La! what a day. I'm in a minor tizzy from some intense people-interaction, and just need to calm down. As usual, I'm a little like a mushroom, and absorb all the energy around me. I forgot to shield myself. Some shaman!
Speaking of which..ie your comment that you didn't know what to do with the journeying skill.
I think of a classic Shaman as a part of a community. The skill set, to me, is an ability to Connect in the Subtle Realm...and bring back information to be USED in a community.
A person like me, 'shamanistic', brings back info and guidance from various levels of consciousness too, but more personal, creative uses for day to day living: Skills and infomation. A 'practical mystic', if you will, and drumming isn't always involved!.
I have always had that Connection, and used it to pass tests in school, find out what my pets needed, safety, finding things., etc.
Gradually, a body of negative emotion replaced the creativity, and ruined my Trust in the inner giuidance. So, it's mighty encouraging that you are helping me to BELIEVE that I can shift, as you say...'cause I've been feeling mighty stuck! That's my job now, I think. I need to shift back to that ease I had, and to trust again. So, I WILL be reading the transurfing book, and Quantum Living sounds facinating!
In the meantime, I 'm getting channelled images that hold a lot of 'shamanistic' power, ie an incoming Energy that makes a working image 'more' than a thought up one. They seem to work much better to negate negative emotion, for instance.
You mentioned that you are aware of your guides..Do you think they could be a connection to practical problem solving.for you? What was your experience with them?More later, Maia
PS You didn't ruin anything at EW for me :-) Do you remember the name of the thread?? Maybe I got miffed for nothing. Altho, it IS awful boring over there!
Re: useful sites. Hmmm. I joined EW first and the Abraham-Hicks about 5 minutes later! Then Switchwords. I've read three of the Abe books, not sure if you've read them? I've read a couple,but there's TONS of Abe material out there, what with 10 years of so of books, tapes, transcripts of lectures, etc., and there're alot of additional quotes that I appreciate. I do notice that theres's a certain synchronicity in 'finding' the quotes personally meaningful in the moment. And I don't have a fortune to spend on the hard copy material! For that reason alone, I visit regularly. BUT...
As far as discussion goes, none are broad enough for me. Their site, like EW, is pretty focused down on JUST Abe's ideas and 'vocabulary', (tho I do admit, Abe is ALMOST complete as an approach!) But, I'd much rather have a more open discussion about other focus's/experiences/authors that are related to Abe/ Mainly because my own experience is so heavy on personal Guidance, shamanismistic experiences, and I've been inwardly guided to things like Faeryfaith Witchcraft, Native American voices, and Huna.
I guess, like you, I'll be insisting on my own approach, so will remain fairly quiet on all these sites, since I sense a real disapproval of saying anything non-Abe, non-EW, etc. (Did you notice that we've been 'erased' over at EW? I'm gone..hruumph.I've decided not to be outraged...but I'm at least MIFFED! :-))) (Poof..I'm over it!) (hey! Poof is a good switchword!)
The whole point of working for positive thought/intentions/manifestation is to LEARN to stay open inwardly, non-judgemental, and develop one's own Connection to information. Personal creativity/inner connection is neatly shut down when there's no willingness to 'Hear' others' experiences through one's own Inner Guidance-filter, to recognize what is useful to one's own path. Is this a RANT?! Uh-oh. I'm preaching to the converted, too..! :-))
Interesting! about the transurfing Life Tracks...It reminds me of the shamanic process of soul fragment retreval, but maybe more Actively looking for the positive aspects of one's Self, rather than re-integrating the 'lost'? I totally understand the shamanistic view, how I left behind certain aspects of myself 'outside crying':
I remember being originally focused on being so GLAD to be here! The first words I remember 'aiming' at my guide was after looking at a sunset through trees, hearing crickets, and thinking at him, "It's so good to be back!" I was three, a really good age!! :-))
Then, I lost that independent focus, like we all do, I guess... being concerned about 'earning' the love of my parents. The Guide: "It's best just to go on, ...WE'RE your Family, you know. If you [focus??] on them, they'll break your heart." Well, THERE'S a core memory for you! (And THE alternate Life Path to pick up again!..Epiphany!! ) Then, though, I wanted both, couldn't understand why I had to choose, and left a large part of that, by that time, adolescent girl behind. Plus a major part of my feelings of safety, a sobering thought.
"Professional channeller" ? Nah. I did do 'readings' once, for a short while...Drove me right up a wall! I wasn't ready emotionally, I think. Now, I consider the whole complex of 'things I experience'/ Subtle Reality' to be skills that I was meant to discover and perfect in the interest of living from the Center, or High Self. "Shamanistic", rather than bing a Shaman, you see.
Do you belong to any other sites, here? I've been following Abraham, but haven't seen you yet, except at EW.. This correspondence is a lot more relaxing for me, though. I still feel somewhat self conscious because of having a slightly different 'take' on things. :-)) Tsk tsk.
Hope you have had 'a shiny day'!..as a Phillipino friend of mine says in her fractured English! Much Love, Maia
Sooooo glad you used the word 'challenge' with re to finding those positive emotions! Very reassuring! :))
Yesterday was very good..I picked up some watercolors and did a bit of sketching...they turned out simply awful, but I felt wonderful! Haven't painted in awhile, 'Closed for Repairs', so to speak.
Today has been a deep ditch. Does this sound a bit familiar?? : )) I've been following your good advice today, but I keep getting thrown out. Guess this is normal in the beginning! I know it's nobody else's 'fault' (BIG quotes, there!), 'cause there's nobody else AROUND here. Solitude is forcing me to center and RE-center on the 'real stuff', though, which is a good thing.
I did find a 'core memory', a fork in the road decision, a couple of days ago, and my channelling/guidance tells me that I need to just LOOK at it, rather than get drawn into the drama and get outraged...my usual big naive mistake! (How daaaare you!! Why I oughtta..!!") Just 'Drop' it and move right into a pre-paved positive state coupled with new intent..
But so far,it's taking only a few minutes to slip back into the muddy place. Hmmm. Do you think this is because I haven't made a firm enough decision?? I think I just need practice! And,a re-deciding...DO I really want to be happy? I think I'm going to Alpha the whole thing, as far as the steps just mentioned,, and add a trigger phrase...Hmmm..."Allow! New Direction" might be a good thing.
Read something on a site re Switch Words: a caveat by the author of the book they're using NOT to use one word too much. Evidently, they 'wear out'! Could that be why you find a lessening effect with EW somtimes?! It's to ponder...
Love,M.
Re: "remembering dreams"... Easy-peasy...I'm a channeller, a Recptive with a capital 'R'...and I it works against me at this point, because I stay in that 'mode' too much, finding it so easy. "How's it working?" I'm thinking it WON'T until I become more Active-mode in general, rather than just the 'catcher of dreams', clearer of bad memories. I tend to make things more complicated so that I can 'understand'. then slack off the Work needed to move forward! So, what you're saying makes much sense, and I need to hear it, ie., "If I want results, I really have to feel it."
You're actually up-holding my channelled Guidance! Listen..."The point, and your 'assignment', now, is to establish FIRM direction towards the positive, what your High Self IS, and you are Becoming. By way of LOA, the 'trick' is to BE with your positive thoughts, and keep CHOOSING that SET of thoughts....and emotions. "Let it Be for now" will not do anymore, you see? " unquote.
I just have to stop getting all in love with 'clearing memories and acquiring Inner Tools, and...Like the Nike commercial: Just Do it! :)) It goes on to tell me I WILL find 'rocks'/bad stuff, and to recognize them, but let the emotions quiet down, LET GO of "the whole complex, then 'Clarify', 'Drop' then 'Swivel' (to EW or like)...It's the last I need to concentrate on, of course.
So...What with channelling and you, I'm understanding I need to REACH for those emotions, and not peter out before I can find them. I'm sounding maybe too harsh on myself, but on the bright side, I'm thinking I just need to be firm to break some old UN-fun habits...like CONSTANTLY focusing on the drama! Much Love, Maia
Question...what do you mean when you say 'shifting btween different life tracks, and other selves' lives??
PS..You're really helping me to deside to push forward..Thank you!
Read in the Carpenter book that repetition is one of the main things one needs to do to re-program the 'genie'/subconscious,so I wouldn't worry about doing it as many times as needed. One of my worst things is waking up nasty..all the fears and worries stuck right in that vulnerable hypnogogic state. It happened this morning, and I must've repeaed Easy World with finger trrigger about fifty times. But it worked!
Also, another person I'm writing to said he found this:Abe says Alpha simply lowers resistence...Well, Well, I can certainly use THAT!! Luv, M.
