My name is Youseffa and I am a teaching Spirit guide. I was born not in the country of Egypt but in a country that I think that you call or have called as Ethiopia. As a young child, a babe in arms I was taken from my mother and sold into what you call as slavery. In my day this was really nothing unusual as it could be quite a brutal time, countries jostling for the prize of being the victor. I was passed from one victor to another in a very short term of time until I found myself sold as a very young slave to an associate of a wealthy Egyptian. It was the wife of the Egyptian that showed loving eyes towards me and so I was brought by the Egyptian so that his wife could be happy.

My Egyptian masters had their own children, two boys and two girls who were not friendly towards me at all as they considered me as a slave. Even though my new Egyptian parents did their best to integrate me with their own children, children being children can be worst than adults where being inferior is concerned.

Even though I was not spoiled as my new adopted brothers and sisters were, I worked hard to please my new parents. In some ways I became a recluse because of my brothers and sisters. In that time of recluse I studied under the guidance of the ones that had great knowledge, who were only to pleased to educate me because of my wealthy adopted parents who seemed to wield a great deal of power at the time.

I worked and I studied and yes I accumulated such a wealth of knowledge, but this was knowledge of the academic with no experience of life and I yearned for such knowledge. Even though I was part of a family, I was still brought and paid for; I was still a slave, but not a slave if that makes any sense. My life belonged to another as in servitude. For me I never felt as if I was an equal to my adopted brothers and sisters. To my adopted parents, yes I was an equal and they encouraged my education with the ones that had the knowledge and yes, yes I absorbed all the knowledge and also the history of that knowledge. Yes, yes and yes again it was so hard and at times so difficult to absorb all these teachings and I would say that the beliefs of my new family were hard to accept, but when I did accept their beliefs then the rest fell easily into my hands as if a man works with wood or mud bricks because to build you have to know what you are building with.

My favourite subject was the stars, ah, what an education, what wonders there are out there in that universe, such knowledge and yes you can be possessed by such knowledge, I was. Even with the knowledge that you have today you still miss what we did not miss, because unfortunately you have this tendency to assume and that is not a wise counsel to have, never assume as it is a dangerous thing to do. I am sorry but those few words had to be said. Yes I loved my work with the stars as it opened up so very many doors where others lives were to be considered. But in all things you have to tread very carefully with such powerful knowledge.

For me who was brought and paid for I found that the accumulation of knowledge was a powerful tool to use as long as it was wisely used. My adopted parents were aware of my knowledge and always encouraged me and there were very many times when my advice was sought where coming events were shall I say rather crucial to them at that time. Even though I was a slave as such and I had a ready made family it pleased me greatly that at the young age of shall I say a young man in his teens, his adopted parents came for advice. This is when I realized the power of knowledge.

I was fluent in several languages and to use your words of today I was also fluent in the mathematics where the science of the heavens is concerned. I was extremely lucky because I could absorb knowledge very easily. I had an old man, an ancient man, a very wise old man who taught me knowledge. He taught me everything that he knew because he realized that I was a willing partner to the knowledge that he had and I WANTED IT.

He was strict and yes a very hard task master who worked on what Terence would say “a short fuse”, yes he had a bad temper if you did not understand what he was saying, so yes, you listened intently. I was punished if I was not concentrating properly, but I was punished physically but never mentally. His education and how he applied his education would horrify you people of today, but I respected this very old man because he had the knowledge that others never had. Can you understand this, he was the only one that had such knowledge and he wanted to share it before he died. I wanted this knowledge, for others around me considered in their own wisdom that they did not need such knowledge, but my own opinion was that they were too lazy to accumulate such knowledge. Yes, I eventually became his only student.

Eventually I became proficient in all that he taught me and then one day he said that he could teach me no more. For me it was hard to accept what he had said  and I retorted back and in my reply I said to him, but I do not have your experience, he then replied, but every life is an experience as long as you take the time and trouble to understand the experience.  

Yes he eventually died which left a great void in my life at that time because he was my mentor. If you have ever been lucky to have a mentor in your lives then you will understand because it is they that teach you because they want to teach you and they do this with great love in their hearts because they know that the knowledge that they are giving you, you will pass on to others.

With the permission of my adopted parents, they allowed me to leave their home as they gave me my freedom as a person as it was their right to give. They knew that I had the knowledge, but what good is knowledge if you do not have the experience that goes with such knowledge because it is the experience in using such knowledge that creates the intensity that makes that knowledge go further. It actually creates a more stability feeling in the ones that you are trying to teach.

I assured my new parents that I would return because now I was a free man to do whatever I wanted to do. I had to experience this new freedom that they had given me and experience it I did. Very, very many seasons went by before I returned and yes my knowledge was greatly shall I say amplified. I think that is the best way to explain it.

Of course my expertise were, yes again amplified by my parents to all who wanted to listen and yes very many started to listen to my words and also my advice. I was listened to because I always stayed as a peaceful man, I wanted nothing, or maybe sustenance to survive. Yes I lived in a rich household, but my parents insisted that there must be a payment in kind for the knowledge given.

Then came the day that the Pharaoh, is greatness Ramesses the second commanded that I should serve him as a scribe especially where his numerous children was concerned. A difficult task I can assure you, but I rose to this task because for me it was such a great challenge and in everyone’s life it is so good to have a challenge, it makes you a better person.

My lord and master at that time Ramesses the second had very, very many children, but then again I was a hard task master as I was taught by the very best and I applied his teachings to the ones that wanted to learn. Then a little later the Pharaoh himself wanted information from the knowledge that I had. I gave this knowledge freely, much to the annoyance of the priests and advisors that surrounded him. The advice was demanded and the advice was given, I really had no choice because the Pharaoh was everyone’s lord and master. In some ways I became his inner ear. It was this that was my security where living within the household of this lunatic Pharaoh helped me to survive and yes he was a demonic despot in every sense of the word.

I do not care what your historians have said about him, but I know because I was there at the time. He was classed as the great builder, but only to himself. A lot of history and information that would have been useful for your historians of today were erased at his command, because his word was the word of a god because he was god in everyone’s eyes, well nearly everyone but definitely not me.

It was me that had the knowledge from my teacher who had gained the knowledge from his teacher and so on and so on. The knowledge was passed down to another only if that other person could be found. I eventually found the child that I was looking for, but to you she was not a child as she was in her early teens. She yearned for knowledge and I gave her that knowledge and she eventually became a priestess with the knowledge that others feared. She was dramatic with her knowledge and she showed it with her arts of the dramatic. Yes, people were in awe of her.

Yes for me I had passed my knowledge on and for me, yes I could rest, but I loved to teach and teach I did but never with the great knowledge of life because in my time that had to be done very secretly and let us be completely honest with each other, who wants to die, I definitely did not. I had more than enough problems where the priests and the Pharaoh and his advisors were concerned because I was a soothsayer who had great accuracy. I had a lot of power, but I never used that power against another, but it was a power that kept others at bay and yes I used that side of the power because I did not want my demise to come forward before it was due.

I left the great household and this was due to the advance knowledge that I had gathered where the stars were concerned. I used this knowledge so that the great one would encourage me to reach out further for more knowledge. Once he understood this then the rest was easy to manipulate. The leaving of the great one and his household was important for my survival and I also wanted peace, peace of mind and also peace from the ones that wished me dead or otherwise. Please do not think of me in a cowardly fashion because two thirds of my long life was within the royal household, I just wanted peace for myself.

I traveled and learned more of life especially of others which was a boon to me because to learn from others who do not have the same upbringing as you is a very fortunate position to be in. Yes I learned especially from people who were not as fortunate as me and especially from one who was of a different belief than I was. I was fascinated by his tenacity of life because he was lower in life’s status than I was and he reminded me of my old teacher who had taught me all that I knew.

This man who was called Jacob would never give in to others, he was proud and he was especially proud of his achievements and it appeared to me that he had the respect of others but he never showed it off as he was quiet in his ways. Obstinate at times, yes he was but a good man I think that you would have to go a long way to find better. In his teachings I found humility as to show off your knowledge or your wealth only encouraged the demise of oneself. It was his teachings that impressed me the most, because of there sameness to my old teacher who held similar beliefs and attitudes where life is to be considered.

My remaining last third of my life was the most satisfying part of my life because I learned never to yearn for wealth where monetary things were concerned. Yes, I never wanted for anything where money was concerned but I did yearn for love and I mean genuine love but not love as a possession. In the latter part of my life I started to learn about love for others and yes, oh yes it made me feel good about myself, I had finally found something that yes I felt absolutely comfortable with. Yes I gave myself to others with all the love that I could give with all the education that I had accumulated over the many years of my life.

I taught young minds in a place very far from the royal household as my knowledge had to be given freely. Many years previously I had given my knowledge to a young female, but I learned from others that knowledge MUST ALWAYS be shared. I shared ALL of my knowledge to all who wanted to learn as this became my quest. I knew that my life was coming to an end and I could not be selfish to take my life’s secrets to shall I say my grave.

My last few years were spent with the ones who wanted to learn and I enjoyed this. My peaceful moments were spent overlooking the sea because I enjoyed watching the movements of the ocean, such power that she has, so does the education of the mind. The power of the sea was like a savior of the mind to me. In my last third of my life was when I really started to live with the freedom that life can give.

I grew old and spent the remaining part of my old age watching the sea because the sea gave me great peace of mind because I finally realized that the sea is where life starts because life cannot start without the sea, but then again that is not for me to talk about tonight as another who is called Mael talks better than I where the world of nature is concerned.

I feel that this will be a good ending for tonight’s talk and hopefully you will read more of my words as I have enjoyed giving them. I am Youseffa the teacher.
