Nil Desperandum
Nov 11th, 2005 at 4:39am
 
Firstly I would like to say to everyone here. I've been familiar with these boards for a few months, but only today have I felt the need to communicate with you all.

My user name reflects my general feeling for the last 30 or so years. I have a deep feeling of being terribly lost and I've had no luck whatsoever in removing this feeling.

I'm married, I'm a moderately successful musician and I also run my own builders merchants, I have a great social life and really I want for nothing. In many ways I know I'm very lucky.

However, I still feel this way. I know that if you have got this far you will question why I have posted this here. Considering all the information I have gathered on this subject, I've arrived at the conclusion that I need to re-adjust and "Fix" myself, in order to do this I see that I'm short on communication with my higher self and need to re-align my connection.

My question to you all is, do you think that by adventuring into the "Above" I will be able to find what I'm missing.

Incidentally I'm not specifically religious. I was christened as a child (Church of England), but I would regard myself as a practicing human.

Welcome! 

I understand exactly how you're feeling.  It seems like many of us feel lost or have the desire to search for something that's missing.  We feel this deeply sometimes and I think this is what propels us onward in our search.  Most of the time I find that what needs to be "fixed" is me not loving myself unconditionally in some aspect. 

Really we don't need to be "fixed" at all because each of us is perfectly perfect in all that we are.  Perhaps it's like seeing that there is beauty in all imperfection.  We see this in all of nature... the grain of wood for example could be considered imperfect, yet there is much to behold.  I think connecting with our higher self is like this... it's seeing the imperfections within and loving our self in spite of these... holding our humanness in a warm embrace. 

Very glad you have joined us and I hope you will continue sharing.

Much love and light,
Kathy

Hello Lost (not really):

I believe that you're right about contacting your higher self. I've found that it will help you out a ton.

Perhaps you already do this, but a really good place to get in contact with it is through your dreams. I don't necessarilly mean that you'll have something such as a person to person conversation during a dream.  But dreams tell us a lot about ourselves, and are created by an awareness that is so much more than what people often think of when they think "unconscious mind."

Inner intuition and heartfelt feelings are also good ways to get in touch with your higher self.

Hey

What is it you really want? do you have any feelings about anything that could fill this gap?

The reason i ask is it could be something, even simply a childood dream you need to conquer, something you said you would and now the time is to do it!

Dont get me wrong, dont let me put of this journey, and would advise possible to go down this road, good can come out it depending on you situation, have you any idea what you want to experience? This is why I ask that question so much, to make sure you choosing the right way, the journy opens up many opportunities, many chances and many experiences that wether you like or not will change you, i do believe it is for the better but only you really know.

Do you believe if life after death? What are your views?

Sorry to come across negative, i do not mean too, just trying to get my feelings/points across.

To finish off hope you enjoy the board and hope we can all help which I know we all love to do so stick around and see what you like.

Hi there Lost and will be found,

  Welcome to the group Smiley  Like Kathy, i know how you feel.  Hope, its all about hope and love.

  Just wanted to say that meditation has helped me in my life, and it might help in yours?  I'm trying to get back more into it lately myself, cause i'm trying to find my center more too.

  Also very much agree with Recoverer's advice.  And Ryan is just about one of the nicest and most sincere guys you'll ever meet and i agree with his post too.

Peace

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I've needed to do this for a while and even in just doing this, I feel a little bit better.

Regarding my thoughts on the afterlife, I do believe that our conscious/subconconcious does indeed carry on after death, I also believe in god.......but I also agree with the 'Origin of the Species'. Somewhere in the middle.

As for my thoughts on what I think is missing. It's hard to describe, I've always been able to make friends easily but I've never got the feeling that I "fitted in", I have issues with modern society and maybe the crux of the problem lies somewhere in there. However as I cannot change society, I must alter my outlook and find something more within me to feel 'landed'.

It's noticable that lots of people loose their way and think of themselves as someone else, this is where I don't fall into this category of people. I feel 'different' but not 'special' in a mysterious or important way. I looked into the Indigo child phenomena, but I didn't have any of the traits. Maybe meditation will help me dicover 'Who' I am.

Lastly, I have to say that I feel as if I have something to ask my inner self, just don't know what it is yet.

Thanks again

Your welcome.  Can relate a bit, growing up i always felt on the outside, like people thought i was strange, and sometimes i felt like an E.T or something.   I use to focus on this in the past, but realized that this was blocking my growth.  Part of my problem was my attitude towards others and myself.

  Its ok to have the feeling of being different, nothing wrong with that, as long as it doesn't create a separation in your mind and heart with your brothers/sisters.  That some are farther along the path is obvious and evident, but the attitude i've been trying to cultivate in the last few years is, "so what?" and "we're all in this crazy boat of life together."

You're very right, and its heartening to hear you don't think of yourself as "special".   That's one the problems i've had with the "indigo" theories which have been promoted a lot lately...  They can make for some pretty powerful illusion traps, because alot of it is based on being different than others.

  Lol anyways, a lot of us have had our grandiose moments but some are just a bit more self honest about it.  The thing is, is that we are All Grand with the same Potential, though not always the same patterns.

Peace

Hi Lost,
you wrote:

This is familiar to me, as I grew up with scientific background and I am still interested in natural science, despite my explorings of the afterlife. The clue for me is, there is no exclusiveness of believing in the afterlife and believing in science. Natural science facts have passed through filters to get objective facts. Consciousness don't pass the filter, so natural sciences are not dealing with consciousness. Some natural scientists say the opposite, but only show a fundamental lack in philosophical thinking. I tell you this because I think the belief systems which occur from misunderstood science and from scientists who talk about things which are not subjects to science do have a big potential in misleading people and can block the doors of perception.
Bye, Spooky
