Malag1 year agoMalagI think it’s more a no-self than a higher self that I experience; a spaciousness that all the thoughts come and go and where the attachment that these thoughts or emotions are my thoughts and emotions is less frequent. That sometimes happens and often doesn’t. ? But when it does problems can be easier because part of the problem is the thinking reaction to a situation or getting caught up in the emotions as opposed to letting them be and pass through. 6 Reply reality1 year agorealityYes, Mu, couldn’t possibly have thoughts or emotions because there’s no having and not no having at once; okay? I lost my ‘no-self’ once, but, had Tinkerbell sew it back on. May the unforce be without you, or not. As well, may this New Year never find you not new; all the way through. Thanx for all you do and don’t ? reality 2 Reply Adrienne1 year agoAdrienneEach word resonates within me~thank you for some clarity~ 4 Reply reality1 year agorealityYour reply brings to mind a twig of poetree, senryu 🙂 clarity Sword that cuts all ways, Without, for there’s no cutting, And a pointless point. Thanx for the tonality; have a great day 🙂 reality 1 Reply Ose1 year agoOseWith alertness, kindness, and love. With being open and grateful to whatever shows up, to respond to if required. 7 Reply reality1 year agorealityI don’t know, will try though; being quieter is necessary 🙂 reality 10 Reply Warrior Woman1 year agoWarrior WomanFocus on the bigger picture! This too will pass; change is the only constant and you’ve got what it takes to get through this! 6 Reply Debra1 year agoDebraMy ‘higher self’ is internally speaking to me to ‘let go’ of my intentions. They are being guided and met without the need for the intervention of my ‘ego self’. ‘Thy will be done’ is being done without my insistence to try and control it. I will through Spirit meet my year-end mission and I am internally grateful to be so blessed. 6 Reply Ann1 year agoAnnWhen I perceive something to be more than simply ‘spilled milk’ to be wiped up, I pause, resting in a sense of grateful presence, then acknowledge, compassionately accept, and let go of the ‘story’ that defined the event as a ‘challenge’. Then, I find that I am able to respond to the situation in whatever way is truly needed, if at all. 9 Reply Adrienne1 year agoAdrienneAnn, I turn over and over a scenario ~with what you’ve said I hope to gain the internal presence of gratitude to resolve issues~ thank you 0 Reply Ed1 year agoEdIt is time to retire a professional identity that has given me much ego satisfaction over 20 years. This means organizing teaching materials and passing them on to the next generations, giving up control of things I have created. It’s easy to keep feeding this “self,” not so easy to let go. My remaining years are for something else, and I must go with my ego vulnerable and unknowing to find my new way. 11 Reply Malag1 year agoMalagThanks for validating something I am experiencing, Ed. I too will “go with my ego vulnerable and unknowing”. Such a good phrase. 1 Reply Pilgrim1 year agoPilgrimA big step (or steps) and possibilities of a new adventure. Blessings as you move forward, Ed. 2 Reply Deb1 year agoDebBecause it is winter, a fallow time of the year in northern Minnesota, my mind, body and spirit is following nature and gone into hibernation of sorts. I am taking this time to allow that without trying to force answers or make big decisions. I trust my higher self is guiding this. 10 Reply Katrina1 year agoKatrinaDo no harm; Do good; and Stay in Love with God. (John Wesley) 6 Reply Antoinette1 year agoAntoinetteThe current challenge is leaving my family and friends in the USA to go back to Norway. Goodbyes are never easy so rather than feeling depressed I can be grateful that I was able to be here for five weeks. I choose to look for what life is offering me. We are all deeply connected to life and each other. I trust this deep connection. 7 Reply Cathy1 year agoCathyIsn’t the ability and freedom to make choices just an incredible ponderance, Antoinette? I am baffled at how I spent the first sixty of my years, not knowing I could choose gratitude over depression. Without struggle or having to control something. Safe travels home! 5 Reply Samuel1 year agoSamuelMy desires and abilities have, as long as I can remember, had more to do with being of service to others than anything else. I have found that by focusing on others, my challenges seem to fade in significance compared to theirs and solutions to mine seem to surface more or less spontaneously in the process. By helping others I also satisfy my “higher self.” sb 9 Reply GCharlotte1 year agoGCharlotteA woman who I have learned about throughout the earlier portions of my life has not been feeling well for some time. She has to prepare to come to her new home to assume responsibilities. I am giving assistance to make this happen through community guidance. 7 Reply Cathy1 year agoCathyI have been learning to simply sit and be. As I gently sink into that state of just being, with no thoughts or desires to control, change, or alter anything at all, ideas and thoughts will seem to pour through me like I am a sieve. What seems to be left is knowledge of the path I ultimately choose to take in response to the challenge at hand. 9 Reply Antoinette1 year agoAntoinetteLovely Cathy. This helps me too. Thank you . 4 Reply Michele1 year agoMicheleSometimes the answer is no response. 6 Reply devy1 year agodevyI resort to grounding myself through mindfulness meditations and breathing and once I calmed down use gratitude. gratitude even before challenges allows me to be grateful for what I have, for what I experience… I am aiming to accept the negative events that are happening in my life and realizing that they are what created me and that I accept who I am.. 7 Reply Antoinette1 year agoAntoinetteBeautiful devy . Mindfulness and grounding to whatever happens with loving kindness. 2 Reply Kevin1 year agoKevinIt depends on the situation, actually. Sometimes my “higher self” is at work subconsciously without my awareness. Other times all that’s needed is just tackling the challenge at hand and getting it done by whatever means possible, period. Then, there are those times when I need to summon the angels, call out for prayers, and pray my way through a daunting situation. 8 Reply Deb1 year agoDebYeah, that is how it is for me, too, Kevin. 2 Reply Kevin1 year agoKevinHey there Deb! Good to hear from you. Hope all is well in your orbit.
