Thank you gentlemen for this thread and responses. I have recently been experiencing some bumps and turmoil in my personal life, conflicts with others and sometimes conflicts with myself, in addition to general confusion about how to best go about things... I have at times mentally paused to ask for help, but I always feel vague as to who I am actually calling out to. I have asked Q'uo at times for metaphysical support, but I do not feel it quite often. I suspect because they are so free-will supporting, often times they simply cannot meddle very much in my development.
Naturally my higher self is the one I need to be in touch with in these times. But I do not know my higher self, or my personal guides. Ali, you list some great suggestions, do you have any others?
I would very much like to know more about my higher self (I realize it is myself in the future of course, but for now it makes more sense to work with dualism). Carla knows her higher self as "Holly", maybe finding a name for him would help me to connect more easily?
Ashim, do you think it's best to catch a negative thought while it's happening, or to let it play itself out and then reflect on it after the fact? I have many times found myself in an argument, feeling negative feelings and consciously realized what was happening while it was happening. But I have rarely if ever been able to cease the negativity in the moment, and when I have it has been an uncomfortable almost suppressive feeling. Do you know what I mean? It seems easier and more natural to find the opposite feeling afterwards, but perhaps I am missing the point of the exercise...?
