If it's not just my wishful imagination playing with me, I can say that, from time to time, my favorite uncle has been contacting me from the other side, ever since he left this physical world 22 years ago. And today marks the tenth anniversary that I came to give it credence, seriously. Or rather, using hind sight, it was 10 years ago that I realized that it was my uncle, the one who had been that unknown spiritual guide who had began contacting me for the past 22 years of my life. It was ten years ago, less a day, when I realized who my uncle really was, and that it was he, that special guiding spirit within me, who had been guiding me silently, through an inner voice I would occasionally perceive, when I had to make serious decisions in my life in the past 22 years.
I will never forget that first-time realization of ten years ago, which occurred through very strong emotional feelings, followed by my first truly out of body experience. I have had only two OBEs. Looking back, if I'm remembering correctly under those circumstances, it was something that lasted about two hours. I recall that it was a Tuesday, and all morning and afternoon I had my uncle on my mind, recalling the many times when he would be telling me stories about his younger days and adventures, and the times where he would give me personal advice, in general. I also recall that I had been listening to the Moody Blues' music on my MP3 player early that day, which I had not done for a while. But the perceived OBE occurred later that night. I cannot detail much of what transpired during those two hours. I only recall that it was late at night, around 11 PM, and I was sitting at the PC desk in my study, writing some reports for work, while in the background I was starting to listen to a youtube video. Then, the next thing that I recall was that I found myself, still sitting at the PC and talking to my self, saying, "don't send me back please, it feels so good." It was so strange! Then I realized that it was 1 AM Wednesday, the work report I was writing was, more or less, at the same point it was at around 11 PM, and the youtube video I had been listening to, which was nearly two hours long, had already ended. Then suddenly I experienced a strong feeling that during those two hours I had been visiting with my uncle, there where he was, in that other world.
Was it a case that I had fallen asleep suddenly, and I had a dream of sort where I found myself dreaming to be with my uncle in some heavenly location? I'm a fussy sleeper, and unless I'm laying flat on a bed, or a couch, I cannot fall asleep. I could never sleep in a desk chair, in any position. Probably if I had not slept for three days straight, I suppose that even I would fall asleep in a chair. Although there always remains an element of doubt, when it comes to OBEs or NDEs, I strongly felt that I had indeed experienced some sort of OBE, and spending time with my uncle, where he revealed to me the truth that there is an afterlife, and that he had been my guiding spirit ever since he left this physical world. And also assuring me that my belief in reincarnation, which I came to through reading Plato, is a true one. The one particular thing that I recall vividly, feeling it emotionally, and intuitively, about what my uncle told me, is that he said that he had been Socrates in a past life. However, this thing about my uncle having been Socrates puts more doubt in my mind, as having been a genuine OBE. More doubt because Socrates, Plato's Socrates, has always been my hero ever since I first started reading Plato over 50 years ago, and my uncle never discussed Socrates/Plato with me when he was alive. Therefore perhaps it was more of wishful thinking on my part, having Socrates as an uncle, and guiding spirit. All I know is that my life has taken a different dimension on how to view existence ever since that day. Besides, there is a lot more to my story, and the things that have occurred to me following that first"OBE" which may possibly corroborate my emotions that I had a genuine OBE, and all that I felt ten years ago was all true, even the part of my uncle having been Socrates in a previous life.
Since the realization took place between Mar 9th and 10th, I guess that either day can mark the 10th anniversary, and it's just a talking point, as far as the anniversary goes. But today, being Tuesday, it makes my day today, since I believe that the Moody Blues' music I listened to back then may have also been the work of my uncle, wanting to point out to me that, that familiar voice I would often hear in my head was really his, and which he confirmed it by having me experience that faithful OBE. Because, 10 years ago, I realized that I was on my way to better thing.
These two particular songs come to mind, and point!
