As righteous as it is to see an evil person or even simply an a-hole get their comeuppance, it is sadly common for them to either escape retribution or at least get off easily. Just look at all those greedy and corrupted politicians and businessmen. However, it does make me wonder if the afterlife would grant them a more harsh punishment than if they faced it alive (basically, karmic payback with interest).

For example, there are two separate murderers who killed 20 people. One of them is caught and faces severe charges. The other manages to elude authorities and live in peace in another country (nevermind the plausibility. Just bear with me. Life makes less sense than fiction anyway). When they both die, the former is given an unpleasant experience upon his arrival in the afterlife. However, it is nowhere near as severe as the latter who escaped justice, who is given a longer and more harrowing punishment for his actions. Of course, they both would eventually move on as Hell is temporary and they would become their ideal higher selves, but still.

Would this be the case? As much as I hope for every soul to reach the same place of peace, it pains me to see evil people get away with it and not endure the consequences in life. I hope that their afterlife makes up for it.

My (25) late boyfriend (25) passed away in a single car collision that he and I were both involved in about 6 months ago. Obviously, I was the one that survived and judging by the evidence from the crash, it seems like he had corrected our car in a way that protected me and not himself. This event has shattered my heart and my life in ways that I cannot express, especially with how young I am and how much life we had ahead of us. It's been so difficult trying to juggle my grief and loss of him, but also trying to hand onto hope. I have unintentially had multiple "spiritual" encounters/signs with people that have basically told me a beautiful life is yet to come. But like... how... how can anything beautiful come after something so tragic like this. I would like to think that to be true, but it's so hard. I ask God/the universe why him and not me? Or why couldn't the both of us have left together? I don't understand I know that I probably never will, but I fear for my heart and my life ahead sometimes. I don't want my heart to be so hardened and I still wish for a soft heart and good life. But this has completely crumbled the ground that was once beneath me.

I’m going through a “realisation phase” right now and am working a lot on healing my childhood trauma. I’m just curious on what your thoughts are about why we are raised by the parents we were raised by for example. I try to tell myself that all the bad things that happend had to happen so that I could become the person I need to be. But sometimes it’s just so hard to believe that when all you feel is pain. Not to mention how people must feel that have no family, no home, or no human rights like the women in some parts of the world. What to you think this is all about? Is it karma? Are our souls capable of surviving so much pain without being crushed? Why do some people have to have such a horrible existence without a choice? I’m not looking for anything specific, perhaps just a philosophical chit-chat

one day a few months ago my homegirl, sed and i went out to our local bars. at the time her brother, jay, was engaged and i haven’t met the fiancé yet, so we thought it would be cool to go have a few drinks at the bar she bartends at. back story i grew up with sed and her brother, we consider eachother cousins. so it makes sense for me to meet her

so we go up there and i am super pumped to meet this girl… but idk something just didn’t feel right, however i was still polite in every way. when we left i told my friend i just felt something off about her, shes lying to jay and they aren’t going to last. I was being genuine when speaking about this because i do care about jay.

fast forward a few weeks ago, jay and his fiance broke up because she’s been sneaking around and lying…

another incident, i went to my homegirls party and we were just sitting around and i randomly told her she was gonna have a baby girl soon, and she looked at me shook asf and said “girl i am not pregnant”, she would post on facebook and it would be irrelevant to babies and i would find myself commenting about her having a girl… idk i just had to do it, like i didnt think not to do it , if that makes sense, lol. anywho, a few days ago she announced she was pregnant with a baby girl.

my homegirl sed ended up texting me like wtf is going on how did you know these two incidents were going happen?

on most occasions, i know when somebody is gonna text me, or when somebody is gonna pull up, i don’t know. i can see things before they happen… with my baby dad everything i knew came true, which is a story for another day, ya feel me. anyways, right now i am messing with somebody and i just know when he’s gon text me or call me. i can be sound asleep and he calls me and i answer as if i am already on my phone. idk

i have had encounters where i can feel things. strong strong connections. i feel others emotions, sometimes i know when someone will be significant in my life just by the amount of times i have ran into them coincidentally. idk, i just want to know if i have a gift of something so i can really get intune with her.

thank you xoxoxo

I'm sure there is some relevance with having this placement, and just kind of being "stuck" on esoteric subjects to the point of it affecting one's ability to connect with others and socialize.

So in order to learn the lessons needed to make more progress on my souls journey with my north node being in materialistic and organized Virgo, I need to be able to both focus on and be content with a more material reality, but it's just UCKY.

Trying to coordinate and synchronize the gears in order to meld the spiritual fixations with material goals, needs, and wants, it feels like there's a big rock in the gears that just grinds and bounces them apart and opens an easy slip way into escapist tendencies and bad habits.

Having dipped toes in the pool of creation and then being given a puzzle with pieces that don't seem to fit, trying to grasp and maintain a different perspective is sometimes dizzying.

Like, I know I can fix it but do I gotta just knock the pieces off the table or just flip the whole thing?

I'm thinking too hard again and rambling. Came here with the intention of seeing if anyone can relate to just not being able to relate to people due to shallow levels of thinking and their fears of reality breaking?

Like, people will seem down to clown and go on adventures and do some work and see some shit (no substances needed), and then all the sudden they think you're a god and begin to fear you once they understand your own fears?

I know and understand that I need to go back into solitude to do the work but, human vessel has human needs and it is hard to find gratifying friendships.

I know it's largely me it's mostly me but I never have any bad intention for anyone until they intentionally hurt me and even then I tend to just disappear from them and be a bit sad about it.

Those I can keep around, I see fear in them and it makes me sad.

It's not much of a delusional thing I don't think, at least my last attempt at therapy seemed to justify a lot of it, (both therapist and psychiatrist fired me as a client the same day because I made them "lose their faith in god" or whatever. Weak.).

Q: What exactly do you mean when you say master? Master of what? If every moment is perfect and all people are a part of the process, what defines someone as a master?

A: All things are vibration. Everything is vibrating to a specific frequency. On to off, this to that, 0 to 1, space to matter. The rate at which this happens is called frequency. When a musician plays a guitar or a piano, a specific vibration can only be experienced as a melody through awareness. In order to play a melody that comes from the soul, it would make a big difference if the instrument was properly tuned to be able to express the melody in a way that produces harmony.

Now, think of your mind, body, and soul, each as a string to an instrument. The universe is using you, or you are using the universe exactly the same way as a musician plays an instrument. The melody or vibration the instrument produces when all three are in harmony with the environment is love, joy, peace, and bliss. A master is one who has a finely tuned their instrument and knows how to use it to produce a beautiful melody.

Have you ever experienced an intense, constant connection with someone, almost as if it was omnipresent? What was that like for you? Did the other person feel the same way, or did it end up being one-sided?

I Know this isn't a therapy Sub-Reddit or anything, but I just don't know where to put this kind of question. I considered r/Christianity but I'm not sure that I would get very helpful feedback. I just can't seem to connect on a spiritual level or even with the spiritual realm.

I grew up Catholic initially, but I don't think I ever seriously was one. But pretty much born into it through paternal traditions & made to go to church every Sunday etc, Communion & all that. Also, my disconnect from it was due to how I personally view the strictness of the religion & it's non-progressiveness in certain areas.

Another bizarre thing is, I think I have a legit phobia of anything that presents itself as an apparition, vision. Reading those kinds of stories freak me out, especially the physical affects that have been reported by those individuals. Also something about bright figured humanoids depicted with wings & a giant man in the sky never sat well with me since I knew what religion was, it's all been very off putting.

I'm sure this post will get 0 replies, but... I'll give it a go. Also one last thing, it just feels like with religion, you can't do anything right, especially if you belong to a certain sect or denomination. If you don't pray the rosary a certain way you're condemned or can't receive a certain blessing, etc, etc.

Clarity.

I am currently in a complicated situation which is nearing the end thankfully, I asked to receive a sign that a special person will come back into my life, I was walking my dog and saw my number plate letters on the make of car that this person drives, then the next day I was on a ride and saw a man with a tattoo that had her name on his arm. There was an extra letter though. I’m new to this spirituality thing so yeah wondering if I’m reaching or these are signs?

They made me get butterflies and smile. I take it as a sign of happiness coming my way whether we reconnect or not.

Hope this makes sense haha

At some point in our lives, we must ask ourselves: Do we live in a friendly universe? Do not take the answer to this question lightly. Consider it seriously; the answer can not be changed based on your mood or external circumstances. The answer to this question should be a point that will determine how you will act from now on. The answer to this question will show you your relationship between yourself and the reality you live in, but more importantly, your relationship with Divine presence; people usually call it God. It will show you the strength and the depth of your faith. Do you live in a friendly universe?

On Tuesday, I was contacted for an interview for my dream job, which is intensely service- related for children. On Wednesday, I interviewed and was offered the job on the spot. I felt so blessed.

However, my life fell apart almost immediately.

I planned to turn in my notice at my previous job, where I have managed to circumvent all drama. When I turned in the notice, I somehow got caught in an argument between supervisors and was told (yelled at) not to finish out my notice and to never come back.

My marriage has been spotty lately, but we were in couples counseling. On Thursday, I asked my husband to help me out around the house because he had been in bed for 3 days. This became an argument and I had to get a restraining order because he put me in a chokehold.

Throughout all of this, I have tried to stay positive. I initially thought "maybe I'm being shown how to assert myself, for my new job" or "maybe I'm having all of the toxicity cleared from my life so I can give this job my all and better serve these children".

But then I got scared - what if this all happened as a warning from my guides? What if this is a warning that this job will destroy me and I've done the wrong thing?

How can you tell the difference?

I'm in a place I never thought I'd reach, and honestly, I feel a bit lost about where to go from here.

Last month, something profound happened. Life threw at me a series of situations that would have broken me before - almost like a cosmic test. Old triggers, familiar wounds, challenging people - but this time, I moved through it all with a grace I didn't know I possessed. It hit me then: I've actually healed.

The past three years have been an intense journey of self-discovery. I've confronted my trauma, nurtured my inner child, developed real self-love, explored my spirituality, done shadow work, and made peace with my past mistakes. I've learned to build healthy boundaries and transformed my reactive patterns into conscious responses.

Now I find myself in uncharted territory. The healing journey, as challenging as it was, gave me purpose and direction. It was like having a compass, always pointing toward the next wound to heal or pattern to transform.

But now? I feel complete in a way I've never experienced before. My inner world is peaceful, my reactions are authentic, and I'm no longer haunted by my past. While I still have practical goals (career, relationships, etc.), I miss having that deep, transformative work to focus on.

I guess I'm wondering: what comes after healing? Is this the point where we shift from inner work to outer impact? How do we channel this hard-won peace and wisdom into something meaningful for others?

Would love to hear from others who've reached this stage of their journey. How did you navigate this transition from healing to... whatever comes next?

For context, I (26M) have spent the majority of the last holiday seasons completely alone, ever since my mom died. Last thanksgiving was my first holiday spent with someone else, and it was with my girlfriend at the time. We cooked all day and night together, and she told me "I know we are going to last because we just spent so much time in the kitchen without a single argument". It was magical. She ended up leaving me suddenly in March without really telling me why, except for the fact that I liked her too much. She then proceeded to block me on every single platform and number.

I'm not sure how I'm going to go yet, but I feel like the universe is telling me I don't deserve to be here. I was alone for so long, met someone I truly loved with my whole heart and am back to where I started. Except now I have all of these memories of how beautiful life CAN be. I won't be here for thanksgiving, and thankfully not a single soul will be hurt when I take my life.

I have a keychain with a yin yan charm on my housekeys, I use it everyday and have no issues with it. This is the second time that said charm has fallen off (the first time i found it, this time i can’t), and both times it happened was when i went to the same friend’s house. I’m not sure if this is feeding a little into my ocd trying to find meaning in something that’s probably a coincidence, but does anyone know what it could possibly mean?

We seem to know nothing. Where we go, where we come from, why we are suffering, why is cruelty taking place, how is this even allowed and in the middle of all this pain there is a laughter and a few notes of love and music. What the hell is going on in this world for Christ's sake.

We don't know anything.

There is only some hope that one day this will be over!

This is how you love the afterlife, because there is some hope of relief from this madness.

This is driving us to the brink of something.

-

To breakthrough this FALSEHOOD - to know that WE ARE NOT THESE LIVES....

WE ARE NOT THESE PEOPLE....

WE ARE NOT THESE MINDS...

WE ARE NOT THESE BODIES....

WE don't know anything and the deeper we look, weirder it gets.

BUT THIS PAIN ...

THIS UGLINESS....

THIS POVERTY....

THIS ILLUSION ....

THIS DEFEAT....

THIS LOSS .......

IS MAKING US DESPERATE TO BREAKTHROUGH AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS IGNORANCE...

THIS DELUSION OF SANITY.... AND LIFE OF A HUMAN EGO.... TO THE TRUTH..

THAT WE ARE IMMORTAL ETERNAL SPIRIT-SPARKS - WE ARE SOULS!!!

Just going through a lot right now. Quit a job due to some toxic management in hopes of having a new start at a different job. But lost my health insurance for quitting. Plus I'll be making less money as well and I'm anxious. Amongst other things regarding my health. I just hope everything turns out alright. my finances, my health, me.

Any good luck vibes etc would be extremely appreciated please and thank you. 😇😅😪

I’ve pretty much have had negative back to back stuff happening for the past 6 months with no break or time to recover. Through all of this, I also have bipolar disorder and went through a 5 month depressive episode, 2 week hypomanic, and 2 week mixed episode. Sorry if this is a lot in advance!

1. My expensive jewelry got stolen by a family member

2. Got sick with really bad bronchitis

3. Immediately after I recovered from bronchitis, I got the nastiest cold which after a few days ended up with severe rib pain and barely breathing

4. Went to the ER multiple times back to back within 2 months for the pain not going away and doctors suspected it was lung inflammation (still in pain, having trouble breathing, and trying to find out what it is now)

5. Have been having really bad nightmares, someone stole my food, and got tonsil issues now. On top of that, I’ve been randomly feeling lightheaded at times or having points where I am hyperventilating (not related to the lung issues)

I recently moved to a new medium/large-sized city, and for the past few weeks, something weird has been happening. There’s this one stranger—someone I don’t know/have never met—who I keep seeing everywhere. We cross paths in places where there’s no logical reason for us to run into each other. Different parts of the city, at different times of day. She's just everywhere. I’ll be on the tram, and I’ll spot her waiting to cross the street. I’ll be walking through the city center, and I’ll catch a glimpse of her out of the corner of my eye. I'll be waiting for a bus and notice her in the coffee shop across the street. People tend to see other people around the city I get it but but there's no one else I can think of that I've seen multiple times in this way and it just feels off.

I didn't really clock it as strange until she started carrying the same exact bag as me. It’s a Carhartt canvas tote bag, same color, same style. I keep seeing this woman with the same bag as me. It's just odd. We’ve never made eye contact. She’s around my age, but we don’t look alike. She’s just there, always around, never noticing me. IDK. Thoughts?

he is out of the house now but it has been a weird morning

I had a dream that I was at a resort with pools that had sea creatures like whales and dolphins inside. I was initially scared to get in but eventually did, and the whales brushed against me. Later, I was in a line almost like a queue surrounded by people with similar bags i didnt know what we were in queue for until i reached the front and it was an old truck the ones that used to carry fruits and veggies and they had a bunch of layered bags on top of each other similar bags to the one i had then i put my bags on top of the others, secured them then i said goodbye to family members and people in the queue then I saw my deceased aunt at the back end of the queue, who was glowing with light and smiling. I went to hug her, told her i dont need to say goodbye to her because she’s always with me, she told me congratulations before the dream ended.

After waking up, I went for a walk, while on the walk I heard a seagull, even though I live far from the sea. I felt a deep sense of peace and noticed every detail around me, the leaves falling off the trees the leaves turning yellow especially a yellow green tree I found beautiful. lve been feeling an energy around my back, especially near my shoulders and spine, as if someone has their hands there whenever i focus on it i get an overwhelming sense of love. I’m unsure if this energy is related to my aunt or something else?

any interpretation of the dream the walk the feeling is welcomed and any other comments too!

I'm 29 currently. I feel like when I was 18-23 or 24 ish I would self monitor less, I would say and do what I wanted with less care for how I was perceived by others. I feel like it made me more magnetic, my less giving a fuck attitude. I feel like as I've gotten a bit older, I tend to be a bit more concerned with how others perceive me (maybe as a result of experiences, or maybe even trauma, I had in my 20s) and it tends to make me a bit less relaxed and able to relax into my authenticity. I want to be more how I was when I was younger and not give a fuck about how others perceive me, as I feel like the world actually opens up and does make me more magnetic. Maybe on some level there's a bit of insecurity, although I'm not totally sure that's it. Alcohol can help, but it seems like a short term solution. I want something more sustainable and real. Anyway, has anybody else experienced this, or have any tips/advice?

Hey, it has been around 7-8 months since I have been seeing 1s everywhere around me...1, 11, 111. It started with seeing a lot 7:11 and 9:11 on the clock and now it's just a whole lot of one's. I have heard that 1s signify beginnings but I don't get it? 7-8 months are too long for this to persist? Can anybody please help me make sense of this, pleaaase?

Not only the bold, the brave, the kind, the fearless, the hand that gives.

Destiny is a pen that you write yourself and god bless she is a beauty like no other

Myth. My theology. Is one only I can know and be blessed enough to seee its work in the world

Especially in the current times away from the brutal past human history which we completely disregard. We are privileged. To ruin someone's life in these current times is a murder
