Chasing Ghosts
When you think of ghosts and things that go bump in the night, the first thought that comes to mind are the spirits that remain behind when their body has passed away. But there are other ghosts that we might find residing under our roofs that might be as terrifying.
Those ghosts, so to speak, are the experiences of past and present that are haunting us. The sorrow, happiness, anxieties and other emotions are all combined in one or maybe more of these spirits that haunt us. Ghostly apparitions that are seen in the twilight hours in the rooms of our minds.
Our first instinct is to hide under the covers, as we all know that ghosts can not see us there. A perfect hiding place. Hoping that when we feel brave enough to peer out from underneath those covers the apparition will have faded away. By turning on the lights this may help temper our fear of what we have seen yet this is only a temporary safety net as these ghostly sights will return.
Our thoughts are scattered, wondering where these spirits from the otherside came from. Asking our selves the why are they here or what do they want questions. Not being able to readily figure it out or is it that we are not ready to face the answers?
Shielding and putting up protective layers of golden light to prohibit harm and entry in our sacred space finding that this only comforts for a while as there the apparition stands again. Maybe a little more frightening than before. To approach the apparition we must logically plan our strategy which leads us back to the why, what and where questions that we did not take the time to answer.
This ghostly presence is not a spiritual being at all. It is our own personal ghost of all our emotional experiences that have come to haunt us. Experiences or emotions that we have not accepted nor faced. Pushing them deeper into the recesses of our minds. Escaping for a limited time by forgetting. But our minds do not forget, they hide them away for a rainy day when it is felt we are ready or need to face whatever has been put away.
Why the sudden paranormal upset? There are times we have these visits when it is time to face them. Experiencing the emotions that we have pushed aside at the time by not being able to fully face them and let go. Much like the saying, Out of sight, out of mind,
It is now time to do face our fears or doubts and learn from these events.
While we are on on travels towards enlightenment it is in our best interest to inter react with this ghost, seeking the truth of the answers that we have asked of it. Facing the emotions that we are now ready to face. We know ask what it is and how we can help.
Listening carefully to the wise spirit visitor you may not like what it has to say or show you. The tendency to hide again may pop up. Do not let fear be your guide, take the fear into your hands and dissolve it like water rinsing away the lather on your hands. Moving through the experience, knowing that it has already happened and can not hurt you as before. Yes, there may be residual pain yet facing it now will help you to let go.
While we are looking at the event that has created this ghost we are actually learning. Learning a lesson that we did not see the first time around. No matter the inner turmoil if we clearly rationalize this experience we are able to release the emotions attached and let go. Moving on to a lighter, better place on the inside.
Not all ghosts are easy to banish. Professionals are there to help you and their services should in fact be utilized for the experiences that are so very traumatic. With their help and guidance they will help you to banish these ghosts.
Once you have faced whatever has been shown to you know that you have conquered a mountain and ready for the next climb. Coming away a stronger individual.
Looking at the apparition you will notice that it is suddenly fading away, going to the other side where it belonged in the first place. No longer haunting you. Finding that you are no longer consumed by fear only filled with the feeling that you are well on your way to another step on your path to enlightenment.
We have moved one small step towards our final path. It is not easy chasing the ghosts in our minds houses away. Banishing them to free us is a task that may take a long time of self seeking but the end result is worth it.
Hiding under our covers in the dark will only continually feed the ghosts energy to haunt us further. Facing these ghosts returns the power and energy back to us. Empowering us to fulfill our destiny.
Throw those covers off you, remembering this when the temptation to cover yourself again comes over you-
Ghosts know where you are hiding.
