Thank you OQ! I appreciate the positive feedback and the compliments. And thank you for the swastika explanation and link.

You've had some amazing experiences yourself. And no, I don't really meditate unless I have a particular urge, and then I meditate lying down so I can really relax (and true it sometimes turns into sleep). But if I feel an urge to meditate, it usually means I'm going to get some good information or meet a spirit to teach me something I need.

I think the consistent spirit experiences and lessons come from my intense curiosity and will to know more about myself and why I'm here. If I really want to know something, I ask by setting an intention and then expecting an answer will come - and so it does. Sometimes that night (or day), but usually within a few days. And then the more I ask and receive, the more it strengthens my belief that I will get what I ask for and prompts new questions. It creates a self-fulfilling cycle.
Thanks, OQueen!
