Preparedness for when

Nope...not seen that film. Think I might like it..

In my mind the jury is out as to whether time is the linear concept we think, ie first you get 1898, then you get 1899 and so on.

On the other hand, the idea of all time happening at once or having odd timeslips into the future could explain my automatic "Why is this so primitive?" reaction to some things. It's usually when it comes to anything medical and, at that point, it's very frequent for me to be surprised and horrified at just how primitive the procedures/equipment the medics are planning to use are (often provoking a quick "Mygawd..not advanced much since the Crimean war and operations without anaesthetics. NO chance...I'm outa here" and I either ask for something more "modern" than they are planning on using that I know they do have already or just taking off and refusing to have whatever-it-is they were planning on:rotfl:).

The one that astonishes me most out of these procedures is the number of people who have had one of those old-fashioned "things down throat" exploratory procedures even since the modern procedure got invented a few years ago (ie swallowing a very miniature camera that takes photos as it heads "down and out" and transmitting those photos to an outside machine). I'd have the modern one if I had to, but not that old-fashioned "thing down throat" one...no chance (something-oscopy I think...cant remember the name).

Mmm, its both - Newton and Einstein were both right, so were Euclid and Schrodinger :j:j:j

Its always more complicated than we think, and its always simpler :A

I believe in ghosts as well, I have always been "sensitive" since I was a child.

When I was about 8 we lived in london and the girl in the flat below us who was about 14 decide that we would have a laugh with a ouija board.

We had been doing it for a couple of minutes, when the window flew open and there was a huge gust of wind , we all scarpered .
The really scary thing was that it was a bright still and very hot day outside :eek:

When my dad died he came and sat at the foot of my bed, his way of saying goodbye.

I have seen things out of the corner of my eye in this house as well and have felt something behind me and things go missing I just tell my spirit to bring them back and I usually find them the next day.

One night I woke to a distinct punch in the back:eek:

Just before my mother died I planted a passion flower in the garden, the only time it ever bloomed was the summer afterwards, it died after that.

Oooh ghost stories.
When I was a teenager I worked Saturdays in the kind of cheapie everything shop that would now be a pound store. Was rectangular with a divider panel up thru the centre so you had to walk all the way round and couldn't escape the tills. I used to operate the till during breaks etc when regular woman was on lunch. One Saturday an old man with a large dog came to the back of the til asking about where his daughter was. I explained she was out for lunch and thought no more about it til told woman about it later and she went very white. Seems her dad had died the year before the dog a few months earlier! She even brought a photo in of the two of them and they were exactly as I remembered.
Didn't have any spooky feelings though - the shop was too busy.

One thing I've always wondered about time, is this.

Is time like a pre-built road, stretching infinitely into the future, and therefore unchangeable, meaning everything we do, say or think, is how we were destined (from the very beginning of time) to do, say or think it?

Or, is time like wooden flooring, being laid piece by piece, moment by moment, meaning we can choose what we do, say or think, in the same way we can select a different piece of wooden flooring, thereby changing the pattern?

Trying to catch up properly with the thread, been ill from the end of sept till last week with my asthma. Had to do the dash to A&E again for nebuliser and oxygen. Been spaced out on various anti biotics and extra steroids.

Finally starting to feel normal again lol.

Little update on the Icelandic rumblings, the dike intrusion eruption is still ongoing, tho bad weather seems to have taken out the webcams.

There are still many higher magnitude earthquakes all around the caldera itself so things are far from over. Scientists in iceland have been looking at earthquakes from history and reckon there has never been a recorded event where this many high mag earthquakes have been seen together. The lava has been measured as being around 200 degrees hotter than any other eruption seen in iceland suggesting that its coming directly up from the magma-likely from the current hot "plume" sat under Iceland. So no way to predict how long things will continue as they are, if they will advance or even simply fade out.

Loving the spooky stories. When I was younger I often saw things others couldn't see. I recall playing a game with an older man (I now know to be my spirit guide) opening doors in the wall and letting people in to speak to me. But as I got older I started to get scared of seeing and hearing things and also knowing stuff was going to happen before it did. I had a night where I kept getting someone banging on my door waking me up and then in the early hours felt someone sit on the bed, when I looked it was a monk sat there praying so terrified I closed my eyes and said outloud-please go away.

Things seem to quieten after that, but I still sense things and see the odd movement and sometimes will know things before they happen. Reccently had a dream my late gran was sat on our stairs banging the wall to speak to me, she kept saying to see my mum. Weirdly my sister had a simular dream about gran and going to see mum who had died of a heart attack in her dream. Turns out mum had been having shortness of breath and chest pains and was ignoring them, so I guess Gran was trying to tell her to get to the doctors.

Had an incident driving a few years ago, approaching lights to turn right they changed to green, but just before I got there to turn I had a vivid flash of the white car from the opposite direction shooting through the red light and hitting me hard. I stopped dead and the car as predicted shot out and would have hit me for sure.

I also worked for a while as a guide around chingle hall in lancashire and had many experiences-often in a group and in daylight.

One of the weirdest was on a day I was there alone, the family went out and gave me the keys. So I knew when I took a tour inside we were completely alone in the house. I was doing my talk and all was fine till we made our way into the great hall. Suddenly there was a loud thump upstairs above us, we all stood and heard the door of the room above open and heavy footsteps cross the landing and come down the stairs. We all stared at the door at the bottom of the stairway/hall and saw the handle move then stop. Quickly we made our way to the door and opened it, but there was nothing there, just an empty hall.

More things in heaven and earth as they say.

I have it on good authority that time is
"A big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff"

And ghosts/ spirits etc are just a slip in time, where paths have crossed.
