The Paranormal

[Blaze]

Awesome thread Andrew.
I don't consider myself a psychic. But I do see apparitions more than I would like to admit. My Aunt was a spiritual healer, psychic clairvoyant and pretty well reknown in Hawaii.
When I was younger, I always felt things around me. But as hyper as I was, I never really took them serious because there was always another tree to climb, fort to build, and skate board contest to win. As I got into my teens, I was surfing. I caught what seem to be the perfect wave, well I wiped out, board hit my head, and I was pulled under. I don't remember, but they say another surfer pulled me in and a life guard revived me from a flat-liner. So I lived to surf another day, is how I put it. A few years later, I got cancer, and once again,and fought a long hard battle, I was classified as a flat-liner. Then 6 almost 7 years ago, I got into a motorcycle accident, Once again, I don't remember, but friends said, I was clipped on the back wheel from a 18-wheeler, went air borne about 30 feet, ate pavement for about another 20 feet before being embedded by a tree branch that split my helmet and went through my skull.
This time I was clinically considered dead, dead, flat-lined. The part I do remember, is liftng above my body, seeing people I didn't know trying to revive me as I laid there, I felt peace, no pain, just kinda, in limbo of serenity. Then I seen a very bright white and silver light beam, to which I could feel myself being drawn to. As I was being pulled towards this beautiful light, I seen my parents, my grand parents, cousins, friends, all just smiling and waiting. I was once again feeling very happy, excited, relaxed, pain free. Then with a mighty feeling of being yanked and sucked through a hose, I guess I was revived, and the pain, the aweful pain was all I felt, then again, I don't remember.
Weeks later, I was brought out of a coma, then had to relearn to walk, talk, eat, and do all the normal things that we take for granted. Any way. It started then. I started seeing apparitions, first they seemed like a dream. Then they started coming to me, as to ask for help, I guess because I could see them. Then I started seeing apparitions everywhere I went, and everything I did. The spirits, I can handle, it's the dark apparitions that tend to freak me out, I don't know if they are taunting me, trying to scare me, or just being evil as there energies are, as they draw lots of energy to manifest. Oh well. That's what I deal with, be it a gift, or a curse. It's what I deal with 24/7 a day/night. So for those who think that I have a wild imagination, or that I am crazy. Think as you will... The more I talk about it, the easier it becomes for me to accept what I am/do. Laugh if you must. But unless or that is until you walk in my shoes. I think it will be me that perhaps, just perhaps may have the last laugh...

Blaze,

I do believe you. I have seen things pretty much like you. My Grandmother was gifted, and also passed this onto me. I just struggle with expressing myself, and with what I have experienced. I do believe that spirits are with us at all times. I don't believe in "death" per sea, but that it is just a rebirth happening over again repeatedly.

There is evil in this world. As much as I hate to admit it, there is.

I do think that the spirit world is more attracted to those who are injured in some form or fashion. It just is a comfort for me.

When my sister was dying, she was at NIH in Bethesda at one point. Everyone wanted to be there. We never encountered anyone who was there just collecting a paycheck. The nurses were angels. I can't even begin to thank them enough. I know that when I was walking the halls at NIH, I would see aberitions. They were happy. Not one was sick, or suffering. Just smiling ear to ear, and looking so peaceful.

So yes, I do get it.

[JustLovelyJenn]

Well, I tend to follow promptings... and it appears that now is the time to talk, so here goes.

I may have a slightly different take on all of this then some of you. I am not Christian. But, I have been dealing with my "gifts" for as long as I can remember.

So, what I can do. I am a clairvoyant, an audio-sensory, and a reader. My clairvoyance is unique, I have yet to run into anyone who's works the same as mine. I don't hear someone thoughts, I see them. This makes things different, more difficult, but also give me the advantage of seeing things that are more deeply rooted, more subconscious. The strongest and earliest example I have was in my teens. A friend that I was close to was over to the house, and very suddenly I could see a yard, filled with smoke, and a red wagon with a crying baby in it. I felt scared and confused and shocked. I looked up at him and asked, when was the fire... He looked at me like he had seen a ghost. His family had suffered a house fire when he was a young child, his baby sister had been in the wagon, and they were standing on the road watching. I take this ability very seriously, and it takes a lot of effort to control it so I am not seeing thoughts from people projected everywhere I go. The cacophony can be extremely overwhelming and I also feel that it is an invasion of someone privacy for me to know these private and personal things about them without their knowledge.

The audio-sensory is more straight forward. I get whispers from spirits, ghosts, what have you. They warn me of things, ask for help, or just talk because they know I can here. When I was younger I could see them more, and I remember two people that no one could see checking on me in bed in the night... when my mother was in the hospital, in labor with my brother. I too have had experiences with the dark. Ones that will never leave my memory, and are as vivid today as the day they happened. When I was 4 years old, sleeping in my bedroom I saw an aperation. A figure with a green face studied me so intensely and then asked me if I worshiped the devil. I answered him no, and he went away. But, so many years later I still remember every detail, the sound of my mother washing dishes in the kitchen, the light coming in under the door, the tone of his voice. I shut off this ability at one point, denied it completely, when I allowed it back into my life it was different. I don't see them anymore. I can hear them, I know what they look like, I see flickers of shadows, but I don't actually see them. I still have many moment of denial with this gift in particular. But my Guides see fit to remind me of its truth on a regular basis.

Because of what I can do, and the insistent stream of people who seem to come in and out of my life looking for guidance and assistance, I have chosen to develop my skills as a reader. I read Tarot, as well as Oracles and Runes, and I read palms. I have never and will never asked for any money for my services. I do it because I am prompted to, because my Guides tell me it is needed.

I do understand the need to laugh sometimes. That there is so much around us, so many things that people can't or won't believe. Its a good thing, I think, to be able to laugh at it a bit. A ghost with a more annoying voice, or the sight of something out of the corner of my eye. The laughter helps for it not to overtake my life, makes it easier to keep from being overwhelmed.

Jenn,

I don't think it is a matter of being Christain, Wiccan, Buddhist, Islamic, Pagan, or whatever. It is a gift of granting peace to someone. Thanks for sharing yourself with us. I appreciate it.

For myself, I do carry Holy Water in my pocket, and I use it on a pretty regular basis all over my home, and on my pets. I also wear blessed medals of Mary, St. Francis, St. Michael, and St. Benedict all for protection. Does anyone else?

Namaste,
Andrew

Great post Jenn.

One of my exes had an incredible gift - almost exact as yours. It was quite scary and mind blowing how she would walk up to a total stranger (because she felt that pull) and start telling them things only they would know and passing on messages. Her gift was so powerful and so accurate - she had a way of changing any skeptic's mind.

I've "seen" so many things and experienced such some strange oddities in my life - sometimes you do have to laugh about things - not a "ha-ha that was funny" kind of laughter, but a way to shrug off the overwhelming feel of it all. (And sometimes it is kinda funny, lol). Being too serious about it, for me, would probably drive me to insanity.

[LadyFlamezzz]

First though i want to say I believe we are all gifted with sight into the other realms , we just have to be open to it. As someone said below as a child she saw more than as she grew older. I think because of everyday stress of just dealing with life and the many obstacles we tend to put that vision behind us as we grow older. Just to deal with life in general. I believe in ghost spirits entities demons incubus succubus dark shadows that float in to our peripheral vision so often. I also believe in lost energies souls that still roam for a number of reasons be it a traumatic death or what have you. We are based of energy. That is the core of all of us, to me that's the soul. anyway on to my story, I can get very long winded on this topic,lol

When my mom passed several years ago. I got the call to come NOW her blood pressure was falling. I missed her last heart beat by three minutes. My normal reaction was to run to her hold her in my arms and scream with my head buried beside her's on her pillow...when this occurred i saw a tunnel surrounded by a white light. The room filled with a white mist much like a cloud had come down and encompassed the room and the air chilled a bit, " I notice things like this naturally like many of you do" I believe in my heart that she waited to release her soul to follow that tunnel until I arrived. I know she is happy and pain free now and she still although crossed over as they say visits me often...the mist will fill a room i am entering and i just know it's her all the other apparitions i have seen in my life never presented with a mist.

I have read tarot since i was 14 i am now 51, I never charge for such a gift...and my insight flows freely no visions of whats to come I just know... I read people's vibrations well, I can tell a fraud a mile away with my eyes closed,lol

Incubus are the real lil devils,lol < they are so naughty>

Good thread Andrew...and Blaze i recall that accident well "the one with the bike'...glad you came back to you!

I do want to add I believe it is the higher power which gives the gift of sight to us and hearing the others...It's not to control or have another God before "me" anyway....Just to expand on the numerous possibilities for people and their future "choices' tarot is a tool used by myself as a guide for people. Much like counseling someone , accept i can cover more area because the cards tell me about the past as well as the future and what it MAY hold...any one can alter their future with one simple step in the opposite direction they are on at present. it's not worshiping the devil!

oopsy i got a little long winded i warned yall !

[Andrew, Jr.]

Thank you Lady Flamezzz. I appreciate you sharing your story. I find it very odd when other people question those who have a gift. Maybe it is jealously. I don't know. I learned years ago not to judge. It is something that my late Grandmother taught me and most recently my Godmother retaught me. Being human we all judge, but it is not our place to do so. It is God's and God's alone.

Yes, I agree with you about how we are all energy. We are. And when I talk about having different levels, planes, or vibrations of reality - I think until you experience what we do, you will not understand. For example you being able to see the mist. For me, being able to sense pain in someone. At NIH, when I walked the hallways, I knew when someone was going to die. And I knew when they did. Instantly. And those who roam the hallways who died from a traumatic death...they were always around. Some were searching for loved ones, and some were searching for someone to help them cross over.

Laughter is the best medicine. True today as it was yesterday.

do you think people that have passed on can come to you in a dream? or is it just a dream?

Yes on both counts.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Yes, people who have died can come back to you in your dreams. I agree.

Remember, we are just passing thru in this life.

DESCRIPTION

The Ace of Cups shows is a symbol of possibility in the area of deep feelings, intimacy, attunement, compassion and love. In readings, it shows that a seed of emotional awareness has been planted in your life although you may not yet recognize it. When the seed sprouts, it could take almost any form. It might be an attraction, strong feeling, intuitive knowing, or sympathetic reaction. On the outside, it could be an offer, gift, opportunity, encounter or synchronistic event.

When you see this Ace, examine your life to see how its loving energy could work for you. This card often means that love is the essence of the situation. It may or may not be romantic love. Look for ways in which you can begin to connect with others. Do you have someone to forgive, or do you want to ask for forgiveness? Can you set aside your anger and find peace? Would you like to drop your reserve and let your feelings show? The Ace of Cups tells you that your time is coming.

This card also suggests inner attunement and spirituality. Cups are the suit of the heart, and the Ace stands for the direct knowing that comes from the heart. Trust what your feelings are telling you. Seek out ways to explore your consciousness and your connections with Spirit. Allow the power of your emotions to guide you in a new direction. Embrace the love that is the Ace of Cups.

Hi Laidbackgrly
This is how all my relatives and spirit guides give me messages. It's strongest when I sleep. I tend not to believe it's real when I'm awake...LOL. I always have that doubt of "is it real or am I just thinking it?". I always have a writing pad next to me in case I get something that really stood out. I write it down and date it. Sometimes I dont understand what it means for a few days, so I can go back and read and make the connection.

[Ghost Huntin' Daddy]

Ok, I'm gonna post some stuff I've been discussing with other paranormal peeps. There are no right or wrong answers to these questions! They are just thought provoking and interesting to learn how others see things. So no arguing! LOL

What's the difference between a ghost and a spirit?

What's an "orb"?

Do you believe cemeteries are haunted? and why?

Let's start there....have fun! I'll be back soon, I hope..LOL

In Reply:

I know you mean't nothing bad by it but aren't we all noral?
Every person is unique so there is no such thing as one type of normal..right?


Also, everyone holds gifts and the ability to do these things..Some are simply using other gifts currently and may not need certain ones in this journey.

Or they have not crossed the path which these have been shown.

But all in all we share who we are and teach who we are as we go.

Just saying...

There really is nothing inexplicable about creating fire or being able to control nature. We do it everyday for better or worse, to ourselves and nature collectively. I will try to enlighten you. This whole cosmos as explained by my teacher from India, was a projected thought of God, not Satan. A dream out of God's mind. Even as we have dreams. God first formed the Earth as an idea, and then quickened it; atomic energy and then matter came into being. God coordinated earth atoms into a solid sphere. All its molecules are held together by the will of God. When God withdraws this willpower, all earth atoms will be transformed into energy. Atom energy will return to it's source:consciousness. The earth idea will disappear from objectivity. The substance of a dream is held in materialization by the subconscious thought of the dreamer. When we awake, the dream disolves. We as God's children are also able to command atoms to combine and MANIFEST themselves into any form. The theory of atomic structure of matter is expounded in ancient Indian Vaisesika and Nyaya treatises. Vast worlds lie within the hollow of each atom.

I had an interesting experience on Thursday...

As I was leaving to drive to the mountains for the holiday, I was distracted by a huge flock of blackbirds outside my apartment. The woods were absolutely full of these birds.They were flying around me and from tree to tree. And were really loud too. It looked like one of those huge migratory flocks was filling the trees. There were hundreds of them. It was so cool and somewhat hypnotic. I could not tear myself away and watched them for at least ten minutes. When I snapped to and walked around to my car the birds started to fly away. Naturally I had to watch this too.

I've seen these huge flocks before but have never seen them land anywhere but power lines or in open fields. It was like something from a Hitchcock movie. I was able to take some video with my phone - you can hear them better than you can see them.

Call me crazy but I think these birds were sent to me. Watching them delayed my departure by about 30 minutes. As I headed out Billy Graham Parkway I encountered an ugly 4 vehicle wreck (3 SUVs and a car) that looked about 30 minutes old. The whole scene gave me such a chill it made the hair on my arms and the back of my neck stand up. I believe if not for the distraction of the birds I would have been in that wreck.

[MasterWolf]

Ok maybe this is the place to post this... For the past 4-5 years I have this problem with streetlights. At least once every time I drive at night, streetlights will go out, (sometimes suddenly turn on when they had been out), when I go under them. Everyone who rides with me comments on it, and I've never heard of this kind of thing happening.

Last night I was walking from the library to my car and had to walk under two lights along the walk. Both of them turned off when I passed under them and then turned themselves back ON before I got to my car. I suspected it was a miswired motion sensor, so I sat there and watched while other patrons walked past them... nope, they stayed on.

A friend of mine offered a theory that its because I do quite a bit of energy healing work, but she had never heard anything so goofy before either.

If anyone here has experienced this kind of thing with great consistency or knows what the heck it might be....

peace

Wolf

I have always been interested in the spirit world the morning of my mother passing. I remember it quiet well I was still sleeping and still had like four hours till work when all of a sudden I heard my mother voice telling me " it will be ok " and I woke up then and seen a small dim light and a few seconds it was gone and my phone rang it was a family member calling to inform me that my mother just passed away. Ever since then it has changed my life. second when I was younger I almost drowned off the coast of NJ beach and from that point I have dreams which come true later on. It sorta freaks me out but I still dream and not sure if I have any gifts or not.
