Q. I would like to know if spirits are born or if there is already a predetermined number of spirits. Do they all exist already?

M. There are some old, there are some new; mostly old. Old are those who are born as humans and have never done many things wrong, who keep coming back as humans again. New are those from the mineral kingdom, from the flower kingdom, from the animal kingdom; they've evolved and become men. Okay! These are a little bit dull in spirit, a little bit slow in reactions, or maybe even fearful. If he was from a stone, and now became a man, then he will look like a stone, cold, blank, stupid, stubborn; if he was a tree last life, then he is cooler, nicer, but also dumb, a little bit slow, low in intelligence. They need many reincarnations to learn perfection. And some are from the kingdom of heaven, not the Kingdom of God, like angels, like some of the devas, heavenly spirits. They descended on the earth to become men because they wanted to practice perfection. They wanted to look for a Master and get liberation from birth and death. They wanted to become a Master themselves. So, these are different kinds of spirits, old and new.

Q. And what is the soul?

M. Yeah! I have told you. The soul is our real Self which is now dormant. We have to awaken it, and that is called awakening or enlightening. Then you will know what the soul is. Now you only know what the body is and the brain is, and after awakening you'll know what the soul is.

Q. When does the soul enter the body? Is it before our birth or after our birth? How can it happen if we are born as a twin?

M. No, because you like to stick together, I guess, huh! You have affinity with each other, um. And you want to go out at the same time to have companion. No problem about twins, yeah. We are twins ourselves. We have both feminine and masculine aspects inside. And we, if we reunite that, we're happy, um. Forget about the physical aspect.

Q. Is there such a phenomenon as soul-mates in this world? If so, what is the spiritual significance of this for people involved?

M. Soul-mates are someone that when you meet him or her, you feel a very great attraction to each other and that you both will be able to complement each other in life and especially in spiritual process. That is what's called soul-mates. But in the world of non-duality, there's no soul, no mates. So, it's just the talk of this world. So whoever you feel that is very attractive to you and very helpful to your daily life activities as well as spiritual endeavor, then that is your soul-mate, ... while we are here, if we need a mate at all. Alright?

Q. How can a plant learn, for example, what is good and bad?

M. They learn slowly, with many thousands of years experiences, by absorbing the teaching from the energies, from the surrounding atmosphere. But their understanding and digestive system is slow. They have to be in such kind of atmosphere for many, many thousands of years until they finally awaken and know "Ah! Yes! That's it!" And then they will be given the human body. They are young souls. Just like it's easier to tell your bigger brother and sister what to do, but it's difficult to explain to a younger children, child what it is you want. It takes a long time for them to understand you. It takes a long time for them to enter college, and when they enter college, some professors must be there to teach them. Not everybody can become a graduate and go outside of the college, and nobody there to welcome the new comer, new students. Not everybody should become college teachers. But the primary school teacher is also important. No?! I talk too much. Don't you think it is enough?
