During a time of upheaval I moved, After a long day I was exhausted and laid on the sofa. I was in shock too I think. The phone rang, but I was too tired and discouraged to move. I heard my outgoing message, and then I heard a long message of the most celestial and beautiful music I had ever heard.
There was no person, just the music, which filled me with peace and love. I felt it was a gift.
@ghandigirl, thank you for sharing your experience. It's really beautiful. It brightened my day on this gray, rainy morning.
These posts are just wonderful. I love all the ways you guys detect energy and people on the other side. Events that are about to happen. people who are going to pass.
A close relative of mine lost her husband recently. After weeks of being in shock, and finally starting to take in to her psyche, what had transpired, she said that his passing was the most profound experience she had ever had. Don’t get me wrong. She loved him and misses him, and he is only beginning to understand how much she misses him.But she said she felt transported at the moment of his passing, like some thing, bigger than us, greater than us was happening.
A teacher one said to me that the body is the placenta for the spirit. In that way, a death is momentous, and as momentous as a birth.
So it is not surprising, @lovendures, that you would hear such powerful music when someone is about to pass.
First up, I love these posts and that this space exists for us to share them. I was texting a few people about the idea of Transcendence" and how you actually do it. Should you even want to? I am keen on it as it's my Summer Theme. Usually, I have a summer theme ...like "more swimming in the Pacific Ocean" but this seemed like a good thing, given that there is so much we need to transcend these days. So, folks shared stories. Good ones. But they are those "big walk in the forest of 2000 year old trees and you feel a deep connection that is bigger than yourself" stories, or you have a moment when you really do see something you can only call an angel cause it's bright and looks well, like an angel. I am working on a more mundane version of Transcendence. There are things in our lives, some are baked in, some are the unfolding of consequences and others, for whatever reason, are things we can't move out of our lives but must bear. Or can't bear to live without. Some are profound, most tedious and I'm trying to insert that pause between thought and action... BLAH BLAH you know all the mediation techniques I know but do not use. Or not use enough. But i don't know if there's a way to avoid feelings that come with living this life and if that's even a goal of the process. So right now it seems mediation once a day and group events like COL will help deepen this ability maybe to feel but to now become trapped in our own intuition. So maybe it's not that you're not transcending To Something but really Away From Things... shooting high and away from old ways of feeling and being that cause pain but no illumination toward those that do. Happy 4th of July Weekend!
Hi Jeanne, just saw your post about transcendence and it's so lovely and full. I've had a couple of vivid experiences during meditation, but they didn't involve people, just a blast of bright blue and a wonderful feeling of floating that lasted for several minutes. Once, when I was meditating, a door slammed and when I opened my eyes I didn't who I was. I was just "there" with no form.
I've stumbled over the idea of one soul vacating the body in order to "channel" another soul. Your description of spirit talking to your soul and you conveying this information to others makes more sense, but correct me if you had a different experience. "Mediumship" seems contrived to me, but maybe it's because I've misunderstood the term?
@kathleen-m Thank you for what you wrote. I am glad my words resonated with you!
I have been thinking about what it means to have a higher level of consciousness if we are to survive the new climate. What can help me to be present, to remain in a kind state of mind, to help others in these times? Especially when so many people around us are vibrating in anxiety, the new psychological term being "eco anxiety". Whatever the psychological term may be, climate change is a scary developing reality for all of us.
So how do we do that? Raise our vibration and consciousness in times of climate change?
I guess I raise my vibration by traveling to my home in the mountains of Portugal, in Europe. Where I tune into the vibration of nature, the trees, the river, the animals around me, the wind, the sounds of insects. I then lose my sense of time, I lose the need to be productive, and my whole organism calms down and recovers its energy. When I connect to nature and feel part of it my vibration rises and I feel part of something old, wise, spiritual, never-ending. I relax and become as present as nature itself is. My trust returns to me when I take my rest in nature.
This connection helps me cope with my fear of climate change. The extreme heat and pending fires we experience in the mountains of Portugal don't terrify as much as they did before because, after the devastating fire of august 8th 2022 when the whole natural park where my mountain home is situated burnt down, the people in the mountain village have adapted. We faced it and saw how bad things can become. We know now that fire is inevitable in the rising climate heat, but by adapting the village lake and turning it into a water helicopter landing base to collect water, and placing look out posts to guard against fire, our sense of being able to survive, that we can make it, has grown.
What I am trying to say is, I think that connecting to nature helps to raise our vibration, and consciousness because we are nature. To disconnect from nature is like unplugging ourselves from the source. Despite the extremes of climate change and the fear it gives us, nature is our habitat and by connecting to it we see it, hear it, know it, so we can care for it and in this way contribute towards the prevention of its destruction. We are guardians of nature.
It is funny that this post showed up for me today. I have been looking at how my personal energy has been changing.
I was a wild child growing up. Always put in the woods, watching and learning about the animals around me. As I grew up and dealt with more people, I lost the natural laidback energy I had in nature. Pain, anger, angst, trauma replaced it.
So many of the animal interactions I had when I was younger, disappeared. Wild animals seems more hesitant to come near me. Since COVID and moving back to where I grew up, I have found myself craving those interactions again. And I have recognized my energy was pushing away those interactions.
Studying LOA and understanding emotions are a guide to my energy, I have been making a conscious effort to change my energy and raise my vibrations to a higher level.
The result, I have some wild animals coming up to visit me, like the turtles that live in my pond.
During my daily walk, I normally see wild rabbits and they take off running away. Last week, I was able to walk past two different rabbits (within 2 feet of them) while they sat there munching on grass.
I had another one this morning who let me walk nearby on my way to fill bird feeders at work. I had wondered if it was really a shift in my energy, until our local grouch pulled into the parking lot. The moment they pulled in, the rabbit took off running into the local woods. Before that, it had been serenely munching, to the point that I was about to walk away in the opposite direction to ensure it was left in peace.
I view these small wins of trust as a sign my vibration is rising.
I LOVE the observations you have made! They are fantastic and can enlighten us all. Thank you!
I looked over the whole of the Forum to see where to post these thoughts. I landed here. I don't even know who to tag. @jeanne-mayell, @lovendures, @Bluebelle others from Circle and other threads, but Jeanne, lovendures and Bluebelle reside in my heart so they come to mind first.
This is going to be long. Please bear with me. Probably at least two posts.
A little while back I posted a long thread that had within it words that an Entity named Lee Chang, who channeled through a woman named Jan, in Mountlake Terrace, Washington State, said to me in 1976 after my third miscarriage. She said: IF. YOU. FEAR. IT. , IT. IS. YOURS!!!
A story:
I became pregnant again some years later, but constantly worried and looked for signs of miscarriage even though the pregnancy was going wonderfully. Then one day, as I drove my eldest, who was six at the time, and my sister, who was visiting from Iowa, to Grandma’s house, we were hit HEAD ON by a drunk. Good people came and got us out of the car and into an ambulance. NONE OF US WERE HURT. My son was very quiet but when the nurse asked him how he felt he said, “My Mama always puts White Light around the car so we are fine. White Light keeps us safe.” The nurse’s eyes got really big but all she said was, “Well that was good!” and walked away a little shaken. I might add, the steering wheel on the car was pushed in so far the medics thought there had to be a very injured driver, but no, it was me, FIVE MONTHS PREGNANT who felt a push on my shoulder and somehow even though the steering wheel was now far closer to the back of the seat than the dashboard, my five-month belly was not even bruised. None of us even had a scratch. The car was totaled, the front end was compacted beyond belief, but we were safe. Perhaps it was the White Light, which I do indeed always put around my car, but I think it was more my six-year-old’s solid BELIEF that the White Light protected him (even when Mama herself was still afraid of a miscarriage). My youngest son, who turns 44 this year, was born on his due date—four months AFTER this crash.
Why am I writing about this in this Forum today? Well, I just finished reading a lot of posts and they seem very full of fearful outcomes and intense worry.
YES. There is reason to be afraid. I am not, Lee Chang was not saying, ignore it. Ignoring gets us nowhere. Anger/Hate/Violence are all vividly present in our world. They are all also fear, fear out of control and fear that is based in lies and a charismatic negativity (TFG) that is difficult to comprehend. I think of the maga folks as people who are ensorcelled, bound away from their own intelligence. People like miller and any of the other “leaders” are totally dark, filled with evil and cruelty. I am not saying ignore that, I am saying we, ourselves FEED THAT when we give in to the fears. Yes, he said there would be a “bloodbath” and yes, his followers, the worst ones, will blindly believe they need to attack and maim. Yes, we have to do all the LITERAL EARTH SOLID things we can do, be they working on campaigns, writing postcards, sending money if we can, finding local people to run for office (YAY JEANNE!!) that are NOT warped by maga. YES we have to be on the earth plane and DO TANGIBLE THINGS to offset and negate the evil, fascist momentum. That said, we, here in this Sanctum of Spirit, here, in this place of like-minded enlightened humans MUST use our INTANGIBLE skills as well. First and foremost: Acknowledge, then Transmute, then Visualize.
I totally believe t does have dementia. My Mom had dementia. She couldn’t remember yesterday but she always knew us. She could give a twenty-minute lecture on how the Synod of the Presbyterian Church worked, and not remember it 10 minutes later. She was a librarian and when I called her once a week she would tell me about the great new book she was reading. It was often a book she had read many many times, or the same book from the previous talk. Each time though, she was delighted at the story, and I delighted in her delight. Dementia comes in many variations. Hers initiated from TIAs. She always knew us, although she was confused by her great-granddaughter. She must have been continually startled when she woke up because she didn’t remember the day before, and yet, she found joy in her books, and us. Yes, some people with dementia “go away” and the body is left behind still living. Yes, I believe the soul does sometimes come in and out of the physical and “empty eyes” are all we can see. From this side! Those near death from illness can also do this—pop in and out while waiting for their best birthing into the other side. I was blessed because “empty eyes” did not happen to my mother. What t has is, I believe, is deep dish dementia and that article by the many physicians with all the boxes checked pretty much verifies it.
I also believe that Lawrence’s dream about the mother is very real and she is calling him home, a very broken and abused (and abusing) child. I have my doubts about whether he will even be coherent and cognizant by the election. Should I put that in blue? Predictions are not my forté, the emotional body is. TFG is a fractured, dark-encumbered, shattered soul. The dark that owns him at this point in time FEEDS on our fear. The steven millers FEED on our fears. WE in this community have the skills to ENVISION instead of collapsing and giving power to fear. Yet I read a whole lot of fear this morning and when I realized it was creating anger in me, I knew I had to sit down and type. Anger is fear. Fear is contagious.
