Talking to your Spirit, 11. January, Jack
Most people
in the world believe that human beings have got some kind of soul or spirit. A
kind of divine connection or at least the possibility to have it. During
thousands of years religions have taught man to pray to God. Or to practice
certain rituals. Or to meditate to create this divine contact.
The current
time seems to have increased the interest for this matter. This means that the numbers
of people inside or outside religions who are spiritually active actually are
increasing. The Mayan Calendar predicts a kind of breakthrough for human
consciousness in the increasing spiritual interest seems to fit into that.
The open
question has always been: How can I be sure that I am really talking to my
spirit. How can I be sure that it is not something that I just make up myself?
And that is really good question I think.
I personally
believe in a spirit – I actually talk to it and it talks to me, so I don’t need
further evidence for that. It is the best advisor that I have ever had.
It seems to
me, that human beings have got a spirit – a kind of guardian angel – and that
spirit is connected to the person. It is like and wise parent to us and suggest
us what to do. It also answers our questions – if we ask any. Some people would
maybe call it our personal divine coach or advisor. The spirit is also very
powerful and able to fulfil the dreams you have – like the spirit in Aladins
Lamp.
So let us
take a look at how we may have things organized to have a better understanding
of how we can make it work even better.
In our
daily life we experience that we have a body. We use the body to take actions
and experience things. We go to work and on vacation. We fall in love and marry
and get kids. Some of us compete to become the best in whatever interest we
have and some of us just want to participate in numerous events. And along the
way we experience feelings. Feelings of joy, happiness, laughter but also
feelings of grief, anger and rejection. All this is part of what we call life.
We need the body to experience the feelings. And we need the feelings to know
that we are actually alive.
The body is
run by the minds. We have a conscious mind and an unconscious mind.
The
conscious mind is the logical mind. It collects information all the time by
using the senses.
The mind
compares this information with what the unconscious mind has stored already and
by doing that it knows how to react. So the conscious mind creates meaning in
our life by making all the decisions – we can call it the decision maker.
The
unconscious mind is more a kind of computer and has stored the memory of all
the events we have experienced in our life and what meaning we created from
those events. So whenever a similar event occurs the unconscious mind has a
suggestion of how to respond just by looking into the past and compare it to a
similar event. It is as an auto-pilot for us and is able to run our unconscious
reactions and the body without we think about. And example could be driving a
car.
I guess
that you can drive a car for hours without even to think about what you are
doing. You just have your unconscious auto-pilot do the job.
Inside the
minds we communicate all the time. We do internal self talk, hear sounds, see
pictures and have feelings. We can call all this for internal communication.
The mind actually makes a lot of “noise” inside us all the time.
This means
that if you would like to communicate with your spirit – you need to quiet this
noise down, so you can receive the signal. Many people use meditation or the
like to get into a state where it is possible. And later on when we have
trained for some time we may be able to communicate spontaneously with the
spirit and benefit from that.
This is
what I will be talking about in Copenhagen, Oslo, Stavanger, Stockholm and Gothenburg
in February during my talks.
