Karmic Lessons.

[Never]

For $10 I got my Karmic Astrology read - Flipping through the pages I found the usual mix of something that everyone would see in themselves, stuff that's nothing like me and stuff that's quite on. What stood out was a simple sentence.

'Since groups of people often reincarnate together to work out karmic lessons, you may find you are a member of such a group.'

Hello!

While I'm certain that many scoff at such a notion it does add an interesting angle to what happens here at the board. There are people here I loved as soon as I met them, others I hated. If we're all here to work off some karmic debt and maybe get a little enlightened that would explain a hell of a lot.

It's obvious that this is more than a porn site but who would have thought it's a karmic nexus? What mingling of chance and fate brought settled every one of us here?

In my case it was following a link someone else had left on the school computer, a freak lightening storm, chancing on the homepage of someone I hadn't spoken with or seen in a year and a half which lead to meeting Endlessly whom I stalked to here.

Six months later I'm still here and I'm amazed at how I've 'grown' not only am I aware of my worst aspects (because of Endlessly), able to manage my money (Cheyenne), building a framework for my view of life (Dixon, Slut_boy, CreamyLady, Felix), having many of my preconceived notions challenged (Flamingo, Unclebill, Killer, Spunky, Laurel), feeling much better about my life (bobtoad, Naked Hunny, dee_cole) and my sexuality (Expertise, Adoratrice, Nicole, Endlessly again) but damn, I spend a lot of my time laughing my head off (Purple Haze, Nightlight, Chief, the whole fucking lot of you at times).

And the best thing it, it's all free!

So, did I know any of you in a past life?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come on - think about the Patryn/Slut_boy/Deborah triangle. That sort of antagonism takes lifetimes to erupt as it does.

I have a feeling that's a 'no'. Alright, carry on, carry on.

 

[Dillinger]

Depends which past life you're referring to? You didn't happen to go to movies with me back in the early part of this century, did you?

Karmic nexus? Like in Callahan's Bar or more like Howard the Duck?

I only knew one person from here. I was a lowly Christian slave. She was a hungry lioness. It was love at first site and then she ate me.

But, I'm sure I spotted one or two of you in the crowds giving us the thumbs up.

I know it sounds hokey but I believe all that stuff! Well ok, most of it anyway. I've always believed that what you put out there is what you'll get back. And some of the friends I've made recently definately feel like people I've always known. We share so much history and have learned so much about ourselves. And the learning sure has been fun!

 

[CreamyLady]

Probably in a monastery . . . I know I've been in one or two in past lives.

 

[SimplySouthern]

Karma...yep I believe in it. Past lives I am a little iffy on. I will say that there are certain people whom I have met in this life and had an instant "bond" with, People that made me feel comfortable and at ease. I don't think you can generally feel that way with someone so soon after meeting them....it has to be something, but I don't know what it is.

 

[Endlessly]

Erm, I always feel kinda awkward when you remind me of my role as the reminder of the worst parts of who you are, but hey, you're groovy in my book. *chuckles* Even if I do think reincarnation is bunk.

 

[Adoratrice]

I gotta know....didja love me or hate me???? or did I just sort of rub off on ya?


It makes me happy that I make you feel better about your sexuality...that is one thing that really upsets me ....people )parents,grandparents,teachers,church leaders etc.) puting it in childrens heads that if your not "normal & straight" then something is wrong with you...even my own children have come home spewing close-minded thoughts that others felt the need to inflict upon them. Despite the fact that I have always taught them that love is love regardless. I wish adults would realize that the things they say..."look at those queers" "it's just sick for those lesbians to adopt that baby" "people like that are going to hell" really do influence forming minds....and some of those minds are going to take what is said and turn it against themselves ..turn it into self-hatred because children believe what they hear. It is not anyones place to lay judgement on others for their sexual preferences...and as far as "GOD" punishing those who lay in lust with one of the same sex...well , we'll just have to see about that.



Now as far as Karma goes...I have had way to many things happen in my life for me NOT to believe ...my youngest daughter(she is 6) is the most amazing person I have ever met and I have no doubt that we were somehow linked in a former life. She remembers being in my body...remembers things with great detail , things that could not have happened to her in this life. She is able to read and get a feel for situations that many adults don't even have the intuition to grasp. I knew the second I saw my husband that it was him...I had always known him , I was just waiting to meet him. I have very strong connections to certain people without ever really putting any effort into "building" a relationship...it is just there. I could go on and on about my beliefs but I'm easily bored with myself.

Did I know you in a former life?....probably....who knows for sure...you and Muffin are the only people on here who ever caught my eye...I know what my connection to Muffin is....I knew within reading 5 of her posts. Us "Daddy's little girls" stand out in a crowd. I have always been a protector, a nurturer, I saw a few of your drowning in nothingness-meaningless posts and felt a pull towards you. I never really post on the debate threads or on the poor me threads....I can see a mind game coming from a mile away and I just don't put any energy toward playing them. I usually have the players pegged early in the game though.I think that is part of intuition , which we all have ...some just never use it.


Oh, and in response to the "so what" thread....pull every hair out if you have to just don't give up til you are standing on top of the nothingness that once surrounded you.You are born in a place that has nothing to do with you or what you will become .It is just a holding cell.
Trust me , I know what I'm talking about on this one.


So...are you gonna help me with the laundry or what?

Love the idea. Just think, everyone around you you have been around across lifetimes, just in different roles.

btw, I miss Bobtoad, where is that stinker anyway?

Erm, I always feel crappy when I'm reminded of that perticular event. However, I have exersied restrant and never sent you that e-mail months after the fact.

Adoritrce,
You missed it, yesterday was laundry day, I'll have to stick another 10 on my card before I do clothes again.

So, you're saying you want me to go bald?

(((April)))

Did you get my e-mail? I wasn't really all that drunk when I wrote it.

 

[April]

Yes, sweetie. I don't know what to say, though. My thoughts are muddled lately, and day-to-day life consumes what little brain power I have left. And I'm bad at emails.

 

[Never]

No need for the blue face. I just wanted to be sure you got it - I just wanted you to know that I appreciated you. That's all.

 

[April]

Aww, now you're gonna make me cry! *sniffle* I appreciate you, too.

 

[BrainyBeauty]

So, did I know any of you in a past life?

Yeah. And you owe me $42. Pay up now, Never.

Ok, this is gonna sound really wierd coming from a woman who totally enjoys getting close to maked for people for money, but I have always had a feeling that I must have had a past life in the Victorian era, those really long damn skirts, I love 'em, the corsets and everything else??? I love em'. Hell, I can even understand some of the mentality
