There is no growth without change. You’ve got to let go of some old stuff. And that can hurt. Often when I’m in the most pain, I realize it’s coming from my trying to control everything. Or resisting the changes that come with the progress. But you see that light… that beautiful next level… and that’s what you have to focus on. -Ali Brown
JUST LIKE A GRENADE
SUNDAY, March 17, 2013.
So much has been running into my mind these past few days. Shattered with disbelief. Really, it sucks. I never thought this would happen this fast. It’s as if I woke up from a dream. That surreal feeling I can’t really explain. My mind still is baffled, spirit crushed and I could say, I’m emotionally damaged. Have you ever felt that feeling?
It’s difficult to see what God is doing in your life. It’s challenging when God keeps you in the dark only shining a light on your path but not on the bigger picture. You don’t understand His ways, you’re confused and shaken. It’s gut wrenching when God uses the opposite of what you desire…
Top 10 Strange Phenomena of the Mind
1. Deja vu
Deja vu is an experience of having seen or experienced a new situation previously. It feels like if the event has already happened before. The experience is usually accompanied by a strong sense of familiarity and a sense of paradox or bizarre. The “previous” experience is usually attributed to a dream, but sometimes there is a constant feeling that it really has happened in the past.
2. Deja Vecu
Deja vecu is what most people experience when they think they are having a deja vu. Deja vu is when one has a feeling that he has seen something before, whereas deja vecu is an experience of having seen an event before, but with great detail as to recognize the smells and sounds. This also is usually accompanied by a very strong sense of knowledge about what will happen next.
3. Deja senti
Deja senti is a phenomenon of having already felt something. The phrase “I have felt it before” perfectly captures deja senti. It is only a mental phenomenon and seldom remains in our memory later. Many epileptic patients often experience deja senti.
4. Deja Visite
Deja visite is a less common experience and includes an unexplained knowledge of a new place. For example, you may know the location around you (a new city or a landscape) although you have never been there before.
