Wow Marilyn Traver, LOL. I'm glad you found it true, I guess, LOL. I know it's true, as it was my experience, LOL.

But do you have any other feedback besides it's true? Why were you becoming emotional while reading my story? Any further insights would be appreciated

I certainly feel also you are telling the truth as you experienced it. you have your own direct evidence that we are more than our bodies operating here and many people have much less experience than you. it looks like L is trying hard to be forgiven fully by you. it would be interesting to someday discover just why he did ride off into the sunset and then later regret it. thank you for sharing so openly and candidly. love, alysia

        Dear Seeker,

                            As a practicing psychic/Medium I congratulate your open mindness, I too was raised in a devout Christian atmosphere but a part of me always knew the deeper things . I congratulate you for allowing self to seek  your truth instead of being led by others perception of what truth is.  I congratulate your courage in writing all of this down for there is a part of you that is a tiny bit fearful of being found out by some folks who are close to you. I am sensing that all of this is a giant step forward in your spiritual awakening of who you really are.  The karmic chapter of you and L earth 's lifetimes has come to a loving conclusion that we never cease to be connected to each other. either here or there. May I ask a personal question about your relationship with present husband at this time?   splinnusa@aol.com   http://www.spiritlinnusa.com

          Dear Seeker,

You replied:

I really can't make heads or tails of this statement too much. I understand what you said, but I don't see how it really applies to me that much.

  Dear Seeker,    Perhaps in future when you feel more comfortable you will sign your actual name instead of  the title" seeker." You are safe here and among friends.

     Your reply:
                       I'm seeking the truth, but I am still cautious that the truth is nothing but something the devil uses to misguide us.
      Seeker, in time you will learn that truth is letting go of fear and old cliches of the church using a horned being in a red suit and pitchfork to control its people. By using  discernment at all times, your higher self will let you know what is truth and what is not,  certain things you hear or read will ring true, your higher self knows  this and lets you know whether to stop or go on.  I wish you well,,,love linn conyers

         Hello,
                    I am sorry if I offended you , Bruce's board is a family board and all should be made comfortable . You are among friends please belive that.  My sincere apology if I made you feel  uncomfortable as that certainly was not my intention.   I wish you well, linn

Yes, I've read her apology and I'm still here .

Marilyn, you wrote: "Sometimes we're just not ready to hear the truth."

I didn't come here for anyone else's truth. And from the posts I read before I posted, other people have different opinions from my truth, for example, but I have no problem with that. I didn't come here to argue and shove my truths down people's throats.

This supposed "truth" is not even what I thought I'd be getting feedback on. It's not even in the direction I thought the conversation would go. And I thought of detailing that, but it seems so obvious to me, that I don't see that I need too. Besides, I do like to let people write what they are able to give feedback on.

I would imagine that you people *must* realize that people come to this board with different "truths" and beliefs. I'm sure you guys know that people come to seek and to learn and to conclude for themselves. So whatever "truth" you think I'm rejecting, is irrelevant to me.

I stated my opinion, and perhaps it offended someone. But it was not meant to offend anyone. So when you write Marilyn, that "Sometimes we're just not ready to hear the truth" that insinuates that perhaps I've offended someone, and here is the correction to what I've said with someone else's truth. And that is irrelevant to me.

Your all entitled to your truths, as am I. I did not come here to adopt ideas. I've read lots of books, I believe certain things, and I reject certain things.... same as we all do.

Perhaps other people have different, insightful perspectives on my larger posts now .

Thank you

Seeker,

The story you have shared is very interesting.  I am confused, though, about what you are hoping to learn from people on this forum by sharing it.  You say you are not interested in finding "truth" and exploring "beliefs."  So what else is there to talk about?  Under your screen name you have written "Seeking the Truth about the Afterlife."  So it appears that you are in fact interested in discovering truth.  One important way to do that is to discuss beliefs, since everyone interprets truth through the lens of their beliefs.

Another way might be to discuss more details about your experience, and compare them with the experiences of others.  For example, what were your visions of L. actually like?  What did these experience feel like? -- dream-like state, or full-blown visual stimulus like everyday seeing, or some other type of conscious awareness?  Are you totally convinced these visions were coming from L's soul in the afterlife, or could it be that your intense love for him has inspired you to experience intense imaginative thoughts? (I do not say this to be offensive, simply to raise the possibility for consideration).  If the experiences were coming from L's soul, what do you think is the message that is being communicated to you from beyond the grave? -- that you need to move on and stop thinking so much about L., or that your soul is still bound to L. in some way?

I will share an experience I had recently.  Several years ago when I was in college I met a girl whom I instantly felt a connection with.  It felt like a spiritual thing, like I had known her before in another life or something like that.  I was very attracted to her primarily for soulish reasons.  I tried to develop a relationship with her but it never got serious because she had lots of friends and was the type who rarely got close to anybody, and I was too shy to press the issue.  However, I knew she felt some connection to me, because she would invite me up into her room to talk and pray with her (not for sex), and it just sort of seemed like we were old friends, kind of a deja vu feeling, even though we had not known each other very long.  I don't know how close she felt to me; I never had the courage to ask.  Also, I got seriously involved with another young woman whom I was more physically attracted to, but I never felt as emotionally connected to her for some reason.  It's hard to explain.  Anyway, I have always regretted that I did not try to develop more of a relationship with the first girl.  When college was over, we lost touch.  Every once in a while I think of her and wonder what she's up to.  Then, just last night I had a dream in which I was married to her.  It was an absolutely wonderful dream and felt so natural.  I woke up saying "I love you, [her name], I love you so much," over and over again.  When I was fully awake I felt like I missed her deeply.  This dream happened totally out of the blue.

It just goes to show that people may have stronger connections with some people than they think -- on a soul level, perhaps.  Maybe I was really close to this person before we were born into our present lives.

Anyway, just thought you might be interested to hear that little anecdote of mine....
