............................ Sandcastle joined.............

Lydea

k, so I'd like to explain some things first before we go full tilt into this.

first off, it works really well for me if you'd all let me type like crazy to finish some thoughts before asking some questions

Lydea

I'll stop to ask for questions, so don't worry I'm not forgetting you

Quinn

ok

Lydea

secondly, does everyone have a paper and pen/pencil handy

............................ lila joined.............

Lydea

welcome lila and Sandy

Lydea

okay so here is how I'd like to approach this

Sandcastle

Hi everyone:-)

Lydea

I think that for everyone to feel comfortable examining their images it would be best to view this as a great adventure, ala Indiana Jones style. We are embarking on a rather great & glorius adventure where mystery lurks around each corner, with wonder and awe we approach ourselves learning more and more each and every moment. We can use each other as sounding boards and supports on this journey as we go deep within to see what has not been revealed to us before

Lydea

Everybody Ready

Sandcastle

:-)

mamb

yes

Quinn

yep

Aurelia

Lydea

The important thing to remember is that whatever is revealed in as much a part of you as your arm, leg, fingers or toes. So just as you look at your arm sometimes in curiosity, we will look at our images in that way also. Images are simply a collection of beliefs & thoughts that often limit us from fully experiencing the flow of life. Lfe is energy and where ever we block that energy and hold it, it manifests in a psychological block, physical block or spiritual block. Many of our images appear as blocked energy

Lydea

Some of our long held images are generational, some of them are personal based on our upbringing and some are universal images much of humanity holds to be true an image has this rather sneaky way of appearing to be absolute truth and it's only as we begin to examine these images that we see that it is quite possibly only true for us.

Lydea

so let us dive into ourselves in this moment and explore our personal images. Get your paper out and write down the following statement. Where ever there is a blank be sure to fill in the blank with your own answer, usually the first answer that comes to you

1. Men are........................................

2. Women are............................................

3. Healing means......................................

4. Being healed means.......................................

5. Work is............................................

Lydea

so working on those 5 statements fill in the blanks and if anyone would like to share their answers please do

Aurelia

Stones77HOST

1. life mates, 2. life mates 3. love 4. acceptance. 5 satisfying

Lydea

Quinn how about you?

Lydea

the reason we explore the images is we are seeking to understand why certain aspects of our lives don't go very well. For example, some of you may have relationship problems over and over againso we start to explore what it means to be in a relationship with another or we can look at your beliefs abou the opposite sex. Another good one for some people is to look at this question

To be spiritual I must.................................

Stones77HOST

wow, i would have given a totally different answer to that question lydea.

Lydea

or this one

To be a healer I will need to do...........................

Lydea

k Stones like what?

Stones77HOST

i would have said to the spiritual question, that i am to follow the directions of the Light, no matter what.A nd the same answer for the next question as well.

Lydea

okay

Lydea

so for me as I began to explore the question of healer & spiritual I began to come across strong resistance and still do with the spiritual part. My concepts of being spiritual are grounded in part because of the Catholic church

Lydea

the belief I was raised with was that to be spiritual meant giving up on all material things, isolating yourself in a convent and spending a heck of a lot of time on your knees

lila

lol

Lydea

quite surprisingly I don't groove on becoming too spiritual

Stones77HOST

lol

mamb

and guilt. Lydea..

Lydea

because this is all seems so icky so for me the statement is answered in this way, to be spiritual means I will have to give up things I like

Aurelia

bummer

Lydea

so now what am I going to do? You begin to see the Image is blocking me from my true soul purpose here. Before I go on, is everyone still with me?

mamb

yes

Stones77HOST

yes

Dreamtime

yes

Quinn

yes, and agree
