Positive Energy Guide

We have been exploring the role of impressions in Spiritual Guidance. Understand that the impact of impressions operates constantly in daily life. The impact is just more obvious when we intentionally work with specific impressions. As a clear example I will share some personal experience that demonstrates cultivating positive impressions, and the resulting impact on […]

The term “impressions” is used in several spiritual and self-development groups to refer to the energy we pick up from exposure to a person, place or object. Contemplating this use of “impressions” builds understanding of energy processes central to Spiritual Guidance. This definition is from an online dictionary: 1. An effect, feeling, or image retained […]

Being able to attune ourselves to another person is the skill that allows us access to their heart. Knowing the other person’s heart is the key to providing profound Guidance.  Following from Part 2, I am still quoting my Teacher: “We do not develop the capacity to reflect the love of accomplished Beings without practicing […]

This post goes into the nuts and bolts of how to attune to spiritual beings for Guidance. Occasionally I refer to my Teacher. His identity is not a secret, yet I rarely share it. I am not trying to involve you in what I do. I share experiences as food for thought, exposure to positive […]

During a workshop on Conflict Resolution I was looking at an overhead slide listing internal states and conditions prerequisite to effective conflict resolution. On this list was “A non-judging mind.” I sat there wondering how one was to begin if he or she did not possess such a mind. I can’t claim to. It’s easy […]

Some of us use ideals as goads. We may even try to beat ourselves toward perfection. Some keep ideals passive like wishes. We may hope to be different some day and dream about what might be, without extending sincere effort. Maintaining ideals can be like the proverbial two-edge sword. Ideals are about moving toward your […]

Following from the previous post, here are several examples of direct experience, without much burden of belief: On a beach, I noticed that I could easily ascertain whether or not muscles on the rocks were alive. When I gently grasp and wiggle it slowly, an alive muscle responds by tightening its shell and binding, like […]

Are you an “I’ll see it when I believe it,” or an “I’ll believe it when I see it type of person?” Or do you allow life to surprise you and gradually rework your beliefs to accommodate what experiences that don’t fit your previous models? Advantages of Direct Experience: Promotes observation and exploration Directly engages […]
