NEWSLETTER #72 FROM RUTH AND
THE MASTERS OF LIGHT

SEPTEMBER, 2008

By Ruth Ryden

Dear Masters, we have had a chaotic August, weather-wise, to be sure. At this writing, (Aug. 26th), floods in
the Mid-West and the East are devastating the lives of many people, not to even mention the terrible floods in
India and other places in the world. Tornadoes have been dropping down in unusual places, and high temperatures have been a problem in many areas. Eruptions and plate movements seem to have calmed down a bit, but with small earth movements not unusual. Now, our readers want to know what to expect in the coming month of September.

MASTERS: “There is little evidence that any of this will calm down very quickly, certainly not before the
last part of September. The atmosphere is still being bombarded by high frequencies from the Sun and other
galaxies in your universe that are also in a state of transformation at this time. We will try to give some
indication of what we are seeing for the short term at least.

From the Arctic down through North America and Europe, there are still heavy particles stirring up the
atmosphere, causing moisture to accumulate and fall in large amounts at the hint of any disturbance from lower atmospheric disturbances due to the higher heat on the planet itself. You must know by now that the inner earth has been heating up and causing much of the ice melt in the glaciers in both the Arctic and Antarctic. All of these situations clash and are causing the tragic consequences of too much heat, too much water, and too many earthquakes, as the Earth tries to balance itself out. Earthquakes off the coast of North America that have just started to announce the movement of the plates in that area will continue to be felt; there is a small possibility of small tsunamis being washed up on the Northern Washington and Canadian coastlines in the next few weeks, but only counted as high surges. Rainfall will continue to be heavy and relatively unexpected in many parts of these continents, which will probably delay preparing fields for the spring and summer crops.

As the current hurricane now racing across the Atlantic towards the United States starts to impact the Gulf
states, we are seeing a lot of damage and more to come in September. The East Coast will also be impacted as more than one horrific storm will hit Florida and further up the Eastern states. What was supposed to be a very minor year for hurricanes is changing its picture now. Keep on top of the forecasts on television and radio if you live in these areas, and be very prepared. Temperatures will come down quickly as September gets into
gear, and may even go lower than normal for this time of year. Greenhouses to raise vegetables will become a
common need for those whose land is too wet to do anything else. Of course, you can expect rising prices on
fresh produce, so prepare your budgets for that. Fruit will be in low supply also, as orchards are
over-stressed from the summer’s moisture and blight. Find good canned (better – jars) of the fruit you like to
store for awhile, just in case.

Australia finds itself in a strange situation, as sea currents that dominate the weather around that continent
continue to change their temperatures and even directions of flow. Lack of moisture inland is causing ranchers
to almost fight for water, and the coastal cities will be beset with more fires before the change in these
atmospheric flows appears late in September.

The huge bleak areas of sand, stone, and mountains in the Middle East are in need of rainfall, too, as water
becomes a precious commodity. The good news is that temperatures will start to drop over these lands early in
September, and a huge change in the atmospheric flow will begin to bring moisture where there has not been any for many years. When this happens, the thinking of the Muslim people will find better outlets for their anger
and resentments against the West as they find that the dry soil beneath them is full of nutrients and ready to
farm as the moisture appears.

The monsoon seasons in America’s Southwest and in Asia are extending themselves for probably another two or three weeks, but will be winding down a little at a time. We do not see heavy downpours from this point on
causing further flooding.

It is time now to start preparing for the winter to come, and it will come in with high winds and a lot of snow
around the world in the northern hemispheres. Fuel prices for heating will unexpectedly come down to some
extent the first part of the winter, then soar. Best to put away some funds as you can now to take care of
that. This continues to be a challenging and exciting year for all of humanity and the lessons being learned
from it will continue to bring wisdom and understanding to those who are willing to follow their inner guidance
and plain common sense. You know we are always there for each one of you when you call on us for help!
Recognize all of the little (and big) miracles that happen for you every day, in every way. You do not live in
a vacuum, alone on a strange world; you are part of the universal energy and knowledge that flows through every living thing and every spiritual consciousness in that universe. Just dial in when you need some input, but
remember that the “line” must be clear and quiet!”

Question to Masters: Listening to the coverage of wars across the world, it becomes evident that religion is
tearing civilization apart! Unquestioned beliefs, ridiculous rites, and man-made rules of living set down by
clerics of every religion keep people sequestered in unrelenting cultures since birth, with their minds
completely brain-washed to resist any other way of thinking or thinking for themselves. What does all this mean to the Creator? Land, old ruins, temples and church buildings have become the focus of lives dedicated to seeing that nothing ever changes in their belief systems, regardless of the misery of women, slavery of men,
women and children, and the cruelty of religious leaders. Believers addicted to worshipping prophets or
religious leaders deemed to be God’s ”right hands” or even incarnated Gods or Angelic beings are common around
the world. How on earth can they feel this is better than touching the “Hem of God” through their own efforts
and understanding of spiritual reality? Will humankind ever break the bonds of spiritual ignorance?

MASTER'S ANSWER: “Human bondage has been, and will be, a problem for many more years, as the old cultures remain untouched by those who will eventually lead them to the reality of freedom of humankind to all people. Bondage by educated people who force people into slavery for money and power are treading on dangerous ground, for they are ignoring the universal Law of Free Will. Today’s religions have been set into place by those who were mostly trying to set up a system of worship so that all could join together as one voice and spirit. Unfortunately, the need for power and control edged its way in to set up systems that closed the eyes of their believers to the spiritual being within and the comfort and love that connects all beings to the Creator of All.

Yes, the conflicting religions of today are causing a breakdown and systematic failure of many cultures,
governments and countries, as war rages on in an unprincipled effort to dominate “the world”! When will it
stop? Not in your lifetime, dear Ruth, but soon into the years after 2012, which is a turning point in the
makeup of your planet and in the frequencies that permeate the minds of human beings. Even now, however, human intelligence is being to soar as the many new children being born have this new frequency within and are anxious, and sometimes over-anxious unfortunately, to turn things around to the way they see them. At this time, all religions will be questioned more thoroughly as clear thinking breaks through the heavy mists of
tradition and cultural religions. Yes, this will mean that the many so-called reasons for war against each
other’s beliefs will finally come to an end, not all at once of course, but the growth of clear thinking will
take hold faster and faster as time goes on. . Hold fast to your wisdom and knowledge of the spiritual
kingdom, for you who read these words, for the most part, are those who are setting down the new paths to
understanding and a new way of life for yourselves and your children.”

Question to the Masters: (August 30th) Our country is in the midst of a political hailstorm, as the two
parties have chosen their candidates and will be swinging hard at each other for the next two months. Here are
a few questions that are coming up: 1. Will McCain’s health hold up for the duration of the campaign? - If
not, will the lady Governor be the official candidate for the Presidency? 2. Do you actually see Americans
finally putting aside the matter of race and listening to what each Candidate is going to try to accomplish, or
stubbornly keeping their heads in their own long-held party connections, no matter what? 3. Looking ahead to
that first term, will there be some increase in our health care system so that every citizen can afford medical
care - how soon will the system really tune in to the thousands of soldiers injured in this stupid war and take
proper care of them, putting the GI Bill back into place to provide training for their lives after the Army?
4. There is a lot on the internet about very positive changes coming into place almost immediately – do you see this, and what are they and how will they come about? That ought to do it! For now, at least.

MASTERS’ ANSWER: “Senator McCain is doing well for his age but will be hard pressed to be able to keep up
the very busy schedule of campaigning. He does have some physical problems that will be more apparent because of the stress, but at this time do not see him not being able to make it to November. His own determination will decide if he can actually be the President if elected. This is still in the hands of the people. We see that, at this point, not very probable. The Lady Governor will some day be a very important person on the political scene; she is very special.

“Jesus as the Christed prophet saw humanity very clearly and called them “sheep”! Even though the human
race has come a long way since then, the inner need to follow something or someone is still very strong. What
is taught from the cradle sticks pretty hard for most of you, and the struggle to see things more realistically
as you become adults is a real challenge. The many cultures on Planet Earth have many ways of looking at race and religious beliefs; the higher frequencies are starting to nudge humanity to better realizations of the
actual reality of a world coming together with all of this electronic communication and traveling. Much has
already been accomplished and seeing those of other races and cultures around you much more of the time now is making a big difference in how you think and react to the difference in looks and language. This has a lot to do with the difficulty voters are having to choose the right candidate for this position; there is so much the
same in many of their positions and the importance of seeing each of them clearly keeps Americans glued to their TV sets. Yes, many will still adhere to their life-long dependence upon the family “party”, but many more are looking outside of the party platitudes to find their own very important decision by listening and watching very carefully..

“Health care in the coming years, regardless of who is elected, is going to become a major issue because of
the greed in drug companies making people more dependent upon advertised drugs and doctors who go along with the trend. On the up side is the world-wide knowledge of using natural elements for healing and the spreading of knowledge to the younger population of how to better take care of themselves through diet an exercise. You will be seeing different trends regarding healing methods. Yes, there will be new legislation regarding health insurance that will benefit those who need it most, but it will take at least two years to come into use. The outcry about the medical care for the injured soldiers and the needs of their families, and the need to educate veterans for employment, will force the government to make radical changes very soon. This will be done immediately after the elections.

“Changes” has been the selling word for the political campaigns in both parties. It is self-evident that
every newly elected President is going to put his or her stamp on the new administration, in one way or another. Promises are easy to make, difficult to put into practice when there are hundreds of other legislators in Washington who have to lay them out, discuss them, fight over them, and vote on them, to bring them into
actuality. Changes occurring in the consciousness of humankind will be a big factor into bringing sanity and
peace again to the world. Yes, of course human beings are changing, due to many factors. Among them are the increasing frequencies that are inherent in the new children being born in the last decade and today. Look at the young people who are working all over the globe today to make things better for their families and
communities. All you see on TV are the shallow sex pots and sex ads, with only the most beautiful faces and
bodies. That is not what this new era is all about! Look around and see what these wonderful new human beings are doing today and how they view the essential morals and kindness that surround Love, in all its meanings. You know, from our teachings, that nothing is going to happen with the speed of light! (That’s for the
fictional heroes) The patterns for Love and Peace have always been with you, in your very inner beings and
consciousness; it is up to humanity to wash away the greed for the most expensive of everything and the need for power and control over each other. Many spiritual organizations are zooming in on this, and that is good.
Still, it is the individual soul being that is you, and you alone, that will contribute to the changing world
and make it a place to live, work, and love, in peace and gainful and happy employment for yourself and others.
Work with others, but listen to your own guidance when it comes to taking actions that may seem a little far
out. The spiritual beings that surround every one of you and your planet are striving all the time to advise,
protect, and guide you to follow the purpose and paths you have taken on for your soul education. That is why
you are always heard, always heeded and response made for your own good purpose. When this is fully
understood, life is much easier and a real adventure. Go for it!”

***********************************

RELATIONSHIPS (Continued from August Issue)

“The seeking and finding of the spiritual being that is you is not only for finding a mate or companion, but is
essential in order to live a lifetime of contentment and creativity and to enable you to accomplish the goal
that you came into this life to attain. Wandering around in confusion results in depression, guilt and feelings
of unworthiness. No soul entity is unworthy of being, or it would not have arrived in matter! Work to shed
those faulty layers of false feelings; listen to the guidance from within instead of commercial lies being fed
to you constantly. Learn to discern the foolish repetitions trying to entrap you into believing you must have
this or that, or look this way or that, or think what they want you to think. Think for yourselves; see for
yourselves; recognize the underlying greed behind the mind-bending going on in the TV screens. Find for
yourselves what you really need or want; it is specific only for you. How you look should be as you see
yourselves, not as you think others want you to look. Inventory all of the “things” you own. Do they really
please you – do you really need or use them? Or did you buy them because it was the “thing” to do – the current fad you must have? Life is too precious to spend it wastefully in the senseless seeking after “things” or the pleasures or “highs” that leave you empty inside, especially when these things are not really pleasing to you. Look within to see what really does please you. Perhaps a beautiful picture or design makes you feel good when you look at it; that would be a good thing to acquire. Would you really enjoy taking a walk in a forest instead of going to a crowded and smoky bar? With a little effort, that can be accomplished. Don’t be coerced into doing things the real you do not enjoy doing. Be what you truly are. Do you think everyone will make fun of you? If they do, they are being false to themselves. Far more of your contemporaries will respect you for being true to yourselves and envy you for being able to do so.

Now, before you take steps that will create an unwanted or unloved child, think back to your own childhood. If
you were raised in a loving and secure atmosphere, think how it would have been if you had not had that loving
family. If you grew up in conditions of hate, loneliness or desertion, do you want that for your children? For
a man and a woman, creating a new human being is a tremendous responsibility, one that will follow the parent
all his/her life. If that responsibility is shrugged off and the child is deprived of its needs by that parent
or parents, the resulting karma will follow that parent until he or she has to go through the same agony in a
future lifetime. This is universal law, not to be disregarded. If a child is created from a rape situation,
the rapist has put upon himself a heavy load which will increase until he pays the price for it. Civil law may
extract its penalty, but spiritual law is even harsher. Beware. The child created from a rape comes into the
lifetime with the knowledge that it will not have a loving family and must strive very hard to make it a
worthwhile lifetime. This will be perhaps the soul of one who created a child in the past in that manner.
It cannot be expected that all marriages will be a perfect union of spirit and matter. Very many there are who,
without knowing these things I have just mentioned, instinctively know that the right person has appeared, and
their union is a happy, lifelong waltz through life. Those who are trying very hard to find the right partner
sometimes mistakenly think they have found the love of their life, stay together for perhaps a long time, but
then when they become more aware of their inner being find that the relationship has become unbalanced; the
other person has become a stranger, and the union breaks apart. That is not entirely a bad thing, because then
each of the partners can be free to search for one who will be part of a blending that can be a perfect mixture
for all time.

During any relationship, remember that you are a full one-half of that blending; but, because you are fully a
spiritual being, your effort must be 100%; your love must be given 100%; your understanding of the other must be 100%. Anything held back from your loved one will be felt strongly and resented. When you give yourself to
your loved one in a fully committed relationship, nothing must be withheld. “Becoming One” means just that. It
is a blending, an understanding, a total giving. Anything less than that is a forgery. No one can give their
all and exist closely with another who gives only a small percentage of themselves. If the opening to another
cannot be done, leave quietly and find the one to whom you can give this gift. If an unhappy marriage exists, do not think you can fool the child or children into thinking everything is all right. Children are most sensitive to emotions and the deception is really more hurtful to them than being told the truth. If a separation must be made, please make the truth very clear to the children that you and your partner are unhappy together and must live apart; that the children did nothing to force the issue and were not a reason for the separation. Give them all of your love and make arrangements for them to live with the person who can care for them the best, but being sure they know the other parent loves them very much and will be with them as much as possible – mean that, and do it! The children of broken marriages are becoming a separate group in your society and at least have each other to go to for understanding and compassion.

I hope to give encouragement in this lesson, although it sounds rather “down” in content. This is because we
have great sadness for the broken homes and hearts that abound in the world. So many changes have come into being now that it is not surprising that so much confusion exists. Higher frequencies enfolding the Earth now are putting inner pressures on all of you and not making things easier.. It is a hard time which will eventually bring the world to the end of wars, strife and confusion.. Please make prayer a part of your lives; be aware of the inner guidance that is being sent stronger each day; know that there are spiritual friends who are trying to help you in every way we can – just call on us! When you do become aware of your inner being, this time can be the most thrilling and enriching lifetime that any soul entity has ever had – the possibilities are
unlimited!

It all starts within, where the real you and the Christ Spirit resides.. That is a union above all others that
will make your lifetime in matter a heaven on Earth indeed, when that relationship in understood.
God Bless you All!”

Dear Readers, this has been a stressful month for our family, as we know it has been for many others.
We almost lost our son to pneumonia, and he is staying with us for a time working on his tractor and other
equipment to ready for sale, as he won’t be able to do the heavy construction work anymore. A life-changing
event in one’s life is hard to deal with, and it takes a lot of courage to rise above the resentment and
depression that so often accompanies such changes. Many relationships that are pulling apart at this time are
in the same predicament and to find oneself adrift without income or someone to depend upon, is most difficult.
Facing the realities of the situation is the first step, then finding solutions, perhaps a little at a time,
will bring relief and a new way of looking at things. Using what governmental or community help that is
available makes sense, and there are many people who make their living helping those in difficult circumstances. Take one thing at a time and one day at a time.

Many thanks to those of you who have helped us by sending donations – they have been a great help. I am
accepting requests for personal spiritual readings. If you are interested, e-mail me a request for information
for the reading.

I have had to replace my 20-year-old printer, which needed to be laid to rest. If any of you can spare a
few dollars to heal the financial wound, it would be much appreciated.
We, our family, Ruth and Jim, Kathy and Jim, Pet dogs Lady (very old now), Buddy (also pretty old), and
youngster Luci,all wish you the very best for this coming month. One day at a time.

Love and Blessings,
