Many years ago when I was recording my dreams, I was writing down a dream that I had just had in the middle of the night. Suddenly the words I was writing seemed different, I wanted to write as though I was outside myself, addressing myself by my name as though I was no longer writing as myself. I allowed this process to happen, and continued to write, and then the words began to interpret my dream for me. I was delighted by that, as it saved me having to look at it later. The lazy bit of me came into full view.
Just as I felt satisfaction in this, as I continued to write what was being said changed again. I was being told off by this part of me that seemed be be both outside and inside myself. It went of for several pages and I was rather shocked by what was being said about me, I know in my heart that it was all true, but that did not make it any easier to accept. I did not like this coming from within me as it meant that at some level I had to accept what was being said. If I was told it by someone I could ignore it, but if it came from within me, then it had to be accepted at a deeper level.
This process went on for some weeks, and my physical Spiritual Teacher encouraged it. Initially I could only seem to do it if I was writing, but that required effort, which I did not like much as I have difficulty reading my own writing, and I would often sabotage what was coming through by being unable to read it later. Then I started to try to find the same source by speaking aloud. If I relaxed first, and then allowed myself to speak anything that came to mind, slowly the feeling that I was being spoken through started to evolve.
I would speak in slightly different voices, and very often at different speeds. Sometimes the words would be very biblical, and at others all in rhyme. All this was to show me that it was not just my words alone because some of it was so clever I could never have dreamed it up.
My teacher suggested that it was coming from the positive part within me, call it my soul, guide, guardian, or whatever. It did not seem right to give it a single name as all sorts of different thoughts would come to mind as though specialists were coming in to offer advice on different subjects. So as it was coming from the positive aspect of myself it was nicknamed Christopher's Positive, or CP for short.
I have always been reluctant to use this ability, especially if it relates to myself, and answers to questions about myself. However when pushed, I have used the thoughts and suggestions to great effect in guiding my actions and taking major decisions in my life. But it is always more difficult to look at myself as there is then a clash between the higher and lower parts of me, and I lose confidence about the results. I guess when that happens then the lower self has won that round. I have found that it is the same for everyone. It is easy to offer advice, but difficult to do it yourself. It is the same principle.
When I have talked to CP from a position of confidence, and talked to others who have asked questions, sometimes what I have said has seemed very normal, but those who have listened have commented on the great wisdom or humor coming through. My Teacher would encourage me to talk to CP very often, as when I was with her then she would feel a great deal of positive and calming energy flowing from my being. Another friend who was very clairvoyant, told me that when I tuned in and started to talk, immediately my aura expanded dramatically and took on a wonderful blue colour which seemed to fill the room. I did not want to believe it most of the time, so these things were thrown at me frequently so that I could accept what was happening was in fact really happening.
Slowly I developed a bit more confidence and would use this source more often to help both myself and others. Sometimes they would know that I was channeling, as we would do it consciously. At other times, I would be aware that what I was saying to someone was coming from a higher place within me, as the words were not those I was about to say consciously, and then I would just relax and continue the conversation and not think about what I was going to say, I would just speak what came to mind. Often to great effect.
I have often been asked if I see anyone or hear the words. The answer is "No". I just say what comes to mind, or very often I get an image or symbol in my head, and I just talk around my interpretation of what I have seen. If I seem to be going wrong, then new thoughts or new images will come to correct it. Most often it seems to be an inspiration of something to say, and then I just put the flash or as I call it a "zip" of thoughts into understandable words, and continue until I feel satisfied that the meaning has been imparted, and then I get a new "zip" of inspiration.
I have not recorded what has been said before, so it will be nice to see how it comes out in writing. Some of the words I remember and often use, such as the definition of a smile, which is "A smile is a reflection of a smile." So simple, and so true when you think about it. If you smile, it almost always gets a smile back. I have also been given a blessing for food, which I use all the time and that is:-
"In the name of The Christ, I ask this food be blessed, so the fruits of the earth may feed our physical bodies, and the blessing our Spiritual bodies." I then sound an "OM", or "Amen" if that is more appropriate.
I am told that you can use any name of God or a Great Teacher instead of The Christ if you prefer.
I am now beginning to accept that I may have something to offer others, and so I have decided to record a daily saying each morning after my meditation. C P's daily sayings for January are on this web site. After the first few days of the year, which were a summary from memory, the other days are transcribed from a recording of the actual words. I will update these daily when possible, and if I am away, then I will put them in the section of past sayings.
I hope that these thoughts and words will be of some small value to someone somewhere, but even if they are not, they help me, and by making a commitment to myself to do this every day it forces me to find that place where I can be one with my own soul, to listen to "The still small voice of calm", or "The voice in the wilderness", instead of the usual squawking ego parrot that sits on my shoulder creating havoc.
As I get more in tune with the higher, it stays longer and the squawking parrot gets blotted out. For that alone this exercise is well worth the effort.
Talk to your own positive. I am not the only person who has done this, and here is a link to tell you other ways to get in touch with your Higher Self. The message is the same in a different set of words.
It comes to mind now as I write to add that this is an ability that is available to everybody. Relax and start to talk to yourself as though you are outside yourself, and you will be surprised at the results. Many of you are doing it already, especially if you are bringing words of comfort to someone. How often have you had it said to you by someone you have helped, that you have said exactly the right thing to help them at that time? If you allow these thoughts to come in, and bar the thoughts that come from the ego, then you will learn to discern the difference. and be in tune with the highest at all times.
How can you discern the difference between the higher self and the lower self speaking? The answer is that no matter what you are thinking, saying or doing, you can ask yourself the question. "Would I say, or do this, if my mother was watching" Or if you want to make it more spiritual, you could ask the same question and imagine that God or a Spiritual Teacher was there with you. If the answer is yes, and it is obviously not going to do any harm to anyone, then you have discerned the positive within you, and you will be thinking and acting in a positive way.
Try it now and see how you get on. Even if it is for a moment, it will be a benefit. Next time you are annoyed or frustrated by someone or something, talk to yourself and find out why. In this way you will get to know yourself. As you learn about your lower self, especially the silly egotistical reasons as to why you were annoyed, then you will get to know your Higher Self. That is the one to know. When you can start to look at your lower self, with all it's faults with compassion and not let it bother you, then you have made real progress. Then you can learn to laugh at it. That is really powerful. This is not easy, but it is an essential part of your being. You will find out how much we are driven by the ego or lower self, and how many of our actions are to please others or create an impression, and how annoyed we get if our strategies do not work. The Higher Self does not care about these things, it just is. When you can just be yourself and say and do what you want to do, and not be doing things simply to please others, then you will have made dramatic progress on the path back to God. That is assuming that the things you do will not destroy the harmony of those around you. Looking at it from a higher perspective, you will have killed the dragon of the desires of the lower self.
It says over the Temple of Delphi in Greece. "Man know thyself" The same message is repeated over and over again in slightly different ways in all religions. This is one way to get to know your Higher Self. When you know your Higher Self, then you know God. Mohammed said that "God is closer to you than your jugular vein." This is an interpretation of what he meant. God is everywhere both within and without. Look around you and get that inner positive voice of yours to guide you and show you. You will never regret it.
As you develop the ability and have confidence, then you will be creating that being that can be called your own positive being. The being that is called "Christopher's Positive" is also able to develop within you as your positive. It already exists, all you have to do is find it. See it as a domain name. You, me, or anyone's @positive. When that happens we will no longer need the internet, we will all be one. We will love ourselves, and we will love all those around us as one being. The Positive domain of Light will have arrived.
