You are a spiritual warrior

You are a spiritual warrior

Yes, I am. You are correct. We all are in our own way, on our own level, it is just usual not to know it.

But to become a great warrior, someone for whom the vast majority of time acts in a warrior-like way, that's not straightforward. To complete that journey requires long periods where even the concept of being a warrior will not exist. Life will test us and overwhelm us, so that it seems like that's the only way life will ever be lived.

But I tell you that is not true. No matter how your life has been, it can be different through a shift in consciousness. So that what wasn't there before becomes there now. And that's the point.

We cannot experience what we are not already the vibration of FIRST.

So you make assumptions that there is no other way to be because you are not aware there is another way to be. Yet when you look back over your life, you can see how much has changed through the experiences you've had. No need to assume that's not still happening.

So, when I hear you say… “I can't do that because I haven't done this. Or, I've made mistakes and got those things wrong.” I know it doesn't matter.

That is a thought you have thought so many times that you not only believe it, and by definition that means nothing else can be true, but you will actively resist the idea it can be anything else because you don't know that it's a belief, and so you don't know you don’t have to believe it.

You don’t yet ‘believe’ you can change it in the same way that you acquired it in the first place. Beliefs are cunning like that.

You must do something, but you don't have to do it in one day. It takes a little time, but we have time; what else are we if not experiencers of time? Just because you might be an infinite and eternal being doesn't help you deal with day-to-day life, not if you are feeling like you can't do things, want to run away or can't cope.

You can cope, and not only can you cope, but you can rise above your current state just by changing how you think about the past.

Changing how you think takes a bit of practice. You create patterns when you think those old ways, and so it's easy to keep going down those patterns simply because they already exist.

So it takes a certain practice to change the way you think. Just like there was a time when you couldn’t walk and kept falling down, and every time you tried, it seemed like it would be impossible to achieve it, and yet you did.

It simply requires watching for those old thoughts and not thinking them anymore. From now...

Don't decide you can't. Don't put that belief in front of you, and then other beliefs on top of that so it feels like it can't be done. Everything you place in your way is doing the job you create it to do.

The warrior’s path is about knowing what beliefs you have. How you define things that you have taken for granted, that if you stopped to look at, you would see doesn't actually make sense.

And as you are the one defining it, you are the one who can change the definition. And if you change the definition, you believe something else, and in time, everything changes to reflect that. You are a spiritual warrior too.

Yes, I am. You are correct. We all are in our own way, on our own level, it is just usual not to know it.....Your post snipped so my reply can fit on the page, hope that's ok...... You are a spiritual warrior too.

Doing this on MacBook so there won't be any random capitals etc, quicker too, iPad and pencil good for bed. (I feel a bit sorry for my iPad and pencil now, mustn't make them feel left out, might seem silly, Aspie thing feeling sorry for objects.

Yes, I am. You are correct. We all are in our own way, on our own level, it is just usual not to know it.

I think in black and white, erroneously. If you don't have the "emotional equipment" (meditative ability to cultivate stillness) you have had it, but then people who are not spiritual can stand up for themselves and be a match for little hitlers.

But to become a great warrior, someone for whom the vast majority of time acts in a warrior-like way, that's not straightforward. To complete that journey requires long periods where even the concept of being a warrior will not exist. Life will test us and overwhelm us, so that it seems like that's the only way life will ever be lived.

These types are a minority and special. Yes, the trials and tribulations can put many off, lose heart and faith in ourselves, a warrior expects these and endures and perseveres.

But I tell you that is not true. No matter how your life has been, it can be different through a shift in consciousness. So that what wasn't there before becomes there now. And that's the point.

How can a beginner late in life achieve this shift in consciousness, it would be a real gift? Should cultivation ideally start in childhood?

We cannot experience what we are not already the vibration of FIRST.

I don't know what "vibration of first" is, so I googled it but it came up with a load of scientific stuff.
What does it mean?

So you make assumptions that there is no other way to be because you are not aware there is another way to be. Yet when you look back over your life, you can see how much has changed through the experiences you've had. No need to assume that's not still happening.

I've made assumptions that there is no other way to be, apart from when I was on man made psychedelics, but that is spiritual bypassing isn't it?
I am only just realising the patterns of dysfunctional repetition in my life at this late stage when I am mired in dangerous drug addiction. I have to hope there is a way for me to achieve what I was put on this earth for, sometimes it feels like wishful thinking for me, given all of the events I have created in my life.

So, when I hear you say… “I can't do that because I haven't done this. Or, I've made mistakes and got those things wrong.” I know it doesn't matter.

Thanks, this is something I can hold on to, I just hope I can deal with my "negative voice" saying "Realistically GTH, it's too late for you, you have blown too many chances"

That is a thought you have thought so many times that you not only believe it, and by definition that means nothing else can be true, but you will actively resist the idea it can be anything else because you don't know that it's a belief, and so you don't know you don’t have to believe it.

If I have understood the above paragraph right, I am believing my "negative voice" telling me I am too late and I am being unrealistic.

You don’t yet ‘believe’ you can change it in the same way that you acquired it in the first place. Beliefs are cunning like that.

I hope my negative voice is lying and being cunning. It even says "You might have blown it in this lifetime but there are other lifetimes, but you know you have to pay lots of karmic debt for your errors"

You must do something, but you don't have to do it in one day. It takes a little time, but we have time; what else are we if not experiencers of time? Just because you might be an infinite and eternal being doesn't help you deal with day-to-day life, not if you are feeling like you can't do things, want to run away or can't cope.

I agree, Is there time for a late middle ager to achieve this? A late middle ager on a drug they are advised to wean off really slowly, to avoid CNS injury, bearing in mind that drugs tear holes in our electromagnetic auric field, allowing evil spirits in?

You can cope, and not only can you cope, but you can rise above your current state just by changing how you think about the past.

I need to learn how to forgive people who have badly wronged me in the past. I have allowed their wrongdoings to influence bad choices I made causing further day-to-day problems.

Changing how you think takes a bit of practice. You create patterns when you think those old ways, and so it's easy to keep going down those patterns simply because they already exist.

I try to stop myself thinking resentful thoughts, I get stuck with the feelings behind the resentful thoughts, like I can block them out of my intellect, but don't know how to dissolve them in my heart.

So it takes a certain practice to change the way you think. Just like there was a time when you couldn’t walk and kept falling down, and every time you tried, it seemed like it would be impossible to achieve it, and yet you did.

It's ironic you mentioned "when you couldn’t walk and kept falling down" somewhere on here I may have mentioned being a late walker, but an early reader and My Dad criticising my walking as a tot, yet not encouraging my reading and me giving it up.
It's not just the drugs, I need to see a light at the end of the tunnel I am in, without believing my thinking is unrealistic.

It simply requires watching for those old thoughts and not thinking them anymore. From now...

Don't decide you can't. Don't put that belief in front of you, and then other beliefs on top of that so it feels like it can't be done. Everything you place in your way is doing the job you create it to do.

I am intelligent, however by not developing my talents, or even realising I had them, my negative voice says I have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, not in the Christian sense, more in the Aquarian Gospel sense, by Levi Dowling.
“If you sin against a son of man, you may be pardoned and your guilt be cleansed by acts of kindness and of love; but if you sin against the Holy Breath [Pneuma–Spirit] by disregarding her when she would open up the doors of life for you; by closing up the windows of the soul when she would pour the light of love into your hearts, and cleanse them with the fires of God; your guilt shall not be blotted out in this, nor in the life to come.
“An opportunity has gone to come no more, and you must wait until the ages roll again. Then will the Holy Breath again breathe on your fires of life, and fan them to a living flame. Then she will open up the doors again, and you may let her in to sup with you for evermore, or you may slight her once again, and then again” (105:32-38)."

"Sometimes the call from On High comes several times and is rejected, but mostly it comes only once and then the sentence is sealed. Please understand that this unhappy fate is not decreed by God/the Holy Spirit, but is the simple principle of karma. The magnitude of a situation determines the magnitude of the karma. And when the Holy Spirit Mother is involved, it is tremendous, indeed."

This is what my negative voice says to me, because of the errors I have made in my life.
I consulted ocoy.org a Hindu Christian site, it is written by Swami Nirmalananda Giri (Abbot George Burke) The purple is Levi Dowling's Aquarian Gospel.

The warrior’s path is about knowing what beliefs you have. How you define things that you have taken for granted, that if you stopped to look at, you would see doesn't actually make sense.

I definitely know my beliefs, I now need to figure out a realistically higher vibrational way of dealing with them.

And as you are the one defining it, you are the one who can change the definition. And if you change the definition, you believe something else, and in time, everything changes to reflect that. You are a spiritual warrior too.

I am in the driving seat and I really hope I do have the time, in this lifetime, to be an asset to the world and humanity.
I put my negative beliefs in, hoping to tackle them or get help tackling them, this post is really well written, may this thread keep it's high vibrations despite me sharing part of what is dogging me.
Thank you for posting.

How can a beginner late in life achieve this shift in consciousness, it would be a real gift? Should cultivation ideally start in childhood?

It would be better if it were started in childhood, but all is not lost if it wasn't.

I don't know what "vibration of first" is, so I googled it but it came up with a load of scientific stuff.
What does it mean?

Einstein once said we cannot solve a problem with the same state of consciousness that created it. Meaning...that we can only see the solution when we are in a state where that solution can exist for us. It was always there but until we see it it is as if it did not exist.

I've made assumptions that there is no other way to be, apart from when I was on man made psychedelics, but that is spiritual bypassing isn't it?

The experience of the psychedelic is as valid as any other experience.

I have to hope there is a way for me to achieve what I was put on this earth for, sometimes it feels like wishful thinking for me, given all of the events I have created in my life.

Hope is ok. Hope is optimistic. But it also believes it might not, or perhaps it won't, but it would like to. Beliefs are subtle.

I just hope I can deal with my "negative voice" saying "Realistically GTH, it's too late for you, you have blown too many chances"

You can deal with it if you believe you can. The 'negative voice' is you.

If I have understood the above paragraph right, I am believing my "negative voice" telling me I am too late and I am being unrealistic.

Exactly. First stage of changing beliefs is to recognise that they are beliefs.

I hope my negative voice is lying and being cunning. It even says "You might have blown it in this lifetime but there are other lifetimes, but you know you have to pay lots of karmic debt for your errors"

That is still you. That is also a belief.

Is there time for a late middle ager to achieve this?

Absolutely

I need to learn how to forgive people who have badly wronged me in the past. I have allowed their wrongdoings to influence bad choices I made causing further day-to-day problems.

Not learn, as that is the same as saying you'll try. There is no try, there is doing or not doing. Forgiving or not forgiving.

I try to stop myself thinking resentful thoughts, I get stuck with the feelings behind the resentful thoughts, like I can block them out of my intellect, but don't know how to dissolve them in my heart.

Because you have thought those thoughts a lot. Don't try to stop thinking those thoughts, STOP thinking those thoughts. You may fail a few times at first, but persevere, you will stop thinking them.

I need to see a light at the end of the tunnel I am in, without believing my thinking is unrealistic.

Then don't believe your thinking is unrealistic. Or better yet, as it is better to focus on what you can do then on what you don't want to, imagine yourself achieving what you want.

I definitely know my beliefs, I now need to figure out a realistically higher vibrational way of dealing with them.

I'm not sure you do. The obvious ones, perhaps, but the subtle ones lurk in the shadows. They don't like to be seen. You have to shine your light on them. You have to really look.

I am in the driving seat and I really hope I do have the time, in this lifetime, to be an asset to the world and humanity.

Thank you for posting.

Thank you for revealing yourself with your answers. You are tackling them just by shining a light on them. And the thing about shining a light on negative beliefs, they either have to change and support you or disappear forever. It's only a question of time.

 

[Gift2humanity]

It would be better if it were started in childhood, but all is not lost if it wasn't.

Thank you that is the best I can hope for.

Einstein once said we cannot solve a problem with the same state of consciousness that created it. Meaning...that we can only see the solution when we are in a state where that solution can exist for us. It was always there but until we see it it is as if it did not exist.

Einstein makes sense. I would love to find how to get in a state where the solution exists for me. New worries from my unconscious that relate to my current problems come to me during the night. I get to sleep ok due to the drugs I am on but I wake up roughly 3 hours later and then fall into a sleep where my dreams are worse.

The experience of the psychedelic is as valid as any other experience.

I believe ceremonial formal use of psychedelic plant medicine is very valid but I used *****man made drug recreationally.

Hope is ok. Hope is optimistic. But it also believes it might not, or perhaps it won't, but it would like to. Beliefs are subtle.

Can you elaborate on the subtle beliefs bit please.

You can deal with it if you believe you can. The 'negative voice' is you.

I wish I could get that belief. Where does being realistic fit in? It's the "being realistic" bit that hurts.

Exactly. First stage of changing beliefs is to recognise that they are beliefs.

Thank you, I hope I can change them quick as I fear my mental health failing, sleeping is getting worse.

That is still you. That is also a belief.

Yes I agree.

Absolutely

Thank you.

Not learn, as that is the same as saying you'll try. There is no try, there is doing or not doing. Forgiving or not forgiving.

Sorry, not sure what you mean here, my goal is to forgive them, how do I get rid of the bitterness in my heart?

Because you have thought those thoughts a lot. Don't try to stop thinking those thoughts, STOP thinking those thoughts. You may fail a few times at first, but persevere, you will stop thinking them.

Thank you, how can I STOP them without repressing them into my subconscious where they will fester.

Then don't believe your thinking is unrealistic. Or better yet, as it is better to focus on what you can do then on what you don't want to, imagine yourself achieving what you want.

This is the problem. I have a situation I don't want to go into on here that is a problem, others relevant people know it is. My mental state is so bad I don't know what order to make decisions in. What I want, in my right/wrong belief feels like an unrealistic goal.

I'm not sure you do. The obvious ones, perhaps, but the subtle ones lurk in the shadows. They don't like to be seen. You have to shine your light on them. You have to really look.

Do you mean the high vibrational beliefs lurk in the shadows?

Thank you for revealing yourself with your answers. You are tackling them just by shining a light on them. And the thing about shining a light on negative beliefs, they either have to change and support you or disappear forever. It's only a question of time.

Sorry I am vague with them. The beliefs are related to tangible problems, which I fear could lead me back into the care of a toxic family, helpless, sorry again to be vague.

Can I ask you, is it ok to have a conversation out loud with God about my fears, I need to let them out but am confused that I may not be praying correctly, I know he does not recognise negative words. I need to pray to him to maintain my independence, however with the material problems I have I currently don't know if this is possible.

Thank you

 

[Gift2humanity]

I'm tearing up. I'm in the process of telling God what I want.

 

[SimonSays]

Can I ask you, is it ok to have a conversation out loud with God about my fears, I need to let them out but am confused that I may not be praying correctly,

Of course. As loud as you like. Speak from the heart and you are praying correctly.

 

[Gift2humanity]

Of course. As loud as you like. Speak from the heart and you are praying correctly.

Thank you, I am crying as I write this.

 

[SimonSays]

Can you elaborate on the subtle beliefs bit please.

Beliefs hide just out of reach. Under other beliefs. In the dark. Some can appear heavy because they never have the light shone on them. All beliefs lose their hold on you once you bring them into the light. You can find a belief, and it becomes clear that it doesn't help you, and you let go of it, only to discover it had been covering something deeper, which you can now get to.

To find these subtle beliefs you have to ask yourself a question:

What would I have to believe is true about myself or situation to feel the way I do?

If the answer is something negative for you, then you have found a belief that is taking your energy. You can then either replace it with something positive, or let go of it because you no longer have to believe it is true for you.

Thank you, I don't fully understand this as my problems are real and tangible so is it ok to have a think about it and ask any questions that come up later?

 

[SimonSays]

I don't fully understand this as my problems are real and tangible

Maybe you misunderstand what belief is. It is not something you are imagining about your situation, it is something you are defining about it based on how you think and see.

The things we experience are intrinsically neutral. It is we who decide good or bad, positive or negative, by how we define it through our beliefs.

 

[SimonSays]

I don't fully understand this as my problems are real and tangibl

You are right. My answer is really a general kind of answer, maybe even philosophical, which I tend to do. It doesn't help when you are asking about something real and personal, especially something as complicated as yours is.

You need practical solutions, help and support, and that would be found from case workers, mental health pros, family (if you have them) and friends, same. It can't really be found on a forum, which is why my answer is not a good one for you.

Oh no! Does this mean that it would be pointless for me to "think positive" to attract solutions?

 

[SimonSays]

But it is an answer that comes out of the shamanic process, and if i have been going into the altered state a bit much, it can start to seem as if i am that which i speak about, when I am not, not yet at least anyway. it is me, but a future me if anything. I have access to it and it is my intention to use it to help someone understand, but it is removed, detached, intellectual, philosophical, but lacks compassion, can't feel it, for to feel it activates the heart which the shamanic state doesn't use.

I am sorry you are struggling, and as you have revealed some of your situation, merely 'telling you' what to do or how to think, or offering it as a suggestion, when sometimes there are no amount of words that can make someone shift. As Abraham Hicks says...words do not teach.

 

[SimonSays]

Oh no! Does this mean that it would be pointless for me to "think positive" to attract solutions?

It is never pointless to think positive while you deal with what you can do regarding solutions.

This reply came straight after the short post I made above.
Abraham and Esther Hicks are scammers.
Who is the "someone" you speak of when you say "no amount of words that can make someone shift"
Also am I beyond the stage of positive thinking because of the fact that my problems are tangible yet no one is helping?

 

[SimonSays]

Oh no! Does this mean that it would be pointless for me to "think positive" to attract solutions?

I want to point out how personally you take what is said here. I can feel how much you will do anything to find a way out of your situation, and the more you try the more intense you get. I know my brain starts to shut down when someone attempts to reveal the details as you do.

My words are words for a forum. When I say 'someone' it refers to whomever can relate to it. You can see it as me speaking to you, and I am, but I'm also speaking to anyone who reads this. They might add their own experience as a result. But this is very personal for you. It's not easy to speak here and there. Things you can say. Things you can't say. This here, that there. Does this make sense?

When I first came here you told me how helping me helped you by taking your mind off things. And it did. And you did.

Have you heard the story when someone is drowning and a hand reaches out to save them, they sometimes pull the other one in so desperate are they to be saved. They could both drown.

I feel how desperate you are. Your fear stops you from doing anything to end things, but you might if it didn't. I don't know what you will say to this. Sometimes I don't think I can reach you. My words only crate more questions. They will never be enough to relieve. That's why you take the medication.

I saw a homeless person on a bench earlier. Sitting by all the shoppers. Coins in a hat. Constantly breathing in butane lighter fuel. It's cheap, and it gives him what he is looking for...escape. It's not real escapee's, but it helps, and it must be hard to live like that. He needs help not judgment. So do you.

 

[Gift2humanity]

I agree.

I can feel how much you will do anything to find a way out of your situation, and the more you try the more intense you get. I know my brain starts to shut down when someone attempts to reveal the details as you do.

Sometimes I do not know how to interpret things. You have been really kind. I am not criticising you, why does your brain start to shut down when someone reveals details as I do?
(I ask as I do not know how to interpret what you meant)

My words are words for a forum. When I say 'someone' it refers to whomever can relate to it. You can see it as me speaking to you, and I am, but I'm also speaking to anyone who reads this. They might add their own experience as a result. But this is very personal for you. It's not easy to speak here and there. Things you can say. Things you can't say. This here, that there. Does this make sense?

Are you saying this would be better spoken about somewhere other than a forum?

When I first came here you told me how helping me helped you by taking your mind off things. And it did. And you did.

Yes, I felt great that I helped you and hope I can in future.

Have you heard the story when someone is drowning and a hand reaches out to save them, they sometimes pull the other one in so desperate are they to be saved. They could both drown.

Yes, when I read your first line I thought of the Jordan Peterson video where he says that a helper can be dragged down by another persons problems, and the helper has to let go, lest they be dragged down, I wonder if Jordan Peterson meant the person with the problems is a lost cause.

I feel how desperate you are. Your fear stops you from doing anything to end things, but you might if it didn't. I don't know what you will say to this. Sometimes I don't think I can reach you. My words only crate more questions. They will never be enough to relieve. That's why you take the medication.

I have tried for years to speak to various people and got nowhere. As you say its difficult on a forum to do into detail. I don't want to be on the medication for life, I was put here for spiritual reasons, however my life has turned out the polar opposite of what I was meant to be doing.

I saw a homeless person on a bench earlier. Sitting by all the shoppers. Coins in a hat. Constantly breathing in butane lighter fuel. It's cheap, and it gives him what he is looking for...escape. It's not real escapee's, but it helps, and it must be hard to live like that. He needs help not judgment. So do you.

I would hate to be in that butane sniffer homeless person's shoes. Homeless people are not getting helped in this day and age. They are not even given shelter during lockdown. The government has made empty promises, there are still lots of them around, some on that zombie drug spice.

 

[SimonSays]

The world is far from working well, many people are suffering, each in their own way. I can't imagine being in another's shoes. It can be difficult being in my own.

I was put here for spiritual reasons, however my life has turned out the polar opposite of what I was meant to be doing.

That is a powerful belief. Now, the first part is something positive, because if it is true, it means you are capable of living a spiritual life. The second part is the kicker. The negative component that not only covers the first part but makes it impossible to do anything with it. You say it as if it is true. And so it is true. Bu only because you say it is.
I think you are acting in a spiritual way. You are doing EXACTLY what the first part of your sentence says you are, but the second negative part stops you from seeing that so something is always missing.

This and others like it are why it doesn't change. Do you see this?

So whenever I read you say something with that intense negative belief attached to it, you are punishing yourself by keeping yourself as the negative person when you are most definitely the spiritual one and always were.

 

[SimonSays]

And for some reason i really notice that frequency in your words. I notice the bit you have decided you must always say and in the same way which is a belief you are simply unaware of.

So I will show it to you because I see it, and because you need to know as it will help.
And when I see another I will tell you.
We can't change what we can't see.
Once you see, then it can change.

 

[SimonSays]

Yes, when I read your first line I thought of the Jordan Peterson video where he says that a helper can be dragged down by another persons problems, and the helper has to let go, lest they be dragged down, I wonder if Jordan Peterson meant the person with the problems is a lost cause.

I don't think so. They are just desperate they can't help impose their need to be saved and cannot help pulling the helper down because what else can they do but take whatever is offered and more? It would need someone who has plenty of support, so they are protected from being pulled down. Or someone who knows how to distance themselves, and who is distanced by the buffer of the space that communicating like this brings.

As you know, when it seems too much for me, when I feel that overload occurring, I have to shut down, switch off, and can. I know when it is time to stop thinking about it, or saying things that are missing the mark. If the connection is a good one then the right words come out. The right replies come from them. And we get somewhere.
