That is strange, guru not. My mother used to read Turkish coffe cups. That's the real thick coffee in little cups. She'd turn the cups over and then read the lines - kind of like reading palms. All the ladies would have coffee with her and then insist she read their cup. It all seemed rather harmless but I heard later that my dad didn't like her doing it - he thought it was sort of like witchcraft.
Isn't there a religion that Madonna is involved in that's an ancient form of Judaism that's very mystical? I think there is something to this mysticism - but it's creepy and scary. I think we have a spiritual side that if we don't know what we are doing, we can end up being nuts.
It happens to me too. I often have dreams or feelings that are forewarnings and it creeps me out. It started with simple things like dreaming where my lost snake was. After we found him in the spot where I found him in my dream, I had another horrible dream about him, that something bad happened and he died. My husband got some cedar bedding for him. The snake freaked out and was trying to get out of the cage, the next day he was dead. I found out that cedar is lethal to snakes. Dummy, why didn't I connect my dream to this snake trying to get out of the cage? I get these kind of dreams a lot.
Some years later we moved to a remote area in the mountains. There are 30 miles of winding, mountain roads that have sometimes up to 300 to 400 foot cliffs. Although I had driven the road in the past on several ocassions and it never bothered me, I was now terrified and would drive up the road with my knuckles white on the steering wheel. I also had a very strong preminition of something very bad happening. After a few weeks of that and no let up, my daughter and her boyfriend and I were coming home one night when we ran into an accident where a car went off the cliff and two people died. We had to stop and help them as there was no one around. After that, those feelings went away and I could drive the road without the white knuckles. I don't know why I should have these forebodings, it doesn't seem to help in anyway.
There's other things too, but that's enough for now. That's funny that you were around this board in the beginning - it sure has changed hasn't it?
