"I believe that there is ONE truth and ONE reality -- and we need to all head in that ONE direction to find it. Note: this is a DIFFERENT thing from "perceptions"...

That is my view as well, One Actuality. I would also have to say that it's admirable that you have not allowed your experiences to shape what you believe. What you want, if I am correct, is to KNOW.

I've had lots of experiences oobe's, lucid dreams that changed to being in another realm (conscious while body is asleep), that kind of thing... I've had encounters w/"demonic" beings (at least that was how I responded, w/terror.. but it could have been that I had extreme cognitive disonance, nowhere to put the stuff)... I've also had many, numerous Victory dreams (that's what I call them, overcoming dire obstacles) but my point is, I do not "believe" in reincarnation either because I don't KNOW it is the Truth absolutely. I don't know if I have any beliefs anymore at all! I know that I exist and I know there is Something that guides me, call it God, but I don't believe in Jesus at all but rather, I do use the term Christ consciousness, which are attributes of spirit.

The mind, is a terrible thing huh?? (smirks)... anyway, having had so many deja vu's, precognitions that happened, seeing visions,etc... Still I do not KNOW any more than I did before. The more I learn, the less I know.

Let me give you an example of how perceptions matter. It was (from my perception) a kind gesture by Reader that taking a break might be useful and you replied ... "I really don't think it's appropriate for you to suggest I go find something else to do."

That reply tells me that you might be under alot of stress over your experiences, together w/a bit of a hair trigger dealing w/people in general, perhaps from your expectations. Your response to Reader might have expressed a good chuckle of appreciation.

I empathize w/your concern over the dreams & experiences your entire life. There is nothing anyone can say except, thanks for sharing them, as we don't know what they mean either or how to stop them.... but next time you have an encounter, try to ask them who they are, what they want. And, since you're certain that you Know Jesus exists (the one thing you Do know from what you've written), ask him for assistance and protection.
