Guest guest Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hi Claudia, Thank you so much for your kind words. I am 31. I just turned 31 on Feb. 15th. As far as profession is concerned, I feel the need to be a great help, not just a help of some sort. What I mean is, I would like to be able to really touch people's lives and give them hope and healing and comfort and light their way. One thing I think I'd really love would be caring for the elderly. I really love doing facial massage, although it can hurt my back a little, leaning over the person who's sitting in front of me in the chair. However, I don't feel as though I am serving my purpose, at Macy's. I feel I need to be in an atmosphere where my 'gifts' are truly needed, not just where they promote the sale of skin treatment products. I love working with children, but I had to leave childcare because without a college education, I can't make enough money to survive in the childcare industry. I might like to be a massage therapist, and either work with the elderly or volunteer my time to them on the side. I'm not entirely sure. I feel like the more in touch with my spiritual side I get, the more completely I will know what my true calling is. Right now, I feel as though my stay at Macy's has and is serving 3 purposes: First of all, I had a rough childhood and as a result of that, I spent my teenage years in to my twenties, very uneasy around people. I always felt stupid, and judged myself harshly, thinking that's how others saw me. I couldn't stand being around a lot of people at once, and would often give a cold shoulder to those around me because of my social discomfort and self conscious nature. I was forced to deal with large groups of people when I began working at Macy's, so I learned tolerance. Of course, I had begun to teach myself tolerance at previous jobs - but this felt much more hard core to me, so I had to adjust quickly. When I began to work in cosmetics, I had to get used to touching a person's skin, and giving advice and listening. That was hard, because I was a little uneasy, wondering how the person would react to what I was telling her. I had to get over my discomfort, and eventually I did. Along the way, and much due to the love and openness of a dear friend who worked close by me for over a year, I became more open and giving and was no longer afraid to let my true nature shine through. One day I stood close to her to hear what she was saying to me over her loud music, and I suddenly felt her wonderful energy, which reminded me of home.I thought I would cry, it was like I had stumbled upon something dear to my heart which I had lost a long time ago. I remember hearing the words 'I have you back' come to my mind. I recognized her wonderful energy from at least one passed life, and I loved it so much that I always wanted to be near her. Because of her and her wonderful remembered energy, I was able to learn her loving and open ways. It was really after she left - and I missed her so much that I knew I would have to take on some of her aspects to comfort myself and be able to feel like she was still close by. I began to be more caring, and more outgoing then before[it was a great improvement]..then I began to soar. Now I feel I have pretty much gotten to where I need to be in order to move with the flow of the spirit [wherever the spirit leads me], however, there is one more task I am trying to achieve while at Macy's. There is someone whom I really, really love, whom I've known in at least one past life. There are things I have to show her, lessons she either hasn't learned yet, or else she did, but became cold due to hurt, and shut down. I have to love her, and let her trust me, so that she can use that to build herself back up to where she needs to be. There is so much that I want to show her, I don't want her to get lost in the game of life. I don't want her to forget that she is also spiritual, and I don't want to lose her. She is so beautiful. Such a beautiful spirit..I can feel all her love when I am near her. She has lived many lives. She holds a lot of wisdom. She remembers me, also. I feel it, and when I think of her - she looks at me. We connect. I feel the need to be a shelter for her and a beautiful rain which helps her soul to grow to a higher state of living. That is my reason for staying, besides being in the state where I'm not sure where I would go after this. X Love and blessings, X Tara Claudia Lambright <newtfoodbowl wrote: Dear Tara, You are really special. I have never 'met' anyone who had so much psychic energy emanating from her; it is a natural gift, and you are indeed blessed. Especially because your heart is so good and you are naturally using it for good and not perverting the gift by using it for your own gains or to dominate/manipulate others. I must say, I would like to be a fly on your wall once your begin your K awakening!!! Your energy field will be like a million Macy's Christmas trees... or perhaps more like a sustained nuclear explosion! Seriously, you are probably well advised to take things slowly because the K will surely exacerbate your natural energy field. I have a feeling that you would be incredible in ANY of the helping fields. I don't know what you have planned or wished for your profession, but it is obvious that you are extremely gifted in working with children. I can see you running your own 'special' school for children like Sarita's and Jen's and Nicole's to help them nurture and bring their gifts to fruition outside of the traditional school system. I can see you working in health care, with the indigent, the homeless. I can see you in counseling. You've already done some energy work with massage clients, isn't that correct? Your special gifts should be shared with others, even more than you already do. It is not my place to advise you about marriage and children, but since you asked me, I will tell you what I would do it I were you. I would follow my own heart, ignoring my well-meaning friends who are speaking from their own socialization in thinking that just because a woman reaches a particular age, she should 'get married and have children.' Age is irrelevant in that decision. If I were in love and KNEW that the man I loved was in love with me, it would be assumed that we already knew each other's spiritual goals; and if we both want to get married, he would know as well as I that the spiritual path is a priority for me and that it would have to take an important position in my future marriage and family life. As for your spiritual quests and wanting to break them down and focus on them so that you can hurry up and get to your soul's destination...I and everyone here in this group will tell you that a spiritual quest is a JOURNEY, not a destination. It's all about the journey. So many wonderful things happen along the way, don't rush by them...cherish and enjoy each one. I'm not sure what your spiritual quests are, but I know astral projection is one...and perhaps healing? What else are you questing for? More likely than not, they are all a part of one main quest, so that they can dovetail and enhance each other. It may not be as complicated as you are seeing it. How old are you, Tara? I was 3 weeks shy of being 28 when I had my first (and only) child; that was not the norm in 1977 but now women are waiting till their late 20s and 30s to start a family; some don't have a child till their 40s (my boss's wife was 45 and he was 50 when they had a child!). You will make a wonderful mother, whenever it happens. If I were you, I would want to focus right now on who I am and what I want to do with my life. Create your perfect life and go for it. If and when it's time for your get married, you and your future husband will design your married life around the two perfect lives that you bring to the union. Your spiritual journey is just beginning and it's the core of your life. Let the rest of your life fall in place around it. You've come a long way since you were being hounded by the nonphysical presence...you've got a very bright life ahead of you and I'm so glad to be a part of it! And so glad you're here in this group.
