From a Psychic Viewpoint
Why Expectations are Important
The information a psychic receives and interprets is the same as how anybody processes information. If you basically are a person who is able to make allowances and to see the good in people faster than you focus in on negative aspects, your general outlook on life is likely to be easier to shoulder no matter who you are. If instead you were brought up with a preponderance of negativity about who you were and how you saw yourself as a person and never quite got out of that habit the likelihood of you perceiving life around you with a modicum of fear is pretty good.
What I am saying is your general outlook on life, in order to see a good and happy life around you even though there are miserable things happening is more apt to be positive rather than negative. You really have to force yourself into it sometimes.
You might ask, “Well, what about luck?” There might be good luck or bad luck in the way you see your life and the lives of everybody you know, but this is another one of those filters. Personally, I think you make your own luck depending on what you focus on. You draw it to yourself.
Filters, like a pair of rose-colored glasses is going to describe how you see life. Do you remember hearing disparaging comments about how somebody is viewing life through rose colored glasses? Like it was a bad thing? Like whoever had those glasses on was refusing to accept reality for what it was? Yep. We were a sensible bunch.
All I am saying is one way or the other is not bad. I have been in both camps. I began my journey being afraid. Gradually, as time went on, I began not be afraid anymore. At least not much. Certainly, it was less than I had been before.
I began to accept who I was. I began to play again. I began to ask myself, “What if?”
What I’d like to talk about is now that I’ve talked about the underlying filters we all possess, is how a fear of scary things can color the reality you see. The first thing I tell anybody who would like to be psychic is that they cannot be afraid. That is a rule. Because there will be unfamiliar things that happen to them. Those things can either be interpreted as frightening and bad or unknown and possibly joyous. It’s just new and unfamiliar.
Everything has a duality. The goal is to begin to see the sameness in the world. No more sides. No good and bad. It’s more like varying shades of both. Life is a milkshake.
However, it was my experience, and I would imagine this happens to a lot of people when they first begin to meditate is that they might see the scary stuff first. There are many ways to meditate. There is no perfect way. It is like your shoes. They all protect your feet. So, try them on. The basic idea is to train your thoughts to be quieter. To rest. To float. To relax. To be, however you interpret that.
In the beginning, because it is an unknown activity you will be faced with new perceptions. Like you might come from a tribe of folk who believe meditation is not the way to go. That meditation can only lead you down a road to unhappiness. Or that to meditate you need someone else to tell you what it is you are experiencing. Like a priest or a minister who is more qualified to tell you the ways of God.
If that’s what you think, then do as they say. And don’t meditate like they advise or tell them everything that you’ve been experiencing as you meditate, and they can tell you the thousand and one reasons why it is dangerous. Or not.
When I began to meditate, I had a hard time with it. I could not keep my focus and it was really hard to get all my inner thoughts to quiet down and give me a little peace. But I kept trying.
Finally, it began to work. What did I see? Scary shit. It was scary. By then I was channeling and asked my spirit guide Seth about it. He said to continue trying to meditate and it would get easier. It did get easier. Since then, I’ve heard people say it’s why they call it the practice of meditation, just because you never quite achieve the total subsummation of yourself into the universe. You continue to try and you can have some pretty wonderful experiences, but it takes practice. It is a training.
As you become more accustomed to the act of meditation those scary things will fall by the wayside. It was just your subconscious protecting you anyway.
It’s the same the first time you have to get in front of a group of people and talk. Fear of public speaking is one of those big frightening things a lot of people are faced with. The first time you stutter and say uh a lot to fill in the gaps of silence. After some time of practicing public speaking, you get better at it. Meditation is the same thing. It gets easier as time goes by.
I have always preferred to go my own way and I moved away from folks who thought they knew what was best for me early on in my life. Sure, I was still frightened by a lot of things, but as the years went by, as I’m sure you have experienced too, it might have all begun to make sense for you.
It’s called the school of hard knocks. So, people betray you. They stab you in the back. You experience a run of bad luck and ask why? How do you begin to turn the pit of unhappiness you find yourself in around?
You can set yourself a goal. That life is interesting rather than frightful all the time. Or even some of the time. And you want to see the more joyful parts of living.
You look for the good in people. You will find it just as if you expected the bad in people to surface more quickly.
Have you ever been with somebody who complains a lot? You make the comment that the day is pretty. They counter with all the reasons why the weather is unpleasant for them. They tell you how the humidity is murder on their hair, how the heat makes their feet swell. You suggest that laying down and elevating their feet might bring them some relief, but this person is so dead set about seeing negatives everywhere they look you quickly determine you cannot spend any more time around them. If this happens to be a relative, I am sorry.
It’s like running into a psychic who says you should do this, or you should do that and if you don’t you can expect a hard life. If a psychic says that to you, pay them what they asked, say thank you and do what you want to do. The only thing that is wrong is their filter is a bit smudged. The future is not set in stone. Be the one in control of your life.
Mostly? You don’t have to be afraid.
