My mind is blown...

[Wolferz]

As some here are aware, my life mate Shewolferz is gravely ill and will probably die very soon now. In home hospice has her parked in a hospital bed in our bedroom at this very moment. We still had some business she needed to clear up in regard to her will. Our attorney came to our home yesterday evening with the new documents to be signed and witnessed which was accomplished. As we all stood in my foyer conversing with the esquire, he told us of Miss Nancy H. a neighbor a few doors down, having a heart attack the day before.
This morning when I got out of bed to change shifts and sent my stepson off to get some sleep, Shewolferz called me into our bedroom and the first thing she does is tell me that Miss Nancy died last night. Later this morning I found out that what she had told me was TRUE!:huh::o:timeout:

Now I'm like Whisky Tango Foxtrot over because milady is bedridden with no access to any type of communication device.

Someone please insert a plausible explanation here.

[Harvs]

When my dad was passing over a good friend of ours told us there was someone else in the room to guide him on his journey, maybe this is the same thing.

[August]

Maybe she heard you and the lawyer talking? My wife's ability to hear and discern the most far off conversation never ceases to amaze me.

My condolences to you and your family Wolferz.

So many bad news around at Subsim lately.
I'm sorry to hear that... :-?

I appreciate that August but, milady is still with us and all she could of heard was that Nancy was in the hospital due to a heart attack. Nothing was said of her passing which occurred in the wee hours of this morning. But at around 06:30 milady tells me that she had passed away last night.
The only thing I can figure is that maybe Nancy stopped by in spirit before her departure from this plane of existence. The two of them were fast friends for the past thirty-six years.

It's going to blow my mind for the rest of my life.:o

I'm really sorry to hear of her illness. As far as an explanation, there is none. Take it on faith but you knew that already. Harvs has a pretty explanation though.

[Sailor Steve]

I don't believe in the supernatural, but I don't really disbelieve either. I just don't know. My late friend Rocky felt pretty much the same way, but some time after his wife died he told me she had visited him one night. Liking to think of myself as pragmatic I tossed one of his favorite old phrases back at him: "Was it real or was it Memorex?"

He thought about it for a few seconds and said "All I can say is, it sure seemed real at the time."

I'd like to say of course there's a rational explanation, but these days "of course" is one of those places I try to stay away from.

[fireftr18]

In the past 25 years, I've encountered many people who were near death. Many of them said things like grandmother and grandfather visited, or said something similar to what Mrs. Wolferz said. The way they described the encounter always seemed to sound like more than just an illusion. I had no reason to believe they were anything less than absolutely truthful. Other than being visiting angels, I have no explanation.

[Eichhörnchen]

I could only suppose Mrs W had heard about the heart attack and dreamed the woman down the street had succumbed (it being quite a likely thing) then awoke thinking it had really happened.

I'm afraid I tend to believe there is a simple reason for most weird stuff that goes on, even if we can't come up with it at the time.

[Catfish]

Sorry to hear of your wife's illness, at least she is at home.

I really do not know what to make of this, maybe there is a a "normal" explanation ??

[Betonov]

I accepted the fact that we don't know.

There may be a supernatural world surrounding us and when one is dying the barriers fall down.
Or it's just that when the body is dying the brain starts flooding the system with endorfines (feel good hormone) and during the brains effort too keep things running some memories may be vividly brought to life. Just a random chance or our bodies are made to ease us trough death ?? I can't say.

[HW3]

My condolences to you and your family Wolferz.

[Jimbuna]

Can't say I believe or otherwise...I simply don't know.

Best wishes matey.

[Schroeder]

@Wolferz
I'm very sorry to hear this. You have my sympathy.

My late friend Rocky felt pretty much the same way, but some time after his wife died he told me she had visited him one night.
I had the same thing happen to me when my father passed away. He would appear in my dreams for two nights way more realistic than what dreams are normally like. On his second visit he told me that it would be the last time he could see me and I never had that experience again ever since. I'm not sure whether this is just a trick of the mind to deal with loss but it sure felt very different than normal dreams....

[Platapus]

I am sorry to hear of your partner's condition. I hope that if it is her time to pass, that she passes with little pain and some dignity. That is a tough thing to deal with.

As for her statement, unfortunately, a single data point like that is the definition of coincidence -- Two independent events that share a commonality occurring at the same (or close) time. It is tempting to assign some mysterious causality because of the strangeness of the coincidence. Now if she had a history of correctly "sensing" people's deaths with a good false alarm rate, then we might have something to ponder.

But a one time declaration that happened to be correct? A coincidence. An eery coincidence, but a coincidence none the less.

[Onkel Neal]

Ask her how she learned about the neighbor?

[Wolferz]

Ask her how she learned about the neighbor?

Yes, of course.:O:
She doesn't know. Being dosed up on Morphine slows the metabolism so she can breathe easier, unfortunately it also addles her memory.

[Jeff-Groves]

I've seen and had some strange things happen in my life.
I am a firm believer in Deja-Vu and have had dreams that seemed to show the future in some small ways.
Maybe a form of Deja-Vu?
:hmmm:
I've seen things at Gettysburg I never believed in until I saw them with my own eyes.

The night before my Mother passed I had a dream of my GrandMother.
The day my Mother passed she told me "You saw my Mom last night."
:o

I don't care what anyone says as I know what happened and will believe in what I experienced.

I need no one to explain it to me.

[Mr Quatro]

They say that you can hear a plane crash in the spirit world ... all of the passengers are of course cursing their unknown God.

There is no time or distance in the spirit world ... she must have heard a voice.

Voices can be good and they can be lying spirits ... in this case they told the truth.

Can you ask her how she knows?

By the way not to bring politics in, but even Hillary Clinton talks to an imaginary friend that she picked up while living in the White House.

Who? Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt

[Betonov]

I was asking RedOctober the other day how come American battlefields are haunted while Europe was painted red three times over and there's no haunted battlefields :hmmm:

[Jeff-Groves]

Over population?
:hmmm:

Gettysburg was a one time BattleField. Not fought over many times.
Maybe the number of battles or deaths on a given field can stop things like that?

[Eichhörnchen]

There are a number of supposedly haunted WW2 airfields in the UK...

I've heard theories that suggest it's caused by magnetic lay lines in the earth coupled with heavy deposits of quartz.

Milady believes in spirits and has claimed to have seen them. Where she grew up people often sighted a large black mass floating across a road and entering homes. If a home was entered by this thing, the next day someone would be found dead in it.:huh:

Armistead saw a ghost once, didn't ya?:)

[Betonov]

The UK is an exception. Every cellar is haunted there :O:


I've heard theories that suggest it's caused by magnetic lay lines in the earth coupled with heavy deposits of quartz.

I was thinking along the same lines.
MAybe, just maybe the antive Americans knew something and they managed to turn N. America into a spiritually more receptive land in the eons before the Europeans arrived. Could explain the UK and their druids before the Romans :hmmm:

All the theories, no way to find out

[Jeff-Groves]

I tend to believe the mind is more powerful then we realize.
If one closes their mind to things? It's like closing a door.
The more open to things one is? the more things one can see or feel.

Wolferz,
My Wife is a self proclaim Wiccan. She reads and believes in all kinds of stuff that I'm a bit on the side rails about.
But She has opened my mind to allow for the fact that We don't understand it all.
So We can put a proven answer to some thing. Big deal.
Last I heard there is no Solid proof of Black Holes. Only theories.

[Catfish]

i have come to the conclusion (however vulgar it may sound), that consciousness creates what we perceive (or think of) as reality.
(This german word "Bewusstsein" (~consciousness) does not translate well into english)
It is also what quantum physics tell us, but it is hard to accept.

[Jeff-Groves]

Welcome to the Matrix.
:D

[Wolferz]

Welcome to the Matrix.
:D

Gave your body back to the machines....again!!??:03::O:

[Eichhörnchen]

i have come to the conclusion (however vulgar it may sound), that consciousness creates what we perceive (or think of) as reality.

There was something about the philosopher George Berkeley on Radio 4 last week: he was an exponent of all this stuff as you may know. So like, when he'd been to the bog for a dump, did the crapper cease to exist once he'd pulled the chain and closed the door? I think not. I'd be guessing the next person to go in there would be likely to disagree...

Sorry for a huge off topic story

This goes also for a person political and religious believ.

Have noticed this among friends and their friends.

Some one post a hoax etc and I can say which of my friends who's going to believe this hoax and not.

End of this off topic.

I tend to believe the mind is more susceptible than we want to admit.

Possibly. When I was a believer I attributed a lot of things to the supernatural, things I later realized could have been mere coincidence. I realize now that I have never seen or experienced anything that couldn't be explained by natural means. Because my mind is closed? Again, possibly. this doesn't mean I automatically dismiss other people's experiences. There is a lot more I don't know than I do. That said, I'm more likely to look for a rational explanation than a spiritual one.

[Wolferz]

Reality is just a projection of every mind on the planet.

[Nippelspanner]

I tend to believe the mind is more susceptible than we want to admit.
Yep, that. :yep:

[Armistead]

So sorry you're having to go through this my friend. Getting older seen so much, but this is certainly so personal.


Don't worry about the other, let it mean to you whatever you want.

You're in my thoughts!
