I sure can understand that
very well! I’m kind of like that too
My question to you would be:
Do you really need to
see to believe that something exists?
This will seem slightly off-topic but do read until the end and you’ll
see what I mean…
So, yesterday night, I felt compelled to read some passages in Robert Bruce’s new version of Astral Dynamics before bedtime, and this interesting passage (on page 1) first caught my eyes:
‘‘What is your mind and where is your memory? You cannot take your finger and point to where these are. Our best scientists cannot tell us, but we know they exist.’’
‘‘We know they exist’’, says Robert Bruce. We ‘know’ the mind exists and we ‘know’ the memory exists, even though I don’t think it’s yet possible to
see the mind or
see the memory… At least not in the physical as far as I know. Yet, we do experience, in our lives, every day,
manifestations of what we call the mind and the memory that lead us to
believe that yes, surely they exist.
These manifestations may be of a very subtle kind and one may need to train one’s eyes to pay attention to these in order to actually ‘see’. Then again, one has to look inwardly to find one’s very own ‘truth’, since outwardly, in my opinion (take it or don’t), our perceptions still come into play. For instance, you ‘see’ that you get accurate information (manifestation) and then think it
may be because you tune in to a guide (perception); or you ‘see’ that you get accurate information (manifestation) and think it
may be because you tune in to the Akashic library (perception), etc. Both may be possible, but based on that alone, one can hardly tell,
outwardly, which one is closest to the ‘truth’.
However, if you still want and need to draw
conclusions by looking
outwardly, then the option left may be to gather as much accounts as possible of such ‘manifestations’. This is what reading this page in RB’s book made me think of:
‘‘Memories do not exist in the physical brain (conclusion drawn).
Any part of the brain can be removed without removing any memories.(manifestation) Half the brain can be removed without losing any memories in an operation called a hemispherectomy. People who have this operation before they have completed puberty will recover with only a slight limp. There is no impairment of short term and long term memory (manifestation). So where are the memories stored? (missing data)’’
Conclusions drawn in such abstract fields still seem like perceptions
to me. (But that's
my perception
) It is of course impossible to take the
whole reality into account, and we naturally interpret the missing data (conclusion) which then lead to possibilities,
theories. However, this is the best approach we may have to come closer to the ‘truth’ in such fields (outwardly) and in that sense, Robert Bruce's passage may indeed be touching the 'truth'...
To put it simply (back to the topic!), you may for instance try to ask questions to your ‘possible guides’ and then try to see if you get any answer, in some form or another. Write down your observations, whether you think or not that what you observed was a manifestation of their presence. Train yourself to ‘see’ while remaining open to as many possibilities as possible, even those you don’t like. Then let your intuition tell you what rings true to you. Further inner study, as you say… It’s difficult but perhaps you’ll find that it’s worth the trouble...
...Now, I promise not to write again such a lenghty reply in this thread
