#69 Stillness as a survival skill.

 

 

 

 

 

When you think of the word stillness what comes to mind?

Quiet? No breeze? Not moving? Still water? Something else?

The kind of stillness to which I refer is stillness of mind in a listening mode.

It can be considered a kind of meditation yet it need not be as if you were sitting in some yoga posture and breathing in special ways.

Most individuals are taught by priesthoods and tradition that when you want to communicate with deity one must “pray”.

Prayer is a form of talking not listening.

Power is in listening not talking.

Whether you choose to believe it or not EVERY human on our world has a direct link to their Creator as part of their physical-spiritual existence.

The human body utilizes the pineal gland as a kind of receptor for non physical sensing but that is NOT where deity resides. Deity resides in the non physical. No time -no space.

Information is continuously being transmitted to each of us on many levels yet few of us ever listen consciously. When you are in your spiritual form you receive all communications all the time and only listen [not with ears] to those communications you pay attention to or which are encoded for your personality.

When you are in the flesh existence of Space- Time you have to actively listen for anything with your existing senses. Some communication comes to you via dreams but those are often misinterpreted due to your context of images which may be severely limited or out of context with the message. Some communications seem to be audio even though you are not hearing with your ears. Some communications are feelings … these are the most accurate when in the flesh.

That part of you which is connected directly with Deity/God is incapable of receiving the total message content due to the mismatch in TIME SPACE and SPACE TIME information streams. It is as if you are being given information with a fire hose and you only have a teaspoon to drink from the stream. Because of this inequality you are challenged to understand information when you only have bits and pieces of information to understand the big picture message directed to you.

Remote viewing is like that too, at first. Until you learn to assemble all the little bits of information into a comprehensible message.

Stillness is the method by which YOU are able to focus on only the message being given to you without external distractions. It is much like when you are in a busy restaurant and can still have a conversation with a friend even with the distractions all about you. The distractions are not noticed.

Some people meditate in the traditional sense. Some people walk as meditation. [I don’t mean with headphones as a distraction.]

Some people garden and use the sensation of garden tasks to quiet the mind. Some knit or draw doodles… whatever works.

I want you to do something else even simpler.

Whenever you need an answer to a question or solution for a problem … just stop for a brief moment. It doesn’t matter where you are or your surroundings. You could even be driving it’s that safe and brief.

Ask this series of questions to yourself and FEEL an immediate response.

With respect to your intended question for assistance from Deity:

1- Am I on the right path [Referring to your choice you do know.]? Then FEEL … you will get one of three feelings.
a- A good feeling. Nothing more.
b- An uncomfortable feeling. Nothing more.
c- No feeling one way or the other.
If you get a or b you have your first answer. If you get c then you need to use a deeper form of communication explained later in this post.
2- Do I have the ability to solve the problem myself? Then FEEL again. a- , b-, c- again
3- Is it important I choose a solution to this problem now? Then FEEL … Then a,b,c again
Once you have your FEELING answers to these three initial questions you will know if you need to continue in a more private setting for further information.

The results to these simple questions allows the Deity information to come to you in the most efficient manner… emotions in short bursts. Feel good, feel uncomfortable or no feeling either way.

This form of practice can be about any questions requiring only those emotional states in answer. OBSERVE your results when you follow the good feelings. Think back on times when you had a gut feeling and did not act upon it. What were the results? I wager you will see how you should have gone with your first feelings. OR, when you did follow your gut feelings good things happened.

This fast track form of stillness practice allows you to sensitize yourself to such feelings. They will be important your whole life.

Now, when you have the set aside time, find a place at home, in a park, in your parked car, in your office … anywhere you can spend a few minutes without interruption to learn a deeper form of stillness.

When you have selected the place and time (space time location) to begin your stillness communication practice sit or lie comfortably. Ask your question one time. Repetition is not necessary. Then FEEl. You might say to your friend and Creator, ” Hi God… I’m here with you.”

You are waiting for your recognition of the feeling of contentment in your body that many describe as “everything is OK”, or “ joy”, or “ warm fuzzies”, or “love” or any other positive feeling identified by you as coming into your body.

THAT feeling is your body response to communication with your Creator within. Don’t freak out if you feel nothing at first. Creator is there. Creator is always there. Take a deep breath or two and await your feeling again. It simply means you are blocking the feelings. You are only going to feel nothing if you are blocking or you will fee the goodness. There are no other responses in this part of stillness. If you have trouble feeling there are other techniques you can use not described herein.

Then, pay attention to any images, additional feelings or other sensations you receive. Smells, apparent sounds/words, and so forth. IT IS IMPORTANT to write these down as you sense them. Use ONLY the information you receive in the first minute of paying attention once you get that warm fuzzy feeling.

Everything after that will most likely be your mind trying to translate the message rather than the message itself. The creative mind is often wrong.

THEN review each piece of information received and ask any clarifying question regarding the separate pieces of information. Once that is completed you will have more clarity on your answer.

As you practice this you will no longet need to write down information pieces to have clarified.  Eventually, you will have more of a stillness conversation with your guidance by Creator. Eventually, you will not need quiet contemplation as you will be in continuous conversation as if you were walking with a friend and talking about everything in your day. I do that now. It is a good place to be when you are never alone and have no secrets or feelings to hide.

Here is a sample of a real life practice session I did in the beginning days of my learning to pay attention:

My problem was whether or not to stay in a particular relationship.

My first internal question was… “ Am I with the right person?” The answer was no feeling.

“Am I on the right path for my life?” The answer was discomfort.

“ Is the person I’m with the right person for me if I change my path?” The answer was an uncomfortable feeling.

“ Is there someone else I should have as a primary relationship to follow the better path?” The answer was a warm fuzzy feeling.

“Do I know this person already?” The answer was discomfort.

“Do I need to make my choice to end the relationship now?” The answer was discomfort.

“Is there a better time to make that choice?” The answer was warm fuzzy.

“Will you guide me in the right time to choose?” Warm fuzzy.

I left the communication at that point. I went on with life and about two weeks later, I was to meet someone I did not know previously, who eventually became my long time friend to this day who assisted me in a completely new path in life. My Original relationship ended but not until she had already met her new husband to be one week after my original questioning.

When I first encountered the new relationship I was overwhelmingly infused with that warm fuzzy feeling in such a manner that it could not be ignored. I had my answer.

Not all answers will come that fast. Sometimes they take months or years. Free will dictates even to God that elements must align for completion of life path choices.

Finally, for now, the reason it is important for you to learn how to communicate with your Creator is because in the near term our world will be challenged in a way that everyone will be in chaos emotionally. Those who can seek guidance will be directed to survival if that is their best path.

Also, it is important you practice NLA as noted in the previous post. That process will enhance your communication ability many fold compared  to just practicing Stillness.
