Any Explanation? Keep seeing familiar faces, only to find we've never met before...

Any Explanation? Keep seeing familiar faces, only to find we've never met before...
Until last night I didn't think much about this, but know I am more than stunned. If anyone here has had similar experiences, please respond.

Went to a housewarming party last night for my cousin.

Anyhow, while at the party, I recognized a number of people, YET, when I approached them to say hello, found that we had never met before.

During the course of four hours, this happenned at least a dozen times, although I stopped asking after six or so.

After I got home, I started to recall that over the past few months I have seen the faces of strangers in stores, while away on vacation, and on streets here in NYC that also have seemed familiar. A few times I have actually gone over to a few whose eye contact led me to believe that we HAD met in the past. With this in mind, I couldn't help but think that not persuing a 're-introduction' might be considered a shun...only to then find out that we had no common links that would have made our knowing each other possible.

Are any of you experiencing the same thing?

What explanation can there be to this phenomenon?

It seems bizarre, yet, somewhat 'natural'...if one takes into account some of the stuff we've been reading on threads here.

Of all of the people I have mistakenly said 'hello' to, only one person has ever seemed upset in any way; for some reason she seemed somewhat shocked, then quickly insisted that we had never met even before we could figure any commonalities (my cousin's coworker, last night.) THAT was really strange, as if I have frightened her. BTW, I am a pleasant, soft-spoken female, trim, neat and clean; there should have been no reason for her to seem upset. I am a person who makes eye contact with and smiles at anyone passing me on the street...just about always getting back a similar response.

Any ideas?


wtf

Read the celestine prophecy.

Says these are no mere coincidences, but these people we think we recognise, and make eye contact with, have a message for us of importance, and that we have one for them also.

Re: Any Explanation? Keep seeing familiar faces, only to find we've never met before...
the most far-out explanation that was given to me 30 years ago is that "there's only 7 or 8 people on the planet".

i thought it was absurd, but over the years kept cataloging faces and names and counting known duplicates...

there's definitely more than 7 or 8 core soul groups here, but nowhere near 7 billion people. lmao.

i'd say more like 100 people on earth, fragmented into 7 billion bodies.

but don't take my words... just watch and monitor your life experience.

oh and don't take it too harshly when someone identical to someone you know - tells you that they've never seen you before and never met you before. ...even when they have the same first name as your old friend.

Not as frequent as you describe, but have had simular experiences. You get used to it, write it off as DEJA VU.

sometimes poeple over think things, just go with the flow, LIFE or UNIVERSE is bringing something to your attention, it may take a try or two to get the message. Later you will recognize signs better and learn to read the message.

What youre experiencing is only expected when you live in a society with people youve lived with for a long time. Whether or not we all remember it, we have been here since the beginning. Theres a very good chance that when you see someone you coulda swore youve met before, you probably did. On a different plane!

Wow, this is new to me. Personally, I can't grasp onto this concept at the moment. This would mean that there exists only a finite number of personality types, differing only by the circumstances under which they live.

When I think of concepts such as karma and reincarnation, wouldn't this suggest it was possible that all of the narcisists that I know are, in actuality, are ONE SOUL, ONE BEING, running rampant on society, no matter where on earth? with none of them paying any mind to their common soul's progression.

I could continue on with my response, but that could take pages?

Still, this certainly gives me something to think about. Thanks!

Yet, tthe feeling has never been one of deja vu, at least not how I have YET to experience it.

At those times, there has always been that singular "Yikes!" moment when you are forced to take a step back to 'catch' the 'whym or 'what' that triggered it.

As far as something trying to get my attention, that seems spot on.

Another phenomenon that keeps happening is that I will be reading, speaking, thinking or writing a word or phrase at the same time it is spoken by someone on tv or in the room. I used to try to keep lists of these occurances--thinking they might contain messages of some sort-- but, I never follow through. So far today it has happened at least twice, sometimes days go by in between; now I wonder if I s/b more aware.

Life certainly gives us a lot to consider...

So true...I had quite forgotten this. When I was a child, my mom and her friends were deep into Edgar Cayce.

The thoughts that we choose our path, returning to the same soul group/family, has actually reverberated in my life quite often. A psychic once told me that my son was my father in a previous life, who had abandoned me; he had returned to now take care of me.

At the time, I thought she meant my pre-schooler, since she referred to my 'son with the leg problem,'--the younger had been suffering from growing pains.

Within a few weeks we almost lost my junior-highschooler to a blood clot in his left leg. As it turns out, he had a rare blood disorder, and was later diagnosed with learning disabilities. Now an adult, he is on SSI, and has grown into a very protective young man--almost like a father-- with quite a empathatic personality.

Today, though, I cannot see any correlation to these familiar faces I have encountered.

As for the strangers met in public, the kindred connection of familiar souls greeting each randomly has a heart-warming feeling, as we connect with smiles and knowing glances.

Yet, so many people at once last night, people I really never got a chance to get to know, and those I might never see again, seemed eeiry.

There has been a recurring theme in my life, where i've felt my true purpose is to 'connect' with people, if only to brighten their day with a smile.

And, I have longed to know my own guardian 'angel,' but have never actually felt one. As much as I will continue to carry on the dialogue, I never sense a presence...which has caused me fluctuations in my spiritual journey. Nothing 'low' or of 'abandonment'...just not what other's have purported to experience...as if I am not 'worthy' of such a presence, even though deep inside I sense something completely opposite... almost magnificient in nature. Quite a dicotomy, what one feels on different levels of perception.

That I AM filled with awe must mean something, because I am barely getting by...except for my soul. It seems that this is all that really matters.

I should be very worried, but I just keep on keeping on. I am physically trapped in a circular existence, but spiritually I am soaring.

Go figure.

Thanks for the reminder hf

Ha! I wish....alternative realities are more a dream these days.

Well, while a pretty significant car accident seems to have claimed a tiny bit of the ole' grey matter, it predates most of my life...most of this missing past seems to relate to one particular guy who has recently resurfaced with apologies for choosing the sowing of wild oats over me back when. Ha!

It's quite a bizarre story that winds up involving my sorely missed dead hubby, but as I've already gotten over this guy in the past, I'm kinda resistant to his renewed bout of attention...as charming as it seems. Anyway, i'm not so certain I need THIS particular knight in shining armour.... even considering the content of this thread's origins.

No, no sniffing etcetera seems to be relevant on this count......

Ha! Pavlov....kinda funny, and possibly more true than some would realize.

When I first registered for FB, it was the start-up alternative for MySpace, where you were supposed to use your real name as a basis for a more intelligent, mature method of social interaction. Within a few months a French Canadian cousin found me.

By the time my friends both near and far started using their minute to minute updates like twitter does now, I had started to wander away from the chatter. I just rather be absorbed here, reading much more vital and interesting info, then read that Jack just made chili, or, Roxanne is signing off to bring Electra to ballet class. Albiet, while it's nice to know which friend is performing where, and who's new album is being mastered, I prefer to talk directly about life events.

So-ooooo.... I doubt it's THAT FORM of subconscious facial recognition.

Well, I guess it's just probably one of those mysteries that find us all inter-related when all is said and done.

Maybe it wasn't about ME meeting them. Maybe it was about them meeting me. If so, I hope it proves to be a positive experience!

Thanks for posting.

This is what I've been hoping to hear. Has the experience led you to think in any particular direction?

A few days ago there were two posts asking if anyone had noticed the slip in time. The reason that I didn't respond was simply because by the time I saw the posts, I could not remember the day or time.

Did this happen to you?

Having fallen asleep I'm my comfy chair, when I woke up and saw the time, something seemed 'not right.' Since there was no reason for me to be alarmed, I just disregarded the event.

Missouri 1992, I believe, my brother was traveling to a job interview from NYC; said he was driving along when he noticed he was once again passing the same place he had been about 30 minutes earlier. Freaked him out, yet, led us to some very interesting conversations through the years.

Imagine if these are actual precursors to something coming down the road?!

Thanks for posting. I hope you return with more info!

Actually, I have deplorable facial recognition skills...it's been such an embarrassment, that's probably why I have learned to walk up to people who make eye contact, who seem very familiar. I have no problem recognizing people I've spoken to on a social basis...even if their name fails me.

The freaky point for me is that none of these more recent people check out. I work from home, rarely shop, take public transportation once or less a year.

Once we talk, I find nothing clicks: neighborhoods, schools, venues, hobbies.

The connection seems to be deeper than mere circumstance.

I think the explanation is simply that you see only characteristics of people that are familiar to you and your brain doesn't process the rest as something that you recognize. Of course people resemble someone you know, as your brain labels these similarities. Do people from other cultures seem familiar?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5070589


Interesting point, but it really seems to be their face, perhaps their eyes also. Sunday night as I walked in and scanned the room, I gathered that I recognized various people...all in various small groups, not having seen me yet...so 'the eyes' was not much a factor. As the night went on, I simply discovered that I was wrong.


As far as different cultures go, I seem to have an affinity to all cultures. When I was young, I had two career dreams: anthropology and archeology. Spent immesurable hours reading National Geographic, and history books. The world was my palette, so to speak.

As an adult, I feel a brotherhood to all mankind, no matter their faith or their position. I feel that I 'get' our world, through much of the background history of the various ages. If I were asked if any particular age allured me, i'd have to say that I can almost 'see' myself in many. I have the least knowledge of Eastern Asia, next Africa, south of the Sahara, but, I still have far to go.

Perhaps my love for people is materializing itself in a sense of the familiar. As Chauncey Gardener said: 'I like to watch,' although I mean this in quite a different way! Our world is fascinating.

Perhaps you are right, in that I am recognizing characteristics, perhaps of their soul.

Thanks for your comments. Everyone is giving me something to think about!

Another great response, thanks! I think this is akin to the explanation my brother would have posited, had he still been here for me to ask.

We spent many hours discussing alternate dimensions, although he wasn't too interested in the 2012 angle, having been quite ill the past few years. Another poster suggested that these were the times when such recognitions were coming into play, to paraphrase their comment.

Well, it seems that my thread has come to it's end.

I want to thank everyone who gave me their particlar insight. For some reason now, I feel as if this is more a gift, than a freaky mystery.

Re: Any Explanation? Keep seeing familiar faces, only to find we've never met before...
Until last night I didn't think much about this, but know I am more than stunned. If anyone here has had similar experiences, please respond.

Went to a housewarming party last night for my cousin.

Anyhow, while at the party, I recognized a number of people, YET, when I approached them to say hello, found that we had never met before.

During the course of four hours, this happenned at least a dozen times, although I stopped asking after six or so.

After I got home, I started to recall that over the past few months I have seen the faces of strangers in stores, while away on vacation, and on streets here in NYC that also have seemed familiar. A few times I have actually gone over to a few whose eye contact led me to believe that we HAD met in the past. With this in mind, I couldn't help but think that not persuing a 're-introduction' might be considered a shun...only to then find out that we had no common links that would have made our knowing each other possible.

Are any of you experiencing the same thing?

What explanation can there be to this phenomenon?

It seems bizarre, yet, somewhat 'natural'...if one takes into account some of the stuff we've been reading on threads here.

Of all of the people I have mistakenly said 'hello' to, only one person has ever seemed upset in any way; for some reason she seemed somewhat shocked, then quickly insisted that we had never met even before we could figure any commonalities (my cousin's coworker, last night.) THAT was really strange, as if I have frightened her. BTW, I am a pleasant, soft-spoken female, trim, neat and clean; there should have been no reason for her to seem upset. I am a person who makes eye contact with and smiles at anyone passing me on the street...just about always getting back a similar response.

Any ideas?
