So although I would like to dissociate myself with Amanda, I don't want to lose some of our friends.
Fair enough. Like I said, the situations aren't identical. I decided that I'd rather make new friends than deal with that crap, but that obviously won't work if they're your best friends.
Aww, I like being thanked...

My sister and her friends encountered the same thing when they first got started with all the paranormal stuff. Like, before they all came together via an online ad, they each knew very few people outside their families who were into paranormal stuff. They're all good friends now, and tbh, it's surprised me because I always tended to think that associations that began online never worked out in the long-term.
My sister first started actively searching for other like-minded people when she was 19 and, not long after that, she took a chance and met one of the girls, who had an ad up on some site, on her own. I suppose it's different when it's girls meeting up with other girls. But not long after that, she would meet up with these random people (male and female of varying ages) who were interested in their group on her own in pubs, and what have you, when any of the others couldn't make it. AFAIK, there was one woman (funnily enough) who was apparently "away with the birds" and one fella who was charming on the surface but fairly up his own arse. Anyway, I wouldn't advise anyone to do what she did, but she was determined to do all that as part of the 'sussing people out' process their group had to do for a fair few months.
My own experience with fellow paranormal-minded folk is that a lot of the interest is kept on the low - 'underground', so to speak. There are plenty of interested people out there getting together and furthering their mutual interest in the subject - it's just not spoken about a lot. Many people still take the piss out of the area (and the people in it), probably thinking we're all a shower of gullible f/ckin' eejits. But how can you claim to have come to a conclusion on the existence of anything paranormal until you've really got involved and active in the area? Tbh, I'm still not 100% certain about things like life after death and the different phenomena (psychokinesis, remote viewing, etc), but I'm doing my best to always keep an open mind.
Anyway it wouldn't be a bad idea to put together an ad. You don't need to be specific about where you're based (the name of the county will do), or anything else, until you've communicated enough with any respondants to be satisfied they aren't piss takers or weirdos. If you're meeting anybody, meet them in some public place, like a cafe or fast food place you don't frequent too often (so you won't meet them there in future, in case they turn out to be a bit odd or you just don't like them in person). Bring a couple of people with you as well on the day - for the purpose of moral support and for impartial observation.
With your age group (something that you should specify for any respondants to the ad), you'll be less likely to attract weirdos and probably more likely to attract piss takers, but it's better to take precautions anyway, as well as hoping for the best.
There are genuine people out there. You have very little to lose, and everything to gain. 0 -

So what? My sister is a Catholic and so am I (haven't been to mass in a while though
:rolleyes:). All of our family are Catholics and they've always been open about their paranormal experiences - from our aunts and our father, to our grandparents. They couldn't give a toss about what anybody thinks. When I was growing up in an area that had lots of Catholic families, as well as a few Jehovahs Witness and Protestant families, I remember everybody being very open about, and accepting of, things like ghosts, hauntings and even the bloody Banshee. :pac:
The Catholic Church's association with the occult goes back a long, long way. The Vatican even have a specially appointed exorcist called Father Amorth (see here),and the Bible is full of references to life after death, spirits, and angels. Screw what your teachers at your school think - if the Vatican and the Bible are cool with various aspects of the paranormal, I don't think you need to worry about what a few lowly teachers think. The only thing the Bible has been interpreted as being strongly against is conscious communication with spirits (through the ouija board, seances, etc). And keeping in mind the Commandment that dictates that people shouldn't have false gods, I suppose the religion of Spiritualism isn't viewed too fondly. Then again, I don't know what sort of 'god' they worship in Spiritualism (a general 'higher power'?).

She says she can see and i do believe that one and she definitely hears because her mom confirmed that one, but the feeling one . . . . . I know for a fact that she would have sensed Wander's and my unease!
Yeah, I was thinking the girl surely must know something to be able to do a bit of bullsh*itting to start with. It's funny (not 'funny ha, ha') how her mother was able to 'confirm' that Amanda hears stuff (clairaudience) - are psychics able to know that about people, e.g. that so-and-so is clairaudient and/or clairsentient or clairvoyant? I've always thought that I could see who was intuitive in a broad sense myself, but f/ck only knows in my mind whether they can hear, see, or feel stuff.Sunshine12 wrote: »Another problem is she is able to protect herself via grounding, I can do it too and Amanda claims that i'm a powerful grounder . . . . . but i can't seem to block her . . . she said something to me one day but i cant remember what on earth it was about! BTW I have a terrible memory so . . . .yeah, I might struggle with a few things!
It wasn't something about 'psychic attacks' or 'visualising a protective column of white/golden light' that she said to you, was it? I do believe that there are some people who can pick up on other people's thoughts or feelings even from a distance, which, in its worst 'use', is just plain bad manners and intrusive. This document here might be of some use to you, though I wouldn't go overboard with the fear that Amanda is 'attacking' you psychically and I also would take it all with a pinch of salt (the document's contents).
I would think that it's easier to 'attack', read the thoughts of, or manipulate, someone if you have a bond with them. So, you might think about breaking whatever skewed sort of bond you've established with Amanda. As well as trying to put some physical distance between you, you should give the cutting of 'psychic cords' a go. When you strike up an association with anyone (even including your own dog), a tie or a 'cord' is created between you. http://ezinearticles.com/?Cutting-the-Psychic-Energy-Chords&id=2086591. This can even be the case when that association is negative. Give the following meditation a go: http://www.cosmicawareness.org/html/cord_cutting_meditation.html if you're into meditation, that is.
The intent and the conscious visualisation in themselves are a good start to blocking out Amanda and her bullsh*t anyway. Btw, you should focus on what you want rather than what it is you don't want as the end result because, by focusing your energy (thoughts) on something - whether it's good or bad - you're 'sending' energy to it and sort of attracting it in the process. Keep that in mind. 0 -

I think he was just going for the "least humorous troll of the year" award. It's still very early in the year, but so far he's a strong contender 0 -
