Hi All!

The following is a reprint from my blog drshelley.blogspot.com about a trip I took a few years back to India and some strange happenings there.  I will post a longer look at India later.  I think this was written in March of 2006, if I remember correctly.....

It has come to my attention since coming here that there is a very ancient form of divination here called Naadi Leaves and I want to tell you about them here.

Apparantly, several thousand years ago scribes wrote predictions for the future for certain souls and recorded them on bamboo leaves. These writings have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years and are to be discovered by certain people at preordained moments in time. The writings record the soul history and tell everyting the soul has and will do including itme of death, exact names of parents, etc - too much to say here.

I had never heard of this before I arrived and my roommate told me about it and said she planned to travel t south India to get this reading when the conference was over. I immediately said, "Can I get this in Delhi?" She did not know and researched it for me and yesterday went to a place where it is done.

When she returned she told me about it and I went immediately to this place. When yo arrive they do not ask your name or anything else about you. They simply take your thumbprint.

Then they go to a room where the documents are kept and search for yours. Amazingly, they found mine within a few minutes and through process of elimination my exact record was located along with another friend who I took with me.

I was stunned by what they told me. They said my name "shelley" my fathers name "mickey" and exact date of my birth, day of week, and too many other very personal details about me to tell you here.

I went back to the conference after they found my records and the records of my companion and told this to a few people who I took there today and they too had records that were found.

One person who went today was told no, there were no records, and my friend who originally told me where to go to have this done did not have her records there. I still think hers are down south where she is going on Saturday.

What you need to know is that this is the only record like it in the world. It is literally like finding a needle in a haystack and what is the likelihood of all of us coming here and finding it together like this?

It makes me rethink many of my philosophical contemplations about the nature of destiny and the soul.

Are all things actually preordained and destined to happen or is there free will? I asked this to my new friends there and they told me this reading will offer the highest path, warn of future troubles.

As author of a book on parallel universes I had to wonder what to think of this. I said "What if you tell me this is my destiny but I also see another path to take? Can I still take that?"

"Yes, of course," he said, "but we can warn you of troubles and the other path may actually have more troubles than the highest destiny."

So as I struggle to come to terms with this shift in paradigm between total control of destiny verses the preordination of our souls paths and contracts, I am totally blown away.

To think that these 4 women I met here and I may have met thousands of years ago to leave ourselves a message we would happen to find in March 2006 is absolutely amazing to me. These 4 friends will be with me the rest of my life - I know it!

What comes next is the actual reading. Once my record was found, the astrologer pulls it and sets an appointment with you to come back and read it for you. As synchronicity would have it, the five of us will travel together to do this tomorrow afternoon.

So what do you think about destiny? Do we have freewill or are all things preordained? Would love to see what you think.
