Probing Of Our Thoughts by Spirits

Published July 2, 2020 by tindertender

Question: Can spirits see everything we do?

Answer: They can, becaue you are constantly surrounded by them. However, they can only see those things on which they focus their attention, because they do not busy themselves with matters to which they are indifferent.

Question: Can spirits know our most secret thoughts?

Answer: They frequently know about that which you would like to conceal from yourselves. Neither actions nor thoughts can be hidden from them.

Question: So it is easier to conceal something from a person who is still alive, than to do so after the person has died?

Answer: Certainly, and when you fancy yourselves in absolute privacy, you often have a throng of spirits by your side, watching you.

The Spirits’ Book by Allan Kardec, Chapter 9, 456 & 457

I can attest to the truth of the ‘throng’. I prefer to call them voyeurs, although that might be seen as a bit derogatory. You see, I’ve been aware of my “in crowd” for some time. They try to influence decisions, they attempt to coerce me into a certain ‘belief’ about them so they can attain some sort of ‘agreement’.

If you notice your thoughts tend to be on the darker side, and you also notice an abundance of karma in your life, you may want to consider what you are showing the unseen as to who you are and what you are about.

We gain what we give.

Always.

Be aware … you are never alone, even when it seems you are.

No thing goes unseen or unnoticed.

We ought to try and remember this when we choose to behave certain ways. It will be returned to us.

And we’ll have earned it.

Shades of Love

Published June 30, 2020 by tindertender

One of my favorite things to do is listen to the masculine sing songs of love and pretend he’s singing to me. It makes me smile, knowing that somewhere out there, someone would love to sing to me songs of love … and so I strengthen this knowing by inviting it into my daily living.

Robert Bassett is a new find of mine, and I love his songs. I have a few favorites I’ll share here.

I hope they bring you as much pleasure as they do me.

When To Tune In

Published June 30, 2020 by tindertender

Some folks will say anything to flatter you.

Your ego will be so happy at receiving attention it will not allow the inner portions of self to pick up on the vibration …

Are the words truth?

Or are they being utilized to manipulate you into a specific situation and experience?

It is so important to gain control over the ego’s need for praise.

It will get you into trouble every time.

Allow the heart to see clearly … reading between the lines … increasing the chances of gaining access to transparency, to truth.

This secret powert of discernment belongs to every individual.

With practice … releasing the need for praise and promotion … truth will become more readily available and error will become less frequent.

Heck, with practice, we ALL might just become one happy go-lucky family!

Soul Recognition

Published June 30, 2020 by tindertender

It is easy to slip into shallow thinking and get caught up in the way things and people appear.

It is more difficult to cut through the shallow into the depths of soul … to view a situation and person as they are … on the inside.

May minds be freed from the need to inhabit the seat of judgement.

May hearts realize necessity for untethering, and release the love held there.

Bless all beings as they slip from their ‘yokes’.

May we be gentle with each other through these changes.

Coming back to Love.

HOW A DEPRESSED PERSON STAYS DEPRESSED

Published June 29, 2020 by tindertender

Written by Maria Palumbo: https://mariapalumbo.com/; https://www.facebook.com/maria.palumbo.loves

Surround yourself with people who talk at you, instead of with you. People whose problems always seem worse than yours.

Those that like to hear themselves talk. Who use you as a sounding board. They are always facing something they need to get off their chest.

Surround yourself with people who always have a new pain they need you for. Using your touch, your energy, as a way to reduce their discomfort.

Caretake their needs. They need more help than you do, you rationalize. Therefore you never have too many emotional needs. You never ask for help, for you can see how lonely
Needy
Vulnerable
Other people are.

Let yourself s*xually and/or emotionally give to them, as a service. It is too hard creating boundaries. You don’t mind just being who people need you to be at all times.

How depressed people stay depressed, is by never getting angry. Always bending over backwards and being flexible.

Choosing loved ones that mimic dad or mom. People who ignore
Invalidate
Who you are.
People that lean too hard on you at all times.

Have an ex lover? Or someone you are interested in? Stay energetically open to connecting with them, even when the relationship is unclear or unhealthy. When it gets in the way of you trusting and deepening with someone else.

Have frequent daily reminders of this relationship around, always taking you out of the present moment. Unconsciously making you hope for or live for the possibility of connecting with them.

Keep photos of the past, the ones who have died to you literally or metaphorically. Do not replace them with photos that reflect what is true today.

Live in a mental graveyard of the dead. Of regret. What happened always making you fear what COULD happen.

Love people who do not really care too much either way. Who encourage your addictions to suffering and loss of self, because they get something out of it. Because you have more focus and energy on them, when you do not treat yourself all that great. They can always get what they want when you don’t honor who you are.

It is easy to be a master at being depressed, especially during the aftermath of continual attack and murders of people of color. We are also facing the numbers of deaths crawling back up from the virus. You must, MUST, be even more diligent on owning your energetic boundaries
Asking for help.
Getting good help.
Being with people who see you, instead of use you as an escape.
Be with people that you cannot escape with because they want to look into your eyes and feel you really looking back.

Do not stay in the cozy prison of your numbness. It will only get worse there. Get help, even if you do not know what to say. Let people love you, by speaking up. Let people see you, by letting yourself be seen.

Depression makes you think no one really cares all that much anyway. So why bother? The truth is the world deeply cares. Especially the moment you decide you are worthy of being cared for.

You are precious even now. Especially now.

To your preciousness.

Love,
Maria

Flow With Intension

Published June 28, 2020 by tindertender

In this existence, we are seen yet also unseen (physical form vs our thought form). We are here and yet not here.

It is often stated that there does not appear to be an answer to a situation or circumstance. I know I’ve done it.

How can no solution exist?

We are here in the physical, and also in the spiritual through thought and energy.

If we become still and know that our perspective has been limited, opening to new ways of seeing things from our various positions in the seen and unseen worlds, answers will begin to flow.

People are so tense these days. Muscles contracting, heart speeding up, tensions rising, anxiety or fear. They are too much in their head and body … shrinking, becoming more and more rigid.

Life is a flow.

Momentum occurs when the intention and drive are combined into action. Rigidity has no ability to flow, it sinks.

We can become stuck in our stubbornness.

Don’t jam up.

Path of the Ancestors

Every year they cross at the same place, cruising through rural yards, sleeping in open meadows.

The path they use generation after generation is so well known humans post signs, alerting drivers to the potential of sighting one, maybe hitting one with a vehicle … a warning.

I think about people and their generational paths.

Were parents, grandparents, and earlier in the familial line alcoholics? Was someone a woman beater? Lazy? No job? Any number of limited behaviors that potentially infected the whole line of life, generation after generation, stuck in the same rut?

Much like the elk utilize the same paths, the same methods of hunting for food on the same grounds as their ancestors. Are they too stuck in a rut? Or do they just do what the mind tells them they should do?

It is every person’s responsibility to examine the functioning of the mind. Taking control of the output … controlling emotions, rather than being controlled by them.

Purposefully looking at habitual patterns and altering course … changing the pattern to something new, for a different experience, for a new potential of growth.

Only by being consciously aware of our mind and the thoughts therein can we master it. This requires work, continual practice.

Negative self talk should be rephrased immediately upon noticing. If it is allowed to continue, it will spew into the world, affecting relationships, causing hardship.

To change perspective and develop new ideas and outcomes, alter habitual patterns.

Now that you are an adult, it is your responsibility to perfect your character.

Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words. Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions. Be careful of your actions, for your actions become your habits. Be careful of your habits, for your habits become your character.

Our Creation

Published June 27, 2020 by tindertender

Artists do not allow an outside influence to construct their painting, or other creation. It is born of their own accord.

Remember this when it comes to your character.

Who you are, is the masterpiece YOU create.

It is your art piece.

It is your statement to the world.

An original.

If an outside source is constantly telling you what your painting or creation should look like, what it should represent and so forth, it is no longer your perfect creation … it is tainted by outside influence and it is not 100% authentic.

Embrace YOU

You are magic, walking around spinning off pieces here and there wherever you go, affecting the world around you.

It is powerful

And when pure, authentic character and personhood blooms, it is the rarest flower (or bush, or tree, whatever analogy the masculine might like to use) and no other is quite like it … like YOU.

I had no idea Character Evolution could be so fun.

We get to choose our persona every moment. Who will we be today? Are we grouchy, happy, sad. Do we seem to fluctuate readily and often between such emotional states?

Control Your Mind

Take command of your output.

Of course there will be times when we burst open and spew that which we are attempting to leave behind, it happens. The key is in recognizing it when it happens, and making the shift … choosing your reality, not letting emotion steer the ship. It’ll crash more often than not.

Grab the reigns, ride this wild life like no body’s business!

Becoming the best version of YOU possible, through sheer Will Power!

Now that’s Strength!

A Powerful Message

Our furry friends are not the only ones we ought to care for on this holiday, July 4th.

Blowing stuff up is not the highlight to life …

Contrary to popular belief.

When we show compassion to others, we will begin to see others are compassionate toward us.

Not before then.
