jina (winner).' According to Jainism, if you become a jina (winner), you will get free from reincarnation and you will not have to be reborn. Because every conduct you do is karmic and if some dust (particle) is stuck to your soul through your conduct, you have to be reborn onto this world due to your conduct. I feel this doctrine seems to be too negative. We do not always do bad conduct but we do positive and good conduct. According to Jainism, you can not find any positive meaning to be reborn this world. The attitude of Jainism to training seems to be an escape from the question how we should live, what is life, why we are born? Jaininsts and some Buddhist sects consider reincarnation as negative system and they try to get free from this circulation. Then they think that if they can attain enlightenment, they can be liberated from this circulation and they will not have to be reborn to this world any more. For that purpose they practice penance to avoid some particles is stuck to their soul. They tend to focus on not to do bad conduct. They define that emancipation is to get free from reincarnation. Differences between Buddhism and Jainism come from the viewpoint of reincarnation system and of life on this world. I think that we should consider reincarnation as more positive system than Jain, and we do not have to consider reincarnation as punishment. I consider reincarnation system as mercy by Eternal Buddha (God). We are given opportunities to cultivate our character and improve ourselves through reincarnation. No one can escape from reincarnation but we reincarnate between this world and the other world in order to improve ourselves to approach to angels and gods and goddess. I mean that emancipation is phased and it is endless steps to approach to god. Until sixth dimensional universe, people reincarnate to improve themselves, but higher than sixth dimension they reincarnate to save people of their own accord. Jainism keep commandments very strictly. For example, some followers make it a rule not to eat meat but to eat only plants, because the commandments say 'Do not kill.' I think that there is no reason why we should not eat animals but we should eat only plants. Are animals closer to God than plants? The commandment 'Do not kill' means 'Do not kill other people' and 'Do not kill animals and plants more than you need to eat.' I think all foods, clothes, science, technologies ...... are gifts given by God.

I have another question? What shall I do?
