I have had some really strange, (sometimes scary) things happen in my life. The truth is I do not feel comfortable laying them out on a forum.

I can tell you something though. These people "speaking in tongues" - I think most of them are just full of it and make up words that make no sense and say them in front of the church so everyone can see them. But years ago I was so severely sick from anxiety, panics, obsessive thoughts and more and I ended up in a rehab for valium withdrawl when I really should have been in a hospital and been treated for my mental illness. Anyway, I stayed sick for several more months than I had to and after the rehab I went to the Christian prayer circle with my friend who thought it would be good for me, ( So anyway, I was sitting in the back, trying hard not to hear what what was going on around me and all of a sudden I heard my mouth talking. And it was something I did not understand. And as soon as I was aware of it I shut my mouth so it wouldn't happen again. So I guess this idea of "talking in tongues",(without all the faking) can really happen. I see no reason why it has to be a Christian thing. I am not a Christian but I try to be a Buddhist. And may I just point out that when this happened I was NOT psychotic or delusional. Maybe it is some spiritual thing. I don't know because I didn't stay around to find out!

Also I will tell you that I have studied the I Ching for many many years and I usually get good readings and am able to figure things out.

If you want to ask me a question just PM me or if you want to know some of the things that happened PM me too.
