Arrested Development - Washed Away
In a Twin Flame relationship or any path to spiritual enlightenment for that matter, there may be times when we find that our feet are not so, firmly planted on the ground. Whether we are experiencing the essence of our divine compliment or getting to know each other’s higher selves, even the impeccable can find their heads in the clouds from time to time. It’s hard not to keep our heads out of the clouds when we are so full with this love that we have never known before, let alone - imagined. I know that Paula and I very often have to leap up in the air, to catch hold of the ropes of that big hot air balloon we tend to fly away in, when we are together or learning new things about who we really are. Therefore, it’s a good idea that either one or both of you, try and remain grounded while traveling the Twin Flame Path. If we are not grounded, the experience itself can (as we all know) tend to be so powerful or intense, that it just may fly away with your sanity, in that hot air balloon I was talking about.
The idea for this article came from an unexpected source, which is: Paula’s psychic that she frequents every so often. Anyway, on her first visit to the psychic, the first words out of her (the psychic’s) mouth was, “You’re boyfriend – he, his spirit, is not from this dimension. And, when I see him, I see him up on the ceiling. Although, everything he does is psychic, he is not grounded. I see him up on the ceiling right now.” Note: The first line that this woman told Paula, was the spark that led to the meditations that put us in touch with our higher helves and The I AM Dialogues.
Taken literally or figuratively, the woman was correct - in both aspects. First, she was right that I was up on the ceiling because since I knew Paula would be starting her session at 2PM that day, I decided to journey there and have a quick peak to see how the session was going. However, as I came down (while journeying) through the roof of the psychic’s home, I got confused because it was a multi-level home, with a loft. Therefore, in the beginning moments, as I found my destination, I was literally stuck, wondering where I was. However, I quickly figured it out that I needed to go through another floor and eventually I had a seat right next to Paula, before swiftly departing. Then, secondly, the psychic was right about the fact that I am not always grounded. I was glad to hear this. I needed to hear it, because she is right. Everything I do is done psychically – even when I don’t realize it. Operating at this level, all the time, means that I am not grounded and can even be aloof.
Grounding – what does it mean to you, a tree and me? It means that we literally, keep our feet planted firmly on the earth. Keeping in touch with the trees, the grass, the ocean and the sea, may not be such a bad idea either. In fact, I recommend it highly. Although we are spiritual beings have a physical experience, while incarnate (in the flesh), we are still bound by the laws of physics in this 3rd dimensional reality. What is more, while our bodies are the vessels that our spirits our sailing, you must make sure your sailing ship is either moored or anchored to the bottom of the sea when you are not voyaging (another analogy at grounding). For, when we fail to keep our vessels tidy, they can either sink or float away on us and we don’t want that.
Grounding in the mental aspect, means to me, that we remember that we are all people and regardless of what nationality we may be, what shape or size we are, what physical or spiritual abilities we possess or what layer of the onion we are from, we have incarnated for the souls purpose of experience. Therefore, mentally, we must keep ourselves in check – grounded! No matter who we are, we are all living through this moment of NOW. For, in this moment of nothing but NOW, it is our choice to either bring our suitcases full of all our past follies or simply leave them behind. Regardless of whether or not we are on the Twin Flame Path or even The Shamanic Warrior Path, it makes no difference; there simply wouldn’t be enough room in the cargo hold of your SOUL to bring all those suit cases full of ifs, ands & buts, back to the spirit realm, anyway.
For instance, I have spent way too much time in this life going over missed opportunities that I could have seized, when the time was at hand. There were times when I would be so hard on myself and beat myself up (mentally) for not doing the right thing, even when I knew what that right thing was. Staying grounded mentally means living in the now, because the past is gone and there is nothing we can do to change it. Why beat yourself up, mentally, when there’s nothing we can do to change an event that has already occurred. However, be sure to keep tabs on those experiences you missed, because a missed opportunity in the past, will surely present itself again in your future. Just remember not to be bogged down with those missed opportunities or follies you have made while travelling this path.
Spiritually grounding yourself is also very, very important because without grounding physically or mentally, we may find ourselves, aloof. What is more, while we may succeed in journeying even without proper grounding, we may never be able to perceive what we are experiencing to its fullest, in either reality or dimension. When we practice spirituality, i.e. praying, journeying, meditating, channeling or (even better) BEING with your divine compliment, we must remember to keep grounded. When we ground ourselves, we must do so, first – physically, second – mentally and third – spiritually, all the while realizing we are bound, (incarnate) by the grade school laws of this third dimensional reality we find ourselves.
The procedure for grounding spiritually is like a recap of grounding physically and mentally. The difference is that, now, we are adding the intent to go inward and connect with the higher self or The I Am. Physically and mentally grounding yourself means that you have both feet on the ground – physically and your mind in the now (free of excess baggage), therefore enabling your spirit to be cleared for takeoff. So, have you decided where you would like to go, who you would like to see and if so, what questions would you ask?
Example: Let us say that you are on a journey to find your higher self and you have your feet or buttocks for that matter (whichever position is more comfortable for you) planted firmly on the ground. You are looking for something natural to connect to – a something homegrown from mother earth herself. Next, you clear your head of all those suitcases full of past follies realizing that you cannot take them with you anyway. Then, you decide you are ready to embark on what may be the most beautiful journey you have ever experienced, (next to finding your twin ;) which is the discovery of your higher self.
Remembering the 3 principles discussed and having discovered by experience, what “spiritual” meditation works best for you, you may be ready to go inward and find what that place called heaven is and what it’s really all about.

Contact
by Brendan
5/16 – 6/3/2009
When we hear the word “Contact,” in regards to life from other galaxies, images of aliens in spaceships landing on the front lawn of the White House or Tri-pods abducting people, bombard the psyche. Another example of how Contact has been so misguidingly packaged for us by the mass media and Hollywood is that we need to have some sort of sophisticated time travel machine or rocket just to get us to that place, before contact with the spirit world or extraterrestrial life is even possible. Have you ever wondered why it is always them versus us? Have you ever wondered why we are constantly being shown that in order to meet life in those other realms, we must travel in some ridiculous, manmade vehicle that the honest and every day citizen would never have any hopes of taking a ride in anyway? If Shakespeare were alive today, I believe he would say, “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” Well, I believe I know why. It is because they don’t want that honest and average every day citizen, like you, me and everybody we know, that each of us possesses that vehicle that we may utilize to make contact. That vehicle, ladies and gentlemen - IS OUR SOUL!
By going within and reconnecting with the higher self, we are ensuring that the initial “Contact” will first be made by YOU, looking no further than at your very own reflection in the mirror. Once we see who we are as spirits and or light bodies and embrace that, then we can look into the eyes of our Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, Son, Daughter, Friends and neighbors – who, by the way, are all from the stars.
If we ponder the memories, and reflect back over our lives, we will see that nothing has ever come easy. So, why should any of us expect the great gods from the sky to come swooping down from the clouds in a fiery wheel with thunder and smoke in an effort to enlighten us? We shouldn’t, and they will not. They will not present themselves in this way because Contact works in quite the opposite way in which we were lead to believe. In other words, it is up to us to reach out and make contact. By going within we will find that our vehicles to the spirit world have nothing to do with time machines, rockets or anti-gravity devices. The real time machines are our souls and in order for us to make that Contact, we must make contact with our own kind, first. If we cannot accept a man, no matter what, regardless of his race, color and creed, then how are we to accept our own true selves – the spirit self – which may or may not look anything like we do, now.
Take myself for instance; and I will never forget the day. That was the day I really went inward and made contact with my higher self. And what an amazing day it was! I didn’t know who or what I would find – but I journeyed without any false pretenses or expectations and in doing so, I discovered my past, my present and my future. However, most importantly, I discovered the higher self of my divine sweetheart, who was there and waiting to greet me – all things beyond my wildest dreams.
When I look back on my own Irish Catholic belief system, I am seeing the beginning of a great truth and the ending of a great truth. However, after becoming one with my higher self and becoming one with the spirit world, I must say that something, somewhere along the way, went missing. Somewhere in the middle of what I was taught in Sunday School, I began to realize that there are many missing chapters to The Greatest Story Ever Told. What is more, somewhere in those missing chapters, there is an even greater truth that was left out, and that is the fact that the spirit world is far more mysterious than what we were lead to believe. There are levels upon levels that exist within the spirit realm and it begins right here on Earth – the school for our souls. Then, as we evolve past duality, into oneness, we become closer and closer to the light - that is the truth – GOD! However, along the way to oneness with the light of God, we will have the opportunity, as long as we continue to grow spiritually, to live many other experiences through many other forms of consciousness, until one day, we are nothing but light.
Instead of waiting around for Contact to come to us, we must instead be the ones who will reach out. However, before we reach out we must go within and make that initial contact with our own true spiritual selves – the higher self. Embracing your higher self is a very intimate way of getting to know and understand the spiritual world that exists within you and is all around you – every single moment of this incarnation. However, it doesn’t have to necessarily happen in that order. Many people have found their higher selves without the aid of another, while others may find their spiritual self upon meeting their divine other half.
Contact is being made every day now. Contact is made when we go within and meet our higher self. Contact is made when we look into the eyes of our Twin Flame for the very first time. And, Contact will be made by complete strangers, from all walks of life, that without having discovered their own true spiritual selves, would ordinarily have nothing in common. However, when people see themselves as more than just the cover on a book, dualism crumbles.
The Contact that has long since been awaited and prophecied about, is here and it is spiritual in nature.
The initial idea/inspiration for this article came about from reading how so many people are out there and waiting for contact. Many are even waiting to be saved by the next coming. Well, we can wait around, watching the skies for mother ships or spend too much time wondering who and when that next messiah will be and will walk again. No, I wouldn’t invest too much time in that. For, if we look at human history and even how it has been presented to us with a nice little bow around it, we will see that more of the same is in store, unless we are the ones to reach out and intend to make contact, first. We are those beings from “out there,” and we are, each one of us, the next Messiah, if we wish it to be so. That goes for EVERYBODY!
As a final note to this article, I just wanted to say that, “While mankind builds bigger and better rocket ships to go deeper into space; while UFO investigators track down and study the latest crop circles; while NASA invents a stronger – more powerful telescope to see deeper into the physical aspects of the cosmos, do you know that the life out there that you seek, is really in here; within our own souls?”
