need information

[Aileron]

Welcome thelostone to the forums here.
Im sure you will be recieving a few replies to this post. People here are happy to encourage information transit and such.

First I believe the 6th chakra is the third eye(am I right here? My memory lapses often) right below the crown or 7th chakra right on top of your head.

Chances are if you feel it, it is open. But of course there are ways to find out.
Meditation would be the best place to start. Plenty of resources on the net and out in the world to look.
Your best bet is to meditate on all your chakras rather than just focus on a single one, but that is not necessary.

Intuition can help you in many ways. It lead you here perhaps? You may want to check in other parts of the forums such as spiritual growth, etc to get other ideas.
Follow your intuition and your logic, both in conjunction can be a great asset.

Premonitions you may want to deal with differently. A few different outlets you can research for this.

Dreams

Visions/hallucinations.

auditory/sensory(besides visual)hallucinations

Feelings(i.e. intuition)

Correlating and repeating sequences of numbers/words/events/topics/etc


quite a few different things.

If you want to become better at visualizing, try mediation. Also drawing is wonderful at helping. Im an artist so I have a strong visual grasp of my environment.
Try drawing whatever is in your mind.
Try drawing still life pictures.
Try tracing things.

Reading helps as well to build imagination thusly visualizing.
Comics help.

These are just suggestions though.
Good luck[]

hey Aileron!
thanks for replying,
about my sense/talent of art : if i have to draw a human, i do it with 1 circle and 3 lines []
I've tried , but I think I'm just not that type. I tried visualisating some easy objects for hours, but, ....


About Chakras. If ur lower ones are not that open, does that affect the "strength" of , lets say 6th One?
how do you meditate on all chakras? I thought "opening" lower ones is just dealing with life itself,own perception .

I surfed some on the net and, is a guide the one, who is giving you "information", is he your intuition?

[Adam]

I think you are on the right track man []

[Rastus]

There are no stupid questions in the honest pursuit of enlightenment.  There are questions that everyone asks, over and over, and it's usually a sign your on the right path.

Chakras build upon each other.  There are linked together in multiple ways.  If your lower ones are 'closed' then you will have problems with the upper ones.  The goal of meditation is to clear all blockages so there are no impediments to your work.

If your not a 'visual' person, that's okay.  Your not really 'seeing' anyway, that's how you brain interprets it.  You can do just as well getting a 'feel' about somethng.  I used to be all visual, but now I can 'feel things' much better than I used to.

There are dozens of meditation techniques you can try.  Each has it's own merits, but the end results are usually the same.  You want one that works best for you.

Hi,I'm new in the forum.
First i would like to say that my English is not so advanced.

I would like to know more about increasing psychic(?) abilities.
I have found out, that information is coming to me in a way of feeling, (emotion?) or like a premotion(?). Im not visiual type of man,and my visualisation is poor.. I dont seem to be getting information in a picture form. How to increase connection with the "it" ?
Are there any practical exercises maybe ?

and im confused about 1 thing. The feeling in the forhead, in the middle, is that suppose to be a 6th chakra? what does it mean.
how do I suppose to know(feel) when it is open?  I just feel something there, when I want to.

I think I need to help myself first. How can the intuition help me?

Dont blame me if im asking stupid questions[:I]

have fun all the time

[TheLostOne]

hi again.

I've been thinking> I've been having headaches since i remember myself.
In last 5 years not so often but still. This headaches are really terrible pain. But its not just pain, also the thougts are "killing" ,u are totaly insane when having headache . The one who has headaches know this. And i've recentlz found out, that the point(source) of ache in head, is the in the same "point",  where i feel the chakra. Is this somehow connected?
I think there is connection that could help me get rid of the headaches, or at least direct me on a right path to get rid of them.

Thank you for possible answers,

bye

Maybe you have an energetic blockage at your third eye chakra? I think that you should try New Energy Ways, and if you have problems with annoying toughts, try Vipassana meditation.
And about spiritual guides: if you have one, don't rely on him/her, because they can, and probably will deceive you, think for yourself.

[G3MM4]

And about spiritual guides: if you have one, don't rely on him/her, because they can, and probably will deceive you, think for yourself.

I'm sorry but that is wrong. If they are his true spiritual guides, they will not deceive him, and they won't have a problem with being tested to see if they are his true spiritual guides. Anyway, it's impossible to be deceitful or lie in the spirit world.

TheLostOne: As for the chakras, I guess you just need to try mediating.

[CaCoDeMoN]

I'm sorry but that is wrong. If they are his true spiritual guides, they will not deceive him, and they won't have a problem with being tested to see if they are his true spiritual guides. Anyway, it's impossible to be deceitful or lie in the spirit world.

There was a person called Mayatnik on this forum. He was deceived very badly by his spiritual guide. He was channeling entities calling themselves "zetas" with help of his spiritual guide. Look in Astral Pulse archives to see what was the whole affair about. If I remember well, also a moderator James S. was deceived by his guide. For higher level entity it is very easy to manipulate a human, by falsely befriending him, and use him for it's own purposes. So I think that best way is to think for yourself, and not rely on external guidance.

[G3MM4]

Then it must have been an entity who lead them to believe that they were their guides. I seriously believe that you should test any entity, whether of light or darkness, to see if they are who they say they are. No being of light will deceive. It's the beings of darkness who will set out to deceive. Some of them caqn do it so well. So, like I said, no true guide will deceive because they are part of the Light. It's your responsibility to test every being you come across, the beings of light won't mind this at all.

Anyway, it's impossible to be deceitful or lie in the spirit world.

I'll rephrase this: It's impossible for any being of light in the spirit world to deceive or lie. This is because in the spirit world, your thoughts are heard by all. I wish I could say the same about beings of the darkness, but I can't because it's part of their "nature" to deceive, lie, trick, etc.

That's my tuppence worth.

[CaCoDeMoN]

There's no such thing as being of pure light. Most of those entities have some motivations, and by listening to them you can advance spiritually, but at most times also become their tool. It looks like entities of light and dark are playing a game of chess, and people are their pawns...

[G3MM4]

I'm sorry but I really do disagree with you. For example, God is a being of light. Are you saying He is not pure light? Jesus is a being of light, is He not pure light?

And yes, while beings of light are capable of thinking "negative" thoughts, the Holy Spirit "takes" these "negative" thoughts and so these beings of light can only think "positive" thoughts, and so if they can't think of negative things then they can't act on these thoughts, so therefore they aren't going to commit negative acts, such as the ones you are talking about. There's a logic there.

In order to commit negative acts, they need to be thought of in the first place. If you're in the light, you simply can't do that because there is no room at all for negative thought/action in the light. Just because some people have fallen foul of some dark entities pretending to be spirit guides doesn't mean that all or most beings of light aren't pure light. It isn't them who are commiting these acts.

Have you any other evidence to back your theory up? Because I have plenty of evidence to back mine up i.e. the accounts of millions of people who have had at least one NDE.

Another thing, listening to beings of light is not the only way how we advance spiritually. I believe we advance faster by living lives on Earth because life here is much harder, and here is where we learn the lessons we need to learn in order to advance spiritually. Of course, different people have different beliefs on this subject.

Anyway that's all I wanted to say on the subject for now.

[CaCoDeMoN]

I can say that Jesus is a being of pure light, because the Christian priest that is teaching religion in my school is a very spiritual person. He developed very strong connection with Jesus through prayer, and he is emanating with such love, that I didn't seen in any other human. He has absolutely no greed or anger, and he gives all the money he earns(and priests in Poland earn very much) to the people that need it.
I am not sure if God is also a positive entity. With so many ages of people saying "God hates this, God hates that" and waging wars in the name of God, and religions saying that God will cast people that did something wrong or do not believe in him in the lake of fire, so they can receive their endless suffering, it is possible that God was corrupted, and also has negative aspects. But I am not sure of this, and of course I can be wrong.
And another question is: why would anyone like to give up their independence, and serve to any higher being?

[crahzz]

Hi...

I've been reading up a bit and it strikes me that a lot of you are very religious. I have nothing against religion, only I dont believe in god, ar a god. This maybe because I am more of a scientific person but that is not the point.

It's a good question, why would anyone serve a higher being, what if there is no higher being? People are so consumed with their religion that they see things non believers dont see.. a sign of god or just something that happens.

All I know is that the story about christ is not true, I dont want to convince you into stopping to believe. But look at the facts... there where explenations for all the things he did thousands of years before christ was born. And the fact that he had a brother and a wife is not mentioned in the bible. Also check on the findings of Leonardo Da Vinci, the church burned over 20,000 of his notes to keep something from being discovered. the church also prosecuted and sentanced to death renowned scientists from all over the world, and even now they dont want to talk about it.

Just to emphasize there is a fine line between the christian religion and the christian church. The entire god thing sounds like a nice story to me instead of an actual truth, which will undoubtably reveal itself in a couple of years.

The question is in fact; what does faith have to do with the essence of a person.. is a believer the only one who can "see the light"? Or can some people, like Da Vinci be so far ahead of their time that they see it as well

greetings

[CaCoDeMoN]

I am not a religious person. I've just said that entities like Jesus, Christian God, Virgin Mary, Allah, etc. really do exist. Event if entity would not exist in physical world first, it would be created as a thought-form by collective consciousness, and could manifest in a physical world just like a ghost, but in much more powerful way. If you don't believe in this, read some texts on chaos magick, and try to create a thought-form with some friends. If you wold be able to get about 7 persons participating in project, the thought-form could manifest itself in physical world in about a month.

[G3MM4]

I can say that Jesus is a being of pure light, because the Christian priest that is teaching religion in my school is a very spiritual person.

Just because a priest in your school is very spiritual doesn't mean that you know Jesus is a being of pure light. You have to believe it for yourself - that is if you want to, not because someone else is saying it.

I am not sure if God is also a positive entity.

Without God, there could be no Jesus, because Jesus is the Son of God. If Jesus is a being of pure light, then so is God.

With so many ages of people saying "God hates this, God hates that" and waging wars in the name of God, and religions saying that God will cast people that did something wrong or do not believe in him in the lake of fire, so they can receive their endless suffering, it is possible that God was corrupted, and also has negative aspects. But I am not sure of this, and of course I can be wrong.

God does not hate anything, you see, wars and many kinds of suffering, including the ones that are started in the name of religion are created by mankind, not by God. The basic reason why wars etc (especially the ones in the name of religion) start is because people just can't accept each other for who and what they believe in. Most of the suffering that we have in this world is caused by mankind. You think about it, cause and effect, chopping down rainforests for example can cause a change in weather/climate, which in turn causes all sorts of other problems. That's just an example. The lake of fire thing, well, that again is man-made. You see, hell and heaven is of your own making. God doesn't force anyone to be in hell, many souls choose to stay in the darkness (again that is perceived differently from person to person, some people believe hell to be a pit of fire or whatever, some people believe hell is a dark world that you go to etc.) because they are afraid to go into the light, where their true self will be exposed, all their past and present thoughts/actions/deeds are there for all to know. In reality, there is nothing to be afraid of in the light. It's just that some souls have done so many things to hurt others, they are ashamed of what they have done. There is no actual lake of fire, or pit of fire or whatever - it's just perceived that way by many people, partly due to their "imagination" or due to they way they were taught about God and their religion.

And another question is: why would anyone like to give up their independence, and serve to any higher being?

Who said anything about giving up independance to serve God? God doesn't force you to do that, you are still independant in your thinking, ideas, beliefs etc when you serve God. For example, I'm not religious at all, I don't follow any religion, I'm just very spiritual. So I have the freedom and independance to believe in what I want, and I'm still able to love and serve God.

And the fact that he had a brother and a wife is not mentioned in the bible.

That doesn't mean that Christ does not exist. There is only one way to read the Bible, in order for it to tell you the absolute truth. That is to read it spiritually. The problem is that a lot of people read the Bible in such a way that they're either expecting to find contradictions, or they read it and interpret it in a way that fits in with their ideas or religion. If you go looking for something, or if you expect to find something, then the chances are that you will find what you expect to find. For example, if you expect to find missing information or contradictions when reading the Bible, then that is what you will find. But if you read the Bible in a spiritual way, then you will see nothing but the truth.

Also check on the findings of Leonardo Da Vinci, the church burned over 20,000 of his notes to keep something from being discovered. the church also prosecuted and sentanced to death renowned scientists from all over the world, and even now they dont want to talk about it.

I can see why this is: it's because the Church doesn't like anything or anyone that goes against what it teaches. This was the case in the past, and it's still the case now.

is a believer the only one who can "see the light"?

No, even the most evil soul will see the light eventually. This could take eons or just a moment to achieve (remember that time virtually doesn't exist in the spirit world), but they will come to see the light eventually. Non-believers can choose to stay in the light or in the darkness when they enter the spirit world, but all paths eventually comes back to one thing - God. Also, I'd like to mention that I have read accounts of non-believers changing the way they think about life, and how they see life and God during their NDEs. So this is good evidence IMO that non-believers can see the light.

I have tried to explain things as I see them, and I've explained why I see these things in the way that I do. Of course, you are welcome to believe in what you want, but I hope I've shed some light on some of the things that are being discussed.

[CaCoDeMoN]

So why God preferred Jews above other nations in Old Testament? Or why he demanded animals to be sacrificed for him?

[G3MM4]

He didn't prefer Jews over other religions. It's shown that he does not care what religion (or sexual orientation for that matter too) you are in here, but it's a very long read (You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed to view the ebook). I suggest you take the time to read all of it. And try to understand what is being said. It's a good way to explain certain things.

As for sacrified animals, he did not demand it, it's just what people perceived at the time. People thought God was demanding the sacrifice of animals. Just because they thought that, and wrote it, doesn't mean they are correct.

Like I said you need to read the Bible in a spiritual way instead of a religious way. It must be remembered that the Bible is symbolic, in which case, it shouldn't be taken literally. This is all explained in the ebook.

Also take a look at the NDE website, although we're not talking about NDEs here, but it does explain a few things which relate to this discussion.

[CaCoDeMoN]

I would like to read that ebook, but when I try to open it with ghostscript, it tells me that file is invalid. The same if I use kpdf. Is there a html, or MSword version of this book?

[G3MM4]

No, you need the program Adobe Acrobat Reader which can be downloaded free from here.

I couldn't find your country from the Country drop down menu on the upper right side of the screen, so this is from the U.S. website. I hope this helps.

[CaCoDeMoN]

A problem with acrobat reader is that it works only on windows, there's no version for linux. I will try to import this file to Open Office, and convert it to .doc, or .html format...

[G3MM4]

OK, do try what you can to read the ebook, as it contains lots of factual information that relates to this discussion. I'm sure you'll find it useful and interesting to read.

[CaCoDeMoN]

Ok. I've uploaded this book to computer with Windows, and now it works! Thanks for link

[G3MM4]

No problem, it's a pleasure.

[CaCoDeMoN]

Hi G3MM4!
After reading six first cases from this book I can say that maybe my conception of world was wrong, and war does not exist on higher planes. If this is true(and probably is), why are the guides so obsessed with controlling people? In one of the first cases in this book a woman wanted to stay on earth for her son, so he could have real mother. Why then guides were forcing her to go, and took her back only when they received such command from above? And about a God: The entity that people are referring to as a God in this book is an entity of pure light and love. Jesus referred to the same entity in New Testament. But in Old Testament God was cruel, made mistakes, and was very human-like. I think that it was some other entity of great power, but not perfect and not embodying love. The things said by Jesus and by OT God are very different.
