A Strange Feeling as of Late...

reply to post by Caggy


Interesting. Now this has gotten my cogs turning. Caggy, have you ever done any genealogy work to find out the origins of your family? I was lucky enough to have been part of a huge genealogy search a few years back and we traced our roots back to the late 1600's. Apparently there is some royal blood in the family.

Has anybody else worked with genealogy reports before? I'm interested to see the ethnic backgrounds of everybody, because I might be able to start searching for more answers as far as the Western European Heritage thing goes. I just happened to read about that in passing, and I don't know if it holds any clout, but I think it's worth looking at.


Peace be with you.

I have not posted in this thread yet, but have been following it with a lot of interest. It resonates with me. I have had a huge weight lifted from me about 3 weeks ago. Nothing specific - just a general acceptance of how things are and where things are going.

The geneology question - yes, I have done a lot of research and been lucky enough to have a family that documented everything. My ancestors arrived in America in the 1600's too - 3 separate lines arrived from England - the earliest arrived in 1628. I take great comfort in knowing their names and imagining their lives through the decades. One of them is well documented - he came over as an indentured servant from England, and then ended up founding a town in Massachusettes. I even found his will online.

I'm European mutt. 1/2 Bohemian, 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Swedish. I've always identified with my 1/4 Irish...in fact most people can ID me as such.

Welcome! I should clarify: my family did not come to the US until the late 1800's, but we traced them back to the late 1600's Scotland. That is amazing that you could trace your family that far back!

I'm also working on your tarot reading too...I got sidetracked today, and I'll try later on to actually sit down and concentrate for a while and get you a good one.



Peace be with you.

Thank you, TruthSeeker!

I would love to trace it back to England, but it is so hard to figure out where they came from there. I was told to try to find the ships they came on, and look at the manifests, but... that seems like quite a project to try to find!

I'm closer to 30 every day. I'm 27 myself. However, I know for a fact that I have a very old soul. I was reading metaphysics books at the age of 5 and talking to my kindergarten teacher about the concepts....my mother has told me that story about a hundred times over the years. I do think, however, that it has been affecting those in their late 20's all the way through their 40's. I'm glad I learned that early enough to not settle down and start a family. Most of my friends in my age group already have 2 kids. I have none...just a dog, and no significant other. That's the way I like it. The less attachments I have, the easier it will be to do what needs to be done when the time comes for it.

This rang so hard! I turned 31 just a couple of months ago, and I also know for a fact that I have a really old soul. A fortune teller and then a palm reader told me so. I've also read philosophy books since I can remember, and my insight of things has always been just too deep for someone my age; I'm the one my friends look up to when they need advice, or the peacemaker in my family and what not.

ALL of my friends in my age group are also already married with 2.5 kids and a mortgage. Yet for one reason or the other, I've managed to stay single and I know that the main reason is that when the time comes, I'll be able to be more bold and take better decisions.

This is really getting more exciting by the minute!

Good night peeps! Rest well.

My granpa did a little reasearch on his family.... the only certain thing is we come from a gypsy bloodline in the old Yugoslavia, and as gypsys, we don't know where the hell did we come from for real. the only truth is that the records says we settled our base at Bratch in the late 1800 and we are just one big family (every person in this world who haves the same surname as my second one is my relative - we use both father and mother surnames in our names here -)

The other branches, i really don't know... I don't have contact with anyone else (so sad, my family sucks)

As far as heritage goes, my last name comes from Lancashire, England.
I think my ancestors moved from there to Barbados and then to the US.
Just had a look on an ancestry website and there are a lot of us in the US now.
There's 6 of us in England, but 64 with exactly the same name as me registered on Facebook
I have a very long last name which isn't that popular.

Much love...

Hi Everyone

So, I wanted to first comment on the sleeping: Since October I started having real issues with trying to sleep at night. Always having been a morning person it was really causing GREAT stress for me! I would go to bed at 11 and be up at 7 or 8 am.
The change was instantaneous and overwhelming.
I would not go to bed until 3, 4 or even 5 am not getting up til 1,2,3 or even at times 4 pm!

It was AWFUL as I had a job that I had to work many hours and be up and ready by 8, so it was AWFUL!

I have since changed jobs and do not have shifts until 2 or 3, with only one shift at 10am!

So, it is MUCH better!

I am going to sleep at the same times, 2, 3, 4, or on BAD nights 5

I have decided over the last month to stop fighting it and just accept that it is now as it must be. Though it can be lonely

I have had thoughts that perhaps we are transitioning to being able to function well at these hours for some purpose that may come with whatever the "situation" is that will come to pass.

My origins, I know them well too.

My grandfather was first generation from Scotland. There is a town there that our family began ALLAN, he came over in the 30's and fought the war for America.
He settled in Brooklyn N.Y.

My grandmother came over from Ireland, she is a Cudahy, she met my grandfather in the US in N.Y.

My mothers side: My grandmother came over from Greece with my grandfather, they settled in Golden Co.

Otherwise, my friends and I have ben having a rather tough go of it, these past few days.
It seems that the anger that we noted earlier on in the thread with ppl is rearing its ugly head again
Trying to just keep our heads down.

My boss was not happy that I am doing some of these threads and made a strange comment on it, about us all being basement dwellers and anti-social?

It was an odd conversation?
Not even sure how in the world it came about????????


Funny though, I am in a basement when I am on the computer, LOL

Thanks all,
Amy

I agree with TS and think we are from a wide-ish age group, and am not sure how we all fit in to a bloodline. I don't know that that should be a problem, though, as I would like to think that there are some of us from all walks of life, all creeds, all nationalities, being awakened to this thing, whatever it turns out to be. I am English, Dutch, Scottish, and Cherokee by bloodlines, so that makes me a bit of a mutt.

I have continued to experience the initial symptoms that brought me to this thread, and I have begun to sense an inner change in my thought processes. One that makes me less worried about the things that used to bother me, and more accepting of them.. more at peace with them. That is not the norm for me, as I have historically been a worrier. I find that my ability to place my faith in my higher power has gotten much stronger, whereas before it was my desire rather than my ability to do so that was stronger.

TS, just watched Avatar the other day. It spoke to my NA roots, but more than that, it truly spoke to my beliefs that all things are connected and I found myself really responding to that portion of the storytelling. The idea that we could tap into, literally, all of the energies that surround us is one I have long held to be true, but never have I seen it shown that way. I thought it was a truly beautiful thing. Have you seen it yet, and if so, what did you think about it?

I have been traced back to Constantine, Mary Queen of Scots, Queen Elizabeth, and royalty in the Netherlands, as well as other royals. I think a lot of us can, to be honest, if you search far enough. My grandfather's name is actually a denotation of royalty in the Netherlands, being Ver __________ rather than the more common Van ________________. This is what I was told growing up, though since I am not personally from the Netherlands, and neither was my grandfather, I have no way to be sure. Would be nice to have some money or holdings to go along with that, but all was lost in various wars.

The farther back you go, as far as those of us from European descent, I think it will be proven that we are all distantly related. Small area, lots of kids, nothing else to do back then.

This resonated with me, as it is exactly what I have been thinking lately. There is a reason we are not sleeping properly at night and do better at odd hours. Excellent idea Amy!

First of all, it is none of your boss' business what you do in off hours. Second of all, I don't think any of us are "basement dwelling anti-social" people, and the fact that he said that infuriates me for no reason at all. WOW... This is weird. Words don't ever affect me, and now I'm just like steaming angry at this dude. I don't live in a basement, and I'm out on the town at least 3 times a week. Starting Thursdays, my phone rings off the hook from people wanting me to go out with them to various places.

I don't know why I just felt like defending myself from someone who doesn't even mean a crap in my life, but I just did...wow..... Sounds like this guy needs a wake up call.....

Sorry Amy, I just completely got off the handle when I read what your boss said. Losing my composure is not one of my traits, and it's weird that I did.

Well, I guess I just documented abnormal behaviour for all of you to see.


But, it's odd. I can't remember who brought it up, but the anger was not normal for me, and this brings up some more interesting questions. I'm going to go take a chill pill.


Peace be with you.

You know Ceri, I'm not sure how I feel about Avatar. I mean, it's basically "Pocahontas in Space" and the story has been told a million times before. It was a technological masterpiece and was very cool to watch, but I'm just not so sure about it as a whole.

Those of us who are awakened realize that there's some kind of natural energy around us. Those of us who are open to it, can use it. I realize that the movie talks about this exact thing and that we are all connected somehow.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm pretty neutral when it comes to the movie, as I tend to look at movies as entertainment and nothing else...unless you talk about Star Wars, and then that resonates with me so deeply that I cannot even begin to talk about how it makes me feel.

I wish I had more to say about it, but today I'm feeling very "normal"---whatever that may mean.


Peace be with you.

No worries. That just got to me for some reason, and yes, you are right. It was Pocahontas in Space. LOL I just wanted to hear what you thought about it.

I think I mentioned this previously, but I too have recurring dreams of stuff in the sky. I didn't used to have these dreams until a few years ago. Various aircraft and also lights or galaxy-like objects in the sky. They appear sometimes like the stars are moving around and sometimes they form pictures. The galaxy objects are really scary, like I'm afraid they will pull me up into the sky and be sucked into the spiral. I am usually calm when the other stuff happens though, while people around me are panicking.

This is sort of a reply to a couple people here, but I am Irish, German, Polish, and Welsh. I too identify with the Irish and Welsh parts of me, Irish a little more because I look like I am totally native born Irish. The age thing that another poster mentioned, I am 39 and in good physical shape. I am a little shaky mentally and spiritually lately though. It seems that I am awakening (kinda sick of that word, but don't know what else to call it) just in the nick of time. I'm very overwhelmed most of the time. The way I have been coping is by shutting up. I usually talk a lot, but not now. I don't have anyone to talk to about my changing anyway, and everything else seems pointless to me now.

Originally posted by Ellie Sagan I don't have anyone to talk to about my changing anyway, and everything else seems pointless to me now.

You have us! We are all here for you, whether on the board or by u2u. I think many of us would be open to speaking with you as you need.

I hope you don’t mind me joining in on the thread! I have been following this thread and am surprised at how we all seem to have similar ’weird’ stuff going on. I also have been lately feeling very uncomfortable too. Seeing 11 and 34 on clocks often brings me some comfort.

I have been having bad migraines a lot the past two years. The kind that you feel as though you have the flu, you feel the pain everywhere. What is the difference between a migraine and a spiritual migraine?

I, too, have been having a hard time going to sleep at night, I just don’t feel comfortable (it‘s not the house-I have never felt comfortable at night) and am not really tired (but then my nervousness might be a factor in keeping me awake), need to medicate myself in order to relax enough to sleep (I have to be asleep by 3am or I get very paranoid-I have had bad experiences around 3 at times while being awake) but I am very comfortable sleeping in the daytime. I wake up in the morning feeling beat up and needing to go back to bed for more sleep, even if I were able to get 8 or more hours of sleep the night before.

I often see spots on the sides of my vision but they are usually quick bursts of colored lights.

My dreams seem to be so real lately. I love dreaming, they seem so much more real, comfortable, and happy than waking life. Meeting different ‘types’ of humans/humanoids in my dreams are the best part. I will think back to them during the day and remind myself that it was part of my dream, not an actual event. Shopping malls and fancy apartment type buildings with pools for some weird reason are the setting for most of my dreams.

I have noticed that my hearing has, for some odd reason, greatly improved. I cant handle listening to a lot of noise, music (even though I was brought up on heavy metal in the 80’s), even the TV annoys my ears. People talking loudly makes me cringe in pain.

I feel as though I am a different person that I was even a couple of years ago. I don’t know what has changed. Life just seems to feel so different.

None of this is happening by chance, my friends.
All of my senses have increased greatly....I have seen the 'flash' of colors in my vision more frequently, almost like witnessing a glitch in the matrix so to speak.
I've been having some very intense experiences lately.
Dreams have been very different, as well...

For years I have been on a journey of truth, and a mission to help others find their own personal truths...
From all that I have experienced and researched, NONE of this is happening 'just because'.... the old paradigm we know of is falling apart, and we're entering a new phase for humanity.

Many people will discredit this, but it's right in front of our faces.

Be thankful to be alive in this moment in history...we're all in this together; we are all one, despite what you may want to think.
The power of the stars lie within ourselves...

I believe there are different 'frequency' levels that people are entering.
Many are on the lower vibrational level, and cling to the ego and materialistic possessions...while others are rising above that and seeing things as they really are.
Thanks to the internet, knowledge is spreading faster than ever imagined...each day.

It's beautiful. Life is a trip...I hope you're all ready for the ride!
