Spiritual Moments?

[Theland]

Atheist, Theist or Agnostic, whatever you are, have you ever had what could only be described as a, "Spiritual Moment?"
Not a question to criticise, just very curious, as I have come across people who would appear not to believe in anything, but often have a story to tell.

Theland...walking barefoot on grass is known as earthing. I happened to see an article about it just the other day...meant to read it, now can't find it.
This explains it though...

I've had weird deja vu feelings a few times, especially more so recently. As you might expect, I'm sceptical of even my own experiences, but once or twice they've been fairly strong.

Jim - I used to experience deja Vu once or twice a year for many years, but now 67 and not done so for about ten years, (I think).

Ayahuasca experience in Ecuador with a Quechua shaman who had grown up in a traditional life in the jungle before bringing his family to the fringes of town. Learnt some deep stuff about myself. Next day I had an amazing connection with my wife who was thousands of miles away in Australia.

While preparing for our wedding, one night we decided to ask an old friend to be MC . It was too late to phone him so my wife rang him the next day. He told her he was expecting the call and already knew what she was going to say.

He spoke of dream about standing in front of people talking about us. He had also dreamed about my wife's departed father and brother and how her dad had said he approved of the marriage. My wife's brother had said to tell me that if I felt someone grab me on the shoulder one day while I was having a beer, not to worry, it would just be him saying hello.

The night before our wedding, sitting on the verandah having a drink with guests, I felt what I thought was my wife grabbing me on the shoulder to get my attention. I looked around but nobody was there and I decided something had fallen off the shelf above me and thought nothing of it.

The MC repeated the story to the guests at the wedding. I had been so busy in preparations I had forgotten about it until then.

The day after the wedding, sitting quietly alone after I had finished cleaning up the reception venue I thought the MC and I should go to my wife's brother's old pub and buy three beers. Then it suddenly dawned on me that it had already happened.

When I got home I realised I had taken down the shelf a few months before.

Really?

Your posting history on here suggests the exact opposite!!

Aged sixteen I had been keeping a diary. One night I felt like I wanted to write but didn't want to turn on the light so I wrote a page in the dark.

Next morning I looked at what I had written. Two adjacent lines that had converged in one place stood out. One line included the word "their" and the other "the".

The matching letters in these two words written in cursive were precisely on top of each other. I mean absolutely precisely from beginning to end, they were utterly indistinguishable and not even slightly thicker than any other part of the writing.

What would be the odds? It was like the two pieces of writing were somehow Quantum Entangled.

Does Chris Martin know you are pinching his syntax??

Did Chris say that too?

BTW We have something else in common. We both ride unicycles.
