September changed perception

September is gone and the world has changed… at least for me. Remember my post Perception creates reality? I still am not sure of all the changes ‘the energies of September’ have brought for me, but there was one specific moment that I feel is important to share. It happened during a meditation on the 27th, the day of the Blood Moon. Of all the effects the last few weeks might have had, this experience may have caused the most pronounced change of my perception.

During meditation I was told I would experience the ‘appreciation event’. I perceived my Guide spreading out a blanket on the ground in front of us. We walked onto it and suddenly someone pulled it away from underneath our feet (like that moment in the movies when someone pulls away the tablecloth and all the plates and glasses seem to just jump up and drop back on the table?). Perhaps it was intended to show me how they can ‘literally’ pull the rug out from under my feet, and I’m still standing.

The next moment I perceived myself slowly sinking into water, deeper and deeper until I reached something resembling the ocean’s bottom. There my attention was drawn to my left and a big chest filled with treasures. I then saw people approaching the chest, admiring the treasures.

I was turned around, to look the other direction. There I was given something resembling a heart shaped balloon, I held it in my arms and I knew: ‘this is APPRECIATION’. I felt it in my heart.  I suddenly realized: Once I truly understood and felt appreciation for what is, all ‘the treasures of the world’ that many of us are constantly trying to accumulate lose their meaning.

Once you shift your perception from ‘what you think you need’ to ‘appreciating what you have’ you have changed your world. It was a simple message but the ramifications are far reaching and powerful.

Intense transformative times

During July and August, the internet was buzzing with a great variety of predictions from ‘wave x’ to ‘the tsunami of love’, another financial crisis, a meteor hitting earth and numerous other big events.  So like many of us I was curious what September would bring, wondering if big change is near. Well, perhaps it’s not THE big one, but for me – and many others – September seems to be a transformative month.

The information I received may apply to you, or not. I decided to share it here as it may be ‘the light at the end of the tunnel’ for some. Especially those who have been struggling with the ‘side effects’ of their spiritual path, aka spiritual growing pains, may be interested in this little bit of information I am offering. As with all things, take what resonates with you and leave the rest behind. The following info was brought through over a period of 10 days by my Spirit Guides and a group of other metaphysicals I regularly contact.

During a meditation session on September 8th, I started hearing the words ‘in and out’ referring to a back-and-forth movement between dimensions. The image accompanying these words was a revolving door that kept turning. What I then perceived was as if something was being ‘unhooked’ from the left hemisphere of my brain and then plugged in to the right hemisphere. The message was: ‘”This is to make progress, progression INTO the light. There are light frequencies that won’t harm you but they will destroy parts of you, leftovers from old times, previous centuries of human, humanity’s development.” I was told that this process would touch my mortal life although it wouldn’t have the dramatic changes I  might be wishing for. I was reminded to eat lightly, drink lots of water (the usual stuff when major energetic shifts take place and the body needs to cope). I was warned that this ‘phase of recalibration’ would come with some discomfort but that I needed to ‘endure’ it to make the leap into the next evolutionary step. Towards the end of the session, I was urged to focus with intent and spend half an hour each day meditating on this ‘task’. The severe impact (strong physical reactions) would last for 3 weeks – after that they were supposed to lessen. I was also asked NOT to perceive them as as the annoying symptoms they are but to see them simply as indicators of change.

This was followed, 5 days later, by another message relating to the current ‘process’. The weekend of the solar eclipse – one that really knocked me off my feet – I had a meditation during which I communicated with a group of entities called ‘the Transformationists’. I perceived the image of human DNA and along with that the message “DNA lightcode activation”. That was it. I had no idea what they were talking about but it was clear that this was what’s happening to me.

Finally, on September 16th, I woke up in the middle of the night, knowing one of my primary guides ‘visited’ me. I was too tired to engage in any kind of conversation but since he rarely shows up, I felt it was important. So in the morning, I tried to make contact. He had come in to show me support during this ‘difficult time’ . When I asked about duration of this shift, how long I was to anticipate dealing with these physical reactions, he indicated that the shift should be over by mid March. I was told that this also applied to others on the spiritual path. So there it is, the light at the end of the tunnel! September may not mark the unfolding of big events changing the earth – as some seem to hope – but it already has been an intense, transformative month for me!

Are we there yet?

I recently came across Molly’s post on 2020 Spiritual Vision (thanks Molly!).  She mentions that “…Living a life lead by spirit is a walk with faith…” and I completely agree. At least my spiritual path doesn’t feel easy either. Many of us endure some severe, some difficult, some seemingly ridiculous physical, emotional and mental symptoms. Some of us are so tired that – aside from those symptoms – we may also suffer additional burnout due to our Awakening. So it may feel as if we’re being pushed through the eye of a needle to prove our dedication. I hope that’s not the objective but rather a side effect of following this type of spiritual path. All the pains and losses and whatnot symptoms along the way are our perceptions and reactions to the signs of change, the transformation we’re going through. So are we nuts or what?

Sometimes the challenging parts of this path may appear as bordering insanity (depending on your perspective, of course). ‘Following Guidance’ is a major component of my path. It took me a long time to achieve a better, clearer communication with my Spirit Guides. When this finally came to pass it seemed only natural that I follow their advice. This doesn’t mean I’m a puppet, I hope. I always try to treat my Guides with respect. I’ve noticed if I follow their suggestions things frequently work out well for me – if I don’t, then not so much.

For the last year or so my husband and I have been told by Guidance that we’ll be moving soon. The dates keep being pushed out but the message remains essentially the same. So all renovation projects around this house (new flooring etc) get postponed, from one month to the next to the next… you get the picture. We feel as if we need to be ready for the move but nothing happens. We’re lucky we haven’t packed yet or we would have been living out of cardboard boxes for the last half year! But we do have the empty boxes ready.

Travel is another great example of how dedication to my Guided path  has changed my life. I used to love traveling, not so much anymore. When I’m considering a trip I ask Guidance if the trip would be beneficial or if there is a reason I shouldn’t go. If they object, I usually conform. Unfortunately the few times I asked that question in recent times, I was told to stay home. Last summer, however, my husband and I were specifically asked to take a trip to Switzerland – and so we did. Are we crazy? Probably but since we have Guides shouldn’t we listen? We went, we had a good time and made important connections.

It is true: no one promised it would be easy (as Molly stated) and sometimes it may get to the point of ridiculousness but would I want to change it? Probably not. Spiritual dedication can be a pain in the butt (literally, as I spend so much time on my zafu) but there’s no question of quitting at this point. Did I sign up for this? Not that I am aware of but it’s possible I missed the small print. One of the things I’ve learned on this Spiritual Journey is to have a lot of patience and not take things too seriously. Just like life itself. It may be terminal but it’s not serious.

Be Who You Truly Are

These five words along with the revelation of having Spirit Guides changed my life. It completely changed my perception of life, of the world, the Universe. It was such a simple sentence and yet had such a strong impact on how I perceived myself and the way I wanted to lead my life. At the time I was told this, I had no idea who I “truly” was. And yet, those words hit home. It was the truth. But how do I find out who I truly am and how can I be that?

It was the year 2005 and I had called a psychic/medium/healer/energy worker. It happened more out of curiosity than a pressing need (I’d heard miraculous things about his work). At least that was my understanding of the situation back then. From my current perspective I would say the whole incident was well orchestrated by the same Guides who revealed themselves to me – via the psychic – in that very same session. The psychic told me there wasn’t much he could assist with but for one important message from my Spirit Guides: Be Who You Truly are!

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t about “walk the walk and talk the talk”. The message I received in 2005 was to recognize that there’s a lot more to this Universe than just the physical manifestation and effects we perceive. There is a lot more to me than what I was aware of at that time. I needed to discover who I am and the potentials I have.

Recently I had a meditation during which I was shown a floating iceberg. The iceberg represented me. The part under water was huge compared to the small portion above. This is not an uncommon analogy.

Psychologists like to use this iceberg analogy: What is above water is conscious, our conscious awareness. The part touching the water, sometimes in, sometimes peeking out of the water is the subconscious. The biggest part (90-95%) of the iceberg which is below the surface represents our unconscious.

However, in my case the iceberg above water represented what I (and others) perceive of myself in my mortal daily life. The portion under water represented my mind. It showed me the potentials and possibilities I have access to.

Being who you truly are isn’t a destination, a static state you can achieve. The longer I’ve been on this journey, I find the “being” morphing into “becoming” who I truly am. The further I come along, the more possibilities open up.

Although it sounds so easy, I wouldn’t say being / becoming who you truly are is a simple task. In fact, connecting to and trusting my Guidance has been instrumental in achieving who I am at this point .Find more about connecting to Guides here.

Do you know who YOU truly are…..becoming?

Perception – Creating our reality (Part 2)

“Your perception is not my reality. Your reality is not my perception.”

Depending on your perception you might see a vase or two people looking at each other…or both. This is true for the rest of us: some perceive both, some either…and who knows, there may be some who simply see a black-and-white pattern.  If the image wasn’t so ambiguous, there would probably be an agreement on what is portrayed since humans generally tend to share perceptions. We live in a shared reality.

This isn’t true for the metaphysical realms (and please keep in mind I can only speak from my own experience and that of a handful of other people). When connecting to, accessing or working with the metaphysical, perceptions vary widely. In my last post I alluded to the lack of shared reality when “playing in the metaphysical realms”. If you are on an individual spiritual path (in contrast to sharing group experience and perception in an Ashram with a Guru ) it is very likely that your experiences with the metaphysical will be very different from any others’. I am sure you’ve heard someone talking about being guided by Angels, another saying it is Spirit Guides or higher self. Does the label matter?  Not really – the label is applied by belief, education, social setting etc., etc. It’s just a label. What is important is THAT you perceive, in some manner, another entity.

For most of us, perception is heavily based on past experiences (and to some degree on our motivational and emotional state). Experiences provide context. Early in my “spiritual quest” I was told about Spirit Guides and how they assisted us on our path. This set me up for certain expectations (read: perception) and a context. I’ve learnt that metaphysicals try to match our level of perception for communication purposes, if they don’t, we may not perceive anything (unfortunately that has happened to me numerous times). Usually we can’t interpret the information that our mind perceives when we lack the context. In order to perceive more of what we’re not familiar with (and there is a whole lot out there) we need to expand our perception and be open for new experiences….

…and enjoy them.

 

Another series of energy pulses on its way

Saw an article saying “something’s brewing” on one of the spiritual websites. My sense is that the brewing has gone on for quite a while now. To me it feels more like “something’s boiling” at this point. Feels more like a pressure-cooker. Perhaps it is due to yet another energetic surge my  guidance says is starting  Wednesday night/Thursday morning sometime. Now we’ve had many of these energy-shifts and surges over the past months, past years even…. but not everyone is affected the same way.  We aren’t all on the same path. Yes, there are many so-called lightworkers out there but not all have the same path. Not all channelers’ messages will resonate to you the same way. Some speak to you, others not so much and that too can change over time (it has for me). So when this next surge is coming in, you may or may not be aware of it or its effects. Nothing to worry about, it’s just the way it is. So much is being offered in the “spiritual” (I personally prefer the word “metaphysical”) arena, it is hard to distinguish: “what’s meant for me” ? This is up to each individual’s own discernment and if you trust your inner guidance, you’ll end up exactly where you need to be, with the relevant info meant for YOU.

That said, I trust that the ones in need for this little bit of info will get it – this way or another. I received information concerning an influx of energy (approx. July 15 – 19, when I am clearer about starting time, I’ll update) affecting communication in the whole Universe, the way we communicate. This starts out in the metaphysical realms but will hopefully (eventually) affect the physical world as well. How? If only I knew!

So here is the info my husband and I received via Spirit Guides:

There will be a series of energy pulses starting the 16th and culminating the 19th.  The pulses originate with a star group somewhere out there.  (This is actually part of the “Progression of Light” that I mentioned earlier on my blog.) This is the fifth series we have/will experience.  This series of energetic pulses is about communication.  In recent eons a common method of metaphysical, etc. communication has been packets — layers of info formed into a package to be opened by the recipient. We were told that the packet system is being phased out to be replaced by an earlier system — direct access to flows.  The amount/level of info one can access is determined by his/her degree of perception.  This old/new system is to morph into something else later.

Presumably we are to be focused on refining our perceptions (in all senses here and  – metaphysical realms-) before the pulsing starts and then focus on whatever new refinements we can perceive — I assume this relates to all species.  We are also told this will have some (limited) effect on the human collective.

Anyhow, just thought I’d share and will keep you posted over the next few days with more…

Ready for Solstice?

Here we are, half of 2015 is over already. I still can’t believe we’re that far into the year! And tomorrow it is time to celebrate the longest day in the year….and so much more. Are you ready ?

I’ve noticed that there is less and less NEW being said lately – on the new-age-websites – as if no one really knows what is going on / is going to happen …and / or  they simply have said it all. Lots of messages sound very repetitive to me now. In the last few weeks I got tired “surfing” my usual internet-connections, the channelers and other new-agey-sites that I used to go to. There is nothing new coming out of them. Have we reached a point where “all has been said”? Or is the internet reaching a point of exhaustion? I wish I wouldn’t have to turn to it…. but somehow it’s been the easiest way to at least find some people who are on similar paths. Channelers who used to write about “this and that coming up” have gotten more quiet (at least those who aren’t faking it) and it seems we’ve entered a time of BIG CHANGE where even metaphysicals who are their source of info have less and less of an idea where “project earth” is going. Are we just part of a big experiment 🙂 ?

I guess it doesn’t matter…. as we are in it and should be in for it all. Supposedly – as so many write – we “signed up for this”. Hmmm… my Spirit Guides never told me that, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t. I have to admit though, I am curious though, where this is all going. It just would be nice if those BIG CHANGES could also take place right here in our mortal lives! My body gives me indication (which, translated, means: hunger and cravings for FOOD) that there are more and more energy shifts coming. I have noticed this – and heard and read it from many others – that this is one of the defense-mechanisms we seem to go through when energetic shifts are hitting us, hitting earth. With the frequency of hits that we seem to be experiencing this year, I am not going to lose weight soon, that’s for sure 😦

Best thing to do: communicate with your Spirit Guides and body to see how you can ease this time of transformation for the body but also the rest of you. As the “rest” = ego isn’t always happy to go through all these changes or at least not through the side-effects. No, thank you. Talk to your body, be kind to it, it does need love too! It does need attention and it not only reacts to the energy shifts and integration of new frequencies with aches and pains and other reactions because it needs to readjust and may have its problems doing so. The pains and aches also draw attention to the body – so it is a way to pull us back into “this reality” when we are spending lots of time in other realities, “leaving our bodies”.

Anyway, have a good time in the ongoing transformation, in Becoming! I’m courious to see if Solstice brings in another wave of energetic upgrade. Since I am not as earth-bound anymore as I used to, I don’t have a strong feel for it. So I’ll just go with the flow….

Spirit Guides 3 – my own path –

This would be MY version of “how to connect to Spirit Guides”. When I was first introduced to the “idea” that there are Spirit Guides it raised my curiosity. I wanted to get in touch with them and the simplest and at that time probably easiest way for me to connect with them was via a pendulum. I tried it but have to admit that it only worked for a short time – and never worked that well for me as you REALLY have to be very focused to ask your question, come up with VERY precise questions etc etc. Not my path.

So I tried out a technique that I started calling “staring at the wall”. I set aside some time almost every day and simply sat there – like many do in their meditation, only I had my eyes open, staring at a white wall. I was hoping to receive information that way. Well, to be honest, I started seeing darker spots on the wall, here and there, then sometimes they seemed to move around, another time certain parts of the wallpaper seemed more pronounced or come into focus more than others. Then again, I would “see” something in the patterns of the wallpaper just like you might look at clouds and see a horse or a teapot in the cloud formation, that sort of thing. Whatever “vision” I was hoping for … it didn’t happen. I then played a little with colors: stared at a red blanket or a blue towel or whatever I could find in some intense color and drape it over two chairs and then start staring at the white wall. As you may have guessed: I then saw the complementary color. Don’t ask me why – just did that. Now, years later, I can only guess I was guided to do those things to train my eyes in some way.

Months passed, no vision. Nonetheless I kept my ritual of staring and started feeling tingling and tickling around my head and face more and more. It felt like someone was moving energy very gently around my head.

It wasn’t until 3 years later that something changed. In the meantime I had met my (now) husband and we were doing “sessions” together. I started listening to music that I had selected for the “wallstaring” as it seemed conducive for this kind of work. It wasn’t music from one of those meditation CDs you can find anywhere, I would actually call it atypical for this purpose…but it was important that it worked for me….and it did. The more I used it, the easier it was to get into that altered state that I now achieved quite easily when staring at the wall. Still no visions though. However, I started perceiving with my inner eye. Now, years later, I cannot recall the first times it happened but it felt like we were doing something like a guided meditation although my husband only guided me into the “spot” and then I would tell him what I perceived. This is a technique that we continued for quite some time. It could best be described as a Shaman’s Journey.

That was the same year I was told by a very dear, closely guided friend that I needed to try out Journaling. She told me that it was the way her Sacred Community started working with her. So from then on I sat in the same spot, same times as before but instead of staring I would have an open journal in front of me and wait for “thoughts” that would come in. I wrote them down, no matter how strange or nonsensical they were…..and most of them made no sense at all to me. Looking back now, it seems like we were just trying to establish our communication patterns here. I am still amazed at how hard it must be for our Spirit Guides to get their messages through…but they do…eventually.

It took another 2-3 years for communication to get clearer. I do get messages now that make sense and are made up of meaningful sentences. It doesn’t mean I never doubt what I get or that I do not use discernment anymore – as there may be other metaphysicals who try to disrupt, interfere, play games or whatever else….but communication works A WHOLE LOT BETTER now than it did in the early years.

The steps that seemed important in accomplishing this (aside from what you may have read in the other two posts) were:

1) Discipline and dedication. Setting a daily routine – same place and time – when I try to contact my Spirit Guides is helpful. If I can’t do it every day then I will pick days that work: Monday, Wednesday and the weekend, every other day …or whatever works for you

2) Be as neutral as possible: going into a communication with lots of thoughts or stirred-up emotions will potentially cause problems. Instead, you will want to be in a somewhat neutral state of mind

3) Use some kind of a “protection-mantra” that will banish any and all negative energies, entities etc, trying to ensure a protected communication channel free of any interferences

4) Especially in the early days it was helpful to use certain incense and/or music to accompany the “session” as sound and scents worked as triggers for my body and mind to get ready

There are probably many more little tricks that I cannot come up with right now, but I will add them in the future. If you plan to get in touch with your Spirit Guides, you can get started with the above and see what happens. Have a journal with you and see what comes through. If you are more of an artist, perhaps you feel compelled to draw, for others the communication may be movements. My Guides have shown me certain movements of hands or body in sessions – some were like Mudras, the ones using my whole body ended up being a dance, creating a certain flow of energy that was important for me at that time (or so was told later). Be open and see what happens…and most of all: have FUN

How To Connect With Your Spirit Guides

I have been listening to my spirit guides since 2009. Mind you, if you asked them they would tell you that I have heard them my whole life, I just never listened. You can label them anyway that resonates with you. Some like higher self, intuition, angels, conscience or even just spirit but I have always preferred the term Guides. I believe that connecting with our own inner voice is powerful and necessary.

How I learned to hear my spirit guides was through a workshop I took. The steps were simple; the hard part was trusting and weeding out my ego. Like mastering all things, these techniques will take time and dedication. I believe all of us have the ability to do this with practice and patience.

Steps to Follow

The first thing is to let go of any doubting belief systems that you have in place. If you believe you are not capable of this, chances are you are not at this time. You will be once you change your state of mind. The techniques will still be there waiting for you when you are ready.

After letting go of doubt, the second step is to know nothing is your imagination. This will also help you to let go of any worry that you are not hearing correctly or that you are going crazy.

How will you be hearing? Well, the short answer is in your mind. It will sound like you as in your own thoughts. You will not be hearing with your ears. It’s not like some voice will pipe up from the chair in the corner of the room and say, “Hey there, this is your guide speaking.” Although it would make things really funny and a whole lot easier, that’s not how it works.

Pay attention to your thoughts. When thinking to yourself, asking questions or you are going about your day to day life pay attention to what your thoughts are specifically saying. If you hear “you”, “we” or your name… that’s it. For example, if I’m having a hard time with something I’ll hear in my head, “you can do this!” In my opinion, this is something else outside of yourself speaking to you. Another example is when I ask questions in my head and I hear, “you already know the answer to this.” If it was me speaking in my head, I would say “I.”

Sometimes words will not always be the form of communication they use. It can be a whole range of things such as pictures, symbols, memories, points of references from movies, shows, books you’ve read or my favourite, synchronicity! Things will come into your mind randomly that you need to pay attention to especially things that repeat and connect. For example, I know about the suffering that is going on in the world. This was causing me a lot of frustration. All of a sudden one day I started to hear a scene from one of ‘The Simpsons Tree House of Horror’ episodes. It was the one where the billboards come alive and Lisa discovers that by looking at them they were giving them power and so to defeat them, the town of Springfield had to stop looking at them while Lisa sings her song, “Just Don’t Look.” Well I kept hearing the song playing in my head for days.  I then watched a Russell Brand compilation where he talks about not paying attention to the bad and focusing on what you want and solutions and that was the validation I needed to know it was them trying to tell me something. I began to focus with understanding and more importantly, the world I wanted to live in.

One of the most important things when trying to connect is having validation which you can definitely ask for. My guides know that if they are giving me messages and they accompany it with synchronicity, it will be the validation I need if I’m having trouble believing or listening. You can use whatever form of validation works best for you. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or ask if you are hearing correctly. Know that wherever we get our intuition from whether its spirit guides or our higher self or even God, know that the messages are there to help and don’t take it to a place of fear, but rather know that it’s coming from a place of love. Also, keep in mind they have a sense of humour. One time while I was smudging my home, I suddenly heard the Ghostbusters theme song playing in my head. I had a good laugh about it.

There’s an easy exercise you can do to help you connect. I did this exercise at the beginning of the workshop I took. You will need a piece of paper and a pen. You can do it with a friend or alone. You or your friend will write down a series of one word questions and you have to immediately write down the first thing that comes to mind. Remember all the previous steps listed above and go with it. I’ve heard that switching from your predominate hand may help greatly with this. The questions are as follows: “Male or Female,” “Name,” “Age,” “Appearance” and “Any Messages.” You can add or change the questions however you like. When I did this exercise, a friend of mine who recently passed came through. Loved ones who have passed on can also guide us as well as animals.

I’ve been actively listening for about 5 years now, but I am no master and I argue occasionally because I’m either having a hard time believing or don’t agree with the guidance. Don’t feel bad if you do the same. Just know that our guides are here to assist. Opening yourself to this gift will take time and practice but after awhile it will become second nature. I hope my steps have been helpful.

Spirit Guides 1

Just a reminder: I will only tell you about my own perspective of the metaphysical realms. I may find articles that convey a similar view and will share them with you… but in the end they are only posted here if they truly resonate with me or represent my perspective of the metaphysical realms. I have read so many articles dealing with topics like angels, spirit guides, lightbeings etc etc …. and I know for those who post them, that is THEIR truth (or at least I hope that is the case and they didn’t just copy it somewhere else). I am not someone who copies another mortal human’s stories about the metaphysical realm. Either I write about what I have experienced myself or what I have been told by spiritual beings. I haven’t attended any “spiritual seminars” to learn about “how things work on the other side”. Look around. If you ask any spiritually active people about what they know or perceive of the other side, each one will have a different view. Since we all have our own perception and interpretation of what info we get. There are as many different views as there are perspectives.

Some call them spirit guides, some call them angels, others simply call them lightbeings. Do they exist? From my limited experience I would say: Yes, definitely. Yet I didn’t hear about them until 2005 and didn’t start believing, or even knowing about them until a year later. Do you believe in them ? If so, you  might be interested in something my former “teacher of metaphysics” wrote to me about a few topics that related to Spirit Guides, Communication with the Spiritual realms and other important issues when “playing in that arena”. A lot of times he perceived more than one Spirit Guides with one “mortal human” (as he said there were also metaphysical humans as well) and if there was a whole group of them guiding, he referred to them as a Sacred Community.

Here is what he wrote to me early on when I started my journey of discovering a “new world” – or to be more exact: a whole new universe – in 2005:

The question about “Making up Answers” — this is about communication, discernment and participation.  Communication is a flow of information, hopefully in at least two directions.  If you aren’t open to listening/receiving you will wind up just hearing the mirror (meaning your own reflection).  On the other hand where do our thoughts, our ideas originate?  How many are given to us by our guides?  I don’t have a definitive answer but I know that the more you work with your Sacred Community the more willing and able they are to work with you.

Discernment is learning to differentiate between sources of information/communication.  What answers reflect only our emotions or mortal wishes?  Which information comes from/through our Sacred Community?

Which information comes from sources outside our Community?  This is very important and we will talk more about it.

 

Participation includes everything.  So far I’m not aware of any Community members who want their mortal to be only a puppet.  It is a bit like therapy — the conscious participation of the patient is a primary contributing factor in the success of the treatment (or so I’m told).  Our willingness to work consciously with our Community on modes of communication, on direction, on activities opens the door to greater and larger options.

Knowing vs. Doubting — Never give up the doubting, the questioning.  Always ask about the source of the information — this is part of discernment.  Once you can identify the sources, by whatever means, you can relax a bit on the doubting assuming they are part of or through your Sacred Community.  This is also part of participation — doubting/asking questions opens the door to greater communication; and frequently is educational for members of your Community.

Protection — This is a broad topic.  Boundaries/borders seem to be a difficult issue for many people, therapists of all types in particular (except those whose purpose is to validate their therapy model by fitting every patient into a manufactured box). For now I will only say so much: establishing a ritual when attempting to communicate with your Guides will be helpful. Not only because of the reasons listed below but make sure this ritual includes some phrase or phrases “banishing negative energies and entities”.

Emergency: in case you feel you’re being attacked, suddenly feel sick (while attempting to communicate) or feel blocked from connection…there is always the possibility of establishing an “emergency call” with your Sacred Community. Let them know what your version of “911” is so they know when you need IMMEDIATE assistance NOW.

Community Availability — Some one from your Community is probably always present; but it may be a different “one” from time to time.  They may be working on other projects, or they may be continuing their own education, or…
