telling experiences

[kiauma]

I think that is a very complex question, about why we should or shouldn't tell our experiences to others.

My own opinion is this.  First of all, there is nothing inherently wrong with telling your experiences to others.  The thing to remember is to be careful and use discernment about who you tell your experiences to.  

Psychic ability is very much a personal empowerment that depends on our attitude and oppenness to the experiences in the first place.  If we tell our experiences to the wrong person, someone who is a powerful personality but had not developed his own abilities to experience it and affirm it for himself, he may decide to go to great lengths to save you from your delusion!  This can be no end of trouble.  On the other hand, what you say may be very meaningful and beneficial to someone.

This is so because the psychic world is a world of mental energy and manifestation, so if you are not prepared for a negative reaction it can be very troubling, though a positive reaction can be very synergistic and empowering.

I've had spiritual teachers that either recommended telling or not telling so there is probably no set answer. Maybe 50 years ago it could have been not safe but as of yet there is no thought police. So maybe it is up to you to find and follow your our inner guidence.

I'd have to agree with what has been said so far. I would say to use your best judgement when deciding to talk about astral experiences. There will be people who don't want to hear about it, others who ridicule, those who are entertained, and those who are truly interested.
As has been said, be discerning.


Very best,

I hear fom different people and read in books that telling your astral experiences or your dreams is a bad thing to do. Why ? Is it not good to share your experiences with others ? Or is it a sort of 'old saying' or belief that if you do tell that the inquisition may get to knew about this ? Or are they saying that it is unwise telling it to people who's development is not so advanced, or to sceptics for the 'foollabel' reason?
The masters say that the experience is ment for you only. I doubt that this is untrue, but can't someone who 'really listens' to the teller learn something to ? Of course they can !
I never experienced something negative or a slowdown in my development
when i tell my experiences to people.
Or maybe i am unconscious of it or maybe there are indeed reasons for the silence that must be kept. I don't know.
