A thought just came into my mind, swish.... It's "as if" Tom has won the lottery and now all these far flung distant relatives are coming forward to share in the wealth, us. He smiles as he watches all of us diving in with life guard in place to make sure no one gets hurt, or to try to ensure a safe place for us to play at the least. Pretty generous if you ask me, the entire situation.
Love
Bette

You got your point Bette. We are One and we are supposed to share. Give money, give love. So if anybody wins the Lotto, don't forget us.

wow, I had to sit back and think for a moment after reading Tom's first post.

I've resentfully excelled at connecting to my higher consciousness system. (not really sure what to call it) And I've developed some interesting skills. I am able to sense the nature of people's relationship. Like I can sense who loves who and how much and even more interestingly I can sense what kind of relationship is best for two particular people. I'm a match maker, I can literally tell if you and another person are soul mates or not (well I have to admit I haven't properly defined soul mates so there is still some room for error and refinement)

Every once in a wile, without effort, I'll get a sense of the affections of some people have directed to others is presented to me. The profound thing is that when considering what Tom said, it probably means my higher consciousness decided to tell me these things. Though, I am faced with figuring out what exactly my higher self was trying to tell me; where he/I am trying to guide me?

For example, I had a thing for this one guy and one day I got such a heavy sense of his being. stronger than anything I've sensed before. What it told me is that we could make grand friends, we connect, but there was something that kept us separated. Its like we didn't fit. I could feel that in spite of our similarities, there was just something that didn't meld right, and I knew it meant that we weren't right for each other "that way."

I'm really just stunned at how everything just fell into place for me a moment ago.

Hi 2822,
I just reread this entire thread and found it very useful so thank you for bringing it up.

You say things fell into place recently. Was it, could it be described as a cascade of puzzle pieces falling into place opening your big picture? This is how it feels to me when that happens.
Love
Bette

it was more like the last piece was put in and now I can see the picture. I've had an inkling of these things before, but it wasnt till now that I saw the hole picture and understood how profound it was.

2822

Really, the last piece, how's the view?
Love
Bette

2822

2822 this is a lovely thought and I am not belittling it in my intent here, ever. Love is mutually exclusive to fear. Love is another one of those terms that has developed so many PMR based meanings as to be useless. Even the Greeks took it to 4-6 (I think) "types" of love. So, while your thought is full of meaningful awe to you that I recognize; love is mutually exclusive to being frightened to me, although several aspects of all the various contexts attached to the term 'love' in general could be viewed as being exciting, and all are fun, to me. There is a term I love to use and to talk about this love that consciousness is evolving towards, and that is EVOLOVE, feel free to discuss this more.
Love
Bette

2822, I am doing an informal poll and your screenname is gender-ambiguous. But from this post, may we deduce that you are female?

Is this an age/sex/location (a/s/l) check? Yeah, singles chat! :)

43/f/here, now

Something about that NSFW acronym made me start wondering how many of us around here are female.

Big surprise that Montana is a boy! I've been thinking of him as a her this whole time :)

Does anything change in your perception of Montana now? If yes, what is it? Just nosy.
Love
Bette

Yes, he's nowhere near as pretty now!

He seems pretty pretty to me, shiny even. Jeez Lynda, where's the love. ;) Perhaps his beauty may be truer to you now that he is more real to you, shiny is shiny whether from an innie (female) or an outtie (male). I still think you're very near pretty Montana. ;)
Love
Bette
