Each soul chooses how fast it wishes to progress. Between incarnations and in the dream state at night, one receives teachings. When the soul returns to earth, to time-space awareness, it brings back knowledge and training and works to put it into practical application while in the body. While on the other side, each being designs a plan for growth before an incarnation, what it hopes to achieve in that lifetime and what karma it wishes to work out. The soul is free once it incarnates to go ahead with the plan or change its mind. Your teachers, of course, will be there with you encouraging you to get on with the program. But you are free to do whatever you want to do with an incarnation.

Karma refers to the law of cause and effect which governs one’s experiences over collective lifetimes and within the individual lifetime. Karma means that as you sow, you reap. We control our thoughts by our words, thoughts and actions. 

To effectively work with dreams we must recognize that we control our own destiny through our thoughts, words and deeds. We have to relinquish our martyr and victim mind sets and accept responsibility for what is going on in our lives. Then we will benefit from dreams as a tremendous teaching source.

Betty would say, “Before we are born we devise our own plan before birth. We have teachers both in and out of the body to nudge us to follow our plan.” She also said, “It is the principle of individual responsibility which underlies all the teachings coming from my channel.”

Many religious philosophies and belief systems try to make the search for truth difficult. But the truth is simple and always has been. Every answer you ever need to know on any subject lies deep within yourself! The key is to be still, go within, and bring forth the answers. Bring forth the curative energy yourself; heal your own physical, mental and spiritual being. Once that is done, then bring that curative energy to the world.
