Hello Menguard-
Like some other people, I want to know why I am here. I am very interested in the paranormal, and ET communication but never seem to witness any events or have anything really spiritual happen to me. Am I not ready yet? I feel like I can't just go through life being what people call "normal." I feel like this type of stuff is a part of me, and I feel despair when things aren't realized for me. I feel like my guides ignore me. Why do I love the spritual/paranomal/occult (whatever you want to call it) stuff so much, yet are unable to contact these higher powers or gain any spiritual awareness?
Thanks for your answers,
Answer:You are ready, when you say you are ready.You are an "explorer of possibilities," which will pay off in time.You have a heart worthy of merit, it leads you to treasures, one must realise when we see 'Exactness'.It's the" exactness" that shows (life) is no accident.When one pays attention the signs around them, one knows life is a flattery of possibilities.Exactness is spirituality hands down, it holds the peda stool in place while you climb up it.It is following the spiritual highway of life.It holds many oppurtunities for those worthy of wait.

But as PT Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute".
The other thing that bothers me is that people line up like sheep, I won't say sheeple, as that is an overused phrase, to listen to someone who has simply declared him/her self as an authority on anything. Do you not have capabilities within yourself? Are you so hungry for answers, yet so weak in the work ethic department that you would rather submit questions to someone and let them, supposedly, do the work for you? That tends to border on the old saying, "You get what you pay for"...
Then again, what should one expect from a culture that puts more thought and effort into the important questions like "What brand of pure spring water should I be drinking" than into serious thought on eternity, live paths, and things metaphysical that could matter.
Fate Magazine used to have scads and tons of advertisements in the back by people like this one who would answer three questions from their higher selves, or the akashic records, or whatever ... for a five dollar love offering. And all the time, you would find non-specific information given for a five dollar bill, and no lesson learned.
Mr. HigherSelf would have had to answer one other question than the eye color question with some percentage of accuracy, which, given his now, apparently, outlandish claims, he should have been able to do in an instant, and I might have, sincerely, been convinced that we had someone here who had a fair handle on the real ... And someone who could be a force to be reckoned with in the answer department.
I guess, it is really none of my business if you wish to base your life path and spiritual ways on untested spirits ... apparent shallow ramblings, and self serving people. A fool and his soul, like his money, are soon parted.
And so, I leave you to your own devices.

Hi Men,
Great thread.
I hope you'll have some insight and guidance for me. Today is a sad day for me. This day has been sad for a few years now, as I grow more and more depressed each year this day comes around. You see, today is my birthday.
This date has always been my 'self-reckoning' of the past year. I've been successful in many areas of my life. I've accomplished most of my dreams very early in life and feel I've come a complete circle. My world came to a halt 4 years and 4 months ago (my fault, the path I created).
I now find myself at a stand still, a life pause, with a feeling of being 'on hold'. Each year this date rears itself, I find I'm in the same spot as the previous 4 years. I've learned so much about myself, my roles, and my world in these past few years. However, time is cruel and I must move on. I must greet January 28, 2007 with my head held high.
Any advice on focusing my scattered mind? A talent to sharpen (or learn)? What is my role? What do I have to contribute?
menguard, I realize this isn't an important question, but just for fun: which university did I graduate from?

Also, I was wondering about parallel universes: do they exist? and if so how many are there? Thanks!

What is the right religion? Is there a right religion? And, do robots dream of electric sheep?

But then will robots one day be able to make the crossover? Will robots be able to evolve so to speak to create conciousness, and if they did, would they have a spirit?
Menguard:
p.S You can check my track records if you like, everything in this world is a self realisation.Some truths are for some and some are for others.Take what you will from the information, if anything in the hopes of another day."Death is the ultimate advisor make no mistake about".When one is ready to tap into the dark sea of awareness, one can only wonder what possibilities awaits him.
Ever entertain the idea that some people see no harm in inquiring and would rather ask questions rather than show thier wicked side who easily cast judgement on others he dosn't know? Jesus said, "Ye without sin, cast the first stone."
Good luck in the future... AAC

Sorry Mengaurd. You’re probably right with whatever it was that you just said.
Regarding track record, however… What track record? What is your name? Where are you currently living and what school of esoterica do you run or administor?
Your current track record doesn’t go way out of its way to prove much. Would your past be any better? A few “arcane” mutterings does not make an enlightened master in touch with his higher self.
I’m also kind of curious about which book of Kung fu wisdom you got the “Death is the ultimate advisor … “ quote from. And how do you go about proving the depth and veracity of such an arcane statement? That seems to be diametrically opposed to what most everyone else who is speaking from the higher realms has to say about death. Do you know more than everyone else who is doing the same thing? Or do you know something better? I wonder …
Is it necessary for someone who is in touch with his/her higher self and spreading all around to talk like a Chinese Master from the old Kung fu television show?
At least some of the better known, yet still unproven prophets, speak in complete and more easily understood sentences. Unless there is other motive?
The paradigm of common people who are supposedly in touch with higher selves, the akashic records, and so on and so on, seems to be one whereby they have this deep seated need to speak in deep mystical and unclear sentences and thought processes … Perhaps there needs to be a finishing school for higher selves? It must be a chan/zen thing. At least, you could be original enough to put the material into easily understood phrases. We, after all, are not living in the times of the Oracles of Delphi, and you are doing most of the questioner’s homework for them.
Ever entertain the idea that some people see no harm in inquiring and would rather ask questions rather than show thier wicked side who easily cast judgement on others he dosn't know? Jesus said, "Ye without sin, cast the first stone."

AAC, I understand that when one holds one’s hand up and points a finger at someone that the pointer has, in fact, three fingers pointing back at him/her self. Just a thought, along with, please do not proceed to think that you understand the motives of someone that “you” do not know.
I await your responses Menguard.
