Hello again everyone, sorry I haven't been as active as I could be. But I do have something I would really like to share and talk about, so here it goes.

Have you ever been going on with your life, and felt some inexplainable urge to do something out of the way, or out of the norm? For example: I was in the library a few months ago and felt this pressing need to research religion and many other books. I didn't know what I was looking for, but I knew I couldn't stop as if an invisible hand was pushing me to read. For the next couple of weeks I was researching Wicca and rituals long and hard. I dedicated myself in the late summer. It seemed as if an outside force was preparing me for that moment.

It was as if the Goddess was monitoring me, and helping me to dedicate myself!

Another diffrent yet equally compelling moment was when I was helping my sister to move. She's engaged to this man I wasn't quite fond of, but I still wanted to be very close to her and talk to her about her life. Now I am usually a very submissive, passive person, but I asked her some difficult questions about why she left her previous boyfriend, what she thought of her fiance, and others.

That night and the next morning (I had stayed over to help clean) I had learned some things that shattered my preconceptions of this man and their relationship. I had learned that her previous boyfriend was abusive despite being such a stand up guy to everyone else. For the longest time my parents have talked down to my sister and her decisions, and went on about how this ex boyfriend was the greatest.

Now I had found out some very diffrent things, and eventhough it was devistating to learn what he did to her, I had to tell my parents and as a result, they understand her more and are much more supportive to her and her fiance.

I belive that some outside force wanted me to discover what was going on, and help make things right in my family. It's a strange theory, but I strongly feel that is what occured.

Does anyone know what to make of this?I could really use with some outside opinion. Does anyone have a similar experience with forces or spirits?

Well, I definitely know the feeling of being compelled to do something and not knowing why. I'm drawing a blank at the moment of a specific example, but stuff like that tends to happen to me all the time. I just go with it. I believe everything happens for a reason, even if we may not know that reason. I'm a pretty passive, go-with-the-flow kind of person, so if I feel compelled to do something, I do it.

Actually, the only example I'm remembering at the moment is what happened this past Christmas. I felt a sudden urge to clean my room--and I'm a very unorganized person. I decided, "What the heck, let's go for it!" and I spent nearly four and a half hours cleaning my room (I mean, really cleaning: going through all my old papers and books and everything). The next day, I woke up, leaned over and puked over the side of my bed, right where a pile of clothes always are on the floor.

Now, I know my example is less dramatic and rather gross... sweatdrop ...but it's the same idea as what you're describing.

I think that the Lord and Lady want us to do certain things for certain reasons. They obviously already knew I was going to ruin my clothes if I didn't clean my room, so they planted the idea in my head to do it. biggrin

hmm..... ... ... ...... ... ... ... .......

Well, I can say that I've had those experiences... mmm... but they were rather bad ones that Id rather not talk about. But since we are on the topic...

Lets see, I've always been able to sence spirits around me ever since I was little, but I've only ever been able to see the bad ones. I guess because they are closer to our plain than divine ones. Anyway, Since I could see them they always seemed to try and push me in the wrong direction. It was like they really didnt want me to continue my life for some reason I have yet to find.

Yet I fought through them and though I did mmmm.... how shall I put this... Not really follow what they said but I almost listened to them once.

Now the reason Im putting all this up is that about a year ago I was deeply depressed and wanted nothing more than a boyfriend. I dont know why I wanted one so bad, I've never really been interested in the relationship thing before so I really didn't know where the need came from. (or I have to stop rambling I know sorry)

Anyway, I decided to date this boy that has been infatuated with me since we were in grade school together. He was really sweet and easy to please, and I was happy. But as time went on I began falling for his friend. I know high school drama crap, and I tried really hard not to do it. But somewhere inside I felt I should be with him, I needed to be with him.

Finally I did give up and begin dating him and come to find out he saw the same things I did. He went through the same experiences I did. It was just really nice to find someone with the same views as I have on the world. We are still together some ten months later and I feel he could be my soul mate.

So I guess if I was never pressed to start dating I would never have found him, because he is two years below me in school though only a year difference in age. If I never dated that first guy I would never have found him.

Pew, okay I guess Im done... sorry if I rambled, that is the only one I can think of right now.
