<description>&#60;p&#62;You have a father and two sons on the other side? &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Other side of what? Which side is your mother and your husband?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Listen Tabu. This forum has no believers in anything. We are the truth, the way&#60;br /&#62;
and the life. From the conversations posted here, anyone could tell that, given half the chance, we could even raise the dead.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;By the way, how did you qualify as a hypno-therapist?

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi all,&#60;br /&#62;
Does anyone out there believe in life after death?  I am a hypno-therapist and I do know there is life after death.  I have been through a few past lives that are relevant to this life.  I am a voice channeler and have channeled very high vibrations for 15 years now.  Lately I find myself opening up to lower energy spirits.  Not earth bound mind you.  I have a father and two sons on the other side.  On my birthday they woke me up at 7 am and wished me a happy birthday and actually sang happy birthday to me and told me they loved me.  I was on cloud nine all day.  Any way it was a break through for me in my life path.&#60;br /&#62;
Just wanted to share that with anyone who wants to listen.  Thanks
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Wow. Starion, no wonder the affair went astray and that idiot husband strayed. No man out there could have kept up with you. Men are generally shallow which is another word for dense - unless he is a Buddha or a Jesus Christ. The rest are just trash. As a matter of fact, they should just explode like drones after mating or get killed with black widow venom. Men, generally, have no place in women's lives because they are thick in the head and borrrring. The curious thing is why do the sage - the wise men - prefer celibacy?

<description>&#60;p&#62;Yiming... Let us say, you created a difficult situation. Oh you don't remember doing so, but the situation challenged you, made you reach deep inside of your mind for a solution, and in the process, opened doors to a greater understanding... and perhaps made you a better person...  Of course you wouldn't deliberately create such a situation - but your soul, (and yes, you have one) might do so with that intent... so&#60;br /&#62;
the difficult situation would unfold more knowledge in you than you could find in a book and the answers, the solution... would be perfectly right for you, at that time, in that situation... This is not an &#34;what if?&#34;  This is what people do every day... and the more stubborn or difficult or resistant they are to change, the more changes unfold around them forcing them to adapt... Call it a psychological breakthrough... Enjoy..

<description>&#60;p&#62;Come on, Starion. I am not asking about a &#34;what if&#34; hypothetical situation. Starlight's situation is real and not a &#34;what if&#34; speculation. So let me rephrase my question to you in another way without &#34;what if&#34;.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Letting go of the excess baggage of past hurts - as you advocated - frees one of post-traumatic stress. However, it cannot free us from ongoing trauma. Correct?
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Years ago, I went on a tour to visit Alcatraz with the fourth grade students. The guide had a speech before we began the tour. Ask me anything, he said, about convicts who were here, or the water around the island, ask about the buildings, but do not, do not ask a question that begins with &#34;What if?&#34;  I can't answer &#34;What if's?&#34; No one can.&#60;br /&#62;
  So Yiming, I respond to you &#34;I cannot answer &#34;What if's?&#34; No one can...&#60;br /&#62;
  However, there is a law that you never get more than you can handle. I respond to Starlight and to you... you never get more than you can handle... and that includes your childhood Yiming...

<description>&#60;p&#62;Starion, I know she is working it out. That is not the same as carrying excess baggage of remembered hurts that you are dealing. What if, as in Starlight's case, the hurtful situation is ongoing. How do you deal with it? One may get over the fear of a nasty ride but one can't jump off the rollercoaster while one is still in it and hurtling down the ramp at a zillion miles an hour, can one? Starlight is shutting out the fright with poetry. Who is to say that the car she is riding in won't fly off the rails. We are not just talking about psychological turmoil. There is potential of real physical distress.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Starlight is a very capable lady who's going through a tough time. She'll work it out; she's worked her way through very difficult times before...

<description>&#60;p&#62;What do you think lies between Starlight and the world she is facing? There is a lot of grief in her poetry. How is she to let go? Unlike your situation, she and her son did not go separate ways.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Did you know that you have a place in your mind for all of those cartoon characters??? That Disney introduced a new art form and now...your mind has Donald Duck with voice, McScrooge, cartoon dogs and cats, all in living color, and those did not exist in mind a century ago.... and it is an effective in presenting a situation and solutions as Shakespeare, books and even counselling... Cartoons! Who woulda thunk it?

<description>&#60;p&#62;We went two different ways, Yiming. Stuff happens...it's a part of life, but hanging onto the experience and trying to right it is bringing the past into the present where&#60;br /&#62;
it doesn't belong... I let it go... I want to enjoy my todays...&#60;br /&#62;
  There is a law that you don't get more grief, problems, misery or pain than you can&#60;br /&#62;
handle. I think a little higher. You don't CREATE more grief, problems, misery, or pain than you can handle. I think I created what happened to me; the problem was I was unwilling to let go of yesterday's creation in order to create better things for me today. Call it ego, anger, resentment, whatever...that's what I had done. So here I was carrying all this excess baggage of pain, grief, resentment, anger..and blocking the sun from shining....clearly...and me seeing clearly....  please no psychological stuff from you... I am perfectly capable of psychoanalysing (sp?) myself...and seeing what&#60;br /&#62;
lies between me and the world I am facing... once I see the obstacles...

<description>&#60;p&#62;Ok. You asked for it. I will continue being a badass pain wreaker. It is nothing personal but I am curious about relationships. I know about the fool of a husband but what made that affair go bad?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Man-woman relationship could be fundamentally unworkable. At least, I believe so. Expectations are unrealistic. You know who said that there is a dream boy for every girl? Walt Disney, that's who. And the reason why Snow White lived happily ever after with the handsome prince is because Cinderella wasn't in the cast.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Oh Yiming.. I am not the kind to shoot, cut or cause bodily damage to you or to anyone else. I got angry at your words, realized I was allowing myself to be angry...which isn't my normal reaction, then chased that reaction and found a dozen more pieces of anger inside me that I needed to take care of then let go of, using great forgiveness and more forgiveness, was what I needed to do for me. Now suddenly I have a giant thrust of energy, I needed to get the rest of my work done. What your words did was help me resolve a love affair gone bad, a disastrous fire, some work related issues, a belief in a conspiracy to wrestle me from my job, a bad marriage and a fool for a husband. You asked? I answered.  All of that and for your caustic words, I am so grateful... Understand that all of those things happened, but holding onto them and trying to make myself feel righteous about my indignity, was the problem.  You cannot hold onto the past and experience now at the same time. I let go! Thank you again... and please continue to be yourself Yiming. It's working....

<description>&#60;p&#62;Yiming.  I sincerely want to thank you for being here. Because of your caustic comments about tearing wings off angels, I experienced a breakthrough and I realized that you, at that moment, were my teacher. You forced me to see myself in a way I hadn't seen before... and for that alone, I am very grateful. In that moment, five other events I hadn't looked at before, also paraded before me asking to be examined and resolved. I am brimming with gratefulness for your wonderful gifts.... for all of your help...&#60;br /&#62;
 I am also grateful to everyone...who has shared with me ...

<description>&#60;p&#62;We have created a way of life that is hard to give up. I speak for the 1% at the top of the food chain. Spiritualism or the afterlife is for the other 99% struggling with one thing or another - no food, no love, no this or that - in this world. But for those on the roll and have it all, this life is hard to beat and we naturally want it to go on forever. Ending of a good thing is a concern. Why not?

<description>&#60;p&#62;The body fear death...after all, it will die. The soul, on the other hand, yearns to be free of this burden....especially when there is no more learning to be introduced.

<description>&#60;p&#62;I think that a person's will to live has much more to do with survival of an illness than the &#34;medicine&#34; or MD's technology. In my recent encounters with &#34;alternative&#34; healing, I find that it is the patient who does the healing, not the practicioner. Even in the Gospel, when Jesus &#34;performs&#34; a miraculous healing, he usually says it is the person who is healed who does the healing.

<description>&#60;p&#62;YAS: do you think that Doctor's save lives??? Do they?  Or is it that a person believing that they will save a life, allows them to do so????  Short story: My&#60;br /&#62;
father in law, in his 80's and fading a little, had gone through several years&#60;br /&#62;
of &#34;medical&#34; intervention. Doctor's kept removing parts..that had gone bad. Finally,&#60;br /&#62;
after the Doctor told him another part would have to be removed, he ripped out the&#60;br /&#62;
tubes and said &#34;Go to Hell!&#34; and let himself die within a week. Sure, they can keep the body alive until you know what freezes over, but is not life the value of living and experiencing in it, not just living???

<description>&#60;p&#62;&#34;Oh,,you don't know.. &#34;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Answer your question for me?  The epitome of what is pathetic.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'll answer the comments that aren't babble.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#34;How can one debate on what does not exist?&#34;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Is there a debate?
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;The only 'death' I would consider to be unfortunate is the one where the knower does not Know what 'he' is. That would be 'death' now...wouldn't it?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Yes, debate death. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It's all good
&#60;/p&#62;</description>
