Mistake 2: The Top 8 Reasons People Fail at Spirit-Guides
========= Mistake 2: Identifying too Exclusively With the Limited Physical Self ========= Before you decide this isn't you, see what I have to say because after teaching 100s of students, I can almost guarantee this is holding you back Many people approach channeling as if they're a limited human being trying to connect with something much bigger and grander than themselves. Their identity is tied entirely (or almost entirely) to the person they see in the mirror. "John/Maria/Yuko/Carlos is connecting to spirit-guides" However as you know, your true self is NOT confined to your physical form. If we limit our self-definition to 'the-person-in-the-mirror', we restrict access to the vast spiritual reality that makes channeling possible. It's not the mirror-you that's connecting, it's the spiritual-you Clearly this is so, because the connection is made in spirit The solution? Expand your self definition In truth, you're an infinite, invulnerable, immortal -- from the perspective of that true identity, anything is possible and connecting in spirit is a piece-of-cake At this point you may be thinking: - "I've been interested in spirituality for a long time and I know I'm a spiritual being so this advice doesn't apply to me" But here's the caveat: - "Knowing" you're a spiritual being isn't enough because it's a conceptual understanding. Intellectually you "know" you're a spiritual being, however, you must instead EXPERIENCE yourself as a spiritual being Then your understanding is experiential, rather than simply conceptual... only then can you relinquish the limitations of the mirror-you identity and expand into your true spiritual form It makes total sense because it's hen you "experience" yourself in any form, that it locks into your identity -- that's why identity-experience is the most powerful method of transformation Therefore, following our rationale, to experience yourself as a spiritual being, you simply need to have spiritual experiences
