How can you tell?

I am new to this and there is soooo much info out there.

Is there a way to find out if you are one or the other or both if that is possible?

I tried doing a search but couldn't find anything.

Thank you,

Rhonda

I can't think of any reason why you can't do both.  do you think you can't?

We are spirit within and this is the part of us that is light.  The more we practice spirituality, the brighter the light.  And at the same time, this is the part of us we attune with our guides from...spirit to spirit.  I would say, all things are possible!

I would think the two go hand in hand....

Ah, can you be a lightworker without empathy?  Yes, you can.  

Empathy is a tool or skill of the spirit in which you can 'wear' (for want of a better term) all the emotions of those in your environment.  You would actually be feeling from the spirit and can dismiss the physical symptoms...they are just manifest to inform.

A lightworker is someone with sympathy and compassion for the others that comes from the spirit.  It lights up their countenance from the spirit within when they spiritualize their activities.

Not all empathy workers need be lightworkers and not all lightworkers need have empathy.

But how can a person tell what they are?

On one hand I think I am an Empath,I am very emotional and can't even watch scary movies because I get phyically ill but on the other hand if a person around me is happy I am very happy and if they are sad,I am weepy.I also put myself in other peoples shoes always and people will usually tell me their problems.

But on the other hand I'm not sure what I am.

The best light on the subject is knowledge.  Learn all you can about either or both.  Then, no matter what you will be knowledgeable and able to cope with your own talents.  

The fact is...all spirit work is handled by the spirit within...you own.  Learning to understand, empower, balance, make positive and use for your own best good is the place to be with spirit and its work in the world.

We have tools of our own consciousness (visualization, meditation, affirmation) to empower and balance our own body, mind, spirit.  Use them to their best advantage and when the other spirit talents manifest, they will be in order.

Hello all---------

spiritual sensitivity has many labels-------avoid the labels----
your spiritual level is determined by you
Edgar Cayce often said "mind is the builder"
and that is true
it is not necessary that you are 100% of any label applied
thus avoid them
as you grow in spiritual strength you can pass through
many levels, thus being variously aware of your association
with the super conscious in different ways

love to all------The Ancient

I actualy agree with you.. Im not much for lables... but in this situation, it serves a purpose for further indentification, untill they feel strong enough to create their own... and empathy itself insnt a label...

There are an infinity of possibilities to be able to do all at the same time.  It is endless and it all depends on you and your dedication to learn.  Don't rush the process, because if you do, you will only learn only to find you will have set  yourself backwards and would have to learn it the proper way to maintain it.

I completely understand the want to learn all as quickly as possible, but what happens is that we will cut corners and instead of excellerating our process, we caused ourselves to waste more precious time if we just allow ourselves to learn our gifts as it should be learned.  The gift is more powerful than you would realize possible and it does take time to learn all aspects in order to always have them.

Everyone learns their abilities very different from the next person and there's no one way to learn the whole of it all.  You have to allow yourself to be able to see which technique is more inline with your own inner self and it will help guide you towards what direction you would take.  Enjoy your journey, for in the discovering is the best part about your gift abilities.

i have been told that i am a lightworker. that i am here to help bring the world love. that i'm to shine my love upon those that are close to me. which is kinda odd, cause i hate the world, everyone is so mean, and nobody cares. i feel alone.

Awwww Sonicpunk, sorry you feel that way. (((Hugs)))

The world is not as bad you think, hun. There is lots of good out there. LOTS.  
Look for the positive.  Spend more energy doing this than seeing the bad stuff.
I know it easier to find all the negatives, but what a downer!  

It is not unusual for 'lightworkers' to shirk away from the the hustle
and bustle of life. I suspect you are highly intuitive and are very sensitive to the
negativity in the world. You probably draw it to you like a magnet and suffer
unexplainable anxiety. Fear is your problem , not hate.  

Meditating and surrounding yourself  with protective light can shield you from
taking this on.  Learning how to protect yourself  will be very empowering. You
own your own light!  Pretty cool!  Let it shine!

One more thing, you are not alone.... unbelievable but true... many people feel alone!
Too many, considering the population on earth.  This is sad.

I  wish for you to find other lightworkers... to surround yourself with.

Peace
Evie

well, i dont know about intuitive. i believe my energies are closed off. they've said it was for my protection, for it my energies were open, i wouldnt be able to handle them, i'd be autistic. but yeah, i hate it when people are mean. thanks for the hugs.

sonicpunk32 · Post by **sonicpunk32** » Tue May 08, 2007 7:06 am

well, i just feel like there are people who are on my frequency of energy, and i want to find them. people who share the love i have inside. i want them.
