Thread: Well Horatio there are indeed more things etc etc...

Yes. The secular atheist mindset leaves many answered questions.
There I
A more to our existence than can be explained by the merely physical/material world
There are apocryphal stories of great physicsists setting out to prove God does not exist and coming to the conclusion that He must.

Mod hat on. Tread lightly gentlemen. If this turns into a religious thread it WILL disappear.

I have never tried to analyse or indeed understand the peculiarities where my daughter is concerned. These incidents have lessened as she has gotten older. What brought it to mind was the simple fact that I was at a birthday party with my daughter. The child whose party it was also has special needs and I got talking to his father about little incidents like this. He has had his fair share as well.
I remember when my daughter was very young and before she could express herself verbally she would introduce "pictures" of what she wanted into your head. Sounds innocuous enough, but each "picture" was preceded by a blinding flash followed by a tremendous pain in the head and then the "picture" would materialise. It was very debilitating! Thankfully she always slept while I was driving. Also my wife never got these "messages".
As she learned to communicate with speech and sign language things were more normal.
The little "incidents" have continued through life and we just accept them.
If you want another example I'll tell it, as it showed us just how perceptive and open her mind was (is).

I was not trying to imply any religious implication. Over here the term "child of God" is an expression used by the older generation to describe children who are "different".

I hope poor, old Israel Folau never buys a Landy

Mate, No issues whatsoever with your post both personally and (IMO) as a Mod. My concern was that the followup post may be a catalyst for further comments. I have a interest in these experiences and did not want the thread diluted or lost so, please continue.

I have an old friend who I shared a house with when I was still in my teens. She met a bloke and got engaged and was a few weeks away from moving out one night when I'd been out at the pub and was in bed asleep. At 02:00 I woke up knowing that something was desperately wrong and was wondering what it was when she arrived home in tears about 15 minutes later. Her fiancee had hit her while they were out at the time that I woke up.

As a post script she finally ditched him a couple of years ago after 20+ years of marriage and a few kids, I always thought he was a dick........

I cant explain the link that we had but while that incident was the most vivid it wasnt the only one.

Regards,
Tote

Once my wife woke up to see her grandfather sitting at the end of the bed smiling pleasantly. He lived 4000km away and passed away that night. We received the phone call the next morning but my wife already "knew".
