But I'll be saying it anyway.
Hanging out in the Cafe for informal banter with you guys.
So, I've been listening to Bashar and Elan for a couple years and appreciate the perspective of that wisdom so very much. I find it to be practical, simple and relevant...yet also deep and rich with nuance. I appreciate other teachings as well and value the illumination in this path of self discovery.
The idea of transforming limiting beliefs is somewhat new for me and something I wish I had learned of much earlier in this life, but I trust the timing and it's all good. I've been using a form of this process for a while though spirit-world journeys and reclaiming lost Will (as spelled out in the Right Use If Will books). Also let me tell you a quick story...
I have an adult son with an 'intellectual disability' though I do not term him as such for he a great teacher to me. Anyway, some years ago he was acting out with certain negative behaviors when I offered him the idea of how our minds are like radio/TV receivers capable of tuning into different stations or channels and that we can easily tune into a station that we like. He told me he 'likes the good channel' and since that time has taken this method to heart, always telling me that he's 'keeping on a good channel." One particular time when he was being yelled at for something or another, I watched as he furiously grabbed at an imaginary channel knob on his head and twisted it while finding an appropriate channel to settle on. It was funny. Love that kid.
So, yeah, keeping it positive best I can as well.
On another note, these days have been interesting for me. The relevance of many things is shifting as I find my relationship to this event I call my life moving. I am noticing something massive these days on the horizon. Not sure if it's personal or a world impacting scenario, but it's there... I think others are picking up on this too. How exciting!
So, not much to say, but I wanted to say something.
I like reading all the posts and am happy this forum is here.
Once again I feel something welling up inside so I'll post it here and unofficially rename this thread 'David spill his guts for your entertainment and edification' or maybe 'How to survive a warp core breach for dummies'. Sharing.
I realize I can dramatize just about anything I choose to. I have the ultimate power to turn a molehill into a mountain and make navigating daily life into a harrowing adventure into the maelstrom. Steady at the helm my friend and just breathe. Okay, can do.
So a couple days ago my partner Louise falls and what we first thought was a bad sprain of her wrist, after x-rays turned out to be a complete break in the arm bones above her wrist. It was a perfect break though the humor of that fact did little to console her. Okay, center now in the moment...deal with it and anything that may arise..... we got this. There's a reason for everything so as events unfold the interconnections of this event will be played out in ways I can hardly imagine, but I digress...
Being in the ER in the hospital with her triggered a cascade of my own thoughts and impressions as I remembered my own harrowing adventure about 8 years past of being rushed to the hospital with septic shock, a life threatening situation in which the body shuts down and blood pressure drops to almost nothing.
Over a month long period of being on life support and in a coma for most of that time, I was told that I had flatlined 5 different times. Ah, that would explain the out of body NDE's and weird experiences I had during that time. I could write a book about what happened and my adventures in the spirit world / alternate realities but let's just say I came 'back' (or did I?) a changed man. Sort of like the movie Dead Zone, when I came to I had the weird ability to see in a glance what was in the Hearts of everyone I met. It is at once scary and joyous.
I was also shown the importance of Love, how this seemingly abstract notion is actually at the Heart of all things, all events, everything. The whole thing was a crash course in that which is truly important. What a ride.
So, I move forward and even that has served me in ways I could not have foreseen.
The slippery nature of what seems to be this solid world and the even more etherial nature of my own identity is a gift I continue to unwrap each and every day, so take Heart and do not fear my friends. Life is more interesting and fantastic than we know. Onward.
