Your experience with spinning cups reminds me of an event which happened to me many years ago. Three of us were discussing 'fringe' topics when we decided to try contacting the 'spirit world'. You know the sort of thing, alphabet cards and 'yes' 'no' cards and an upsidedown glass. At the time, I had been divorced for about five years and was having a realationship with a young lady who I was contemplating proposing to. I asked if I would marry this person and the reply I got didn't make sense so I asked if I would have any more children besides the two from my first marriage. Once more the reply was unintelligable. Feeling the need to make sense of the situation I requested that we forget the questions and answers up to that point and start over again.

Would I have more children?
"Yes, three"
Will my current partner be the mother?
"No, stay married to (and here the letters didn't make sense) E L A I N E"

Now my first wife's middle name was LORRAINE, so I thought that the meaning was that I wouldn't be getting married again. That was in 1965. Two years later I did remarry and about six months after that it struck me like a bombshell - my new wife's name was ELAINE.

The lesson I learned from that was not to treat the paranormal as a load of rubbish. It also let me know that someone was keeping a watchful eye on me and even selecting my future partner for me before I even knew she existed. For that I am truely greatful as we have been together now for 41 years and in that time, believe it or not, we have not had any arguments. Which just goes to show that peace is possible, and it's not even hard work.

Love and peace,
Brinty
