Here are just some of the historic battlefields in the gorgeous state of Georgia.
CIVIL WAR -
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park
Pickett's Mill Battlefield State Historic Site
Allatoona Pass Battlefield
REVOLUTIONARY WAR -
Kettle Creek Battlefield
The Battle of the Rice Boats
Brier Creek Battlefield
Sieges at Augusta
The Georgia Battlefields Association does a brilliant job of preserving the history for generations to discover.
Consider visiting these landmarks. Treat them with somber reverence for Americans who fought North or South for what they believed was their infringed upon rights. One way to connect with national pride is to give thanks to those who fought for and built for this fine country.
Pickett's Mill Battlefield State Historic Site is one of the best preserved battlefields in America. Open 9 am to 5 pm seven days a week, it offers 4 miles of hiking trails. The stand made here gave the Confederates one week delay for North to head South.
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park
800 feet high and 2 miles long. Closes at 8:30 p.m. With 18 miles of hiking/biking trails, this one is big! The Battle of Kennesaw Mountain was one of the more significant clashes of the Atlanta Campaign, with 'one last mountain' standing between William Sherman and Atlanta.
Allatoona Pass Battlefield
Open until 8 p.m. There are plenty of walking trails and history to learn about. Following the fall of Atlanta, a major battle occurred here. The well-preserved earthworks and trenches are still there.
History lingers in the most haunting way. We feel the weight of it in the air, the eyes upon us, the saturated sorrow. It is a time for reflection and respect.
As you venture out, you may experience some physical reactions, but there are also psychic impressions that most folks dismiss or do not focus upon. I will describe a bit below about the sensations and the psychic imagery.
Physical Reactions to Spirit Energy:
Goosebumps - hair on the body standing on end. This is usually a reaction to change in temperature and triggering of the flight or fight mechanism. It's kept us safe from predators. Some say, we get piloerection due to the hair standing out to appear larger to a threat. In the case of spirit energy, we are picking up a frequency flow through the environment that is making us alert.
scalp tingles - this is truly a weird sensation. Most folks, when they experience this want to run. The threat is heightened. It's like being stroked by the creepy fingers of death. Your body is not just sensing spirit energy, it's making contact. The hardest part for most folks that don't read such energies, is the desire to run and hide because it is interpreted as evil or possession. It's a brief moment of tingle, but it should put you into a state of exalted wonder. You just felt the other side, whatever the other side may be, whether ghosts are truly souls or an interdimensional being is sharing our space. Whether by intention or accident, this brief collision is a gift. It says that our human bodies were actually built with systems to remind us of other worlds.
feelings of being watched - this is probably the most universal symptom. Some say it's a reaction to infrasounds (sounds below the level of human hearing) that the body can read. If you've ever had someone drive by in a car with the bass on the radio jacked up, you felt the thumping in your chest. There was a study of Eastern State Penetentiary where they found rain hitting the spokes of the jail cell halls created infrasound that ran down the hallways. This could create viewing of "shadow people" or a sense of being watched.
shadow people - There are plenty of theories on what shadow people are, but I will be going into my own detailed hypothesis in coming months. They are often seen in parks, cemeteries, and places like battlefields. Do not be surprised if you do witness one.
inner silent pull - This one sounds odd, but here's how it goes. At times, when you quiet all the to-do list in your mind and the millions of questions about the history of the location, you simply view it with a blank mind, as if you are archiving a place on earth, you will find your eyes going back to a certain spot. There's nothing necessarily there in the physical world that distracts you, but your mind keeps creeping back to that spot. Stop and stare in that direction and open your mind, empty it of concerns, simply invite in anything available to learn. You might see an image in your mind, feel a sensation, imagine a word or name, smell a scent, feel deja vu.
The hardest task when doing a psychic read is to ignore the ego. The ego questions input, has a strong desire to be right or perfect about the interpretation. The psychic mind wants to spit out words, images, feelings, and then make sense of it without trying to make it fit into a mold. Suppose you are on a battlefield and see a person in a car in your mind. Maybe you get enough glimpses to see it's a car from the 1930s or 40s. You imagine the drive has done the drive many times. Well, you're on a battlefield and the expectations are that you will hone in on the Civil War. But, there are layers of history there. The psychic mind goes with it, the ego discards it.
The state of receiving information is rather like suspended animation. You stare off, you are open. Thoughts, images, and "knowing" seem to just flow through you. Ideally, turn on your audio recorder on your phone and just spit out everything without trying to put the pieces together. "smoke or fog, a voice repeating a word, I see the word 'doggy' repeatedly. Someone has a stomach illness or wound."
The longer you remain open and nonjudgmental, the more information you receive. Don't try to form it or control it into a narrative your imagination might fancy. Let it be what it is - raw, abstract, fleeting.
Also, know that battlefields aren't the only places where human bodies are tormented and souls respond and leave an imprint. They are the places where fight of flight were activated strongly, where souls escaped their host forms, and where other living folks today with souls attached, can sense that presence.
Be respectful. Say a prayer. Give thanks.
