Readers Respond about Ouija
Zsuzsana,
I can attest to Ouija being a powerful channel of
communication to the beyond. Years ago, friends and I
would gather at a friend's apartment and whip out the
Ouija
board. We had several interesting moments with
Ouija. On more than one occurrence, we had the oracle
levitate up under our hands. The entity I remember we
had been speaking with the first time this happened was
Errol Flynn. I ducked my head down to see if my partner's
hands were gripping it and I saw not. The oracle was
indeed levitated by some unseen method. If that was Errol
Flynn on the "other side", he is quite expressive.
Regards,
Lyle
*******************************************************
First and foremost let me tell you that my experience with
the ouija was not a very good one. I was in the service at
the time and had just gone through a nasty divorce. I
started to explore various forms of beliefs and stumbled
onto a ouija board that had been blessed by a white witch.
Now whether you believe in wicca or not matters very little
to this case. I started to use the board to answer some
questions I had had for years; I figured maybe this was a
way to find what I had been searching for. I can tell you
that the ouija is very real and it does work in various
ways
but it does work. I got to the point that I could get
it to
answer my questions without touching it, which is
pretty amazing
to most people. I am not going to say if
the board is a game to
some or a portal to other beings
but to me, at the time, it was
a gateway to knowledge
that I had been denied all my life. It is
neither good nor
evil but it can be both depending on how you
use it. Any-
way, back to what I was saying: I had been working
all day
and was sitting in the dorm room which I share with a
room
mate. I got out the board and started to talk to it
and
as usual it began to spell out things. I asked it who
was
in charge of the board and it would not answer me -
it
just kept spinning in circles. I asked it if the
influence
was good and it said no. I asked it if it was bad and
it
said no. I asked it if it was evil and it started to
spin
faster and finally said yes but evil is a relative term
so
I asked it who it was. It gave me a bunch of letters
which
I will give to you....IAMAMESSENGEROFMYFATHER. Well
as
soon as I deciphered it I knew I had crossed into an
area
I did not want to be in so I took the board and placed
it
across the room on top of my dresser. I fell asleep
almost
immediately and was soon awakened by the door
opening.
Since I had a room mate I didn't think much of it but
I
asked him not to turn on the lights since I had duty
the
following morning. I fell back to sleep and was
soon
awakened to my bunk being bounced. All I did was yell
and
say to knock it off. That was when the needles started.
As
I was laying there I was being stabbed with sharp
pointy
things coming through my mattress. It took a while but
I
realized that this was not normal so I sat up only
to
realize that my roommate was not there. The first
thing
that went into my mind was to grab the ouija and break
it
so I did. Now here is the part that is sure to send me
to
the loony bin but as soon as I broke the board into
four
pieces the room door flew open and a small
rat-like
creature flew down the hallway of the dorm screaming.
It
hit the outside door with such force that it broke
or
should I have said shattered the wire reinforced
glass
pane in the door. I went back to sleep after that and
the
next morning I took the pieces of the board and threw
them
into the dumpster. I watched the dumpster being dumped
and
watched the truck drive away. The freakiest part when I
got
home from work that night the ouija board was on my
pillow
pieced back together with the indicator going in
circles.
Needless to say I burned it in the woods and the
curious
part was it burned a bright blue.
So
when you are asked if a ouija board is safe to use? As
I said
before yes and no but to me absolutely not.
Yours,
Dale

Dear Zsuzsana,
Around 1970 I was in pharmacy school
at the University of
Georgia. We were visiting my brother and
sister-in-law and
it was getting late. We asked the ouija board
if we should
return that night or wait until the next morning --
it said
the next morning. We asked why and all it would
say was
danger to the Henderson family.
Well, we did not heed the warning and returned to school.
The next morning we got a couple of calls to see if my
wife
was alright. That same night a girl with her same
first and last
name was killed in a car wreck.

Hello Zsuzsana,
I have a ouija experience to share
with you. First off,
I am an identical twin. My twin
and I have had too many
"paranormal" experiences for any of them
to be just a
coincidence and we were part of a group that shared
a
Ouija experience. There were about 7 of us in the room,
so
there were witnesses. One of the people was an
incredibly
"gifted" sensitive who had been drawn to me and my
twin
from the first time we met. She had very calmly
claimed
to have several spirit contacts. We believed
her. She
had come to our house one day along with a small
group of
friends and someone suggested that we pull out the
Ouija
board and see if we could talk to her spirit
contacts.
She agreed as long as there were only three of us in
actual
contact with the board/planchette. The room was
dark and
illuminated by candles and protective
prayer/spells.
We sat in a sort of upside down triangle (the
cup)
configuration. She was the point and sat with the
letters
readable to herself. My twin and I were the
"base". It
started with simple yes and no questions.
I had some
qualms at that point because I had at one point tried
to
consciously move the planchette toward an answer and
it
resisted. Then we started asking questions that
required
the answers to be spelled out. First it was
really simple
things, like names. When the questions
became more
complex, we had to get writing implements in order
to be
able to keep up with the answers as they were being
spelled
out. Everyone in the room became a little
distressed when
the planchette started moving so fast that it
threw off our
fingers. Our sensitive friend had her hand
above the board
and planchette, but not in contact with
them. No one was
physically touching the planchette, but
still it flew about
the board spelling answers to
questions. No one can recall
exactly how long we were in
spirit contact, but the
planchette stopped moving and dropped to
the board with a
clatter when the door to the room was opened by
someone
who had not been there when we started. A couple
of the
witnesses freaked out, called us evil and left
hastily.
The rest of us tried to fully absorb what we had
just
experienced. We had been in my sister's room for
the
event. It distressed her so much that she refused to
let
the room become completely dark for more than a
month.
And the ouija board was packed up and put away
someplace
where no body was likely to come in contact with it
again
for quite a while. We were fortunate that the
"spirits"
that contacted us through the board were benign.
Every
one of us that was in that room during the event
is
convinced that that type of contact medium could
very
easily be used by beings with malignant intent, and
that
it should NEVER be considered just a game.
Thanks for listening.

Readers Respond about 11:11
I found the article from
the wife
and husband about seeing 11:11
on their
digital clocks almost daily
very interesting.
I, too, have a connection to 11:11
appearing on clocks
when I just
happen to glance at them although
it
doesn't happen to me quite as
often as to them.
My uncle died on a Monday at
11:11 and now, every time,
I
look at the clock and that is the
time, I
always say "Hi, Uncle
Fred" as I want to acknowledge
him in the event this is his way
of reaching out to
me.
Your explanation that this time
sequence
is a "master number"
and represents transformation
from the physical into the Divine
makes this happening
more
meaningful to me.
I had never heard
about this
before and am glad to learn of
it
since my desire to acknowledge
my uncle whenever I see 11:11
on
the clock now makes sense to me.
I did it
because he died at 11:11
but now see that there is
more
significance to it than just that.

Hi, my name is Neil. I'm from South Africa and I read
the story about seeing double and triple numbers. It
threw
me back a bit, as in, "I'm not going mad!?" LOL.
Anyway, I have
been seeing digits like this for about
2 years. The slight
difference is that I do not see the
same double digits but
different ones all the time.
I'll wake up and look at my
cell phone... 06:06; later
on someone will ask me the time...
10:10. I've even looked
at an incorrectly set clock/watch with
double digits.
I'll then go to bed and check the time 22:22 or
23:11 -
(11:11). I once looked at an advert (poster) while
walking
past - it was an advert for a "new" wrist
watch
(analog/hands – not digital) - the time was 20:20.
I've
freaked a few of my friends out with this and some
thought
I was mad or even better, from some 'alien' planet.
LOL.
They have, however, witnessed this as one has
actually
asked me the time while I was fixing their PC at
their
house. I looked at the PC's time and it read 14:14.
Well,
if there is a message, which I believe is very
possible
as I am wiccan/pagan and Christian and believe in a
much
higher power, I am at a loss. (Talk about mixed
messages).
Maybe I get minuet by minuet messaging.
LOL
Blessed Be.
Note from
Zsuzsana:
Hi, Neil. Believe it or not, this happens to me
all the
time too. Some say it is simply a sign of becoming
more
aware or a sign of ascension. Metaphysically,
seeing
repeated numbers indicates that your DNA is
being
activated on some level. These numeric 'codes'
usually
continue to appear until we have 'got the message'
so
it is a good idea to reflect on what kind of changes
or
patterns are happening in our lives and whether or
not
we need to be paying attention to any particular that
is
going on in our lives or spiritual process. I
usually
suggest to people that if they want to explore
further,
they can research the meanings of any of the
specific
numbers but in your case, because the numbers seem to
be
random, I would simply suggest that perhaps you
journal
these events and see if you can find a pattern. If
not,
then just enjoy the 'messaging' and knowing that you
are
in tune with spirit!

Paranormal Q & As
Q: I'm glad someone had the
same question as I have. For
years, why do I always look at the
clock and see 9:11? The
only significance to me for the date is
that I graduated
from school that day and that my husband and I
met that
day, and now I found out my son starts school that
day...
there has to be something else about that time. What
does
the nine mean?
Wendy
A: Dear Wendy:
There are many possible explanations
about the significance
of you seeing this number repeatedly.
Here are some of my
thoughts:
You personal
history shows that 9:11 is an important number
sequence in terms
of life cycles, beginnings and endings.
When you see this
number, perhaps you are being guided by
spirit or your own soul
to become aware of what is happen-
ing in your life at this time
and take notice of what you
are manifesting, and of what is
culminating and what is
beginning.
9:11 has
also become a global symbol of change, a wake-up
call, so is
there some area in which you need to take a
broader more
spiritual view of things, or take action on
something that would
benefit both yourself and humanity
as a whole?
911 is, probably not coincidentally, the number for an
emergency phone call. Is there something the universe is
urgently trying to contact you (your soul) about?
In
western numerology, 9 represents endings and 11 is a
master
number representing the twin strands of DNA and
the evolution of
human consciousness and this sequence
could be a wake-up call
asking you to look deeper into
your self and discover some
personal truths your higher
self is trying to
reveal.

P.B.E.s
Q: Hi, I found this topic to be very
interesting. I don't
know if it is connected to the subject, but
while I was
pregnant with my first child at age 19, I had a
vivid
dream about what the baby would look like around 1
year
of age. It was a very powerful dream and remained in
my
mind for a long time.
After my daughter,
Hailie, was born, I anticipated her
first birthday to see if the
dream was correct. And to my
surprise she looked exactly as I
had seen her in my dream.
I am still amazed and a little spooked
by this experience.
It did not happen during my other two
pregnancies. Was
this her soul contacting me before she was
born?
Jamie
A: Hi, Jamie. It definitely
sounds like your daughter
contacted you and if nothing else,
such an amazing
experience will strengthen your bond during your
lifetimes
I am sure. I don't know how old she is now, but this
would
be an interesting topic to explore with her if she is
at
all interested in the paranormal or metaphysical.
Hopefully
she will remember her 'visit' to you, or the reason
for it,
and you can explore this soul connection
further.

Street Lights
Dear Zsuzsana,
To
begin, I would like to say how much I enjoy reading
your
newsletters on my email. They are so heartwarming
and touching.
They brighten and uplift my day. My husband
lost his father when
he was 11 years old. He was totally
devastated at this age
and never understood a lot of
things. One thing he has never
been able to get out of
his mind was not being able to tell his
father "goodbye"
and to tell him how much he loved him before he
passed.
Shortly after his father passed away, my husband
noticed
every once in a while, whenever he waspassing under
a
street light in the dark, whether it be in an
automobile
or by foot, the street light will automatically go
out.
It is one of the most bizarre things when it happens.
I
never seemed to notice this until he brought this to
my
attention one day. As my husband put it, "It's like
someone
is trying to tell me something every now and
then." It's
so strange. It suddenly occurred to me.
It was his father.
This was his father's way of communicating
with him and
letting him know that he was okay and he was in
heaven
watching over him. When I told this to my husband, we
both
got tears in our eyes and felt overjoyed. So now when
we
are traveling along or walking somewhere and a street
light
goes out, we usually just look at each other or just
say,
"We know, Dad, you're just watching out for
us!"
God is good and wonderful. May he continue to watch
over
each and every one of you and your families always.
And
may your street lights shine bright.
Marla J. Smith
