I’ve been asked about this one quite a bit recently.  Illusion.  What is it and how does one determine what is and what isn’t?  And in the event, one is ‘seeing’ illusion, how can we move through it back to balance and alignment?

Not only do we have to contend with plague of untruths in front of our screens (tv, internet, other), we also have to vie with it in meditative space and healing practices.  Illusion: where we think we see something we aren’t, can present as falsehoods or indeed holograms in the spiritual sense.  For example, one thinks one is connecting with an angel such as Archangel Michael for protection, when one isn’t – only an imposter acting as an angel.  How can one tell?  If something doesn’t feel right, it invariably isn’t.  If it casts a seed of doubt or you to question the presence.  The easiest way is to ask 3 times: “Are you Love?”

The purpose is to confuse, misguide, mislead and misdirect, thus putting us off course.  Anything to distract you from honouring your light path, it can be cleverly disguised, however, reassuringly overtime and with observation one can learn to recognise illusions.  Holograms, for example, look like they do in the movies, it’s merely a projection designed to confuse the mind.

Unfortunately (and this article is more about encouraging an awareness to support your spiritual path), illusions can present in multidimensional space.  From personal experience the most poignant have been in healing sessions.  For example, I experienced a QHHT healing session, my first time using this modality, where the entire session (at the 11^th dimension) was a computer program and the session (sounds bonkers), had been hijacked.  There was reassuringly an underlying purpose to this and I knew something was off from other clues such as behaviours, how questions were being asked and responded to, as well as how I felt (discombobulated) after.  Key is not to worry, these experiences are deigned for progression, not for you to get stuck or sucked into.  I guarantee that an “a-ha!” moment can be experienced, if not after a period of solid reflection.

What tools can be helpful?  A pendulum to some extent; yes (though be mindful – some of us can move a pendulum with our minds); using our body to guide (e.g., spiritual chills for yes, some lean forward); or giving it to dreamtime.  The clarity should come after a good night’s sleep.  Not only is it useful to have an awareness, but be watchful that interactions with others might lead to some homework.  If all else fails my sturdy go to is to ask three times, determine which plane (also called dimension) it is coming from and get back to reality with a good grounding.
