Psychic Greetings

[Makram Abu-Shakra]

I wanted to start this thread in the hope that I would shed some light on the nature of psychic greetings and I would love to hear some of your stories in this arena. I believe this to be an increasingly important subject as one increases in polarity.

First, a quote by Ra from Session 72:
"The development of the psychic greeting is possible only through the energy centers starting from a station which you might call within the violet-ray moving through the adept’s energy center and therefrom towards the target of opportunity. Depending upon the vibratory nature and purpose of greeting, be it positive or negative, the entity will be energized or blocked in the desired way."

My story took place more than a couple years ago, and the long term effects of the greeting was pivotal to my development. At the time, I was getting easily burnt out from work and I was at the mercy of the cycle of falling from grace on Monday and beginning my climb towards grace on Friday night.

One Saturday, I was trying to calm down from a busy work-week and to find some inspiration to make music. I remained in a funky state throughout the day and I began to get frustrated, my emotions got caught in a knot. That evening, I woke up from a nightmare that admonished me not to bring any more negative energy into this world. I sat up in bed and asked internally for help, as I had done repeatedly throughout the day without a discernable answer. After about a half hour of oscillating between frustration and prayer I finally sensed an external presence.

There was a feeling of slight pressure at the top of my head. I quickly arrested all my thoughts to be aware of what was happening. I audially hallucinated the following words:

"We request permission to perceive this instrument."

Seemingly instantaneously, in typical time/space fashion, another voice answered that sounded like me but was much softer. I guessed that it was my inner self: "You are perceiving this instrument."

I remained still and simply waited for something to happen. Nothing apparent seemed to occur, although I continued to feel the slight pressure on the top of my head.

Over time, this sensation faded and I went back to thinking my usual thoughts. But, I was able to do so much more fluidly, and I now believe that the help I received was a balancing and/or unblocking of my energy centers. I started to glimpse the reasons behind the specific type of catalysts I had been experiencing at work, to behold their poetic nature, so to speak. I went to sleep and had a prophetic dream:

I was at my desk at work which now had a large sign that was labeled the number "5" (I took this to mean 5th density, which I now believe to be my home vibration). Two people came into the office and they started rearranging where people sat; instead of sitting in my usual spot beside a window and a view, they moved me to a closed cubicle. I became quite angry but the two people simply stared back without emotion or negative intent in their faces, and they seemed to represent very straightforward 3rd density types. Over time I interpreted this to mean that there was no divine order behind the contemporary workplace being so energy- and time-consuming. that this was simply the product of combined free will.

Monday came around and I was sitting at my desk pondering the events of the weekend. I was marveling at the beauty of life's catalyst and how they affected the movement of my psyche in ways that were enriching and downright poetic. I thought to myself that I'm ready and capable of whatever comes my way, and not a few minutes later did I hear my boss yell for me from across the office. It turned out he was on a conference call with a client and he demanded that the project I was working on be finished in half the time it would normally take.

When I went out for lunch that day, I saw a truck with a large sign that said "PIVOT: The Turning Point in Office Interiors".

Over the next month, I averaged 50-60 hours per week. Having had a dream which prophesied my increased workload at the job, I was more capable of accepting and affirming my situation. I was also thus given the opportunity to focus entirely on balancing my frustrations at work since there was no hope for any other aspirations. The following quote by Ra comes to mind, and I believe it to be pivotal to understanding the nature of the evolutionary process: "It is the way of distortion that in order to balance a distortion one must accentuate it."

Near the end of my project's completion, I worked through the weekend. Sunday evening came around and I remember a very powerful sunset. Having spent the last two days by myself in the office, I was left alone with my own energy and the space around me started to take on the air of being sacred. Gradually, the objects in my surroundings became more and more expressive, putting on a collective smile. This expressiveness with time turned into an actual glow of life resonating from everything around me, so that the world felt fully alive. And finally, this living-ness began to exude love, a love that bloomed with bliss. I slipped into a form of ecstasy. And I remained in that place of bliss in varying degrees while I worked.

The long term result was that the office had transformed into a sacred place and from then on I've been able to psychologically revisit a milder form of such a state at will whenever things got too hectic and this helped me accept and enjoy my job from that time on.

Love and Light,
Makram

Wow, what a great post. Thank you! I will remember it, I hope, and use the inspiration you've given when times get tough at work or wherever. And also during good times :)

I think a lot of my psychic greeting stuff manifests in periods of extreme exhaustion - beyond what I'd normally experience (sans writing.) A lot of the work to overcome this exhaustion I see as charity for the greater good.

Hello Makram,

I enjoyed your post very much. Aside from the prophetic and synchronistic elements of it, an area of interest for me in the past couple years or so is spiritual experience and the brain. I had a somewhat similar experience many years ago, which was so powerful that basically my life is divided into before and after. It, too, stayed with me and was available to me for a period of two years, at which time it morphed into a different path.

I was explaining about it, and the insights I got from it, to a skeptic who said I must have had a temporal lobe epileptic seizure. This was pretty astonishing, especially since I have witnessed several people have seizures and they are not positive events. Nor do I have epilepsy. So I began to google it and even found the author of a well-known article about it. This author, however, is a spiritual person and does not negate spirituality, and he told me that he did not think I had had a seizure, but a genuine event.

The temporal lobe thing, though, is interesting because apparently some epileptics do have amazing, though brief, overwhelmingly positive experiences as they slip into their seizures. Dostoevsky was one who did, and it may be the source of his spiritual wisdom. And the reason they have them may simply be that their particular focus point of the seizure is upon or adjacent to an area of the brain that is activated during profound spiritual events. Tying this idea together is the work of a doctor who collected stories of out of body, near-death experiences, and the aftermath of how it affected the person for the rest of their life. I don't remember the particulars, but it is now suggested by a few such researchers that the right temporal lobe contains an area that, once activated, may remain permanently more activate.

And it may be that many profound religious or spiritual experiences activate it by various methods. In your case, you are for one thing already oriented that way, and the exhaustion of your workload sustained over time may have created a kind of tension-release that flooded this area of the brain.

I hope you don't think this in any way invalidates your experience making it less magical. That was the intent of the person who, in effect, said to me that it was a brain glitch. Not at all. Rather, getting your brain to function spiritually is a top priority! And we are not very good at it but I hope knowledge of this sort is on the increase. I mean, everything we do, everything, has corresponding areas of the brain that are activated. If you didn't watch David's birthday video, then be on the lookout for the new improved version and watch it. He talks about the pituitary, the third eye, being a crucial yet often withered organ for our spiritual perception.

Thanks for the positive feedback on my post.

onething:

Your own experience sounds very interesting and would very much love to hear more about it; you might have already written about it in other posts.

What occured inside my brain to enable me to see the expressiveness, the aliveness, and the love around me is an interesting mystery. I personally view this kind of experience as somewhat like dreaming-while-awake, and perhaps the same physical symptoms might be present as during dreaming (gamma waves or what have you, don't know enough on this subject). In which case, my being balanced at that time allowed me to enter time/space to a degree. The experience was definately related to balancing the energy centers. There was nothing hallucinatory about it (not that you ever said it was). Seeing the world as alive and full of love is in my opinion an act of piercing the veil between the conscious and unconscious self.

There might be a temporal lobe connection and I will look into that. I'm also fascinated by any research out there that ties physical brain activity with activating energy centers, and I'll be looking into that as well.

I guess I should have made it clear that when I had that experience at the office, I didn't feel exhausted in the slightest. I was completely accepting of my situation and I felt very balanced. I think that this rare level of balance and sobriety was one of the prerequisites of such an experience.

I know for sure that the part of my story preceding the prophetic dream was a psychic greeting because the symptoms were obvious (given pressure at crown chakra and the audial hallucination, etc).

As far as the experience at the office of seeing love everywhere, I could not be certain it was indeed a psychic greeting, it could have simply been a rarely high level of balancing my energy centers, or opening up my green ray energy center. I would guess that, in the least, it was with the help of my inner self affording me such a rare privilege so that my life at work would become easier.

The big question in my mind is whether the sudden increase in workload was 1) simply a result of the free will of my client which the dream had prophecied, or 2) whether my client was somehow encouraged to demand an early completion date due to a psychic greeting on him, or 3) he was acting under the influence of his inner self. I remember Jane Robert's Seth once remarked that inner selves cooperate with each other to form the reality we experience collectively.

Why this question is interesting relates to Ra's quote that I mentioned already: "It is the way of distortion that in order to balance a distortion one must accentuate it." The extra workload allowed me to find balance. Was then the extra workload that suddenly appeared part of an intelligently designed evolutionary process or did the event arise simply from the free will of the client. And then, how does the synchronicity with the truck fit in?

A lot of my office experience has been in a subtle way, a study of Hierarchal structure - pecking orders, power and control plays, etc. When I came to a realization that what I was observing psychically was a 4th density negative type program: fertile with illusions of separation and secretive underworkings, then I was better able to accept why I positioned myself at the bottom without ambition to climb the corporate ladder, so to speak. In some ways, I consider the feelings of fatigue related to bearing another's tremendous will of manipulation, so to speak...

I think that in simple terms - psychic greatings are the cause of many of the world's sleep disorders. This is part of why I strictly limit my participation in many internet groups - that most people seem ignorant of the effect and unconscious of the idea that the emotional energy they precipitate in reading may directly be perceived by the writer. I also feel that this effect limits the world's sense of unity, that the diurnal cycle can either put people out of phase with each other or else be the cause for each other's sleep disorders...

...When I went out for lunch that day, I saw a truck with a large sign that said "PIVOT: The Turning Point in Office Interiors"....

I forgot to mention - a syncronicity here. I was writing in a coffee shop and the artist came in to take down her work. I asked about one piece, which was a silloette of birds backdropped by a bridge all basking in the golden hue of a low hanging sun. So I asked the artist if it was a sunset - she told me it was sunrise, and that the birds were Pivots. So later when I got this back to my house - I realized some connection to The Golden Dawn, as if the synchronicity was pointing me in that direction.
