The Daily Psychic II

[NJCher]

What do you say we start a new thread on this every 50 or so posts? We do have to think of our friends on dial-up.

There are some interesting posts downthread on the first Daily Psychic thread, so if I may make a suggestion, if you respond to them, copy them on this thread with your response.

Well, it's kind of interesting that I start this thread out with the meaning of my experience that I posted on the first thread. I have now discovered the meaning of the experience I posted on the first thread. To re-cap, here it is:

Yesterday I was very excited because my department head told me there's a chance I'll be teaching a course I have wanted to teach for three years. I was lying in bed, awake, thinking about what texts I might use and going over ideas that I had for the class.

I heard (I've had other clairaudient experiences, so this was no surprise) one of my students making a sound, "Kapow," like he was shooting a toy gun. Shortly thereafter, I knew which student it was.

I just really have no idea what this could mean. I've thought about if it could be symbolic; for example, my student shooting down an idea that isn't practical. Somehow, though, this doesn't resonate.

So, I'm baffled about this one but there is no question about hearing the voice and what it said.

I got the meaning this week. My department head and I were chatting in the hallway and he told me that long-term, the plans are to hire one person to handle this course and two others. The other two courses dictate the hiring of a person with a different type of academic background than I have. What this means is that long-term, I won't be teaching this course.

I felt a bit of disappointment over this but it didn't last long because I'm the kind of person who does so many different types of things in my work. While I had hoped this course would be mine to teach for many years, it doesn't look like this will be the case. Of course, funding for this type of thing is always iffy so I could have it for a few more semesters. After that, I might be ready to move on, anyway.

What's funny to me, though, is the "kapow" was telling me that to think of this as a long-term teaching possibility wasn't viable. What's also meaningful is the student's voice that I heard. It's too long to go into it, but boy, was it perfect that his voice was the one I heard saying "kapow."

1. I guess I can post it now, even though I have no clue what it means:

I had a psychic flash of a CNN.com headline from the Law section of the website: "Getting over Alito." If anyone who can stand to read CNN.com without puking wants to watch the Law entries in the coming days, you could let me know if something along those lines gets posted.

[NJCher]

2. I was having reaction to Alito, too

Ah, but mine took the form of an OOBE! Haven't had one of those in a long, long time. Maybe a decade or more!

I had a fairly sleepless night, thinking about the Alito nightmare every time I awakened.

Finally, toward morning, I must have drifted off to sleep. When I awoke, I found myself hovering in the twilight over a particular landscape, which is one with steep and rolling hills. It is actually a botanical garden, in particular the one in Omaha, NE. In back of the botanical garden's main building are immense terrace retaining walls, built with huge stone. The landscape goes on for acres, with long, winding walks and more steep hills and retaining walls.

Because of the various walls, it creates a very distinct landscape "feel." I knew immediately where I was and I hovered like a helicopter (but close to the earth) and looked at the winter colors of the grass: the soft tans, the russets, grays and smoky blacks.

I guess what was so interesting is that I wasn't seeing only with my eyes. I was seeing in some other way. It is a more "holistic" way of seeing. It involves other senses and the only word I can think of to describe it is "holistic."

The overwhelming feeling for why I was there was because of the kind of energy this landscape puts off. It has to do with the way the walls are arranged and the way nature configured the hills. I could "feel" this energy but I could also feel the shape of the landscape, kind of as if one were running one's hands over the proverbial elephant. But I wasn't blind--just seeing things in that holistic way I described above.

Actually, I went to a botanical garden in NY on Sunday with two gardening friends. I think it's interesting that I sought out this other garden. Like I said, my feeling for why I did this is that it has to do with the particular type of energy put out by the way landscape is arranged. A feng shui outdoors, if you will.

BlueIris, will the law ever recover from Alito? Will we ever?

3. I...never thought I'd post this, since I consider them abstract

representations of higher wisdom as best, but--I actually think the Matthew messages about the future of the Court are the place to look if you want to answer this question. There are so few things in those messages that resonate with me, but "his" predictions about the SCOTUS happen to be one of them. I just feel that the damage done to the Court is one aspect of the Bush presidency which won't "hold" long-term. How Alito factors in specifically, though, I have no information about (yet).

[BlueIris]

4. Okay, here's a weird dream I wanted to post, in case it's predictive:

lately, I have been having a lot of well, wacky dreams about pregnant women. Mostly random women I don't recognize and then, last night, Julia Roberts. Yeah. No clue. If anyone cares, the dreams aren't traumatic and they don't depict anything negative, just a bunch of people ostensibly happy about their pregnancies, engaged in various activities, mostly mundane (in other words, I don't connect this dream with any changes the Roberts/Alito court may bring to America, so nobody post asking that, 'kay?). I may go Google now to see if Roberts is expecting/planning for another baby.

[hvn_nbr_2]

6. Pregnancy/birth dreams

Pregnancy/birth dreams are often about "giving birth" to new things in your life, new projects, new learning, new interests, etc. Anything like that happening in your life, or that you want to happen?

[BlueIris]

7. Yeah, I realize that dreams are often symbolic, but since this is a thread

for psychic/clairvoyant/predictive issues, I thought I'd post a dream that to me, could be predictive (though why I'd be dreaming about Julia's future pregnancies, I couldn't say). Maybe I should have clarified this in my original post, but in my life, dreams about me being pregnant are almost always purely symbolic, while dreams about the pregnancies of others aren't. It was just a "I dreamed about this; weird" kind of a post.

5. My dream last night

The location was a place like Olde Towne Alexandria, Va with very old row houses and I was at one block which had all the foundations dug up. The row house on the end was white and it, like the others, had piles of red dirt all around it. The dirt had been removed from the crumbling foundations in an effort to repair the foundations.

At the end of the block was a tremendous cliff. A man was down below metal detecting the land, and said he was looking for relics of previous settlements in the area. I wanted to get my detector and join him.

Although the first part of my dream is quite transparent...(white house, red dirt, crumbling foundations), the second part throws me.

[NJCher]

8. an aside

How I love the old row houses in Olde Town. What is that old inn's name where they have all those relics on display?

Interesting dream, digit. I'll be thinking on it.

BTW, do you have a detector that you use for things like this?




Cher

[Digit]

12. Gadsby's Tavern?

Indeed, I do have a metal detector and I am (or was) a relic hunter. I mostly would hunt for civil war stuff when I lived in Northern Va. You just had to be good at dodging the bulldozers!
Ah, but I live in NC now, have a bum knee, and they just don't have all the goodies in the ground that other areas offer. It was so exciting to unearth a button, thinking of the soldier who once wore it. It made me weak in the knees....really!

As I mentioned in another thread...I feel I lived during the civil war in a past life.

[oxbow]

16. I live in Northern VA

I'd be hard pressed to go relic hunting in my area these days though. It's all little neighborhoods with little expensive houses, with big expensive cars in their garages these days.

I do love old-town though. All the members of my reiki share live there, and I hope to move soon too

[hvn_nbr_2]

9. Looking for the relics of our nation's founding/foundation?

Our country has gone off a cliff.

[LaurenG]

10. Sifting through the scene of the crime

Something substantial that was thrown over the cliff (tossed somewhere that most won't go) that will help or hurt those responsible for the current situation. I find it very important that you wanted to help detect this. It's always hard to figure out dreams as it all depends on circumstances in your life and I can only guess.

[SheilaT]

25. What you're describing is

very much like one historic house in Alexandria actually looked like when they were renovating it during the mid 1970's. I think it's the Lee-Fendall House. There had been a bank directly in front of it which was torn down, because the Lee-Fendall House had been vacant for a number of years. In the back, the land dropped off almost like a cliff.

They dug up all sorts of interesting artifacts in the course of the work. I believe the city of Alexandria has an archaeologist on staff -- I know they did thirty years ago when a friend of mine did volunteer work for the archaeologist.

[BlueIris]

11. Just a couple days ago, I was wondering if MSN would re-post their

"polite ways to talk about money" article--and today, they did! Huzzah!

13. I have been really hesitant to post this for a long time

but it keeps cropping up in my mind. It's Bush on a guerney being taken out of the White House. I don't know when. I don't know why. I don't know if he's dead or alive, but the fact that his face is visible could mean that he's alive. I wonder a lot if it's wishful thinking, but every time I think it, I banish it from my mind because I don't want to think that way.

:shrug:

[BlueIris]

14. Yikers. I mean, obviously, it's not your fault you have that image

in your mind, but I think it's great you don't want to think that way. I actively avoid thoughts of that nature whenever possible. As I'm sure most here realize, if anything like that did happen while he was still (even technically) in office? That wouldn't be good for anyone. I have been, at times, tempted to ask our forum members to have positive thoughts about him (as regards his survival, anyway) every now and then because of how damaging to the Progressive effort an injury or serious illness for him could be at this time.

[MissWaverly]

30. I have been getting it too

since the beginning of last week, I definitely see him ill, but it's something that only
effects the left side of his body, (stroke?), I don't know.

[Sanity Claws]

31. An acquaintance of mine had a similar vision

She told me about it around October or November 2005

[MissWaverly]

32. Let's keep the country in a positive protective light

I think it needs a liitle help right now.

[BlueIris]

15. I had this dream last night about MM's new film "SICKO."

Basically, that it was being advertised on a theater's marquee. I watched from a sidewalk a couple of blocks away, in a city obviously different than the one I'm in (thank God).

[BlueIris]

17. Egh. (Dream.)

Bizarre but ultimately hopeful dream combining every symbol of importance I'm supposed to be focusing on in my life right now, including the abusive ex, a future romantic partner of undetermined significance, oppression, injustice, compassion and my book. Had after a night in which I became more convinced than ever that my novel and everything good about my life would die because I can't get the stagnated parts cleaned away, or the flailing parts regenerated.

I'll skip the many details, except to post that it's both strange and wonderful that a dream about the book after which my book is most closely modeled would come to me unbidden on the night that Betty Friedan passed away. These experiences are appropriate motivators considering what I'm trying to accomplish in and with my text, especially as in the dream, I was giving that other novel to a police officer, so she could give it to her little daughter for a book report. R.I.P., Betty. I have to go cry now.

[NJCher]

18. finding parts of the puzzle

...strange and wonderful that a dream about the book after which my book is most closely modeled would come to me unbidden on the night that Betty Friedan passed away.

BlueIris, don't you think it's kind of magical and charming that Betty would leave us on the same day that she came into the world? I was so touched by that when I heard it. To me, it was a sign--kind of like a secret handshake to the initiated.

I teach a class on social activism and every week I talk about an activist with an emphasis on those who may have passed on, such as with Rose Nader and Coretta Scott King. This coming week I'll be talking about Betty in the class.

----------

Well, anyway, I came to this thread to report a funny coincidence. I went over to my neighbor's. While we live so close, we haven't had much of a chance to talk and so it was time for tea and cookies. As we talked I realized we'd both been experimenting with changes in our diets and had come to some similarities in how we'd changed. What struck me was that we were each missing a piece of the puzzle and the "other piece" was being held by the other. We exchanged information and "completed the puzzle."

I don't think it's a mistake that we're neighbors. I do so love the fact that they're my neighbors.

20. Last night, a very, very strange dream.

One of my old hair stylists recently had a baby with her husband and in the dream, I ran into the husband, with the baby, in the shopping complex where her salon used to be. The couple wanted to go out to dinner so I said that I would watch the baby for them. Normally, I don't love babies, especially male babies, but the baby in the dream was really cute. The whole time he was with me he never cried. I just find this dream to be odd, possibly one of the oddest I have ever had. I have never had a dream about a baby that lasted very long, or featured a baby hanging out with me. I thought that all of my feelings about parenthood (or my decision that parenthood will not be a part of my life in any form) were settled. Maybe my subconscious has other ideas.

[BlueIris]

21. And one more weirdly appropriate thing (speaking of handshakes

for the initiated, NJCher)--just thinking early this morning of Abraham Lincoln and how he was an Aquarius...then stopped by the Lounge and realized that today is his birthday (no I hadn't known what the exact day was)! Amazing, no?

[BlueIris]

22. Weirdest. Dream. Ever.

I had been in a serious car accident; the result of another driver who was high on cocaine broadsiding me. I had been on a respirator for a while, had broken one leg and one ankle. As the dream progressed, I saw that I had a husband (!) and a young daughter (!!) who were both hanging around the hospital, (I'm a die-hard singleton, so that was bizarre--never had a dream in which I had a family) which I was in for many months. At one point, my condition looked so serious that my husband had been refusing to bring my daughter into the room to see me. Another interesting detail--I learned after being released from the hospital that several members of DU had made a special effort to support me during the early phase of my recovery, namely, the unconscious part, even collecting money for me. Aw. Sniffle. Despite the horribleness of the rest of the dream (the accident severely compromised my ability to walk) that detail was great.

It didn't feel prophetic or anything like that exactly, but--weird. I was supposed to go shopping today, but the roads are iced over so I think I might postpone that trip.

[Sanity Claws]

23. Metaphor?

I've had dreams with other people in it but I realized they represent other parts of me. Do you feel crippled by something? Is another part of your self, long repressed, trying to get through? You may want to play with these ideas to find something that fits you.

[NJCher]

24. a couple stories

I have some fun psychic stories for you tonight! There is one dream and two psychic stories.

I'll start with my dream of last night. I dreamt the word was out in the neighborhood: great kitty eats at my house. A little kitten who was hungry and looking for a home decided to be a "hider in the house." She was just a little tiny kitten and she managed to sneak in the door and take up residence. She hid all day and came out at night to partake of the kitty food goodies.

I knew she was there but I could never find her. Finally one day she came to me. She was such a tiny little thing and her personality was....the same as one of my older cats, Greenlee!

The rest of the dream was just me getting to know this little cat. My cat Greenlee has the best personality: she is so outgoing, unafraid, loving, and such a good companion. She is the most easygoing cat ever and nothing--nothing!--phases her.

This was just a dream about loving a kitty and I so enjoyed it.

------

The next story is about my husband, who just returned from Paris tonight. He is a gourmand and while dining at a restaurant in Paris, for which he had held reservations for quite some time, he was enjoying a glass of wine with the owner. It was time to order another bottle of wine and the owner said he had an extensive wine cellar. He told my husband to describe his ideal bottle of wine.

So my husband said he liked a Cotes du Rhone from the southern end (or was in the northern? I can 't remember). He commented that he had had a bottle of this wine from another restauranteur they both knew named Pierre. There was one other item he told him about the wine but I can't recall what it was. At any rate, he remarked, "I know there are no more bottles of it--Pierre said I had the last bottle."

The restauranteur said, "I know that wine--it's "Mimi" (sp?) and in fact I have more bottles of it than anyone else and they are in my wine cellar.

Unbeknownst to Pierre, this restauranteur had managed to purchase many cases of this wine, so Pierre was misinformed about the supply that was left. All these years my husband had longed for that wine and then he walked into this situation. He is very psychic, although more on an unconscious level.

Shoot, I have one more good story but I am fading fast--very tired. Will write this one up in the next few days.

[BlueIris]

26. Spooky. For some odd reason, all weekend I've been thinking about

Senator Byrd. Especially this morning. Thinking about his 2002 comments about how eventually Bush would mess up and then, in Byrd's words, "this house of cards will fall." Some of you may have noticed my threads in the Lounge about baby names for my future sons. Well one of the potential names I've considered was Byrde, and this morning, I found myself randomly writing it over and over again on a notepad. Saw in GD just now that apparently his wife has passed away. Interesting, in kind of a strange way. Glad I haven't been thinking about any other Democratic sentators lately.

[NJCher]

27. yes, eerie

I find that happening, too, although I wasn't tuned into Byrd.

Wonder why we tune in to some and not others?

I recall on another thread that Quakerfriend said she knew she had cancer before she was diagnosed. She said she ran into instances of it in others, I believe.




Cher

[woodsprite]

37. I had a similar experience

I was dreaming - very vivid - that I was peering into what looked to be a waiting room of some kind. These women were talking, then I noticed that it was my Mom, my grandmother and my great aunt. They were talking about me and I figured "I" must have been in an exam room someplace. My aunt or Mom said something about it being cancer, then my grandmother said not to worry, that soon I'd be happier and in a better place. I have never had a dream about my aunt or my grandmother since their passing. This was all three and I could have reached out and touched them, they looked so real. I also tried to pooh-pooh the dream since it was after a biopsy that showed nothing to be that concerned with - 6 months later at the rebiopsy, cancer was diagnosed.

This group is the only people I've shared this dream with. I'm sure my hubby would think I was freaky. Even though he knows that I've had some things happen in the past that fell into the "visitation" category.

I had an equally disturbing dream the other night about a tsunami-type event hitting the eastern shore. That could have been totally symbolic though with everything I've been going thru (trying to decide if radiation and it's possibly permanent side effects are worth it or just being vigilant will work better - 10% vs 3% recurrence rates, but once you've had rads for this, you apparently can't have it again)

I dreamed that I was driving our camper and huge waves were washing over the highway, not pushing us off, but slowing us tremendously. I finally found a high point and dropped my husband and daughter off and continued on my way up a huge steep incline to see if our campground was there. I didn't drop off my 5yo son, he was still with me. When I came almost to the peak of the hill, I had to abandon our van (not enough umph to take the trailer to the top). I got out, straddled the trailer hitch and hauled the trailer up to the top of the hill myself with sheer strength. At the top where it leveled off, there was some woman there taking a drink and catching her breath and I had to wait, supporting the weight of the trailer, before I could pull it up there to rest myself.

At that point I woke up. I think it's probably more about me, but just incase, if something like that happens the first 2 wks of July, just know that I've really enjoyed DU ;-) We're doing 2 wks at the outer banks and there is no place to go if there is a tidal wave.

[BlueIris]

28. After a weekend of thinking about Bush flipping people off, Scalia,

the Downing Street Memo, wondering what's up with government attempts to regulate online discussion of politics, and evolutionary questions about the so-called 'missing link' between primitive and anatomically modern humans, I wake up today to blog coverage of Scalia making a lovely four-fingered wave, another DSM, the news that no judge will yet move to regulate online poli-talk, and the possible discovery of the missing link's remains. Insane! Well, actually, it's a good thing I feel so much validation of my intuitive skills after encountering these stories. I've been trying to concentrate on things other than my psychic abilities lately, and I've been worried that this might mean those abilities (such as they are) would diminish.

[BlueIris]

29. I was *just* thinking about Andy Card yesterday,

a little twitter in the back of my mind, and today, he's officially out. Hmmm.

[BlueIris]

33. I've been getting a strange sense that something huge is about to

happen with John Conyers. While meditating about the near future, I've been seeing the King of Wands all OVER my Tarot spreads, which almost always signifies an event, discovery or announcement either from or relating to him. Or, I guess something could be up with the probate issues surrounding my grandpa's estate. The King of Wands also tends to represent him and his influence in my life.

[NJCher]

34. vivid images

I had to take a video back or get charged for it so it was just prior to midnight and I was driving home from the video store. I so did NOT want to go out because I get so bored driving. I found my mind very restless. Seeking anything to make the trip less boring, I was "keying in" some music I was listening to on the radio. I was pretending that my car console was a keyboard.

I was listening to this program called "New Sounds Live," and they played two pieces in succession that very much appealed to me. Actually, it was a harpsichord keyboard that I was simulating.

Ostensibly, I was doing this to alleviate my boredom but as I began thinking about which "keys" I should strike as I was listening, images started jumping out at me. They were quite vivid and my emotional reaction to them was to feel familiarity.

The music was Bach's Prelude I. What I saw was a musical group made up of men and women, perhaps 6-7 people. The women wore those sort of Dutch caps that you see in paintings from the 1800s. I could see the floors, the musical instruments, the room, everything; there were even feelings accompanying this experience.

That place was New England--New Hampshire, to be specific.

[NJCher]

35. trees

I have this relationship with the trees on my property and the surrounding ones. Somehow we "talk" to each other. I'm surrounded by huge northeastern canopy trees. Despite their beauty, some of the idiots I have for neighbors have had them taken down so they could have "more sun." Well, I found out that our town has a law against taking down trees, so on the latest neighbor episode where the trees were threatened, I used the law to prevent them from being cut down.

But here's the funny part. During the time I found the law and the time I gave it to the neighbor who was threatening the trees, my Webshots screensaver got "stuck" on trees. Yes, everytime I went to my computer, there was a picture of trees.

It was as if the trees were working through my screensaver, imploring me to get that law in front of the neighbor "right now!" So even though it was Easter Sunday, I "listened" to the trees and made sure he knew what the city ordinance said. I tiptoed through the little forest that separates our properties and gave it to his son. I said, "Make sure your dad reads this right away."

After I watched my neighbor read the ordinance, I went back to my screensaver, which had returned to normal. Now it is showing ocean scenes, city skylines, etc. Not just trees, LOL. Yesterday I was mowing my lawn and looked up at them and said, "You guys crack me up!"

Also, yesterday the tree cutters came. The only thing they did was trim a few branches and cut two dead trees. I was quite happy when I saw that's all they were going to do. This neighbor had previously told me he was thinking of taking around 20 out so he could build a swimming pool.

Thank heavens for the tree ordinance in my town.

[I Have A Dream]

36. What a wonderful story. I love the connection that you have...

to so many things, Cher.

[Quakerfriend]

38. This is such a wonderful thread! I have not been around lately

so, I thought I would drop in to say hello!:hi: I hope that you are all well, and enjoying this lovely spring weather.

Funny NJ Cher that you should mention your relating to the trees. I, too, have this same relationship with trees, in general. And, I believe that my youngest son (9 yrs) does too. I can remember when I was 14 and the neighbors began to spray their trees. I ran in the house and sat by the phone crying, trying to find the courage to call them and ask them to please stop.

I think we are born with it- ie, empathy toward things in nature.

My next door neighbor just cut down a beautiful silver maple. The diameter of the trunk measured 11 feet across!! He is putting in a pool. Just seconds before the tree guys began to cut I noticed a mama raccoon sitting inside a hole near the top of the tree! She looked just like a miniature panda. I snapped a photo of her. Luckily she had not had her babies yet, and she scampered off to find some peace elsewhere. Ugh!

I so love what is said in the "Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield. He says that one day man will begin to replace parking lots and strip malls with forests because all of humankind will finally come to realize and appreciate the spiritual value of the old-growth forests. Whenever I have the chance I visit Muir (?sp) Woods in CA, and I always notice have rejuvenated I feel afterwards!!

Also, Woodsprite, I hope you are feeling well. I feel I must tell you that my psychic told me several years ago that a tsunami would hit NJ. She was very specific about it being NJ. I told her, at the time, that I had heard that Virginia Beach area might be susceptible to this and she said: "No. It will happen in NJ". She did not give a time line. I should mention that she is extremely accurate. She even told me about 9/11 two years before it happened!! She told me that "Terrorists would be hijacking planes up and down the eastcoast...you know, like at the World Trade Center" - These were her exact words. Of course, I did not know what on earth she was talking about at the time.
Anyway, I hope that your drive does not take you along the Jersey coastline en route to the Carolinas.

About a month ago my youngest son was taking a bath and when I walked in I noticed that he had been crying. So, I asked him why and he said that he was just "sad that when Sunny (our little 7-yr-0ld Corgi) dies he won't remember me". "Since I cannot remember my past lifetimes, I guess he won't be able to remember his either". Then last week he asked me to describe to him what happens when an animal dies and crosses over.

I guess he could feel that something was going to happen to our little Sunny dog. Because last weekend our beloved Sunny herniated a disc in his back and we had to put him to sleep.
:cry:

[MissWaverly]

39. Hi, I dreamed about my bird after he died

and he was talking to me with real words but in a funny way, not like the way we verbalize, but
the gist of what he was telling me was that he was going to come back as a macaaw because
he really liked it when I used to play the "Blue Bird of Happiness" He like the big band
sound and he said that he wanted to be a blue bird too.

[Quakerfriend]

40. Ah, that's so cute. It's so nice to have 'visitors' from the other side.

They always seem so happy, don't they? I've had several family members and friends visit me, and they seemed to be doing better than ever! It always left me feeling just fine about how they passed.

One of my friends and colleagues, Barbara, died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 36. She had had a pretty perfect life up until her sophomore year in college. Then she lost her mother and brother unexpectantly. Dropped out. Got married and had a daughter. Husband was a bad alcoholic. Barely surviving financially. etc. I always felt for her. She was a beautiful girl with a lovely heart. When she died of cancer I felt so, so badly for her and the way her life had turned out.

But, she visited me and told me how much she loved her new home. And, boy did she look smashing!!

[MissWaverly]

41. I am glad that you had a chance to see her

The funny thing about my bird talking was that he used his whole body, like when he said, glad
to see you, yeah, yeah, real glad; it was accompanied by a very emphatic head bob. I wonder if
animals communicate visually and with sound at the same time. Also he told me that my love
for him had given him a little "credit" that he could give to somebody else. It was really neat, because I was really blue after he died.

[Quakerfriend]

42. That's soooooo sweet. What a great story !

I pray every night that our Sunny dog will visit me.

[MissWaverly]

45. Try and think about him before you go to bed

think about his favorite things, what he really liked to do, maybe you will be able to
communicate through a dream. Good Luck to you.

:-)

[japple]

43. To the tree people: if you haven't read the diaries of Opal

Whiteley, you're in for a real treat. Quakerfriend, it sounds like something you and your son might both enjoy. I first read Opal's diary with a reading group and we all fell in love with this little girl who, in the early days of the 20th century, was...see clip from amazon.com)


"Orphaned before she was 5, adopted by an Oregon lumberman and his wife and transported across the country to live in nearly 20 lumber camps by the time she was 12 years old, Opal turned to the beauty of the natural world around her and saw it like no one I've read before or since I discovered this amazing journal. Not only is her keen sense of observation astounding for a girl of her age, but the unique language in which she conveys it to us allows the reader to do away with any preconceptions that might be held, revealing our world in an entirely original, glorius light. It's almost like seeing for the first time.
A brief sample: 'Now are come the days of leaves. They talk with the wind. I hear them tell of their borning days. They whisper of the hoods they wear. Today they talk of the time before their borning days. They tell how they were a part of the earth and the air before their tree-borning days. In grey days of winter they go back to earth again. But they do not die.'

44. P. S. To the tree people, animal lovers, spiritualists, all

You will love Opal Whiteley and her diaries. Maybe, if there's enough interest, we can have a discussion on this forum about her. She would have been right at home in our midst, but, unfortunately, was way ahead of her time.

46. One of the reasons I always loved the northwest, especially in

North Idaho and Western Montana. There are beautiful forests, lakes and rivers in those places. The trees of course are the royalty, living things that create a home for all the other species. The lakes and rivers die when the forest is clear cut away.

Trees are really special and rare especially when they create a forest. I live in a nice place in California now, but it is no way a lush environment of trees because of the climate. It's the reason we don't have the lakes and rivers that the northwest has.

48. I'm so sorry, Quakerfriend

That you lost your little Sunny dog. :cry:

:hug:

Sometimes they contact us right away and sometimes it takes awhile. I am sure, as sensitive as you are, you will hear from him.

It's such an amazing experience when one does hear from them. With me, they always communicate something that only the two of us know about. So you just know it's them; there's no doubt about it.

69. I'm so sorry about Sunny, and your son seems to be so advanced -

(my dog is sick and I'm worried to death about her)

You mentioned how as a child you tried to gather the courage to get your neighbors to stop spraying trees. Early this year, our parrot watched my fiancee prune a persimmon tree next to his perch.

Now, Bird rips off leaves and bark himself with such pride and impunity! But as he watched the pruning he was positively crying (baby-bird whimpers) after the first few branches were cut off. He became increasingly distraught and I had to take him to the back of the house to quiet down.

BTW the persimmon tree is beautiful and happy, it really needed to be pruned.

[Digit]

72. I have a parrot, too and those baby bird whimpers break my heart

He had no idea you were doing the right thing. Aren't birds incredible?
I am constantly amazed at how much love a little feathered body can contain.
Mine has a ritual when coming out of the cage that I have to kiss her repeatedly on the back
of the head. She actually expects this...she also loves to be kissed on the side of her head when
on my shoulder.

You have made your bird very happy by allowing him to do his little pruning.
You were a good bird mom by removing him from the pruning that was going on.

What kind of parrot do you have?

[BlueIris]

47. Last night, I had a lengthy and beautiful dream about John Kerry and

Julia Thorne, set in the 1970s, involving Kerry's first campaign for office. This evening, I found out that Julia Thorne passed away a couple of days ago.

[MissWaverly]

49. she was a wonderful lady

I'm glad that you dreamed about her.

[NJCher]

50. Wow, BlueIris

You did it again. Interesting, how you sense out these things.



Cher

[BlueIris]

81. Ja, I have to post that I think this is a strange place for my intuitive

ability to localize.

And I understand why I would be picking up on pain affiliated with John Kerry and his family--we have a powerful mind-meld, he and I, a bond. Yes, you may laugh, but I swear it's true. But Byrd? I mean, we share some opinions about Bush, and I've always though Byrd was a brave man, a fire-brand. Not to mention that the death of a spouse can be a very, very stressful thing, (regarded by some psychologists as the single most traumatic event a person can experience, sometimes beyond that of the death of a child or parent) even if you're ready for it and the spouse is ready for it, and even if you're accepting of the idea that death is a natural part of life. So, maybe that's why the death of Byrd's wife came through. However, I generally only get psychic flashes about people who are deeply linked with the exactly the same political and social movements I am, and are close to me, or volunteer work I have done on that front. The only correlation I can come up between my connection to Byrd and my connection to Kerry, though, has to do with perspectives about Bush, and still--there are a lot of differences between Byrd's take on Bush and Kerry's, and mine for that matter. Plus, I never think about Byrd. I think he's a good statesman (for his constituents, anyway) but I don't even really like him. I adore Kerry and think about him daily.

I just hope I don't have anymore flashes about the deaths of spouses of famous Democratic politicians. Even though I accept that death is a natural occurrence and am not personally afraid of it, not everyone embraces that philosophy and does our side need anymore shit at this time? I think not.

51. I have been getting the following, and so has a very psychic

friend of mine:

What we have seen so far of the repugs is only the tip of the iceberg.
Later on, the truth will come out, and it will be much worse than we imagined. The extent of the greed and corruption is more widespread and heinous then we have realized.

And at this point, they know that their time may soon be up, and they are in a feeding frenzy of greed and theft. The billions of dollars earmarked for Iraq is being stolen as we speak.

There are a number of other covert actions that they have taken, that will hopefully also come to light.

However I feel it is possible that the Dems, if and when, they come to power, may be persuaded not to reveal all the horrible details in the interest of "national unity and healing". Some of the dirty deeds many never be known. (BTW I personally believe that the American people should be given the full story and all the details.The only real way to heal, and to prevent future problems, is to face reality.)

[MissWaverly]

54. I keep getting flashes of the symbol of justice

I think things are going to come out to bust the scandals wide open, then the American people
and the congress will have to deal.

[cassiepriam]

56. Yes, if and when it ever all comes out, it will be very interesting to see

how the American people deal with it. Some may stay in denial forever.
But it is going to be harder and harder for them to do that as things get so much worse. I think the Repugs will try and blame it on other people but that is going to be harder to do as well.

[MissWaverly]

57. it's interesting that one of the Matthew prophecies

also said that change would come from the Justice Dept. not the Congress

[cassiepriam]

58. Yes, the biggest threat to the Bush cabal is internal....

...the rest of the repug party, the CIA, DOD, etc.
Hadn't thought of Justice Dept, but yes that fits too.

[MissWaverly]

59. I think it is important that justice come back to the USA

the worse thing is that we have now a grey area, how many times has this administration said
we don't torture, well, people have died while they were being tortured, so it is torture.
The problem is that so many things the American people don't agree with are being done in our
name. We need to get back to the rule of law and the system of checks and balances. The image
that I keep seeing is the figure of justice blindfolded, holding the scales. What it means
I don't know.

[cassiepriam]

60. I hope it means karma time! Balancing of right and wrong....

and it happens in this lifetime!

[MissWaverly]

61. I think it's coming soon

I have been seeing the image consistently, so it must mean something, let's hope it's soon. I am just about out of patience.

[cassiepriam]

63. Me too. nt

[cassiepriam]

66. This is no longer about Bush, but about the American people.

Bush has made his karmic choices, now we shall see if the American
people can step up to the plate and do the right thing.

This has been karma in the making for ALL of us. And it remains to be seen
what will happen as it all plays out.

[MissWaverly]

70. yes, I think that we are sadder and wiser

I think that we no longer expect the president to be a "buddy"

[cassiepriam]

74. It remains to be seen, upcoming elections will tell the tale.

And yes people voted for Bush because he was the guy they could
drink a beer with. I hope the public is rethinking this point. But it shows you the general immaturity of the American voter. Let's hope the public has evolved a bit since then.

[MissWaverly]

78. they always said people vote with their eye on the economy

they are not going to forget the pain at the gas pump or last winter's fuel bills

[cassiepriam]

79. Yes kind of ironic that gas prices may be what brings Bush down...

The whole point of his war was to get cheap gas ....

[Grateful for Hope]

80. At least this is what we were told

I do see the irony though, and, I can't think of a better consequence of a negative situation. The "waking up" of the American public.

[cassiepriam]

82. Of course it all depends upon having free elections. May not

matter what the people are thinking.

[Grateful for Hope]

62. In my gut of guts (for a lack of a better description)

I strongly feel that justice will prevail, and that this will be in the not too distant future. Also, I have a feeling that we will not, as cassipriam indicates, know everything. But, I feel we will know "enough", and that this knowledge will be very difficult for the bulk of society to process.

[cassiepriam]

67. It don't know if the American people will be able to digest it all.

They certainly have not been very good at facing reality so far.
They have easily swallowed all the propaganda.

[Grateful for Hope]

68. That is certainly true

But, I have been noticing that people I associate with at work, etc. are waking up somewhat. It has taken higher gas prices and the war in Iraq to do this.

[MissWaverly]

71. let's hope that we get real changes & not phony baloney

I am tired of the government laughing at us, and saying, we are the deciders, yes, the American
people know what we want, we want responsible leaders, who don't support pre-emptive wars, torture, reckless spending and believe in fair elections.

[Grateful for Hope]

73. Definitely!

It would be refreshing even if we simply had an absence of corruption.

[cassiepriam]

75. Geesh, you guys want it all :))

We are in the clutches of a ruthless oligarchy. Their propaganda campaign has been very effective in mesmerizing the american voter who tends to be immature and self focused. It is going to be up the American people at this point, it remains to be seen whether they are up to the task.

[cassiepriam]

52. I have been getting the following, and so has a very psychic

friend of mine:

What we have seen so far of the repugs is only the tip of the iceberg.

[japple]

53. Cassie, I think you're right about it only being the tip of the iceberg.

But I think there are a number of democrats who are also on the take. And I think this is going to be at all levels of government.

[cassiepriam]

55. Yes, I think it is going to be quite complicated,

I wonder if we will ever know the full truth?

[divineorder]

64. If they do try to keep it hidden in the name of national unity

This stuff is going to be posted all over the internet. One of the hidden costs of Shrub's evil doings is that the intelligence services, especially once Poppy has gone to the great beyond, will give up all they know on the Bush crime family in order to permanently keep them out of national or even local politics. There is simply too much hidden scandal that they have personally had to take a bullet for. But the sense of hidden betrayal will bring out too many enemies for the family as power to survive another generation. Watch for the inheritance battle over Poppy's estate to become quite violent and angry, with people who have felt left out determined to get what they feel they deserve.

I felt a sinking feeling today with Blackwell. But more hopeful for November. Fellow Republicans who helped him cheat feel a sense of betrayal, and may well rig the machines against him in order to lose. And local Cincinnatians who were urged to vote for a "good role model" and create a black Governor will be disappointed in him.

Yesterday was American Democracy's renewal. For years American has looked to Europe for inspiration. Now its time to look South for energy, and we will.

[cassiepriam]

65. Aren't they trying to get control of the internet now?

To prevent the kind of thing you are talking about?
The truth being disseminated freely?
You are so right, their biggest enemy is the
truth and they must block it any way they can.

Yes it will be interesting to see what happens in Ohio....

Do you mean looking south in terms of South America??

Very interesting what you are saying about the Bush family fighting
over the money when Pappy goes. There is an indication in GWB's natal chart that he has some violent past lives with a sibling. I always wondering which one and how it would play out in this lifetime.

[japple]

76. Re: GWB's violent past lives with a sibling.

Wonder if that might be Poppy? He hasn't had a good relationship with his father.

[cassiepriam]

77. Hadn't thought of that.... could be! nt
