Was just wondering why all to often we trust the words of others above our own. When times are hard we listen to advice and sometimes act on what others say, without using our own thoughts and following what we know within us to be right.
 
My struggle on the spiritual path is trusting what i hear see and sense, so in a way i mistrust my own spirit. We tend to try to rationalise info we recieve and make sense of messages that are not ours to understand. This is a hard habit to break. Although in saying that there have been times when i have given totally confusing messages that have been completely understood by those recieving them, so why does our mind take over and try to rationlise that that we do not need to understand? Is it our natural human curiosity or is it fear of saying the wrong thing so we mistrust what we recieve or is it simply the fact we do not properly understand why we have this gift that enables us to help others on such a huge level.
I know its good to question so we can get some confirmation but that for me makes the mistrust stronger and certainly frustrating.
Maybe this is one of my life lessons, trust and patience.
 
One thing i do know that before we give 100% trust to others we must first trust ourselves, its the only way to follow our path and not the path others would like us to tred.
 
Please let me know your thoughts ....

Hi  Teresa.
Lot of  us had this problem at our start of our path. You are so right we have to trust ourselves to give the message also our spirit friends who brings them through.
 You are not on your own l did this at first, because l was allowing my own personal thoughts l was creating a barrier as they have to work with a still mind to allow spirit to impress their thoughts or words, or combining picture. When we get a message from spirit, our own minds has to step aside so to speak.
I like to call it the three  W's 
 
Who is spirit speaking;Why they are here; What is the importance of their message
 
We had this debate in our local church, the President of the church would ask us at our closed circle what do you think of the medium last night {tuesday}. I would say they are very good, she said linda, how can you say they was very good, when they did not really do a lot of messages...most of the message are not the best etc... I said if one message struck accord to the right person, the right spirit etc.. then it is a good medium. I would not judge another persons work... so l think l blotted my copybook there... I know people expectations are really high, but we can only do our very best.. Also if you have doubts, l would ask your spirit helper or guide, to assist you also to bring a closer connection with spirit.. Remembering that we are human, we all see things differently above all we are the vessel that the messages gets channelled, in saying this we can have our off days, we tired, we are emotional with our own lifes lessons or we are off colour like cold coming on...
 
Mediums cannot be 100% right, also sometimes we do get a bit unstuck when the sitter is unsure of the information, that they not sure they actually believe in spirit.. that will create the pattern of self doubt. Also remember we can work on two levels psychic, and the spirit level each valid for their own meaning.. psychic is what happening around them, more earth-based; spirit is something that spirit will only know about them and the sitter.. eg; how they passed away..personal information..
 
hope this helps you Teresa, any one to add to this most interesting debate.. hugs skydancing xx

Hi Sky
I agree wholeheartedly with what you say here. I think my problem is this... I seem to go on a spree of getting info and giving messages then nothing for weeks and weeks. I know that is very often the case with people and i feel its so you can digest what you have done and learn from that before you go onto the next stage. I suppose id like to run before i can walk lol. I do trust myself and i do trust my helpers, and i also wholeheartedly trust advice given by people who are further forward on their paths than i am although that advice is not always taken up on.
But it is also in everday life people tend to disregard their own true feelings and thoughts on situations and will act on the word of others. All to often i hear friends say to me " why did i do that" ? And i always reply "because you didnt look to yourself for the right answer, you trusted someone else above yourself". This is what i dont understand. I suppose people need to learn to trust their own instincts more wether it be spiritually or no.

hi teresa,
 
Give messages from spirit will be busy at times, then nothing at all.. the important bit is the messages that you gave, that proves we do live on in  'Spirit'. We are still connected to those who are here and in the spirit world..
I do agree with you,on digesting the message. Now l do not remember the messages l gave. I think they give you the memory of the message so you can learn from it.. I learnt to build my reference as in symbolically..
 
For most people they do not know they are a spirit being in human form, when they start to seek their own 'awaking' if  they ever mean to do so. This is their life history, their road map... so to speak..
 
I think that all the pioneers of spiritualism, and all those spirit being channelled their message like Silver birth, White eagle, that their words of wisdom live on are for those who wish to seek a spiritual path, than a material path etc..
 
god bless skydancing love the debate xxxx

Hi Teresa,   yes you are right we do trust in others too much and yes we should believe more in ourselves and believe what we receive  more, trust is a strange thing ! sometimes we trust others because those we know trust them too!  so it's a merrygoround we are on!   but one thing i can vouch for is that to put our trust in Spirit  we will learn more and more as our life goes on in whom to trust and how to trust!   I know this is only a little answer but i hope it is a kind one xx much love xxMorgan  ps remember we can only receive what Spirit sends us!

Thankyou Morgan its a lovely wise response that makes perfect sense to me. When i tell friends to look within themselves they think im barking mad lol but to me its the only way to learn who we are ourselves and what we are capable of.
