Spiritual connection, or all in my head?

Maybe not every fleeting thought, but it could be that the reason you constantly got him on the mind is because you are constantly on his mind and you're picking up that connection. We're all psychic to some degree or another. It's intense/emotional moments that bring it to our awareness for many of us.

You're in your head too much. Did you have to plan out everything in those first few days to make sure it all went according to plan? No, you just did what you were going to do and it happened more perfect than you ever could have planned it. The universe does a better job of laying out our lives than we do.

You gotta learn to hear your intuition and take inspired action that may not seem significant in the moment but leads to significance. The trick is to let go of expectation and live life. When you let go of the resistance that's when everything flows on its own and we just go along for the ride.

Great advice!

After all, you can't be blamed for stalking, casually browsing a book store.
Speaking for myself, there is no way I would prolong this torture a few more weeks...i need to know and need to know now! No matter how shy I am, torturing myself (regarding his thoughts) is far worse than any possible
rejection.
Like a bandaid... the faster you pull it off, the better.

Now, take a deep breath, do not over think it, and get yourself into that book store...I have a feeling you will be pleasantly surprised:)

Hope...I totally agree! :)

A couple of weeks??? You must be kidding, right?!?

You've got nothing to lose, LaLuna.. Nothing! On the contrary, you'll only gain. Whether he is interested in you or not, you'll know FOR SURE. You won't go anymore wondering like you have these last few weeks. How you could go on for so long will remain a mystery to me, that's for sure lol...

Arrrghhh! Now I wish I were really there...

Hehe. Thank you guys for your encouragement. It means a lot to me. Okay, based on your recommendations I will go to the bookstore this week. I'm going to go on the same day that I went in last time because that is likely his shift. And there is an event that evening too so it will just appear that I'm there for the event.

If nothing comes of this, at least I will know I tried and maybe then can just put it to rest finally.

You've all given really great advice. And engellstein... thank you for saying that. Yes, I guess I thought that everything seemed to happen so organically and naturally those three days with no effort that I thought, if we were meant to meet again it would happen like that, with no effort. I figured the universe might bring us together again or something.

But I guess now I feel like I could just go on and say well it wasn't meant to happen or something and maybe just kick myself for sitting back. I've been very passive when it comes to dating my whole life, expecting things to come to me rather than being proactive. So this doesn't feel natural to me and I'm worried how I will come across. I don't go to the bookstore very often so it may seem obvious if he sees me there. But what can I do, it seems like this won't leave my mind until I do something.

I really thought maybe the group would be active even once the teacher left for India. And maybe they will be at some point and I'll be contacted again but, I feel like I can't just wait for that to happen.

Sigh. This is hard but I will try. Nothing ventured nothing gained right? And yes, nothing to fear but fear itself. I'm genuinely wondering if I something will happen with the group again so that is a natural question I can ask him. I know I could ask the woman who invited me in the first place and I may do so too but it doesn't hurt to ask him if I see him at the bookstore.

Be sure to let us know how things go, LaLuna...

I haven't read all your posts but I do have the warning bells ringing loud and clear.

You sound like a nice person.

People are very adept making things look accidental and unfortunately not all people are very nice. Trust me, I ve had some stuff happen to me this year........ its very difficult to shake.

I might have completely misunderstood of course but I ve got this sound right chiming in my ear whilst reading your opening post. Id hate for you to get into any trouble. People can be VERRRRRRRRY clever when it suits them.

Laluna - I'd love to hear some updates, too! :) I was just reading through this thread and realized how very much I can relate to your story... except yours is written much more eloquently than mine. ;)

So I can't really offer any help here, but I just felt compelled to comment and subscribe to the thread. I really enjoyed reading your story so far and can't wait to hear the end of it! Maybe your next update will give me some inspiration as well. :)

This piece really resonated with me:

Yeah, It's all in your head...

Thoughts have a higher dewlling place than the visible world, and its skies are not clouded by sensuality. Imagination finds a road to the realm of the gods, and there man can glimpse that which is to be after the souls' liberation fromt he world of substance.

Kahlil Gibran, 1883-1930

Trust in the authenticiy of your experiences and feelings here,

Your intuition will not lie to you, it never do's.. If you have doubts slam on the breaks, if it feels right, step on the gas... you'll never know any way unless you heed your thoughts and feelings in this regard.. Just One small tinsy curve ball.. What is Good for you , sometimes feels like a lesson.
