Past the Mission

I am exploring asking Guidance/Greater Self different questions. I had been approaching this task like there was a most exact perfect question that would result in the answers I am seeking. I now realize that the question is just as much a part of the journey as the answer. How could I think that anything I could ask Myself could be wrong? And thinking that something has to be exactly perfect in order to work is a mind game. The mind likes us to believe in magical actions. The mind says "So, you are not able to manifest what you want? You must be doing it wrong. You have to do it exactly right or it will not work" But the Universe is wild and abundant and scatters seeds everywhere. We do not manifest from the mind and the words we say do not matter. What matters is clear intentional focus from the Heart, fueled by Love and powered by Divine Will. If the answer does not come from a question, let the question change and unfold. The answer is there for those who seek.

Soul, What is my mission?
We can feel your fear just asking this question. Are you afraid there will be no answer? Are you afraid of being wrong? Being wrong is not your mission. You are a being of light and your mission is to shine, to know who you are so that others can see who they are as well. Your mission is to sparkle and glow and radiate your essence, the essence of your true nature and allow others to see you and know you are all connected. Your mission is to know your connection to divine source and spread the word. Your mission is to write and talk and hug and connect to all you meet.

So, what's your mission?

Pretending

I have been very focused on Spiritual Development since my dear friend Mark died. I somehow need to prove to myself (or my thinking mind) the truth of spiritual reality. Frequently I am not exactly sure how to do this but one of the techniques I have stumbled upon is pretending. If I don't know how to connect to Spirit or how to prove to myself that Spirit even exists, then I pretend. I imagine what it would be like to feel connected, to feel loved by Universal Source. And through imagining, I can create the pathway to something real.

GS: We your army are here for you. We send you waves of love. Simply lower your shield and let the love in. It is all around you. The only thing keeping love from you is you and your fear of love not being there. But it is there. Pretend it is there. What would it feel like to be loved? What would it feel like to be cherished? What would it feel like to have an army of spirit guides at your beck and call waiting to bring to you all that you desire? What would it feel like to live with no judgment? What would it feel like to live without fear? What would it feel like to know that you are a part of a great energetic force, a member of an energetic community of souls, brother and sister souls ,who love you and care for you and support you and want nothing more than to see you grow into the knowledge of who you really are? Open. Release all that stands in the way, the paper fence you have create to protect you from yourself. Open your arms and receive us.

Trust

So one of the issues I have been working on is Trust. I think I got the message when I was young that I was supposed to figure things out for myself. And because of losses and changes in my life that were out of my control, I learned to not depend on others. I even remember hating balloons as a kid because they would pop and be gone. Why have such unreliable things in your life? So now I am learning to trust and depend on my own Guidance. This is what I typed this morning.

GS: Trust is unfamiliar to you. You have always approached life solitarily. It was safer to depend on no one. Mark was one of the few who you depended on and now his body is gone. Yet your love for him is not gone. Perhaps the recognition that you felt with Mark was touching on tapping into us your guidance system using Mark as a representative. And he is more than happy to continue to be your representative now. In fact, it works much better this way as his 3D issues no longer interfere. You can help him by raising your vibratory level, by holding hope and love in your heart, to do what he was unable to do in the body. He loves you still. And he knows how hard you are trying, you are processing, you are reaching to us and to him.  Rest assured that we are here. Rest assured that he is here also. You are not alone. You are not alone. Help is here. Just listen. Ask and we will answer. You are safe. No question is wrong. No question is too ridiculous. This is about you learning to trust and depend. To see and become aware of your interdependence. Because we are all together in this. All humans, all spirits. We are all connected. What you do for yourself affects everyone you meet. The connections are already there, it is merely your awareness of these connections that is growing. Stay on course. Ask your questions. And the answers shall spring forth ready to serve you. Because the answers serve you. They are not a parent meant to scold you. They are not a punishment. They are your freedom. They are your choices and opportunities. Cherish them. Welcome them. They are sent with much love and support always.

Seth

In 1974, I discovered a book that changed my life. That book was "The Seth Material" by Jane Roberts. I found it in a bookstore while searching for something that would help me decide what I believed about what happens when people die.  Jane Roberts channeled an entity called Seth from the middle 1960s to her death in 1984. Seth dictated entire books through Jane with the help of her husband Rob. I absorbed the ideas in the Seth books like a sponge. The ideas felt "right." Several years later, I met a teacher and a group of students and together we explored the Seth Material further. The ideas that I was introduced to through Seth have been the foundation of everything I believe today. Probably his two most famous themes are "We create our own reality" and "Our point of power is in the present." The biggest gift I received from Seth was a belief system big enough to hold whole universes. I now believe that reality is so big, so huge, that our human mind cannot comprehend its vastness; that the actual physical universe is tiny compared to how large reality is. My beliefs have evolved over the years but the basis is still pure Seth. My perceptions create what I see. My access to reality is through this exact moment in space and time. And I am a small part of a much greater collection of consciousness that I can access. So this is one reason why I am doing my guidance typing. Because I want to know more of my self. I want to feel something greater than my 3D physical self. Ultimately, I want to know I am not alone, that we are not alone.


GS: The primary point of this writing is to facilitate your connection to Spirit as you call it. We are many, an army indeed. Opening up your pathways to access Spirit allows you to receive more information. Do not edit. Do not think with your mind. That can be done when reading back the words you have typed. It is best when you just begin to type. As you type, you open further and words come. It is not helpful to try to anticipate the words. Yes, there is a point to typing. Not just to reassure you but of course that is beneficial.  It is much as we have already said. Learning to use a new muscle. Following this path so that others can follow you. This is not a unique talent although the words you receive are unique to you. This process can allow you to live a more heart centered and consciously created life. Using this tool and your imagination allows more possibilities to come into your view. We send you love and encouragement as always. You are not alone. You are so not alone that from our viewpoint the idea is quite absurd. You are surrounded by a sea of love and support and have access to our viewpoints any time you wish.

Team Open Heart

 Most of the time in my direct writing I get variations on the encouragement and support theme. At this point it is getting a little repetitive although I must admit that my appetite for comfort is great and feels good nonetheless. The following, which I wrote yesterday morning, was a little different in that it contains commentary on a topic that I have been thinking about lately. Ascension is the buzz word of 2012 in the metaphysical set. I do not know what I feel or think about this topic. My guess is that there is something significant going on at an energetic or vibratory level but the word "Ascension" brings with it, at least for me, all sorts of egoic connotations that may not be true by association.

GS: We send you much encouragement to continue on the path you have been traveling on. This path will produce results, the results you are seeking. Breathe. Allow the forces to work. All things work together to support you and your development. The path you are on is one that is newly formed for humanity. This is what the ascension business is all about. Forging a new path - new pathways for consciousness. Ascension sounds more dramatic and thus inspires . But new pathways are equally exciting if you truly grasp what this means. Consciousness is going where it has never gone before. This is a great adventure and many of us on the non 3D side are watching, much like the world is watching the Olympics. We are all one team and yet there are different groups who have different metaphysical systems that are somewhat competing. There is no jealousy but enthusiasm for each technique. You are on the team of the Open Heart right now and we believe this resonates with you most delightfully. Go Team Open Heart! Reach and grab and create these new pathways and step back and enjoy the wonders this will produce in your daily 3D life.

So I really like the idea of Team Open Heart! Yay Team! Open Heart certainly resonates with me these days.

In the Beginning

I have been on a spiritual journey for most of my life. When I was a kid, my parents did not attend a church but I managed to explore some religions through friends. In my early teens, I decided that I did not want to believe in any kind of god that would condemn someone to hell forever. And if hell was out, so was heaven. So I spent the formative years after my mother died when I was 13 as an agnostic. This changed in my late teens when my best friend had a dream that she was going to die. She didn’t. However, I was quite alarmed by the idea that something could happen to her so I set about looking for ideas about the afterlife. Forty years later, I am still on that journey but I have picked up a lot of tips along the way. The biggest tip – there is something there. Our there, in there, wherever. There are so many stories, studies and books that tell of afterlife contact, ghosts, paranormal abilities. I am a fan. So I think I shall use this blog to explore some of the ideas I have developed about these issues and see what happens.

Something I wrote yesterday morning:

GS: Fill your heart with love and desires and hope and gratitude. By filling your heart you expand your capacity to hold even more. There is no limit to what the heart can hold. By raising your vibration, by focusing on joy and peace, you invite more into your life. You create the space to hold more. More laughter, more happiness, more communion. Hold a smile in your heart. Feel the smile. Prime the pump. The crystal core of you is energized and strengthened and changes your life and the life of everyone you touch. Feel the deep HA inside. This is the approach to life that will bring to you that which you seek. You now know it is there, it cannot escape nor does “it” want to. You have simply to reach out and grasp it. Ah, that’s it.

Typing Guidance

So – it has been over a year since I used this blog. My apologies. Life has gone on however and I still seem to be learning and growing. Over the past year, I have begun writing what I at first called “pretend channeling” which later morphed into “practice channeling” and has now become “typing guidance.” I have done this on the computer although others prefer pen and paper. I simply relax, close my eyes and ask a question. Words happen. It is an enjoyable process and I am hoping it is part of a larger opening inside myself that leads to more spiritual growth, more love and more connection. I believe that we are all part of a much larger being that exists beyond third dimensional reality and that we all have the capacity to access this greater self. This is my attempt to reach this awareness. This is something anyone can do. It simply requires that we do it. And then we can watch what happens.

So, for my first “public” writing:

Greetings. It is our pleasure to perform for your friends. We are quite able to jump and fetch if you so desire. However, our better use is to open your own heart and expand it to include more love and gratitude. It is by living a more heart centered life that you can truly become all that you dream. And in the doing, so do you affect all those around you. Everything benefits from looking through eyes of love. Look at yourself with love. Look at your neighbor with love. Let love filter all that you see and perceive. By using love as a filter, your vibrational energy is raised and more light is in the world. You all can do this. No one is excluded. Start a new fad. Become the first on your block to have more light! You will be amazed at how one simple change of attitude can color the whole world. Much love and blessings to you all. GS

Okay then. That took me a couple of minutes and other that a little punctuation and spelling correction is exactly how it came. GS stands for Greater Self, btw. I shall post more of my musings anon. Blessed be.
