Has this been happening to any of you?

[morawaj]

greetings,

i don't know if this has any relevance to the changes which are occurring to earth and its inhabitants but i felt compelled to ask and maybe david may have a comment or two about this. i was wondering if others may have had or are currently having similar experiences. over the past few weeks i have been experiencing periods where i will start to well up and shed a tear or two. it has happened at work, home and even on my train commute to/from work. the feelings i am experiencing when it occurs is not fear, sadness nor of joy and this is rather confusing to me. it is a totally new experience. it usually happens once or twice a day but there have been days it has not occurred and then days when may it may have occurred 3 or 4 times. sometimes it is accompanied by most of my body tingling and sometimes not at all.

just this morning my only child (a beautiful 2 year old girl) came into my office as i was doing some reading on the net. she sat on my lap and we had a little conversation and i gave her a kiss on the cheek and forehead then i shed a few tears. these were definitely accompanied by feelings of joy! but then about an hour later as i was again reading material on the net i had heard the tv on in the background (children shows) and had a quick passing thought about turning off the tv and going in my backyard to just look at a nice maple tree we have there. then i started to well up again. but in this instance i did not have any particular emotional feelings that i could make out. at the time i was reading some material about "melchizedek" but it was nothing that had instilled any positive or negative emotions in me.

not to get sidetracked but earlier in the week late in the evening i was reading some carla channeled material from q'uo that had referenced merkaba meditation. i started getting sleepy and decided to call it a night. i wandered off to bed, closed my eyes for a few seconds and started to think about what i had just read about meditation and how i should proceed. that is what type of meditation, should i read some books on the subject or order some cd's, etc as i have never done mediation in the past. then i opened my eyes and they were directly staring at my projection clock on my ceiling and it was 11:11. i saw that and felt a great emotion and shed a few tears. i remembered recently reading about the significance of such numbers (i believe david had some write-ups about this and synchronicity) and i just felt as if my higher self was sending me a "take notice" message which i feel is that i should start doing mediations. so i have since then ordered some books/cd's on metta and merkaba mediation. btw, i’ve been experiencing these tearful moments for a week or two prior to this experience.

just a brief history. i am a married male in my early 40's. i've had in interest in 2012 ever since i saw some prophetic tv show way back in the 90's. that's where i learned about edgar cayce and was really fascinated by his story/history and also a bit freaked out about future talks of doomsday. come forward to february of this year. i had just started getting freaked out about 2012 again. i heard a rather negative audio show on the net that really freaked me out. had some thoughts of "what am i doing here?". i started going to bed thinking terrible thoughts about stuff that could happen to my beautiful little daughter and myself and my wife. needless to say i was getting a very negative prospect on life. then a few weeks later a friend at work invited me to lunch with her and her cousin. we were all talking and discussing some of the problems of the world and then edgar cayce came up. her cousin mentioned david’s name and his tie to cayce and said she had even helped to get david to chicago (i believe) for some conference some time ago. that's when she gave me this website. since snooping around here, listening to david’s science of peace material and also stumbling upon the law of one material i have had a much desired turn around in my feelings. i still have some negative thoughts now and then but by far they are mostly positive. so i am extremely happy to have been guided to this site.

i always considered myself a good person but always felt like there was nothing 'i' could do to help the world in a positive way other than being a good person. for the last two or three decades i've always wished we could live in a peaceful world. prior to that i think i really just went with the flow. while i certainly never wish to cause any feelings of ill for anyone i can i honestly say i still haven't got to the feeling of lovingness to others (at least those outside the few people i genuinely care for) yet. there's a lot of material i've been absorbing recently and the awakening is a long journey.

sorry for the lengthy post. the basic question again goes back to if others have been experiencing occurrences of tears that's foreign to them such as i’ve described here. or may shed some insight into what may be going on

peace to us all,
john

hey john. i've had some similar experiences with the tears. when i was a child between the ages of 8-11 (i think) i would have days where i would be so emotional and cry for no reason. everything made me cry on certain days and i had to just stay home from school. or if i was at school, the teacher would let me go into another room by myself.

then throughout my teen years i didn't cry much at all. fast forward to about 20 years old when i had my awakening, and the tears have come back. sometimes i have days where i feel like i just need to shed some tears for no reason. i also am quick to shed tears during movies (not the most masculine thing i know). its taken some getting use to again, but i don't consider emotion to be a negative thing when expressed in an appropriate manner. i don't recall ever having a tingling sensation while crying, but that sensation is always pleasant and invigorating, so embrace it. :)

i know, john, it has happened to me - and still does, but presently not with the same past regularity.

i've been a seeker for forty years, almost since my infancy. questions regarding the soul have occupied my interest all my life.

i have come to know that those episodes of living on the knife edge of tears almost perpetually, for months on end, have happened at those times when i have entertained the greatest epiphanies of spiritual insight; the steepest levels of successful meeting of growth catalyst, with the con-commitant glimpses of a higher, wider and more joyful panorama of consciousness.

it happens to me, though it hasn't always. i think it definitely happens more since having children. so, could it be something to do with the opening and blossoming of the heart chakra? it is good to feel...to be aware of things in a deep way. :)

i understand the negative thoughts. i still have a lot of work to do with my own, as i have realized that i need to merge my spiritual understanding with the physical world to ever be truly happy. there have been many challenges to face, which seem to have been ever increasing during the past year or more. it is perhaps preparing me, pushing me further to my destiny, my initiation.

the feelings of lovingness towards others will come naturally with this realization (real-eyes) that all is truly one. it needs to come from within, with one's own insight. a few years ago i felt inspired to write some thoughts down, when these words came to me: "there is no real evil except ignorance itself; a desensitization; an amnesia from our true nature- unity with all of life".

i later decided to call that blog empathy.
i strongly feel that empathy will be one of the most powerful ways for this world to come to an understanding of unity, of love and forgiveness. it is through a deeper understanding of each other that we can learn to stop hating, to start to love each other again. it is through understanding; empathy, that we will pave the way to world harmony.


love.

yes i too have the same thing happen to me about twice weekly for about 2 years now, i certainly questioned it as well because it seemed to be out of place, like not attached to negative or positive emotion. i also get about 4-5 times a year a filling up of energy that comes thru the lower charkas up into the heart, a physical feeling almost like a baloon effect where at first i would almost panic as i felt i couldn't contain this energy, it would not though, i'v become aware it's fully capable of holding this energy for 5-7 minutes. now that i'm relaxed with it when it happens i know it feels nice, yet i don't know what this is, and i cannot figure out an association with it.?
i also started off with edgar cayce 20 years ago after having experienced an awake vision while driving. no one was able to help me interpet the vision which is how i winded up seeking what made more sense and resonated within. then to the seth material, law of one series, david wilcock's story.
for me i really do go by if it resonates, i continue with it, if it does not, i don't read it. it's pretty hard to have your belief system just shatter lying in the street, but thru david's work i feel so much better as my understanding is greater and i have replaced my whole belief system. it's my experience it takes time mostly because i had no one else to speak with. these are signs that you are indeed on the correct path.

[mellisamouse]

yes!!! it has been happening to me too, for about two weeks as well....

i figure that i am full of graditude for the direction we are going in, although still mourning what is passing away, even though i don't like what is passing away, if that makes sense......i also feel as if my higher self knows something i don't know. something wonderful and beautiful

my three year old and i also cried together like babies for a good 10 minutes the other day just hugging and hugging each other, when we were talking together about what a beautiful future is in store, and blessed we are to have each other etc. (we are like best buds, we talk about everything together..he is a wise little soul ;) .)

[yayeeya]

i'm not crazy! this usually happens to me a 3-4 times a week. it's like something just hits me, correct, it's really neither an overpowering pos/neg feeling. it's actually both in a way, a tear for love and a tear for the sheepole, is how it feels for me. once a month or so i have those good 5 minute ones too!

[johnasmodeus]

i often get this when reading something inspirational; neither good nor bad but almost like a feeling of recognition. usually though, i get not tears but the urge to shout at the sky (often in public!) and cry at the same time when certain thoughts cross my mind. again, it has something to do with recognition or a brief remembering; a temporary thinning of the veil if you will.

tears are interesting; it seems to serve no physical purpose for our eyes to leak when we are upset, but they do all the same.

[Magical_Mongoose]

i try to do this everyday ;) put on some sigur ros, sit in the back of the streetcar and start pulsating energy along with the music, feeling the surges of tingling energy going through me as i direct them outwards for people to tap into. it usually puts me into the zone where i can just feel empathy and love for people as they step onboard or as i pass them by on the street, regardless of what they look like. it's brought me to tears on many occasions, but the only way i can describe them as being tears of liberation, of relief, hope, and beauty. i wish there was a word for that :d

[Art]

it hasn't been as "bad" recently, but about two months ago (right about the time i "withdrew" from the forum), i had intended to connect with my higher self during sleep. i really put alot of focus into this before i slept, asking for guidance from my higher self.

i woke up in the middle of the night balling my eyes out. i remember saying aloud "i'm so unhappy".

i'm not one to cry hardly ever. i am sympathetic, empathetic, more in-tune with my emotions than the normal guy, but this was beyond anything i've ever experienced. it shocked me to the point where i had to step way back and evaluate just what the heck was going on.

it may be that we, collectively, are peeling back the layers of illusion to the real, present emotion of "humanity" as a whole - unhappiness. many of us are empaths, so these emotions are not ours, but we are picking up on them... maybe?

so many people are desperately trying to find happiness through material means, escaping the present here and now for an unattainable future. it may be that we're (collective humanity) realizing that what we've been told for years is a bunch of bs and people everywhere are awakening to the harsh reality. of course, those here on this forum are already awake and are here to show the way...

anyway, thats my two cents. i think its important to always create peace within and radiate light and love outwards, if we (collective humanity) is going to breakthrough... i've found many people pick up a positive vibe and attitude just because its so much different than what people are used to...

[johnasmodeus]

@art:

your unhappiness is a good thing. it indicates that you aren't in sync with the way things are right now (i.e. "sane").

i'm envious that you are getting such strong results, though. i have been trying to do the same thing and making slower progress. my dreams have become more interpretable, however.

[awakennow]

i have numerous friends that are having similar experiences of suddenly crying for no apparent reason. i have been working on my own ascension process consciously for 10 years and unconsciously almost 30 years. ascension is a process that can often be very uncomfortable or frightening when we don't have any references to connect our experiences and feelings with this ascension process. we'll have experiences on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. as we shift our consciousness all sorts of things begin to change in our lives, many of them spontaneous like the crying. i believe the crying is a release of old layers and usually we're not even aware of what we're releasing. it's really a good thing. another thing many people are experiencing as they raise their vibration higher and higher and activate their lightbodies to higher dimensional energies is their kundalini. this very physical energy runs up the spine. this if very powerful energy and can be very ecstatic or dangerous. you need to learn how to control it. there is a lot of information available about that. the most important thing now. as david has said repeatedly, is to stay out of fear. focusing on gratitude is an easy way to shift your energy to a higher frequency and maintain a peaceful mind. the most important thing we can do now for ourselves and the planet is to stay out of fear.

[morawaj]

thanks so much everyone for their thoughts and experiences. please keep them coming as i find these experiences and comments very interesting. i've not had the experience that much the last few days but today it must have occurred about 4 times and i'm still trying to narrow down my thoughts, feelings etc when it happens or just prior to that.

magical_mongoose, before heading out to work i read your reply. i had never heard of 'sigur ros' so i did a quick google and found their site. had no idea they were a band. i downloaded two of their songs and loaded it up to my mp3 player. so i'm on a bus heading to work and i started up the first song. while watching the clouds on this gray morning and at the same time thinking about your comment of listening to it on the streetcar as you direct your feelings and energy out to others. that definitely seemed to stir up one of the stronger rounds of tears that i've ever had since this started. maybe it stirred a deep feeling to 'connect' with others. i'm still working on it. anyway thanks for your post! btw here's a link to the song i was listening to. it's a free download from their site. it's a language i don't even understand but it had a kind of an ethereal feel to it with a nice drum beat and was really nice.

art, i never even had any thoughts about communicating with my higher self until a few weeks ago. so i see a definite possibility of these experiences tied to that desire as they both seemed to start around the same time. i've been listening to some material from gregg braden lately and maybe it's just the desire to become more "grounded", a more caring loving individual. see the true nature of our interconnectedness?

this evening i found the post david put out under "synchronistic interdependability" with a video clip from deepak chopra. the following profound segment really struck a cord with me as i take it as the appreciation of the here and now and what that appreciation can bring and maybe that's the true nature of my tearful experiences. just recognizing and living in the moment as insignificant as the present experience may be at the time.

when the buddha was dieing one of his favorite disciples ananda asked him he said, "are you god? and buddha said, no. he said, are you a prophet, are you a messiah, are you a messenger? and buddha kept saying no to everything. and finally ananda said, well you got to tell me who you are before you die and buddha said, i am awake and that's what the word means by the way. buddha means one who is awake, one who has awakened, one who is aware, one who is totally in life centered present moment awareness which is the window, the transformational vertex, the corridor to the infinite mind, to the infinite consciousness.

peace,
john

hello

at the moment the clouds are pouring out...not grieving tears, not happy ones either, but i feel thankful becuse the earth really needs water after the extremely dryness we experienced in june here in the south of sweden anyway...

..when i feel the connection, the understanding, the "numinousness" of creation, tears come to my eyes...out of thankfulness i think which creates joy...

art, the exact same thing happened to me! i woke up in the middle of the night and sat straight up in bed crying uncontrollably because it had been made clear to me in a dream that the religious organization i was very involved in had been misleading and hypocritical. and, at that time, i never remembered my dreams...ever.

i was inconsolable and the effects of it lingered for days. i, too, found myself stepping way back from normal activities because i was so shocked at my emotional outburst. it definitely got my attention. how could i ignore it?

that 'dark night of the soul' was the beginning of my journey onto the pathway that i now travel. ultimately, i left the organization that had been molding my life and my belief system for a very long time. it was a huge departure that effected my life in many, many ways...and it all began in that moment.

i am not one to wear my emotions on my sleeve. i am, however, so very happy most of the time that it is clear to those around me, and i find myself sharing love and light along with positive energy without even trying. i smile at strangers and hug trees (well...only when no one is looking :cool:).

meditation frequently brings me to tears in moments of deep insight and when working through issues that require intense understanding and forgiveness. i welcome this emotion because it is so meaningful and usually clarifies a situation or allows me to leave a particular burden behind and move forward.

personally, i think that emotions and tears are important aids in helping us to continue to learn and to grow through all of the lessons that we have lined up for ourselves in this lifetime. just mho...:)

sharing the love and the light,
nancy

when i think of my 2 boys (5 and 7 years old) and image in my mind things i am experiencing (and want to experience) as they grow, i will cry with such a release it is calms me and i feel elated. somehow i feel like someone is telling me it's alright things will be fine.

i still have issues with being there for them through the times ahead. i am personally having issues with this and have a frustration about it. i don't want my kids to feel abandoned. the older one woke crying one night and told me he isn't ready for me to go yet. since then he keeps asking questions about death.

in the light and love of all

i personally am glad to hear of so many having this happen. i thought it was just me being over sensitive. i have alway been a bit more emotional than the average male, but as of late its been kind of pathetic. i have had time durings certain movies or songs where i have felt a personal connnection and have watered up a bit. but lately it seems that even when i'm not feeling a particular emotion i will start tearing up and sometimes even more.

also about a week ago i had what i thought was a panic attack, something i've never had before, and it really freaked me out. i went to emergency room to try and see what was wrong with me according to them, well they basicly said nothing was wrong and after taking my blood they just sent me home. i thought this was kind of odd considering this was such an extreme feeling for me. well after some now i've come to realize that it was not a panic attack, though i had the same symptoms. i had an inner ear infection which is where my vertigo came from, but the rest of it felt like....an overwhelming about of energy entering my body, so much so that i could not formulate a whole sentence. now i've only been on my journey conciously for about 3 months now, but in these 3 months i have come to accept a lot of what i questioned for my entire life. this flow of energy actually made me freak myself out because i didn't know what it was, caused heat/cold flashes and a long period of crying for no apparent reason.

i don't know if anyone else has had this "panic attack" feeling as i had or if anyone else will, but i will say this: if you do don't freak out, meditate on it and try to center the energy. i truely wish i had done this when it happened but my vertigo made it very hard to relax my mind because i was very off-centered and was not able to keep still and concetrate. well thats all i really have, thanks op and everyone else who responded, i feel much more comfortable knowing that others are having this occur as well.


love to you and myself, all is one and one is all :d

[Silvanus Sanctus Germanus]

guilty, i guess i should admit it, for me it happens when i contemplate spirit yearning to evolve. i think of the millions of years endured and all the strugles an entety crawls through with nothing but faith and the longing for higher expressions of life. i've always had a bit of a soft spot for pets for example and also for people that get picked on ect...............sylvain....................

[Dihlon]

in the loo material, ra speaks of the brothers and sisters of sorrow (loo, 12.26). i point this out, because, i experience this same welling up on a continual basis. it is usually, as it seems to be with you, preceded by a profound compassion that is hard to explain. or perhaps, after reading something that touches our deeper nature, we become reconnected(as you were by the innocence of a two year-old), to our sorrow and to why we have come here, at this time and for what purpose. consider the fact that you have these experiences resulting from contact with people. as we move into fourth-density, we are deepening. we are coming into contact with our true selves. we are vibrating to a completely new order and construct of what it is to be human, or more perfectly, the nature of humanity itself.

for me, it is as if i am hearing the collective suffering that is crying out for relief. a profound sadness that seems to pervade the minds of all those i come into contact with, albeit, on an imperceptible unconscious level. when this happens, i am easily moved by just how beautiful everything truly is and i become overwhelmed by the enormity of how to reach out and share what i see.

at these times, give thanks and praise. connect with what is happening within you. breath it in, and then, breath it back out to all that is around you. envision it mingling with the particles around you, coupling and becoming one with the molecules of air and matter. imbue it with the profound sense of compassion and love that is awakening within you and allow it to pervade the space that you inhabit, in that moment, give it freely without self. bless it and acknowledge the creator that has given it and you will begin to know that you are doing what you have come to do. being an instrument and conduit for the light that is raising the vibration on this tiny sphere.

this is the purpose of the wanderer. at times, it is difficult for us to know what we are to do. rather than beat ourselves up over what to do and how to do it, set aside egocentricity and the distortion of third density self. know that we are connected to a wider universe and that even the most seemingly insignificant particle in that universe contains the whole power of creation within it. by experiencing ourselves in this consciousness and allowing it to become part of our corner of existence, we change the very nature of that corner and all those who come into contact with it.

blessed be and continuing light and love to you. you are truly blessed.
