I must say, out of only concern.....
First, saying things like "I am awake" is nothing but ego (its best to just take a deep breath and call it what it is and just to note....we all must
absolutely must, be aware of what is ego and what is spirit).
Second....if we still hold tight to worries, fears, and duality......we are not reaching enlightenment in the true sense.
As I have said before....many get stuck in the phase of 'experiences'....for the experiences in themselves FEEDS THE SELF. If there is not outside
observing going on or eventually going on during or after the experiences....people take them literally and get stuck in what some call the 'saintly'
phase of development.
Experiences are personal.....very very personal....message of ones true self trying to rise to their consciousness.
But it is pretty much a fact that without preconceived images, ideas, ect....people would not have what they need in their unconsciousness to bring
forth messages.
There are times where the personal consciousness adds creativity to an image and adds their own personal attraction or distaste to it (depending on
the nature of the character/message) and things like 'new names' can pop out from their own personal additions.
To be having experiences....as well as having fear and paranoia at the same time...concerns me.
There are several reasons peoples mind reaches out to 'self'. Some are simply because the person is seeking and open the door. But if that person has
not emptied their cup of what they think is 'truth' they will only rehash their own thoughts...for their ego is so sure that it 'knows' already. Some
people cant explain why their first 'experience' happened'....they have honestly seemed to search the avenues like 'pride, to be gratified, to be
proven, seeking themselves, critical situations'.....and it seems that the unconscious does decide itself somethings.....when its time to reach out to
the 'self'. Maybe such things are triggered by emotions that are deep within that the conscious persons isnt really aware they are suppressing or
holding. Then...there is a critical situation....car wrecks....someone passing on from someone....freak moments/accidents.....trauma....that most
definitely have been known to be the automatic door that opens up between unconsciousness and consciousness to bring a message, reassurance, hope,
stability, love, deal with fear, encouragement, ect.
Its not that experiences are not worthless...for they ARE priceless BUT personal. One needs to not get caught up in the fact that they can have them
or have had them. The message is something very personal to that persons 'self' from their Spirit. Masks will be worn....images will have faces and
shapes....the unconsciousness will work with anything that has already been placed there throughout life....and use it as a 'messenger'.
When knowing there is nothing outside of Spirit and that Spirit is the only thing that is incarnated into every single life and being there ever was
and ever will be.....one can start to see how such things are possible. Every seemingly past life....can be taken personal if the person is attached
to being a self....or if they manage to further develop after the 'saintly/opening of the 3rd eye' level.....they can get to understand that the
Spirit allows you to see.....what will benefit you PERSONALLY....it allows you to see into many phases of Spirit in ways that will help you sort out
'what has been and what will be'. There is still a catch even in the level of being guided by Spirit......you, your 'ego' self, can be very very
tricky. Your heart has to be separate from your mind at this level....your heart must be able to step outside the body/mind and observe and be willing
to check in all honesty.....if what you 'see' in the messages is due to your own blocking due to desires of what you wish things to be....doubts of
what you have already decided you would never accept.....needs like being loved, comforted, or to be giving a energy boost because life gets you down.
You have to observe in all honesty....after the level of your 3rd eye opening (experiences).....if you emptied your cup and if the images are not
being blocked due to 'self' wants, needs, and ideas. This is why....many here in the west....do not get past the 'saintly' stage/opening of the 3rd
eye.....and can stay in that stage for years and years and years.....because it is SOOOOOO satisfying and fulfilling.....to the 'self'.
Im not going to say that eastern mystics and sages have it all right....but they stress on not getting stuck in the stage of 'experiences'....not that
you cant or should not keep having experiences....but the channel has to be open in fullness without any preconceived ideas....the messages are not
then going to be about annunaki ect.....but is going to be all about how to develop as a 'spiritual self' and how you are a part of 'life'. None of
the messages are going to bring fear or be based on 'concern/worries' that could rise paranoia or live in fear. In fact....true enlightenment should
be able to cast all ideas of duality to the side and see this world as everything is needed and it is one (as in it all works together for a larger
purpose).
I know this may not be taken well....and believe me, going through my own path in all of this was HARD. Many months of observing each level/phase and
trying to be honest in my observations and finding along the way I thought I was being honest but there at times hid pride or fear or doubts that
caused alot of my experiences to be blocked from a full meaningful message. All in all...the messages showed me alot about me....some of them were
nothing but mirrors of my own self.
There comes a time in 'path of self development' that the being wont need images for a message to come. Some will practice this in small doses (but
never forget the ego can lace every message with something the 'self' is in need of that will only feed the self, not bring true wisdom of a
enlightened nature). But there can come a time on narrow path....that the messages from Spirit to 'soul' will flow more freely and there is communion
between the two.
Dont ever think that 'ego' cant be a part of 'higher consciousness'. It can actually led the way into very high stages of 'development' and the place
this turn happens at is when the third eye opens, when the person gets caught up in having experiences, and cant let go of their own ideas of what
history ect has told them. History triggers fears, worries, concerns, feeds the ego in that it 'knows' something of importance ect....and all of those
ideas must be emptied to make the open channel between spirit and soul. The spirit is not going to worry the soul about anything fear based, trapped
based, duality based.
Im not saying experiences are not real....Im saying....they can be laced for a long time with our own ideas, needs, desires, and doubts. Even making a
'channel of love' is not enough...to bring the pure channel needed for the Holy Spirit. Once one gets this....they see why God could never have a
name...they see why 'God/Spirit' cant ever be fulfilled with a image....they see why people have always called the Holy Spirit a 'she' and said she
was 'wisdom'. Spiritual wisdom and knowledge of things are very different things. Knowledge is not what makes a person enlightened....experiences do
not make a person enlightened....and there are stages beyond the 'opening of the 3rd eye/minds eye...and yes the ego can remain attached into very
high stages of soul development. Constant observation, constant emptying of the cup, constant and daily humbleness and honest can be practiced, to
make sure and double check.....one comes before their 'messengers' with a pure open channel that is not already filled with an 'I' that thinks it
'knows'.
Dont take my word for anything....only each us of can know if we are honest at heart and open in mind.
Just to note...we all have ego for we all are in a state of self...Im not denying that I have it but its a fine line to determine what is of 'self'
and what is of 'spirit'. Going back through experiences and thoughts and discerning them....is a long process in itself and many dont venture that
process for they get 'stuck' in what is fulfilling to the 'self'.
