Your Biggest Spiritual Questions? https://www.openhandweb.org/ en Is intervention placing 'signs' on the path? https://www.openhandweb.org/intervention-placing-signs-path <span property="schema:name" data-quickedit-field-id="node/25872/title/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-title field-formatter-string field-type-string field-label-hidden">Is intervention placing 'signs' on the path?</span> <div property="schema:text" data-quickedit-field-id="node/25872/body/en/fulltext" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-node--body field-formatter-text-default field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden has-single"><div class="field__items"><div property="schema:text" class="field__item"><p>During the breakout room with Michele today a matter that came up boils down to this:</p><p>You go down a particular road and signs and synchronisities show that you're on the right path. Now you have come to that conclusion, how do you discern further down the road whether subsequent signs and synchs are further confirmations or are placed there by intervention as subtle attempts at derailment? After all, intervention has established you now place trust in this path.</p><p>I've just spend some time walking around outside, not readily contemplating this matter but I believe I got the answer anyway.</p><p>It started with me for no particular reason looking at the side of a parked truck. It was from a local brewery with the slogan 'brewed with intuition and experience'.</p><p>Next was a row of letterboxes where my attention was drawn. We have particular stickers you can get to indicate whether or not you are interested in commercial pamphlets and/or local free papers and such. All of the letterboxes had a sticker indicating nobody was interested.</p><p>Then the penny dropped. The slogan doesn't tell me what to do; it indicates that the answer comes from my own intuition and experience. The letterboxes indicated that if it is delivered to you, disregard it. These things together told me that signs and synchs never indicate a hard yes or no. So if you look for them to indicate if you are on the right path, and the resulting experience points to a hard yes or no, then it is best to question it.</p><p>Not so long ago I was contemplating an inquiry while walking outside and at some point I put it out there: should I or should I not do this? At that moment someone with a green coat walked around the corner. I considered it to be a sign, but in my new understanding I now see that it is an obvious placement of YES and therefore likely to be intervention energy. The slogan and the letterboxes were 'merely' a look-at-this-and-see-what-you-think-of-it. Which to me fits perfectly with benevolence not intervening in your development.</p><p>I would like to hear any reflections anyone may have on this.</p></div></div> </div> <span rel="schema:author" data-quickedit-field-id="node/25872/uid/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-uid field-formatter-author field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/36252" lang="" about="/user/36252" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Love-the-journey</a></span> <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2024-11-14T14:08:32+00:00" data-quickedit-field-id="node/25872/created/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-created field-formatter-timestamp field-type-created field-label-hidden">Thu, 11/14/2024 -

There's better clarity on this. To me, what yo⁸u describe as "doubt" doesn't sound like doubt at all but a natural questioning principle of the soul and how it expresses in this density. Although it could descend into doubt when we are uncomfortable with uncertainty. </p><p>What I mean by doubt is the negative influence where I question myself and my expressions in relation to others and start comparing. This is based on some learned value system. </p><p>Self-belief is the connection to the source presence, as you have described. Interestingly, that connection dimnishes any negative influence and thereby self-doubt. No matter what the conditional value system is, self-doubt is not experienced at this point. </p><p>What I gather from your reflections is that it's an identity filter (soul imposter) that I experience possibly around ray 3, in which case there could come a point where I dont experience it anymore? There could be many and deeper layers of such filters around our strongest rays. It is being exposed through this inquiry and conversation. </p><p>I'm at a spectacular place called Rewalsar rich with karmic history both Tibetan and hinduism. I think this inquiry is also connected wider into the field but not exactly sure what though. There is a huge statue of the MonkeyGod(Hanuman) near to the lake. The place speaks of the original human connection and their subsequent downgradation. </p><p><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/1000014812_0.jpg" data-entity-uuid="d7c31651-54b2-4e0d-9f15-0038786f4d82" data-entity-type="file" alt="Hi"></p><p>Speaking of connection into the source</p><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/1000014495-01.jpeg" data-entity-uuid="52c02daf-434a-4388-8980-1edf01c285b7" data-entity-type="file"><p> </p><p>Thanks for the reflection. </p><p>Vimal 🙏</p></div></div> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=56429&1=default&2=en&3=" token="law_s59w8MDrNbhFkWFAc0-h0ZDr_C-mIrMlFtEZSg8"></drupal-render-placeholder></div> </div> </article> </div><article data-quickedit-entity-id="comment/56411" data-comment-user-id="10945" id="comment-56411" class="comment js-comment comment--type-comment-forum comment--view-mode-default by-node-author has-title clearfix"> <div class="comment__container"><h3 class="comment__title h4"> <a href="/comment/56411#comment-56411" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Self belief</a> <mark class="comment__new marker marker--success hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1731342071"></mark> </h3> <div class="comment__meta comment__meta--has-user-picture"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="user/10945/user_picture/en/compact" class="field field-user--user-picture field-formatter-image field-name-user-picture field-type-image field-label-hidden has-single"><figure class="field-type-image__figure image-count-1"><div class="field-type-image__item"> <a href="/user/10945"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/pictures/2023-11/IMG_20231124_185731%20%281%29.png?itok=3owIug9a" width="125" height="125" alt="Profile picture for user Vimal" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> </a></div> </figure></div> <div class="comment__submitted"> <span class="comment__author"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/10945" lang="" about="/user/10945" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Vimal</a></span> <span class="comment__pubdate">Mon, 11/11/2024 - 16:01</span> </div> </div> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="comment/56411/comment_body/en/default" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-comment--comment-body field-formatter-text-default field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-inline has-single"><h3 class="field__label">Comment</h3><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p>Is there a point in the journey where we could say we have reached absolute self belief ?

It still feels like I'm on the right path. Many things are going on, I am learning more and more about myself and recognizing/allowing the flow to move wherever it wants. There is one matter that really confuses me though.</p><p>I hardly ever remember my dreams and for years each one has to be categorized as a nightmare insofar that it is always about me being somewhere I really don't want to be and/or experiencing something I really don't want to experience. Since attending the retreat a few months back this has turned around into dreams just being really weird and only a nightmare some of the time. This topic is about three dreams in particular which I guess would have to be categorized as a nightmare with a twist. And I'm not entirely sure how to deal with them.</p><p>In all three of these cases it is about the ending. The dream itself seems unimportant and I cannot even remember them, but they all end with the dream ending and me lying in my bed (this still happens inside the dream), with in one case something I will describe as a vampire, one case a demon, and one case an invisible terrifying presence. In all three cases, the being approaches me and enters my body in an invasive and violent manner. At the time it approaches, I feel fear, and at the moment they enter my body, terro spreads throughout me but I have an automatic instinctive reaction: I immediately think: 'just breathe' and then I focus only on my breathing and let the terror happen. In the last of these dreams, I woke up actually gasping for air in a way I thought only happened in movies. So I will not call them pleasant experiences.</p><p>However, for reasons I cannot consciously comprehend, regardless of it being highly unpleasant it also feels like there is no real evil involved and that's just my dumb 3D brain categorizing the terror; as if these beings come to me because this needs to happen and the terror is a necessary. Like it is some sort of training, or testing, or preparation. To be clear, I have never had a lucid dream and the whole 'just breathe' thing that somehow happens is bafflingly inexplicable in my experience and unfortunately I cannot think of a single way in which to accurately describe that experience.</p><p>Because of the apparent contradiction in the emotions involved I have not been able to figure out if this truly is benevolence giving me experiences that are unpleasant but necessary for my evolution, or some subconscious intervention slowing me down, but slapping on a feeling of 'this is ok' to try and mislead me.</p><p>I am not asking you to answer this question; I know my path is my path and its up to me to interpret it. However, I do feel strongly that I should ask you for any reflection you feel after reading this.</p><p>Thank you, much love and respect as always,</p><p>Sander/LtJ</p></div></div> </div> <span rel="schema:author" data-quickedit-field-id="node/25535/uid/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-uid field-formatter-author field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/36252" lang="" about="/user/36252" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Love-the-journey</a></span> <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2024-07-21T17:43:22+00:00" data-quickedit-field-id="node/25535/created/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-created field-formatter-timestamp field-type-created field-label-hidden">Sun, 07/21/2024 - 17:43</span> <div data-quickedit-field-id="node/25535/taxonomy_forums/en/fulltext" class="field field-node-taxonomy-forums field-entity-reference-type-taxonomy-term field-formatter-entity-reference-label field-name-taxonomy-forums field-type-entity-reference field-label-above"><div class="field__label">Community</div><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item field__item--your-biggest-spiritual-questions"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/community/frequently-asked-questions-0" hreflang="en">Your Biggest Spiritual Questions?</a></span> </div></div> </div> <div class="node__links"><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment-add"><span class="comment-add__link-wrapper"><a href="/not-sure-what-think-demons-my-dreams#comment-form" title="Share your thoughts and opinions." class="comment-add__link" hreflang="en">Add new comment</a></span></li><li class="statistics-counter"><span class="statistics-counter__link-wrapper">66 views</span></li></ul></div><section data-quickedit-field-id="node/25535/comment_forum/en/fulltext" class="field field-node--comment-forum field-formatter-comment-default field-name-comment-forum field-type-comment field-label-above display-mode-threaded comment-bundle-comment-forum comment-wrapper"><div class="comment-form-wrapper"> <h2 class="comment-form__title h3">Add new comment</h2><drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&1=25535&2=comment_forum&3=comment_forum" token="pa9IxfOKhFM7GADEBxB663DkRz5e64RsgBwSfznq04U"></drupal-render-placeholder></div><a name="comments"></a> <h2 class="comment-field__title h3">Comments</h2> <article data-quickedit-entity-id="comment/55043" data-comment-user-id="10786" id="comment-55043" class="comment js-comment comment--type-comment-forum comment--view-mode-default has-title clearfix"> <div class="comment__container"><h3 class="comment__title h4"> <a href="/comment/55043#comment-55043" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">When entities 'vampire' energy from you - how to work?</a> <mark class="comment__new marker marker--success hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1721718303"></mark> </h3> <div class="comment__meta comment__meta--has-user-picture"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="user/10786/user_picture/en/compact" class="field field-user--user-picture field-formatter-image field-name-user-picture field-type-image field-label-hidden has-single"><figure class="field-type-image__figure image-count-1"><div class="field-type-image__item"> <a href="/user/10786"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/pictures/2020-02/Open.jpg?itok=GNBqksH7" width="125" height="106" alt="Profile picture for user Open" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> </a></div> </figure></div> <div class="comment__submitted"> <span class="comment__author"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/10786" lang="" about="/user/10786" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Open</a></span> <span class="comment__pubdate">Tue, 07/23/2024 - 07:05</span> </div> </div> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="comment/55043/comment_body/en/default" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-comment--comment-body field-formatter-text-default field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-inline has-single"><h3 class="field__label">Comment</h3><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p>Hi Sander,</p><p>Apologies for not responding sooner - I'm away from where I usually work.</p><p>I would say you're intuiting the purpose of the dream well. You said...</p><blockquote><p><em>At the time it (the demon) approaches, I feel fear, and at the moment they enter my body, terro spreads throughout me but I have an automatic instinctive reaction: I immediately think: 'just breathe' and then I focus only on my breathing and let the terror happen.</em></p></blockquote><p><em>The only thing an entity can do to you is to cause you to react in your own fear - that way, they can latch onto your field. But by relaxing into the situation, there's nowhere for them to grasp onto. This does, however, require lots of practice - because there will be different layers to work through: at a mental level, emotional, and energetic.

It helps to know that, from a higher conscious perspective, an experience like this is 'just' another growth mechanism.</p><p>I would also like to mention that I've only just realized I posted my message on 21-7 at 7:43 in the evening, which makes me think I was one minute too late, but maybe that's a sign that I'm getting a little bit ahead of myself, but just a little bit. 7 has been prominent lately so all I can do is shake my head and wonder why I am still doubting that I'm on the right path. Well I know why: everything I'm doing completely contradicts common sense. My mind is kicking and screaming but it is no longer pulling the strings as I can somehow still muster the courage to say: you've been in control of this show long enough and it hasn't lead to fulfillment. We're doing this now no matter where it leads.</p><p>I feel that, if I have to translate my current experiences into the Openhand philosophy I would have to say that I'm riding the magician ray pretty strongly right now: I've been stumbling through the dark for two months now and haven't the slightest idea where it's heading. Common sense tells me I'm a complete madman but my inner spark tells me none of it matters if common sense only leads to an unhappy life. I had all these expectations of things getting completely magical from the get go but of course that didn't happen; though in many ways I feel that if I look back a year from now I will say: oh wait, all those small things I didn't notice at the time lead to... wherever I will be at that time.</p><p>Thanks again and I'm pretty sure we've not seen the last of each other :)</p></div></div> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=55069&1=default&2=en&3=" token="xbwOm8h9r4tu74pn5y5sd3FhjrS3arEWXKgfTbKJBSo"></drupal-render-placeholder></div> </div> </article> </div></section> Sun, 21 Jul 2024 17:43:22 +0000 Love-the-journey 25535 at https://www.openhandweb.org Anticipating the flow / Acting prematurely https://www.openhandweb.org/anticipating-flow-acting-prematurely <span property="schema:name" data-quickedit-field-id="node/25188/title/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-title field-formatter-string field-type-string field-label-hidden">Anticipating the flow / Acting prematurely</span> <div property="schema:text" data-quickedit-field-id="node/25188/body/en/fulltext" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-node--body field-formatter-text-default field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden has-single"><div class="field__items"><div property="schema:text" class="field__item"><p>Hi Open, may I ask what you think about this?</p> <p>As I said here before, after a relationship break-up I went to live with my parents. I lost almost everything I identified with, and this feeling of emptiness has left me with two choices only: either I don't live the flow fully - and so my ego fills that void with thoughts of suicide and murder - or I choose to fully live it and make great progress, as I have experienced in the past two weeks.</p> <p>The major problem is my mother, who is a toxic person: egocentric, arrogant, noisy, and completely invested in the drama. She has always made life very difficult for our family, and still does. I'm commited to ascending, but her presence is doing the opposite, especially in this phase. And yes, I know I manifest what I'm being within and she actually can be a great catalyst for my unfolding. But in a practical sense - and this may be coming from ego, sorry - that's not what's happening.</p> <p>I could sense that in a few months I'd be guided to buy a notebook, enabling me to work outside. I could really see the visions because they're connected to other synchronies regarding my career. However, now is NOT the time, probably because I don't have all the money yet. But since I could pay in installments, I decided to buy it. And once the notebook arrives, the flow will likely shape around this new acquision and guide me to work outside.</p> <p>I know this is an attempt to escape the situation. But as you said in 5GATEWAYS, at the beginning it's difficult to access the source pain and our focus should be more on creating space for the flow. So I wouldn't say it's an extremely distorted decision, you know, it's not like I'm packing my bags and running away. What do you think?</p> <p>Thank you <img alt="Praying Emoji" height="20" src="/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Praying_Emoji_ios10_020ec88e-ee33-496d-a95a-df23243cebf4.png" title="Praying Emoji" width="20" /><img alt="Praying Emoji" height="20" src="/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Praying_Emoji_ios10_020ec88e-ee33-496d-a95a-df23243cebf4.png" title="Praying Emoji" width="20" /><img alt="Praying Emoji" height="20" src="/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Praying_Emoji_ios10_020ec88e-ee33-496d-a95a-df23243cebf4.png" title="Praying Emoji" width="20" /><br /> Edu</p> </div></div> </div> <span rel="schema:author" data-quickedit-field-id="node/25188/uid/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-uid field-formatter-author field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/21405" lang="" about="/user/21405" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Edu</a></span> <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2023-12-20T00:04:51+00:00" data-quickedit-field-id="node/25188/created/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-created field-formatter-timestamp field-type-created field-label-hidden">Wed, 12/20/2023 - 00:04</span> <div data-quickedit-field-id="node/25188/taxonomy_forums/en/fulltext" class="field field-node-taxonomy-forums field-entity-reference-type-taxonomy-term field-formatter-entity-reference-label field-name-taxonomy-forums field-type-entity-reference field-label-above"><div class="field__label">Community</div><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item field__item--your-biggest-spiritual-questions"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/community/frequently-asked-questions-0" hreflang="en">Your Biggest Spiritual Questions?</a></span> </div></div> </div> <div class="node__links"><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment-add"><span class="comment-add__link-wrapper"><a href="/anticipating-flow-acting-prematurely#comment-form" title="Share your thoughts and opinions." class="comment-add__link" hreflang="en">Add new comment</a></span></li><li class="statistics-counter"><span class="statistics-counter__link-wrapper">111 views</span></li></ul></div><section data-quickedit-field-id="node/25188/comment_forum/en/fulltext" class="field field-node--comment-forum field-formatter-comment-default field-name-comment-forum field-type-comment field-label-above display-mode-threaded comment-bundle-comment-forum comment-wrapper"><div class="comment-form-wrapper"> <h2 class="comment-form__title h3">Add new comment</h2><drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&1=25188&2=comment_forum&3=comment_forum" token="WWekkEhSHw0V1xBN4sey3ErPGKo0u1oQP2N70SCJ-Ig"></drupal-render-placeholder></div><a name="comments"></a> <h2 class="comment-field__title h3">Comments</h2> <article data-quickedit-entity-id="comment/52575" data-comment-user-id="10786" id="comment-52575" class="comment js-comment comment--type-comment-forum comment--view-mode-default has-title clearfix"> <div class="comment__container"><h3 class="comment__title h4"> <a href="/comment/52575#comment-52575" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">You can't make a mistake on the path</a> <mark class="comment__new marker marker--success hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1703056472"></mark> </h3> <div class="comment__meta comment__meta--has-user-picture"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="user/10786/user_picture/en/compact" class="field field-user--user-picture field-formatter-image field-name-user-picture field-type-image field-label-hidden has-single"><figure class="field-type-image__figure image-count-1"><div class="field-type-image__item"> <a href="/user/10786"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/pictures/2020-02/Open.jpg?itok=GNBqksH7" width="125" height="106" alt="Profile picture for user Open" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> </a></div> </figure></div> <div class="comment__submitted"> <span class="comment__author"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/10786" lang="" about="/user/10786" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Open</a></span> <span class="comment__pubdate">Wed, 12/20/2023 - 07:14</span> </div> </div> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="comment/52575/comment_body/en/default" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-comment--comment-body field-formatter-text-default field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-inline has-single"><h3 class="field__label">Comment</h3><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p>Hi Edu - firstly I greatly commend the degree of self-reflection you've arrived at.

Some crypto savings that I was relying on had run out and I'm vulnerable more than ever. That was some kind of protection and now the only thing I can rely on is myself and I'm invited to constantly surrender into that. And I have reached the conclusion that, the path is not easy and it's definitely not for the faint hearted. Yes it's straightforward. I know I have created this situation and it is probably reflecting ancient ancestral karma I have been carrying in my field for so long. The challenge is that, many of the dark emotions are bubbling up to the surface - self doubt, worthlessness, comparison, jealousy, shame, regret to name a few. The most difficult is where I don't even trust the path I have chosen and regret the steps that I have taken. Maybe I should have taken a different route which could have served my physical self more, so says the mind. Yes I understand we don't create any situation we don't need. Maybe this is what coming into the physicality really means for a star soul configuration. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Regarding the support, as I was riding my bike yesterday thinking about all the possibility of action in the situation entertaining the different scenarios and visions in my head yet at the same asking show me to the universe, I saw a message on a Tshirt - "Hold your vision " with a stop hand sign. This seemed to be a direct message to be in the uncertainty and unknown and accept reality as it is. The body mind also has to adapt to the new found environment where it has gotten used to the comfort of knowing and abundance in the material. What is there to lose? Before I would have easily said, nothing but now I say many things and the biggest one is the pride. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Riding the wave of the soul is indeed jumping off a cliff edge. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Vimal 🙏</span></p> </div></div> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=52471&1=default&2=en&3=" token="nWx-FKIur0EG8Dscv7mRFaa6OfGbwQyS1J6I12MhDic"></drupal-render-placeholder></div> </div> </article> <div class="indented"><article data-quickedit-entity-id="comment/52516" data-comment-user-id="36252" id="comment-52516" class="comment js-comment comment--type-comment-forum comment--view-mode-default has-title clearfix"> <div class="comment__container"><h3 class="comment__title h4"> <a href="/comment/52516#comment-52516" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Hi Vimal, After reading this…</a> <mark class="comment__new marker marker--success hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1702473485"></mark> </h3> <div class="comment__meta comment__meta--has-user-picture"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="user/36252/user_picture/en/compact" class="field field-user--user-picture field-formatter-image field-name-user-picture field-type-image field-label-hidden has-single"><figure class="field-type-image__figure image-count-1"><div class="field-type-image__item"> <a href="/user/36252"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/pictures/2024-11/Eys2.jpg?itok=Swi9DmAn" width="125" height="93" alt="Profile picture for user Love-the-journey" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> </a></div> </figure></div> <div class="comment__submitted"> <span class="comment__author"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/36252" lang="" about="/user/36252" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Love-the-journey</a></span> <span class="comment__pubdate">Wed, 12/13/2023 - 13:18</span> </div> </div> <div class="comment__content"> <p class="comment__parent visually-hidden">In reply to <a href="/comment/52471#comment-52471" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Surrendering into Oneself</a> by <a title="View user profile." href="/user/10945" lang="" about="/user/10945" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Vimal</a></p><div data-quickedit-field-id="comment/52516/comment_body/en/default" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-comment--comment-body field-formatter-text-default field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-inline has-single"><h3 class="field__label">Comment</h3><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p>Hi Vimal,</p> <p>After reading this post I felt the need to reply as follows. So I hope this somehow helps you on your path.</p> <p>For me the past few months have been a rollercoaster ride of spiritual growth. Answers always lead to more questions but sometimes I found an answer which raised so many new questions that it was instantly tiring and I felt a need to give up; great, ten more corridors to go down while trying to maintain a degree of sanity while being still very much locked in the nine-to-five system. There have been two moments where I have intentionally lowered my vibration just to get back to the familiar, to take a break so to speak. My method consisted of ordering an oversized amount of fast food while drinking a bottle of alcohol while hanging back with some dumb movie and just throw this whole awakening stuff in the corner for a while. Upon reflection, this method worked for me because at a vibrational level it ties in well to many of the... old hooks? of my... former life? I am reluctant with these terms as I fear they may not offer the best description of my meaning but unfortunately they are the best descriptors at this moment. All I wish to add is that, if the above is meaningful to you in any way, I sincerely hope you have a more wholesome way available to you.</p> <p>Why do I write this? Well, I suppose my main point is that I have found it can be quite liberating and beneficial for overall growth to intentionally drop your vibration for a while if you feel things are going too fast and/or too confusion and/or basically anything that starts with 'too'. This comment mainly comes forth from reading where you mention the dark emotions that come bubbling up, and losing your trust in the path you chose, both of which I recognize very well.</p> <p>I therefore wish to offer the thought that at times where you really no longer trust the path, it may actually be a, shall we say, disguised invitation to wander away from it in a straight line and forget about it... and in doing so it actually turns out to be a part of the path ;) For me, after a few days I would have 'calmed down' once more and found that I had already gotten back on the path without even realizing it somewhere in the meantime. This in itself was a meaningful sign that it was all OK.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="Praying Emoji" height="20" src="/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Praying_Emoji_ios10_020ec88e-ee33-496d-a95a-df23243cebf4.png" title="Praying Emoji" width="20" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div></div> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=52516&1=default&2=en&3=" token="ZptVyQ2cjoJJHj-tUoK_vVhR0AIDrcSEx5iwukIplTE"></drupal-render-placeholder></div> </div> </article> <div class="indented"><article data-quickedit-entity-id="comment/52517" data-comment-user-id="33563" id="comment-52517" class="comment js-comment comment--type-comment-forum comment--view-mode-default has-title clearfix"> <div class="comment__container"><h3 class="comment__title h4"> <a href="/comment/52517#comment-52517" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Does falling off the path serve our soul?</a> <mark class="comment__new marker marker--success hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1702483678"></mark> </h3> <div class="comment__meta comment__meta--has-user-picture"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="user/33563/user_picture/en/compact" class="field field-user--user-picture field-formatter-image field-name-user-picture field-type-image field-label-hidden has-single"><figure class="field-type-image__figure image-count-1"><div class="field-type-image__item"> <a href="/user/33563"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/pictures/2022-12/20221206_183129.jpg?itok=qKKi2SrU" width="125" height="125" alt="Profile picture for user Asya" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> </a></div> </figure></div> <div class="comment__submitted"> <span class="comment__author"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/33563" lang="" about="/user/33563" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Asya</a></span> <span class="comment__pubdate">Wed, 12/13/2023 - 15:13</span> </div> </div> <div class="comment__content"> <p class="comment__parent visually-hidden">In reply to <a href="/comment/52516#comment-52516" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Hi Vimal, After reading this…</a> by <a title="View user profile." href="/user/36252" lang="" about="/user/36252" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Love-the-journey</a></p><div data-quickedit-field-id="comment/52517/comment_body/en/default" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-comment--comment-body field-formatter-text-default field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-inline has-single"><h3 class="field__label">Comment</h3><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p>Hi Love-the-journey,</p> <p>It's no easy journey, I know it very well.

I reading a lot of parallels in these posts and they are useful and encouraging, thank you. There seems to be some blow back to accelerating ever harder on the spiritual advanco-pedal. It's like I come to expect it now and the period of integration can be brutal. At the moment, I would call it hanging onto my gains. Elements of my field seem to be playing catch up, mainly physically. It's hard to read spiritually related matters, hard to exercise, it's like I've been temporarily contained. The question is, is this part of my process and is it ok to tolerate it to a degree, or even necessary? Eating denser food with plenty of treats, yes but softening by gently extending the fasting periods. Feeling disinclined to pursue some new projects but finding I could proceed with one, guitar, fine, do more of that. Intuitively, what is being asked of me presently is surrender, to the point of not expecting too much from myself and particular outcomes. Maybe this is the time to coast, get out of my own way and allow and that may take time. There are clues that all is well, hearing myself express coherently and clearly, effortlessly as if I was quite detached from myself speaking. And recently, intense blissful waves of love and harmony arising from the simple act of placing my hand over my heart. And I totally resonate with taking care not to slide back, so to speak, to the derailing behaviours of the past. Thankfully I can see them multidimensionally, fanning out in all directions and the avenues they point to. Momentary gratification seems so pointless in that situation.

I have been reading some of your posts and remember seeing you in Ascension exchanges. I see your post has generated some great inquiries within everyone. Amazing! So I felt to post what moved for me. </p> <p>For me the path disappears as I discover that I don't have any control at all and thus step positively into the unknown. The path is defined by a goal or an outcome we think we must attain - perfection for example. </p> <p>And instead of the path there is an unfolding - into ever finer layers of myself. As each subconscious fears gets peeled away, we embody new gifts through which the path forges itself. No longer there is a following of a path but we are creating it as we go! Every path, even and especially the spiritual path can be a baggage that we carry which must be let go at some point on the path. It's a tremendous liberation! It allows us the freedom to do mistakes and thus discover that these mistakes are actually important elements on the path.</p> <p>If there's a desire or pull to have an experience even though we know that it lowers our vibration, I have found it's best to go and experience it and thus find out where my hooks are in it. I become more self accepting through it. Eventually we find out if those experiences really serve us or not. </p> <p>So if we perceive a path, it can be beneficial to wander off from it for a while and discover that it was actually a part of the path! </p> <p>I wanted to add an interesting synchronicity I noticed after posting this comment here. I went for a walk afterwards and felt a strong pull to take a different and unfamiliar route than my usual one. The first thing I noticed was a discarded packet of chips in which was written - No Rulz. Indeed we make up our own! And next some pictures of rabbits. I think it means vulnerability to the unknown. This path eventually led to me the one I usually take! It confirmed what I had expressed - we never actually wander off from our path. It's a cosmic joke we play on ourselves! </p> <p>Well wishes </p> <p>Vimal 🙏</p> </div></div> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=52523&1=default&2=en&3=" token="3raq-E6iovlUgF9gXWl7L5nfOB3mV_RoBfgruODaPTg"></drupal-render-placeholder></div> </div> </article> </div></div><article data-quickedit-entity-id="comment/52439" data-comment-user-id="10945" id="comment-52439" class="comment js-comment comment--type-comment-forum comment--view-mode-default by-node-author has-title clearfix"> <div class="comment__container"><h3 class="comment__title h4"> <a href="/comment/52439#comment-52439" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Divine support </a> <mark class="comment__new marker marker--success hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1701789715"></mark> </h3> <div class="comment__meta comment__meta--has-user-picture"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="user/10945/user_picture/en/compact" class="field field-user--user-picture field-formatter-image field-name-user-picture field-type-image field-label-hidden has-single"><figure class="field-type-image__figure image-count-1"><div class="field-type-image__item"> <a href="/user/10945"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/pictures/2023-11/IMG_20231124_185731%20%281%29.png?itok=3owIug9a" width="125" height="125" alt="Profile picture for user Vimal" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> </a></div> </figure></div> <div class="comment__submitted"> <span class="comment__author"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/10945" lang="" about="/user/10945" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Vimal</a></span> <span class="comment__pubdate">Tue, 12/05/2023 - 15:21</span> </div> </div> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="comment/52439/comment_body/en/default" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-comment--comment-body field-formatter-text-default field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-inline has-single"><h3 class="field__label">Comment</h3><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p> </p> <p>Why should the divine support us? <br /> What is divine? </p> <p>My mind can comprehend that, when I break through the density into the lightness it can create some opportunity in the external.

The ego would want to win in every situation or rather desire the situation to go a particular way to elevate itself. And spiritual identity would have some judgment against wanting to win. But the truth would be the torus is yearning to win in every situation also.

It suggests some intent somewhere to support spiritually aligned things, universal love and acceptance, for example. But isn't the homeostatic mechanism of the Brahmin outbreath and inbreath to self actualise before returning to the 'resting' state. You wouldn't go out to destroy yourself, what would be the point? So, the interesting point is error, in the greater scheme of things. Allowing fractals of oneself free will in an amnesic state seems to invite error. To me this suggests that potential has to be actualised to be felt. Conscious observation makes a potential a reality, a wave a particle and this something more real than dreamy. In the process the one is 'solidifying' existence through fractalised exploration of potential.

Interesting terms, 'feels like purpose, motive and intention. That infers that if something is merely aware, as the one was in the beginning before the big bang ( of relative motion), it had no feelings. Feelings are motion are the masculine energy of exploration. The feminine energy tends to hold back, the wise base of knowing ( roughly speaking?). The 'seems to' element is derived from motion. The one created motion, therefore did the one not create motive? Of course, if you think my mind loops drive you mad, what do you think they do to me? My point is that the source may have had no attributes, but has created attributes. My character creates attributes that identify me. Whoops, 'identify me'....so I am both.

According to the medium the original soul has already left (I'm not sure at what point in time) meaning there has been  no overlapping phase. The reason I went to her with my question was the feeling of actually being soul less. The original soul spent 20 years of going through spiritual awakening and during that time I considered myself a light worker. While now, I simply don't feel anything, in contrary of how many describe a walk-in as a spiritual awakening (allthough it may very well be an awakening, I'm just not experiencing it as what the original soul would call an awakening, or as how many people describe it. As those experiences are the only ones I can relate to, my current state feels very neutral, empty, emotionless and blasé. Quite comfortable compared to the previous me, but I don't recognise this way of being, I lost interest in everything, without the feeling of beeing depressed. It's not like I lost interest in many things and started to take an interest in completely different  things; I simply don't feel interested in anything. I'm not sure how common it is for a walk-in to take place without any overlapping between the souls, nor taking place during a coma or severe accident. I feel like I have been floating in no man's land for quite some time now. The neutrality may not only be the "soul less space" I'm in but also the actual new personality. I have also been ill for 4 months, since the day after I received this information from the medium and became concioussly aware of it. I'm assuming receiving the information was the kick off for the integration work, and it's been very hard on my physical body. I can share this with a group of people in my area, however I do feel quite lonely in the process and I can't share it with friends and family, I feel the need of talking about this whith others who have knowledge about it and have been through the same thing. </p> </div></div> </div> <span rel="schema:author" data-quickedit-field-id="node/23874/uid/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-uid field-formatter-author field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"><span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2022-04-21T21:25:05+00:00" data-quickedit-field-id="node/23874/created/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-created field-formatter-timestamp field-type-created field-label-hidden">Thu, 04/21/2022 - 21:25</span> <div data-quickedit-field-id="node/23874/taxonomy_forums/en/fulltext" class="field field-node-taxonomy-forums field-entity-reference-type-taxonomy-term field-formatter-entity-reference-label field-name-taxonomy-forums field-type-entity-reference field-label-above"><div class="field__label">Community</div><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item field__item--your-biggest-spiritual-questions"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/community/frequently-asked-questions-0" hreflang="en">Your Biggest Spiritual Questions?</a></span> </div></div> </div> <div class="node__links"><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment-add"><span class="comment-add__link-wrapper"><a href="/walk-1#comment-form" title="Share your thoughts and opinions." class="comment-add__link" hreflang="en">Add new comment</a></span></li><li class="statistics-counter"><span class="statistics-counter__link-wrapper">94 views</span></li></ul></div><section data-quickedit-field-id="node/23874/comment_forum/en/fulltext" class="field field-node--comment-forum field-formatter-comment-default field-name-comment-forum field-type-comment field-label-above display-mode-threaded comment-bundle-comment-forum comment-wrapper"><div class="comment-form-wrapper"> <h2 class="comment-form__title h3">Add new comment</h2><drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&1=23874&2=comment_forum&3=comment_forum" token="z7eAd63EWznMPllnpWMet3ATSUZznh_owX15_fiwXMI"></drupal-render-placeholder></div><a name="comments"></a> <h2 class="comment-field__title h3">Comments</h2> <article data-quickedit-entity-id="comment/45677" data-comment-user-id="30603" id="comment-45677" class="comment js-comment comment--type-comment-forum comment--view-mode-default has-title clearfix"> <div class="comment__container"><h3 class="comment__title h4"> <a href="/comment/45677#comment-45677" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">The body-mind layer </a> <mark class="comment__new marker marker--success hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1651040930"></mark> </h3> <div class="comment__meta comment__meta--has-user-picture"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="user/30603/user_picture/en/compact" class="field field-user--user-picture field-formatter-image field-name-user-picture field-type-image field-label-hidden has-single"><figure class="field-type-image__figure image-count-1"><div class="field-type-image__item"> <a href="/user/30603"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/pictures/2024-08/lion%27s%20gate.jpg?itok=tJyPLYI_" width="125" height="83" alt="Profile picture for user Lyra" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> </a></div> </figure></div> <div class="comment__submitted"> <span class="comment__author"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/30603" lang="" about="/user/30603" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Lyra</a></span> <span class="comment__pubdate">Tue, 04/26/2022 - 16:57</span> </div> </div> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="comment/45677/comment_body/en/default" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-comment--comment-body field-formatter-text-default field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-inline has-single"><h3 class="field__label">Comment</h3><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p>Your consciousness is not in the body-mind.</p> <p>The body-mind is in your consciousness.</p> <p><iframe allow="accelerometer;

Being a walk-in is certainly no easy experience to integrate. But know that if it happened, then it happened for a reason.</p> <p>The crucial thing is to allow what comes up and not judge the experience. Because there's always a truth in it.</p> <p>When people speak of being a "light worker" they often get attached to what they consider to be "the light" - expansion, bliss, love, joy. These are held up in the spiritual mainstream as a great virtue, to be aimed for and acquired. It can be extremely derailing for someone who is not feeling that way - they get caught in the trap of not accepting what they're experiencing and constantly seeking something else.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Let's be clear, the Void of Presence from which all states arise, is not joyful, happy or blissed. Although these states can arise from it, so can others too - like simply being present. Still. Content. Harmonious. It is not seeking or searching for anything. It just is. But resistance to this, because one is efforting to something else, write's over the subtleties of that state. You then miss the other frequencies around it - like stillness and patience. Deep acceptance.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>You say it's been very hard in the physical body. I'm not at all suprised. That's where to integrate now. How? By feeling into every physical reaction, every trigger and discomfort. Soften in and equalise with it - meaning to accept it to the degree you don't judge it or even define it. It just is. Don't try to heal or cure. Feel it fully and penetrate intimately through it. Karma will likely kick off - you'll need your <a href="https://openhandacademy.org/5d-ascension-program/breakthrough/"><strong>Breakthrough Process</strong></a> to integrate through that.</p> <p>Have no fear.

If I wasn't there to stop her, she would be dead by now.</p> <p>Borderline people have MUCH more intense emotions, high impulsivity, "black or white" thinking, and a distorted perception of reality — as if the world is against them (subconsciously). They also carry all the time a big terrifying feeling of emptiness/void that grows in intensity when conflict happens. I have a sense that this is the source pain, and if they put the attention there, they will be cured. But my girlfriend just can't access the fullness of it. And when she does, the pain is immeasurably existential.</p> <p>The subject of "mental disorder" has always intrigued me... if we're all consciousness and energy beings, people with mental disorders simply have more stuff to process (trauma, guilt, grief, etc), right? But it's far from that simple in real life since the borderline symptoms are very specific, and <strong>there's scientific proof that many areas of their brain are damaged/deficient/hyperactive</strong>.</p> <p>So I always come up with the same question:<strong> if we're all subject to self-actualization, are these so-called incurable mental disorders (like borderline, schizophrenia and psychopathy) really incurable?</strong></p> <p>I'm also open to helpful insights regarding BPD.

When conflict arises, no matter what I say, I always end up being the oppressor. Ironically, her victimization has made me angry (aka the "oppressor") several times — which is something I do work with now to act in a more compassionate way.

However, it is not one that is at all unusual. In fact I'd say there are probably thousands or millions of relationships in that kind of polar dynamic. When someone is being heavily in the victim, yes, it can be that you always end up being the "oppressor", no matter what you do. And it does sound like a dynamic where your partner is highly empathic and easily takes on other energies. You often find that entities play in the dynamic so as to limit both partners and keep them locked in mutual co-dependency. It's a tricky situation which, speaking from experience, you'll have to work hard to resolve. That said, with courage and commitment, it can most certainly be resolved.</p> <p>Where anyone is suicidal, it can be that they actually are, or else the depression draws supportive attention, which is what they might really be craving. Or else there might well be karma of some kind of abuse, where the victim has taken on self blame and feels ashamed. What's really tough for the supportive partner is to realise that when they hold the space for it too much, the risk is only to perpetuate the cycles. And if you're too hard, it can remove any lifeline. Essentially the partner needs to sit in the discomfort and pain of what they're feeling until it ceases to identify. But many will resist this, or get angry and emotional and then project the energy and the blame onto the other. This then stops them equalising and thereby unravelling their karma. It's a vicious circle.</p> <p>First it is necessary to recognise if this is the kind of trap you find yourself in? If so, it takes commitment and persistance to break the cycles.</p> <p>One realisation is essential where someone is genuinely suicidal: it is they that has to come to the realisation that life is worth living. You cannot do it for them. They have to find the meaning. You might help by asking questions about what they find meaningful in life? But this has to follow them sitting in the pain and normalising in it.</p> <p>As hard as it may seem, and as counterproductive, actually I would say creating more space between you will be important - less co-dependency, for only then can the other start to explore their own sovereignty and strength of soul. For example, if you always go out for a walk together or socialise together then this can be highly limiting - especially to the person in the victim mode. If they always feel the supportive energy of the partner, it prevents them learning to stand on their own two feet - especially emotionally.</p> <p>Be aware that entites could be playing emotional cycles between you and her. Where are you attached? What outcome can you not accept? Work to unravel from the loops and cycles of repetitive behaviours that bind YOU in - this is YOUR journey just as much as it is hers.</p> <p>Where someone is highly empathic, although the cause of any problems will most likely be an unrealised soul aspect (karma), it will deplete various aspects of the body too, such as the adrenal glands. So working to heal adrenal burnout will also be important. If there are neurological complications, explore the herbal remedy root. There's always usually a solution.</p> <p>There with you.</p> <p>Open <img alt="Praying Emoji" height="20" src="/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Praying_Emoji_ios10_020ec88e-ee33-496d-a95a-df23243cebf4.png" title="Praying Emoji" width="20" /></p> </div></div> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=34126&1=default&2=en&3=" token="YiWaUw8WP2jRHmIWGSOlg00yNZUwTQiPoAsHjc56EAU"></drupal-render-placeholder></div> </div> </article> <div class="indented"><article data-quickedit-entity-id="comment/34221" data-comment-user-id="21405" id="comment-34221" class="comment js-comment comment--type-comment-forum comment--view-mode-default by-node-author has-title clearfix"> <div class="comment__container"><h3 class="comment__title h4"> <a href="/comment/34221#comment-34221" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Breaking co-dependency</a> <mark class="comment__new marker marker--success hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1609893267"></mark> </h3> <div class="comment__meta comment__meta--has-user-picture"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="user/21405/user_picture/en/compact" class="field field-user--user-picture field-formatter-image field-name-user-picture field-type-image field-label-hidden has-single"><figure class="field-type-image__figure image-count-1"><div class="field-type-image__item"> <a href="/user/21405"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/pictures/2023-12/rodion-kutsaiev-OQ0zP6AS2DI-unsplash%20-%20Copia.jpg?itok=RPxPwYtF" width="124" height="124" alt="Profile picture for user Edu" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> </a></div> </figure></div> <div class="comment__submitted"> <span class="comment__author"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/21405" lang="" about="/user/21405" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Edu</a></span> <span class="comment__pubdate">Wed, 01/06/2021 - 00:34</span> </div> </div> <div class="comment__content"> <p class="comment__parent visually-hidden">In reply to <a href="/comment/34126#comment-34126" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">The dynamic of oppressor and victim in relationships</a> by <a title="View user profile." href="/user/10786" lang="" about="/user/10786" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Open</a></p><div data-quickedit-field-id="comment/34221/comment_body/en/default" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-comment--comment-body field-formatter-text-default field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-inline has-single"><h3 class="field__label">Comment</h3><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p> </p> <p>Hi Open!

I did what you suggested and was surprised at how easy it is to actually communicate to them. Before today, I thought crystals are just beautiful stones that have certain energies or qualities that can be helpful to us, like warding off low vibrational entities or help facilitate our connection to higher realms. I didn't know we can actually "talk" to them.</p> <p>The answer I got from them was to reconnect them with the frequency of Mother Earth, which can be done through intention or meditation by first connecting myself to the frequency of Earth's core and then channeling that frequency into them to clear them, which I did. Taking them out into nature can also help, but that isn't possible for me at the moment. Anyway, now they feel just OK to me again, and I'm really glad.</p> <p>They also told me it can be done by using the "Torus Technique", which is apparently most effective in unblocking everything and just let everything flow as they should. I don't know what this technique is and how to work with it yet, but maybe one day I will. Perhaps you know how to use this technique, Open? Lol. Anyway, I'll stick to Mother Earth's frequency for now. It's just so easy for me to connect with her, and this technique can never go wrong.</p> <p>As for those two (a Moldavite and a manifestation quartz) who were attacked by entities while protecting me, they are actually not traumatised at all, even though they got real, visible claw marks on them. Nevertheless, they were energetically exhausted before I restored them. Now that they are good again, they told me they are not victims at all, regardless of what happened, so I don't need to feel sorry for them. It's interesting that they kind of reflect how I see myself now; not a victim to anything but a sovereign soul. It's an honour to have such good friends like my crystals who I can reflect with.</p> </div></div> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=32305&1=default&2=en&3=" token="ouHQ6VrWui3yUH1s_OkrKJ-w2zhnvg7WUdgh7y43WkM"></drupal-render-placeholder></div> </div> </article> </div></section> Fri, 22 May 2020 15:18:25 +0000 Blue Poppy 22583 at https://www.openhandweb.org Energetic implants placed during Reiki attunements? https://www.openhandweb.org/energetic-implants-placed-during-reiki-attunements <span property="schema:name" data-quickedit-field-id="node/21404/title/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-title field-formatter-string field-type-string field-label-hidden">Energetic implants placed during Reiki attunements?</span> <div property="schema:text" data-quickedit-field-id="node/21404/body/en/fulltext" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-node--body field-formatter-text-default field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden has-single"><div class="field__items"><div property="schema:text" class="field__item"><p> </p> <p type="cite">I came across Openhand's article about energetic implants while searching for something similar. I was doing it because I read someone's blog about Reiki being a<br /> restrictive practice.<br /> He mentioned about how Reiki masters put a negative energetic implant as a<br /> "cap" on the crown chakra during a master degree attunement so that your<br /> psychic and healing powers are dumbed down and you never move onto other<br /> healing practices. He got it removed by a known healer before Reiki attunement and it was present again after the attunement! This healer didn't know about his attunement. </p> <p type="cite"><br /> I was horrified by this. This person is a very credible healer and I respect<br /> his blog which has been going on for the last 30 years. A LOT of people<br /> support him and have also mentioned their experiences with this negative<br /> Reiki implant. I don't know how to process this.<br /> I'm a Reiki Master too. I have never attuned anyone as yet though.<br /> After my master degree attunement, I haven't been able to practice much as my<br /> life went into a downward spiral(starting from the time I learnt past life<br /> regression therapy). I have not been able to get up from that fall even after<br /> 2 years now. I'm experiencing less of psychic phenomenon now. Almost none.<br /> Which was not the case before. I used to immensely feel the Reiki energy<br /> before and it showed a lot of immediate benefit in my husband. Now it's a lot<br /> less. I also tried the ever so promising quantum touch healing. I didn't see even 10% of it's promised results. I don't know if<br /> this is a coincidence or if it's the so-called energetic "cap" if that blog<br /> is true. Or if it's just that there is nothing to experience right now.<br /> I have become very fearful of what that blog said about the implant. My reiki<br /> teacher did do something like a sealing on my crown chakra. She taught me<br /> also to do it. She said it was for the Reiki energy to remain open throughout<br /> life.<br /> I'm writing this in a hope that I'll get an answer. I'm already in a lot of distress in my life I don't want anything<br /> more under the disguise of Reiki. I'm trying hard to feel my psychic<br /> abilities again so that I can do psychic readings. But I've been unable to<br /> connect with any angels or guides. If this piece of information is true, I'll<br /> take steps to remove this block and reclaim my life.</p> <p> </p> </div></div> </div> <span rel="schema:author" data-quickedit-field-id="node/21404/uid/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-uid field-formatter-author field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/32319" lang="" about="/user/32319" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">artonawt</a></span> <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2019-06-27T10:21:46+00:00" data-quickedit-field-id="node/21404/created/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-created field-formatter-timestamp field-type-created field-label-hidden">Thu, 06/27/2019 - 10:21</span> <div data-quickedit-field-id="node/21404/taxonomy_forums/en/fulltext" class="field field-node-taxonomy-forums field-entity-reference-type-taxonomy-term field-formatter-entity-reference-label field-name-taxonomy-forums field-type-entity-reference field-label-above"><div class="field__label">Community</div><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item field__item--your-biggest-spiritual-questions"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/community/frequently-asked-questions-0" hreflang="en">Your Biggest Spiritual Questions?</a></span> </div></div> </div> <div class="node__links"><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment-add"><span class="comment-add__link-wrapper"><a href="/energetic-implants-placed-during-reiki-attunements#comment-form" title="Share your thoughts and opinions." class="comment-add__link" hreflang="en">Add new comment</a></span></li><li class="statistics-counter"><span class="statistics-counter__link-wrapper">631 views</span></li></ul></div><section data-quickedit-field-id="node/21404/comment_forum/en/fulltext" class="field field-node--comment-forum field-formatter-comment-default field-name-comment-forum field-type-comment field-label-above display-mode-threaded comment-bundle-comment-forum comment-wrapper"><div class="comment-form-wrapper"> <h2 class="comment-form__title h3">Add new comment</h2><drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&1=21404&2=comment_forum&3=comment_forum" token="GpkvqSaPVFwUB84NWofmiP6ZYPjs7eU2y5sH9dNJRyo"></drupal-render-placeholder></div><a name="comments"></a> <h2 class="comment-field__title h3">Comments</h2> <article data-quickedit-entity-id="comment/30448" data-comment-user-id="10786" id="comment-30448" class="comment js-comment comment--type-comment-forum comment--view-mode-default has-title clearfix"> <div class="comment__container"><h3 class="comment__title h4"> <a href="/comment/30448#comment-30448" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Self-realisation in healing and attunement practices</a> <mark class="comment__new marker marker--success hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1561655560"></mark> </h3> <div class="comment__meta comment__meta--has-user-picture"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="user/10786/user_picture/en/compact" class="field field-user--user-picture field-formatter-image field-name-user-picture field-type-image field-label-hidden has-single"><figure class="field-type-image__figure image-count-1"><div class="field-type-image__item"> <a href="/user/10786"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/pictures/2020-02/Open.jpg?itok=GNBqksH7" width="125" height="106" alt="Profile picture for user Open" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> </a></div> </figure></div> <div class="comment__submitted"> <span class="comment__author"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/10786" lang="" about="/user/10786" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Open</a></span> <span class="comment__pubdate">Thu, 06/27/2019 - 17:12</span> </div> </div> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="comment/30448/comment_body/en/default" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-comment--comment-body field-formatter-text-default field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-inline has-single"><h3 class="field__label">Comment</h3><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p>Hi Artonawt,</p> <p>Thanks for your sharing - it's a very important issue. Here at Openhand, we always working back to the self-realisation aspect - which is what the Universe is always doing through us, assuming we allow it to. It means we'll always find an answer to our problems by going back to first principles.</p> <p>I would say it would only be the very unscrupulous and misguided who would purposefully put dumbing down implants in someone's field to limit them. I doubt very much whether that has happened here.</p> <p>But often what can happen, is that Opposing Consciousness will feed into spiritual practices if we're not vigilant.</p> <p>To me, there are two key problems with Reiki and what you've shared:</p> <p>1). Reiki can be very prescriptive and rigid. Mind led intention is a key channel which opens doorways for Opposing Consciousness to get in - when one always approaches a situation in a specific way. I know there are Reiki practitioners who are becoming much more flexible in their approach because of this.<br /> 2). I would be extremely wary of allowing others to do attunements on you. Another healer/facilitator can resonate a vibration, but it is always up to you to integrate your own vibration. In other words, it can only be you that self-realises your own vibration.</p> <p>So if you found your psychic skills and sensitivity downgraded afterwards, you could see it as an important marker to change the way you approach your evolution. To depend less on someone out there 'fixing things' for you, and instead work with people that empower you to make your own realisations.</p> <p>If you gain this from the experience, I would say it was a lesson well learned.</p> <p>Wishing you well</p> <p>Open <img alt="Praying Emoji" height="20" src="/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Praying_Emoji_ios10_020ec88e-ee33-496d-a95a-df23243cebf4.png" title="Praying Emoji" width="20" /></p> </div></div> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=30448&1=default&2=en&3=" token="Hnllf0BlA47xrZDp50LyJAz9xRnNdqXXcKDC69MTqPU"></drupal-render-placeholder></div> </div> </article> </section> Thu, 27 Jun 2019 10:21:46 +0000 artonawt 21404 at https://www.openhandweb.org Assistance with entities https://www.openhandweb.org/assistance-entities <span property="schema:name" data-quickedit-field-id="node/21239/title/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-title field-formatter-string field-type-string field-label-hidden">Assistance with entities</span> <div property="schema:text" data-quickedit-field-id="node/21239/body/en/fulltext" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-node--body field-formatter-text-default field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden has-single"><div class="field__items"><div property="schema:text" class="field__item"><p>Hi,</p> <p>I've recently been struggling with a lot of spiritual problems which have been causing some mental health issues for me. I'm not exactly sure what has gone wrong, except to say there has been a lot of dark energy and low vibrational entities which had attached to me all of a sudden. I do however know the moment all this started, because I was half-asleep and started to pray. I got as far as "I pray to" and before I could finish off my prayer I was attacked by something which inserted the word "satan" into my mind. Because I was half asleep, I was unable to fight this off and it ended up getting through. Needless to say, this ended up opening a demonic portal (which was closed by another Medium, so I know it was real) and my own vibrations also fell massively. I also saw a picture of Satan on a throne in my mind's eye. There were also some other entities which were somehow conjured and later removed by a Medium.</p> <p>Later before the Medium removed this, (again whilst seeping) one of the entities tried to possess my body and take over control of it. I fought it off as best as I could but it ended up with it coming inside my body and pushing part of my own spirit out, which I saw as an orb leaving my body. It was only a part of me though, I think from the left-hand side of my body.</p> <p>I'm unsure whether or not they will still be attached to me as I had paid a Shaman to get them removed. As a psychic myself, I recognise that more of these entities are attracted to my energy, but I really need some help, advice .etc in removing or warding them off and keeping them away permanently.</p> <p>I became possessed at one point by a demonic entity, although I now feel it has been removed by an Exorcism which was done. I was feeling sick, shaking and incredibly anxious whilst this was ongoing. It eased afterwards, but there are still remnants left like I said.... this possession was trying to force me to pray to Satan rather than God and all sorts of awful mind controlling things which were happening to me particularly health related where it was messing around with my thoughts and trying to make me damage my own body through my thoughts, effectively piggy-backing the paranormal abilities of the possession to do this.</p> <p>I believe it ended up in some form of Satanic possession as well, which the remnants are still affecting me because I simply do not know how to get rid of it. I know there are at least two cords connected to me, and there is still at least one powerful dark entity around me, but I simply do not know how to remove it. I do however know that a lot of the problem now is surrounding chakras and my own energy field.</p> <p> </p> <p>I recently did a meditation where I met my spirit guide and asked her to remove Satan. She removed a demonic entity which had attached itself to my soul on the right-hand side of my head, and had been messing around with my intuition. I checked back a few days ago and as far as I can tell she's keeping a close eye on it and has subdued it. The actual meditation gave my a migraine and I felt disorientated for the rest of the day while my energy was re-balancing, so it had a massive effect.</p> <p>I've recently taken a look at your article here about energy implants: <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/energy-implants-and-how-remove-them">https://www.openhandweb.org/energy-implants-and-how-remove-them</a></p> <p>That's more the background over with now....... I know I am some form of energy worker, although still very new to all this. Going onwards and back to the article now, I am absolutely convinced I have a number of entities and energy implants on my chakras yet I feel I'm lacking in experience or knowledge to try anything myself or even know what to do to try and find out.</p> <p>Would it be possible for you to take a look and let me know what is there and what could be done to remove it/the entities? I really need to know what still remains, I know my throat chakra is weak because I struggle to express myself sometimes, my heart chakra was filled with dark energy which I recently managed some luck to get it out from there, and my third eye chakra also had some in I think. As for the rest I have absolutely no idea</p> <p>Many blessings and thank you very much for your time.</p> </div></div> </div> <span rel="schema:author" data-quickedit-field-id="node/21239/uid/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-uid field-formatter-author field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/31221" lang="" about="/user/31221" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">chris98</a></span> <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2019-05-03T11:30:48+00:00" data-quickedit-field-id="node/21239/created/en/fulltext" class="field field-name-created field-formatter-timestamp field-type-created field-label-hidden">Fri, 05/03/2019 - 11:30</span> <div data-quickedit-field-id="node/21239/taxonomy_forums/en/fulltext" class="field field-node-taxonomy-forums field-entity-reference-type-taxonomy-term field-formatter-entity-reference-label field-name-taxonomy-forums field-type-entity-reference field-label-above"><div class="field__label">Community</div><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item field__item--your-biggest-spiritual-questions"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/community/frequently-asked-questions-0" hreflang="en">Your Biggest Spiritual Questions?</a></span> </div></div> </div> <div class="node__links"><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment-add"><span class="comment-add__link-wrapper"><a href="/assistance-entities#comment-form" title="Share your thoughts and opinions." class="comment-add__link" hreflang="en">Add new comment</a></span></li><li class="statistics-counter"><span class="statistics-counter__link-wrapper">167 views</span></li></ul></div><section data-quickedit-field-id="node/21239/comment_forum/en/fulltext" class="field field-node--comment-forum field-formatter-comment-default field-name-comment-forum field-type-comment field-label-above display-mode-threaded comment-bundle-comment-forum comment-wrapper"><div class="comment-form-wrapper"> <h2 class="comment-form__title h3">Add new comment</h2><drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&1=21239&2=comment_forum&3=comment_forum" token="ZLHv6FurUnCODeWcsRHVnuKUuxNkhdCDMPlCu9H2NJs"></drupal-render-placeholder></div><a name="comments"></a> <h2 class="comment-field__title h3">Comments</h2> <article data-quickedit-entity-id="comment/30181" data-comment-user-id="10786" id="comment-30181" class="comment js-comment comment--type-comment-forum comment--view-mode-default has-title clearfix"> <div class="comment__container"><h3 class="comment__title h4"> <a href="/comment/30181#comment-30181" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Dealing with Entities in your field by Becoming "The One"</a> <mark class="comment__new marker marker--success hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1556959193"></mark> </h3> <div class="comment__meta comment__meta--has-user-picture"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="user/10786/user_picture/en/compact" class="field field-user--user-picture field-formatter-image field-name-user-picture field-type-image field-label-hidden has-single"><figure class="field-type-image__figure image-count-1"><div class="field-type-image__item"> <a href="/user/10786"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/pictures/2020-02/Open.jpg?itok=GNBqksH7" width="125" height="106" alt="Profile picture for user Open" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> </a></div> </figure></div> <div class="comment__submitted"> <span class="comment__author"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/10786" lang="" about="/user/10786" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username">Open</a></span> <span class="comment__pubdate">Sat, 05/04/2019 - 08:39</span> </div> </div> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-quickedit-field-id="comment/30181/comment_body/en/default" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-comment--comment-body field-formatter-text-default field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-inline has-single"><h3 class="field__label">Comment</h3><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p>Hi Chris,</p> <p>Greetings, welcome to Openhand. I wish you well in your challenging circumstances <img alt="Praying Emoji" height="20" src="/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Praying_Emoji_ios10_020ec88e-ee33-496d-a95a-df23243cebf4.png" title="Praying Emoji" width="20" /></p> <p>I did take an intuitive look - actually the issue stood out strongly as a reoccurring pattern through everything you shared. It is basically this...</p> <blockquote> <p><em>You are clearly focussing on 'removing an entity' and gaining some form of external help to do so. You spoke of "I pray to", but were stopped in your tracks - this is highly synchronistic. It clearly feels like you're looking for some 'God' or 'Guardian' out there to help you by removing the entities that come in. A healer, psychic, intuitive can indeed remove the entities and the dense energy, but they cannot stop them returning, because that's an issue of your own self-realisation, which only you can make - although someone whose insightful might offer a reflection.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>The reflection is this.... "YOU are GOD!"</p> <p>But what does that mean exactly?</p> <p>It means you are The One. I expect you know this at an intellectual level, as many do. However there's intellectualising it and actually KNOWING it. The two are very different.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>At your core level, you are The One. What this means in a practical sense, at that deepest inner level, is that everything is moving within you. Everything came from you. All dark, all light, all entities, all angels and even the concept of "Satan" - which is only really a concept unless you, as the ego, make it real in yourself.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>You are here to self-realise as The One. And therefore to attain this, you must be able to become comfortable with everything moving inside of you - the light AND the dark.</p> <p>In this state, entities will come and go through your field. Crucially though, they can only stay if they can attach and take energy from you. This they do because of your own fear, which can be in the subconscious and conscious. If you become The One by not opposing them coming in, not reacting, not putting up some kind of shield or bubble around you, then they come in and go straight out. There's nothing to attach to...</p> <blockquote> <p><em>"Become as nothing in the face of your opponent, and there is nothing to oppose."</em></p> </blockquote> <p>In this way, entites serve an invaluable role in your evolution. Because they highlight your unconsciousness - they bring light into your inner darkness... "the pain is the place where the light enters".</p> <p>Let go of your need to reject that aspect of yourself.<br /> Let go of the need to reject any entity.<br /> If they come in, let them 'hit' the place where you now need to self-realise - become realising of The One.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>For example: what is "Satan"? It is simply a 4 character word, which clearly you - your ego - has attached meaning to. Thus you've become an identity in relation to a mental concept. Thus you can currently be victimised simply by the mere expression of it.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>I also suspect there's an emotional reaction to this - explore any sense of knotting feeling in the sacrum.</p> <p>So the Openhand Approach is to first become "as-nothing" in it - meaning: to allow the energies to move within you. Notice where they hit. Is it an intellectual idea (Satan for example)? You are neither the idea nor the mind itself. So soften through the mind by completely accepting the idea, normalising in it and equalising with it. Then you open a doorway through it into the infinite presence of The One. Now the idea or anything attached to it cannot hold you or stay in your field.</p> <p>Once you're able to be The One by being so accepting that you don't need the situation to change, then your soul is liberated as a free expression of the Universe.</p> <p>Perhaps then you'll discover that you don't need to 'get rid of entities' from your field, but instead the opposite: <em>to channel them through you and back to the light.</em></p> <p>You may require some facilitation to work with this concept and approach - it is highly effective but also highly advanced. Do let me know if you'd like me to connect you with one of the facilitators.</p> <p>Wishing you well</p> <p>Open <img alt="Praying Emoji" height="20" src="/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Praying_Emoji_ios10_020ec88e-ee33-496d-a95a-df23243cebf4.png" title="Praying Emoji" width="20" /></p> <p> </p> </div></div> </div> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=30181&1=default&2=en&3=" token="sqtWNbIukBwVPRLxwh9i7JUW4tOICTnqBiKOq_sqv6c"></drupal-render-placeholder></div> </div> </article> </section> Fri, 03 May 2019 11:30:48 +0000 chris98 21239 at https://www.openhandweb.org
