Hi Mj,
I would be curious then what you get if you asked the most expanded guidance under the ideal circumstance of opening to the remembrance of love about your experience re: ACIM? If you ever do so, i would be interested in what you got.
I don't want to focus on the above book right now though, but i will stay more generally on the topic as related to what Albert and i have been saying.
I agree with Albert that ill intentioned beings ultimately cannot force us against our will per se, and he is right attuning to PUL keeps us strong and protected, but attuning to PUL isn't always such an easy matter when various unconscious and conscious blocks are involved.
This is what you wrote on another thread, i will highlight the relevant parts to this thread and what we've been trying to point out about the issue of negative influence.
It is perhaps a mistake to underestimate the potential influence and cleverness of certain kinds of lacking in Light beings. This is what you wrote about your own experience, and like i've said, i've also have had similar experiences as the below--particularly in relation to the issue of suicide.
Quote:She told me that she saw an evil presence on her property several times. At the time I listened, but didn't believe her. She told me she had been awakened plenty times by this "presence" in her house. I really didn't refute anything she said but didn't really believe it.
A few years later I had the opportunity to visit her and was invited to stay in her home. As soon as I walked on the property I felt something very strange. A few weeks later, I fell into a deep depression and felt "pulled" into leaving the house in the middle of the night to commit suicide in the lake off the property. It was very dark and I had never been near the lake during the daytime. It took all my inner-strength to walk away from the edge that night. To this day, I have no idea what was going on.
A few months after I left the woman's son committed suicide in the house where I slept. I later learned she has had several family members commit suicide. I have PTSD and have experienced depression and anxiety throughout my life since surviving my abuse; however, I have NEVER felt so lost, confused and "out of control" as I did while on that property. I have never returned there.
It sounds like you personally felt the potential very strong influence of an extremely lacking in Light consciousness. We in-physicals don't often see this clearly, but guidance has told me that most suicides involve the influence of strong, clever, and quite lacking in Light influences.
Would you think it is safe to assume that these same kind of nonphysical and/or E.T. forces and intelligences just might take part in helping to develop brainwashing courses, misleading spiritual teachings, and the like in order to limit and negatively influence people?
I mean, if they get off on "helping" people to take their lives, then partaking in the above would be fairly easy on their part as well.
Albert and i are trying to point out the depth of the issues and problems involved with this largely unconscious issue. Most people are simply too scared, unconsciously and/or consciously, to deal with this side of reality openly.
Eric here wrote recently about an experience wherein he was in the physical space with another man, whom his guidance said was a "bad man", and felt like he had to get out of there fast and there was enough affect and negative impact that it took him awhile to collect himself. He had feared for his life.
He does not believe in strong lacking in Light beings though. If he checked with expanded Guidance, he would find out that this bad man that he temporarily tuned into, had created strong energetic connections to very lacking in Light consciousness. This is partially why he felt these emotions so strongly and why it was such a shaking/disconcerting experience.
This was just a fellow inphysical human with certain energetic connections. Most of these "bad people" don't hold a candle to a certain E.T. group that i've become aware of or certain nonphysical spirits.
I have no fear of these at all. This is partially why my guidance has made me aware of these in a more direct way. I've directly faced the shadow within myself and so i can easily face the shadow without. I have an unusual lack of fear within, which is why Expanded Guidance uses me to speak through,
because i also have no social fear. I don't care what others think or don't think of me like so many people do to some degree or another.
Hey, but what do i know. Linn, Caroline, and Caryl and their guidance teams (and mine) must be very off about me, since most people here don't agree with me. What has human history shown about what we the majority think of, feel towards, and do to the real teachers that come here? Anyone else willing to step up and take my place?
Pretty please? This job pays crap, and the material benefits really suck, and most throw stones at you. Sure, there is good karma points and all, but that gets put in escrow for later until i'm a certain "age".
Oh Lordy, if i didn't laugh, i might cry.
(ironic that i spent lifetimes wanting to be like my teacher)
