I see faeries

[loveregardless]

i am also ADD and have extra problems with anxiety and depression. i love meeting other bipolar people and its great how you see yourself as an empath. while exploring my mind and inner self, i can feel a strange connection to the spirit and i have noted a level of genius or brilliance. i see great potential for clairvoyance, i just have yet to develop myself enough. i think that there is a great deal more to bipolar disorder, rather than simply a mental illness. it is evident in historical figures such as DaVinci and many artists and great thinkers.

It's like reading my own life story! Believe me, I understand!
And you are completely right, "mental illness" and "genius" are very connected! Edison, Davinici, Einstein...
I am just now coming to understand what it has meant all these years to be an empath, and to not have known I was an empath. So many of what I thought were irrational emotions/reactions/thoughts, I am now realizing, were never my own to begin with. I've also come to realize that I'm a bit of a psy vamp as well, and have been unknowingly TAKING the energy, positive and NEGATIVE of others. So many things make so much more sense now! It feels like I have been reintroduced to my true self...it gives me wonderful peace.

I wish my clairvoyance was as well developed as yours is however. Perhaps the reason you see the fairies more clearly than other beings is because they are closest to your heart. Might I ask, you love fairies don't you? You think the word "faerie" and your heart feels warm and light and you are filled with joy, you believe with all your heart, and you love them. Well, what about when you think the word "gnome" or "elf"...do these same overwhelming feelings arise? This would perhaps be the reason you have a stronger connection to them than other beings...just an idea.

loveregardless,

i have had experiences where i feel other people's energy. my mother and my father split up a few years ago, and she basically is very turned off by many things about him. on one occasion i was sitting at the haircut place with my mother, and i said something that reminded us both of my father. at that moment an intense negative energy shot out of her into me and i literally shook and vibrated.

another time i was walking with my girlfriend and she said that she felt like she was walking on stilts. instantly i felt a huge burst of energy come from her direction and instantly i felt like i was walking on stilts. very strange.

i do love faeries. often i feel a very warm sensation when i fantasize about the otherworld and different whimsical creatures. but many other things give me that too, like thinking about the people and places and things i love.

i started to become interested in the faerie world in eighth grade. on the bus everyday i passed a garden gnome hidden between some brush. day after day i found it more and more humorous. i started to draw gnomes constantly and i became obsessed with them. it wasnt until sophomore year when a girl i met in drawing class always drew faeries, or sylphs i suppose. i took a liking to this girl and became very interested in faeries and mainly elementals. ive made sculptures of gnomes and theyve turned out very good and to scale.

i am wondering what benefits you have from being bipolar. i am an artist. im into drawing, painting, sculpture, and a little bit of creative writing. i have won awards for drawings ive done. i started drawing when i was three, and at that time i drew like a seven year old.

over the summer of 2004, i began convincing myself that faeries were real, and i started mentally asking them to reveal themselves to me. two weeks later i started seeing them. i never included gnomes or goblins to my mental voicings. i think that this is the reason i only see faeries of the flying variety. since my dilemma of confusion as to whether or not im hallucinating, i have not thought to try to see and other kinds of creatures. do you see any other kinds of creatures?

[Cornopus]

daem0n,

foget about superstitions, like leaving something for them, they are not from this plane and don't need food

faeries hover around plants and there is some energetic connection between the two, i think that they are a halfway point between the sun and the plants. plants are of the physical dimension, so why should it be implausible that they can replenish their energy through food that is left out for them? ive read this in several sources. i dont mean to be a jerk and disprove your theories, but this is what i have heard.

[Rastus]

They are 4th Dimensional creatures.  They don't need to eat the way 3D creatures do.  That doesn't mean they couldn't, but do you think a fairy would eat meat or vegatables?

[Cornopus]

im not saying they eat the food, they absorb the energy from the food.

[Rastus]

Traditional offerings were milk and honey as I recall(by-products in pure form, got any totally organic milk?).  Eating plants would be sacrilage to a fairie, I think.  Meat unmentionable.  You want Fairies, plant a flower garden and shower it with Unconditional Love.

[Chimerae]

I can't even imagine what would happen if i told a psychiatrist all the truth about me visiting different dimensions, leaving my body while still alive and creating/changing our physical reality with my will/thoughts.  

Been there done that.

If you ever want to rattle the cages that way, here's a safety tip . . . be prepared to deliver evidence of a personal nature to the therapist.

There are many many therapists out there who would be perfectly happy as lurkers on Astral Pulse, who quietly and secretly take their etheric learning back to their practices -- but who can NEVER admit it because of peer issues, insurance, and all the rest.

I have a phd psychotherapist I see who is a psychic and travels dimensionally.  I have access to a psychiatrist who is also psychic and who's credentials are so solid that she "gets away" with her non traditional therapies.    There out there you just have to find them.

It seem to me that it's not unlike the difficulties gays and lesbians have getting good therapy.   Or kids.  Or people of color.  Anyone who's "different" from the defined norm -- even if the defined norm is really abnormal -- creates a nasty feedback loop for The System.  Psychotherapy is part of The System.

[Chimerae]

hello everyone. i am 17 years old and have bipolar disorder.

Scientific American January 1991 has a great article on the high incidence of bipolar disorder in individuals of creative genius

It won't help about your specific question about the faeries, but it does give a window into extended perception that comes along with bipolar disorder on a very mainstream thread.  

I'm not bipolar, but I do see faeries (and other things)  I get regular therapy, simply because it's so crazy making to try to balance my larger reality with what most people see and experience.

The trouble as I see it is that we humans require healthy mirroring to verify our experience and to see what is helpful and what is not.   We need it to order our relationship with the world around us.  

My experience of faeries is that there are many many different kinds and some of them bite.  

Looks like you've had a pretty good response here for the rest of it, but if there's anything more you feel would be helpful, PM me

[loveregardless]

plant a flower garden and shower it with Unconditional Love.

Oh yes, they love that! And what a wonderful natural experience it is anyway!

Chimarae, I completely agree that almost everyone needs therapy. I have just gotten to the point where I can be my own therapist, honestly and objectively. I work as my BF's therapist as well, and in the last year his progress has been amazing. Most people just never get the point where they can accept their "weaknesses/faults" as well as their "strengths"; meanwhile realizing that they have been there all along and always will be. Most people are blind to the fact that they are not "perfect" in regards to "mental health" and even suggesting such a thing will get you in a hot spot real quick. In all honesty, it's just too much "work" and "responsibility" for them. I will never understand most people... I was lucky and had a wonderful psychologist when I was in therapy. I was however not as lucky with my psychiatrist and the games she played with me and my meds. I would love to work with someone like you are speaking of, I will have to look for some in my area!

[Chimerae]

I would love to work with someone like you are speaking of, I will have to look for some in my area!

One of my etheric coaches is an empath and ex-therapist from Florida.  When she needs intense therapy, she goes to Florida.  I don't know where, but I could ask if it ever becomes and issue.

You sound just awesome!!!!

[narfellus]

I would love to have a therapist like yours, Chimerae. Mine is a regular ol' by-the-books psychologist, but then again, i don't see faeries. I'd like to though. My understanding of faeries is that they are not the cultually accepted image of nice little flowers and happy dancing all the time. They can be mean and spiteful, which was so brilliantly expressed by Brian Froud. You don't know of any "special" psychotherapists in NC do you?

[Rastus]

Loveregardless, meet Chimerae.  Chimerae, meet Loveregardless.  I knew you two would hit it off  

-B

[loveregardless]

Haha, why thank you Rastus. And thank you Chimerae, sorry I spelled your name wrong before.  I think you sound wonderful, too!
Recently I discovered that Barbara Brennan's school of healing is in South Florida. I am certainly going to look into that. I plan on going into the natural/alternative health field. I was originally going to be, of all things, a psych. I was in school for a while, so I assume some of my therapy "skills" are a result of the classes I did take, but I think my being an empath is what is behind most of my "understanding"; and always has been.

Everything makes so much more sense lately. Rastus, I love you! I am so much more at peace now than even a week ago!

(Barbara Brennan, author of "hands of light")

[Chimerae]

You don't know of any "special" psychotherapists in NC do you?

I worked for years with "normal" therapists and I've had "special" therapists off and on.

My general thought is that the "normals" are better therapists.  It's pretty confusing and frustration being a therapist anyway -- the psychic therapists tend to burn out or flip out or get in trouble with the System.  

I was referred to mine after I'd worked through everything BUT the psychic implications.  

I don't know any professionals in North Carolina.  Would the Monroe Institute be a referral institute for that general area?  Unity Churches are usually a pretty safe place to look.  I also have good luck with mainstream psychologists are practicing Sufis.  I'm not a Sufi and don't know much about it, it may just be that Sufi practice shapes people in ways that work for me.   I seem to traumatize American Buddhists, even though I like them alot.

Cornopus,

It will be hard for any of us to tell you what you truly see.  I see a lot of weird things, too, and if I let myself get upset about it, I'm sure I could call a psychiatrist and say, "Help me, I'm having hallucinations" and he or she would prescribe me some medication.

Instead, when I see these things, I choose to take a deep breath and step back from it.  I tell myself, "It's ok, it's just those weird things again" and relax and go on with my daily life (or explore it if I want to right then).  I can do this because I've come to realize that the things I see never do anything, so there's no reason to get anxious about it.  My attitude would change if they suddenly sprouted horns and axes and began chasing me, of course

I'm not trying to tell you what they are (that is your discovery to make) but instead trying to alleviate some of the stress.

[Cornopus]

Naiad780,

thank you for your concern. ive never been afraid or stressed by the things i see. im just really confused right now. i would be more at ease if i knew for sure if im seeing real beings or if they are hallucinations or whatever. sure, i would be disappointed if they turned out to be hallucinations. at the moment im indifferent about everything, most likely because of the medication. i take seroquel, lexapro, adderall, and ablify.

i think that since i started taking ablify, the clarity of the faeries has faded an iota. all i can do now is wait until the dosage gets raised to the maximum 15 mg. then im in for more deliberating.

[CaCoDeMoN]

moment im indifferent about everything, most likely because of the medication. i take seroquel, lexapro, adderall, and ablify.

Why people in USA take so much medications? Frequently their problems will only get wrose....

[Cornopus]

at the moment, if i dont fix all of my problems with medications, i go nuts, and die from depression. my psychiatrist probably doesnt consider the money my mother has to pay for four medications, that is 80 dollars a month, except for the 3 free refills on some of them. im not really worried about the fact that im taking all of the pills because i have very few problems while medicated. im either indifferent on meds, or extraordinarily emotional not on meds, and i dislike having mood swings.

[loveregardless]

Oh my.

[Rastus]

What if there's nothing wrong with you?  Your not 'normal'.  Normal means like everyone else.  What if most everyone else is wrong?

Sanity is defined as being in the majority.

I see Aura's.  I see Astrally.  I see energy beings.  I have guides I talk to daily.  I have healed energetically.

I am quite insane by definition.  So what?  When I fought being what I am, I was severly depressed, anxious, and a generally unhappy person.  The moment I stopped fighting and embraced myself my world expanded.

Why are you on this forum?  What event caused you to come here?  There are no such things as coincidences.  This forum may not be what you are seeking, but instead a stepping stone to something else.  Look inside yourself for your answers, they are there, they always have been.

-Namaste

[loveregardless]

I agree with Rastus. And I'll get with you on that here shortly.

[Tombo]

Naiad780,

. i take seroquel, lexapro, adderall, and ablify.

.

Hmmm,  if you have serious illness like heavy depressions or other things like, which make your life unbearable without medication then I'll understand you take pills.
Note: I used the word unbearable, everybody has moodswings, anxiety or other problems, you yourself have to decide if you have to numb them since they are to heavy to handle or if you can solve the problem an other way .  If you take pills only cause somebody else thinks you should see, feel or be different then you are -> Not good!
This pills might obscure your mind, which probably does hinder your natural gift do perceive things from other planes of existence.

Cheers Tom

The Indigo to Crystal Transitional Crisis
by Celia Fenn
Italian/Italiano Turkish Spanish/Espanol Dutch/Nederlands French/Francais Hungarian

I have been asked by Archangel Michael to write this article in order to help the many people who undergo the experience of a rapid shift into multi-dimensional awareness, or, the shift from the Indigo state to the Crystal state of consciousness.

There are people who make the transition in a relatively gentle way, but there are many who experience a crisis when this happens. These are usually the people who have chosen to open up to the higher dimensions. This choice is not made logically by the rational mind, but is rather a soul choice made in response to the available transitional energies of the Earth herself. So, sometimes a person is thrust into psychological, emotional and bodily changes for which they can find no logical explanation. This can cause a crisis. My experience has been that orthodox doctors and psychologists are of very little help as they have no idea of what the person is experiencing. When tests come back negative, the person is often considered to be hysterical or ungrounded or even schizophrenic.

This transition often happens to people who have been on spiritual paths and are better equipped to handle the shifts. But, my experience is also that Indigo Children, no matter what their state of spiritual awareness, are particularly vulnerable to the spontaneous experience of transiton or breakthough to the awareness of higher dimensions. I must also add that the use of any kinds of drugs, fairly common among Indigo adolescents, quite often precipitates this transitonal crisis before the person is really ready to deal with the effects.

Below are a list of the symptoms experienced in the process of crisis or breakthrough:


Sudden extreme sensitivity to people and environments. A person who has previously been sociable and active suddenly finds they can't bear to be in shopping malls or in crowded environments such as restaurants.
An increase in psychic ability and awareness. This most often manifests in the ability to almost "hear" the inner thoughts and feelings of others. This can be disconcerting if the person imagines that everyone else can also read their thoughts and feelings. Also an extreme sensitivity to negative energy in certain environments or people, including the inability to tolerate certain people who had previously been close.
This increased sensitivity can lead to panic attacks or anxiety attacks. These can occur at any time, even when the person wakes up at night. Often there is no valid reason for the attack, although the person will often seek to find a reason.
The person might also find themselves "zoning out" for long periods of time, just wanting to sit and do nothing. This can be irritating to someone who has previously been very energetic and active. This is just the consciousness adjusting to spending more time in the higher dimensions and less time in the 3rd and 4th dimensions. Related to this is the need to rest and sleep for far longer than previously, and a general slowing down.
Obssessive anxieties about humans being destroyed (by pollution, lack of resources, aliens, technology etc). This is because multi-dimensional consciousness can access all levels of the group mind, including that part which holds the fears and anxieties about the survival of the species. Since the person is often concerned about their own survival, they tend to resonate with this part of the group mind or morphogenetic field.
An obssessive need to understand what is happening, leading to the mind becoming overactive and the person fearing they are losing it or suffering from "burn-out". Also a fear of going mad and being unable to cope with everyday life in the future. Again, psychologists and doctors seem able to offer very little help.
Depression for no reason, or related to the crisis state. This is often just the consciousness clearing out old layers of energy that need to be released. It is not necessary to "process" or relive the experience, just allow the body to release the energy. Have patience with the process and know that it will pass.
Disrupted sleep patterns, often waking up to 3 times a night, or just at about 3am. Again this is just the consciousness adapting to new cycles of activity. Higher consciousness is often more active at night since the lower dimensions are quiet at this time.
Feeling strange electrical energy waves through the body. The Crystal body is incredibly sensitive, and feels solar and lunar waves, cosmic waves, and energies from the galactic centre. Often these energies are assisting in the process of "rewiring" the body to carry higher energies. Speaking from experience, I know how uncomfortable this can be. But the body eventually acclimates to dealing with these energy waves. You will probably find them to be more intense around Full Moon. The best way I have found of dealing with this phenomenon is to go outside and stand barefoot on the ground and imagine the energy running through your body and into the earth.
A whole range of physical sensations and experiences, usually related to detoxification. The Crystal body holds no toxins, but allows everything to pass through it. In fact the eventual trick to being Crystal is just to allow everything to pass through and hold onto nothing. The ultimate state of detachment. But at this stage the body needs to release years of "toxic" waste, whether physical, emotional or mental The release is always through the physical body, which presents symptoms such as intense fatigue, muscle and joint pains especially in the hips and knees, headaches, especially at the base of the skull, and neck and shoulder pains.
Dizziness and "spaciness". This is because you are in "higher" states of consciousness. You need to get used to being at these levels and staying grounded at the same time. These sensations tend to increase with solar flares and full moons as well.
Increased appetite and putting on weight. This is because the body needs huge amounts of energy to power this process.
The ability to see beyond the veils. That is, to become aware of spirits, devas,E.Ts and angels as a reality and to communicate with these. This can be very frightening if the person is not accustomed to this kind of other dimensional awareness.
Coping Skills for the Transition
The best advice I can give is to be accepting of the process and do not resist. My own transition has been going on for nearly 18 months. I found that the key was acceptance. I kept hoping that I was going to wake up one day and feel "normal" again. It was only when I accepted that I would never again feel "normal" as I knew it, that I was better able to feel more comfortable in my new space and to cope better. Then you can begin to explore the adventure or the positive side of this new state.
Below are some tips for dealing with the transitional crisis:


Be at peace with what is happening to your being. You are becoming a Crystal being. Another term for this is a "Christed being", which refers to a mutli-dimensional being with full access to 9 dimensions, and maybe even 13. My experience at this point is that some people only open to 5D, others go through to 6D. If you make it through to 6D then you will probably achieve full 9D awareness in this lifetime, if not in the very near future. What a privilege and a blessing!!
Be kind to yourself and nurture yourself. Remember, as a Crystal being you carry an equal balance of the "mother" energy and the "father" energy. The mother says, nurture yourself as you would a new-born baby, for in fact that is what you are. You will need time to grow in strength and learn the skills of your new environment. Trust is very important here. I made the transition as a single self-supporting person in my own business with very little resources. I was terrified that my physical state would prevent me from earning enough to survive. But I was held though the process, and still have my home and I have always had enough although there have been some close calls.
Don't take drugs of any kind if you can help help it. Obviously if you are on medication for your health then you will need to continue. But do not take recreational drugs of any kind, these will aggravate the process and you could get lost "out there" in the higher dimensions. Also try to cope without anti-depressants or tranqulizers, although again if you are on these you will need medical advice and should not just stop them. The best path to take is to use homeopathic and naturopathic medicine, and I have found that Flower Essences are very helpful as well.
Avoid crowds and crowded places. I have perfected the art of the weekly one hour shopping "blitz" in order to care for my needs while not spending too long in tiring and toxic environments. Gradually you will be able to tolerate more and more exposure to these environments. The key here, of course, is to hold your own peace and harmony so strongly that instead of you being affected by the environment, you in fact affect the environment in positive ways. The Crystal person always holds and carries positive energy, but you will learn to use it in incredibly powerful ways once you have gained your balance and are able to move among people again with ease.
Stay grounded and centred. This can be very challenging for those who are acclimating to higher dimensional awareness. You will often feel dizzy and spaced. But try to pay full attention to the physical and grounded aspects of life. The key here is to spend time on exercise, walking, food and artistic occupations. Don't spend hours in front of the TV or lost in computer games. These will only serve to increase the ungroundedness.
Spend as much time as you can in Nature. You will find spending time in fresh air and sunlight will assist to strenghten the new bodies. Also the devas are there to support your processes.
Eat simply and eat as much fresh vegetables and fruit as possible. I have been told by guidance that brown rice and vegetables are the best kind of food for this new body. However, indulge your cravings - mine have ranged from calamari to chocolate cake. This is not the time to diet. Your body needs huge amounts of nourishment to fuel the processes you are passing though. You may even put on weight, but you will need to accept that this is part of the transition.
Finally - Celebrate your transition. You are becoming a Galactic human, the next step in human evolution! You are entering into your birthright.
WELCOME HOME, HUMAN ANGEL.

at the moment, if i don't fix all of my problems with medications, i go nuts, and die from depression. my psychiatrist probably doesn't consider the money my mother has to pay for four medications, that is 80 dollars a month, except for the 3 free refills on some of them. I'm not really worried about the fact that I'm taking all of the pills because i have very few problems while medicated. I'm either indifferent on meds, or extraordinarily emotional not on meds, and i dislike having mood swings.

80 dollars? So drugs aren't given for free in US? In Poland all psychological medications, and also many others are given for free if prescribed by doctor. I've never used any medications, and when I had depression, I cured it only using meditation, and magick. It took 2 or 3 years to cure it completely, and I can say that it was a painful way. I think that you should check what medications you really need and what are not really necessary. Your psychiatrist probably prescribes you much more pills than you need.

[loveregardless]

I completely agree. Rastus, thank you for that article.
