"The New Dimension is Peaceful, and all work here just as they do on Earth. It’s a place where Learning, Knowledge and Wisdom are essential to that work. It is not Corrupt like the Earth Plane, and there they are free from all of the Corruption that Exists on Earth today. We created this New Dimension for Growing and Learning, as we did Earth. Minds here are advanced, as the Knowledge that was acquired on Earth is now attuned to the Minds of New Dimension Souls. It is a Slow Process for all Souls’ Minds to Learn and absorb Knowledge and Wisdom. LOVE is the answer for all kinds of Souls to advance in the Universe. Through LOVE, Knowledge and Wisdom are well earned. The Earth Plane has gotten off track, forgetting or ignoring this most Important key to Progress. We all here in the Universe is working so hard with Earth Souls to remind them that their purpose on Earth is to advance. First, they must LOVE themselves if they are going to LOVE all of those around them, if they are going to LOVE Other Souls, if they are going to help less fortunate Souls with LOVE and Kindness. All of this is part of Earth Lessons they must learn. Once this is understood, we will attain Peace of Soul and Mind. The Peace that Exists in the Universe is Calmness and it’s like no calmness ever experienced on the Earth Plane. By Learning to be patient with one another, you are giving LOVE, and when you give LOVE to others, you grow and Progress. The Angels on the Second Plane use this Fourth Plane energy to take care of Earth’s Water, Soil and Plant Life, because without this Energy nothing would grow on the Earth Plane. Nothing could exist, and therefore the Earth could not exist, without this energy and the work of the Angels. GOD has Created All of the Earth, and placed each and every Soul there; it seems that Earth today has forgotten this. We mean to bring this to the attention of All Souls so that many Changes will occur on Earth. The Younger Generation will be Very Spiritual, and Open their Earth Minds to Our Ways and needs making Earth a nicer place to Exist on than it is today. Earth will receive Many Warnings denoting what it must do to Change and to create more LOVE between Earth Souls. The Choice is yours while you remain on Earth. Time and the future mean nothing to us. We have no time. We look only at your accounting of Lessons Learned or not Learned, the Progress you are making or not making, and the direction you are going, right or wrong. It does not matter how long it takes to Learn Lessons, if that is many lifetimes or thousands of years; all that counts is Progress of the Soul, and all Souls will Progress, in time. Souls’ Progress is all that counts in the Universe."
