Deja Spook!

January 23, 2014

I've been a bit tired lately, things are getting busier by the day. That's a good thing because I always find when I am tired I can connect better. I think it's because my fizzy brain can't overrule my spooky brain so easily! 

I like to interact on my facebook page and an interesting question came up the other day about deja vu. Deja vu is quite simply french for "already seen" but I am not sure if it was "discovered" by a Frenchman or whether "haven't I been here before at some point?" is just too much of a wordy mouthful! 

Anyway so as I always do I go off to find Arty and have a bit of a chat about it and I was quite surprised about the outcome of our discussions. Many people think deja vu is a remnant from a past life. I mused with Arty if that is the case if you, for example, go into someone's house and hang up your coat and think "Wow I feel like I have already done this!" how can it be a past life thing because the house and the friend, and probably the coat too weren't there in your last life?Past life theories are so hard to nail down because there is no proof. I don't do past life readings although there is part of a chapter in my book about how I asked my spooks about my past life and got more than I bargained for!

Anyway we definitely are not talking about past lives. Take it or leave it. What we are talking about is the disconnection of the spiritual and the human, albeit momentarily. Everyone loves to use the spiritual for the predictive. So what if your human self and your spooky self split for a second and you have an accidental peek into a future situation? Albeit really mundane, only seconds away? Probably the most boring explanation possible, but that's it.

Being drawn to places and feeling like you have been there is a totally different and more complex thing. That is about a sense from the spiritual self, the shards of a memory perhaps or just a familiarity. I know that I have lived in certain houses and towns and never really felt any sense of belonging or being "at home." Yes there are other places that I immediately feel at ease with. It's generally not a feeling of "I've been here before" though more like a feeling of familiarity and comfort, and as I said totally different to deja vu.

Sorry the explanation wasn't more complex but for once I get what Arty is talking about straight up! Not everything about spook is scientifically impossible to understand, sometimes it really is that straight forward!
