Re: Psychics- are they the real deal or not?

((Like always I tend to ramble and fumble what I am trying to say so bare with me. Those who don't like reading long posts, run! hehe :) ))



I agree with many who have already posted that there are indeed sensitive attuned to psychic resonance’s of the past, future, or of objects and such.



I also agree with those who have said there are many who are simply "conning" whomever they are getting material goods from in exchange.



To echo one post above, if one has the sensitivity of the mind to be open to those realms, *shakes head* I cannot agree enough that if they had any self worth, they would not exploit it if they could in any way actively control it.



And that is the key. Active. Control.



Forgive me while I try and fuddle how to explain my view. I am of the belief that time is a human concept and what we know to be the past, present, future are likened to planes of existence that can and do occupy the same location as our perception of our physical selves. Also, that in the same way that some are sensitive to emotions, resonance’s of energies, energy manipulation ect that one can be sensitive to the ebbs and flows of "time" and can indeed on accident breach these "time" planes and gain insight on those levels of existence; however, due to the "nature of time" as we perceive it to be any image, feeling, or sound, must be translated, if you will, by our physical self’s means and abilities of associating our perception of a larger concept being shown into something explainable, understandable and comprehensible as an event/object/place etc familiar and recognizable to that individual. Following this vein, would give a hypothesis why one could indeed have the sensitivity to these "time" planes but the outcome, the telling of it etc is not 100%reliable.



For lack of better words and daring to be cliché: "It got lost in translation" of perception and the ability to perceive our world in its entirety.



Our physical body is I dare to say it, slower to evolve than many other creatures on this planet. It has taken many! generations to give our fingers the range of motion from our forefathers and they from their own for instance; yet, it is our brains that have evolved, in size, density, capacity at a phenomenal rate in relation to the rest of our body and our animal counterparts. Believing the above, it is not hard for me to ratify that within our species to develop extra sensory abilities to gain a better understanding/grasp of our world.



Thus saying the above. A person who was exceptionally gifted in this type of sensitivity would be plagued with things beyond their current level of full comprehension to relate; the ability itself would be largely unable to be controlled (erratic occurrences the norm rather than the exception) and would carry with it a gift of burden.

(For if you had the funny feeling that something bad was going to happen to a friend or a loved one but also the feeling that if it didn’t something worse would, what would you do? While conversely same situation, but no second feeling of something worse, would you give them warning at the expense of possibly losing them as a friend, or people wishing to lock you up?) If one was indeed gifted psychically in the realms of “time” I indeed believe it would be a gift of burden and would be held close to oneself rather than paraded around for entertainment, amusement or monetary material gain.





Again, I have babbled too much, fumbled too badly what I am trying to get across, so I’ll end it here. :)

Take care and be well all

More rants from the forums. Saves me from speaking of myself twice. *rubs hands* typing fingers get tired ya know!





Re: Your past lives, what do you know about them?

Posted: 01:41:54 - Oct 06 2007



This is a complicated question for me, for dispite having vivid dreams both while awake and asleep of places and images that I have never personally seen, I do not know if I believe I have had a previous life. If for no other reason than some of these vivid memory-like images seeming too ... fantastical, for me to believe.



Such obsurd highlights include:



- a lush dark, densly forested valley with a river snaking up between a double peeked mountain, while the valley itself was surrounded by desert. An army, or kingdom to the south, in or past the desert.



-A war of epic proportions, a large city in flames and drenched in red, the memory of being imprisoned naked save for a patch of cloth covering genitals, chained, beaten, carted off and feeling the fear, hate etc emotions of those around the cage. Being one of the objects of their hatred. Unable to stop the destruction.



-Lead to a stone altar within a chamber in a step pyramid, sense of duty, sense of "honour," adorned ritualistically, naked but painted with symbols, While laying on the altar with tablet like stones around it symbols similar to those on my body... words unrecognizable... felt forbidden to look at the symbols, some sort of snake creature or man in a garb resembling an ugly snake looming over me. Two others like it standing off to the side like guardsmen. Massive snake like idol behind the altar and the person/thing. Slaves to the sides of the walkway to the altar, all bare, unadorned. Unrestrained, my heart cut out as words unrecognizable are said over me. Heart fed still beating to a more recognizable person as a man, cloaked in black, symbols similar to the altar upon his cloak.



-Same chamber. Slaves bound in chains, more snake thing like guards. Slaves being brought forcefully bound and tied to the altar. I am cloaked in the same garb as the man from before. I eat of the slave's hearts and drink of their blood. Feeling of tribute paid.



-Images of being beheaded, burned, hanged, stabbed, gutted, bludgeoned, drowned, stoned to death, childbirth, suffocated/strangled and crushed.



-Images of being woken up in the middle of the night in an old farm house, a father yelling at my sisters to grab me and run. Mob at the door. Running through the field of tall plants... possibly wheat...Image flickering between childhood play, young woman, older woman, young boy, young man, older gentleman both in joy and in fear run through a field. All of them me. Field turns to forest/woods... trapped at the river. Old massive oak tree. Captured, strung up. Step outside myself, see my body become all those I saw racing through the field/woods.



-Watching a man and then in another instance a woman, dying under "lawful" punishments to protect me







These are just some tidbits of what I've dreampt/seen. Perhaps I am too skeptical but I believe they are not evidence enough of existance of a past life for myself. I am however sometimes able to patch into others emotions/dreams etc and am ironically, perhaps, more likely to believe it is simply my mind attempting to decipher what I am "picking up" than a past existance for myself.



Personally, if I did have a past life, I would wish to remain ignorant of it and focus solely upon the one before me.



Any attempts at meditating upon these or focusing etc, have only ended with more gruesome and fantastical images, or the meditation ends due to my intense and overwhelming fear.



I hope this answers the question to the best of my ability in regards to myself and my beliefs regarding myself.



Take care and be well

Hehe toodles all :)

Annnnd again i'm posting and totally killing off the Empathy thread on the forums. Bah *laughs*





Here's what I posted:

Ain't a guru by far, but if you want to try and block things more.Here's another little trick but for me its kinda hard to explain so bear with me as I try and fuddle out how to put it on paper...er... text based forum.



1)Focus on your innerself. Eyes closed, breathing slowly in and out. ( See my post above on this thread for a "breathing" tech)



2) Once you feel that you are focused, begin imagine something coming to your protection. Start visualizing that there is a bubble around you/your mind, a shield, or something else that comes to your mind as you close your eyes.



3)Give that object texture, colour, think of what that protective object in your mind feels like, tastes like, smells like. Involve all your senses in this visualization.



4) Now what happens when you touch the object. Does it expand to encompass you?... Does it rebound your hand/mind etc away like a knight's shield would?...Does it grow spikey and rapidly shift colours? Give this protective object in your mind a reaction



5) Focus your mind to try and attune this protective object in your mind to whatever you are trying to protect yourself mentally from.



6) Once you feel that you've "told" it what to protect you from enough. Embrace it. Attempt to bring it back/or into yourself. Make this "visualization" part of you.



7) When in need, close your eyes,or otherwise focus, upon your protective inner object.



8) If you feel like its not doing its job, focus again and rebuild it. However when you go to attune it, make sure you are specific about what you want it to protect, elsewise it will be well... essentually pummeled by things it shouldn't be concerned with when you are to "general" in what you want it to do.



( I am of the belief that everyone has inner mental shields, against attacks, against emotions, what have you...but it is working these inner boundaries, manipulating them until they are a concious effort that they will progress in intensity of protection)



Now again its kinda hard for me to explain but let me attempt to fuddle.



If you want to try and close yourself off so that you don't affect others as much or... so you don't have random smucks "picking up" that you're sensitive and attempting to play with you here's another little thing to I guess sort of "dampen" the "signal" so to speak of you being sensitive/empathic.



1)Focus on your innerself. Eyes closed, breathing slowly in and out. ( See my post somewhere above on this thread for a "breathing" tech)



2) Once you feel that you are focused, begin to imagine (in this case) a box ( or something else meant to "contain" something) within you. Unlike the "shields" where this object is outside and brought into the self, this box is "made" inside the self and stays inside. Attempt to "create" or "envison" this box somewhere near the temples of your body





3)Give that object texture, colour, think of what that protective object in your mind feels like, tastes like, smells like. Involve all your senses in this visualization.



4) Now attempt to focus and pour whatever elements you're trying to block yourself from giving off, into this box.



5) close the box



6) Now, attempt to hold this box in the back of your mind somewhere. Do not forget about this box, keep it in the background of your mind, not the foreground as you move on.



7) With the box in the background of your mind begin to focus upon what will bind it. Will it be string? Silk? metal chains... what have you but focus on some sort of device that will lock or maintain the closure of this box. Do not bring the silk ribbon to the box yet.



8) while keeping the box in the back of your mind, focus upon this binding apparatus. Give it texture, colour ect, attempt to give it more qualities of the senses than the box itself when you "created" it.



9) Move the ribbon to the back of your mind and bring the box to the foreground.



10)Attempt to move the box down slightly on your body somewhere near your mouth

and throat.



11) Bind the box with the ribbon, slowly, envision every wrapping of the ribbon. or every step of the device you attach to your container, as you close it.



12) Once you feel this box is secured, attempt to do this simultaniously (at the same time:



a)swallow slowly and envision the container flowing down naturally as if it were food.



b) Focus the box downwards and "create" a "holding cell" (for lack of a better term) approximately below your chest (ribs) but above your stomach (belly button)





*Shrugs* as I said its kinda hard to explain but I hope I kinda got it across. *shrugs*
