ARE YOU THERE? | CONVERSATIONS WITH MY SPIRIT GUIDES

Are you there?

Yes, we are here.

It’s that time again. Are you ready for another Q&A?

We are always ready for another Q&A. What is our first question?

Question #1: Is lying always a bad thing? A spiritual teacher once told me that lying in some circumstance is actually OK, but I’ve always had a hard time accepting that idea.

Answer #1: In a general sense, we would say that lying is really a question of degree and depends a great deal on the circumstance and your own personal judgement as to what is or is not appropriate in any given situation. If you take a close look at your own actions in life, you would be very surprised to learn just how much you lie every day, in small ways, to yourself and to others, without even realizing it. Sometimes those lies are undertaken for very good reasons – to protect others from pain, to make a difficult situation easier to bear, to protect your privacy. In these types of instances, it is up to you to make what you feel is the appropriate choice, if you can manage to do so without judging yourself too harshly. This is not to say that lying under oath or lying to deliberately hurt another is ever the best choice. But in the end, as with all the choices you make in life, the decision is completely up to you.

Question #2: How can we use our emotional guidance system more efficiently?

Answer #2: The process of using your emotions to gauge your alignment with Source energy is actually quite simple. Imagine for a moment that you are present and in-the-moment, doing or thinking whatever it is you are doing or thinking, and at the same time, you are monitoring the way you are feeling. At some point, you ask yourself, “Do I like the way I’m feeling right now or would I prefer to feel something different? Is what I’m feeling on the lower end of the emotional vibrational scale – do I feel sad or restless or uncomfortable in any way – or is the feeling one that is more joyful, or more peaceful, or more enthusiastic?” Depending on the answer, you can either choose to continue your focus on what you were doing or thinking, or you can make a change by adjusting your focus and your intention to one that brings you into closer alignment with Source energy. That’s it. That’s all there is to it.

Question #3: One of our readers asks: “What is this thing called the Vortex that I keep hearing about?”

Answer #3: According to our friends Esther Hicks and Abraham, the Vortex is simply another way of describing a state of complete and total alignment with Source energy. It is the place you have come from, the place that your higher self calls home. That is why, when you are in the Vortex, you feel good, and when you are not, you don’t. In terms of manifestation, the Vortex serves as a sort of etheric waiting room that contains all of the fruits of your desires until you find vibrational alignment with them. When your frequency is aligned and in sync with your desire, you will know it by the way that you feel. You will feel good. At that point, it is possible for whatever you desire to manifest from within the Vortex into the dense physical environment of the Earth plane, all in accordance with the Law of Attraction.

Question #4: You often remind us that no one can create within our experience unless we allow it. How do we know when we’re allowing someone to influence us in that way?

Answer #4: In the same way that you gauge all experience – by the way that you feel. If you are thinking about someone, giving your attention to what they are saying or doing, and you experience an emotional response, good or bad, then you are allowing yourself to be influenced by them. They are in your head, so to speak, which means that you are permitting their energy, their vibration, to enter your field. This is not to say that everyone with whom you come in contact will exert undue influence over your created experiences. It all depends on where you choose to place your attention and how open you are to their energy. If you find yourself responding in any way, either positively or negatively, to what someone else has said or done, and it does not align with what you desire, then you are always free to withdraw your attention and place it elsewhere.

Question #5: Is it possible to appreciate where we are and what we have in any given moment and at the same time desire something that feels even better moving forward?

Answer #5: Absolutely. In fact, we would say that in terms of creation, this is the ideal stance. Appreciation is always key to the creative process as it allows you to continue to manifest those experiences that currently bring you joy and pleasure. At the same time, your goal, your purpose on the physical plane, is one of growth and expansion, which means that you are always evolving, always looking for ways to enhance your present moment experience with even more of what makes you feel good. It is a challenge for any human person to appreciate “what is” while also eagerly anticipating “what is to come,” but from a higher perspective, there is no contradiction. It is all a part of the same unfolding journey.

Question #6: What is the best way to deal with disappointment when what you want does not show up, or if it does, it’s not in the form you were expecting?

Answer #6: One action you can take, especially if you are repeatedly disappointed, is to simply let go of the desire, remove your attention from it and re-focus elsewhere. If, however, you choose to remain committed to your desire, you will need to take a deeper look at what you are actually manifesting. The Universe always matches the vibration of what you are sending out, so if you are not getting what you want, there must be an underlying belief that is attracting an experience of disappointment. Did you unconsciously expect to be disappointed? Did you believe that you were undeserving? Are you truly committed to seeing your desire manifest? Take a close look at what might be blocking your desire and make what adjustments you can. Sometimes a simple realization is enough. Then, try again. Re-focus your attention and stay open to receiving what you desire.

I always enjoy our Q&A sessions. I look forward to many more.

As do we. Until next time.

Thank you all.
