I am new (posting not reading) and feel urged to post this. Yesterday I woke up, not from a dream, but more of a thought, awareness, knowing - not sure what to call it.
The thought was that many of us here (collectively, not just the forum) are reincarnated from the Pandemic of 1918. And there's a reason and a purpose.
Altho I have meditated on it, I was unable to come up with any explanations just the thought. Hoping that someone else, more intuitive than I, can or perhaps has already.
Thoughts? Thank you.
Welcome to the forum Daadamo! This is an interesting question.
Past-life/reincarnation fascinates many here on the forum so I am sure you are likely to get some thoughtful responses. While I will enjoy reading what others have to say the subject, it is not normally a topic I have much knowledge in or strong views about. Thanks for posting the question, I look forward to hearing others thoughts on the subject.
I have little doubt there is some sort of collective purpose for this pandemic I do think we needed to go through it as a collective, not just in isolated regions on our globe. The purpose may unfold over time. It seems to be moving us forward to some higher purpose(s).
Welcome!
I am fascinated by your "knowing" and feel it is just as deeply an intuitive thought as any dream or meditation. I would think it is very possible that many people in our current time are reincarnated from the 1918 pandemic or even prior plagues, etc.
I don't have much experience with the idea of reincarnation, but have reading up on it lately and my attention has been drawn to it. It is a really interesting topic and there are others who have commented with their experiences and thoughts in our Afterlife thread (@natalie @moonbeam @coyote @dannyboy @bluebelle @luminous - I am sure there are others.)
I agree with @lovendures that the current pandemic definitely has some sort of purpose for us collectively and that it is helping to move us forward towards a higher awareness/purpose.
Thank you for your replies. Yes, I do know it to be true. However, I love explanations, lol, and am constantly seeking answers, for the "why now?", and what should we be doing to prevent this from happening again. So basically if we reincarnated at this time for a specific purpose related to the pandemic, what lessons are we learning? what actions should we take? or are we just glutton's for punishment?
And on a different note, I have loved reading this forum and know that it kept me sane during the presidency of the other guy. It's not always easy to find others of like minds, and that kept me coming back to the forum.
Thanks everyone.
Okay, this is going to seem really weird, but I want to share.
Ever since I was a young child, I've always had weird dreams about levitation, and recently I had another.
In my dream, like the ones from when I was a child, I am in some random place with other people there, and people are walking and going about their business as usual. But instead of walking like everyone else, I instead begin to levitate and float several inches off the ground beneath my feet. As this happens, I am then able to float and walk as though I am walking on air.
Each time I do this in my dreams, it feels like the most natural thing in the world - like an ability we each all have and possess but no longer use. Several times I have woken up from these dreams, including now, where I feel like i could do this right now. Obviously, I couldn't if I tried, but it's that feeling like it is there to be used and unlocked - a mixture of state of mind, will, but also an absolute sense of knowing and belief that we can do this - that every one of us has this ability.
Your dream reminded me of a very similar dream I used to have (and I am sitting here thinking...is this a dream or a *memory* I have? It was that natural and clear a feeling.) I used to dream regularly that I could, as you said, levitate somehow and YES - it was the most natural feeling in the world! I totally agree with how you described it. Other people around, going about their business, but I would be able to levitate. So interesting!
I used to have those when I was younger. I felt it was out of body projection. I would float through the bedroom wall, or float on my back up in the clouds.
@luminous @cc21 @elaineG. I love your dreams about levitation and walking above the ground! I have a wonderful recurring dream that I am flying and people are on the ground and acting like there is nothing special but I find that I can flap my arms and go as high as I want. I love especially the feeling that I just have to flap my arms vigorously enough, and, Whoopi, I go higher. It is a glorious feeling.
I see it as a dream about the power of the mind to go wherever we want and even attain whatever level of power, effect we want. For me it's about inspiration.
@jeanne-mayell I used to have a lot of dreams about flying. Occasionally I will have one about levitation, and like @elaineg, have attributed those to a partial "out of body" experience.
My theory about flying, floating, gliding dreams is that they come from the memories of us being spirits- before we were born. That could explain why these dreams feel so natural, and seem to be universal.
