    A Poem of Love and Caring from The World of Spirit

    Foreword

    In May of 1989, Tamara Overlee began a venture of having a book written through her by her friends and loved ones in spirit.

    Before the book would come through Tamara’s hand, she needed to be developed in order to contact and work with her friends in the spirit world. She was told to ask a question about life every day for one year, a commitment she wholeheartedly honored, and the answer would be given to her through her writings. During this time, Tamara became aware of her spirit family, consisting of doctors, philosophers, teachers, and healers, who have offered their contributions toward the devotion of this book. In each chapter, they will show and design a positive outline for the life that you wish to fulfill.

    The knowledge within these writings can change the course of your beliefs, dogmas, and self-allowance of false visions or illusions that may take you from your own reality. Study and examine the values that are expressed with a common-sense approach to life. Keep an open mind and think deeply about the wisdom, for the importance of truly accepting the equality among all souls can surely exist if so desired. Use your free will and make your choice as to how you intend to grow on the path of righteousness. Look beyond judgment and opinion that leave no room to embrace the necessary changes, which are so desperately needed for the steady progression of love, truth, and honesty. Allow this book to become your best friend as you determine the aspects that are favorable to your well-being.

    The dear heavenly Father and the ones in spirit who surround you, who love and watch over you—God bless you, for you are the dearest of hearts.

    Preface

    The words of the ethereal world within the heightened levels of wisdom must be brought forth in order for all mankind to understand the truth of life. It is essential for the earth plane to understand the eternalness of the soul, the spirit within each individual, so that love, the total completeness of the essence of the soul, will be known throughout your world.

    Mankind must understand, once again, how to embrace peace everlasting through the pureness of the soul within honesty, which is the most divine facet of this three-dimensional world. Tranquility and exalted peace unlike this world has yet to experience can be a venue for the earth plane to become a university of wisdom, as it has been written of the God force of life in the true scriptures.

    The words in this book are only of truth, and they have been written to bring about the awareness of this physical life in order to prepare for the passing to the true world. We beseech you to welcome the newness and the freshness of our thought. Those of this spirit family, from the ethereal level of infinite wisdom, are prepared to make all the energy changes needed in order to secure the continuation of schooling upon your earth plane. Turbulent and corrupt thought patterns must cease to exist. So few understand this growing dilemma, and the numbers must increase for the sanctity of all mankind.

    Open your eyes and look at your world as one that must be healed. Be completely open-minded within reality while letting go of any confused thoughts that grant ego and false visions in order to exist within illusion. If only the simplicity of thought could be embellished (to gather the enhancement of wisdom), and the confusion could be relinquished, great changes for the betterment of all mankind would take place. It is now time for these changes upon your world, as there is no physical time to waste.

    This book will teach what the harmony of the mind and soul truly means and will give the reasons for the importance of the unity between the two. Remember that each soul will determine the way in which the favorable aspects of life will give inspiration, because every precious soul is special of equality and uniqueness. All are created of love, truth, honesty, and morals of goodness of the God within. All souls will live out the life of their destiny through choice and free will. All will be tested with challenges and obstacles to overcome.

    To learn to live in a peaceful realm will be the foreground for all to begin, as total peace is the ultimate goal in the physical existence. Life is everlasting, and each soul will continue to grow and learn throughout all time, for in reality, time is the eternalness of the soul. The love which surrounds the soul must be one of givingness that is practiced and repeated each day. The intuition must be listened to for the continuing guidance so that all desires are fulfilled. For the remainder of your years upon this plane, learn the virtues of life, and aspire to love, truth, and honesty, for this is the truth of life.

    We in the world of spirit are like you—souls of God, all of equality. Our only difference is that we do not live in limitation, as your world is of the material, and ours is of the spiritual. Your soul lies within a physical body, and ours is of the ethereal or spirit body. You will be given this knowledge for your complete awareness and understanding. Do not allow confusion to set in, for these writings are of a simplistic nature for all to understand. The time for giving comfort to your soul is at the present, as there are many who are misguided in their beliefs. We are not telling you what to believe or how you must live. We are here to help and give guidance. The way you wish to live and the way you wish to believe is of your choice and free will. To truly have peace upon your world, all souls need to be aware of the truth of life. There are many who aspire to the truth, although if all were aware, your world would lie within a realm of peace and happiness.

    Cherish and embrace these writings, for they are given with love and honesty. There are many souls in all dispositions of life that are a part of this family in the ethereal world who have given their wisdom. Their thoughts have been placed into these writings for your awareness. Forever abide to plant your awareness as a seed that will begin to take hold, grow, and blossom.

    Welcome all challenges and conquests of life with great appreciation. Value them only as positive elements that gratify continuous growth to the soul. Remember that you are here to learn about your beautiful soul as you develop your character through the virtues of morality. What a blessed experience! What happiness to look forward to each day!

    Within this realm of truth, we in spirit would like to complete our words by saying:

    May God bless you, and may God give you the wisdom of life so that all souls will unite one day as one. The love that surrounds our souls, we give to you. Cherish the love that surrounds your soul, and give to all others. Embrace this knowledge of life, and live within this realm of truth, for one joyous day all souls will dwell in everlasting peace and happiness.

    Introduction

    The most beautiful feeling in life that all souls desire is to develop total peace. This peaceful feeling is what we in spirit will term being in the moment—to embrace the true rapture of an unconditional heart. To come from the heart means to be without judgment, prejudice, analytical thinking, or preconceived ideas about the way life should be, regardless of any situation. When one is truly open, all ideas will be welcomed, for within this realm, one will realize the importance of the growth level to the soul. Wisdom can be achieved as ignorance of life falters.

    Think about the ones you personally know who live life with an open heart. Think of the comfort and peace that emanates from this type of character. Think of how good you feel by just being in their presence. What joy it is to be with those who are truly open and understanding!

    Ask yourself: Do I act upon an unconditional level in my life, or do I place conditions upon mankind and everyday situations? Do I care what words I project to others? Is the rhythm of my verbiage smooth and clear without hesitation as I express my complete honesty? Yes, my dear friend, these are questions to ask of yourself.

    All souls know when they are not being honest in the way they express their feelings. Why does fear dominate one’s conscious state of reality in knowing how to be honest? We will ask: Why does this realm exist? Why are there so few people, considering the great numbers upon your earth, who live in complete honesty? Why are so many excuses made for not being totally honest?

    If you drop a fork on the floor and ignore it, this is a fragment of dishonesty, for you know how to be responsible for your actions; however, many times one does not follow the responsible attitude toward life. There is no such thing as a white lie, for a lie is a lie, regardless of the circumstance behind it. Lies are not determined by their size nor are they justified for any other reason. It is so easy to speak the truth. Indeed, this is the way to relinquish the ego and attitudes of the knowit-all, as well as the continuation of convoluted, deliberate confusion that plagues your precious earth.

    If all individuals could give their truth with openness and welcome others’ feelings, then reasoning of thought would take place, and greater wisdom with deeper awareness of life would be achieved. Listening would develop, sincere listening, that hears beyond the surface of the words. Each of you could make the decision to break old patterns and habits, to break judgmental ideas and strong, argumentative opinions that leave no room for the welcoming of newness and change.

    We implore your world to become honest, to allow the foundation of honesty to be steadfast, never to falter. Look into your heart and ask yourself how honestly you truly have lived. Refrain from making excuses for dishonesty, as there is no valid reason to be a part of this realm. One will only be a part of this hindrance through personal choice, for life is what one chooses it to be. Arrive at the choice that will build your character, that will give you peace with an abundance of self-worth. When self-worth is understood, one will give full expression to the integrity that lies within. One will feel the worthiness and deep connection to all life (the conscious reality of the one) by understanding the equality of all humankind.

    The soul is created of purity, and all are equal within the God force of life, the energy of life. The only difference among all souls is their awareness. Wisdom and simplicity can be rendered with awareness, and love will show the unconditional aspect of life, for love is the greatest thing in the world for all to achieve. Allow the love within to emanate to others. If someone is unkind to you, turn the situation around and show that you can be unconditional.

    For instance, you may meet someone who may be unkind to you. This does not mean for you to fall into the same state of mind. Be in knowing that you can change the situation by rising above, by applying your kindness—yes, by being unconditional. Your kindness may change a person’s entire day. Instead of a moment of uneasiness, an unkind soul may value your verbiage and arrive at a change of attitude. In addition, a domino effect of kindness can be created that will touch everyone involved throughout the day.

    The way in which one responds to you is also by choice; therefore, do not allow yourself to be influenced by the insecure attitude of anyone. Simply relate your honesty with a caring attitude. If unkind words are given right back to you, God bless this soul and move on, for you cannot impose your will upon another. Imposing will is a form of control, and to take control of another will not get one anywhere upon the spiritual path of being unconditional. This realm or way of life is not a part of what we in spirit term Constitutional Reality, the five elements of life: love, truth, honesty, humility, and gratitude. These elements are scriptures of ancient times that were written in the ethereal world so the simplicity of life could be lived with an unconditional approach.

    The five elements were derived from nature. Look at nature: it is unconditional for all to view and feel the peace it renders. There are no expectations required from anyone, and there are no conditions placed upon anyone. The honesty is open with nothing to hide—no insecurities, no false faces—for there is no fear of ridicule. The truth is as you see it, truth in just being satisfied to be a part of the creation of life. The love is unconditional and absolute with no harm rendered whatsoever. Gratitude lies strong within the beauty of simplicity. Humility is unequivocal (not making demands upon anyone) while standing tall and strong for the gratitude of experiencing this physical life.

    Nature lives in simplicity, in the moment, being as one in equality with all. The only physical condition is weather, which nature fully accepts as simply being a part of this physical life. There is no remorse for any outcome of any situation, for the possible return to the ethereal world is understood and accepted without question.

    Again, keep in mind and reflect upon the truth: Awareness is the key to wisdom, and simplicity is the key to complete inner peace. All are created of equality, and all are gifted with individual creativity; however, all souls are on a different level of awareness or rate of growth within the spiritual development of their character.

    Think of the way the world would change if everyone expressed honesty with an attitude of openness and understanding. Think of relating the truth while relinquishing fears for the outcome. How would love feel, unconditional and absolute, to be given and received with the knowing of the equality among all? Think about gratitude. What if all souls could be grateful for the many gifts bestowed upon them? Humility would be realized through the strength of character, through one’s conviction to life. Personal self-worth would not be diminished by making grandiose statements that only give a false sense of security. The words value, respect, honor, and cherish would be at the foreground of thought. Think of all the changes, my dear friend. Think of the way the world would change for the peace and betterment of all mankind.

    Again, we in spirit will say: Within the five elements, there would be no room for judgment, criticism, prejudice, argumentative set viewpoints, arrogance, self-righteousness, and the complete know-it-all. Yes, my friend, there would be no room. Then we will ask: Why is it that this realm, this way of life, is not lived throughout your society, throughout your world?

    Clearly, the reason for this disposition is because of choice, for all souls have been granted the gift of choice and free will; therefore, if the choices were to change to open thought, welcoming all aspects of life unconditionally, then changes would begin to develop. This realm of living is not a dream or an illusion, for this realm of living is reality. It is the truth for which the five elements stand within their stature and grace.

    Where there is a will, there is a way.

    When I make the choice to act upon my honesty, when I follow my true, heartfelt desires.

    All I put out into the world comes back into my own.

    When I make the choice to act upon my own personal goodness, when I realize that every action I carry out or every word I express will come back tenfold.

    Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

    When I make the choice to react and treat another the way I would appreciate being treated, when I understand the value and respect within myself so that I may give the same consideration to another.

    It is not what rung of the ladder you sit upon that is important. It is the way or how you achieve your seat that is truly of importance.

    When I make the choice to achieve my seat with the morality of my soul, when I express my honesty with my sincerest, heartfelt truth and unconditional love, when I relinquish all excuses for not being the truth of my personage that is created in equality.

    Actions speak louder than words.

    When I make the choice to act upon my words with sincerity, genuine truth, when I say what I mean and mean what I say, when I follow through with a caring demeanor that presents a responsible attitude toward the feelings of others.

    My dear friend, can you see how your choices can make a difference? Can you feel how this change of openness will render great strides for the peace of your world? Do you realize that there is no physical time to waste? Do you desire to see the well-being of all mankind? Do you care about all souls, all facets of life, on an unconditional level?

    Keep in mind that if one soul is left out of any thought of life, to be singled out, rendering no acceptance for equality, then this idea or thought is not a truth. Truth will be attuned to its highest level of merit when all are treated justly and fairly with pure respect and honor.

    It is understandable that there are many souls who dwell in confusion and inflict harm toward others. This particular individual gains pleasure by taking control of another and, as a result, maintains a false sense of confidence. In reality, when one gives harm to another, which soul hinders spiritual growth? Which soul lies in confusion? Take heed, there are reasons for the repercussions, which may not render justice or fairness, that are given to those of confusion. In this case, help must be administered with a caring attitude, for this soul is also created of purity. Since all are equal, how could anyone be left out?

    Remember: An eye for an eye means all that you put forth comes back tenfold. If you are loving and open, this energy of life will be rendered unto you, maybe not at that moment, although it will surely come. Likewise, if you are closed-minded with strong, judgmental opinions, this realm will be rendered unto you also through your own choice and free will.

    Wisdom is in front of all humankind if only the senses are open to receive the enduring information. Allow this to be, my friend, for what joy and peace will be bestowed upon you because of your unconditional approach to life! Speak from your feelings, the internal splendor of your soul. Be as one to all life; feel the equality; feel the connection to everything. Get out of your head, your analytical thought, your assumptions, your pondering, for if you do not find a conclusion to your dilemma, you will continue to live among the realm of dishonesty. Share the most important gift of all, your cherished soul, which is to be accepted with the adoration of all humankind.

    Remember and place within your heart:

    Love is life that oversees the virtues of all souls as being equal.

    To understand the equality among all will render glorious triumph to the greatest gift of all, the peace of your world. Laughter and joy will blossom as a constant growth of goodwill to be declared throughout your precious lands. God will mean the good of humankind, and the good of humankind will be of pure love that is given unconditionally.

    God bless each of you on your destined path, and may the great learning process rise to the splendor of heightened wisdom. Allow the freedom of life, the expression of self, to be cherished. Honor your responsible choices as you use your free will. Give your truth and honesty surrounded with the greatest gift of all—the love within your most precious soul and the eternal goodness from the purity of your heart.
