Spit, glad to see you are holding on to that .1 %.  You might have to play that hand someday.

On the lighter side... You reminded me of a funny story I heard about W.C. Fields.  A friend went to visit him on his death bed.  The friend noticed that Fields was reading a Bible.  The friend said, what are you doing reading that bible?  Your not religious, you haven't gone to church or prayed, a day in your life!  Fields said, "I'm looking for loop holes".  lol

Sasuke,
     You said,
"I've tried really hard to do retrievals and stuff like that, but every time I start to feel anything I kind of..."spook" myself out of it, I guess? But that's really interesting, anyway... "

Well, it sounds like you are feeling some emotions while you are "practicing" and that's okay.  I feel emotions too sometimes.  There really is nothing to be "spooked" about.  No one "there" will harm you, in my own personal opinion.  When you come from your heart, in a spirit of love, there can be no wrong.  I do believe this.  And I think it's very good to support yourself with other types of meditation as well.  I think it "boosts" my personal energy in waking life also.

Alysia

I was not sure about posting this because it is such a personal experience - but I believe that it is a living experience of PUL for want of a better word.  I call it LOVE but it may be more than that because sometimes its very difficult to feel love in the situation that my family is in.

I am nursing my 49 year old husband through the final stages of a terminal illness and he is not always easy to manage.  When he was first diagnosed I agreed to nurse him at home but sometimes found it very difficult because he was very angry, nasty and lashed out at everyone.  However after coming onto this and Linn's forum I decided to change the way I looked after him - instead of doing it grudgingly and with resentment I decided to do it with LOVE - hard as that was when he was rejecting everything I cooked for him and did not cooperate with me in any way.  Nothing was said verbally but by changing how I felt in my heart, his attitude changed COMPLETELY and life was much better in our household, which included three teenagers.  Nursing gets harder day by day as he is now up at least three to four times a night and I can get extremely grumpy - if I let myself - but consantly remind myself to keep LOVE in my heart.

This is what happened yesterday.

Last night I "forgot" to give him his pain medication.  Too much happened around the time that he was supposed to receive it - dinner, him needing to go on the nebuliser, refusing to eat what I gave him, having three kids waiting for their dinner - you know -  the usual.  After I handled all that, I gave him his dinner and took my 12 year old out shopping cos she wanted new sandals.  Shari, my 16 year old is my right hand woman and looks after her Dad for me when I'm out.  When I got back she was waiting at the door all distraught.  The story was that she was in one room at one end of the house and he was in the bedroom.  He was in great pain and realised he had forgotten the tablets and tried to shout out for her.  She didn't hear.  He then used the intercom on the phone but was not able to do it properly.  When she finally ran in to him he flung the phone against the wall and hurled abuse at her.  I think she handled it very well.  When I got home I went in and had a little word with him about putting  so much pressure on his daughter.  HOwever he was in incredible pain such that I had to eventually call in the palliative care people to administer morphine via an injection.  All this time I sat with him projecting PUL to him and trying to calm him down while we waited for the injection to work. I did all of this non-verbally.  I was also greatly helped by PUL that I had received from Rob_Roy (but that's another story) and able to send out stronger love to John. 

This morning I took him to his only outing of the week - to the betting shop to place his bets.  Next to the betting shop is a florist.  He said to me "look at that bunch of flowers?"  my reply "yeh, what about them"?  He said "buy them for Shari - I was very nasty to her last night and I need to apologise".  I eventually bought her a box of chocolates.  He called her to sit down with him and said to her "Shari - this is for you - I'm sorry I shouted at you last night".  She was dumbfounded - they both hugged and kissed - something very rare with him and had me in tears because this is the first time I have seen him apologise.  He has always had the attitude "I'm dying so what the hell do you guys have to whinge about?"


I believe that the PUL you give out eventually comes back one hundred fold to engulf you!!

Love - Irene

I've always seen human motivation (even of the
highest sort) as an act of... well, I won't say it is
ALWAYS a form of exploitation, but it usually is.
(Even the person who devotes their entire life
to "PUL" is looking to get something out of the
deal - like a higher "position" in the afterlife.)
Even where there is no stick, there is ALWAYS
a carrot if you look for it. Funny, eh?
I'm sure that even Ghandi would have been less
of a "saint", if he expected to go to "Hell" or the
"underworld." Ghandi was looking out for #1 in
the end.
Not that there's anything WRONG with that! Self-interest gets a way worse rap than it deserves, IMHO. (Notice how free enterprise leads to a higher standard of living for EVERYONE - even the poor - than communism has historically?)

P.S. "Poor Sod?" I take it you're an Englishman then.
Brits seem to be a more skeptical lot than us Americans... where I come from, Christian fundies are as thick as flies. How's the "fundie" or "non-freethinker" situation like across the pond then? Do you find yourself surrounded by credulous cretins, like I do where I live..? (I must say, I'm appalled by the direction MY country's been headed in... to be a thinker is to be a sinner, or so it seems.)

going off my own experience, is that Blink, or myself even, are not obligated, nor motivated to retrieve anyone by anyone's request because we have no need to offer proof..from what I have picked up on Blink, she operates from PUL to offer to you a little hope. u expressed your gratitude and so let's drop the subject.


As i have said, you believe in "PUL" lets examine what that means, pure "unconditional" love. you believe it? yet your not willing to put it into practice?

are u angry with me? I don't know where you're coming from. you have no reason to take your anger out on me. u seem to think the world owes you proof. nobody owes you anything. I'm just happy about one thing I saw in you earlier, that u said you were grateful. gratefulness is really close to PUL, and that's what this thread is about; PUL. so lets leave off on your little snide put downs, ok? lets keep on topic. you are a member here and I am a member here. makes absolutely no difference how long either of us have been yakking here, but I refuse to take you seriously if you are going to continually put me or anyone else down here. thats not why we are here.


Im not angry with you, im suprised that you were suprised the guy was'nt happy with what you said. it's like this, people were making posts when the tsunami hit, about them saving souls etc, flying around grabbing people, and all you get is a picture of a woman shopping? what woman does'nt like to shop?, somthing so importent requires an equal amount of proof to back it up. if a doctor said he had to chop your legs off, you would want to see some very strong  evidence, would you not


ok, enumerate my answers:
1) I make no claims..you make your own assumptions and call them claims


ok, so you dont claim "PUL" exists?, you dont claim theres an afterlife?, you dont claim were spiritual beings? everything you post revolves around your beliefs, and since i and alot of others, and never even had a tiny bit of what you claim, is it not right we should ask you to proove these things?.


wow. what a superb put down for me. essentially, you would rather I just hit the road and not be here? as you say I have no "right" to quote my own self? because I have no proof or person to back me up? oh, please, and may I please have your references also Spitfire? I didn't know they were required. I could go round up my references but I told you I'm not going to be the one to give you any proof of anything. 
good luck in trying to get what u need from any other person on this earth. I don't think it works that way. I suggest that reading books or study or meditation may help you learn to be a little more tolerant of others beliefs.


lol, sorry the hit the road part made me laugh. It was not ment as a personal attack against you my friend, it was merely a fact that everyone lives by even myself.
If you went to a church, and the vicar said you were going to hell for practicing the devils art would you believe him? no becuase there words with no basis in fact. if a huge red hand came from the sky and pointed at you....then you would probley take more time and thought over what he is saying.


what are u really saying? trust is implicent in the process. I wish u could experiment with trust more, I don't think u trust yourself, your own abilities to get the proof you need, but I think you have the power inside you to proceed. you seem very strong in your determination, so I wish u well. don't give up! thats all I can say about it.


actually, i trust myself very much, i need a high percent of proof for me to put my faith into anything or anyone. i simply dont believe your imagination can show you the afterlife, i give you the chance to prove me wrong, but your not willing to, so therefore i conclude i must be right. determination is a good quality becuase if you keep swimming long enough you will reach land, or for me, i will reach the truth, unfortunatly no one here seems to want to let me into the life raft, therefore i assume, you can only join the club if you dont question the captains orders. which for me to believe somthing, i must have trust in that captain.


I can tell that you have not read or understood Moen's books regarding the imagination useage. again, I wish u would, otherwise we are on two different wave lengths here and cannot have a productive conversation at all.


ive read all of robert monroes, i used to believe them to, until he said he met someone on earth who is 1000's of years old, and he started meeting umpa lumpa's. Sounds like somthing you could only dream up.


the proof is individualized and highly personal. to lay it out there like it happened is like risking abuse, such as I am getting from you right now, as you have no idea how I feel in your insensitivity towards me. it hurts frankly. but I am getting stronger in my emotional body all the time, so I can respond to you even knowing you're just going to shoot me down again if u get the chance. that strength inside me is my proof, that the path I'm on, from being affiliated here, from reading Monroe and Moen and other explorers here is the right one for me. the peace that comes from such exploration, from getting guidance too, all of it, is my proof..as the way you feel when u get up in the morning is the measure of your progress within spiritual areas. from what I can see from here, you seem to be hurting. I wish I could help. I know what its like to hurt so bad you want to kill yourself. I'm sorry. I think u may have some friends here who can help. I don't know. again, I wish u well on your journey.


Proof, that is only personal means it's often wrong. statistics and patterns, the ability to repeat a process is what adds validity to it. if anyone cant experience the exact same thing as you, then it's probley you making it up for yourself. we all experience pain in our lifes, would i take it away? yes probley. but would i still be the person i am? i dont think so. Sometimes we need our pain.
again im sorry you are taking things so personally, you really need to develope some skin madam, and if you need any help im here, you need me to explain any of my answers i will glad do so, for proof makes the world go round.


you know, as many times as you've said this statement Spitfire, you might do well in a clinical laboratory to begin measurement of abilities of mankind to perceive ESP, or any number of phenonmenon in our world.
I really don't think you will get any kind of proof from this forum that you are looking for. do u have someone on the outside whom you love? that is the best place to start to learn of the power of love to heal you from all hurt. I'm sorry you are so displeased with me. oh well, can't win em all, right?


actually, my eyes lite up when i heard about the afterlife telephone...yet it seems that idea's been scrapped. love (if there is such a thing) is ok, it does'nt heal, revenge does that quite nicely. Im not dis-pleased with you, and yes sometimes you may aggrovate me a little since proof is somthing that does not seem importent to you, but you really dont need to take it so personally, i like you and appreciate your company.

I'll agree, blink is great.
She made some interesting "possible" hits
with my cousin Pat a couple months back (I'm
sure you recall that..!)
Were they real contacts? I'll reserve judgement.
Perhaps she DID make some sort of "connection"
with your grandmother...
All of it says way more about BLINK though, than
it does about the reality of anything beyond this
material universe we find ourselves in. Perhaps
if more people could be like her, the world would
be a better place...

Hi Irene (and all other PUL fans&sceptics),

I always like to see when an attempt to go into a new attitude or new viewpoint creates appropriate situations. To put the ideas of PUL and/or the reports regarding that into practice is a way to look if there is some truth in it. And it's beautiful that it seem to work just fine for you.

Your report, Irene, also is a hint concerning the often posted opinion that finally all our deeds are motivated from an expected benefit for ourselves. This may be true or not (who can know unconscious motivations?), but when experiencing those things which are reported here on this website regarding PUL one don't want more than that. One can have the motivation to feel this for own pleasure, that may be called selfish, but once you are in it you don't want more than that like credits in your afterlife good-and-evil-book of life, or to be viewed from others as a good and respectable person. Those situations are the reward in itself. And I believe, when you got the trick to feel that and want to feel it again, this is on the one hand egoistic, but you can feel it only in situations in which you open up to your surrounding (even if it's in a meditation and you imagine to open up for this feeling) so that in the end your egoistic motivation to feel those PUL phaenomena meets altruism/openness and all is pretty fine- as I stated above, when you feel it in a situation where you treat someone friendly, loving, careful there is no longer a struggle between egoism or altruism, as Alysia often said, it's a win-win situation.

I remember something from the Bible, Jesus said (in my words) "When two come together in my name I will be amidst of you", and in this topic here it can mean when you come together open-minded, friendly, loving, helpful etc..., you can achieve a common situation where you are enclosed in this energy/feeling/force which you may call PUL or whatever.

Bye, Spooky

Thanks Spooky for your reply.

When I first decided to change my attitude towards John I did it mainly because of the situation at home and especially because I wanted to change John's attitude towards the way he treated our three children.  He was so angry and nasty to them - I wanted them to eventually remember him as the fun and loving dad that he had always been, not as this pain-filled nasty man. 

When you have children you always want the very best for them and are willing to go to great lengths to achieve that.  That was probably the main motivator for me to start using LOVE towards John in the hope that eventually I would change his attitude towards the children.  And from that decision  flowed all the other benefits.  John being calm and accepting of his grim future, even to the extent of finally talking to me about his death,  my children now have involved their father in everything they do (mostly by talking to him about it) and we are a much happier household, despite the fact that  we all know what the future outcome will be.  My children all actively help nurse their father and do so without questioning or resenting it, because he is so appreciative of what they do for him.  (BTW he still has to sometimes be reminded gently of this!!!)

So despite what a few have said here, PUL is not always used for what the PULer can gain for themselves.  When you're woken up three or four times a night and when you have to do "not so nice" nursing duties, the last thing on your mind is what benefit you are going to gain from PUL in this life or in the next!!!

Irene you are beautiful and I understand what u are creating in your home and that you still have to work at it so consistently, even thru your husbands pain, he remembers to be nicer to the kids, what more could you expect really? it really is the little things that count..what may look like a crumb of affection from another..is on another level a huge huge step in the right direction.

I'm so glad u had courage to post this, as you know, this place is really hard to lay it out there, and theres that risk that someone will not understand and say something rude and uncalled for, coming from their own painful life experiences.
it is my hope that folks will be able to express their selves here someday without feeling censored in any way or fearful of non-acceptance. non-acceptance is the absence of love. you have made my day Irene. actually, what you have shared makes two of my days at the least. love, alysia

Dearest Irene,

This is a very wonderful and joyous feeling of PUL, probably closer than most people on the forum have ever felt.  When I lived in Oregon, my housemate, Sharon, would channel Yeshua, Sananda, Archangel Michael, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene and others directly to me. My reaction was the same. Their channelings would take me to the higher planes and the love was so awesome that I would cry with an indescribable and incredible feeling of love unlike anything I've ever felt.  This is the PUL that is so very real and few feel it that strongly except in an altered state.

God Bless You dear One,
Mairlyn Wink

Irene,

I am so happy you decided to open up to everyone and share this story here.  I understand what you are saying there, and I understand what you are trying to create and it's beautiful.  I have tried this more than once with my own marriage (no, I don't have a dying husband, but he is not the easiet to get along with sometimes).  I know what you mean about doing it for the kids and for their relationship with their dad.  It is very important and it's a wonderful endeavor on your part.  I am glad you saw a happy direct result from it.  I do believe that even when we try our best in any endeavor, doing it with love in your heart is so very important.  I try to remember this all the time but I still have to remind myself.  Every once in a while I get nicely surprised with a wonderful direct result of my efforts, just as you did, and it is the best kind of reminder.  Good for you!  I can't imagine what you are going through, but I understand that it must be tough.  I am happy to know you.  You are a strong woman!

Spooky, I really like what you've said there. 

And Alysia, I agree.  It is very hard to put ourselves out there.  The benefit of growth is well worth overcoming the fear.  I have learned that myself here.  I know what a few of you think of me, but certainly not all.  But so far I feel safe to share myself here because the feedback I receive, whether positive or negative, is just what I'm looking for.  I guess the positive gives me confidence, and the negative keeps me grounded and humble.   I'm a Libra ya know.   Wink
