Hello! :)

[68plexi]

My name is Fred, I am 33 years old, and I am a full-time musician. As such, I ended up with some physical issues for which I started seeing an acupuncturist. After curing my issue I continued seeing him, seeking his guidance and council on many, many things, and about a year and a half ago or so he suggested I'd do some experiments with hypnosis and self hypnosis. Through a musician friend and kindred spirit, who has been doing hypnosis for years, I came across the Gateway Experience, by Robert Monroe. After listening to the first session, the Focus 3 Introduction, I was hooked on binaural beats. I must say I've not been very successful with the Gateway Experience, but nevertheless I did promote the Gateway Experience to certain people.

One day, I am at my acupuncturist's and we are talking about clairvoyance. Even though I have only heard rumors, my late paternal grandmother was said to be clairvoyant. I know for a fact that my sister is clairvoyant, and she knew our father had passed away because his spirit had appeared in her room to tell her goodbye, and to instruct her to take care of my mother. My sister was 12 at the time, I was 13. At any rate, late last year there was an incident where my father appeared, looking over my sister, as she was sleeping. This was witnessed by her fiancee, who obviously freaked out, but nevertheless was able to describe our father to the T, including a faint "tic" he had. His physical appearance, his clothes, everything. He has never met our father. It was this incident that brought up clairvoyance at my acupuncturist's appointment. His reaction to this story was a bit curious, as his reaction amounted to "Well... What on Earth makes you think you do not have these abilities? Just cultivate them a bit more." We have somewhat left it at that, as I have no idea how, and haven't really been able to find out how.

In addition, occasionally, I feel an irresistible urge to make late night trips in my car. Some voice in my head guides me through the middle of nowhere, mainly in rural areas. I ended up trusting this voice, and for some reason, I always safely end up home, without knowing where the heck I went. I've visited graveyards, where I was asked to pray, I've been at chapels, again to pray (I am an atheist, by the way), I've been at civil war sites, one of which I by happenstance found a few months later, and the last time I was driving around in heavy fog when I saw somebody walk. It was about to rain, and for some reason I just HAD to make sure this person was okay. So I turned around and went looking for him, found him, and offered him a ride, which he declined. The "voice" (spooky, right..?) said, "Awesome, you're done, let's go home!"

At this point I must say I met a lady, who is a medium, and with whom I developed a intensely strong bond. We talked about these things happening, and she seems to think I am being abducted by aliens, since apparently many of the things I describe happening are consistent with other accounts of these occurrences. So knowing this, I started communicating with this voice, asking questions and I must add I have cussed him out in no uncertain terms for not letting me in on these things, and erasing my memory. For if I am actually being picked up after being lured away to secluded areas, then my memory must be erased after I am being brought back. My medium friend has suggested that me not having any memories is consistent with some protocol *they* abide by, but whatever. If I'm not supposed to remember, then my well being seems to be of lesser importance to them, which would make me feel somewhat used, so I'm not paying much credence to this. But I must say it lingers in the back of my head, because were this to be true, then this would be more awesome than Star Trek. 

So there's that. Also, at a show I was doing I was introduced to this girl. Now, this happens a lot, I know, but with this particular girl I developed a somewhat curious relationship, as we discovered we are twin flames. We have collective memories, and both our spirits have majorly developed since meeting each other. It's hard to describe, but we "just know". In addition, we found our "spiritual mother": the medium lady. And also our spiritual dad. Again, this in insanely hard to describe, but we "just know". I also know I have a son somewhere, and I have an idea, but I have not had an opportunity to verify this, as of yet.

So all of the above, plus the OBE's and lucid dreams I have been having, as described in another post, in addition to some previous life explorations, pretty much amount up to a big question mark. So many different things are happening that I don't understand. I believe they are connected since they're all metaphysical in nature, but I do not know how. But I'd like to know, which brought me to this forum. If anything, I am thoroughly enjoying myself experiencing and studying this, and as such I suppose I am thankful for having the opportunity to do so.

Even though I am an absolute and utter novice, and as such probably comically useless, I am defiantly going to pass on that if there's ever anything I can do for any of you, please do not hesitate to ask

Oh, before I forget, since this is still me introducing myself, I'd like to add that I find farts to be incredibly funny.

Hi Fred!

Welcome to the Astral Pulse!

That's an amazing intro post!

I, too, believe that everyone of us has these abilities... and as you were told, it's something you just need to work on remembering how to use.

As for your strange unremembered journeys you're going on... I don't think that anything is "erasing" your memories, they're all definitely still there, just not accessible to you right now.  Kind of like how we don't remember all our dreams at the time... it can take some coaxing to get them to come forward to the conscious mind.

In any case, again, welcome to the forums.  Hopefully we can give you some help into all this.
