I have a question for you all. Sometimes during the day I here someone calling my name, like their trying to get my attention, I look up to see who it is and there is nobody there, anywhere. I work landscaping so I'm used to people calling my name, but they are usually there! Any ideas what this is?
Are you zoning out on the riding lawnmower when this happens?
It's your main Guide (higher-self) calling for your attention

I did think I was just imagining this the first time I heard it, but after the fifth or more time I started to wonder!

So if this is my Guide (higher-self), Is there a way to develop this into something more substantial?
Yes. Meditate, Padawan, meditate!
wow, never thought about it being our higher being, I too have had this happin to me, ever sence I was five years old. kool.
Hi. Many people talk of higher selves, etc. I don't exactly define things. For me, I have many years of OBEing and lucid dreams. Thousands of them. Only over the last 2 years, I have started to notice other states, such as, e.g., in trance or in waking life where some similarities occur, like hearing things or seeing images, etc. At first, it totally freaked me out. I basically tried to shut it down. But, i think my fear came from feelings of external things -- feeling like ghosts. I find if I focus on what feels like myself ... people say higher, I tend to feel it as lower -- then, I feel not afraid. Anyway, i think it is perhaps hard to separate your imagination from what you perceive sometimes. But, i think sometimes it goes way beyond and it is clear. Anyway, if you listen, and relax, and let yourself embrace the potential with love inside, I think you will be shocked to hear a lot more. Anyway, often this happens when there is white noise in the background. To some extent, I think that is not because our minds play tricks on us, but because the white noise kind of prevents are sensory input and, hence, sort of opens the door to hear these sorts of things. That is, you can probably hear it any time as long as your senses are not picking up other things ... but, that only happens when you are sleeping, close to sleeping (like meditation), or surrounded by white noise or the like ...
Anyway, probably it is an evil beast that wants to eat your brain! Ok, just kidding. :-) I think this stuff can all get very scary. It is one thing to watch a scary movie, than to live inside it and to be totally unfamiliar with the writer or ending to expect... In general, it sounds corny, but the way to overcome fear is to embrace in "love." That does not mean that you should put on blinders, and embrace someone with love if they attack you ... you can simply smile and move away...
