Sudden Compulsion To Reconnect To Those Of One's Past
I've noticed a rather obvious trend with myself lately. I keep having this compulsion to try to find people that I knew in earlier stages of my life. These could be people that I barely knew all that well or actually knew pretty well. There doesn't seem to be a difference in how well that I knew them, only that I'm trying to reconnect with them.
Here are a few pretty recent examples:
1) Recently friended 2 peers that I was in the Army with.
2) Have been trying to locate a brother/sister pair that I knew when I was 4-5 years old who moved away to the Pacific Northwest. I always remembered this and sometimes wonder if it led me to my own settling down in this location.
3) Just last night came across a friend who I had lost contact with 5 years ago on facebook.
4) Last night I started searching for a couple that I knew from when I went to church in SC. I came across "her" and sent an email(no facebook) just saying hi and that I was thinking about them. I received an email reply back this morning with the following reply that completely blows me away and really makes me wonder if this is just coincidental in my searching for these people:
Hey Bobby! Strangely I was thinking of you in the last month. We were watching those Wild Alaska shows on Discovery Channel and I remembered when you took a trip up there.
Now, I knew them all the way back in '84 when I made this trip and really haven't thought about them or heard from them since. I was completely blown away that she would even remember me much less that she remembered such a trip that I had made so long ago!
5) Been looking for another acquaintence I knew from my church days back in '91. Didn't locate him but from another facebook friend I did find out in what state he currently resides and that he is a pastor now.
The list goes on but I think you get the picture. I'm curious if anyone else suddenly found themselves doing this at some point in their own life. Is it related to a certain phase or stage of the 4th IM? I was taking another look at the description of the 6th Stage of Magnetization and wondered if it had anything to do with that?

Hmmm, maybe pulling in threads from some of the parallels set to converge over the next week?

Here is an astrologic explanation for your "sudden compulsion" to connect with the past:
You are a Scorpio, a sun sign strongly ruled by Mars. Mars went retrograde on Jan 23 until April 13, 2012:
"Retrogrades often bring us "back" to things from the past--back to certain people, places, and situations. Perhaps this "going back" allows us to complete some karmic loop--tying up loose ends, completing unfinished business. More often, however, these retrograde cycles (especially among the inner or "personal" planets) redirect our attention to a specific area of our lives, so that we can make some adjustments and improvements--which, once the planet goes direct, we are able to implement and make use of.
Normally, we are not conscious of why we feel compelled to do this or that--but while Mars is retrograde, we are provided an opportunity to go more inward and to allow ourselves time to stop and access the deeper motivations for why we do what we do. A specific understanding of what is being reinforced will come through an analysis of the house position(s) that Mars will retrograde through in the natal horoscope, or birth chart."

Thanks for writing this Bobby! You're giving me courage to reach past my indecision (second-guessing is a bugger!)
I've been having a strong compulsion to get in touch with an old "boyfriend" - from grade school of all things - but I am resisting it. I've dismissed this urge as "just" some need to reconnect with my own innocence - but was confused as to "why" this keeps coming up - to my attention. I mean - a connection from grade-school - how "significant" could that be?
So -- I just went now and talked it through with my husband and he said "go for it" -- follow your urge (he IS in Passion Mode - LOL). I have already looked up "Bobby" -- yes - his name was Bobby in grade school - so I am pretty sure it would just take one phone call. BTW: I'm somewhere at the beginning of my 5th IM.

I have done this too Bobby.
Though in my case many times after discussions with the people from the past I remembered WHY I hadn't talked to them in 20 years.
I wonder if this related to IM work as well. Micheal stated I was about mid-4th IM. And I have noticed that I have been cutting people from my past out of my current and probably future life. The reasons vary. But it seems to have something to do with excising wounds that will not heal with them in it.
Anyway, just some random thoughts on it.

Christian, I've asked Michael in the past about two people that were once very close friends of mine. One fell away probably as I was working through the 3rd IM, and the other I'd say was the same thing during the 4th IM.
3rd IM person:
FROM MICHAEL: This relationship simply ran its course and found completion. Part of what drew you together was also what generated the rift toward completion, and that was the draw of "us vs them." It appears that much bonding was done through generating a clear and distinct line between your world and the world of those around you. This method of bonding can often lead to that same line being drawn between you, which is what appears to have happened in your case. Once that line was drawn in any way between you, the point of the relationship was lost. For both of you, this was a "good thing," at the time, and one that launched you into a new direction that began to emphasize just how distinctly you have drawn this line between you and the world. This line is one that you appear to now seek to transform.
4th IM person:
FROM MICHAEL: There are some relationships that simply cannot be sustained as one moves forward along a desired path, especially if the path is one of awakening while another's path is of remaining asleep. We think that you simply knew you would not be capable of "waking up" if that relationship had remained a priority. In short, this was as natural and as graceful a parting of ways as was possible. The fragment in question appears not to have changed much in terms wakefulness, though we have only vague access to his records. We think this is part of why you may feel little concern, because built into the dynamic with the fragment in question was a kind of inevitable pattern leading toward disappointment or hurt of some sort. Parting on your own graceful terms allowed for a much healthier parting than to have gambled with your own heart. We share this with you, not to make you feel better, but because you asked, and this is what we see.

So then it would seem the short answer would be yes, sometimes. Oth
So it would then follow that if the 5th IM is all about "playing" with the life....then maybe re-connection could be with those who were or seemed to have the highest potential for "fun".
Again just speculating.

Wow.... another one(involving #1) I was looking for but this time she found me. Oh and the absolutely amazing thing? She is connected with the male Server mentioned HERE.
Um, spooky.... some TV show that I never watch comes on as I typed this called The Locator?

Update from Feb.1 : I did call my old friend "Bobby" who is now called Bob (of course!) a couple of weeks ago. Had a grand old time getting back in touch with him and he has called since to "continue" the chat. It's really interesting (for me anyway!) getting my brain caught up from the past to the present.
Something that may be odd (?) -- I would find myself thinking about him -- out of the blue -- maybe once a month for years -- hence why I wanted to get in touch. I found out that he thinks about me -- once a month -- as he drives by a contruction company - on his regular route to Toronto - that happens to have the same name as my brother. I mean -- is this a coincidence? I think not!

Maureen, I find it extremely interesting that things like this happen. And no, I do not think they are a coincidence :-) I'm glad you had your reunion. You never know what sort of friend you may find when you risk an encounter such as this.

I could be totally wrong on this but I think I got a glimpse today of why or how this is playing out. Facebook has come in handy for reconnecting because it just makes it all so easy. But in doing so, you also get the chance to see where a reconnection is in their life. You readily get to see how many children they have, what sort of house they have, what sort of job they have and the successes they have managed for themselves, and also what sort of money they make based upon all of these successes.
I think this has turned into a 4th IM exercise for me. With all that I am learning as far as where others are in their lives that I'm reconnecting with, am I still ok with what I consider success in my own life even if it doesn't correlate to their successes?
So far, so good though. Awakening IS a success and damn hard to come by at that.
