I had never put these together here on the forum all together, but it has been a strange day so...
The first big memory:
When I was perhaps five years old, I was standing on the sidewalk behind our house near where it turned to go down to the “burning pit” that used to be where an out-house once stood. My dad was up in a mulberry tree near the edge of the yard by the creek-bank doing some pruning. The grass had been freshly cut and I was standing there remembering all of the souls that I had been with not too long ago. It was the first time that I really felt “stuck” in this body. I was thinking about this and was wondering why I was in this particular body.
I do not recall which came first, my thoughts about my soul in this body or my wondering about the grass that had recently been cut into pieces and wondered about the damage to it (pain, the wrongness of the cutting, etc.). I then went to where Dad was working and asked him about something that was important to me, but cannot recall what it was other than related to what was going through my mind. His “adult” response did not address my question as I recall and felt left to learn the answer on my own.
My feeling was that up until that point that the soul could go into and out of bodies easily. I also have the memory of being with, and seeing, other souls without bodies; I recall rounded rectangular shaped bubbles for some reason.
My second memory:
When I was maybe five to seven years old I recalled a sky with two suns in it. The one on the right was a little lower than the other one, and they were almost the same size and brightness. I was near the fence at the north edge of our property and the sun at that time reminded me of this memory. I later told my parents, or my mother and sister, who told me that that could “not be”.
My Third Experience:
As perhaps everyone has had, I have had experiences where I have done strange things. I recall having a car-full of kids my age (15-17) while approaching a hard-right turn on a two-lane road where vegetation obscured the view completely. For some reason I braked hard and started blowing my horn BEFORE I saw an oncoming car rounding the bend in my lane. My guide has protected me for a long time!
My fourth memory:
In 1964, when married and living near to Dayton Ohio, I was taking pictures of my children in their Easter outfits. I was taking my daughter Terri Lyn’s picture near the door to the kitchen when I saw her as if seeing her for the first time even though she was about three years old. This puzzled me for quite some time until later while reading about how souls usually travel together with other souls in groups. This understanding covered me with a warmth of understanding that gave me a very peaceful feeling.
My fifth experience:
About 1967, I was walking to my pickup truck to go to work (I was a union ironworker at the time) when I had some very strong feelings. My pickup was parked in the driveway in front of my house; I suddenly “knew” that there was a bomb in/on my truck. It made no sense to me, but the feeling was strong and would not lessen with reason. I searched under the hood, inside the cab, under the dash, and inside the gas filler tube. After cautiously starting it and driving to work in Dayton, I learned that the assistant-business agent’s car was blown up with a bomb that morning at about that time.
Although this experience was different it evoked strong feelings that were not understood at that time.
As most everyone has had, I have had instances when I knew things like the next card that would be dealt and things like that, but that is not what I’m talking about exactly. This is about actions that affect everything else in the universe.
My sixth experience:
Another “unexplainable” thing occurred while working on a building in Hamilton Ohio. While I was eating lunch in the parking lot, I noticed a young lady that worked in the building embracing and kissing a young man, I had no idea who the man was or their relationship. Later when I was in the office where she worked and in front of several of her co-workers, I blurted out that “Someone was watching you kiss that fellow in the parking lot”. I wondered to myself who I was talking about and why I would say such a thing. It was like I was playing a game; not sure if it was “sport” or caused by something more.
She would ask questions and answers would come out of my mouth. “What did he look like?” – “I don’t know; he was in a car” – “What color was the car?” – “Green” (I was imaging a friend’s car) – “What kind of car?” – “Small; maybe a Volkswagen”. It appeared that my answers fit her reality and shook her deeply. Very strange experience! It seems that this might be a case of her guide using me to get her attention.
My seventh experience:
In the fall of 1975, I had an encounter with a highly intelligent and stout feminist that included a "happening". I was aware of doing something with complete knowledge even though it came from a “different lifetime”.
I had absolutely no idea about what I was doing yet knew exactly what I was doing at the same time!
Number 8 - Hearing my guide’s voice:
A few years ago, probably 2010, I was driving on a four-lane divided highway approaching an overpass while in the left lane going about seventy-five miles an hour passing some trucks, when a voice that was OUTSIDE of me, at about my left shoulder, said “It will happen so fast” and then “You won’t be able to do anything about it”. It was a male voice that was neither really familiar nor unfamiliar when recalling it.
Note: my DSI modified van has very quick steering; a half turn of the small steering wheel goes to both extents of the steering mechanism. I immediately started working my way across traffic to the right lane where I slowed to 60 – 65 miles an hour. I have no idea why I moved my hand from the steering wheel, but I did; I bumped it and the van lurched left. I grabbed the wheel and over corrected to the right, then over corrected to the left, and the fishtail grew until I did a 270 degree clockwise spin and crossed two empty entry-lanes from another road and ended up off the road about fifty feet and facing the highway.
I had bent two rims as they encountered the ground rising just beyond the berm of the highway, but other than the mud that seemed to have to attached itself to a lot of places under the van and the loss of a hubcap, I was all right. I returned later with my son-in-law who retrieved the hubcap for me.
I had always believed that everyone had guides that were always with us, so although the “voice” very much got my attention, I knew who it was. The American Indians hold this belief/knowledge, so it should be familiar to everyone in America who has read much about these beliefs.
Memories through meditation May-June 2019:
I had asked for a ‘peaceful’ memory of a past life and was shown two partially moving pictures. I saw myself leaning against a door-frame between two rooms, feeling unsteady, with a thin boy standing before me that appeared to be about eight years old. I saw this from a position of about six feet behind and a little above. I seemed to have a dark funky blob on my head as though it was a hat of some kind, but the next image revealed that it was my hair and that I was a woman.
This second image included the feelings of love and pride that I had in this young man that felt was my son. I was lying on my back in bed and he was at my physical left side, and I was smiling at him with a great feeling of love. I believe that it was another lifetime with Terri. It is difficult to imagine my being a female, which was why I could not understand the dark blob on my head – a bun of some kind since I had it while in the bed scene also.
A month later I had an ‘opening’ into seeing on the other-side that was full of souls, presumably all trying to communicate with me, jostling around that looked like fluffy tennis-balls in all colors that were packed fairly tightly yet in motion. I experienced meeting God and Jesus, and had some things explained to me.
Last happening
While at a doctor's office, I knew that death was near a relative of his and prescribed Soul Survivor to him. I don't know the result.
Other Early knowings
It seems that I’ve always known that people of an early age knew how to levitate big stones using sound.
I cannot remember the first time that I was conscious of that, but I was young. I recently did a computer search about that and found an article describing some Buddhists doing it. I seem to have also always known two Biblical related items, 1) that Jesus was not born in December, 2) that Saul/Paul used an hallucinogen (which I think was common) while traveling on the road to Damascus.
To answer the OP, I think it was to prepare me for the life I was to lead and support me as I lived it.
