Throughout my life, I have had times when I felt deep cosmic-type connections – quite honestly, they have not been with many people. One in particular has been with the moon. How appropriate the moon is reflecting such a lovely glow this weekend, while I am pondering connections. It feels as if it is calling out, smiling and telling me things will be ok. Perigee “Super Moon” on May 5-6, 2012
I feel this connection with the ocean, the sky, pretty much anything thing in nature. I have the same connection “feel” with words and numbers, of course numbers are all throughout nature so it seems a natural connection. I feel heard and understood by them. I am not sure if this is projection, but it has brought me comfort.
There have been times when I have felt connected to people. Certain people who crossed my path and I felt like I knew them, or we had some sort of understanding of each other. I have only had one time when I connected on multiple levels that felt unexplainably cosmic-like. It was a strange feeling – as if we were to never speak a word to each other everything was still understood. It felt as if they could read my thoughts – the deepest form of empathetic connection I have ever experienced.
I called them friend because I have no other word to describe it, but it is much more than friend. I could look them in the eyes with no pain, or have the feeling of being violated. Make sense? Again, I am not sure if it was projection on my part…but I don’t think so. If it were projection I find that odd that I would pick this person to start projecting on when I had not done that before… Too many questions I can’t think about this now.
I am thinking about connections because 1) I have felt disconnected lately. 2) My mind is racing about different forms of communication. 3) How our global connections are rapidly developing. This is an amazing time to be alive. There is so much information on one hand and still the ability to live in solitude on the other. We are now able to find connections to those who relate to us in a better way. We are able to experience so many different points of view. We are able to watch science and technology at a whim. These are days full of new inventions, ideas, philosophies, art, awesome changes right at our visual disposal.
Yet, we seem to be at a standstill in certain forms of creativity. It feels like it is missing something. It could be the feel of similar algorithms being pumped out losing vulnerability and authentic exposure. I don’t know! I find it all so intriguing. From a sociological point of view, it is fascinating to watch how people respond to the exponential changes happening in our world. I could go off into a rambling session here about robots, and privacy and such, but I will not. Personally, I am thankful for all of the changes going on I see it as a positive – it is a world I understand better.
For me it enhances my life experience. I just discovered that my one of my greatest fears of losing my teeth might not be an issue in a few years! Stem-Cell Dental Implants Grow New Teeth Right In Your Mouth Come on now that rocks! Did you know that “Statistics show that 70% of adults aged 35-44 years have lost at least one permanent tooth.” I cannot find the actual study(s) for this or the true source so I am not sure how accurate it is, but there is always a little truth in fabricated tales. 
I still have two baby teeth so I wonder what the stats are for adults losing their baby teeth. Hmm… My mind wanderings for the day. Happy Saturday!

Very interesting to hear about your feel of cosmic-connections! I love hearing insight from the minds of others who have such varying experiences like you have, and infact I have rarely heard of cosmic-relationships before, but you have intrigued a new interest within me! I would be very interested in hearing more about your experiences with your connections, and look forward to a supporting post. Thank you for posting!
Hi jennarosquist!
You know my “cosmic-connections” is rather a morphing of thoughts. I have not heard of cosmic-relationships, but I have read in the blogosphere about relationships defined as “Twin Souls” which I found quite intriguing myself. I forgot I had read about them, but now remember that I spent several months reading about the differences between “soul mate” and “twin soul” relationships. I like to filter through many different resources and keep an open mind. I do not recall all the resources I read though, but I am sure if you Google that you can filter through and get some good and clear information.
Personally, what I consider a cosmic connection is one where I feel completely safe. It is hard for me to articulate, but I feel like we are fused in some deep understanding that cannot be recreated in the same way, and may not be able to understand it. I do not feel like it has to necessarily have to be a romantic relationship, though the one person that I speak of was a romantic relationship. For me the relationship helped me feel connected to myself. I was not only able to feel connected to another person in all areas, but I was able to connect parts of myself that I had never been able to before.
I may have quite a different experience because I am an Asperger’s person, and I have had difficulty connecting to others as well as myself throughout my life. From what I have read though, many others who are Aspie’s and those who are not have had these similar experiences. For me when I connect to people it is like something from a different world because I have always felt like I do not belong. I have problems with sensory issues and I did not struggle with those things while I was that person. I had never experienced and have never experienced it again. In that light, it is my definition of cosmic-connection because the relationship made me feel safe and comfortable having a sense of unity with my world for the first time. From the tiniest atom, to the cosmos that stretch too far for us to image.
I am processing through connections so who knows what I will end up writing.
I hope I didn’t make my comment too long! I am a bit wordy sometimes.
Thank you for commenting!

Here is a link about Aspergers in case you are unaware. I am not too sure how many people have an understanding of it, so I thought I would share a link.

Hi Angel, thank you once again for your wonderful insight! I do have some background knowledge about Asperger’s and I checked out the link you shared as well, also the “twin souls” concept sounds interesting, so I am planning to research that soon as well:) I have had a question ignite in me though for you, I hope you don’t mind sharing an answer, but I was just wondering “When dreaming, do you feel the same limits on forming social-interactions as you do in “awake/reality time”? Also, have you felt the sense of your cosimic-connections within the dreaming state?” Studying Psychology, dreams have been a major interest of mine ever since I was a child, and I was just wondering if you could provide some insight, thank you again for posting!
Oh! Dreams! I love dreams!
I do not have the same limits.They are a free world for me. My dreams have always been intense and very detailed with all of my sensory processing escalated to great heights in them. I do have a sense of my cosmic-connections in my dream state as well. I feel emotions deeply in my dreams and have woken myself up from laughing hysterically or sobbing uncontrollably – at times, when that happened I couldn’t even remember the dream though.
I also have synesthesia and I believe this enhances my dream state greatly. At times it has felt as if what I was experiencing was reality, and waking from my dreams felt a little confusing. I have not experienced psychosis, but intense feeling of wondering “Did that really happen?” Ha ha ha
I have shared some of my dream stuff on here somewhere, and a little about my synesthesia. I have always been fascinated about dreams because mine have been so intense throughout my whole life. I have had extremely awesome ones and horrible nightmares. I used to have night terrors as well, but have only experienced maybe a little over a handful in my adult life.
I am a bit “passionate” about Psychology so feel free to ask me whatever…well within reason of course.
Are you going to start a blog discussing your studies? I would really enjoy reading it if you do!
Thanks for your interest!
Angel
It is so interesting to hear about your dream experiences, thank you for your insight! Have you heard of a technique called Lucid Dreaming? To me it sounds as if your experiences hold some of the characteristics of that technique and you would be a prime candidate to try and learn the technique! Once learned, Lucid Dreaming can indeed feel like reality and the dreamer can exert control over and bend their dreams to their will. I myself am not a Lucid Dreamer as of now, however throughout my studies I had experiemented with learning the technique and I indeed had some basic results fairly early within my trials that were much different from my usual dream experiences. I suggest you research into it if you are unfamiliar, as I feel you could have some results that would be truly outstanding and it can offer a person a type of security and happiness that is unachievable within real world limits. Also, even while trying to teach oneself to Lucid Dream, the regularity of the regular dream process usually increases as well, and nightmares can also become less frequent. Overall I find it a fascinating concept and wish I had more time to look into myself as of now, however as long as fate permits there is always the future!:) I believe in time I will contribute blog postings on my finds that I have stumbled upon so far in the field of Psychology and the dream world
I have read some on Lucid Dreams, but got side-tracked in other ares as I recall. I read about them when I was younger then, not too long ago one of my dreams triggered me to look it up again. However, I spent only a little time on them. Maybe I will go back… they could lead me down a trail of other grand connections!
So I went on an adventure. I found several of the resources I read, but honestly they do not settle that well with me in certain areas. My mind is geared toward more scientific evidence, however I do let myself wander into the unknown. What I had an issue with when reading many of the things I did, was the “mushy” type of stuff. I do not have a problem with it per-say it is hard to communicate… it seemed to lovey dovey and not enough concrete information. While I can appreciate that component of it – I was looking for more. I think that is the best I could phrase it. This could be my skeptic mind, I am not judging anyone’s journey it is my own feelings.
Anyway I found this link and thought you may find it interesting.
