The Waiting Game: Do You Feel It?

reply to post by linSing

I was staring at the blue sky, white clouds and 'charged' air (where I watched the tiny particles dancing) and I suddenly grew tense, waiting for a rip to appear in the air that would shimmer and shine, then open to reveal the real world on the other side of that sky.

Funny you should use this as an example.....I know for me personally I am most at peace when outdoors, feeling the sun on my face, looking up at the sky, listening to the wind rustle through the trees to the sound of distant wind chimes. It is the feeling of peace and beauty that I most relate to as a longing for a desire to live in that moment of bliss and harmony.

The only thing I am missing in my life that has been taken from me is someone close to be by my side to share again in that experience......I hope to find that again in my life before "it" comes, whatever "it" ends up being.

I guess I am coming a bit late to this party, I don't post much on ATS, but I just wanted to thank all of you for this great thread. It has given me a lot to think about. Like many of you, I am an introvert with a lifelong love of learning. I go about my daily life, going to work, buying stuff, paying my taxes, and yet, in the back of my mind, I am always watching, waiting, I think that it is some kind of knowledge, that I wait for. I think that it is an interesting time that we live in, many cultures see this generation as a shift to a "new age" in some way. The next Mayan long count, the age of aquarius, etc. I wonder though, whether this change will be some single shocking event in the future, or whether it is has already been happening slowly, leading up to something, maybe since many of us in our 40's or 50's were children, and that some people are sensing this more than others.

In dont want to repeat things that other "smylers" have said. But as someone who,s been on this site for a while now, i can say with complete conviction, that this thread is HIGHLY unusual in fact i would say its is blessed. Even the skeptics have behaved themself quite well. Its created a very beautiful thing ( i know, cheesy) but true. We need to keep this thread alive. I l be happy to post so it doesnt die.

I just do not want it to be over. It almost seems like this was Camelot or Atlantis in a place of chaos and it is about to fall. I just wish people could all take the message to heart and treat people with kindness.

Sled735 recently created a post and it had this link in to a quote by Scribe611

ats link

Sorry for the recent absence... been under the weather for a few days. I also apologize to Sled, Alfred, and everyone else who wants to read what I channeled December 5, 2008. This is the first part, which began as sort of a rambling essay inspired by a documentary I'd watched about the slaughter of the buffalo and its impact on Native Americans:

"You want to grind me under your feet like you ground the bones of my sacred buffalo. You would strip me of my land as you stripped buffalo hides from still-quivering carcasses. You will not stop until I and all native peoples are scattered to the four winds, as the now dry plains dust scatters in your presence. You do not understand. I am as eternal as the blue skies over your head. I am never-ending as the sunshine which beats down on you and threatens to burn you alive. I shall remain, as steadfast as the rains that pour down and wash away your wooden buildings. Long after you and your children and your children’s children have left this earth, I will remain. My spirit is part of this land. As it lives, so I live. The land will survive all your attempts to subdue it, and I will survive. I am not my body; my body is my home in this life. You may put me in your little wooden homes, but I am always at home in my own body. When I leave this home, I will return to the Sky People until such time comes for you to learn from your mistakes. When you have ruined your lakes, your skies, and laid the land desolate, I and the rest of the Sky People will come back to teach you a new way to live… teach you how to live in harmony with each other, and in harmony with yourself. This last one is the most important, for if you offer others a polluted soul, you in turn have polluted each other. Purge the toxic mind, and you may offer each other and the world a soul free of your destruction."

The other part came minutes after this one... I barely had time to catch my breath (I'd never channeled before and always thought it was too weird, even for me!):

"Let the learning begin – those ready to hear, let them open their minds to receive knowledge unguessed at by even the most imaginative of your philosophers. The channels are opening between the worlds, the gates are beginning to swing wide. The mystics, poets, dreamers and philosophers unite – you will be the ones to bear witness to these all-important first changes. Others will not see at first; you must help open their resistant eyes. They fear what they do not understand, as is the way of man, but you must make them see. The time is coming for the veil to fall away, and the unprepared among you will suffer greatly. Each of you has been chosen for this purpose. Persecuted in the beginning, you will be the ones they turn to as confusion invades their complacent minds. They will do rash things out of fear; you must help them deal with what they have learned. Come together now, reach out to each other, and strengthen yourselves for the coming times. You will rely on each other and what you will be shown over the next days, weeks, and years to keep your wits about you when the first wave approaches. You who have been chosen will be the stabilizers in a terror-filled world. You must show them, through your actions and reactions to the events to come, that all is not lost...This is to be published. You must find each other, you who have been chosen… we must lead by example. Many have been called – do you hear? Will you answer?"

I just felt that was too important and beautiful to not add to this thread.

I've been lurking ATS for years, since around 2005 or 06. In that time, I have never seen a thread that hit me closer to home than this one did. I know it's an older thread, but I feel like I 'have' to contribute my feelings here.

My wife and I have felt exactly as Smyle describes since we can both remember. When we started dating, our feelings were simply validated when we revealed them to one another. It was great. That's sort of what I feel this thread has become-- a virtual, semi-anonymous relationship in which we can validate our feelings of misfitting in this world.

My wife and I both feel like we are living in a video game; how at any second we could just put our hand through a door and see that it was just a hologram. It feels like those around us are just drones, going about their lives. We have very few friends, really just 2 that we see almost daily. All other personalities we mesh well with are found online. We've had plenty of great friends online. It seems that without the need for a physical presence, your true personality can show through online. In all honesty, it feels like the Internet is more real than "real life."

Finally, it does feel like we don't belong on this planet; like we were destined to do something great and that something great is always just around the corner, eternally out of reach. This next part may seem horrible, but it is really how I feel. I feel like I am constantly waiting for a disaster to happen so I can find my purpose here and actually feel alive.

Someone earlier in this thread mentioned that they know what their job is on earth. They said that it was to accumulate knowledge and really just become a living hard drive filled with information. I also feel the same. I'm always reading non-fiction, always in the process of learning as much as possible about every subject I can get my mind around. I can never pick a career path and stick to it. My wife is the same.

My hopes were brought to a head last year in December when the whole Mayan prophecy business was the "in" thing. I never really believed it out loud, but inside I was voraciously longing for something to occur. My wife and I were not meant for this time period, or maybe even this world. Even as I type this she is nodding in agreement with everything I've typed so far. Thanks for the opportunity to share our experiences.

Your post almost put me to tears....Today I was very depressed and I just realized that I had to do something but I had no idea what. I also feel like I am always in a movie because nothing seems real except for one thing.

Just waiting for some mystical director to yell cut? I know the feeling...

Do you feel like your wife is the only thing that is real? To me the only thing that is real is one very special person except he lives in England..

I feel like she is the "realest" person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Although I can't say she is the only person I feel is real. For me, it seems like in order for me to perceive you as real, something has to happen that forces us to work through hardship to "survive." My two close friends and my wife have all been through some very tough (relative, of course) things here in "the D." It seems that those situations are what brought us together and made us open up to each other.

A great example of this, and one reason why I adore zombie films, is when you see a group of people who normally would not say two words to each other, suddenly are thrust into a terrifying world of kill or be killed. You see their personalities mesh and their group grow closer as they experience more and more sorrow. I think that's why that dynamic is such a huge part of disaster films, it really is a fundamental fantasy for many.

I'm glad to hear that you have someone special. Don't let distance (not sure of you're distance from one another) play a factor in your meshing. Distance is a physical dimension whereas personality transcends the physical realm and can easily overcome any obstacle.

In my short time here, I have noticed it does become futile at some point to entertain behaviors such as these. Something which has worked fairly effective for me is just ignoring. Clearly our minds are set in stone respectively, and no amount of communication will change them. Do you not see that?

If you further tread down this path I can only begin to assume you have ulterior motives.

Sorry, just saying...

Clearly I don't believe that all of you are unchangeable. I reject your assumption. You are free to feel or think as you will, but it simply gets to me that you think so damned illogically. I feel the need to keep speaking my truth.

I used to latch onto this kind of phooey, but over time my mind has matured, and reasoned through it with the help of people playing roles as I am here in this thread.

Just sayin'.

However did ATS get along all this time before you blessed all of us with your logic (Feb, 7th 2013), sorry we are all so immature for you but you do know that if you feel too mature for our company the door is available? I am forced to ask......

If you do not believe in conspiracy theories and fringe science then why exactly are you here?

just sayin'

I have e been having really weird dreams and most have people from my teens in them, dead or alive.

Strange you bring that up, kaidec. Same here, it's been a couple of years now. Dead relatives, dead friends, lost friends, all mixed up together like nothing ever happened to them. The dreams are so real it's crazy.

I've discussed this with my sister and she's the same. Never had those types of dreams in my life before, ever, neither did she. But now, it's like it never stops.

No clue on the meaning though.

It is all rather strange, I often have dreams that involve people I have not seen in well over 10 years.....sometimes they were not...how shall I put it...good friends with me, yet in my dreams they are often portrayed as if they have been best friends with me all along.....quite strange.

I came out as an extrovert....and I am in the group of those waiting for something. Here's my results from taking the test...

Yeah I wrote that response on like page 12-15 or so......I was not prepared to wade through 45 pages and counting lol

Again, I would like to say truly EPIC thread in every sense of the word smylee......very interesting (if time consuming) reading all the responses. One of the best threads I have read ever and I still have the lil bro thread to read.

Do we keep this thread going and see who notices it first or do we let it slide and be forgotten??

I think i'll remember this thread and if/when I feel something is about to happen, i'll come here and post about it... will be easier than going to each profile and doing so.... or maybe a new thread will pop up.

edit on 1-3-2013 by TruthxIsxInxThexMist because: (no reason given)

I've been thinking about this as well. I know the thread's critics swooped in and either didn't get it or didn't care what the majority were saying. But what struck me was the level of civility overall, the eagerness for people to respond openly, and the "okay-ness" of saying "me too" in a thread when the rules of the road here on ATS tend to discourage that type of "me to" post.

We've discovered that here, on a site where many come because they question or think differently than others on many topics -- that beyond that, there's a group who actually shared a vague funky feeling that almost defies words, and seems so odd that -- even on a conspiracy type site -- most would be hesitant to bring it up -- that is, until they started to see others dare to share.

One takeaway is -- let's all remember this civility when we're back out on the rest of ATS. Be kinder, don't try to be "right" -- rather, share, ask, question, with respect and kindness. When bullied, stand up, but don't let the bully push your buttons. There are many places in our lives where we have to "take it" or keep our mouths shut it seems (perhaps with a family member or on the job, etc.), but ATS should be a place where we can share our "opinions" and thoughts, learnings and experiences, ideas and theories, memories and fears, laughter and more -- knowing that, in the end, it's about community. By the nature of that word, we should be supportive of one another, even if we disagree or our particular experience was different than another's experience.

I may believe in Atlantis, and you may think it's hogwash. You might believe you saw a UFO, and the next poster may think it is an impossibility. I might think chemtrails exist, and you might feel that is just crazy talk. But there's a way to share and bring information and perspectives to the table without tearing one another to pieces.

I secretly was thinking it would be fun to have a sub-group within ATS of all of us who share this "feeling" of expectation -- just because we all seem to be such a caring, open and supportive group -- and it feels that many of us really appreciated that type of support.

Thanks for a great thread ride.

I knew I wouldn't get through the last page that easily

VERY important message in my humble opinion......if I may I would like to link a thread I recently authored as a tongue in cheek rant.

Why Can't We Be Friends?

I've been having a think about what we or our Generation need to do and I came up with these top 3 concerns which need to be diverted:

No. 1 : Diversion Of The Nuke Bomb Or At Least the nuke Bomb Threat.

No. 2 : Diversion Of Sharia Law. I See This As Really Important Because Our Children May Well Be Growing Up Into This Type Of World And It Would Be Our Fault For Not Stopping It.

No. 3 : Diversion Of Security Technology Advancement. I Figure This Is To Be Avoided As We Don't Want Our Children Or The Young To Be Spied On And Chipped In The Future! (Only Thing Here Is It Could Be Too Late). This Will Be Our Fault Aswell.... Children Have No Say And Those Which Aren't Born Yet And In Years To Come Will Be Being Born Into An Age Where Technology Has Advanced So Much That They Will Never Know What True Freedom Was As All Books Relating To The 20th Century And Before Could Well be Destroyed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also pondered on the premise that maybe it is us who should be ushering in the 'New World Order' not those in charge now but us.... maybe we are the ones who should be forming our 'One World Government' to put things right before it's too late.

Anyway, these would be my top 3 Priorities to work out/sort out.

Hi Darkphoenix,

You and I both. There are two people in my world that I really really and I mean really dislike. They were both very close friends, they both hurt me like no one else could ever do. I haven't seen them in years, don't miss them one bit and still, like you, they sometimes show up in my dreams, being best friends ever (like in the past) as if nothing ever happened.

I even wake up at times thinking "what the heck was that all about??" after dreaming of one or the other.

Quite strange indeed but I'm glad that it doesn't only apply to me. Thanks for sharing !!

I know this is blatant bumping, but i dont want to see this thread sink. I know its difficult to keep a thread going, but this one has been important to so many members and brought in many newly registered members.

I think smyleegrl deserves a holiday.

I felt compelled to post on this.

I do the same quite a lot. I have had many friends that have passed on, and many ex-friends I no longer have anything to do with that I dream about in a context that is not only unusual, but outright impossible. I've had dreams of hanging out with dead friends and doing stuff that seems very normal, and had dreams of being around people I despise (there are very few though), as friends.

I do the same, wake up and go "what the hell was that?"

I often wonder if there are people who have an unconcious ability to see inside other realities where things are very different. Where friends stayed friends and didn't betray you, where other friends didn't pass on. We can't do it while we're awake, but in sleep we kind of 'cross over' to our other self and see our other lives, kind of like remote viewing.
It's only a theory, but I can't come up with any other explanation for it. People say your dreams are an extension of what your mind is conciously working through, but these are things I have long made peace with, so I don't see why it would come up.

The other strange thig is being in locales that I have never been to before, but are very familiar with. I have travelled fairly extensively, but have never been to the places I dream about. Despite this they seem familiar, to the point I know my way around in a way only a local would. Others seem like slightly different versions of where I've lived.

It's very hard to explain, but I often wonder if we have a certain vibration that allows us to see alternate timelines/realities/dimensions/etc in our dreams, and when we wake, we can't make sense of it because it is so far removed from our concious world.

Ahh, lol. The books in particular that I was thinking of were some of his remarks in, iirc, Trance, Art and Creativity and Operations of Increasing Order. Those you can read online through his son's site. He opens both with a citing of why a paradigm shift needs to occur in both. This was the part that I thought would be of interest to you--it's his worldview. I was in the program as a kid when he was president of the NAGC. I have his hallmarks all over me, I guess. Kind of like you, it makes me cringe inwardly though a little worse because I'm possibly a byproduct of the Psychedelic movement (explains my allergy to hippies), lol. I'm going to go cry now, lol....

P.S. Don't be shocked when you see the "New World Order" remark. Look at the caption on the left on this one's front page complete with the photo of a Stepford teacher: www.world-gifted.org...

Straight out of Conspiracyville, lol.
