How do you balance the world of the physical and the spiritual?

Posted anonymously: i’m referring to your sentence in a previous comment – ” I have just started working with
a being and look forward to what he has to teach me. ”
i’ve heard some recordings of the spiritualist medium – leslie flint
.. particularly of the indian thinker – rabindranath tagore ( the first asian to receive a nobel prize )
i’ve also attended a seance in bombay about two decades ago and the memories of it are fresh as ever in my mind
with time my belief ( for lack of a better word ) in the spirit world gets only strengthened
now , existing in the material world , like everybody else , taking the visible reality as ‘ be all and end all ‘ .. it’s not so easy to keep your balance in the ‘ two worlds ‘ that you inhabit ..
i mean there is a strong need to ‘ withdraw ‘ yourself from an active participation in the material world
i know it is different with each individual but with me this ‘ pretense ‘ out here , is not all that pleasant
i’d like to know how you feel about this
Great questions. Let me clarify a few things:
1. The being I was referring to is a Pegasus, not a person that was once incarnate. I don’t communicate with the earth bound dead because I believe that the should be guided to the light not held back in this earth.
2. I was not channeling the being, I was astral traveling. When you astral travel, you shift your consciousness actively. I do not invite them into my dimension of existence, instead I travel to them.
There are several ways to communicate with beings, whether they be elementals, dragons, angels and so forth. One way is to astral travel to their spiritual dimension. Another is to meditate through the physical dimensions. And still another way is to channel.
When you channel, you close your consciousness off in order to allow another to enter. This can be extremely dangerous unless you know what you are doing. A trained channeler has one contract they work on (one being they communicate with) and agrees on how and when contact will be made.
Both in meditation or astral traveling, you initiate the journey. In this way, you are always fully in control of what is happening. You should always make sure that your body, soul and spirit are protected at all time. There are several rituals that help facilitate this.
So as you can see, I choose who I am going to contact and when. If a being makes contact with me, i can choose whether or not to respond at that moment and they will respect my choice.
Does that bring clarity to your concern?
Posted anonymously: while you are on this physical plane , where all you have is the supposedly material world , do you not feel uncomfortable with the compulsion that you are faced with… ie you have to treat this physical world as a ‘ physical world ‘ knowing inside that it is not the case .. that you have to deal with relationships , money .. you have to plan your actions does it not come in conflict with the spiritually evolved mind ..
looking at your life buzzing with activity i’m only trying to figure out how you straddle the two worlds ..
I don’t see a conflict. Human existence is about being on this physical plane. What might seem mundane is really an opportunity for continued spiritual growth. We can build our relationships, acquire money and work in a way that elevates our vibration. Each person is one piece in a global quest to raise the consciousness and move on to the next dimension of existence. We each have to do our part to get us there, that is why it is so important to find your life purpose. God needs us to work here, in this plane.
For a long time, I couldn’t use the word god. I still struggle with whether or not to capitalize it. When I teach and speak, I usually say: God, or Source, or Light, or whatever else you want to call it.
I see us all standing in front of a mountain. We are all trying to reach the top, back to Source or Ain Sof or God or whatever feeling defines it for you. There are big, paved roads of organized religions. There are little trails of the lessor known, but still structured religions/thinkings. And there are shoe prints for the places in between. We can go either way, jumping from one to the other as needed. Ultimately, we are all going to get to the same place. What is most important, is that we are always moving forward.
