A Prophecy Or Vision... Important!, I don't know if this is real, but coincidence after coincidence... Options

It all started about two and a half years ago. I was sitting in the waiting room of my doctor's office, a Japanese ruin incripted fountain flowing gently to my left, tapestries of every star-sign lining the wall. The atmosphere was quite meditative. Meditation seemed like the last opening I needed to make to have it all come crashing through, clear as day. It was read aloud to me by a strange old man inside of my mind who was lacking a voice. I could hear the words, but they made no sound. It was the most unusual sensation. I think it was Deno, who was my gaurdian angel since I was two.

What he said frightened me, and the strangest slideshow came along with it. The vision continued past the waiting room and was going on even while I was in the doctor's office getting my check-up! Not surprisingly, he had to repeat what he said several times as I was paying attention to two people at once. On to the main point; what was said. Well, I'll put it in the simplest form I can. According to my gaurdian angel, this material plane of existence will, in all senses, collide with the Spirit Plane, ie; the seventh plane. I was being shown this vision because, apparently, I was among few who could prevent this from happening (It would be very bad if it did. By collide I mean smash into each other metaphysically). This will occur on the 22nd of August in either two or four years from the vision. Seeing as the vision happened more than two years ago, it must be four. Now that I really think back, though, it may be any year with two as a factor (2 years from now, or 28 years from now). I think though, that it will happen in under ten years, probably in two (four years from the vision).

Three people can prevent this from happening. One of them is me, another I know to be my love, Tash. The third is still nameless, as all parts of the vision pertaining to the third person is oddly absent in my memory. My friend reminded me that the third person may be a spirit, because he assured me this is what I told him two years ago after I had recieved the vision. I know the second (dubbed "The Guide" by Deno), to be Tash because of all the clues leading up to it being completely accurate. The vision said that the guide would be a girl, half asian, I would feel a deep spiritual connection with her, I will fall in love with her, she will introduce me to magick (at this point I did not know of esoteric anything, let alone wicca or something of the like), and I would be able to read her mind. All of these are true. Yeah, even the last one. I'll start a seperate thread about mind reading, it will take me way too long to explain how it works on this one. I think the spiritual connection stems from the fact that while I was vacationing in California when I was two, my soul still fluid and susceptible, I linked souls with another two year old girl. I've always felt ever since then that part of my soul was in her, and part of her soul was in me. Later, when I met Tash just a year ago( she moved to NY a few years back), it turns out it was her, and she remembers it!

I was dubbed the "Chosen One". I'm just jotting that down because it's what the vision told me, so please, don't flame me for religious descrimination or contradiction. My duty was hazy at first, but apparently took a turn for the worst. Part of the vision said that I would have to jump into Mount Fuji, Japan, to stop the worlds from colliding. Ah. Yeah, well we'll see how that goes. The image I got from it was from Tash's point of view (remember I didn't know her at the time), seeing me jumping spread-eagle into a deep red shining thing in Mount Fuji that didn't look anything like lava. It couldn't be, anyway, Fuji's been dormant for years.

That's really it, that's the entire vision. If I forgot anything, I'll post what it was later. Ther is one last thing to mention, though. This wasn't part of the vision, but it was odd all the same. As the vision came to a conclusion and I was shaking, I looked tenuously out of the window. Perched on a rock, looking directly at me with lifeless eyes, was young woman in a victorian dress, long silver hair, a sharp-cut elven-esque face, and nails as long as... well, two feet long. Yeah. And she had blue-ish skin. She's been haunting me since the vision, and I know now that she is a spirit named Cynthia who dearly wants the worlds to collide. She even tried to kill me a few times. However, since late August of last year (yes, around the 22nd) she dissapeared. My father beleives that, since we were vacationing in a seemingly haunted house (or at least a very old house), Cynthia may have liked it better. I still doubt she gave up though, and I think I'll be seeing her soon.

Before I wrap this up, I have just two interesting things to add. One, is that both Tash and I are set to go to Japan in late August two years from now for two seperate reasons both unrelated to the prophecy. That in itself is a bit creepy. Two, Tash had a horoscope saying something about an important thing happening on the 22nd. After she told me about this, we almost screamed.

So that's it. There you have it. You people are serious, open minded, and mostly kind, so I would really appreciate any advice you could give.

Thanks,

Try not to take this as an attack against you, or your sanity, or anything like that. I have a similar story to relate, with a twist ending, so bear with me. I'd rather not damage my reputation here, but then, bits of my irrational youth are strewn about these forums, and I've said before that I had a bit of a 'crazy' time when I was first starting out.

I'm fourteen years old, and I'm in the midst of some crazy stuff at home, bearing little to do with the story except to say that it was a stressful time in which I felt very little control in my life, at the behest of everyone around me. That's an important factor to the moral, however.

I've been involved with occult material for the better part of three years at this point in earnest, and I've had a few weird experiences, started feeling energy and identifying what it means, and I've had a slew of psychic 'moments'. Ritual work is still a couple of years off. I write a lot, I have notebooks full of theory, journals of experiences, hopes, dreams, things I want to accomplish with magick that might or might not be totally out of the question at the time.

One day I'm sitting in my room, brooding over the fact that my parents can't accept me and they take every chance to make my life harder, and about how I have only two friends and everyone else seems to oppress me at every turn. My energy is really nasty because I spend all my time brooding, unless I'm fixing the damage to my energy that I assume is coming from some mysterious attacker bent on my destruction (in reality it was my own inexperienced dabbling messing my energy up). As i'm sitting scribbling in my journal, an old symbol I used to doodle on the edges of papers in school, on my arm when no one was supervising me, etc., comes to mind, and I draw it again in the ledger of my little journal, and as I do, a cascade of images, thoughts, concepts, raw information pours into my mind all at once. I didn't have to interpret it, it was like a packet of new information just suddenly popped into existence fully comprehended at once.

The symbol represented the mind, body, and spirit, manifested from a single source, THE source, and the formation of four elements within a fifth element of spirit. More than that though, it represented a sacred pact between myself and the universe, and as I processed what I had just learned, I sensed a deep rooted knowledge that I was meant to do something really special. I wrote it all down, and I wrote down the bits of story that were relayed with the information. About a group of people called Amahs'din, guardians of human kind's evolution who would discover themselves and eachother and shepherd mankind into a new age of enlightenment. They would prevent a catastrophe in the distant future with their words, their connection to mankind, and with magick. It would be a fated journey together, and I would meet them wherever I went, informing them of our collective purpose, networking them together. I was the chosen recipient of this knowledge, and while others would recognize it when they heard it, I was the one chosen to awaken them one by one as I found them - and I would recognize them when I saw them, and they would know me instinctively by the symbol that I hadn't really composed, but simply channeled many years before, only just now prepared and in the right state energetically that I could coincide with the 'information packet' in the astral, which is why it all hit me at once.

It all made perfect sense, and I knew that my friend Allison was also one of these Amahs'din, and that it was why I had met her. So was my boyfriend at the time, michael, and when I told him he would understand and awaken and we would start our journey together, and none of the problems in my life at that time would matter anymore, because I had a divine purpose to change the world in a big way. These people would look to me for guidance and I had to be ready to shoulder the weight of the world, because only we would be able to stop what was going to happen.

And believe it or not, less than a year later, I met a girl in minnesota who saw the symbol and understood intuitively what it meant. She knew it represented the mind body and spirit, around a single divine source, and she knew that it also represented the five elements in relation to one another. I told her about the amahs'din, and she understood and was on board, lets go, lets find these people and wake them up, and start our mission to save the world. I was ecstatic, and had conviction, and was ready to do whatever I needed to, make any sacrifice, in the name of my divine cause.

I am not now the leader of any group of amahs'din. I never met anyone else who understood that symbol, and my friend in minnesota went on to be an art major with serious issues of her own to deal with. I kept the symbol, and now it's a tattoo - though, now it's a symbol that simply represents a pact between myself and the universe to always recognize my divine nature, as well as the divine nature of everything else in the world, and to always strive to further embody that divine perfection. A work in progress. The amahs'din and the hundreds of pages I wrote about them were relagated to a shoebox that I occasionally pull out and look over again, like all the other old memorabilia from that period of my life, and when I read it I no longer see a prophecy or a divine calling to gather the children and shepherd the race into a new age of enlightenment.

Now, I look back and read over it and I see desperation, the need to find a cause in life, the boundless creativity of an expanding mind, coupled with the irrationality of a hormonal teenager trying to find a quick and easy out from the problems that seemed fatal and overpowering at the time. Now I wish my problems were as simple as they were back then. I see in it a certain hope for the world, and the desire to make it a better place, but I do not see a divine calling to arms, the fate of an entire world on my shoulders, or a group of chosen people who can follow me on this journey. I did talk to someone who referenced a group called the 'Amah' which was very close, and gave me quite a scare, but he turned out to be quite the fraud in all regards, both from talking to him and using my far more matured abilities to do what i could not do then, and seek the truth in a genuine higher plane.

The moral of the story is, sometimes you think that you're getting a prophecy, sometimes you think that you're the chosen one, and sometimes the fate of the world hangs in the balance between your own two shoulders. However, that is not the case. These things arise, 100% of the time, as far as my considerable experience with these situations has shown me, out of a situation in which the individual lacks control, and needs to feel as though they belong to something, as though they have a purpose that goes beyond the mundane world of boring life.

What I also see in these situations are individuals with an incredible connection to their creativity, with a strong potential for non-visual and 'conceptual' thinking, typically with some level of ADD - like I had - and sometimes even a hint of psychic potential, usually enough to give them some kind of seed of real information which an overactive imagination and a desperate situation turn into something much greater than it is. For instance, the similarities between the Amahs'din and the buddhists' Bodhisattva warriors became very obvious once I studied buddhism and it's mythology more closely, so much that I was almost convinced for a time that I had simply substituted a word that I made up for a word that I didn't know at the time as a sort of 'place holder' until I had more intellectual substance to correlate my experience with. But, of course I was more mature and experienced by then, and understood that I had taken an intuitively grasped concept and let me imagination run away with me.

I think you are probably not the chosen one, and your girlfriend Tash is probably not either. I think that more than likely you've just let a concept run away with you, and when you're the age you are - no offense, it's not to say that you're immature, just not fully developed - there is nothing stronger in you than the desire to be part of something, to belong, and to find a place in the world. In my case, I was never that important to anyone, so I thought at the time, and my vision gave me a sense of impending importance to everyone. But, in the end it was just a fantasy wrought by an improperly channeled creativity and psychic potential (i'm what you call clairsentient, I get packets of information all at once, no visual, audio, etc., I just 'know' all of a sudden).

Just give it some thought and consider really carefully the possibilities. Clear your mind, stay objective, and seek an honest and earnest answer in some way - read tarot cards, consult an experienced psychic, swing a pendulum, look for auspicious marks on your palms, look at your astrology, etc. But, don't jump to a conclusion like that all of a sudden based on one 'stream' of information because while I don't doubt that you probably have potential, chances are it still gets filtered through your imagination and personal desires in life. It's not just you, it's almost always like that at first. It takes time to separate 'self' from the experience of recieving information along any psychic channel.

I'll remind you - I had absolutely no doubts in my mind about what I was supposed to do, and meeting someone else who connected to it absolutely solidified in my mind the truth of my experience. When did it finally dawn on me that I had let myself get wrapped up in fantasy? Well, over time I just became more aware, more experienced, and started to recognize that all of humanity is in it together. Individuals can make a difference, but it takes millions to change the world - whether to save it or just give it a nudge in the right direction.

Dreamer, thank you for your advice. It turns out I have actually, on multiple occasions, thought that this was just in my head. In fact, that's one thing I forgot to mention in my post above; that although I think I beleive it to be true, I'm not adament about it and really think it's possible for it to be just my wild imagination. I'm not going to respond to your post with "NO NO I SAW THE FUTURE I SWEARS!" like a six year old, nor am I going to disregard it or take offense at it. I just think that while it's very possible this is fake, the small sliver of a chance it may not be is enough for me.

If this is based just my imagination, it would make sense. Before the "prophecy" I had just watched a movie called Spirited Away about a week before, and it inspired me for adventure. Also, the main weakness in my being and my soul is the uncontrollable lust for Truth and Adventure. It's as if these things grab at my heartstrings and tug every which way. The combination of these; as in a great truth leading to a great adventure, or vise versa, is probably the thing I wanted most in life at that point, and it brought me to tears many times that I did not have adventure. However, this point could also be used to back up that the prophecy WAS real, because what better a person to give a celestial vision then someone who has craved this kind of adventure all his life, has a very open mind, and would embrace the idea to the point of martyrdom (Mount Fuji thing).

I'm not defending that I was right, because I beleive what you say may be true. However, because of the flaws of my being, I will still follow it just because I need it. Whether it's fake or real, I need it to not go into a chronic depression. Well maybe I wouldn't, because I have recently started a group of truth seekers I named The Pack. We are constantly following every lead we can that can bring us closer to truth/adventure, and following it to the ends of the earth, no matter what the risk. Our major topic right now is trying to figure out this prophecy.

Again, thanks for the advice, and I found your vision also very interesting. If I were you, I would keep at it anyway, just keep it in the back of my mind, don't persue it if you think it's fake... but don't forget it, and stay observent. That's pretty much what I'm doing.

PS: No, I'm not crazy enough to leap into a volcano without further proof. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Of course you should do what you feel is right, but don't forget that life itself is an adventure.

It seems like a cheesy saying that we hear all the time and unfortunately it's one of those things where the case is often "older and wiser" in the end - and how I hated that saying when i was your age, good god!, I hear my grandmother laughing from the grave. While in the throes of a hormonal teenage developmental cycle, however, we are often focused too much on the future, not enough on the past or present. In the past is the reality of your journey to where you are - and imagining the scope of transformation that takes place from infancy to adolescence is a truly mystifying and even humbling experience - and in your present is the miracle of where you are right now.

Don't take living and breathing for granted, don't take the mundane existence of every day life for granted. Magick in particular, but any kind of mystical spirituality as well, can turn what seems to be an ordinary life in need of some adventurous twist into an adventure that you're in right now - and not just in this life, but in countless others. The adventure is endless, and we are given countless challenges to overcome, enemies within ourselves and without to face, secret treasures to find, and whole worlds to explore that the average individual is completely unaware of.

Just take a moment to consider your own being. A living breathing organism that acts totally mechanically. Your brain, nerves, blood, bones, muscles, skin, organs, and all the little critters that live within your mechanical marvel of a body, all work like clockwork. To fuel itself, it breaks down matter into its molecular components, practically an alchemists dream of transmutation 24/7, and it can even create little new 'copies' of itself with the help of another mechanical wonder. In all this predictable, orderly work, there is you, your consciousness, the one element of chaos to balance out and utilize all that order. It's mindblowing when you really stop and think about it.

And this mode of experience is just a window into a world far more interesting and complex than it was just moments before - the whole world is this mechanical thing, inhabited by some mysterious force of awareness that is in play constantly, everywhere you look. If you will see the world as a living thing, you will soon find that it is looking back at you, and it is interested in what it sees. Then you get to learn what adventure really is.

What I worry about in your situation is that you want adventure, so you follow the slim chance that what is probably a fantasy, might not be - and in the end, you won't have an adventure, you'll have a story without an ending. That's the problem with these imagined prophecies and grand adventures into the unknown - there is no ending, it never culminates. When you live in the adventure of real life, there is an ending, there are real clues, hell there's even a prophecy periodically. There are omens, signs, coincidental meetings - trust me, I sometimes have more than I want to handle, except that when you finally give into it and treat the world around you like a living thing that can be your ally, the fun never stops. Even the difficult times are no longer just issues and drama to deal with - they become puzzles to solve, with real rewards to be gained.

Your instincts, ultimately, stripped of all imagination for just a moment, will tell you the truth. Your ego may doubt your instincts because it wants to feel special, but if you will simply pause and ask yourself for a moment of clarity, you will get one. Just stop, and look. And if the answer is that you're living a fantasy, then put it away. Don't gamble on maybe it is, maybe it isn't, because every moment you waste chasing a fantasy is an irretrievable moment lost to the river of time that you can never get back, a moment that you could have been living a real adventure. Look at the paths that brought your group, the Pack, together, for a start. No doubt there really is a reason, but if you're busy gambling on an imaginary adventure, you'll miss your chance to embark on the real adventure that you were all brought together for.

My fantasy would have cost me my group of friends here if I had stuck with it 'just in case'. And then I wouldn't be on this adventure with them. If you want adventure, look to the future with a realistic eye - make plans for what to do after highschool, travel around a little, struggle in some new place with no safety net. Exercise your wits and push your limits, take risks to explore this rather large bit of rock in the sky. You won't be disappointed. You will be scared, and humbled, and doubtful, and hungry at times, and heartbroken, and forced to make hard decisions. But that's what adventure is all about. The adventure you're clinging to right now is safe. There's no real danger, and if you ask yourself if you really do feel the earth shaking in response to your 'predicament' I'm certain without a shadow of a doubt the answer will be 'no'.

Come on, your instincts brought you here, didn't they? What do you think it was for? To confirm your situation? You knew deep down that no one here was going to do that for you. So what were you really looking for? Real adventure. The world is alive, and it knows you want a life less ordinary. So, here's the response to your question. Live it.

peace

You're right, in a logical way, what you say makes perfect sense. I know it sounds like I'm about to say "but...", and I will, although you have to beleive me I'm not arguing. First of all, I did stop and ask the logical, common sense, instinctive part of my brain "is this real?", and it did say no. I also get a sense that, honestly, if I forgot about it, nothing would happen in two years. The world would not end.

The one and only thing stopping me from completely giving up is my view on reality. In my honest oppinion, reality is fluid and can be shaped and changed by sheer force of will. It is what we make of it, but not in the "your oppinion of this person is how they are, because blah blah...make of it...blah blah", I mean it in the actual sense that if we understand it, we can seriously change it. The littlest thing can make the biggest impact. Our minds are the most powerful device. These principles make up my theory on reality.

Since I crave adventure so much, I think that if I truly follow this prophecy, or keep it there in my mind until I'm ready to truly beleive it, I can truly make it so. It's a lot more confusing than that, and is not easy to explain, but if reality is simply a dream, and the person who is dreaming has the consciencness, then if they can make it a lucid dream they can affect said dream. Now if reality is a dream, why not make it a lucid dream? The same rules would apply, and all I have to do is know how to wake up. But really, I think people can make anything their reality, for it is but their dream.

Again, it's much less confusing when I think of it in my head than writing it down. For some reason imagining reality as an ever-morphing blob of plasma helps me understand this theory. Oh, and you said you were clairsentient? I actually have this weird thing that happens to me too, and it may be clair-something. I think I may channel poetry. Entire two page poems immediately pop into my head sometimes, and then I just HAVE to write them, even though I don't understand them. After I finish, I look back and see soo much symbolism and everything. It's weird, and it's probably just how some creativity works, however my parents are so impressed by how fast I think of them and how deep they are that they firmly beleive I'm channeling, as do some of my friends.

Thus concludes another delusional psychopathic rant.
