under control

2008-05-22T19:46:12Z

I just wanted to post to remind everybody that I'm truly doing better these days. I'm perfectly in control of myself. I can feel like I have control over my gifts. I also feel like I can handle life with them. Can't live with them, can't live without them right? I'm able to focus, I'm able to think straight, I feel better, somewhat, with all that acne, which is still there but not as bad. My skin is back. So am I. Last year was really hard for me. But you know what? I got through it somehow. Thank you all for your support. Maybe I really do use the word Crazy too liberally because I know I'm not. Everybody can say what they want about empathy but I don't think its crazy to feel this way, to feel you are this way, to even be this way.

Hi...New, Confused, and Lonely.

2008-05-22T19:42:14Z

Hey...
I'm in high school. and I'm relatively new to Empathy (Or at least thats what I think it is...). I'd always been good at reading people, and tons of people I barely know will spill out their hearts to me, all the jazz.
But in February its as if every single one of my channels blew open. I started picking up not only emotions, but images and thoughts as well (Not as if whispering in my head...thats happened twice, but more of a 'knowledge' of whats going on in their hearts, which are connected to their minds, so I can get a grip on whats going through their heads). Its as if I've become aware of everything; people, nature, animals. Sometiems I'll just get all trancey and I'll say interesting things about the world, and undercurrents and everything, half of which I often dont understand after I've said them
The few friends that know are always asking me to read them, and I'm always amazing them with what I can tell them...
I can generally block it out, but its getting stronger and stronger and I'm picking up some stuff that I really don't want in my head...
First of all; What's happening? Why Now?
Second; How can I control it, speciallysince it seems tobe getting stronger?
Any tips? Advice? Something? Proof I'm not going crazy? Anything?

Speed Addiction and being an empath.

2008-05-22T19:21:41Z

What most people don’t know--including doctors--about Meth (Speed) usage, addiction and withdrawal.

Speed TURNS OFF empathy!!!! Even worse: speed crushes empathy . . . speed is like a thousand little daggers to the psychic gift of empathy. Speed usage is ANTI-EMPATHY: speed makes it nearly impossible to “feel”. Perhaps some people use speed because they can’t deal with all the feelings of other people . . . they are empath and don’t know it; or they do know it, and don’t have a positive resource for integrating empathy into their life.

Speed Withdrawal can be very hard for an empath because emotions which speed has deadened come alive at Multiple Times their normal intensity: the internal emotions of the speed user, and those they begin to pick-up again from those around them. Speed withdrawal for an empath metaphorically is like rubbing coarse sand-paper all over someone’s body until they are raw, and then asking them to put clothes on.

The stronger the empath, the more “Painful” Withdrawal is. As the speed leaves the body, “feelings” begins to return. Speed withdrawal for an empath can last much longer than for non-empaths: emotions long gone, flood their being--and there is little the person can do about it. I believe empaths who are withdrawing from speed have a much higher likelihood of re-using, unless someone recognizes the situation and is there to empathicly help rebuild them.

Agoraphobia?

2008-05-21T13:57:20Z

Does any one of you experience it, as an effect of being an empath?
I don't freak out or lose control,not on the outside..but inside it's always a pain being in crowded places...in the city.
I feel the energies of those passing by..sometimes their thoughts....And open,big places feel difficult to capture/control for me...so they make me restless.(why would one want to have control over..places?well,I don't know either)
Concerning the passerbies..thing is the first impressions are always the negative ones,that they have inside.They don't attack me or anything,I feel protected...but uneasy:) And can't wait to be somewhere in solitude and just gather myself..
Sure,I developed some methods that help me stay balanced in public....I'd like to read how you cope with it too...
Also...related to that negativity subject...how do you feel about the human nature,in its present state?I'm not a fan,I must confess...I still love everyone though

Empathy blocker

2008-05-21T13:53:15Z

Being curious as to why I had a good deal of telepathic ability but virtually void of any empathy, I joined this tribe several years ago to hopefully find out why. I did receive many helpful suggestions on how to develop empathy then I moved on. I did recall ongoing pleas for help by members here for suggestions on how to shield and isolate themselves from the emotions of others -like seeking an "off" switch. Again, there were always many helpful suggestions by members about the effective methods they used for themselves. Seems like an ongoing topic.
I recently became aware of precisely what blocks my empathy and felt a need to re-join and share that information. I think we all know about the ritual Native Americans use after settling their differences -smoking the peace pipe. But the practical reason for this is not widely known.
To shield themselves from any residual hostility the other might have, they smoked tobacco. NICOTINE BLOCKS EMPATHY
Being a heavy smoker for over 45 years - now I understand my situation. I would never suggest taking up smoking (disgusting habit I love) but there are other sources ( gum, patch) that might be worth a try.

Clairsentience

2008-05-17T20:46:50Z

Any of you able to feel the energy of gems, crystals when you hold them or are near them? If so where in your body do you feel the sensation?

Do you guys sense the energy of places? Energy coming off furniture? Patterns? Plants? If so where in your body do you feel the sensation?

And what sort of information do you get from those sensations?

I'm wondering if many Empaths are also Clairsentient.

Re: Astrology and empaths - Thor

2008-05-16T09:10:01Z

Thor,

>...to see if we can establish a consistent pattern starting with just a poll of sun signs...

Sun (Tropical) signs by themselves does not indicate positive nor negative propensity for psi function. The ability to perceive and then cognize psi function, astrologically speaking can be very simple to 'see' or very difficult. The role of the Astrologer is the accurate synthesis of "who is the person" at the moment of introspection of the Horoscope, --it is wholly a temporal process and non-local in the same moment.

This is a very interesting post and it has generated a lot of response. however to find any true discernable pattern would be a monumental under taking to find a real pattern we need to filter out the noise If each of you would not mind reposting on a different thread I would like to see if we can establish a consistent pattern starting with just a poll of sun signs after enough responses we may find the results interesting. Oh and thank you freedom for bringing up this very interesting thread.

astrology/empath poll

2008-05-16T04:48:08Z

This will be an attempt to establish if there is any connection, or indicators that you may find in astrology to determine empathic ability. This may be an on going process so let us start simple please leave a post with only your star sign and gender. I will make the first post as an example

this is not a discussion thread just leave the asked for information. after enough post we will be able to establish a pattern or no pattern, I will continue to narrow the search to planetary influence in later polls.

special thanks to Freedom for this topic

Cleansing other people's energy out of my system. Issues with shapeshifting and feeling people from past inside me.

2008-05-14T10:23:43Z

Hello all,
Have you ever had the experience of momentary embodiment of other people's energy? i'm a newly realized empath working on more solid boundaries.

I've been noticing over the last few years that i tend to store other people's energy in me and it's hit very strongly recently as i claim my clairsentient and empathic nature. (receptivity is a feminine trait especially with old intimate partners and friends, i feel.) this is especially strong with people who i have shared deep intimacy with, and even sometimes people THEY have shared deep intimacy with. it's like i'm finally realizing the power of energetic merging of sexual and deep intimate relations. kind of like a family tree of energetic relations.

The way this feels for me is as if I'll drop into someone's character (facial expressions, movements, sounds, and general vibe) it's more intense than just picking up someone's common expressions like when you pick up someone elses laugh or saying. i actually for a very quick moment, actually feel the person in me. kind of a shape-shifting of sorts. it feels similar to when i've jumped into the feeling of what it is like to be a certain animal.

the issue is, it comes uninvited. when i've done it with animals, it's through a concious decision on my part to explore, meditate with, and experience an animal. it's especially spooky when it pops up while i'm having my own sexual expression and some old lover's vibes channel in. eek! this also happened recently with a man who i'm considering having sexual relations with, but haven't even gone close yet. i was doing my own thing, and hello, there he was. i felt like i was him expressing sexually inside of me!

mostly this feels more like stagnant energy, especially the old lovers. maybe it's good and the energy is moving out of me. sometimes i feel like there's too much old energy from the past stagnating and mucking up the free-flow of my own divine creative energy in my vessel.

any ideas to effeciently usher out these old energies to make room for the full me? boundary strengthening excersizes, clearing excersizes. rituals?

i am very familiar with chakra clearing, reiki, angel assistance, and kundalini yoga breathwork. also have done some shamanic trance work. maybe i just need to devote more time to these paths that i know.

if anyone has that special key technique to help with clearing past energies esp. sexual and intimate friends and partner energies, i'd really appreciate you sharing them.

Thanks!

Being an Empath

2008-05-13T15:59:55Z

Hi everyone Im new and recently ive realized that im an empath. Ive just graduated from high school last year and Ill be starting college this summer ^_^.

For about the past 5 or so years ive been into spirituality and different gifts like being psychic, astral projection, empathy, and past lives. And I knew I had a gift I just wasnt sure what it was exactly, I believe Ive been slowly awakening. I just know ive always been good at reading people by body language and just the overall "vibe" they give off. Also I can feel how a person feels and I can understand what their going through when their telling me a story about something that has happened to them. And I can pick up on peoples emotions and sometimes itll jump off on me and then Ill be in whatever mood they were in. Or when im in a crowded place I usually tend to get tired when I havent really done anything but walked around. In fact im usually tired all the time just about. And I think its because my subconscious is trying to filter out all of the emotions that are coming about.

Well about a week ago I had a dream, and the dream had a story to it, but I am pretty sure it was directed to me. Basically in the dream, I had a younger brother, and an older brother and me being the oldest. And we just lived in a house by ourselves, Im pretty sure our parents had died or something. The older brother, had came home and someone had followed him there and went into our house. The younger brother walked into the house and had found the man who was dressed in a cloak and had a hood and cape on and you couldnt see his face, and he had a staff in his right hand. Well the old man had asked for the older brother in the dream, and he was telling him how we are whats left of the family that used to rule the land for many years. And then he went on to say how everyone in the land used to have different kinds of abilities and everything, but one of our forefathers had changed it and made it so that only people in his family line would receive the abilities.

So, then he had told my brothers to leave and for me to stay, because he had wanted to have a talk with me. Then he began to say how very soon my abilities will awaken soon. And when he said abilities I knew deep down in side which ones he was talking about, which were like empathy and being psychic. (and those were the ones I actually have a bit, but arent too strong) Then he started to say that I will be the best of all time. (dont know how true that is XD) He said that I must be confident and believe in myself, because I will have to learn to control and harness it. And lastly he told me to keep up "The happy thing" I do. (and for me the happy thing is something I only say to myself, that only I would know. But the happy thing is the movie and book called, "The Secret", and thats about being happy and attracting good vibrations to yourself and so on). But he said that it would help me. Then he said that he was sent by "The Order" and that they will be watching me and making sure that I dont get out of control or something. Evenso I'm pretty sure that the dream was a way to send that message to me about my abilities growing.

And not that im not trying to rush it exactly, but ive done alot of looking up about empaths and psychics and other things, but I feel I need to just find the answers within myself now. Like im kind of afraid that its going to pass me up if I dont try or something.

Lastly I believe I had these same abilities in my past life also and were really strong. In fact thats how some of my friends have said they remember me XD lol. But I just think that they are coming back to me now.

So finally my question is does anyone have any tips about meditating or things that could help me to work on my empathy?

(Sorry for the long post >< lol)

"smelling" people

2008-05-11T03:26:05Z

Okay, so this is kind of strange. I've noticed that I "smell" people sometimes, not literally but figuratively, and as a result I sometimes avoid walking by people or will hold my breath when I walk by them. This happens pretty much exclusively with people that I don't know.
It's not an actual smell, it's more like a smell that my brain will make up for them as their energy field passes by. So my empathic nature not only "feels" them as they go by, but it "smells" them too.
It's rather distracting and I'm not sure when it started, though I feel like it's been going on for a long time. It also feels like an invasion of their privacy in a way; I don't really want to be "smelling" them but when it's on, I can't help it.
Has anyone else experienced this or am I completely alone in this wierdness?

Advice to a 'new' empath...

2008-05-09T06:55:04Z

Hey guys! Sorry its been a long while since posting, but things are hell lately. lol
I recieved a random email a few days ago from someone who read a post of mine on another empath forum, and she was curious about empaths, as it has come to her attention that she is one.
This is what I wrote to her , and for some odd reason, I felt strongly that I should post it here.
(please feel free to comment on anything said)

"I am more than willing to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to ask away via this email if you like! ;)

I also re-read what you wrote before, and being an empath (aka: someone with the ability to sense the feelings of others) is not an easy gift. Sometimes, its more than you can bear, no matter how much 'training' or meditation, or whatever you may try.

I'll let you in on a REALLY extreme example:

I am currently planning on moving to Australia in the next 6 months. Mainly to surf. For me, Surfing is MY main method of blocking things out and just letting loose. (I actually surf in Malibu every Summer)

As a result of my plans, my parents have been kind enough to allow me to use their basement suite until I move...free of rent.

As WONDERFUL as that is and as GRATEFUL as I am...its hell.

My parents are struggling with SEVERE marital problems and sit on the brink of Divorce...every night is a big fight, it seems, my 14 year-old brother has some major medical issues which have lead to depression issues and past thoughts of suicide. My 17-yr old brother is a rebel, into drugs, ect, as well as my 19-yr old brother (I am the oldest..at 25...of 4 boys in the family, no sisters)...who moved to another province just to get away because he hates us so much.

Being an empath in a situation like this is so mentally and spiritually exhausting, that it becomes physically exhausting.

A few weeks ago, I had an argument with my now ex-girlfriend. I told her that I needed to wipe my slate clean and hit my personal reset button. She took this as my no longer loving her, and decided to attempt to end her own life out of her misery....with me to blame. (shes OK...thank God, but it was a scary thing)

Now...Having THIS heavy, and I mean EXTREMELY heavy burden placed upon your soul while youre trying DESPERATELY just to keep a clear head from feeling the extreme feelings in your home, as well as your average day of feeling the emotions of complete strangers....is enough to make you wanna curl up into a little ball and weep.

THIS is where the Gift can also be a Curse.

NOW Im not trying to SCARE you, but Im saying "Brace for impact" and you need to be ready. I get the impression that although you have had this ability all your life, you are only now beginning to properly discover it and let it flourish. As you do so, your senses will become more acute and accurate, and I only caution you to LEARN which feelings are YOURS and which feelings belong to OTHERS.

It can be a very lonely thing, trying to sort out such feelings. For me, I live in a big city, and it's often like a sold-out hockey game when the home team wins....its almost deafening.

I am also a member of the LDS (mormon) church. Our leader, President Gordon B Hinckley recently passed away, and the moment it happened, I felt it. I felt something was wrong. Now...try holding back the feelings of over 5 million people who, in a way, you are already attached to....I couldnt stop crying for 3 days......and I dont cry.

Again....not trying to scare you away, but warning you to be prepared. Cuz its WORSE when youre in love with someone! lol

Sometimes, as an empath, you wanna kiss someone for that first time....and you think about it more and more, then you realise..."is that ME waning to kiss? Or is it THEM?" It can be confusing!

But it can also be amazing! You can grow to love someone SO much more than normal. You love them, and you can FEEL their love for you, which just ADDS to the feeling which you already have! Its truly AMAZING!

You also said: "but I am filled with faith and
> hope that i will finally reconnect with my self and the
> stability of my own emotions so that I can re-start on living
> the life of being selfless and helping others in need, and
> understanding their emotion. "

That is a GOOD start! Having faith in yourself, and a desire to control the gift, and stabilize it and use it to be a benefitial thing is a GOOD way to start....however. Dont be 100% selfless...you cant help others if you yourself are in need of it. Understanding peoples emotions is a touchy gift, and helping those in need is touchier. I can sense your curiosity and desire to learn, and you have ASKED, therefore I will help. Be cautious of knowing when the time is right to intervene.

Anyways, Im ranting. lol

Hope this opens some perspective, and once again...ask ANY question you feel the need to!

Dave"

Should you send "love energy"?

2008-05-07T22:03:06Z

I've been getting conflicting information about sending positive energy to others. Of course none of us want to send negative energy out; but I have heard also that sending even positive, loving energy can interfere with someone else's natural state, basically invading their energetic boundaries. I have been wanting to send healing energy to someone I know who's hurting, but I don't want to do anything that would be potentially negative or confusing. I have had a tendency in the past to overstep boundaries because of misunderstanding my empathic abilities, and don't want to repeat that mistake. Does anyone have experience with this?

How do we get public to see/value empaths as REAL?

2008-05-07T21:43:52Z

The tragedy that has happened to many of us empaths—the pain and self-doubt we have gone through—is due mostly to the fact that genuine psychic empathy is not seen as a REAL human characteristic. For some of us, not only was/is our empathic ability not seen as real, we were/are told by well-meaning people that it was/is a delusion . . . so we did/do one of many things: we deny it ourselves, we try to push it away, we build a inpenetrateable wall around that part of us the feels the emotions that other people are broadcasting, we end up in a mental hospital, we commit suicide, we become beings incapable of receiving love, we do a lousy job of really loving other people . . . I am sure you all can add to this list.

We have a gift that is meant to help and heal people, but very few people see this. How can we raise the level of public (and individual) awareness of this gift? How do we get parents to see what is happening to some of their children, so that they be a support for them: so that they can help them develop that gift to its fullest—and healthiest—extent?

Problem/Moral conflicts.

2008-05-06T04:50:20Z

Hey!
Another posting from yours truly.
First off, I want to thank everyone who responded to my last post..
I used to do the martial arts for 5 years, but stopped for medical reasons. I already meditate. :) Thank you for all the great advice!
But here's the thing.
Somedays, I can feel 'magic' pumping through my veins; I know if I tap into it I can achieve so much more than what I currently can do. Those are the days that being around people give me these horrible head aches and I retreat away from everyone, uncomfortable with that deep well thats springing little leaks all over the place. Other days, I reach and its not there.
At the same time, I don't like what I could be capable of. I'm empathetic, but I'm prone to anger quickly. Already, I got into a fight with someone and 'felt' them out, and hit them in a very sensitive place. On purpose, no less. The guilt and shame that followed that lasted for weeks.I cried for nights, and did everything I could to make it better. Does it ever get easier
If this can be refined to more than me just losing control of it randomly, couldn't I use it badly? I do what I can for other people already, fundraising, being there for those who need me, everything i can possibly do. (I feel horrible others) But what if I get to the point where I can affect people with an 'emotional whip'. It's sorta worked before, when i did it without thinking out of anger.
So...refine and be tempted, or just let nature take its course?
Also, if a situation placed you in danger, would it be ethical to hit them with said whip? I generally ask for permission before 'reading' anyone. But if you were in danger, and it wasn't out of anger, would it be right? Or would it be best to get injured? What's moral and what's not? What 'guidelines' do you go by?
Is it wrong for me to sometimes think that this could be used offensively? I don't want to, but all these what if questions keep running through my head. Practice, or leave it? As sensitive people, do we try or leave it?

Restoring another's humanity/sanity

2008-05-04T21:52:55Z

I am sure many of you have had a thought about this, but I (literally) just had this thought. I know it is possible to heal someone's emotional state: for me doing this is much easier than healing physical damage.

Is it possible to heal someone in a way that would bring back lost humanity and/or sanity? Has anyone ever given this a shot?

I am sure someone that suffers from a loss like that probably wouldn't want to be healed, or would have some serious blockage that would prevent them from considering/wanting it. So I am assuming that this type of healing would have to be forced, more so than trying to heal a depressed person who thinks they don't deserve emotional healing.

Would that be considered "black magick"? Forcing someone to regain their humanity . . .

The thing that inspired this thought to cross my mind: I looked into the eyes (a picture) of a person named Jack Thompson. This is a man that is trying (and has tried) to get a ban on video games, says that many of them are "killing simulators" and that quite a few of them are directly responsible for many horrible acts. I am not sure if he truly believes what he says, or if it is just a ploy to make money at everyone else's expense. Researching this guy in the internet is not a very hard thing to do: it would be a good idea to read-up on him a bit. In any event . . .

Many of you may not know this, but I am able to see someone's mental state/health in the form of spheres. This guy is missing massive chunks of his sphere, and it seems to be turning opaque (which is very much not a good thing).

It seems to me that he suffered some super serious emotional trauma when he was young. I would like second and hundredth opinions on that. I could be wrong about the trauma, but it is clear that he has very little, if any, humanity left within himself (and as a result has become insane to a fairly high degree). He seems like a perfect candidate to experiment on with this type of healing seeing as he in the public spot-light and if he were to suddenly, or gradually, change to a more civil demeanor that it would definitely be noticed.

I welcome all of your thoughts and insights.

What I really meant to say...

2008-05-01T17:34:20Z

Yeah. What he said.

The Karma Clearing Process begins with the removal of all Energy Blockages from the energetic system of a human being. Wilhelm Reich called it the Emotional Armor. These are the little stiffnesses which cause us so much pain in massage. Energy Blockages exist in the mental, emotional and physical bodies... Even in the spiritual bodies.

Energy Blockages split us so as we remove them through advanced and effective meditation techniques so we become more integrated, more solid.

Removing energy blockages from our spiritual bodies will allow us to access our hearts and our conscience, it will allow us to access our soul, our soul path in life, without which life has no meaning.

Removing energy blockages from the mind, the mental body, allows more energy to flow, we become more brilliant. Our minds become clear, our IQ increases and more.. We obtain the power of persistence which enables us to accomplish anything!

Removing energy blockages from the emotions allows more energy to flow, we become more stable. Our emotions become clear, our emotional IQ increases and more.. We obtain the power of having only positive emotions which enables us to radiate love, the energy of change and to access the will!

Removing energy blockages from the body allows more energy to flow, we become more energetic. Our bodies become clear of disease and pain, our energy increases and more.. We obtain the power of flexibility and strength which enables us to live longer and with more pleasure, more quality of life!

And what is that uneasiness within?

Just what is that tension which we find inside?

It is pure spiritual energy which has somehow become perverted by painful traumatic experience. It is energy which has been transmuted by some painful experience into pain, that encapsulated pain which we hold inside us or absorb from people and places on this planet. It is energy blockages which makes us feel uneasy and tense.

All the pain caused negative energy blockages which we hold inside are called the selfish competitive ego.

And because we all have been painfully perverting this pure spiritual energy into encapsulated negative energy or energy blockages for thousands of years, this world is filled with that perverted negative energy as energy blockages which we absorb from everything and everyone around us.

It is that pain and tension inside, those energy blockages which causes us to do all the bad things in this world. It is that pain and tension inside, those energy blockages which causes all the bad things in this world to happen to us, we call the bad things, all the bad luck to us. We are accidents waiting to happen. This is karma.

Body stiffness, niggles and pain cause Illness and disease.

Negative emotions, mood swings, wrong thinking, jealousy, prejudice, hatred, anger, fear are all caused perverted spiritual energy encapsulated as energy blockages. The "Mind filled manacles of fear" as said Blake.

Splitnesses in the mind, blocked minds, unclear and plain wrong thinking. Heartless mind solutions caused by selfishly wanting to gain something to the detriment of someone else, the "final solution" of Hitler for example. If we have a lot of these negative energy blockages within ourselves it will cause us to give up easily, a lack of energy, a lack of goodness and heart and soul.

It will cause us to lose our trust and our faith in the essential goodness of people and our teachers. We will project all our negativity onto them and begin to see them through the dark glasses of our negative experiences. Through the darkness of the negative energy which we hold inside.

We create this negative energy inside. And as we evolve we gain the ability to absorb more of this negativity from the people around us and from our surroundings. We gain the power to hold on to more of this negativity without being affected by it. However, the straw that broke the camels back always comes. At this point we become open to wanting to know how to remove and transmute energy blockages. How to change negative energy into pure positive spiritual energy again.

When we enter into the Buddhafield of Energy which surrounds the enlightened we start to feel and lose this Negative energy from inside us. These are the symptoms of Kundalini energy usually.

Because an enlightened master has the ability radiate pure positive spiritual energy as well as to absorb and transmute this negative energy back into pure spiritual energy, a spiral of transmutation, a column of pure transmutation, the Buddhafield, surrounds him and enters into his surroundings.

As you people upon the verge of enlightenment walk around, as well as creating your own negative energy, you absorb likewise the negative energies of people and places. The symptoms of this are your illnesses, your negative emotions of anger and fear, your mood swings and your feelings of negativity.

The only difference between you people on the verge of enlightenment and a master is that a master knows how to transmute the energy he absorbs. And thus he is surrounded by peace and harmony instead of more and more pain and negativity..

He does not curse the darkness. Instead he lights a candle.

The only difference between you and a master is that a master knows how to teach you how to transmute this negative energy into harmonious spiritual energy, and thus place you on the path of peace and harmony, the path of enlightenment itself.

He only needs to teach you how to look at the negative energy. He only needs to teach you how to see it and deal with it. Because anything else is painful. And will cause you to do more painful things. Because this negative energy is Karma itself.

THUS THE KARMA CLEARING PROCESS, THE SOURCE OF ALL TRUE FORGIVENESS.

Spiritual masters are not affected by Karma and indeed have no Karma. Because they have the psychic ability to transmute all karma into pure spiritual energy. And this pure spiritual energy builds up in them and is added to by their masters when they die. So that they are rich because they have a large bank balance of Pure positive spiritual energy to spend on their students. This is called Positive karma.

Because the first stage is the access to purity by transmuting all the pain, which travels with us from lifetime to lifetime and grows more and more each lifetime because like calls to like, inside. To he that has, more will be given, said the Christ.

So we need to learn how to go against this law of the gaining of karma and negative energy and energy blockages by understanding and using the grounding of negative energies, the Third Initiation of Energy Enhancement.

And then the second part comes. Once we have transmuted this negativity inside to a certain degree, it then becomes possible to absorb more positive spiritual energy from the masters bank balance.

The Master can send it to you with a glance. We absorb energy from the Master. The Hindus call it the Uppadesa or the Initiation of the Master, and it is said to come by glance, by touch, or in silence.

Until we learn how to do it for ourselves from the Universe.

And once you start transmuting negative energy by using the techniques of Energy Enhancement every day. Once you start to access your inner purity… To he that has not, it will all be taken away, said the Christ. Yes, all the negativity will be taken away.

And this is the Real Initiation or in the Zen Phrase, Satori. And after many Satoris, you then eventually become in the Hindu Phrase, Twice Born, in the Sufi Phrase, a Made Man, You have made your Bones.

PEACEFUL.
HARMONIOUS.
ENLIGHTENED.

All with a glance.
All with learning how to open our eyes.
All with the gaining of Psychic Vision.

You are the people who have no other choice but to absorb negativity and die, or learn how to transmute it and learn how to Live. Because this knowledge is more important than life and death. It is for those of you who want to attain a Soul.

Start your Karma Cleaning Process by learning how to meditate and then speed it up with the advanced techniques of Energy Enhancement based upon ancient effective techniques of Taoism, The Kundalini Kriyas, The five elemental circulations of the Qi of Chinese Alchemical Taoism, The Guided Meditation of the Emerald tablet of Hermes Trismegistus encapsulated in VITRIOL and more..

Why can’t we meet in small groups?

2008-04-28T18:24:18Z

Imagine if you will the following sceen.

A small room, occupied by 3 to 10 people of various ages. There is a knock at the door. An empath--new to the group--enters and has this feeling they have never had before. They think, not say, “Oooooooh Myyyyyyy”. Several people speak, not think, “Oh My! Indeed!”. And then the whole room bursts into tears for at least 10 minutes. They are crying, not because they are sad, but because the all feel an incredible joy; they know another one has found a place to belong: a place to be understood: a place to learn and share.

Is this story so impossible? I don’t think so. We all live somewhere. Some of use live in the same general local. I did a search on the Internet of “Empath Support Group” and got ZERO hits. I know we can change that. Am I alone in my dream?

2008-04-28T03:00:39Z

yes there are many things going bad in the world, and Im sure that many of us feel them, a little to close to home,

But. MAN, can you feel the other side of it! so exciting out there! like we are starting to come together in a positive vision of the future, like somethings going to change - maybe the 'hundreth money' with this law of attraction, or the spirutal community reaching enough people etc, it feels like we are on the verge of things that will be catalysts to much greater futures!
some of what I have been feeling, and also seeing all over tribe, can be seen here:

am I crazy? this will be cross posted. Maybe slightly off topic.

2008-04-26T05:06:41Z

Hi, how are you all doing? I've graduated from my academia and moved back home. I just wanted to ask you all how you feel about spoon bending. I mean, I know empathy doesn't make me crazy, I've finally established that. I've progressed to psychokinetic energies. I'm wondering what the hell this stuff is? Why am I doing this? Why am I bending small, malleable metals? Why does it happen randomly? I mean, I know some people can do it. Some people pay money to learn this or train their whole lives. When I was younger, I used to think I could do this but I gave up. Why, because I didn't think it was possible, that's why. Now, a total skeptic even about the other things I can do, I still wonder at myself. I have given medium readings that have scared or at least impressed professionals. I can do readings for people here because of practice. Yes, I could use some. Please email me or post if you want to, because I'm very confused right now, headed for a nervous breakdown of sorts, and questioning my own sanity. Don't worry, I'm seeing my metaphysical friendly psychiatrist, he's Russian, so he knows what he's talking about. My therapist, also Russian, knows what she's talking about. I should call her. Later people.

Ok, I need some advice. How would you expain what being an empath means to someone who has never heard of such a thing? This person isn't familiar with anything New Age-y. And it's a man who isn't really in touch with his feelings.

Need help...

2008-04-12T09:54:45Z

On any normal circumstances, I wouldnt do this, but I feel the need to ask for some help from all the wonderful people in here. I dont normally believe in sending "healing" energy and so forth, but as I have always said, Im willing to give everything a shot.

I just recently lost my job. And if you read the post entitled "Advice to a 'new' Empath..." you'll see that this is something that adds to a BIG pile of living hell. (Not to mention I was supposed to be married 2 weeks ago, so Im SUPPOSED to be on my honeymoon...but that fell through)
Because of my current unemployment state, I am forced, for the most part, to remain at home. In a situation where everything is on edge, my father gives nothing but creepy and decietful energie...like theres something about him that I just cant trust, all I can feel from my mother is anguish, sorrow, and frustration, and my brothers nothing but Anger and resentment, whilst I personally feel no quams towards anyone in the family for everything, I find myself drained of any and all energy. Sleep is of no solice nor of any regenerating factor. Im always exhausted, and overly sensative to the feelings of the family...more than normal. I find Im actually snappy...which is NOT who I am.
My mom is starting to treat me like Deanna Troy of Star Trek TNG. (Yes...I was a HUGE trekkie Nerd as a kid) always asking me "What're they feeling? Whats your Spidey-Sense telling you? Whats going on with so-and-so?"
As much as I feel honored to be such a...guide...I feel hard pressed and pressured, and..bleh....

So...here is my Plea to all of you...HELP! lol
Send some energies my way. Shielding is to no avail to me, so all Im asking is some Empathic Support.

Like I said..I dont know if it would work...but Im wlling to give anything a shot.

the codependency test

2008-04-09T00:57:48Z

im working on a talk im giving this weekend,a nd ran across the following while i was doing research. interesting food for thought, especially as it may relate to empaths...

Codependency Test: Take this test to find out if you're helping people who need or needing people to help:
1. Do you feel demeaned, hurt or offended when someone you love tells you they don't need your help?
2. In the last year, has anyone resorted to arguing, begging or raising their voice to get you to stop trying to help them?
3. If you had plenty of money and your child, sibling or parent had an addiction to drinking, spending, gambling or drugs, and they asked you for money to help with their necessary expenses (food, rent, clothes, bills), would you give them the money?
4. When someone shares a life or relationship problem with you, but doesn't ask for help, do you offer help or advice, anyway?
5. When you survey your relationships, do you find yourself surrounded by mostly people who need you?
6. Do you ever find yourself making excuses for the needy people in your life?
7. If someone you love has a substance abuse, emotional, spending or gambling problem, do you avoid confronting them?
8. Do you measure your self-esteem by how much someone depends on you?
9. Do you ever remind people where they would be without you?

kinda lost...

2008-04-08T23:58:15Z

I posted earlier about a situation I have with a sort of ex. It got me thinking about my empathetic abilities. I don't know where to start with all the information out there. I don't know how to use it correctly and not use it correctly. I often find myself telling others what they're feeling without them bringing it out to me...and that's terrible and I know not to do it. But I've done it in the past. I don't know what to do or how to control this. I don't know how to separate my feelings from others feelings. How to let go and keep on.

I have a hard time with some things because I feel so strongly about stuff and I'll voice everything I'm feeling for all the world to see...and I think that may be damaging to self as well as others. I feel like there's this invisible boundry in the world telling you when to speak and when not too...I don't know when not too. If I can sense how someone is feeling...I bring it out and want to talk about it. But doing that invades everything about them and disrespects them and I need to know not do it. But when what they are feeling is affecting me, my life and my situation...how do I ignore it?

I want to find someone to mentor me..I feel like if I was able to control myself, my thoughts and my feelings, I might be able to control my life a bit better...does that make sense?

empath asking for help with relationship trouble

2008-04-08T04:51:12Z

It's been known to me my whole life that i'm empathic. I can always read what people are feeling. sometimes I can think about things and they'll happen, maybe I just have a lot of weird coincidences in my life. As a person I'm super sensitive to others as well as to myself and my feelings. they are always strong irregardless of what they are, anger, sadness or happiness. I'm having a hard time negotiating that in romantic relationships. I was with someone for a year and they have become very distant...though still occasionally asking to come over and go to sleep with me and wake up with me etc. this girl states that she doesn't want a relationship anymore and has begun something up with another person. She still asks to come over sometimes and I can feel her feelings for me, if that makes sense. I know she loves me but her words say otherwise and i'm having a hard time negotiating that in my life.

I don't have any information on being an empath and I don't have the time (work, grad school) to research and devote time to it. but I do know that this empathic stuff is messing up my head and my heart. this girl repeatedly does things that hurt me and I quickly get over it and am ready to be there for her because I can feel the intense pain inside of her. (she is the victim of an abusive relationship) I love her with my entire being, and have gone through a lot of emotional pain due to her treatment of me...but I reason it out because I know what shes feeling. people think i'm stupid to want to keep being there but it's unconditional love and I don't know how to let her go when I know some part of her wants to be here w/ me and another part is hurting so much.

I have never in my life developed such a strong connection with someone.

I hope this makes sense cause I've been feeling this way for months and have gotten no closer to a resolution. any imput is appreciated. no matter how critical. =D

ps being an empath is very hard on me and i wish i didn't have this ability most of the time. i wish I could be like eveyrone else and be as ignorant as they are because life is easier. I know you can should use your empathic abilities to help people, but I'm a social worker and devote my life to helping others, sometimes i just want to rest.

Help sorting out the vibes

2008-04-07T19:24:00Z

Hello,

I know this is a topic touched on before, but my vibes have been a little messed up as of late. I am fairly certain that my fiance and I are going to be splitting ways, however recently I have been uncertain if the vibes I am getting from him are because he wants to separate, or because he is depressed that while he is going to school that I am the one supporting us...we are good friends, but lately the vibes have been all wrong, and my migraines have been more frequent...has anyone else been picking up some very strong vibe from outside of those you know? I mean like a really strong sad vibe? And sorry I keep saying vibe, that is just how I interpret it.

Any assistance in this matter would help. I am feeling like I am having trouble reading a lot of people now, not just my fiance.
Any ideas? Thanks everyone. You have all always been very supportive of us all.

Be well.

empath with claircognizance

2008-04-03T22:01:19Z

for most of my life I have been empathic with claircognizance. A friend showed me how to use tarot cards to sort of call up my claircognizance instead of just waiting for it to happen, and for years that worked fairly reliably for me.

Recently I have noticed that while I am still fairly accurate, I no longer am able to feel my accuracy like I could before. I used to be able to feel throughout my entire body when something was true, now I have to rely on someone telling me I'm right, which is kind of disconcerting and leads to self-doubt. I have found that my empathic abilities have intensified and just one unpleasant encounter can throw off my whole day.
I wish it were the other way around, I'd much rather be less empathic and more claircognizant, it would be more useful.

I have a sleep disorder and chronic migraines and I suspect the medications I take may be related to these changes but I don't know what to do about it, or if meditation can help me past it. So far it hasn't.

2008-04-03T16:08:55Z

I'm an Empath. I've recently removed a passenger from my self, some emotion eating creature, had a few sessions wherein I've been reconnected to my higher self (disconnected when I was 6 mo), but since coming back to SF, I've been buffeted with washes of emotions, thoughts, feelings...

I'm trying to surround myself with a bubble of light, but it isn't holding.

How will I trust again? And how do I hold my head up high?

Destiny?

2008-03-28T08:31:06Z

HEY guys, this is gonna be a kinda far-out topic, but I hope it sparks something, and perhaps, amongst other empaths, I can get some new perspective (this forum has been SUCH a help in the past...).

ANYWAYS....

Normally, I am not one who believes in Destiny, but in consequence of actions.

HOWEVER...

Over the past...I dunno...year or so, Ive been getting this strange feeling that I am meant for something more. Something major. And with each passing day, the feeling seems to increase. I find myself more and more lately, able to relate to fictitional heroic characters.

My fave since I was 2 was Spiderman. He was always iconic and a role-model to me. There is just always a sense of someone who has an AMAZING gift, and it burdens him. He tries to do whats right, but he deals with the very real and human struggle of balancing selflessness and selfishness. Being a superhero/college student/trying to fall in love/ect....aint no easy task. (Sound familiar to any of us?)

I even got his "Spidey" logo (the one on his chest) tattoo'd on my back as a reminder of that constant struggle.

(I often tell my mom..who knows of my gift..that "My Spidey Sense is Tingling" when I can sense something is wrong. lol)

ANYWAYS...long story short...lately, that feeling has gotten stronger and stronger and stronger. I feel the tension, the 'eye-of-the-storm'. I feel like I need to be prepared physically, emotionally, and spiritually, because I'm going to be needed...and soon...VERY soon.

Im not married, Im finished college, working as an animator, things generally are where they should be, so...Im confused, and sometimes perplexed to the point of frustration at this constant, growing, nagging feeling.

Anyone else ever get that? Anyone have any theories? Ideas? Advice?

Beyond Empathy!?.....

2008-03-26T11:26:17Z

Beyond Empathy

....i guess i'm learning this lesson again, the one showing me how different we are from each other, how individual! For some reason i have a really hard time with this one, ever since i was little i thought everybody perceives this world the way i do....yet it's not true! Here in this tribe it's even worse to realize that, cause when you get here at first you think "oh nice, everybody understands me, yepee" and then as you start peeling away he layers of this onion, you see the first little differences and as you move towards the core, the differences get bigger and bigger and again you say to yourself "f***, here i don't fit in either"! I guess only one of our traits is empathy and maybe here that's all that connects us! I didn't mean to hurt or harm with anything i said here(recent events are not exclusive on that matter) but at the same time i can't help, but be ME with all I perceive, every bit of info i pick up on...and i like to be honest about it....it seems i get more info than others here, maybe not more but different somehow, beyond empathy perhaps! I'm really not sure what it is, but i'm not willing to feel bad over myself, not here, not anywhere! And this isn't about assumptions or my ego ;)...just for the record!

The reason I'm writing this in the first place.....there are people here in this tribe that have helped me so much, there input was/is priceless....and even though i will miss their wisdom, it's time for me to move on, spread my wings and fly ;)

Whether you believe it or not,
I love You ALL
Best Wishes
Sue

Sleep Paralysis

2008-03-24T03:36:26Z

Out of curiosity, how many of you experience sleep paralysis? My theory is that it tends to be more common in "sensitive" people. I am mildly telepathic and deeply empathic and have had these experiences since I was around 11 years old. They've recently been happening more frequently. I think I've read just about all I can find on the topic and I'm still curious and left wondering, who is affected by this, why, and for those of you who specifically experience the "hypnagogic hallucinations" with it, who are these people visiting us? Demons, aliens, hags, or do you agree that we are conjuring up whoever they are from our own imaginations?

I am aware of the way sleep paralysis works, and the scientific theories associated, and I consider myself quite a logical and rational person, but I don't buy that we're all having "mass hallucinations". The experiences reported are far too similar as far as what is seen, heard and experienced for me to accept this answer.

Thanks for any feedback!

Seperating and defining YOURSELF!

2008-03-22T23:37:16Z

Hi after reading a few and post replies I thought maybe I should post this........

It seems the hardest thing of all is to seperate ourselves but this is VITAL because we often loose our sense of idenetity, especially in relationships (which can be the hardest thing for us).

The thing is I was told emphatically by my teacher specifically dealing with empath and clairsentients, that, Our integrety about who we 'really are' is of the utmost importance.

That yes you can pick up and absorb others pain But you dont have to! Infact, it is not yours to take on board and it is not yours to heal!!!

But the most important thing is to GET YOURSELF RIGHT! If you meditate and get your own energy in balance IT WILL BE A HEALING FORCE. Without absorbing others emotional states and loosing your own identity.

If you sand strong in your own energy and get yourself balanced then anyone you come into contact with will begin to vibrate into a more balnced state - that is right for them!

By trying to heal it for them - this is too much love - because it ends up with no-one in balance, or others going off and feel better while you are left depleted and drained and having to transmutate all the neg energy. Yes you can do it and this is a great ability.

BUT if you remain strong - centred - balanced - and with positive energy you can and will achieve much more.

After all if you go into other peoples energy and absorb it and give them your energy or allow them to take it - Are they using it for positive means? You are interfering with thier free will for instance?!

True Healing is Being in a state of Positive Balance and your very presence will help others top come into their own balance and to learn what they need to learn, try reading "Power V Force". Which states that 1 being at Avatar Level has power of 1000 or more and this power has the ab ility to cancel out 70 million individuals at below 200 (those in negativity)

1 person who is 'inspiring and hopeful' cancels out 90, 000 individuals at lower neg vibration!!!!!!

I believe we have a bigger duty than to get caught up in dramas - which we do- maybe because of our compassion etc. But we are mis-using our energy, and often in my experience - those people who took all that energy and from others too go on and are just the same. If we try to take it on our selves we may do so for all the best reasons in the world, But in truth wecan do really great things for many more people.

Thjis is not to say Dont Help. But to manage our energy 1st before we try and be oh so help[ful to everyone else!

We are unhealed healers making a botch job, mostly. Myself included. My teacher - bless her name, said if you get yourself right and get your energy right you wont know yourself and you will begin to realse just how powerful you really are!

Grounding your enrgy to mother earth Base chakra Red. Gives you strength power and helps your very survival, and define who you are.

Closing down the 3rd Chakra Solar Plexus Yellow make it 5cm across Yes Close it down to 5cms across.

How, breath become quiet breath in 4 - hold 4 breath out 4 be empty for 4, works well!

then Image-in your solar plexus where the ribs meet how big is it? it should be bright yellow sunshine
if it is big and open your will absorb all the rub bish in the world what the kabbal;a calls empty shells the neg energy of others. The chinese call it "the world is too much with you" This chakra is where you absorb. Anyway what are you doing in other peoples energy?

Yes it is a gift but it needs skill and understanding to use it. We dont often know how to use this gift. But we must learn how and when to be interfering.

By grounding our energy and getting strength from the earth - and closing off solar plecxus so we do not just suck up negitivity from everywhere - we then must have boundaries.

Often we have so much love and energy we dont feel this need OR our boundaries were Broken when young through abuse.

Place around your aura and Electric Bl;ue light this will Filter not block negative energy.

I promise you if you ground yourself and follow this advice you Will notice the difference and take control of your own energy, Your will not block or stopo being a highly sensitive person or loose skills but you will take responsibility for this gift. ANd not allow your own ego to be misguiding and you will be able to handle all those situations better and better.

It takes practice and effort, but it is so worth it and you can become who you truly are a highly sensitive being and a healing force.

Big love to all

Fear And Desire

2008-03-20T15:08:14Z

Words of Wisdom .............. Nourish Your Fear. Fear and desire are not opposites; they are the same. When I don't want to admit to myself what I want, I turn my desire into a fear so I can hold it close and keep it at a distance at the same time. What would your life be like if your fears came true ? ..... Welcome these fears; they bring memories. Memories of childhood, memories of other lives. Often these memories find easiest access to your consciousness through fear. If you reject your fear, it will immobilize you, shorten your breath, leave you speechless, and dim your full delight in life. Approach with curiosity; let your fear bring you gifts of self-awareness. (Note how dilated your pupils become in fear: anxious eyes take in everything.) Hold my hand. Say " I am afraid." And take a step forward .............. excerpt from Susun S. Weed .. Menopausal Years -- The Wise Woman Way

Energy

2008-03-18T19:47:29Z

Sunday I had an interesting experience on the freeway, of all places. The short version is that before I saw him/her, I FELT the hostile and aggressive energy of a police officer who was just pulling onto the road on the other side of the freeway, traveling in the other direction. FAST. It was the energy alert that caused me to look and investigate WTF was going on - otherwise I would have never seen this occur.

LOVE IT.

Namaste All! Need a little help please.....

2008-03-14T21:36:27Z

A small group of us here in Oregon have started this amazing healing drum circle, to heal ourselves, and the Earth.
Basically what we are doing is Shamanic drumming and a journey at the same time. It's an amazing experience that we all travel through together and individually. We have raised enormous amounts of energy for such a small group, and we thought, "Hey! If we can do this, imagine what one million people could do!" This is where I humbly ask for everyone's assistance :-)

We would like to organize a worldwide (if that's possible) drum circle. We feel that the Summer Solstice would give us enough time to put something together. No one has to travel, however we are encouraging everyone to do the drumming and journeying outside (absolutely not required). It would be wonderful if we could get people involved from everywhere, as our planet and our species is in dire need of help.
This is also something we plan on doing every year.
All we are asking is that you pass it on. Save the date and tell everyone you know.

I have done some research of my own accord, and discovered (okay, I am pretty new to all of these experiences that I am having here) that our Mother Earth has her own Chakra's! See link for info and map below........
And the point of that is.....that if we focused our energies into those chakra's and opening them up, get them flowing again, we can help heal this planet. Much cleansing will be done on Mother's part, but I know we can bring back balance.

It is very frustrating knowing that our precious Earth is in the hands of those who don't respect, don't care, or have no intrest in healing her. We are doing everything we can to open minds, enlighten spirits, and lead the way to a new Earth.
We hope that you will join us on this journey :-)

Hi all, I'm new

2008-03-14T07:30:43Z

First off, hello to all of you! =)

I am very new to not only this site and tribe, but to all this new information I have been "drawn" to. It started off with a casual talk with my father, who lives states away from me. He claims to be pagan and talked to me a bit about it. I asked questions and some how mind reading came up in the conversation. Telling me he had a friend that did it all the time, and I admit, I was a little objective to the thought, because I have never experienced or knew anyone that could do such a thing. All I knew is that my current GF had an Ex, who's mom could and did so to her on several occasions years ago. I asked questions and they swore to me that it was very real. So it peaked my interest and I researched it to find maybe some scientific "evidence" or other people that can read minds or whatever I could find that is thought to be "out of the norm." I researched on how to teach yourself to mind read, telepathy, telekinesis, NLP, OOBE, everything. When I looked up one thing, I found other skills of the mind and started to try and find things on those.

The more I looked for info on these, I found myself so intrigued by it, that I just can't stop trying to find things on them. On fact, that is how I stumbled on this site, and Paul's page. These things I find info on, I try. I want to develop these skills. For now, I see no progress, but hope to find someday that I will.

So I want to ask you all, were you born with these skills you possess, or was it simply something that you found interesting, like me, and practiced some techniques to broaden your skills. Where ever I read, it talks about meditation, lots of it. So that has been something I am working on and continue to do everyday. I find it very relaxing and fulfilling. But I do not know if to clear my mind or to let it wonder to where ever it wants to just in a sense, enjoy the show. If that makes sense. I do both right now, not knowing what to do.

So I guess I am asking for a little bit of guidance. What do you guys think?

Wanting attention?

2008-03-13T17:59:43Z

As an Empath, I know that we deal with a lot of people who really need help and need someone to talk to and help them work through life challenges, but do you ever feel like people have these emotional traumas because they want to be paid attention to? What I mean to say is that when someone is really in need of an Empath and a shoulder, I'm more than willing to help them! But, I get very frustrated with people who create drama in thier own lives so they have something else to complain about so they get attention. I have a couple aquaintances like this and while I feel like I should genuinely help someone who needs it, I get extremely frustrated with the "oh-poor-me-my-life-is-so-screwed-up" types. Does anyone else deal with this or am I just being insensitive?

empathy and unconditional love

2008-03-12T22:53:12Z

...do you guys think being empathic makes it easier to love truly unconditional? i'm stll going back and forth in my mind about this....as sometimes you can pick up pretty harsh things, yet i believe we can go beyond this, tune into the origin of the harshness and once we understand why this persons does whatever they do, compassion kicks in, enabeling us to love unconditional!

This thought originated out of a little rant i posted yesterday=):

>>>I don't get it....the conditioning of unconditional love!

everybody talks about unconditional love, but then they condition it in so many ways......saying this person is "bad" therefore we can't tolerate them....how is that unconditional? and if it only applies to those who you pick out of the crowd how is that unconditional?...... many believe in Jesus and some talk about the new christ conciousness, did Jesus call anybody a "bad" person? NO! he surrendered to the bigger picture, he trusted & prayed, he didn't judge!.......and then there are those the like to fight in order to create peace, cause the believe there truth is better than the others...oh i want to scream out loud.....so many conditions, so many rules....no rules will ever make it right for everybody! i believe people need to learn how to feel! feel awareness, once they are there they know how to make decision for the benefit of all, rather than the benefit of one.....
am i really the only one struggeling with this? does noone else see that this is a half ... moral?
I love You!
Sue
P.s.:sorry for the rant but this had to come out! <<<

I have this friend...

2008-03-10T16:49:05Z

...who is operating on a very scientific, logical approach to things, but who, nevertheless, says that he distinctly feels as though something "big" is coming, around October or November. He cannot pinoint what it is, but feels as though it will affect the collective consciousness - all of us and every sentient being. Anyone else have any distinct urges of this nature?

The most surprising songs be sung."

'THE GATHERING' by Sitting Bull

It is very important that as many people as possible, in different places, should take part in the Gathering. Decide where and when and how to gather. Your participation is needed.

This is the beginning of the break we are all waiting for; for you all on Earth and ourselves out here. This is the beginning of the turn around. We have waited so long for the change. It is time. This is the beginning of the end of the old ways; the turning of the tide.

State what you believe is true. Courage is the ability to go beyond the familiar. Exchange the information and hopes you have. Always in the world, a change starts with a few people. These few speak the feelings and thoughts of a multitude. They speak the heart of humanity's soul.

The people and ETs who will come together shall ring in a return, a turn around. There will come a flow on Earth which will burst the dark energies surrounding you and your planet. That which you believe is true must be stated. The truth is the key.

May strength and vision be yours as you establish the new. Follow your hearts. Let your inner light be your guide. Realise the beauty and greatness you have within yourself and step ahead. This is the time so many have waited so long for. Never doubt it has started.

The young of all nations are looking for a new direction. It is time to light a beacon to show the way for all humanity. Let your feelings, thoughts and beliefs be your guiding light. The power of the moment. The wishes of the people. The good times ahead.

It is time for the gathering.

'The Gathering' by Matthew

Last night I had a gathering for all my departed friends
I asked Jim Morrison where he'd been
He just laughed and smiled,
Spoke of what he'd seen

He said "I've been to the end of the rainbow"
He said "I've seen supernovae burst"
But before I could ask a question,
He said "Let me finish first"

He said "I have something to tell you",
This really is the MASTER KEY
ONLY! ONLY LOVE!
Will set this planet free

He then spoke ok Atlantis,
And what has come to pass
In an alien war of genocide,
He and his friends escaped the blast

* * *
Now these ones are returning,
They see our hearts are burning
The Universe is yearning,
For us to break on through

Well now you see here is my request,
The letter to your heart
Will you join us now,
Let the healing start

First there came THE question,
Then I found THE door
Now I have come through it,
A stronger man for sure

I will ask you the same question,
I can lead you to this door
If you will walk through it,
You will be Wiser than before

Yes now I have this question to put to you
Are you going to resist,
Will you break on through?
Will you break on through?

I am waiting for you...

The Gathering

Empaths Make Better Batteries?

2008-03-06T15:17:16Z

I've noticed that a higher percentage of Empaths tend to end up in relationships (whether its friendship or romance) with partners who are extremely emotionally demanding and draining. I've been an Empath my whole life and before I met my husband I seemed to attract very emotionally unbalanced or demanding people as mates. It was a recurring trend that I noticed all through my teen years and into my early twenties but what really made it stand out to me was the last relationship I was in before my husband.

I dated/lived with a guy for nearly three years and over those years we broke up six times and it was always HIM coming back to me when we broke up. For a while I thought that maybe I just hadn't given him enough credit and that he really DID love and care about me but after we finally split for GOOD I looked back on it with a slightly different perspective.

It's well known that Empaths have a different sort of energy than most people and as a general rule (though not always) tend to be a great deal more patient, sympathetic, and nurturing. It had also occured to me that there is a TYPE of person (I call them psi-vamps) who feed on that energy and almost NEED it to survive. The average person has plenty of emotional energy that these psi-vamps (again, not a technical term) can feed on but an Empath has a LOT more (some Empaths three and four times more) than a non-sensitive person.

I noticed that during the times that my X- boyfriend and I were apart, he went through a physical change. He looked more tired, haggard, unkept, and exhausted than he did when we were together. His energy level was extremely low when I would see him again but after a few days of being around me, he showed serious improvement while I felt very diminished. After a while the energy levels between us would equal out but whenever I was away for very long he appeared to exhibit classical "withdrawl" symptoms that people mostly associate with withdrawl from a drug.

After I thought of this with a clear conscious I mentally went back through my previous relationships and examined my memories. During this process I noted that most of the men I had dated had almost the same behavior and "symptoms" that I'd noticed in my most recent X-boyfriend.

So here's my question, have any of you noticed this sort of physical behavior or changes in x-friends/lovers etc? Do Empaths really make the best batteries for those people that feed on emotional energy?

questions, i have questions. and yes, i'm new...sorta...

2008-03-03T05:12:31Z

I don't know where or how to start this, so I'll just blurt and meander here, hopefully you who read this will be able to follow along.

I've known about this empath energy in me for some time, it was very prevalent when I was younger. Some in my family noticed, told me to work with it and kept me guarded well to, I guess, avoid dangers. Others dismissed me as just being weird. After a while, it was too much to bear and I blocked it for many years, and have been in the "unfeeling" mode for decades. Very cold and closed you could say I was, yet, did my best to act like a normal human...being kind, not causing trouble or getting in other's way and still trying to accomplish things that I set out to do. Usually with success, sometimes not. I would get involved in relationships, most with not the best results, and sometimes I would run in fear that I would ruin the other person's life. So for the past bunch of years, I have stayed away from that as well. Cold, yet personable to others that I cross paths with. I deal with things with sharp wit and humor - and thats how I muddle through.

Recently I became involved with someone - very intelligent, open-minded, a free-spirit and perceptive to some of this. Suddenly the energy in me became unlocked after all this time. I've seen how others here describe feelings in colors (I have tried to describe how I feel to others in colors, but they don't understand.) I've been getting literally WAVES upon waves of input from all directions to the point of distraction, it interferes with my work and just getting though any day. Most of this energy is dark and bad that is coming in, and I don't exactly know how to deal with this. Some of the bad deals with the person that I have become involved with. A lot of it is like crowds shouting unintelligible things at me, making it hard to figure out what direction it's coming from or why it's coming in such massive amounts. At this moment it is beginning to increase in intensity as I am beginning to get shaky as I type this...so I will have to stop for now and try to get on with my day.

If I can get a break later, I will type more. I don't know too many people in my various situations that I can discuss this with so I decided to start here. My mother knows about all this, but she's not near where I can go and have a serious face to face with her; the other person who had a clue has long ago left the planet.

Heavy sigh... until later... marching on
