You reach to your higher self. Your reincarnated self still remembers this is just your physical self and you can remove to watch and interpret every day occurences at will. This has happened to me, I have detached and watched but only in times where I have been in imminent danger or distress. I was in a physically abusive relationship once and when I was being beaten, I was able to step out completely from myself, from my body and observe without feeling the pain. Do not be concerned this was many years ago and although I carry a few scars I have moved past this time. I was in a bad car accident and the same exact thing happened, in fact my family had to call my name over and over before I sort of stepped back in and reacted to the trauma. These happen only in times of more pain then I can tolerate but it always happens when it is needed. I guess I am asking if you have had any escapes when you were a young child and if you have just perfected the skill or if anyone else has had these other feelings. You always hear stories of in these times, they felt they were watching it in slow motion as if detached! |
That is amazing. AMAZING! I have never had the opportunity to speak with people who understand. This feels wonderful. I grew up an only child and pretty lonely. Parents were bi-coastal AND divorced...so, I was the 8 year old flying alone from Maryland to California 3 times a year. I used to detatch EVERY FLIGHT. Not because I was afraid, but because I was a little pissed off about it and feeling pretty alone.
I also had an abusive marriage and subsequent divorce. Now that you mentioned it, the times when I practiced removing myself from myself most in front of the mirror, where times when I was in great distress. I must have learned over time how to do it as an automatic response to distress. And, I have learned that I can see right through to others' deepest intent. (I don't know if that is their spirit, soul, thoughts, or what it is really). But, I can definitely see it. That may have been a defense mechanism I developed also because out of all of the things that are most important to me about relationships and people, AUTHENTICITY is pretty high on the list. Thank you so much for sharing your experience SassyDarlyn!
