He says to me "try writing from your language" and so I shall
and they will simply have to keep up
or stumble their way through


or glide-


but that's all up to them, really, isn't it? Not my problem.



I woke up and stumbled about in the human mess for awhile
and I *could* talk about that- about all the pain and confusion that being human brings-

but that's where the virus wanted me to go
so I went somewhere else instead
asked more interesting questions
and got much more beautiful replies

I have remembered something
that to me has changed so many things



I didn't grow up here.

I was in the Otherrealms, doing other things
for the majority of the time

Being a child is like being an aspect
Another slice of the infinite loaf that is 'I'
Each moment a shadow that darkens and deepens
Until the drawing comes to life



It's just another phase
The Artist is I
The drawing is I
how interesting it all gets
depends on how interesting I want to be

in the process of nurturing this physical vessel to the point where it can accept the fullness of the consciousness

because consciousness
is so beyond here

This is a dribbling idiot realm
with nothing particularly interesting to say for itself

there are individual sounds
and frequencies
that rise and rise and trail wonder behind them
that together make a song
that creates new
where before there had been nothing

makes the unimaginable
possible



but I'm not sure
if that's what's happening here...

It happens here for me every time you communicate like this.

From the sublime (water in three different states) to the rediculous (cock ups) cant be anywhere else but the pub!!

Skype eh... the.dalek when your all ready. I don't advertise I'm online but I usually am altho I have a worse than usual tendancy toward sarcasm and black humour whilst in chat mode but tend to stay fairly quiet during group discussions. Go figure...

PS thanks all for some great reading and happy fathers day for those it applies to in relevant time zones.

To reignite the energetic discussions...

I've never been super psychic or anything - never talked directly with guides or ghosts or angels, never astral projected (at least consciously), never seen auras or the future. I even have a difficult time feeling the standard forms of tactile energy, such as in Qi Gong or Reiki, though I've been attuned. In this area I have to rely heavily on the intuition and claircognizance I've expressed in other posts.

Sometimes I'm bummed out by this seeming injustice (I want the fireworks, dammit). I even took a year-long, monthly course in witchcraft/Wicca/psychic development, but was too impatient with, and felt too little connection to the exercises to practice enough. Nonetheless, this past year I've been slowly growing more appreciative of my abilities. There is a lot of advantage and potential in formless and primal avenues of inspiration - less room for rigid and limited interpretation, more freedom to run with it in whatever way feels right.

I'm also quite empathic. I spend much of my daydreams mapping what certain experiences would feel like that are happening to the people around me, journeying down each little ramifying possibility, examining it and permeating it. So I can get a fair idea of what someone is experiencing, even as I've never encountered any such situation myself. Perhaps this is where my powers of imitation come from... I'm pretty skilled at copying facial expressions and the movements of animals; even the few times I tried Yoga the instructors were impressed at how quickly I picked up the gist of what they were doing. There are instances of extreme suffering I cannot imagine - or maybe I simply don't want to.

The empathy is such that when I'm conversing with someone I feel truly comfortable around (only a few people in my life thus far), I can eventually repeat back to them the essence of what they're experiencing, in as few words as possible and in a style and context that means something to them. Sometimes a spontaneous action occurs to me, something to illustrate my caring or to demonstrate a point, such as one during a walk when I stepped over a guardrail that we hadn't noticed was keeping us walking on a narrow, gravelly strip next to the road. It's very rewarding to feel that level of melding with another person, sometimes progressing to the point where we're communicating in richly nonlinear fashion. Never pure telepathy, but containing many elements of it.

These are the factors which largely compose my writing when I can let it flow freely and down into the more nebulous passions. I'm practicing letting this 'stream-of-consciousness' writing flow on this forum, even in places where it might seem gooey or out of place, because I believe it is an important key in healing elements of myself that are really needed at this point of development in my life. I'm capable of organized and analytical communication, at least commensurate with my limited experience and knowledge, though I always feel like I'm paddling painfully against the stream when I try to fit my expression into that kind of vector...

Besides the claircognizance and empathy... I've also experienced a few instances of clairalience ('clear smelling'). I'll just be lying in bed and suddenly I'll smell a person or place that I know, seemingly completely at random. Sometimes I get up and sniff around just to make sure it isn't something from my surroundings. Clairgustance ('clear tasting') sounds like a fun one as well, though I can't recall anything of this sort. Anyone else experience these?

I experience a form of telepathy that comes in a wave of textual 'images', emotions, sensations (the 'feeling' of emotion, the body feeling, the energetic signal and expression feeling), intention and a 'language' that the spirit speaks but the mouth and consciousness doesn't. Telepathy for me is like speaking Auslan, not signed English- the difference between the two is that signed English is spoken with the constructions, rules and syntax of written language, while Auslan is a richly descriptive language that doesn't follow the grammatical or syntactical rules; it's a visual language that's spoken with the body, the spirit, the emotions, the energy- I love signed languages and have always been able to understand body language from childhood to the point where deaf kids grokked that I knew what they were talking about even if I didn't 'speak' sign.

I recently met an individual who throws such clear and gorgeous information that she's heavenly to be around. She's a healer- acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist as well as a psychic; although she downplays the psychic element my own lit up around her as soon as I felt her scanning me energetically, which took a little while because her touch was so deft and light and I was focusing on sending. She has demonstrated her profound healing skill- I'm already altered after one treatment, can feel the difference in my body- and part of her ability is to do with her 'sensing'. It's so beautiful to be around another telepath, for want of a better word.



This is often how I write too, although I've had to give my Self permission to do that because frequently a reply to an individual will segue into a 'staring off into the distance writing while exploring' episode, and often the shift is taken personally, many cannot tell the difference between the writing styles of the two states and ignore the 'none of this is personally intended' disclaimers. I do try to cut the streaming out of replies these days and post them in a separate post, and this doesn't *always* happen. I for one am swimming with you, grinning, as we travel upstream-

because





Clairalience- I have that, although I don't call it that, I've never called it anything, I'm just aware that sometimes it happens. It's funny how it works, and how batty it can drive me sometimes. I also have synesthesia, where I can taste colors and sound, hear the sound and feel the texture of colors, etc. It makes my world utterly fascinating to experience...
