Guided by Lydia, the Spirit of My Great-Grandmother

Illustration by PJ Science in Tromsø 2007

I have always had a keen ability to know things about plants, just as explained in the entry Plant Affinity, more specifically I think I partially inherited my plant Affinity from my own great-grandmother Lydia, the other half of my skill and uncanny knowledge of herbal lore I know come directly from interacting with my great-grandmother that guide and watch over me.

I have never known my great-grandmother since she passed away before I was even born, but like me she was a psychic, a scholar of her time in all sorts of plants and medicinal uses there of. Lydia was also known for her strong will and for being way ahead of her time in many things.

Long ago my great-grandmother Lydia told my mother Siw, who was still only a young girl, that she would have a child that would have a future in research and plants like her. Lydia was so certain that I had a great destiny ahead, that she set up a trust-fund, with some money to be released when I turned 18, and also told my parents that she wanted for me to inherit all her money when she passed away, and that it was already set up to place all her money into the trust-fund.

Just like she had foreseen I went into science, doing research on plants, unfolding the mysteries of genetics, I do believe she saw something and went ahead with that hunch. The money from the trust combined with the inheritance has made it possible for me to pursue research of plant genetics and biochemistry.

The strongest example I have of how I felt great-grandmother Lydia helping me was a few years ago when I almost died, and my life literally flashed before my eyes (read: When My Life Flashed Before My Eyes ) aiding me in finding out what I needed in order to help myself get better.

Synchronicity and Unsynchronicity

Illustration by PJ 2005

Synchronicity is defined as two or more unrelated events that seemingly seem to be connected or end up connected in a unexplainable way.

Like so much else synchronicity and unsynchronicity range from the normal non-paranormal coincidental events of bad and good luck and circumstantial oddities of statistical probabilities. What put synchronicity into the field of paranormality is when it is combined with a strong feeling of fate and a faith that there is something more going on. In those respects is it similar to coincidences which on their own does not carry with them a paranormal element as described in the entry called Coincidences, Umberellas and Cars, and the entries of unlucky numbers like 13 Myth or Reality? and Curses, Evil Eyes, Hexes and Jinxes which deals more towards unsynchonicity, another example that could be described as an example of synchronicity is in the entry Abundance, where a chakra candle was used to change the synchronicity. All it is all part of the same cosmic flow of energy of the external and internal consciousness.

In my own life I have had the feeling of something being synchronized and that this is the time to act upon this as the window of opportunity is there and one could then fortieth it or jump on it, luckily I have always been blessed with being on the better side of synchronicity, and even in times when one feel like one is trapped out of ones synchronicity one would know where to head in order to get back into the positive side of things, similar to how omens (Omens in a Coffee Cup) could work as the type of warning to avoid or at least limit the impact of a bad upcoming streak of unsynchronicity.

If one looks at the possibilities for positive and negative events that could affect your life at any moment of time, you will have a high probability of nothing major to happen either way, and some possibility of more rare things and also an extremely small probability of extraordinary things to happen to you, this is where synchronicity comes in as it deals with adjusting the probability by notifying you that something is about to happen, and if you do things right or wrong it would be a turning point in that instant of time. May this be winning a big lottery by feeling inspired to use a special non-random number like ones phone number or avoid an early demise from a freak accident by ducking down at that very instant due to an inner feeling or such.

In some aspects synchronicity is one of the few phenomenas where anybody can greatly influence their own synchronicity, each and every time one do anything this triggers a new wave of synchronic ripples that cascades and reechoes touching and rippling the synchronicity of others. When I think about it astrology probably follow much of the same pattern of thought as the modern term Synchronicity describe, only in astrology one is using the spheres of the stars in the Kodiak, the Moon and the planets to tune in to your personal synchronicity or if you want your personal karma, destiny or opportunity.

A Psychic Experience by Stephanie B

Illustration by PJ 2006

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I believe that I may be psychic, (wow that's hard for me to say). I know that I am an Empath; I have been extremely empathic all my life. I found that out at a very early age.  As for premonitions or psychic experiences, I have had a few before this experience but have dismissed them off as either de ja veu or coincidence. The story that I'm about to tell is going to be the first time I have ever talked about it openly to a stranger or to any sort of organization.  I've only told this to people who are very close to me, or immediate family. I probably would have never been able to really open up or accept my abilities had it not been for me getting in contact with someone who was actually there and witnessed firsthand, what I went through and what had actually happened and can fill in some of the blanks.  It is only now, 10 years later, that I am trying to accept and come to terms with my experiences and try to gain some sort of control over them.

This was a horrific experience for me and very confusing to explain. Whenever I try to explain what was happening to me and what I experienced, I begin to re-live it. It was all emotion and that in itself is hard to describe, but I will do my best.  My friend James, who was my boyfriend at the time, is helping me with this story and has written his own account of this experience.

This all takes place in Phoenix, AZ, a couple of weeks leading up to the tragedy of 9/11. I had two different psychic experiences during this period.  One was an out of body experience but I will leave that for another time.  I will concentrate on the one that has stayed with me for all this time.  I remember it as being only a few days before 9\11, but I've been told it was actually a few weeks.  It started slowly; I didn’t even realize it at first.  I would just be thinking of a place, you know when you can’t remember a word or a name?  I would ask James “what’s a town in Pennsylvania?”  He would answer but it would not be right.  Then New York City would pop into my mind out of nowhere.  

This went on about a week with growing frequency.  Then an overwhelming desire to write things down took me over and I began to scribble franticly in a notebook.  At the time, I felt I had no choice but to write, to figure out a puzzle of some sort, and I had to do it fast because time was running out.  I had to get people to listen to me and see what I was doing. I felt increasing fear and terror, for I felt if I did not figure it out and get someone to help there would be serious consequences. 

I still remember what it felt like and what was happening like it was yesterday.  Time had no meaning, I actually thought it was only a few days, but come to find out it was a few weeks before 9/11.   I felt like I was getting pieces like clues, as if someone was desperately trying to tell me something.  They were frantic and needed my help so I tried to help them.  It was almost as though they knew me because they would remind me of certain happenings in my life like a past memory, and in that memory was a clue as to what I needed to help.  The only way I could make sense of it was to write what the clues that I got were, almost like a tree. 

I had to use deductive reasoning so to speak, the problem was it was too much to handle all at once.  Emotions and clues were bombarding me all at once so my writing would become tangled up on each other.   When I would feel I was close to figuring one clue out, then there were more and different clues. It became difficult to distinguish between the clues in my writings.

It was the worst experience in my lifetime. When I would come to a conclusion, from where I don’t know, I would try and explain it to someone.  James mostly, I would show him the paper and tell him that something was going to happen there!  I was frightened and determined, he listened, and looked at what I was doing and tried to be patient but all in all he really thought I was nuts at the time. I remember even explaining to him how I knew that something was going to happen, he would ask me what is going to happen, and I didn't know.  I just knew it was something bad. My memory of those weeks leading up to 9/11 and what was going on around me is limited, mostly what I remember is the panic and the feeling of despair.  

I was running out of time, someone had to listen to me, I was so consumed with the emotion of it all, I barely knew what was going on around me.  This continued with increasing frequency for 2 weeks or so.  I've never felt so helpless in my entire life.  I began to tell people that something bad was going to happen in New York, the Liberty Tree, and some place in Pennsylvania.  I would tell James over and over until he would repeat it back to me, but I still didn’t know what would happen.  After a while no one except James would listen to me and even he was just humoring me.  That didn’t stop me from continuing my mantra about New York, the Liberty Tree, and Pennsylvania.  I would mutter those three things over and over whether anyone was listening or not. 

On the night of September 10^th, not being able to sleep, James and I walked around for hours thru our neighborhood all night.  As I still tried to convince him that something was going to happen, he humored me and explained that he couldn't do anything unless he had more information.  As he finally calmed me down somewhat to go home, that is when we saw the helicopters and received the news.  After receiving the news, things become very hazy.  I ran away from James, he lost sight of me, and I have no recollection of that time so I’m not sure of the events at that point.  I did realize eventually that I had predicted the tragedy, although I denied it to myself for a long time.  I ended up disappearing from my home in AZ and left to California.  

The psychic experiences continued to happen for about a year after that and that's why I left to try and get away from it.  It’s been 10 years and I still have a hard time believing it, a couple of years after 9/11 I started accepting that I had some sort of a vision. I thought I was the only one who used writing and free association.  It was astounding to me to find out that there are others who do the same and they even have a name for it (free writing) I think.  Every 9/11 I have a hard time accepting it and I still doubt what I did and try and tell myself that I was crazy, there is a perfectly logical reason for all this but the more I think on it the more I can’t find one.  I recently came back into contact with James and we've talked about it and he has confirmed it, I was not crazy.  He remembers it exactly the way I do with a little more detail. I'm still not sure if that was the answer I was looking for.  But for now I've decided that it would be best for me to embrace the gift, and try and control it and myself so I will never have to feel the terror anything like that again.

Thank you for your time, I appreciate your site very much.  You’re doing a wonderful service for those of us who have stories to tell.

Stephanie B.

An Interesting True Empathic Psychic Experience

I used to be a skeptic of all things psychic in nature.  That all changed with the tragedy of 9/11, where I witnessed my own psychic experience.  It was late August 2001 when my girlfriend started saying three things repeatedly.  Something bad is going to be happening in New York City, the Liberty Tree, and some place in Pennsylvania.  She would recite these three things over and over again, getting more frantic as she did. All my friends and I just thought she was crazy.  It kept getting worse and more frequent up to the night of September 10th. 

That night my girlfriend and I walked the neighborhoods all night while I tried to calm her down.  Just as I got her calm, it came on the news about the twin towers, which sent her off the deep end once again.  With the shock of the incident, I didn't really piece together what she had been saying for the past three weeks.  But when I did the shock was tremendous.  She had accurately predicted the 9/11 incident including the plane going down in the Pennsylvania countryside. This experience changed my life forever.  I can no longer be skeptical about psychic experiences all though I don't have complete answers of my own.

There was recorded a very significant increase in psychic predictions of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and one of our friends (Nina of Norway) also had experiences in the months and weeks ahead of 9/11, for her story check out:  9/11 A Norwegians Foresight Story

Anger Triggered Premonitions

Being a psychic sometimes bring glimpses of a future one do not want to see come into effect, often in the form of a flash of information showing a near possible future, which would be put in effect if one follow trough with a emotional response like pushing someone.

So far I have always backed away whenever I see this kind of premonitions, since one would hate to see a loved one injured because of a rash act in the heat of the moment, like giving someone a push which could have caused them to fall and get seriously injured even die. Perhaps if more people would see the cause and effect before it actually happens such heat of the moment accidents would been less in our world.

A few times I have used premonitions in self-defense, one example of this happened in Norway a few years ago, a group of three guys followed me and was making threats, I ignored them and followed my same walk while they followed, and this was during the winter so it was really slippery. In the premonition I knew that the leader of the three would come forward in front of me trying to trip me and in doing so I could easily disable him by pushing my leg a few inches to the side in the instant he would do so, and behold, as the premonition came through I could without any effort trip the guy that was trying to trip me, causing him to slip and fall on the ice, and the other two joined him falling while trying to help him up. The three thugs never tried to approach me again.

My mother has also described similar premonitions and how she used it to break up bar brawls between guys two and three times her size, knowing exactly what they were going to do and how to counter it in order to make the premonition cause both parts to be immobilized with almost no effort, and also at the same time causing the bullies to be paralyzed in surprise.

Dreams of Tragedy and Impending Danger

My sister has a knack of dreaming of tragedy. Even as a child she would wake up and mention a dream  she had and in a few days it would work out. One time she dreamed that I was in a car accident and was in serious condition in the hospital as a result of that car accident and sure enough. three days after her dream I was indeed in the hospital, in serious condition from injuries from a car accident earlier that day.

We were both close to our Mother. My sister lived in another state then Mom and I lived in. Mom was elderly and sick in the hospital with heart and kidney failure. Sis called me at the house and while crying she told me she had a dream that our Mother passed away. I told her to calm down and that I would go right to the hospital and check in on Mom. The hospital was only a few blocks away and I was just there 2 hours before my sister called telling me about her dream and our Mother was not in good condition but, the doctor had told me he was confident she would pull through. I hung the phone up from talking with sis and as I reached for my car keys  so I could go to the hospital, The phone rang. I answered it shaking and trembling because I was afraid it was the hospital calling me. The call was indeed from the hospital and the nurse told me that my Mother had just passed away and I should come to the hospital to collect her personal belongings.

Another time my sister had a dream about our cousin who was expecting her first child, having problems with her pregnancy. About a week after her dream,  we received a phone call from our cousin's husband saying that our cousin had a miscarriage.

Through out my sister's life, she, at times, could dream of a tragedy or danger before it happens to a family member or close relative. If that ability is a gift or a real burden she says, she has not decided that as of yet.

Paranormal Phenomena: Vardøger

The paranormal activity that I have experienced is more than any other is what in Norway is called vardøger, a vardøger is a spirit predecessor and is considered to be a form of bi-location, and it is when one hear a person before they arrive, and it is said that this is their vardøger, spirit predecessor or spirit follower that appear a few minutes ahead of the person it is preceding. For some reason this type of phenomena seem to be typical in Scandinavia but almost unknown in the rest of the world.

Growing up everybody in my house would frequently hear the sounds of people on their way before they actually get there, the sound of the knocking on the door, removing of outer clothes, shoes and such in the hallway, and with experience one could even know exactly whom the vardøger is for, since it would follow the exact habits of is double. For example I would always hear my grandmothers vardøger as her entering the hallway, brushing off sand of her shoes, entering the inner hallway while carrying a pile of wood before entering into the kitchen refilling first the wood pile before opening the kitchen wood stove and filling it before it ever happened.

One would enter the kitchen to find it empty before again hearing everything in repeat as my real grandmother enters and does everything in order just as her vardøger did.

My uncles, aunts, brother, parents, other grandparents, friends of the family and even guests one had never met before would also have the vardøger enter or park outside in their car before their actual arrival.

Itching hands and Other Financial Old Wives Tales

In Norway there is an old saying that when your mouth start itching in the end this is a sign that money is on its way and with money, comes food and since food goes into your mouth it cause it to itch as a premonition of what is yet to come. Another one my mother and my grandparents always told me and anyone else they see letting this happen that they should never leave a loaf of bread on its back, it is supposed to be a certain sign, or opening up for bad financial times to come. In the US I heard they also talk about keeping loafs of bread on it's backside not because of money, but because of it being a symbol of life, and putting it on its back is putting your back on God.

When I went to the east coast of the United States I ran into others who believe  about money, and premonitions and omens thereof. My family here told me that having the palms of my hands itching and the cause was not of eczema, mosquito bites or other type of irritation, it was a certain sign that money would be on it's way. These types of sayings or old wise tales have always interested me, most of them have some grains of truth in them.

A modern concept in this category is chain letters that promise financial success, or financial disaster if one break the chain. Money seem to be a favored theme both back in ancient times, and in our modern world, as it is such a important part of our lives.

Here is another one I found interesting when I got to the US. Since I had never heard anything similar about it before, other than in Donald Duck cartoon stories. If you find a penny and it is heads up, it is a penny of luck, but it would not work its luck before you give it away to someone. This is a much more general saying but in our materialistic world money and luck is considered to be closely connected. This one is also about pennies and it is unquestionable true. Wrap a penny in paper and carry it with you and you will never go broke. True it is not much but as long as you have it with you it would be self-fulfilling.

Another one I found people talking about, if you keep picking up burnt matches instead of leaving them around one will find money. While  I am on the subject of burning, I also found one that goes like this, while peeling onions instead of throwing away the peel, burn it and you will never go empty handed.

Other sayings are more directed on what one could do on specific days like At Midnight of New Years Eve, while holding money in one hand, kneel down and pray and you shall have money the remaining of the new year. Or If you make money on Monday, keep it and the amount will increase during the rest of the week.

Shooting stars seem to be another universal topic, in Norway they are often surrounded by mystery and a promise to be able to grant wishes. Here is a different example of the powers attributed to shooting stars. If you see a shooting star, say Money, MONEY, Money and you will soon receive some.

The last example I am bringing up is this one, if you see bubbles in the rain, you will receive a lot of money. I would love to hear other examples of old wives tales, sayings or promises like the ones I brought up, as I mentioned before, I always found this interesting, and it does bring a deeper understanding how people used to think, and still do in the form of the modern urban myths, as talked about in my earlier entry 13th Myth or reality, though I think that in the cases when the sayings come true, it is more coincidental than anything else.

Ghost of my dead younger Brother

I have had many paranormal experiences during my life. I am not a pro at it, It comes to me when it wants to do so and not when I may want it too. Also, there are different ways it may come to me. I may get a message  by way of a dream or, I may be totally awake and a still photo of some sort might pop in my mind. I have been visited and talked to a very good friend two years after he died. (Talking with a dead friend)
Years later, I had a surprise visit from my mother five years after she died (Sightings of deceased family members). Then around the same time, I had just been to the doctor and the doctor had told me he felt I might have a certain type of cancer and he had ordered a test at the hospital.

The afternoon after I had the test and was awaiting the results, I was standing out on my porch. I heard a noise and looked up and there was a young man standing across the street. I saw him and he could talk but as I looked at him I could see through him. I was confused and a little upset because I recognized him. It was my younger brother who died as a child many years ago. I could tell it was him in the apparition form. He waved at me and said hello to me and he told me he was here to let me know that all would be OK and that I would be OK.

That is not the first time I have seen my little brother, you all might think I am crazy but I assure you he has visited me in the past before, the first time was when I was living in San Francisco. Strange as it might sound when I spotted this young guy across the street I knew it was my own little brother looking back at me. He just stood there and looked and that was all.

I See but I Don't want to

Illustration by PJ

This the retold story from my 22 year old friend Jean from Tennessee, and she gave me permission to present her story to you. -Gary

I was just like every other happy well adjusted girl in their 20s. All except I knew things. I even saw some things that I didn't want to see. When my dad was killed in a car accident, I saw that two days before it happened. I even told him what I saw and he drove that day anyway and he was killed in a car accident.

I had a boy friend when I was 20. we actually started going out when I was 18. He was the love of my life. However, when i was 20 I was eating with a good friend of mine at Burger King one afternoon, all of a sudden, I got a picture in my mind of my boyfriend kissing another girl. Exactly eight days later I walked in on my boyfriend and another girl kissing and they were in a very comprising position.

I was also able to see where my mother lost her job when I was only 15 years old and she did indeed  get let go from her job  due to downsizing. I knew ahead of time that my aunt would have a heart-attack.

All my life I could from time to time see some tragedy that would happen to me or a family member. The problem is, It is always something bad that I see, never anything good or happy. For that reason, I would rather not get these visions. I do not have to be asleep. They are not dreams it is that all of sudden I will get a picture in my head and what ever it is I see will soon happen!

My meeting with Jeane Dixon, the Psychic

I hear so often that when a psychic makes a call and if it does not turn out just exactly as the psychic said it would, then you hear what a fake this person claiming to be a psychic is. Well my friends, that is just not the case at all. First off we have to understand that a prediction is just that a prediction. it does not mean that it will happen exactly as stated by the person making the prediction. Some of the best known psychics the world over have had predictions that came partly true. This happens because when a psychic sees something that ends up as a prediction, there are several things he or she sees. It is not like they see exactly that will happen.

One could write whole books including all the predictions that Jeane Dixon made which came true and all those that came true half way or not at all, being one of the most famed psychics of the 20th century. but my story is not of the media famed well known predictions, but a reading made to me and a friend directly, one which came true in every way, just as Jeane Dixon predicted.

A friend and I decided to make an appointment with Jeane Dixon to ask her a few questions. We went to Washington DC and talked with Jeane Dixion. It was NOT a pleasant reading at all. My friend and I were looking to start a business together and we simply wanted some good advice from Ms. Dixon and we knew she was doing readings for Nancy Reagen at the time and we thought that was good enough for us. During the reading, My friend was asked to leave the room for a few minutes. he did as requested. During that time of him being ut of the room Ms. Dixon told me that someday I may indeed have my own business but that my friend and I would never be in business together.

I ask her why she said that and she replied to me that she saw his life in grave danger. It would be related to a sporting type accident. Now, she did not actually say he would die but she did say his life was in grave danger She said she saw this happening the last two weeks of November or the first two weeks of December. We called my friend back into the room and we talked to him about this. My friend said that if he saw any danger he would indeed be careful but until that time he was just going to live his life. This was the later part of October. November came and went without and bad things happening. However, towards the end of the first week of December. My good friend had an accident as he and another friend of his were four-wheeling. They both died in that accident. It was well within the time limit set by Ms. Dixion.

This situation should act as proof that every psychic can be right and wrong at the same time or partially correct or not correct at all. I agree that there are many fakes that claim to be psychic. However, I know Jeane Dixion was not one of the fake ones. I am very sorry that she was correct but it did prove tome that this lady had a God given gift. A lot also depends on how strong the person is towards his or her powers, how that person handles their power and how well trained they are in dealing with their powers. Most psychics never see what they predict as from start to finish. like a movie or video. Most will only see bits and parts like flashes and they have to sort it all out and put them things in order. So, my friends, that is the main reason for a psychic to be wrong or at least partially wrong. however, being wrong does not mean they are a fake.

Psychometry - Object Reading and Flashes

This one is from TJ in Norway, sharing her experience with flashes of information when handling objects.

I have the ability to get glimpses or flashes of information when handling objects or even from people. Usually the flash of information is minor, and usually of an emotional nature, showing a glimpse in my minds-eye showing the people involved in a objects past, when it comes to people it is more complicated one usually get a flash of emotions of what they are going through at the moment. Other times it seem to be strong emotions that have not happened yet like death in immediate family.

I have even experienced flash of information while picking up a movie to check out it's cover where one in the briefness of a flash see the whole plot of the movie in an instant. for this reason I never pick up a horror flick unless I have emotionally prepared myself to handle the shock of getting all the horror in one flash. This is the only form of control I have, to be totally open in order to receive and recall more of an potential flash, or to close my self up in order to be protected of which one get very little or nothing. The psychometry is usually not triggered at all though, and very seldom do one get more than one flash from handling one object.

The most useful part that I personally have of my psychometry comes to flights, whenever I pick up an airline ticket for myself or someone else I have always gotten an immediate flash showing the course of flight from start to finish, this have even kept me out of harms way on two different occasions where I changed my flight due to the flashes.
