I received this question in a comment on the post “The Other Side” and I wanted Yeoshua to respond. Here is the original comment with the response below:
COMMENT: After reading this post (“The Other Side”), I had another question come to me. What is there to say about Aliens and then that brought about another question as in what the Buddhists believe. It seems from what I gather, they don’t really believe or support a deity of any sort. Not that I am a traditional Christian, far from it… but I do find the idea that there is an entry point… a single thing that started this all to make sense to me. As with nature there is a seed that starts. So I see this being a seed that started to grow and from there we have the universe and galaxies.. and as this post would say different places to learn from one of them being earth. So this would make sense in terms of the alien question, as there are different realms we can learn in. But is there a starting point… is there a universal goddess like being, thing, essence that all stems from? When Buddha didn’t answer about god… what did that mean? I have so many questions about the starting point and then the point of it all, but this one is fairly curious to me.
"There is one universal energy."
YEOSHUA: This is an excellent line of questioning. I appreciate the opportunity to answer such a great inquiry. The main thing to remember is that we are all one. There is one universal energy or force or God or whatever you wish to call it from which we all emerged. We are all a part of it. Even what you call aliens are a part of this one energy. We are all in this universe together. It is not enough to just say that we are all one on Earth. We are all one in this galaxy and in this universe. The enormity of our oneness is impossible for the human mind to appreciate fully. We may visit other worlds in other parts of this galaxy or in other galaxies or in other parts of the universe to experience other lessons, the most correct word I can use. It does not entirely fit the concept I am trying to convey but it works in this instance.
You, me, and everyone you see is an alien. This word, alien, has been used to invoke fear. It has not always been so. Native Americans used the word “ancestors” and this is a truer definition. We have all come from “aliens” or visitors from planets far away. There is nothing to fear in aliens because they are us. We are just in different forms of physical bodies according to our environment. This universe is much bigger than human brains can accommodate and this is OK up to a point. When humans begin to judge those from other places in the universe and fill themselves with fear, then it can produce problems. But these problems are just a part of the evolutionary process of the human. Humans need to realize they are a part of something bigger than themselves. Out of that evolutionary process comes humility, compassion, and cooperation and this is necessary. Challenges come to help us rise above and become more than we were the day before. Look positively upon them. They will help you be more than you ever thought possible.
Buddha--living in the flow of the universal energy.
Buddha was a great teacher and still is. He lives on still teaching and learning himself. He would agree about there being one spirit instilled in all living things and throughout the universe. The name you use is unimportant. Buddha lived his life in harmony with this spirit and found the bounties of living inside of it. Life flows and breathes when you are immersed in spirit with every breath. You become a walking meditation and an outpouring of peace, love, and contentment. The more every human can do this, the faster we all will continue on our evolutionary journey. This is the point. We all wish to return to the one—to source. This is where bliss lives. We are all on our own individual paths to get there but we must also help each other along and many times our paths intersect to help us on our way. It is all working out just as it should. I hope this answers some of your questions. Godspeed on your journey. Namaste.

I would like to know more about the other side. What’s it like over there? Are there different levels to it? What do spirits do? Do you, Yeoshua, and Mary Magdalene exist in a different part from my grandpa, for example? Can you tell us more about this place on our All Hallow’s Eve (Halloween)? Thank you.
All Hallow's Eve
YEOSHUA: What a great question for today, Melinda. How perfect. The other side is a place for all souls to enter when they are done living in the physical form but are waiting what is next for them. They may consult the reincarnation board as some of you have called it and see what they would like to work on learning and progress with next time. Many wait for their loved ones to cross over and are there to greet them. Pets are there with you if you want them to be. It is much like having whatever you like but there is no physicality to it. You may ride skateboards or surf or pat your dog on his belly. These are all easily accomplished over here.
But you may find you spend a lot of time in reflection over your past life and how it relates to the lives before that one. You are integrating all you’ve learned and seeing where you want to take your soul next. You may choose Earth again or you may choose another place somewhere else in the galaxy. You may visit physical people back on Earth and send them your love. If someone on Earth asks you to be there with them, you are notified and can be there in an instant. There is no problem with this. So, please ask your loved ones to be with you and they will be.
You ask if Mary and I are in a different level. Hmmmm. This is difficult to answer because your brain wants to add physicality to something that is not physical. It will make sense when you get here some day. Let’s see if I can explain it like this. There are different floors as if in a high-rise building. You may go between the levels but your sense of comfort may be different on different floors. Your grandpa chooses to be on a different floor than me. It has nothing to do with me personally; he is just interested in pursuing other things than I am. Does this make sense? It is busier on my floor as I heed millions of calls a day to communicate with people on earth. Your grandpa is pursuing his own interests and how he wants to move forward as well as looking out for his physical family still on Earth. Yes, he looks in on you but mostly your mom. He looks after her. He also looks in on your cousins and their children. He is enjoying watching them grow up. These are his activities. They are very different than mine. Are you starting to get a clearer picture?
The other side...
Eventually, at some point, your Grandpa may decide to return to Earth to continue his studies. That is what we call them. Time moves differently here. It’s like time does not exist here. The concept of time is a creation of your physical world. But at some point in your timeline, he will reappear in a new body and begin a new life of exploration and challenges that he has designated for this lifetime.
These challenges will be different than the last time he incarnated. He may choose to return with some of the same people as they enjoy being a soul group. This often happens. Your soul group will choose varying roles to play with each other to springboard each other on a path to greater understanding. They work together and may recruit new spirits to join them. It is a beautiful and harmonious blending of skills and knowledge that creates a soul group’s return to Earth. There are many factors to consider and the reincarnation board helps figure all this out and then guides the process once it’s underway. It is a most magical process. And it’s great fun too. We enjoy watching how lives unfold on Earth. It can be our entertainment up here sometimes. I’m laughing. It’s a true joy to witness the moments of greater understanding for one of our children on Earth. We ring bells when this happens. It’s a sign of great victory and success up here.
Well, I hope that provides some insight into the world of the other side. I have chosen words and examples that will help you understand it using your current brain and capacities. Know that it is bigger and more wondrous than you can even imagine. Enjoy your holiday and namasté.

You want to know what the Occupy Wall Street movement means and where it is going? Yes, let me address this.
What does it mean?
YEOSHUA: This movement is one of many that are here and are still to come as we move towards our greater transition. You can feel how things are changing and shifting. The world of people is moving. Rather the people of the world are changing and shifting to match the energies of our world which are also shifting and changing. The earth is going through her own transition and we are along for the ride. The earth changes have a profound effect on the inhabitants of this earth. To think differently would be naïve. We are striving to be more in line with her–Mother Earth. We are striving to match her integrity. Those of us who can feel her know this. She has moved towards balance and we are taken along with her as we strive for balance in our own lives, in our finances, in our compassion for others, in our economy, in our education, in our politics, in our worldviews and in our religious practices. We are all striving for balance. This effort causes things to move and to shift and this is good. It means that instead of being stuck in our awkward state of imbalance, we are moving towards equilibrium. This is good. It is all good.
Mother Earth--moving into balance...
There will be more protests to come as people, regular people, want and in fact, crave this balance to be restored. They will work hard to make this happen in every area of their lives. People who have never demonstrated before will come out to demonstrate now. It suddenly becomes very important that they do so. The balance becomes an ever-increasing need for people to fulfill in whatever area of life they are most concerned with. There will be a need to return to honesty and integrity as a part of this balance. People want to return to trust. People want to return to compassion for their fellow beings. People are turning away from greed and insincerity and lies. The time for those has past. That is very last century. We are into another whole era or time period where those old ideals will no longer get you ahead. They will cause you to fail. Drop the old tenets of greed and lies and lack of compassion. These will no longer feed success. The time to return to love is here now and those in tune can feel it. The mother earth wishes all of her inhabitants to return to love. It is time. Let’s move that way now. Ask yourself if your actions, words, or thoughts are loving? This will help guide you on your course back to love, back to balance. Namaste.
It's all about balance...
MARY MAGDALENE: Yes, the Mother Earth is leading the way with her energy and her restoration of balance. An earthquake to you may seem like the world is turning upside down but it is simply the planet restoring balance. Please look on other events you may call disasters as simply a sign of the world returning to balance. The financial corruption of Wall Street and the banks failing or nearing failure–it is all the system trying to regain balance. But in this case, the system is innately imbalanced and when this happens, sometimes the only course of action is to start over. If the financial industry falters and falls apart, see this as a return to balance. I’m not saying this will happen but I am using this as an example.
All events can be viewed in two different ways one as the world falling apart and one as the world falling together– finally coming into balance of its own accord. We encourage you to view events like this or others like them as a coming to balance– a coming together. Have compassion for others. Hold space for events to move through this transition with grace, ease and joy and peace. Hold space for these activities that are highlighting the imbalance in the world. They are doing good work–work that needs to be done so we can move forward towards the perfect balance. Hold a vision of a world in balance and it will be. Namaste

Thank you. I have a brother who follows buddhism and after several talks, I was left with wondering what the starting point of their belief system/practice was. I know in my heart this is a source, a blissful starting place as you put. But when I talk to him, it seems he is on a path to end suffering and to repeat the karmic learning process, but that there is no “god” for lack of a better word. I find this hard to believe there is no “god”, as there needs to be a starting point, or does there? I would like to think there are many paths to the “godhead/creative blissful force of creation” and it really doesn’t matter which path you choose as long as it allows for purity, love and life. This is what it means to be in a blissful state? Pure Love, Pure life Pureness of all? As I type I know this is true.. for my crown chakra has opened and is beaming to the heavens. I feel it so strong.
Again, thank you!
That’s so true. There is no one path to bliss. Everyone takes a different route and that’s what makes it all so interesting! I love hearing about your crown chakra opening up–yes–PURE LOVE–that’s what we all want to return to. Thanks for your comment. ;>)
This is wonderful. I studied Buddhism for many years, and as you know I still write on it, and I came to a very similar understanding as to what Yeoshua says here, so it was so high to read this. Although not all Buddhists would agree, but that is OK. There are many different branches of Buddhism just as there are many different branches of Christianity and they don’t all agree on the ‘idea’ level. I think when we practice any of these paths we find this unity that Yeoshua speaks of and then these differences seem inconsequential. So beautiful, thanks- – Lisa
