People will chuckle and make disparaging comments - but you are experiencing something that others have as well... I am smiling about the way your family dealt with the death of a loved one. Continuing to acknowledge, and send positive prayers and thoughts to those who pass over, is a gift you give them. They ARE still aware of us, and when we shut our minds to them - there is nothing they can do. But when we keep our minds open to them - they can bring us an assurance that life goes on... in a PERSONAL way, which fosters a surety within us.... It is the negative, painful thoughts which slow down the connection - Loving, hopeful thoughts give them strength, and allow them to deliver signs and messages...

edit: that's why it's called FALLING asleep.... The Barbara Brennan school has good teachings.... ( The Hands of Light book ) More than your average .....

It happens most frequently quite unconsciously.. ( the meddling ).. it is the very rare individual who has the abilities emerging, who would CHOOSE to meddle. But you are realizing that thoughts, feelings, emotions and such, are not contained within the body. They are broadcast for you to pick up..... think about that.... also think about this : You are describing what I consider to be natural abilities, emerging into your conscious awareness. You are becoming more sensitive, and your projections are getting "stronger" in other spheres as well. Without the conscious awareness which ACTUAL meditation brings - you will be completely blind to what YOU are projecting towards others your feel "connected" with.... And it is not a pleasant thing to be dragged into another persons uncontrolled creations in the Astral, because the individual sees no reason to control the mind.... I'm definitely NOT trying to be a wet blanket, but there is a way of progressing down the path you are questioning, and there are a million ways to stall and make no progress.... no matter WHAT abilities a soul finds emerging, they will only come to their true potential by acknowledging that some of this is a bodily process, and there is work to do from that perspective.... the vessel must be spotless for the messages to have that character as well... Like I said, I do not mean to be a wet blanket - or discourage you - but in some matters, I would rather have the info ( irregardless of where it comes from ), than make the inevitable mistakes of ignorance.... My intentions are for your best good, and you may take what fits and ditch the rest, as usual - simply my opinion..... In short form : concentrate on the meditation ( just not so hard ), and you have my personal guarantee that the rest will start to make sense... This may help : It is a subtle moment, but right before you drop off to sleep, there is a moment when your body is asleep, but your mind is still awake - right before you drift off..... where occasionally you will think a quick parting thought before you drift off..... have you ever noticed this moment? It IS the proper stage of meditation... you do it naturally every night. The problem is you are STOPPING it from happening, when you try, by conscious control..... you are focusing on the connection.... so it remains.... Try instead this : the natural "feeling" of falling into this stage involves a subtle weight sensation - and a falling inward... some folks hear sounds as they slip deeper ( loud bangs - or whooshing, or some such.... ) - but remember it is a NATURAL process, you must stay very relaxed... and the process is the very same as falling asleep - except you are aware that that moment is approaching, and you are determined to "stay" and remain aware in the body... from there there are countless ways to proceed - all up to you..... it is the state of being "disconnected" from the physical body which brings the change of perspective.... ( sorry that was so long - but I really thought it needed to be written here with your questions... )

Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise....

I'm with Jonathan... watch closely for things that relate to your new senses..... exactly WHAT are you picking up and WHY? - it can be very tricky figuring that out, but well worth the insight, it will clue you in to what else to watch for.... edit: I am actually surprised that you did not relate seeing specific numbers on clocks..... like 11:11, or all 2's, or all 5's - numbers are like signposts - our minds latch on to them when things are happening in our life we need to pay attention to...... and as far as what Jonathan said - I agree thoroughly, but understand that sometimes you do not get to choose what you receive... do not be overly embarrassed or discomfited by what you pick up - there will be an underlying reason for it all... and do not make the mistake of thinking that just because you pick something up, that it has to be shared....It will be, of a majority of times, strictly for your edification.... Remain thankful and wondrous - that is the proper mindset...

I really enjoyed reading his story.... that site has a unique way of imparting the man's story, I liked it...

at the site that tsukino_Rei posted, you will find a whole section which connects reincarnation to Christianity - very detailed, and developed over quite a bit of time now...

I myself, have too many email addresses to ask for one more - but the excitement was contagious.... you may retrieve your blanket, sir....

whooo- hooo.... go get 'em... ....... .....

our friends appreciate vacations too...

Still sending my prayers Storm.....

well, it should be assumed that I will never stop asking questions.... so your understanding will be regarded on a moment by moment basis... it shan't get stagnant... I MUCH prefer her to be falling off her camel, actually.... I love it when the texts show us a human moment - it is why my son is named Ichabod....
