Leading up to 1983, I didn't realize it at the time, but I was 'spoiled' and pampered I wouldn't have admitted to that back then. I didn't do it all the time - but if anyone ever challenged me on a religious topic ... all I had to do was snap my finger and a slew of spirits would appear before my eyes. If need me, I could turn around and see an entire army of spirits at my 'beck and call.'Cryscat said:
I honestly didn't know that 'regular' mortal minds - didn't have this sort of thing at their disposal. It was my group of three friends who pointed this out to me. They didn't have access to 'spirit' like I did. If a 'religious figure' came on the TV and start jabbering on about this, that or the other - I had the ability to call 'counsel' with spirit and get insight to what was true and was 'false.' This was always done in 'secret' or 'hidden' from view of others. I just thought other people were doing it and it was hidden from my view - like my 'counsel' was hidden from other's view. I just had 'invisible elders' who came to me in a sit down pow-wow. I didn't know other people were not doing the very same thing.
I had no idea the hardship it is - to walk with 'blindness' and a 'lack of knowing.' All through my youth - this what I as being led to understand. Something akin to --'in order to fully comprehend the light - I first had to comprehend the darkness." There had to be a balance between the two.
I didn't have a real sense of compassion or empathy toward people who were 'blind' and 'without knowledge' of spirit. Prior to 1983, I couldn't even fathom an idea of what that was like in my wildest imagination. (Trust me, I tried to convince my 'elder spirit guides' - could try and pull that off.)
Many various reasons for the importance of that 'dark period' - or should I say this 'dark period.' It is still shut off. All I currently have access to is 'hindsight' and memories. I am no where near to what I was a part of (in spirit) back in 1983. I know it is coming,,,,, just don't know where, when or how.
Prior to 1983 - the one promise many people asked me to give them over and over was,
"Please, don't let the world change you."
I remember standing next to a traffic cop when he asked me for that promise in 1983. I was curious why everyone in my past had asked me for that same promise. He told me he felt the world was going to try and keep me from being the sort of person I had shown myself to be to him in a very short time. I told him as I had told all the rest before him,
"I plan to remain true to my heart - and there isn't a dang thing the world can throw at me to keep me from that in the end."
The world can not change the soul hidden inside of me.
Sincerely,
