The old Zen master had been having a series of repeating dreams, over the last month, where he had found himself in a second-hand bookshop, looking for a diary book, that he had once had. This diary book had been given to...

emptychair Yes, I agree. Most dreams have a spiritual nature, and if we look deeply into them, we can find some other world answers for ourselves in them too.

emptychair @Shiva49 A man that I knew over forty years ago appeared in my dreams the other night, and he told me that his father was still alive too. He was older than me, so, if his father was really still alive, he would be seriously old now, as well. Such, forgotten...

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, all of those experiences give us some possible insight into possibly some other realities, but we cannot say for certain that they are just tricks of our minds, and brain. So, we remain in the dark still, as so far, nobody has come back from the...

emptychair @Shiva49 Our dream life is not the same as death, I would say, though. Some talk of a silver cord that connects our soul to our body, and we can leave this world in our soul to travel around in our dreams, but the cord stays attached, and is only severed...

emptychair Sometimes, I too am glad to wake up from a dream to know that it is just a dream, and not a part of my real life, so to speak. On the other hand, though, I enjoy my dreams, especially when I meet up with my deceased mother once more, and do everyday things...

This is a poetic meme I wrote to this photo the last winter I spent in Latvia. This little adorable fir was a favorite of mine in all seasons growing right at the spot where we passed to walk into the woods. I hope it has remained...

emptychair @RasmaSandra Yes, you have said before, he was/is your soulmate, so a connection like that, would always bring warm feelings in your heart to all what you did together.

emptychair My brother tells me that he does that too. If I get up to go to the bathroom, I usually forget my dream when I go back to bed, so I do not get up right away, but go over my dream a couple of times in my mind, before I get up, and then I remember it...

emptychair @Shiva49 It is hard to say, for certain, as global weather has changed dramatically over the years, moving through various ice ages, to heat waves, before. Perhaps, God has his hand on the controls, and makes changes as he will, like the great flood, mentioned...

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, pollution is destroying the atmosphere, and most of the world is now affected, even the polar ice poles, I have heard. This also hastens global warming.

emptychair @Shiva49 My own father also had a large book collection, but he used to write, and underline, all through them, so we could not sell them, and these days, there is a lack of secondhand bookshops, who can buy them too. We had to throw most of them out too. A...

emptychair @noni1959 Yes, we probably have a root purpose, or a reason for our life, that underpins all of our other purposes, and reasons, for our life too

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, if one is lucky enough to own a house, one can downsize or take on a reverse mortgage to free up some funds at the expense of an inheritance for any kids. If we do this though, the freed up funds will then count against the pension too, so you...

emptychair Even God would have many purposes too, all built from his energy of love, though, and from his truth, and wisdom, as well. So, yes, we can have more than one purpose too, l agree.
