Truth Perception, Part 3

Last time I talked more about truth detection. This time I want to talk about doing these things on your own.

With truth it is not always easy to tell is it. We might love somebody, we might like somebody or conversely we might be angry at somebody or even dislike them. All these things effect our perception. They're like veils or filters through which we see our world, feel our world, even touch our world.

So this tells you something very important. It tells you how very sensitive we all are. Sometimes it's hard to imagine isn't it, that some people could possibly be so sensitive. You might even think of them as being grossly insensitive and yet we are all born profoundly sensitive. That's why we have all the senses that are discussed, the so-called five senses but of course we have senses beyond that and that's what these blogs are all about including the senses you have and know about.

What I wish to underscore today is that your own feelings can be supported by what your body comes from. Your body is of the Earth. It is nourished from the sky by the sun and supported at night by the moon and your heart and soul are nourished by Creator of course and creation which is the stars, the other planets, all beings including all beings on Earth whether they be human or other.

It is difficult sometimes to know what is right to do. I have found using the method of the love heat works best for me but you may have other means and it is my intention here to give you the alternative that can also be used as I have been discussing. Some of you I know have difficulty in getting in touch with the love heat so that you can use it as a tool of discernment as well as be nurtured by it.

Learn to work with these things without gauging the value too much. I'm not trying to become a font of wisdom for you, rather I'm trying to point out your own abilities that you might work with them and create your own font.

In order to perceive you must learn how to use your tools of perception. Observation and analysis is not enough. Sometimes that which is analyzed is being analyzed strictly on the basis of visual perception and sometimes using technology but technology and the visual are all founded on the basis of human experience and in order to know the truth one must go beyond that to the soul, to the heart, to instinct, to inspiration, to the source from which we all spring.

We do not have to leave Earth to do that. That is with us now and it is my intention to continue to give you tools you can use to detect such truths.

Those of you who wish to do the card exercise using the heart warmth - go ahead. That alone might work for you. If you get heat - alright - or if there's no reaction. You can figure that out for yourself. If you can't, ask me - I'll give you more details.

For now that's enough on this. Remember that truth is not always objective and not always subjective. It is multifaceted so that is why perhaps we find ourselves living in a world of attitudes. The wise person takes this into account. Remember - judgement is not something that always helps but discernment does help.

Goodlife.

Our Heightened Sensitivity

Do you know there's been a change recently? Everyone on the planet, all human beings, have had their sensitivity level increased on the average of from 4% to 10%. Now how will you know that.

For one thing you will all notice that when people say something to you that is complimentary you'll feel it more. You'll have a sense in your body of the value of it - not as a thought, not as something you analyze but you'll genuinely feel it.

Equally if you are criticized and whether warranted or not it will be hard to take. That's why I want to give you some advice here.

It is in the nature of our societies on the planet that there is a tendency to be overly critical and frequently there are not enough compliments to go around but we can change that.

I'm going to recommend that when you see something that you like in someone and you know that person or you see something that you feel good about - perhaps a change they have made in their appearance or in their behavior if you feel it's alright compliment them. Don't make it a backhanded compliment like a joke that is not a genuine compliment.

It's safe - you can be safe to say, "I like the way you did that job - well done" or, "That's a new shirt isn't it - looks good on you" or something along those lines. To a youngster you might say, "You've done that well. I always knew you had that capacity. I've seen it in you many times and there it is. What a fine job you've done. Good for you." Don't say, "Keep up the good work." That's an example of a compliment that comes with heavy chains.

In the past we've thought that that was a good thing but I'd like to suggest that it actually is a type of thing that can enslave a person. Oh I know it doesn't seem to be a big deal but how many times have you striven for something that didn't actually feel right but you had to do it. "I've just got to do it," you say but if you pin yourself down or somebody asks you why - often you come up with, "I don't know." Maybe you're serving something from the past.

I'm not saying that everyone who says, "Keep up the good work" is binding you to something. Rather I am saying that it's alright to compliment a person but only if you feel it is so - what they are doing that you approve of.

Remember, with everyone this sensitive now and that sensitivity level will be increasing it's important to recognize it in yourself. Not to control it - that will not be possible. Worse yet it could come out in some other way - boil out you understand. You don't want it to come out as anger if it can come out in a good way.

With everybody this sensitive we are likely to begin to notice things that are there. What the animals are doing, how the flowers smell and things that need to be corrected - pollution, etc. Things that seemed far away from us will be more noticeable now.

Learn to embrace your sensitivity. In that light I'm going to suggest the following living prayer. I recommend - if you'd care to say it that you say, "I am asking that all those portions of me that have been underfed that with my now sensitivity I become aware of and compliment, thank and otherwise appreciate those portions of me and compliment, thank and otherwise appreciate in the most benevolent way that which I have missed seeing that is of great value in other people, places or things."

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Sensitivity And Knowing, Part 3

Last time I spoke about instinct in our refresher on the subject. This time I'd like you to try something different.

I'd like you to take note when you're in a place that's crowded - glance around and see if your eyes happen to fall on someone - not necessarily someone that you find attractive but someone you don't know and have never met and yet, a place where you feel reasonably safe. Perhaps a large meeting, perhaps a convention where you all have similar interests or perhaps simply someplace where there's a sporting event perhaps going on that you're all attending so you have similar interests there too and if you feel like it at a distance speak to the person. Just say - hey isn't this great or something non committal like that.

Also in a crowded situation, say in an elevator, you could if you catch the eye of someone just say - make some little remark saying - it's like sardines isn't it - referring to the way sardines are stuffed in a can.

Do you know that such remarks and little quips and sometimes jokes were always the thing that people said in the past and people would laugh and the humor would be something that would help calm a difficult situation. Many of you know this but not most.

The fact that in crowded situations - which are going to become increasingly the norm for a while - that these little jokes are not said so often is because we are sensitive. Yes, even when we're packed into someplace like an elevator or perhaps a subway train we are sensitive and often that sensitivity is expressed in fear or confusion - but it is time to begin to notice our friends and allies whom we don't know and have never met. That's the key here. So - that's what I'd like you to do.

It might just be that in that packed elevator or packed subway the person who chuckles or glances at you even shyly might be different than the one that you thought might be the one that would react to you. If that happens and if you feel even reasonably comfortable then see if you can strike up a conversation with that person and if you feel comfortable and safe go to coffee or something with them and see if you can make a friend.

It is important now to discover the comforts and the valuable aspects of instinct.

I'm not going to encourage you to do something that would be death defying. Rather I'm going to encourage you to improve the quality of your life by increasing the circle of your friends and this is what I'm suggesting for you right now.

I did say that it could be embarrassing - if things don't work out, if nobody looks at you but - shrug it off and try it again another time. That's what I recommend.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Sensitivity And Knowing, Part 2

Now - last time I began telling you about how sensitive we are and today I want to expand on the practicality of that. It is a great deal more practical then you have been led to believe.

Sensitivity has been greatly reduced in the eyes of many societies and yet it is that very quality that will not only allow us to move with grace through the coming years but will allow us to experience a much better quality of life.

Now, last time I touched on the fact that it is our sensitivity that will allow us to know beforehand what may happen. I've spoken at great length here on these blogs about instinct though I don't always use the word to speak about it.

Sometimes the training occurs in the various aspects of feeling this or feeling that and as you know when I've labeled things feelings, since labeling has been possible here on Blogger, I have always referred to feelings in the context of physical feelings. When I do that you can be sure I'm talking about instinct.

Instinct is a capacity we are all born with on Earth and we identify it most often with animals. They do this, they do that - oh it must be their instinct - and how often have we wished that we had that...and of course we are born with it. We're born with it because Creator wants us to have it and quite obviously since we are born with it - wants us to use it.

It is true that sometimes we are born with other qualities but these qualities are also intended by Creator for us to use them in ways that are benevolent for ourselves and others. I'll say more about that some other time but for now lets talk a little more about sensitivity and instinct.

It is possible you know, to know what's going to happen before it happens. I've given you exercises before on how to feel something - how to know that something is close.

The exercise given last time was a reminder and if you like you can do that another time with yourself but it might be better to have a mate or friend do that with you. It has to be a very good friend, someone you absolutely trust because it is no fooling around - it has to be done the way I recommended because the point is to remind you that you are sensitive - not to make a joke of your sensitivity you see.

So if you like you can do it a second time with your eyes closed but the person doing the almost touching of course has their eyes open and must be very careful to do the exercise as suggested.

The experience then of sensitivity has everything to do with instinct. Wouldn't it be wonderful to know what was going to happen before it happened.

Well of course your feelings are the messenger when it comes to instinct. How many of us truly honor our feelings? I'm not talking about feelings that are necessarily stimulated by fear or terrors, though sometimes when those feelings come up and are recognized it's because we haven't noticed our warning feelings about something that could happen. I am talking about those gentle subtle feelings that are messages. So, another little bit of homework.

I know I've given homework like this before but this is an important refresher. I will be giving you much more advanced work on instincts in the near future.

So, this is what I'd like you to do as a refresher. Find a place in your house or in a location where you can be completely safe and stand in front of a wall with absolutely nothing in front of you. This can't be a crowded room with lots of furniture or certainly not with dogs or cats or children running about - so it has to be someplace that will work for you.

It's not necessarily something I'd recommend doing outdoors - alright - though some of you may have ideal circumstances for that - I'd recommend it be in a room.

Stand about 6, 8, maybe 10 feet away from a blank wall and with your eyes wide open very slowly with the smallest steps possible walk towards the wall. Don't put your arms out. Just walk towards the wall - and you don't have to keep your arms at your side, just walk naturally but don't put your arms out in front of you.

When you get to just a few feet from the wall then you can put your arms out with your palms down and your hands curled slightly so that by the time you get to the point where you're actually going to contact the wall with your body you touch it with your slightly curled fingers. Then turn around and walk back naturally so that you are about the same distance from the wall which would be about 6, 8, 10 feet away - whatever you choose, something like that.

Then do the same thing again very slowly with your eyes closed. Try to make sure to do this in a way where you are safe - nobody running around or if there's another person in the room that they're reasonably far away and perhaps only there to keep people who may be in the area from barging in and disturbing you.

So, take note of when you get the feeling to put your hands out the way you did when you got closer to the wall and put your hands out. If you notice the wall, then that's fine - then open your eyes.

If on the other hand you get to the point where you bump into the wall before you put your hands out that's okay too but that's why I want you to walk very slowly - just inching along so you don't harm yourself. You don't have to inch along when you're doing that part of the exercise where your eyes are intended to be open though I do wish you to do it very slowly for that part with your eyes open but do inch along when you get the feeling you ought to or when you have the sense the wall is coming.

Now anytime you get to the point where you reach out with your hands and contact the wall or even reach out with your hands and do not feel the wall because you're not that close to it yet, it's alright to open your eyes then and look and see where you are.

The point of this exercise is to get to the point where you are able to reach out and contact the wall with your eyes closed when you are about - maybe half an arm length away from the wall.

It's not a game. It's a means to sharpen up your instincts and as I said in the not to distant future I will be giving you something that is a greater test of this and will involve some slight risk perhaps but not a danger - maybe a little risk of embarrassment but for now this is what to do as a refresher.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Sensitivity And Knowing, Part 1

It's so easy to underestimate people isn't it. Sometimes it starts off with some misunderstanding. You say something, they say something and you've missed a word or two - or perhaps in their case they've missed your first few words and there's a misunderstanding. And then what can follow is an attitude either on their part or on your part.

This has happened to all of us. We know how easy it is - and yet perhaps if all goes well, later on the misunderstanding is resolved - but what happens to the attitude.

Does it also disappear or is there a tendency for us to tip into that attitude about that person or have others tip into that attitude about us much more easily in the future.

I believe that all of us on this planet are meant to be sensitive. I know it may at times be inconvenient and even at times in large institutional groups, they're created for one reason or another, difficult to say the least. And yet, we are born sensitive.

Think how sensitive a baby is. A baby can be sound asleep and a well intended loving parent can come into the room, reach down and do what adults the world over like to do with baby - gently touch the palm of baby's hand and baby's hand naturally squeezes with their tiny fingers, your finger - and yet baby remains sound asleep.

Now that takes real sensitivity. We are all born that way and we sprout from that point. I'm talking about this today because I feel that there has been entirely too much effort made by ourselves with ourselves and by society around us to encourage us to be less sensitive - and yet we are born that way. Creator desires us to be sensitive or we wouldn't be born that way.

So - today a little homework suggestion, just for fun. With one hand - and you can do this with a mate if you like or you can do it on your own - with one hand reach over to your arm or to your stomach. Don't touch your other arm or your stomach - don't touch but move very slowly with your hand towards that part of your body, and by your stomach I'm referring to the area around your solar plexus which is extremely sensitive much more so than most of you know.

Begin to reach towards the skin of your solar plexus or the skin of your other arm very slowly with the palm of your hand - either hand - and as you get slower note the physical feelings in your body.

Try to do this someplace that's quiet or perhaps at a time of day when things have calmed down at least to a "dull roar" and notice when you start getting feelings in your body. Most of you will notice some kind of feeling in your body when you are just a few inches or considerably further away from touching your arm with your hand or coming closer to your solar plexus.

If you start to get a really uncomfortable feeling this is what to say - and remember if you're doing this with a mate there can't be too much kidding around and never saying anything harsh. This is just to let you know how sensitive you were born - I'll say more about that in a moment. As you get closer to your solar plexus or your arm, notice your feelings and as I said if you get uncomfortable start saying out loud, "I'm safe" and continue saying that - not over and over but saying it only when the uncomfortable feeling comes up.

Continue doing that until you get your hand to within about an inch of your arm or your solar plexus. Then begin moving your hand without touching your arm or solar plexus - begin moving your hand up towards your shoulder or in the case of your solar plexus very slowly up towards your chest. You will notice that the sensitivity becomes heightened. Now that's all.

This is only to show you how sensitive you are. It is important to do this for some of you because you don't often remember that you were born sensitive and there's a reason for it. Creator would not have us born this way if there wasn't a reason.

It is not a challenge. It is rather so that we can feel and know before we are touched or told. Yes, we all have the capacity to know what's going to happen slightly before it happens or what's going to be known mentally just before we are told. I'll say more about that next time.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
