If by chance you hear people talking about such things as gut instinct. It's known by a few other terms.
Intuition
ESP
Second sight
Sixth Sense
Excitotoxicity
This aspect of life has only become stronger the more I heed it, the more I follow it. The more I have belief in myself, what I know. At times it's also reassuring to see concrete proof.
A little over a year ago, I was told some very painful, very distressing news.
It broke me.
Uncontrollable crying in public.
Sobbing alone in my bed.
Wanting to trust the one who told me though it devastated me.
Then, a more rational side of my psyche took over. From anyone or anything else, I would have verified sooner.
I wanted to trust.
Wanted to believe.
Wanted to think someone wouldn't lie to me about something so poignant. So relevant to my heart, my life.
Then, something occurred to me.
Although not all records are online or if they are, if the information is private or sensitive, one only has to ask.
The Veteran's Association is known for keeping records.
Far from perfect, though the records reach quite far back. Some records are from 100 years ago forward. Some records are more extensive. All of the records contain basic information.
Branch of the Military
Date of entry into military service.
Date of birth - DOB
Date of exit from service
Home of record
Place & date of death
So much more information is available when the social security is submitted. The thinking is, I surmise, if a person has a
SSAN - Social Security Number, it indicates that the requester has had a certain familiarity with the Military Veteran being searched for.
BINGO
Many people lie about so many things. Lying for different reasons or just out of habit, jus for the halibut.
It's part of my personal integrity to endeavor to be truthful.
Truth is about concrete basic facts
Honesty pertains to emotions
When someone lies to me, I trust then verify. The last time I was told such devastating information it knocked me off my axis. Threw me into a tailspin. Though I did believe the persons words at first, it nagged at me. Something felt like it was off, like I wasn't being told the truth or possibly only a half truth.
It spurred me to dig deeper.
Using a SSAN unlocked the records I was seeking. When the records appeared. I had the answer I was seeking.
Being lied to is unsettling. Uncovering concrete proof is liberating.
There are no actions I will take after seeing the truth. Just knowing the truth is enough for me. When I saw the concrete truth, it set off a slight quivering in my gut. It gave me simultaneous quivering in my gut while a sense of peace washed over me in waves. This was very recent, so, the sensations are fresh.
The gut quiver has softened; the feeling of peace prevails.
