You're joking right? Just kiddin'...I'm guessing most of the folks here can relate. Your story is interesting as it is an example of someone pretty much being yanked into this new world so to speak...and I would think it could be pretty traumatic for some.

Relax.

Probably the most startling thing for you is all the psychic manifestations. Sounds like you're getting hit with both barrels. You must be extremely gifted. In time you'll become at ease with these new experiences. If you remain open, you may meet people who will mentor you in one or more of these new ways of perceiving. And that's all it is: the boundaries of your perceptions have simply moved outward. I believe that part of this occurs when the pineal gland and the amygdala somehow come into a harmonic state. When this happens, sometimes the frontal lobes - that big part of the brain that no one is fully certain what all of it is there for - sometimes the frontal lobes kind of "snap" into synch with the amygdala and/or the third eye or pineal. I don't know if this is a real explanation for how our senses can be modified, but I do know that these parts of the brain are specially active, and can be made more so with conscious practice.

I used to do some crazy stuff...I'd've loved to have tried base jumping. You plainly have a unique combination of abilities to combine with this quickening new life within you. I'm glad for you, because from your description of yourself "before," you sounded like someone slipping into anomie. Now you are uniquely equipped to undertake an amazing new adventure, one that will never become boring.
