Average age?

How many have had paranormal experiences?

etc....etc

I promise I'll have it to you by Sunday evening.....after I finish lesson plans and grading.

Should be an interesting read....

1. Meyer's Briggs Personality Type (take test here)
INTP

2. Astrological sign
Aries

3. Blood type
A-

4. Highest level of Education
Some college

5. Are you a lucid dreamer?
I have but, it is not common

6. Any psychic experiences?
A few but, they were involuntary. I knew a friend died, that I did not get an important job, that I would have a kid around even though I did not want one or plan on one (raised my niece).

7. Any paranormal experiences?
A lot, I grew up in a house which was considered haunted. A lot of things which would be considered poltergeist activity happened there. (I do not like labeling things though since we really don't know what these things are). A lot of visitors in our home witnessed things as well as my family. It became so common it was annoying at times kinda like trickster friends. Somewhere in my threads there are three that are very different than these and I was just trying to see if anyone experienced something similar.

8. Religious affiliation/ spiritual beliefs?
Started out Christian but, left that. Best description now would be seeing/feeling an interconnected pattern between all things. I call myself an agnostic when speaking to others only because that is easier to explain to people that require a label.

9. Have you started any recent hobbies?
Yes, cataloging plants by their usefulness to mankind. Such as a plant that is edible, how it is medicinal etc. It is almost a compulsion and I have notebooks full of this stuff but, have never used any of it. My grandmother did this as well.

10. Birth Country and Current Country of Residence

USA, Finland and USA

Greetings, ATS!

I was completely surprised at the amount of responses to my the Waiting Game: Do You Feel It? Those responses have left me with a lot of questions. Hence this thread.

I would like to try and find any commonalities amongst those of us who “sense” (for lack of a better word) of anticipation. I feared that if I posted this in the original thread, it would quickly get buried. So the focus of this thread will be solely to look for possible connections between us. To share your stories about your own waiting sensations, please add to the other thread. Thanks!

Here is a list of questions I think would be interesting if we each would answer. If you can think of other questions to ask, feel free to add it to the bunch. We’re just gathering data, looking for correlations, while understanding that correlation does not imply causality.

So, to the questions.

1. Meyer's Briggs Personality Type (take test here)

2. Astrological sign

3. Blood type

4. Highest level of Education

5. Are you a lucid dreamer?

6. Any psychic experiences?

7. Any paranormal experiences?

8. Religious affiliation/ spiritual beliefs?

9. Have you started any recent hobbies?

10. Birth Country and Current Country of Residence

1. Was a tossup between Protector and Counselor.

2. Taurus

3. A+

4. Some community college.

5. Have once

6. No (yes? if Deja Vu counts)

7. Yes My Story

8. Hard to answer, I hate labels, I do believe in a supreme being so Agnostic prolly fits best.

9. I am always doing something

10. U.S. / U.S.

Edit Ah crap, 16 pages to read *shakes fist at smylee* j/k

Well, aren't you the nosy Nessy?

1. Meyer's Briggs Personality Type: INFJ (Old joke: How many introverts does it take to have a meeting? 2. But they both need an internet "connection".)

2. Astrological sign: Scorpio

3. Blood type: A Negative ( Yeah, I know. I've heard it all before)

4. Highest level of Education: High School

5. Are you a lucid dreamer? No. But I understand that if you write down your dreams as soon as you wake up, in time, you'll be able to control them better.

6. Any psychic experiences? Deja Vu. I used to chalk it up to the green but I haven't done that in decades. To this day it still makes me shy away from the people places or things associated with that feeling.

7. Any paranormal experiences? Not that I remember.

8. Religious affiliation/ spiritual beliefs? Raised Protestant, now spiritual. Nature based.

9. Have you started any recent hobbies? No

10. Birth Country and Current Country of Residence: U.S.A. ( It wasn't my fault

)

Deja Vu counts as a psychic experience? I guess I should have put yes then......I was thinking like the heavy duty stuff (Telepathy, Telekinisis etc.)

I know, right? I looked through and there seems to be an abundance of Sagittarius...followed by Gemini, Scorpio, and Taurus.

Interestingly enough, Sagittarius and Gemini are equidistant from each other on the Zodiac, as are Scorpio and Taurus. Think there's a connection?

Also, with the whole Sagittarius and Ophiuchus thing...if most Sagittarius are technically Ophiuchus, does being an Ophiuchus have anything to do with this general "feeling"?

Interestingly enough, has anyone ever heard of the Gate of God and the Gate of Man? I've heard of them but all I know about them is this: The Gate of God is supposedly located in the constellation Ophiuchus, between Sagittarius and Scorpio; The Gate of Man is located in Orion, between Gemini and Taurus. So, there's a Sagittarius, Scorpio, Gemini, and Taurus thing...and I have no idea what it means. LOL.

Anyone have any insights into any of it?

Very interesting.... I do want to say something, and I really hope someone can relate: all of my life, as long as I can remember, and to this very night, I have ALWAYS been drawn to the constellation Orion, always. Whatever time of year, whenever I'm at, when I look up into the night sky he is always there immediately.... I will stare forever, sometimes even talking aloud to Orion, almost praying in a sense. I've never been able to explain it, but it's always felt right, always a must, a calling to the constellation.

You are not alone here.....whenever I stargaze Orion is the one I always look for first....kinda an odd thing I never really thought about other then the belt is really cool and I mean....come on....he's a hunter!!

Not one particular star in Orion? I ask because I've always somehow felt connected to Omicron Ceti ("Mira"). Drawn. Like it's where I originated or something. (Though it's actually a binary star system...)

Finally, someone who can relate... no joke, you are the very first person whom I have ever discussed this with, thank you for being here, now

I've felt the same way like I'm looking at my home, like I'm looking towards a place where true peace and understanding exists. I've always been called towards the belt stars (Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka)... don't know why, can't explain anything other than the way I feel, and doing that is a challenge in and of itself, you know?

AHHHHHHHHH!!!! STOP IT!!!! Get out of my head!!

I can't believe that people are actually revealing their personal information.

edit on 1-3-2013 by Nikola014 because: (no reason given)

The "personal information" being revealed is not top secret info...cripes lighten up....she isn't asking for credit card numbers or drivers licenses followed by social security numbers......dang!!


On that note, I am gonna find and slap you with a fish smylee if the men in black pay me a visit

Okay, everyone. It's 2:20 in the afternoon, Saturday, and I'm starting the data compilation. All posts above this post will be included in the compilation. If you missed the party, you can add your info....bur no promises it will be added in.

I'll post the results here and in the original thread when I finish.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Dude, that's awesome!

I love ATS! lol

1. Meyer's Briggs Personality Type:

Introvert(89%) iNtuitive(38%) Feeling(25%) Perceiving(67)%

You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (89%)
You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (38%)
You have moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (25%)
You have distinctive preference of Perceiving over Judging (67%)

Boy am i ever introverted haha. Took the test twice, and made sure to answer 'borderline' questions differently. almost exactly the same result (although first time it was 100% introverted)!

2. Astrological sign: Leo

3. Blood type: B+ i think. I know its B something or other.

4. Highest level of Education: Bachelors in Computer Science. Doing an art degree now.

5. Are you a lucid dreamer? Sometimes - most frequently if I am napping for too long. I frequently have this repetitive dream where I know I am dreaming, and I gotta wake up. I get up finally, and then realize I'm still dreaming. So then I try to get myself up again, and cycle repeats for what sometimes seems a scary long time.

6. Any psychic experiences? Not really.

7. Any paranormal experiences? Nope!

8. Religious affiliation/ spiritual beliefs? I'm a member of the Sikh faith.

9. Have you started any recent hobbies? No - just have a bunch of old hobbies I never have time for.

10. Birth Country and Current Country of Residence: Canada, Canada. Of East Indian descent.

I do have to admit that I'm waiting for something....But I view that 'something' to be positive in nature, although initially it may not seem like it.

Okay. I've compiled all the data into a spreadsheet EXCEPT for the meyers=briggs personality test. I wanted to do that one a little differently.

Anyway, after compiling this, I realize that I did a really BAD job on this questionnaire. Live and learn, right? So here's what I learned I did wrong:

The questions were too vague. A lot of folks qualified their answers, because of the vagueness of my questions. Totally my fault. But it required me to make a guess as to whether someone had experienced something paranormal, psychic, etc. The way I did this, if the person mentioned anything about experiencing something, they got a yes.

I didn't take into account the different ways of labeling educational experience. Apparently lots of countries use different systems, so that was a problem.

Why did I ask the questions I asked? Someone requested blood type, I thought the meyers-briggs was interesting, figured educational level would be worth knowing....same for country of residence and birth.

The questions about belief in paranormal, psychic, and lucid dreaming were because I thought having experiences in these areas might be of interest. But again, too vague.

Haven't tried to analyze anything yet. Just thought I'd post the raw data here, so if you love statistics (I suck at it) and wanted to make pie charts and things you could have at it.

I'll get the mb results up next.

Not one particular star in Orion? I ask because I've always somehow felt connected to Omicron Ceti ("Mira"). Drawn. Like it's where I originated or something. (Though it's actually a binary star system...)

Finally, someone who can relate... no joke, you are the very first person whom I have ever discussed this with, thank you for being here, now

I've felt the same way like I'm looking at my home, like I'm looking towards a place where true peace and understanding exists. I've always been called towards the belt stars (Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka)... don't know why, can't explain anything other than the way I feel, and doing that is a challenge in and of itself, you know?

AHHHHHHHHH!!!! STOP IT!!!! Get out of my head!!

Dude, that's awesome!

I love ATS! lol

Glad you were amused lol

It was just ironic going down, I read your first post then I respond to that one with I am drawn to the belt stars.....not what 2 posts later you say the same darn thing! LOL

It's like you were reading my mind, so....did you put down yes to psychic experiences?

I copy/pasted the info from microsoft excel...that will be impossible to read. Anyone have a better idea on how to upload the data?

Won't be impossible....will just take a while to sort out for whomever is doing it. As far as better ideas, I'm sorry I have none offhand that I can think of.

Is all that data supposed to mean something? What's the conclusion here? Have you finally figured out what we're all waiting for?

My conclusion (so far):

I have no freaking idea what it means.

Ouch.....

Hmm, I don't know much about the constellations. Never really looked into it, not much of a star gazer either. I mean, they are nice to look at and all haha. But one time I was driving and I looked south-east at a particular star, and I felt exactly the way you describe. Just an incredibly powerful feeling - it was like a pull. Sadness, or maybe intense nostalgia. And then it was gone, and has never happened to me since.
So as I'm not much of an astronomer, I've just downloaded a program called Stellarium, and it may have been Orion I was staring at, but it depends on when it happened, which may have been between September and December. If it happened in December or late November, Stellarium shows that Orion would have been visible in the South East during the early hours of the night. And one of Orion's stars would have been intense, which fits because it was bright enough for me to think it was a planet I was staring at.

Have a major migraine today but I'll see what I can do. Probably best would be just going by incidence though if somebody else wants to do it. Just basically counting yes/nos, specific astrological signs, level of education, etc. Doing it that way actually makes it so that it doesn't associate the end result with any one person as well (for those who may be concerned).

So in short: make a tab or section for each question group and possible answers. Then count the answers.
