What a wounderful experience for you vickey.You know we dont think how imporent an experience like this is,ontill a while after.I had one where a man came from nowhere.I was on my way home from work,when I got a flat tire.It was snowing and very cold like it always is in canada.I saw a clear spot on the left side of the road.As I pulled over,another car pulled up in frount of me.At the time that this happened I was coming down with the flue,and not feeling very good.I got out of my car,and this man came around and told me to get back in my car.he asked for my keys so he could get the jack and spare out of the trunk.It was than the I saw that this man looked like he came from the office,as he a suit and tie but no heavey jacket on.he had nothing on his hands.I asked him if his hands where cold.he said no.in though it was 15 below zero.He quickley changed the tire.I told him that there wernt many people around like him,and he that there are.with that he got into his car and pulled out around me.now there was a strait road that we were on,as he pulled out,as i stared my carI looked in my mirrow.and his car was gone.It was as if he and the car just vanished.How many people have had these experiences.There must be quite a lot.George

I had an experience with a man, he seemed physical and his friend was physical too. they were bikers.

I wanted to know if there were helpful people in the world, and would I be safe to travel? could I rely on the universe to assist me or was I all alone? sort of like is it a benevolent world or just dog eat dog? that sort of thinking.

so I had a dream I couldn't steer and pulled into a road stop to get it fixed as very scary not to steer. there I asked the man at the head if they had mechanic guides on this side of the veil? he said mam, we have everything you could possibly need on this side. then he said your road angel is right over there...the mechanic soon had my steering fixed and we did it together.
then in Real Time I did lose my steering on the road and pulled into a convenience store and a biker was standing there in front smoking a cig. I cautiously approached to ask for a screwdriver and walked back to my car. he followed offering more assistance and we fixed it. then I remembered my question, was I taken care of on my journey of life? the timing was perfect. I pulled in, he was standing there in the front, in the middle of the parking lot, like we had an appointment.

I said are you broke? (trying to offer money) he and his buddy laughed and laughed and said not all bikers are broke but he accepted from me a soda. I was dying from gratitude to find him. it changed my whole outlook on life.

love, alysia

Thanks for the  story, but I feel a bit unsure if it was supernatural. Could it not just have because it was snowing that his car seemed to "disappear" as you looked in the mirror?

just my opinion George needed this experience and it was a NP (nonphysical) helper, that if George hadn't of received help it might have changed his destiny, like freezing to death and it wasn't his time.

I have several friends whose autos turned into jello substance when passing thru another auto and a train for one of them. this shows our world to be insubstantial, an allusion, a movie we participate in. things are not what they seem, and people are not what they seem here.

It's weird about the precise predicting the future thing - I mean if our actions can really be known in exact detail what happens to free will etc? Oh well, that's another topic altogether.




It is my belief that in this instance, these predictions were given for me to recognize the situation for what it was.  I think that from this man's perspective, being that he can "see more of the bigger picture" than what the rest of us can, he was able to see into the future so to speak, see these silly details that would be coming up.  For him it was probably an insubstantial thing to know.  To us it's really bizarre!

We do still have our free will, we always do in my opinion.  And I do believe that we set things into motion for ourselves way in advance without us even realizing this is happening.  The decisions I make today could be setting all sorts of stuff into motion down the road that might not even have an obvious connection to what I'm doing today.  It's definitely an interesting concept to think about.

Thanks for sharing that story Vicky.  Amazing!  I think that when you woke up several days after surgery at 2:30 am somehow emphasizes Bruce’s point that our non-physical experiences are stored in that area of consciousness where they occurred.  Essentially thinking about and remembering the young man again so intensely returned you to that area of consciousness where you could meet again.

Rob


Rob, you certainly hit the nail on the head!  Good catch in recognizing that concept.  I too realized that while writing my book and talking about this story.  But it is also almost a which-came-first sort of thing.  I usually look at the sequence of events in this story and think that because I was thinking of him, that is why he came to me at that moment.  However, I can also look at it and say that his presence was already there, and because I had been "exposed" to his presence prior, it was therefore easy for me to recognize it from that point on.  Because I was now able to sense him and think of him, my thinking of him placed me in the right frame of consciousness and he was now able to do something extraordinary that is outside of the normal framework of things, such as popping out of thin air.  He obviously had the capability of doing that extraordinary thing from day 1, but he didn't do it.  Reason being I wasn't ready for it.  The sequence of events opened a pathway for my getting consciously prepared to handle and accept such a thing, thus widening my framework of reality just a bit.  Had I been the type of person not able to accept such a thing, it either would not have happened or I simply would not have seen him pop into the room.

Thanks Alysia, glad you like that story.   Smiley

And I agree with you...George's experience does sound like he was helped by a nonphysical helper.  I think we tend to only judge experiences by the details and forget to look at the feelings we get.  I'm sure George had a feeling about this fellow that gave him reason to believe this wasn't an ordinary circumstance.  Then you take into consideration the odd coincidence of him showing up at the right time, not being dressed for the weather, changing a tire that fast despite the fact his hands should have been freezing, and then disappearing from sight.  It all adds up to one of "those" kinds of experiences, the kind most people just shrug off as weird but never consider it could be something out of this world.  I think just being open to that possibility makes more of these experiences possible for us. 

I can see the progression in my own experiences, and I see that had I not realized some things for what they are, then new experiences would not have been possible.

you're absolutely right Vicky we can shut down our sight and mind to such things so easy. my friend, whom you know too had this experience with the train going "thru" his car when he was a teenager and he said he just forgot about it, too mind blowing to think about something that happened that is not within one's context of belief. now he's 64 and he finally admits to himself it did happen.
takes us a long time to be accepting the laws of physics, gravity, whatever you want to call it, can be circumvented, miracles happen, PUL happens, destiny changed, new decisions made, we are not alone. you have your fellow, he said he was always with you, you must know this is true as he doesn't seem like a liar.
we have guidance, but nobody really knows this until they accept it might be true.

love, alysia

Yes, it's interesting, but one of those questions that have no definite answers, I think. Maybe he could see a small way into the future, with, as you say, some fairly insignificant details. If it was possible for anyone to see our whole futures, that would be weird. But yes, it can be argued that, say you were ominiscient and knew all the exact thoughts and actions and movements of every being and particle in the universe, you might be able to calculate some distance into the future as to what the consequences of the current situation will be.. One would like to think we do have some free will and aren;t completely determined by what actions and thoughts we have had before etc. If not it seems to make existance a bit meaningless. However when I look back at my life and see mistakes I made etc I can often see what pattern of thoughts and beliefs and behaviours etc (on my part and on others') lead up to me doing what i did. You can only help that as you grow in wisdom and experience, they can help you nudge things in a better direction on the whole

I think the most interesting thing here is how real life mirrored the dream. I wouldn;t necessarily be amazed that a tough guy biker was helpful. You can;t always judge by appearances (but I'm sure you know that and that's not exactly what you were saying). But then it is always nice when a stranger is kind; it boost your hope about the human race. I think part of the teaching about love, for example from Jesus or the BUddha, is intended to encourage us not to see love and compassion as something we keep for our families and friends , but something we should also feel for any other beings who share similar experiences, hopes and fears, joys and sufferings

Wow, Elite---excellent blog!

I have had spirits of persons who are still living come and visit me, when I was a child. I had three cousins come into my bedroom and play dolls with me and when they left, they exited through the wall.  I was heartbroken.
I had a deceased friend finally come to visit my home, as she said she would, and she sat in full physical form on my rocking chair and smiled at me as I passed by her. I said, " You finally came to visit my house, Nanna", and with that the image vanished.  I also "did  not see a spirit" of our deceased cat who was lying inbetween my husband's legs after his major bladder cancer surgery.  I called upon her to help heal him and when I walked into the room, there was the distinct impression of the cat's body molded into the hospital blankets.  When my husband woke up, he told me that his cat was here with him and told him that he would recuperate (because his cat told him so). Several days later, I told my husband that I had prayed to the cat to protect and heal him. 
I never have seen a spirit in transparent form.  I don't see beams of light, I do see rays of light.  I so see transparent auras, no color in the auras for me. Each individual being has an individual essence and you will perceive that being according to your own esoteric sensitivity.

Spirts do not always materialize, only rarely, and only to those whose 3rd eye is opening and who wish to make contact for a reason, for their learning, for their yearning or desire to know or it is a loved one who needs to make contact to solve the grief stricken.

animals do continue. I used to think their little light merged into their group consciousness but this is not always the case, at least not while we are needing them, for their love. I lost my first pet, a chihuahua in my 20's. I failed to watch him closely and he wandered away. every day I would listen for the sound of him returning through the flaps of the doggy door. no such luck. I grieved to know if he suffered and was it my fault?
one morn while half awake I felt his little legs jumping all over me and I groggily tried to awaken fully, rejoicing I had another chance. He also made the happy sounds of excited breath. He had never sounded so happy, it was excitement for him, his news to me. as I opened my eyes I was disappointed his body was not there. yet I know what I felt and I chose the message he gave to me, his name was Snowball as he was a rare white chihuahua. his message was he was with others where he could run with the big fellows he said. he thought he was big, the others let him show off in love.

I was ok after that. I went to the pound and got another dog. I never found out if Snowball was deceased or just had been taken by another family, but he had heard my call for him and responded in love in his astral body and that was just what I needed so badly.
although spirits do not always appear in form, another way they can come thru is the inner ear..most often to hear a whole sentence, or recieve a strong feeling with a thought from out of the blue is when you are hearing a nonphysical being, and most often it is very subtle and easy to brush off thus.
if a thought comes and you do not know where from, and is unconnected to what you were just thinking, u could be communicating with your guide, or a loved one in your family. just say thank you and remember what they said. the full import will come later. love, alysia

I like the story about your dog  Smiley That must have been a comfort to you. I can do the listening with your "inner ear"thing, and hear all sorts of comments which are like when you talk to yourself in your head, but that don;t come consciously from me. I can also have a dialogue with them inside my head - making my own conscious comments and listening to the response. It is just a certain way that I "tune in" inside my head. But I don;t do it too much because in the past it pretty much aways seemed to be that negative spirit, who I don;t want to encourage. Very occasionally though, I might get a positive comment that pops through my head, without looking for it, while I'm doing something else. So maybe it's like using a ouija board - if you just open up and let anyone talk to you, it might not be a person who is helpful to you, so you should just aim to be as positive and loving as you can be in your life and let positive spirits come along and contact you in their  own time if they want..  Huh

thats right Orlando. one has to be discrimating all the time. once my teenage daughter with her group used the ouiji board as entertainment. soon she was hearing voices whenever she did not use the board as well. this bothered her and she told me about it and I told her how to close down her filters again, that they would go away. they did. just the fact that one is aware of them is what makes them interested in a person.
when you are not interested in them, the filters will close.
attracting a master teacher is not the same as attracting the astral floaters, or as you say the neg that you didn't want.
to attract the master teacher for instance which is also a spirit or guide on a higher level of knowledge than ourself, I would make supplecation for awhile every day to find out if I was ready for that. I didn't think I was. I thought it took much preparation, but really all it takes is reaching the end of your rope.

one day I walked into my kitchen distractedly and heard a voice say "I am with you now." and you can tell when it's a higher entity by their vibes and because I was thinking I would never know when I could be initiated into the higher realms of thought and get out of the rut I was in (like pattern thinking) belief systems which are limited or negative.
some may think they don't need a master teacher to be there. if any have been to the pitts where suicide starts looking good, you DO need the master to appear.

but you know to be discriminating already Orlando, so you're fine.
love, alysia
