    Evening all,

    Like many here I would be a huge believer in the power of positive thought & how things can be turned around etc etc

    Anyway, without too much detail, I currently have a very debilitating situation that I need help to deal with.

    This may be a little unorthodox but I'd like to ask for help from this community

    Thanks

    Ladybird

    Hey Ladybird,

    Sorry to hear you're having a difficult time. I'll be thinking of you when I do my reiki thing tonight and I send you my positive thoughts and best wishes.

    And here's a {{BIG HUG}} for good measure:)

    Hi littlebug, if ur doing reiki some night, I would be grateful if u would include me in sending healing.

    I used to practice Reiki, but now I'm struggling 2 just keep going and have lost motivation, so any support would be very welcome.

    This is my first time posting, and I would like to say hello 2 the forum users, I've enjoyed the interesting discussions.

    My difficulty has always been staying grounded. I love 2 sit quietly, find some peace, (sometimes I just fall asleep though), and have huge resistance to coming back into the bumps and grinds of everyday life.

    It is a feeling like wanting to leave the earth for good, but being trapped and not having any choice but to carry on.

    I have tried grounding exercises, (like visualising light from my root chakra going down into the earth), and sometimes it is helpful. Or being outside in the park does give a boost to the senses.

    I think the issue runs a little deeper, and I haven't quite got a handle on finding some joy or excitement in life. (It sounds like depression, and maybe it is)

    Does anyone else experience similar feelings? Any recommendations?

    Needless to say, after a long time being this way, I am now struggling in every area, and lost all momentum. Where to find inspiration when ur basic interest in life is dissipated?

    It is good to share these feelings, thank you.

    I think 'transcendental' type meditation can have that effect on people. One thing I find about druidry (and also my experience of Wicca) is that it is grounded very much in this world. Gnosticism and some eastern spiritualism seems almost like a rejection of this realm for a 'higher' plane.

    Eating or drinking is often a good way to ground yourself, I also clap my hands together or stomp my feet as a way of pulling myself back completely.

    Personally I think the answers are very much about finding a way to live in the world as part of it, rather than 'escaping into another realm, I think we are so disconnected in general that it can be difficult to do that. I found Taoism very similar to druidry in it's connection to the physical plane and in some ways more immediate or easier to grasp.

    Thank you Joseph, a lot of my interest has been in the eastern traditions, and now I feel it does need some balance. It is important to develop a concious willingness to participate in, rather than trying to escape from, the world. Especially if, like me, my natural tendency is to want to flee!


    The applied knowledge or insight gleaned from meditation can be of practical help in overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Gently embracing inner space sometimes gives me more room to negotiate in the outside world, but I need to be careful not to reject the outside world in favour of inner peace, because when I'm not grounded, the outside world sometimes can give you a nasty bite!! :-)

    The eastern traditions recognise that there is no separation between the inner and the outer, but in the meantime, it is a work-in-progress for me to fully embrace this, so thank you for your suggestions, it is really appreciated.

    Will be praying for you and willing you all the best.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 lovewellbeing


    Thank you Cathy, it is great to feel supported. When I pick myself up, I hope to do the same for someone who needs it. I will at least for now ask a team of angels to send support to you, Joseph, ladybird and Karynp, and all the moderators and contributors who keep the board alive and kicking, to help in achieving your heart's desires.

    I have at least realized that the root motivation of human behaviour is a desire to be loved and to feel that you belong. Behind my own desire to leave the planet is an underlying belief that I won't find any love while I'm here.

    The first lesson for me to learn in matters of the heart is self-acceptance, leading to self-love. This is what I need to learn , no matter how hopeless things look at present. With a little self-love put into practice, it will be possible then to love others and view others with compassion, tolerance, and love, with authenticity and with less projections of my own need for love from them.

    In the Advaita tradition, ( advaita means non-dual), love is our natural state, a loving state of simply being, and of awareness. A natural uncompounded, state of peace, love, and compassion. This may seem a little lofty, but the point is that this is our natural, pre-existing state, prior to our identification of the ego's projection of who we think we are.. i.e. I am an accountant, husband, good/bad person, I need to be loved etc.

    If we are fortunate enough to remember our natural state, and recognise it's abiding presence in our hearts, trust in it a little, you may notice more joy bubbling up in moments of your life. This happens spontaneously, without effort, and in the beginning, just noticing it is enough, no effort is required because it is a simple expression of who you already are: peace, wisdom and happiness.

    There is no formula for how this will unfold in your exterior life, but the important thing is, just noticing the simple, natural awareness of your being expressing itself through your mind/body. The simplicity of just noticing is often enough for the happiness inside to make itself known, like saying welcome to a stranger, who you realise is an old friend all along.

    If anyone has any interest in this perspective, googling the word 'advaita' throughs up a lot of information on this perspective of the nature of our true selves.

    Auron,
    That's beautiful - your own work I presume?

    No, that's a picture from an artist called Neil Hague. He drew that and other pictures for David Icke's book "Infinite Love Is The Only Truth - Everything Else Is Illusion". The picture means a lot to me and Auron and we're spreading it around the web! :D:D



    Love & Peace!

    Damn right So Glad! :D

    That picture shows us what our true nature really is. We are aspects of infinity, experiencing "life" in a three dimensional hologram, known as "the body".

    The vast majority of the population everywhere in the world do not know this, because it is being suppressed by the forces of evil, that are presently running the world.

    All this is going to change very soon, as more and more people wake up! There is a spiritual revolution going on across the globe. All our perceptions on what is "real" is going to change drastically, for the better.

    The world is going through some really bad things at the moment, but rest assured; We are heading into a paradise again, just like we used to have 1000's and 1000's of years ago.

    Find out about the real David Icke, not the one you hear about in the mainstream media.

    Here he is in his own words:
    (From this website - www.newsforthesoul.com )

    I am a former journalist, television presenter from England who has spent the last 15 years uncovering the biggest secret - who really controls the world and has done so for thousands of years.

    I have written fourteen books including: "Tales from the Timeloop", "Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster - why the official story of 9/11 is a monumental lie", "The Biggest Secret", "...and the truth shall set you free", and "I Am Me, I Am Free". Bridge of Love Publications, my publisher, has also produced several videos including "The Freedom Road", "Turning of the Tide", "Revelations of a Mother Goddess", and "The Reptilian Agenda."

    I reveal how a global secret society called the Illuminati (the "Illuminated Ones" as they call themselves) have been holding the reigns of power in the world since ancient times, expanding their power out of the Middle and Near East (and other centres) to control first Europe and then, thanks to the British Empire and other European empires, to take over in the Americas, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and elsewhere.

    When those empires appeared to withdraw from these regions, the Illuminati left behind the secret society networks and the Illuminati bloodlines and these have continued to control and orchestrate events ever since. There are two type of prisons or dictatorships. There is the overt variety, which are clear dictatorships (communism, fascism, etc) and then there are the most effective variety of all - the covert dictatorship, the one that masquerades as freedom.

    People do not rebel against not being free when they think they are!

    The Illuminati have been working to a long planned and coordinated agenda to create a world government, central bank, army, and a micro-chipped population linked to a global computer. Anyone with an operational brain can see that all these things are now emerging ever more rapidly.

    Under this edifice of global power are designed to be super states like the European Union (evolved out of the EEC free trade area), the American Union (to be evolved out of the NAFTA free trade area), and the Pacific Union (to be evolved out of the APEC free trade area). NATO (merging with the UN peacekeeping operation) is planned to be the world army, the world police force, to keep countries in line who do not wish to concede their sovereignty to the Illuminati world government, which is planned to evolve through the United Nations.

    The structure of global control is pyramids inside pyramids. Very much like Russian dolls, one doll inside another. If you look at any organisation today you will see that it is structured as a pyramid. Those lower down the pyramid have no idea what the organisation they work for is really about. They just do their own job and go home every day. They don't know how what they do connects with other people's contribution to create a very obvious and sinister pattern and direction. Only the very few at the top know that. In this way the few can manipulate thousands in an organisation to advance an agenda that those thousands do not even know exists. There is a global version of this which manipulates billions in the same way.

    These "individual" organisations, be they banks, trans-national corporations, media empires, NATO, etc., then fit into even bigger pyramids. So you find, for example, that at the peak of the global banking pyramid all the banks are ultimately controlled by the same people - the Illuminati. Same with the transnational corporations, the media, and so on. There is a global pyramid which encompasses the pyramids of banking, business, media, military, politics, and the other institutions that run the planet. At the peak of this pyramid you find the elite of the Illuminati who orchestrate their agenda for global control through all their, apparently unconnected, organisations.

    This is why there has been an incessant move to centralisation of global power in all areas of our lives, banking, business, media, politics, whatever. It is orchestrated by the SAME people in accordance with the SAME agenda. You will find a stream of articles on this site that will give you detailed background to this agenda and there is endless information in my books which you can order from this website.

    The Illuminati manipulate humanity through the mind and emotions. There are too many people and too few Illuminati to control people physically, except on a small scale. They have to manipulate the way the masses think and feel, so we live our lives and see the world in the way the Illuminati want us to. For instance, the most powerful of the manipulation techniques is one I call Problem-Reaction-Solution. It works like this:

    You want to introduce something you know the people won't like.This may be more power to the police, a further erosion of basic freedoms, even a war. You know that if you offer these policies openly the people will react against them. So you first create a PROBLEM, a rising crime rate, more violence, a terrorist bomb, a government collapse, or you get one of your Illuminati puppets like Saddam Hussein to go to war.

    You make sure someone else is blamed for this problem and not you, the real people behind it all. So you create a "patsy", as they call them in America, a Timothy McVeigh or a Lee Harvey Oswald. You then use your media to tell people what they should think about your manufactured event and who they should blame for it. This brings us to stage two, the REACTION from the people - "This can't go on what are THEY going to do about it?"

    This allows THEY to then openly offer the SOLUTION to the problems they have created - new legislaation which advances their agenda of centralisation of global power or the erosion of more basic freedoms. This technique is being used all the time on the human mind and emotions, not least with the stream of mind-contolled youngsters and adults who go crazy with guns around the world and immediately prompt gun control laws.

    I say this as someone who does not have guns and believes passionately in non-violence. But if we are going to be street-wise we need to look beyond our own beliefs and realise that the Illuminati is seeking to systematically disarm those who WOULD use weapons against them. Just before Adolf Hitler began to fill the concentration camps he introduced the same anti-gun legislation which we are seeing today all over the world.

    We are now at a crucial time in this agenda's history. So many cards are waiting to be played by the Illuminati in the next 12 months. We are at a crossroads in human history. We can choose freedom or fall under the control of a global fascist state, a global version of Nazi Germany.

    This does not have to happen, but to stop it a lot of arses need to be removed from a lot of chairs. This website and the books will give you the detailed background from which informed choices can be made.

    What you have read here is a mere fraction of what there is to know and the picture is far bigger and more extraordinary than this brief outline has been able to detail. Look elsewhere on this site www.icke-media.com, www.davidicke.com or in my books and you will see what I mean!

    Love,

    David Icke
    I know a lot of people will disagree with this, but that doesn't matter. What David is saying is true, and everyone will realize this in a few years.

    Infinite love to you all.

    Auron :)
