Stop and
listen sometime to the noises going on inside your
head, the stream of random thoughts that finds you
talking to yourself out loud even though there's
no one else around. You know it’s you, it’s always
been you since you know how you think yet why is
it so many of the thoughts seem to predict what's
about to happen seconds ahead of time or the great
advice you've just given yourself seems to have
developed a personality? The thoughts that make up
the background flow of words, feelings, and
emotions waiting to be expressed are an important
part of an individual's identity but have you ever
wondered what takes place in that wilderness of
words unformed but are ready to be placed in a
sentence? So have I and, as readers of this
webpage know, having a conversation with my twin
soul in my head comes with the territory which
brought up the question of how does it work for
everyone else in their minds? How do they go
through each day sorting through the background
sounds in their heads, what process does the mind
use to filter the best information out of that
chaos to express an idea, what out of all of that
is valuable teaching and which are the random
meanderings of daydreams? Well wisdom is always
available from within and merely the knowledge
that a thing exists is enough to begin a search
for the source of that knowledge though in this
case the source is us and yet at the same time it
isn’t. Also, meditation helps with the filtering
part and a much quieter mind has the ability to
sort through the jumble of thoughts taking place.
As mentioned
many times in these editorials, this is hardly the
only life that can be experienced or has been
experienced. No matter how many lives a person has
lived there have always been souls traveling in
the same group with one another. Sometimes as
family members, sometimes as best friends or
enemies, sometimes as soulmates and sometimes as
all of the above. Add to this the possibility of
twin souls, triple souls, and even quadruple souls
and you have a number of beings that is
staggering. Quite often that group of souls do not
incarnate at the same time and not always on the
same dimension. It is in that waiting period
between lives when time is spent as a guide for
other souls in the soul group and the training to
be a guide happens during the many years of
waiting for rebirth. But, before accepting
responsibility as a guide, one has to come to an
understanding first what is going on in the mind
that is being guided. Rarely is it isn’t only a
single guide per person and more often than not,
guides are working together to assist in a
person's growth based on the extra knowledge
gained during the waiting period. Having access to
the Akashic records of a person helps with their
guidance along a path but other sources of
inspiration are available also. Twin souls, higher
dimensional entities, and a person's superego can
be valuable sources of information so it is a good
way to use the internal filter to identify their
voices of guidance over the other ones. Taking it to
that next step requires having a calm mind sharp
enough to notice all the little details around you
from what the senses take in. At certain times of
the day there will be a bit of foreknowledge about
some of the most insignificant things happening
that would usually be ignored. You will be
thinking of a word and suddenly see it in an ad or
make a decision based on a "coincidence" that
turns out to be fortuitous. Those moments once
noticed will be hard to ignore after that and it
may become a game to see where the conversations
in the brain lead. Now it is a matter of filtering
those thoughts as unique from the others for the
flavor that seems to accompany them and the focus
meditation brings begins to open the mind up to
those singular trains of thought that drown out
any distractions interfering with personal growth.
Changes are seen in small stages but it starts
with dreams, dreams that have stories remembered
upon waking as full and rich in depth as if they
were real. Next come outward changes such as
replies to questions that take longer because the
thoughts being used to form an answer are being
drawn from those higher sources or a moment longer
is taken than normal to decide a direction.
Several years of constant use will see other
changes start to take place such as increased
patience, more self-confidence, a trust in what
life has to offer and a sense that you are no
longer alone in a world of over seven billion
people. The
workings of the mind are not confined to this time
and dimension and the guides working with us have
our long history of lives to draw from with all of
our possible futures mapped out based on our goals
and ambitions. Once the advantages of those higher
sources of advice are recognized the question will
come, “how was it not noticed all this time?” It’s
comfortable to think that every thought has been
generated by years of personal experience and that
guides advising us on how live our lives is the
stuff of science fiction but what if there is an
audience of souls who care about us and how our
lives turn out? Using the advice available from
that knowledge could be an invaluable edge to
living when more right decisions are made than
wrong, better phrasing is used to express ideas
and first-time meetings with people go smoother
than in the past. All this comes from the personal
experience gained from years of watching what can
happen when a person seeks the help being offered.
Your primary voice of guidance is trying to cut
through the clutter that makes up what we call our
train of thoughts and it holds the best options
possible to draw upon in these changing times.
That is because the lessons a life requires are
far easier when you have advice from someone with
only your best interests in mind and is in your
mind as well. In love and life
constantly as one, Russ and Karra.
