Ian said: But yet I do seem to get pretty clear guidance i think. I called it a 'knowing' earlier, but your description of a thought that could be your own but has this still, steady, peaceful and unemotional (but not cold) quality to it sounds very familiar Kathy.

Kathy is describing still, steady, peaceful and unemotional (but not cold) state of being I can most identify with as guidance, but it's beyond guidance to me. this is the best description in as few words as possible, that I have come across.
I do liken this state to "eye of the storm quiet."

a very powerful state, yet not pushy powerful, just knowing what to do at all times is perfect, the way is made smooth.

not cold, but implies warmth. warmth associated with PUL. or love, like love but beyond what is loving superficially, also encompassing that knowing, perhaps empathic knowing, when we are seeing our oneness, rather than our separation from each other.

In this state, when it occurs for me, time slips away quickly because it is so enjoyable there, and yet tasks get done on time.

here's a Zen? saying: what happens before enlightenment?
chop wood, carry water
what happens after enlightenment? chop wood carry water.

the only difference is the pleasure derived from chopping wood and carrying water is so much more...

yes Bets! please tell us what u think.

Hi Romain, glad u are here again. you know, when I first read what Bruce said there it hit me square in the face how important it is that we can trust the perception and that does accelerate this spiritual journey, when it begins to happen again. these glimpses we can get.

Hi,

Do you suppose that this experience might teach you something about how Guidance communicates with you?  Do you suppose it might also help you begin to trust your perception of this kind of communication when recognize it in the future.  Do you suppose your "spiritual Journey" would be assisted perhaps accelerated as a result.

Yes, the experience that Bruce led me through hit me so hard that all I could say was 'yes' to each of those questions !  Mainly the result is that I can now fully trust Guidance !
Even within that brief half-year of house-images, I couldn't get a sense of how Guidance worked until Bruce showed it step by step. Now I can see that even if I don't fully understand each cause, the result will be the best  I could ever imagine--or better than what I'd imagine, I mean.
Looking back over my life I can see some of the trails that Guidance was laying out. But I kept going off the trails, sometimes in fear of where they might be leading, sometimes just to see if I could do it better my way. (The 'Fool'?)  To me I seem very mild but I now see I've been very onery with Guidance. 
Will power now seems to me to be a focussed energy useful for Earthly concerns. I am done with using it to try to deny or twist what Guidance was telling me.

One of the most effective moves my Guidance has made was to bring me to this site. Thank goodness I didn't fight off that direction!  You all are real and I learn so much from seeing how you all build your wisdom by following spiritual guidance.
My gratitude goes out to you all, Bruce, and Guidance!

Thank you for the reply.
Much love;Romain

I can't quite see you as onery Bets, but maybe you can be.

these images can still be vague, almost like teases. almost always I feel a nudge to record the image while it's happening, so I can also record it in C1.

I've decided to start working with my voice activated tape recorder again and see what happens. Lord, I have the funniest voice ever when I'm half asleep..to listen to it, it's emotional and curiously childlike and a detectible sense of humor.

might want to try that tape recorder..there is a need to repeat the first word as there's a delay before it starts rolling with the voice activated ones.

I remember when I saw my houses way back then, I just forgot all about them but I had recorded them on the puter.
I then got distracted about where I was going to live, I read a book about becoming an expatriate in Mexico, got fired up about that, started researching property (price is right) took spanish language lessons for awhile, and then ended up in NEW Mexico, where those house images were.

Also spirit works in strange ways...the spanish teacher advised me a woman living alone in Mexico, even if in an American community, is perhaps something I might want to rethink. there was something about the way he said that, I knew it was true.
so sometimes these images are just not real enough to consider they are actually guidance working, until after the fact, and we draw the connecting lines, then we wow ourselves...
