Even now when someone lights up near me it smells "good" but I know if I tried smoking it would make me ill and taste terrible (to me) Beneficial or not, it's just not for everyone it would seem. I sincerely hope it is not a "requirement" for transition-just as is a knowledge of quantum physics or calculus, or I am in deep doo doo...but these are the least of my failings in this existence, IMO. I will remain "smoke free" not because the PTB say so but because I decided to do so. My choice.

Thank you for this very interesting link but I do not think I'll start smoking at age 60 when I hardly stand cigarette smoke ...
A dislike of cigarette smoke could be from Candida yeast overgrowth, as tobacco helps kill it off. See the Candida thread if you're interested.
In my case, I like the smell of cigarette smoke, but after multiple attempts of smoking a pipe, cigars, and cigarettes, I found that my body just doesn't tolerate tobacco. For what it's worth.

I remember specifically they said it was Dick Van Dyke's brother, they mentioned that he was on "Coach" and it was talked about on the news that whole day. So ever since then I had assumed he had been dead and I just went along my daily life never hearing anything else about him. About 5 months ago, Jerry Van Dyke and Dick Van Dyke guest stared on a sitcom together looking very alive and very vibrant and healthy. I seriously did a double take and it gave me the strangest feeling and it made me doubt myself. I kept thinking back when I heard the news of his death and I know it wasn't my imagination!

3D Student said:Thank you for the session! For those interested in the splitting realities thing, there is a site called maldelaeffect. I think it was mentioned on the forum before. It is about people having memories that differ from reality. One I could have sworn was that the popular children's book was spelled Berenstein Bears. Here's the site with some popular memories.
