hello friends,

this is my first post in the forums, so i hope i'm doing this properly.
i've been following david's work for a few years now, gradually getting involved more and more as time went on, always wishing he would post another youtube video, or that i'd find another source of his work somewhere.
then, through youtube or google, i'm not sure, i found that he had a website; and i've been emersed ever since.

the thing i strongly want to discuss is as follows:
how can someone with a disability efficiently do spiritual work like anyone else?

i am 19 years old, and i have retinitis pigmentosa. put simply, my vision will gradually decrease as i get older, until i can see absolutely nothing.
it is a hereditary disease, and it is not curable. it is not painful, it just prevents me from being able to see.
i can still see many things, i can still travel, use a computer, etc, though i am legally blind.

before finding these forums, i wished i could somehow ask david himself about how someone might overcome this issue, though i'm not sure if i'll ever be able to.
i hope that anyone here has knowledge on this, and can spread it to me and others.
i'm sure i'm not the only one around who is having this sort of problem, and hopefully it can make a big difference.

some of my main concerns come from "visualization" during meditation, dreams, astral projection, and others.
questions arise such as:
- will i see everything i need to in my dream, or does the vision loss carry over?
- if i manage to do remote-viewing, will my visiion/data be limited?

i could continue, but i'll just try to get the ball rolling for now.
thank you all, and i'm looking forward to being here with all of you, learning, and sharing.

i am considerably older than you and have lived with rp throughout this incarnation. because it's genetic, one of my nephews also has rp. his manifested quite early, and when he was in his late twenties, he took training for braille and mobility with a cane. my rp was not even diagnosed until i was in my early twenties, so i earned a college degree, married and worked full time until my forties. how quickly rp progresses is entirely individual, as is how one chooses to deal with it.

a disability such as failing vision and/or blindness may impose limitations, but how one elects to engage those limits is entirely a matter of free will. from my own studies and experiences, i have concluded that it is a matter of perspective. one may elect to take something quite personally and to look outside self for causes and answers, or one may pull back to a much wider perspective and accept that only self is responsible for one's life script and employing free will, how one elects to respond to the scripted catalysts and challenges.

for me, the question became, "why, at the soul level, might i have chosen this particular life script?" why impose limits that forced me to turn inward?

though it continues to evolve, my conclusion is that the limits were intended to lead me to accept that i am much more than my present persona. i am a spiritual being who elected to engage in this life script so that i might come to recognize and accept my true essence and that everything i am experiencing was freely chosen even if, in this finite 3d illusion, i do not consciously recall making those choices. i had to accept that as a persona in a limited illusion, i am not here to control, that in truth, the only thing i can truly control is self. i only can consciously control my intentions and my responses. no matter how much i may believe i can control that which is external to self, that is an illusion. as ra points out in the loo, one may become adept at serving self and controlling others, but to do so is to isolate self until in order to advance to 6d, one must shift one's focus or polarity from control to unity and acceptance because 6d is about unity.

in essence, all limits are self imposed or chosen, and the primary reason for entering into a 3d incarnation is to choose how one will deal with those chosen limitations. will one focus outward and seek to manage and control, or will one look inward to seek the true self through acceptance and unity? ultimately, every choice one makes has the potential to add to one's bias toward one of these polarities or perspectives.

so, consider why you may have chosen your personal limitations, why you chose your present life script? what might you have chosen to learn and work on and/or accept and release? the details and specifics are less important than the intentions shaping one's choices.

those personal truths represent my present understanding, and i share them in awareness that each of us must of necessity choose which limits we will embrace and which we will release.

[b]define spiritual work? to me it's thinking about stuff in terms of polarization or karma if you like. so you can do everything and that includes most physical stuff. in a way your disability will/might make you more spiritual. [b]

answers in bold.

[yespkorg]

ive never really considered myself to be a very spiritual person tbh although i have always been very interested in things like the paranormal, remote viewing, tarot cards, telepathy etc

i was only diagnosed as having a thing called ehlers danlos syndrome last year although it is a genetic illness so i have had it all my life and just basically got on with things best i could and then when i found out lots of issues i had in the past made sense finally to do with my health at least.

i dont know what its like to be blind but i do have some issues with my sight, namely constant snow vision and either some kind of ocular migraines or some similar kind of visual disturbances, eye pain, problems seeing in the dark at all or even problems in a room thats too bright. i often get terrible after images and it doesnt have to be because of really bright lights, any kind of light seems to do it! i had an op as a child because i had a turn in my eye although since then apparently the eye i had the op on has perfect vision and my other eye is only slightly long sighted as time i had a test anyway.

anyhoo regardless of the actual medical issues i defintiely think that having a disability does help you to be able to develop yourself spiritually obviously depending on what aspects you are working on!

i definitely think living with something that does force you to change the way you do things gives you the opportunity to take time out and i definitely think that it does widen your perspective and views on life, maybe pushes you to contemplate the whole meaning of your own life and what your place in the world is!!

i definitely must pick up on peoples thoughts or something because it happens for too often to be coincidence. myself and my daughter are very close even though for instance the other night we had a huge arguement but it certainly cleared the air a bit but we are very close, we often are thinking the same things, so often id say all the time. either one of us just has to be thinking about something and hte other one will pick up on it, its very strange at times especially when its something thats not a normal concern or topic of conversation but it still happens.

i definitely pick up on other peoples energies, sometimes to the point where other peoples energy can affect my own which isnt always a good thing when the other person has negative energy, it does rub off on you!!

i dont think your vision loss would affect what you see in your head and maybe in some ways it may be better not to have outside influences interfering with your own internal thoughts!! a bit like a writer not being able to write anything without incorprating outside influnces because they have been reading others work or watching others films. so in a way your information may well be more authentic and original to yourself and your own methods of viewing, telepathy, intuition if that makes any sense!!

one very important thing i think you need if you want to access these parts of yourself or develop them is peace and quiet and no outside infuences. ive never been great at sitting down specifically to meditate although i did used to do a self healing reiki session on myself everyday, even just lying down in a quiet room with no telly or music and nobody else there just yourself and your own thoughts and just allow things to develop and come natrually to you, dont try and force it too much.

also with remote viewing i dont know if automatic writing is in that same bracket but i suspect it may be, maybe that may be something you might want to look into as im sure that this is done with the eyes closes during some kind of meditation or self hypnosis which imo are basically the same thing.

[lodsemelf]

thank you all. your contributions have helped a lot.

i've had these ideas right under my nose--pretty much--for a while, but i guess i couldn't pick up on them.
it makes perfect sense, and i agree with you guys, that the lack of vision is beneficial, especially because it causes me(/one) to 'view' the world and life differently than the majority of humans involved in the mainstream.
i'll keep that in mind. i guess i just needed some other opinions to break through this.

the only remaining downside i see is as follows, and i'll admit it is very specific:
suppose someone has a bad vision problem. they would not be able to do work in which they do readings for others in which visual images are brought through, and expressed verbally to the client.
the problem here is, the worker would not be able to.. either see the objects, or possibly recognize them, because not all things are known visually.

though, my counter to that now is - things like that aren't necessary.
even if something like that might come about, it will happen in a different way, or possibly in a different life time/script.

[Aqgkvwzm]

i think this is cool that people bring this up and others are sharing and warms my heart.

i believe that some of those who take on challenges such as being born with disability or going through heavy amounts of trauma which for the most part aren't self induced and try to overcome them are quite honorable. even if they go through it to ease and help those who have similar situations or take the place of another soul who might be more sensitive and may not be able to handle it.

not saying i can come to feel the same way you are but something i would share is i was around a lot of people that i really didn't know for a while and didn't have anything to help my eyesight such as glasses or contacts and it was that way for a few months. the people i ran into were strangers at the time but i liked it because my farsight is bad and i have -5.00 vision and for some reason i didn't see a bunch of what i judged off appearance even though i don't do that very much it still made a difference because i could make out the shape of their face and seemed to be less concerned about how much i could connect with them and tell how much they initially objected. i noticed this very much after i got my glasses at the end of the few months and how it seemed to subconscious tweak my perception, it just made it a bit different. also i was around people who would sometimes try to give me a "face of authority" and when they would i couldn't really see that either and treated them the same and they just didn't bother with trying to convince me of anything because i was looking them in the eyes but didn't feel so intense and don't like to make people feel like they are on the spot by constantly staring in general. i don't know how much sense this will make but i was able to hear what they wanted to say rather than what i thought they said. this could seem a bit off topic but just something i learned, i wish i could just do that more often but unfortunately my eyesight is so bad i can't even make out a deck of cards on the table in front of me. yikes.

[textarchive]

i developed a chronic condition 9 years ago and the doctors gave me 5 years! i think i have stablized through a conscious effort to be happy. thanks loo! what i don't know however is, did i choose pre incarnation to get it, or did i create it? ra says that wanderers often become ill because they find the vibration here harsh. ra also says anger causes or creates cancer. any thoughts on the causes of illness in spiritual terms?

[doxinwasido]

yeah scott, you are right as ra is, all illness comes from the inside. they are catalysts for learning.
i know all my health issues were pre-planned and well executed during this incarnation with the help of my guides.
and yes, i can say that some of these times, especially closer to teenage hood i was creating most of the illnesses and issues myself trying to hide myself away from this strange world.
my tumor, most likely developed because of fear, the fear i was unable to tame a while even after the problem was surgically removed.
these things come and go, as long as you do not let it take full control you can pull yourself out.
and those that never do pull themselves out planned it this way in between incarnations for their own unique karmic plan.

love and light,
ra ma

[Dapnoinaacale]

well said. in now think there are many ways to get ill. fear in my teens could have caused my illness, but then again pre incarnation i would have known that i would likely become bullied - because i would have known that the body i was incarnating in to was sensitive, thin skinned etc, and therefore fearful. so in a way, although events caused the illness, it was pretty much chosen. and of course the reason, not the cause, for the illness was to lead me to a spiritual life. but what i just realized is that now i am on the spiritual path, the reason for the illness has gone. i created it, albeit i chose the likelihood of it, so i can easily create full health.

[hellencomstar]

and that is a good point, scott, in relevance to the subject of the thread.
those of us who ended up here or on any variations of the spiritual path have chosen and coordinated the events to reach this goal, between reincarnations as well as during the incarnation.

tyler, i once wrote that those blind are with true eyes, and i still stand strong behind this opinion.
many great philosophers took their own eyes and tongues for the peace of mind necessary for the accomplishment of their set karmic evolution.

activating the 3rd eye and other chakra points is what's important during any incarnation, because those energy vortexes exist with you during your physical biological existence and your energetic existence. your eyes are here today, tomorrow you may go blind but it does not change who you are, for you are without eyes yet are all seeing; without arms, yet all reaching; without a mouth, yet you are heard in all corners of the known and unknown universe.

in love and welcoming light,
ra ma
