What would cause you to question your baselines?

Human beings seek to feel grounded in what they think they already know.  They find reasons to accept what they have been told about situations and abilities that enable them to feel comfortable.  What would cause you to question the origin and accuracy of your beliefs? Have any experiences altered how you view yourself and what is possible?

Consider Daniel Pinchbeck's book, 2012: The Year of he Mayan Prophecy.  This work offers perspectives to assist readers come to their own conclusions about 'synchonicities,' prophecies  and other psychic phenomena.  Scientists and philosophers disagree about explanations and the intrinsic value of sixth sense experiences.  Would a discussion with sceptical people influence your own view?

Dean Radin, director of the Consciousness Reseaerch Laboratory at the University of Nevada, has conducted and documented thousands of experiments in telepathy, precogniton and clairvoyance.  His book, The Conscious Universe: Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena indicates his tests fulfill the requirements of verifiability and repeatability and can also be measured. If you participated in such an experiment, and you were given proof of deceased loved ones, would that influence your beliefs?

Pinchbeck also noticed changes in his dream experiences after a journey in Gabon, Africa where he was initiated into the iboga cult of the Bwiti.  After that trip, his inner self transformed.  He noticed he would often dream of people he knew had already died.  The deceased seemed lost and looking fo advice.  His dream self acted as a shamanic guide to calm and orient the spirits to another place in the underworld. Although he acknowledges modern opinion would be that he was making this up or projecting, his intuition convinced him he was meeting with spirits.  This said, he realizes his evolving beliefs do not follow any rational framework for the afterlife. 

These examples invite you to query what causes you to suppress and dismiss information about 'the unexplained?' Are you convinced you dream it all up? Or, do you have reason to think differently?

Work through your defenses

It may be said that the over-reaching goal of the soul is for its consciousness to master the nature of ego.  This may be understood as learning to detach from influence of the lower self.  The ego and lower self keep you grounded in lower enegy levels you don't need.

At a given moment, people only function at the level of awareness they're at. You aren't expected to be on the same wavelength as everyone.  In fact, based on your current perception, this won't happen in your sense of the physical world. You are however, meant to cease comparing and judging and to learn to accept wider responsibilities.

To get past your denial system would represent a new level of progress.  Each step means you are raising your conscious awareness. Denial is a technique you use to prevent you from getting-to know your authentic self.  Its impossible for you to measure the extent of your awareness because you limit yourself based on what you think you know now. 

What  matters is your sense of growth.  More direction exist that youcurrently perceive or even imagine.  The direction and extent of growth doesn't matter.   You may think a person cannot change what isn't seen.  That isn't exactly true.  What you permit yourself to see is what you see.  This changes as you choose to work through  your own defenses.

Getting closer all the time

In order for human beings to discern the nature of their power and use it well, they must become empty. What does this mean? You may be invited to prepare to become a channel. Energy must flow smoothly before you can use this power effectively.

More specifically, human beings must be free of resentments, guilt, shame, anger, self pity and fear. If you harbour such feelings, you will not be a receptive channel. Stagnant feelings block humans from recognizing and tapping into deep, inner power.

The cleaner your soul is, the more power you sense and the more energy you will channel.  Only as you dissolve your negative energy and illusions can you raise vibration and connect to others in ways that are otherwise out of reach.

You may ask, 'why would I want to do this?' or, 'doesn't this seem a bit bizarre?' A sense of inner logic guides self-acceptance in ways that aren't always aligned with external views. Do what feels right, what feels good.  You already know where you're headed.  Just go.

Do you dare embrace the truth?

Human existence means different things to different people.  Souls acknowledge different levels of perception.  That you are aware of certain things about yourself serves your agenda.  That explains why you choose to be as aware as you are (or not) right now.

Any connection you feel to the supernatural is what you are currently willing to sense and accept. Paranormal suggests "different" than normal.  What is your view of 'normal?' If you tap into your dormant, heightened sensitivites, your overall experiences expands.   

Believe it or not, most everyone can expand their senses. Some humans shy away or fear their own potential.  Other humans just don't choose to use it.  Yet, all people who consciously experience their own hidden truth experience it in very personalized forms.

Many ways of being, sensing and discerning mean many kinds of existence are themselves constantly expanding, changing and transforming. Those human beings who choose to transform evolve to sense they feel a bit like a kaleidoscope in motion. 

Imagine yourself like a perpetually-growing, underwater reef with ever-changing colors and textures and components.  Do you dare embrace the truth beyond? Do you choose to read about magical creatures or stretch your perception to interact with them directly?

Before you start to awaken the sceptic within, you might consider a different approach.  From the moment you take responsibility for your perception, you begin to step outside the confines created by everyone else.  Choose to discover the universe's playground.

Discern blessings in disguise

Imagine you start to realize that how you are thinking and behaving no longer reflects who you really are. Maybe something just doesn't feel right anymore. Maybe you simply think differently. Whether or not you realize it, this is a blessing in disguise.

Its easy to recognize you are constantly growing and changing physically. At the same time, your mental awareness is stretching at its own pace. As you become more discerning, your impulses and intuition seem to point you in new directions because you're becoming more attuned to them.  How do you know if your instinct is right on?

Rather than focus energy on thoughts about what isn't working, spend energy on what is. For instance, if it feels right to practice some sport or skill, do that. If you notice you're improving in some area of your life, then focus more on that.  If your appetite is growing or shrinking due to  activity, listen to the messages and eat accordingly.

If your gut tells you to seek advice, do it. If newly-discovered talent is getting you attention and work opportunities, then concentrate on that. Whatever generates positive developments in your life is a meaningful direction to take.

Similarly, if you sense you no longer relate to the behavior of people you have known, gradually create distance. If spending time in a particuar setting evokes negaive feelings, stop going or at least minimize the period you spend there.

If you no longer feel good about some of your eating habits or leisure activities, then its your prerogative to make different decisions. To stop doing those things that evoke negative feelings is a step toward shifting focus to transform your mindset and action.

Choosing to view everything as a blessing in disguise means you realize you have a choice about how to live your life.  You can decide everything that happens is sending you positive, subliminal messages. After all, what motivated you to get out of bed every day?
