Stage Four ~ Lessons in Dreamtongue ~ Alpha Associating

You are successful with Alpha associating when you allow impressions to form without censoring them. As you increase your ability to make Alpha associations your Empathic sensitivity increases. Your Empathic sensitivity is measured by the extent of your ability to make Alpha associations.
Alpha messages normally come to you when there is a need for you to know something. That need is determined by your interest in the information and the seriousness of the information. If someone you know really wants or needs to get in touch with you, their feelings will generate a Beta message (remember: Empathic energy generated and sent out is a form of Beta).
Your reception of that message can occur at any level. If the person sending you the signal is in distress, then you might receive the message at a Beta level, with a physical reaction - let's say, a constriction in the chest. If the signal is not that strong, the emotions are not that intense, then you might receive the message at the Alpha level. As an Alpha message it might come as a vague feeling of "something you need to do," or a general feeling that pulls you in the direction of that person.
One woman told me about the time when a friend of hers was in town, but her friend could not reach her by phone. She said that she decided that day to go out to lunch to a restaurant that she had never gone to before. She didn't know why but she really wanted to go there. When she got there she saw her out of town friend and they connected. The feeling or desire to go to that restaurant was the Alpha message. The out of town friend sent out a signal by wanting to make contact and the receiver responded by going to the same restaurant on the same day.
By contrast, if someone just says to you, "If you're Empathic, then read my mind," or something to the equivalent, there may not be a real need which generates Empathic activity. For some, the need to prove themselves may be strong enough, and sometimes the person making the challenge may actually have a need that is coming through in that moment. Empathic connections can be very intimate and not everyone will allow that intimacy - either consciously or unconsciously.
Alpha messages are the most common Empathic events. They occur all day and every day. Most of them are minor and never really surface into your awareness. Some are very useful and make developing your Alpha skills a practical matter. Alpha as your whispering dream voice is usually trying to tell you something that you can use.
Many times have I been searching for an address while in my car and I come to an intersection not sure of which way to turn. At that point I get a feeling of a pull to turn left. My dream voice is saying," turn left, turn left." My intellect is saying, "no turn right, the information that I have suggests that I turn right."
How many times have you been in that situation? The intellect is usually loud and clear. The dream voice is soft and easily drowned out. I have learned many lessons the hard way by ignoring the Alpha message and going the wrong direction.
There is what I call a cliché in psychic development classes about teaching the act of "creating parking spaces." As I mentioned earlier, I do not think you want to take on the formidable task of psychically lifting and moving an automobile. Instead, you can let your Alpha sense guide you to an area where someone is getting ready to leave and take that space. Your Alpha sense will guide you and pull you in a desired direction if you let it. Let's keep ourselves grounded.
Alphas can also guide you in decision making of all types. It is at this point that I instruct students to keep in mind that Empathic ability is merely one of their many abilities. Empathic ability is not to be your sole resource and method of operations.
You can gather facts through your waking mind, to analyze, evaluate, and use those facts through your intellect. Your Empathic nature can greatly enhance your intellectual skills but should not be used as a replacement for them. The most effective Empaths are the ones who integrate empathic ability with all of their other cognitive functions.
Alpha messages can guide you in communicating with others, either through speaking or writing. When you are talking with someone, pay attention to the Alpha messages you are getting during the conversation. Keep in mind that Alphas are not clear messages but instead are inclinations, pushes, and pulls.
Your skill at using Alphas will be influenced by your ability to recognize your own emotional states and needs. If you are talking with someone who you are angry with, regarding a specific situation, then the anger that you might feel during the conversation is not an Alpha message.
Being unclear about what is and what is not an Alpha message leads to many wrong conclusions. If you relax while you are talking to that person you can open up your Alpha sensitivity to them and get the signals you need to communicate more effectively. I will teach you an empathic breathing technique in the next lesson which will help you move into a relaxed Alpha state no matter where you are.
Your understanding of Beta and Alpha will expand as you learn the deeper Empathic senses in the following lessons. In order to complete your fourth stage of training and to prepare for the following stages you need to start a journal. Get a notebook or blank book of some sort. Label it "Dreamtongue Journal."
After you finish this chapter make your first entry into the journal. Write in it what you have learned so far about Dreamtongue, about Beta and Alpha. As you do this, do not write the words Beta and Alpha, instead use the Empathic alphabet:
for Beta use

for Alpha use
If you can turn these "thoughts" into NONVERBAL thoughts by using symbols instead of words, then you are already developing the ability to speak and understand Dreamtongue.
Begin to record times when you experience or have experienced Beta messages through your body, have generated healing or mental influence, and Alpha messages of all types.
Practice Alpha associating and record the experience in your Dreamtongue journal. Pay attention to your dreams and enter them in the journal. Observe the world with its many wonders and problems, and record your observations and responses. This is your journal as an empath.
Even though you will complete the ninth stage of your preliminary training as you complete the ninth lesson, keep this journal for at least a year's time. Treat it as an important part of your development.
