How did I know?
Posted by Carol_Noble at 21:04, 30 Jun 2009Back in 1982, when I was 33 years of age, Britain was at war with Argentina over the invasion of the Falkland Islands.
I am not here to discuss the rights or wrongs of that political issue, but to tell a tale about something that happened at that time which may be of interest to some of you.
I was working in a government computer department, and doing shiftwork, days one week and evenings the next.
I was sitting at a VDU one night, and suddenly heard a large "whine" in my head. Past experience had taught me that this was a sign that some sort of communication was being made to me, but I could only discover what if I asked the right question and the only response would be an emotional one.
This day the whine wasw louder and longer in my head, although no-one else heard it. I tried asking questions about my family and other other people I knew but the level of emotion and sound remained the same. It was only when I asked if it was to do with our service people in the Falklands that things changed, and suddenly I was filled with grief, wantede to cry, and found it hard to control myse3lf.
My friend and colleague sitting next to me realised something was wrong and arranged for me to go to the staff room and rest. I told her and my shift lead what had happened, and it was only because it was clear I was truly upset that the shift leader didn't laugh in my face when I said, "Something has happened to our people in the Falklands, something dreadful, I feel only despair and grief".
After half an hour I was feeling well enough to return to work, although the knowledge that I was imagining things had got around the rest of the team.
This occurred at 6pm. The males in the team always went to the pub for the meal break whilst the females remained at the workplace eating prepared sandwiches and playing cards.
The men returned very quickly, far too early, and we women queried why they had come back so soon. Their faces were very serious. The shift leader said that they had heard the 9pm news and they told us about the two ships, the Sheffield and the Exeter, being bombed by Exocet missiles, burning furiously with a loss of life and serious injuries.
The 9pm news was the first news bulletin in Britain to give out this news, so how did I know at 6pm that something had happened?
I later learned that the government had been informed by microwave communications at around 6pm of the incident, so it is possible I picked up this signal somehow, but how could I have discerned what the message was when it was clear I did not get a precise message only an emotional response to my mental questioning.
Could it be that microwave communication works on a different level within our brains to what is normally accepted? Or was something else at work, some sort of invisible angel trying to give me a message?
Any thoughts on this would be welcome as 27 years later I am still not really sure what happened to me that night.

I have no answers to give. I only know that there's reason to believe in the reality of such communications. With what or how I cannot even begin to address it.
Since you coworkers knew about this incident, do you think that someone informed a higher authority about it? I mean, were you never addressed by a Ministry big shot who might have wanted to know more about how you managed to acquire that bit of insight?
PS: Could you describe the "whine" sound?

Hello
Thank you for your account. It does raise some very interesting questions
My personal opinion is that this could be a profound case of telepathy.
I tend to shy away from looking at things from the scientific angle such as the idea that you picked up on the microwave transmission; mainly becuase this sort of explaination has two problems with it. Firstly our brains dont seem to be wired to to able to pick up on microwaves, but also (secondly) even if they were they would not be wired to pick up the format in which such messages might be transmitted.
One of the common features which seem to accompany many accounts of telepathy is that it is driven by emotion rather than information. It doesnt seem to be so much as a way of "speaking" as transmtting a way of "feeling" and "expressing" - empathy would probably be a bettter word in fact but that seems to be used to express feeling in a less occult manner.
We see a classic example of a very emotional event being expressed telepathically in Star Wars. when Aldebraan was destroyed by the Death Star; Obi Wan Kenobi picked this up and expressed it as (to paraphase) "if a million voices cried out and were silenced". Whilst Star Wars is undoubtedly fiction; the account seems very similar to your own and very emotionally driven.
This doesnt explain all of the events you describe however and something more makes me wonder whether you have ever worked with (or suspected you might be able to work with) a spirit guide. I think that an exploration as to why these "tranmissions" reach you might be interesting. You suggest an angel; and of course that may be the answer but maybe it is something more personal.
Best Wishes

I too immediately associated your account with the Star Wars movie, but I preferred to omit it so it wouldn't seem as I was not taking seriously what you wrote.
But, as Paolo said, some of the premises found in fiction and art have some base in actual events. Specially this idea of a "binding" or "connection" between all living creatures, all partaking on the consciousness of the Universe, that might even create the Universe, if what some scientists say is true.

And sometimes visuals, a few clues. Airplane crashes, such as the Air France crash. Never enough to stop anything. Just the knowing is dreadful. I've had a building feeling of dread, and a panic these last few days. Maybe its just an emotional cloud around me (new girl at work is slightly nuts, she's not going to last). Hope so cause its gone to my gut. Big feeling of dread for these next couple of days.

A loud noise which no-one else can hear, but which is very loud to me. Someti8mes it affected one ear or it came from the base of the back of the skull,
I haven't heard it for some time, but it used to be quite strong when I was younger.
As for the Jedi link. I seem now to sometimes - not always - be able to quietly calm my mind, think of something, and a result can now be achieved. I am relying on the force to help me these days. But when this incident happened I didn't do that, and don't remember even seeing Star Wars at that time. It was much later that I watched the trilogy. I have not seen the later ones.

Hi Carol,
The number of times i have turned on the radio to find i was humming the same song i would not be at all surprised if we can tune into radio EM frequencies in one way or another. Since we can understand what is being played it sort of throws out the idea that we could never understand the context/content of a signal.
If the brain is capable of receiving radio EM and can apply pattern recognition to the signal (as seems to be indicated by the above) then that is pretty cool.
So we have some evidence we can detect and apply subconscious pattern recognition to radio EM. Our eyes obviously detect visible light so that is another part of the EM spectrum we are sensitive to.
Microwave frequencies lie between radio and visible light (also above infrared though).
This being the case we can already accept we are sensitive to frequencies above and below microwaves. I dont find it too much of a jump to imagine we might be sensitive to microwaves as well.
Interpreting anything in an emotional context is not too surprising either as emotions are one of the primary ways we react to the world. If for example you did become aware subconsciously that a terrible event had occurred an emotional response would be expected to this knowledge. If you did not become consciously aware of the event then all you would feel was the emotions.
So all in all this is quite amazing, but if we can pick up on radio EM, which we seem to be able to do well enough to sing the songs then the rest can logically follow from that.
Of course there is no way to know if that is what happened.

As usual Carol, I have a simpler theory. The message may have come from yourself.
The sorts of noises you report are described as tinnitus, which is a catch-all phrase for many things. What these things have in common is hearing unstructured noises that are not present. Whining, whistling, ringing, swishing, etc. Not voices that are not there, or birds that are not there, just unstructured stuff. I have this condition in a mild form, in my case it's pretty harmless, and due to noise damage.
There are many other reasons why this happens, one of them is emotions and stress.
Emotional stress happens not just in reaction to severe events, but (obviously) also in expectation of severe events. And in the case of expectation, the stress builds up the longer you wait for the even. Here is why this could have been the case:
Seeing that you (Carol) had a exposure to a lot of detail about the war, even just from press coverage, you may well have expected something bad to happen that day. Predicting a major event, based on clues rather than technical analysis, is also common.
What clues could you have had?
Well, the Argentinians had pretty decent airplanes. I'm sure you knew that at the time.
They had these Exocet anti-ship missiles, which work very well. You probably knew that too.
The British Navy might have been overly confident (they usually are). If they were, you might have picked that up, even just from the UK press and TV. And you may have thought that such overconfidence is risky.
So it was, at the time, perfectly reasonable to predict that something bad is going to happen. It was even reasonable to predict that a ship will be hit by one of those missiles, that's what they are for.
Was the communication you received from some other entity, or from yourself? It could easily be that you subconsciously (some people say instinctively) knew something big and negative was coming, and that it was about time that day. Tension builds up when we wait for bad news.
I remember that war, I was not particularly surprised that some ships were hit. Didn't predict anything in particular, but it seemed like something to expect.

I have only just read this post of yours. Although it has been up a few days.
Whinning in the ears......happens to me frequently. Well when I say frequently I mean 2 times a month maybe. Sometimes not for months. But I thought I was going deaf or mad years ago when it started. Neither has happened but I have been able to accociate these with events in my life that are life changing. I joke about it now when it happens,ie Alien implants and their recording or extracting information.I only joke about this cause I have an anomoly behind my right ear. This is the ear that usually go'es funny. Almost blanks out audiable noises around me.
I have, over the last 4 odd years stopped and felt how I feel when it happens. The emotion I feel when it happens gives me a clue as to what event it seems to relate to.
This may not help you much but the soul/spirit/astral body or even energy body, whatever people wish to call it, can only communicate with your physical mind/body through emotion. But, emotion is the best and most accurate, instant means of knowing what is going on around you.
I could talk about this for hours so I think what I have said so far is a good base to start with.
Everyone can experience this......you just need the software intalled to work the hardware in your head.

Have you checked this anomaly with a an X-ray or a doctor?

I have not been to a doctor for over nine years. X-Rays are something I try to avoid at all costs. I have had them though but not of my head.
It dosen't worry me but does get itchy on occasions. Playing indoor cricket once, I get hit very hard in that ear and broke some cartilidge but never went to the doctor about it. The anomally disappered for awhile then came back. Probably due to some inner swelling or something like that. When the sound starts it is very distinctly immediate and is loud to me. It stops just as abruptly and lasts no more then a few minutes.
Could be what earthling mentioned earlier, I don't know.
Must do some research me thinks.........

The whine is roo erratic for that, besides which I am also forced to sit or stand immobile for a time (almost a state of paralysis). I have also had this whine in one of my dreams and this dream had meaning for me.
Floppy1 I can understand how you feel, and believe this is something we both have shared.
As for the message coming from myself, I can understand why this is suggested, and as I have had thoughts which at first may appear to be mine but after much consideration suggest they may actually be from outside myself, I cannot say for sure.
Whatever the truth, there are means of sending messages to us by non-normal means, but unless it has happened to you it will not be believed and skepticism will abound.
