Question In my meditation I ask to know my spirit guides or higher self,I always see a pair of eyes unlike a human but not disturbing.Beautifully lined with long lashes but large and almost alien like..this is as far as I can get.Any ideas or suggestions?
Answer Brenda, Thank you for your question.
It may seem that this is a fruitful experience, but as you are finding, it doesn't really lead anywhere.
Only following a thought to its source, pure consciousness, gets us in touch with the unmanifest and unbounded source of all creativity and intelligence.
Methods that use visualization or prayer are self-limited if they do not connect us with our source.
My suggestion would be that you learn a transcending technique, like Transcendental Meditation (www.tm.org) or NSR Meditation (www.nsrusa.org).
I hope this brief answer has helped. Please feel free to submit follow up questions, if needed.
