i was browsing this forum and reading about our higher self, and how we can contact it.

it made me realise, 'if it is my higher self, surely i can communicate by any means...and as long as i intend for my higher self to hear the message, then it will happen.'.

so i opened notepad on my computer and started typing to my higher self. i told him to read what i was reading....i then had a feeling as if i was connected to somebody and they were watching through my eyes. i typed about how i've always tried to receive signals that i have a higher self, and that nothing has happened, i wanted a sign, a sign that they existed.

as i finished typing this, i had an image suddenly come to the front of my thoughts, i was playing badminton, but i was looking at myself through somebody elses eyes. this person was watching me play from a balcony, and was wearing a blue sweatshirt...long sleeved, he was leaning on his elbow and seemed very relaxed.

for some reason then i had the idea that i would see this person this afternoon (i was going to play badminton in reality).

the afternoon arrives, we start playing badminton, i'm having a great time with my family.....then i look up at the balcony suddenly, and what do i see? a man wearing a long sleeved blue sweatshirt, leaning on his elbow, watching me at the exact same place on the balcony that i imagined earlier that day.

i was amazed.  really amazed, this couldnt be coincidence, i dont feel that it is.

i do not feel that this person was my higher self, but rather i think that he knew that this person was going to be at that place at that time.......

but wow, i'm so happy.

what do you all think? i've never had anything like this happen before, could it be that i finally have a sign that i can trust? that i can finally believe that i have a higher self?  ;D

Hi, chris,

What a fantastic experience. Personally, I don`t think it was someone else looking at you - I think it was another you looking at you. I`m not sure if that is a connection to your higher self, but, no doubt, more knowledgeable people on this board will comment on that.
I feel its a pity you couldn`t have gone up to him and started talking to him about what had occurred earlier that day as you finished typing.

Regards, roger  :)

Hi Chris,

Wow, that was intriguing.  I would say to you of course you have a higher self, but I don't know how to prove it to you.  

But since you asked for a sign and then this strange thing happened, you should probably take it as proof.  I have had visions but they have always been through my own eyes, not someone else's.   So perhaps this was a message to you that yes you have a higher self and it is showing you how to look at YOU from another perspective.  

An exercise you can try is to get in a relaxed (meditative) state and send a thought or question to your higher self, and then imagine you as your higher self receiving that message.  The way you do it is to kind of imagine yourself as being in the future and looking back on you right now.  It is a good exercise to train your mind to look at your life from another vantage point.  

Congratulations Chris! You received an answer from your higher self. Your higher self arranged that little scene to prove to you that you connected. I love it!

Vicky: I like your exercise you posted. I will try that.

                                                                                                     Yeah Chris! What a great story of acting on your realization. I feel that moment you describe, where the beliefs that say "You can't !" fall away, and YOU see it differently, you see all possibilities. Your feeling of happiness afterwards is something you can certainly trust. As to whether it's a sign from your higher self...sure sounds like it. You say you've never had anything like this happen before?  What a great adventure to embark on! Keep your friends on this site posted about continuing experiences... Vicky: Me too!  I love the excercise you describe, very much.    Best to you my friends,   Tim

Chris I feel your higher self was communicating with you, and using a form of predictive telepathy that would be more immediately recognisable than some wave of thought or feeling.  I suggest you keep up this mental dialogue whenever you can and see what you can learn.  I advise you to be prepared for some challenging set-ups. HS loves to stretch you.
My own HS connections are long and complex, but if you feel up to it, they're all included in the Conversation Board Archive ...towards the end, last five pages somewhere I think.
