None of what you’ve said is extraneous or spacey. Everything is an absolute treasure. You clearly have so much wisdom and insight into stuff I’m completely new at, that I consider it a blessing and a wish fulfilled to have you share with all of us here, things you already know.

Yes, I too feel that many at LL are old souls, and it is obvious to me that you belong to that group.

I wanted to share something with you so I really hope you come back to read my post –

After reading your post I was freshly armed with info so that this morning when I had another one of my dreams I was able to recognize the Higher Self of my TF (twin flame) in my dream. My real life TF, that is. I still need to analyze our charts fully to confirm this astrologically. But in real life I already know this intuitively about him, regardless of what astrology eventually proves. Anyway, so my TF’s Higher Self presented me with a message for my TF. No words were exchanged, I was just shown something and I understood. I feel that I was chosen to convey this message so that my TF would heed the information in the message. It has to do with something my TF has been avoiding doing (for himself). When I last brought up the matter in a conversation a couple of months ago, my TF was evasive and I dropped it, ‘cause there’s no point pressuring him to do something he’s not ready to do even if it’s for his own good.

Well, this morning I told my TF about the dream, and I’m pretty sure it’s had the desired impact, i.e., he’ll now do what he’s been avoiding, because he does take my intuition and dreams seriously.

So in a sense, and I don’t mean to disrespect any Higher Self by saying this (I have too much reverence to disrespect something like this), having a Higher Self, is kinda like having your own Genie. Through your Genie you can accomplish something you wouldn’t be able to otherwise. Seems to be like a good incentive for everyone to connect with their Higher Self.

"In the life between life regression books, it is said the soul tends to take on the form of a past life it is particularly proud of or identifies more with.”

I had a complete AHAAAA moment when I read this!! I’ll try to explain why. This was an idea I was going to post in this thread except that I was hesitating. I thought everyone would consider it too far out and also I had nothing to back it up except my own very strong intuition.

You see, after my dream about iQ, I had already considered the possibility that I picked up his sage energy because he is carrying it with him in this incarnation too!!! Based on what you said above, I now think that it is entirely possible that even during a 3D incarnation, a person can carry some part of the energy of a past life he/she is most “proud of or identifies more with”.

Another example of this is with my TF and myself. In the Heiros Gamos thread – http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum28/HTML/000972.html -

Ceri and Taineberry helped me discover astrologically, the past life/lives that my TF and I shared in Atlantis, most likely as High Priest and Priestess with him carrying the male energy and me the female energy.

Here’s what I said on that thread a couple of months ago –

quote:

---

Ceridwen, you did such a fantastic job of Atlantis analysis that here again I almost gasped when I read about him possibly being a high Priest and us moving around in those circles.

Here's why-I think by now you both sort of have an idea that I can sense people's energies. Pretty accurately too, I might add Well, so you can imagine that Mr. Pisces moon is pretty much an open book to me (as I am to him too I guess, courtesy his own strong Neptune).

So-in my conversations with him, from very early on I've told him on several occasions that I pick up an energy of him being a priest or a monk. I've told him that this energy is not of a modern day priest, but of one from a much older time period-kinda like the movie "The name of the Rose." This is the exact example I gave him!

And he in turn, has very often said to me that he feels that I could very easily be a nun!

With your analysis of Atlantis in our charts, I now feel that perhaps we both carry some of that energy from a past life, and that we can "see/feel" it in each other, whereas no one else would even dream of associating us with a priest or nun.

---

Anyway, just wondering what you and others think about this thought.

"You may have known him in that life. Being a soulmate his energy will be familiar regardless (he has a ton so don't get too attached ;p.”

Lol, Thanks. I won’t, because I don’t do attachment, not even with my TF. And he and I have talked about this at length. I believe attachment comes from a fear of loss, and true love is selfless with no place for fear. Otherwise there is no freedom in love. And love is supposed to be freeing instead of binding.

“also as we get old you know everyone and you become close to many [some paramahansa yogananda book])".

By “old” did you mean soul-wise, because that’s how I took it. An old soul would “know” many, having lived for so long.

“The very fact that you're on this forum leads me to suspect some form of karma brought you here, though that may not be the case. I myself know I have known at least 5 people on this site in past lives.”

Yes, I think I know at least a couple more members that I feel I may have past life connections with. There may be more.

“To be completely frank, when I met Iq I got this nebulous venus sq neptune vibe idolizing him as a person but knowing nothing could come of it. I don't keep in touch with him because he's very busy and it doesn't feel right. I did have a spirit try to tell me that he was someone I was already friends with (my sister also showed up as a parallel incarnation in my life as well.. apparently we're normally married o.O). Sometimes it seems like almost everyone I meet is a soulmate.. the familiarity and the soulmate love popping up in our auras. Being 3.2 billion years old will prolly do that to you ;p (lucid dream and clairaudience).”

Thank you for sharing this and wow, you really are an old soul then lol.

“I think the only thing that can measure soul age is perhaps soul leaning and wisdom. Being very spiritual.”

Ain’t that the truth!!! Amen to that!

even at the risk of you not reading this, I found your post very interesting.

"When people astral project, the soul of the individual speaks with the projector separate of any body conscious awareness. One could be reading a book while the soul was having a side conversation with a projector completely uninterrupted"
Yes, that is how I experienced it.
It`s great to hear it from another one as well, so it seems to be a confirmation of my feeling/ hunch, especially since we didn`t have contact before.

"My understanding is all the dimensions exist in the palm of your hand and you simultaneously exist in all of them, you're just attuned to the 3rd, and when your third eye opens up you can see into others.. "
I think so, too. And sometimes I sort of "wake up" to a different dimension, not always in dreams.
Sometimes I actually feel as if I (my consciousness) is walking in on a conversation my Higher Self has with me (while I wasn`T conscious about it before).
It can be quite exhilerating at times.

This is amazing, Ceri. Dare I ask you to speak a bit more about it, perhaps by explaining as best as you can, a particular experience?

posted June 17, 2012 11:05 AM            

For example, a dialogue like this:

Me: You got to help me. I can`t figure out what the truth is, what I really feel.

HS: Oh but you know.

Me: Not at all. Maybe I should check the charts, tarot? Would that help?

HS: You don`t need any of this to tell you something you already know.

Me: I don`t.

HS: You do. You`ve known it all along. You just don`t want to acknowledge it, because you currently don`t know what to do with that information.

Me: Yes, what am I to do with that piece of the puzzle? What use is knowing if I don´t know how on earth deal with it, how to incorporate it into my life, what to do with it?

HS: Don`t bother about this. Everything will fall into place, when the time is right.
No ommitting steps, going all the way, step by step, remember?

Just one of the many conversations that has been going on in my mind. I am stubborn. Yet, usually I know that inner voice (no matter if it is really my Higher Self, a guiding voice, or something else) is pretty much right, even though sometimes it ****** me off cause it doesn`t fit into how I`d like to have things, nicely put away in categories.

We are talking a lot about feelings. It`s a major area of work for me, I guess.

posted June 17, 2012 11:14 AM            

Maybe it came from a subconscious or supraconscious place, I don`t know. But it was an interesting experience (and not for the first time).

This is the piece:

"
The antiscia are mirrordegrees, shadows or reflection.
A planet on 7° Sagittarius casts a shadow onto 23° Capricorn and 23° Cancer and is thus reflected by those degrees, or rather planets that are on these degrees.
It works like a complimentary connection.

You know Sagittarius likes to walk or hurry through life with his heads in the clouds, joking here and there and taking life the easy way (not ALL Sag`s are like this, of course); he`s the traveller, the gambler, who doesn`T take things to serious. He sais: why worry about tomorrow? Live today instead.

But underneath this sunny exterior, there is a shadow, and that shadow is reflected through his Antiscion and Contrascion.
Does Capricorn shows him how to make more out of his dreams, to transform dreams into goals? Does he show Mr Lucky how to get the work done?
Or does Cancer show him how important it is to have a home he can return to? What sense is in travelling when you have nowhere to return to?
Does he maybe show Mr Take-it-easy, that there are people he has responsibility for, people who care for him and who needs to be cared for?

In this way those mirrordegrees reflect our Mr Sag; the result is a mysterious pull towards the other planet`s person. An attraction that sais: "You`Re so different from me. I don`t really understand you. But something just resonates strongly within me and I just HAVE to get close to you."

It`s not like the opposition. You know with the opposition I see two magnets that are magnetized to each other, and there is a great spark and tension between them.
With the antiscion / contrascion it`s like we are all kinda jigsawpieces with irregular ends, and Miss Cancer, just fits to Mr Sag`s puzzle.

The opposition to me seems to be a horizontal connection, a straight line, a magnetism, horizontal.
The antiscion / contrascion is a connection from surface to underneath, it`s kinda vertical.

Am I still making sense to you?

Some astrologers even believe that the antiscion-degrees are the real important missing piece to find your Twinsoul. (I personally think there could be truth in it, but there are so many perspectives you can look from).

But what I know is that these connections are really strong and hypnotic, more hypnotic than magnetic probably.

Just think of it:

Aries - Libra: Virgo and Pisces
Taurus - Scorpio: Leo and Aquarius
Gemini - Sagittarius: Cancer and Capricorn

Unlike with the opposition, here is always a connection between a female and a male sign. All elements are included in such a sequence. IT just lookes so WHOLE. COMPLETE

If I have Moon on 28° Sagittarius and someone else has Sun on 2° Capricorn, we would still consider those two planets conjunct (4° orb), but since 0° Capricorn is a "mirror-axis", it also means that the MOon is 2° in front of this mirror and Sun is 2° behind this mirror. And everytime two planets are equidistant from our mirror, they are said to be in antiscion.
So, we would have an aspect (conjunction) and the connection over antiscion.

Actually this guy I`ve been talking about has his Venus in the antiscion of my Mars.
Seems I tapped into my very own forcefield.
His Venus is in Capricorn and my Mars is in Sagittarius.

My longest crush (the gay musical actor) has his Neptune in Scorpio in the EXACT antiscion of my Moon in Aquarius(Neptune rules his ASC and Moon rules my 8th house).
I can tell you TALES about THAT forcefield. Nebulous, dreamy, unreal, surreal, all very Neptunian.

It`s intersting, when we actually coincidentally met, and that whole thing started to solve itself (FINALLY), Transit Neptune was exactly conjunct my Moon and in the antiscion of his Neptune (his Neptune also is in the antiscion of his SN, which conjuncts my Moon exactly, so I guess it was a real OLD tale).

He actually completed me or my Moon in a way. And that is really interesting now. To me at least.
My Aquarius Moon is so intellectual, and before him I have never neve never had an infatuation about actor or anyone else; I was just standing above those things. I detested jealousy and posessiveness. Passion? Not real, just a figment of imagination. NOt being able to let go of a person, to be dependent? Weakness of an overemotional soul. Yes, I was convinced you can switch off and on your emotions, if you just try hard enough. Besides who needs such a dirty emotional mess in their lives, when they can have airy thoughts? (Aquarius - Moon, what shall I say?)

And then, he came on the stage of my life, with his Neptune in Scorpio in my 11th house.
Neptune - Sure he was a GAY MUSICAL ACTOR. How can you describe NEptune better (he could have been a drug addict, too, actually I met those too in that period)?
He drew my Moon, my emotions into his forcefield; well, drew, pulled, hypnotized me into it, fits it rather. Actually when it all started I had a dream I have never forgotten. And in that dream I had been pulled into a painting. REally pulled into it. And at once point in the dream I was walking on water, but then I remembered that I can`t swim, and I started drowning and that man told me that I drowned because I didn`t have faith. And then he disappeared.
But back to reality his Neptune in SCORPIO led me to experience all that I had suppressed, because my intellectual Aquarius-mind didn`t want to acknowledge it. And I experienced it all, the passion, the dependency, the emotional ups and downs, the obsession, the jealousy, the pain, the ultimate loss, the need to let go and surrender, I think I learned devotion, that I am NOT on a higher point as a mere observant. I am deeply involved in it all.

Funny enough when I noticed him Transit Pluto was exactly square my Moon and roughly conjunct his Neptune and opposite his Moon (seems he has had an exhausting period, too).

I think that is how it worked. I had to integrate him, or rather the part he symbolized, the part of my soul I had pushed away, and now I had to reintegrate this part. IT is a step on the way to wholeness.
And we humans learn that by meeting people, on which we can project all that is hidden and suppressed; they make us aware of it, so we can reintegrate it and finally return home into our own soul.

JEsus, what is wrong with me today? I`m writing and haven`t got the single idea what is writing me.

HOwever, I think this is how antiscion work, on a deeply spiritual, yet very real and physical level."

"Sounds a bit bipolar, but it actually is not."

Oh I don't think so at all. You have a pretty high degree of sensitivity and awareness.

"I am stubborn."

Lol, yes, I get that you can be sometimes. Reason seems to appeal to you more than emotions, at least on the surface. Underneath though, I think you have a tremendous amount of emotion which you don't like to give into too much. Which is why the emotions tend to stay underneath more, I think.

"... even though sometimes it ****** me off cause it doesn`t fit into how I`d like to have things, nicely put away in categories."

Yep, that's the human 3D part of us which likes to have everything neatly labeled and categorized.

"We are talking a lot about feelings. It`s a major area of work for me, I guess.

I think this is an area of work for us all. I find emotions can actually often be misleading. I think they're a gateway to understanding ourselves but too much emphasis on them can really get us stuck in the "me," "I," and "ego" zone.

It's important to be able to step back from emotions, sometimes even work through them using our reason, to get to a point of being able to put them aside, in order to get a clearer perspective.

Most people have to fight ego related emotions to get an understanding of higher spiritual truths. You have the advantage, broadly speaking (I think), of starting from the place of spiritual truth. Working in the other direction, you'll need to incorporate more emotion for greater overall balance.

But the thing is, you already have tremendous emotion. So I think what's needed is an allowing and acceptance (by you) of their importance in your journey toward wholeness.

Again, since reason is your big ally, my personal opinion is that working in the direction you need to take (from spiritual truth to emotion) is easier than the direction that most others have to take (from emotion to spiritual truth). I could be wrong about this of course, but the reason I think this is the case is because most of our internal struggles and battles take place in the realm of emotions.

"You have a pretty high degree of sensitivity and awareness."
Thanks. Also it feels so natural to me and I never really think about it much, as i have been "talking to myself" and having these conversations inside my head, since I was a kid.
It was just how I was and still am.

"Reason seems to appeal to you more than emotions, at least on the surface. "
Yes, the reason for this is in what you described in the next parts.
But I really really value emotions very highly.

"Underneath though, I think you have a tremendous amount of emotion which you don't like to give into too much. Which is why the emotions tend to stay underneath more, I think."
Yes. Astute observation.
Inside I am capable of pretty kathartic emotional turmoils. They may not translate into actions, but it doesn`t mean that they leave their mark.

"I think they're a gateway to understanding ourselves but too much emphasis on them can really get us stuck in the "me," "I," and "ego" zone."
Yes, that is why I sometimes do not trust them as much.
On an emotional level it may all feel true and real and so on, but only time will tell if it was really true or just getting stuck in the ego-zone, as you put it.

Also I never know how long emotions last. Well the word for "movement" is contained in the word "emotion", and that might be a key here, they are constantly changing.
It`s a bit scary for me.

"You have the advantage, broadly speaking (I think), of starting from the place of spiritual truth."
It`s sweet of you to say this, but I don`t know how much spiritual truth I really have. I am doing my best, sure, and it seems that I could trust myself a bit more in this regard, as recent events show, but I am still just finding my way as everybody else.

"Working in the other direction, you'll need to incorporate more emotion for greater overall balance."
I think I need to incorporate more EXPRESSION of emotion. The emotions are right there, what I lack, is expression and trust.

"But the thing is, you already have tremendous emotion. So I think what's needed is an allowing and acceptance (by you) of their importance in your journey toward wholeness."
That`s what my Higher Self keeps telling me as well. You are a very good observer.

Linda Jones,

Let me begin by first giving you a (((bear hug))) .

And then I want to say that for the last several weeks (maybe a month - conservative time estimate), I've felt a shift in your thoughts - towards being more expressive - from your posts in different threads.

And each time I've noticed it, it's made me smile. I think you're doing well. In the beginning you may have to do it consciously but as you get used to it, it'll feel like the most natural thing in the world.

"But I really really value emotions very highly."

Yes I know. And this is good as emotions are an essential part of you. They deserve their place of importance. Moreover, they are a key to unlocking a lot of the spiritual growth potential that exists in each one of us.

"Yes, that is why I sometimes do not trust them as much.
On an emotional level it may all feel true and real and so on, but only time will tell if it was really true or just getting stuck in the ego-zone, as you put it."

I think the caution you are expressing here is toward letting your feelings get all wrapped up in ego. This is a sure sign of your excellent intentions and it is going to serve you well. Because as you continue to embrace your emotional self more freely, you will at the same time, be weeding out the egoistic feelings (and those, as you already know, cause the most suffering). The end result will be a well balanced, disciplined approach and handling of your emotions. I don't think one could ask for a better result really.

"Well the word for "movement" is contained in the word "emotion", and that might be a key here, they are constantly changing. "

This is beautiful!!! I hadn't realized it, that "motion" is contained in "emotion," so thank you. Also it is soooo true. They seem to be in constant flux, which is why it's good to understand them in order get a better handle on them.

For example, I've gotten to the point where I know my base level emotional make-up. It's where I stay at an even keel for the most part while feeling inspired at the same time. From this place I move up or down depending on what I'm facing in the outer world. But because I know my "middle line" so well, I tend to not get too bothered when I realize I've moved away from it. And I try and keep my focus on returning to that middle line as that is where I function most productively from.

"It`s a bit scary for me."

Yes, because of the shifting nature of emotions. But as I said above, once you find your center line, you'll feel more comfortable disregarding the emotions that are too far away from this center (in either direction, high or low). And in doing so, you will take care of most of the ego type of feelings as those generally exist in this high or low level.

Hope I'm making sense

She just told me that she ACTUALLY is expecting and due in october. So I basically had the dream around or a bit after her conception.

Just proves to me that I really need to put more stock into my hunches and dreams.

This is certainly an example, yes, of the need to trust your intuition more. I think of intuition as being separate from emotions. I feel intuition comes from a place of greater clarity of thought. In order to get to that place, one has to be able to bypass emotions and definitely have a firm grip on one's ego. Lacking this, I don't think it is possible to easily get to a point of clear thought.

With your level of spiritual sensitivity, and intelligence in reasoning ability, it is much easier for you to get to that place where creativity and inspired thought abound. Intuition springing from this place can definitely be trusted.

I don't think I could do without trusting my intuition as I rely on it so heavily in my daily life. And when I have dreams about others and specific situations in their life, I totally trust the message I'm getting in the dream.

I had to do the saggie thing and camp or my sun woulda disowned me..

It's funny, reading you guys' posts I got the strong feeling of deja vuz. A few days ago while I was out camping, I got this strange feeling that I was re-living a past life that had already happened. It's times like that that make me wonder if we're really just stuck in a matrix or the time loop paradox that was a secret project of the CIA..

I am kinda ignorant too. I wouldn't say I'm wise or anything.. I haven't met myself yet and you guys have a lot of wisdom I don't.

"Lol, Thanks. I won’t, because I don’t do attachment, not even with my TF. And he and I have talked about this at length. I believe attachment comes from a fear of loss, and true love is selfless with no place for fear. Otherwise there is no freedom in love. And love is supposed to be freeing instead of binding.

I completely agree.. Love is god.. being the magnetizing force of the universe bringing us back to unity.. while fear and attachment are polarizing and destructive (all emotions coming from love or fear more or less and having an integrative or disintegrative effect on both the brain and soul). I tend to buy into the idea that your mind is the projector of your reality, thoughts creating reality or karma (literally action) that will be stored in your causal body until their time and place and they are realized and released as you are here playing god in this game. Thus being why it's a good idea to be detached and not desire and just sit back and watch the play of your life.. thoughts again the byproduct of fear and attachment. Loving being more "being" if you will and when exercised perfectly (love) you're completely reabsorbed back into the absolute we fell from when we desired knowledge and experience. Also, the christian ideal of kenosis where you become a divine vehicle of god's will etc. No self (No desire ftw imho karmically..) The no mind school of nyingma (dzogchen) being espoused as the highest teaching within tibetan buddhism, and no attachments being the key to happiness.

To quote from Anthony DeMello's the way to love.. it's long winded but I couldn't shorten it easily and wanted to throw it in here

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. -Mark 10:25"

What can one do to attain happiness? There is nothing you or anyone else can do. Why? For the simple reason that you are already happy right now. So how can you acquire what you already have? If that is so, why do you not experience this happiness of your mind and the happiness that has always been yours will instantly surface. How does one drop unhappiness? Find out what is causing it and look at the cause unflinchingly. It will automatically drop.

Now if you look carefully, you will see that there is one thing and only one thing that causes unhappiness. The name of that thing is Attachment. What is an attachment? An emotional state of clinging caused by the belief that without some particular thing or some person you cannot be happy. This emotional state of clinging is composed of two elements, one positive and the other negative. The positive element is the flash of pleasure and excitement, the thrill that you experience when you get what you are attached to. The negative element is the sense of threat and tension that always accompanies the attachment. Think of someone gobbling up food in a concentration camp; with one hand he brings the food to his mouth, with the other he protects it from neighbors who will grab it from him the moment he lowers his guard. There you have the perfect image of the attached person. So an attachment by its very nature makes you vulnerable to emotional turmoil and is always threatening to shatter your peace. So how can you expect an attached person to enter that ocean of happiness called the kingdom of God? As well expect a camel to pass through the eye of a needle!

Now the tragedy of an attachment is that if its object is not attained it causes unhappiness. But if it is attained, it does not cause happiness--it merely causes a flash of pleasure followed by weariness; and it is always accompanied, of course, by the anxiety that you may lose the object of your attachment. You will say, "Can't I keep just one attachment?" Of course. You can keep as many as you want. But for each attachment you pay a price in lost happiness. Think of this: The nature of attachments is such, that even if you satisfy many of them in the course of a single day, the one attachment that was not satisfied will prey upon your mind and make you unhappy. There is no way to win the battle of attachments. As well search for water without wetness as for an attachment without unhappiness. No one has ever lived who has come up with a forumula for keeping the objects of one's attachments without struggle, anxiety, fear and, sooner or later defeat."

Also makes me think of the 13th century Christian Meister Eckhart..
(usually i am more into hinduism.. these christian discourses were eloquent in describing something that's already a part of buddhim/hinduism)

The most powerful prayer, one well nigh omnipotent, and the worthiest work of all is the outcome of a quiet mind. The quieter the mind, the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is. To the quiet mind all things are possible. What is a quiet mind? A quiet mind is one which nothing weighs on, nothing worries, which, free from ties and from all self-seeking, is wholly merged into the will of God and dead to its own. Such a one can do no deed, however small, that is not clothed with something of God's power and authority. It behooves us to pray hard so that all our mortal members with their powers-eyes, ears, heart, mouth, and all their senses-are turned in that direction, and we must never stop until we find ourselves on the point of union with him we have in mind and are praying to, namely god.

JEsus, what is wrong with me today? I`m writing and haven`t got the single idea what is writing me.

Reading this after quoting Meister Eckhart made me laugh. Kundalini creativity I find works best when you detach and think of yourself more as channeling god. That in truth you didn't write any of it.. you just allowed it. Kinda like how artists are always their best when they let go of their ego, before they get a big name or any pressure and just release (kinda like the biblical holy ghost etc).

By “old” did you mean soul-wise, because that’s how I took it. An old soul would “know” many, having lived for so long.

Yes.

Thank you for sharing this and wow, you really are an old soul then lol.

Actually, I don't think I am that incredibly old. You have to think gods live millions of years like it's nothing. Also, thinking about how old the sun/earth is etc. Terra is a bit older than I am

Ceri, sometimes I feel like if I knew everything I would jack up the timeline. Like I have to feign ignorance and panic on cue at certain points to play this part I designed for myself a long time ago, when in the back of my head I know it's all fine and I've never truly been out of line or place..

About the tf/heiros gamos/priest etc thing

I never got much into twin flames or souls. Something about my venus in cappy and aqua mars likes control and independence and my bipolar soulmate was already too intense.

I've had very similar experiences to the heiros gamos, just with soulmates during telepathic/astral sex (they initiated). Complete mental/empathic connection and was probably the best experience of my life. Long story.. but that was with my soulmate husband.

Something tried to say someone was my twin flame but while I've been married to him in past lives, he didn't feel that important compared to his best friend, although it was obvious he had a thing for me.

Yeah I could totally see that about you being a preistess or nun. I do think we give off past life vibes, and I've gotten them off others to a degree, particularly in the context of our relationship.

Can you tell I'm thrilled to see you here again????

LOVE your post again! Thanks for the info on attachment. It should benefit a lot of people (besides me) interested in this topic. In general, I think there's something about the pure truth in eastern thought, especially Hinduism and Buddhism that just cannot be refuted.

At the moment I can only think of a couple of things to say -

"I've had very similar experiences to the heiros gamos, just with soulmates during telepathic/astral sex (they initiated). Complete mental/empathic connection and was probably the best experience of my life. Long story.. but that was with my soulmate husband."

This is just WOW! Amazing stuff!! Feel free to share the long story ... if you feel comfortable, that is.

"I do think we give off past life vibes, and I've gotten them off others to a degree, particularly in the context of our relationship."

THANK YOU for this very important confirmation!! I've wondered about it for so long in my relationship!! As it is easier to sense this within relationships, then I guess iQ is right about the rarity of sensing someone I've never met, since I was able to sense his sage energy. I'm now convinced he carries this in him even in this life!! Good to know I wasn't intuitively off about this conclusion.

Hey Ceri!! Ya hear this? I was on to something in our HG thread!!
