Lately, I've been trying to ask the extraterrestrial good guys to send me "nudges" that would help me with my psychic abilities. I started this about a few days ago. I asked for signs in my dreams that there was psychic connection going on so I would become even more confident this was possible.

This may seem like no big deal, but last night I dreamed I was wearing my jeans and there was a significant stain on them. Then I also dreamed I was wearing a device on my belt carrying an electronic device or phone. I didn't think this was psychic at all though while dreaming. I was actually just worried about the stain in my dream and wondered why I was wearing a belt device.

Today, after waking up:

1) I went out to breakfast with my wife at a diner. The over-easy eggs accidentally dripped onto my jeans and made the same-colored stain as in my dream.

2) I was cleaning some stuff out in shoeboxes this afternoon. I saw my phone protector had come with a black belt clip when I bought it a year ago and never noticed it was in the box and didn't even know I had one. It was the thing I saw in my dream.

I don't think these things are coincidence. I didn't ask for dramatic proof...just little nudges.

I had a notion a few nights ago that the problem of escaping the death traps was similar to making bad choices like smoking. I thought smokers say they want to quit smoking...but never do. At one level they do, but their preferences are time inconsistent...the pleasures perceived from the present choice outweigh the rational benefit in the future.

The death traps might work similarly. People get faced with short term attachments. They know they are better off just leaving them behind and not panicking over them but something about the ISBE prevents this and they make a different choice.

I started "talking" with an ET social scientist about this the other night. I brought up the work of the economist Richard Thaler, who said one way of resolving this issue was to give people "nudges"...little incentives to help nudge them to the right choice that they really prefer to make. For example, you could give the smoker a cookie or $100 every day they didn't smoke and often it would be enough to overcome the other craving. I asked this ET if they thought this would work. They said they had already thought of this and the plan was to basically to help give humanity "lots of nudges" en masse in the near future.

I went to on to classify three categories of ISBEs. The first was like Jesus or Buddha or other sufficiently advanced ETs who are focused enough they can escape the death traps without external nudges. The third was like my cat, maybe easily persuaded into a form just to continue getting what they want; for the present, a cat is focused on the now rather than the cosmic. The second was us humans. We have some very specific attachments. Sometimes they get stronger by focusing on our physical existence. There's a spiritual side to us, however, and most of us realize we're more than just our stuff, but we still sort of are short-sighted at the critical moment. We're not all smokers but when it comes to the death traps, we act like them. We can't take the long view.

The good ETs mainly are here to help nudge us a bit. Ok, maybe more than a bit. ISBEs do seem to be at different levels with this choice stuff, and they recognize our potential to awaken. They're worried if we don't then it will be a problem for us and maybe for them as well. We could grow increasingly powerful but disconnected from source.

Anyways, I think I'm getting better at communicating with the ETs. Just trying to listen quietly. Waking up from the dream one dream at a time.

> We could grow increasingly powerful but disconnected from source.

One cannot «separate» from the «omni-present» (Source) because «omni-present» by definition means existing everywhere; Source is Dual-Aspect: Both the Freedom and the Oppression

You simply need to align with its Love/Freedom Aspect and not its Hate/War-Aspect.

You have accomplished the first step in even knowing that death is not final and that there is Technical Reincarnation Machinery.

It's not just vague religious drawings or imagery.

As with the other things, you are learning about looking through space and time. As Courtney says, 'Its normal' but has been heavily repressed in Humanities History by the bad ET.

You can simply be happy and think of it in that your inner-self has made itself known to your outer self and that it sees what is going on, even ahead of time.

Perhaps your inner self wants you to know that it wants to be part of your life as well.

Be Happy, enjoy and continue. It's not a once off but it isn't something that can be forced to work when you want. Most likely the other way around if and when you can. :-)

Thanks for sharing. Early on for me I had dreams of animals, insects that I never new existed and and I was able to find them with a google/AI search based on my description in my dream that I received through instant knowing and images that I see. This was my nudge.

Still working on my "full human abilities" still a newbie as I have only been at it for about 9 months. Thus sharing your lived experience is very helpful... given how bananas all this is from the naive human perspective.
