Subtle influence – a test of presence. If not my thought, Who goes there?

What a liberation to realize that the ‘voice in my head’ is not who I am. ‘Who am I, then?’ The one who sees that. – Eckhart Tolle

When other voices intrude? It’s a tad more complicated. I am sharing this experience because it is a perfect example of what might have slipped by without notice were it not for the presence of a corroborating witness.

In comparing notes, we were able to determine a common element that solidified the case.

Where did that thought originate?

[Andy and I] We pulled into the gas station after leaving the park with the dogs and the thought entered my mind: It would nice to keep the air conditioner running while the car is getting gas.

It was an odd thought because I knew better. At that point, thinking it was an internal argument with myself, I rejected the idea and concluded the conversation in my head with a firm objection and visuals. We can’t leave the car running while the gas is pumping. I see imagery. Fire hazard. Explosion.

Within seconds of clearing that mind chatter, Andy said, in a flat voice, similar to auto-pilot mode: “I’ll leave the car on so the AC will continue running for the dogs.”

Holy cow. This conversation is out loud. Did I pick it up from him? Something felt off about the statement. I quickly told him, “NO.”

Unfazed, he nodded and stepped out to pump the gas. The thing is – it was so out of character for him to say that – I was shocked and a bit perplexed. His love of classic cars and familiarity with vehicle maintenance and repair would previously have prevented that action even as a remote consideration: safety first.

Now the interesting part. I asked Andy why he wanted to leave the car running to pump gas. He said he thought I wanted to keep it on because it was hot. I asked if that was something he had ever done. No, it was a spontaneous thought in the moment.

I began to trace the thought origin and realized something else. The idea in my mind had been like a prompt, a suggestion. It wasn’t an action I entertained, believing that’s how people died. It wasn’t mine. The thought was subtle, more or less, like dropping a hint.

When I countered mentally with a visual of worst case scenario, it was over for me and I dropped the thread. I would never have remembered that moment if Andy had not cemented it with his statement.

We dissected the timing of our interaction and how the thoughts were presented. He said he picked up an impression that I wanted the car to remain running, indicating we had both heard the ‘suggestion’.

The vulnerability in this instance? Completely unexpected. Andy was relaxed, receptive and amiable. I was also relaxed, receptive. And now I question what else might have happened in that space. Location is a factor. Crowded gathering space next door. An open mind field to surf.

In conversation with my deceased Father – diagnosed with schizophrenia in his late 20’s and unable to to maintain any form of treatment thereafter – he told me he had no filter. He could not block the voices. He said the meds made him like a zombie. There was no middle ground. The voices could also engage an attack and cut through the meds. That made it worse.

Word. Those beings are real. He didn’t get the help he needed to develop a protective barrier.

My experience with this type of telepathic activity is ongoing. Decades ago, I learned to channel and to eventually attract the interest of a benevolent energy with the ability to demonstrate presence via bio-electric manifestations – blinking/flickering/flashing my nightlights. Spirit guides supplemented my education with frequency activation and OBE experiences.

They monitored my progress, elevated my PSI abilities and coached me on the need for discernment. I learned through experience. The core level one is expected to maintain in working with them is simple. Do no harm.

More in tune now with my PSI abilities, the chorus of helper voices [guides] I hear are positive and encouraging. Supportive with a sense of humor. However, some of the places I have visited are inhabited with entities and personalities who feed on chaos and emotional instability. They like to stir the pot. Being open psychically means there will be times these entities pay a visit.

We engage that with which we resonate. Sometimes it is necessary to engage a lower frequency being or request assistance from a higher frequency being to help another. Raise your vibration if the contrarians are visiting too often.

Contrary entities are belligerent, combative, intending to create discord and animosity: fire. They feed on anger, hate, rage, fear, and insecurity. Some may have had a physical form. Others are non-physical and exist as thought forms. They can cause harm – using suggestion – intensifying whatever emotion they surf. They can be malevolent and destructive. I avoid them when I can.

Bottom-line. As global heat and tempers rise in unison, it will be very helpful to question the origin of negative thoughts and/or thoughts that perpetrate self harm. Know your mind.

My experience at the gas station is a refresh on just how easy it is for these intelligences to surf undetected in the current environment and how difficult it can be to explain the presence of such an influence to those who have not yet managed to raise their level of consciousness and gain awareness about the unseen others co-existing in our space.

Synchronistic Alignment

If you are interested in expanding your awareness in regard to these types of encounters and interactions, I can suggest two resources.

Grant Cameron interviews a wonderful teacher who addresses the topic of conscious awareness. Kathleen B. Covalt, Ed.D. Having just discovered the video today, while working on this blog post I started last night, and without viewing the entire presentation, my validation for recommending her? It clicked when I saw the chicken on her website: Link

There are no chickens in our neighborhood. Returning home from our walk last night, we heard a rooster crow. Curious if I misheard, I asked Andy – yes, he heard it too. So simple and so convenient. Enjoy – The Rainbow Body Mystery.

My guides present as orange orbs.

Another resource mentioned in the interview, The Kybalion. Originally published in 1908 by “Three Initiates” – purports to convey the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. Affiliate Link, Amazon. Or Read now.

The Hermetic Philosophy. The 7 Hermetic Principles & How To Use Them To Improve Your Life, Link.

What is the first law of Hermeticism? The principle of mentalism.

The first of the 7 Hermetic Principles asserts that all is mind; the universe is mental. For anything to exist, a thought had to first exist, which then formed a physical reality or manifestation.

“The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of Understanding.” – The Kybalion.

Consciousness is a giant bowl of Soup

Who is tapping on my door? Who is talking in my head? I experience influence from others unseen – bobbing, bumping, waving to-and-fro, tagging me, inadvertent and/or intentional. I have learned to develop focus and clarity with meditation. Effort is required to address and eliminate discordant interlopers and maintain connection to what I can best describe as divine presence, a higher power.

Emotions are the wild card, and the ultimate test.

Forward we go. Time speeds up. Thoughts flow. Ideas surface. Actions follow. Counter balance. Pause. Slow down. Relax. Refresh. Reset. Breathe. Make time to reflect and engage fully, in awareness.

To evolve beyond the current mindset/construct, I shift to an expanded view and sit in the knowing that all are one in creation, charged to impress a uniquely singular expression. Dragons, Mice, Hobbits and Giants. Configurations galore. Designed to thrive, each and every one – in magnificent essence. Lit from within.

It is thought and feeling which guides the universe, not deeds. – Edgar Cayce
