Spirituality Vs Shoes

diabolicdame posted on Jun 14, 2009 | views: 297 | Tags: shoes, spirituality, Me, poll
I'm a big fan of the Brian Weiss books.. he's the guy that wrote 'Many Lives Many Masters'.. they're basically about re-incarnation and finding the same people..err.. souls.. in different lives and relating the experiences of your past lives to this one. Pretty cool.
 
I'm not quite decided on whether I believe completely or not.. but nonetheless its quite interesting to me. Plus I've kind of grown up with the concept re-incarnation based on karma being a part of my culture.. so no matter how scientific I get, a part of me wont quite forget it. I question it.. but still.. I remember it.
 
This brings me to my current situation. I happen to have found.. ok fine I googled.. a doctor close to my area who carries out Past Life Regression. This person has been trained by someone who's been trained by Brian Weiss himself apparently.. and I found a few news-paper articles on her.. and I mean I dont think she's a con-woman as such.
 
I kind of emailed her about my interest.. and she has replied with her available appointments and charges per session.
 
Basically its 1500 bucks for a 2 hour session. I'm talking in Indian currency so I think you cant quite understand that.. converting doesnt help because the whole value of money thing is different in different places. Lets just say that I could buy a very nice pair Nike sneakers.. that I VERY much need.. for about 2000 bucks (after discount).. ok there's a Nike sale going on.. they're half price off.. and Im dying for a pair.. I need it too.. I really do.. I'll need decent sneakers when I go for my masters!
 
So there's my dilemma!
 
On the one hand there is my spiritual beliefs and a chance to test them.. I really want to.. I mean this way I'll know once and for all if its real or crap! On the other hand is shoes. Real stuff I can touch and feel and need! My only doubt about going for this session is that I could use that money for shoes!!
 
Just to give you a clear picture.. I'd have to buy shoes anyway.. whether or not I go for the past life regression. But if I dont go for it.. I can put that money into shoes.. otherwise well.. I'd have to put other money into them.. and feel guilty that I spent 1500 on that past life regression therapy session. Or maybe I will have an astonishing experience at the session and wont regret the money or feel guilty about it. Maybe I'll find some great revelation. Who knows!
 
Anyway you get the idea.. so what should it be? Shoes or PLR session? Is it worth the money? Is it?
 
Please weigh in on this.. I will count the votes and that will be my decision. Thank you for the help very much!

    what a dilemma of the souls.....lol. i crack me up.

    tough choice.  depends on just how badly you need the new kicks.  i mean if you have a pair and can get by for a while then i say "you only live once" but if you have holes in the bottoms and toes sticking out the top then you better go for the shoes ;)

  • diabolicdame said on Jun 14, 2009....
    Hey frags.. well.. I do have a pair.. but its time to buy ones.. I'd have to buy them anyway by next month or so.. there's no way out.. then there is the past life curiosity.. come on give me a decisive vote! I dont want any power on this.. I'm too confused!
  • moonriver said on Jun 14, 2009....
    moon fu-tzu say:
    plr session good for the soul.
    nike shoes good for the sole.
    me sucker for nike sneakers. 
    get shoes now, plr session can wait.


  • diabolicdame said on Jun 14, 2009....
    Lol.. thanks moon.. ahh what wosdom in that little ryme!! The sole does need its share of attention.. vote counted!  :-D
  • lfbno7 said on Jun 14, 2009....
    Ask her what her least expensive service is. See if she can regress you to your 10th birthday party or something, cheap. See if she can hypnotize you at all. Don't waste a lot of money on PLR until you've done more basic things, which are hopefully a lot less expensive. If you find yourself just sitting in her chair and fidgeting, you're not going to get anything out of PLR. Maybe you can just tell her you'd like to do PLR but before you commit to paying that much, you need to know if you are hypnotizable and if you can regress to your childhood.
  • diabolicdame said on Jun 14, 2009....
    lfb.. thats very helpful actually.. you're right.. because I once had a friend try and hypnotise me and it didnt work at all!! So ya I think I'm going to do this.. I'll ask her if we can try the initial steps first and then take it forward if it works.. because I just might not be hypnotisable I think.. thanks!
  • Hegemone said on Jun 14, 2009....
    Hmmm, if this were up to me I'd probably go get the shoes.  That's more of an immediate, obvious, sure-fire need.  You can do the PLR session at a later date, right?  Maybe get the shoes now and then later on at some point do the session.  Beyond that, you don't really know what to expect from the session, you know you need the shoes and you know what you'll get out of them, I'd go with what I know.
  • diabolicdame said on Jun 14, 2009....
    Hege.. thats very well put!! "you don't really know what to expect from the session, you know you need the shoes and you know what you'll get out of them".. thats brilliant really! Thank you!!
  • travelr712 said on Jun 14, 2009....
    or maybe you'll buy the shoes and hate them and wish you'd have spent the money on the session. i've always found that if you regret spending money, it passes in a few days and you forget about it. but you never forget experiences and shoes are very useful.
  • diabolicdame said on Jun 14, 2009....
    trav.. so do you vote for shoes too? and dont worry I'll never hate any shoes I buy.. that's for sure! lol.. you know I'm starting to see this clearly.. what lfb said up there.. plr might not work on me at all! So unless she can convince me I'm hypnotisable.. shoes it is I think!
  • the_infernal_optimist said on Jun 14, 2009....
    I'd be more interested in the PLR myself, but I think lfbno's advice was sound.

  • Twylarants said on Jun 14, 2009....
    Shoes.  
  • travelr712 said on Jun 14, 2009....
    no, i vote for both and don't worry about the money dia. but since you've pretty much decided that shoes are the right thing for you, and you've cast much more doubt on the spiritual thing than shoes, i'd say go for the shoes.
  • diabolicdame said on Jun 14, 2009....
    infernal.. I'm really quite into it too but lfb's advice has made me see some sense.. I'm going to be careful about it, if I do it.. thanks for weighing in!
     
    twyla.. LOL.. yes thats very compelling actually.. hehehe.. that one word is so tempting!
     
    trav.. wow it does look like I'm slowly talking myself into going for the shoes, doesn it? lol.. I'm looking at everything through that lense.. lol.. but hey going for both is still an option.. I'm still quite interested in plr.. but now I really am a little in doubt of if it'll work on me.. see here I go again.. talking myself towards the shoes! lol.. :-D
  • RollingC said on Jun 14, 2009....
    Go for the shoes...LOL.....they will last longer than that session.  
    Also, you can take a hypnosis class (someone teaches that somewhere believe me or google it and find out how yourself) and part of the curriculum on learning how to hypnotize is going to be a regression class and there you can get regressed for free and maybe even you can get the certification to do those yourself and start charging for it (after you get experience).

  • travelr712 said on Jun 14, 2009....
    many good points here. i would also add that if you buy shoes, you know what you're getting. if you do the plr with this person, you have no idea what you're getting. with the plr, you may very well end up being disappointed, end up with nothing. with shoes, you assuredly won't be disappointed. seems like a pretty straight forward decision to me :-)
  • diabolicdame said on Jun 14, 2009....
    Rolling.. ahhh.. why didnt I think of this! I just googled it.. and guess what.. the same lady does wrokshops too! LOL.. I'm sure I can find more workshops and classes too.. and yes that way I'll probably get to see for myself what the whole deal is.. shoes sound so much more concrete! lol.. thanks!  :-)
     
    trav.. you know what its starting to seem pretty straight forward to me too now.. hehehe.. I can just see those beautiful shoes waiting for me on the shelves.. yes they never dissappoint.. prrrrecious!  lol.. :-D
  • beyondtheveil said on Jun 14, 2009....
    diabo- Amount of money you have is only limited by how much mom, dad, and boyfriend will chip in. Ask them for the shoe money and go get regressed. 
  • UnicornForm said on Jun 14, 2009....
    the soul can get you farther than shoes...besides thats what feet are for.
  • RollingC said on Jun 14, 2009....
    Heck, if I could find one of my old drinking buddies I'd go to the nearest bar with them and get myself regressed.

  • MsStar39 said on Jun 15, 2009....
    Definitely shoes.
  • scipio said on Jun 15, 2009....

    Shoes. You will get more mileage for your money.

  • diabolicdame said on Jun 15, 2009....
    btv.. lol.. thats so very true.. minus the bf part.. I'm totally paid for my parents.. lol.. indian kids are useless.. we dont earn a penny until we finish our educaiton entirely.. lol.. but thats the thing.. since dad pays for it all, I kinda feel guilty splurging, you know.. although he would not mind paying for this session, he's a Brian Weiss fan too! hehehe.. thanks!  :-)
     
    Unicorn.. another one for the soul.. thank you.. and yeah about time I tested my feet huh.. hehehe.. goes made feet but man made shoes.. lol..  :-D
     
    Rolling.. hahahahaha.. yeah well thats a good idea again.. lol.. after a couple of drinks.. it would be difficult not to get hypnotised! lol..  :-D
     
    bhalah.. thanks a lot for sharing that with me! Its good to hear from somebody who's actually been through the experience. Sounds to me like it was a profound experience.. maybe its worth it afterall, huh! You're right that one session is probably not enough but if I felt something strong like you did, I think I'd atleast learn a little about myself.. I really appreciate you sharing this.. you speak from experience and I value that.  :-)
     
    MsStar.. you know just the fact that I'm considering getting regressed instead of shoes is kind of significant to me.. because 'Definitely shoes' is my answer to most things in life!! lol.. thanks!  :-)
     
    scipio.. ahh.. spoken very logically.. they will give me more mileage alright.. atleast a couple of years as opposed to 2 hours of that session.. hmmmnn... thanks for being the voice of logic!  :-)
  • wolfafterurazz said on Jun 15, 2009....
    What kinda indian are you? Go see your witch doctor he or she will be alot cheaper and tell you to worry about your next life after your dead. Why waste time in your present life worring about your next life. My experience is most of these types of fortune tellers are completly bogus. Bye the shoes. ~WOLF~
  • destinydiva said on Jun 15, 2009....
     my vote goes on the soul!!  not sole :-) ...your feet can wait!!  can your curiosity?? :-)  xx

    ps I loved reading this!!
  • alabamagirl said on Jun 15, 2009....
    Needs - Shoes

    Wants - PLR

    I would go with shoes.
  • diabolicdame said on Jun 15, 2009....
    wolf.. LOL.. I'm a city dweller kind of Indian that has completely lost touch with all the great indian witch doctors! hahaha.. its a pity really.. that actually would've been much cheaper.. sure there wouldnt be a fancy 'clinic' but who needs that anyway! Yes I'm starting to see the consensus is mainly towards the shoes.. definitely a more sure shot buy, huh! Thanks!  :-)
     
    des.. yes its curiosity that keeps raising its head, you know! Its like.. 'Oh what if I find something.. I wanna see what the experience is like.. etc etc'.. so many questions. This reminds of a completely irrelevant saying.. 'curiosity kills the cat'.. I never understood what the hell that means! Seriously! lol.. anyway I'm not a cat so its ok.. hehe.. glad you enjoyed it.. thanks!  :-)
     
    alabamagirl.. ahh.. thats very objectively put.. good thinking.. needs should trump wants huh.. thats just common sense! Thanks!  :-)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jun 15, 2009....
    PLR for sure.  I mean I get the shoe thing, but experiences you keep for a lifetime, shoes only until they wear out or become "uncool"
  • diabolicdame said on Jun 15, 2009....
    uni.. lol about the uncool.. kinda true actually.. hehehe.. one more for PLR.. I will always wonder how it would have gone if I dont do it.. hmmnn.. thanks!
  • travelr712 said on Jun 15, 2009....

    entire etomoligy here

    The earliest known printed reference to the actual phrase occurred in The Washington Post on 4 March 1916 (page 6):

    “ CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT.


    Four Departments of New York City Government Summoned to Rescue Feline.

    From the New York World.

    Curiosity, as you may recall—

    On the fifth floor of the apartment house at 203 West 130th street lives Miss Mable Godfrey. When she came to the house about seven months ago she brought Blackie, a cat of several years' experience of life.

    The cat seldom left the apartment. He was a hearth cat, not a fence cat, and did not dearly love to sing. In other respects he was normal and hence curious.

    Last Tuesday afternoon when Miss Godfrey was out Blackie skipped into the grate fireplace in a rear room. He had done this many times before. But he had not climbed up the flue to the chimney. This he did Tuesday. Blackie there remained, perched on the top of the screen separating the apartment flue from the main chimney, crying for assistance. Miss Godfrey, returning, tried to induce her pet to come down. If you are experienced in felinity, you know that Blackie didn't come down.

    On Wednesday the cat, curiosity unsatisfied, tried to climb higher—and fell to the first floor. His cries could still be heard by Miss Godfrey; who, to effect Blackie's rescue, communicated with the following departments:
    1. Police department.
    2. Fire department.
    3. Health department.
    4. Building department.
    5. Washington Heights court.

    Among them they lowered a rope to Blackie. But it availed neither the cat nor them anything.
    Thursday morning, just before noon, a plumber opened the rear wall back of the chimney. Blackie was taken out. His fall had injured his back. Ten minutes later Blackie died.

    Wow.. you did all this research for me.. thanks trav.. how nice of you! And now I finally know that curiosity did really kill a cat and thats how it all began.. who would've thought! lol.. I thought it was one of those strange things people say.. hehehe.. thanks again!  :-)
  • lfbno7 said on Jun 15, 2009....
    sit down, lean back, relax, relax, relax. don't even listen to my voice. just relax. ignore that wasp on your nose. ignore that feeling in your lower back that tells you to keep moving it around. just sit there and be still dammit! i mean relax, relax, relax.

    as i count to ten you will go into a deeper and deeper level of relaxation. one ..... two ..... six ..... eleven ...... four ...... TEN!!!!!!!! oh sorry for waking you up, i got a little excited when i got to ten. let's start again. one ..... shhhh ...... go sleep baby ...... four ...... there ya go....

    now i am speaking directly to your subconscious mind. you are walking down a flight of steps. you go down lower, lower, lower, down the steps. you come to a door. it has a handle. describe the handle for me.

    well?

    hey, bubblehead, i said to describe the fucken door handle for me. wake up! wake up!
