Mind Blowing Events, And Do They Matter?

[Fred Steeves]

I often wonder if there are certain events we "somehow" invite into our lives at any given point, that offer a certain oomph to an individual who eventually as we say "wakes up" (or begins to) at some point during their lives, such as I finally did in late 2008.

Simple as they may sound to many, here are 3 events that without any one of them the capability to finally make the all out jail break from the matrix would never have been possible. All three of these occured in exact opposition to previously held possibilities of what could possibly happen in this life time.

1) Journeying to unimagined places upon discovering LSD as a late teen ager.

2) Having to be bumped out the door of the plane from 12,500' on my first tandem skydive, because I had frozen in utter shock and fear upon hanging my legs out the door and looking down.

3) Joining the military. Not because I was not for war or anything, no, I was most pro US ruling the 7 seas. I just signed up because of the bad economy in the early 90's, in hopes of a pension after 20 years.(What a dumbass) The mind blower was really about visiting countries half way around the world (and therefore their people) like Israel, France, Greece, Germany, etc. Hanging out in their bars, eating at their restaurants, trying to learn their language, walking their streets, and stunningly coming to the realization that people were basically the same wherever one goes.

I suspect that I'm not alone in recognizing that certain striking events in our lives can come into play once again even decades later. Had those little splinters in the mind not been directly embedded already, even though somewhat consciously forgotten, future catalysts would be unnoticed, and therefore futile.

Anyone else relate to this?

Cheers,
Fred

Hi Fred,

No you are not alone

There have been many in my life but have to honestly say connecting the dots and acknowledging the wisdom from these time snippets sure took a long time in coming>>>>>>>>

GEEZ Louise I'm turning 65 this year and have only recently accepted that I might be gaining some wisdom from my tumultuous, exciting, joyous and sometime painful journey. So grateful to be here along with the exciting times we are going through.

Hi Fred,

Personal mind-blowing events not only matter but they all happen with perfect timing. At first that may only be realised with hindsight but when you can see the importance of events while they happening, life can take on a whole new meaning and direction.

Damn jeanette, are you inside of my head or something? I've had the makings of a thread very similar to what you are saying to be titled "In Real Time" tumbling around my fragile eggshell mind for a couple or so months now.

You know what they say, great minds think alike

I look forward to the Real Time thread.

For sure Fred. That's why we never look back and wish we had done something differently, or wish "if only that had never happened". These little splinters, as you put it, make us who we are, in that without them, we would be a different "us".

Travelling to other cultures, living with other people, expanding our concept of the known and the familiar are like a little sprinkle of pixie dust for the consciousness.

I have to pull you up for the line "what a dumbass". Apart from the fact that you are so obviously not: we shouldn't judge ourselves harshly (even in jest); you were acting as the product of a certain environment and conditioning, and; as you said, it all turned out for the best

HI Fred and everyone. Nice to meet you. Yes, it's so interesting how those things happen, isn't it Fred! I think the more we awaken & pay attention to things, the more they seem to happen to us. It seems like they're somehow drawn into our lives. I really thing that we DO have guides who probably play a part in bringing together certain circumstances that could bring growth to us. Those circumstances & opportunities are probably often ignored tho.

My own life has been SO full of the most incredible "coincidences" or synchronicities. People have said for years that I need to write them down -- to write a book. So I finally did. It's called "Exploring Sacred Space: A Vast Quest". ExploringSacredSpace.com. This is not a sales pitch . I hesitate in mentioning it, because I don't want it to be misunderstood that I'm trying to sell it. It's just very much in line with this thread. Many of the things had to do with travels, and awakenings thru those experiences -- like with you Fred. For me it was especially in travels to Egypt. I went there twice, and the thread of Egypt has run thru my life since childhood, which I can see looking back.

So to me it really DOES seem that our own energies and awareness seem to create the conditions where either we and/or our guides create the circumstances. And then it's up to us to take those steps to make the best of those learning opportunities.

Hi KristenAnn, nice to meet you. Yes, you've put your finger on another aspect of this. I like to toy with the idea that when we decide to go in and do this game, we are well aware of the high possibilities of becoming hopelessly lost and entangled. But that's also part of the challenge, and the fun.

So we make an agreement with a friend back home to watch our backs while we are so very vulnerable. There may be an agreed upon set of events our watcher friend may initiate if/when the game begins to go red line. These are life ring tosses so to speak. We know going in that many of these will be missed, but eventually one will find their mark right upside the head of the flounderer, and begin to get his attention. These likely increase in urgency and intensity as they are ignored, possibly over countless lifetimes.

Once they are finally noticed though, and especially when they are noticed for what they are, synchronicity kicks in. The going becomes easier and easier, rather than more and more out of control, and the course is set for home.

big one for me here

this can even birth a new type of lifestyle that is rooted in "dancing with the energetic universal flow of "whatever it is"" but be warned that you will not be leading this dance

and if you try to, or get emotionally invested in a possible outcome, and try to "lead the universe" in the direction you want it, you can get your feet stepped on and it usually results in the dance ending for a bit, usually accompanied by an awkward empty feeling like you did something wrong that can even be hard to recover from

otherwise it is a participation with the unfolding of things, where you find yourself in roles you would have never imagined, that in hindsight seems magical and purposeful, but while in the midst of it all...confusing and perplexing...even disturbing and envelope pushing

and since it is all basically subjective...fraught with possible delusions of grandeur

one, depending on one's premise, could even say...that because you feel you are in a dance with the universe to begin with - it starts with delusions of grandeur in the first place

Hi again Fred. Yes! And I think these "nudges" happen more often than people realize -- but that most people ignore them or don't have the perceptiveness to recognize them. Many of those type of incidents running thru my life tied in with other lives. Like I'd travel somewhere and while there "flash" into another lifetime -- where I'd snap into actually BEING THERE and remembering everyone etc. -- just for a moment.

Then, quite a few times in my travels I'd run into or cross paths with psychics who'd tell me things -- without even knowing me -- that would confirm things. One said, "You are going to travel alot in this lifetime. It is important that you travel and visit places where you had lived before. They will be places where you had certain awakenings. It's important that you remember those awakenings, if only subconsciously."

And this is exactly what had been and has been happening my whole life. And so I can see that this would also be the case for many of us -- that sometimes certain events or opportunities are brought into our lives as a subconscious reminder of things that have happened before (in other lifetimes). And (once again) we get the choice of how to proceed from there. And our choosing -- our choices -- set our path and the degree of learning or awakening we gain from the experiences.

Anyway! That's just from my perspective. The whole phenomenon is really fascinating, I agree. And it brings to mind, to me, the multi-dimensionality of life. That there is SO MUCH going on on other levels or dimensions. All happening concurrently and "behind the scenes" of this physical dimension we live in.

I will buzz in and pur forward my belief ..

we are here on this world at this time ..to grow from the experiences we have here..if we are not growing..somthing might just happen to either kill us or force us to grow .. in the perspective of a being that has been here sense the universe started expanding .. the worst thing that can happen to us in this one short like.. has little significance ..it the growth and experience in total that matters ..

if you believe you have been here several times ..then you have probably been killed or killed people in battlle..died being born..died giving birth.. had all kinds of bad stuff happen ..but probably lots of good stuff..but it really doesn't matter to you now ..granted many of us probably spoke out against the system in past lives or did things differnetly and where killed for it...so it could cause reservation to us now,, or expectations ..

through most of human history there have been two options for growth .

Option one random chaos and sudden suffering .. this was mainly du to living routine existances that where only changed when droughts famines ..plauges natural disaster ..maurading bands .. or whatever suddenly happend to change things .. in many cases most people still live this way .. only changing and growing when things get bad enough ..

option 2 .. the let go and let god route ..where you put your faith in god orsome higher power .. and prey for miracles to help things get better when problems arise .. where you bel;ieve suffering here is rewarded in the next life ..but with the same problem as way one.. most people just go from one problem to another...and feel guilty if they are not suffering..so they create problems or search for problems to fix to save the world for god..

this is only a bad explination of those two ..but you might understand ..in both cases growth is from problem and suffering is a given ..

But there is a third newer option.. the Growth by choice and co creation ..Where you can deside not to suffer any more .. and build a life where you grow how you want.. not out of contant threats to your existance ..or response to fear..where if you chose to grow in a way that is right for you and exciting..things line up and come together for you..where you seek joy and excitement as you grow ..

The third way is really new .. it has only been available to some for a few decades ..and more and more now .. those of us who have been around for a long time paradoxically are the ones best positioned to step into the new way.. but so very good at the suffering and chaos ... that fate has to through a bunch of problem and suffering at us without any rest .. untill we give that up and take the co creator route ..

my beliefs ..as i am still at that point where fate is beating me up untill i accept my power as a co creator ..and start using it ..

How much you want to bet a good portion of us old rascals have spent our fair share of "time" being the "bad guys"? Hmmmm?

[alienHunter]

My ages:

0, 6, 10, 12, 17: all life changing events...and all much more transforming than my current existence which is merely a culmination of the prior events...

[Odah]

How much you want to bet a good portion of us old rascals have spent our fair share of "time" being the "bad guys"? Hmmmm?

the term bad guys is kind of out of place .. if you where an american settler invading the indian land for an expanding country .. where you a bad guy.. if you where a native American fighting and killing these invaders ..where you a bad guy ..

there where two paths when many of us over 25 had in this world this time around.. this was either going to be the final go for most of us..and we would have wiped out most of the planet in a 3rd world war .. or we set on the path we are on ..one so unlikly moist of us are waiting for it all to end..no matter how over due ..the path we on changes everything ..

enough people can wake up to their powers as creator to rapidly take the suffering out of the human experience .. not everyone ..but even less than one percent of humanity proving that suffering is not needed ..will chane the entire experience ..in fact my belief is thing are so extremly negative looking right now so people can wake up and chose not to suffer.. and get tired of it ..

so simply ..the old way ..you only changed and grew when it was forced upon you then you where given down time to settle in before somthing else happened to make you grow ..

this new way ..you choice is if you depend on events to make you grow.. your getting showered with event now .. but if you chose to grow on your own .. there are lots of oportunties to grow how and where you want .

[Fred Steeves]

the term bad guys is kind of out of place .. if you where an american settler invading the indian land for an expanding country .. where you a bad guy.. if you where a native American fighting and killing these invaders ..where you a bad guy ..

You are absolutely correctamundo Odah, that's why "bad guys" was in quotes. It's meant to denote that the term is relative to the eye of the beholder.

While I'm here, here's another example that could be added to the original post: Experiencing more than once the utter knowing that I'm in my last brief moment of life, and the overriding vibe/thought from deep within was each time basically "well that's cool, so this is how it ends".

Of course each time I walked away virtually unscathed due to no fault of my own what so ever, but it's very interesting to still be around, and yet have the inner knowing that everything is o.k., even if the worst is imminent. There was one time where the end result was in doubt and still in my hands, and that was the one time I tasted fear in that type of situation. Again interesting.

These things cannot be taught, or even adaquately described in verbal/transcript language, but they are very real in many of our lives, and they are of great importance. Jike Jenci said generally speaking, when we can begin to recognize these insights in current time, or close to it, and not in hindsight, we are really getting somewhere.

I'm not there by any stretch of the imagination, but I can see the goal line on the distant horizon. That's something you can put in your proverbial pocket.

I welcome anyone else to share an example of one of these kind of moments that sort of, re-shuffles the deck so to speak.

Cheers,
Fred

Hi Fred. I've always viewed things from the multidimensionality aspect. When things like that have happened, I've thought about what's going on on other dimensions in this multidimensional universe we live in. So here's one mini series of experiences. Not to say that it's anything profound or special -- but just another one of the many experiences that you & many of us have had that point toward the multidimensionality of the universe. That things happen that make connections across levels (dimensions) of time and across dimensions on spiritual levels.

In Nov. 1997 I took the first of 2 trips to Egypt. Three days before we were to leave there was a Massacre at Hatshepsut's Tomb, and all groups & trips to Egypt around the world were cancelled. CNN covered it 24/7, sensationalizing the gruesome tortures and killings. It was SO disappointing (devastating really) because I had been SO MUCH looking forward to that trip! But it turned out that, tho all other trips around the world had been cancelled, our group was still going! And yet friends & family called me 10 times a day trying to scare me into staying HOME!

I called the State Dept. in Washington to make sure it was ok to go. It was such a freaky, scary time! They kind of laughed it off and told me it was the safest time to go since security will be so tight. So, amidst the atmosphere of fear I boarded a plane in Detroit -- all by myself -- to meet up with people I didn't know in NYC and travel to a hostile faraway land. I sat on the plane to NYC, wondering if I had made a terrible mistake -- wondering if it would be safe . . . I took out a little guidebook on Egypt & starting sketching something in it. As I did this the man beside me got all excited. His eyes opened wide & in a broken accent almost shouted, "You going to EGYPT?!".

I hadn't even much noticed him before. It turns out that this man -- on just an ordinary flight from Detroit to New York -- was from Cairo and worked as an engineer on Mount Sinai. ! ! And I was going on to Cairo and a highlight of our trip was that we were climbing Mt. Sinai! Of ALL FLIGHTS and of ALL SEATS! This man "happened" to be sitting next to ME! And I was going on to Cairo! What he did was set the trip out on a calm and happy note. He calmed all my fears and told me how the Egyptian people are so nice and they will be so happy to see us and so kind. So this man -- in this extraordinary synchronicity -- made my trip begin in a happy, calm & excited way.

The interesting thing was that the result of that Massacre and it's effects on groups around the world cancelling trips was that the country -- which was usually crowded with tourists like an amusement park -- was EMPTY except for the local Egyptians and us! So we could walk into those amazing sites and really FEEL the essence of them without them being packed with tourists asking you to take their pictures and talking etc. It was a very special moment in time, and so many experiences happened. The "strange" thing was that two years later when I took my 2nd trip to Egypt, the SAME scenario happened all over again! A few days before we were to leave in Nov. of 1999 Egypt Air crashed. And it happened all over again. So for the second time, the country was unusually empty except for the local Egyptians and us and maybe another group or 2 in the whole country.

And it was interesting how many things happened that reminded me and tied in with other lives there in Egypt. Very interesting, and one more verification of the multidimensionality of this universe. ;-) Many of us here probably have experiences that attest to that also.

it seems that you already made a agreement to meet each other on the plane.
the agreement you won,t remember as you made it before you came here.
but all the signpost of syncronicity are telling you that you are on the right path.

about 4 days ago whilst chatting on skype with Vaj and Reaver,they sent me a link and advised me to read something.
so i bookedmarked it for a later date.
today i was chatting with Celine and Fred concerning our journeys in life and syncronity,s.
after the chat ,i decide to start reading the link i had bookmarked.
to my surprise i read what we where all trying to express.
our journey is just but a blink of a eye.

And Death is not real, even in the Relative sense — it is but Birth to a new life — and You shall go on, and on, and on, to higher and still higher planes of life, for aeons upon aeons of time. The Universe is your home, and you shall explore its farthest recesses before the end of Time. You are dwelling in the Infinite Mind of THE ALL, and your possibilities and opportunities are infinite, both in time and Space. And at the end of the Grand Cycle of Aeons, when THE ALL shall draw back into itself all of its creations — you will go gladly, for you will then be able to know the Whole Truth of being At One with THE ALL. Such is the report of the Illumined — those who have advanced well along The Path.

we are all on a path,and we are aware of this,for that path has been laid before us by unseen hands.drawing all together to walk along and find their answers.it,s definatly not a easy road and many a time we all want to give up and leave the path.that is the easy part.
the hard part is staying on with your end goal in sight.

so for me syncronicity,s are a way of telling you that you are on the right path.
and even better if other people can verify them.

[flower]

Yes they do.

[Fred Steeves]

Yes they do.

WOW, good one Celine.

[KristenAnn]

Oh! Right! I suppose it was a pre-chosen decision! Nice thought Dreamwalker.
