Your like the ghost of my dad right now

So, but... What I'm saying is that people A are in the mundane world. That's all they're in in this linguistic puzzle. And then people B are in the mundane world AND in spiritual mystical realms and what have you. And so in a sense, people A are "more" in the mundane world because that's the only place they are.

No offense people A

I think my eyes just crossed and I fell off my chair. I can't understand this at all, but then that is all about grammar, which is something that I never have completely understood. I so wanted to learn to speak Spanish, since my husband was from Argentina. However, due to my failings in grammar, I could only speak it in the present tense. I was born with Dyslexia, and I think that is why grammar takes me for a loop. I have tried to study grammar so many times and in so many ways, but it still drives me crazy. It is probably one of my biggest failings in life. Maybe someone could help me to understand these last few notes. I am completely befuddled.

Sheila -- My parents and stepmother all got high degrees in English, dad and stepmom taught it. I was tested in teens as having a text-based learning disability, not dyslexia but something similiar (never was told an exact name, was part of lots of other testing). My dad would sometimes correct my grammar. Once when I tried to call him to tell him I was losing a job and in crisis he hung up saying he was watching a documentary on JFK assassination. Next day he sent me an email with 5 pages about JFK and not a word or question about me, how I was doing, etc. As a result I guess I've become a pretty good writer, though I still find it difficult to read as much as I'd like now that severe depression and anxiety have ruined my attention span.

I'm not sure what the above was or was not about. I was trying to say something about shamans and then was told I was saying something I wasn't and my grammar was analyzed and attacked and so I lost interest. But as I keep being told it's never anyone's problem to worry about how others are reading them I'm trying to ignore it, even as I need to add one more person to the list of people who seem to believe every misinterpretation of my words is in fact my fault and my problem.

I'm not a shaman, but I've had some shaman-like experiences and have known many people with similar. Usually people who have been forced to live outside predominant mainstream paradigms and find lots of esoteric knowledge of spiritual and "supernatural" nature. Meaning not common knowledge.

I think my eyes just crossed and I fell off my chair.

Oh dear. Apologies. Are you alright?

I can't understand this at all

I was basically only clarifying where I got the impression on Jemini's wording, being how a sentence was phrased.

So you haven't missed out on that much :)

However, due to my failings in grammar, I could only speak it in the present tense.

That sounds like you'd get a lot of very grounded perspective & always current going on with how you spoke, though.

One tense is still far more than none, is what I'm saying. Congratulations to getting there. :)

even as I need to add one more person to the list of people who seem to believe every misinterpretation of my words is in fact my fault and my problem.

Please review the difference between 'just discussing' eventually 'debating a point', and personal attack.

Disagreeing on a thread or inquiring for more information as to experience of the speaker, is nowhere near a personal attack.

You did not inquire about my experience. You told me I wasn't saying what I was saying. You ignored my attempt to point out, I would rather not have my grammar corrected. It seemed to coincide with a sudden chilling elsewhere so I read something into it. You are right, I am sorry to call any of this an attack. I was simply feeling annoyed by having my grammar criticized, as well as apparently my intention challenged, by someone who up to then had been following me plenty enough to know I had just heard my mother was in the hospital. When I pointed this out you didn't back down. My triggers around grammar policing are my own, the rest of it I remain confused about and feel you are now the one hiding behind semantics. I'm not attacking you though. Actually am scared because you've been a bit of a friend and I still can't figure out what I said to annoy you. I don't like weasel words anymore than anyone btw. What are we really talking about here, and could we take it elsewhere so as not to pollute this thread further?

I have had quite a few experiences with "spirits" or "ghosts". My first one being the last time I attempted suicide and almost succeeded 7 yrs ago. I took many pills that when I took one would make me so drowsy I would pass out for at least 12-14 hours unable to wake up. After taking about 20 of those I passed out but woke up after 2hrs with a feeling that my Dad (who commited suicide when I was a year old) was there and a strong sense of wanting to live. I've always felt and thought that my Dad woke me up. I was told in the emergency room that at the point I came in it was too late to pump my stomache and my organs should of already failed, I shouldnt of lived.

I've had things literally fly off shelves at work on numerous occasions. One time I was waiting for guests to arrive and it was a slow night so we didn't have much staff, there was no one near me. I hear a very loud masculine voice say Hello. I looked up and no one was there or in sight. I've heard things move around when I'm alone at work, the only one in the building.

At home I've heard knocking a few different times and a huge crash once where my cats ran out of the room. I searched the entire room numerous times and found nothing broken or fallen, searched my house and outside the house and found nothing.

The other week I got in my bed and it was completely warm like someone had been laying in my bed, I checked the bed warmer and it was turned off. Normally my bed is cold when I get into it. That time was comforting though.

Another time as a small child I was laying in bed and saw a flash of white light in the hallway (which has no windows in it). I thought someone had taken a picture, I was confused so got out of bed and asked my mom what it was but she didn't believe I saw anything and sent me back to bed.

A family friend comes over pretty regularly and has said that she sees figures in our house. One time they kept coming in the room we were in, she felt very uncomfortable about it. She said they left and it looked like they went into my bedroom.

This is my take on the situation; providing that this is not a hypnogogic or schizophrenic hallucination (no offense intended) and is in fact a spirit then...

......you can smudge with sage, cedar and / or lavender, or use holy water (Catholic churches will give you holy water but I think a small donation is in order), making the sign of the cross over your doorways and windows, and pray any special prayer of protection that feels right to you. Ask them to leave and to not come back, assert that it is your living space and they do not belong there. This should get them to leave. If not, I would definitely contact a Priest, Shaman, or Wiccan priestess.

@ simply Simon- thank you for the thread suggestion! I will definately read.
An update of sorts-
My husband and I went to our next door neighbors house today who's moms death kind of was the spark that started this recent activity- ( it was an in home situation where unfortunately she just got too old and fell apart week by week and the daughter -my older neighbor - had to go through a lot of hurt. I was asleep the night she was in the hospital and jolted up in my sleep and just knew she had died. I felt her spirit knocking on the outside of our house starting on that exact night. I found out today she is indeed the motherly kind spirit I spoke of. She is now welcome at my bedside because she is the one who just wants to help and comfort me in my sleep. I was in their house and she didn't visit me, there was just a warmth like she was smiling. I felt SO comfortable there ; where we with PTSD know that isn't always usual with other people hang out or not ....She just wants her daughter to find peace, to move on and be happy. I think that's why she is visiting me and not her? She doesn't want to scare her or cause her any more pain. Does anyone have any advice as to if I should attempt to tell my neighbor this, or if I should continue to do what I am doing now which is do what I know is safe , listen to the spirit and go over to the neighbors, pick out certain flowers and just check on them once in a while + give her daughter much needed support when they are in their first few months of mourning? I think I just answered my question but welcome input! :)

And thx as well lion heart- for the "not so nice ones that pop up- if it becomes a real problem I will definately seek help and intend on seeking wisdom from a good source in the near future on general terms of getting my sensitivity under control. In the meantime thankfully the "mom" spirit is really looking after me and may be helping me fend the ones with any bad intentions away for now.

Thread name- If You Are Into The Paranormal....if Not, Please Leave. In A Nice Way. :)

Paranormal is separate from 'anyone's' limited take and to exclude those of another opinion is not very tolerant... offered "in a nice way." :)

Just because we know of a thing...doesnot mean we own a thing.:hug:

 

[Nighthawk]

I have had many a vision, visit , or premintion. I used to dream future accidents horrifying with no way to warn those in them. I closed the door to the most degree. When I was 8 my grandfather circled my bed and in the morning he was dead. He lived 18 hours drive away. I have had things moved, vanish, candles light themselves. I have often asked them to stop and that they need to find somewhere else to play. The mean ones are really bad. I don't really like to talk about about it as I do NOT want to open the doorway.
