Companions, Good Friends, Wise Counsel

You are not alone. We are not alone.
No, I am not talking about aliens.
No, I am not talking about aliens.
We are surrounded and supported by a myriad of spiritual companions, beings you can't perceive with your physical senses, but your sixth sense, your gut, or your heart "sees" them all the time. Don't you want to know more about them and how you can engage them with love, consciousness, and intention?
Questions
Do you wonder who you pray to?
What does your guardian angel guard since your life hasn't been so easy or protected?
Maybe guardian angels are just for sweet babies? Or your angel got bored on the job?
If you are over 21, over 49, over 64, do you need a guardian angel? And what is your relationship to your child's guardian angel, or your colleague's, or your mother's, or your lover's?
Or what about these choirs of angels and pictures of the Trinity - are they just about, wings and halos, pretty pictures and stained glass windows? Or could they have something to do with the shaping of your soul, life on earth, the evolution of consciousness? Maybe they are the quantum physics of the soul and the string theory of moral development.
Let's not forget the feeling or wish that there are spirits in nature - fairies, gnomes and such. Do you want to know if your house has a spirit? Or the oak tree in your yard? Or your wallet?
And what about those who have died? Do you feel connected to the dead beyond grieving for your loved one? Are they active in how you live your life now? Are they evolving, too?
Those are just a few questions you may have. There are probably a lot more if you take time to think about them.
Finding Answers
Where do you turn to to get any answers? Answers that help you build a creative relationship with these beings...let you feel them as companions, good friends, wise counsel?
I just finished recording over six hours on engaging our spiritual companions and putting together some great supporting materials. You can have your own copy of the audios and the materials of Engage Your Spiritual Companions for $47. The link to buy the program is below.
Should you spend your money and your time on this program?
Like all the Imagine Self programs, the content of Engage Your Spiritual Companions helps you understand your humanity and your individuality. It helps you evolve, grow up, celebrate and revere being human and becoming I.
You will find distinctions and organizations that make sense of all these beings and suggested ways to interact with them that develop rich, creative and nurturing relationships. You will learn how to engage your companions in the intimate and practical context of your own sense of self and your daily life.
On the grand scheme and quite personally, developing this new version of Engage Your Spiritual Companions awoke in me the deepening feeling of being a loved and loving part of a cohesive and coherent Cosmic wholeness which transforms those moments of cosmic loneliness and dark nights of the soul we all suffer with. The feeling of the mysterious connectedness is not just uplifting, it is grounding.

For $47 and lots of your attention, I am giving you structured imaginations of the activity of your spiritual companions to work with, chew on, create with. You will find a picture of just how important all our invisible companions are. I am just introducing each of them and encouraging you to get to know these beings much more intimately on your own in your own way. Engage them!
Your Guardian Angel - yes, this is the being that knows every hair on your head, who you have been and who you are becoming. Wouldn't you like to know that depending on your stage in life there are different ways of engaging your guardian angel.
The Divine Beings - these are the grand spiritual hierarchies that have majestic names and glorious deeds in all the traditions. Sadly, western traditions have not given us clear ways to distinguish them or engage them. I have worked hard and humbly with a number of questions and received some real inspiration at how they shaped our souls and how our souls in thinking, feeling and willing climb up to meet them.
The Spirits of Nature - these are the companions that hold our earthly world together. The are not simply beings that perch on a treetop, swim in a raindrop, or sit in a corner of your bedroom. Can you feel what our special responsibility to the spirits of nature is?
Other Human Beings - the ones most of us can't see, the dead and the unborn. Here among these companions we find our karmic community. I share thoughts on grief and how different it is from actually "working" with a dead soul. And the unborn, have you ever considered the experience of a soul not yet conceived?
Designing Your Engagements - I share ways of designing a creative engagement to make your
relationship to the Cosmic wholeness real and participatory, profound
and evolving. I offer the basics of the engagements and encourage you
to discover your own most comforting and most challenging engagements.
Reflecting on the recognition that spiritual research is never definitive, I will continue to work with questions on engaging are spiritual companions and share with those who purchase the program all new insights. There will also be a members forum that will allow you to share your questions, your insights, your experience.
In case you want to know...
Engage Your Spiritual Companions is the result of the very process I describe in the recordings - the profound effort of fierce questioning. I kept asking questions and then listened inwardly for the answers, then questioned further. I have not compiled the work of religious scholars or the great mystics here, although I am inspired in all my work by Rudolf Steiner. Spiritual Companions is not scholarship, it is personal research based on a logical process of inquiry and design.
OMG, each insight and inspiration comes in the paradox of all research: I feel surprise and yet, no surprise. I am surprised at the dawning of the imaginations, but when they are brought to the light of day the surprise fades as everything fits together, makes sense, and rings true for me. I leave you free to determine if it fits together, makes sense, and rings true to you.
Why Audios?
Why don't I write a book? Why do I share my research in these informal, unscripted audios?
I like the immediacy, vulnerability, and transparency of the spoken
word. I like the fact that surprise and inspiration enters in as I
speak and that I can't correct, do another draft, clarify a thought, just like a conversation.
I've given this program live 7 times and shared it in
part in numerous conversations. Every time my thoughts and language
evolve. I realize over and over again nothing, not even the most sacred
truth, can be fixed or carved in stone. Language, perception, and
perspective are always in flux and the printed word is always the same.
So I risk the extemporaneous to keep the content alive and free. (I do
work from an outline which comes with the audios.)
My willingness to share my research in such a relaxed way that can't be perfected means you can engage more fully. You can relax, too. In hearing my voice and my silent pauses, my "um's" and "ah's" you can discover an aliveness surrounding the content that asks you to get inwardly and creatively involved. You get to be part of something living.

Would Sacred Listening Make a Difference?
Is This What You Need Now?
The first thing that must be established in a sacred
conversation is a core sense of safety. You need to feel you can tell
your truth and not be judged or critiqued, that your truth is respected
and held sacred.
Are you living with questions about who you are and
what you should be doing? Do you seek to find what meaning lives in
your sorrows, struggles and suffering? Do you wonder how to develop a
new relationship to your life so far that opens up desirable
possibilities for your life to come?
Do you want to approach your life from an understanding of resolving your karma and fulfilling your destiny?
You may want to
give yourself the gift of personal coaching or counseling. A good
counselor will provide the elements of warmth, containment,
encouragement and creative review and reflection. Each of us needs a
rhythm of sacred conversations centered on our own path of
self-development. If you would like to have one or more sacred conversations with me, please call me 919-240-4094 or Email me.
To learn more about these private one-to-one conversations you can read the description of this personal work here. Conversations with Lynn
