So you walk into a place which you have never been before, but you get the strange feeling you have been there before. The usual response would be to say Deja-Vu, but words fail to explain or define this strange phenomenon. Hopefully this article will shed some light on the subject as there are many ways in describing and categorizing Deja-Vu.

Defining Deja-Vu
Generally when you go to bed at night your body falls asleep, but your spirit or soul does not. In your sleep state your spirit goes to other planes of existence to explore and learn from. Now once in a while your mind perceives some of these locations and situations as dreams and when you awake, you don't give it a second thought to whether or not it was real. That's until you experience Deja-Vu.

A physical explanation would be that your mind is in conflict with itself, almost like your mind is rewriting a piece of memory with exactly the same information as before. But another way to look at it is that your mind is actually correlating a dream you had with actual reality.

A spiritual explanation would be that you are being reminded about many truths in life. Truths like there is more to life than just this physical world, that to get to that moment in time every decision you took was the correct one, as well many other truths.

I have from personal experience defined three types of Deja-Vu's as described below.

In the Moment Deja-Vu
By far the most strangest and thought provoking Deja-Vu one can experience. Here a person is witnessing a situation unfold physically for the very first time, but for the second time mentally and emotionally. You can look at this as Time-Travel of the soul.

Location Deja-Vu
Here one knows the basic layout of a location like a house or town although never actually being there before. Consider this a reminder of having a previous life as well as Karma.

Coincidental or Psychic Deja-Vu
Probably the most common Deja-Vu, although not being truly considered as one. Here in an awake state a person has an idea or even a vision of the future. This can be something like having the thought cross your mind of a movie you have not seen in ages, and in the days or weeks ahead you hear something about it or even get to see that movie. Here consider the possibility that you are able to will things into your life, for more clarity look into meditation.

Conclusion
You may have called Deja-Vu an anomaly of existence, rather look at Deja-Vu as life's road marks reminding you that there is more to life than just money. Remember every action (good or bad) has consequences, thus every action you have taken in the past leads you to your next Deja-Vu. Eventually, all your actions will lead to Enlightenment.

Wouldn't it be great to have a mirror that tells you everything about who and what you are, and a reminder of how perfect you are; the way you are? And how perfectly you have lived your life no matter what you personally think about it.
Have you ever felt as though your best is not good enough, as though you are at your wits end, and cannot go on a minute longer? Welcome to the human race. It seems that most of mankind has felt this way at one time or another. It is not uncommon to want to throw in the towel when you feel unappreciated, or as though all your hard work does not matter. Just think what Christ must have felt like as he took on so much to save mankind from total condemnation in hell.
I am not politically motivated nor do I have any interest in the candidates or their policies. However, I was on occasion drawn to the debates later on in the 2008 US presidential election. I had the opportunity to hear one or two of Obama's speeches. I agree with many, that the US election was a trans-world election. Because the US influence is felt throughout the world, what happens in their country affects all of us in some way.
A new beginning always comes after an ending. We are on the threshold of a new awareness in human evolution. All the periods we have gone through have brought us to this place in time. Currently we are experiencing the ending of religion and the industrial revolution. They have taken us as far as they can.
Did you watch the show "Short Circuit?" It was about a robot created for the military to seek and destroy. Something happened to the robot; some circuits shorted out and it became aware of its existence; it became sentient. The robot which was the 5th robot is a series, gave itself a name and declared throughout the movie that "Number Five is Alive."
The innumerable recorded cases of past life experiences are proof of the concept of life after death. In all the recorded cases of rebirth, it was found that there was a variable time lag between the death of the person and his next birth on Earth. So, where does the person go after his death till his rebirth on Earth?
There's no time like the present! Do you know how to live it? What does that mean? Most of us live inside our heads. We are thinking about the past or dreaming about the future. Rarely do we take time to fully appreciate the present moment. The present is all we have. The past is done and gone. The future is being written in the present. We spend our lives looking forward down the road to the destination. We only look up for a moment to see if we have “arrived”. Being full present will change your limiting beliefs.
