Dead Bug Alive Again
Felix
Aurora, Illinois, USA
I've done a lot of lucid dreaming since I was eleven years old or so. Right
after I got type 1 diabetes, I noticed I had great control over dreams, so
I started to meditate and think about this reality and the fact that there
are alternate realities that exist alongside our own. I've noticed that the
more I think of different possibilities, the stranger things become. I've
gone as far as finding a dead bug that was drowned in water; I held it in
the palm of my hand and said to myself, “It’s dead in
this reality but alive in another,” over and over in my head,
while focusing on the bug saying that “It's dead body is part of
mine, like an extension of my body, the body God gave me.” I did
this for almost 30 minutes, saying over and over, “it's dead but
alive at the same time.” Somehow I shifted or shifted the bug to
be alive. I don't tell many about this because I myself wonder how this can
be accomplished—but it's possible, because I've done it. I'm 38
now so I've grown in my mind and feel I am much more and can be more.
Sometimes I feel as if I jump so much it's hard to know what's real and
what's alternate. I work in an auto salvage place where I remove car parts.
Since I'm real into things I do in the past will eventually effect the
future, lots of times I remove extra parts and I'll leave a note to my
future self saying, “from Felix of the past to Felix of the
future.” There are times when all at once myself thinks about
all three past present and future; at that one moment, I feel like I'm
thinking 4th dimensionally. When I meditate, I hear a very high- pitched
sound in my mind, almost like a frequency or wave, and for some odd reason,
street lights dim when I pass by. Maybe I'm vibrating or resonating to
high
Note from Cynthia: Thanks for letting me know about your lucid
dreaming experience, and your observation of a drowned bug coming back to
life in your hand. In a lovely synchronicity, I just within the past 24
hours heard from a dear friend who experienced something similar--seeing a
beautiful dead moth--wishing it was alive, and then after glancing away and
back again, it was! Clearly the hypothetical Schrodinger's cat scenario
plays out in our everyday reality much more often than many people realize.
Meditation and lucid dreaming are marvelous for helping people identify
more with consciousness than a particular physical reality, and keeping an
open mind to the notion that such things can occur definitely increases the
frequency with which we observe them.

Richard Pryor Alive Again
Jim
Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
I was happy to find your page on the Mandela Effect last night as this is
something that's been bugging me for at least 25 years. I can't say I have
a clear specific memory of Mandela having died in the 80's, but I did have
a vague sense that something didn't feel quite right with his later
emergence as a political and social leader. Curiously, his most recent
death day coincided with a particularly important date in my own life, but
that's another story. My first and most emphatic experience of the
phenomena actually centered on comedian Richard Pryor. (No, not related to
the setting himself on fire incident.) One morning in the late 80's I saw
his death announced on the Today Show with Bryant Gumbel & Jane Pauley. I
clearly remember them showing his pic with the birth & death years posted.
I remember a cable channel running a Richard Pryor movie memorial the next
weekend. In a casual conversation with a friend in 1992, they mentioned
something about something recent involving Richard Pryor, and I was
flabbergasted. That was back in pre-internet days, but I went to the
library and did all the research I could to try and determine if there had
been some sort of publicity mix up or something with a re-announcement of
his death, but apparently not. I was still married when I heard about
Richard Pryor having died, thus it was before 1992. I see Jane Pauley left
the Today show in 1989, so "Point X" would have been before that. One of my
first thoughts re his death was related to him being in the first movie my
first son was taken to. The movie was Superman III which featured Richard
Pryor. My son had only been two or three years old when we took him to that
movie and when it was shown on cable as part of the R.P. memorial schedule
I remember telling my son about it having been his 1st movie. These are all
very specific and distinct memories, not just a vague sense about it you
see. Fast forward to 1995. I'd been divorced for a few years and very much
on a path of rediscovering and reconnecting with my pre-marital self which
included a resurgence of interest in "new age" and "mystical" types of
thinking. I'd had a very clear and rather powerful dream one night that
involved meeting two women and being with them on a mountaintop overlooking
Charlottesville Virginia (near where I live.) The day after that dream I
got together with a woman I'd met through some mutual friends. First time
I'd been to her house which it turned out was at the base of a mountain and
we decided to go for a hike up the mountain. Along the way a rather large
feather floated across my path--it was bright yellow, very unusual for this
area. At the top of the mountain there was a wooden observation tower
someone had built years ago--also very unusual and unexpected, but it was
pretty much identical to the one I'd seen in my dream the night before.
Anyway, sometime during the hike the woman I was with happened to mention
something about Richard Pryor, something that he was currently involved
with. I didn't know what to think and tried to tell her Pryor had been dead
for several years. From that point on I was obsessed with talking about
Richard Pryor and I'm sure my bizarre reaction (plus the fact that I wanted
to keep the yellow feather for myself) contributed to my never being
invited to see that woman again. However, a few weeks later I met the two
women who had been in my dream. They ran a new age gift shop in
Charlottesville that was called "Feather on the Wind". One of these women
became my life partner for the next 17 years and when we first got together
she lived directly in sight of the same mountaintop I'd seen in my dream
and had hiked to on Richard Pryor "Y" day. OK, long story, hope it didn't
bore you too much but I wanted you to see why my Richard Pryor memory has
had such a lasting impact. Since then I've had several other "dead then
alive again" incidents. None with the same personal impact, but I'm
wondering if others you hear from have had a similar turning point in their
own lives that was associated with a broader reality shift?
Incidentally, while most of my dead-alive memories have included
celebrities there has been one that did not. That one involved my high
school guidance counselor. I'll spare you the details for now, but a few
months after his second death my own father also died and at his burial
service I was surprised to see that the next tombstone over belonged to the
guidance counselor.
Since then I have had so many similar experiences I've lost track. Several
of the names in your survey would be on my list and I am currently stunned
to see that Ed Asner is alive again as he most certainly died a few years
ago. One suggestion I have for you is to apply a date to the posts and
surveys on your site so that those of us who discover the info months/years
after they were posted can keep it in proper context. My mind whirls with
the possibilities for research and explanations. I plan to delve more
thoroughly into your postings and hope to communicate more in the near
future. Thanks for putting all this out there.
Note from Cynthia: Thanks for writing to me about your
recollection of Richard Pryor having passed away at some point in the
1980s. And now that you mention it, I also remember having been surprised
at some later point in time to see him alive and kicking. Thanks so much
for including the "X," "Y," and "Z" dates for your Richard Pryor alive
again experience, in addition to some of the emotional connections
developing at the "Y" time when you became aware of what suddenly became a
missing event in history around point "X" in time. Yes, the "Y" moment of
noticing something has changed is a bifurcation moment, and quite often at
the time of noticing a previous change, people do report recognition of
some kind of noteworthy emotional / energetic activity around that time.
Your observation of a feather that you felt a need to keep at that time of
noticing you remembered Richard Pryor's previous death while others
suddenly didn't is a marvelous example of encountering the bifurcation "Y"
point in time, since the feather took on much greater significance soon
thereafter, as did the mountain area where you were hiking.
Buildings Change Along Freeway
Thomas
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
In an earlier email I mentioned my experience of a few years back when
hundreds of thousands of buildings along the highways of Southern
California changed overnight. This included such things as a popular
architectural feature of a rounded top to many buildings that DID NOT HAVE
such a feature before the shift. Also, were entire developments--shopping
centers and gated communities--that either where no longer there or (most
interestingly, to me) HAD BEEN BUILT but had been constructed on a
different site miles away and/or on the opposite side of the highways
involved.
Had a mini-version of this a few months back when Rhonda and I made a trip
to Las Vegas (from where we were living in Palm Desert, California) and
rented an apartment in Vegas to move to. When we drove back to Palm Desert
that same day I missed our exit off the highway (and continued to miss it
in the coming weeks when out shopping and preparing for the move) because
the strip mall on the north side of the highway and the large round
building on the south side of the highway--my reference points for when to
take the correct exit -- had suddenly ceased to exist.
Again and again these more "personal" changes/shifts seem to usually be
connected to sudden changes or on-the-spot decisions made in my life that
set a new direction that had not been consciously planned for even moments
or hours before I made that change. Hmmmm.
Note from Cynthia: Thank you so very much for sharing with me
your experience of buildings changing along the freeway with entire
developments not there--and with new architectural features of
distinctively dome-top buildings appearing subsequently as if they'd always
been there. I especially appreciate your observation that many of these
kinds of sweeping changes to architectural landmarks along roadways have
been associated with changes in decisions or thoughts you were having at
the time. This is in keeping with my observations and what I write about in
my book, "Reality Shifts: When Consciousness Changes the Physical World."
And thanks so much for letting me know you also remember Thanksgiving on
the 3rd Thursday of November--to the point that you'd determined there must
have been some kind of official change during your lifetime. That's the
same assumption I'd made, until I looked a little more closely and realized
no such official change had occurred in my lifetime to date!
I enjoyed your appearance on Art
Bell’s show last night. The Star Wars line has me freaked
out. I grew up with those movies in the 80s and of course remember Darth
Vader saying “Luke, I am your father.” A Simpsons
episode even parodied it. This thread from Yahoo! Answers says it never
happened either. The Simpsons quote occurs in Season 6, Episode 22:
‘Round Springfield. The quote still exists in the episode.
Searching for “Luke, I am your father” brings up
articles which say that people frequently misquote it. Yet I asked a friend
who grew up with Star Wars as well and he remembers the original line. So
there you go.
I’ve experienced a few of these reality shifts, and wanted to
tell you about the biggest. In the late nineties I heard on the radio that
Ronald Reagan had died. A friend and I talked on the phone and discussed
the story as part of our conversation. He said that he listened to Michael
Reagan’s talk show, and Michael said the family would have a
quiet service and asked the public to respect their privacy etc. I filed it
away in my head as a newsworthy event that happened.
Imagine my surprise when a few years later I heard on the radio that Ronald
Reagan had celebrated his birthday. The report mentioned his deteriorating
mental health, and said the family did its best to help. A year or so later
I heard another report that he died. Again.
I totally remember the first time happening. It did not happen in a dream.
I did not imagine it. I remember it as a real event. And yet it happened.
I had another incident when my grandfather passed away. My grandmother gave
me a money clip he used. I stored it away in my drawer as a keepsake.
One day I decided to use it to put some ones in for a train ride. I used
the money to buy my ticket. When I returned home I found to my horror that
I had lost it. I emptied my pockets, and even turned them inside out, but
the clip had gone. I went to bed feeling annoyed with myself for losing it.
The next day I woke up, picked up my pants, and found the money clip in the
pocket.
A similar thing happened with a crystal skull. It disappeared and I could
not find it anywhere. Then almost two years to the day I found it on the
floor by the front corner of my bureau. No way it could have rested there
for that long without someone finding it. No way!
Thanks for giving a name to this. I will check out your work further. If I
had not experienced these events I would just pass them off as
mis-remembering events, and just a bunch of new age fluff. But I know what
I experienced!
Note from Cynthia: Thank you for your email! I'm really glad you
listened to my interview with Art Bell on "Midnight in the Desert" last
night, and recognized the connection with reality shifts you've experienced
over the years. That's a great observation about the line in Star Wars,
"Luke, I am your father" having shown up in a Simpson's episode, and now
it's gone, too.
Regarding Ronald Reagan--Wow. I also have a vague recollection of having
heard of his having passed away, only later to be quite startled that he
was still alive.
I'm glad to hear that your grandfather's money clip returned to you, inside
one of the pockets you'd undoubtedly been sure to check the day before.
And I love how your crystal skull wandered off somewhere for two years, and
then returned on the floor by the front corner of your bureau--and by your
surprise, it sounds like we can rule out it having been borrowed by someone
stealthily and then returned.
Guess what Cynthia! It worked, I’ve duplicated something! I
prayed actually also to Jesus and Holy Mary (they are great for reality
shifts) and also prayed to my spirit guides, and actually it worked!
I’m still though so flabbergasted that I’m 90% sure
even if I got facts, creepy facts actually that are like a sign it actually
did happen. Like maybe I didn’t remember good, but still? I have
a great memory; I even remember things when I was two years old so, anyway,
here is the duplication story. I had a box with chocolate bonbons. I
didn’t want to eat it all at one time, and since the television
had good movies, I’ve decided to keep some fancy bonbon for the
night and next day so I wouldn’t just have chips and cheap
chocolate. Of course it’s hard to keep your hands off, so after
eating almost all the box, I was left with two chocolate bonbons. I kept a
promise to myself to actually save them for the movie. Well, I
couldn’t resist, and decided to eat half of one bonbon. So I had
half of one bonbon and another whole one. Then I said to myself I
shouldn’t have done that, and wished there was one more! Because
three would be a decent amount, and now because I had been so stupid, I had
just 1 and a half! Then I opened the box, and I saw another half one! I was
shocked, and thought, “Whaaaaaaaaaat.” I
don’t even remember that I also ate the half of another bonbon,
because I clearly remember having 2 and a half bonbons. Not one whole, one
half and also another half one! I thought, “Maybe
I’ve also eaten half of the third bonbon—but
I’m 100% sure that I didn’t. But because of the shock
and almost disbelief, I’ve tried to convince myself that I made
a mistake, but Hey, I’m not crazy. Anyway, the point is that if
you see teeth marks and the shape of the bite, it’s milimetric
identical to the one I’ve eaten half of. I don’t know
if you remember Uri Geller, but when he draws something he see in his
vision that the men on his show has with him, it’s also
milimetrically identical. I’m really thinking that
I’ve duplicated the half one I’ve eaten, because I
clearly remember that I had one whole and one half one! I even remember
thinking lets eat it anyway, because what’s the point of having
just one bonbon and a half one in the box for the movie. Too bad I
didn’t duplicate the whole bonbon, so I would have two whole
bonbons, but hey, whatever. I’ve still gotten a half one for
free!
Before the duplication, I was totally tired of it (because in the past it
didn’t work). I felt like I didn’t have any energy at
all, and I was tired. Then I remembered a story in the Bible where Jesus
magically made sure there were a lot of fish for fishermen, because before
they had been starving to death and there were no fishes. So that memory
made me feel enthusiastic enough to actually pray, but it was like a fast
prayer like, “Whateverr blah-blah-blah.” But the
result is great! When I do focus on something and WANT it, I never seem to
get it. I get tired of it, I guess, because I’m spoiled, so if I
want something, it must already be there. I then get irritated and
negative! So maybe it was a good thing that I was in a bad mood. One
spiritual person told me that’s because if I want something
it’s the ego (third chakra), and if I stop wanting it, then
I’m more in the heart area. I guess she's right!
Note from Cynthia: WOW! Getting an extra chocolate bon-bon is a
great application of reality shifts! I often find I have some never-ending
supplies of some things, such as food supplies that seem to last forever
with no restocking required, and a "disposable" razor I bought four decades
ago that is just as sharp today as ever, so I've never thrown it out. I
used to think this kind of thing was normal, but now I realize most people
don't know such things are even a possibility, so if they do happen, they
likely don't even notice. Good job paying attention to all the little
things! I like how you were thinking of Jesus with the miracle of the
loaves and fishes! Yes, that's just like the bonbon duplication! And
I’ve also found heart-centeredness most effective for
experiencing all kinds of reality shifts.
I Also Remember Expresso
Joanna
Rotterdam, Netherlands
About that kid with his reality shift story in your recent
newsletter. I also remember coffee being spelled and called "Expresso."
I confirmed that my mom also remembers it as “expresso," and
then later it changed. I remember when I was a kid I saw it on the menu of
a shop. My mom said, “I will have an Expresso,” and I
asked my mom, “What’s an expresso?” and
she said, “It’s coffee.” I always made fun
of my mom ordering expresso, and also calling it loudly to the waitress,
because the word sounded funny to me as a child. In my child fantasy, it
sounded so nice the word expresso like a word for a hunk thats is
very tough guy. Well, when I was 18, I remember ordering it and I clearly
remember the word on the menu as being “Expresso.”
Then I remember a few years later when I was 22 years old that something
about it appeared on the national news in Holland.
Spelling the word as "Expresso" wouldn’t be allowed, because it
doesn’t make grammatical sense to place an “x" in
that word.
So thats why it was re-spelled as “Espresso," but the people
would still keep pronounce it as Expresso, and so they did
until I was about 24 years old. Then when I was 25, it was everywhere as
"Espresso" like it always had been called, spelled and pronounced as
"Espresso." I had a lot of drama and instability going on in my life at the
time, with financial and other wishes that didn’t come
true—Not knowing what I would want to do in my life: whether I
was going to be a model, or a DJ, or a lawyer. Maybe times like that are a
reason we remember different things?
Note from Cynthia: I love how you mention your current memories
of when you last recall having mostly seen "expresso," and how long ago it
was that this came to your attention as kind of noticing something changed.
It seems like in this case, the sound of the word changed as well as the
spelling, and the changes occurred at a couple of points in time.
During this time when a growing number of people are starting to notice
alternate histories related to things that many of us remember differently,
we have an opportunity to more openly discuss the topic of reality shifts
and quantum jumps. Asking friends and family how they remember the word
"expresso" coffee being spelled is a great way to bring the subject up, and
then if they also recall the "expresso" spelling, you can continue talking
about some of the other topics now being mentioned such as: Berenstein
Bears, Nelson Mandela dying while in prison, other celebrities "alive
again" after reputable reports of their having previously died, and many
others.
20 Years Ago Our Teacher Told Us Mandela
Died
Joanna
Rotterdam, Netherlands
I remember being about eight years old around 20 years ago, when our
teacher was talking about Nelson Mandela. He looked shocked, as he told us,
“Mandela died in prison.” So all the kids and I were
like, “Whoooooooo, that’s sad!” (even if
we didn’t even knew who Mandela was anyway at that age, haha).
Then I remember about a week later that our teacher said, “Kids,
kids! I have some news! Mandela actually didn’t die. The people
thought he died, but he actually escaped.” So the kids and I
were happy. And so I remember Mandela was alive for a very long time, until
I was about 24. Then I remember when I was just 25 years old, that he was
very ill, and then he actually died about 2 years ago. I watched a
documentary on television about Mandela’s life because it was
like on every channel, describing his time in prison when he really
suffered, and how when he got out of prison he cheered all the people and
waved at them. Anyway, Mandela was never big subject for me. I was way too
busy with other stuff, so I didn’t pay much attention, but now I
do, because it’s strange that people remember
Mandela’s death differently. So whats your experience with him?
And are more people convinced he's dead or alive?
Note from Cynthia: I heard Mandela died a while back (just
recently), and was surprised at the time that this happened, since I
recalled he'd died so many years ago while in jail. Now when I look to see
what the current official story is, it looks like he never did escape,
according to this article and others like it:
http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2013/07/01/197674511/nelson-mandelas-prison-adventures
I've noticed sometimes when reality shifts, people make cover story
explanations to fit what "must have happened" since of course someone can't
die twice, right?! Well, actually it seems many people not only can die
twice, but do die twice, and many such celebrity "alive again" stories have
been covered on the realityshifters site over the years. The recent
excitement with people noticing lots of people now recall memories of
Mandela having died twice is what's so interesting, since (finally!) there
is a groundswell of growing interest in the idea of alternate histories.
With alternate histories, it's helpful to notice when one comes to
attention at least three points on the timeline, including our best sense
of (1) when, if ever, we seem to recall the person having died before, (2)
at what point in time we started noticing reports of another death, and (3)
at what earliest point in time, if any, before the time of a second death
did we notice that person alive and well. These timeline indicators help
provide a way of grasping the way shifts in our individual and collective
memories occur.
I am forwarding a message to you because it is interesting that I would
receive this e-mail message yesterday from a Jewely Sandollar on October
8th. I wrote up a newsletter about the SANDDOLLAR back in June of 2015, and
Jewely commented on it when the newsletter first came out in June and said,
"THAT'S WHY I AM A SANDOLLAR" ~ and now, all of a sudden here we are four
months later, and the e-mail shows up again ~ like it is brand new fresh on
October 8th from Jewely Sanddollar, as if she had not commented on the
e-mail back in June, and is commenting for the first time in October 2015.
This definitely segues with the work you are so dedicated to with showing
folks about timeline jumping ~ shifting timelines ~ reality shifting, etc.
You can see the date of this E-mail is October 8th 2015. You can see the
date when the original newsletter first came out (June 2015), if you follow
the links.
Note from Cynthia: Thanks so much for letting me know about this
time-delayed facebook post from Jewely Sandollar that came through some six
months after you first saw it back in June! This indeed seems very unusual,
and not something I’ve heard much of before.
