As anyone been told they where seen somewhere even though you werent there?
371`s experience reminds me of a time i was shopping in the supermarket and this middle aged women came over to me and said hello. she had recollection in her eyes and I intially thought that I had done some work at her house. I couldnt recall her but off she went talking about the family of hers and using words like "...and your sister Terri as moved to..." . When I heard this at little alarm bell began ringing in my head - shes mistaken my identity. I found my self nodding and listening to her but wished to escape. The longer she went on the harder it became to butt in and explain hat she had got the wrong person. I began moving away and she followed. She talked of her mothers illness and how much better she was. I secretly prayed for my phone to ring so i could get out of there but no such luck. we ended up near cafeteria and she explained that she had to go. As she went she stopped and turned to me pointing out her mother who was sat down eating. She called her and said "look mother its Thomas" the mother looked up smiled and waved. She recognised me too! I waved as I rushed away feeling very silly indeed. I later thought - WOW! Is there another me living elsewhere!? Earlier this year on a saturday evening I was heading to town in a taxi when the driver asked me what job i did. I told him and he explained that the other day he had picked up a doctor who looked just like me and wore the same shirt I had on! Many years ago I have been told by friends that they spotted me somewhere else, sometimes driving nice looking cars. I would love to meet this strange twin i have but this hasnt happened yet.

My father at the end of a long bout with cancer, volenteered for an experimental procedure, but to do this operation the doctors took him off one of his meds for his heart. Turned out that med was working because he soon collapsed into a coma. I just happen to be at the hospital ten min. after he collapsed.
Soon the hospital doctors and staff stablized dad, and gave me the grim new that he was dying. I have never seen death as the end so it wan't that hard to take. Soon My brothers and sisters were all there and deciding what to do. We were raised in a christian belief that follows the laying on of hands. My family elected me to search the spirit of things and to lay my hands on my dying father and give a blessing. I was moved by a power I have only felt a few times in my life, I saw many things, how the others that have passed wait for the next arrival with open arms and love. How this life is just a step to the next. As I blessed my father I said that all the family will gather together to say goodbye to him, that in the morning he we awaken to say farwell and then give up his wandering in this place and go to the next. I went home that night seeing no need to stay there, I slept a peaceful night. In the morning I made my way to the hospital to find my aunts, uncles, cousins and my grandmither, plus all my siblings waiting for death. I went into the room with dad there the ventilator taped to his mouth, his eyes empty and distant. My brother Steve and my sister told me he hasen't even moved a muscle all night. I smiled at them and said "it is time", with that I grabbed dads hand and said " Dad it's time to wake up...wake up Pop". In that instant his eyes focused and he woke up. He had no idea what he was doing there or what had happened. I had to tell dad that he was dying and that it would be hours, but that the family wanted to send thier love to him in person before he left. one by one each member of the family told him how much he is loved, thanked him for the person he is, and the love he had brought to the family. When everyone had said a last goodbye, my sister and oldest brother quietly went into dads room one last time. With tears in our eyes I told dad that his body is wore out and it is ok for hiim to go now. The three of us were almost chanting "it's ok dad, yuo can go now" My father let go and with the sound of a heart monitor making that flatline sound he was gone. I miss my father, and I am proud to be his son. He was a leader for me in life to the end. Through it all he never feared and never let on that the unknowen scared him. I give this in the hopes that it will give you strenght to face the unknowen with peace and love. Without death life means nothing. Be at peace |

hi,
great idea for a thread! this is partly cut/pasted from my earlier post in another thread... I apoligise for long post, this is the most special thing that ever happened to me and the first ever 'public outing' of my experience ... 'eeek!' lol The most incredible and truly mind blowing thing I've had was a Near Death Experience, in hospital, 21 years ago, when I did actually die, clinically, briefly, and went to the "other side" for a moment or three!! I could spend hours chatting and trying to describe fully and in detail what happened, but it probably only lasted a few minutes, but felt like SO much longer! It was the most amazing, wonderful, beautiful thing I have ever ever experienced.. just talking about it still makes my hair go up on back of my neck and makes my whole body tingle talk of it! Even though it happened 21 years ago, it's as clear and vivid as if it happened an hour ago. Well, there IO was, very very sick ona hospital bed, when I just remember the Doctor saying to someone "nothing else we can do" and I realised I was floating up out of my body, and up to the ceiling. I could feel my back pressed against the ceiling of the hospital room. I was watching the Medics around my own body talking, I could CLEARLY hear what they were saying.. and can still remember to this day. It felt I was floating there for about a few minutes. I felt strangely calm, just observing quietly. Next thing, I was 'whizzed off" somewhere, at speed of light/sound ? .. So quick! I was floating/flying down a long long long tunnel.. with bright white light at the end.. the tunnel was quite dark, but I felt an OVERWHELMING, and all pervasive sense of Deep DEEP peace, joy and calm, it was like being enveloped in a bubble/blanket of sheer bliss and peace and beauty... like nothing I can ever adequately describe, nor anything I have ever experienced since I came back to earth!! When I got to the end of the tunnel, and to the bright bright light, I then found myself out of the tunnel but now floating along on what seemed to be thin air ... but felt joyous and uplifted and so so peaceful ... there was a quite high stone wall running for miles and miles on my right hand side, and even though it was very high, I could float up a bit and see over it.. well.. what I saw was simply the MOST BEAUTIFUL, MOST PEACEFUL and most AMAZING place I could ever imagine.. like a wide panormaic gardens/landscape, with rivers, ponds, fountains, flowers, trees, hills, plains, etc etc, the most incredible thing about this place was the colour, it was like nothing at all on earth, it was almost technicolour, really really vivid and beautiful colours, like nothing I've ever seen here! There were a few distinct features, a few pathways.. they that looked like irradiant glass or something, beautiful colours.. leading off into an invisible distance... and also one very very intruiging building (the only building I could see in the whole place.. it was quite small, quite simple, and I can only accurately describe it as like a cross between a garden gazebo/summer house and a domed temple... it has the most incredible golden light shining out through it ... in fact, the whole sky of this place was nothing like here, it was somehow golden and blue at the same time... the quality of the light was just UNBELIEVABLE! Truly bright! There were seats dotted around, with quite a lot of people... many sat, calmly chatting, some in small groups under trees, some sat on the grass, some walking down the pathways... I couldn't hear any voices, but they were communicating with each other... there was a DEEP sense of peace and calm amongst everyone... and I felt very clearly like they were "waiting".. like this was some kind of "waiting" or "reception" area... It felt like a gentle summer day, warm, comfortable, and I was happily floating along this wall, looking over the top into this landscape, then then a gate appeared quite a way up ahead, just an ordinary looking, old-fashioned tall wooden garden gate, the type they used to have in old stone walls.. as I was floating nearer this gate, I could see a figure stood next to it.. it seemed to take a while to get up close (the floating sensation/my movements were not being dictated by me, but by some other energy/power carrying me along, at a gentle pace!) ... Anyway, I finally reached this gate, and there in front of me, large as life and as real as I am sat here now, was my Gran, bless her soul, who passed away from earth almost 40 years ago .. well, there she was, real as anything, stood there, totally well and real and looking lovely and radiant... (she 'died' of lung cancer)... I was speechless!! She smiled such a warm and loving smile, and I felt her hug me, which was wonderful, even though she didn't actually touch me at all!! I felt the most incredible love and peace and happiness and calm, it's beyond anything I've ever felt here! Well... I just felt SO happy but also a bit shocked I think, and was speechless, she spoke briefly (telepathically I think, as I know she was speaking but there were no voices at all!), she gave me a message (3 very clear sentences which will live with me forever) and then, she smiled.. and in a fraction of a second I was being 'floated' backwards, at some speed this time, all the way back along the wall, my Gran disappearing in the distance, all the way back to the tunnel and then I saw and felt myself come back into my body, and that was when I "awoke" on the hospital bed... with a massive gasp of air and a major body spasm! Well, that was 21 years ago. It was a miracle to me! And the start of a lot of things happening for me in my life, including my awakening/interest in spiritual matters (I was 21, had no knowledge or exposure to anything Spiritual or New Age or anything about NDE's or LIfe After here at that time in my life). I didn't experience anything "other worldly" after that for many many years, apart from sometimes having a really strong sense that my Gran was around sometimes, and also a feeling that I had some sort of lucky streak/serendipity throughout several years of my life afterwards. I didn't talk to hardly anyone about it (just one or two closest friends) for years and years! Then 3 years ago, I got ill. The first weekend I was ill, I had gone into town to go to the pharmacy/chemist for some remedies, thinking I just had flu or something, when I had another mind-blowing experience, this time my grandfather (he passed about 30 years ago, and I only met him a few times when he was on earth) .. he appeared to me in broad daylight, on this earth, in real time, in middle of town, real as REAL can be! And he SPOKE with me! I swear before God. He was flesh and bone and real! And it was DEFINITELY him! No doubt! Well, since then, the past 3 years? I never did get over that flu, and got more and more ill, and it was eventually found I have a progressive illness, but that's not what I want to convey on here!! The past 3 years, since that happened, I've had loads of regular, sometimes TOO Regular (lol), spiritual happenings, some publically witnessed, hard factual evidence of Life after Death, in the form of messages, visits, and 'happenings', from both my Grandmother (maternal) Bless her soul and also my Grandfather (paternal) Bless his soul. I've also been 'shown' things, taken on 'journeys', I mean off this planet, but REAL journeys, not dreams, and given messages... some of which I'm still trying to understand/work out what I'm meant to do with them (!), and some are, I believe, related to the world's possible future? I feel so lucky and grateful to have been graced with these events, and some of the wisest, most loving advice/guidance and support I could have ever wished for! In the last 18 months, I started to talk more openly with friends and family about all these events.. and sad to say that I have been somewhat "dropped" and/or "ridiculed" by quite a few, to put it mildly! .. so, I started to clam up about it all and only chat to a small handful of friends . But I have felt increasingly in recent months that I need to share this info, not for me, but perhaps because it might help one or two others in some way.. ?? am not sure how I can help, I'm just lil ol' me! am no expert or anything, but if in sharing what for me are my most special and precious experiences, even if it helps just one other person, in some small way, then that's ok for me! Blessings to all x |

Reading all these wonderful dreams and experiences makes me want to share more than just my recent happenings in the "We asked...it came" post (Ufology). It is far too long a post to repeat here, and has to do with an anomalous sighting that appeared for my son and I after "asking" to see something special.) This also has to do with me "asking" for signs in the past, and receiving indirect, but very obvious answers...
One night a few years ago, after looking up Crop Circles and sacred geometry on the computer and marveling over the obvious fact that there is soooo much more than what meets the eye, I retired to bed and as I lay there I asked "Please, please give me a sign that there is something real to the Crop Circle phenomenon and that there is a meaning behind their signs." I laid there for awhile before finally falling asleep. Moments after drifting off, I was awakened to the phone ringing. But it wasn't a complete ring. Just a 1/4 of a ring. Then again! A 1/2 ring! I freaked! I woke up my deeply sleeping husband after the first 1/4 ring and said "Oh my God, the phone! It rang, but not a normal ring!" And just as I was saying this I realized that perhaps this was my answer!! I made my husband get up to check the caller ID to see if a number had registered on it, but no call had come in!! So of course I had to tell him exactly what I had asked for, and that maybe this was someone/something giving me my answer! Soooo, strange. Another time, some years after the phone thing happened, I was deeply involved in the book "The Phoenix Lights" by Dr. Lynne Kitei. The book resonated so much with me, and there was such an affinity for the earth she had developed from seeing these amber orbs from her home on various occasions. I could not get the book out of my mind when I wasn't reading it. So, what do you know...one night at about 2 a.m. we were all asleep, and I woke up for some reason. As I am waking I notice this amber glow coming from my young son's bedroom. I tried to make sense of the glow and came to the realization that it was his globe light. A globe of the Earth (about 8 inches around) with a light inside that when you touch the base of it it goes on. Of course I woke my husband up because I was a bit spooked by it, and my son was sound asleep. I begged him to go shut it off, and he groggily obliged. The next day it dawned on me- "IT'S THE EARTH! AND IT'S AN AMBER COLORED ORB!!" Is it just me, or is that a bit too coincidental? Naturally my husband thinks I read into it too much, but COME ON! You can't deny that! THEN, the next morning we were all eating breakfast in the kitchen and after wards I went to my son's room to make the bed and open the shades, and guess what? The globe was on again! It would go on at such strange times, that we had to unplug it for a while. I finished the book a week or so later, plugged the globe back in, and we haven't had any issues with it since. And yet another time, (it feels so great to get this stuff off my chest to people who might actually care about it, because my family pretty much roll their eyes at me when I find true meaning in these happenings. Which, by the way, all have witnesses involved, so I don't know how they can deny it!) But another time, I was heavily into researching UFO's a short time after the globe incident and naturally I went to bed asking for another sign! Be careful people, you might get what you ask for! So, this time it involved the phone again, but instead of the phone ringing, it was beeping, like a morse code signal! In the middle of the night the phone starts doing random beeps, like the sound it makes when you're putting it back in the dock (I think it's the charge connection). So it's randomly beeping like that, and once again I'm waking up my husband, who hears it, too, and thinks maybe the phone isn't all the way in the dock. Well, of course this happens more than once at random times! A few days go by of this and it finally just stops happening after awhile. At this point I feel bad, because maybe I am receiving signs and I'm not responding, because I just don't KNOW HOW! How do you respond to these things? I mean, I actually feel really bad that I'm getting these miraculous answers back, but I don't know how to act upon them!! It's just amazing to me that these things truly happen to me in my life and people just brush it off like it's meaningless. Is it?? I think not. It's so amazing, and I haven't the foggiest clue what to do other than say "Thank You, I received your message" to the thin air. Any ideas? Last edited by karmakah; 11-13-2008 at 03:10 AM. |

One night in my teens when i was trying to sleep i heard a noise in the room which was distinct and kind of scared me a little. It was similar to a mild thud near my desk chair. there i was, breathing slowly just listening for another noise - which didnt come as expected. after what seemed like an eternity came the sound of metal rubbing against metal. Then a another sound joined it - the sound of something sat in my chair moving along as the noise of 2 metal coins where rubbed together. Soon after i just fell asleep awoke the next day and went to work. When i came home i heard my mother talking on the phone to a friend. She mentioned that our washing machine had been fixed today and the problem was two coins trapped inside!
Another time in when i was far younger i awoke on my back and opened my eyes to a most silent bedroom. I couldnt even hear the sound of the trees outside rustling in the wind. Has i lay there i could see something at the end of the bed and it looked similar to brett - our yorkshire terrier. The thing looked hairy and had pointed hears and two small blackish eyes which where fixed on me. The thing was leaning against the bed and its head reached around 12 inches obove the duvet. I wasnt afraid and just stared at it for a few minutes after which it fizzled away. I was alittle puzzled but felt it was my imagination or the dog somehow moving in the dark. I turned on to my side and saw brett laying next to me fast asleep! He hadnt moved! Again, strangley - i fell back to sleep. ( this one was also described in the nature spirit thread ) Again in my teens alot of strange un natural things occured to me and they where always after dark. I once lay in bed and felt a hand resting in my hair which was distinct and concerning. When i awoke in the early hours i felt a great feeling of peace in the room - almost like something had cleared away a bad atmosphere. I had alot of strange images that would entermy mind prior to sleep which where often of the little grey man type and they where animated - even rushing right up to my eyes. I had many sleepless nights back then. Overall, after reading what as be placed here I believe it shows how little we understand the full ability of the human being. These strange, coincedental, often wierd experiences point to an extra sense coming into play that is for some unknown(as yet) reason turned on and then off again. It is akin to a trip switch within the DNA being turned to the ON setting for a short while whilst we are in a certain place, location or atmosphere. This is my theory and any input into this is welcome. Macros |

Hi Macros and Karmakah,
Great sharing and glad this thread was started : ) Thanks Again, Macros! Karmakah, I would imagine that You are getting encoded information that Your Higher Self/Higher Consciousness is downloading when You get these phone rings and signals and beeps...it IS doing something good for You, imho, to help You 'tune-in' more to what is going on all around You now! I have had my own subtle and not so subtle electric light and lamp shows in my place in the last couple of years....rather wild ones those few weeks in January of 2007 when my vibration and frequency level was sky-high for a few weeks. I am leaving this link to some more communication I had with some Folks that asked on another site...as I said earlier I have not shared alot on the internet...just here and there with specific groups. But We all have had alot of things go on and more and more people are coming forward now...which is "exactly" what needs to occur for Us to take full self-responsibility to help change things in the now and help this energy circulate any way We can that does not infringe on free will : ) I am 11eagle11 in this thread Solar Healing!: http://www.celestinevision.com/celes...opic.php?t=739 Onward and Upward! |

As a kid, I used to see a man walking in my parents living room. I described him to my folks. My mom decided to ask her neighbor who had lived in the house before us, seeing as the neighbor had been there since that tract of houses was built.
I described the man who was the first owner of the house, that died in a fire. Completely non-threatening entity. ************* I was home sick from school one day, and while laying in bed with my mom, we heard a loud thump thump thump coming toward us in the back bedroom. We got up to investigate and one of the black iron burners from the stove turned the corner and landed at my feet. To get to the bedroom where we were, it had to make three sharp turns. No one was in the house besides us. ************* In 85, it was discovered that I was capable of attracting and communicating with "lost souls." After working with Thelma Moss, and Kerry Gaynor, I decided to put some intention into my communication, instead of being the receiver all the time. I discovered through automatic writing that I was in contact with two entities, who wanted to be kept a secret. When in my excitement i told a few people about them, plants would get knocked over in my house, things would go missing often, and glasses would be swiped off the table to shatter on the floor by an invisible force. My parents had had enough of this, I was told to cast them out. ************* In 88, one of my mothers friends had a 2 year old son. He was in the back yard with his father while his father was doing yard work. The boy was not being looked after for a few minutes and was found at the bottom of the pool. He was in a coma for weeks. I went to visit him, to put my hands on him, to communicate with him. Once. My mom, would go to the hospital where he was, to sit bedside, so that his folks could get errands done. When the boys mother got back to the hospital to relieve my mom, the boy came out of his coma and said my name, even though I never introduced myself. ************** In 95, I had a dream that my house was broken into, and my then husbands guns were stolen. I got up the next day, went to work, and on my way home, I got a phone call from my husband that we had in fact been broken into, and only the guns were stolen. That'll do it for now, CW |

Great stories people, keep them coming!
Big thanks to all who have contributed so far. Has anyone got any strange pics to share with us all? In one of my albums named "chaoscope" are badly translated jpg images that defy belief in terms of their content. The pics although created using complex math and chaos style formula have for me displayed faces and beings instead of pretty shapes and patterns. Anyone else used this program and got similar results? Macros |

I could not agree more that this truly is one of the most sincere threads I've read related to this sort of topic thus far...let's hope more follow...
I feel very strongly the need to let all of you know that reading these experiences confirms a lot of things for me: I am not alone in the world/universe (physically or spiritually) and that all of us coming together and sharing this is such a needed release (especially for me), and to be received by open eyes and minds is so reassuring. At times, I feel so frustrated because no one close to me in my life is willing to accept the wonder in the amazing things I've experienced, however small these things might be (except for my mom, who is very open-minded, but lives in another town...and my 8 year old son, who is also quite aware). I cannot express the importance of all of us sharing these undeniably meaningful moments in our life. EAGLESPIRIT: I read your story on the Celestine site. So sorry for the loss you've experienced, but yet so happy for you in your experiences that followed. And thank you for your opinion and advice on what I should do with the signals I receive. I'm fairly new at this (although these things have been happening to me for the majority of my life, I'm new at wanting to do something about/with it) so any positive advice I can get is welcome. JNANA: Thank you also for your reply, it makes such great sense to me. I can't even imagine being able to get to the place where you are meditatively. Perhaps someday! Thanks to everyone for their input here. And thanks to MACROS...for starting it. Peace! Last edited by karmakah; 11-13-2008 at 06:41 PM. |

Thanks Karmakah and I totally agree with you. I have found that discussing with friends and family doesnt always work too well. Although my grandmother is a keen listener and has many a strange tale to tell - all involving paranormal phenomena. Shes even seen a UFO and once when I stayed over she woke me up to go and look. What she showed me was a oblong white light which was hanging in the late night sky. It re appears every now and again and one night i took a pic of it and found my phone stopped working. I ended up getting a replacement phone and lost all images stored upon it. We both agreed about the creepy feeling it gave us when watching it - it knew we were observing it.
Tuza, cheers for that. When I was 4 or 5 years old (i think) there was a shadow of a man wearing a top hat who stood near my bedroom door at night. Sometimes he never appeared but when he did, he just stood and appeared to be either guarding me or watching me. In any case I used to scream the house down and prefer to sleep at my grandmothers instead. Macros |

I am glad You enjoyed some of My story. Some of the things that have occurred in my life in the last couple of years have been so spiritually surreal I could hardly believe some of them myself : ) You know, I'm Guided to leave this link of "Spirit of Change" magazine that is put together by good friends of mine. I do sweat lodge with them regularly too! You may find something in the magazine that helps You on Your journey. It is free and can be found at many holistic and natural food and herb stores around our area...or You can read it online. Alternative Medicine, Holistic Health and Natural Living Magazine for New England ~ Spirit of Change: http://www.spiritofchange.org/ A suggestion to You from Me on one form of Personal Meditation is to try to get in touch with nature as much as possible if You can. Quiet walks in the woods by a stream or maybe a park near You as often as You can. It is so important that We each really connect to Mother Earth spiritually in the rapidly changing times now! ![]() Thank You All for sharing in here, too! Onward and Upward! |

If I would have told myself 10 years ago, what I would feel now, or how I see the world now, I wouldn't have been able to believe myself, seeing how small and closed my mind really was, for what is all out there.
Now, to make it even better, I would love to look back in another 10 years and be able to say, we all did manage to change the world for the better... Against all odds, we managed to make all of mankind humane. If we manage that in my remaining lifetime here... That would defy belief. But would it defy belief for the better, or defy belief for the worse? Up goes the coin. -- ------------------------ And a story.. Gawd, so many to choose from. I had to choose between 2 people... Really choose. I couldn't for the life of me make up my mind, So I asked in my mind both people to help me and call me. Within a couple of minutes one called. Later I heard from the other, that she called me but the line was busy.... |

Our sons and daughters in future generations will look back with admiration and respect. Seeing how hard life was and yet how strong and united we became in creating a new world full of freedom.

Back in the 70's I was doing yoga. I was trying to get high without taking drugs. I liked LSD. I kept asking my friends where there was a way to expand conciousness without taking chemicals. Finally a woman turned me onto the book, "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda. I read it in one night and I usually don't even read books. It inspired me so much I packed my car and headed for Los Angeles where Yogananda had his Self Realisation Fellowship Headquarters. They just happened to need a printer and I was one so they let me in. I studied and practiced yoga for a year and a 1/2. While joggin ghome I began to feel better and better. I felt this might be the Bliss they talk about. I went to my room and contemplated it. It really was beyond belief, just as they say about it in the books on Enlightenment. I kept feeling better and better. It was like winning the lottery. It was better than sex. Even after my body fell asleep, my mind kept running. I enjoyed stopping my dreams and running them backward or forward just as I had read about. I could enter any state of mind I wanted to. I am sorry to say it only lasted 3 days. But it came back over my life from time to time.

Several years ago, my mom was in the hospital for a quintuple heart bypass operation. She was resting, but not asleep, and two recently departed relatives appeared in the corner of the room and smiled at her. She insists this was no halucination, and she was wide awake. She had been a confirmed atheist up to that point, but that has changed. She has taken a number of positive steps since then, including telling me about this event.
A number of things have happened to me recently, most too personal to discuss here at this time. My view of reality has changed so much in the last year that such things no longer defy belief! Many thanks to all of you who have shared your experiences. |
