I mean this in a very serious, non-disrespectful way. I feel like I'm kind of intuitive and I might be able to make a bridge between two worlds, so to speak. I think it would be fascinating to speak to the dead. I made my own ouija bord and I just want to try this.

I have let someone go recently and it’s been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but it was necessary for my Journey, I really miss them so I always wish to randomly see this person just in passing not a full blown meet up just like from afar or something, a couple of times in the last 2 months I have but it has not ended well it actually caused me anxiety and panic (they didn’t see me) I believe they were shown briefly to me to show me that I’m not healed and not ready to see them as the way I felt caused me to do some inner work and I did learn from those encounters, that doesn’t stop me wanting to bump into them tho, that hasn’t happened in a while, what I do see tho is a Fire Engine quite often and he is a Fire Fighter, a few weeks back I saw a Fire Truck 3 times in 2 weeks, it was just a fleeting thought that I might see one and I did all 3 times, I always feel a connection to him when I see a fire engine and it gives me hope that we are still energetically connected somehow, lastnight I was venting saying out loud that i havnt been shown any signs recently that are connection is meant for more and that I should I just let go of all this heartache but this morning a Fire Truck was put in my path again after a few weeks of not seeing anything, it stopped at the traffic lights as I was walking across the road and I was in direct view of it, Altho I can never see in to see if he is in it I always feel closer to him when I see one, I’m hoping this was meant for me, I’m wondering anyone has any insight or am I just delusional?

in order to break free . One must realize that “fear,” is just a way to keep us low vibes unable to manifest and wasting anxiety energy for nothing.. but once you realize “Hey I’ve got power because I’ve accepted the divine source.” I believe we are all god, yet we are not. God is in everything that ever will live . You need to accept that you are part of one big family. We are just lost people looking for the way back home . But you won’t find God unless you want to be found . Once you accept that, you have that higher power , you need to practice having complete faith, no doubt. And if you do have something bad happen , just believe , somehow this is just a bump on road your travelling. And we all have our own roads we walk on . Think of that road as a life path. Certain ppl have different setbacks and so on . But don’t put out the bad energies out.. it’s going to just derail you more . And it will be harder to get on back on the right path. But I hope we all make the decision to be a part of Gods family. It’s basically just admitting that love and unity is the answer and conquer of love. Love creates. Fear only takes . Leave your burden at the “cross,” And God doesn’t want you to sit there feeling like crap because of a burden . god wants you to leave it behind and keep on the path. It’s Ok to make mistakes . You are not unworthy. We need to just return to the source to realize that love and unity create the answer and succeess

the gnostics believed that most ppl are under the control of demonic forces . When I have a bad day, it feels like randomlyppl start attacking me , and then my social media or phone starts acting weird . Like they say how negative spirits can fuck with electricity and so on. So what if it also controls the technology. The other day, my cars battery died. I called the taxi to help, and just as I got the right address , she hanged up on me : I tried calling again the cab and the lady asked me what’s my first name , I repeated it to her and she couldn’t hear what it was , I repeated myself again, and still nothing. And then she also hanged up on me.

Hi all. I've been observing my internal world quite heavily for the last couple of years. And I've noticed that my heart will respond to situations or people with energy or pain. And I've also noticed that thinking about those said situations or people can produce differing heart information. Like something is a yes in reality, but the thought of it brings heart pain.

Does anybody know what I'm talking about? There's certainly come a few times where I think maybe I've delved too far into my internal world and am not healthy for it

I feel like there’s perhaps something I’m missing on this path. To give some examples…

I went to a meditation circle last week and it ended up being cliquey, which massively surprised me in a space of that nature. Some whispering and giggling going on…

A new friend invited me for dinner with her friends this week and there was a fair bit of mocking about different aspects of spirituality and also certain types of diets (one of which I’m attempting to follow). Also mocking of other types of people that are different to them. They don’t know these things about me, so it wasn’t personal.

Another new friend became very clingy and almost romantic with me (despite her knowing I’m straight) and then turned on me out of the blue.

I feel like I’m going wrong somewhere and am starting to feel like I just want to spend time completely alone. 2 years of inner work every single day certainly resulted in a lot of dramatic losses and changes in my life (for the better), but I’m yet to see the new things coming in. I’m just kinda in limbo between my old life and new and it feels like I’m being directed to strip everything back and be alone

Isn’t it interesting how darkness is always eliminated by light. Darkness can cover light, but light cannot be removed by darkness. Sounds so basic but I was thinking about it in terms of consciousness, the darkness that can cloud our minds is just covering light. Let me know what you think

‘Most people exist, they don't live’, means that they don't know the true meaning of life, they don't discover that they are the Divine Soul, a Spark Of Unique Life. They exist, they drag through life as the body, mind and ego, suffering pain of the body, misery of the mind and agony of the ego. But if we want to move from existing to living, then we must be in the state of truth consciousness and enjoy eternal bliss, a state known as Satchitananda. Most of us who exist don't know the truth of ‘Who am I, why am I here?’ and therefore, drag through this journey called life. We live, we die, then we are reborn. This goes on and on. We enjoy pleasure and pain, loss and gain. But we do not live life, we only drag through life without understanding the meaning and purpose of life.

The final stage in life after the journey of self-realization, enlightenment is called Nirvana, Moksha. It is in this state, in the moment of death that we are free from the cycle of rebirth. We realize we are not the body that dies, not the mind and ego that does not exist. We realize we are the Soul, a Spark Of Unique Life. In the moment of death after enlightenment, we are united with the Supreme, the Divine, SIP, the Supreme Immortal Power. There is nothing beyond that. This is the ultimate in the journey of enlightenment, of spiritual awakening.

Hello everyone finally took care of what was necessary and fucking killed some demons and dragons said what I was supposed to say it’s not that I was avoiding I couldn’t find the people I was supposed to talk to Anyway I went to church and some Christian’s taught me in Christianity or in the holy light of Jesus any other religion and spirituality is counterfeit and because it does not originate from god as its source it is demonic and bad things will occur when you involve yourself in spiritual practices such as vibrations chakras worshipping other gods and dieties I will run a experiment and meditate and do chakra meditation and go to sleep with vibration music and see what happens to me In Jesus name I pray amen.🙏

I (16f) have been exploring my spirituality recently. I have always been more spiritual than my family as they are all atheists, and are very spectacled abt religious topics. When I began highschool, I began experimenting with praying/meditating, and truely looking into more paganism/pantheism like beliefs. I have always felt very connected with nature and truely love the idea of karma and everything having a meaning. I also feel very drawn towards prayer kinds of practises and having something/one to honour. I used to hide a lot of my beliefs and the fact that I loved putting religious practises into play as I thought my family was judging me whenever I brought up spirituality. I was wondering what kind of spiritual group I may align with, and I really want to take it further, as I was truely so happy whenever I looked into spirituality in the past. I know this is a weird topic because you can't just "choose" a belief but I feel like I'd like to make more sense of how I am feeling, any ideas?

I’ve been feeling rather uneasy so I burnt some sage in my house to cleanse it. However I was burning it in my room and I swear I hear someone crying..

I genuinely been so curious because I have seen so many advice videos about detaching and about law of detachment. I have such a hard time just letting go of things that need to be let go of and I wanted to ask someone who has detached, how did you do it? What strategies did you use?

I was around 10-12. I had a kid that lived next door to me. We were riding our bikes and we heard my mom's voice telling to come in the house now!!! It felt like it came from the trailer I lived in. I told the other kid I'm gonna see what she wants. I walked in and she was on her computer and she didn't call me. Then I thought that was weird and I went back outside to the kid and we rode the bikes again and we heard my mom's voice yelling to come in. I was freaked out so we biked the shit out of the place. The kid said he heard the voice saying come back to me.

What does this sound like? A spirit attached to me? Also the voice source I think came from the forest.

I had this weird and random thought, hoping to discuss about it with others.

Do you believe passed loved ones can gift you in some sort of way? Anything you can think of?

3 years ago my grandpa died, he was a professional tailor most of his life. We lived with him and other family. About half a year after passing I started to be drawn a lot to sewing machines, thought they make me think of him. But then ended up buying one for extremely cheap and discovered I can sew? Later I got a better sewing machine and i’ve been making things without learning lol. Now I look up some techniques to learn more but without any knowledge I sew a dress, 2 piece set for my husband, a shirt for my brother and my mom, a 2x 2 piece set for myself, 2 sets for kids. Then I started to research more and learn. I had never used a sewing machine in my life, I didn’t watch my grandpa much since it was his job and we weren’t bothering him a lot. He taught us how to sew by hand, which i’m not so great at haha Sometimes when I don’t know how to do somethingy or get frustrated with the sewing project, I ask him for help and I receive clarity quite shortly, sometimes instantly and sometimes after waking up in the morning the next day. I can’t explain it. And recently it made me wonder if my grandpa has gifted me and is supporting me in this venture.

Ok, so I have always experienced street lights going out when I walk under them. It wasn’t very frequent, usually I would forget shortly after. But recently it’s been eerily common, almost every other day. Either driving or walking, lights go out all the time. One time I was waiting for a taxi and a light went out for 10 min, came back on and went out within another 10. The other night I watched a billboard light go out! I’m not the most spiritual person but I’m definitely open to all the energy out there. Should I be worried? Is this a warning? A glitch in the matrix? Or just something I’ll live with, with no effect on me otherwise? Just trying to quell some fears. Thanks.

i used to be a BIGGG fan of alternative/hard rock back in my early teens (think three days grace, linkin park, breaking benjamin, etc), and as it currently stands i only really listen to that music here and there. i used to be especially obsessed with breaking benjamin and three days grace, knew all their songs like the back of my hand (still kinda do out of habit).

in any case, i was doom-scrolling on instagram and i came across a particular breaking benjamin song i used to REALLY dislike. like, i remember when their album first came out and this song was the singular song from that entire album that i fully disliked and bent over backwards to avoid at all costs. it was called "angel's fall", but a couple weeks ago when i heard the song at random again, i felt oddly gravitated towards it - enough to listen to it on my own time on spotify. then i kept replaying and replaying it, not even paying much attention to the lyrics at first, but just genuinely soaking in the sound of the instrumentals and vocals and whatnot. then i did some digging into the lyrics, and it all started clicking.

to make things short, the song signified persistence in the face of tribulation/hardship, which perfectly reflected the state of my life at that point in time (and honestly still does), but i feel like my guides connected me to the song for a reason. it was a direct message given to me by my guides to not become discouraged by my setbacks. i even had a couple of strange and disturbing dreams the other day, and immediately upon waking up all i could think about was that song on replay. i seriously wear that song on my sleeve now lol

anyway, i just think it's amazing how my guides find so many creative ways to make connections with me. i am a huge music lover, both from a listening and musician standpoint, so the message was especially powerful for me :) as a side note, while writing this i saw two angel numbers (one of them being my bday number), which i’d like to view as a confirmation of my beliefs.

I hate to make such a controversial post, but I actually just wanted to see who everyone is voting for from a spiritual perspective. I have been a lifelong liberal and Democrat, but became interested in RFK when he spoke out against the food and pharmaceutical industries and the war mongering elites.

I was really surprised to see that he joined Trump as well as Elon and Tulsi. I really liked Elon and Tulsi before this mess and I think they’re making some great points about freedom of speech.

I feel like I’m in political no man’s land because in the spiritual awakening process, I have opened my eyes up to the major corruption of the Democratic Party, which I had been completely hypnotized into thinking was all snowflakes and rainbows. I also can’t vote for Trump because I could never vote for a convicted rapist which I can’t believe I’m even typing.

Anyway, I hope I’m not opening up the wrong can of worms but I know y’all see clearly in this community.

I have greatly benefitted from the spiritual practice of remembering our Creator in my day-to-day life. I have found that the key is to remember our Sustainer with heartfelt gratitude, love, and humility, and reflect on all the blessings we enjoy individually and collectively. Through this practice, I have been able to overcome emotional trauma, addiction, and have developed mental resilience. Hence, I thought I should share it with everyone. Perhaps someone will benefit.

Btw, the practice is mainly adapted from The Qur'an.

Not sure if this is the right place to post or not but, I got home tonight about an hour ago, and found a bat flying around. I got the bat out but I'm wondering if there's some type of meaning behind it. Could be an unfortunate happening but a bat in your house on halloween is just so wow.

Hi everyone! I know everyone has a different spiritual meaning to birthmarks. My boyfriend and I have matching birthmarks in the same area. When we first noticed this it was shocking.

What do you guys think it means?

Last night I fell asleep listening to 741 hz (which is known to strengthen decision making abilities) and today I had taken a quiz in school and guessed (I didn’t “guess” but idk what the term is) that I would get a 94% on it. My teacher had graded them in class while we did an assignment since the quiz was quite short and when I got it handed back, 94%! Not only that I was playing chess with my buddy after school, and I only learnt how to play around 2 weeks ago and I actually won my first chess match today! I’m quite surprised by everything that happened and I wanna know if listening to this frequency actually worked or if everything was just coincidence.

I am now 28 years old. I need better techniques. I keep getting jealous of other women and I don't want to. I keep telling myself I'm just as valid and worthy as others but I just don't believe it.

I just want to say fuck my ex bf and others from my past for screwing up my self esteem and comparing me to other women.

I can’t get it out of my head and I’m in therapy. It doesn’t seem to help. My therapist told me about the wise vs emotional mind. My wise mind is telling me: “Shut up. You’re beautiful inside and out. You are valid, loved, and worthy.” But the emotional part of my brain is saying, “You’re nothing. No one really likes you. You are dumb, boring, annoying. You have an average mediocre face and nothing special.”

I’ve been doing energy work and breath work and meditation to help ease these negative thoughts but they keep coming back. I get triggered by something and it comes back abruptly. I’ve been doing positive affirmations too.

Is something wrong with me?

If a guy rejects me or ignores me but talks to a different girl, I get triggered and start crying. It’s ridiculous.

Im becoming somewhat jealous of my new friend. I don’t want to hurt this friendship at all. Im scared. I don’t want to be envious of her. I can’t lose this friend because I’ve never met someone I had so much in common with.

Someone please help me? I’m drowning

In 2022, I had a pretty awful friendship breakup with someone who I considered to be a sister to me. We cut contact and haven't spoken since. occasionally, I'd have dreams about them here and there, but I thought that was just a normal part of missing someone. However, recently, it's become a bit weird and unsettling. For about a week straight now, all of my dreams have been about them. In these dreams, we are always either on the phone with each other or sitting down with each other and discussing where things went wrong with our friendship and how we both miss each other so much. The dreams don't feel like dreams. I remember my thoughts, my word choices, everything. I said things in these dreams that I would have said to this person irl. The craziest part is that in every dream, I either tell myself or someone else that "it's not a dream this time, we're actually friends again." I always wake up feeling empty and sad. I really do miss this person, and it feels like I'm grieving a family member. What could these dreams mean? Could it mean they're trying to reach out to me? Or am I just going crazy with grief?

Serious question. Men here are you going to try so you can better yourself?

How to forgive yourself for the things you’ve done in the past unknowingly and knowingly? Sometimes I think I’ve forgave myself but I don’t think I did it. It’s very hard for me to do so and I really want to release all the pain and hurt I’ve endured when I’ve put myself in most situations.

Most of the times I didn’t put myself in certain situations that caused me to be this way but I just want to just forget about it all and move on so I can finally be free from the past. I just want to make my old self proud. I just want the pain, bitterness, intrusive thoughts, ocd, PTSD, and etc to leave once I really forgive myself so I can be the person I want meant to become.

How can I practice forgiveness? What steps should I take to do it?

I live in a new construction home with my wife for 4 years. I have never felt off or had a bad vibe in any part of the house since we moved in. But recently one of my family members broke up with their significant other and is extremely depressed and obviously full of negative energy. This person stayed with us a few weeks ago and ever since that room has felt a little off to me. Last night I even had a nightmare about that room specifically and woke up wailing because in the dream I was fighting with some kind of negative spirit in that room.

So is it possible she left a negative imprint? Would cleansing it with sage help?

Long story short. I unfortunately had a child a year ago, as my partner at the time told me I would be evil/ go to hell if I didn’t keep the baby. I am not in both of their lives anymore since over a year ago now. Child is now a bit over 1. I felt it wasn’t meant for me and I want my mother who is recently in my life again after many years to not bring it up as it’s the one thing I regret the most. Because of this experience I looked into spirituality and my mum is really knowledgeable about that stuff. I can’t tell her how I really feel but I think she already kinda knows. I’m so disgusted in myself and I hope I’m making the right choice. I know I won’t go to hell because of this but I want to be able to move on and not feel so ashamed of myself. I moved to another state just to have a fresh start. My life hasn’t even started yet. I’m so embarrassed and ashamed that I had a child and if I could go back in time I would have chose what I really wanted if no one was there to limit me. I hope I can put this in the past and live a better life despite what happened. I don’t know I need advice I guess? Am I a bad person for not wanting to ever really think about this?
