This second issue of The TimeTraveler Tidbits discusses creativity, getting to know yourself, your goals and answers many questions you may have about karma. -Creativity - At this time we are really in a revolution against the outdated practices of the Manufacturing Age. This changeover from the Manufacturing Age to the Age of Creativity has put today's world in the throes of beginning chaos. . It must change and those who cannot adjust their thoughts and change with it are the ones who will suffer the most. - Know Yourself - As far as knowing yourself, the trees of life that most people trace as to their family origins are not that important because they deal only with the physical. If there is a case of someone being "just like their father" or "just like grandma" it is a spiritual bond formed between these two souls while still in the spirit state between lifetimes. The search for the true inner self needs started in early childhood. -Goals - As far as goals, man's destiny is what he makes of it. The choices are ever one's own. The path that each one follows must be carved and cleared as one goes, but the goal must ever be before one. One simply can't just come into incarnation and eat, sleep, marry, beget children, and die, without making some effort to figure out why they are here and what direction they need to progress in. -Karma - It is hard to determine where certain karma comes from, but if you meet someone who has a pull on your conscience for no reason you can determine in this life, it most likely is from a previous life. Feelings such as this needs to be looked into. It is your own soul who is recognizing this and needs to have the opportunity to erase this mark against your records. A crime that only injures a physical body will not remain with a person, but a crime that shocks the soul is the hardest kind to eliminate.

He also gave much help with his computer know-how. Along with music, her career has also included involvement with the arts of painting, writing, dance and theater that led to her writing two musical plays with original music. When she began composing, the music and lyrics would flow into her head in complete form. A year later she began to receive information from a spiritual source that flowed in the same way as the music. This material is the Chrysalis Teachings and is based on the Science of Music, which is the fundamental vibrational order and creative nature of the universe. The vibrations of music affecting her body since she was four years old are what allowed this opening to take place.
