Jolin the Schoolteacher: Feeling principles in our hearts, not just knowing them with our minds

Jolin lived in Scotland when last on the earth plane and was a schoolteacher. He gave some information to a member of the Meditation Group about a past life and was asked whether the person had returned to earth since then. Jolin gave the person the information and then added:

Jolin: Who is counting there are so many. (He was referring to us all having many lives here). They are like chapters in a book. We read one chapter, we live one chapter, and then we move on to another chapter. Sometimes it is an exiting chapter. Sometimes it is a boring chapter. Sometimes it is a chapter rich in experience. Sometimes it is a chapter (laughs) boring with experience. Sometimes it is a chapter full of relationships. Sometimes it is different.

Q: What did you learn from your last life on earth?

Jolin: To be patient.

Q: Do you mean when you taught the children?

Jolin: Yes to be patient; to be patient in conveying learning to them; to perceive the longer picture, the broader picture. There were many who were not patient, but because they were not patient it put people off learning. They grew irritable, impatient with the speed of learning of the children, then got irritable with them and put them off. But if you were patient, even if the child did not get it at the time, did not have the interest at the time, at some point in the future they may come back to it because of your patience.

It is like a kettle on the stove, if you keep heating it, even gently, the water will simmer and eventually boil. So you must be patient. Nature is patient but we do no learn from it. We think: "Oh, that is nature, it's different with us." It's got to be now (laughs). But we should learn from nature to be patient. Everything in its own season, and its own time and place.

Q: I am told I came back this time to learn patience, or to refine my patience.

Jolin: You have one with you (a guide) who could not be better to help you. She's so gentle she's like a flower unfolding, so gentle, a beautiful yellow flower, golden flower.

Q: How does she influence me to be patient?

Jolin: You feel her aura. She touches your aura, touches your vibration to help you to experience her patience, to feel her patience, and then you know what it is. For when we learn things, qualities, dispositions, ways of being, we must touch them, we must feel them. You understand me? Not just with our minds. We must not just think them with our minds, through our concepts. We must feel them here (touching the heart area). So you could speak of patience, you could write books about it, and you could talk about it endlessly. You could develop all kinds of concepts about it, but yet still not really know it. Do you follow me? You know it when you feel it inside, when it is part of your inner soul and being. Like it is, - oh, how shall I say? It is like the wood of the tree. It is ingrained in you and you know then what it is to be truly patient and you can feel it in your bones; feel it in your bones this patience, that's when you know you are patient. (Smiles). You must feel it inside, like a cup of tea, which you have drunk and you feel it inside.

Guest Speaker on Patience and Spreading Your Wisdom to Others

One night we were joined by a Guest Speaker who was very focussed on giving us his message. He did not provide us with a name.

Q: What did you learn from your life?

Guest Speaker: I learnt to be patient, to be greatly patient for there is no merit in being anything else but patient; patient as you grow up. Is it not a fact that children especially when they get to a certain age want to grow up fast? Then they regret growing up, for they value what they had in their childhood. And then as we grow older we wish to be married, wish to advance our career, wish to seek retirement and so it goes on. Rather than valuing each moment as it comes and being content. Therein we seek forever the illusive (smiles) philosophers stone yet not realising that we have it within our grasp. Every moment of every day, we are in our own contentment if we only could learn to be content, to be content. All will come to pass as all will come to pass soon enough. No need to hurry it on. Better to be happy and enjoy the moment, (big sigh) yes.

Q: Did you enjoy the moment when you were on the earth plane last?

Guest Speaker: Yes I tried to, I tried to be calm and philosophical and to enjoy the moment. Not always easy of course for the mind succumbs to its games; fails to maintain that calm of mind which is necessary to see things clearly. But I did what my best effort would accomplish and I tried to keep my mind calm and at ease. And so for much of the time it was and so for much of the time I was relatively wise. There were many who rushed about the place; many discontent with their lot. Some of course had reason to be discontent with their lot. Some were living in poverty. Some knew not where their next mouth's food was coming from. But I was blessed by at least being and knowing my own security, security of life.

Q: It's easier said than done to be calm.

Guest Speaker: Yes, easier said than done, but you do not have to allow that train of thought to carry on you see. You need to arrest it, to stop it in its tracks, to return the mind to its centre of composure and peace. But not therein to hold it in a strangle grasp; rather to allow it to be free. But if the mind is calm so it can also be freed to express itself and its divine nature. The secret is to bring it to its still point of calm composure and then to allow it to be free; to express itself freely.

Q: Is that what you wanted to learn in that lifetime?

Guest Speaker: Yes. It is gold, veritable gold; great riches which many would not see or appreciate for they were too keen on the riches of the world, the outer riches. But I say to you I was as wealthy as any wealthy man who walked the earth with my inner riches. I did not do enough to try to pass on that wisdom to others and therein was my sin: too content within my own world having discovered my own path I failed to pass it on to show the way, the route, the path to others. This is what I should have done; this was my neglect. Therefore whatever wisdom you have, in all modesty not out of conceit or aggrandisement, I beg of you yet but to share your wisdom, your knowledge with those who accompany you upon your journey upon this earth at this time. I beg you to share what light, what little light you know, that you may give light to their path that they tread; to make their onward journey more sure of foot, more comfortable, more pleasant. This I beg of you my friends: to share your wisdom, your spiritual wisdom. Bye my friends.
