Autistic people communicate differently than we do. To us, it looks like they are perhaps mentally deficient, out of control, or simply unable to verbalize properly. However, psychically, spiritually, they are performing at a higher vibration and trying to cope with physical form. Therefore, it may appear that they cannot communicate, or that they do so imperfectly, but in reality, they are communicating in a language we do not yet understand. Dolphin-speak sounds like clicks and squeals to human ears, but the truth is that they speak psychically in highly sophisticated ways that we cannot understand.
Remember Raymond, from Rain Man? Raymond is an autistic savant, with superb recall but little understanding of subject matter. He is frightened by change and adheres to strict routines. Except when he is in distress, he shows little emotional expression and avoids eye contact.
I was thinking back to my own high school years, when I cared for a friend’s brother named Tim. Tim was autistic. The very first time I took care of Tim, I was terrified. I was not sure I would be able to communicate. I watched him make his bed perfectly. It would take him hours. I was so enthralled with the process. He was a gentle man. We spoke very little with words, yet I always knew what he needed and how he was feeling. Why I wonder today? The answer comes to me as I think about spirit communication and the different levels. What an amazing process.
A second “aha” moment comes back to me on communication... I was waiting tables at a restaurant years ago. I walked into my section to see way in the corner a woman. Her name was Susanne. I observed me section with her sitting there with a man. Her and her blank eyes. She turned her head and even though I was feet away her face lit up and she exclaimed with delight “Jolene!”. I remember being totally taken aback. How could she know it was I after not seeing her for years and her being blind? I hug my previous college dorm mother with great affection. I think again about the power of communication and recognition. You see Susanne was blind. Later that evening as I served her and her husband dinner she explained that she never forgets a smell. She knew me by how I smelled. And here I thought being a restaurant employee, I would smell like the steaks I served! Susanne also explained that seeing is more than physically seeing. She could see the soul colors too. It was something she taught herself with practice, but it started with her first opening up that part of her.
With reflection today on the impact Tim and Susanne had on my life, I willingly open myself up to other parts of communication within me. What a great lesson these two have for me in my life.
See not with the physical eyes today, but beyond. To see into the aura or etheric matter of another you must first look through your own. The process of seeing is accomplished through the discernment of differences or contrast and this principle of seeing operates on all levels.
Judgments prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances. -Wayne Dyer
Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle. -Walt Whitman
Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. -Jonathan Swift
