I don't know whether some of the 'older' (been here longest) members will recall, but there has been a 'shift' in a situation I spoke about maybe a year ago.
Basically, what I had somehow become involved with (goodness knows why) was my habit of saying a prayer for God to Bless family members, friends etc...most of whom are now deceased.
I remember explaining that as I spoke of each person, I could visualize them in my mind's eye, but more importantly could converse with them.
The rationale behind that (as I could see it) was the fact that I was communication with their spirits/souls. I remember mentioning it here once, and asked for people's views; the validating factor (to me) was that often 'people' would give me an answer I did'nt expect from them. Another validation was that whenever I asked a 'no-no' question (about the hereafter, or maybe even God him/itself, I would get a "You ain't catching me out look from whoever I asked the question to).
I particularly remember master Vigil's thoughts which were something along the lines of "You are most likely communicating with your higher selves".
That one shook me; from that moment on, for a few weeks, I felt no "pleasure" in greeting those for whom I asked God for a blessing. Somehow, Master V's suggestion (made in all good faith) - there is no doubt about that - actually seemed to 'ruin' the spiritual even for me. It took quite some weeks for me to regain the feeling of confidence that I was actually talking to Souls. That should have been the end of the matter; back to square one, and happy again. Not quite.
I am happy, but something (somewhere - maybe a little 'inner voice') was telling me that this was something I ought not to be doing. A blessing for the person was fine, but 'talking with them' was not 'cosher' (excuse me for borrowing that term).
I now ask God to Bless, but I make no attempt to even try to converse with the individuals (even though I believe I have the ability) - just as, even though I have the ability and have had personal acceptable proof - please don't 'tut' Jay....... that I can use Numbers and palmistry to forecast emerging trends in different people's behaviour..which leads to the possibly of giving advice (ie through a process of an educated guestimate), it is possible to forecast events - on a basis of what is happening now. The future is always able to be changed by our own choices, at any one time.
Really, I suppose what this comes to is a subconscious maybe spiritual feeling that what I had been doing wasn't what God would want me to do.
Has anyone ever felt that? is there anyone who can empathise? - and lastly, to the 'proper' Christians (Catholics, Orthodox, LDS, Judaic and all the other 'Brands') members, do you believe that I have in fact been told to desist from what I was doing?
