Weird day

[luke wilson]

Well, something rather weird happened today. Evey single monday, I have a set routine and every single one, I do my routine almost automatically interms of my lecture schedule. However, today, something happened. I lost an hr and turned up to a lecture 1 hour late thinking it was the hour before. For the life of me, I cant figure out where this hour went. This has never happened before, atleast not this way. Something similar happened once before but that time it was not a matter of losing time but rather just an hour of total mind erasure in that, I had a lecture lets say at 12 and I was meant to have one right after at 1 but for some weird reason I totally forgot and went home at 1 and it didnt appear to me I had missed the 2nd one until hours later.

So for that reason, I am thinking todays incident might have happened due to 1 of 2 reasons. I lost an hour like, lost it or for some weird reason, I forgot, like totally forgot despite always looking at my watch and keeping track of time and despite all this, I still turned up an hour late after the scheduled time. However, something interesting happened on my way to the lecture today, I saw a glowing cloud. I mean, I have never seen a glowing cloud before but this cloud was like glowing and furthermore it was the only cloud in the sky. Nobody else seemed to notice the cloud that was glowing with different colours up there in the sky. Maybe it is a common thing and I am just not that aware of what clouds can and cant do.

It looked abit like the ones in this video but smaller.

Walking into a class an hour late is bad, but walking in an hour late without knowing it is even worse!

Would you describe your routine and how you lost the hour more in-depth? I get confused with time if I glance at a clock wrong, maybe that is what happened to you.

Since we are "electromagnetic wave-reading consciousness units", it might be possible that the cloud you saw was electromagnetic in nature and had some sort of influence upon yourself which altered your consciousness in some way for a period of time. It is thought that when rock is subjected to great pressure there is a piezioelectric effect the same as is used for the spark in butane lighters, but the electric field from such a large volume of rock would be immensely greater. Who knows what such a strong electric field can do.

And, since you have had an experience of "missing time" the possibility is there that what you saw might have been a UFO inside of a 'cloud screen' and you may have been abducted. Perhaps what you think you saw was an implanted memory to cover what the object really was.

These ideas are not to be taken hard-and-fast, but are just some suggestions as to possibilities for the reason of your lost time.
Then again, maybe you just mistook what the clock read - which can happen as wetroof suggests.

I know, I was really shocked at having completely been un-aware or essentially functioning an hour behind what was actually the time. I'll describe what I did. I finished my morning class at 11 and my next one was at 2. As usual, I went home and on the way passed through the grocery store to buy some food. I got in at about 11:30 and put something in the oven(a pizza which I have every now and again when I dont feel like cooking). It was done by 11:50 (I know this for sure because I was timing it), at which point I ate. Immediately after I took a shower so by now it is about 12:40-1:00 but at this point, what I think was the time and what might have been the time might be 2 different things because I was essentially functioning on auto-pilot. Usually, after this, I'd get ready to go back to lectures leaving the house at 1:40ish. I always have my mobile phone near me and keep on checking the time and I did this like I always do and I left when I intended on leaving which is 20 minutes to the next hour. Now I am abit confused as to whether for some weird reason, I left at 2:40 instead of 1:40. This is worrying me because that would mean I stayed from 1:00 to 2:40 whilst in my head I thought it was 1:00 to 1:40 so when I turned up to the lecture and I was essentially walking into a different class I was initially very confused because the people in there were people I had never seen before, 1st I thought maybe the lecture had changed rooms at which point I called up a friend who said I missed it and this is when I looked at the time and was like "OMG."

The funny thing is that as I was walking to lectures I looked at the time just to make sure I would get there soon enough and at no point did it click that it was essentially heading to 3pm. It is like a part of my mind just stopped functioning or some wiring got disconnected. As I said, this is the 2nd time this has happened the 1st being, I had 2 different lectures consecutively and I remember walking out and going home, however, as I was walking I saw most of my classmates walking into another building(where the other lecture was supposed to be) and it just didnt click that, (Oh wait, I am meant to have a lecture). What makes it even funny is I told a friend who was walking in, bye as she walked in.

This is something rather disturbing because it appears a certain part of my mind can just disconnect whilst the rest keeps functioning as normal thus rendering me oblivious to something. Usually this happens on a more regular basis interms of speech and communication and I have always put it down to just having bad social skills. What I mean is sometimes, I can be thinking 2 simultaneous things in my mind. One thing is something external that somebody is telling me and another is something internal that has arisen independently from an external influence. Now when it comes back to replying to whatever I was asked my the person, I say what I was thinking in my mind(the thought not directly connected to what was asked) and keep on going without realising until the person says that I said something that was completely out there. It usually is just a word or 2 or a phrase, not strung out sentences. I usually did put this down to just being a bad listener but now I am thinking the cause for this might be somehow linked to what happened yesterday. By far the most strange thing that happened interms of communicating back to someone else is that, once I was in my room just working and my housemate walked in and started to talk to me, and I listened to what he was saying and as I was going to respond, something different came out of my mouth. I knew what I wanted to say but each time I opened my mouth a whole bunch of different sentences were coming out. The only way I can describe it further is like, "that trick where you switch your hands and criss-cross your fingers and someone points at a finger and asks you to lift it. Most of the time you end up lifting the wrong one because your mind is confused because everything is the wrong way round and despite knowing this it still takes acouple of goes to actually lift the right finger." This is basically what happened, I knew what I wanted to say but what came out was something totally different, I dont even know where it came from and it took me acouple of goes to regain compusure and control.

Also another weird thing that happened once involved cooking, I was in the kitchen making some pasta and my housemate walked in and asked me about what I was going to make. I was making it as I was describing it. I had cut up some vegetables which I intended to put in a separate saucepan but I was talking about the pasta that was boiling in a different saucepan and as I took the vegetables and was about to put it in with the pasta he stopped me saying I should put it in the other saucepan. This is when I totally snapped out of it and was like, omg, how was I on the verge of doing something contrary to what I intended on doing, at what point did the switch flick to make me un-aware?

This all happened within the last year or so and all at university, never once at home. Previous to this I didnt have this problem so I dont know, should I be worried? What can I do?

In these kinds of situations, it's always better to fully eliminate the mundane explanations before looking toward something 'paranormal'. Otherwise, it's easy to get all worked up about something that is likely not even true.

So just to be clear you have no recollection of what you would have done during the hour that vanished?

If after showering you usually watch tv for a few minutes or read a book before going back to lectures, I can see how this 5 minutes could have turned into an hour.

What I mean is sometimes, I can be thinking 2 simultaneous things in my mind. One thing is something external that somebody is telling me and another is something internal that has arisen independently from an external influence

Here I am reading that you are balancing the conversation in your mind with another subject and trying to think of both at once.
This to me sounds like there is some dissociation from the present moment (which could explain the time gap). It seems like you are not aware as you could be… and this is likely something you could fix with yourself I think.


this two things seem different than above:

I knew what I wanted to say but what came out was something totally different, I don’t even know where it came from

When you misspeak I get that you are saying that you have no idea where the words that you say come from whereas in the previous example you were having trouble holding the conversation solely in your mind. It actually seems like in this example you provide you ARE present in the moment at least intellectually, and it is your actions that are not under control.

I was in the kitchen making some pasta and my housemate walked in and asked me about what I was going to make. I was making it as I was describing it. I had cut up some vegetables which I intended to put in a separate saucepan but I was talking about the pasta that was boiling in a different saucepan and as I took the vegetables and was about to put it in with the pasta he stopped me saying I should put it in the other saucepan. This is when I totally snapped out of it and was like, omg, how was I on the verge of doing something contrary to what I intended on doing

This is another example you being present, but not in control of your actions. I guess this could be considered some type of dissociation but you do seem mentally present.

This all happened within the last year or so and all at university, never once at home. Previous to this I didnt have this problem so I dont know, should I be worried? What can I do?

Here is just a thought or two. It seems that maybe you are over concentrating on what you say to people. this could actually cause you to notice that your words are not matching your thoughts even though this might be a relatively common and mostly unnoticeable phenomenon. I am not really sure. A lot of times the act of talking is thinking. I think people don't always know what they are going to say before they say it. Maybe the strange phenomena you describe is due over concentrating on the conversation i.e trying to think through your response before you say it. this is just a thought.

A wrong diet can play with your brain, in a negative way.

Check this article out: _http://www.celiac.com/articles/1085/1/Gluten-Causes-Brain-Disease-By-Prof-Rodney-Ford-MB-BS-MD-FRACP/Page1.html

The solution came when deep in discussion with my friend and colleague, Ron Harper, Professor of Neurobiology, UCLA. We were both struggling with the concept of multiple symptoms that needed to be explained. The answer appeared absurdly simple: disturbed "brain control". It suddenly seemed obvious—gluten could disturb the neural pathways of the body. Gluten was gradually damaging the brain and the nerves of susceptible people. It was the brain that was the common pathway for the manifestations of all of the gluten symptoms.

Reading you eat pizza and pasta, I can see that you haven't eliminated gluten yet, and who knows what else was in that pizza.

Also another weird thing that happened once involved cooking, I was in the kitchen making some pasta and my housemate walked in and asked me about what I was going to make. I was making it as I was describing it. I had cut up some vegetables which I intended to put in a separate saucepan but I was talking about the pasta that was boiling in a different saucepan and as I took the vegetables and was about to put it in with the pasta he stopped me saying I should put it in the other saucepan. This is when I totally snapped out of it and was like, omg, how was I on the verge of doing something contrary to what I intended on doing, at what point did the switch flick to make me un-aware?

Well, men are famous for not being able to multi-task. Just kidding here! Well, it seems you were just not able to do two things at the same. I also have a problem with that sometimes. In my opinion, that isn't really anything weird.

This all happened within the last year or so and all at university, never once at home. Previous to this I didnt have this problem so I dont know, should I be worried? What can I do?

First change your diet to as good as possible. You can be creative in finding solutions, or ask the forum for help.
Try to also be more objective in the way you look at certain situations. Be open, but also critical too. But I guess this is a matter of learning it from the network and practicing it. Thanks for sharing.

I dont watch TV but I was listening to some music at the time. I think what most likely happened is I just totally lost track of time but didnt realise it maybe due to some dissasociation. That is the best explanation I can come up with.

Thank you for noticing this. Yes, I think there are 2 different things at play here. In one of them, I dissasociate during a conversation as in my mind drifts away or a different thought process takes over and I am unable or find it difficult to stay grounded in the moment. The other is I am completely present in the moment but not in control of my actions and furthermore I am unaware that I have lost control despite being present intellectually.

I think I know what causes the 1st form of dissasociation. I think this is because, in my mind I am playing out how I want something to go, how I want to respond but I am unable to carry it through to the real world because of programs and mechanicalness which take over through the transmission process of thoughts to deeds or subconscious to conscious - it is abit like there is 2 separate elements fighting it out, I guess my mechanical side and the Real I or maybe more accurately mechanical side and essence. The problem is the essence needs the personality to interface with the real world but since the personality is currently fragmented and broken up and all mechanical in nature, these glitches keep occuring. Basically I think the essence might have got to a stage where it wants freedom and the predators mind and it are having abit of a fight.

The 2nd form - lose of control of action, I think might also be somehow linked to this in that I am deep in thought when I am talking about something that I momentarily disconnect or my thoughts run my actions in that whatever I am thinking at that point I am about to do something is what I will end up doing. So for example in that incident I was thinking Pasta in my head and so I went on to put the vegetables in with the pasta. My thoughts literally became my action. Also the fact that in the 2nd example where I didnt know where what I said came from means that, the thinking doesnt happen in the conscious mind solely but rather subconscious and conscious interfacing with each other or subconscious over-riding the conscious mind.

Here is just a thought or two. It seems that maybe you are over concentrating on what you say to people. this could actually cause you to notice that your words are not matching your thoughts even though this might be a relatively common and mostly unnoticeable phenomenon. I am not really sure. A lot of times the act of talking is thinking. I think people don't always know what they are going to say before they say it. Maybe the strange phenomena you describe is due over concentrating on the conversation i.e trying to think through your response before you say it. this is just a thought.

I wouldnt say I over-concentrate on what I say to people, I would say I over concentrate on how I would like my interactions with people to go but my words/actions dont match up to what I want deep down. This leads to a feeling of hopelessness and despair. Other times, whilst talking about something, I might be thinking way to much about what is being talked about that I dissasociate momentarily where a "glitch" takes place because of this dissasociation.

Again I think all this is to do with essence vs mechanicalness and the reason that makes me even think this more is I had a weird dream just the other day where a little boy was trying to tell 4 or 5 grown up men what to do, each one of these grown up men having a different ability or talent. I think the boy might have been the essence and the men might have been the personality in its different fragments. This is the thought I have about it.

My take on it is, the glitches keep occuring because things are not running right, one has to choose at some point whether to be mechanical or non-mechanical and it's a choice found and built on knowledge and understanding ones machine and mechanicalness. In my case I think I am torn between the 2 so as a result all the glitches keep happening. That is the best explanation I can come up with after thinking about what you said wetproof. Furthermore I think it's one of those situations where I run a slight risk of the glitches literally leading to a situation of a failed Being in that I'll get to a point where I can be like a broken up computer and the whole hardware/software thing might not be able to function as it should both in the mechanical state and pure state. Maybe the risk one takes in trying to get free from the matrix where certain aspects get free(either permanently or temporarily) and certain dont leading to one being caught up in no mans land...

This is highly theoretical but what do you guys think?? How can I test this out?

"Oxajil," you are right about the diet and I'll come up with a diet plan, so far I have depended upon the fact that I am still young and my body at its current age can handle it so I havent really got a squeeky clean diet but I try and eat healthy. Most of the time, like literally 6 days a week I eat home made food with fresh ingredients but somethings like sauces I buy already pre-made and who knows what is in them, like preservatives etc etc... I dont know much about gluten but my dad is allergic to it but I can eat glutten and do regularly as it's in bread and I have bread pretty much everyday. I dont know what else has glutten, it's news to me that pasta has glutten. I love pasta...

 

[truth seeker]

Hi Luke,

There are quite a few good threads in the diet section that refer to gluten that you may find helpful. :)

 

[Oxajil]

"Oxajil," you are right about the diet and I'll come up with a diet plan, so far I have depended upon the fact that I am still young and my body at its current age can handle it so I havent really got a squeeky clean diet but I try and eat healthy.

What exactly do you mean with being able to handle it?
Well I am young too, maybe even younger, and when I know some things can make my health worse, then I work towards avoiding them, and replacing them with something healthier. No matter my age. I just think that's an excuse based on lack of knowledge.
Maybe the younger you are, the more impact it'll have on you, without you even knowing it.

I've noticed from eliminating gluten and other foods, that I can better concentrate, and think more clearly. When I cheated on gluten after some months, I had a severe headache, and a brain fog I NEVER experienced with taking gluten before. So no, my body can't handle it, and I don't think your body can't either. If you mean by handling it, that you don't notice any negative effects from it, it's probably because you are not sensitive to it anymore, in other words your body, your immune system, is unable to WARN you that it's bad. But once you eliminate it and start making some changes, your body will restore itself and you will become sensitive and notice effects. Psyche once wrote:

When people eat unhealthy, they become desensitized. But when a detox process is done, people become more pure, hence more sensitive. So once the body is more pure, the immune/defense system is able to signal a stronger alarm when something unhealthy enters the body. It is able to protest stronger in order to not return to the unhealthy state, so to speak.

Most of the time, like literally 6 days a week I eat home made food with fresh ingredients but somethings like sauces I buy already pre-made and who knows what is in them, like preservatives etc etc...

Yes, I don't really call that ''trying and eating healthy''. But maybe I am being picky.

I dont know much about gluten but my dad is allergic to it but I can eat glutten and do regularly as it's in bread and I have bread pretty much everyday. I dont know what else has glutten, it's news to me that pasta has glutten. I love pasta...

You will be shocked to know what that everyday bread is doing to you.
Research is needed, my friend! You will notice a lot of benefits once you have made the diet changes. And maybe then, the ''high strangeness'' will decrease too. Without your body, you wouldn't be here, I think it's very respectful to take good care of it, but maybe that's just my way of thinking.
Also, with a more pure body, spiritual growth may happen with more ease.

Fair Points Oxajil.

I am going to completely revamp my diet. Before I do that though, I'll have to go through the diet section so I can know what and what not to eat.

I might start a thread there if I run into problems about what to remove or add into what I eat.
