During a meditation a group member got an image relating to new influences coming to the earth. Jacob responded to what she had seen in the meditation.
Jacob: There are new beings coming into the earthly plane, new teachers. You should not make too much of this you understand. For there are many on your planet at this time who talk about new comings, new beginnings. It is true that there will be more teachers coming into your plane, to help you; evolved souls, advanced souls, to encourage and to help with the promulgation of wisdom. But it is not that it is so different to what has gone before. It is just that there is more of a special effort being made at this point in time. So there are no new gems in the shop window, just a few more. But they will be a help to the age.
Stuart from the UK asked: I have a great interest in the afterlife. I end up surfing the net and coming across lots of different sites. I end up worrying myself with what quite a few people seem to be predicting about the earth's future, in that if we don't change our ways and our attitudes there will be lots of natural disasters with many returning to spirit. People say that because of the coming Golden Age things will change dramatically before the New Age can be welcomed in.
Hai: We should not look to New Age dawning which is apart from your own heart. When the New Age dawns in one heart there is the hope, the start, the beginning of the birth of the New Age for all. Therefore the New Age must take root, must have its birth within the hearts of all. Then there may be hope of great progress, great change. But you should not view natural disasters as some kind of affliction from heaven; some kind of punishment from heaven. If this is the way, perhaps, that this person is perceiving this, it is not the case. Natural disasters are of the physical earth, because they are the nature of the physical earth. Forces, powers which are released within the earth, must have their expression at times. It is not as a punishment to mankind.
Therefore, we would say not to worry about the dawns of new ages but rather to awaken in your own hearts the promise of the dawn of a New Age by embracing your brother, by embracing your sister in love. For it is through great compassion, all embracing compassion, that the New Age will unfold. It is through this means alone. We would not wish you, we would not say to you, that you should be distraught or discouraged or apprehensive about your future, the future of the earth; but walk forward in hope, in optimism. Walk forward above all with love and compassion and embrace all and embrace all nations with your love and compassion and through this means you will spread love around the world.
Michelle from Australia asked: Is it nearly the time and if so what should we do?
Hai: It is always the time. It is always the time to take the first step forward on the right road from having wandered off the right road as we all do.
