Oooh! Thanks so much for the additional sharing, Pickle. The activity you experienced in your home with your first pregnancy - and are experiencing again with this pregnancy - sounds wonderful. What is your six year old like now?
Yes, I've come across that with just about everyone I know as well - although I've only spoken with adults about this. And, yeah, lots of folks pass it off as something mundane but I know that for me this is an effect of the increased energy shifts of late. I've also had almost zero ability to connect with linear time; can't tell you what day it is without looking it up, and time of day is pretty much meaningless. This would be a much larger issue for me if my time was any more structured than it is right now. Fortunately work is located in my home and I schedule my own hours.
Another really widespread thing I've noticed is that most of the spirituality-minded people I know - regardless of their paths - have experienced huge changes in how they socialize, mostly toward socializing less and with fewer people. Also noticed a similar trend in the couple of spirituality-based forums I visit: much fewer people posting fewer posts. Again I attribute my own changes along these lines to the energetic shifts of the past two years or so. Can't speak for others.
Very nice post, fairyfarmgirl! Well said.
Back to Pickle. You wrote, "I have an open mind but also analytical. I think I have a huge amount of interest in this knowledge but I don't have that quiet center or stillness that you need."
Back when I started on my spiritual path and my perceptions were awakened, I did need to find my 'quiet center' in order to explore spiritual reality but in this past year the way my connections and perceptions work has changed dramatically, and - again - I attribute this to the energetic shifts that have occurred this past year. I find my perceptions open suddenly but unobtrusively in unexpected ways and places that are rarely quiet or still (and, by the way, this is directly related to my short term memory loss and changes in socialization as well). Perhaps you'll find the knowledge you seek doesn't require that you make yourself do things against your nature (like finding your quiet center) in order to access it. I think it's necessary to listen for the answers but that one doesn't necessarily have to listen in a quiet space. You know -- listen in between the internal thoughts and external noises. I'd encourage you to honor your perceptive abilities by finding what they are rather than deny them on the basis that you can't access them the same way other people do.
Perceptive abilities can vary dramatically from one person to the next; while one person might 'see' energy, entities, visions, etc, another person may have more tactile perception involving vibration, temperature, etc or yet another might have more dominant 'hearing' perception -- or of course any combination of these. And the type of information that is relevant to one individual may be very different from that of another: some are more attuned to the past (like many of fairyfarmgirl's psychometric perceptions), some the present (healers tend to be very present-oriented), some the future (psychics)... really often there's a combination of those but in each individual one is often stronger than the rest.
Folks who have difficulty opening their perceptive abilities often have rigid expectations regarding what must be done in order to access perception, what perception must be like, etc, and these expectations can really hinder one's progress.
I'm glad you found Bring4th, Pickle! Thanks so much for sharing here.

Quote:Another phenomenon I have noticed affecting everyone is short term memory loss. I haven't asked anyone under 20 but everyone has noticed it and they all have an excuse including my wife. Excuses range from "thought it was from smoking pot" to pregnancy, arthritis, age, "because of the water" (bad quality water here)
