1642

Long-time visitors to my blog may be aware that I had a ‘pull’ to the early Seventeenth Century a few years ago, and in particular the year 1642.

For some reason, I felt as if I had a connection to this time period, only I could not find out how.

I embarked on a wondrous quest to find as many facts as I could about that time period… and along the way, I did. Also along the way, however, I never found the cause of the pull. I was hoping that some fact, however trivial, would add to the strange memory I had of me looking out to sea, watching three galleon-type ships either coming in or going out. A disembodied voice, in this memory of mine, mentioned the year 1642, which is what made me concentrate more on this period.

I have a feature page created for all of the 1642 facts I came across, which can be found in one of the menus above. I found the quest very interesting, and fun, even if along the way I was pulled up for the ‘inertia’ of it all. Well, it would be slow moving considering I didn’t want to rush the search – and in fact I had no intention of doing so anyway. The facts turned up when they did, and that was that.

I was planning on having a past life regression, just to see if that would shine any light on the situation… and I may still do so. I’m a little worried now though that the facts I have come across may have embedded themselves deep within this cavernous memory of mine, only to be uncovered once more when I’m under hypnosis. When I try to think of them now, without referring to my quest page, I turn up a resounding blank… with a very audible silent echo… Told you I had a cavernous memory.

We’ll see what happens there. The pull to 1642 seems to have dwindled somewhat nowadays, and I’m not seeing any references to the period at all now, where a couple of years ago I was seeing one or two a week.

Until today.

Well, I knew it was fast approaching, but I didn’t actually realise how much so. I checked in on my dashboard earlier, and noticed that my last post was my 1,642nd post. This one now is my 1,643rd. Back in the day, I dreamed of posting something spectacular to mark this milestone – in fact, the reveal as to what my pull actually was would have topped things off nicely – it would have been an all-singing all-dancing affair, with balloons and streamers and a buffet in the Library. Instead, I posted a photo of ducks racing.

I think that tells me something. Time to move on.

I’m drawing a line under the quest now. I’ll keep the page on the site – it has some fascinating facts (albeit somewhat hidden!), but how long can we really go on chasing dreams? Time to create a new dream now, I feel.

Time to go to The Next Level, as it were.

Universe: open those floodgates – I’m coming through!!!
