Don't ask ..

[Plenum]

My Grandmother always said, don't ask a question if you are not prepared for an answer. I fear this is advice I have taken too seriously all my life. I pretty much make sure I stack the deck before I ask questions

Now that I have been in touch with what I think is my future self for 6 months or so I think the habit is seriously hampering communication.
What I suspect is that when I try to ask for understanding I hold enough fear of the answer in my heart that the question doesn't get through. When my mind drifts a bit and I sort of make 'statements' I get quick clear response, but when I try to phrase and hold a question ..nothing. This net result is almost random 'communication'.

What I am looking for here is any advice on clearing the mind enough to actually get requests past my silly fears.

thanks for being so honest here Chett.

and I really like your grandma's wisdom. "Don't ask if you aren't prepared to hear the truthful answer".

I find that the sincerity of the seeking makes a big difference in contacting guides/the angelic self. Quite often it is useful to absolutely exhaust the real world sources of information before turning to the spirit world. If you can fix the problem on your own, then it is probably faster and wiser than seeking cousel from beyond.

it also accords them a greater respect in that you are taking care of your own business as best you can, and then turning to them for those really tough questions that you can't solve yourself. That creates the 'seeking' or 'energetic difference' that can then release the answer to you straight away when requested.

after all, we don't really gain wisdom if someone just gives us the answer when we ask is it?
