Steve, I am aware of what happened that is why I bumped this thread questioning if what I experienced was a type of premonition? I could not explain why I felt so sad about Hawaii when I made that post.
Just want to notate that I do not claim what I experienced was a premonition- but I asked aloud as a potential reality. I also believe we can not accurately asses another's suffering. I believe we can sympathize, we can feel something- but I think the extent of suffering is unique. And I think if we were to feel *everything* then we would surely be dead. So I wonder why only certain clairvoyant experiences even happen? Maybe this wasn't a precognitive experience. If it were, then I can only speculate maybe some premonitions are experienced because of a link we share with the person or place.
I have heard there are different energy centers all over the world and Hawaii is one of them. Something like Sedona, AZ. I have also had personal experiences where my OBE's seem to gravitate to someone who I thought was Filipino but could easily be Hawaiian. Maybe a past life connection? At one point I speculated this person to be an (unaware) spiritual anchor for these kind of unexplainable occurrences.
