I think I've had some success contacting guide!

[Gandalf]

Well, nothing to report from last night.
I was expecting a contact again tonight as the woman identified as my guide said she would contact me again the following night.
so last night I done the usual affirmation and went to sleep, but as far as I know nothing happened, or if it did I dont remember.

Oh well, I'm not to worried about it.
I only just started with this and got a result on the second night so I shouldnt complain. Many people say that it can take a while before you get any result.

I think that a while ago I would have been slightly disilusioned that the guide didnt contact me again when she said she would but as I have learned more about this, I have found out that it is as hard for them to contact US as it is for us to contact them.
They have to try to find a  way through all the mental crud we accumulate to get a message through.
Obviously last night, on the planned meeting, there was too much mental 'interference' going on. I won't let this worry me. If it was possible to make contact once, then at some point the conditions will be right again,
I've got plenty time, I'm still a bit disapointed though that the planed meeting did not go ahead!

Still, I DID get another spontanious RT projection through, I appeared in the living room, the furthest yet!
However, I still got pulled back as I tried to make a dive for the window!Maybe I should stop doing that!

Till later,
Douglas

Gandalf,

Bear in mind that once your guide has introduced herself to you, she won't  necessarily just contact you in dreams. Keep your mind open through the daytime and during certain situations don't be surprised if you hear her voice in your mind.

After my guide came to me initially, I could hear her quite a lot in my mind when I'd think of her during the day (it was such an impressive first encounter I had trouble NOT thinking of her). I started to worry that it was just me making it up, but as this was the first time I had a female voice in my mind, as apposed to my own mental commentary or that of my higher self, I knew this wasn't me doing the talking. Frank also encouraged me a lot by confiming that this mode of "telepathic" communication is par for the course where our guides are concerned.

I have since met her a couple of times face to face on the astral, which is wonderfully reassuring, but I've learned to trust her quiet words in my mind when she has something to say, or tease me about something then start to giggle.

Having a guide isn't just about learning, they can be a companion, and a lot of fun!

James.

James - I'd love to hear the story of how you met your guide.. if you've made posts, any idea where I might find them?

Douglas- Have you managed to get outside your bedroom window at all? For me, my bedroom window has always acted as a kind of portal out of the RTZ and into the more interesting parts of the astral.  When I am able to get that far (usually after a few shots of buzzing back in), it immediately becomes easier for me to stay out.  

Good luck with your guide stuff!

Thanks for the info James, I'll try and see if I can 'hear' anything during the day.

Meg - The window is a problem, it seems that as soon as I go through it I return to my body, I'm not sure what's going on there.
All I know is that everytime I project I have this overriding impulse to fly through the window.
I have realised that my bedroom window is closer to my bed than the door so for this reason I get pulled back in.

The thing is, although it seems quite clear what to do right now, when I actually project my clarity is not always that good and all I can usually think of is diving out the window!
Jeff Mash suggests ASKING for clarity when you're out but again this is based on the assumption that you are able to think of this at the time, maybe with more attempts things will be clearer.

All the best with you and your guide... you're doing amazingly well!

Regards,
Douglas

Actually, I kind of DEMAND it!  Usually, things are real dark and cloudy when I've projected.  I start saying to myself, "Clarity NOW!" and affirming my desire to 'see.'

I also make sure that I'm not rushing anything.  A lot of us (meaning me!) tend to get out and start thinking, "YES!  I'm OUT!  Now let me hurry up and get some sight before the experience ends!"

No sooner do I think that when I start feeling like the experience is ending!  This is why it's important to remain CALM.  Just stand there, take in a few deep astral breaths, and you'll start to feel more strong and lucid than ever before.  Incidentally, this also makes my vision more crisper.


Keep smiling,

Jeff - That is EXACTLY what I do EVERY time I'm out!
This must be where I'm going wrong!

I must try to ingraine this in my mind for the next time it happens because as I said earlier, it is easy for me to say 'ok this is what I'll do next time' but often the clarity issue gets in the way because I won't remember this when I'm actually out.
However if I try to ingraine it into my mind  then perhaps a light might go on next time I'm out and I won't just run for the window like a sucidal lemming!

Hi Meg,

The details I have already posted on meeting my guide are a bit fragmented as they have been in context with the topic. I'll try and breifly (as I do have a tenedancy to ramble) put all the details here.

I met my guide just after I'd completely blown apart my belief system. The old beliefs just weren't working anymore with what I was learning. Just after this happened I was sitting meditating one Saturday morning, and put the question out into the spirit world "where do I go now, what do I believe?"

Just then I fell into a vision like state. I was still in my body, but I was seeing things other than just the physical world. A stunninglybeautiful young lady was standing in front of me in the room I was in.  She looked like she was in her mid to late 20's, maybe early 30's, but there was an ageless perfection to her. She had fair, very slightly tanned and perfectly smooth skin, a sort of heart shaped face (if thats the right way to describe it), striking blue eyes and the most wonderful warm smile. Her hair was mostly blonde, but with shades of red & light brown. She was slender, but not petite, and was wearing a full length sleeveless dress that was a mottled mix of greens with some blue swirls towards the bottom, and she had like a very fine translucent, almost halo like hood on with specks of green in it.

I kind of sensed who she was - her presence was awesome, but she confirmed that she was the spirit of nature, aka Mother Earth or Gaia. She actually preferred I not call her Gaia as she said that is only one aspect of her. I've since found out that as an "avatar" of the spirit of nature, she has been known as the Green Lady.

Not knowing exactly how to treat or act towards a spirit of this magnitude, as in do worship her or what, she told me not to worship her,  just love her.
Since then I've found a wonderful relationship with her. I hear her when my mind is quiet. I'll go for walks in a park or reserve and just talk with her. She has a wonderful sense of humour, laughs a lot, and as I mentioned before, has a tendancy to tease me at times, then giggle.

Yes, the spirit of nature giggles!

She also goes off at me in a fun, loving kind of whay when I tease her back, and I can feel somewhat of a glare from her if I make any comments about her age. It's not uncommon for her to call me a twitt if I do something silly.

I have since met her a couple of times face to face when I have "phased-out" of the physical and let my mind travel into the astral. This is when she has had some more important info that she wanted to give me.

There you have it Meg. Though I usually refer to her as my guide, she is much more than a guide to me, she is a wonderful companion.

yours,
James.

P.S.
Meg, I notice you're also from Melbourne. Where abouts in Melb.? I'm currently living in Endeavour Hills, very soon to move to probably around Narre Warren, Berwick.

[Meg]

James - I'm in Carnegie at the moment (out near Caulfield) but I'm soon planning a move too - going to do the "move to the country thing" in a couple of months - somewhere around Castlemaine we hope.

Jeff and Doug- I know exactly what you mean... I'm just out-of-control out there. I projected last night and called for Simian but she didn't come. I made contact with auto writing this morning and she told me "I was there. You just didn't see me. You need to slow down, Meg. Learn to meditate" I realize this is very possible... I'm not well known for my lack of nervous energy! She also told me that I need to start entering the astral in the spirit of fun and adventure, rather than being so leaden about it. Words of wisdom, perhaps?

Meg

Wow! You guys seem to have had wonderful experiences with your guide! I hope i'll have such an experience one day.

I think I met my guide too during a projection. I'm not sure though, she would not tell me her name and I would not feel what I expected.

Just a bit of input for Gandalf. Instead of heading for the window or door why not just go through the wall or the roof or something. yah.

[Gandalf]

Hi folks,
following on from my plan (as related in one of my posts to Meg's thread)  to request contact with my guide  when I sleep (and be able to remember it!), I think I may have had some success last night.
I said a little prayer to the highher powers before going to sleep to request contact with my guide and also a prayer to prevent any negative influence/being from being able to contact me. I have heard that if you make this assertion every night before going to sleep, then you should be able to make some form of contact eventially.

Well, my second night at it and I got some results!
A lot of it was quite muddled however as my clarity was not always clear:

I remember being outside somewhere (normal dream situation) and wasnt really lucid or anything when I suddenly found myself talking to this young woman who identified herself as my guide, i can't really remember physical details about her OR her name.
I remember saying to her though, 'you are not what I expected for a guide, you seem so normal',
I dont know what I was expecting really, but she just smiled and nodded.
I seem to remember that she understood my lack of clarity.
Next, I remember her sitting there arranging a series of plastic letters on the ground forming up words etc, she was attempting to give me her name using this method, I still couldnt read it/understand it though.
My feeling here is that this is a reference to the automatic writing but I'm not sure the point she was making, whether I should continue to use this as a way of communicating or if she was making a point that it was too unreliable.

The next thing I remember, I was anxious to ask her all sorts of questions but she refused saying 'thats enough for one night'.
I  asked when we could have another meeting and she said 'tomorrow night'.

I really hope so, that would be great.... as long as I REMEMBER it of course, always a bit of a problem!

One final thing, after she left I drifted back into normal dream mode again, but then I was confronted by a small humanoid gnome like creature who appeared and said hello (or something along those lines)  to me.
He was behind a fence but he simply walked right through it.
My parents were there behind me and said 'oh, what a horrible little creature' which I didnt agree with at all. The gnome like creature responded with somthing along the lines of 'what a bloody cheek!', he then went off somewhere. Again, during this encounter my level of lucdity increased with the arrival of the gnome like creature and i had the distinct impression that allthough my parents and other things around me were thought form creations, my intuition told me that the gnome was more than that, I did not feel that he was hostile in any way however.

So, I don't know what relation the gnome had to the woman who identified herself as my spirit guide, they may be unrelated, perhaps the gnome was just passing and looked in to see what was going on.

What was the gnome like thing anyway?
I've heard of certain elemental creatures who adopt such forms, could he be one of them?

Anyway, I woke soon after that, whereupon I got a couple of spontanious RT projections in my room, one where I appeared half way through my PC moniter! and another where I was in the middle of the room, as always, as soon as I am out I make a rush to get as far away as possible as I get pulled back in again, basically the further away I get, the more control/clarity I get.
The furthest I have got so far is the kitchen.
In irritating habit I have just now though is that as soon as I realise I'm out, I charge for the bedroom window to fly out, however it has now clicked that the window is closer to my body than the door so I always get pulled back into my body again! I never seem to remember this when I'm out though, clarity problem again!

Anyway, if you're still reading, thanks for checking this out, and I'll report back with any further developments on the AP or guide fronts!

Regards,
Douglas
