Thanks, Deborah. I know things have been crazy, especially with attacks. :) Gary (GDL is just for my initials). ;)

Deborah, I want to reply to you specifically, because you started this thread. You had more to say, but I had a reaction as I read your original post. It will be very hard to explain. On a very deep level, I feel that this lifetime is a healing of many things for me. I have very strong...

You know, Deborah, I flashed immediately on strength as in "inner strength", but perhaps I should have interpreted it more literally, because as I think about it now, it seems as though "courage" may encompass that idea. Wisdom is harder for me to see as something separate. This is just my...

Deborah, My immediate impression: Courage Wisdom------------------Generosity. Strength I see courage and strength on one part of the cross, wisdom and generosity on the other. Can you have strength without courage? Or the other way around? Another thought: being especially...

That's fascinating. The more characters in a sentence, the easier it is for me to read. Hiragana gives me problems, katakana is worse, and romaji drives me absolutely insane. I also hate the fact that so many characters were simplifed, since it makes the connection to Chinese so much hard to...

Well, your experiences and those of others absolutely fascinate me. Because of my experiences in music (about always having know many musical compositions) and the connection I have with the German language, I was especially interested about what you might feel when you see or hear Japanese. For...

Could you tell me when you started having these vivid memories? I can't relate to them at all on a personal basis, because I don't have any. But I have an attraction to Japan. Very strong. And Chinese characters. About six years ago I got hooked and started studying characters. I've found...

Interesting, Kris. I don't notice finding things I need or some of the other things mentioned in the thread, but I really don't think that's the central point. Every time in my life I've need guidance, there has always been someone there to give me what I need. But sometimes it is delayed...

Hi Kris, I'm a "late-nighter" or "owl", always sluggish by day and wide awake long past midnight. Another site I'm on has instant notification, but I'm still trying to get the hang of this one. I don't either, but I was actually thinking of what came next: This was actually PRECISELY what...

Kris, is it possible that you don't get "pushbacks" any faster than anyone else, but rather that you recognize them faster? In other words, it may be a sign of where you are in your own development that are deliberately attuned to "lessons", even if you have not thought about it. Possible? :)...
