Hello,
I do not know why it is and why me, but, the weirdest things happen to me and I survive them. I am feeling better now, but, I was hit by lightning that came into my solarium when I was working with my herbs. It knocked me from sitting on the walk to my back and I laid there looking up for I do not know how long, wondering if I was dead or alive, as I did not feel my body like I normally do. I just felt so different, like I exploded, but, I cannot describe in words how it felt as I have never felt anything like that before. I was sitting on the cement walk next to my enclosed swimming pool that is in my solarium, that is a glass room 30' x 42' large with a 18' high ceiling of twinwall polycarbonate that retracts open in the center of it and exposes the sky, but, that is not where the lightning came from as it was not open. The room is completely all glass except for the framing, which is a metal structure. From my bedroom you enter the swimming pool suite with an enclosed inground 16' x 32' swimming pool and to the right I have a path of earth between the pool walk and side of solarium. There are glass sliding doors all around the structure to open up . I had the one door open in front of me and I was sitting on the cement path bending over with a piece of slate rock in my hand digging some earth around my basil. The day was very nice with no signs of dark skies or rain, I was enjoying the moment gardening. There was an unexpected burst of screaming thunder and cracking explosions, it had started to storm. There was much loud blammy, blammy happening and the sky was flashing very bright. I knew the lightning was very close, like almost right over me. I have experienced this many times as I have stood in the solarium and watched it, however, I was never near an open door . SO, I was then thinking of my computer, that is was on and I should turn it off so it would not get hit by lightning (my house gets hit a lot). When I thought that, that instant there was this tremendously bright, very bright light that came to me and a crack like the sky had split apart and I was filled with something that I cannot explain how it felt like as I have never felt it before. It did not feel like an electrical jolt, it did not feel like I got burned or nothing like that. I felt filled up, like my body was full of something, and I just don't know what that was like to describe. And I was thinking a million things at one time as I was knocked off my butt to my back on the cement path next to my pool. I laid there for some time wandering if I was alive or dead as I could not feel my body, I could only see what was around me and know what was around me and I had thoughts running through my mind. I knew I was hit by lightning, but, I did not know what happened to me as far as any harm. I laid there for a while and I did not remember how I got there too much, except the light and blammy, I was on my back. I went into my bed room, I was in labored breathing, and my heart was beating very fast. I was not afraid, that was not why it was beating so fast, it was like it was wired that way and my head was exploding and I could not breath, like I was breathing, but, I could not get air or something. I was grabbing for my oxygen and realized then that the power was off in my home. I could only lay there and try to meditate, but my head was spinning and my heart was thumping away, I had no energy for about 4 hours. I then got up and tried to figure out what all happened to me and if I was all right. My head was hurting and my chest was tight and my body felt weird, but, I cannot describe the feeling really. I was in shock though, in a way, to realize I was hit by lightning. I told my friend and he told me the water in the pool was an attracter with the structure. The lightning must have been very close right over my house and came in the open door. I just happened to be there, but was lucky I was not in the water, or standing in water, or hand tools in my hand. I did not have any jewelry on and I was holding a stone . That day I had taken my scarab off my neck that I wear always, I had taken it off to check the clasp and laid it down. So, for some reason I was lucky I suppose. I have not been feeling good though. I have been in bed resting for all of these days, as I have no energy and get winded. My head feels like it is filled up with worms crawling about and I just now am getting it together to communicate again. I have been watching music DVDs Paul brought over about Cream (really great concert) and John Lennon. I have just been listening to all sorts of music and laying low, rewiring my brain in meditation. I find I can not meditate like I was doing before, it seems I can not let go and focus with out focusing, if that makes sense. I guess what I am trying to say is my mind feels different. I am not smarter or dumber, just different and scrambled in a way. I think I will get better and recover from this, it did not kill me, it was just something weird that happened and I made it and did not get hurt too bad. I did not feel the after effects of the hit until a few hours later as I think that is when I was more conscious, the earlier hours seem like a blur to me. I was with out oxygen though, so, I am thinking that is what caused my forgetfulness. I will heal from this and keep trying to do good. I do not really know why I am writing about this except it is like some weird news that would be posted I suppose and you folks like to read high strangeness - like, "Zany Girl Gets Hit With Lightning in Her Own Home..." - "Thought her alien implant had gone haywire, but found to be normal lightning after all...." Well, some strange news headline like that in the tabloids and it just happens to be me.....great.....
And then this is really dumb..... after I had laid there for a few hours to rest to see if I was Ok, I got up to finish some of my chores. I was OK I thought, just a little weak, like exhausted sort of. I wanted to get the plastic off the tadpoles I am trying to grow as the rain had filled up their barrels. I tried to walk over the ledge of the door and step on my bucket I use as a stair step and the bucket just happened to decide to rot that day and my right foot went all of the way through it when I had my left leg hurdling over the concrete ledge. I landed with my left thigh on the ledge and dragged it to the ground where I tumbled down head first with my calf ripped up and foot throbbing for getting stabbed by the broken bucket. I am now sporting a horizontal gash of 6 inches by 5 inches almost on my left, backside thigh and a rip down my calf. I got hurt bad that day. I twisted my sacrum, which, I did not need, so this girl did not have too good of a day that day and I have been in bed recovering from all of that. But, my friend did come to work on my back and to keep me company this weekend to make sure I was Ok. Well, all of this is quite stupid really. Just freak accidents in the same day a few hours a piece. I was wondering about my astrological chart. I am Libra, Aquarius rising and Moon in Gemini, for any of you who know about astrology. Oh, born in 1957 on October 13th...Las Vegas. Maybe my chart progression is doing something, maybe some one can tell me what is going on? Things are changing a lot in my life and real quick. So, was this in the stars? Fate? Freak things to happen or what? Just chalk it all up to a bad day? Haha....maybe the lightning will make me smarter in the long run once I heal from it.....Like in the movie, "Forbidden Planet," when the doctor puts the Quell brain machine on his head and blows his IQ up many folds.
Well, that is all.

Good to hear you're okay,
Good to hear you're okay, Collette! But go see a doctor about the lightning strike, it could have given you an irregular heartbeat, all kinds of hidden problems. Take care of yourself.
I have days like that, when everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Usually I drop anything I pick up, spill drinks, trip over, miss buses, etc. I've almost been struck by lightning. I went out to the yard to check on the dog during a fierce thunderstorm. Her kennel was next to the shed, a large aluminium construction. I was halfway there when BOOM!... I found myself on my arse unable to hear anything except a loud ringing. I sat there dazed for a few seconds until my hearing returned. Lightning had struck the shed, a few metres away. The dog wasn't even in her kennel, she was hiding in bushes. Very lucky (the dog too!).
As for astrology, don't know if that had anything to do with it. Although I had Saturn in Cancer for years, and it was the worst time of my life, I took two steps backward for every step forward, and went nowhere fast. Saturn finally left last year, things started to pick up and move forward -- but now I'm stuck again and I can't blame Saturn!
Take it easy Collette!

OMG
get well.. take care of yourself
hugs
marissa
ps your place sounds wonderful
Take care of yourself
Dear Colette. So sorry you had such a scary experience, and pleased you are okay. Take things easy for a while until your mind and body get back into sync, as it would all have taken a terrible shock at the time. Please let us know how you get on.
Love, Kathrinn
Real Time - Choice and Peaking
Hello there,
Yes, Saturn, well, I am even unsure what Saturn means in my chart. I do have all “air” in my chart, I am known as a triple air sign and I have many planets in Libra – I am real Libra - Libra. Many say that I am “out there” because of my air signs….who really knows? Good luck to you too, yeah, we really can’t blame it on the planets can we?
I do think the hit of lightning affected my heart as last night I was working and I realized I was blacking out, or like I was starting to feel like I had smoked some herb (no do not do that any more) or a twist of sorts in my reality, and blackness was coming in around my peripheral vision. My heart felt like some one had their hand around it and was trying to twist it by the roots and pull it out, it was rolling and thumping in hard irregular beats and I was loosing my consciousness as in real time and started feeling as if I was moving into dream state. I was aware of this however and watched to see if a heart attack was coming on, or if it would pass, or I would pass out or pass altogether (-- oooo----don’t know if I am ready to do that or not, was at one time, but need to get some things done before I spilt.) either of any was not good. But, it lasted about 8 minutes and went away. I know the one night I was sleeping after watching the music videos I supposedly was talking in my sleep and talking about sound recording and laying tracks in the studio. I use to be a sound engineer in LA, and the music videos were inspiring me to think of my youth when I was a musician and all. It was in the early morning I was talking in my sleep, but, that I do no think is related to me getting hit with lightning.
My head still feels like there are worms in it and they are crawling around. I do not want to go to a doctor as it is a hassle for me. I do not drive much and do not leave this house only but 2 times a month or if I am traveling. Also, if I go to a doctor they will want me to come back for diagnostics, those are a real pain in the butt and waste my time, and I do not need the negative programming of…”you have this and you will this and then this will happen and on and on, it is not really true what they say anyway. I have never met any doctor whose diagnosis has matched up with another one, especially with those artifacts in my brain which have been a long time discussion in the field of alien implant research….not too nice to think about and I do not know what to think as no one else does either. I had written about that in the book Alien Discussions at MIT, my paper of how doctors do not agree on any one diagnosis, and where are the standards of reading MRIs when no one can agree on what is what. Oh, I have been through hell with doctors and that is why I am one.
I watch the world around me go by and I interject in between I suppose. My life is just another wave form of information intertwined in the main highway out there. I phase in and out and create harmonics or discord, it depends on the melody and rhythm of life I am in tune with. I guess we have the ability to chose our songs we dance to, that is a standard pitch that is used, however, there are instances where I believe we do not have control and it is something bigger than our desires and dream state and it is circumscribing and all encompassing and beyond our scope of maintaining. Those are periods of the – shit hit the fan – mode. Shit hit the fan the other day, and I made of it what I could and watched as the events took place, I was a active participant though as I had choice, my choice was to get that plastic off those tadpoles, my choice was to garden in the storm, so I can hardly squabble that I was nuked on without my permission on some level, as if I was a victim. I made my self a victim by bad choices. I should have been more cautious. This is a lesson for many.
I can apply choice to other aspects of my conscious life. I feel we need to keep our emotions in check and be aware of our inner self so our subconscious does not create situations that are playing out in the negative realm when we are not mature enough to get pass them. Only subconscious choices that are in victim mode that are beneficial to a person should be allowed as they can be used as a growth experience and to teach us to make proper choices, as in cause and effect. To be aware of your own self that you are making positive choices that will create a maturing growth experience and not an experience that will hinder your growth as a mature conscious person. Victim mode can be very negative, and a realm that is non productive. As a victim you have choices, but, you should be always aware of what choices you have to make the best out of a bad issue. If I was more aware of what the potential was of my actions that day, I would not have chosen to garden and I would have had second thoughts of hurdling that ledge on to the bucket.
Often times I had thought about the dangers of lightning, often times I had thought about that bucket blowing out; I did not heed my warnings, I left them aside and chose chance, chance won out as statistics turned over and favored a negative outcome. You can only do something so many times until you reach a limit and it reverses itself as you peak out and move onto the declining edge of an event. Real time would have it that I had 100 times I could place my foot on the bucket with out it blowing out, 1000 times I could enter my solarium and interact with the storm with out getting hit by lightning, but, after those values are reached the statistics change and I then favor disaster on the downside - do you see what I am saying? Once I hit that peak level I should then make a change, make a change so I start fresh again at zero and increase my odds of favor. Next time I will listen to my little me that tells me things I need to pay attention to; some call that intuition.
I am taking care of me the best I know how. It is hard to get pass the “ I need to get this done” feeling. Yeah, this is all pretty weird isn’t it.

Nice Article - thank you
WEll, I do not think so, I think I am an ordinary person that got whacked with electricity.
I just heard today that two other poeple got hit by lightning the same day I did, they died instantly though. I got off easy I think. They were 2 men out on a soccer field, no sign of any bad skies either until whammy, and they got blasted and went down at the same time. This was just a little south of me.

Sorry to hear of those who didn't survive. Mother nature is unpredictable.

I never saw such luck...
I am Libra also and things always go good for me...I guess you have the same luck...Perhaps you should stay in bed and never get up. There are days when I feel that way myself.
Keep safe
I never had such luck
That is why I am wondering about the stars and planets..haha..well, I am trying to have a good attitude about it, it is just so freaky and it feels weird still. I am glad you are a Libra, that makes me smile. No wonder you are so intense in your writing, eh?
