Do people think you are crazy?

I hope this is just a fun one. I think a few people, including me, have mentioned about how much they tell others.
I realize I just talk about spiritual things in normal converstaion. Not just re incarnation; the universe, the soul, life inbetween lives, spirits and angels, etc.
My family and close friends are used to it-some agree, some don't. I don't say as much to the ones that don't.
Sometimes people ask me what I mean. I explain but I hope I don't force my opinion. I believe everyone should make their own minds up.
I do realize some people think I'm a bit "away with the fairies". If it's a good way, it's ok.
What do you think people think of you?
 
Most of my closest associates believe the same things, and others come into my life. It was explained to me as a similarity in vibration. My husband thinks I'm a little daft, but he isn't sure. A few days ago, I was told by Guidance that we need to move. He became balky at that! He's willing to humor me, but moving on the basis of other-world communications is too much for him. No worries - he can be convinced! :laugh:
 
You know what? As I've got into middle age, I've come to the conclusion that I don't give a flying **** what other people think of my beliefs. My brother, who is in AA, is fond of quoting a saying used by its members, which I also like to use: "your opinion of me is none of my business!"


In other words, it doesn't matter. People will think whatever they will think. Most of my immediate family - including my brother - share beliefs similar to my own, which is all to the good. If they didn't, I'd love them none the less, and I'm sure that's true for them also. As for the world outside my family, I reserve the right to think as I will. I am what I am. Having said that, I am often surprised by how many people I encounter who think and believe along similar lines to me. It's a surprising world.
 
Now most of my friends do not think I am crazy but admire my bravery with regards to my wilderness sojourns. And it seems among my friends there is a wide assortment of beliefs from atheists and agnostics to fundamentalist christians. But I just don't talk about this much among those I know who are are fundamentalist christians. And now with regards to myself, I do watch anymore what I say to others in this day and age. There are certain friends in which we talk about this together with each other all the time.

LOL. Love it Briar. I sort of use a similar technique. :D


Seriously, I had been getting messages to go New Zealand. I wouldn't complain if I could just escape for a year but it's hardley practical to go on a two week holiday.


I wasn't sure if it was my angels, spirit guides or departed relatives telling me.


In the end I had a word with them, saying I would absolutely love to go and am definately baring it in mind when life and the universe make it posssible. The messages have stopped. I think they just wanted me to know it should be in my long term plan. I hope they remind me if I ever forget.


I wonder where yours have in mind for you to move to?:laugh:
 
Arrant & Km I envy you having people with the same beliefs around you. So am the only one here! Though am grateful people let me talk, whether they believe or not.


Good broad shoulders there arrant-is true, we shouldn't take any notice.


KM, I do think good to have a range of different views between who you know.
 
"They" didn't tell me where I should move. It was one of those strange letters that I get - I am half asleep, half awake, and can read them. It was really ominous, "The skies are gray, and threatening. A storm is coming." Do what you have to do, and get out!". Yes, I sound "crazy", but I was warned about something before, didn't act, and the result was bad. I got similar warnings from two people, after that, so I think I'd better go.


Arrant, of course you are right. As Fats Waller, said, "Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own". We are who we are.
 
Yes I think I would take notice of that.


I don't know how easy it is for you to move in the States. It can take forever here in the UK.


Good luck in working on the hubby. ;)
 
I know, it sounds crazy. It isn't fast here either. I have to get my house ready to sell, but I could rent it out. We had been contemplating a move anyway, but I would rather feel like I have free will in the matter. The next time I make a life plan, I want someone with common sense to review it, before I embark!:laugh:
 
Oh, my goodness. My doorbell just rang. It was a group of tiny Hispanic children. They had big, dark eyes, and sweet smiles. They handed me a white flower, with a card tied on with blue ribbon. I asked if they were from Jesus. They nodded solemnly. The card said, " Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take." I was explaining to my kids about the dream when the door bell rang. Although not a Christian, I believe in the Christ. I think all paths have some virtue. I guess Guidance wants to make the point!
 
Aelfgyva, I am laughing. I think it does! If you are schizophrenic, I must be "Sibyl", or the woman in"The Many Faces of Eve".
 
Braiar, so amazing! I think you are being told well & truly!


If it is meant to be the paths will present themselves easily for the move. Or you can ask the universe for help, I do regularly.


Really amazing what can happen on one forum!


KD, my relationships sound like yours.
 
Seeing Uncle Doc...


I have often wondered BriarRose, how many people may be on medication for schizophrenia just because they talked to the wrong person!!

I intend to start clearing stuff out of the garage and packing after Christmas. I wish I had more feeling of free-will in this - I didn't plan to move with a Divine foot in my back-side, pushing me out the door. To confuse matters, my husband was offered a big promotion here, and it happened yesterday. It becomes more difficult.
 
From Heaven Above...


I'm sorry BriarRose...that does make it hard! I think just making a begining will please your Spirit Guides...and most divine things take care of themselves! ;)

I would guess a lot, including a lot of kids.
 
Thanks for the support. I'm asking where to go. No answers yet, but I don't think it matters, as long as it's not in California. That part was specific - it has to be another state. I sometimes wonder how much of this is Guidance, and how much is our own subconscious, or higher self.
 
Crazy? I've always been crazy.LOL


Anyways when it comes to my beliefs I don't recall being called crazy. :/
 
When I was 18 - and diagnosed with retrograde amnesia - I found out I had been seeing several psychologists for 4 years due to my cardiac condition. There is a big difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologists. It was no secret in my family that I was seeing them - but I was led to know to keep it a secret from others. "Everyone will think your crazy." My Mother fought against - so much so - it was kept secret from her for a few years.


After my NDE - a 'spirit' came back with and was my constant companion. When I tried to talk about this 'invisible companion' to my family - they thought I was 'losing my marbles' -- until they started seeing this 'phantom' of a ghostly spirit with their own eyes. My Aunt saw 'the spirit' and my Uncle was trying to get me to bring it up at one of my visits with the psychologists. He thought I had 'caught' some sort of 'bug' that caused 'hallucinations' and know my family was catching the bug and having their own hallucinations. I went to the office prepared. My 'invisible companion' was with me and told me what to do. I told the Doctors I was seeing 'someone' that others were not capable of seeing - and that this someone was also showing themselves to my family. They wanted a professional opinion more for themselves than for me. They asked if the ghost was in the room and I told them 'he' was. I told them that he didn't want to show himself to them - because they would 'wet' themsevles. Instead, he was going to clean straigth up the desk top for them. When I said that, something wiped everything the desk on the floor. I started laughing and said, "You was supposed to clean it up -- NOT make a mess of it." Then, items started flying through the air one at a time - back onto the desk. When all the items were the desktop again - they started moving around and arranging it order again. I took my hands and straighted up a pile of papers and said,


"Now, was that a delusion, imagination or just a plain old ordinary hallucination?" Of course both of them had to pick their jaws up off the floor before they could speak. I told the 'invisible companion' "Go outside and wait in the hall for me while I talk to the Doctors alone." The door to the office opened and I shouted out, "Don't slam the door on your way out. The door swung really fast and then - slowed down to gently shut.


The Doctors called my Uncle and said, "The only explanation we have for what we witnessed - is mystical. It is beyond science to explain."


The Doctors told me there was a fine line between spirituality and insanity. I opened up in the coming weeks and told them many of the 'mystical insights' I had gained after my near-death - and they warned me how rational and logical minds would view my testimony. They warned me to use caution to whom I spoke to and how I spoke about - because - there would be some who would view my testimony as if I was insane, off my rocker - or had lost my marbles. The Doctors told me there would be people who had a mind for it - and those who didn't. I had to learn who did and didn't and not waste my breath and time on those who didn't have a mind for it.


You can talk about trigonometry with someone who is in college and with someone in grade school. You can't talk to a grade schooler the same way you do with a college student. If a person's mind is developed enough to comprehend the subject, it just means they haven't developed enough to deal with the subject.


When people called me 'crazy' when I tried to talk to them about reincarnation, the afterlife or mystical subjects - I would agree with them.


"I am crazy for trying to talk to you about something your mind ain't developed enough to understand."


Sincerely,


DKing
 
Yes, people think I'm somewhat... em, eccentric? Since my early teen years (and even before that) I've held ideas and opinions contrary to popular belief. However, I'm happy to report that my family and friends love me still, and find me interesting to listen to.


Other people; people outside my circle; at first find me quite strange. Though I'm not sure if that's because I believe the things I do. I think it's mostly because I don't relate to people well. Do other people have this problem? However, strange memories and dreams from a past life also lead me to think that there is a sub-consciousness reason for me being unable to relate to people.
 
I never told anybody but a few .


Very, very few.


Telling people you had past life most dimiss it


look at you funny. Most people


are not opened minded or evolved enough,


to understand the whole concept past life.


If anything I feel like Three Faces Of Eve.


At times
 
Relating to starry's original post, I think a lot of us have experiences so far outside what's considered "normal", that we have questioned our own sanity, never mind what the world thinks. Although, I believe that if I were truly unbalanced, I wouldn't question the things that have happened to me. Does anyone else feel that way?
