Speaker 0 00:00:00 Welcome to the GuideWithin podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Jacqueline, Senator, and we'll be discussing consciousness, spirituality, and integrative health. I look forward to sharing these topics with you, so stay tuned.
Speaker 0 00:01:09 Welcome to the GuideWithin podcast. In this episode, we will be discussing spirits of the unseen world in a celebration of autumn and the seasons. It's that time of year when we are invited to stretch far back into the old world where witches varies, Ghosts, goblins, and pagans roam the countryside wild and free. It is true that the old world views practice so long ago still spark imaginations inviting us to ravel in the magic of an ancient mystery. Being gifted with special sight, having visions, or seeing unexpected guests is not unusual. Paranormal occurrences happen throughout the year, not just when the veil is thin. Yet there is something mysterious about this special time of year that opens us to the explore the unseen. Having that understanding lets us value the invisible treasuring, the wisdom gained from the natural world around us. I grew up learning that the world was made of both spirit and matter, and it is true that at certain times the barrier between magical, invisible and the rock solid visible blends together or rather comes out of nowhere and surprises everybody.
Speaker 0 00:02:46 It's in this mystery that we call forward at this time of year tending to our ancestors' memories and remembering the unknown distant relatives, ancestors, or people from next door, a century back could come and easily pay a visit during this mysterious time. Messages and recognitions of to those that support us could be felt. It often means we experience more if we are open to it. This is the time when things can be seen that are usually hidden. For some people this may feel unnerving, especially if an apparition or disembodied spiritual experience has been unexpected. The unknown is often scary because it is by its nature the unknown that's scary enough. Sometimes feeling unprepared for any encounter can feel scary. Many cultures throughout time mirrored the idea of shared space with spirit beings. We are blessed to have this opportunity to open our minds to learn about those different traditions.
Speaker 0 00:04:13 It is amazing to see how often the same phenomenon is reported by completely different groups and a share uncanny similarities. Spiritual phenomenon is not uncommon, not inherently dangerous either. Most paranormal experiences are reported to be non-threatening. That's not to say that there aren't uncomfortable experiences. The disembodied spirits within the encounters appear to be no different than their embodied county parts. The world, both spiritual and material, seems to be filled with all sorts of characters. It appears that the spirit world is in some way superimposed on the living field of materiality, the wave of communication that takes place through our dreams, visions and sensations are happening as we allow our psychic apparatus to develop and navigate the field of this awareness. How we awaken and take guidance or direction from this field of awareness largely depends on our level of comfort. For some people, the spiritual world is interwoven within their blood.
Speaker 0 00:05:27 Through myth, ritual and wards passed through stories at home, others learn through studies of the metaphysical and still more watch unsure what to make of what no one is talking about and therefore ignore it. We become comfortable with this type of enhanced vision within our experience of the field of awareness through meditation. As we learn to stay grounded in our sense of self, we become confident in our being. We claim our inner space from which we witness the field of awareness around us, safe, grounded, and empowered. This is the time of year when magic is a foot beyond stories of goblins or bags of treats. True magic awaits. It could arrive synchronistically, an unexpected call from a wrong number that's an old friend acquaintance, a book falling open to the exact page that gives advice to the problem that you've been trying to solve. A sign, a song, a stranger's conversation, finding what we need.
Speaker 0 00:06:42 Unexpectedly magical timing and cycles were integrated in daily life by the ancients. It made their lives an extraordinary adventure. They thought about how they related to nature through the turning of the seasons and celebrated them. We can remember to honor this timing too. We can continue honoring traditional awareness of natural seasonal pathways. It is an opportunity to reconnect to that part of our ancestral past. Those pathways may have blessings to give something in a subtile connection that comes like a feeling on the wind that brings us back to our roots. Reflecting during this time may take the form of an altar space with a lit candle, an invitation to the magic, to peek through the veil, lifting all the spirits higher. Those we love and those who have passed can reach through to us through their heart cord. We can celebrate in that feeling and allowing it to get stronger as a beacon of light.
Speaker 0 00:08:00 Within this space, we may remember a memory that sparks love and wisdom within us. This inspiration may come to us across the ether to send us encouragement and support and act that validates love is eternal and we are never alone. There are many ways we open up to the spirit world. The best is while connecting with our inner self. This is the time when people traditionally did such things. It could be that we always have the opportunity that the veil is never in the way. This is true for those who cultivate a sense of connected awareness for others. Being open to be entertained by the supernatural is a novelty. While others have yet to authentically experience the phenomenon, it is an ever area ripe for research. While we are interested in the paranormal or not, learning to feel grounded in spiritual aspects of ourselves is liberating.
Speaker 0 00:09:11 There are some basic spiritual guidelines that can help facilitate a sense of inner peace and clarity. First, claim the sovereignty of your inner space through calm, breathing, invoke divine protection. Knowing it is presently, instantly be present and witness the phenomenon with a loving detachment. It may take some practice to understand the capability of our psychic apparatus. Meditation and spiritual practices along with dreaming, can help to strengthen these intuitive connections. Each of us has this ability, even if not utilized, many people discover this natural talent only when there is an emergency or a life threatening event that pushes them to look and accept miracles. The spiritual realm is dancing among us. Our common streets we have only to notice. The veil is thinning to see what shadows shift out into the light. Believing the magic of the deathless life seen in its continuous flow of endless reunions around the wheel of time, it strikes a chord, melts fear and inspires hope to go forward. Spirits reach us through the radio song A bird's feather or an unexpected synchronicity. Explore the possibility that spirit might bring upon the wind this season. Magic arrives for those who wait with expectations on dreams made real imagine what surprise might be given as treats from our expanded world made the thinning of the veil spark mystery, magic, and fun into this atomal season. Thank you for listening and I must stay.
