Cosmic Connections?

    Basically my question is this, do you believe in “cosmic connections” and there effect on our relationships.

    The reason I ask this is because I was going out with a girl for a couple of months, we broke up but until recently we remained friends. I told her I still had feelings for her and she now wants nothing to do with me. On the recommendation of another friend I went to a fortune teller who told me that we were “cosmically connected” and although in his professional opinion I should walk away, in his personal opinion I should wait for her to come back and that she will.

    I am giving the space that she wants, I’m not trying to contact her in any way but I don’t know if I should give up and move on or wait for her. Before anyone asks in my opinion she is worth waiting for but I can’t wait for ever.

    'I believe in cosmic connections.

    Doesn't mean you should have a relationship with that person in this life, or that it should be any particular type of relationship.

    If anything, there's a lot to be said for avoiding getting involved people you've such connections with. There can be enough baggage involved in being with people as it is without getting involved with someone you've got past life issues with.'

    cosmic - see my tagline: Mundus Vult Decipi. Roughly translated it means "the world wants to be deceived". Unless you can scientifically or logically prove something, it's unwise to believe it and downright stupid to base important decisions upon it.

    Would you invest your life savings based on the predictions of Mystic Meg? No? Then why would you invest your emotional wellbeing in the claptrap spouted by another shyster?

    No I don't.
    Nor do I believe in anything a fortune teller has to say.

    No, I don't believe in all that nonsense.

    & life's too short to wait for something that might never happen.

    Get on with your life & if it happens, it happens, but don't sit around til you're grey waiting.
    What's for you won't go by you.

    Whatever about cosmic connections people certainly have deeper connections with some people than with others. Right now if she does not want anything to do with you, then you must get on with your own life.

    You can reassess the situation if and when she comes back to you, until then get on with your life :)

    Is the above quote the real answer to your question that you need to consider? Why you broke up, and why "she now wants nothing to do with me" ?

    I do. Even if i believed there was a connection to someone, i wouldn't base my life around it, i would let it progress as it will.

    The "fortune teller" told you nothing more than what you wanted to hear. Move on with your life. If the girl comes back, then deal with it then. It's unhealthy to go about assuming she's going to come back to you.

    Cosmically connected could mean a whole range of thing and a whole range of possible past life relationships; from someone you had a parent child relationship with, someone you had a sibling relationship with to someone who you killed or killed you in a past life.

    It can be intresting if you are into that sort of thing but it is nothing to be basing your life on this time arround.

    Maybe in this life the lesson you need to learn is to walk away from her and get on with your own life.

    At last- balanced, informed opinion.

    OP- fortune tellers can tell you jack shít, save for honing in on what you want to hear as someone else said. So what it you were connected in some way. As Thaedydal says, you dont have to act on it in this life. Awareness can suffice.

    But as all have said, dont let yourself get hung up on it. If you want to do something constructive, go get some reiki, break the ties and then you can look at things rationally.

    Thanks for all the replies guys, you’re probably right; that they are full of it and play on people emotions, I guess the only real way to know how she feels is to get on with life and if she comes back, she comes back and if not……well it was fun while it lasted!!
