Joyouschee: Getting Married!

The wedding bells are tolling on 7th of May 2008... And guess what? The bridegroom is none other than me!

First of all, let me introduce all of you to my beautiful wife, Angel. She is Vietnamese and her name means angel in Vietnamese. Vietnamese, as I have found out, is a very difficult language to learn and speak for native speakers of English. Therefore, we have decided to use the name – Angel - so that people can address her more easily.

I believe we have already planned who we are going to be with before incarnation and all of us would already have had some intuitive ideas of how our destined partner would look like.

It was love at first sight for me and I can tell you that her physical appearance is close to what I have always wanted in a lover. I like girls who are sweet and Angel is very sweet with her big innocent eyes. Her skin looks tanned and I am one who prefers a darker skin tone. I am also attracted to girls with a lovely voice and she has a most beautiful voice that won her an inter-school singing competition in her student days. I believe we have already planned who we are going to be with before incarnation and all of us would already have had some intuitive ideas of how our destined partner would look like.

So how did it all begin? Let me rewind back to a few years ago. I was asking Maitreya, channeled by Margaret McElroy, about my difficult relationship with my ex-girlfriend when he told me that I am destined to meet someone else who will match me spiritually but not in a few years’ time. Sometime last year, Prophet Muhammad (channeled by Rosanne Dourado) told me that there is an opportunity to meet the other half in 2008. That was followed by a channeling with Kuthumi (by Lynette Clark) when he said that I would be much happier this year on the emotional body. These are all hints on what is to come.

I was also feeling very lonely at times and I was asking for the universe to bring me a partner. Having said this, I know that it was a time to learn to love myself. After all, if I can't love myself, how can I truly love another? Nevertheless, I took steps to transform my thinking positively and to manifest my own reality. I decided then that whenever people asked about my bachelorhood status, I would respond by saying that “Oh, I am still single now but I would be attached next year.”

“How do you know?” they would ask.

And I would answer playfully by saying “My instinct tells me so.”

Most importantly, I really believe what I said and I hardly have any doubt about my potential partner appearing in 2008. It was so effective that I met my wife a few days before the year 2008 actually arrived.

The way we met is nothing short of dramatic but for privacy and personal reasons, I will not share too much. What I wish to share though are the metaphysical aspects of this relationship.

I met my wife in Malaysia during a trip there and before she went back home to Vietnam, the words “Will you come and live with me in Singapore” shot out of my mouth. Until today, I could still hardly believe that I had said those words then. You see, at that time, there were many problems yet to be sorted out. Many fear-based questions arose.

Is she the one? Will I have enough money to support her (she can’t work here until she gets her permanent residence)? Will communication be an obstacle? Can she accept my kind of metaphysics and what I am doing with Cosmic Lighthouse? Will her parents allow her to come to Singapore to co-habit with a man before marriage (Vietnamese are generally quite conservative)? Will my friends and relatives accept her (there is a social stigma towards Vietnamese in Singapore)?

Fears came up BIG-time. I lost sleep and wondered if I will regret it. The matter dwelled in my mind endlessly.

But thankfully, I listened to my heart and plodded on despite almost drowning in the sea of fears. I know clearly in my heart that I wanted to be with Angel. I started making plans for her arrival by looking for an apartment and buying her air ticket – a symbol of meeting my fears head-on.

Angel did not come to Singapore immediately and I went to visit her twice in Vietnam, including a stay at her house. More fears surfaced and I was actually very reluctant to meet her family initially. Nevertheless, the stay at her house turned out to be most wonderful and I felt like I belonged in her family. Time flew and her family gave me a sense of warmth, very much missing in my own.

The days were inching towards her arrival in Singapore and panic started to set in again. I became so confused and I began to suspect if the fears were an intuitive sign that this was not for my highest good. I was mistaking my ego for my higher self. Regarding this, I wish to share something Margaret McElroy taught which has left a deep impression on me. She said that it is very easy to tell your ego from your higher self - the higher self has NO fear.

Luckily for me, while preparing the content for the next issue, I got to speak to Kuthumi (channeled by Lynette Clark) and Lanto (channeled by Suzanna Axisa). Although they did not say too much, enough encouragements were given to help me move forward with this. Clearly, the choice was mine to make.

I also wish to share a very interesting experience. I was in the swimming pool doing my meditation and I asked to communicate with the higher self of Angel. A very beautiful energy came in to connect with me and identified itself as Angel’s higher self. Very encouraging words and feelings were given to me and I closed by asking the energy to give me a very clear physical sign if I am encouraged to take this relationship further. After I stepped out of the pool and started to dry myself, I suddenly noticed blood on the towel and began to realize that I was bleeding profusely from my nose! And it was the first time I had nose-bled in the swimming pool for a very long time. Besides, my workout was very light that day. Was it a sign?

Anyhow, Angel arrived in Singapore and things sort of fell into place. I have since moved into my own apartment (away from my parents) and I am now beginning a new chapter of my life. Coincidentally, Margaret McElroy (who channels Maitreya) was in Singapore at the same time to conduct workshops and she had offered tremendous assistance to me, especially in helping me to deal with my fears.

Maitreya also explained to me that we were husband and wife in a past lifetime and I had run away from Angel in that life. Now, I am back to do it right this time. This was what we had planned as souls before our incarnation. We also complement each other greatly and can become a potent force together. The interesting observation I have here is that Spirit only told me about this aspect after I have committed and brought her over. If they have told me about it earlier, they could have interfered with my free will.

Astrologically speaking, Angel and I are also the most compatible sun signs of Virgo and Capricorn respectively. Margaret has kindly gifted us with an astrological compatibility report and it reads like we are made for each other.

To close off, I would like to thank the people and masters mentioned in the column for their help. Last but not least, I must thank my co-founder, Lee, who is a most generous soul and he has once again demonstrated that by supporting me in this wedding financially.

Hopefully, this newfound joy in my life will be the foundation for my future work in Cosmic Lighthouse. Be joyous!
