I will be taking some journeys into my past. Yes, I do believe I have lived before and will live on...but in different bodies and even in different worlds outside 'this' world.
Ever since I was child I had hints into this world. My parents would tell me I was just dreaming or had a very vivid imagination. I knew what I saw. As a child from 4 until puberty, I saw and heard 'dead' people. Early on they scared the piss out of me! As I grew older, not so much. It didn't help any that my backyard abutted a cemetary. Often, I could hear my name called while in the backyard, but no-one was there but me.
Flying. At times I fly at night. Sounds weird, but I have a lot of flying 'dreams'. A Native American Seer Woman told me in her tradition these are out of body experiences and I was soul traveling. As a young kid, flying scared me, but as I got used to it...well, now I like it....for the most part.
So, to begin Samurai Shaman, I will be posting my past lives. Feel free to join in with comments and intreprations...and let the unfolding of my lives begin.
Hands palm to palm,
Shinzen
About Me
- David "Shinzen" Nelson
- Thanks for visiting. My Dharma name is Shinzen. I began studying Goshindo Karate under the watchful eye of Shihan Paul Dean in 1969. Yes, I now have gray hair. I am also Lay-ordained in Soto Zen under the tutelage of Rev. Nonin Chowaney of the Nebraska Zen Center.
I feel like your posts will give me some good food for thought on these matters. I can relate, but not in a way I'm set to say yet. I'll keep reading for now.
