Higher Self Guides

Conversations with Other Lives

Do you ever wish you could give your younger yourself some advice? Maybe you went through a rough period in your life and looking back now you wish you could pick up the phone and call your younger self with some words of wisdom gained from hindsight that could have made your life easier. That's the process I attempted this morning by trying to access a former lifetime.

I sat at my keyboard and invited a conversation with whichever of my other selves wanted to come through. Contact came almost immediately and we conversed for approximately 20 minutes. The results were somewhat mixed, but certainly worth sharing.

Below is a transcript of the conversation. The style is similar to that which my friend Frank DeMarco uses (see The Challenge of Our Times), but you may notice some other similarities as well. For instance, the first name I get is Bertram, which is the name of one of Frank's contacts. Similarly the contact is from 13th century Britain, while Frank's Bertram is from medieval England as well. I think that is suspect and it is discussed below. Nonetheless, some fresh messages come through and for me they resonate with a certain sense of truth and accuracy. So here's the conversation.

The Challenge of Our Times

Today's post is a reprint of an email message I received from my friend and colleague Frank DeMarco. For years Frank has enjoyed clear and cogent conversations with his spiritual guides, whom he refers to as The Guides Upstairs, or TGU for short. Frank often shares notes from these conversations by email. This one I found striking enough that I asked his permission to reprint it here. As you may have gathered from the post title the subject is the fundamental nature of the challenge of our times as seen from a spiritual perspective. Note: Frank's words are in italics. Those of TGU are in plain text.

All right. It is 8 a.m., nearly, the start of a cloud-heavy morning. If you're ready to answer [my brother] Paul's question – what is the real challenge of our time, what is the equivalent of the Civil War to us – I'm ready to hear it.

You have heard it many times, each time in a slightly different context. You have expressed it many times, enough that it is just another of your beliefs.

Parallel Evolution

I’ve been thinking about human evolution lately. Not where we come from, but where we headed. To better understand this I ventured to Focus 35, a realm where it’s possible to connect with nonphysical beings that have gathered to observe and aid humanity as we enter an important phase of our development.

When I arrived I asked for guidance by someone who could show me an example of another world in which evolution paralleled what is going on here on Earth. There I met Xan.

Another Brave Soul – Dori Alsop Paden

It takes courage to explore the unknown, as it does to publicly tell others about personal experiences that are contrary to prevailing conventional ideas. Another Brave Soul is a periodic column that highlights the efforts of individuals who are exploring spirituality and the boundaries of human potential—and helping others to do the same. If you or someone you know are having such experiences, let us know and we’ll consider profiling them in this column. Click here to submit your suggestion.

Everyone has a spirit guide, according to the New Age axiom. Dori Alsop Paden of Richfield, MN has more than a dozen. And she’s on a first name basis with all of them.

While most people settle for one-way prayers for assistance or whispered flashes of insight during moments of quiet repose, Dori engages with her spirit guides on a daily basis. Fortunately for those people whose lines of spiritual communication are less developed, Dori shares the advice, guidance, and messages she channels with the general public on her blog.
 

Suffering

Suffering is enduring your falsely perceived separation from the Divine.

God: What's In a Name

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. So starts the Book of John in the Bible. The Word has long been central to our concept of God. But perhaps the words we use to describe God say as much or more about us than they do about the Divine.

Connecting to Source Energy

Today I decided to simply open up and channel what was important for me to hear. I found it useful. You may too. The message for today is this.

Trust the process that is unfolding in your life. It is the process of you deepening your connection with Source. Source energy is constantly expressing itself through you as it is through all things. And once you recognize this you can focus on the two essential tasks that everyone must work on during their lifetimes in this physical reality.

I’m walking across the imaginal bridge…it curves gently upwards, hiding the other side from view. All I see is the grey pavement and the low guard rails on either side…There are no vehicles on the bridge and I hear no sound apart from my own footsteps…I keep walking until I reach the end of the bridge, and I’m standing in the light. Looking back I see the bridge disappear into darkness…I think of a book and a book appears in my hands…it is heavy, leather bound, with thick yellowing pages. I can smell the age of the book when I open it… It’s Braille. I run my fingers over the raised bumps. And though I do not know Braille I hear these words as my fingers run over the page…“Welcome traveler, we are pleased to see you.”

So begins one of first entries in the blog of W. Paul Blakey, who writes under the nom de plume of World-Bridger. I could tell you that he’s a highly intelligent, well read, and articulate retired osteopath living in western Canada, but as you may have garnered from the paragraph above, he’s also an accomplished traveler in nonphysical reality and a disciplined reporter of his experiences.

DNA Adjustments from a Higher Perspective, Part 2

Yesterday's post documents the first half of a visit I made to the Healing and Regeneration Center in Focus 27 nonphysical reality to explore DNA adjustments from a spiritual perspective. The post below picks up in mid-story. If you have not read the previous post in this series I encourage you to start there first.

Emotional Adjustments

The healer stepped in the energy bath with me and began moving his hands over and under me as if he were tracing my outline in the swirling colors. “By increasing the carrying capacity of your DNA we’re going to increase your ability to experience Source energy. This will also enhance your basic five senses in physical and nonphysical reality, and it will probably increase your intuition and other psychic abilities as well.”

“Looks like we should start with your emotional body,” he continued. “I’m seeing some scaring around your heart chakra from a recent event.”

I knew he was referring to a recent disagreement with a friend. He moved his hands over my heart center and began directing energy to it. As he did this I felt something shift, like the turning of a valve. Suddenly love poured forth from my heart center like a geyser. It flowed rich and clear and just as powerful as the high voltage energy bath around it.

DNA Adjustments from a Higher Perspective, Part 1

Yesterday's post describes how a conversation with a colleague prompted me to reconsider my thoughts on DNA adjustment from a spiritual perspective. Today’s and tomorrow’s posts recount an out-of-body trip I made to investigate DNA adjustments in Focus 27 nonphysical reality.

I sent my awareness to Focus 27 and materialized in the living room of my home. When I arrived the sliding door to the patio was open. Through it wafted a cool summer breeze laden with the scent of the surf. In the darkness outside I heard small waves crashing on the rocks at the foot of the cliffs beyond the yard. I stepped out on the patio and into the light of a full moon lingering above the western horizon. Stars shown high above me but to the east the midnight blue sky faded to a faint yellow glow that backlit the tree tops on the horizon. Save for a cricket in the garden beyond the patio, all was still in the quiet before the dawn.

I lingered in the moonlight enjoying the peaceful solitude for a few minutes and then decided to continue on with my plans. I set my intention on visiting the place where DNA adjustments are done in Focus 27.

Visiting the Healing and Regeneration Center

No sooner did I set my intention than I found myself standing in the waiting room of a modern looking medical office. Burgundy-colored, fabric-covered chairs lined two of the walls to form an L-shaped waiting area. Print posters of water color paintings hung on the walls. A young female receptionist sat behind a counter, while beyond her a doorway led to a set of interior examining rooms. I smiled because I knew what I was seeing had been drawn from my mind to make me feel more comfortable on my visit.
