We Need to Talk

 

If any part of what we talked about in the article “We’re not alone” is even close to reality, it seems like chatting with God or any of his helpers should be a lot easier than most of us have experienced to this point in our lives.  Why would our super mentor leave us stranded on this insignificant little planet without guidance, to stumble our way through an incomprehensible existence toward an obscure, unfathomable destination?  That just doesn’t make a lick of sense to me. I’m betting – at least up to a nickel or two – that two-way (yes, I said “two way”) communications with the “system” is actually pretty simple and is just a matter of “tuning in”.

 

And no, I’m not talking about having to use one or more of a currently available selection of paraphernalia to make a connection into the Spiritual Web.  And – I’m also not referring to a requirement of having to complete some type of elaborate ritual or enter a mental fog bank to assure a good connection with the “other side”.  Don’t get me wrong here.  There are all kinds of tools available in this world to help us do a pile of different stuff. If you think a particular device or technique will – or is – helping you get through the Great Veil, then go for it.  Whatever works for you is cool.

 

In my personal opinion, just opening our minds to the possibility of two-way communications is 90 percent of it.  As an example, most of us at sometime in our life have had a surge of what is normally referred to as “intuition”.  Now admittedly, some of this may be the normal result of our brain’s wonderful ability to subconsciously retrieve information and apply it without any conscious effort from us, to an immediate situation.  There is also a distinct possibility that at least a part of our intuitive instincts are a result of an information flow from “back home”.  It may be something like an encouragement to aim our lives in a certain direction or even to perform one simple, immediate act such as making a phone call, checking out something on the Internet or turning right at the next corner. 

 

And think about some of those nagging thoughts you’ve probably had in the past.  You know, the ones where your inner self keeps telling you that you really oughtta do this or you really shouldn’t do that.  Remember what happened when you continued to ignore those gut feelings?  It usually wasn’t all that great was it?  But when you finally gave in and did whatever it was that you felt you should do, most of the time it eventually turned out pretty good.  The few times our results were what we considered to be less than ideal may have been because we actually were allowing our mind to play one of its little games – or maybe the immediate result was simply a part of one of the lessons we needed to learn. 

 

Is there a more direct route to access the information we need (emphasis on need, not want) to do the things we need to do?  Yeah, I think so.  I personally think that all we need to do is ask for it.  Ask who?  Whatever or whomever we would consider to be our primary source of spiritual information and guidance.  God – or our personal concept of a higher power, infinite wisdom, etc. – would be a logical first choice.  If we are more comfortable with the thought of chatting with a personal guide or some other type of spiritual mentor, I don’t see any reason that wouldn’t work just fine. 

 

I would be somewhat hesitant about relying on another person to retrieve the information on our behalf.  Even though I feel there are probably many qualified, honest individuals (psychics, mediums, etc.) who have the abilities to get at least some of what we’re looking for, I would bet that there are many others who are more interested in digging into our wallet and feeding us what we want or expect to hear.  And – even the most qualified, conscious, honest individuals won’t be right all the time.  Because they’re all human, once in a while their own thoughts (programming) will sneak into the picture to shade it slightly.  Besides, this old world has entirely too many variables to permit 100 percent accuracy on any second-hand projections or recommendations being passed our way.

 

So that brings me back to my original suggestion.  Let’s just do the direct dial thing to whatever or whoever we consider our spiritual advisor to be, express our thoughts and ask for the information we think we need.  Then it’s just a matter of hanging loose, being receptive and seeing what we get back.  It sounds way too simple, doesn’t it?  If you’ll re-read the second sentence of this paragraph, you’ll see again the two key words that help to simplify this whole process.  The first word is “information”.  Yes, I’m fairly certain there are times when events occur or situations develop that will benefit us.  But if we’re asking to win the lottery, get a new car, get bigger boobs, have a situation removed so we won’t have to deal with it or asking for someone else to behave differently, we’ve basically pushed the disconnect button.  If we’ll focus on the information, we’ve improved our chances of a reply dramatically.

 

The other key word is “need” – not want.  What we want and what we actually need are frequently two entirely different things.  In fact, there are times in all of our lives when the last thing we want to hear about – especially from some really smart dude on the other side - is what we “need”.   Man, gettin’ this kind of information may mean that we’ll need to change our entire pattern of thinking.  Or maybe it will mean that we’ll really have to face one of our foundation fears and do something really, really uncomfortable for us.  Yuck and double yuck!  However, if we are personally ready to accept and perhaps even act upon the information we might receive, there is a very good chance that we will actually get something useable back in one form or another.

 

Before anyone extrapolates any of this into SillyLand, let me add a couple of clarifying points.  Information back to us can come in a variety of ways.  It may be through thoughts, dreams, words from any number of “regular” sources that “ring our bell”, situations or events.  We will in all probability, NOT hear God’s booming voice directing us to do something.  And for damned sure, we will NEVER be led to intentionally hurt anyone in any way.  A love-based system just doesn’t work that way.

 

I know.  There are those who will think my eyes are brown only because I’m almost completely full of crap.  But what if this communication thing is really that easy?  What if many of us are passing up a wonderful, natural opportunity to learn the things we need that will help truly benefit us and help make this life a bunch easier and more enjoyable.  What if…?
