Thank you very much for this fantastic series! It is very interesting and fascinating to say the least!
I do agree with you Carlisle, suspicion regarding "spirit guides" is very much warranted. I spoke of "guides" in this thread but what the word means to me based on my unique life experience, is not necessarily the modern day idea of a guide. It surely is a whole lot different than the "love and light" pop culture version. The idea of having some kind of collinear exchange with a so-called guide is foolish, and even dangerous.Carlisle said:If you consider it logically, the whole 'spirit guides' thing seems pretty suspicious. We know there is no free lunch. Therefore anything that wants to guide you, without you first making enormous efforts using your own will, clearly has an agenda. We certainly believe in guides, just that most of them are simply out to manipulate you.
As a species we are in such a degraded and fallen state that to assume we could just simply access the higher goodness in the universe is crazy. If such contact is ever to happen, we have to raise our frequency enough to at least meet them half way. This is the difference between making a choice to grow into a different reality where such things are possible, versus just wanting to be saved, or so I think.

So during the day say, I might think about my daughter coming home very late on a train from NYC to upstate NY, where she then gets into her car and drives home. When the thought of her comes into my mind, I say a prayer or think in my mind...protection for my daughter C. I don`t know who I`m praying to! I`d like to think that I`m some how creating positive energy going out to my daughter. I am so confused now. By doing that, am I manipulating the course of how things should be? Can a negative spirit attachment take that thought and run with it ,so to speak? Or am I getting carried away here?

Reading this I imagine you, Nancy, being worried about your daughter's trip back home (which I find completely understandable).
I could be wrong but if I'm not, I would ask you how can you send positive energy wile in a state of fear?
this, supposing that we can send anything....

When I was into New Age circles they would propose a lot of stuff to send light, heal the hearts and mind of others, cleansing the mother Earth etc... I know also a lot of Buddhist people who are constantly praying for fixing things up all around themselves (most of the time without asking permission to anyone). Laura covered the topic on great lenght on more that one occasion.
To me this thinking came handy to feel I could have a sort of control on the events (fear of the Abyss?) and prevented me from really accepting/seeing the nature of Nature with his polarity of forces.
Since a wile I've been into dealing with whatever issues was coming along like a challenge and an adventure (thanks Laura for the suggestion!) and reality seems much richer than it was before.
How can we discover our buffers, program and predator if we do not get distressed sometimes? How can we learn to be really creative?
And if we pray to do not get distressed and to make things going our way, how can we advance?
During the last year I'm praying the Cosmic mind to learn how to be open to see new things about myself and the reality around me, to get the most of the lessons life it's offering me trying to be as more phenomenological as I can trying not to judge what the outcome can be (or should be).
Lindenlea said:Also, when we say 'Spirit Guides' does that also encompass the 'Guardian Angel' name people use, or is that viewed as a different entity?
I started having the more of doubts on the New Age teachings when references where often been made on the subject of Angels and Guides. I remember asking myself If they where just some sort of thoughtforms feeding themself with the faith of people.
From what I got from the Cass reading,Laura , Gurdjeff etc the emphasis is on the personal work which none can do for you.
For me the best assistance right now is coming from networks of people (this or others) with whom you can have a direct interaction.
Just my 2 cents

"The main reason for feeling scared is giving up the power of yourself. People won't give it up by their free will, but they do it all the time when they have been hurt. When they don't want the hurt to be a part of their personal memory, they, reject the traumatic experience altogether. They don't accept it as a completed part of themselves so a memory demon catches it and states, 'This is mine.' The memory demon gets the energy; the self loses it.
"The gap in one's personal story has been created and it is always experienced thereafter as fear. When we feel fear, we feel this gap between what we know as our accepted memory and what belongs to some dark corner inside us. The fear returns again and again to hurt us. And through us it hurts others, and through this it feeds its secret memory.
"It is true that when a person is filled with fears, he becomes vulnerable to any type of psychic influence because he has lost a connection with himself, the connection being the ultimate protection. [...]
If your memory gaps are not healed, if you reject your past, then you let the spirits of trauma in. Sooner or later, no matter how great you are, they come to torture you and to torture others through your actions.[/b] [...]
"The gap in the psyche I told you about before is a seat for a memory demon to anchor in to and grow. It is a parasite which tries endlessly to deceive you into believing II is an innermost part of you while it sucks your energy and makes you feed it with more fears. The gap is created any time something traumatic happens and the personality is not strong enough to accept it as a part of itself. The psyche takes it in as something foreign to itself. Then, when many of those experiences have accumulated, they become a nourishing substrate for another subject. Because it is brought up by trauma, one can call it the spirit of trauma. Everyone has it.
"More or less, we all carry these detached memories which become taken over by memory demons. They are inherited as the fears and traumas of our parents and ancestors. The spirits of traumas create yet more traumatic circumstances, again and again. They help people make excuses to avoid seeing them in the full light of day. They make people suddenly tired, uninterested, wanting to change the subject before the trauma's nature is uncovered. Like your wanting to return to the hotel now."
"These are the physical 'islands of memories,' parts of the body which memory demons used to live in. Your culture would call it punishment for sins. The main attribute of sin, if we are to use this term at all, is not its moral characteristic, but its ability to stop further development, to block further movement. All 'great' sinners, as essentially the personifications of the memory demons and whatever wrong deeds they did, had one thing in common: their awareness was fixed on the subject of their sin, be it greed, lust, jealousy, or anger.
"These different qualities served as a dam built up against their development and transformation. And this is what started the process of segregation and involution. When they died and disintegration began, their awareness was stuck with only their sin and trauma, and they died a second death, losing their individual awareness eventually. Their individual selves ceased their existence after the second death."
Arwenn said:I wonder if one can inherit fears and possible thought loops from parents and ancestors as suggested in the book above?
Laura said:It's very much like what one finds doing Spirit Release therapy though SRT is a bit more straightforward. What I've found in most cases is that an attachment can frequency match to a trauma in an individual and get "stuck" there. For example, one client had a bike accident as a child. He was riding his bike near a hospital where someone had just died. The attached spirit was in a more or less confused after death state, was attracted to the frequency of the crying child, and presto, instant connection. The child had an injury from the fall and this attached entity sort of "lived" there for years, affecting the clent's thoughts and emotions as well as perpetuating the injury. (He had a bum knee.) Basically, this entity's life experiences strongly influenced how he thought and reacted to things. It was a simple matter (using SRT techniques) to identify this entity, to counsel her and persuade her to leave and continue the normal dying process that had been suspended for many years.
This type of situation is seen in SRT over and over and over again. This is, of course, one of the topics I will cover in the Knowledge and Being series when I am able to get back to making those videos. Knowing the techniques of SRT - and applying them - is essential for anyone who would wish to engage in a channeling experiment because most entities you communicate with in about any "psychic experiment" of that type are simply attachments. You have to go through layer after layer of removing such before you get to the levels where pure communication with something truly interesting and "higher" can take place.

I am thinking that a spirit board might be a useful tool for communication in the future, possibly the near future. From what I understand, when Laura communicates with the C's using a board, she is communicating with her higher self. If the C's are a unified group soul (hope I got this right), then those that are becoming "like minded" with Laura are also a part of this group soul. If and when (probably when) the time comes that we would lose all communication with each other (power grid going down, everything is in havoc etc...) then maybe the board could be used to communicate among ourselves. When we've reached a high enough level spiritually to use a board, we could also communicate with our higher selves, which would include all those part of this group soul. Sort of like telepathy, which I understand will be the way of communicating in 4D. Does this make any sense?
Well, yes. I mean, Paul always said that we shouldn't think of the catastrophes to come strictly in terms of 3D. As a multidimensionnal communication tool, a spirit board might be another handy thing to have in case of TEOTWAWKI*, among other things we're doing here, like EE, diet, and in a more general way, growing in knowledge and awareness. I've read some survivalism stuff this past months and, well, it was kinda depressing to realize that chances of surviving a major event while living in a urban area are pretty slim unless you're "prepared", unless you have a group, weapons... etc. And that's 3D thinking. So, I'd rather being able to use a spirit board safely than buying a gun a waiting for the big one. But I might do both. But that's slightly off-topic :p.
