My Second Conversation with Starlight.I felt I wanted to continue talking with Starlight, to see if she could help me with the doubt I still had. "Hello Starlight," I opened. "Hello, Josh," she said in a gentle, loving voice. I was surprised — as I had been in my first conversation with her — as Starlight's reputation for being playful preceded her and since I appreciate that, too, I thought that's the character I would be interacting with. "Playfulness and humor — aren't those slices of Love? Other ways to express it?" Starlight asked. "I guess they can be," I answered. "I'm simply expressing what comes through me in the moment," she explained. Now, it is love in its truest form. Later it may be the playfulness you expected. I feel you are searching for a more serious approach now, to validate your experience." I thought about it and answered, "Yes, you're probably right. It often or always feels like I already know the information I get and my mind is just inserting it into the conversations. This makes me feel like I'm not really connecting and getting external answers." "Okay, try this: stop imagining what I'm saying and just let the words flow. See what comes. Just like you are doing now. It's not that what you get in conversation is wrong, just structured. You haven't truly let go to let the communication flow." "So how do I do that?" "You are. Just what you are doing now. You are making none of this up. It is me sending you messages and you simply receiving them." "Yes, it does feel a little different. It requires a slightly different approach," I agreed. Exploring Starlight's suggestion.I sat for a while, thinking about how this felt and feeling the subtle differences. Normally, I would start from a place of imagination, where I would connect with an animal and think how they would interact with me. This usually lets my mind relax enough to turn it into a conversation. But Starlight's suggestion of letting go just a little more felt different. It felt like I was taking the pressure off myself to "hear" the words and just letting the words or thoughts or feelings flow to me and through me. My day suddenly took a busy turn and I had to cut the conversation short, but promised Starlight to take things up where I left off. This kind of timing didn't feel like it mattered much to her. A few days or a few minutes in between were all the same. This is the second of six conversations I had with Starlight. You can read the next conversation with her here.
