Hello ATS,
I've been watching this forum for several years and have used it to open my mind to many ideas and possibilities. It has been useful for pointing out
many issues mainstream media ignores, or misses entirely. Plus this site has many VERY aware and intelligent people (plus some others) that I am very
grateful to have enjoyed reading.
The past year or so of my life has started to take on so many weird, unexplained experiences that I felt I ought to join up, to either get some
opinions or help with my questions (which I will ask later in another thread).
So a very brief background. I am in my 40's and raised by hippies during the sixties. I had a good childhood and was blessed to have a loving family
and friends. I am an artist, and a slightly emotional creature, and always strive for balance. In my 20's I dated a woman who had a grandma who,
during a visit, told me about her late husband who was in the Navy and had a drinking buddy in Project Bluebook. She told me he had spilled the beans
about many things, but mostly just the whole ET phenomenon. A few years later at a job in a copy shop, I met a coworker who had possession of some
Bluebook documents. Years later I was relaxing with 3 of my friends at this house that was said to have a poltergeist. Later that evening all of us
saw the same faint blurry shape and heard the footsteps. At this point I could no longer make sense of what I was seeing, but it didn't throw me off
balance, yet. Then in my 30's I dated a woman who could see ghosts and knew when her family members would die. She also had a young daughter who could
see her dead grandpa, and did once with me in the room, I felt the cold presence but never saw/heard anything. Last year one of my dearest friends had
a gal he was dating get sick. Well this sickness caused seizures. After months of no answer or real help from doctors, the seizures turned into
Possessions. My friend showed me videos of some of the episodes and started telling me details. I was VERY concerned and nervous at this point, but
still trying to be strong and supportive. Honestly, fear or not, I was curious about what I could not explain, she was channeling demons, and dead
people, and more unbelievable, deities (that what "They" told me at least). The possessions were destroying my friend's life and credibility with his
friends and family. I got to witness (not by choice) a possession and this is when I needed help too. The things these deities could read without me
saying anything was terrifying me. Then out of nowhere, another person I knew channeled an intimidating message to me while chatting online late one
night. I immediately sought a spiritual path as fast as I could.
Needless to say I have been studying the basics of most religions, but tend to stick to Buddhism and Taoism and think meditation is an amazing
treatment for me. I have been looking into conspiracies and the paranormal since my experience with the poltergeist back in my 20's. This site has a
great amount of knowledge and resources for attempting to answer what I'm seeking. I want to personally thank all the people here who have made an
effort to help others seek their truths. I know this is not all of the members here, there will be hazing of course and a few arrogant 160 IQ
Hungarians debunking everything (I had to go there).
I have an open mind and a good sense of humor, but I humbly look forward to having some interesting conversations with you folks (the more I know, the
less I feel I know, so I'm still learning). Thanks for your time and input
