Closed: Reconnective Healing (My Practice Journal) (1 Viewer)

[Sinera]

Introduction

This is my Journal about my Energy Healing Practice. It will start soon, or at least in 2018 which is a personal 'shift year' for me.

Although a recent deal in my hometown with a possible landlord failed I am still very optimistic. That's also why I start this thread. As the saying goes:

Now more than ever!

And the good news from today is: I already have set sights on another practice room in a far more beautiful city nearby. It's a spa town actually! A great environment for healing! I was shown by 'the universe' or the Higher Self that this would be the best city to practice in. It was 1) a dream I had 2-3 years ago and 2) a recent complex divination with several rounds ... by toin coss (seriously!) which I did among several city choices.

So finally I'm listening.

I also will offer relaxation training for my clients in the form of the good old traditional 'Autogenic Training' and might do an informative thread about that one soon, too - but not another journal.

I am also a state-certified naturopath and a trained homeopath - the 'classical' way that is over 200 years old and based on the great Dr. Hahnemann. I will not use it in the beginning and solely focus on the energy practice though.

Like this first one, every post is planned to have a certain focus or topic indicated by a header in green bold font.

My chosen method is Reconnective Healing. Therefore my next entry will be called 'What Is Reconnective Healing' as the second post of mine after this introduction. It will be a short explanation of what it is and how it is done and what it does to clients - or the healer.

The third journal entry is planned to talk about 'My Activation'. I was 'activated' as a healer in 2010. Or better: My hands were. The activation was not taking place solely from this dimension / plane. Sounds strange or cool, or both - I know, but it's true. I think I already mentioned it elsewhere here on the forum but I will give some more details about how it happened then.

Some further topics, not yet in a set running order, will or might be the following:

One post might be about my synchronicities with '333(3)' and yet another one about my first 'Test Clients' including a 'real' patient from outside and some that were seminar colleagues. I did healing work on them on the table during the 4-day RH seminar with already quite interesting results. Another one will be about 'Registers' which are signs to recognise that / how the energy is working during the table session. I will certainly also make a few 'Symptoms' posts based on what clients experience. This can be a wide range of impressions (visions or visuals, smells, tactile impressions, hearing sounds / voices, feeling / emotions, insights, trance, projections, telekinetic events in the room, meeting Angels, etc.). A post about 'My Own RH Sessions' (as a client) will describe what I experienced on the table. Another post is called 'Chosen By Eric Peal', well ... yeah I know that sounds pretty presumptuous, doesn't it? I know, but again: the story is a true account of what really happened. Another one will be called 'The Reminder' and has to do with a non-physical helper of mine I repeatedly met in etheric or astral projections. It's of course related to my Healer path, otherwise I would not do this episode (Btw, over the years I had countless helper meetings in the astral, some of these guys came repeatedly, some only a few times or once. I have about 10 helpers with different areas of expertise around me, specialists if you will, at least that's what I was told once by one of them.).

I'm sure more topics will come along the way. So these posts I'll do from time to time will also serve to bridge the time until I 'really' can start my RH practice. At last.

All future client session reports will then of course always be anonymous and only mention specific aspects of the session or healing process or whatever I want to talk about in this (re)connection. That is why I will also try to give them a specific header / topic then. (Not for each single client of course, posts should be topic-related and not person-related).

Although it is a Journal (a 'quasi-Blog') I do not lock it, so comments, questions etc. are allowed and welcome. But let's not get too offtopic please.


This is it for now. More to come. Stay tuned.

What a fabulous start. The energy is definitely flowing in that direction.

 

[Sinera]

Nice one from the first post:

Sinera, Monday at 8:33 PM

Okay, 9:33 would have been even better. But I'm not always perfect.

 

[Snowmelt]

Sinera, that shows as 3:33am on my screen.

Sinera, that shows as 3:33am on my screen.

Haha, cool. I love the time world-wide differences. Good that we all hail from so many different spots on this beautiful blue marble named Gaia.

 

[Snowmelt]

One post might be about my synchronicities with '333(3)'

You mentioned your affinity with 3:33 at the outset, and here it is. Alignment.

What Is Reconnective Healing (For Me)?

I'll make this one short. I use my own words here but also provide a link and a quote from the 'official' sources.

Here I also only refer to attending the on-table session with client and practitioner meeting face-to-face in the practice instead of performing a distance healing session. This I do not offer despite the fact that it is also taught by the training teams during the seminars. As a certified naturopath in my country I would not even be allowed to do distance healing by regulation, but I would not want it anyway, so that's okay. In my job I want face-to-face sessions and really be 'seeing' the client, also for watching their 'registers' and reaction(s), which will be another post then later on. I do not focus on 'The Reconnection' (an 'upgrade' from the normal Reconnective Healing) either, since I do not offer to clients.

Reconnective Healing is a normal mind/energy healing modality that uses the hands-off method. This is unlike Reiki that (mostly) uses hands-on healing. I know it first-hand since I also visited a Reiki healer years ago. But there are other modalities that also use 'auric' methods, e.g Pranic Healing, Johrei or any of the several Auric Surgery modalities.

During a session the client is lying on the table for about 25 minutes. You manipulate energy fields performing hand movements and feeling into their frequencies within the person's aura. While you do this you are also - or even mostly - an antenna for the universal (Source) energy that works for the client and helps him/her to 'reconnect' (hence the name) and come into alignment for better health and well-being. So you are not healer but healing facilitator. It is not 'your' own energy to begin with. You 're'-connect to the best energy sources available. This is the case for most energy healing modalities in my view.

As a healer (healing facilitator) you can very well feel the energies, mostly in your hands, up to a level that sometimes it even 'burns'. For me it is mostly 'electric' though. It is possible to 'sense' the chakras or stronger areas that emanate more energy than other parts, different from patient to patient of course. Clients also often feel a lot of energy lying there with their eyes closed - some in trance-like states, some just relaxed or/and meditative. Some describe it e.g. like magnetic waves or electric currents going through their bodies. But many more kinds of sensations are possible. More examples will be mentioned in following posts.

The immediate effects as well as the mid- to long-term results are manifold. They range from highly spiritual experiences to the most mundane physical reactions - or all of it. Of course, Reconnective Healing is about healing in the first place, like any other modality. That's why many clients come with their physical problem(s) although a smaller portion come to experience sth spiritual or 'extraordinary' with it or just out of curiosity (as was the case for me when I went to a practitioner the first time).

You might get what you want and expect - or not. It depends in the individual case. However, it can affect a lot of aspects in life in the aftermath. Even different than expected at the outset by the client. And sometimes even better than expected. Often the 'healing' or improvement takes place on another level than (just) the physical: mind-related, spiritually, life quality, mood and well-being, mind-body connection, psychologically, self-assurance, purpose in life, etc.

Therefore anything can happen during and after the session to/for a client. As Eric Pearl, a former chiropractic doctor who discovered and then developed Reconnective Healing during his practice, once put it in his book and on facebook, too:

If you're lucky, your healing will come in the form you anticipate. If you're really lucky, your healing will come in a form you've not even dreamed of - one which the Universe specifically has in mind for you. - Eric Pearl

https://www.facebook.com/Dr.EricPearlTheReconnection/posts/580727338659514

Here's the short description from the official website in order to complement my own depictions and the personal view and meaning I give to Reconnective Healing:

Reconnective Healing is the new Energy, Light and Information of our planet. It’s a highly evolved form of energy interaction that continues to advance our health, balance, and quality of life progress with infinite freedom and expanded consciousness. It promotes our ability to heal ourselves and impact the lives of others. Recognized by today’s science as the Reconnective Healing frequencies, Reconnective Healing is comprised of this new, all-inclusive spectrum of energy, light and information. These vibrational frequencies encompass the energy systems and benefits of all energy healing techniques, yet are accessible without complicated steps, procedures or rituals… and can be learned by everyone.

Offered in individual sessions, Reconnective Healing is not therapy or treatment. It is CHANGE. Each person’s healing will be unique, as each of us has our own independent perfection.

Following your sessions, take a look at your life and be the observer. Notice what has begun to shift. It may be on a physical level. It may be on a mental or emotional level. It may be that a relationship has become easier or a work challenge has disappeared, or, just in your vibrational interaction with others… you’ve become a catalyst, a new link to a situation with which they had been struggling. Again, you will receive what is most appropriate for YOU in your life and for those you interact with. Reconnective Healing is a source to wholeness. It is palpable. There is a vibrational shift happening in your very cells. Your DNA is changing. You begin to emit more coherent levels of light. Your life becomes one of flow and life progress.

That's it for now. The next topic will likely be "My Activation" that happened in late 2010.

 

[Stargazer]

So finally I'm listening.

LOL...YAY!!!

 

[Sinera]

My Activation As A Healer

It still baffles me today that I did or do not find an exact journal entry of this anymore, normally I must have done one back then since I did my metaphysical journals since 2009. Anyway. This happened to me in late 2010.

Of course, I wrote down some notes a little later and also in other forums since I can recall it clearly, even almost everything of the 'conversation' that took place. Although it is a reconstructed and slightly stylized transcript from memory I can vouch for the fact that it took place like this - or at least very similar.

Allow me for a little dramatization here. I mean this literally, like a theatre play. The experience as a whole took place on two planes, but it also has a prologue or background, plus an aftermath or epilogue. Let's now indulge in the fun of describing it as a play with 2 acts on two different stages.

Prologue

It all began in 2010 with a thread (started in 2008!) about a Reconnective Healing seminar and book by another member who is also a healer. It was on my mostly frequented metaphysical forum of that time: Astraldynamics. I got interested in the book and quickly read it in October/November 2010 already.

Quickly I was also considering doing an appointment with a healer, just for curiosity. We had lots of discussions about the seminar and this healing method on this thread and I was searching for a practitioner at the same time then. Btw, the thread can still be found on the AD forums with the search function, but unlike before here I omit giving the original links this time since it is simply not necessary.

In the book as well as in the forum thread it was said that positive 'strange(r) things' () might happen to you even already while you are only reading the book. This is true. It did!

Although I have not an exact date of the night it happened I know it happened while I read the book and before I went to the Reconnective Healer for the first time in December because I remember clearly that I told her about this event of being 'activated' at my hands already. She liked it but wasn't too surprised, maybe knowing that things like this happen when you read the book and come into contact with RH for the first time.

Up to that point in time of this event, I had not felt anything in my hands or any energetic sensations in waking state. I had been doing Robert Bruce's energy work for a while, but it did not lead to anything felt when awake. I had experienced kundalini snake and then vibrational energy in trance state, but that is something different.

So without further ado, the following is the most detailed account I can give today about what happened that night.

Act 1: Non-Physical Plane

As an avid projector at that time I had experience with lots of types of projections and projection states, as there are for example: the well-known pre-exit OBE-vibrations, OBE-exits without vibrations, kundalini waves through my body first initiated from a lucid dream leading to an etheric projection, OBE exit into my room, phasing (switching, jumping, teleporting) to astral planes without any transition - or the classical way by 'using' the tunnel, etheric projections with no sight but other sensations (touching or hearing by my helpers, etc.), astral/etheric Void projections with or without communications, etc.

This one though is another type that usually serves as a good launchpad for projectors to further OBEs (= your room, the physical plane), Void/etheric-blind projections or 'usual' astral projections (= to other realms / planes) while you come out of a dream or another projection: It is called the 'hypnopomp' state.

Simply put: The hypnagogic and hypnopomp have been coined by researchers as the transitions to and from sleep, respectively. Hypnagogic imagery, 'portals' and visions that lead to sleep; while when we come out of sleep (dream) but are not yet fully awake and still experiencing similar visions, impressions or 'portals' we call it hypnopomp.

As said above, it is a launchpad. Many astral forums and expert book even recommend this as a projection method. It is to learn to be attentive enough of this state when you just are waking up. Mostly it is recommended not to open your eyes and move so that you are immediately in the non-physical again, normally projected into an astral scene.

You can however also remain in this state for while. Normally it is a bit like it is in the astral Void although I do not know if it is the same: Your vision is not your primary sense. So you do not see a lot in a controlled way, but you are in this sublimnal state of images, thought projections in your mind's eye. It's the same when you fall asleep (hypnagogia).

Maybe even most of the folks not practicing AP remember these phases when we wake in the middle of the night, but not 'quite' and then fall deeper asleep again? It's because everyone has it once in a while. This is actually it: Hypnopomp!

Note: From a hypnagotic state it is however (in my case) much more difficult to project. Therefore the hypnpomp(ic) state is gold. It is a bit like projecting from the dreamstate by diving upwards again almost touching the surface of waking - before you remember you need to go down for another dive, this time in lucid state.

It also leads to feelings of sleep paralysis like it does for induced projections from a wake state (or hypnagogic state if you will). You feel the paralysis and your 'stiff' immovable body only if you focus on your physical body. This can also be avoided by an immediate reentry into another dream or lucid experience. Or you can stay in this state and experience it. It is a nightmare for the uninitiated suffering from SP but it's actually almost fun for frequent projectors. But as I said before, pathways to choose to go from there are manifold.

So after a long explanation of the setting, this is what happened 'on stage' for Act 1:

I woke from a longer dream and was going hypnopompic. I wasn't 'seeing' anything or anyone.

But one thing was sure: I wasn't alone.

Some things in this state you have a sudden knowingness about. Maybe it is transferred to you via telepathic or clairvoyant pathways. However, you 'know'.

I knew I was joined by a 'collective' or a group of about 3-4 beings.

And we were talking, having a conversation. This time it was not that I heard the voices like they were in the room. This I often had in 'etheric' or 'Void' projections, mostly when I talk to my helpers. But this is not a trait of the hypnopomp state (it seems). It was merely voiceless telepathic. Still it was a 'normal' conversation going to and fro. And I knew it was 'a group' or 'a collective' I communicated with, although they spoke with one 'voice'.

So the following is the rough memory transcript that is at least very similar to how the 'dialogue' took place – or at least the part I remember of it (later more on that):

Group: "Why don't you turn it on?"
Me: "Turn it on?"
Group: "Yes. Switch it on. Now."
Me: "Okay. I can do that?"
Group: "Yes. It's easy."
Me: "How? Now?"
Group: "Yes, we can do it now. We show you how."
Me: "You mean right now?"
Group: "Yes, we can do this right now. If you want to."
Me: "Me alone? Or you? Or what?"
Group: "We do it together."
Me: "Switch it on? Right now?"
Group: "Yes. If you want. Then we can do this now."
Me: "Um ... okay. So let's do it."
Group: "Okay. Let's do it."
Me: "Yeah. Fine. Let's do it!"

Act 2: Physical Plane

And so it happened.

BOOM !!!

I woke up.

Startled. Surprised.

Immediately Jumping out of bed like a bat out of hell.

All while staring in disbelief.

Where at?

At my HANDS !!!

The moment I had given the signal "Let's do it!" - while still in hypnopomp half-sleep state - the palms of my hands started to tingle and buzz. Really in that very moment!

And of course I completely awoke by that. Everyone would have.

The palms tingled electrically in both hands.

And as said above, for the first time.

An initiation, kind of.

Epilogue

It stayed with me. All day long. And after.

I must have looked acting funny that day. It was so 'new' of course. I tried it all the time during daytime enthusiastically. E.g. holding the arms up and my head in between, moving my hands or the fingers and feeling the energy land on my cheeks. That worked fine because it was very strong that day.

I tried out lots of other things. It was amazing.

The energy stayed with me ever since that night.

It comes back during daytime when I think of metaphysical topics. Sometimes as a reminder of that. A reminder of being 'aware', not just of the energy in itself, but of other things: the Now, sth I just thought of, etc.

Sometimes the tingling in my palms even becomes a burning or a very strong magnetic tugging.

Now the great question:

Who were the activators on the non-physical plane? These 'people', beings, collective, group?

Sorry to disappoint. I really don't know - consciously. Subconsciously I certainly do. But consciously I only can speculate. Three options exist for me: Guides, Higher Self, ETs.

1) Some of my regular or specialized Helpers I met before? Yes and no. Could be. However, it does not feel like they were my regular helpers I already knew then. Maybe experts in healing (activation)? The way of communicating was different and unusual, too. However this does not exclude the possibility of guides.

2) My Higher Self. Possible since the HS is (for me) also a collective or at least can be experienced like that. I did so for sure in my countless meetings with it! Your HS can be your guide too. It is so mostly in my case.

3) ET beings? Even more specific: Pleadians? It's because Eric Pearl (and Reconnection) is said and also said it himself to be somehow connected to them? Possible, although the least likely for me.

Two more assumptions I can make:

Actually, I assume that on a higher (self?) level I know/knew who these guys are. Moreover since it is obvious to me that the conversation took place a little longer than I remembered it. This is an intuitive feeling I had, but it's also logical, since the remembered transcript conversation seems to start somehow midway.
Therefore it's likely I forgot the first and maye even longer part of the conversation that probably did not take part in hypnopomp state but rather in a kind of lucid dream or projection state before it. I was just in the process of waking up then anyway. Maybe that is why they could do it with me because I would have woken up by the activation anyway.

I can also make the assumption that I subconsciously (or super-consciously) knew what it all was about, that means: I knew what I was going to do or agreeing to. My memory is different as the dialogue shows because it is not said "what" is to be done. I only knew consciously what it had been about when I then jumped awake by 'it'.

The last point I talk about is less of an assumption but a thing I know for sure:

They were benign and real helpers. This I do know for two reasons:

Reason 1: Well, it worked, so judge a tree by its fruit. And it was useful in the end and furthermore no damage was done. Maybe it was what I wanted or asked for subconsciously anyway. And maybe it would have happened to me sooner of later in another way provided I stayed on the healer path. Hence I see it of a kind of initiation (or a gift), sort of.

Reason 2: This one if far more important: They respected my free will. If you read the dialogue you might have noticed that I was asked and that I agreed. It was not "Okay, so here we are and this is what we will do to you now...". No, they absolutely respected my decision. I could have said 'no, thanks' and nothing would have happened.

Real non-physical helpers (be they angels, guides, masters, whoever) respect your free will! Always!

Hence my advice: In the non-physical world or with non-physical beings, should you ever meet a being that tells you what to do because it 'knows what's best for you' then be warned: It's a fake helper, a trickster. Probably it's even a mischievous or downright evil being. Not in all cases though. Some lower astral elemental beings or some fairies etc. might mean well, but still they are not so advanced beings who are the 'real' helpers who have your best in mind, probably it's only 'their' best.

I recommend a classic piece of literature for your further information on this topic: C.W. Leadbeater: The Astral Plane Its Scenery, Inhabitants and Phenomena

I will come back to another personal insight on the topic of real guides and their respect of our free will in the chapter 'The Reminder'. As I am going forward in a more or less chronological order the next post will likely be about my own experiences as client, called 'Receiving Reconnection - My Experiences As A Client' from around December 2010.

Thanks for your instructive post, Sinera. I also once had a "visitor" in dream state which was the night of conception of my child. The physical act was done, and the sperm was on its way to the egg, but that's not what caused the actual successful conception. The reason things happened so easily and "rightly" was that I had a big "Yes" in response to being asked if I would look after a child (who was presented to me in vision as being about 3 years old and holding the hand of the lady visitor). I was very clearly given my free will, and I agreed to the conditions. (Only now that I have travelled through the first 18 years of her life do I know much more detail - but my subconscious seemed to know all about it then!)

There's a lot more going on behind the scenes in these kinds of visits, but even though you are in dream state, certain parts of the visit will be etched into your memory banks as vivid as waking life memories.

Yes, these things of course happen also in normal dream state. Hypnopomp is 'borderland' between dream and waking though. I had also lots of communications and messages by beings or deceased friends and also relatives in dream state, too, though.

As regards pregnant women, I remember from quite a few forum posts but also from OBE literature (forgot which authors though) that children who are yet unborn do a lot of OBEs while in the womb and also already communicate by getting into their mothers and fathers dreams.

I remember one example where a child projected together with her father and told him which name she wanted to have and other things what she wanted to do in life. Of course she got her will and was then named accordingly.

Decision: Journal Thread cancelled.

Reason: Ineffectiveness due to lack of interest.

Explanation: As a more rational person I like being effective. My last and longest post (27 Jan) which took quite some work and time was not read by anyone except one notable exception (Thanks, HM!).
This is clear from the fact that no rating was given. I am not keen on (positive) ratings at all as I already stated in another thread here, but it shows to me that no one even bothered to read it because normally RT members do give ratings after reading. Maybe it was too long, big mistake too.

Again as I said above, it's not that much of a 'butthurt ego' thing, it's rather about effectiveness. No demand, ok fine, then I won't make the offer.

Actually I wanted to delete this thread but maybe one day s.o. interested might stumble across it. And as said, it took some time and work to write these 3 longer posts, too, so let us leave it here.

I will nevertheless stop sharing experiences of this kind, at least for the most part in this forum. I conclude there is not interest for my kind of experiences and especially for my own partly skeptical evaluation / analysis of the events and possible background

It appears to me now that people want more 'exciting' or 'fantastic' stories with clearer messages and conclusions, and without all the 'technicality' about altered states of consciousness and induction techniques - which I like doing and know from so many other astral projection forums I frequent(ed).

I realized I'm not compatible to the needs.

Okay, fine, I have to and can accept that.

*cynical mode on*
Next time I choose a better thread title that might attract readers, or make an addendum in parenthesis, e.g. like:
... (contains lots of light, love and New Earth higher vibration content)
or maybe:
... (contains meetings with at least one of these: magickal fairies, majestic dragons, ascended masters or galactic ET councils)

*cynical mode off*

Before I indulge in even more cynicism, let's seal this thing off as long as I still can because I also decided to step down as a Moderator here. I will remain a regular 'normal' forum member of course.

Note: I am not in any way, just being rational .

To the very few: Thanks for reading anyway, see you elsewhere anytime.

 

[Laron]

As moderator of this board, I reserve the right to make a final post in this closed thread, just because... I can!

Reason: Ineffectiveness due to lack of interest.

This thread has 165 views. Just because you don't get a response, doesn't mean people are not reading and getting a lot out of whatever the information may be about. In a months time, it could have 500 views or more, even if you stopped replying today.

A few things:

When I see the word "Journal", what comes to mind is a place where people should only read, and not respond or interact. This is a place to get insight and information into a person, whatever the topic may be. I say this solely based on the word being used in the thread title, "Journal", not on what the thread starting post has explained above. Sometimes we are conditioned to act in a certain way based on a single word. For other people, they may think completely differently. This doesn't mean your thread and posts are not being read.

When I make a post, I know it is going to stand the test of time, and will be able to be found by many people unless I create that post on a board which is not public. Search engines are listing many threads on this forum in high ranking positions and that is making a lot of information available. I don't care at all that my posts don't get replies as it's all about the content and intention behind what I post, not how it is received. The most helpful feedback to me is the view count of the thread in this case, if there has been no responses or replies. (note that the view count for articles on the front page board do not represent the actual view count of the article on the site, as it's a great deal higher because of how that is just a link leading to the actual source article for anyone wondering)

My last and longest post (27 Jan) which took quite some work and time was not read by anyone except one notable exception (Thanks, HM!).
This is clear from the fact that no rating was given

Ratings have nothing to do with the amount of reads.

Those that are not signed in who find all this information through search engines and get a lot out of it, are unable to rate a post, as they are not registered.

A lot of registered folk read the forum and don't rate. Some people don't know how to use the rating system, and I have had proof of this with people I know personally (I have had to teach them how).

From a psychological perspective, people who have friendships and close connections with another person on the forum are much more likely to take the time out of their day to go through the many options and pick a rating for a post. What I find is that ratings can actually indicate who a persons friends are on a forum.

If the post is made on a board with no moderator, and unseen by global moderators, then that is going to be a less chance of getting a rating. Part of the role of a moderator is to rate posts on their board to encourage participation and the quality of future posts. I personally rate posts for this reason, but also based on the content of a post if I have read it. I don't read all the posts on the forum as I don' t have the time. I haven't read any of the posts on this thread except the last one, for example. (I don't rate based on friendships) On occasion i will read a post and find that none of the options available in the rating system apply, so I don't rate the post.

It appears to me now that people want more 'exciting' or 'fantastic' stories with clearer messages and conclusions, and without all the 'technicality' about altered states of consciousness and induction techniques - which I like doing and know from so many other astral projection forums I frequent(ed).

What you shared in this thread, after skipping through it, is very valuable and has snippets of areas of metaphysics that I hope to see more of on the forum here. People tend to love biographies of others who are on the path and/or involved in metaphysical areas. They love to know why a person comes to their conclusions and thoughts, as that is valuable to them, as it teaches them so much.

By the way, I noticed you posted a few hours after the automated email was sent out about the weeks most popular posts — that email does not include threads started before the seven days, only threads started within the last week, so it wouldn't include this one, but if it included all threads, this would be on that list, guaranteed.

I do get that you are concerned with the amount of time and energy you put in, and require validation that the effort is worth while.

If someone is respected for the areas they are known to focus on, and work in, then they come with the energy of authority on such topics. People are much less likely to interact if the content has that essence and feeling to it. They are reading to learn, not reading to interact. From the perspective of a moderator, we may come to also know that some people don't need a rating, as we may feel they are confident in nature, and in their subject, that no rating is required to express the value of their effort as well.

There are just so many reasons why it's not a good idea to rely upon validation in life. If we have that urge, then we need to look deep inside ourselves to work out why that urge is there. Take Facebook for example, it's like the perfect platform and space for people that need validation — whatever it is they do on there.

I've posted many threads that barely get read, such as,

The Penguin Cafe Orchestra — Union Cafe, 1993 (FULL ALBUM) (47 views)
Storyboards, their use and history (26 views)

Then I have posted many that do... none of this phases me. I focus on the reasons behind why I do what I do, which is simply to help others grow and expand. On occasion I post for entertainment, for friendship, to share a human moment with another I care about, but the reason of the forum is for spiritual development. (see my "journal" entry entry here on my new site about the purpose of the forum)

It is true that I don't feel pride anymore, so with posts that succeed.. it doesn't matter to me from that perspective, as I have done a lot of ego work on this element, and this has helped me be much more effective with what I do, but then this sometimes make me feel somewhat isolated when people don't understand the reasoning behind shifting away from acting and reacting based on ego.

Yesterday I took photos of paper based certificates, diplomas and workshop attendances for my site, to show people that I know what I am doing and to make available the bits of paper to prove it, but only because that is the world we live in, and the greater numbers require such validation. For the one year full time diploma I did in writing, I received an average of A+ , for the 8 courses, yet i didn't feel pride, I was just pleased I 'mastered' what people expect of writers, as that is why I did it — to be more effective at reaching others with the information I want to share (to help them).

It was also necessary for me to address my shadow, inner child and conditioning (including forgiveness of others), all of which can activate and trigger reactions in connection to ego elements, as sometimes we can't just take control of our ego element, we have to do a lot of self healing first. I am by no means a master, or guru in this, but I did enough to help me see how it works, and help me have the tools to continue on with the work and assist / teach others. (There is so much to cover in life, so many priorities to sort and areas to focus on, as I continue on with my planned path!)

*cynical mode on*
Next time I choose a better thread title that might attract readers, or make an addendum in parenthesis, e.g. like:
... (contains lots of light, love and New Earth higher vibration content)
or maybe:
... (contains meetings with at least one of these: magickal fairies, majestic dragons, ascended masters or galactic ET councils)

*cynical mode off*

I wouldn't worry at all about this.

I love this thread and I love seeing a journal on here. You should be your self.

Sure, you can make some small changes here and there, but stick to what's important to you, not what you think is important to the masses.

I am no longer a sheep, I don't do what the masses do.. and I think that stands out rather strongly through decisions I have made in the past in relation to transients. I don't make decisions based on numbers, and I am very good at finding patterns and understanding what will bring in the most people, but choose not to manipulate people, as I make decisions based on what is important to me and what I think is most effective for helping others.

I would rather reach 10 people with mostly accurate information, than a thousand with a bunch of rubbish and disinfo.

There are exceptions to this rule of mine though, as we should reach a certain amount of people to make it worth our time and effort, and this is your dilemma! It's just I think you could reexamine the situation and look at it in a different light.

Obviously the new earth and the shift in consciousness is the most popular topic on this site. The webbot, dragons and ET discussions are popular too. What is really most important is people taking action and actually doing something, rather than reading about something, so this thread is valuable in that way since you are showing your actions, and you are including some of your methods of getting there, where your direct experiences have come through.

I say keep up the great work of reaching people and don't change yourself for others.

Sinera, I saw the word 'Journal' in the title and thought "Ok, I'll wait to read that until I have time to really absorb it.". One thing led to another and I finally had time about 36 hours after you closed the thread Fortunately for me it's still here.
I am stunned, on many levels, by what I am reading. I'm so glad you took the time to write it

I recall a friend once asking me, when I was talking about wanting to reach more people with what I was doing as it really seemed life changing. Her simple question was "How many people do you need to reach/help before it is worth it to you?"
Once I realized that the answer was that I really only needed to change a single life to feel the effort was worthwhile, it changed everything for me.

I look forward to reading more of this very high quality writing
