Hi antar,
Thank you for your amazingly thoughtful, informed and supportive response. You truly are wise, and a good friend.
My 'hit' is that you experienced a NDE, that the beings you saw are your higher overlords in other words.
I've always understood this particular experience as spiritual, and cherished it as such. It's only recently that I've considered re-considering,
and investigating whether or not it was
alien contact rather than spiritual.
I've had several NDE's - tunnels, white light,
being in a place of consciousness with no senses. This experience was very different - from
the 'path' to getting there, to the realities of the 'there.'
Also, I've had lots of conversations with "the ancients" or "higher overlords" as you call them. (I'm pretty sure we mean the same thing.) At
different times in my life, I've called on them a lot. …One thing I do, when they are trying to tell me things I can't understand, is ask them to
tell me a story that
shows me what they are talking about. They're quite happy to and it helps me 'get' the message - they 'transport' me,
use pictures and '3-D video' to put me in the middle of the "story." Effective.
…I
do know they're not all "good guys" - some are confused and angry tricksters (but easy to spot). My experience is that the 'bad guys'
appear when I delve most deeply into
meaning and broaden the range. Telling them they're not welcome gets them gone.
NOTE: Some of these lost and confused 'bad guy souls' are very old souls. Go figure.
Point being, this experience was quite different from my other contacts with the ancients.
As we move through this existence as it is, there are points where if you are from a higher developing soul, you will be given opportunities to check
out.
Yes! …and I'm pretty sure I've walked away from some really good ones out of pure ignorance.
Most likely there was a twinsoul at the bottom of this and even though they do not live in the reflection of time as humans do, the being could not
bear to watch you suffer and wanted to give you the chance to 'go home".
Maybe - I've never been aware of a 'twinsoul' but it could be. My experiences with these 'travels' shows me 'the ancients' are quite aware of
pain and suffering, and consider it a normal part of the human experience, of the sensory life. Going home is always an option but seeing it through
is better.
You have chosen to be a catalyst, to jump start other souls to remember and to be here at this critical time in our planets history. You are a being
of light or this could have never happened, ...
A good part of me thinks embracing that notion would be untenable hubris, and a big step towards narcissistic madness. At the same time, I recognize
that
knowing one's purpose is essential. …My personal middle ground is in recognizing that: we
all have a purpose; finding our
purpose and bringing it to consciousness is part of our job; and living and working consciously is what it's all about.
(Remind me to tell you about the 1987-ish past life regression I had with deep tissue massage.)
So now remember to be grateful in everything
Ahh. That wonderful awareness and gratitude after an NDE does go - sometimes it lasts a few years, but the heightened state just doesn't stick.
Still, there's always the memory, and at least intellectual knowledge of the substance of the memory. It's hard to live in gratitude but I do,
always in some small way, just not with that almost visible glow.
Without these challenges you would have been less not more, you can use the entire experience as your final reminder of your ultimate mission, your
remembrance of who, what, why, when and where, and that is a gift in and of itself to be cherished and experienced.
So true! ...The Sufis say, "If you want to increase your power, increase your
need."
In my experience and observation, that's how it works. Our 'challenges' create needs that require 'power' to fulfill, and so it is that we
acquire what we need to learn and grow and move forward.
I am honored to have you as a friend, wise antar. Thank you for being you, and being here.
