Intuitive communication

[James S]

Yes.
Images and feelings are a far more common way for your higher self especially to communicate with you than through words. Intuition is primarily this type of communication.

Words require the communication to be routed through the language interpretation portions of our brain, sometimes leading to errors in translation, as it requires your own vocabulary and understanding of language to achieve this.

Although a lot of "clairaudiant" spirit communication will use words, and they definitely have their purpose, but more often the really important messages from Spirit will come through in the form of visual images and feelings, things that don't rely on learned language.

I once met the spirit of an elderly Hopi Indian woman. Couldn't understand a word she was saying, but that wasn't really what was important. The fact that she beckoned me to sit with her, shared with me a ceremonial peace-pipe, and directed me to look at something happening outside the dwelling, that was the more significant message.

Kind regards,
James.

Thanks James,
             Someone asked me what I was seeing when the communication occured but it was all in feeling so I couldn't really convert it. Does the higher self have it's own agenda, maybe spiritual development for instance?

Just look language shift.  "Gay" used to mean a happy carefree person, and now it means somethng entirely different, same thing for faggot.  There are 100's of words that have shifted in the last 100 years.  Now throw in a language that your not native in, or one that's tonal like chinese and you can see many many issues with spoken words.

I've always thought of intuitive communications as bypassing the vision/speech center and going directly to the conciousness.

[James S]

Language shift is a good reason why the more important messages are not give in words - too much room for misinterpretation.

that's made me think though, I have to give one of my guides credit - she last physically incarnated on earth around 1200-1300AD in England, and considering how much the english language has changed since then, she does a good job of communicating with me verbally! [^]

Samsara,
"Does the higher self have it's own agenda, maybe spiritual development for instance?"

Pretty much yes.
Your higher (spirit) self can be described as the part of you that is closest to the "Divine" (God, the Creator, etc). Our higher self always has our best interest at heart, and always knows what it is we need to do to learn the lessons we have come to earth to learn.

As it is connected to that "universal knowledge", it is able to see past the day to day things that always seem to have our attention, so it can help guide us past any obstacles, or lead us to be in one of those situations where you've felt you're in exactly the right place at the right time.

-vision
-atmosphere
-intent/purpose
-recognition

These are the four things that spirits almost always use when communicating I have found. Every once in a while you might get one that uses words but those are mostly lower astral entities.

"Every once in a while you might get one that uses words but those are mostly lower astral entities."

I wouldn't say mostly, but it can definitely be true. Spirit beings that are little more than self serving entities will only use words, often very convincing words, but with nothing of the recognition factors that go along with a "genuine" guiding spirit, such as a reassuring "loving energy" feeling that you get in their presence.

Many guides are spirits that have incarnated as people here on earth, but not all spirits that have incarnated on earth make for good guides. Just because they are spirits doesn't mean they really know any more than we do.

I guess this is where I'm not sure on what the definition is of "lower entities" that most people tend to use. [?][:I]

A guide who is the spirit of someone who has lived on earth is not as "evolved" a spirit as angelic beings, and the energies of the two are definitely distinguishable, but there are many "human" spirit guides who lovingly guide and help us in accordance with the purposes of our higher selves. Kind of like they've taken a step up on the evolutionary ladder towards the divine, and their purpose now is to help others evolve.


This is where taking the steps of getting to know your higher self first are invalluable. Your higher self will provide you with the best spirit "lie detector" you can have.

James.

Lower astral entity: entity that usually resides between the etheric and astral realm, or reside in the astral realm itself. Most of these are "programs" wizards create, such as thought forms and are the biggest source of "negs."

That was in astral/vision?

By the way, thanks for sharing all this! [|)]

Hi guys since we are also talking about our Higher Selves in this thread, i want to ask about the ways in which we can establish contact with it/you/me/us (can't think of a word to describe higher selves). Lately i've been having an interest in this field.  Can guys tell me how or show me a link that would help me?  Thanks.

Peace & Love

Hi everyone, thanks for the responses. I think the communicator knows me very well and also knows how to make me laugh. I am also seeing light in my peripheral vision which I think is a developing of the ability to see spirit. I have encounter talking which didn't have the usual pleasent feeling associated with the intuition comms. Does opening of the abilities also mean you have to cope with negatives?

I think the negs were always there, just with heightend senses you can notice them.  Also, like I've said before, meditation and power building is like a lighthouse in the dark, entities can see you from further away, so yes in some ways you might attract a few more.  But then again they may keep right on going knowing they can't do anything to you.

"Most of these are "programs" wizards create, such as thought forms and are the biggest source of "negs.""

Thanks Spectral. Thought forms and manifestations from surplus negative human emotions is kind of what I had in mind here. Robert Bruce also refers to these kind of entities in the same way.

This equates well with a time when I was in contact with an entity that said all the right words, but my intuition kept on nagging at me that something was wrong. I sided with my intuition, then a medium and my "real"guide stepped in and showed me that this entity was not really who it was making itself out to be, and was distracting me from my proper path.

Reality,
Yes, it was a meditation vision.
You could describe such a vision as astral phasing - a technique Robert Monroe describes as being aware of your physical surroundings but seeing and experiencing the astral.
People visit the astral during meditation far more than they realise, only its not thought of in that way because its not the same as a full OBE.

Samsara,
at the risk of repeating his name a little too much on this site, I'd highly reccomend any of the books written by the author Ted Andrews (most widely known for the book Animal Speak). He has some brilliant books on how to meet spirits. I've read a few others, but his has always stood out in my mind as being the best. You can do an internet search on the subject if you like, but I also have tried this, and not really found anything anywhere near as useful as a good book on the subject.

You don't really have to worry about negs any more than normal. As Rastus quite accurately put it, negs have always been around, you just become more aware of them as you become more sensitive.
We have a good level of natural defences against negs already in our aura, so we're not defenceless against them.
I don't think about negs any more than I'd think about snakes while I'm bushwalking. Sure they're there and they can bite, but if your aware they exist and use a bit of common sense and caution, they're not a problem.

When you start working with spirit guides its best to set up a room that has been cleansed and had some psychic protection in place, and establish a "meeting place", a special place you have created with your imagination where you can go to to meet your guides. If you imagine this meeting place as somewhere that is protected or well defended, like a castle, and fill it with positive thoughts and energies, what you're doing is creating a sanctuary where you can meet with the spirits and be protected from negative influences.

Kind regards,
James.

I disagree and agree with this statement,  I've noticed internal monologues of my "own" voice, however the information seems to come from somewhere else, it's like a mini-conversation/lecture in my head,

I have however had a "neg" attack me once, it was trying to convince me to kill myself etc etc, but there was no Emotion... no reason behind the words,  just empty paragraphs, empty words of hate.

I rarely get neg attacks,or I just am able to tune them out, like I have a permanent shield that only allows "good" guidance.

There's also a couple of other "workers" assigned to me, I've noticed one in particular lately of whom (it?) is connecting the coincidences throughout my life.    
I don't know why but it always seems as though Im looking from the future, onto the present and past, and Im connecting the events and "facts" I've acquired over the years.

It's almost like, someone else is remembering my life, and one daydream will lead onto the next, and then, I'll see the face of a friend I haven't even thought about for years.

Im curently in the process of "organizing my memories", sort of a memory warehouse, with cross indexes and emotional markers. I hope that I can be so percise with my memories and events, that in my next life I'll be able to retain specific information.

that just went way off topic no doubt......

and on another note, there seems to be a plethora of simple cartoon like visual entities,  of whom make little speech but have some of the most wierd "uses", obey many of my commands (ie change into, GOAWAY, be nice etc)  but I usually just allow them to do what they want.

thought-forms are easily identifiable and also easily corrupted and any wizard who has enough ego to create thought-forms should know that they are easily readable, writable and bansihable (I would say erased but we all know the metaphysical implications of such an act),

and like puppies if thought forms are ignored, they melt away.

[samsara]

Has anyone experienced direct communication on an intuitive level where you cannot hear speech or translate into words. You just know what has been said?
