I think that is the purpose of being here...to improve the soul...and maybe every single life experience..bad or good adds to that. Read more: theedgeofreality.proboards.com/thread/1418/who-simplistic-solutions-jc?page=90#ixzz5KxOHoGwd_______________ EXCEPT, if this is true, some people either outright don’t care about improving their soul, or are totally oblivious. YOU may feel that YOU are here to improve your soul. I don’t doubt that this is a belief of other people. I think most people, at some point, wonder what their purpose is. Is there a website that has statistics on what people believe that their purpose in life is? Of course, a person could say “anything”, and live their lives in a way that is different than their “supposed” purpose. And, a “purpose” can change.

Please excuse me.
With witnessing on the street, I’m coming across all kinds of beliefs.
Some of them, I have to try and determine if the person is just having “a little fun with me”

I am tired.
I have bits and pieces from the last couple of days that don’t make sense.
Like I had a discussion with a friend, but it was only a DREAMED discussion. 😊
Today I saw someone had written the word “zoso” on the sidewalk (which USED to only mean a led zep album to me). I remember noticing it, but where was I?
I hate this. Having to “figure out” where some of my “memory” is coming from.
Dreaming too much. And prolly why I am NOT already sleeping

Nah..I did not mean that people set out to improve themselves...all you have to do is look around to disprove that or read the news. What I meant was..what ever we experience bad or good adds to the soul experience. If there was not bad how would you value good? If our lives were easy and gentle and kind..that would be 'normal'...we would ever expect that. But if you experience a bad thing..then the good is so much the better. No one ever said it would be easy OR equal. How do you figure those born with beauty and brains AND wealth...vs the very poor and indigent and homely or maimed who struggle so through life? In my world...what that means is that in a different life the soul experienced the other. Understood it, suffered it or reveled in it. There just has to be a balance.. My sleep patterns are so icky right now. It's so humid here that I just can't rest well. And if I don't get my 8 hours I'm almost ill. Wish I could help with your memory thing..but it seems to me that your brain or some part of you is trying to 'see' or remember something

Oh how funny was my horoscope for today considering I've been praying to know my path...
Your soul is maneuvering you on to a new pathway of service. You operate with a new understanding of your contributions as you go within to find your own treasure house of gifts. Even detrimental situations offer soul lessons as you re-examine any projects or goals that may no longer be aligned. Release karmic encrustations to build new supportive structures that can be implemented in your daily life. Ask for guidance if necessary. Self-discipline brings your dreams to fruition; know your value and aim for the highest.

I still want to talk about what “the real man did” last Saturday (while witnessing) that “upset me”.
So, time to go to bed, but reminding myself.....
I have prayed about it for several days. Did discuss it with someone smarter than me (a woman). 😕

I mentioned the above, the “man”, on my “dreaming again” thread. (Sorry about any confusion I might have caused). 😀
We had quite a crowd go out with us to witness about Jesus Christ. 😊
I tried going with a different group of people: for experience and fellowship. Glad that I did.
One of the ladies I walked with did get the pleasure of talking with someone about Christ 🙂.
I did too, and could have “walked a mile” with this person, but they were walking their dog and this would have taken me away from our group. So, to finish, I asked this person if I could pray for them and they said “yes”. 😊
Anyway, it was a good day, as far as that goes.
The man (who I ended up having in a bad dream later) prayed with us before we left to get back in the car.
It was something he said in his prayer that broke my heart so. ☹️

(Had to talk with my mom for a bit 😆) NOT about anything I’m posting on here (of course! 🙃) ********** This “man” ADDED, at the end of his prayer (not word for word), something about “darning*” people that have “heard the Word” and rejected Christ.
Number One: this man, earlier, freely admitted that it took him “several times” to accept the Gospel of Christ.
So, even in general, his prayer statement was out of line. Not just unnecessary!
I got home and searched the BIBLE SCRIPTURES, for anything, anything, about us “darning *” another human. Went through sorrow about it, shock, and right now, just feeling a touch of anger. 😒🙁😞
Not our business. And I gotta let it “go”. It’s also not “my place” to say anything to this man right now.
Been praying for him ever since.
I hear it again..... you better believe I’m going to be talking to an elder of my church about it....
🙂
~sigh~ I’m SO sensitive

In the TEOR realm, I don’t know what I’m on to.
Another “dead scientist”? Years ago. And this “site” giving no connection to our little world here.
I don’t have time these days for my old research. 🙁
So please forgive me for these random posts....

I wish that you could help me also!! I don’t want to “get hypnotized”, so I have to be satisfied by this “slow process”. ☺️ But let’s keep in mind that my recent “denial” of my “role” in all this, and my desire for a somewhat normal life (like having people around me who I KNOW openly care for me), leaves me open for these kind of “dream” attacks.

Did I make sense in the above post? 😁. I don’t trust that HUMANS really care for me.
It’s a FEELING (may not be a true feeling).
I now have an example to give you. 🙁
I am working outside the home (yay!). Of course I am not going to give out any details.
But this is where the “example” is coming from.... a certain person that I will be encountering ..... she doesn’t “bother” me. At this point she seems evenly tempered-also soft spoken. Moves “slow” (not her speech or thinking). I was warned by a co-worker that this person is “toxic”. ?? Have heard this more than once.
The individual we are talking about, reminds me of my mother. 😳🙄
I don’t see people that use “subtle manipulation” as “toxic”. At least when the person is NOT a close family member. 🤣

And when I come back and read my posts lately, I still sound “off” (confused?). ************ Sorry. I’m overly tired (again). That’s my excuse. 😊
I think I’m actually trying to say that my gut instincts are “right on target”.
Just because a person is “used to something”, doesn’t make the situation any less “toxic”.

Headaches. More bruises on arms yesterday.
My head is sore in places, and I haven’t been wearing a ball cap.
Can’t remember my dreams from last two nights....

Toxic? I think that's pretty strong a word. The person is poisonous? Dangerous? Maybe in my entire life I've met one person who might come even close to that. My neighbor who I've been mostly close to for many years is scrambled and chaotic...but toxic? Boy that's harsh a description (to me). What do you expect from people? Maybe you would consider my other neighbor 'toxic' to your ways of belief.. he is a pagan...but so very good hearted to me. We have so much in common for all that he is Pagan and I am Christian. We 'sense' the moods of others the same ways...are effected by them...love animals and nature. I think even my bitter husband I wouldn't consider 'toxic'...just very unlike me. I'm not condemning the use of it...just wondering about your concept of it. The one bad apple spoils the barrel simile? Curious I am.

Thanks Jo.
I didn’t use the concept. A new co-worker did.
And, I totally disagree with this concept. As you do. 😊
So, your answer was the reassurance I needed. 😁
I can’t be making “judgements” of people..... especially when I have barely met them....and I’m not going to listen to other people’s “judgements”. (Even if the person making the “judgement” THINKS that they are warning me, or somehow helping me).
The new job is going fine. 😉

Now, the truth about me. 😉
I NEED prayer. Always do. But especially now.
My leg hurts. My back hurts (no headache today! And I don’t lift at work).
Tired. But I’m not working weekends..... 😊
This is my first full week at work. Welcome to the real world to me!
Except, yesterday was my “long day”. I ran home from work to grab a bite to eat.
My sis has been home all week with my mom and dad- no worries!
But, yesterday, right in the middle of my mom making dinner and my sis on the PC, my dad got out of his chair and fell.
I was here long enough to call emergency services and wait out front for the ambulance, and back to the job on time (no smile; here). I made it through the evening (got a text from my sis how my dad was doing) and came home and went to my room to cry. Couldn’t cry. Couldn’t sleep... took a “shift” through the night watching my dad and checking for signs of concussion.
He’s back home. Sleeping right now. My day is going to be so much longer than it really is.
Prayers, please. 🙂

Very sad.
I didn’t have any time for tv news on Thursday.
I heard about the Duck boats through someone at my job. Was able to go on line about 2:00 pm Friday.....I just can’t imagine someone in Missouri “ignoring” severe thunderstorm warnings. 😩
Thanks for your prayers, Cliff. (And I’m reminded that my “needs” are really small.... and send my prayers up for so many others).
This “weeks” prayer list is huge. Not complaining! Just really being mindful of praying without ceasing.
Talk with someone, turn away to do dishes for 10 minutes; offer that same someone in a plea to God, and be thankful. Move on to next task...... 😊

Bad dreams all night.
I’m putting this on this thread and not my “dream” thread because...... these are very much related to my former husband.
Dreams of being “loved up” and then immediately “left” for the next thing that comes along (whether it be running around with a friend or headed out without me to do whatever). And to the friend, and to me, not very nice things about “women” now coming out of his mouth. This is how it was. And, in real life, he would “bait” me into having arguments.....and then laugh. In the beginning, I laughed with him.
In real life, soon after we were married, this “roller coaster of emotion” made itself present. It didn’t take long for me to figure out that if he didn’t have my full attention, he needed someone else to talk to. I mean, literally, he would be following me around our house talking as I was putting away laundry. The tv was turned on from the moment he got up.
Welllllll, I saw him at my son’s wedding in June. Briefly spoke to him at the rehearsal dinner I had planned the night before the wedding. I talk to his mom (my former mother in law; of course) more than I do him. He was sober, his eyes were clear, but very unsteady on his feet.
Now, since this May, there is a “new family” at my church. I had gone out witnessing with the guy (a husband with 3 kids), before him and I realized we “knew” each other from the teenage years. (He “knew” my former husband and my former husband’s reputation; knew very little about me...) ~ sigh ~ we soon figured out that this man actually was one of my son’s little league coaches. He didn’t know that my formers’ dad was a church minister..... ahhhh. Small world; really.
So, this guy, and his family (now, I presume) know about my “troubled” past. I’m always sure to say “hello”, but we’ve already talked about my “x” too much for my taste. I explained to his wife that I have been divorced over 14 years. The last question the guy asked me, was did I keep in touch with my x. I gave him a firm “no” .
Now, I USED to; because of our kids. My kids are grown. The last time I “talked” with my x, he asked if I would have sex with him. I said no and shut my front door on him. Aren’t I mean??! 🤪
If I have to explain to anyone why we don’t talk, this last event explains it all.
At this point in my life, I have some “fond” and happy memories of my kids dad... from the beginning of our relationship. But I get NEAR the guy, and he turns my stomach (not in a good way). I do feel some compassion for his “condition” these days... it IS very sad. Everyone predicted that he would be dead by now due to his alcoholism. He’s had some close calls in that area.

Friends have reassured me that “my past is in the past”. 😊
I have reassured myself that eventually this guy and his family will quit looking at me “sideways”. 😉. Especially since the husband and I met BEFORE he knew..... but I want you all to remember that my son and his wife also go to our church......
God puts things in our path for a reason. 🤗🙄
I was SURE to ask this guy if he knew that my former husband WAS a “fighter”. Yes. ~ sigh ~ the guy is literally but a shell of his former self.....
Anyway, you all know that I almost remarried, and that probably would have put a stop to my bad dreams. *************
The bad dreams?
How many of you have read Eve Lorgrens “alien bite” or “love bite”? BECAUSE of the history of paranormal events in my life since childhood, I DO wonder about some of her “theories”. 😳
I have explained on TEOR in the past, that my “x” also has quite a bit of PSI. That relationship of near 16 years felt like an awful fate.
Still having dreams about it? Rather weird.

How far ahead does a human with “precog” see ahead?
Maybe someday, after this “skill” is acknowledged, some scientist will study it. 😉 _________________
My sis has pneumonia (again). Actually, she may have damaged her lungs at a job... and we are looking into that.
Being around her in early mornings, and other times, I had no idea how much she “talks to herself”. (Not being critical). It’s hard for me (at first) because I’m trying to be polite and listen to her; just as I do for my mom. Tuning out is hard. (I talk to myself when literally there is no one around... or talk to my dogs.
I’m experiencing a lot of “deja vu” at these times with my sister. 😊
And then last night I heard my mom and my sister talking as they put my dad to bed together; and it reminded me of the times I used to hear “two women talking” and no one was around. 😊
“They” (the voices and my actual family members, now) were not talking TO me. 😯
“Sound” just must be one of my “things”. The other day I heard a man talking rather loud..... I was sitting at a light in my car. I looked around; even checked my radio. No cars near me. I could not determine where the “man” was, and had to give up looking.

Yesterday my bible study group got together, and the wife of the “new family” was there. 🙂. Very nice lady. I didn’t mind at all that she didn’t remember my name..... 😉
Her husband probably hasn’t talked any more to her about “ my x “. (The distant past). 🙃 _______________
Two things that came up yesterday in group - (and NOT by me). Someone brought up “conspiracy theory”, and the word “synchronicity”. Someone even used the word “paranoid”. 😲
Subjects that I can freely talk about. I found myself not adding much to the conversation. 😊

“I Saw A UAP Today”
Broad daylight, and I am “sure of it”. No “Oz factor”. 😊
I have now had very few “actual”, undoubtably, sightings in bright, clear skies. Of this nature. These are hard to remember...
The one I saw, while at work on an elementary playground, was more silver in color, and I noticed “it” because of a glint of sun that shined off of it. That summer day (mid June because I recall it being a “summer school” day) was cloudless. I recall sitting at a school picnic table with a co-worker and some 4th graders; just talking and sitting in partial shade (part of the table had shade). Some of the kids were sitting on the table facing me, and noticed that I “caught my breath” while looking at the sky. It happened so quick. I don’t recall what I said about “catching my breath”, but was able to direct their attention away from me. Trying to think if I mentioned it to my co-worker later (privately).
Another broad daylight sighting, I would have to go back in this thread to be reminded of what THAT one looked like. I know exactly WHERE I was on the road, and that I was in my van, but I had just asked a question of God regarding “UFOs”, looked up at the sky, and got an instant surprise.
I KNOW that I talked about THAT one on here. In the last 2 years, and I recall Posey Gilbert making some comment about the “timing” of this sighting. 🙂. (Why can’t I recall his comment?). Anyway, that “event” should be easy to locate on this thread. 😊
Other daylight sightings that I know I have had, are more unbelievable. There’s either a “weirdness factor”; dream-like quality to it, both during or after, or it’s simply something that has shown up on a “photograph”. (Like at sunset and a glare is not evident).
If you recall, I saw one up close and personal at my school, and it was huge, and resembled a “mustang mach 1” (again, white) without the wheels or wheel wells.... the “Oz factor” was very much involved with THAT one, and I casually just walked back into the school..... this was daylight but after school time....

My feelings about today?
These “type” of sightings are “just for me”. I would have been extremely wary of saying that in the near past.... but some of them... inexplicably feel like this. 😊
Almost like, after the “trauma” of nocturnal visits of last week, that I have been “expecting this”. 😄
How else do I explain the buoyancy of my feelings ?
I also (past two nights) have an “odd” light showing up just SE of me. I believe I have taken a picture of the SE light before (it appears right over a neighbors house) and in the picture it distinctly looks like an “orb” (a round light with detail in it). This “new one”, though, has an orange cast to it. Inner part of this stationary light seems to be moving. Not twinkling like a star. The stationary light to my west, is white, bright, and I’m guessing is a planet (it doesn’t twinkle either). It has moved NW over many nights (not keeping track).
Moon was very bright last night, so I turned off all outdoor lights and thought about getting out the binoculars. Went inside and promptly forgot. 🙄 ___________ My husky has wined during the daytime here inside the house, just this past week. Could be because I’m gone more with a job. But today, after I got home from church, I let him out, and when I let him back in he wined even though I was petting him?
? ___________
I “feel” safe. It’s easy to think THIS, to myself, because I am much more “spiritual” these days.... but it is more.
It’s like, last week was pretty bad. And this week, I’m getting reassured. And I think that I am pretty hard to “reassure” (in these matters?).
I tend to expect “the worst”, and just go with it.
A sighting of a “UAP” feeling GOOD? ??
Sometimes, very rarely, “they” just do.
And it makes me consciously wonder about ...... Guardian Angels

You absolutely have my prayers! And I need some in return. My son who just lost his close brother (my other son) just lost the little Chihuahua they both owned. Some large dog (which no one saw) grabbed little buddy and broke his back.. My son (Bo) called in a frantic panic and my daughter and I rushed him to the vets but..he died. My son is beyond consumed with grief..hasn't come by for his lunch..can't get him on his phone...I could sure use some prayer on his behalf. I am so worried. I can honestly say I have never seen a UAP or UFO ever. Been in one..never seen such . Would like to..I feel sort of left out ....and that sounds so weird.
