I just want to know if I'm doing the right thing in my life right now in regards to a certain person. If I explained it, it wouldn't seem like a big deal, but it is a big deal to me.
Ask yourself. Look in your heart, ask, why am I feeling this for this person, do they genuinely care for me, etc. Your spirit guides only advise, they don't tell you the future, and they are part of you, so the same advice you'd get from the bottom of your heart is the same as they'd give you.
Even if it turn out to be a bad choice and experience, at least you could learn from that eh? Then it wouldn't be a 'wrong' thing would it. Right and wrong are kinda irrelevant.,- you could see your choices more in terms of wise and unwise, however if you are a totally surrendered and free being, then it wouldn't matter either way, it wouldn't make a difference because you'd recognise everyone as yourself anyway.
Zengizmo you are are right about me having a control issue. I have a hard time letting things be how they are. But there are somethings that I do have control over, so it is wrong for me to worry over those things? I have tried since starting this thread to contact my spirit guides. The problem is I can't tell if it's them or me. People say they hear a voice in their head, I can't tell if it's mine or my own thoughts. People say they feel their spirit guide touching them, how do I know it's not my brain causing that sensation because I'm expecting it? I guess I just don't know how to tell FOR CERTAIN I've actually met them or not.
hey u sound like u gots a problem! whenever i gots a problem i just try to think it through and find the best solution and try my best follow that solution. i really dont think trying to summon spirits will help your problem any. and if you want any kind of success in your life, your the one thats gonna make it happen, not a spirit or a ghost. and i hope you dont take my advice offensively but when you start getting older, people in the real world are gonna start to think your nuts if you keep on trying to talk to ghosts.
Just like people thought it was nuts for the Earth to be round. MN, i think most of us had that problem right at the start. I hate to condone it (but not really), but if you're 420 friendly, it might be easier after a few bowls. Just sit down, meditate for a while, focus on meeting your spirit guides, ask them to come to you. Ask them to touch you, in a way that you and them only will know. At first I thought I was going nuts, but over time, I've learned to discern mundane sensations from those not-so-mundane. You might hear words in your ears, thoughts in your head, or just have a sudden image flash, but you'll get to know when they speak with you. If you have a hard time telling what sort of feeling or touch they give you, ask again and again until you get the same one and are able to tell where it is, for me I get a sensation of warmth all up my inner legs, but when I first tried to contact them, I got so frustrated. I was convinced I was only feeling/hearing it because I was crazy or my mind was doing it. Perhaps it's not the time they've chosen to come to you, or you need to learn/experience something first. Either way, they're with you
You've heard everything you need to hear, MysteriousNight. Now you need to confront the resistance within yourself. Nobody can do this for you - you're the only one who can. If you don't do it, nobody will. The hardest task we're given is to change ourselves. Believe me, I know, MN. There is nothing harder. You see you have a control issue. What are you going to do about it? It might not happen overnight...then again, it might...
Sadly, neither do i mutch of the time. I don't think many people know how to surrender and be free ... how to give up control and not be afraid ... how to stop judging as good or bad and just take everything as it is. Surrendered and free just means being content with what is, even to feel joy in the midst of what may seem a dire situation. It's like dying, ... when you die you have to let go of everything; no more trying to be in control of your life, no more worrying about it, you realise you just need to leave life alone, to just let it be and not mess with it. You realise that your happiness or sense of who you are is not dependent anymore on whether you are with this person or that person, or if you succeed or fail in your life, or even if you live or die ... it just doesn't matter anymore because you've found the one thing of any real worth to you ... you found your true self and the peace that brings. You don't need to impress or be impressed anymore, you don't need to pretend or hide away anymore, and you don't need any of this from others either, because in finding your true self, you found the true everyone else too. I guess that's my definition of totally surrendered and free, and for a while some years ago that was indeed my reality. Slowly i forgot about it as egoic conciousness and that 'need to be someone' came back in. But i do know it's the most real thing there is and that i am remembering that again. But mysterious night, if that all seems a little alien and strange, just find out what is most important to you in life.
ooops! i didnt realize i was being such an ignorant prick! my bad! yeah, your suggestion is much better. yes, when you have a problem, doing drugs and trying to contact your ghost friends is a much better route than logically facing the problem. duh! how could i have not seen that?
Are you just here to troll? I'm not saying doing drugs is a good thing, I'm saying smoking pot, which is only benificial - so long as you havn't got any irregular health issues or problems with it - helps to raise spiritual awareness. I don't even know why you're in this thread, let alone forum, if you're only here to tell us how dumb we are.
I guess I'm still not sure about "letting go" and what that process means or how to even start. This is why I feel like I need spiritual guidance NOW because my thoughts are all cluttered and I don't know how to even being to "let go".
Letting go is just being content with what is. Letting the way things are be as they are. It doesn't mean you can't do anything about the way things are and help change your outer circumstances, it just means understanding that the present moment ...which is the only time you ever have to experience life, cannot be anything other than it is, so accept it and in doing so that mental resistance to it which is what is messing with your head right now, lessens and maybe even dissappears. In an hours time the situation may change, or tommorow, or next week, next year; but this moment right now cannot be any other way. We can't live to find our happiness or wholeness or contentedness in the future, because our experience only happens now ... so why not make it a better experience by accepting it because it is our mental resistance to now ie, wishing for a better now, a better present moment ... but that's impossible because things are as they are so the only way to be happy or at least content with it is to stop expecting those outer circumstances in our life, the circumstances of right now to make us happy. Even if they do it won't last forever. Stop waiting to be happy or content or relying on relationships to make you so. Be happy or content now, whether in a relationshiop or not. Your mind is telling you, you need this and that or need to be this or that to be loved and accepted, respected ect ... but it's bollocks, or rather it's secondary to what is really important which is just accepting that who you are right now needs nothing to find fulfillment. Sorry i'm rushed i gotta go
I wanted to tell you all thank you. I've taken all your advice into consideration and I really feel like I've actually been able to give up control and just live! Things have been working out great! As for contacting my spirit guides...not yet, but I guess it will happen when the time is right.
At 28 you've probably been exposed to a lot more clouding of the 3rd Eye than other, younger members, like myself. Meditate, Attract, Acheive. You might also consider asking yourself, Why do you need to contact them? Is it simply to prove they exist? To talk to them? To ask them to do your bidding? It really makes a difference.
i dont know how to contact your spirit guide, but i wish you luck, and please pm me if you are successfull, but if you want help with your problems, you can pm me, ill do my best to help and i dont judge about anything, anything i can do to help, im hear -huggles-
Well, ... there is a way to actively seek communication with your guides and that is the shamanic journey. Google it, buy a book about it and maybe attend a workshop. There are shamanic people everywhere so seek them out and learn. It's actually very simple and easy to do.
