Topic: Believing you’re doing it versus fooling yourself..

I kept thinking about what Bruce had said, in his books and maybe here on the forum too. here’s what he said and it works for me...”believing that you are actually doing ...(fill in the blank) is the hardest part of doing it.

this pertains to doing retrievals, or trying to remote view, or talking to your deceased grandmother or self retrieval, you name it..its the same process of getting beyond the doubt that you are capable or doing it, or getting information which escapes your conscious mind in the here and now.

If you keep saying to yourself, “I can’t...I’m not capable..I’m not evolved enough...I’m less than so and so...I’m not in my last life...I’m not sensitive..I’m too logical....I’ll never do it...it’s too hard..these others are crazy....blah blah blah..we can talk ourselves right out of a splendid mind journey and actually have something which is experience to post here, to share. its what is real to you that matters, not to consensus agreement.

just try trusting yourself for once. PE is a good way to develop, as u can verify with your partner..allow room for initiatory failure and continue within trust.

if u don’t have a pe partner, ask for one to appear, see if that doesn’t knock your socks off when it happens.

as for the fear of fooling yourself, who here hasn’t played the part of a fool and survived? you get over your failures to stop feeling like an idiot when you’re willing to say let me try again..maybe this time it will work if I can just believe I am capable because I’m willing to try something different.

hi Ryan..you are one person I don't expect to give up easily, no matter what u do in life!

u just reminded me of something...I forgot to add something else Bruce said that helped me immensely...that was "to play along."

to play along as if it were real.
yet it wasn't just Bruce I learned this from. I was praying for a healing once...I must have yabbered at least 20 minutes trying to make it real...I know there were guides around..invisible..of course..is there any other kind? one of them said to pretend "as if" I already had my healing. same thing as playing along to me. as I just started pretending I got whomped by the knowing and the energy that I was healed.

a supremely happy feeling that lasted several days like walking on a cloud was this experience.

apparently, questioning too much is like having too much doubt...and blocks it.
love, alysia

thats cool Lydia, glad to hear it! all I can do is tell u what worked for me. go here http://www.afterlife-knowledge.com/articles.html

read appendix C guidelines for afterlife contact by Bruce.

it worked for me to follow every single point..was kind of surprised how easy it worked. also if u don't think you are really doing it, ask for some little bit of verification you can ask another or something only u would know perhaps. hoping for your success sincerely!

hi Blink! I admit I spent some time being the little choo choo train that said it could. I know everything is just perfect the way it is though..can't put that in words fer sure!
 
I enjoy your presence here!
