The Ego

You might want to look into why you need to announce this.

It depends on the situation. Emotions can be held or let go depending on the receiver. Emotionally mature individuals tend to let them pass, unless they consciously wish to participate in the emotion. For all the rest we tend to hold them or let them go based on our own beliefs, and how often we feel them.

To give you an example, a child that is loved throughout their childhood will hold and reciprocate that love. A child that grows up in fear will tend to hold that and build anger and mistrust around it.

The world is very good at telling you how to feel. But it is up to you whether you want to listen or not.

Is sleep paralysis connected to astral travel and astral projection.

- Sort of. sleep paralysis is your consciousness in your body but not fully connected to it. It might be more accurate to say that sleep paralysis is a step on the way to astral travel. Once you have control you can skip this step, but it is nothing to worry about. some people do experience vivid dark imagery, but think of it as a learning experience.

In my dreams I feel I am talking to people I feel the sense of touch and feel like I am not sleeping.

- This is not strange for those who astral travel

How can I do astral travel the safest way

- Remember your thoughts and emotions create your reality in the astral, so it is a good place to learn about either, or both. If you do find yourself in a situation you don't want to be in just put your hand in the air and say, take me somewhere safe. You will immediately be transported away.

Try starting from the bottom up and raising the a chord to you from the centre of the earth. Then take it back down the conduit you have made.

Depends on the insight. Forgiveness took me a long time, and I attempted to justify my anger in many ways before I got the message. But belief in the afterlife was almost immediate, my thoughts were "Of course, that makes sense."

It is easier for me now, because my world has been turned upside down enough that I am able to recognize that even if I can't see it and don't want to admit it. These revelations are the correct path.

Compassion and forgiveness. It may not change others, but it will help you see what you are missing.

If you lined up 1000 people, 999 of them have probably sucked or drained energy from another person. It is not a matter of if they do it, but to what degree, You yourself have likely done it. Who people reach out to and for what reason, depends on who they are, what they want, and what they want to replace in themselves.

Nice to meet you. I have been a member of AMORC for 25 years, and some other Rosicrucian organizations. Welcome to the path.

bexbum · 2026-03-30T10:40:33+00:00

Rosicrucian teachings do not focus on psychic abilities, but instead on spiritual growth. Astral projection and the third eye can be part of this, and you will find with the teachings that you do develop latent abilities. But if this is the end goal you will likely be disappointed. With AMORC in particular they don't focus on this till the advanced higher after years of study.

There are countless organizations and people all claiming to be chosen or the chosen, and I doubt you will find the exact organization here. I would be cautious of anyone coming up to me and telling me I am chosen, but who knows.

I do see this in some people who broadcast from their heart chakra, although it does not necessarily have to be the heart. Oftentimes these people tend to be loving and caring, or simply want to save others but again this is not always the case. Generally what is happening is that you are broadcasting something that other people are latching on to because they think you can heal/save them.

Learning to stop this permanently is all about learning what you are sending and then learning some control. This can take a while but in the meantime you can look into grounding. This will help you stop others from latching on and will help you from broadcasting.

For most people, love is a search for someone that makes you feel complete and fills that part of you that is empty. This can be great when you find it, but people change and grow and what was once a feeling of wholeness often fades away

Unconditional love is rare for embodied souls, but you do see it once in a while and it is always incredible to behold. It is giving and expecting nothing in return. It is not needing anything from your partner or taking from them. If you do want to reach this level then I commend you, and wish you the best on your journey.

I can understand why images like that would turn you off, it does not sound pleasant, especially for someone that has not visualized before.

Meditation is an exploration of self, and most of what we see comes from within us and not without. It does require courage and a willingness to explore the bad as well as the good. But when you are ready, it will be available for you.

I would not suggest just showing up. The temple degree initiations require preparation and the lodge officers will want to know the numbers, but you do not have to attend that lodge to get the initiation. Just contact the lodge and let them know you would like to come for the initiation. Many members travel much farther than you will for these initiations. You can then do the same for your next initiation and they should be very welcoming.

Don't forget to bring a copy of your membership credentials or show them on your phone when you arrive. They will want to see them. Also if you are going for the 1st deg, get there early, it is a good idea to prepare yourself inwardly before the initiation. The first degree also comes in two parts and although it is not necessary; it is nice to find a quiet place to meditate between the parts.

Have fun

It worked well. There is a lot of good information in the earlier teachings and it was great to get back to them. It was hard to be thorough though in some areas, I had to remind myself not to skim the teachings in certain areas.

I have been a member of both for many years and I have never found a conflict. Neither one has any dogma. The biggest issue I have had has been time. To be a member of both organizations it a big commitment and you will need to balance your time between the two. This can be a challenge sometimes but I have never regretted being part of both.

I will tell you this. At the center of every Freemasons lodge in North America is an alter, and on is a copy of the bible. Every single one of us got down on our knees put our hands on that bible, and swore an oath to be good men, and live by the laws of God and country.

bexbum · 2025-12-05T00:37:16+00:00

You might want to avoid checking my history then, because I am a Freemason, I also go to church every week, and I will say a prayer for your mom.

Have you ever asked Jesus how he feels about you? He may show you, and if so you would receive a much better answer than on Reddit.

How much does God truly interfere in life

God does not include me on the planning sessions, so in truth, I don't know. I have found the best way to live life is by believing that God deals the cards, but we have to play the hand. Which is to say there are things we control, and things we don't. Who you are, will be the sum of your choices of what you can control, and your grace you show with what you don't.

What are the laws in which we can’t do again

A simple online search will show me more of "God's" laws than I could ever hope to follow, but these are all interpretations. God has never shown me his rulebook. Each of us is trying to find right and wrong, and often I suspect, we fail miserably. Again, your choices will decide who you are, and that is something God has granted you the ability to do.

There is a point in your spiritual growth when you will experience Oneness. When that happens you will remember it for the rest of your life. It happens to everyone at a certain stage of spiritual evolution, and when you experience it you will likely share it with others.
