On 30th April in 2005, I asked my mother over the phone whether anything odd had happened to her lately, since there always seemed to be a connection between the 'phenomena', my mother and myself. She went quiet for a moment. I said, "Well, did it?" She laughed and said, "Yes. When you left the message on the answering machine last night I walked into my bedroom and switched the light on and it blew a bulb."
My mother had also had an odd incident occur in relation to a seed pod from a palm tree that grew in her backyard. She had been concerned for some time now that her own dog Ruby was always trying to eat them once they fell from the tree. Then one day after having swept the path clear of them, she turned around to see one pod sitting in the middle of the path that had not been there a moment before. She had found it disconcerting and so she rang me in Darwin in order to tell me about it. She had also experienced the stomping up the front stairs at night that caused her to investigate, but noticed that the sensor light had not been set off. It was like whatever was happening to me happened to her, as if our consciousnesses or events were linked somehow.
During this time I started to experience constant coincidences and I seemed to be able to predict future events. I knew when people would contact me and who I would see that day. I could feel people's emotions towards me from a distance, even from thousands of kilometres away. These occurrences increased and were usually in regard to small everyday matters. Often there would be entire sequences of events, as if I was walking into a future that had already happened. It also felt as if I was being given constant reminders of a presence greater than my own.
Around this time the number plate 'phenomena' started up. First a maroon 4WD with 666 on the plate pulled in front of me. I noticed it and felt strange. Later that day while still running errands, I saw the exact same car in the carpark that I had pulled into. Then I saw it for the third time that day out on the road in front of me. The next Friday it was in the same carpark again. I thought to myself, okay, nothing weird about that. He parks there. Then, an hour later, another small white vehicle with 666 on its plates pulled up in front of me. I finally caught on that this was going to keep happening until 'they' got my attention. Once I realised that this was happening, it would stop.
The number 666 held significance for me. Firstly I did not have the Christian belief that the number 666 was evil. I had read that, numerologically, it stood for 'universal love'. So in this instance it would appear that 'the universal consciousness' was reminding me that 'universal love' was present in the world.
Back in Darwin the dry season was on its way again. But there was little I could see of it, since my upstairs balcony looked out onto a corrugated iron roof and the carpark for the townhouses below. I knew it was going to be one of those CFIDS days, where I would not be leaving the room. Tricia brought me up a cup of tea and came in for our morning chat. She was sitting on the bed. I sat at the desk facing the double glass door that led onto the balcony. I saw a small white light the size of my index finger out of the corner of my eye. It looked like a smattering of triangles had moved across my face. The conversation stopped. Tricia said that she had seen something. I said, "Well, it wasn't a reflection from outside, because that light was in the centre of the room." She said, "I didn't see a light. I saw a shadow pass across your face, as if something moved across it." |
