Hi C-A

Often we get puns and analogies in messages, plus a few distortions. For example, Edgar Cayce's spirit helper occasionally misspelled, mispronounced or simply was in error about details in otherwise correct statements.

The word "understand" means, literally, to stand beneath something, like understanding an awning in the front of a building to keep out of the rain. It's unusual, but a valid usage. Another example, is the British court in which the bailiff tells the people to "be upstanding" when the judges enter.

So now you are standing beneath prior circumstances fully, and seeking to comprehend what's happening. (That's another similar word, meaning to grasp all around.)

My personal suggestion, which comes from how I personally handle such events, would be to dedicate the experiences "to the Highest Good" (that's usually safe) and then pray for a new awareness through which to  make them a useful part of your reality. My personal results from this are usually an insight into why things were that way, plus a hint at where to go next.

I hope that your interpretation of these suggestions will lead you to an equally useful outcome.

Thank you both "very" much,

Your kind/knowledgeable words have helped me out tremendously...

That bewilders me that you wrote that... for it ties into my situation flawlessly. Now that I'm remembering clearer... A few years back, I did "sincerely" ask in my prayers to understand better/take the pain from, someone that I dearly know... I felt extreme remorse/empathy for that person... After hearing that message, and going through what I went through... I felt as though I was in "that" person's shoes, and experiencing exactly what that person experienced, and how they came to be the way they were... However, this time with a twist... it was now "me". It's "so" complex, I wouldn't even be able to cleary describe in words exactly what it all entailed... Now that it is behind me... The original person that I had prayed for has had a turn around (for the better) in terms of life circumstances. However, now I must carry a "huge" torch so to speak... The weight I feel has been tremendous at times, but I'm doing my best.

Glad to hear I'm not alone with these experiences laffingrain.

That's what it sort of feels like in a weird way Laffingrain... I guess I "had" to go through it, although now that I've been through it, I feel scarred in a way... I hear scars heal with time, so I'll wait, and pray hearnestly for healing in the meanwhile.

Speaking of guide's Laffingrain... A few years ago, I was sitting in a room with one of my friends. My friend was on the computer, and I was sitting down reading. All of a sudden my friend turned to say something to me and froze... My friend said in all honesty that there was a silhouette of a person standing behind me... but, that it had disappeared. Now... my friend doesn't believe that anything happens after we die... we just blank out so to speak, like going to sleep, but instead you're dead... no dreams, no nothing... (I can't convince my friend otherwise... I've tried.) But at any rate, the fact that my friend has no beliefs of guardians, or "God" for that matter, goes to show the authenticity of what was seen that night. At the time, I couldn't explain it myself. People say a picture is worth a thousand words.... I now say, "A face is worth a thousand words". If only someone else would have been there to see the expression on that face... I've personally never seen an individual so shocked and bewildered... over apparently "nothing".

Peace to both of you again & thanks... your input is alway appreciated/helpful,
