I would like to say Namaste to all the lights here. I come forward right now because I am in need of positive thoughts and guidance right now.

To make a long story short, I have always been spiritually inclined. My spiritual vibration has always been stronger than my earthly one. It has always been easy to live in that realm, instead of existing in this one. Though it has been a joyous place, it also brought me great pain... As I get older, my spiritual vibrations get stronger, but my earthly one, does not.

Recently, I got a job that well, was the job that I thought I would be satisfied with. (Just an aside note:I am a writer at heart, and I think this is my earthly job.. I chose teaching in the classroom though, because I thought I would be happy there. I thought that doing that, would satisfy part of my spiritual job). I am a teacher, however, when I am in the class room, it is hard for me to exist there, physically. The class room is symbolic of my life in general, because it is hard for me to focus when I am out in public, or around those who are in need of healing. Factor in energies that have passed on, and the classroom experience becomes even more difficult.

I left my job, only a few days ago. I had to resign because I could not function anymore. I was having anxiety attacks left and right. I was just so overwhelmed, that I found it hard to just...be. I am learning that because I do/did not know how to control the flow of energy that was coming to me for help, that I was constantly drained. I am on a journey to discover my earthly self, because I have realized that without balance between both self, I cannot fill my true potential.


I am now in the process doing just that. I feel that I will one day teach again, but on a smaller scale. Right now, I am focusing on making parts of me materialize. But to do that, I must understand who I am...as an being. Know what I mean??

I hope i am not confusing anyone. Right now, I am in doubting about what I have done, and will be doing. I have turned to my family, and they are supportive. However, because I always existing in the spiritual realm, it is difficult to sit still and just, live in the moment.

I'm really sorry for all your pains. I hope someone will come along and help you. Or you can somehow pull yourself out of it. I don't know what I can do, except perhaps give you a virtual hug. so...hugs?

And what is it like to exist in the spiritual plane? I'd love to travel there some times.

thank you so much for giving me a virtual hug. I truly appreciate it.


Hmmm, what is it like to exist in the spiritual realm..? Well to start, I am a comforter to others. Not only those who are living, but those who have already left this existance. I comfort on many levels. Because I do this constantly, it makes it difficult to just...be. My energy is always being sought out, sometimes without my knowledge. When this happens, it is like being pulled in five places all at once, all without me really know whats going on.

I am not sure if I can explain it so that I am under-stood. (sigh). But, I do so thank you for your hug.

I understand what you're going through, Namaste73. In fact, your words were so clear and to the point to me that my jaw dropped and I didn't know whether or not to respond. I also went through a very beautiful yet very painful and difficult time when I was more there than here. I had a lot of trouble keeping a regular job and going to school. It's like I was watching myself function in this world as an outsider ... almost like being out of my body all the time and not really relating to the world around me. It's really hard to explain. But I think you're right. I came to that same conclusion. I had to purposely move a little further from my spiritual world/energies and learn to focus on this material world until I could actually function in it. It's not easy. Now I'm in the process of working back to that spirituality but with conscious control over it ... like being able to switch back and forth at will rather than just being immersed in it with very little control. Again, it's not easy. However, I feel this is something I really needed to do.
My only advice is to be honest with yourself about the situations you're experiencing. Focus on the earthly energies around you first. Try hard to stay focused in your body, reign in your mind, and, as hard as it is, try to see the world in a way that "most" people see it in ... past, present, future instead of just NOW, etc. Eventually, you'll get to the point where you can see all the different aspects, choose one at a time, and work from there. I sincerely wish the best, and I KNOW you can do this. We have a purpose in this realm and, in order to accomplish it, we need to connect with this realm. Blessings.

Dear E, thank you sooooo much. I was afraid that I would not be understood. I so appreciate your thoughts. Because I MADE the decision to step outside of the spiritual, my earthly self is coming forward. It is a HARD process as you stated. I want and need to be fully present in my own life. THis is what drives me to do what I am now doing.

I know that it will take years to get where I want to get. But, just knowing that I am working toward that place that will allow me to keep a job for longer than year (didn't that frustrate you?? It sure frustrated me since collegues did not understand why I would leave so abruptly), is what keeps me focused. I want to be FULLY PRESENT in my life.. it is critical at this point. So very critical, that I NEEDED To do it. (sigh). I feel that you understand, and this brings me comfort.

Thank you so much once again. Your words have comforted me a great deal.

Oh, I was very frustrated at not being able to keep a job. I could technically do what was required of me at various jobs, but I felt completely lost there. For example, I worked in a retail store a number of years ago. It was an easy job as far as duties were concerned ... keeping things organized, being friendly, etc. I knew it was easy. But I just couldn't keep myself in it. I was not AWARE of what was going on ... it was just one big blur of activity for me. I also felt insincere because I was just following a routine and not really putting any of me into my job. It became harder and harder to concentrate because I was constantly thinking about other things, seeing things in a spiritual perspective, picking up all sorts of vibes off of people, etc. I had to leave, and within a few months at that ... I thought I was losing control of myself. And nobody understood why.
To this day, the only person that understands this side of me is my husband.
I do have a tendency to fall back into being out of touch with this world even now ... you're right, it does take years to get to that point. I made this decision about 4 or 5 years ago, if I recall correctly. And there were times when I feared (such an awful thing, fear) that I would lose touch with my spirituality permanently by shutting it out the way I did. But I haven't. It's still a bit of a struggle to be here, not NOW, but present and aware. I'm beginning to find that balance, that ability to switch from one area to the other ... just now beginning. But it's been worth all the effort so far. I truly believe that this decision helped me uncover my purposes in this life ... and now I am working towards achieving them.
I find your words comforting as well, seeing as how I haven't come across anyone who can relate to this phenomena. Thank you so much for starting this thread.

E, you have no idea... I feel like you are the one who is blessing me. THANK YOU. I am reading your words and I am steadily nodding my head. lol.

I am fearing what you feared: that I will lose that spiritual side. It is all I have known.. now I am like, if I lose that part, what else do I have/know?? It is such a scarey thing. But, it is so NECESSARY. I am sure you understand,and I thank you once again.

I can also relate to what you said about the job. The job I had last year.. it was not till I had left it for about a month, that it hit me hard. I felt like I was lost, in my own body. So overwhelmed.. but I pushed through, till I had this break through.

I am now finding that many people do not know how to react to this 'sudden' change. My spiritual self was always kind, never spoke an unkind word, even if it was warrented. I ALWAYS wanted to see the best in everyone, even if they did not deserve it. I saw their souls aura, and not their material self.. I strove to bring out that part. Though I did, I did not learn much about my earthly self. Now, I am expressing my needs. I am pushing forward so that I do not caryy other people's weight as I use to. Many people are getting mad because of this.. But, as I said before, this is so necessary for me. I feel that if I regress, I will not make it.. so i must push through with the knowledge that i have attained about balancing both worlds.

You are so fortunate to have a mate! I sometimes wish that I had one, but then again, I did not know MY physical self, so how could I expect a physically based relationship to survive??

love brought your words to me. thank you, and I am glad that you have also found comfort in my words as well.

Yes, feeling lost in your own body ... feeling uncomfortable in your own skin ... oh that is an awful and overwhelming feeling, indeed. Hanging on and pushing through until you breakthrough ... I couldn't have expressed it better myself.
But I felt the same reactions around me that you are feeling. I was a very giving person ... not that I had much to give materially but all my time and energy and effort, all my compassion and caring, I gave to others around me who needed it ... and in the process, I neglected myself. I felt a burning need to help others and I felt I couldn't control my output of energy. When I decided to focus more on this realm, I realized that I needed to take care of myself. Aside from basic things like going to school and having a stable job, I also needed to focus on my needs ... after first figuring out what they were. It sometimes seemed an insurmountable task. And then, the people around me who were so accustomed to coming to me at all hours for support found themselves being pushed away, gently but unequivocally. They were upset, angry, disappointed ... and constantly asking what was "wrong" with me. It was one of the hardest periods of my life. But I couldn't allow myself to regress. It's funny, but when I first realized my spirituality consciously (because as a child I didn't fully realize that I was not like everybody else nor why) I had the same kind of reaction ... I put all my effort into trying to understand the spiritual side of life that WAS my life. Then this new period began ... when I realized that there was this entire other realm I was unaware of, to my detriment and perhaps to others as well. For how can you truly help others if you can't relate, even in a small way, to them and their lives?
Ah, regression. How that word haunted me and still, to this day, it creeps in through a backdoor in my mind sometimes. Focusing is key for me. It's difficult but integral. I feel like I'm walking a very fine line, generally but, in all honesty, I'm happiest when I'm keeping myself on that line. When I'm balanced without feeling burdened by the effort of the balance, I am truly happier than I've ever been.
I am very fortunate to have my husband supporting me. But you're absolutely right ... back then I did not know my physical self. I was, in many regards, alone on the physical. None of my relationships worked out for various reasons and one of them in particular was the greatest learning (read painful) experience of my life. This other was intrinsically involved in my decision to change my life, though I didn't know it at the time. Yet, once I managed to have FAITH and let go of him and all the other things I had built up around myself to make up for the life I thought I needed and wanted ... everything began to fall into place. Literally. As I started focusing on this world, I stopped fighting my Life ... which, up until then, I hadn't realized I was doing. But I was. I was keeping away neccessary experiences because they didn't fit in with what I interpreted as my "spiritual" plan. Now I realize that my true spiritual plan was not what I was trying to make my life into then ... now I'm truly open to what life presents me and it certainly has a knack for presenting me with the right things at the right times ... even if I don't always consciously recognize it at the time. So, after about 3 years of lonely searching for myself in this realm I opened myself up to the Universe for the right loving man for me ... and then he appeared. I KNOW your mate will do so as well, when you are both ready.
I cannot express my feelings for this discussion well enough in words. You have been a blessing to me now because, as synchronicity would have it, I am just at the right time and place to be going over everything that has happened since I made that decision. Thanks again.

I too feel like this is a blessing reading this, I read some things that I have always wished I could explain for sometime now.

I had a dream 3 nights ago that I was sitting infront of myself, and that self was saying to me that I know longer want to participate in my physical body any more.
I just couldn't do it.

I didn't think all this was a part of the spiritual self- until the dream of course.
I have left many jobs for the same reasons as you Eleanore.
I have myself in my mind, and spirit, but the physical essence of me has trouble keeping up.
It's like I'm viewing the world, not just the world itself, but me in it.
And thus, many difficulties arise.
But without difficulties we would never learn.
I congratulate both of you that you can bring those feelings and that state of self into words, that is most comforting.

I'm so glad you could read this thread and find something to relate to. It may not be something most people would want to relate to, but knowing that you're not the only one going through something like this is such a comforting feeling. Yes, watching yourself in the world, almost a third person perspective ... it can't really but put into words to sufficiently describe exactly what it's like but it is undeniably unforgettable and, when someone hits that feeling with an image or a phrase, you just KNOW what they're talking about.

Keeping in touch through e-mail sounds fine. I'm sure we can learn much from each other. I really am awful with correspondence, though, so I apologize in advance. It's likely you'll find me more on this site than checking my e-mail but, nevertheless, I'll make a strong effort.
I believe Randall can provide you with my e-mail address (I don't feel comfortable posting it here). I think I have an e-mail address linked to this site but I have no idea how that works. Randall? Could you please help out this technologically challenged soul?

Hello all,

I just got around to reading this thread and wanted to say I relate to alot of what was said. I wont go into all the details but I have always found it extremely difficult to function in the physical/material world. That area of my life has been in shambles forever and I'm trying to figure out ways to achieve balance. I seem to be crippled in that department. My inner spiritual life is rich and fulfiling but surviving on the earthly plane has been difficult. Sometimes I dont know if I'm dreaming or I'm awake. That line tends to blur.
Also, Eleanore said: "Oh, I was very frustrated at not being able to keep a job. I could technically do what was required of me at various jobs, but I felt completely lost there." I completely hear you there.
Anyway, many parts of this thread spoke to me so I wanted to chime in.

We have a purpose in this realm and, in order to accomplish it, we need to connect with this realm." So very true Eleanore.

BTW, Eleanore and Namaste, the way to contact a Moderator through this site is by going into their forum and clicking on their name up on the left hand corner of the page. That will link you up.

This is incredible. And for so long I thought I was just some weirdo who didn't know how to function in this world. I was sure that someone, somewhere out there could relate but I never really thought I'd bump into them. Then, naturally, here we are. Life really amazes me. Part of me is sorry that we all have had to go through something as truly difficult and awkward as this but a larger part of me is glad that we put so much trust in our abilities in this Life to take on such a challenge ... and we are all meeting it head on and I am positive we will all achieve that elusive balance one day and fulfill our purposes here!
Oh, yes, thanks so much for that info about getting in touch with a Mod! You are so very helpful.

Wow! What a great thread. When I was younger I went through a brief period of joblessness. I had gone through a few jobs already and in between them I found myself delaying the search for a new job as much as possible. I preferred to stay home, which wasn't much help, than to go out and do something I didn't care for at all. Now I have a job at a coffee shop that still does not fulfill my dreams or passions, but I have learnt a lot from it in regards to where my dreams and passions are to be directed towards. In my job I deal with a lot of people. Granted, it does not offer an ideal situation to meet or initiate conversation but when I have a really good day of connecting with the customers my spirits are lifted to very intense heights. Yet, I find myself in a very similar situation to the one described on these posts. Though I've been able to hold this job for 5 years now, it has been quite a roller-coaster ride upon my emotions. I've gone through so many episodes of wanting to quit and leave, and the most recent being just a week ago, that the job has been the fuel for A LOT of stress. Nonetheless, I decide to keep going each and every time because of the learning experiences I have been given. Not to mention my job gets much easier through each episode. It is my social skills though that have advanced a great deal. I see people in a much clearer light than I had since I started this job. One of the things I learned is something Eleanore brushed on in regards to giving to others while neglecting the S-elf.
I still feel out of place in this world, though, but my purpose is more defined to me. At least, it is more defined than it was 5 years ago and it will undoubtedly reveal itS-elf in the many moments to come.

Peace Profound to all...

you are such a beautiful soul E.. I just had to say that. lol.

I will post here. Why say in private, that which can help the public.

I so glad that this is not an alone thing. I honestly never thought that others would relate to how i was feeling. I am glad to have found this safe haven.

Eleanore , yes, it's so nice when you find others who understand. Which in all of our cases can feel all too rare. It can feel pretty lonely sometimes. But then at the same time I feel like I've got the best friend I'll ever need within myself. It took awhile to get there though.
Yes, we made a choice to come back into these earthly bodies for many reasons and took on a big challenge. Day by day I feel I get better at finding a balance. Yet somedays it fluctuates and I guess that's all a part of it! Learning to take it day by day. Walking your path step by step. Living and being the best you can be in the moment. Life really amazes me too. It really is beautiful.

And youre welcome. I'm the helpful Virgo Moon Mod. lol

NosiS, I had a feeling I'd see you in this thread.

Thank you for the compliment. You strike me as a beautiful soul as well and I am not surprised at all to see so many beautiful souls on this site. Birds of a feather ... is that too trite?
I understand your reasoning about posting here. I also think that posting here is a good idea because, personally, I've come across so many threads where people have opened up so much here "by accident" that have really influenced and inspired me and I am very grateful for this site. However, now you know, heck, now we all know, how to get in touch with me personally.
Save haven is right.

I want to explain in more detail, but I'm pressed for time.
But I feel you all there with me- and eachother...

Nice to know.

Dear all,

I woke up this morning and for the first time in years Linda came to mind. I read her books long ago and they had a profound effect on me and my spiritual path. An hour after waking I find this website and a topic that I have been seeking guidance on, namely work. It seems her influence lives on, guiding me here, and I am very grateful.

Like others on this post I have been in various employments in my life that have left me feeling trapped, confused and suffocated. The latest saw me leaving after less than a week, going through panic attacks that turned the world into a very black place. I have tried so hard to fathom out why these panic attacks occured with and reading this thread has been very helpful.

It really leaves me to believe that my spirit cannot be contained, indeed won't be contained within work to which it is not suited. Either that, or I am operating so much more as spirit now, that I am not so comfortable with materialistic things like work and the people and situations that go with it, making it difficult to cope.

Unfortunately,living on this earth plane, I still need to pay the rent! Also I want to be of service and enjoy other pleasures of being in employment. I am a talented individual with much to offer and although my panic has long since gone and I am feeling more happy and complete than I have for a long time, I am not yet clear as to the new direction to persue in my labour of love. If nothing else, this challenging and quite unique time is I am sure teaching me many lessons and leading me to a better place. Indeed I may already be in it but not recognising this new fertile land.

Best wishes to all

My Goodness! The synchronicities truly are amazing at times! A very warm welcome indeed to you, petert. This site is very helpful and I have a feeling you'll be coming here more often.

Lately, I've been thinking about this similar situation that a lot of us are feeling and the concept of Indigo children came to mind. Then, I thought about the kinds of stress levels our children and their children would have in the coming generations. Accordingly, our generation is made up mostly of children born with "Indigo" qualities, but we also have the previous generations' qualities to help aid us "blend in" with our societal structure. Eventually, future children will be born with all "Indigo" qualities and will not have the qualities that may accomodate them to this present tense. It has been argued that it is already happening what with ADD and the poor performance of our education system. I think there is a big task for us ahead and that it has to do with a sort of reformation of certain societal ideas with a big focus on the institution of education. I think that's why we feel so out of place. We know we can do what our society has set up for us, but something inside of us feels uncomfortable with it, like a sense of "giving up" and ignoring the inner voice.
I find myS-elf constantly getting wrapped up in my job, taking it so seriously sometimes as if I had a God-given responsibility to uphold all the spiritual laws I have learned, but no matter how hard I try I always find something missing. Now I have decided to go back to school and study something that can help change this world in a positive way. I am a very humble person and it is part of my character, but I've also had a deep-seated feeling to make a huge impact in this world. I suppose I have good faith in one person's ability to make a difference. I still don't know exactly what it is I'm supposed to do myself. All I know is that I must know that the knowledge I will come across will define that for me. Regardless of whether I study a particular field in a university or an opportunity just opens up from networking with people, I must know that my purpose will come to me. Just like Eleanore's life opened up to her once she let her hands go of the steering wheel and realized that there is an auto-pilot. It sounds corny, but we get the point.

Wow petert, so good to have you here. Welcome to the site!

Hi NosiS! (fellow Virgo moon )

Great thoughts!
It's very interesting what you say about Indigo's. I've been told by a few that I am one. I've read the descriptions and seem to fit the title to a T. I too think there are many of these Indigo people on earth right now and we DO have some sort of 'task' but what that is, I'm not completely sure yet. "We know we can do what our society has set up for us, but something inside of us feels uncomfortable with it, like a sense of "giving up" and ignoring the inner voice." I totally understand you there.

That sounds great that you are going back to school and you know that you will make a difference in this world (really, you already have though ). It's really great that you have goals and you are taking action. One step at a time and you WILL get there! Just remember to enjoy where you are NOW (I say this to myself as I say it to you). I think when we can get to that point, we have reached a high level of awareness. And everything starts to change. You are where you need to be right now. And as long as you are making steps towards your goals and being a kind person in the process, you are doing alright.

All the best to you.
