InspiraGrams

Writings from Afar

About the Process

Written By: Pat

In order for people to make their own “connection” and to understand the context of how these writings are created, I will discuss how I do things.  For you to make your own connection, it most likely will be different, but this may help you get started.

The Process I Use Today

I use the guest room upstairs in our house as the place I transcribe these InspiraGrams.  Remember, my goal is to serve as the conduit from the source to the keyboard.  However, I definitely can influence the subject of the writings.  For example, I think that a story would be nice, and low and behold a story comes through.  Or I may ask a question to myself or think about a topic, and a writing on that subject will come through.

Usually, every morning before I leave for work I go into the guest room, sit on the futon, cross my legs, and pile a few soft blankets on me.   I keep a small “netbook” computer on the stand next to me and a couple of pillows to prop up my arms.   I place the computer on my lap and cover up the touchpad with a bit of the blanket so I do not accidentally bump it while I’m transcribing.  I open it up to a word processor and enter the date and time.

Now I ding a little bowl gong, (for lack of a better word) and let the vibration flow through me.   I close my eyes for about a minute.  Sometimes I then type the words “I Am Ready” to signal the start.  I then type everything  that comes to me with very little regard for the content.  Most of the time I type with my eyes closed, but lately I’ve left them open so I can fix the “typos” as I go.

In the past, I would type as fast as I can, nearly non-stop for up to 30 minutes.  Now, I seem to type a little slower and cut things off at about 10 or 15 minutes.  When I finish, I record the end time.

I then go back and read the InspiraGram and fix any typos.  I have a general rule that I never change a word except when I know I have the wrong word.   For example, the other day I was trying to think of the word “acorn” but I just could not get it, and wrote something like “tree seed.”  It’s like the “tip of the tongue” phenomena you sometimes get in conversation.  When I finished the writing, “acorn” came to me, so I changed it.

However, I believe that it is not up to me to interpret these writings, but to provide you with as much raw data as possible.  If I think a word should be different I might include it within {}’s next to the original word or phrase.

Sometimes I will ask a question, which I may put in a bold font, or I may preface it with <P>.   Whenever, I am “talking” I will preface it with <P> so you know it’s me.

Everything Is Within My Vocabulary

When I first started, I thought that my fingers would just move to the keys and I would have no idea what I was typing.  That might be how it works for others, but for me, I know everything that I am typing.  However, I have a bit of the “dream phenomena” where an hour later, I sometimes have difficulty remembering what I typed.

Think of what I’m doing as an interpreter translating a foreign language to their own language.  Everything they translate will be limited to their own vocabulary.  That is the same for me.  However, I have noticed that sometimes the boundaries of my vocabulary are “stretched” to include words that I maybe forgot I knew.  That means that you may notice differences between my transcriptions and others that may be originating from the same source which they call “Abraham.”

    The inspirational messages are providing a safe and comfortable place for me to experience the freedom of feelings that are all too often denied or rejected as being non essential. I shall return to this place for continued inspirations. Thank you for inviting me.
