HI to everyone!
First I want to thank each of you for your good thoughts and feedback. I put my comments in this section so they wouldn't distract from the main subjects.
I want to say that I RESPECT each and every one of you here, and value your opinions and I think every comment has offered very valid truth.
Also I really like everyone on the forum. Each person has much to offer, though we are of different ages, interests, parts of the country, etc. Many of you I really consider as friends thogh I've never seen what you look like, and in many case don't know if you are 18 or 78!
I believe that there are many thing we do not understand or that we can explain. Personally I am very careful as to what I accept as a psychic event or miracle. I think most 'psychics' are frauds and much phenomena is fraudulent. Also realize that there are false healers and 'prophets' in the Christian world. An example is PETER POPOFF who was they guy with the receiver in his ear, claiming to hear from God. This 'evangelist' hurt the name of God with his con jobs.
Yet I do believe in miracles and true supernatural events. As a Christian I believe that the GOD is able to do anything. I don't believe things on blind faith but on EVIDENCE and there is much evidence for my faith, yet most people have no idea that actual evidence exists that I base my faith on.
Psychic events may be from unknown causes or misunderstood things or may be demonic. But I don't believe all events are necessarily occultic.
My siblings and I are not 'psychic' BUT my own brother predicted his death. A few months after my brother became a born-again Christian he told me of a vision where he saw the reaper angel walk out of the closet. I told him it was just a dream. He was adamant that it was a vision--he said it was a real figure. I told him if that ever happened again to rebuke it in the Name of JESUS. I was in Chicago when I got news of his death--in a car accident with a friend of his, who was also killed. My Mom told me days later my brother had told her that he didn't have long to live and thot he would die. This sounded as nonsense since he was just 19 years of age. He had even bought an insurance policy! I can't explain that.
A Christian friend of mine had a friend named Stan who claimed he could see things inside buildings, etc. He was what we now call a remote viewer. In summer of 1984 he wrote down the two team he thot would be in the Super Bowl the next year, and the game score. He then put that in an envelope and gave it to my friend Mike. Mike put the envelope away in a drawer and forgot about it. About a month after the Super Bowl, now some 8 months gone by, Mike found the sealed envelope and thot that Stan would be lucky to even pick 1 of the teams. Mike told he he was staggered when he opened the envelope. Stan had not only predicted the 2 teams but the actual score!!!! correctly.
Stan makes a LIVING working for oil companies by sensing where oil is. He flies over certain terrain and tells them where to drill. Stan is not an occultist--he is just a weird guy. I could tell other stories about Stan and Mike but I'd go on page after page. All I am saying is that there are more mysteries than we can barely begin to understand.
Even the Apostle Paul said that "we see through a glass darkly." Yet I KNOW that God has used this flashback and a strange dream years earlier to bring me closer to Him. I don't need to go into my story except to say that I was in a couple of religious sects and saw both good as well as manipulation of people. I have studied Comparative Religions, American Cults and Sects, Church History, Philosophy, SouthWest history, and lots of other stuff. Yet the DIVINE I once knew seemed far away. All of us experience "life" and often is is not very bright.
My personal life has been filled with tragedy, disappointment, sadness, and many other kinds of problems, from health to financial. In moments it doesn't make much sense. Yet I know I was called by G-D and could write a book [and maybe will] about my life. I've met famous people as well as worked with the poor. I've counseled people trapped by many things--addictions, cults, bitterness, etc. and always I want to help more and learn more. Still God has blessed me more than I am grateful for.
There's something about Emily and my soul just vibrates when I even think of her. Maybe it is longing for once I was ENERGETIC, HAPPY, CAREFREE, and a good athlete. I almost feel like I have known her...like a missing part of me. Maybe I'm foolish--I don't know Emly and who knows if there really was an important Emily right now. Or may be it is a self-fulfilling 'prophecy' wishing to bask in her JOY and glory.
I told an unbiased friend about this flashback/vision and the dream...and many many coincidences--"winks"? I highly recommend a book called something like "When GOD Winks." These are stories by athletes, celebrities and ordinary people about how God guided their lives. I was given this book by an elder in the church I go to and didn't read it for about a year. After last February I found the book, read it, and was blown away. My friend said he was blown away and that I should trust GOD for whatever he has and to let God do whatever he wants...he said it differently but I would be saying too much if I quoted him.
There's so many strange coincidences like getting a phone call [at work] just after thinking about the Kwan Olympic situation last year from an "Emily Kwan." I said is that your real name I asked. Yes she said. How strange I thot. There's so so many more winks. I was VERY happy to get a photo from her--but it wasn't the photo that made my day--it was something ELSE, a special touch...a UNIQUE flair she put--uh, but I won't say.
I decided to try ice skating last summer--the falls were pretty bad folks, but I actually was able to go around the rink by myself the 2nd day. My RESPECT for all skaters and EMILY grew so much. This is hard stuff and to think she is up 2 or 3 feet in the air doing turns!! Wow! I now admire all skaters cause this is really hard stuff. One of the hardest things I've ever done.
So whether you think this is fantasy, madness, or something else. I want to BELIEVE in the dream. Is Emily a 'soul mate' or something else? Anyway if somehow one day we end up friends and fellow travellers and more, well surely you will know that GOD did it. But in a way I want to forget about her. All I know is that I want to see her truly joyful--in loving GOD, her family and fellow humans, and that she will find someone to love and who will truly LOVE and cherish her, as she deserves the very best. Whether J-Zee or whoever... May GOD bless her and guide her always I pray. If you believe join in...
I wish everyone here GOOD and HAPPY times and life and peace with God.
In the Master's service,
Fanofgold
