THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD 👽✨🔮🌙

[veronika23]

I’ve wanted to start this for so long but never got around to it. Back in the day I think I had a similar thread and I wanted to bring it back.

Do you love anything out of the norm: the strange, the unusual, and the mysterious? Anything relating to the supernatural, the paranormal and mystical? Then this thread is for you! A place to discuss anything and everything about the unknown, the occult, legends and theories… anything goes!

It's not a general audience kind of book but you might really like Patricia Walsh's Understanding Karmic Complexes also. The case studies are really excellent even for people who aren't super into astrology.

@veronika23 My son doesn’t remember anymore, but he used to tell me all about his past lives when he was very little. He would tell me stories about how he died, and he also told me that this was going to be his last life, and that he chose me to be his last mommy. I asked him at the time if I was his favourite mommy, and he wouldn’t answer me!

[jozkid]

Omg what a trippy thing for him to say @Beadshopgirl  Did anything he say resonate with you?

[Beadshopgirl]

@jozkid Not at all; it felt like he was talking about a stranger. It was certainly creepy having a 3 year old describe the gruesome ways in which he’d died though. 

[veronika23]

Cool @Beadshopgirl! It is very true that we choose our parents. Eeeeppp maybe you shouldn't have asked him that 😉 :D. You could have been his mom in a past life as well. We have this soul family that travels with us... usually different people around you in different life times. Like in one life time he's your son but in another he was your friend. Do you know what I mean?

[Fernleaf]

@veronika23 @Beadshopgirl I absolutely LOVE this story and it's so cool that he chose you.  I wonder if later on in life if you ask him that question if he'll remember..  That would be magnificent! 

Question for you ladies - I was born into a family with two covert narcissistic people - my sister (the middle one - I'm the oldest of 3 girls) and the other one is my mother.  Your story made me think that we chose who our mother is.  Why and what made me chose a covert malignant narcissistic mother, who has it out to destroy me and has sabotaged my life since I was a baby?  I wonder if that means I was a terrible person in my past lives - If so, that would suck! lmao  

I'm also an empath, so I can feel what other ppl feel and feel it myself.  It's so weird.  People tell me that I'm one of the sweetest/non-judgmental person they've met and my luck in life is beyond terrible.  They tell me they don't understand how I keep getting 'sh*t on' in life.  It's been a rough life.  People I don't even know come up to me and tell me that they feel more comfortable talking with me than anyone they've ever met.  Then they tell me their life story or what they're going through.  I'm not very good at helping people I feel bc I listen and don't have much advice to give.

@FernleafUnfortunately I can relate... I've ended up thinking of it as needing to hone a particular skill or check off the last few spots on a bingo card, rather than "getting what I deserve/earn". 

I'm all for the idea of choosing and learning lessons, but in the hands of some those explanations sometimes tread too closely to sugarcoated victim-blaming and I have ZERO time for that.

[pixiedust2]

@fieldsofclover I love this analogy! Checking off the last spots on a Bingo card!! I will never forget this. This is exactly how I feel about my life. I believe in reincarnation and while I don’t know all the answers, far from it, I feel like certain people are in my life and certain events have happened just because I needed to have that experience. Like somehow it will bring it full circle in the end. Thanks for this post!

[fieldsofclover]

@pixiedust2 You're welcome love 😘 To me there's no shame in the idea that maybe sometimes we've just been saving the "best" (worst!) for a point in time when we're better equipped to handle it.

[veronika23]

@Fernleaf  Among other things I'm also an empath so I totally understand you on that! My luck is also terrible and often wonder what the hell I did to deserve this crap. I so feel you on that. I get sh!t on all the time and all I want is a break for once... (and be careful what you wish for because I said those words a few years back and... you guessed it! I broke my ankle.). And yeah same as you... people usually just come up to me and start talking about personal things. I don't always have much advice to give either but I think it's just having that person that can listen to them. And I like being there for people. I often wish I could take away their pain... something I know too well and don't want anyone to feel that way.

I have no idea why you chose that mother but apparently we do choose our parents... It's based on the lessons we need to learn in this life time. Whatever we decided we wanted to learn before coming here.  Although I don't have the same situation as you I often ask myself the same questions and wonder if we do truly choose all these things and what the point is. It's always "why" with me... I'm someone who doesn't stop asking questions so this gets to be very frustrating 😄

[Fernleaf]

@veronika23  I love being there for people and I want to take their pain away as well.  I treat others how I want to be treated, since that's how this world should work - but doesn't. 😞  That's neat I am able to relate!  I've felt pretty alone with being an empath, since I don't know many others.  I feel you on that with being there to listen to them.  I love hearing other peoples stories and it's crazy how some people tell me things they haven't told anyone else - I'm sure this happens to you as well.  Thank you for responding.  It is comforting to know that I'm not alone.  I just want that 'break(I'm sorry to hear you broke your ankle. I broke mine too sliding into homeplate.)/moment where things just fit and work and things go right.. just once.. have a time of peace and solidarity.'  

I wonder if this is my first time being in the 'human form', which is why I didn't chose very well. -__-  I don't understand how all this 'evil/bad' stuff happens to me - What lessons am I supposed to learn?  Am I too supposed to turn into them and perhaps then life with just 'work' or rise above them and keep living a tough life?  I don't understand what I'm supposed to learn from all this hardship - It drives me crazy with all the gaslighting and all from the narcissists in my life and I'm like a narcissist magnet.  😞

It is always 'why me?' with me as well.  I too ask a lot of questions - I was told that those that ask a lot of questions are very intelligent.  I want to learn everything there is to learn out there.. at least try. 

[veronika23]

@Fernleaf   yeah I try my best to treat others the way I want to be treated too... sadly yes that's not how the world works 😞 and I have a hard time with inauthentic/fake people. It's just stronger than me... I can usually see right through them... like this girl in high school my friends were friends with. I just couldn't with her... there was just something... I don't know if you know what I mean by that. It's hard to explain as well. It's nice to know I'm not alone either. I'm not one to say stuff like this because I'd rather keep it all private but I want you to know that you are definitely not alone in everything you are feeling. It's really hard to understand if you're not an empath and if you aren't dealing with all these issues. Yeah just that one moment where it goes right... I'd give up everything I have just to have that. I'm sorry you broke your ankle too 😞

I know it's not my first time and know full well what I am capable of too so while I can totally relate to everything you are saying I'm asking the same questions. I know it feels like you're tapped and there's no way out. I'm sorry you have to live through that. No one should. Maybe you are supposed to change them? But really how do you change people like that. I had one in my life and cut her out. She's family too (not immediate family). Maybe we both need to find answers this year 😄

Well I'd rather ask a lot of questions than being a sheep.  I've always questioned everything, especially "authority" since a young age. I'm not one to just take it if I don't agree with it... and doesn't mean because someone is in a position of power that they know it all...

You can always pm me about anything too.  🙂

[Beadshopgirl]

That totally makes sense @veronika23! There are several people in my life who I feel I’ve known before. 

[veronika23]

@Beadshopgirl  me too! Even people you just like right from the start. Or in some cases people you just hate for no reason... they could have done something to you in a previous life and that's why you dislike them in the here and now but you have no clue why you do hate them you know.

[fieldsofclover]

That was exactly the book I was reminded of too! It's such a great read.

[Beadshopgirl]

My grandfather used to visit me all the time in dreams from the time he died when I was 12, then a few years later I had a dream where he told me he was being reincarnated, so we wouldn’t see each other again, and the dreams stopped. But the night before my sister’s wedding in 2000, I had another dream with him, and he told me that he had died, and decided to stay with me.  Our dream visits have continued since then, and he has been looking out for me ever since.  He was the sweetest, most loving person in life, and continues to be that way in spirit.

I love your story and your picture, @Beadshopgirl!   This is really sweet and must be comforting to you!💗💗💗

[veronika23]

I love this story @Beadshopgirl! Made my cry. I never met my mother's father but I know he's with me.

[mermadelove]

@Beadshopgirl  Thia is the sweetest story ever. My heart just melted slowly into love reading that! <3<3 < 3

[ZombieMetroAnt]

O! M! G!  this picture is so sweet & tender   thank you so very much for sharing with us @Beadshopgirl  

[jozkid]

@Beadshopgirl That must be so comforting for you. What a lovely feeling to know that someone is looking out for you. 

My husband actually proposed to me on the second anniversary of my father’s death. He didn’t know that of course, but I sometimes think my dad had a hand in that. I know my father wanted me to have someone to love and take care of me
