My newly discovered paranormality

[arabella]

Especially now there are powers, that want to mould a persons "sense of self" in their own image.
Especially commercial, shallow materialist interests, that have an agenda pushing a false sense of self.
I fear most people, especially the young now, have no real authentic sense of self. It is drowned out and or erased by this false self that they think they are. All put there by ads and illusions, ego fuelled fantasies that are the creation of marketing, and "lifestyle" devils.
So a real sense of self is a damn sight harder than it sounds.

At least this tells us something about confusing "self" with "selfish." The true self expresses itself through realisation of the finest qualities within us centred on an instinct to serve mankind. The basis of character is formed as a child, before the age of six. But the possibility of refining our self is with us until the day we die.

There is almost a spiritual genocide going on worldwide, under our very noses.
Like most genocides the world does not realise until too late.

What is being murdered is our sense of the unselfulfish self. That does not sit well with the new cult of "I" which is trying to take over the world.

Ads are being made for children as young as 4, "pester power" is a cool and respectable marketing ploy.

The young are the primary victims. A true massacre of the innocents. Right where it really hurts. In the soul.

This evil strategy is designed to eliminate the unselfish, collectivist sense of self, and replace it with lonely, isolated, materialist "I" where new cars and a better mobile, compensate for light, love, knowledge and true empowerment.

Where a "good" credit rating is way more important than a good character.

Rant over.

it's interesting tha arabella mentioned that self is shown until the age of six. in my case my mom told me i was a very unselfish, loving, extremely popular girl, and then it changed. The medium told me I lost myself around this age...makes you think, eh? I wanteed to return to myself badly for the several month, and may be my intuition heightened as a result of my desire to access my true self?

Somewhere in your subconscious is memory of the event that changed you. You may have to be extremely brave to remember just what that was but, if you can, you will have discovered where "you" disappeared and this mask took over. It's worth doing, but not the easiest exercise in the world. I'd suggest, as a starting place, taking the time to write out all the things from your childhood that suggested to you that your feelings don't matter. Somewhere beneath that pile-up of misinformation is the key to what is bothering you and getting in the way of knowing how you truly feel and what you really want.

I completely agree with you and i very much like the way you say it, but you have to agree with me, love light knowledge and true empowerment do not compensate for dinner, so the middle way is always the best. the best of the two worlds ( as yi advices )

and the number of digits on credit card does count. a man without money is like a fish without water. i know this firsthand.

 

[simon ian]

That is very true. :bows:
But this essential but rather grubby tool is elevated to a deity in the world increasingly. Wood and trees.

Arabella, thanks for sugestion! In my case though i already know what are the facts, i do not need to go far back, I realize what happened, so now I'm re-training myself to more normal ways

I did some reading yesterday and it seems that I have empathy/telepathy abilities of some sort. So far i act as a receiver. I'd like to act as a transmitter too, so things will finally start happening for me my way Any suggestions?

Well, in that case cutiecat, I'd recommend you find a hero/heroine or two and follow their footsteps to whatever way you want to be. Just realise you are the creator of your own existence and what you visualise, stand next to, and move toward on a consistent basis, is what you will become. It's about entrainment and resonnance -- both literally and figuratively.

 

[cutiecat]

yep, thats what one guy from israel told me...write things down and visualize and be prepared for them to come true....thanks a lot Arabella!

 

[gato]

ohh, how much i wish to be that simple...

 

[cutiecat]

i always believed that you strongly wish for something it will happen, writing it down just make it easier to materialize. yes it is that easy i think

the complicated part is the tiny footnotes you don't see

 

[cutiecat]

it's funny how I also believed in certain things and shared it with people only to hear again and again how they bring me down What does it say about people I wonder?

 

[arabella]

Positive affirmation is an amazing thing and it works wonders. And the reverse is also true. So it's obvious which one we should choose!

When I was a child of four my mother went into the hospital for a serious illness and out of nowhere, I started wetting the bed. Horrifying -- and no matter how much willpower I put into it, I couldn't stop. I remember sitting in the hospital waiting room feeling really worried and confused about what had happened, thinking that the world was falling apart and a doctor walked by and sat down to talk to me. He asked what was the matter and I told him my mother might die and it was my fault because I had been wetting the bed. And he told me my mother would recover and asked when my next birthday was, which happened to be quite soon. And he said that once I turned five I'd never wet the bed again. And I didn't. At the time I thought MAGIC. As an adult I realise it was all about belief, trust and positive affirmation. Good stuff.

 

[cutiecat]

what an amazing story! thank you!

I'm skeptical of people who say that they can turn-on their intuition at will.

I've had a few experiences with intuition. They all came unbidden and were about mudane subjects. I had one very intense experience which gave me just a bit of information. I subsequently went about trying to decipher the meaning and I failed utterly. In no way did I perceive what was actually happening around me, which was indeed related to the intuitive experience but did not match up with my failed interpretation. This thing confirmed my inuition but not in the way I expected.

I think intuition provides us with little bits of information on a need to know basis. The problems arise when we try to interpret it. I learned the hard way that you just need to accept the information as is.

Intuition is like any personal ability. A few people have extraordinary ability, and the rest have some, little, or none. The capability of the person you met was probably, by the law of averages, average.

This is a skill we will rely on very heavily in the next world as a primary means of communication. But it's development here in this world is based upon the honing of spiritual qualities, not on using intuiion outright. That we know intuition exists and features in the life of the human soul is interesting and gives us a taste of the wonders we have to look forward to. However, if we try to rely upon that infant skill in this world, we wil be very disappointed. We are supposed to be making good decisions based upon prayer, meditation and striving for internal balance, not upon best-guess technology. I see no reason to damn intuition as something bad, but it certainly isn't a commodity that is primary to making good decisions in the here and now, and those belief systems that warn against using it are addressing its limitations because using intuition as a primary tool will quite often land you in the muck.

 

[cutiecat]

See, here my experience is quite different. I was most successful when relied strictly on my intuition in decision making. I think the most successful people in business, science or other areas are the one that are very much in touch with their gut feeling. Reason has only limited capabilities and facts, while intuition is based on your survival instict. In my case my gut feeling saved my life couple times, amd allowed me to make pretty unordinary steps that later on proved to be the best.

The problems with intuition is that sometimes it hard to hear, or to discern from fear...For me anyways...

I'm absolutely positive that many famous people are the ones who were not afraid to listen to their intuition and act on it.

I do trust my intuition. However, as I said above, I'm not too good at interpreting its exact meaning, about filling in detail. In the case I mentioned I had a "knowing" that something would happen. Then, I set about building scenarios in my mind about what would take place. Who, what, where, when. I was totally wrong. Something did happen but it happened in a way that I never could have imagined and when it did, I slowly began to understand the very small bit of information I had been given.

 

[arabella]

General gut feeling and detailed intuition about how to make serious life decisions are entirely different matters. Wherever a business person is making a "gut" decision, he/she is also working from a myriad of experience and background information, not just some flash of random insight.

 

[cutiecat]

true, agree.
