I can't transfer the picture here, so I will post the link.

This picture was taken in Aztec, New Mexico. We were at old ruins, where they rebuilt the Kiva.

As I entered the Kiva, I immiadely felt as though my soul returned home, I felt surround by energy of pure love. I asked my husband, if he felt the same. He looked at me, as if I was out in the sun to long.

Notice in the picture, the spirit's hands below my knees and their arms. Notice my arms are straight at my side.
As for the light surrounding my upper torso & face. It is energy. There was no sun or spotlight on me. It is not due to the camera flash. I took a picture of my husband in the same spot, his picture came out normal.

The picture was taken with a 35mm camera.

Ghostly,,,My Lady...

That's GOTTA BE one of THE MOST Eerie and Impressive Photos that I've EVER seen!!!
I give it FIVE Thumbs Up!!! thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif

I have been in Kivas, and there I DID feel a great energy when I entered.

Having practised Native American Shamanism at one time in my life, I have been allowed into a number of Native Sacred Places for Ceremonies and Rituals,,,places FEW Jewish Hispanics have ever gone. grin2.gif cool.gif

Amazing Pic Ghostly!!!! thumbup.gif clap.gif
Universal Absurdity
Cool Pic!
Could you show the pic of your husband in the same spot for prosterity?
mr_halo
just checking, as nobody has asked the obvious, was he wearing a big light around his neck at the time? laugh.gif

or maybe one of those miners helmets, if not its an odd photo...
Marth
wow thats pretty cool.....
seventh_son
This is one of the most impressive pics i have seen to date.
GHOSTLY
wow the pic transfered over. I'm amazed. Thank you for adding it. One day when I grow up, I may learn how to do it. wacko.gif

Mr. Halo, that is me, I assure you, I wasn't wearing a miners hat, I think I was wearing astraw hat at the time, because we roamed the desert. I had no big light around my neck. lol

Universal,
I would love to put his picture up. He has asked me not.

David,
I have been in several other Kiva's, none of them gave the feelings & energy as strong as this one. All my pics in the other ones are normal.

A short time after this picture, I began having visions while awake. The therory after the visions were, this is a past life of mine. When I entered, my family & friends greeted me.
kingdude22a
are you sure it anit just the flash?
David_Cubero
Ghostly,,,I'd say that you might be onto something...

IF there IS such a thing as Reincarnation, (which I think there is,) I believe that I too had a past-life as a Native American. I believe that this is what drove me to practise Native American Shamanism during my rebellion against G-d and Judaism, back years ago. I felt SO "At Home" with The Native People. I believe that I lived in The Desert Southwest, like perhaps in the present-day West Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, The Southern California Desert Region OR somewhere in Northern Mexico AFTER The European Invasion. When I go out to The Desert, I FEEL a feeling in the pit of my stomach that I don't even know the right words to use to describe it. It's an ALMOST overwhelming sense of sadness, yet it feels like "home."

I also believe that I had a past incarnation as an African Tribal Person. There's a certain "Familiarity" that I have with African Americans, as well as African People as a whole. I fit right in with BOTH of THESE Cultures in THIS life, as well as I do with Jewish People and Hispanic People, (which are my cultures in my PRESENT Incarnation,) maybe better. Since the death of my wife 10 years ago, I have dated Seven African American Women and ONE Kenyan Woman. I am TOTALLY comfortable within The African and African American Culture and with Black People as a whole. It might be odd, in some people's minds, but not to those of us who might have lived past incarnations in OTHER Cultures than our Present ones.

Naturally, as a Jewish Person it would be ideal for me to have a Jewish Wife,,,but I MAY wind up marrying someone from ANY of my Past or Present Cultures.


NOTE: I don't see how that "The Glow" in The Photo could have been a "Flash Reflection," unless you were wearing a giant mirror around your neck. As I stated before, I've been inside Kivas and I know how they're constructed. I notice that The Ladder is behind you, and it's dark back there, so that should rule-out sunlight. (I don't know wheather that when they reconstructed THIS Kiva, they made a different kind of openning for tourists or not, but I KNOW where normal entrances in Kivas are...)

Ghostly, for all of these doubters, why don't you post the pic of your husband as a "Quality Control Comparison",,,that MIGHT help to convince some of them...

Dave,
A quick run through the visions I had after this picture. Each vision occured about every other night, except the last vision, a week went by before I had it, I was awake, each one started with me hearing a tribal chant. each vision I had, except for the last one, I was looking through this person's eyes.

First 1, A little boy kicking little rocks around with his feet. I felt as though he was about 7 at the time.

2nd vision, he was standing, looking at a camp fire & someone was dancing around the fire, only saw the feet of the dancer.

3rd vision, he is hiding behind a tree, I can feel anxiety, as he is watching big brown horses riding by, I can only see the horses & the feet of the riders.

4th Vision, His body is lying on the ground, in the area the tree he was hiding behind, he was lifeless, I was floating above the body looking down at it. Felt very much at peace.

Last Vision. I am standing at the bank of a big, beautiful lake, the lake was extremely calm. I see this young man standing on a boulder. I am no longer seeing through his eyes. I am a spectator here.

I watch him dive into the lake off this boulder, he creates a small ripple, he starts swimming under water. All at once, he surfaces. He surface, his bosy is straight as if he was standing at attention, he is in aswirling movement, going around in a cirlcle, straight into the air. In one of the swirls, he becomes a large bird, wings out but straight down at it's side, he flies veritcal into the air. All visions ended.

Some people put together, the spirits & my emotions that I felt in that Kiva, were my family. My vision was to show me, that was my past life.
Who knows.
earthygirl04
I find this interesting. I'd like to know how does that occur? What causes the energy to dwell there? And how is it that you recieve visions of your past life? I would love to stop by there and check this place out, along with the one my older cousin went to in Arizona. I wonder how many of these "places" there are around that we just don't know about?
earthygirl04
Ghostly, that is the best pic I have seen yet! thumbsup.gif Is this place also known as, "The Vortex"? I have an older cousin that is into crystals, past lives,etc.. She talked about going to someplace I thought was in Arizonia? And said it was on indian grounds, but she was taken there by a Shaman (from the indian reservation nearby I suppose). She said it was called "The Vortex", and you could feel the energy suround you. Also she said you will have visions and see your past, present and future while in there.
GHOSTLY
This Kiva is in Azrec, New Mexico, it is a National Park.

There are numerous ruins through out the south west. I have been to so many. Not one that we had visited, did I feel, sense or had an experience, as in Aztec.

There are alot of energies through out them.By all means, go & visit as many as you can. Especialy if you are drawn to them.

We go across country & explore just about every year. We went there, because we were in the general area.

I can't explain the visions I had and or why I received them. It just happened.

I do not take drugs or drink, for those of you that may wonder about that.
earthygirl04
I would love to go and experiance the past life visions. I would love to know if I have lived a past life. Thank you for sharing this with us.
David_Cubero
Ghostly, AMAZING!!!

I don't even know where to begin.

IF I HAD to guess I'd say that you WERE INDEED "seeing" your past life! BUT!!! I DON'T have to guess, because I have a VERY STRONG FEELING that this WAS one of your incarnations.

However, what I am not sure about is wheather or not you were living in the area around THAT PARTICULAR Kiva, or wheather "The Energies' in THAT Area, (or in THAT Kiva,) were just able and willing to gift you with the ability to "see" your past life as a Native through these visions.

Here are some of the feelings that I get from the visions you listed:

1-This incarnation was within the past 300 years,,,but most likely in The 1800's..

2-Rocks are elements with MUCH Symbolism within The Native Culture. They are for one thing, connected to Earth, a feminine element, as in The Mother Earth. Rocks were thought of as living beings, and had incredible energies and powers. One thing that strikes me as odd is that a Native Person would NEVER have kicked a Stone around in The Old Times. Therefore, I am thinking that He MAY have had White Influences, maybe a White Parent...

3-I also feel that He was a bit of an outcast. He is always watching things that are going on and is NEVER participating! In The Native Culture, children participated in many things from a VERY EARLY AGE,,,including Dances. This is another indication that He MAY have had a White Parent...

4-However, He CERTAINLY seems to have also known The Native Ways! He ONLY saw people's feet! It was considered IMPROPER for a Child to look any elder in the eyes. Children ALWAYS approached and looked towards elders with their eyes turned downward...

5-Fire is an Essential Element within The Native Culture. Fire is Symbolic of The South, Summertime, Adolescence, Warmth and it's a Masculine Element.

6-Trees are like Stones in The Native Culture. They are Protectors and thought of as Living Beings with language and much Intelligence...

7-The Lake. Water is The Femine Symbol of Birth and Life. Yet another Essential Element that you were shown! Water also represents Birth and in certain cases, REBIRTH.

8-The young man is standing on a Boulder, (another Stone,) and jumps into The Water, His' movements indicate Maturety, Freedom and Peace. The fact that He Jumps into The Air is also significant, since Air is ANOTHER Essential Element. It is The OTHER Male Essence. You were Shown ALL FOUR of The Essential Basic Elements of life, Fire, Water, Air and Earth, and also you saw Two of The Most Sacred Elements, that are NOT CONSIDERED Essential Basic Elements Of Life. (Trees and Stones!)
Birds are EXTREMELY Symbolic in Native Lore. They are Messengers, especially Eagles and Hawks. They were thought to carry The Prayers of The People to Heaven to The Creator. Birds soar between Heaven and Earth, so they are VERY Sacred to The Native People. The Young Man becomes a Bird and flies vertically into the sky your vision, thus He is likely heading straight to Heaven. He is departing from all of The Bonds Of Earth,,,via Water to the Air, symbolic of Birth itself,,,you go from "Water" in The Womb to Air at birth. It's as if He is being BORN into Heaven.

I recieve several messages for you from this series of visions that you described. ALL are important for you. This will help you to understand WHO YOU USED TO BE as well as WHO YOU ARE NOW!

A-You need to "Ground Yourself" to The Earth and recieve Her' Energies. Literally go outside to a place where ALL of The Elements are present, Water, Air, Fire, and Earth, (obviously you'll have to build a small fire, and I'd suggest using a BBQ Grill to avoid Violating any Local Laws or Ordenances concerning open fire, but use wood to burn, NOT Charcoal or Gas.) Also, go alone if possible, find as remote of a place as you can. When you arrive to the location that you've chosen, take your shoes off first, feel the Grasses, The pebbles and Earth on The Soles Of Your Feet and Between Your Toes. Walk around barefooted for a little while. Concentrate on this feeling. Enjoy it,,,allow yourself to relax in that atmosphere.
Next, sit down on the ground, touch the Earth with your hands and release all of your Negative Energies into The Earth, envision your Negative Energies and Your Concerns flowing from you and into the Earth like you might imagine Electricity passing thru a wire. FEEL The Negative Energies leaving from the very depths of your soul. When you have released all of the negativities, you'll feel almost empty. This is the time that you allow yourself to recieve The Earth's Positive Energies in the same way as you released your Negative Engergies, invision Positive Energies being absorbed into your being from out of The Earth. Feel The Positive Energies coming into you, "see" them filling you up, spreading through every part of your body and into the depths of your being.
Continue to sit on the ground, meditate deeply as you feel the breeze on your skin and hear it rustling the leaves in the trees. Concentrate on feeling The Earth beneath you, listen to the crackling of the wood as it burns, if you are near a running stream, listen to the water as it flows by you, listen to the birds chirping. Open all of your senses; touching, hearing, smelling, tasting, and seeing the elements around you. Let EVERYTHING flood you senses completely. Now meditate on your past life and see it connecting to your present life. Do this for as long as you are able.

B-I feel that it is important that you balance your Feminine and Masculine Sides. This CERTAINLY doesn't mean to go out and become some wild bisexual, but a certain balance of Masculenity and Femenitity is healthy for all of us,,,EVEN for an old "MUCHO MACHO HOMBRE" like me. Eventhough YOU felt your previous incarnation was a boy. I feel like maybe this person from your past-life was a girl. I think that you're being taught to reach this balance. I DO believe that you have had Male Incarnations, but I honestly feel that this one was a female.

C-There is a Chance that in THAT Incarnation you DID NOT Actually Die as a Child, but grew to adulthood. Yet you "saw" yourself as a child in your visions because The Ancients want you to reconnect with your so-called "Inner-Child" in order to further "tap into" The Powers that ALL Children Possess, the power of Innocense! Natives lived in a state of Child-Like Innocense all of their lives, prior to The European Invasion. They also possessed Incredible Powers and Abilities simply because they BELIEVED that they possessed them. No one had EVER told them that doing these things was evil or bad, it was just a way of life for them, and the used their abilities without reservations that was later introduced to them be The Europeans, especially The Quakers and Missionaries.

Do these things and let me know what happens. You should be astounded by the results.
GHOSTLY
Dave,

Your post was very intense & full of knowledge. I reread it a a couple of times. I never knew the deeper meaning of rocks, trees, water birds etc.


Dave said, "However, what I am not sure about is wheather or not you were living in the area around THAT PARTICULAR Kiva, or wheather "The Energies' in THAT Area, (or in THAT Kiva,) were just able and willing to gift you with the ability to "see" your past life as a Native through these visions."


I was born in Brooklyn, NY, raised in New Jersey, I now live in upstate NY, about 60 miles from the city if that. As a child, I never traveled. All my knowledge about different states, were from scholling. Though as a child, I use to say, I am going to run away from home & go to New Mexico. lol I was drawn to New Mexico since childhood. I had no idea why. Maybe, I just was drawn to the name.

When I finaly visited New Mexico, my inner being, felt as though I came home after a very long journey. Very hard to put into words. I knew I belonged there.

Dave said, "1-This incarnation was within the past 300 years,,,but most likely in The 1800's.."

Your time period may be right. If I recall the history of this village, they dated it back to 500 &600 AD. That is the time frame, I had set in my mind. Your time frame would make sense. For I didn't see the images of the men on the horses, just their feet. I knew they were white males, who took his life (murdered) him.

Your messages 2 through 8, is very imformitive. They have defined some meanings to me, I still need to ponder on a few things you stated. Most of it falls into a very clear perspective for me. Thank You

My intake at This Moment towards your messages are the following.

First I will start by where I live.

My home is surrounded by a State Forest. I have no neighbors except the fury, feather, creepy crawlies. lol
There is a stream that runs across from my home, a pond in the back woods.

Though I was born in the city. I am not a city girl. When I moved back to the city, I was very unhappy. I am a country girl, one who loves nature.

As a child, I played in the woods, fields & down by our stream. I would be barefoot all the time. They nicknamed me Daisy May, because I didn't like shoes. Till this day I don't like them. Because of a medical condition, I have to wear something on my feet.

I can find complete happiness, just looking out the door or window. Just looking at trees, birds, taking in all of nature. I do have a deep fear of water, I almost drowned as a toddler, still recall the bubbles. I never learned how to swim. I won't go in the water, but will sit back & watch it. We have a above ground pool, I will watch the ripples from the breezes. I find it relaxing. Snow how ever. lol. I love it when it first falls. I hate the cold, snow, ice. I hate winter. It is beautiful where I live. You look out my window & you see a mountain. I live on a mountain. Winter depresses me. Always has.

My female & male side. Thank you, I started my day off with a hardy laugh.

I'm from a family of 8 children. I have 3 brothers, 2 older then me & 4 sisters. They always considered me the wild one. I think theywere wrong. lol

I never did drugs or drank. I liked motorcycles, owned a Harley Sportster, I love drag racing, was part of a pit crew. I never drove the car. sad.gif I work on cars, something breaks, I'll try & repair it.

I loved making things with my hands, be it out of wood or any other material. I'm not an artist, can't draw a straight line.

I do the disaster recovery work. Which has put me in alot of different scenes & work areas.

With all that, I am very much a female. I love being a wife, mother & yes Grandmother. (I only admit to being 23 years old). Though I have never been the baking type wife mother & grandmother, I am the fun type. That at a drop of a dust bunny, I'll go out & explore or play with the kids.

Dave said "This CERTAINLY doesn't mean to go out and become some wild bisexual,"


Dave, there is where my day started with laughter. At this stage of my life, I don't think I will go out and become some wild bisexual. That's just not me.

When you stated in C. "-There is a Chance that in THAT Incarnation you DID NOT Actually Die as a Child, but grew to adulthood. Yet you "saw" yourself as a child in your visions because The Ancients want you to reconnect with your so-called "Inner-Child" in order to further "tap into" The Powers that ALL Children Possess, the power of Innocense!"

I agree 100%. So much has been going on in my life, so many people, through no fault of their own needs my time and or help. I have felt, I lost my time. An inner struggle with me. Cause I believe, people are sent to me or we cross paths for me to help. Somehow, I am always able to open doors for them. My main belief is, no one, no matter what they are going through, should feel they are alone going through their troubles.

I do know, I have to make time everyday just for me. I just haven't yet. I'm working on it. I found the problem, now I'll find the solution.
Back to the post.

You have no idea, how you have made the information clear to me. I stumble onto this experience. I have wondered why. What was the sense of knowing this. How could it benifit me in this life. I did look at it, only that, this young man was me, in a different life, all I saw was the murder. Now I see the rebirth, the life style, how it fits alot of my personality in this lifetime. Yet, new questions arises & to ponder on. Thank You

Ghostly,

Well, I had such a strong feeling that you had a health problem that required you to wear foot coverings, that I wrestled with myself, (my own instincts,) NOT to include it when I was writing about balancing yourself to Earth, and to your past.

I don't know why I "knew" that, but I did. As I recall from my Shamism Days, they advise you to do the best that you can when there's a health problem present that prevents you from doing something that is prescribed.

Okay, so you work on cars? I'll let you repair my Cavalier. laugh.gif It's MESSED UP!!! blink.gif Hey, I can't do very much mechanical work,,,I lack the patience to fool with stubborn screws and oil draining on my face. I have been riding Motorcycles for MANY YEARS. I started out when I was a 10 year old puppy. I started out with a little mini-bike, and since then, I have had probably REAL 12 bikes so far.

Nevertheless, despite your various masculine/feminine rolls, and your barefoot romps through the countryside, I STILL see that these visions and this experience is telling you to reach a greater balance of both of your "gender sides." Use Introspection to sort this out for yourself. This is represented by The East, The direction of Birth, Infancy, New Beginnings, Warmth and of course, The Sunrise. This calls for you to meditate on these things and then look within for the answer you need. (I don't know what they're trying to teach you, but I'm just passing along my "feelings" that I am getting from SOMEWHERE!!! huh.gif

It's odd that I can even remember this stuff after 21 years,,,I haven't practised Shamasim since about 1983, and yet all of this is flooding BACK into my mind,,,things that I haven't thought of in SO LONG! It's been sparked by your pic, for some odd reason.

I'm NOT a Winter Person either!!! It IS depressing because everything is dead and it represents the Cycle of Death. It's a sad time.

Regardless, it seems that you have been drawn to things that were and STILL ARE important to Native Peoples, since your childhood. "Someone" has been influencing your life since, FOREVER, it seems.

BTW, glad I gave you a smile to go with your "brekkie." (I don't know why that I decided to use Aussie Terminology. dontgetit.gif I'm WEIRD at times!!!) w00t.gif

I find that picture was an easy fake.

Here is an example of what 2 minutes in photoshop can do to any picture to give a similar effect.
GHOSTLY
Blazea,

Being a skeptic, I encourage. For there are alot fakes & wanna be's out there.

I know you don't know me and or what I am about. I am not offended by your comment.

At the same time, I am not here to prove or disaprove of any experiences I have had and will have. I am here to share experiences and to read others. To continue to learn or to help someone else, to have a better understanding.

The 6th sense and the spiritual realm, is a realm, which through time, has been declared as something from the devil. If you were a child who had a strong 6th sense, you were deemed to be a child from satan. I know that from my own childhood.

Today's era is a wonderful era, due to technology. We are able to have sites like this. For everyone to post their experiences. By sharing, we start to have a better knowledge and understanding. For people to know, these experiences are very much a normal way of life. I beleive we all have an ability within the 6th sense. Just which one, is up to the person to find & developed. I believe it like people who are gifted with a voice to sing or an artist. Some people have those talents some don't.

Continue to be a skeptic, but (i always insert a but in there) continue with an open mind and search for knowledge, to be able to have a better understanding of things which isn't within of our 5 senses.

What an incredible pic!! It looks as if someone was trying to get you to stay..... grin2.gif
