Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hi Deb - some thoughts below Deb111222 wrote: I am glad that you reminded me that these energetic forms reside strictly within the " lower astral " regions, which co-exist and overlap the physical dimension. I knew that, but needed to be reminded. This is something that confused me about Lisa's experience with the orb. It seemed to me that she had visited a " higher realm, " based on the beauty that she described. I was perplexed that an energetic form with less than " higher " intentions would reside there and try to, or even want to " escape " though the " doors. " @@ There is beauty in the lower astral. There is love and joy and trust and the twisting of these qualities as well. Like here in the physical.@@ I think of it as though these lower " thought forms " do have vibrational frequency or energy which would manifest in the fertile thought " soil " that is receptive, such as a fearful state of mind. @@ Like attracts Like @@ I question whether or not these lower " thought forms " are " intelligent " and purposely trying to " test " or " challenge " us. @@ They may or may not know. The testing will occur anyway just by virtue of what happens. @@ Unless they are residue of a physical entity (or incarnate) that is of a dominant or controlling nature, with this specific intention. In other words, if someone that we know has a hateful attitude towards us, then I can see how this could be " picked up on " in a lower astral state, and manifest itself as a nightmare or fearful astral experience. @@ This can often happen as well. It can also be another entity masquerading as that person for the purpose of terror @@ But again, I feel that we have to " allow " this to happen. We do this by giving in to our fears, or perhaps, by lack of self-esteem, feelings of unworthiness. @@ Yes Deb and when you see the game or test for what it is, it collapses, and you move on @@ It bothers me that this could happen in a state of innocence or ignorance, as you say, but I suppose this could happen when one looks " outside of one's self " for feelings of love or worthiness. @@ Innocence and ignorance are just learning platforms. The goodness and purity do not leave. @@ I suppose it makes sense that discarnate entities of the lower astral realm would be capable of a lie, if they were previously physical beings with cruel intentions. But it seems that if this were the case, that they would be in a state of transition, with strong attachments to the physical world. I believe that eventually, their consciousness would evolve to a higher state. @@ Yes on both counts. There is always an opportunity(s) for the entity to advance. As long as the fixation is hurtful towards self or others then it remains in a form of stasis. As the entity develops through opportunities it begins to lighten up so to speak . And begins to evolve.@@ I like what you say about love being an actuator of evolution out of polarity. I like what you say also about choosing what comes into your " personal space. " And I also liked what John said about the wedding ring analogy. This made sense to me. This, I understood. This brings me back to learning how to set " boundaries. " Something I have not always been so good at, but am learning more and more the importance of this in the physical world, so it would make sense that this would be necessary in the lower realms of the astral world, as well. I am not always so clear on how to do this, successfully. I like your analogy about learning how to know your environment the same way a child learns whether it is safe to touch a hot stove. It makes sense that one would have to learn the safeties of the lower astral realm, much the same way. That is interesting what you say about " not feeding it with attention " is " feeding it with unattention. " I can understand this because I have always questioned people who seem to be in denial about the negative things that happen in this physical world. As I said before, I do not deny that we are quite capable of experiencing the negative end of the spectrum. And I agree that we do not need to be controlled by our " fear " of it. This is where the idea of being able to stand back and " witness " and letting go of resistance is helpful for me. @@ Non- attachment is a virtue @@ You ask me why I begin to feel fear when people talk about negative entities taking over us. You ask if it is " loss of control. " Yes, I would say that I do have a " loss of control " issue. I have had many " controlling " people in my life, throughout my life. I believe that it is because of my lack of self-esteem and vulnerability. There are still limits to what I feel I can control. @@ This is most of the population Deb. People are not given the knowledge or the opportunities to know there true worth, much of the time. @@ For example, yesterday the eye doctor told me that he saw a weakness in my retina. I doubt there are many people who would not resist the idea of the possibility of losing their sight one day. Yet, interestingly enough, my resistance is not as high as one would think. I am tired of the responsibilities of the work world and there are many things that I have seen that I would just as soon not see, and I am tired of fighting these big battles. So, somewhere along the line I have gained a higher degree of acceptance and the state of mind where not much can surprise me anymore, which may be the very thing that saves my sight. I am ready to give up the fight of resistance. Whatever happens, happens. @@ Try pinhole glasses, and just so you understand Deb you have come to this area of existence not by accident. You have earned the flow and it will be and is coming to you and Sam and Mike if you and they choose to bring it. Part of the K is the idea of fearlessness and inner knowing and divine trust and intuitive brilliance. You have indeed fought many battles, and your character and grace are there for all to see. Blessings to you Deb. @@ But this brings up an interesting point - when is the giving up of resistance synonymous with giving up control? @@ To choose surrender is to " give " up control. Choosing is the fulcrum. When the Kundalini races through your body, sweeping the energy everywhere you " choose " to surrender to this process. With the use of discernment. When your appetites begin to change and you resist because it isnt what you normally eat, and you get sick or weak, you choose to surrender to the process. Kundalini is the ultimate mother and has no qualms about " tough love " . Giving up to an entity incursion is one of the dangers of having Kundalini without guidance - like mine was. So rest assured you will do well and your intuition and your freinds and your guidance will not steer you wrong. You will know. Kundalini is a connection to the divine one ness of all and isnt easily hi-jacked.@@ In other words, what is the difference between giving up resistance and allowing one's self to be controlled by conditions or people? Makes me wonder if one way of controlling fear is not by reaching the state of " giving up. " Which in turn, would make one vulnerable to stronger, more dominant and controlling energies and vibrations. I can see how I have been there and done that in my life. How does one " control " without resisting? @@ By choosing what is and is not controlled or resisted. Discernment@@ @@ Blessings Deb - chrism @@ More questions, I suppose! Deb PS to Elektra: Thank you for your kind words. I agree with Stephen that you are a bright light in this world and on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hey - just responding and very much enjoying this conversation! You are so right to point out that there is beauty in the lower astral. It makes sense, since there is so much beauty on the physical Earth, as well. My mother was just telling me and my brother to thank God for our eyesight every day that we can use to see all of the beauty in the world. I thought, " Every now and then, my mother actually makes sense! " LOL! I have always wondered about this subject of " being tested. " Because, let's face it, sometimes it sure does feel that way! Kind of like, the more you try to get into the higher states of mind, the more things come at you during the day as " challenges. " Sounds like Alora can relate to this! And Stephen, and all of us. Sometimes it feels almost like a " magnetic pull. " Perhaps it is because we are " trying too hard? " Then you said, " When you see the game or test for what it is, it collapses, and you move on. " Hmmmm. I must still be unclear about " what it is. " But I am learning how to not let it bother me as much. Practicing " detachment. " I like how you pointed out that innocence and ignorance are just " learning platforms, " but the goodness and purity do not leave. This makes sense. I feel like they are learning platforms that we chose to experience from a spiritual perspective, before coming to this Earth and that it is probably an ongoing choice during unconscious astral trips, such as the dream state. So as you say, we are not conscious of the " whole truth " most of the time. Thanks for pointing out to use discernment. And thanks for sharing so generously your vast knowledge on this subject. I appreciate so much all that I am learning from you and all of my friends. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
