THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

Iโ€™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 theoriesโ€ฆ anything goes!

Oh. I don't know who that is @melanito. I have to look him up now. ๐Ÿ˜„

Oh I miss the old Doreen. She is so gifted and helped so many connect with angels. I did a old meditation from my Hay House account yesterday ..it was so powerful. She will always hold a special place in my heart. It really was such a shocking overnight change. I haven't checked to see what she's up to in past year. If her old You Tube video is up where she announced it ...it's worth watching..someone reposted it after she took it down. It's definitely a spiritual lesson for those that followed her or studied with her...like on reflecting on what you believe in when a teacher condemns their former teachings . I'm sure she's on a heavy duty spiritual path to be a renowned teacher that changes paths completely. Like it must be so hard for her having former fans, students, colleagues etc attack her and express guilt for what she did...like justifying it to her new crowd. Hay House must have had an awkward time too as she helped grow their company. I think she said near death experience videos on YouTube were a factor...like that people were in a dark place and called on different beings and only Jesus came. She also talked about the new Jesus she met not being teddy bear jesus she knew in past but was Jesus of strict beliefs ...can't remember description...but for me was red flag for connecting with a spiritual guide. In my experience guides are loving and kind. I feel much compassion for her for how difficult her path over past while must have been...doesn't seem like you'd be feeling comfortable in your own skin.. changing your beliefs, how you dress, and feeling judged and justifying why you taught or did what you did. I think it would have been better if she didn't do it so publicly continuing to post YouTube videos while figuring things out, removing old videos etc...she should have just retired. Hopefully she's in a more peaceful place now

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

@veronika23  and I agree sheโ€™s become dishonest. I think she hooked up with a true con artist  in her new partner and he is exploiting her every weakness and wrapping it in fundamentalist Christianity. I have nothing against peopleโ€™s faithsโ€” until they start to demonize their fellow human beings. My belief system does not tell anyone to go kill anyone else, or that they are evil or will rot in hell if they are not exactly like me. I firmly believe this: GOD ( Source, Goddess, The Universe or by any other name) IS LOVE. Anything else is politics and power trips. Period. 

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

@mermadelove  well said! That's exactly how I feel.

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

@veronika23 OMG this has been coming up so much again lately. The made her grand announcement about 1 1/2 years ago and the stories keep getting bigger, weirder and shadier. As some of you may know, I studied EXTENSIVELY with her in her early days. But the last two times I did a class with her things started to feel off, and her books went from treasure troves to feeling like she was doing it for the money. I know that part of it had to do with her divorce from Steven Farmer ( long story) and I do feel like this most recent chapter smacks of someone who may literally be in the throes of hormone induced schizophrenia.  Hear me out here: there is a lot of new research and anecdotal evidence to support late onset schizophrenia in women specifically once change of life happens. You donโ€™t hane to believe me at all, but itโ€™s worth doing research. Doreen has been an incredibly authentic, vulnerable, gifted, successful, sensitive teacher. She also has had a history of bad relationships. She is also human. Iโ€™ve been angry, frustrated, shocked, embittered and disappointed by what Iโ€™ve seen as really unfair actions by her to her students past, present, and future to be honest. But Iโ€™m the end I recognize that just like everyone else sje is a soul having a human experience to learn certain lessons. In each life cycle ( or just this one of you donโ€™t believe in reincarnation) your lessons are your lessons the entire time you are in that body. You are either learning your lessons or teaching them. Often both at once. They come around repeatedly throughout your lifecycle to give you opportunities to fine tune your own learning, clean up anything you may have swept under the rug, or share your hard won wisdom with others. 

I feel Doreen clearly has unfinished business she is working on, in full view of the world like so many of the brightest souls. I sent a lot of love, forgiveness, gratitude and support her way last night because to me she REALLY REALLY REALLY CLEARLY needs help as she has moved from the path of all love to darkest darkest fear. But it took me almost two years to get to that forgiveness. Two years. So I hear your anger. I see it. I understand it. 

A psychology today article that outlined the hormone theory of midlife schizophrenia in women ( and why itโ€™s been largely ignored) gave me a physical body manifestation for what was potentially up with Doreenโ€™s spirit. ( apologies for any typos. On the couch today. ๐Ÿค•)

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

@mermadelove  ohhhhh I don't remember you talking about studying with her. You might have told me but you know my memory... I forget things. ๐Ÿ˜„

 

I understand where you are coming from... this is the first I've heard of it so it was shocking to me. But when I started reading her a-z list I was like woh something is really off... It felt dishonest and really like she was gaslighting people. So it made me extremely angry.

 

On another note, wish my lessons were over... I'm ready for the next life. ๐Ÿ˜„

 

Oh no!!! I hope you feel better soon!!!! ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค

THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

I'll share a little story that even after all of these years, I haven't been able to find an explanation for. I wouldn't say I'm superstitious or anything but I also wouldn't say I'm a nonbeliever. My mother passed away a little over six years ago. It wasn't unexpected, per say, due to the fact she was terminally ill for nearly the entirety of my life. We were on our way to go tend to our daily lives, her going to the hospital and me going to school, when we had a drastic change of events and I ended up calling 911 because she nearly collapsed and became unresponsive. Not the point of the story. By 8 am, I had to make the decision for the doctors and aids to stop trying to bring her back. Then I continued on with my day- I went to school, I got my hair cut and then i ran some errands. I didn't really have any family in the city, my brother was the first one who boarded a plane and he wasn't expected to touch down until midnight so I kept busy until one of my close friends would be done her school day to keep me company. When she was finally free, we went back to my place and ordered Chinese food and turned on the Victoria's secret fashion show. In my living room, the only source of light we had was a floor lamp (and the tv and computers). One of the ones with three bulbs, each of which had it's own knobs to turn on or off. We had that on, given the fact it was about 8 PM in December. We started talking about what just had happened and at that given time, all three bulbs slowly dimmed out so we were left in the glow of the tv. We looked at each other and just laughed, all we could think of to do. The lights stayed off for the rest of the night. We didn't get up, we just stayed where we were and I ended up grabbing a blanket from the back of the couch. We got back from the airport around 12:30 with my brother. We parked and as I was getting out, I asked her if she saw what I saw. The lamp was on, lighting the entire living room window. ps. I knew it wasn't to do with a breaker, the TV was plugged into the same outlet.

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

@Nickelliebear1 I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Sending good thoughts your way!

 

Best,
Rebecca 

@veronika23 ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–, thanks love. It didn't really have much...

@veronika23 ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–, thanks love. It didn't really have much of an impact on my mood. I spent most of the day so mad I was shaking, my family sucks, but in that moment I was almost completely numb to it all.

Re: @veronika23 ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–, thanks love. It didn't really have much...

Awww sorry to hear that @Nickelliebear1 ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

@Nickelliebear1  sorry to hear about your mother's passing. ๐Ÿ–ค  So you weren't freaked out... you felt more calm... like love maybe?

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

creepiest thing happened last night - I don't know if you guys get the feeling that you are not alone? I was studying in my study room when I legit felt someones hand on my right shoulder. I turned around thinking it was my husband who was trying to scare me but to my surprise there was no-one in sight (the husband was in the kitchen) I was so incredibly creeped out that I started chanting prayers.   I just have a feeling that some entity was present for sure. I can't even begin to tell you guys how real it felt ..still creeped out by it! 

 

 

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

@kromance A few weeks ago I woke up,in the middle of the night because I felt someone grab my left ankle and lovingly give it a squeeze. At first I thought it was my husband because he often does that when he comes to bed as he sleeps on the โ€œ far โ€œ side of the bed from our bedroom entrance. But when I fully woke up I could hear him practicing his viola in his office. It was then Inrealized that I had woken up thinking of my cousin Steve who passed in June of 2017. He was a brother to me and I still is him every day. I think it was him saying hi. So I wasnโ€™t creeped out. Ghosts and spirits who are โ€œstuckโ€ in a place after a bad end creep me out, but not visitors. 

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

@mermadelove,

My grandfather passed when I was in middle school and my aunt told me that he came to her one night and touched her toes. That freaked me out and to this day I make sure that I sleep with my feet covered at all times! 

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

@ZakiyaBT itโ€™s just them saying hi!

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

@ZakiyaBT I do the same thing! I also don't let my hands dangle off the bed. 

 

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

@RebeccaBT Same! I pretty much cover my entire body.

Re: THE OTHERWORLDLY THREAD ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

@ZakiyaBT You can never be too safe ๐Ÿ™‚
