ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, What Is Me?

Moi — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 06:33:31 GMT

Lately I avoid crowds. The emotional static I feel is just so damned uncomfortable to be around.
And I ponder more of thoughts I've pondered before.
Is my nervousness me, or am I feeling something or someone else out there?
Same for depression. I consider mild depression my normal.
When I can't concentrate or sit still, is that a sort of emotional overload from the emotional static?

Instructors I respect tell me I can discipline myself around these problems but, I am not a discipline type person..

Should I take more responsibility for endogenous creation of these effects?

I find the life of an agoraphobic, recluse works best for me.

At there best, my gifts involve health issues in other people and I sometimes use the handle, Ethereal Physician.

C'est Moi

The word Empath, how did it come to your mind and understanding

David — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:17:07 GMT

The word Empath, how did it come to your mind and understanding. We had danced with this somewhat before here, but I just posted this on claircognizant tribe, on a on going tread and felt it appropriate to start a thread here on it as well. And it made me realize, I had never asked this before, even though it has been floating around in the back of my mind for some time.

How did it first get started, when did it first show up, I know how it came for me, it came to me 10 years ago or so from within, not from the physical world.

Some of us seem more connected then others on a unseen level. As I began to discover who I was and what my abilities were 20 years ago, I tried to put a name to it, that felt right for me. The term HSP did not last long, then Intuitive, that one seemed somewhat ok, Sensitive seemed better, but still did not feel completely right.

I did a deep search years ago and found what most fit for me, was Empath, With the definition, that it was someone who felt others emotions as their own and being sensitive to other energies as etc as well. I could find no definition for how I wanted to use it, to fit me, so I make up my own, and now look at it today. I guess Troy the Councilor, in Star Treks Next Generation had some feed into this process, and especially her brother or cousin who could not turn off his receiver like most of their race could.

Every couple years I would look to find anyone using Empath in that way, but never did. Somewhat over a year ago, I did another search and found the word Empath being used widely on the Internet as I had decided to use it years ago myself. It was nice it happened, but then I wondered how did it happen. It came to me, that Sensitive Empaths and etc most be connected on a subconscious level for everyone to start using the word a like, and come to a common acceptance and understanding.

I find that thought and spirit go out from us and we can pick it up as well, not only from God, but from each other it seem. Maybe at a spiritual energy level, we are connected more like the Internet then I had previously ever conceived before.

Does any one know how or who started using the Word Empath to mean, someone who feels others emotions as their own.

Favorite quotes that inspire peaceful co-existence.

Stan — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:09:44 GMT

I am collecting quotes for a musical experiment. The experiment is going to consist of gathering the quotes that most inspire humanity to peacefully co-exist, and that also promote us to come together and live in harmony. In addition I am also gathering quotes that offer real meaningful solutions to troubles both physical, spiritual, and societal.

My intent is to take the best quotations and translate them word by word into musical notes. I will then begin to put together a symphony consisting of the top voted quotations that sound the most amazing. Once that is completed I will ask many people to listen to both the symphony and the literary translation that it derived from. I will also ask them if they liked the song and if they have any constructive criticisms, and or suggestions that would add to the continuing perfection of the symphony.

If we all begin to live our lives in a mutually beneficial groove we will all be creating a state of mind that enhances the quality of life for anyone who listens to it. The meaningful purpose of this experiment is to co-create a song that everyone will enjoy subconsciously tuning themselves into.

I need your help. This is not something that can be done by one person. I have learned that doing this on my own can create beautiful music that tunes me into manifesting things, situations, and aspirations into being. But it also limits the true potential of what this form of literary musical translation can do. I know I do not have all the answers to all of the modern day problems that humanity faces, but I know that we as a human race do. We need to come together and create a song that we can all enjoy tuning into. If we do things, situations, and aspirations will begin to manifest for anyone who listens and tunes into it, because they will understand its true musical and literal meanings with all the benefits it implies.

If you would like to contribute to this musical experiment please respond by posting your favorite quotes that you feel will most benefit and inspire humanity to wake up and realize who we are, and what we all are truly capable of becoming.

something weird this morning?

Rachel — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 03:24:58 GMT

So, I was feeling VERY down this morning, and I attributed it to being on break from classes (it always seems to happen)...then my boyfriend was saying he felt this really weird incredible feeling of loss this morning, like when a character in a book dies. For no reason. He doesn't get random depression like me, so I was wondering if he picked up on my stuff, or if somewhere a planet imploded...or what! Any thoughts?

Science?

"Spidey" — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:21:06 GMT

Has anyone come across any articles or whatnot concerning scientific research into the abilities of an Empath? Brainscans, experiments, and so forth?
I would love to add some "concrete" evidence to my blog to help all the skeptics out there understand that this is a very real phenomena.
I mean, we have instruments to find ghost activity...so Im curious if there is anything like that out there for us?

If so, PLEASE let me know..and link here!

What Happens When You Get Angry?

Azazeal — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 07:21:33 GMT

I was wondering about something. Empaths are often complaining about picking up the feelings and issues of people around. I was wondering, what happens when empaths get angry. Do we project anger when we get angry. If so, it's very likely that people can feel the anger that we may project. If that's true, what happens when you boil over with anger?

call for healers, burningman 2009

soulfriend — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:37:56 GMT

My dear brothers and sisters,

My name is Soulfriend and I am calling together the healing domes for the Redlightning community in Black Rock CIty, Nevada. (www.redlightning.org)

The healing council has formed and our vision is materializing. This message is for you who are called to hold space with us. To be of service to the immediate community Redlightning, as well as to the community of BRC and beyond.

Are you interested in co-creating and activating a harmonic resonance for vitality, health, life and transformational work? Are you who we are dreaming in, to collectively hold down this space on the playa?

The intention is to offer a variety of healing modalities ie: DNA activations, oracles, light workers, massage, healing touch, yoga, sound healing… you name it, to those going through their processes within the vibrations of the divine feminine and sacred masculine, uniting at the vesica piscis.

We will be working out of two domes within the Redlightning. The first will be a facilitated healing space with tables for active process with a center altar for prayer and connecting to the vortex of the 7th dimension. The second dome will be a community wellness sanctuary for group work ie: breath work, sound healing, guided meditation, talks on blood mysteries... Between workshops, it will be a contemplative/retreat space for people to meditate or rest and receive the vibrations that we as a collective activate and hold throughout the week.

We will also be working in tandem with the tender-hart guardians and invite you to consider offering your services as a guardian of the healing domes and the healers as well.

Please contact Gabriel (gabesho@hotmail.com) if you have interest in the following:

*Serving on the council

*Participating as a healer offering one or more 4 hour shifts (I will need a short bio from you)

*Offering workshops

*Have any questions / offerings

*Participating as a guardian of the domes and healers

If we all bring our gifts to this process, fully offering who we are, it will be effortless and transformational for all involved, reaching far into the future and into the world.

I look forward to speaking with you, knowing you and your gifts and playing in the light.

Namaste,

Soulfriend

New Group for Indigo Children and Adults

Zen — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 02:22:51 GMT

There is a new Indigo group on PeopleString. PeopleString is a new concept in social networking where 70% of the ad revenues that FB, MySpace, and other social networks keep for themselves, gets paid back to the users. I won't be at all surprised if this thing really takes off, considering it is in everyones own self interest. Imagine if you will, Win-Win as a business concept. Sounds right up our alley. Best part is it doesn't COST anything to get a cut of the action. There is nothing to sell. Just offer the free services to your friends so that they can profit from it too. Heck MySpace is already on the way out. PeopleString is the NEW way to connect.

Just follow the link to sign up for your free account, then look for "Indigos on PeopleString" in the social networks "Groups" section

Connecting with people's sadness....

aschleigh — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 21:01:46 GMT

I work as a therapist and I am empathetic. I do this at work and with people in general, I seem to connect with there deep sadness. ( I also connect with there joy but that's not a problem per say) . The more I see myself as a healer It makes more sense that I see this sadness, the place that needs healing in them. It connects to the places in me that need healing . Sometimes I get overwhelmed with a person's sadness. And then I have to be ultra focused on the joy and already healed places to counterbalance it. But sometimes I just see the sadness. I see how much healing the human race needs and how much can I do?
I also wonder why a lot of people don't see it ( whether it's a person right in front of us or Palestinians or Darfurians or mothers or children) . There is a deep sadness to being human. I have healed enough of it in myself to help others but I want to do more.
( I also may be dealing with a new layer of sadness becoming visible to me in myself ) Does it end? Do we ever get to the root of it and feel only joy?
I want to connect deeply with people and yet the pain is sometimes more than I can safely take. And I feel such responsibility to see the beauty and joy , to keep that connection going too.
What can we do as healers, to feel and be connected and know that sadness is there and yet be ok with it? How can I help heal people most effectively?

Rachel — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 20:29:29 GMT

I don't know where else to ask advice, because this is the most likely place I could think of for people who have higher ethical standards than average.
I have cheated. Emotionally. I have recently come to face this fact, in the flesh, seeing him with his girlfriend. We have declared love, adoration, everything you could do without touching each other.
So I had to ask (either here or the INFJ board)...is there something I should do? Obviously I have stopped the cycle, we are not talking. I would wonder if I should tell the girlfriend - but I did once before, was reamed out, and she obviously trusted him again anyway. Now that I have met her in person, there is no way to get myself out of culpability...but it will do no good to tell her.
Anything else I should do? Or simply live with it? I am not in a relationship, and won't be until I'm straightened out enough to be sure this will not happen again (I broke up with my ex - and told him the truth - a long time ago, honestly wanting to be with this guy...he did not have the same idea).

Celibacy

Rachel — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:52:03 GMT

I've decided to be celibate for an indeterminate period of time...essentially until I can be with THE right person. Anything less just feels like a terrible experience and not worth it.
That said, I am missing contact...not even sexual, I am okay with that, just loving contact. What can I do to satiate that need, so that I don't feel deprived? Is there such a thing as a Friend with Cuddle Benefits?? People have said yoga helps, but my problem isn't really redirecting the sexual energy. Any other suggestions?

Codepency and Empathy, The Hardest Habit to Unlearn?

Sekhmet — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:58:54 GMT

Okay folks, I want to hear a frank discussion on Codependency.

I think we need our own groups. Without blatantly f-ing up certain things, I joined groups trying to express how my brain works without saying "empathy is a psychic faculty" directly.

Believe me, I can package certain things in certain ways. Its just harder when I desperately want to find out the way codependency works in an empath versus a muggle!

It harkens back to my first post on here about how I wanted to know what a muggle was.

Anyway some NTs would ask if being empathic is like being Counselor Troi.
As far as we know, did she show a codependent personality trait or two on Star Trek: TNG or was it in First Contact when she was put in an odd position of having to get drunk with Zefram Cochrane for some need to extract information from him?

I have to wonder if codependent tendencies without referring to certain websites, but instead finding definitions on other websites, is prevalent or even epidemic amongst us. If so, how to manage a group separate from CODA?

They have some rules against media dabblings. The Internet may or may not count so I don't want to flub and say anything confidential. I think we should start our own groups though, that much I can say. I tried to explain who I was in a holistic fashion. Instead, I get told I'm ADD, an its shoved down my throat by some idiot who has no idea what he's talking about even though he's done research for himself. I was feeling ill, so I said that I didn't need to take his crap, thanks and walked out. Many groups have social meetings after.

It must be a codependent mirror mirror on the wall situation for people like us. Then you're feeling someone's codependency, and even if you've coped on your own you could slip based on feeling it from the other & wanting to help them despite possibly crossing a boundary you don't know about? This is my first instinct based on knowing what codependency is for those who aren't as wired as we are.

Encourage Health Care Reform

Hey there,

I just sent a quick message to my Representative in Congress to vote "yes" on health care bill H.R. 3200, "America's Affordable Health Choices Act," this week.

For the past couple of weeks, our Representatives in Congress have been bombarded by a multi-million dollar campaign from the opposition. Our voices - voices from people who are actually dealing with the broken health care system - are needed NOW.

We need the political courage to get this done. Join me in telling Members of Congress to put the people of our state before special interests in Washington, DC.

How to tell if you are empathic

keithalanhamilton — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 11:51:19 GMT

How to tell if you are empathic http://www.helium.com/items/544074-how-to-tell-if-you-are-empathic

One of the better articles I've found on this subject. :o)

...................................................................................................................

About me: Keith Alan Hamilton

I was born with an empathic sensitivity; I call it fondly My Abnormalities Normality because its effect upon me seems normal to me. Here is an excerpt from my web site talking about it: http://www.keithalanhamilton.com/

“As a child, I naturally had a felt sense of being intuitively and emotively psychic or having an empathic sensitivity. This sensitivity heightened in me a very deep felt sense both inwardly and outwardly as to my spiritual, mental, emotional and physical attachment to planet earth and the rest of Nature. Since childhood I've experienced psychically an intuitively emotive felt sense as to premonitions about a great struggle for survival as related to potential changes within Nature as a whole system and its planetary sub-system called earth. These kind of lived experiences have also brought forth inside me intuitively, a spiritually emotive felt sense of being an interrelated, interconnected and interdependent individual portion of all Nature without experiencing any kind of self doubt about it at all. However, my intelligent progression within this struggle for self discovery through the effort of thinking and feeling psychically has not been an easy one for me over the years. Even though the effect of My Abnormalities Normality upon me may bring forth intelligently progressive and transitionally perceptive insights, it has other effects upon me. It also greatly impedes what I love to do most, expressing My Words of Thought in the form of writing.

Even if not fully understanding why at the time, I quickly learned as a youth that my life experience within Nature was not the norm when compared to others. At least that is how it seemed to me back then regarding My Abnormalities Normality. Not unlike others with similar youth experiences as to mine I have talked to since my youth. I learned from the expression of my experiences to others by their reaction to my seemingly abnormal life, it might be best to keep my experiences to my self by not mentioning them. Additionally, overtime my experiences became overshadowed by the priority of having to live a life by working and raising a family. Although within the silence of my many periods of being alone in Nature, I continued with my seemingly odd psychic experiences about Nature to be inspired mystically, both intuitively and emotively by the sheer wonder of it all.

It took me over forty years of my life to finally gain enough confidence to reveal my innermost feelings and expressions without my inhibitions preventing me from doing so. Mainly because my experiences in life seem to be on the fringe as to reality within Nature that others may not be normally accustom too. And because of this, it's extremely hard for me to interpret coherently through words to others what I have experienced by means of My Abnormalities Normality.”

How many feel more pain, have redundant nerves, as a Empath or Sensitive

David — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:24:35 GMT

How many feel more pain, as a Empath or Sensitive. I was reminded of this, as I had to have some minor dental work done again. Pain killers shots don't seem to shut down the nerve. At times it takes 7 times the amount of pain killers to block a nerve in my jaw. I remember the same thing happened when they went in for a bone marrow biopsy.

It is really a pain, really when the dentist cannot shut off the pain, when he tries to work on my teeth.

The Dentist is wondering and me too, if there is not some kind of redundant nerve flow, more then one nerve flowing to the same area or areas.

I also have the extra 6 lumbar vertebrae in my back, and my neck cervical vertebra's are longer then usual.

So high IQ, hypersensitive, Empathic, and what ??? Anyone else have any of these conditions? Do it all tie into one package, or are they separated inherited from being a Sensitive/Empath?

Brain stuck

David — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 09:10:54 GMT

Brain stuck, Was not sure how to describe it. Not sure if it is part of being a Sensitive and a Empath, or just some other inherited malfunction not related, my father mentioned to me, he had the same problem at times. Is this something common to everyone or not?

Say you are working on your car or etc and you realize you need a tool, you don't have at hand, but you have one some place else or need to go buy one; which would make the job easier and greatly lesson time to completion. Instead you get locked in, and keep thinking I need to stick with, to save time and get done sooner, but you really know that is not the case, But instead of breaking away from the project, you continue in futility to try to do the job without what you need, what every it is. It seems like you are trap[ed in a mental time loop, and and find it hard to break away. It takes a lot of effort to do so, and many times you can't, until you hurt yourself trying to do it without what you need, of you quite from fatigue and or frustration. Maybe this is just part of a mild Obsessive compulsive thing that some Empaths and Sensitive have.

Why we "overreact"

malene — Thu, 21 May 2009 07:57:11 GMT

I think, most of us have been accused of overreacting towards situations and relationships, and we blame it on the high sensitivity, that comes with the ability. But I have thought about another explanation, which makes more sense to me any way. The full explanation can be found here: http://skeptic.dk/?p=40 (and I have linked to the specific post, so nobody should be exposed to the sometimes ehm.. expressive words I use)

I will try to give a perspective here anyway.

For me, it is so very important not to have clutter in my emotions. When I have clutter, I don't know how I feel about something, and when I can't put words to my feelings, I very easily risk being caught up in other peoples emotions. So emotional clutter needs to be sorted out. And it really doesn't matter how seemingly insignificant the clutter is, it just have to be sorted out.

To other people, this comes off as being an "overreaction", but in reality, it is just a normal reaction to an abnormal way of living.

How many Sensitive Empaths, have these situations ?

David — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 17:26:27 GMT

How many Sensitive Empaths, have these situations ?

Feel others emotions as their own, hard to distinguish many times.
Have dietary restriction because of intolerance to foods like meat/flesh, dairy, wheat and similar grains, chocolate, unnatural man made sugars, food additives, and chemicals in general as far as that goes.

Because of these things and just how we are wired, prone to neurological problems like over fearfulness, dyslexia, ADHD and etc, obsessive compulsive behavior, depression, anxiety, and etc stress overload. Easily over stimulated by smells, light, sound, too many people, emotional aggressive people and etc. Easily over sexually stimulated, by how you are wired physically, but how others constantly send out mental, emotional, and pheromone signals.

How many are high IQ ed, and are able to sense all things at a much greater level. Having a much greater sense for every thing, I guess like some of our pet animals; like smelling and noticing things most are never even aware of.

I know that just like everyone else, Empaths come in different forms, and we all have greater abilities in some areas, but was wonder how many have most of these things to some degree?

Hello everyone, I'm someone who's been wondering my entire life if something was wrong with me. I'm an extremely, I'd use the word "aware" person. I don't want to say too much and come across as crazy but I really would like to know that I'm not a weirdo or crazy. I can see what people don't want seen about them. It's kind of hard to explain but I feel what they feel and I know things about them as a person. I'm not saying I read minds. I just feel and know. I've lost friends because of it because maybe I've said things that maybe were too personal that wasn't meant to be shared with others.

How to Control the Empath Ability

malene — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 21:59:50 GMT

I posted this on my blog ( www.skeptic.dk ) not so long ago, but I would like to share it with you here as well.
Take what you can use, leave the rest. ;-)

------------------------------------

You already are in control.

“Oh, but I feel so overwhelmed, I can’t stand it, I can’t find myself… It is a curse, I do not control it!”

Sure you do. You just haven’t thought of it that way, because the first suggestion about ’shielding’ leads you to believe, that the impressions come all by themselves. They don’t. You do not feel everything everywhere all of the time. It may seem that way, because you cannot feel you, but the impressions you get comes from your own subconscious thoughts about what is even just remotely relevant for you to tune in on.

Relevance

That is a keyword for my theory about how you best control your empath ability. I am sitting here in front of my mac trying to formulate my thoughts about this issue. The thing that is most relevant for me right now is my sense of me. So I am relevant to me right now. I have to have a sense of me in order to put my thoughts into words in such a way that I get my message through the right way. But other people are relevant for me as well, as I am writing for those who do not feel that they are in control. So I have these impressions stored in my memory of people I have encountered on the web, who felt this way.

So my focus is divided properly in accordance with what I find most relevant for typing this post.

When my own ability exploded one day in january ‘08, I could not walk down to the local supermarket without getting knocked out emotionally. It is not because this was new, and that I did not have the right tools for dealing with it. No, when I think back on the experience, it was because I found all emotions around me relevant.

I knew, I had this ability before I switched from latent to “full blown” empath. A long story, that involves other empaths, but quite irrelevant for this topic. Anyway, I knew, but it was still relevant for me at that time to be convinced. And so it was very relevant for me to experience that I actually could tune in on complete strangers, even though at the time I did not consciously make that decision.

I do not find other peoples emotional state that relevant in order to function on a daily basis. Sometimes something comes up, which makes me think: “this is relevant” and I automatically tune in on it.

Control

If you want to feel that you are in control of the empath ability, you should start by explaining to yourself what you really find relevant to you. You are already making a subconscious decision about it, so why not bring it out of the darkness and redefine your values?

It is also worth considering, how you perceive yourself amongst others. If you think that you as a person is not relevant, or that people in pain are very relevant, then those are the things you tune in on. Be honest with yourself while making these considerations. If you deep down feel, that another persons anger is relevant, and you do not see ‘you’ as relevant, then that is how you have managed it. But then perhaps it is time to evaluate that as well?

There is nothing spiritual about this, you cannot shield yourself from you. Shielding works in the aspect of you finding your shield relevant. It gives you something to visualize, and that does make you not focus on other peoples emotions. But it doesn’t really fix anything, and you do spend a lot of energy on something which is not relevant at all.

So… Is this relevant for you?

knowing emotional pain

keithalanhamilton — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 18:59:14 GMT

my emotional pain is hard to describe
it gnaws at my very being never ending
no matter what I do it rips at my soul
imagining a life without it is hopeless

living with such torment is not that easy
for its grasp upon me has taken its toll
not letting it consume me is a struggle
this pain appears the only thing I know

trying to get rid of it has exhausted me
many things I have done to eliminate it
yet it resists every attempt continually
my emotional pain seems here to stay

this realization in a sense has freed me
now I view it to be absolutely different
expressing my pain through words helps
releasing my anguish provides some relief

finally I've found purpose within my pain
where this will all take me I do not know
for others grow tired of hearing me groan
maybe pain too will weary leaving me alone

or maybe I’ll accept this pain as normal
something as My Abnormalities Normality
my felt sense of emotional pain is just me
me a sensitive and what’s wrong with that

If i handed you a rose...

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:00:03 GMT

Once upon a time, I found a rose. Was it for me? I thought so.

I picked it up and smiled. Just then some people passed me by and smiled at me as though they knew I had just been given something truly wonderful and they shared in my delight.

That rose I found did not fade. And if it had, what would that say? If words were made of light, the light would never go away.

And the days pass by like so many pages falling from the calendar, a tree with leaves that fall and grow again from some unvisible realm that stays the way it is even as it becomes and is born into this moment.

I want to share in the birth of the world, a great and wonderful birth that I could delight in for eternity. Then I would see that rose as I handed it to someone or left it at their feet to find one day and remember what it is that knows how to make a tree out of a seed, to know that need that fills a cloud with rain or the moon with love.

I look for that rose all the time. I fancy it may have as many forms as can be. it made me look; it made me see.

it is passing now and it is gone, the seed or some eternal song i listen for, imagining I can hear what it hears or the dream that i adore

life...no...not life...a feeling that slips beneath my gaze and slips through fingers like starlight and all the questions and all the answers mingling in the aspiration of the one who could give all this love away and smile...

once upon a time, this was a dream... a flower dropped into a stream.

where does it go from here?

inspiring words

bluw0lf — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 06:59:54 GMT

When we pay attention to the way we feel, and then choose thoughts that feel the very best, we manage our own vibration, which means we are controlling our own point of attraction - which means we are creating our own reality.

The less attention we give to everybody else's reality, the purer our vibration is going to be - and the more we are going to be pleased with what comes to us.

How do we give attention to other people's reality? Sometimes by watching the TV and reading the newspaper. By the books we choose to read. The people we associate with a lot. Our vibration is often the average of the five people we associate with the most!

So for today I choose to pay attention to the way I feel, and listen to that inner guidance to discern which thoughts bring me closer to joy and which ones lead me away!

loving a sensitive

keithalanhamilton — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 13:18:31 GMT

loving a sensitive really not that easy
a special person it takes to understand
my emotional highs and lows are rough
even hard for me at times the empathic
another putting up with me seems silly

every so often someone comes along
alluring me into thinking this is the one
they give their best but run out of gas
after they thought they would fix me
each time I swear never to love again

being empathic an unusual mystical path
only if psychically I’d never fly high again
how easy then to let love’s call pass on by
but my psychic disposition holds out hope
why wouldn’t someone love me this way

out in the world many undergo far worse
therefore I’m not crying out to get pity
I know I'll get beyond this lost love again
still my empathic pain from lost love hurts
and my heighten sensitivity doesn't help

I really need some support, please

Rachel — Sat, 16 May 2009 00:43:01 GMT

I just found out that my friend, who I still love and professed to love me, is also posting "missed connections" to his other Ex...the one he supposedly fell in love with me afterward. It's complicated, and I guess I should have seen all the signs, I really feel like an idiot now and I just want to take myself out. He would not ever call me, only write to me anonymously or email me...SUCH sweet things, but apparently he was vacillating between the two of us, and maybe more. I thought we had an amazing connection, but I think maybe he really is just an emotional vampire, and I was there as an unaware empath, with no boundary awareness, ready to take on his pain whenever she wasn't being perfect. He also has borderline personality disorder.

Wow. Writing all that out, it seems completely obvious. But I had hope...I trusted him that he was just too "broken" to communicate in real life...I loved and supported and waited. There wasn't intimacy, this was all heavy emotional stuff. But

Why, as an Empath, could I not detect this early? Now I am able to notice, even from a distance, when he is trying to expand his aura into mine and take over, and better at blocking it.

Please, I need some encouraging words. I just had a few minutes where I wanted to jump in front of a train. I've got to get this straight in my head!! I know for SURE I don't want this guy in a relationship, given the behavior I now know.

Any advice? I know on these forums - unlike others - there are much fewer (if any) demeaning responses, which I appreciate.

What happened?

ENIAD — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:51:44 GMT

I had a connection with a person that I seem to have a telepathic link with.
He was wondering about technical problems and asking questions about his altar that he has just created .It was strongly madnetised and it felt like a swift current coming from it, like a white or black hole, not sure which one.

I did not want to get involved and did not answer.

Suddenly, I felt like an electric current sweep over me. It did not touch me but appeared to be hitting an overlapping sphere on me - I was lying in bed at the time.

There was an audible snap in the room and my mental screen went dark, like a telvision that one turns on.

After a few minutes. the communication with the person reappeared but more as an echo.

I am trying to figure out what went on.

I suspect the person of having tried to bind me psychically, it looks like some operation of that ilk but I could be wrong

I have not been in touch with him for while and though we had been very close at a point, intended on detaching completely.

About reading online

I realize that there is very little actual information about how to read people on chat or similar.
So I have written an article about it, with the limited experience I have. Feel free to comment and make suggestions!!

I have focused on the online readings, but it applies to all types of reading I guess...

how to break telepathic links?

Sun, 05 Nov 2006 05:54:18 GMT

Curious about the different techniques people use. My current method is to randomly link to a different person (lol)... For lack of an effective technique. I have tried visualizing the person on a screen and 'shattering' the screen like it were made of glass (absent from any emotion, of course), as suggested by a book, i forgot which... But it kind of doesn't work... or even pings the person. I have tried visualizing the link as an energy tube disentegrating... but its either too slow, or im too lazy. Does any one have a more manual or trigger-like technique? Realistically, the best way is probably just to drop the person's image altogether, but i think im still far from that kind of control.

Chord cutting/energy exchange?

bethinhfx — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 22:28:54 GMT

I am not even sure what the subject line should be but this tribe seems like a good place to post this. I am going through so much stuff and I have no one to bounce it off of- I had a relationship 12 years ago with soemone who was not that well. I knew that but was in quite a desperate part of my life and I guess, in a way, I used this person. I always felt quite ashamed of the relationship but I think mostly because it was so sexual and I think I picke dup all of their shame and guilt etc. Well, now in my community it has come to light that I had this relationship. I never tried to hide it but it was a little bit of a secret I guess. Anyway- this man kinds of repluses me so I have been cutting chords- not in anger- but just so that I can move on with my life sans guilt and shame. Anyway, it's really weird because I am going through all of this stuff with this person- energy exchanges etc., even though I am not in contact with them- it's all at the subliminal level but I do feel kind of energetically stalked. It also has darker elements and I have been struck by the fact that this person was a "trap" and that he took something away from me. I guess he did- it was pretty sordid- I was young and really quite desperate. I am really trying to move beyond it- hence the chord cutting because I realized that when I met him all of my chackras were open- I didn't know anything about all of that stuff then. Anyway, people are using it against me which I consider very mean and adolescent- even if he was this awful troll...doesn't measn that he's not a human being. I live in a small town and this happened just as I moved here. The only reason i can think that people are using it against me is power- which I don't care about anyway- I just don't want to feel all of teh shame, control, etc., that I feel coming from him. The weird thing is that I feel his presence in and around me. I don't want to be aggressive with chord cutting etc., and want to be kind but i do want to be free. It was a mistake- I was wrong to use someone/to be sneaky about it. It was 12 years ago. I want to move on. It's also weid because I have a beautiful old cat and I got a dog 2.5 years ago and my cat has been quite stressed out- I have been trying to find a new home for the dog- but it all seems connected somehow- that and not helping a girl that I think i was supposed to help...anyway, I don't know if anyone knows what I am talking about but I guess my questions are more about cutting energy chords in peace but how do you know what;s your will and just letting it happen. For instance I felt one of my heart chords shielding his chords because he was fighting to stay attached to me- so the sheild came up and his chords attached to the shield but then I felt the chord going deep into my heart with him on the other side of the chord????? so I made the chord come out and cleaned it off...but i felt like that was my will and that I should have just let it go into my heart. I am very confused and do not know what I am doing!!! I just want to be free of all of the shame and guilt but somehow I feel like I am helping him.... and I don't know if that's what I should be doing considering that I feel that he quite hurt me- my reputation- by gossipping about me- and lording around like he still owns a part of my soul- 12 years later??? Any thoughts??

reverse telepathy, group mind and awareness

zariat — Sat, 21 Jan 2006 16:33:03 GMT

have any of you ever had an experience where you felt that, rather than you sensing the thoughts and emotions of others, that they could all see into YOUR head and sense what was going on? and if so how did you deal with this situation?

if so have you ever had role-reversal or else the ability to open full two-way communication (or rather all-way) and can you actively tune your abilities and senses?

i realize this is a lot of questions but this is only the beginning really...

A Physical Description of what you feel?

Maggie — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 05:50:30 GMT

Hello Everyone, I'm Maggie and I'm brand new to the tribe. (as in 24 hours ago). So please excuse me if I my lingo isn't up to par. I'm very new to the research of this, but was delighted to find this tribe and read about experiences that mirror my own.
I have had physical awareness as well as dreams that showed me impending danger, illness or death of people close to me as well as 9/1/01 (911) The first dream I remember was of my highschool Drama teacher. I was real close to his whole family and babysat his daughter. I had a dream that one day I dropped by and the daughter met me at the front door with blood all over her dress. She said "My Dad fell off a ladder and hit his head." In the dream I found him in his back yard bleeding from the head. But that was all there was to it. A few months later he was complaining of head and neck pain one morning. He passed out shortly thereafter and went into a coma in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. It was an aneurysm and he died a few days later. I stayed with the family and helped them through the ordeal. Now I find a calling or rather a call to duty when someone loses a loved one. I can keep a cool head and get alot of unpleasant stuff done for them.

But what I'm referring to is my other sensitivity, a physical feeling. The best way to describe it is by using an example: If anyone has ever been in the presence of a child or your child when they have started to run out into the street in front of a car. Even if the child stops, your heart takes a big leap, as you make that huge inhale reflex or gasp for air. That sudden nervous emotional shock is what happens to me.

That feeling will come and go for weeks or even months before a death, illness or tragedy. Many times the feeling will come on when the person's name is mentioned or they call me, etc. or sometimes when certain songs are played. In addition, I become very restless when I try to sleep, and get up and down several times in the night.
Does this happen to any of you......
Thanks in advance,
Maggie

Dreaming Premonitions

keithalanhamilton — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:43:35 GMT

While dreaming of having a picnic outside in the back yard with family, a missile flew over our heads. The missile hit a nuclear power plant nearby and then ricocheted back towards us. It slide along the ground right near where we were sitting and kept on going through an open field. It eventually slide into a hill and exploded. Out of the top of the hill sprung a stream of water spraying all over the land near by us. We went to the back of the house and started trying to project the rise of the water on the house foundation. We were trying to predict how much time before the house would be flooded.

I had a dream similar a week prior to this one, but I won’t relate that one to you at this time. By the second dream, I knew I was having a premonition not only on a personal level but on a global scale as well.

That morning to the second dream, I realized North Korean launched its missile. Following that, Italy had its earthquake and yet because this was my second premonition, I knew this entailed more than just these events. A gunman also had just killed 13 people in Binghamton, NY; and because of my empathic sensitivity, I now psychically have a felt sense that humanity as a whole is now experiencing a cycle of emotional activity that translates into heartfelt pain and worry that’s higher than usual.

How long this emotional cycle will last on a global scale, I don’t know.

How many Empaths are sensitive in other areas as well or all areas?

David — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 18:24:57 GMT

I am highly aware of many things, besides just others feelings and emotions, like others feeling and hormones, and etc, I react like they are mine, being a hypersensitive morphic empath. I guess the thing I was thinking about mostly, was smell. I can smell sour milk or etc days before others can if not week or ahead. Same goes for other smells too, so farts and BO and etc, so wow and yuck and ouch says my nose and head.

Lately as I have been doing more toxin cleansing, I notice chlorine in the city water systems much more, much stronger. I have noticed of late, when driving around town, a few are watering lawns during the day. And when I drive by, I can smell the over powering smell of Chlorine, sometimes I have to immediately change the air setting to cabin recycle only and close the windows, it is so bad.

Does this happen to anyone else? I'm reserved with most people most of the time...but if I find someone I connect with, eventually the dam will break and i will come out with far too much personal info. I don't know how to find a middle ground. If it's reciprocated it's wonderful, but some people can't be that open, or are overwhelmed (understandably) and I end up feeling horribly rejected.

It lingered for ten minutes at least.
Very often it is by people that I do not know yet but recognise later. Not always however.

How do I get their names or simply what they want?

Empaths and numerology – what is the likelihood of a common number?

Paule — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 11:35:08 GMT

A book I read uses numerology (birth date) to present information such as tendencies, issues, and potentials of an individual. One of which I discovered for myself as being acutely sensitive to other people's emotions, as if they were my own. It was explained that a 3 on its own is to do with emotional sensitivity, but acute when the pair of numbers before adding for the final, are threes (33) My friend is also Empathic, and has the same 33 number. So I am really curious to find out just what may be the percentage, or likelihood of people being a 33 in numerology. If the book interests you, I wrote a review in the Reviews sections in this Tribe. Empathy is not a term used in the book, and is also a relatively new term for me.

Would you like to help ascertain if there is a common thread here with birth numerology numbers, by indicating what your two digit number is?

Please don’t put your birth date here, as I don’t think it is safe to put such information in a public place.

The way to arrive at the two digit number (and the final, which makes up 3 digits in total), is to write down your full date of birth, for example, say one was born 10 December 1970
Write down; 10 12 1970
Now add up all single digits. There are 8 digits in this example. Essentially, anything greater than 9 is treated as 2 digits. (eg 10th = 1 + 0, 11th = 1 +1)
1+0 + 1+2 + 1+9+7+0 = 2 1
21 is then added again to arrive at 3, but is expressed as 2 1 , 3

Thanks

Healing touch???

Marie — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 04:46:30 GMT

Hi, all
I am about to describe an incident that happened several weeks ago, that, quite frankely, sorta scared me. Ihave mentioned, in previous posts, the elderly lady that I was the care-giver for. She is now permanently living in a nursing home because her Alzheimers became to much for her family to handle. While in the nursing home, she injured her big toe on her right foot, and apparently the nursing home did not take quite as good of a care as they should haveof the injury. The old lady is a brittle Diabetic, and wounds do not heal very well on her, and the wound on her big toe turned into a large diabetic ulcer, which in turn made red streaks run up her leg. She was placed in a long term special care facility, for treatment and for rehab therapy. On the first day that she was there, I decided to see if I could accomplish anything by visualization and concentration towards lessening the severety ov the wound. I placed one hand very lightly on her leg and visualized that her hot leg was getting almost icy cold and that the red streaks were getting light pink and receding back down into her foot. I did that for about 5 minutes. Guess what? When I opened my eyes, the red streaks were back down to her foot and the leg was almost cold to the touch. As I said,, quite frankly, it scared me!!!! I asked my friend who was there withme.. "Please tell me that what I think happened did not , in fact happen"
She said "Sorry , but it did happen"
Has anybody else had an experience like this? Can anyone give me the name of books tha might give me help on how to handle this? I am seriouly freaked.

"Push"

Rachel — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 20:10:19 GMT

Has anyone seen this movie? I notice that they have many types of powers represented in this film:

thought projection
telekinesis
premonition
"shadowing" other powers
making someone bleed internally (yikes!)

Where are the empaths?? Conspicuously absent. Why? They leave the ending very open to a sequel...so I hope they bring in empaths if they make another one.

Marriage

InLightInOne — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 02:26:41 GMT

In this life, we learn many ideals that shape the eternal us. Who or what we choose to love & trust molds us by the contours of its definitions. We sometimes trust in a lover to complete us. Through that partnership we learn tremendous lessons about love, life, and who we are to become, discovering that it is what that person channels that we really love. Ultimately, we are married to the universe and our partners are simply the route by which we come to understand our personal connection with God. Some couples separate because of static coming between them, others because it was simply meant to be. But a true marriage is not measured just by an event that deems it so, but rather by an indestructable link that is formed by both partner's light fused together forever. Inside of that that link stands a garden that the universe will never forget. Those blended colors cannot fade from the halls of the library, for they are the candles of it's midst. Beyond (yet through) humans, its chapters draw us to a special place where we find, with or without a partner, that we are never alone and always of marriage in the bridal chamber as One.

Talking of Ego's

rainbowsky — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:16:49 GMT

I have noticed there is often a reference to what ego is and on whether to 'kill' it etc and then fierce opposing views. It is worth remembering that Buddha says we have to 'let go of the ego'.

Much has been written in psychology etc and it is from psychological point of view that there is a fear of loosing the ego and we will become soft and weak or something. Nothing could be farther from the truth!

The ego is not a true part of who we are it is what we have learned to become, or to behave out of our fears mostly. I tend to think of it as the the computer brain trying to be so 'clever'. True sometimes it is or has been out of necessity to survive, but usually in the absence of any guidance or help, and out of desperation.

A song "You have got to be taught to hate and fear, day after day - year after year. It has got to be drummed in your dear little ear you have got to be carefully taught. ANd its got ot be done before its to late, before you reach 5, 6, 7 or 8. To hate all the people your relatives hate. You have got to be carefully taught.

Would show one aspect of our ego driven selves quite well.

If you have a problem, your brain will throw up every concievable or possible solution and we can end up going round and round. But clear your mind and maybe meditate and the answer will come quite clearly, from your own Inner Self or Higher Self.

Our ego's will often Justify why we should do this and so, and mostly its responses are learned and because it worked before we have a pattern of behaviour. Patterns are hard to break, when they have taken a life time to re-inforce.

And the biggest fight of all is the ego's threat to its existence. Then the biggest arguments will rear up.

Just think for one moment - you are having a hard time with someone - you fully intend to react differently to them to get on a better footing - you see yourself doing this, you know the reactions etc are silly and causing pain a difficulties. THEN you meet them they say, something or you see they havent tidied up or something trivial. And you react in the same old way and the same old arguements ensue. After, you think what went wrong, this isnt who you want to be..............it isnt who you REALLY are????

And you are right its your ego, taking over.

I more recently learnt that the ego is connect to the 7 deadly sins! Yes fundamentalism, because some things are fundamentally true!

So if you look at your behaviour, you can see........ Pride............envy................anger etc And I found you see even those little ones like, "aw I want one of those" or why does he have all the luck (resentment, anger) They are rife. And what is more important is they are often held up to be sought after as if a 'great' thing to be or have. Just look at Celebs!

Danyi WAhoo of the Cherokee says in her book Voices of our Ancestors - To be a Peace Keeper and attain Peace Keeper mind does not mean you reamin all love and take no actions. It means to stand up and speak out against what is not "Right Action". To be a Warrior!

Your true self - our True self cannot take action or do what is right unto 7 generations if we cannot hear it for all the noise of the ego's. Being in two minds arguing with ourselves inan inner turmoil of thoughts.

I had a horrible dream - where I killed a redheaded women - with a potatoe peeler - I was upset because I have never had such a violent dream -- my book said this is great news - you are "killing off" that part of you you no longer need, the ego driven self! That which must be 'killed' as in the 'base metal' before it can be turned into the 'Gold'!

Need Hearing Aid

ENIAD — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 14:43:40 GMT

All my psychic senses seem to be working quite well except for one.

I have trouble hearing.
I often connect with spirits and the spirit of living people but get mumblings and more mumblings and usually no clear words.
Sometimes one word will be audible but the rest is garbled.

This is a slightly bit frustrating.

Do you have an idea how I could I improve my psychic hearing?

Enneagram and Empath

Michelle — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:13:05 GMT

Hi all,
After taking numerous classes and sitting on panels, over the years, I've found that I feel most comfortable around two particular Enneagram types - 9 and 5. I am an enneagram 9 and an Empath and took a few tests and came out dead on for INFJ. I was wondering if anyone else saw a connection between your enneagram type and being an Empath.

The biggest challenges I have are with enneagram 8 and 3 (Both intense but an 8 is physically/energetically loud and 3's can be type A loud)

The 5's are intellectual, quieter and not focused so much on emotion so for an INFJ/empath we don't pick up as much free floating emotionally-charged vibes from them.

9's are usually too busy picking up everyone's stuff and repressing or creating calm (even if they are a basket case inside) that one usually feels calm around them.

p.s. I also posted this on the INFJ site.

Feeling Unsafe

Laurie — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:54:25 GMT

I am new to tribe and I must say how much I really appreciate this group. Being an empath I have felt very lonely most of my life, even in situations of supposedly healing, or healing trainings I've been. In the family I was raised in I was always given the strong message that what I perceived (empathically) was NOT true and that is partly why I have a very hard time believing the conflicting messages inside me to what was being presented.

Also so many people saying things they don't mean and presenting themselves falsely, even though I know often they themselves are unaware. I've felt so weird in life and it helped a lot when I realized that my feelings could actually be feelings I was picking up from other people and that the impressions that were opposite of what people were saying might actually be hidden truth.

I feel very unsafe for the most part because many people in this culture seem to not really want to know the truth and people who come to be healed do not really want to be healed. I have had just as hard a time in the "alternative" cultures usually, people seem just as misrepresenting.

Even writing that I feel like I might be attacked somehow, or told that I am wrong. Anyone else relate to this at all? Maybe it is the fact that "critical" thinking is so prized, many people look out at the world from that perspective and I pick up on that, as if many people are poking at me with spears, trying to critically evaluate me, just a thought.

Empaths Lies and Truth

rainbowsky — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 17:21:58 GMT

I have been very lucky, I had a wise counsellor who helped me see more clearly the path of empaths and clairsentient beings. She taught me, that although we are not perfect, we have through many lifetimes earned and learned many gifts.

Often, we are Heart Centred, and in the higher realms if you are in the heart you are in the realms of Light and truth. If your soul has experienced this you instinctively know that Love is all and is the truth. In the realm of love there is no need for protection, however we are not in that realm and this earth plane is pretty messed up, So here, we need to learn protection, and about our healing energies, because there are many that use theirs up in strong emotions like anger etc and they will try to absorb our nice energy.

We see the truth, we sense it and know it. But others do not take kindly to having their faults pointed out as even we do not either.

This makes it all very painful for us and we may have in past lives gone underground so to speak as healers lest we be attacked. So we sometimes try and take on other peoples pain and hust, or do it unwittingly. Sometimes others like to unground us and step into our Aura and take energy. They are not aware and often we are not aware - until a later date.

I used to think sometimes days later "wgh did I let them talk to me like that", my teacher told me it was because i was there! I had put my consciousness somewhere else - because it is so upsetting or painful to us to see ugliness, or unkindness or the lies. This, is when she said other people take your energy, and maybe at other times you give it away.

Learning about grounding, protection, and getting my energy in the spine (the chakras) right has been one of the most important things I have learned. Sadly, its come quite late for me. And I used to think being airy fairy and space cadet was kinda cool, but it isnt. I used to absorb everyones neg feelings and you see one of our gifts is that wecan transmute energy, but sometimes it was overwhelming and took months or even, like recently years.

I revert back to my old habits and patterns, but I promise you if you learn about your AUra - put Electric Blue around it to filter neg energy. Your chakras - the bottom three red, orange and yellow, enrgise them see thier colours brifght and strong, and spin them to the right and to the good, make them 5cm across and no bigger. Throw a ribbon of red from the red one at the base of your spine and breath up the energy of the earth, let her give you strength and to get you connected to earth and grounded.

See the energy of heaven flowing down into your crown chakra all golden, energising all chakras and filling you up with love light and strength. You wont know yourself! Or rather you will know yourself in your true light!

Energy of earth flowsup breath it up the spine, energy of heaven flows down breath it down. Get yourself connected and m,ake bright your cloak of light.

Learn to be truth, yourself, to have the courage to say, "I am sorry I dont think that is very honest", or say "thats unkind". YOU are not responsible for other people or their actions, stop thinking you are. YOU cannot take on the worlds negativity and transmute it all. But you can get your own energy right, make yourself vibrate aand be full of light truth and love, and where ever you go or who ever you are with your own vibrationsa will help them to come into harmony, you can choose to give healing energy but not empty yourself and see they just misuse it or abuse that gift. Many times others will just let their egos use it up, like with pride or anger. Then they come back for more.
So this doesnt really help.

Pointing out problems makes people defensive or dig their heels in. Thats what I do if someone points out neg in myself. It is important to remember, that although you may feel something is not true, you may not know what is 'the truth', you just feel its a lie, but you dont have to!
You dont have to justify anything! You -standing in your own light - can say - I just instinctively feel it, Its just a gut feeling, and \i trust that.

Doesnt mean to say its easy, or it will make things great, but it will be honest, and it will be who you are - A HIGHLY SENSITIVE BEING, TRYING TO LIVE IN THE LIGHT.

Spiritual Word Games

achababa — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 01:58:59 GMT

Hi Tribe

Haven't been posting on Tribe in awhile but I finished writing this and it seemed like a good thing to keep in mind for internet spiritual discussions.

Spiritual Word Games

Humans seek emotional security. We want to feel good about ourselves. Deep down, we rarely achieve those good feelings because the “self” we wish to validate is built on a fantasy we have created rather than our true essence. In the struggle to keep our self-image positive, we even distort our spiritual values and beliefs in service of our egos. We play spiritual word games.

We are identified with our egos. The ego is that collection of thoughts and feelings about ourselves which is based on our past. The ego wants to feel good about itself. The ego rarely enjoys genuine fulfillment because it is not real; it’s made up of ideas and concepts, rather than of true Being. It’s bound to be insecure. The ego compares itself with its perception of other people. It seeks validation in reaching a superior comparison. If you know something that others don’t, you think you’ll feel better. If you prove somebody wrong, you feel special.

Humans are creatures of conditioning. We are taught as children how to approach the world and we model our approach to new activities based on our past actions and successes. Whether it’s in the field of school, business or romance, we’ve learned to climb the ladder of success by molding ourselves relative to the predominant culture (or counter-culture) and rising in stature with effort, cunning, and increasing sophistication. We learn to evaluate the status of others by their dress, demeanor and company. We learn our place.

It shouldn’t be surprising then, that when we find the spiritual path, some of us apply our worldly formulas of success to it. We try hard, study the literature, use the jargon, and adopt the dress and mannerisms of the spiritual culture we are adopting.

It’s worth contemplating the pitfalls of the egoic model of spiritual advancement so we don’t waste our time building a new, seemingly improved, personality that’s merely a more self-righteous version of the unhappy person we’ve become.

With that in mind, I’d like to address playing “Spiritual Word Games.”

I call it “Spiritual Word Games” when a person manipulates spiritual concepts for ego reinforcement or ego justification. Here are some examples that might be called “Spiritual Word Games:”

“Everything is illusion. Nothing really happens so you shouldn’t be upset when I skin you alive.”

“I feel my body is telling me it needs to eat a quart of ice cream.”

“It’s not my problem if my wife is upset that I’m going to the ballgame instead of her family dinner. I’m detached about it.”

“God is in everything, even in this line of cocaine. I see the perfection in everything.”

“You say you feel divine love within you but someday you’ll realize that Love just ‘is’ and there is no ‘within’ and ‘without’.

We don’t need to debate if there is truth at some level in the statements above. They are “Spiritual Word Games” if their intent is to manipulate people, inflate the ego, or justify selfish actions. You have to be honest with yourself about ‘why’ you say something. ‘What’ you say is merely the content concocted for the intent. The temptation to be dishonest with ourselves is itself a warning that we are avoiding truth in favor of an upgraded rendition of our illusions.

“Spiritual Word Games” often rely on selectively surfing the layers of relative truth in search of what we want. Detachment arises from the virtue of accepting reality as it is, of remaining contented in the Self. But detachment makes a poor excuse for not caring about people’s feelings. If our actions are selfish but we detach ourselves from their consequences, we’re trying to work a loophole in the cosmic scheme, trying to claim a karmic exemption. To forgo justifying our actions doesn’t mean condemning yourself. Just be aware. Forgive your own folly as your forgive the folly of others, with understanding and compassion.

If we have our own bliss, we don’t have to grasp at the world for happiness or validation.

“Spiritual Word Games” can also mean using the Absolute level in support of some relative or selfish idea.

It’s true that a stick of chalk is made of vibrating energy; that doesn’t mean we can use it for a camera battery.

If you think you can smoke cigarettes without consequence because “Everything is God” then you might consider a meal of Dog excrement, that’s God too right?

If “the world is just an illusion” and “nothing ever happened,” why bother posturing yourself as spiritually superior to anybody else?

In India there is a story of a man whose Guru told him “Everything is God” The man went to a parade and fearlessly stepped in front of a mad elephant, even though the rider of the elephant was waving for him to run. The elephant squashed him but he managed to survive. His friends asked him why he stood in the Elephant’s way. He said he thought that since everything was God, that he should be safe in front of the Elephant. They reminded him that the driver who warned him to flee the elephant was also God.

Using spiritual knowledge or dogma to justify what we want to believe is a temptation for mainstream religious people as well. A passage from Leviticus is commonly cited to prove biblically that homosexuality is “an abomination.” Those same people would never dream of following the dietary laws of Leviticus, nor endorsing its view of slavery nor the death penalty for minor crimes of morality.

Beware of this phenomenon in Love and Relationships as well. It’s easy to demand unconditional love and non-violent communication when you’ve mistepped, just make sure you give as well as receive those blessings.

Spirituality is a state of “Being” and not a state of “Believing.” The ability to be very present and centered in pure “Being” with an open heart makes a person especially spiritual. Expertise with spiritual word games is a cosmetic that attempts to make us look better but doesn’t add anything real or enduring to our inner beauty.

It’s not only words that we use to make ourselves feel more spiritual. We learn to dress a certain way, speak in certain tones, and act according to our image of what “spiritually advanced” looks like.

On one level, projecting a spiritual image can lead to progress. There is a certain power to “Fake it until you make it.” When you behave according to your intent, you strengthen the energy of it, and release past patterns. We can choose to face the light, decide to be happy, and embrace truth. Our energy will flow into the mold of our intent and establish a new pattern that serves us better.

But if the motive behind our spiritual fashion is to climb the social ladder of a group, to influence the perceptions and opinions of our community, or to convince ourselves that we are better than we fear we are, then we are cheating ourselves out of the bliss that comes from a spiritual heart.

It’s hard to love people when we are rating ourselves against them in our minds.

Ironically, people don’t particularly like those who appear superior to them and they can sense when someone takes pleasure in their assumed superiority.

Peace and Love are our very nature. Seeking fulfillment from playing spiritual games means looking to your self-image for satisfaction. That’s bound to divide your personality from the Source of your Love. You are satisfaction itself if you open yourself to BEING. Immersed in your contented bliss, you see the best in people, you bring out the best in people, and your communion with the world banishes thoughts of ranking yourself or elevating your status.

It’s hard to get used to the idea that being yourself is more a matter of undoing habits, distractions and illusions than of building an upgraded persona. It’s easy to get energetic and enthusiastic about doing something. Letting go of our old doings while remaining content with ‘openness in Being’ is subtler. Our habitual desire to fall into the tracks of our old ways makes us restless for the comfort of the familiar. Be patient with the restlessness and just observe the tendency to cast past habits into new ideas. The energy of the past will dissipate when we stop feeding it. It just takes a little time.

Don’t judge yourself or be disappointed if you catch yourself indulging in some spiritual ego. That would just be another, more negative, expression of that ego. They are twin sides of the same insecurity: the desire to be ‘good enough’ and the fear that we are not ‘good enough’. Treat yourself with the same love and compassion that you would offer others. Accepting yourself goes hand in hand with accepting others.

So the trick is to ‘be present” with your motives and actions, without denial or judgment. Compassionately and honestly observe yourself. Maintain your awareness of your thoughts and feelings. Pointless spiritual games will lose their meaning when seen in the light of Awareness. The ‘Observer’ who can be aware of our thoughts and feelings without judgment is the gateway to the real self. Observe as the Self by Being the Self. The “thinker” that can lament about our weaknesses and failures is a facet of an illusory identity that separates us from Truth and Love. The ‘observer’ can be aware of the thinking without getting wrapped up in it. Don’t lose yourself in the train of thoughts.

It’s good to recognize these contrary forces that can be primary obstacles to transformation: we say we want to change because we’re not satisfied, and yet we habitually inhabit our usual state of consciousness because it’s a familiar rut that’s a challenge to unlearn. Stop playing the ego games you are addicted to by observing yourself playing them. Let go of inner assumptions about who you are that are really just habits and past conditioning.

Learning to step away from your habitual state of consciousness is one of the most powerful transformative skills you can learn, because otherwise, whatever you learn and do will be undone by your unconscious will to cling to the familiar.

Reside in your own BEING and observe. Embrace yourself and others with the Love that springs from within you. Abiding in yourself and being present and open to the world around you without judgment is a new orientation toward life that takes a willful mindfulness to establish as new awareness. Once you’ve lived in mindfulness for awhile, the peace and fullness of your being will make reverting to old negativity seem unthinkable.

Most people have lived in a negative bubble for so long that layers of mental and emotional clutter have obscured the wellspring of Peace and Love that is their own Being. They might have to endure a period of emptiness as they take out the inner trash before the inner light begins to shine. If spiritual work feels unrewarding at first, be patient and nurture yourself. The inner trash needs to be taken out sooner or later. Once you have observed negativity and tension within yourself, you understand that it doesn’t serve you. If you have to bear the sight and smells of your stinky inner trash while you purge yourself of it, bear with it realizing it’s better to be free from it than to have it darkly festering within you.

It’s only a matter of time and transformation before you know Peace as your very nature each moment.

Love yourself, Be yourself, and the world will shine in beauty around you.

Mood stabilizers

Rachel — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 00:45:53 GMT

I am on a mood stabilizer as a supplement to antidepressants. It has been a lifesaver, however I find that I can't cry when I'm sad. The emotion just feels crammed down into my chest. This may be how it feels to repress things - which I've never been able to do normally...I'm sure many of you relate to that.

I want to be able to process my emotions. I have valid reasons to be upset sometimes and don't want to feel like an automaton with this lurking sadness in the background. If I take the dosage down to half what I'm taking, though, I am too upset most of the time to function. (It is in regard to a long-upsetting romantic relationship, which I'd like to feel better about eventually). I'm a student, I'm going to grad school...I need to be able to focus without being overwhelmed by emotion...

So - what do I do? Sacrifice my emotional well-being for intellectual clarity? There has to be a better solution.

Seven is a Magic Number

Eclipse* — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 14:57:21 GMT

Seven is a magic number.It seems,the entire world rests on the number Seven.

Upon winning a victory,achieving success and wanting to express their sense of full happiness people have been saying that they are on the Seventh heaven !

It`s not accidental that the most ancient Biblical Lamp - Menorah - is a seven candle piece. This deeply religious symbol of the Biblical people reminds the history of the World`s creation by the Lord:for some reason,almost all the most important events in the Bible are connected with the number Seven!

As imagined by Islam ,the World consists of 7 heavens. Allah himself lives on the 7th heaven . Interesting , and Judaism also aknowledges the existence of 7 heavens..

And in the New Testament John speaks of the book with Seven seals (John 5:1) .
The great philosopher and poet Goethe mentions this book several times in his immortal poem "Faust".

The antroppologist Rudolf Steiner wrote that , just like LIGHT consists of SEVEN colours (Seven Wonders of the World),
the musical scale also consists of 7 tones (notes).

Proverbs ,all about *7* :

Its better going yourself than sending seven .

Seven nannies have a baby without an eye.

Seven misdeeds ,still one punishment .

One with the plough ,but seven with spoons.

Seven wont wait for one.

To walk seven miles to drink some kissel .

past life memories

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:41:41 GMT

I wonder if anyone here believes they had past life memories, I mean any visions or recurring dreams or something you leant while meditating or sleeping or just a spontaneous memory that, you think, may be connected with your previous lives?
How do you know that these are not ''false memories''?

message from Moderator

FXtrader — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:28:21 GMT

Sorry I haven't been around lately.

This tribe has really turned into a free-for-all. I've gotten some messages and it seems some-- are throwing chairs around. We can't have that.

I don't want to place myself as judge and jury or every conflict, so for those of you who weren't here in the begining, or don't remember my mediation policy here is. It's very simple: If anyone treats you badly, send me a personal message and that person will be removed. Make sure you include a link to the offending thread. So remember, be nice to everyone.

Here are the guidelines from way back when:

==============================
General Guidelines for Posting to Empaths Alike
==============================

1- Everyone arrived here based on a general or partial agreement with nine common traits that all empaths share. All posts regarding these traits, or any new traits that might be common to the group, are always welcome.

2- Our general statement of purpose is, "If this sounds like you... welcome. You're among friends. Here is a place where we can discuss the many challenges and rewards of our innate sensitivity."

3- While it is impossible to dictate what gets posted, keep in mind that everyone here is abnormally sensitive, for better or worse. So PLEASE try not to criticize anyone!! Feel free to post alternate viewpoints but DO NOT criticize the viewpoint of others. DO try to be tolerant. DO try to be supportive.

4- We are a tribe of Empaths. Try NOT to solicit advice for personal problems NOT related to our common traits or purpose here. MEANING: this is NOT a place for "Muggles" to solicit advice. If you are not an empath, or involved with an empath, as defined by the nine common traits, then you probably should not be posting here.

5- As empaths we seek to embrace our highest ideals. We ARE supportive and compassionate. We DO NOT call names, argue, or get into any "he said, she said" debates." If you are criticized, take the higher ground. Let it go.

6- My mediation policy is simple. If anyone treats you badly send me a personal message and that person will be removed. Just make sure you include a link to the offending thread. So remember, be nice to everyone!

Energy from symbols?

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:30:04 GMT

Can anyone feel any energy from symbols? And if so, could it be possible that the only reason you feel 'power' from these symbols is because man has empowered the symbol with such powerful meaning, or do 'powerful' symbols have such 'power' because of its geometrical shape, for we know there are natural symbols in nature: the golden rectangle. And we all know how 'powerful' plants are with their healing energy. Hope you guys understand what I mean. Thanks.

Has anyone else learned to sense more then just others feelings?

David — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 02:50:44 GMT

I think we all have different strengths, some stronger in some areas, and others, well in other areas. Out of necessity I learned to sense bodily functions, and which foods are good and bad for me, same goes for herbs and supplements; first close up and then later at a distance. Then I found I was able to do the same for others, what was wrong and then what they need to do to hopefully cause some improvement.

I would like to hear from others on this area.

The logic of synchronicity

ENIAD — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:01:27 GMT

I have been having a string of electronic glitches that kept me locked on communication with someone that I have decided not to keep in touch with.
Exact words as the ones that were used are also creeping up in various places along with more electronic malfunction.

What gives?

Is synchronicity always positive?

Is that just a residual effect?

Should that be interpreted as a sign that I should keep in touch with the person?

Is there magic, natural or willed , even unconscious here?

Are blockage occurences synchronicity?

Did you remember to eat and drink good things?

Azara — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 04:24:09 GMT

I have learned recently something that I am still in the process of understanding for myself, that can help many others as well. One of the biggest issues that people have is taking care of themselves properly. I remember when I was much younger than I am today, my father asking my mother quite often if she had eaten today. Usually this occurred when my mother was most upset about something. It never really mattered what my mother was upset with it. It only matter that she was upset, which in turn caused my dad to ask my mom if she had eaten some food that day. The reason he would do that is because he knew that she had a blood sugar problem and a hyper metabolism which would cause her to go into fight or flight mode over the most absurd things.

Our bodies are very complex biological machines. We take in energy and let go of energy all the time, even in our sleep. Like any machine whether it be a car or radio or something even as simple as a teeter tauter, the proper energy has to be applied to allow the machine to be operational. Energy can come in the form of fuel or applied energy, that is to say energy in motion, and various other forms as well. The simple fact is though in order to get a function to occur whether calculated or not there must be energy flowing for movement to happen. This includes thoughts and emotions as well as say picking up a rock and throwing it. Even a whistle upon a persons lips requires a whole lot more energy than what you might actual think it takes to make the sound happen. It takes the food that you put into your body, that comes from a time being spent storing that energy, in the food from the sun to give a person fuel, so the energy synopsis fires correctly to tell your muscles, in your face, to form the correct shape, to perform the whistle, along with the lungs and the muscle designed to move the lungs, to draw in the air, and then push it out again, to make the sound. It also takes the thought and the understanding of how to whistle in order to do it at all. So, when a person says "that looks hard to do", they are in fact correct. To some level everything is hard to do, and it is defiantly much much harder to do what you might consider usually simple, if you do not have the correct energy input to produce the desired output results.

Basically to sum this up, if you do not take care of yourself or your surroundings or the food and water that you need to have in order to properly function you will not be able to do things correctly, let alone anything at all. If you want to do things, enjoy life and live then the only way you or I or anyone things that is living can do this is if the proper fuel rest and care is put into action and applied correctly.

SO, feed yourself and drink fluids take care of your selves dang it!!!

"To thine own self be true" which means be yourself and take care too!!! In order to be true ones self one has to feed the self in a proper meter and measure. JUST DO IT!!!!Become aware of what you actually need, do not over or under do it by making up excuses. Find a way, ask for help, and allow yourself to be healthy!! That is what your body instinctively wants as well as you personally, regardless if you are conscious of it.

Most of the time people unconsciously go through their day hurting themselves, and as a result hurt others and so on , due to some kind of lacking within in their systems. The best way to figure out what you lack is to try to listen and find ways to understand what your body is telling you. Sometimes it is easier to allow someone who can observe you to inform you of what they see, while you are learning to understand your own signals. It's all there and if you create or put yourself in a place that can allow for you to relax enough to really listen to what your signals are you will soon find yourself "in tune with you". It's like tuning in to a radio station, if you do not have electricity or power to operate the radio you will not be able to tune in to the station. If there is no station to broadcast then even if you have the right fuel or radio then there will be no signal to pick up. Since,that is not the issue with our bodies minds or emotions, this lack of broadcast will never come into play, however the lack of the correct fuel or understanding of what the signals are may be a very apparent factor. Good luck with understanding and applying this correctly.

Know that I share this with you all because my wish is to see people happier and healthier, as well as being there with you all. Know that the process takes time and is not an instant gratification thing. Allow yourself kindness as you would offer compassion to a young child who is still learning about their bodies. If you do that for yourself and others as well there will be great improvement for us all.

I take it for granted...

FXtrader — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 01:10:35 GMT

This was planted in my head at a very early age, and while it was NOT intended to be about the Empathic plight, it applies just the same.

In each of our efforts to uncover our own unique path-- overcoming obstacles all the way-- a sure way to ensure steady progress is to simply make it a goal: to learn something new day.

As long as you have that goal in place, it's amazing how the days turn to months and the months into years. Before you know it, you'll be seeing real progress without any intense effort.

If the beginning ANYTHING can qualify as, "learning something new," but in time you'll naturally want to do more. It's a TOTALLY private game.

Just look. Just watch. Everyday, from now on, you will, "learn something new." You may want to make a reminder for the first week or two. But once it becomes a habit, this little goal, will become a much a part of you, as the image you see in the mirror. Of course no one will know except you. But the benefits will be real.

For sure.

gotta, gotta: do ART

FXtrader — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 22:22:42 GMT

I know I shouldn't, but I often see Empathic abilities as a sign of intelligence. An analogy, told me when I was 19-- made a big difference in my life-- because the first time ever, I saw my long standing awareness, and it's ever present shadow making me different, was a POSITIVE attribute. Maybe... it will have the same affect on you. It went something like this.

A retarded person with and IQ of 25 points less than average, cannot function in many of that ways we consider normal. They are, so to speak, severe disadvantage. (It's nice thought how our modern humanity treats them dignity.Anyway...)

Traditional IQ measurements are very inaccurate. For example a standardized IQ test, would not be able to discern it you had prefect pitch. Similarly there are other abilities that are not measured by a standardized test. Empathy for one.

The point is THIS: just as a retarded person is always struggling to be normal-- a person whose IQ is 25 points ABOVE normal, will similarly be faced with a life long struggle.

I don't know if it's true, but it's a parable that marked a clear turning point in my life, and occasionally to this day, giveS me a little bit of reassurance that I'm on the right track.

Now the BIG point. Let's say this is true, and all your difficulties, struggles, and frustrations are due to you being conflicted about being yourself, OR being like everybody else, THEN I have a solution for you.

Every gifted individual faces this dilemma. It can be painful, but it doesn't have to be. YOU MUST FIND SOME WAY OF EXPRESSING THAT INNATE INTELLIGENCE. If can be through your work, but if it isn't, you better find a hobby that gives you a regular means of expression. Otherwise that aspect of your soul will grow old and bitter. ART IS ALWAYS GOOD. THERE IS FREEDOM IN ART.

dream curious...

FXtrader — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 22:43:46 GMT

I had quite a remarkable realization a couple of weeks ago, and didn't get a chance to write a post about it then, so let me tell you about it now. Maybe this sounds familiar.

Like everyone else, I dream in my sleep. Sometimes I remember my dreams and other times I don't-- just like everyone.

I don't know what it was-- some combination of supplements-- maybe an OD of Flax oil-- I don't know.

But I had a dream-- and at this point I don't even remember what it was about, but it was one of the most amazing dreams In my life!

You won't believe why. In the dream I was having a conversation. Real English words, just like everyday life. It was a long conversation, and the content itself wasn't as important, as the conversation itself.

It occurred to me that I NEVER have conversations in my dreams. In fact in my whole life-- of all the amazing dreams I've had-- including lucid dreams, I can't ever remember ever having a verbal conversations.There is certainly communication. There is always a mildly telepathic consistent understanding. That's communication. But never verbal conversations.

So I started asking around, I discovered that most people DO have conversations in their dreams.

Do you?

Other gifts?

Cat — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:17:04 GMT

I was just wondering how common it is for empaths to have other gifts. The two I know personally do...one is a (largely untrained) healer, the other can sense when spirit of those who are passed are around. Since I just learned about myself and need to find how to ground, shield, and control, I also fear. What if, in unlocking the past and tearing down the ineffectual walls, I discover more? I know that spinning my wheels but staying in the same place is not healthy, but how do I learn to accept that more is not necessarily a bad thing?

Divine Mysteries

Never Back — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 16:30:36 GMT

The spiritual body is the person`s soul ,faciliating the connection with the Supreme Reason.

The ethereal body is the closest to the physical one; its responsible for the person`s energy.

The mental body is the person `s thoughts,consciousness,thanks to which one can travel around other worlds as an astral projection .

The astral body relates to the person`s emotions,and it is where the so called exit "from the body" and transportation of the person`s consciousness within the physical world limits occur. It is called "externisation",or exit into the "otherworld".

According to the research of many years by the famous scientist Hereward Carrington,the density of the astral body is one millionth of the density of the physical body of people , and weighs approximately 40 grams .

Essential Oils

Katrina — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:38:47 GMT

Hi Everyone, New and Not,

I have heard of Essential Oils being used from everything to emotional grounding to cleansing to physical & emotional healing. I looked for a Tribe about them and couldn't find one, so if they and their properties interest you for any reason, please join this tribe to discuss and learn.

I apologize for promoting this. My intentions are to learn and heal using essentials (amongst a host of other things) and I believe many here can benefit from their grounding action as well as protection action.

Be Well,
Katrina

What's your Myers-Brigg Personality Assessment?

Azazeal — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 04:04:04 GMT

I'm curious about the personality types that are empathic by nature. For myself, I've taken the Myer-Brigg personality test several times. My results vary between INTJ and ISTJ. I have a feeling that empaths tend to be introverted sensing people. Why not take the test and see what kind of personality type you are. Check out this free website and post your results.

Anti-depressants

CJ — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:28:29 GMT

I've browsed through older messages and then just decided to start another. I was on Zoloft for several years in my 20's and then from that to welburtrin. Then I was off everything for a while. I think it was 2-3 years. That's when things started spinning out of control for me. I threw myself into therapy, and yoga trying to quiet everything but I couldn't. So after my therapist's encouragement, I'm on Lexapro. I feel great and it seems that I can still sense energy shifts with people, but I don't get the overwhelmed feeling of being in traffic (be it anxiety or empathy from others)
I just wanted some other to weigh in on their feelings/thoughts on antidepresants. I think for me, it's working now. At this point. I'd like to focus on meditation and get to the point where I can rely on that instead of medicine but that is a ways down the road.

So, I'm not asking for anyone to say, yes I should be on, or no I shouldn't, because I know for me, and what I was going though, this is sound releif. Temporary or not.

I just am curious of other viewpoints and experiences and if it's affected empathy abilities.

Song of the empath

Richard — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:45:22 GMT

Hi all

sorry it's been a while since I posted last. I just finished my latest song
It sprang from deep within. I would like to share it with you all. I write songs and play guitar, the last song I
wrote took three months. This one took three days including the music!
It's easy to write about what you know. Peace.

Song – I feel you
Date – November 29 2008
By - Rich Hirschmann

“I Feel You”

Emotions on the street run deep, unaware the energy we share.
He's happy about his new car and she's afraid she's gone too far.
Feelings float like mist in the mire and shoot through me like a spark on a wire.

I feel your joy, I feel your pain, for reasons I can't explain.
It flows through you, it flows through me, always there for those who see.

Inside a crowd it's like a dark cloud, emotions wash down on us all.
They come at you fast, rusty chains from the past ,that we never seem able to shed.
We wear our hearts on our sleeves, pinned with all our bad deeds, what a weight we all seem to share.

I feel your joy, I feel your pain, for reasons I can't explain.
It flows through you, it flows through me, always there for those who see.

The good and the bad it mixes like a potion it boils and it churns like a storm on the ocean.
Negativity and hate are the enemies of fate, with unending appetite we can never sate.
We're all a vessel for the life force we share. If we could all stop and feel, maybe more of us would care.

I feel your joy, I feel your pain, for reasons I can't explain.
It flows through you, it flows through me, always there for those who see.

Love problem...

Rachel — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 06:30:00 GMT

I need help! There is a guy that I am crazy about. I know from our distant communications that he feels the same way, and it’s clear that it’s sincere. But he will not talk to me on the phone or see me in person, and evades any of my attempts to get an explanation. The situation of our falling in love was messy, in that we were both in other serious relationships. Those both ended, although he and I never had anything happen except for strong feelings of ‘connection.’ It has only been a few months since he and his ex broke up (after years), and I don’t know if this is the reason. I have tried to ask him out multiple times but something is blocking him from getting any closer than we are. He has said that he is ‘broken’ and can’t trust anyone right now. Does this leave me any hope for the future? We are twin souls, and both feel that way but I don’t know how to work it out. I try to have faith because I really love him, but the prospects seem bleak unless we can establish trust. And without getting any closer than we are, I don’t know how that will happen. He is incredibly sweet and sensitive but can't seem to get past the trust barrier.

Also, I will be moving next year, and it puts added pressure on this because we don’t have forever to try being ‘us’…

Any thoughts? Is this lost or is there hope yet?

Rejection

RisingPhoenix — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 12:46:03 GMT

How do you overcome the fear of rejection?

I am pondering the prospect of doing something big .... (well, it's big for me)....that I have read will assist me in leaping over a hurdle that has caused me a great deal of pain for over a year. I want to release some of this angst and have tried everything I know...including some things that were suggested to me.

Nothing has worked.

I am scared to try this new 'tactic.' I read about it this morning, (a sign maybe?) after struggling all weekend with 'what left is there for me to do?' I have tried to figure out why I am afraid and I keep coming back to rejection. I am afraid to take this step because I am afraid of the potential of rejection. I keep telling myself that it is only a 50% chance of rejection, whereas I still have 50% of a chance of success. Decent odds, I would say. But my feet are in concrete.

I also tell myself that if i go into this with no expectations - with only the 'goal' of releasing myself, then there can be no rejection.

Only healing.

Any advice?
Anything I'm overlooking?

Peace and gratitude,
RP

Way More Open These Days

Katrina — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 22:34:56 GMT

Haven't been here in awhile and I see there are still familiar faces in this crowd : )

I'm pregnant and emotionally everywhere. I'm wayyyy more susceptible to feeling other people but it's not always in a positive way. Can't have it that way all the time right?!

My issue is that I make decisions without understanding them sometimes but they are almost always made for the positive. Even when it seems that I'm doing something odd. Simple and big things. Like for instance, I knew if I didn't get the Roast on the stove this morning, that my kids wouldn't be here to enjoy the meal. Sure enough, I didn't get it on in time and their Dad picked them up 90 minutes early today. I was so angry with myself over not listening. The biggest issue is that I'm getting upset at other people too when they don't listen. Which is CRAZINESS. I'm not normally that person. But I can see things that I don't understand at the time but which always reveal themselves soon after I speak with someone or make a decision in my heart.

I cannot be upset with another person for not understanding me or listening. But it's been hard when the outcome ends up being negative for me. I'm speaking of people that I'm close with right now and how their decisions sometimes will effect me.

I'm really just venting right now. I hate that half the time I can't put what I'm feeling into words that another person or even I will understand. All I can do is make the decision I know is the way I'm supposed to move.

That's it from me. Not looking for pity, just needed to vent. Thanks for listening : )

Do we create our own reality?

ENIAD — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:58:08 GMT

“The Mechanics of Metaphysics”

Excerpts from “The Mechanics of Metaphysics Workshop” © 1992, Darryl Anka

Bashar, what do you mean when you say I choose everything that happens in my reality? I would never have deliberately chosen some of the things that have happened to me!

On some level you are in control of every scenario you experience. For example, you may say, “I wouldn’t choose to be hit by a car, why would I choose that specific thing?” When we say you choose your reality, we do not literally mean that you specifically choose a particular way it will manifest. What we are talking about is that your belief systems and whatever emotions are strongest within you, will draw to you the type of physical experience that most precisely represents the basic idea or image or belief, about yourself, that you hold to be the most true. You may have a general description of yourself and you will simply attract in specific physical terms, in specific physical experiences, the one experience that represents the path of least resistance that is capable of fulfilling or manifesting or reflecting to you the general belief you have of yourself. It is not that we are saying that you definitely, precisely, and specifically desire to be struck by one of your automobiles. But if an individual is dealing with ideas and issues of safety and unsafety, of victimhood and non-victimhood, of fear on many different levels that where they are is not a safe place to be, then that fear in and of itself is what will attract the most likely occurrence to reflect and to show, in no uncertain terms to that individual, that they have, that they harbor, those types of negative beliefs.

Situations that happen in your life, circumstances that are the reflection of your physical reality; they don’t happen to show you that you are stuck; they don’t happen to show you you are a failure in life; the circumstances that happen in your life, the physical experiences that you have, they happen to show you what you believe, so that if you don’t prefer it you can change it. Your physical reality is your feed-back mechanism, so that every single moment of your existence as a physical being, you will constantly be giving yourself an opportunity to gauge and measure what belief systems you are buying into, moment to
moment to moment. You are not lost in life, you are not out of control, the things that happen in your reality are the reflections of what you believe about life, the quality you believe life to be, so you are always given, by yourself through the events in your life, the opportunity to determine whether or not the beliefs you have are the beliefs you want to have. They are not there to show you you’re stuck with what you’ve got; nor that you have failed in your life; but to show you how free you actually are. Because at every given moment you have the opportunity to know precisely what your strongest belief is, because your strongest belief must always be what manifests around you in physiological reality. It is a very simple thing; very, very transparent are all of you to yourselves, if you would but allow your definitions of life to be clear.

Allow yourself to know that there is absolutely nothing you could ever experience, nothing you could ever discover about yourself, that cannot be applied in a positive way — absolutely nothing. Every circumstance, every situation, they are all fundamentally neutral, devoid of meaning entirely. No circumstance and no situation has built-in meaning, They are props, in a sense, surface features. You are taught to assign meaning to them. So automatic does this process become, that you automatically believe that when a circumstance occurs, the meaning you automatically perceive is the meaning that
automatically comes with it inherently — but it doesn’t! It is neutral when the circumstance occurs and you automatically assign the meaning that you’ve been taught to assign. The meaning you assign to the neutral situation is absolutely, totally, and utterly what determines the effect you get out of it. Positive meaning in...positive effect out. Negative meaning in...negative effect out.

To illustrate this idea we will use an analogy we will call “The Train Station Analogy”. You are all familiar with the device you have on your planet called a train, yes? Let us say that you are within the best of your ability and fully within your intention and integrity rushing to meet one of your trains because you have a very important meeting. The meeting will turn events around in your life in the direction you really prefer, so you know you don’t want to miss that meeting. So you are doing your best to make sure that you meet that train on time. You arrive at the train station and you are on the platform. You look down the track
and...there goes the train without you. Now, decision #1; automatic assignment of meaning #1: A negative meaning: “I’ve missed my train, oh no! This is horrible, terrible—a catastrophe! Oh, miserable day! Now I will never make that meeting — I will never be able to do what I really want to do, that meeting was so important. I am now going to be very angry that I missed that train, I’m now going to be judgmental about the whole situation.” You are miserable, or furious (depending on the type of person you are) — you will either hold it within yourself and allow yourself the idea of negativity simply within your own life, or if you prefer company, you will stomp off to the train station to complain, making everyone else’s day just as miserable as your own. Now, away you go — stomp, stomp, stomp!

Scenario #2: You arrive on the platform — there goes the train and you’re not on it. Neutral situation. Now, you say to yourself (making the choice of a positive affirmation): “I know, because I have chosen to know, that I am a positively manifesting person. I also know that there is really no such thing as an interruption in the path that I am, that everything that occurs in my life, because of the decision I have made about who and what I am, must therefore be a part of the path I chose to be — not an interruption in it — therefore, this circumstance somehow, even though I don’t intellectually know how, must serve me in a positive way — Oh, joy! Oh, joy! The unexpected has happened! Now I am giving myself a wonderful surprise — I wonder what it will be?” So now, perhaps your demeanor is a little more calm and a little bit more ecstatic and you begin to ponder all the positive reasons why you might have missed that train — knowing you did your best to get there. And as you are pondering, you stand on the platform a little longer than you might have had you gone stomping off in anger. Suddenly, you feel a tap on your shoulder and
you turn around. Low and behold, a friend that you have not seen in 10 years and who has just gotten off the train you missed, is standing there and he tells you that he was just coming in to town to surprise you. And, he turns out to be someone who actually serves what you want to do better than the person you were originally taking the train to meet. “Now I understand why I missed the train, so I wouldn’t miss you! Because you, my friend, actually represent more precisely and more realistically the path I chose to be
and the service I can provide in life.”

Too good to be true? “Oh, that’s just a coincidence — what a fairy tale — life isn’t like that!” Oh, yes it is! Life works exactly that way when you let it! Because everything is connected to everything else. Synchronicity — coincidence — not accident. Co-incidence is actually a simultaneously manifesting incident. It doesn’t mean it’s an accident; it simply means they are parallel, tandem, interactive. You have built into you all of the vibrations of all the possible and probable realities you could ever experience in your life. The vibration, the emotional vibration that you are at any given moment utterly determines which of those probable realities you manifest into physical experience. You are holographic in nature,
holographic in structure, which simply means that every point and every place, contains the ability to manifest any part of the whole, at any time, anywhere. The vibration you are utterly determines which aspect of the holographic whole you experience to be your physical reality. Positive in...positive out. Negative in...negative out.

"This appears to poetically sumerize the excerpt":

Your imagination is the library of all the things that could be and that simultaneously are existent within you. Your imagination is the template, the blueprint for all the probable realities you could manifest. Emotion is the activation switch for the blueprint of your imagination. Your emotion determines which of those particular blueprints, which of those particular templates will be brought into manifestation. If you have positive emotion, excitement, joy, strong desire and ecstasy, you activate the positive blueprints. If you have fear, doubt, guilt, judgments, that’s what activates the negative blueprints. It is as simple as that. It is simple physics — simple mechanics.

www.bashar.org/about/mechanics.html

Inspired from kristalina's blog

I have two questions that may involve paradoxes:

Being empaths and feeling every little underlying current, if this interpretation is real, do we create unpleasant realities for ourselves because the world appears unsafe and changing?

Where does the notion of karma kicks in?

Entering into the fullness of the love that you are

forrest — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 07:22:19 GMT

Your unique energetic configuration informs you of the unfoldment of your Self within form. A complete embrace of all that is delivered to your awareness presents the availability of the true resources of being that are yours and that are expressions of love for every facet of yourself.

The invitation to bring forth into illuminated awareness all that is yours, all that has been held or carried into ripeness, and is desiring to reside in the acceptance of the entirety of your beingness, to join in the aliveness of your unique movement into wholeness, is an inexhaustible gift that extends from the infinite present.

The awareness of the availability of this choice lies within your willingness to move into the direct knowingness of all that you are and to confront and embrace the arrival of intensity in all of it’s manifestations, to live in the direct encounter of the unkown, and abide in the movement of discovery and expression that lies beyond the reach of learning but is upon you now.

LIfe's lessons, gifts, and when things come crashing....

ShekinahLove — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:46:17 GMT

Hello Everyone! Its been a long time since I posted on here! I just returned to the San Francisco Bay Area after a year and 7 months in Syracuse, NY staying with my grandmother. It was in some ways a very hard time for me....but in other ways very easy....I didnt have to pay rent. I was staying with family and fairly comfortable at home. I formed a closer relationship with my grandmother, and she even accepted me being gay, which she had literally openly reviled in the past. She even drove me to the drag shows I was performing in, with her older sister!
So it was amazing. I had a chance to connect with other family members and make some new friends.....and very importantly, work and save some money, preparing myself to move back here to the Bay, where I had left, due to financial instability/struggle. Now Im back in the bay area, and the problem isnt having the money itself....but its my job. My job in Syracuse transferred me to a location they have in San Frnacisco. I thought it would be great! I got a promotion, and a raise all in one! I became a manager....so there would be more responsibility, which looks great on my resume for the future as well! My plan was to come, transfer with the job, work at it fulltime (its retail) and do massage part time on my days off. But....now that Im a couple weeks into the new job, Ive come to decide I really extremely dislike it...mostly because I feel the manager doesnt communicate and doesnt give us the proper training. Between that and the fact that I havent found a place to live yet and am staying with friends, so I dont really have a space to truly unwind, and relax/release.
Its very stressful. I found myself at work getting so nauseous and uncomfortable I wanted to throw up. Several times I considered just walking out..but then Id be back to where I was before....struggling with no job, only a couple massage clients, at the mercy of friends or kind people who let me stay with them for a time, in trade for massage or housework.
I dont want to do that anymore, but I also cant continue the way I am now....the job is making me physically/emotionally/psychically/spiritually ill. Ive allowed it to overcome me....and its a very dark scary feeling.
So...I decided last night Im going to go get my city Massage Permit ASAP and go look for a massage job, where I can practice massage, and energywork....it will be more physically demanding but much more rewarding, and no manager bossing me around. Even working for someone else, all I need to do, is abide by the health laws, and policies of the establishment, and do what I do best!
A win-win sitaution! Plus I can work part time, and make around the same amount of money i do in retail fulltime, if not more.....
What do you folks think?
I know the economy isnt looking that great to most people, but is retail really more secure than the healing arts?
Im thinking I need to do this for my sanity. On top of it all, myself and my boss are BOTH Pisces! I feel his emotions VERY strongly and thats the main reason I start to feel ill at work. Ive tried flower essences and kava....perhaps I need to start carrying some obsidian stones or wearing hematite. I know If I start to meditate more it will help as well...but Im really not sure of the right decision here...in any case it would be at least another month before Id have a massage job so Id hafta stick with this one until then...as I simply cant afford to leave....I need to move into a place asap.
Any advice?
