Melle2 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Octavia has just explained her thoughts to us in detail again. Octavia, you are right with your thoughts. I hope you find a man who is genuinely interested in you. And I think you didn't do anything wrong because you live in this house. A man who really loves you doesn't care. You developed your wonderful thoughts in the house and showed them to everyone who was interested in you. As we have already mentioned here in the forum, you are a smart and emotional woman who does not have to blame herself for any wrongdoing. Don't be so nervous tomorrow, so many people have gotten their driver's license, you too will do it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a really interesting conversation that Octavia had. There are many things worth commenting on and important issues brought up by her in general but there is one thing that I need to pass along as my concept of how life continues after the body dies is very similar to what she was talking about and there is a book out there that I know she will want to read. The book is called “Journey of Souls” written by a clinical hypnotist named Michael Newton, PH. D. He was doing work with patients as a hypnotist, regressing them to past lives to try and address issues they were having in this life when one of them found themselves in a between life state. Since then he has worked with 100s of people who recount amazingly similar stories about what they experience between lives. Octavia should check this book out.

It is amazing what memories Octavia's words trigger in us. I think many people, at least those who live consciously, have had these or similar thoughts. It is just as interesting that you think about these things much more as a young person than as an old person, which I am now. I gather from your post that you have also been concerned with these things and that this book occurred to you. Perhaps a good tip for Octa. I have other associations that remind me of an old concept album by the Moody Blues, "On the threshold of a dream", if only because I associated the title "dear diary" with Octa from the beginning. But the basic idea of the album fits well with her final thoughts. In any case, Octavia, it was a really beautiful speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take it out of the closet and do your private thing under the covers. Is it allowed to use the real name? Be careful! I did not find any written rule that would specifically forbid it, but the unwritten one, and the spirit of the forum's rules is to not do it. Also, using the real name would confuse readers here that are not aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your Moody Blues take is right on as they would have said back in 1969. The theme of the album does fit well with Octavia's final thoughts as their keyboard player said during an interview while making the album “Hey, we're on the brink of a new consciousness, a new way of looking at things”. That's the way it seemed at least over 50 years ago. This concept led to the name “On the threshold of a dream.” The Dear Diary song is a nice “coincidence”. Yes, I have been concerned with these things for many years. I have sat with gurus, attended Satsang with many teachers, read countless books and watched many videos of diverse spiritual teachings. I was a spiritual seeker but now I realize we already are what we seek. I am still a Truth Lover…a term used by a French teacher of Advaita named Francis Lucille. I recommended the book as I think it will serve as validation of Octavia's beliefs/concepts. Your comment that it will “perhaps” be a good tip is a good one as my favorite word these days is “maybe”. We don't know what the future holds. We can only wait and see with the knowledge that life takes us where we need to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting to meet someone in a forum like this who has dealt so intensively with these questions. I have to admit that I have no scientific background on this topic, but only argue from my experiences and feelings. I have a scientific background in physics, but I feel that we don't know everything that surrounds us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit Guy Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I read recently Octa went for a driving test, does anyone know if she passed or not because she has looked pretty miserable the last 48 hours or so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She won't find out the results until tomorrow but feels like there's a chance that she will not pass as what was characterized as a mistake apparently happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
