    i've read (years ago) about totems & how we each have maybe a few different totems. animal totem, spirit totem or whatever else, maybe eliment totems like fire, water, wind earth or whatever. can you explain a bit on totems?

    i also meant to mention something about when you lived by the lake & the indian burial grounds. very cool stuff. when living in northeast iowa we lived near the effigy mounds of the upper mississippi valley indians who made animal shape mounds up on these cliffs & used many if not all for burial mounds... marching bears, birds, panther & turtle, maybe snakes not sure http://www.nps.gov/efmo/index.htm

    yes there are elemental totems that are to teach you about your relation to the earth and such and various ones that are your animal spiritual guides meant to help direct you to your path and even insect totems. What that could be is dependent on what animal totem you have. I really don't know all the details about them all. My rabbit came as a warning but also to help me better connect with my surroundings and mother earth. The shaped mounds that you described are representive to each particular family's totem who's ancestors a most likely buried there. My friend brought me to meet their shaman who wanted to explain to me about grand medicine, and he felt that was something I should be looking into, even though I'm not native, which I thought was kind of strange. It was also a kinda strange meeting since he said that his totem the wolf told him to seek me out. What was even stranger was that I went into the city at a native American center I cold hear a wolf howling as if in the distance but we were right smack dab of the city where there are no wolves. It really rattled me and I left. I never learned their grand medicine.

    Some of these stories, most recently your, jmuscatello (and wow! what a story! glad you got through it ok!) reminds me of one I read in (I think it was) Musician Magazine years ago. The article was an interview conducted with Don Van Vliet AKA Captain Beefheart. In the middle of the interview Van Vliet put his hands in his head and said something to the effect of "Oh my God, something terrible has happened." The interviewer later discovered this was around the same time as that John Lennon was shot. I wish I had kept all those great magazines- I can't find the article. Anybody remember this?

    Hadn't heard of this either but now I want to search for that article!

    And these warnings, clairvoyance, visions and totems... to me, it's like you get a random glimpse that things are happening at another level, maybe one you'll never really understand in our lifetime, but you just get enough of a look to know something else just might be out there. I know in my accident/sister phone call case I wasn't looking for it, and my mind immediately tried to figure out a rational explanation for how she could've known. And then finally you think that maybe this physical life we know might just be a tiny bit of what's out there. Like a random little hiccup in the order of things gives you the chance to see that there's more to it. I find it fascinating now.

    with that, I see I have some catching up to do with the videos...

    this frickin guy 'james randi' aka 'the amazing randi' just drives me batty. what a narrow-minded/close-minded cynical ass.
    his mind is made up that paranormal/supernatural happenings interacting with us on this plane or plateau or rock-dirt-water-air-gas & sky filled planet is not & never has ever been the goings on at any given moment, anywhere, near or far.

    i have this morning been watching a few of his interviews & other videos on his research, theories & whatnot. wow, mr. amazing, just please stop.

    i actually feel sorry for this man & people like him. he is supposed to be this gifted mind but is quite naive & simple.

    goodnight, sir


    Couldn't disagree with you more.

    A video on youtube I saw a couple weeks ago that reminds me of this topic.

    but you probably should look into it. that is how it works, what you're speaking of, hearing the howling wolf & whatnot & the shaman's animal totem the wolf

    I never had an opinion of television pyschics one way or the other. All I know is that many different cultures have reported similar experiences regarding paranormal experiences as well as some twins seem to be connected telepathically etc...

    many on here & elsewhere will put up their bullshit nonsense declaring sensitive folks are nutjobs craving attention. i've never really gave any tv psychics the time of day, hell i don't even own a tv & am far removed from all that a good 12-15 yrs or more

    do i believe in psychic ability? sure do. have i myself experienced those happenings? a lot yes & not just simple bullshit like thinking of a friend really hard out of the blue & the phone rings w/ their call. that's mild & happens often.

    i know what i have going on, what im about. haters can kiss my ass for all i care. one can't help what they're born with or into

    my mom is a pretty good psychic gal & her grandmother knew it when mom was a child & her grandmother helped nurture that ability in her. it's handed down the bloodline rather some want to believe it or not, it's a fact. mom is a shaman of sorts & sharp as a razor

    yeah so i'm an idiot who is craving attention on pearl jam. well guess what? my family & friends know what's up. it's been going on since i was a child. aint no thing.

    For whatever it's worth or not, I don't think you, chadwick (or anybody), needs to defend themselves here.

    And this, just beautiful. I get it, your description, the maybe more-to-it-ness.

    Nice :)

    my grandmother, my twin aunts, aunts, nephew, etc... seems to run in my family as well. I have seen my twin aunts in particular communicating with each other telepathically. Thank you Hedonist, I and I couldn't agree more .

    You were attacking James Randi for his work exposing frauds. I don't see why you have a problem with someone exposing assholes taking advantage of people. The man is doing everyone a service.

    At our service today we had a talk about wicked spirits, and there was these spiritual people (i can not tell you if they were true christians or not....bc) anyway they were called to a family close by who a lady was ongoing possessed and she would hurt herself frequently, anyway they came and did many prayers over her and tried to summons the demon out for hours until finally she felt ease and free, so they all left and went in their homes, then suddenly the lady let out a peircing cry and they all ran to her home only to find that the daughter of the lady (a little girl) head was twisted and broken right around facing backwards.
    So im telling you wicked spirits exist.
