Okay, I'm a skeptic. Not a non-believer, per se. Just a skeptic. I often prefer to find a logical explanation for everything first. So, I'm not really comfortable with posting here, or even with bringing up the subject at all... Because I'm not yet completely sure that what I've been seeing might not be: "a case of indigestion, a bit of rotten potato", to paraphrase Scrooge.

But... For two nights now, I've been seeing orbs and tiny, diminutive "tinker-bell lights" in my room, in the darkest hours of night. My windows are boarded up, because I often sleep during the day (before working night shift) - so, there's no light coming through the windows. And these lights have been seen by someone else in the house, who lives with me, so I'm not hallucinating... (I confess, I screamed like a little girl, the first time I saw them and my spouse came running. )

Here's my question. I'm not sensing what the intentions of these visitors are, I'm not receiving any messages. Clearly they are here and I seem to know they are interested -- but I don't know why?... So, how do I find out what their intentions are and the reason for their visitation?

Could they be attracted by my new, daily puja-practice? During which I chant for humans, animals, nature spirits, and all beings that are sentient;


Sentient Beings are numberless, I vow to save them.
Delusions are inexhaustible, I vow to end them
Dharma Gates are numberless, I vow to master them.
The Buddha Way is unsurpassable, I vow to become it.

May all sentient beings have happiness and its' causes,
May all sentient beings be free of suffering and its' causes,
May all sentient beings never be separated from bliss without suffering,
May all sentient beings be in equanimity, free of bias, attachment and anger.



In any case, they don't seem harmful and after reading some of the other posts on this board, I believe I'll set out some milk and honey. :)

Actually, with all of the Christmas Eve and Christmas day festivities going on I didn't have the opportunity... So, I'm going to do it tonight. And most likely, for the next few nights. Stay tuned! :)

These tiny bright lights, did they sparkle or flicker or were they fairly static in appearance?

I'm by no means knowledgable about their nature, so the milk and honey idea is not one in which I'm well versed...but, much has been said about their mischieveous side...perhaps they're just being unpredictable (not acknowledging the milk and honey)?

My instinct is that you are definitely welcoming something with the mantra for sentient beings...enjoy the presence! ;)

I don't see them every night, but when I do see them; they remind me of fire-flies, lightning bugs. Only instead of a golden light, they are white.

The only thing I "intuit" about them is that they are nature spirits, connected with this land... Yeah, I think the mantra and more importantly, the sincerity that accompanies it, are what's bringing them around. And believe me, since I've gotten over being startled, I am enjoying their presence. :)

Thanks, One World!

Chiyo you never tell me anything! You having great stuff like this and not mentioning it, I am so Jealous :D

I'm sorry! Honestly, I didn't think about it.
I mean, I've been kinda puzzled about this; what is happening? Who is here, what do they want? I mean, I don't really know... If I knew what was happening, I most likely would have told you.

On the other hand, I did post this on Bnet, it's public knowledge. It's not like I was trying to keep a secret.

And it's not true that I never tell you anything, you're one of only 2 or 3 people on Bnet who knows what I look like. ;)

You silly goose.

honestly I wish I could help you, but I am a feeler, a sensitive and would have to be there feeling them (so to speak) to have an idea what is going on.

You being there and also being sensitive is your best chance. Listen to your intuition. you will figure it out, at least as much as they will allow.
I have seen little people, I mean little,  inches high, but not the lovely sparkly beings you are describing, so obviously different species all together.

And yes I am quite honoured to know what you look like, :)Thank you

Please keep me posted with anything they will allow you to say :D And enjoy it

Sorry to disappoint, Deavon, but I haven't seen or heard or felt anything in a long time. And I've never actually figured out what those lights were, much less what they wanted. I think they were nature spirits, but honestly, that's just a guess.




As a side note; if you ever see lights and no one else witnesses them with you? Get thyself to a physician, pronto! It can be high blood pressure or a neurological problem.
