Synchronicity is something I am definitely involved with, since childhood. I would always alert my family members when different things would come up in our surroundings or lives that seemed to be coincidence. I didn't know the name for it when I was young and chalked it up to being unique circumstance or a paranormal mystery. Something outside of our Christian Lutheran education.
Today I was editing my "about" section on my blog and was looking into Exorcism and the definition. I have had a life full of paranormal stuff that happens and I wanted to list them. I was involved in a Exorcism back in 2012. I read about, the dress of Exorcists back in the Third Century. This "dress and attire" was also portrayed in various paranormal movies. Here is the quote from the Wikipedia article.
"The office of Exorcist was not a part of the sacrament of
Holy Orders but as a
sacramental was instead first conferred on those who had the special charism to perform its duties and later to those studying for the
priesthood.
[4] By the twentieth century, the order had become purely ceremonial. As a minor order, exorcists wore the
surplice. "
Well it put me in mind of a long standing joke or chuckle I have with my best friend and soul mate, his sister and how I dress or was inclined to dress, had changed in recent years. A short time into reuniting and learning about each other, he gave me his long sleeve button down "white shirt". His sister would joke about the white shirt and say "Oh? He gave his white shirt huh?" and we would laugh and she will always tease me about that shirt, to this day.
I always loved the color white and off white or Ivory you might say. With brown hair it always seemed to go really good and contrast well. I never really wore a lot of white until I grew older. In fact, not until my healing and awakening in 2008.
You see, I did 8 years on a bad antidepressant. It was the sort of drug that you cant just "not take" one day and then take it the next. When you take it everyday, it had to be at the same time everyday or you would be coming down off of it, feeling the detox and be either raging mad or a basket case. Well I tended towards the basket case side. One day, the pharmacy didn't have my medicine in stock and they told me it would be tomorrow. Hence, I go through every emotion in the book, trying not to let my children see that I was not ok. Hold it together for just 24 hours. This happened many times. Sometimes it would be a week before I could get it. In 2008 I got up one day and said "NO MORE". I was not going to take it, worry about it and let a drug have that much control over me and my well being and that of my children.
I started to surf the internet that day and see if I could just surf and look for some interesting topics, anything to keep my train of thought stable, and engaged, to take me away from reality for just a little while. I was always one that was hungry for the unknown, hungry for knowledge and hungry for truth. I have always been a dreamer and loved to float away on a good book. In this day and age that would also include digital video.
I came across a video with this guy in a yellow shirt and a candle next to him, very intriguing scene. He was being interviewed and the topic was very mysterious. As he spoke, something peculiar started to happen. I literally could hear a low buzzing or zapping type sensation in my head, like the sound of slow motion talking, it put me in mind of something "recalibrating". It was so bizarre and intrigued me even more to listen to the message this man was trying to get out through his friend who was interviewing him.
I was never the same after that day. Everything he was saying made sense about the world we live in today, some of his subjects were quite scary, but it all made sense to me. It's like his words triggered something in my brain to open up and be like " Oh yeah!". I guess you could say it triggered my "enlightenment", my third eye opening, and broader spectrum vision. That's just a small snippet of the beginning of my awakening. Spirit lead me to that video, Spirit lead me to what was rightfully in my souls path to learn. One of the subjects were about pharmaceuticals. I never took another pharmaceutical drug after that and was adamant to never take another. After all, I did have a grandmother that was trapped unwillingly in the USA mental institution fiasco of the mid century and I knew that pharmaceuticals were bad. The little time I spent with her as a child, she refused her medications and at one time she flushed them right in front of me and told my Dad "I took them". This was one of the first subjects that this man spoke about that I directly felt in my soul that was true and it kept me listening. All in all, I was never the same. I became even more spiritual than I ever was and basically did a lot of changing. I became more optimistic, happy with life and saw a great future where maybe I could add a little good into the world and be part of any change that I saw this world much needed.
At that time, I was a single mom on welfare and stayed at home, to raise my children. I started to go through a beautiful change. I got up, strived to get off welfare and saw the possibilities of actually being able to go back out in the world and joining the workforce. To better myself and the lives of my children. It was possible if I just applied myself and I longed to do my part to be a force of positive change in the world.
I started wearing more white and just pretty much loved being able to comfortably wear it without any inhibitions that white can put on you as a weight watching woman. It contrasted with my hair, and I also started loosing weight, so I felt pretty darn good wearing the occasional white fashioned waist slimming designed button down white shirt with my black slacks, when I would go to church. It was my favorite outfit and I felt good in it.
Fast forward to 2011. I lived in low income housing at the time and there was this lady across the street. She was a older country gal, grew up in the area and had a somewhat hard life, growing up in the hills of Appalachia. She was friendly, but had a fire in her if she was done wrong. We became good friends and she had a daughter around my age that I became good friends with too. They pretty much became family to me. I learned many things from this woman and she taught me how to speak up, use my backbone, and stand up to people when I needed to for my own good. As I was always in my heart and had a hard time with anything of a negative manner.
She had another daughter who was about twenty years old. The daughter had a new relationship that was going well. But the daughter started acting really strange all the time, getting angry for no apparent reason, lashing out at people randomly, walking around in a stupor and sometimes even being mute. She would carry on about random people that made her angry and get violent. Everyone in the family knew something was very wrong with her, as she was normally a very quiet, well behaved, reserved teenager. Finally one day she expressed to her Mom that her and her best friend had dabbled in spell binding and had done some witchcraft activities, in her apartment. She said she didn't know why she passes out sometimes and gets angry and violent. Everyone in the family agreed, that it sounded like she had been overcame by a bad spirit. As soon as we all agreed on this, she became really bad, attacking people, running through the house, and if I am not mistaken, she actually had a minor car accident where she escaped getting badly hurt.
There was a preacher in the family, my friends sister, in the next state over. She was consulted about the situation and she said "get the most strongest most faithful religious people you know and have them come over with their bibles". Well, I was the church goer of the neighborhood, as well as a man next door that took kids to church on a van every week. They had myself, this man, my friend (the Mom) and her other daughter that I was friends with. She said to have the younger daughter come over and have everybody meet at the house. The younger daughter brought the boyfriend. Who was also worried sick about what was happening. -cont'd
