Magic Moments

Dear Friends,

Books,movies,channeled wisdom are great,they have there place, but experience is the best teacher.

I thought it would be fun to exchange some of our own experiences. If you are interested in a dialogue about something that felt very special,mind expanding or surprising that happened to/or around you....here is a place for it.

We all have heard stories of married couples,one dies and the other dies soon after for no apparent reason. I used to work with a nice guy,he was around thirty years old. He loved his father a great deal,they spent lots of time together fishing,talking,they really enjoyed each other. His father died. My friend died the next day! 30 and in good health.

I had an awakening while serving jury duty....which I will tell if any interest. Lets be our own best guide,and share our own experiences!

May we all learn and grow.Espavo.

Love,Mary

you are interested in a dialogue about something that felt very
special,mind expanding or surprising that happened to/or around
you....here is a place for it.

I think it's a great idea to have a place to put these episodes.  I've had so many things happen that I simply don't talk about much because people might think I'm certifiable...don't really want people crossing the street when they see me coming.

I don't even remember them all.  It has occurred to me more than once that if there were some depository of information regarding these experiences, one might be able to survey them to see if there's a pattern.

I suspect there are many patterns.

I wouldn't even know where to start.  I had a possible ET encounter in 1972.  I say "possible" because all I actually remember seeing was a bright light, there's just a lot about that whole thing that was extremely weird.  Sometime in the 1980s I saw a shape-shifting reptilian, and at that time I hadn't even heard of them.  The real interesting stuff started eight years ago.  In July 2000 I had a wonderful experience while camping among the sequoias.  Everyone was asleep while I lay awake and watched thousands and thousands of tiny flickering lights pass in procession through the wall of the tent and out the other side.  It lasted a couple hours.  Since then I have seen similar things in the forest in San Bernardino County and also closer to home, but nothing like that first magnificent experience.

When I discovered the ancient field of standing stones that stretches across northern San Diego County, it was as if I was drawn there, as if I'd been shown something rather than discovering it on my own.  I've collected EVP and witnessed hundreds of passing spirits here in the old-folks home (over-55 apartment complex) where I live.  Sometimes late at night I can even hear them.  I used to try to journal this stuff, but it's too constant.  So I just swim in the stream.  Of course I could just be crazy.  Mwahahahahaha!

There's the odd business of the white crows.  I've had a few opportunities to point them out to others; they are not imaginary.  I did some research and learned that the pied or sport crow is a mutation.  I don't know the reason for the connection between myself and corvids.  When I hike in the back country I'm often accompanied by ravens.  And it seems that a sport will show itself to me deliberately once in a while, and I've learned to expect opportunity and/or change within six months.  Once I somehow "leaped" into a crow's brain for a period of about five or six seconds.  I could see myself on the ground looking up at the crow on the wire, and what was really weird was I could also feel the bird's panic and shock at the intrusion.  As soon as I "snapped out of it" the bird flew away.

I'm guessing almost everyone here has had their own brand of unique and startling experiences, epiphanies and quickenings.  I think it might be quite useful to share them.  Thanks, Mary, for making the suggestion.

Dear Dave,

Thank you for joining me! The experiences you mention are awesome. I am grateful to have someone to speak about this stuff.I started my own "home mystic course" in 2000 ( coincidence?) We had just moved to this house on valentines day. I got a jury duty summons for month of march. 100 people in the lobby of the county building waiting to be called or excused. I had tried to read to pass the time.....but that didn't work....I decided to bring colored pens and paper to make the waiting fun. I doodled paisleys as I watched the 2 elevator doors...looking for the bailiff to call or excuse me. A door opened,inside a lawyer that I had met once, but knew mostly by the column he wrote in the local paper.So fast I thought that's Tom Houser,he's got gout,whats gout? He stepped out of the elevator,the woman with him said 'So how are you doing Tom?" Not so good I have gout,he replied!!!!!!!!! Weird! The other door then opened,I was called and spent the day being a jouror. I got home and told my sweetie...the weirdest thing happened today! Then I had to figure out....Am I a medical intuative? What just happened? This started my studies.

A couple years later I had such a yearning to be at the beach in Santa cruz....to be by the ocean in a spot that made me feel HOME. It was not a time for me to make that trip. I went to sleep with that yearning.....and had a "dream" unlike any I had ever had before. I stood at an inlet of water...a hillside facing me. The sky was orange,there were 2 Suns in the sky. The plants,hillside were not colors seen on this planet! A male voice up above me said feel the sand on your feet. Feel the air on your skin..... It was so real tactile......I felt it all....but my body was not there! I woke the next morning with that yearning satisfied....and a new topic to study. These were magic moments for me. I now find hawk feather standing in the grass on my walks. I hav been having power animal come to me in my dreams. Cougar,Bear,4 white wolves,and others. Live animals come to me too. These days gov't stinks...but personal power is growing greatly.

Love,Mary

good I have gout,he replied!!!!!!!!! Weird!...Am I a medical intuative?

This is good stuff!  The best provisional explanation I have right now for this kind of experience is that it happens when there's a spontaneous circuit between the frontal lobes and the amygdala.  These open circuits tend to be transient but I've been learning that this is something that can be worked with.  Exactly how and why this happens are questions I'm not qualified to answer, not yet at least.  But it is certainly part of the increasing range of the perceptions that comes with the Shift.  We are certainly being quickened.


I started my own "home mystic course" in 2000 ( coincidence?)

I'd like to know more about that.

Your experiences with animals mirror mine.  I've had many encounters with animals and never felt threatened or been harmed.  Except by the human kind.

Dear Dave,

This is what I am calling my process. I have interesting experiences and let that guide my studies. The universe puts people,books,experiences in my path. I come to a pop quiz...decide what went on...then this is a topic that comes back to me....from another source. The course is (higher)self guided.

I feel that the gout episode let me use 100th monkey group mind. Opened my perception to untaught qualities. I don't really try to make things happen,or rationally figure things out. I have no religious,or spirit guidence. No minds eye in waking life to show me.
Just curiosity,attention, a partner who validates and honors my studies. I talk to people I come in contact with and gently share my experiences to plant possibilities in their conciousness.

When I am tapped in it is powerful! I was behind a school bus....open lanes on either side. I think this bus is having problems(no obvious) As I pull into other lane beside it,a puff of smoke and it breaks down! I decide finally to sell my Dads Nova....I love the car but finally ready to let it go( mine for 18yrs) 20 min. later dog walking on my little dead end street,a car pulls up...a nice guy asks who's Nova is that .....wanna sell it? It goes in spurts....but good 'cause it is a little spooky sometimes!

I think that being drawn to your stones......and your time spent with the crows is pretty special. I feel honored when wild animals choose to be near us. Animals are good judges of character and intent.And to be the crow! Neat.

Love,Mary

Yay, "testimonials" about the effectiveness of "becoming-god-therapy" hahahaha! I've actually felt discouraged from telling these stories, even among circles such as these, but I just love sharing them, they all sort of hang together :) And Dave, I just now posted something about what I percieve to be a "soul mate" who I keep running into in different bodies under VERY strange circumstances, and she always has a raven/crow totem. The fact that you keep seeing white crow and that she has such dark energy is very interesting to me, I can't say what it means of course but then I'm sure I'll know when I need to hahaha!

Like all of us, I could just write pages about all the "high strangeness", but most recently is most interesting. Just a few days ago I "remembered" how to do a certain kind of energetic healings and I think they have been pretty effective. Somehow it just feels normal, it's just like breathing. Same kind of thing happened a few months back too, I "remembered" how to connect directly with that "heart that want to love and be loved". So I think this "re-membering" thing is definitely for real, but that seems to have started some more of itself, we'll see where it goes: I was at the neighborhood bar last night and there was this ghost. I've never worked with ghosts and the spirits of the dead walking on earth was never really part of my reality, but damn... This guy caughed in my ear and I looked around and nobody there, so I put out my "feelers" and sensed a "waiting" spirit. I asked him, "Who are you and why are you still here?", and he told me. I sent him off into "the light" with my guides and was like, "Okay, that was wierd, perhaps my i-magi-nation is getting out of control". Ha. I went to the most senior employee I know at the bar, who happened to be hanging out off hours even though he doesn't drink (?), and asked him about it because the spirit said it was wanting to say goodbye to him (And have one last drink, poor fellow), and because there are rumors of ghosts at that establishment. I was off on the date and the cause of death slightly in my interpretation of it: "Seventies" flashed through my mind but for some reason I'm still stuck in the nineties and that seems like twenty years to me, so I said twenty, the employee said thirty. I got "Crushed in an industrial accident" and he said "Crushed by a tree while logging", but logging is an industrial activity to me. There very little doubt this was "for real", too much coincidence. I only hope the guy didn't think I was "cold reading" him because it was a good friend of his and I know people are really sensitive about the "departed", but it was so intense, I wanted confirmation. Fortunately I don't think he was offended, but I guess sometimes I can stand to just shut my trap and trust myself Smile.

Love you all so much!

High strangeness, I love it! Thass what I'm talkin' about.

I think I understand what you mean about "re-membering." I've had such a stupendous amount on information fed through my brain in the last couple years, I can't possibly bring it all to mind at will. Yet from time to time, things pop up out of nowhere. Lately I've had a series of mini-epiphanies where things I know or have been shown connect in novel ways to reinforce insights into how we are all connected.

The ghost thing in the bar is pretty cool! I enjoy things like that, but I'm glad I don't have to deal with them often. Most of the time when I become aware of spirits they're just passing through and not taking notice of me.

I hope more folks will weigh in here, too! One reason I'm so glad Mary proposed this thread is that each of us manifests the shift in unique ways. It's the pattern of all that is the big picture. Another reason is that I bet that a lot of us wouldn't mind having a forum where we could really share those things among folks who won't slide down the bench away from us. And the insights we all can share can help us in numerous ways.

Mary, you sound as if you have a new channel coming online. You seem to be receiving insights directly from the energy fields around you. Is it happening more often than say, a year ago? Ten years? What does this kind of experience mean to you?

Dear Dave,

The awareness began with jury duty. With that connected moment I can understand some earlier experiences.My father died in 84 at the age of 52.I had not visited him in a couple of years...got the feeling a month befofe he died that I should go. Show him the new paint job on my 57 bug...I had been restoring/designing it for years. He bought it for me as a PROJECT 4 yrs before. California look/dechromed/baja blend of a creation. Planned a trip. Left a day earlier than planned.Arrived in Ashland....knocked on door, my stepmothers jaw dropped! We are an hour late for a BBQ but your dad said wait for mary! He died a month later. I got a call from her at 7am(in Santa Cruz) I need you, get up here! I called friends to care for my cat and birds. How are you getting there? Dunno. One (now my sweetie) came right over to drive me to SF airport.On way stopped and picked up a friend at my job,heading up hiway one. A beautiful, sad drive. Got to airport.No credit card ,no ticket....oh did I say the day before Thanksgiving? Got on next plane,arrived in Medford,caught a cab to Ashland. Knocked on door and Susans jaw dropped again....It was 10 am.!!! 3 hours from her call. This was Weird. I had some intense moments of perception( as my father). I think that the shock of this and 6yrs later Susan dying (at 48) Then being unhoused by Loma Prietta earthquake 6 mo after that.........just kinda unbased...and reopened reality for me.

I am not tapped in all the time......but I am aware of POWER yeilded aware or not.

Had to hide out for awhile. Found that I get moods of those around me, people tell me of their pain,they feel better and I hurt. Home Mystic Course is to help me to be around,help....without taking their stuff in. Getting better at that.I am letting myself be who I am,not who society says I should be.

To me this means we all are connected. We affect each other. I want to be responsable for my impact....to tell other ,gently that we affect each other. To not allow energy theives to steal my power.....to harness their own. I haven't graduated yet!

I am glad when some move away from me on the bench!

Cool,JaiMe that you helped a spirit.

Love,Mary

Was going to make some comment, then I read your last paragraphs...

Now I just would rather salute the sweet and simple way you honor the highest purpose of your gift.

Dear JaiMe,

I have read that the reason that alcohol is also known as spirits is because people who die attached to alcohol hang out around drinking and wait. When someone gets a little too drunk they slip in and make them drink more! I think that it is great that you sent this one to the light. Keep up the good works.

Love,Mary

JaiMe's picture

Exactly, that was very clear, the guy was waiting at the bar next to me, the middle, where the servers go to get drinks for tables. I think there are some more there, though. Interesting energy in that place, something not "normal" for such a "joint". Love and joy Smile

Ashland is a place of transformation. Lots of people don't make it through they way they think they will. Omar's has been there through many different phases of Ashland. It has not always been the high priced,hallmark version of a perfect town that it believes itself to be now.Depressed economics,artist colony,quiet college town( before it became a university town) but with a faith healer,goat man,many interesting characters.Many are now afraid to leave it's boundries...alive or dead!

Dear Friends,

Yesterday a dear friend called. She needed to talk about end of life decisions for an immediate family member. I shared with her my experience of holding my stepmothers hand as she lay unconcious on her deathbed. I told her that I loved her. That  I was a big girl and could take care of myself. That she did not need  to hang around for me.She sat up in bed,opened her eyes and looked at me! She layed back down,died a few hours later.

Last night just before bed the room filled with the smell of hoya blossoms!No plants in house....my hoya,which she started from a cutting 29yrs ago was out in my little greenhouse...and is not in bloom.I took this as a Hi,I am still around...and will always love you.

I fell asleep with a smile on my face....and a wee bit congested from the intense aroma.

A magic moment for me.

Love,Mary

Hi Mary,

Thanks for sharing that.  Those visitations are nice...understatement, I know.  We've had similar experiences lately with my wife's grandfather, "Poppa" to whom she was very close when she was a girl.  We've smelled his distinctive pipe tobacco on several occasions recently, while considering life-decisions.

Maybe this is a good place to post a most interesting meditation (OBE?) I had the other night...I wanted to sit outside and get centered before going to bed, as we had just watched a TV show on occult things that was a little bit disturbing ("Paranormal State"). I was sitting with eyes closed, breathing sacred love, and directing ho'oponopono toward my son. I was feeling very centered and peaceful.  Shapes were shifting around behind my eyelids the way they do when you sit in the dark... Suddenly I could see as clearly as if I was in another location with eyes open (physically), I was looking up through foliage and trees into a night sky. It was overcast here that night, but what I was seeing through the trees was a clear sky, blazing with stars, with many tiny lights shooting around in the sky. I could also see leaves right in front of me, moving in a gentle breeze. I could turn my head and see all of this very clearly. It was very serene and peaceful, and I remained there just calmly soaking it in. Once or twice I started to get up and go to bed, but a "voice" seemed to tell me to wait for something, so I was just sitting there in my meditative state. I seemed to be sitting on the ground in a garden or forest, but I could see the sky clearly with the trees and leaves in the foreground.

Then suddenly I saw the leaves and foliage right around me gently illuminated, as if I myself was the source of the light, or maybe as if I was holding a small flashlight. I continued looking around me, but mostly looking up at the sky, waiting. The light disappeared, and I got the sense of "don't let them find you." I asked myself what there was to be afraid of - I wasn't afraid at all, interested is more like it - but it was as if the "voice" was telling me that there was something out there that I didn't want to be found by...not describing how I felt, but what I was being told. As if it was saying, "Trust me, you really don't want these guys to find you." The light went out and came back on intermittently, but there was no worry, no fear. It was very peaceful and timeless. I sat, watched, and waited.

After a while I seemed to see a light in the sky that was different than the stars, mostly blues and purples, and slowly it grew larger overhead. Eventually it seemed as if there was a huge object above me, but it was shimmery and transparent except for the blurry lights, and I could see through it. I thought it was like looking through a jellyfish. Several times I got the feeling that I was about to be lifted up into this object, but "they" passed me by, or maybe lost their grip as they were reaching out for me. After a while it disappeared or moved away and I was still looking up into a clear sky. The light came on again. All the while I was very peaceful and calm, but I did not understand what I had been seeing.

I sat a while longer, and then got up to go to bed. I thought I had been outside maybe 15 or 20 minutes, but when I glanced at the clock I realized I'd been sitting there on the patio for almost two hours. I went to bed and fell asleep quickly. Next morning when I woke, though, I felt exhausted as if I'd been up all night. So much so that I laid down midmorning for a short nap.

During this nap I had a strange dream that seemed very real...I woke and looked at the clock, and I'd slept all day. I went out and spoke to my wife ("Gosh!  Did I sleep all day?"), then went back to bed! Then a few moments later I woke up for real, I'd slept about an hour. I felt very refreshed, but the dream was so real I felt disoriented for a few minutes...the moment I sat down at the computer an email from one of my spiritual mentors came onto the screen...very much a synchronicity.

so much for sharing all of these wonderful stories of experiences.  I think this forum is perfect for all of the ever increasing experiences that seem to be part of this ongoing shift in conscious awareness.  A book I read recently told of some very special children in Bulgaria who call themselves "the net" and "children of Oz" because they are in constant contact with children all over the world via their awareness of this common mind/consciousness, and all they want the world to know is how much, how completely and fundamentally they/we are One.

All of these stories fit the description of 4th density experience, of heart and mind more fully understood and re-cognized.  My simple little experiences are mundane in comparison, but from the same source of that One thing.  Simple things like this morning driving into work I could hardly keep my attention on the road and this apparent world because of a thought that entered my mind, so simple and yet so profound - "I can think anything I want to".  It came in the context of feelings of appreciation and blessing.  I just started humming healing tones and blessing every car that I saw.  You know, that flow that comes from those simple moments....

Anyway, I love that you started this forum Mary because I, like all of you, know these experiences are increasing daily, and I fully anticipate them being more and more commonplace, the new nature of an ascended conscious understanding and awareness.  One of the things I have been looking into lately is the research that was being conducted a while ago, back in the sixties I think, in the Pine Barrens area around New Jersey near a little town called Ong's Hat.  They called themselves the Moorish Science Ashram.  They were (maybe still are somewhere) intently focused on the possibility of interdimensional travel to parallel universes.  There is good developing scientific theory to support their research.  Atoms, especially the electrons orbiting the atom perimeter, disappears and reappears constantly, like some binary math equation of on/off, or here/there/here.  If this research has any merit, it means that the brain is already designed to reach certain other frequencies and simply shift interdimensionally to other parallel existences.  The implications boggle the mind, for they would be infinite. And since mind governs the behavior of crude dense matter, accompanying physical bodies would have no choice but to cooperate with the new understanding and intentional direction from portions of the mind/brain that have been their all along, in constant potentiality, waiting to be re-cognized and utilized.

Needless to say, I LOVE all that is becoming, and rising to the surface of our individual and collective willingness right now!!!!

Love/Light and Peace with no opposite, Chris

..Dear Dave,

To me this sounds like a OBE with UFO sighting, you were seeing with 3rd eye,that sees through illusions(and cloud cover) .The veil IS thinning right now. More and more of these things  happening.We are being guided and shown that we are not alone in our search for Truth.You also had the gift of extra refreshing rest. To me this says...you are on the right path........

keep up the good works ! Love,Mary

Dear Chris,

How great for you to bless all the cars on the road! Helping machine and lifeforms to run smoother.You and that active questioning mind of yours I would never call mundane. Some gardeners plant seeds that will be harvested later by others. You plant many seeds friend. It is a joy to listen to your ideas.

Love,Mary

I was mesmorized reading these experiences and so well translated. I felt like I was sitting around a fire with all of you and telling stories. There is a immediacy and closeness radiating from everyone's words.

Thanks!!!

Dear Dave,

I just noticed you and Tricia's replies! We are all ALL...angels/devils/brave/scared. this is our path. I see you given gifts and insights that you have earned. I am happy to know you!

Dear Trisia,

I am pleased to sit around a fire and share experiences with you(all of you).It is a telling of our trials by fire,this life we live and grow into. It helps to share. Thank you for helping to make this a loving community,where we are able to be so honest with self/others.

Love,Mary

Dear Friends,

I am a bit hung up on illusion of knowing what time it is. This morning my post showed I had lost an hour here. I reset my profile....now I am on military time! I post this to see what time it is here on the SPOT....My computer and I both think it is 1:35 pm PST. This is only a test!

Love,Mary

Dear Chris,

a recent book(can not name I already put it back into circulation) from 70's channelled Atlantian info. He said atlantis was where NJ is now.could be a portal there! I do not know...just reporting info I read.

I love your questioning mind! Love,Mary

Dear Friends,

Like Dave mentions, synchronicities and small miracles for me are too numerous to list right now................

With the recent launch of the new insight course ,I thought I would share a Home Mystic course lesson 101 here.

Find a TV( in your home or somewhere comfortable)

Watch gameshow Jeopardy(tune out product placement questions)Relax.See how many answers come to you.Correct answers that appear in your mind ...out of no where.

For Extra credit ....Answer final Jeopardy question only hearing catagory....do not wait for question/hint.

This can be a group lesson and nice to have validation of witness'

A valid reason to sit in front of TV! Love,Mary

Hi, all.

I thought I'd add a few experiences I've had along the way.  Both happened fairly recently, and I've never had this sort of thing happen to me before... 

About 8 or 9 months ago, I had friends who had twins who died - one at birth and the other about 3 months later - very premature.  I attended the funeral, which of course was difficult for all, especially the parents who had gone through so much with invitro fertilization, and NICU... Anyway, during the service, I sensed the babies were there.  They were staying close to their mom, and they were so full of love and gratitude for the parents.  I remember thinking, specifically "this must be real, because I never would have come up with gratitude as a baby's emotion toward their parent".  The emotion was so overwhelming and beautiful.  I kept hearing them say "you did exactly what you were supposed to do" and "you didn't do anything wrong".  

Secondly, I have a friend who has been suffering with the loss of her father.  She misses him so terribly after 3 years of him passing.  One evening close to the anniversary of his death, I emailed her about some good memories of him from our childhood.  I then went to sleep.  In the middle of the night, I felt someone in the room with me (though I was alone in the house).  I could tell it was a man.  I said "please don't feel like you have to make yourself known in a tangible way, it will just freak me out".  Then I just laid there and waited.  The spirit crossed the room, and stood at the foot of my bed, and I immediately and without doubt knew it was her father.  He simply said "Thank you", and disappeared. 

I mentioned both together because I think the reason that I had the experiences was that I was not caught up in the emotions of either event.  Like... hey, looks like she can think clearly, let's talk to her. The thing is, I am not sure what I was supposed to do with that information, besides just sit with it.  So here I sit.

Take care, and much love and light to all,

Kathy

Dear Kathy,

What a gift! You have first hand experience that life does not end at death! This is a great honor. This knowing you have will allow you to comfort others.You have the answer that so many strive to learn....though few know for sure till their own death.Thank you for sharing your experience here.

Love,Mary
