Return from holiday..............

[Star1111]

Dear Avalonians

Now here's a thing..................I had THE most extrodinary experience over the weekend.

It wasn't an out of body experience per se or a deep meditation, but at the weekend (and I've had this previously) I felt like I (my body and mind) were here, but that I (my soul/higher self) was away from me. If that makes sence??

I was aware and conscious that I was hanging out the washing, reading, shopping whatever I was doing at any particular time and I was AWARE that although I was doing these things "I" wasn't here.

It was a wonderful restful feeling, kind of felt like I was having an overhaul or a presribed rest of some sort, ................. anyone had something similar?

Your thoughts on what it could be would be interesting.

I'm back now from my hols and feel (literally) like I've been on a peaceful, contemplative holiday..........................and it didn't cost me a penny !! :cool:

Peace and LOVE to you all.

Hi Star1111~ This sounds a lot like what Inelia says she experienced in the final week of August, when she was made aware that a Shift had occurred. From what she explained, she feels her soul had to be separate from her body in order to tolerate this shift because she is such an empath, it would have been too painful for her to experience otherwise... <sorry I can't find the thread she started to provide the link :(( > Great post...Thanks for sharing!!!

Hi Star1111 I posted a similar experience on another thread here a few days ago . I will paste it here.

Re: What Is Your 'Unusual Experience' Story?
I had a very strange experience about 20 years ago when I was suffering from tooth ache or an abscess around my front tooth. I can't remember which but I don't think that is important at all. Anyway I was giving my wife a lift into the town centre and was intending to get some medication for the extreme pain I was having. I couldn't find a close parking place so I ended up dropping her off close to where she was going and agreed to meet up at a nice cafe. I drove round and round and had difficulty finding a parking place, and so I ended up about a mile down the hill. So I started walking to the cafe where we agreed. I can remember holding my face with my hand as the pain was getting unbearable. I couldn't find a chemist shop though and remember thinking to myself I cannot stand this pain much longer and I thought I might pass out (faint or something) then to my surprise there was NO PAIN at all. I was now walking on level ground. I thought to myself well thank God for that. Now my next thought was wait a minute there is something not quite right with my perception here. I have a good part of me missing. Yes Missing, NOT THERE, Caput gone. I had an Idea what it was but surely I couldn't have lost my SOUL no I can't have lost that. However, my main attention was looking at people walking towards me and having absolutely NO EMPATHY with them at all. I am a person who likes most people that I see for the first time, the ones I don't like I always know them. I remember a lady walking towards me pushing a pram and two other small children she was trying to hold on to. I felt NO SYMPATHY to her in the slightest. Which is not my normal way of being. I seemed to have no empathy for anyone but neither did I dislike them in any way. Just totally neutral towards them. I then thought this is how assassins must be. That was the nearest I could explain this.Dozens of people walked past me. Same no feeling whatever towards them nothing at all. I thought to myself just as the cafe was in sight, **** what I want now is my feelings for people to return to me I can't stand this feeling of being in the assassin mode. As quick as the pain left me it returned again and so too did my soul or whatever return. I thanked God again for the return of my soul AND for the pain which incidentally didn't seem as bad as it had been. Does anyone have a clue what happened to me that day?

Your experience may have to do with the pain neuronal pathways in the brain and the emotions neuronal pathways. You wanted to block the pain, which happened through will purpose, and at the same time emotions were blocked because their center is connected to the pain centers in the brain.

Here an article:
Many areas of the brain are involved in the experience of pain. These areas have been thought to form a distributed pain-processing 'neuromatrix' centred on the portions of the cerebral cortex related to the sense of touch. However, a new view suggests that specific pain centres exist, which have evolved from a primitive system of the brain that controls the health of the body, or body physiology. The overlap between these areas and emotion-processing regions of the brain could explain the peculiarly human subjective qualities of pain.

It may not have been anything mystical, but it surely made you appreciate life. So everything is fine.

Thank you Flash for commenting on my post. I have, over the years thought similar reasons as you suggested. As far as I am aware E-motions come and go all the time through our bodies. Do the e-motions have a constant flow such as a tap running or do they come and go in waves as such? Whilst I was in this time frame of approximately 15 minutes or so my mind was aware of my lost feelings ALL the time and the non-feeling was certainly there constantly. There is certainly a correlation between my pain register and the feeling part of me. So, if I was void of pain, void of empathy would necessarily accompany this. Hmm.. When I was looking at people there was ONLY a mental image without heart being involved. You could say I was without heart. Like an automaton. My human nature had left me. I may have looked like a human walking along but I didn't feel like one at all. I could easily have pretended I was and fooled anyone I am sure. I am sure George W and Tony Bliar are like this most of the time whilst knowing their actions are killing thousands of people. I suppose when I think about it I also didn't possess any conscience either. So what I found was missing was; feelings for others, heart and conscience above all. My thinking was not in any way impaired other than what usually accompanies it. I loosely called it soul.

Thanks Aranuk - what an unusual experience you had.
Mine wasn't pain related. It lasted for about 2 days and 2 nights - very peaceful, calm feeling.
I'm back now and I think I prefered wherever I went to to here!
