Posted: 02-11-2012 22:36 Post subject: A few things what happened to me.. |
|
|
|
These are three things that I experienced that I'll share for anyone interested.
The first I can't actually remember happening, it was just always told to me by my parents. When I was very young (I'm guessing maybe 3 or so) I drew a picture with crayons. It was obviously very crude, but my parents are adamant that it was a drawing of the devil, at least the version based on the Pagan Puck, complete with horns etc. They are also convicned that I'd never actually seen a picture of the devil, or had heard him described etc. My parents were heavily into the philosophies of Rudolph Steiner, and I later attended a Rudolph Steiner school, so such influences were shielded from me. According to Steiner philosophy you have to be 16 before you are allowed to draw in black and white as it is supposedly a negative influence.
The second was when I was 11 or so. I don't know what its called, but I had a material thing that you put a balloon inside to make a very light ball. By this point I must have bveen aware of some sort of telekinesis or something, because I was trying to move this object with my mind. The windows were shut. and the door was shut at the other end of the room. Nothing was happening and in my impatience I got angry. I can't remember the entire episode very well because I was a dreamy type even for my age. But the ball definitely moved by itself, very dramatically, violently even, perhaps moving up the wall but I can't say for sure. Whatever it did it really scared me, I ran out of the room, noticing at the time, or remembering later that nobody was outside, and even had they been they would have been unable to create enough of a draught to move the ball in such a way. I went to my mother and later plucked up the courage to tell her what had happened, whereupon I was harshly scolded for my stupidity. My mother is a firm believer in spirits and the like, and she was angry with me for trying to conjure them or whatever it was I was doing. A lot of it I feel I can't remember because I tried hard to block it all from my mind at the time.
Lastly, later yet, when I was a teenager, my mother lived in the countryside. One night I went out on a fairly clear night and saw a light moving across the sky. It was moving slowly so I assumed it to be either a shooting star or a plane, but then it stopped. As I was pondering whether it was a harrier jet, or a helicopter that was able to stop dead like that, it very quickly shot off in almost the direction it had come from. I have no idea how high it was, but my feeling at the time was that any conventional aircraft could not have moved that fast. to cover that distance it would have had to be very near to me, and I could hear no noise whatsoever, and no sonic boom following. If it was high enough not to hear it then I don't know how it travelled so fast. I don't think it could have been a meteorite from the fact it stopped and changed direction.
Any discussion of or explanation for any of these experiences would be appreciated. |

The light in the sky sounds like the classic earthlight type thing, quite common for UFO sightings but there could be a few explanations, some more rational (high up helicopter?) than others (plasma ball with a mind of its own?). Probably too late to find out the truth of it now.
Your psychic episode with the ball, you say you got angry, could it be you were so incensed that you lashed out at it physically rather than mentally but in your agitated state you thought you'd developed telekinesis? Just musing... |

I don't fully comprehend what earthlights are to be honest, I'm open to the idea but if they have anything to do with earthquakes or active volcanoes this was in the UK there was nothing like that there. It was too far south to see the Northern lights as well. The light looked like a star, apart from the fact it was moving. At first I thought it was a shooting star, until it stopped. I am not very good at estimating distances or speed etc, so it could be a satellite that can move outwith its orbital path, but as I say it was very very fast. And yeah sadly those were pre-net days (at least as far as I was concerned) so I never got round to reporting it. Though my anus did sting a bit. Joke! No offence to any lurking et's!

I think what happened was that I hit it and it bounced around, but it carried on for much longer than one might expect. To be honest I can't really remember the whole event very well, but I had a definite impression of the ball defying gravity and seemingly moving of its own accord. Then again it was a very light object, essentially just a balloon with a light cover. I'm not a nuclear physicist, and of course much less so then and of course I was already in the state of mind of half expecting to see something 'supernatural'. |

| i want to ask about the educational system you were enrolled in, as i have never heard of it... black and white drawing has a negative effect? please explain that one...and why, if your mom was open to the paranormal, was she so repressive towards your experiences? there seems to be inconsistency in her response...if the devil drawing was bad juju, why was the tale repeated to you after you would have been expected to have forgotten it? |

There's plenty of seismic activity in the UK. I was awake for an 'earthquake' (more like tremor, really, I suppose) that happened late one night here, a few years ago. |

| No active volcanoes, though! But yeah, earthlights don't even need seismic activity to occur, not that anyone really knows what they are, it's just another theory for the pile. |

Rudolf Steiner was basically a spiritualist type whose writings have been influential amongst a sort of new-agey hippy diaspora. He foudned the Waldorf School (in the UK its just called the Rudolph Steiner school and there are several of them in various cities, mine being the one in Edinburgh). They have various philosophies based on Steiners teachings, to be honest I always hated the whole 'scene' so I never learnt much about the philosophies behind it, you can read about him on wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Steiner ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthroposophy
This is the background my mum was working from, the good and bad karma type thing. I think it was my dad that told me later on. Since then she has chilled out a bit, when I was young she refused to let us watch television, use computers, eat foods with additives etc. Now she has a computer (shes never off the net) tv, ipod etc etc so she must have gone to the dark side.  |

Its one of those 'it was moonbeams refracting off cumulonimbus clouds that made 300 people see a flying saucer with lights flashing fly overhead at approx. 500mph' type explanations imo. Maybe its my lack of scientific understanding, but these things often seem less plausible to me that the little green tourists. |

| Not necessarily, you can lump earthlights in with the likes of ball lightning for example, observable phenomena which haven't been adequately explained. |

My little girl is three and when she was only gone two she used to draw some very demonic looking things, it was just her style of drawing everything was quite angular and red and black. As she got a bit bigger the monsters she drew turned out to be fairys, the big black horns had been her babyish way of drawing wings I think little children love drawing in dark colours as they are so contrasting to the paper. Im not saying that was the case for you but I know we were a bit disturbed by our little girls horrible demonic drawings for months and it turned out she was drawing tinkerbell the whole time! |

'Outwith' is in the Scottish English dictionary, so...nothing wrong with it if you're a Scotsman. |

Oh right sorry, for some reason I had the impression they were some new form of the ubiquitous weather balloon

I've got a tendency to try to use 'big words' maybe to seem more intelligent. but it backfires when I don't fully understand their meaning or context..  |
