    You've piqued my curiosity. I thought life a biological process.

    Yeeess, yes I do know who I really am. And sometimes it scares me. Other times, I just smile because I'm happy and content :)

    It was told to me by some guy. When he said it, it was an "aha" moment .. one of those blazing fast moments of conception .. where something is suddenly known and understood. Moments like that can be so rare.

    Alluding to it, I'll say this: every dream needs a foundation to stand upon.

    I think that's what sets people on the "I am" path / journey .. a lifetime of having been you you you'd to death. You're this, you're that .. people telling other people all about themselves.

    Then, the "I am" work begins. The person starts knowing who they are for themselves, relying little to none on the inputs of others. After the "I am" stuff is "me". That's when a person finds their true identity. Except we don't talk like this:

    Me had a delicious breakfast today. Me will be going to the store now. lmao

    You do impress me as somebody who has self-possession / self-ownership. Have you ever had the experience of being recognized by others? I mean, strangers. People you don't know, except ..

    Well it's a spiritual thing, I suppose. When people *in their spirit* recognize YOU .. in your spirit.

    There was this girl (young woman) who knew me. It was the strangest thing because we all recognized her (and remembered her). She saw me and was nearly blown away. She was "so happy to have found me" lol. And it was the wildest thing because I recognized her, too. We all did! But our humanness is .. like a big handicap or limitation somehow. We couldn't really connect it in a way that we could've put it into words. But it was so astounding.

    I've had it happen, a lot. There was this one woman in a store. When I walked in, she saw me and put her hand on her heart.. stepped back, closed her eyes and turned her face upward. When I got near to her, she was shaking like a leaf.

    It's really amazing. I suppose I'm craving. Needing and wanting more. Because it's LIFE life. The real good stuff.

    Ha! Life is a song .. a music show .. a stadium and an amphitheater! I can't wait to find out what space aliens think about music.

    I would say that foundation is the mind, your feet the foundation on which you walk, the earth a ball suspended on nothing.

    Yeah, those paved roads. Now what are we going to do? All knowledge and wisdom is lost..

    That's that sarcasm again. Blech! Tastes bad in my mouth.

    YES! I have and its the greatest feeling imho, to feel that connected and understood. Thats the basis of my most personal relationship (the one with my fiancé). Because one of the things I hate most, is to pretend. Or to be uncomfortable as myself… and he sees me and is cool with what he sees. Ha its so funny.

    I've seen others randomly, like strangers. They just come and say something. I've seen it in others too, where I wanted to say something but refrained. I should have spoken up.

    And by the way, thank you. I feel that was a sincere compliment you gave me, I appreciate it :)

    Octopus has more arms, a giraffe more height, a bat more flight and a puppy more charms. None special here but precious all is my call.

    All those intense vibrational energies keep the planets in orbit in their places. The "dance" of the planets (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition).

    Sorry if you answered i skipped a page or 10 but how do you know that is who you truly are? Maybe its just who you think you really are. Might be a dream version of you that you think is the real you.

    I remember the very first time it happened. A bunch of us just hanging out or something, not sure what was going on .. but it was a sudden "seeing" of each other. "I see you!" It is a very amusing thing.

    I once had a ridiculous conversation with a fellow seer, if that's what we're called? I don't know. We were speaking in English but a very different sort of language. The conversation was just flowing and making sense *on that level*. I think it's a matter of the heart, really. I'll always love him, he's one of my favorite people. So glad to have found him lollol

    You're welcome :)

    I think they're described as intuitive. Some people 'just click' with an ease of understanding, doing to at the same pace helps it become seamless. Like-minded people :)

    Do you date this guy? Hmmm ?

    I don't have a dream, or a dream life or a dream version of myself. I never did. I'm a realist, always have been and always will be. I am in the state of *existence*. I used to be in the state of survival. I've been in the state of living .. very, very seldom.

    I exist. Strangest stranger I am hahahaha
