		<description>Having seen numerous doctors throughout my life about some of the things I’ve experienced

They own up and tell me they can’t help and have no idea what’s going on, one doctor in Ireland a

Doctor Gallagher kept asking me to return so I could tell him more of my experiences.

(I’m sorry if my English is not very good so please bear with me)

I’ve gone as far as to talk to priest and mediums out of curiosity to see what they might say, the priest always relate to Jesus and God which is what I expected.

One Medium by the name of Lillian Gibb and so I’ve been told the leader of 26 spiritual churches throughout Ireland and Scotland tried to lure me in with how she could see spirits around me  Seven of them to be exact, but of course I knew this not to be true..

I have given up on help and what to do because there is no one who can explain my experiences

And what they are or mean.

So here we go I will explain as best as I can some of these experiences and see what you think.

But a bit about myself first then maybe you can piece together what’s happening.

 I am 44 years old and so I’ve been informed born two and a half months premature.

I couldn’t talk until I was 5 years old and when I did  my words came out backwards ,I would rock valiantly uncontrollably and bite myself until I bled.

I was born completely deaf in my left ear and had a terrible tick up until I was about 20 years old.

Because they knew nothing much about Autism or Aspergers in the 60s then my behaviour was put down to ‘’he’s just slow because he can’t hear so well in his left ear’’

I use to as a child point to telephone cables and say to my mother 17 and she would quickly count the birds and sure enough there would be 17 I would know how many without counting, I find I can still do this if I’m fast enough, it’s the only way I can explain it, if I don’t think about it then the numbers come up in my head.

On the hour I will know what the time is, it’s a trick my girlfriend is sick of seeing I guess it doesn’t have much use other than I feel the time and even when I’m in the middle of conversations I’m drawn to a clock somewhere in the room,apparently there are only 150 people in the world that can do this, all these people have a problem with their left frontal lobe with Asperegers or Autism.

Before I could even talk I would lie in my bed and feel like the room was moving or vibrating this happened a few times before I realized it was me that was vibrating, of course I had no idea what was going on and thought nothing of it, this would happen several times a year, and I would say it slowed down to once in a blue moon as I got older.

In 1991 I was living in Spain I went to bed on what I thought was just an ordinary night, I lead down and curled up to sleep when the vibrating returned, I was 26 years old and thought to myself for some reason ok I’m not scared I’m just going to relaxe and I did, the next thing I know is I’m floating onto the floor, I was conscious to everything that was going on, I knew that it was me that  had floated into the corner of the room, before I knew it I also realized that I was laying in my bed and could see myself standing in the corner at the same time, I wasn’t scared and couldn’t move a muscle, I was able to observe what was going on and (Think)but there was nothing I could do, my spirit was looking back at me and then came back to my bed as slow as it had escaped from my body it returned again.

I have no idea what you think about this but something that I did learn was, I had no idea what was happening and then my spirit came back into my body ,this to me means ‘’you will only because you have a spirit.’ I had no idea how to return to my body so something else must have willed it back.

I spent the next 15 years having hundreds of out of body experiences, different ones from bilocasional O.B.E to spirits lying by my side.

I still have out of body experience but have learnt allot more about them, I can’t sleep in certain positions and as some of my ex-girlfriends and wife have seen I sometimes go into a trance where I can be fully conscience of what’s going on with my eyes open and have well let’s just say lots of activitie going on’

For years I would be so scared to lay down not just at night but even in the day, it’s even worse in the day, imagine a grown man crying in the corner of a room well that was me for a while and then I understood whatever it was that’s going on would never harm me, and it never did or will.

A few more quick stories.

When I was 13years old I sat down at my Auntie house some200 miles from where I lived, my mother had a long battle with Cancer five years in all, whilst I was sat in the kitchen I had what I can only explain as a warm feeling that crossed my chest at that exact moment my mother had just passed away and I felt it 200 miles away.

In 1996 my father telephoned me where I was living at the time Falkenberg Sweden  he was telephoning from England.

It wasn’t like him at all to phone like he did well anyway he asked how I was and so on, he finished the conversation with take care son. I went back to my friends sat down next to my best friend at the time Olaf and told him that my father would be dead within a week, sure enough he died of a heart attack his one and only one, and it killed him outright.

I could talk to you forever about my experiences, there is much more that I’ve not mentioned

But the more I say the wackier that it all sounds.

The funny thing is I am not religious not at all and I do believe in science and always have done but science would be very ignorant to think it knows everything and if it does humanity has big problems, we don’t really know much about the spirit it’s a phenomena for now until those so called people who matter more than I speak up and say it’s so.

So faith or experience, they both have there floors, faith is something you hold onto and hope it sees you through it’s neither here or there. Whilst experience is something we all have individually and once it’s shared you have to then hope other  people believe you. If someone has not had an out of body experience then why should they believe them , I know I wouldn’t and don’t blame others when they don’t.

And that my friend is a huge problem for myself because there is no one out there who really understands and has the right knowledge about what is going on.

That’s why I’m conversing with you now because I’m always looking for an answer.

 I’m happy that you contacted me I’m sorry if I upset your facts but I had to say something when I saw what you wrote.

What would you do if you were me?

I have no idea where you might have got your facts from about the spirit interesting although not true.

”The only thing that is not moving is the spirit” 

The spirit co-exist inside of us via movement strange i know but by vibrating so brilliantly it fits in our bodys perfectly,it goes unnoticed you could say.

Also the spirit co-exist in other dimensions where it is always on the move strange again i know but it can be in more than one place at the same time.

”The spirit is the creater of all thoughts”

Thinking is a vessel for thoughts it’s the mechanism to which all animals are tuned into via instinct and nature, animals think instinctiveley we humans think instinctiveley and metaphorically.

When the spirit is seperate from the body it is still possible for the brain or body to think.
It is not the spirit that thinks like your facts say.

If you have any questions to how i might know all this don’t hesitate to contact my email…rudywright@gmail.com&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So in your opinion what is more valid experiance or faith?

Without thinking one cannot conceptuallize the idea of a spirit. 
So if you cant make an idea of a spirit is it really there?
Whats to say you have a spirit maybe you do maybe you dont.

To finish off for now what evidence do you have to support your thoughts unless you have been able to experiance the existance of the spirit.

(btw im not trying to sound scientific but i want to see if its possible to throw back the evidence you use to support yourself)</description>

		<description>mmm.... this is an interesting blog and an interesting post to come across. no title nothing... just a BOLD &#039;I believe in the human spirit&#039; statement. 

Good for you, Jim!

There is NO denying it. Everyday in my healing practice I am reminded that we are spiritual beings with a human experience, and not the other way around. 

It is amazing how many of us are wrapped up most of the time in this human experience and sheer trivia within that.  

Oh yes, I can daily find myself there, with the rest of you all.   None is beyond spiritual healing which relates us to who we truly are within.</description>

		<description>I have often wondered as an adult about life after death as I am sure most human beings do. As a child I spent a lot of time in the church but never felt like I was getting the message that so many there were getting. As an adult I started asking questions to religious folks and it seem to be the same old thing. GOD created all things and no real explanation on life after death; except that god will reclaim your soul and take you to a kingdom in heaven. But in my heart I felt more like we are all individual spirits and once the body dies, we move into new born bodies. I lost a person very close to me and felt what I am sure was there spirit come and say good bye. I often dream of the dead and it fills me with closure that they have arrived to their destination. When I dream of the living they are going through something very severe. Also when I think of someone consistently it&#039;s been a sign of serve illness. I feel we as spirits are link in some form or fashion.  thanks to all the previous messages, I have gotten some validation to my concerns.</description>

		<description>I agree with the most  about what you have  said   about  the human spirit! One of the most iportant things to me is truth!  And it is the truth that we are human spirits.And the more truth we will now about the human spirit ,about the laws of life,about why we are here,about our distant past...the more we will be free!</description>

Nice that you had out of body experience. I whish I also had that, lol :)</description>

		<description>Jim, excellent discussion. I love to see people discussing spirituality. 
I think one of the best books I ever read on spirituality, souls and more is a kids book called. &quot;The little soul and the son&quot; by Neale Donald Walsh. He sums it up so simple. On the topic of past lives. I have vivid memories of some of my past lives and definitely feel very tuned into the spirit world and feel my angels and guides by my side whenever I call upon them. The first time i read &quot;Earth Angels&quot; by Doreen Virtue i was entralled with all the different stories, species that she has found to be on our planet. I had also thought some of the same things and found it to be great validation that I wasn&#039;t alone. What a wonderful experience we get to create on planet earth. It&#039;s pretty cool all the choices laid before us and that we get to be co-creators if we please or we can just sit back and allow (not recomended) for the world to create our reality for us! Jim I loved how you said at least two of your sci-fi events came from past lives. My son who is a homeschooler and an avid writer gets alot of his info from his dreams. Me and him both are very avid dreamers with great dream recall. We discuss our dreams regularly. I also have had an outer body experience once that really showed me how when your out of your body, their is no time, anything you think of is instantaneous. Sort of like the movie with Robbin Williams and Cuba Gooding Jr. &quot;What Dreams May Come&quot;. I hope I didn&#039;t bore anyone with my rambling. I don&#039;t usually post to blogs. I actually stumbled upon your page when I listed my store with another site earlier. I followed your link here. Thanks! Carol</description>
