Mind Connection.-

Anyone here ever had a powerful mind connection with somebody? Those instances when despite having a great distance separate you -you are in tune to that persons?? feelings, or conversely, feel that person very close to you?

yes, sadly so.

but how would this closeness or in tune-ness manifest itself?

Sometimes in dreams. Other times in silence. A hazy pain of sorts in the lower part of my chest. Sometimes it's there and I don't even realize it, until I focus on it I start to realize that it's been there for a while, and if I "follow the string" of pain with my thoughts it can reveal all sorts of things.

It can be enlightening, in a way, but mainly I would, more often than not, rather get rid of it. It's happened to me with 3 people. All negative experiences.

Yes , i do...It's amazing at times and sometimes it scares me. But all very real.😉

Yes.

Do you suppose that beyond an actual mind connection it is merely an emotional imprint that people leave on you, which you then access long after that person is gone? Some sort of emotional "code", with things you might not even consciously acknowledge about that person in the begining, but which will nag you until acknowledged later on?

Or, if the connection is actual, how do you guys deal with it?

XV2, To me it's an actual connection, I actually wrote a thread about this a while ago, where I only felt this special connection with my family and my kids, never with anyone else, until I met this Virgo, Him and I have this very special bond connection where I can feel him but he can feel me even more.
At first it scared us both very much, I guess we have learned to deal with it as it comes, as time goes by it actually get's stronger.

I try not to think about it as a special kind of gift connection, I want to say that it's just a special bond shared by 2 intense people.

There is a lot to say about this when it comes to these special connections through us humans. I believe you have to be open to it..you just can't think it and have it..doesn't work that way.

Thank you for sharing.

In my case, I made a choice not to speak to this person anymore some months ago. Back in the time when we were in good terms, we would talk about it openly, because this person could feel it too. Now however, I would rather not feel it and it can be quite strong, to the point were I needed a few moments to regain my composure.

In a situation were communication is no longer an option, how do you make this go away?

I don't think it can ever really *go away*. It's a direct link, a pathway or gateway if you will. What you can do is cord things off mentally. Erect a wall of sorts. Even so at times your defenses will be battered at. I did this for quite some time. Shut things down and away. A strong link buzzing weaker as time went on like a cicada winding down in summer. The other end of this shining thread had a better idea and I'm so glad he did.
You've made the choice to be incommunicado for your own reasons, so build that fortress. Just be prepared for strong emotion or thought to infiltrate from time to time. Nature of the beast.

At times even though there is a link, that doesn't necessarily mean it's good for us on a deeper level. This is where free will and choice come in. You can be agog at the miracle, but that doesn't mean you want to drink at the font.

LOL Curiosity killed the cat..satisfaction brought it back, eh? 🙂

You can cut the chords that bind you two together. You have to choose to do it. Every time,fill your mind with something else. When you feel that this person is again entering your thoughts, when you realize it's happening, deliberately change your thought.

Sometimes I physically shake my head and say "No!" out loud when a thought seeps in. You have to want it though. Like all other successes, it must be worked on. Long hard road ahead.

I know what you are going through. It's not easy. Do not allow this person to control you through your thoughts.

Someone told me to imagine cutting the chords between you two, some go so far as call upon the Arch-Angel Michael, and pray to him to disconnect the feelings and attachment with his sharp sword. This way of thinking clashes with some of my beliefs, although I pictured cutting that connection, imagining a sharp pair of scissors, or a sword. It has eased it somewhat for me, I will admit.

I must say that I only partially agree with you lovely ladies if I may. I believe that this connection that you have XV2 is something that you try and run from, stop running, you cannot get away from it.

When this connection started you and XX were in talking terms, you shared what you experienced at times and that sense of encouragement was there between both of you. Once you and XX stopped talking that connection has not gone away just because you guys decided that you would not communicate to each other any longer. XX still feels you and you feel XX as well..The emotion gets stronger and stronger, You need a way to relief this or it can make you very mentally drained at times even not reasoning as to what you should do about this. You need to find a stress reliever that will work for you in this area...Believe me I'm fighting my own demons and I fully understand what you mean when you say you need a few moments to regain composure.
I know this really did not help other than to tell you what you already know.😢
I know of people that have this connection all through their lives...they live in different cities and still have the connection.
Mind boggling situation.

@ ladyscorp "When you had once spoken on good terms with this 'other', openly as individuals feeling the intensity, the bond, the unspoken thoughts and now the dynamic has changed, what would have caused/triggered it would you say? Timing, circumstances or.....?"

Our relationship was irregular, we only spent certain months out of the year together and many months far apart. Upon rejoining, we would discuss these sorts of things. At the time I would feel certain things regarding what she was going through, and fealt these things confirmed when she would write to me.
"Now if I may ask, why had you chosen not to speak to this person anymore? Was it too much for you to endure (tiring, wearing, draining etc.)?"

Unparalleled passion (in my life) made it feel exceedingly "safe" to open up emotionally, ignorant that in the future terrible secrets would surface -to which she still won't admit- that would drive an irreparable wedge between us. Perhaps my Venus in Aries prompted me to dive in too quickly, before having a clear view of what lay before me. In this sense, that shadow came to overlap the bond we had formed.

In having previously gone to great lengths to tie an unbreakably bond between us, I unwittingly condemend myself to burn in the shadows of the intensity we once shared together. While the logical step would be to be Alexandrian and untie this Gordian Knot of my own making with a sharp clean thrust, this road I??ve walked for the past 2 years has left it unfaded.
Perhaps it is as Nemesis says, and this is a case of mastering desires. I know now it was wrong of me to assume that only what was pure and genuine could withstand the intensity we had together. Perhaps this is what is meant when it is said that Saturn in Scorpio has a strong desire nature (my desire for her was certainly strong!), and that this is what needs to be purified/refined.

In any case, no brick wall or clearn thrust has afforded me any peace thus far. I need to try something else.-

Mmm I was thinking more like thick welded steel walls, covered in heavy forestry and ivy. Moat or other body of water optional. Brick is penetrable. The chinking subject to time and water. I always rather picture some ancient monolith, standing for centuries. Untouchable. Everyones mental imagery and ways to shore off and away are different though.
Failing such things the only thing left is to turn into it and embrace it. Absorb it and accept it for what it is. Not burying it or denying, just carrying it with you as one does. Make peace with it.

Hehe, yes, I need something like that.

Making peace with it in the traditional sense is not an option, I tried direct confrontation regarding the issues and got nothing more than evasion after evasion.

I??ll make it through, just have to keep on going I guess.

An unbreakable bond indeed

In answer to that I must say yes I have and am still trying to understand why this is and why it could be despite everything that has and will happen. I just wish he was here but am trying to get on with my life even though I know its futile to even do so, like how can I get on with my life without him in it? I feel sad when I really sit down and think of it but I will not anymore, it just makes me cry that I fucked it up so I tell myself to get on with my life and hope that things will work out b/w us. I have tried to get him to be with me but he shuns that so I really am at a loss as what to do? I think I must get on with my life by myself even though this is not what I truly want I have no choice but to. I have things to do and hope that once I am done with those things I will be able to be with him. It still doesnt make things any easier on how it is. Why this connection? I mean I never had it this strong before with anyone and its hard to live life when hes in my head and when I can feel him. Its hard to switch him off and really I dont want to and why should I anyway? Ok, its something I am currently dealing with and I dont how to properly. I would like him in my life by my side always yet everytime I seem to fuck things up and I dont want to do that yet it keeps happening. I guess I have to life with the fact he'll always be in my head and have to live with that somehow and still get on with my life.

I can understand your predicament quite well. But I suppose it comes down to: How did you fuck things up?

In my case, she made a couple of attempts to get back, but even then she wouldn't really admit to a lot of things, things which had cast a shadow over our relationship. Our feeling of intimacy was greater than what I had experienced with anyone before, but, the fact that she had concealed things placed that not only in question, but made it progressively harder for me to accept our situation as it was, it slowly but surely drove a wedge between us. So, yeah, she can try all she likes, and even though I??ve thus far wanted our connection back (very badly) I refuse to go back to that situation were important things will be concealed from me... I can't stand that!

So, until that connection fades it will be a source of torture for me. I am rather hoping it will fade sooner rather than later.-

Your story pulls at my heart.. it sounds very similar to what The Pisces I'm with went through with his ex Scorp.

There connection was strong, but she had a hard time handling it or even believing it was real. She did some things that could not be forgiven... and his feelings changed. Yet... he still hung on to the relationship because the idea, memory of such a bond was hard for him to break. Until it was over.

There is hope.. because when we met the connection was instant, and even though I had never experienced anything like it before... I wasn't afraid of it. Well, I was terrified but not scared enough to sabotage it or run away.. for too long. It gets stronger and deeper. He says he has so much to loose now, that he must be very careful and clear in the decisions he makes.

The Ex is still popping up and trying, but she was only a window that opened the path to a true doorway. I had a strong bond with one of my ex's... also a Scorpio.

It's not something we talk about with other people, lots of reasons why.. but maybe these past connections have just shown you that such things are possible... and you never know what is waiting around the corner.

I'm glad you found happiness. As for me I??d be satisfied enough to simply get some peace of mind regarding all this. 🙂

Yes, but it's one of those things that doesn't happen with me very often. To me, if you can connect with me mentally, then you can count on my loyalty.

Firstly, thought and feelings are two seperate things. A mind connection isn't a feeling, so you've conflated these two.

To answer the question appropriately, it has to be broken down into two.

Yes, I've had mind connections with people .... and yes, I've felt connections with people.

Secondly, what you've described here isn't a mind connection, it's rationalizing how you feel/felt based off of events you experienced. You are talking about feelings, not mind. Your feelings have sent a message to your mind for processing, indeed.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yeah, could be P Angel. I sometimes thought I might be deluding myself as the lines between each of the distinctions you made was sometimes blurred. In some instances though, there was a certain emotional state which suggested she was feeling X (it was different from time to time), and when she would write to me it was apparent that she was feeling exactly that. It seemed to be a certain sort of confirmation that was I felt was on track. But, yeah, maybe it was just coincidence, explained simply by the notion that our emotions were in tune with each other at that particular time.

@LadyScorp No, I??d definitely drink it down to the last drop. It cut too deep, I??d be happy to erase it entirely.

As for everything else, since posting here I have felt some relief, it is starting to fade into the background. I??ve felt better bit by bit these past two weeks. More so than I had in the past 2 years, so, thanks everybody for the kind comments.- 🙂

Hello LadyScorpP,
I appreciate that, though I've been around, but not really that active. Some of the posts here are beginning to be thought provoking to where I want to add my 2 cents. Yes, you're right, loyalty is an honorable trait. Being loyal is never a problem for me, but only if that connection is there.
