I'm Still Here!!

Posted by Chris

Hey everyone! I just wanted to make a formal post to inform all of my regular readers or even people just stopping by that I am still around. I've been gone lately because I've been in the middle of a rather big move. I relocated to be closer to my university, however in doing so it caused some complications with my free time. I'm just now getting settled in with employment and things are finally beginning to calm down.

The other issue I faced was not bringing my personal computer with me during the move. I need to have it sent here, but in the mean time I'll be able to stop by the library a few days a week for a few hours so I can try to answer any questions you guys might have, or have already asked. I just replied to some of your comments and I'm pretty sure I have more to do. For those of you awaiting my return comment on your blog I will get to that the next time I'm at a computer. Thanks for your patience everyone! I really appreciate it. :).

Take Care,
~Chris

Addiction can and does strike millions of people in the one place they thought they were safe. Their minds.

I find it some what hypocritical that we, often referred to as "spiritual peoples" have a tendency to view the world or reality as a giant puzzle just waiting to be pieced together. Or wait, do we? Quite the contrary actually. Most of the time general spirituality is perceived as being a practice, or some form of undertaking and belief geared towards pursuing and developing ourselves to better achieve some goal in a spiritual sense. Some see this as being enlightenment, others see it as more so a form of just basic understanding or being. The common ground here, is that we perceive it as being something we need to work towards, that we have some innate purpose in bettering ourselves. But compared to WHAT exactly? Here is where things begin to get interesting.

Over the past few months I've been experiencing a steady increase in precognitive dreams. These are dreams in which the future in part, or in totality is foretold by symbols or clear images and scenarios within a dream. Many have experienced precognitive dreams in their lives, be those the standard Deja Vu like instances, or the almost premonitory dreams that seem to rattle the minds of those who experience them. This dream is either later recalled at the time of the "future" event transpiring, which is also refereed to as being Deja Vu, or directly after sleeping.
