Recently, since before my vacation, I've been having a lot of psychic experiences. More than usual. I find myself 'knowing' a lot of stuff. Like reaching into my closet to grab a shirt and 'know' which one it is without seeing it physically.
Mostly just knowing stuff before it happens. If I don't focus on anything and just do things, these impressions come up.
Like the problem I had with my wiring two days ago. I started panicking but I remember seeing what happened before. And with that knowlegde (knowing I was going to cause some problems with cross wiring) I changed course and took it slower, calmer and thought my way through it. I only caused the fuse to spark the first time and not three times in the vision. I got it working again.

I've also noticed that in some of the visions I have of the future (not knowing it's the future at the time) I get really disturbed by these visions. Because it seems so bad in the vision, but when it happens, it is never so bad as I thought. I'm always calmer and less disturbed than what I thought I would be in the vision.

The impression I get is that this is a definite trend towards being more psychically in tune rather than just a high point.

(shrug, just wanted to say it out loud)

OKay, so since you have future visions.....what are the winning lottery numbers gonna be tonight?
=D

Kidding aside....I think it's great that your gift is tuning itself. I'm not sure why you "see" soemthing and the vision is really bad but then it's played out differently....I've had this same thing happen and usually it's right around "that time of the month" when my visions are gruesome and graphic. I think I'm safe when I rule out PMS for you, right? :lol:
I wonder though if it might have had anything to do with going back home....sometimes the act of going home stirs things inside and causes things to come to the surface that would otherwise lay dormat....does that make sense? I know you mentioned that it started before you went back but that it's been very strong since coming back, right? And hey! If it's gonna keep you from burning the house down or shocking the crap out of yourself, then LISTEN to it! =D
When you remove yourself from this, what are your thoughts about it?

That's great, Nakis. =) It's funny, but I noticed the older we get, more psychic abilities start to kick in. I just go with the flow and let it happen. Trust your gut.

Don't you also meditate a lot? I've heard it's good for increasing the ability, but I don't know - I've never tried it. ?_?

I'm glad all went well with the wiring! ;-)

Perhaps just being aware that you are having these vision help to change the outcomes. You are seeing things for a reason and when you acknowledge them, you change your path, ever so slightly and the outcome is better than what you had envisioned?

I don't know what you mean Mrs Grrl. When You remove yourself from this?
I went away on vacation (sort of) to San Antonio then D.C..
For the first 3 or 4 nights I got back I kept waking up at night not knowing where I was or what is going on. It's happened a few times since then too. I am so disorientated that I don't even know who I am. I don't get freaked out, I realize that I have to give myself a minute to orientate myself. I don't know why this happens. It does happen from time to time as in years apart.

I agree Kell. I think we get wiser and more in tune. I'm really learning to trust what my intuition says. Maybe that's why it's getting more pronounced.
I used to meditate a lot. Not so much anymore. Well the formal kind of sitting in position and doing the stuctured kind. I still do meditate but I tried to train myself to do it as part of everyday. To take time to just empty my mind and let it be still. I did experience a lot of psychic opening and spiritual bliss when I had meditated regularly and structurally. I can't say enough about meditation. It's the one thing all major religions agree on.

I think so Kim. I'll be right in the middle of something and I'll get flashes or sometimes whole sequences of events telling me what is going to happen. Then I decide what to do about it. I do take advantage of it to try to reduce what happens.
I've had a lot of visions about working on my new house and many of them seem to indicate me being more stressed and disturbed than I am. I'll see myself doing something and feel that I am really angry, frustrated, disturbed but as it is really occuring I won't feel that bad about it. Maybe seeing it that way changes the situation. Some people believe that just watching an event changes the outcome to some extent.

I didn't mean to confuse you...what I meant was when you step away fromt he emotional part of it and look at it with logic and reasoning, what is your opinion on why you've been getting these visions. Your answers to the other posts gave me the insight I was looking for. :redface:

Sorry, Miss Grrl, I operate mostly out of logic. I'm a very left brain thinker. If I experience something unusual I am immediately running through the possibilities. The hows, whys, what fors, etc... .
I don't know why we experince these things. Does it help our growth? I think so. When we know there is something beyond the mundane and normal we know to reach and look out. Are these things only symptoms of gaining that connection to the whole. That's what they believe in Yogic philosophy. In your search for the connection to the Whole you find that you develope and experience these kinds of things, but they are considered only distractions. Not the goal.

Has anyone ever had feelings about something that was NOT going to happen? I get these feelings quite often. Like, something we may have planned for for a long time, even, and totally within the realm of possibility that it will happen (things like doing a certain thing, or attending an event, or going on a vacation, etc.)

It is very strange, but I get this feeling that whatever it is will not come to pass, because I can't "see" myself in it. Yet, I have nothing to base anything like this on but intuition or psychic ability. This is a very hard feeling to explain, because it is about events that by all that is reasonable, are planned to become reality. Often, they get right to the very edge of becoming fact, but something will stop them from actually occurring or being completed. I never know what will stop the event, and I don't know why this keeps happening to me. It has for years. It is almost like my life's path is a network of tunnels. Some are blocked by something that is almost like a thin veil in my minds eye. I may travel that tunnel to a certain outcome, and it is there, at the end of the tunnel, but I just know in my gut that I will never get past that veil.

Does anyone understand this, or even understand what I am describing? It is just plain wierd, but this feeling is always right, even when it is something that I really want to occur. It have nothing to do with fear, or apprehension, at least not that I have been able to identify... it is just a strange 'ability' (?).

I tend to do this same thing. At times, I chalk it up to just being a bit of a pessimist, but it usually ends up correct. Sometimes you just can't "see" yourself doing something. One example that comes to mind happened when we were house hunting. We had almost settled on a "fixer-upper", and I was pretty desperate to get a house. However, I could not imagine myself living there, it was almost like a mental block. Sure enough, the realtor called us to say that another couple had a contract on the house, but if we would put "just a few more thousand" she was sure we would get it.
Needless to say, we said thanks, but no thanks.
Anyway, I do understand just what you are talking about.

Eeyup. I get it as just sort of a knowing. Something will be brought up or it will come to mind and I will just know that it won't happen. It works the same way for what will happen and what won't. I get that feeling that I just know. Sometimes it works by me saying something without thinking about what I am saying first. I'll just blurt out something. And it will have to do with something that will happen. Just little things. Nothing like being in the middle of a conversation about the weather and suddenly blurt out something about a plane crash. More like something small and pertinent to the near future of who's around or who's being talked about.

On a slightly different front, I have dreams about women I am interested in that I will never hook up with. In one dream I kept trying to get close to this woman of my interest and she always kept a few to several paces a head of me. Till the end of the dream. She was gone and then I saw her walking down a road going away. I knew what that meant. She liked me as a friend but wasn't interested in me any more than that.
In another dream for another woman I actually got to meet her new boyfriend before they hooked up. And I found about her divorce before she told anyone (remember I was only interested, I did nothing). In the dream I went to their house and her ex was all packed up and getting ready to drive away. Then there was this somewhat sickly guy lying in a bed in the house. I was talking to her (don't remember what we said, I never do) and she ended up ushering me into another room (dark room, out of the picture). Her new boyfriend and now new husband has had numerous health problems.
And these dreams also happen for other reasons too. Like meeting new people. I have dozens of people in dreams before I met them in real life. I have seen myself making friends with people I only know at the time and then it happens later (which may only be self-fulfilling prophecies).
I really pay attention to my dreams and what they mean.

Carrie, I really am not certain if it is pessimism at all, or maybe just slightly so... but, it is more, to me anyway, just a thing that is a very strong feeling that I am merely going through motions, preparing for something, but somehow, just can't see myself being there when it happens...

Nakis, unlike you, my 'visions' don't seem to come in my dreams, but while I am fully awake, I can't get the right feeling about something that is 'supposed to happen'. Like when Kell was engaged a few years back... we went through all of the right things, we bought her dress, and were actively planning things, as all brides and mothers of the bride would do. It was fun, but somehow, I couldn't see myself at her wedding, nor could I imagine them coming to visit as a married couple, nor having children, etc. She finally called it off.... a few months later. I don't know why I felt as I did, but that is one of many examples.... Another was the last time we were planning to buy a new car.... We were all hyped up, and usually went through with buying a car, once we decided to do it. But, it just didn't come to pass... and I had feeling about it that I really couldn't explain. We have purchased a few new vehicles in our married life, and we have never 'NOT' done it, once we decided to. It is just strange.... our normal salesman just didn't seem to put his heart into the sale, as he normally did, and things didn't feel right, so we changed our minds at the last minute.

I wish I knew more about these 'visions', or whatever you want to call them, but they have been present for me most all of my life!

Please be very tolerant, open and indulgent with this theory. I know you will Az.

If there is a God. And God created the universe, everything that we know of, understand and can percieve. God couldn't create it from some loose materials God found in his junk drawer. God would have created it from God. The Ultimate Creater created everything. So it would stand that everything is created from God. The entire universe. Including us. Since we are sentient and can perceive can't we then perceive that connectedness that is everything? Is it possible that when we see these things, feel these things that we are tapping into what that Connectedness is? So it would mean that there really isn't that much to understand. We are just experiencing our minds aligning with All That Is so we can see to some extent what will most likely happen.
When you were on your course to buy the car part of your perception could see that it wasn't something that was going to happen by being in that Connectedness.
It sounds a little loopy and hairbrain but it is a simplistic expression of Yogic philosophy. That we all exist as expressions of the same Thing. God. We percieve ourselves as seperate becuase of our bodies and environment. Yogis who work there way back to that connection in life experience all kinds of psychic phenomenom. But shrug it off as only side effects of the goal they seek. Connectedness.
I think that when most people who experience psychic phenomena, though they may not be consciously seeking a Connectedness, are experiencing it in part at least.

Please remember, this is just a theory. I don't pretend to understand or know what Truth is. Just a theory. Please no flames.

Nakis... you won't be flamed... we don't tolerate that here at SpiritKeep. We all learn SO much more by being openminded, tolerant, and compasionate to one another when we discuss beliefs, theories, and experiences. Each of us has his/her own personal reality, and that is a beautiful thing. Those who share with us are opening their heart, and it is our duty to take care not to trample those open hearts.

What you wrote made a great deal of sense to me. Your references to All That Is, and the great Connectedness, are not entirely foreign to me. While I don't know alot about Yoga, I do know that many of the world's religions and great teachings do carry a common thread... and this thread would be a part of the Connectedness you are referring to. The Creator, Great Spirit, God, Goddess, All That Is, or any other name that this omnipotent force is called by, was the One who created all and knows all.

I believe that it is (at least partially?) thru tolerance of others that we can gain a piece of this Connectedness, and that Connectedness grows, or diminishes, according to how we conduct ourselves when we interact with the other living things in our world.

Psychic ability is something that can be something we are 'blessed' with early in our lives, or it may not become apparent until we are a little older. Perhaps it depends on how cognizant we are of our own human spirit, it's powers, and how earnestly we study the nature of our reality and pursue the ultimate Truths. It is still a mystery, at best, but I do think there were many glimmers of truth in what you said, Nakis... at least for me. I am quite comfortable with what you said. It is a very deep and interesting subject, and something that always draws me into wanting to learn more about my own spiritual self.

Blessings,
Mare

I've had some similar thoughts on this myself Nakis. If we are made in God's image, it does stand to reason that we all carry a part of Him with us.
I've always thought these little glimpses of things were His way of telling me "Hey kid, don't get your hopes up." or "Everything is going to be ok..."
I don't believe your thoughts on this are too far out at all!
