Blessings beautiful souls! This inspiring poem was written by Andrea Chinn Parillo after she received a karma chart session with Barbara Y. Martin . It is our joy to share her revelations with you.
The Journey
I have no memory of planning this journey.
I am no longer privy to its specific mission, important themes, or significant events.
But I know I was anxious for it to begin and had every confidence I would navigate it well.
And so it began. Reality faded and illusion became real.
The confidence of my soul faded from my awareness and I struggled to remember who I am and what I came here so earnestly to achieve.
At times I feel so broken like I have been shattered into a million pieces.
Each piece lost and splintered longing to be united with the whole.
I know this life is a journey to heal these aspects and integrate them into the wholeness of my being.
This takes me to places I have avoided for a very long time.
Sometimes I go bravely but mostly I am afraid.
It is easy to lose your way here, to become disoriented, to be distracted.
But you knew this when you planned your journey and so safety values were installed and signposts sprinkled along the way.
Still, there are times I’ve felt off course, like I’ve wandered off the intended path and found myself in some foreign place.
But perhaps this too is part of the journey.
The journey is not defined by a single road. Rather, it offers many detours and countless paths.
And while some paths take us further from our destination, we will never find ourselves without a path home.
Sometimes we chose the most direct route, but mostly we do not.
After countless detours, we learn to more clearly interpret the signposts.
And as our inner longing grows, we forgo many of the indirect routes and seek our destination with earnest.
We discover we’ve never been without the compass we have sought. We have only to learn to use it.
We learn we must come to stillness, we must find our inner peace.
Only here can we hear the subtle whispers of our soul.
Only in this still place can we know the wisdom which is within us.
Only then can we be free.

An excerpt from Barbara and Dimitri’s book, Karma and Reincarnation:
“Karma is a starting point, not an end point. Whatever karmic condition you find yourself in, that is the starting point to turn things around. It is the divine tuning process to bring life back into balance.
“Be careful if you find yourself saying things like, “I’m supposed to suffer like this. This is karma, and I’m suppose to go through this.” Karma doesn’t work like that. You can create karma by doing this because you are avoiding something your supposed to be doing. Karma is not an excuse to avoid dealing with life’s challenges.
“You are born to succeed. It doesn’t matter how dire your circumstances, the divine sees you as precious and essential. When you resist, struggle and strife ensue as part of the spiritual growth to bring you back into harmony. When you harmonize withe your purpose, the universe brings everything together to assist in your success. “
Here are the first 3 points to remember regarding Karma:
- Look to the lesson
- Face your karma
- You’re always given karma you can handle.
In Divine Light,
Barbara Y. Martin

The legend of Atlantis reflects one of humanity’s greatest unsolved mysteries: How did civilization get started? Science teaches civilization developed around 6,000+ years ago out of primitive humans who settled into agricultural societies. Yet, there persists a belief of a far more remote past. From the writings of Plato who spoke of a great society living on an island in the Atlantic “9,000 years before the time of Solon”, to legends in many cultures of a mighty civilization destroyed by water, to the archeological site Göbekli Tepe in Turkey dated at around 9,000 BC, it is clear that humanity still does not have the full story as to its own origins.
Metaphysics teaches that civilization is, in fact, far older than 6,000 years. A key aspect of this pre-history is Atlantis. Atlantis has stirred the imagination and so much excitement and rightfully so. Yet in understanding the mystery of Atlantis, we must do our best to take a sober, careful approach and not to let imagination get the better of us. In this article, I cannot begin to go into the breadth of what Atlantis was and evidence for its existence. I know from my own clairvoyant experiences, Atlantis was very real. What I hope to offer are answers to a few basic questions, from the metaphysical perspective, of this most extraordinary time in human history.
If Atlantis existed, why is there no conclusive archeological evidence?
The short answer is: it’s simply not time. Humanity is not ready to understand its remote past. Such a discovery would change the fabric of society in dramatic ways and humanity as whole is not quite ready to take that step. Yet according to the Higher, the evidence is unmistakably there waiting to be discovered. There have been a few finds that have pointing the way and eventually this will open the door to the greatest archeological discoveries of all time.
What was Atlantis really like?
Atlantis went through several periods from primitive beginnings to genuine sophistication spanning vast stretches of time, far greater than the entire recorded history of modern civilization. Also, Atlantis was not an isolated civilization. It was part of a world culture and there were earlier civilizations reaching back to even more remote times.
In the end, Atlantis corrupted itself creating one of humanity’s the darkest periods. As Albert Einstein said about the danger of nuclear war, “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but world War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” In a sense, this is what happened with Atlantis. Its eventual demise along with natural geological cataclysms has been a major reason knowledge of Atlantis has been reduced to legend.
Yet long before its decay, Atlantis had a golden age. Science, spirituality and society blended together in magnificent ways. Most of all, the veil between the spiritual and the material was not so great and there was a natural understanding and cooperation with the divine. Challenges and trials were still there, but without question it was a marvelous time for humanity.
What is the significance of Atlantis today?
Atlantis shares much with today’s world even though humanity is older now. The rapid development of modern society reflects an unconscious rekindled of Atlantean achievements yet expressed on a grander scale. Civilization today is far more developed overall than it has ever been. There is more spiritual light on the planet than ever before and more opportunity to grow spiritually despite today’s challenges.
History is knowledge and knowledge is power. The significance of Atlantis is its eventual resurfacing will reawaken the recognition of our own potential and collective abilities. Eventually, our society will have to come to terms with its own past so it can take its biggest leap forward into a modern golden age.
In Divine Light and Love,
Barbara Y. Martin

Taken from Barbara and Dimitri’s latest book, “Karma and Reincarnation“:
Reincarnation is the Soul’s process of evolution. On average each soul will reincarnate 800 times to forge its spiritual mettle and attain spiritual mastery. It is through the process of rebirth that we are given the opportunities to fully express our free will and work out our karma.
Karma is derived from the Sanskrit root kr, meaning “to do, to make, deed, or act”. Karma is the balancer of life – the harmonizer. It is the principle of action and its effect ~ for every action we take there is an eventual and inescapable effect to that action. “The law of Karma is designed in Love to make you a greater being and realize the great goal you have ~ union with the Divine”.
Of these 800 lifetimes the soul goes through three distinct phases. It spends approximately 200 lifetimes in the instinctual phase (physical life in all its vicissitudes-pain, pleasure, birth, death, sex – essentially survival and instinct), 500 lifetimes in its intellectual phase (the phase in which we become self-aware and awaken to accountability), and 100 lifetimes in its enlightened phase (consciously co-creation with God).
The earth is a wonderful “school house” where souls at different levels of mastery intermingle with each other and help each other along the way. It’s important to honor all levels of development as each has its place in the heart of the Beloved.
Humanity is at a crossroads. A great number of souls are getting ready to make the leap into the enlightened cycle of incarnations. Some have already made the jump. The spiritual renaissance that is blossoming is no accident. Humanity is preparing for a glorious new day in evolution where it will work in closer connection with the divine than ever before.
____________________________
Using my free will to consciously choose to think/speak/act in co-creation with the Divine is a daily practice and challenge. There are moments when I “fail” and moments when I experience the deep peace of knowing I have made a choice in alignment with my path.
Becoming aware of the daily applications of the law of cause and effect with the “little things”, and most importantly, putting that awareness into action, has proven to be very rewarding. I now fully understand that how I spend my time (energy) will generate equivalent spiritual results. I take into account where I spend my energy (buh-bye procrastination) and with whom I spend it (sorry TV, please dont call).
Where do you feel you are in your 800 lives?
Are you aware of the law of cause and effect in your daily life?
What are you thoughts about the “new day” coming?
In light,

Unto each mortal who comes to earth
A ladder is given by God at birth,
And up this ladder a soul must go
Step by step from the valley below.
Step by step to the center of space
On this ladder of Life to the starting place.
In time departed which Time endures
I shape my ladder and you shape yours.
Whatever they are, they are what we made
A ladder of Light or a ladder of shade.
A ladder of Love or a hateful thing,
A ladder of Strength or a wavering string.
A ladder of Gold or a ladder of straw,
Each is a ladder of Righteous Law.
We flung them away at the call of death,
We took them again at the next life’s breath,
For the keeper stands by the great birth gates,
As each soul passes this ladder waits.
Though mine be narrow and yours be broad,
On my ladder alone can I climb to God.
On your ladder alone can your feet ascend
for none can borrow and none can lend.
If toil and trouble and pain are found,
Twisted and corded to form each round,
If rusted iron or moldering wood
Is the fragile frame you must make good,
You must build over and fasten it strong,
Though the task be as hard as your life is long,
For up this ladder the pathway leads
To Heavenly pleasure and spirit’s needs,
And all that comes in another way,
Shall be but illusion and will not stay.
So, in useless effort then waste no time,
Rebuild your ladder and climb and climb, and climb.
~Reverend Violet Broostom
