I've been to Japan at last. In fact I was there 2 weeks ago. Fascinating place!

Tokyo is as you would guess, a big, shiny & restless city, but the real treasure is Kyoto - at least for me. I had a very interesting experience there and after that I realised I found a "hidden camelot". I found the term from another mailing list that I'm a member. They were talking about hidden camelots, kind of power-points and also Stuie Wilde talks on these too. Now I know there is one in Kyoto Yasaka Shrine. Fascinating.

Many of you said that these "forces" "drawing" us might be malevolent, but what do I gain by staying here? And what do I lose by leaving this place?

Just follow your heart.  everybody has faced this dilemma at one time or another.  The key is not to push the issue...........................Everytime I pushed the envelope because "I wanted" something real bad it did not turn out allright.  It is the "I want" that will get you.  Listen to your inner self........If what you hear is "I want to go because I am tire of living here"  or "I want to go because is sounds exciting" then you must be careful because it is not your heart talking to you...........

Simply meaning that it's something that we were/are a part of energetically, that will be cleared or released soon. Sometimes it's a genetic lineage energy, sometimes it's a personal experience connection from another life stream, etc.

Many times we unwittingly "dive into it again", refreshing our energetic memory of what it is/was, only to end up having to extricate ourselves again anyway. We likely could have simply acknowledged the draw and remained open inwardly for input, and worked it through without leaving our living room. With enough awareness, we eventually do process things that way.

What actually came in was that many might be feeling a draw to the area because, at some level of their total self, they "are there" in a portion of their energies, and a cleansing/clearing is on the way. It's like an alert system at an unconscious level.

For what its worth.

Lots of "head/mind" energies there, in fact, or what I called at the time "masculine dominant", with a nice pretty gloss over it. Hurt like hell. LOL! I actually became sick and had to leave before we got our meal served in a restaurant. The 3 hour drive away while hungry and thirsty and even feeling ill...  was preferable to staying there one more minute. Huh. Interesting. I thought I was the only one to feel it that way, so it was confirming to read your account. (((Thanks)))

Destiny:
* internally, you feel totally okay with something, perhaps drawn to it, and sense it is a good idea
* externally, things fall into place naturally to get you where you need to be
* socially, perhaps you will meet with irrational disapproval from others to engrained in the matrix

Programming
* internally, you feel only an impatient compulsion that makes you grasp for rationalization
* externally, things won't fall into place naturally and logistical obstacles pop up
* synchronistically, you may receive warning signs

So to summarize, things that are meant to be just happen naturally when reality meets you halfway, and your internal desire meets with external assistance. But if it's programming or just plain foolishness then reality will not meet you halfway, meaning you will have to follow your compulsion while going against the grain.

In the trickiest cases, an external synchronicity can be paired with internal programming to make you think destiny is calling, however the external synchronicity is just too forceful. Sometimes it happens through someone suspicious who plays upon your baser impulses of lust, materialism, fame, or fear to tempt you into straying from the path. Other times physical anomalies will happen, like objects materializing out of nowhere to make you think it's a "sign from God." I know of two people on whom this trick was used.

Genuine positive synchronicities happen when you are in the flow and are way more natural and quiet than these flashy matrix gimmicks.  Ultimately you just gotta follow your intuition and act on your wisdom and higher impulses. Destiny doesn't need to tempt you, it just moves you along through the flow of circumstance.

I think it's best to keep an open mind. Generally opportunities will open in unexpected ways to allow you to manifest your intent. For me, the best opportunities were those that evoked enthusiasm, things that I deeply wanted to do, and things whose benefits required no desperate rationalizations to see.

Yes.  I've had the New Mexico draw for quite awhile myself, and had a special one for Sedona several months ago..... I ended up going with a friend of mine, and on the way he especially wanted to see Flagstaff, which we did end up driving through.   Phoenix, Sedona, much of New Mexico ... hotbeds of UFO/paranormal activity; it's really not at all surprising that people are feeling "called" to go there.  Ha!

Interesting, indeed!!!   

For me, I'd been through NM / AZ back in 1995, so I figured at the time that was the reason I felt like going back for a visit in '96.   But now, I'm not so sure.  It really doesn't make sense why I felt like going.   The thought was just in my head to go there, for no real logical reason.   Everybody around me questioned it, like, ???   When I got there after 8 hours of driving, I was like, Okay, now what???   Why am I here???   I went to bed early, around 10 p.m., and slept for like, 12, 13 hours, and was so exhausted the next morning I missed my check out time and had to have a late late check out.   That's a major warning sign that something "funny" happened.   I don't recall waking up during the night.    I didn't have any UFO sightings or anything......but then again, I'm not prone to those anyway for some reason.    Actually, I should ask my pendulum about this, see what results I get.

It seems that almost ALL the places I've been drawn to have underground bases and "funny stuff" going on with them!!   It used to be New Mexico....well, anybody who researches the weird stuff winds up reading all about the underground bases and alien / military / 4th density bleedthrough activity going on in New Mexico.   From what I understand, that's THE #1 area for underground base activity.    So now I'm like, forget about moving there!   NO way!   

Then later I felt a draw for the longest time to move to the mountain areas of North Carolina, specifically Asheville.   Come to find out (and I talked about this in another thread awhile back) that Asheville is located over a huge underground base complex.   There's mucho UFO activity in that area, a large Satanism / Occult "issue" as well, and just a host of weirdness in general, as well as the Illuminati family Biltmore Estate.  I had no clue about all that before.  I was just like, "I have to move there.....I have to move there....I have to move there......"

Now, you couldn't PAY me to move there.  It's AMAZING what a little awareness and knowledge will do to those unexplained "tugs" and "draws" to move to certain areas!! 

[EDIT: removed duplicate of above post which I had retyped here]

Well, I'm 99.9999% positive now that once I got settled into Flagstaff I was abducted that night.  My urge to go there was to get me as close as possible to what I would later find out is some big time major underground bases going on in that area.

Yes.  I've had the New Mexico draw for quite awhile myself, and had a special one for Sedona several months ago.   I ended up going with a friend of mine, and on the way he especially wanted to see Flagstaff, which we did end up driving through.   Sedona definitely has a very interesting vibration about it (the area, not so much town itself) and I can see why all the new-agey people congregate there, though I was quite unimpressed with that whole "scene" they have going on.   The landscape itself is beautiful and I wished I had more time to explore the hiking trails.    We stayed one night in Sedona, without any unusual activity that I am aware of.  The second day we left, and drove down to Phoenix where we had a UFO sighting which was shared by both our friend who lived there (another "contactee") as well as another friend who we didn't even know was in the area at the time, but who was an airline pilot and JUST HAPPENED TO BE FLYING OVER PHOENIX at the same time time at the same place ...and saw the same UFO we did.  How is that for an extreme example of synchronicity?
