I am not sure if it's Kundalini, being part of my neurodivergence, physical health problems, inner ear problems, or mental health problems or some or all of the above.
They all seem connected.

It all seems connected to my strong outerplanet influences and strong transneptunian dwarf planet/candidate influences.

it even seems connected to my being born on the 29th day of the month like my maternal grandmother which suggests hereditary/genetic traits
http://decoz.com/BdCard29.htm

I really don't think about the metaphysical much. It's just natural stuff to me that I don't put a lot of focus on.

I just know that I am not a normal person, and I knew that from a very early age. I was singled out for not being normal which led to my special education experiences, being teased by school peers and co-workers, and misdiagnoses by mental health professionals.

There is stuff that I wouldn't share with others.
I keep metaphysical stuff private for good reasons like psychiatry and conservative religion. I like to protect myself.

My best friend is a shaman. He is a Mexican with half of his ancestry being Native American.

He is also a neurodivergent with Dyslexic,Dyspraxic,ADHD traits like me.
He was even in special education classes like me too.
Because of those things, he and I found common ground easily.

He was originally just a healer that I was recommended to see by an intuitive consultant who told me that my life purpose is to help the Indigo/Crystal children.
She thought that I needed healing,and so she recommended him.

He and I met each other and we talked, and I found out that we had neurodivergence/special education in common. We have some Native American in common. Of course, he has far more than I do.
He invited me to eat dinner with him.
He was very touched by an astrological post that I made about him.
To make the long story short, he and I became best friends.
I am his assistant at psychic/holistic fairs.
That has led to making friends in the psychic/holistic community.

He happens to be strong in both outerplanet and transneptunian dwarf planet/energy.

A matter of fact,
He has Sun conjunct Eris within half a degree.
That goes well with my Sun oppose/conjunct Eris Nodes with 10 minute orb.

That really points to my meeting him to help prepare me for my life purpose that involves collective equality/diversity/discord (Eris Nodes).

I am very grateful for having him in my life.

His birthday is March 30th which is the same
birthday as my exgirlfriend, Meghann
I found that be a great synchronicity.

In Ancient Egyptian Astrology,
October 29th (my birthday) and March 30th fall under Isis in the ancient Egyptian zodiac.

well....I believe that ultrasensitivity runs in families

It certainly does in my family - both ultrasensitivity and neurodivergent conditions. Neurodivergents are ultrasensitive any way.

Strong metaphysical orientation seems to run in my family.

most people in my family have luminaries in watersigns

I am 2nd generation Lunar Piscean on my father's side
my father had Moon in Pisces likeme

I am a 3rd generation Lunar Watersign
on my mom's side
my mother has Moon in Scorpio
my maternal grandfather had Moon in Pisces like me

I am 4th straight generation Luminary Watersign
my maternal grandfather's mother had Sun in Cancer

Astro-heredity and overall Astro-genetics were some of my earliest astrological interests.

I should probably start meditating. I'm not sure if I've actively tried before. I let my mind wander a lot which leads me into this sort of trance and when I'm snapped out of it I tend to forget what I was even thinking. I wouldn't call that making my mind blank. I'm good with visualizations...is that any help?

Glaucus, usually the shamanic families aren't as powerful as the individual shamans that are called. I do believe that many things run in families. I have a friend who has clairvoyance running in his family. I used to be very skeptical about the whole crystal/autistic thing that people keep talking about, but my autistic step brother is extremely psychic.

Littlecloud, that helps a lot. One of the most important things in kundalini as well as shamanism is grounding every day. There are many visualizations for that, and I have to think about it several times a day too. You can also create shields as early in kundalini it's very easy to attract negative things when you're busy cleaning yourself out.

Sir Isaac Newton - believed to have Aspergers Syndrome. He was eccentric and spoke in a peculiar way.

Sir Isaac Newton PRS (4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727 [OS: 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727])[1] was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian, and is considered by many scholars and members of the general public to be one of the most influential people in human history. His Philosophić Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Latin for "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"; usually called the Principia), published in 1687, is one of the most important scientific books ever written. It lays the groundwork for most of classical mechanics. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Newton showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws, by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation; thus removing the last doubts about heliocentrism and advancing the Scientific Revolution.

Newton built the first practical reflecting telescope[7] and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many colours that form the visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound.

In mathematics, Newton shares the credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the development of differential and integral calculus. He also demonstrated the generalised binomial theorem, developed Newton's method for approximating the roots of a function, and contributed to the study of power series.

Newton was also highly religious. He was an unorthodox Christian, and during his lifetime actually wrote more on Biblical hermeneutics and occult studies than on science and mathematics, the subjects he is mainly associated with.

Steve Flores is the shamanic healer that I am seeing for healing work on myself. He was recommended to be by Anne Angelheart when I had a soul reading with her. I have seen him 3 times already since last month and will continue seeing him. He's pretty cool person,and he even gave me rides home. One of the things that I like about him is that he's down to earth,"keeps it real" for he's not the type to tell you what you want to hear,but what you need to hear. I get skeptical of people that tell me what I want to hear,and I get very suspicious of them. He told me that he has history of neurodivergent issues like me,and that helps makes me feel comfortable and not intimidated. It also helps me feel that he understands me because he knows personally what I have been going through. I feel that empathy through firsthand experiences with the same things is important in regards to somebody helping bring about healing in myself. He could relate to being an Indigo in regards to be a metaphysically oriented neurodivergent,and he shares my belief that the Indigo doesn't apply to a certain generation but some people in all generations.

His birthday is March 30th,and so he has the same birthday as my ex-girlfriend,Meghann!

Steve is a Hispanic Native American who has been offering intuitive readings with exceptional accuracy for over 20 years. He comes from the heart space, working from the connection he has with spirit and his ancestors. He has a high emphasis in assisting man kind for healing. He is a direct intuitive and conducts multidimensional card readings, Lakota card readings, and channels a variety of masters. He is a certified CMT in prenatal, pediatric, geriatric, pressure point therapy, deep tissue work, cellular level, and Myofascial release. He also offers house and business blessings, inner child and soul retrieval, and tools for oneness and internal life activations.

His Neptune conjuncts my Sun in Scorpio in 2nd and trines my Moon in 6th - dissolution of my ego and my feelings as in that he can help me be more open to the mystical and help me embrace them more openly that help with my security and health

His Mercury in Aries quincunx Neptune in Scorpio forms a yod with my Saturn in 9th which I believe has to do with his mystical communications dissolving rigid,restricting beliefs,views that I have

His Pluto in Virgo is in my 12th and the 4th leg to my t-square of Moon in Pisces in 6th, Saturn in Gemini in 9th,Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd. I believe this indicates that he can help bring about transformation,healing of my issues in regards to feeling of insecurity connected to my neurodivergent weaknesses/challenges,but also my feelings of conflict between limits and dissolution in regards to spiritual,religious beliefs,and views.

His Jupiter in Sagittarius conjunct my Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd ,oppose my Saturn in Gemini in 9th,square my Moon in Pisces in 6th indicates that he can bring about expansion of my mind in regards to mystical,metaphysical beliefs,views and help me be more confident in myself in regards to dealing with my neurodivergent weaknesses/challenges

His Chiron in Aquarius conjunct my Mars in Aquarius in 6th can indicate that he can help bring about healing in regards to my physical energy,health as well as be a motivating lifecoach. His Mars in Gemini in my 10th trine my Mars in Aquarius in 6th would also add to the lifecoach thing because it indicates motivating me through communications that affect my objectives,ambitions in life as well as can help create harmony with my energies in the areas of health,daily routine. This configuration indicates the energy,bodywork that he does on me.

His Sun-Eris cazimi conjuncts my retrograde Chiron in Aries in 8th,sextile my North Node in Aquarius in 5th which indicates that he helps bring awareness about my woundedness and needing to heal and help,but also help prepare me for my path working with neurodivergent children.

His Uranus conjuncts my Ceres-South Lunar Node in Leo in 11th,trine my Eris in Aries in 8th,and sextile my Midheaven which indicates a possible pastlife connection that involve the possibility of being part of a community,family that deviated from the norm,respected diversity connected to my aim of life.

His Scorpio Ascendant conjunct my Venus in Scorpio in 3rd,and his Venus trine my Ascendant indicates that he and I can strongly relate to each other and have an affinity with each other. The aspects can also indicate that he is supposed to help me work on relationship issues.

But yeah......I think that I am fortunate to know Steve,and I will definitely do everything that I possibly can to cooperate with him in regards to healing myself and that includes doing my own work on myself which he stresses is very important in the healing process. He will help me prepare for my lifepath as a holistic health practitioner,neurodiversity advocate,and helping fellow metaphysically oriented neurodivergents. He can end up being a great friend too.

KUIPER BELT OBJECTS involving personal planets/angles
Kuiper Belt Objects orbit beyond Neptune, and so they are transneptunians. Neptune is the planet of dissolution of boundaries, the kuiper belt objects go beyond the boundaries into the unknown. These energies could be so metaphysical that they can manifest as problems on the physical plane,and that could manifest as neurodivergence which is often viewed as disorder by society but has its strengths. The kuiper belt objects have highly eccentric orbits and orbit off the ecliptic,and so they can be about being a nonconformist and not fitting in with the mainstream.

mochai- I've actually had to visualize shields around me at times when I picked up too much energy from someone else. I never really believed sex as uniting people psychically until I it actually affected me that way. All of a sudden I was having crazy thoughts that would grip me in panic and I didn't know where they came from until I figured it was the last guy I was with. Once I did the visualization I felt a lot better.

It's written by Thom Hartmann in one of his books on ADHD in connection to Hunters:
The Edison Gene

ADHD: Gifted & Creative

I was in India in 1993 to help manage a community for orphans and blind children on behalf of a German charity. During the monsoon season, the week of the big Hyderabad earthquake, I took an all-day train ride almost all the way across the subcontinent (from Bombay through Hyderabad to Rajamundri) to visit an obscure town near the Bay of Bengal. In the train compartment with me were several Indian businessmen and a physician, and we had plenty of time to talk as the countryside flew by from sunrise to sunset.

Curious about how they viewed our children diagnosed as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), I asked, "Are you familiar with those types of people who seem to crave stimulation, yet have a hard time staying with any one focus for a period of time? They may hop from career to career and sometimes even from relationship to relationship, never seeming to settle into one job or into a life with one person — but the whole time they remain incredibly creative and inventive."

"Ah, we know this type well," one of the men said, the other three nodding in agreement.

"What do you call this personality type?" I asked.

"Very holy," he said. "These are old souls, near the end of their karmic cycle."

Again, the other three nodded agreement, perhaps a bit more vigorously in response to my startled look.

"Old souls?" I questioned, thinking that a very odd description for those whom American psychiatrists have diagnosed as having a particular disorder.

"Yes," the physician said. "In our religion, we believe that the purpose of reincarnation is to eventually free oneself from worldly entanglement and desire. In each lifetime we experience certain lessons, until finally we are free of this earth and can merge into the oneness of God. When a soul is very close to the end of those thousands of incarnations, he must take a few lifetimes to do many, many things — to clean up the little threads left over from his previous lives."

"This is a man very close to becoming enlightened," a businessman added. "We have great respect for such individuals, although their lives may be difficult."

Another businessman raised a finger and interjected. "But it is through the difficulties of such lives that the soul is purified."

The others nodded agreement.

"In America they consider this behavior indicative of a psychiatric disorder," I said.

All three looked startled, then laughed.

"In America you consider our most holy men, our yogis and swamis, to be crazy people as well," said the physician with a touch of sadness in his voice. "So it is with different cultures. We live in different worlds."

We in our Western world have such "holy" and nearly enlightened people among us and we say they must be mad. But as we're about to see, they may instead be our most creative individuals, our most extraordinary thinkers, our most brilliant inventors and pioneers. The children among us whom our teachers and psychiatrists say are "disordered" may, in fact, carry a set of abilities — a skill set — that was necessary for the survival of humanity in the past, that has created much of what we treasure in our present "quality of life," and that will be critical to the survival of the human race in the future.

There is immense power in how we choose to view what's happening around us, and this is terrifically important when we consider how we can best know our children and provide them with the upbringing they need — an upbringing that will lead them to become healthy, happy, functioning adults. The premise of this book is that children who have what we have come to know as ADHD are important and vital gifts to our society and culture, and, in the largest sense, can be an extraordinary gift to the world. In addition, for those adults who have been similarly diagnosed or defined, this book offers a new way of understanding themselves and their relationship to the world — a way that brings insight, empowerment, and success.

For one Glac...I 100% agree with you on the fact that not just a particular 'race' or 'ancestry' are those destined for Shamanism, or anything for that matter...and I too believe that true 'powerful' or 'experienced' souls have indeed experienced all sexes, races, religious groups, etc...I was discussing this with RiverDawg yesterday, and I 'know' I have been black before...and supposedly this blue-eyed, blonde does have some 'afro-american' heritage in this lifeline...

When you mentioned the neanderthal thing, which I had never heard of this in regards to Shamanism...Neanderthal is in my birth name, and was the first word LEXX showed me when looking at words in my name...interesting..

My family and I have very strong aspects to Anubis...one aspect I know I have off-hand is Anubis exactly oppose my Aura..

Becoming 'aware', or 'awakening'...Kundalini..none of it easy...perhaps Shamanism isn't easy either...the way I look at it is...if it's a calling from God...then you had better listen!lol I learned last year, the hard way, to start listening...I was trying to do my own thing, and it wasn't working! Once I started to truly listen, things began to change...I was reunited with my 'other-half', the love of my life, my son started to 'transform', doors started to open, and I am living my life the way that makes my 'soul' happy..

We have some company out...some UFO people...they have a Psychologist friend in the Los Angeles area who uses Astrology as well...I found it kind of interesting, and you all may as well...especially you Glac...here is the link to her site..

"Ah, we know this type well," one of the men said, the other three nodding in agreement.

"What do you call this personality type?" I asked.

"Very holy," he said. "These are old souls, near the end of their karmic cycle."

Again, the other three nodded agreement, perhaps a bit more vigorously in response to my startled look.

"Old souls?" I questioned, thinking that a very odd description for those whom American psychiatrists have diagnosed as having a particular disorder.

"Yes," the physician said. "In our religion, we believe that the purpose of reincarnation is to eventually free oneself from worldly entanglement and desire. In each lifetime we experience certain lessons, until finally we are free of this earth and can merge into the oneness of God. When a soul is very close to the end of those thousands of incarnations, he must take a few lifetimes to do many, many things — to clean up the little threads left over from his previous lives."

"This is a man very close to becoming enlightened," a businessman added. "We have great respect for such individuals, although their lives may be difficult."

Another businessman raised a finger and interjected. "But it is through the difficulties of such lives that the soul is purified."

The others nodded agreement.

"In America they consider this behavior indicative of a psychiatric disorder," I said.

All three looked startled, then laughed.

"In America you consider our most holy men, our yogis and swamis, to be crazy people as well," said the physician with a touch of sadness in his voice. "So it is with different cultures. We live in different worlds."

We in our Western world have such "holy" and nearly enlightened people among us and we say they must be mad. But as we're about to see, they may instead be our most creative individuals, our most extraordinary thinkers, our most brilliant inventors and pioneers. The children among us whom our teachers and psychiatrists say are "disordered" may, in fact, carry a set of abilities — a skill set — that was necessary for the survival of humanity in the past, that has created much of what we treasure in our present "quality of life," and that will be critical to the survival of the human race in the future.

There is immense power in how we choose to view what's happening around us, and this is terrifically important when we consider how we can best know our children and provide them with the upbringing they need — an upbringing that will lead them to become healthy, happy, functioning adults. The premise of this book is that children who have what we have come to know as ADHD are important and vital gifts to our society and culture, and, in the largest sense, can be an extraordinary gift to the world. In addition, for those adults who have been similarly diagnosed or defined, this book offers a new way of understanding themselves and their relationship to the world — a way that brings insight, empowerment, and success.

Now this Glac...touched me deeply...our lives have not been easy at all...I have no doubt with everything in me that our souls are those who are 'seasoned' I guess you could say...perhaps 'powerful', but I don't like to use that terminology...are our souls better than others? Absolutely not! Are we special? Absolutely! But so is every soul...
These times we are living in, and headed towards has called forth souls with experiences in which I am trying to figure out...a few of us have ancestors who were Native American healers, and Psychics...
My personal opinion, and intuition tells me, that there are souls in these times who have already reached Enlightenment in a previous lifetime, and have agreed to incarnate here to help with raising the Christ Consciousness on this planet..
I don't know if I can prove it, but if it can be proven, I will...
Glac - I would be willing to bet that you would find similar aspects to JFK as well...maybe check out his chart and Bobby's as well? That is definitely a strong family of experienced souls as well...
I know there was more, but lost my train of thought...too much spinning around this 'blonde' brain right now! lol
This is the best topic all around for me thus far on LindaLand...thanks to everyone for their invaluable input!

A lot of what you have to say is commendable and makes a lot of sense.

Thank you for saying it.

I was misdiagnosed as a teenager with bipolar disorder.

I don't know why in the world they would think that.

The medication never stabilized me. I used to try to commit suicide on it. They tried to give me some other bipolar medication and it knocked me out for the entire day.....

I have Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder and I used to have B.P.D (Borderline Personality Disorder) and A.P.D (Auditory Processing Disorder) and possibly ADD with Dyscalculia, but I'm definitely not bipolar. lol!

Thank you again

Glac-The Bipolar Child is the book that led me to believing that my older son and I were Bipolar, and later my younger son...we fit about 75% of the symptoms and descriptions..lol But I know now without a doubt we are not Bipolar...
Matt was screened for BP in school, as well as ADHD, but they said although he did indeed have signs and symptoms, there were some pertinent ones needed for diagnosis, that were not present...
They gave me the impression that they just labeled him a 'problem child', and later on 'red flagged' him...one day after being harrassed for weeks by a kid at school, and the teachers did nothing, although they were told, he decked this kid one time, and put him in the hospital...after that, everything that happened was his fault..
I caught the principal and school cop in flat-out lies, and knew he was basically 'screwed' ... definitely red-flagged, and eventually kicked out...it's so sad that so many indigos, starseeds, and such, have gone thru so much physical and emotional pain because of the ignorance of society....beautiful souls, standing up for their rights, and they are considered 'black sheeps'... it's okay, their time to shine is coming...our time to shine is coming...

now with that in mind

Would my being Black African and Native American ancestries be an indicator for ability in shamanism?

Celtic tribes were ancestors of English,Portuguese,Spanish,and French.
Would my celtic ancestry be an indicator for ability to be a druid?

Would my Jew ancestry be an indicator for quaballistic mysticism?
and strong possibility being descended from Mesopotamians,Sumerians and their spirituality

many countries had their ancient spiritual traditions that include shamanism,mysticism

I am not quite sure how to take this Glac...I am not sure if perhaps you think you could be a Shaman, or it may be a calling? If so...I would say yes irregardless of geneology...or were you making the comment because you think someone insinuated that my son's 'calling' could be that of a Shaman one day?
Sometimes there is a communication problem with us, and not just you, I have problems interpreting the context of written words at times...it's nobody's fault, as I believe has already been determined without a doubt! lol
There are several reasons why I feel this could be possible with Matt, but not only him...when you are flying down hallways(OBE's) as a teenager, have close encounters with UFO's, have had experiences with Spirits, and they leave 'scratch marks' on your arms, and follow you(we have many spirit voices recorded), have matching, unexplained scars on ankles since birth, with someone you met the year prior, have visions and lucid dreaming, have possibly met your twin-flame at a young age, things are also within your name(s) in Lexigramming, and birtdate/name in numerology...the list goes on...and this list pertains to a few things that have happened, or are happening with 7 of us...

A few have been warned of Astral Attacks due to our exact aspects to Anubis...
My daughter has a quote 'rarest of the rare' Grand Cross of the Star Seed Asteroids on the GC Axis...and my kids and I all just happen to have our Sun in each of the 4 Cardinal Signs...my oldest son and I have our bdays 6 months, 1 day apart...my daughter and my youngest...6 months 1 day apart...

Not to mention the odds of me having children, and my youngest...pretty much a miracle...his name Matthew...my boys both had the umbilical cord wrapped around their necks...3 times...there is more, but not going to say more at this point...

My point is something is going on, something perhaps very strange, but maybe not strange at all...I do know there are 7 of us, so far, for sure, whose Higher Selves made some sort of agreement to come here together...we did not all come from the same place, but close...a few did...it is entirely possible that at least one of us is destined to become a Shaman...perhaps one of us with a hip problem? I had to wear casts at 3 weeks of age...

At least if I can figure that one out, I only have 6 more to go...for now...

Many blessings, and much love and light to all of you...

When I first read the book, I immediately thought it was a load of crap. My whole entire impression of that book was Bipolar was an umbrella label for people like us that fit with neurodivergence, Indigo/Crystal,Starseed, anomalously sensitive,Lightworker,Earth Angel

I had a lot of the symptoms/traits in that book, but I knew that I wasn't bipolar.

ADHD has a significant overlap with bipolar in symptoms/traits. Dyspraxia does too.

The book lists Aspergers Syndrome and Tourette Syndrome as 2 of the Medical Conditions that get misdiagnosed as Bipolar.

They should have included ADHD and Dyspraxia because those have high overlap with Aspergers Syndrome.

Dyspraxia and Aspergers Syndrome are similar to each other.

All those conditions overlap with Dyslexia too.

I feel those writers did more damage than good.

I think that they are actually part of a psychiatric witchhunt or they are just totally clueless about people like us. It's probably both.

I gave a review of that book
on Jan 8, 2008 http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A3G0L IY4P6II5X/ref=cm_pdp_rev_more?ie=UTF8&sort_by=MostRecentReview#RIV4E3AIGNE0P

I gave it only 1 star.
I wish that I could have given it a 0.

It worries me that you thought you and your 2 sons were bipolar from reading that book.
It makes me scared that there are many other neurodivergents who are reading that book and thinking that they are bipolar and their children are bipolar.

I am glad a book like that wasn't written when I was a child. I probably would have been on medication and not just getting special education. Well..my mom and stepfather would probably wouldn't allow it any way. My mom easily fit traits in that book. From what my mom told me, my father could easily fit them too. I take after both my parents, and it seems like they are actually similar to each other. From what my mom told me, my father was the more extreme neurodivergent.

I am very glad that you no longer think that you and your children are bipolar.

I have auditory processing issues too, but they are connected to my dyslexia
auditory form of dyslexia that involved auditory reversals which led to me having speech reversals. It was my unintelligible speech that led to me being examined early. That part got corrected by auditory therapy (training me to listen differently/rewiring my brain)
Now it's just auditory input speech lags (time delay in understanding what is said) and too much information to my ears for my brain to process.

Most dyslexics actually have auditory,phonological processing problems and not visual problems. They have problems with phonemic awareness. Phonemes are the smallest units in spoken language. Dyslexics tend to have problems auditory recognition and discrimination as well as storage.
Short term memory problems and disorganization are also symptoms of Dyslexia which are symptoms of Dyspraxia and ADHD. Directional confusion including especially left/right confusion is a symptom that Dyslexia and Dyspraxia have in common.
Eye tracking issues are also symptoms of both Dyslexia,Dyspraxia,and ADHD.

Too many people think that dyslexia is just visual processing problems and that they see words backwards and that is just not the case.

One of the things that I do as a neurodiversity advocate is help raise awareness and understanding of what dyslexia entails and about auditory,phonological dyslexia.

I have a diagnosed as having Inattentive type ADHD, Dysthymic Disorder (a chronic mild form of depression), Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Avoidant Personality Disorder (it's like Social Anxiety Disorder/Phobia, with a emphasis on insecurity,low self esteem,hypersensitivity to criticism,inferior complex)by a psychologist in 2004.

My Dyslexia and Dyspraxia were confirmed by Veteran Affairs neurologists in 2006.

I believe the Dysthymic Disorder,Generalized Anxiety Disorder,and Avoidant Personality Disorder stemmed from insecurity and low self esteem due to my experiences as a neurodivergent with history of special education.

I remember developing issues with anxiety in my early childhood years. Putting me in special education and getting called "retard" by normal school children did a big number on me emotionally.

When I was 6 years old, I cried to my mom and asked her "How come everybody picks on me"

She told me " Because you're special" and she hugged me.

This was during that time when I was misplaced with intellectually handicapped children in 1st grade because my Dyslexic and Dyspraxic weaknesses were severe.
It was only around the end of the year or maybe it was the summer before 2nd grade, I was found to have above average intelligence.

I always tended to be very anxious when it comes to my weaknesses with speech,auditory processing,coordination/motor skills,and eye contact.

I used to shake very badly all the time. I constantly had tremors when around people. The more people around me, the more the tremors increased. People noticed and pointed it out to me and straight up told me that I had a nervous problem when I was a teenager. I felt like a freak. Later on in life, I started wondering if it was me being a psychic tuning fork. I was reading stuff about Moon in Pisces and Moon square Neptune in Flower Essence/Gemstone Report back in 1998. I knew that I wasn't normal ,and I kept my special education past a secret from people for most of my life. I was living in the closet. The fear of being found out gave me tons of anxiety. You could even say that it even led me to be slightly paranoid, not trusting others. I was afraid to be picked on for being "special" and being called "retard" again.

I didn't want that to happen. I was already awkward/clumsy/badly coordinated with speech irregularities, and so I didn't fit in with other boys well.

Of course I had sadness from being teased by other children. I started developing depression in my teen years as I dealt with abuse from home and being picked on at school. People were spreading rumors about me being gay because of my not fitting male stereotypes. My voice had a lot to do with it. I couldn't help that. I needed a lot of speech therapy. My speech irregularities were in coordination-related issues of my Dyspraxia. I also genetic high estrogen levels, and that could be a factor.
I believe that my ultrasensitive and highly emotional nature is strongly connected to my neurodivergence, but I also think that it is connected to my high estrogen levels too.

I was trying to make a point about
racial/ethnic/national ancestry doesn't necessarily mean

You responded with

"So much to respond to, and I will touch on a few things that caught my attention...

For one Glac...I 100% agree with you on the fact that not just a particular 'race' or 'ancestry' are those destined for Shamanism, or anything for that matter...and I too believe that true 'powerful' or 'experienced' souls have indeed experienced all sexes, races, religious groups, etc...I was discussing this with RiverDawg yesterday, and I 'know' I have been black before...and supposedly this blue-eyed, blonde does have some 'afro-american' heritage in this lifeline."

and so it looks like we're on the same page about that

Shamanism is not my calling

Neurodiversity Advocacy,being a big part of the Neurodiversity Movement, and Starting/Running Developmental Neurodiversity Association (DNA) are my calling.

That's all about raising awareness and understanding about people with neurological/learning differences that fit with Indigo/Crystal,Starseed,Lightworker,Earth Angel, Anomalous Sensitive, Edison Gene/DRD4 7R

I always felt that I was meant to do something very special.

Now I realized that it was helping people with special education needs.
Help people like myself.

I believe that Astrology is part of my path too. However; I think that it's more about my being a 21st Century Astrologer that uses a multidimensional astrological system that includes the transneptunian dwarf planet candidates, centaurs.
That would be a way to help people with neurological/learning differences.

I also want to learn Numerology more in depth to be a Numerologist.

I am curious about those asteroids Anubis and others. I am aware that's an Egyptian God. Not sure if it means that a person is a metaphysical oriented or person that has an affinity for Egyptian culture or both.

I think asteroids are fine-tuners but not actual factors.

I think for metaphysical factors, the outerplanets and transneptunian dwarf planet/candidates as well as their nodes would be good for insight.

hey kat!

this is my point!too many labels too many withhunt ,and why is this happening?lack of understanding which causes fear for those who cant wont understand.our appearance probably gives thrills to those whos mindset is limited!...anyways i have some other theory,this will be a genetic one.approx 15% of the worlds population has a rare bloodtype called rhesus negative.people with this bloodtype are very paranormal compared to the rest,85% of worldpopulation who are rhesus positive.the rhesus factor of blood determines if we have apeancestry or not.those with rhesus negative do not have apegenetics and it is proven that their dna matches about 92% with rhesus positive people.so rhesus negative people do have far less in common with ordinary people(85%)than ordinary poeple have in common with apes...

this is a qicked thing and many people dont even know about this.i do!for there is big danger if a mother is rhesus negative and the child has rhesus positive blood.it will reject the offspring and the rhesus positive blood can cause serious danger to the rhesus negative mother resulting in a difficult pregnancy.
see more info on this: http://www.bellybelly.com.au/articles/pregnancy/rhesus-negative-pregnancy

lately i have been told that many indigicnous people do have the rhesus negative type,actually till today no one really knows where this msyetrious bloodtype is coming from.i have also heared that many cherokee people seem to have negative blood....so and i got to think of this when you mentioned that you have the feeling that someone is watching over you.in spirituality many people tend to say that thise rh- arrived from the watcher angels who are watched but who also are here to watch humanity and be of service.....many theories on this...not sure what to believe!

quote *my boys both had the umbilical cord wrapped around their necks...3 times...* this was the case for me at birth as well.i have rh- blood,my mum too...often it is stated that rh- kids are born with these strange annomalies...

and well yes i also have crystals that ground me best if i need grounding instantly.

posted January 31, 2011 05:17 AM            

the umbilical cord being caught around the neck is interesting

I know a Dyspraxic man who told me that his Dyspraxia was caused by brain damage from getting the umbilical cord caught around his neck and cutting his air supply.

I am glad that neither of you had that happened to you and that you don't have brain damage.
