How are you progressing?

[Spaced]

As this is a community of seekers walking the path of light I thought it might be useful for us to have a place in which to share what we find on our respective journeys. Keeping in mind that each of us walks a unique route, I feel some of us may pass the same milestones on our way back to the infinite source. This will also give us an opportunity to act as mirrors for our other-selves and provide insight possible only from an alternate perspective.

I had a most interesting experience in my inner seeking recently that I wanted to share.

I was in a deep meditative state the other night and I decided to focus my energy on opening my throat and pineal chakras. I focused all my attention on my pineal gland and I could feel a pressure building in the middle of my forehead that I sometimes feel before indigo ray activation . . . and then all of the sudden I felt my head being severed. I saw/felt my head fall into a river or canal and then I saw it get washed down a drain or waterfall where I couldn't follow. At this point I just felt like a floating point of awareness totally devoid of thought . . . until I heard a voice . . . coming from my body . . . it was my heart . My heart started talking to me, gently chiding me for ignoring his advice much of the time, letting me know that he's happy about the path I chose to take with this life . . . and slowly as he was talking to me my head came back and I started being able to "think" again . . . and so I started talking with my heart, had a nice little conversation .

I tend to have an overactive 3rd eye, so I focus more on my heart. I don't really meditate much, but I think I will start getting more into that. I want to achieve balance. I'd say I'm about 8/10 satisfied with how I'm progressing.

I've realized I don't hate myself. That's...kind of massive.

Yeah, that was a pretty massive step for me as well . . . sometimes I relapse into that state of mind but my friends and family usually help balance me out

I don't really look at it in terms of progression. I'm a different person than I was 10 yrs ago...but then so is everyone on the planet. We're all the sum of our experiences and choices to date. But I can't really define a starting point...so saying "I've progressed"..seems pointless to me.

I try to live as much in the now as I can. But, being human, you just can't help pondering and planning for the future. Even if your plans will likely go awry no matter what you do.

So, rather than saying this is how much I've progressed. I guess I'll just say I'm a better person than I used to be.

The healer Barbara Ann Brennan described self-hatred as the biggest untreated pandemic in medical history. It's in all of us, and it is a heck of a milestone to seriously weaken or eradicate it.

I would've posted it here had I known this thread was a good place for it, but my thread Spiritual Apathy covers how I've felt lately. http://bring4th.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=5411

I realized that i've spent much of the past in hating myself/not believeing in my own abilities in the last. Thats almost as good
