I Don't Live in the Past...

This morning, I was reading some comments about the Bible said this and the Bible said that. I was thinking about these stories of the past, as well as other religious books and their stories that I've read over the years. 

From them, we've learned that these are the foundation stones upon which our spiritual insights are based, but we don't live today as they did back then. In many areas, around our planet, we are a very advanced society today, because of science and technology. Hopefully, we will continue advancing into our future, because life is all about change. 

Of course, this doesn't mean we still can't live by the Golden Rule, which I believe is the main rule from what we've, hopefully, learned from many of these religious and historical stories. We can have advancements but we should still try and treat others as we want to be treated... as humanly possible. 

Anyway, as I was reading comments and trying to justify past and present, I heard: If I don't want my children living in the past, what makes anyone think I am? 

I believe I got my answer. 

Closed Minds

Almost daily we deal with closed-minded thinking, but it shouldn't come from our family or friends. 

They should be the people in our life that listen without judging, offering sympathy and advice if needed. They should ask intelligent questions to understand, offer constructive argument to make sure you're doing okay or they're understanding your point of view. They should stimulate your mind with their wisdom... ideas to be discussed openly and reasonably with love not hate.

Anyone who doesn't meet this standard should be allowed to move on with love, but you owe no loyalty to anyone that's carrying a closed-minded ego who wants nothing less but to see you closed-minded too.

Of course, one should not judge others being closed-minded until given ample time to prove it's true. If you deny them your thoughts/feelings, you are the one being closed-minded... not them. 

If you judge someone, without given them an option to be enlightened, then you are responsible for closing the door to their minds. If you have the key but refuse to use it, you cannot find fault in anyone but yourself. 

Spirit Attachments: Harmful or Harmless?

A long-time spiritual and metaphysical healer once told me that good healing facilitator isn’t attached to outcomes. She had many years of experiences with releasing spirits of all types from people. As she mentioned, "a well-trained spirit communicator isn't concerned over ego or judgments, but only desires truth-seeking for answers. What one does with the answers is up to the individual."

While we were communicating, she brought up the subject of gender issues. She said, "there are many who are in denial that spirit possession and attachments have been found to be one of the causes of gender identification issues, but the literature involving case studies speaks otherwise." 

I told her that this was something I had seen also. After I started making my videos, I was contacted by a young man who was having feelings of being a female. The short version to this story is that he gave me permission to investigate. Two major things came up in the many conversations we had. One was that he had been influenced by a drag queen show he went to once. Another one was an influence by his grandmother who he loved very much. This grandmother had passed on but was still around and her energy was prominent. I even suggested that she shouldn't be around him. I advised him of everything that I saw and heard but told him that it was still his decision to fight off the feelings or succumb. I wasn't there to judge but only advise. 

If anyone wants to read a more in-depth life evaluation, the below link is what I wrote regarding Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner some years ago.

As you can see, influences may be from anywhere and anyone for any reason and at any time. Even a loved one crossing over can be an influence to ones' way of life. Not all attachments are extreme to the point of possession either. There are a lot of variables which I've discovered over the years. And, anyone can do an internet search regarding spirit attachments to learn more, as there are numerous experts offering information. 

Please keep in mind, we don't live in this world alone. Spirit attachments can be a huge cause of many things. However, a well-trained individual, dealing with the spirit world, can determined if influences are coming from an individual's soul, outside, or both. They can also determine if it's an innocent attachment of like-mindedness, or a willing to harm someone - as in a curse. 

In addition, if one's immediate reaction to something said (written) is a strong denial or a hateful rebuttal, that may be a sign that it's time to investigate; if one wants or is allowed to do so.

The question then would be: whose free will is going to be stronger?

Pride Goes Before A Fall

I had a dream this morning that I was yelling at a young woman sitting at a table with some others (my feelings were she was a member of Congress), because she had said something sarcastic to me about being unimportant (or something along those lines). The discussion had been on our current economy.

I told her that my background in bookkeeping/accounting, as well as my knowledge of past history, regarding economic topics, were more important then her just holding a position with little to no knowledge of this. That this attitude is what creates problems in our country. Too many have little knowledge of economics or our laws. But what's worse is when they show their ignorance with arrogance or judge another that's there to help. 

Yes, I was a tad angry in the dream, because it's what I've seen for years with people being elected. They're going to change the country, or the world, but most are ignorant to many things and then get mad when anyone tries to advise.

When I was younger, I wouldn't dream of being so arrogant or acted as if I knew everything. Today, especially with the comments from some on social media, the idiocy, hubris, and arrogance that I see and sense is outrageous. 

Afterwards, I started thinking about that saying, "pride goes before a fall" and that maybe this dream was a warning. Which is why I decided to write about it, because it's been on my mind ever since.
