Two Souls One Body

CONVERSATIONS WITH MARTIAN

Hello Beautiful World!

Earlier today in the afternoon I had a chance to spend some time with my good friend Martian at

Tempura Island. I had not seen him in two days and honestly, I was missing our chats. Martian is a very

wise man and our chats are always very deep and meaningful. We usually chat every day at Tempura

while we do Tai Chi. Today, our chat was just absolutely interesting as always with the exception

that today we touched a subject that honestly spooked the living hell from both of us.

Let me share with you now parts of our very long conversation...

Nothing Else Matters

Lori Novo: I live in a very big old house that used to be a small hospital

Lori Novo: they don't bother me

Lori Novo: so when I was 6 months old I got very sick

Lori Novo: and I actually died

Lori Novo: I was pronounced dead

Lori Novo: but then I opened my eyes again

martian (superengine): so do you think the first time you were born is the same soul

when you opened your eyes again

martian (superengine): or its a newer soul the second time

Lori Novo: oh, I never thought of that

Lori Novo: what would you say?

Lori Novo: what do u think?

martian (superengine): a newer soul i think.

martian (superengine): not sure what happened to the first soul

Lori Novo: omg Martian, I really never thought of that, wow

Lori Novo: omg that gives me chills

martian (superengine): maybe that first soul is your fairy god mother that protects

martian (superengine): not sure . its still there with you

martian (superengine): sure its the original owner of your body

Lori Novo: wow Martian, what you just said is so interesting

martian (superengine): it can get complex i think

martian (superengine): not sure if there is an answer

Lori Novo: you got me thinking now :P

martian (superengine): we dont know. yu were born with a soul.

martian (superengine): then you died.

martian (superengine): the soul left or stayed . we dont know

 martian (superengine): then you were born again

martian (superengine): a new soul entered

martian (superengine): we need to think. if you have two souls

Lori Novo: that is the question of the day

martian (superengine): lol. this is all messed up but good to know you have 

a back up soul somewhere

martian (superengine): have you ever felt like you are two people in one ?

Lori Novo: no, but sometimes I feel I get glimpses of a past life

Lori Novo: like something happens and for a split second I see myself in another place

Lori Novo: like very clearly

Lori Novo: and then I come back

martian (superengine): is it past life or current life.

martian (superengine): current life of the other soul

martian (superengine): we assume its from past. it may be its current.. 

you are experiencing the life of your first soul ?

martian (superengine): that means that first soul has found its way to another body

martian (superengine): probably very similar to yours

Lori Novo: this is something I never thought about

martian (superengine): its one explanation for your experiences

martian (superengine): you probably need to listen to your first soul. may be it needs something 

that the other person cant offer

martian (superengine): technically you are partly responsible for it too. that soul carries your signature

martian (superengine): lol. i think im going to get ghost dreams tonite.. thinking about all of this

martian (superengine): well i wasnt planning to ask these questions. it came naturally

Lori Novo: I am glad you did

martian (superengine): same here

martian (superengine): something interesting even i haven't thought about it before

martian (superengine): because of your second birth

Lori Novo: omg Martian, I am remembering something

Lori Novo: when I was a teen

Lori Novo: my mom and I visited one of her friends

Lori Novo: her friend had some guests staying with her at the time

Lori Novo: so I was sitting away from the older people

Lori Novo: and I noticed one of the ladies just staring at me

Lori Novo: to the point that I was feeling uncomfortable

Lori Novo: suddenly she stood up and came to me

Lori Novo: and set by my side and she begins to talk

Lori Novo: and then idk what she asked me, I can't remember

Lori Novo: but I told her I was the firstborn

Lori Novo: she said that I wasn't

Lori Novo: that there was someone before me

Lori Novo: and I kept telling her that no that I was the oldest

Lori Novo: but she insisted that my mother had another one before me

Lori Novo: what if she was referring to my other soul?

martian (superengine): omg.. thats crazy

Lori Novo: omg I have chills right now

Lori Novo: omg Martiann, plz don't be scared of me now

martian (superengine): haha no

martian (superengine): no no. im scaring myself now

martian (superengine): im sure there is some truth to what we discussed

 martian (superengine): i think the whole discussion is about bringing light to yourself

martian (superengine): light to your other life

martian (superengine): im not sure. if the other soul is your twin sister or its half of you

martian (superengine): not sure. a discussion like this usually has a purpose

Lori Novo: it is somehow scary, but very interesting and for some reason I am enjoying it

Lori Novo: even loving it

martian (superengine): yeah same here.. my scorpio side is enjoying the discussion..

and my leo side is like, dude.. its weird. stop it. its scary

Lori Novo: your leo side is telling you to run loool

martian (superengine): nah .. the cat is too curious to run...

“My dear,

Find what you love and let it kill you.

Let it drain you of your all.

Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.

Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.

For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, 

but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.

~ Falsely yours”

― Kinky Friedman

Angela Aguilar - La Llorona 

(HFC English Cover FULL Version Death Maiden ft. Liliia Kysil)

As a child, I was surrounded by those who spoke constantly about La Llorona (The Weeping Woman).

La Llorona / The Weeping Woman

Hola Beautifuls!

I lived in Mexico with my mother and grandmother in a small one-room house

right next to the woods. There was a wired fence that ran for miles and miles alongside the

neighborhood. On one side, were small-humbled houses, and on the other side the woods.

Now, there was a pile of rocks on the other side of the fence across our house. It was believed that

on some nights, the ghost of La Llorona would surface from underneath the rocks and would

walk our streets while she cried. Many claimed to have seen her or at least heard her cries.

For some reason, I never felt scared about what the grown-ups were saying about this ghost

even though all the other children were very fearful that you would rarely see them outside alone

 once it would get dark. The dark never stopped me. I was a brave little girl that even grown-ups

asked for my company when they needed to go out at night.

Now, I had reason to be fearful if I had chosen to be, but I never was.

I can honestly say that I had three encounters with the Llorona as a child. 

One time, my cousins were visiting us and one of them needed to go to the restroom.

Our restroom was outside far away from the house, so I accompany her so she wouldn't go alone.

When we got to the restroom and when I opened the door for her, there was a woman dressed 

all in white standing in there. Her head and face were covered in a

white veil. I shut the door close fast and turned to my cousin. At first, I thought I was the only one that

had seen her, but my cousin was already halfway to the house crying and screaming. For some reason,

I wanted to see if the woman was still there so I opened the door again but she was gone.

On another occasion, what I saw, more like found in an abandoned house in the woods, was a white

long dress that had blood in it. This happened while my mother had taken me and some of my friends to

gather blackberries in the woods and on our way back there was a really bad thunderstorm so we all

ran to the abandoned house. While we waited for the storm to pass, we were looking around and I

saw an old trunk and that's where I found the dress. I remember my mother screaming at me to drop the

dress when she saw me holding it up.

The third one was when I was already asleep one night and in my sleep, I could hear someone crying.

I woke up and I could hear very clearly a woman crying very loudly. But it sounded like when you

scream into an empty barrel, like echoing. She sounded so sad. I woke up my mother but she didn't

hear her, even though I was still hearing her. Her cries went on for a few minutes. After a while, they

started to fade away. The next morning my grandmother also said that she didn't hear her either. By the

afternoon there were rumors from other people that had heard the cries just like I did.

Next, I want to share this Youtube video of La Llorona haunted house at Universal Studios

in Hollywood. Enjoy!

Laurel's Nightmare 2022 ● Alien & Aliens

ROOM ELEVEN

My mommy always said there were no monsters - 

no real ones - 

but there are, aren't there?

-Newt

01 - Main Title - James Horner - Aliens

Welcome, this is

ALIEN

(Moderate)

If you are a fan of Alien movies, you are in for a real treat with this one.

Hello Beautiful World!

This new room is another one of my favorite ones together with The War Of The Worlds.

YES! I am a huge fan of all alien movies (1979, 1986, 1992, 1997, 2012, 2017), especially the ones

starting Ripley (Sigourney Weaver). She was so badass and I wanted to be just like her. I can

watch these films over and over again and never get tired. They are just that good!

Laurel's alien room has been so perfectly put together that you feel you are in the movie.

Now, for this one, it wasn't just one room but several that I went through to cover the subject. It was

maybe three or four rooms, I really didn't count them. I wonder if this group of rooms counts as one 

or if they each count individually.

This room has been the busiest I've seen when it comes to visitors.

While I was there people kept coming in groups, couples, and friends. I was the only one there alone.

One person even said to me that I was brave before he continued on to the next room.

Now gather around my beautifuls, it is sharing time. ;)

When we first moved to our home, we weren't used to living in a big place. Keep in mind that this new

house was used as a small clinic /hospital back in the 30s and also a residence for a doctor.

The house itself was very big already but with the years it seems they kept adding more rooms

to each side's corners. So to go to some rooms, you need to go through others in order to get there.

The first weeks when we moved in, we would actually get lost and had a hard time finding each other.

It was around the first month we had moved in, one day while I was preparing lunch in the kitchen

and my daughter was with me drawing some pictures with a crayon on the table, I heard my son scream,

he was close to three years old at the time. His screams sounded far away and I couldn't tell exactly

where they were coming from. 

"Mommy Mommy!!!" he kept screaming and it sounded as if he was either hurt or scared.

I kept running from room to room calling him until finally, I found him in the back part of the house in

the laundry room. He was standing in one corner while his eyes were locked on the opposite corner

from him. He was pale as a sheet of paper and seemed terrified. I looked to see what he was seeing but I didn't

see anything at all. I picked him up and he held on so tight to me hiding his small face on my chest.

He kept crying while his little body trembled uncontrollably. I went all the way to the front porch and

sat on a chair while I kept my arms around my baby and then begin to rub his back to calm him down.

He continued to cry and repeatedly kept saying "the boy, the boy".

After a while, still crying, he begin pointing to the church that is across the street and kept telling

me to take him. So I held his hand and my daughter's hand and begin to walk to the church

but the doors were locked so we couldn't go in. Fortunately, behind the church, is a beautiful garden

that is hidden from sight because it is surrounded by a very tall brick fence. Once we were there my son

begin to calm down and soon after he was playing around with his sister. After a while when I noticed

he was okay I called him and sat him on my legs and I softly asked him...

Who did you see in the laundry room?

A boy.

Was this boy big or small?

he was a little boy.

Did this little boy hurt you?

no.

Did he talk to you?

no.

What was the little boy doing?

looking at me.

Did this little boy look nice?

I don't know

and he then jumped off my legs and continued to play.

We returned minutes later and my son seemed to have forgotten about the little boy he saw

because he continued to play happily with his sister.

Later that night when my kids were already asleep I went to the laundry room to look

for the little boy but I didn't see him, still, I said some words loud and clear to him.

It was something like this...

"I don't know why you are still here, maybe this is your home but it is ours now too.

We can all live here together as long as you don't hurt my children or frighten them again."

My son never saw the little boy again.

Time to continue our journey to another mystery room, So excited to see what's on the other side.

But it'll have to wait til tomorrow.

Sweet dreams!!!

Lori Novo

Laurel's Nightmare 2022 ● Jaws

ROOM TEN

Jaws Theme Song

“There's nothing in the sea this fish would fear. Other fish run from bigger things. 

That's their instinct. But this fish doesn't run from anything. He doesn't fear.”

― Peter Benchley, Jaws

Hello Again!

While I am not at all a fan of swamp creatures, I am a huge one of the ocean ones.

Welcome, this is

JAWS

(Moderate)

 

Now, this is absolutely a great movie to watch. I for one like anything horror in the sea.

I've watched all four Jaw movies ( 1975, 1978, 1983, and 1987) and loved every single one of them. 

[Jaws Movie Facebook]

"This time it's personal."

-Jaws: The Revenge

I wish I had something to share with you about a scary experience in the ocean, but I have none.

However, I will share about a time when I visited my aunt Bea.

My aunt and her family lived away in the next town so I wouldn't visit her too often.

I had met one of her right next-door neighbors, a very friendly and sweet older lady that was in a

wheelchair. Every time I would visit my aunt, I would see her neighbor in her wheelchair sitting by a window

where she would always wave at me to say hi. Always with a beautiful smile.

So I had not seen my aunt in about a couple of months so on that Saturday I felt I owed her a visit.

When I arrived at my aunt's, I saw her neighbor as always, sitting in her wheelchair by the window. It

was drizzling so as I got out of my car, I waved at her as I hurried to my aunt's house.

I had a great time with my aunt, I helped her prepare dinner and then had a great time

having dinner with her and her family. After we finished eating we stayed at the table talking when she

suddenly says to me, "Oh did I tell you Marie passed away last Thursday?".

Now, Marie was her right-next neighbor, the lady in the wheelchair. I thought I had heard her wrong

since I had just seen her when I arrived. I asked my aunt what she had said and she told me how

her neighbor had gotten very sick and had died two days later in the hospital due to some complications.

I then told my aunt that I had just seen her neighbor waving hello to me and my aunt totally

freaked out.

When it was time to leave, as I was walking to my car, I turned to look at the neighbor's window to see

if I would see Marie again but the window was dark and she wasn't there. I never saw her again.

Rest in peace dear Marie.

Do you think we have time for another room? Let's see. ;)

Thanks For Reading!

Who Are You?

EXPLORING SECOND LIFE

Silence can be loud. Loud enough to hurt your ears. I hear this silence many times in my dreams.

But in a house where ghosts are trapped, the silence will be broken with fainted weeps in the walls.

I also hear those weeps, just not in my dreams, but when I am wide awake...

Sacred Ruins Of The Pastt

Who are you? She asked.

Who do you want me to be? He answered.

I can be the end to your suffering. But I can also be the start of it.

I can be the darkness in your nightmares. 

Or the reason your heart paralyzes with fear.

Tell me, who do you want me to be?

Welcome, this is

Le Manoir Hante 

(Moderate)

Sim Description

On the hill, hidden behind big trees an old manor appears. Abandoned at first sight,

but then you notice the voices of haunted souls...

Haunted, witches, Halloween, ghosts, spiders, graveyard.

Hello Beautiful World!

There are so many haunted places that I wish I can get to cover before the month is over 

but I need to be realistic and that is that I am running out of time. :(

But...

Does this place seem familiar to you?

It should, this is where Steppenwolf gave me a reading the other day,

you know, about the lovers I have.

Ha, now you do remember. ;)

That day, while I was exploring this location after Steppenwolf left, I was clicking on everything which 

is something I usually do when I am out exploring. That is the only way that sometimes I can discover

secret passages, animations, etc. So before, I used to tell my readers to click on everything every 

time I would share an Exploring Second Life post.

So as I was doing this, I started remembering my diva friend Juvie and I just 

started laughing and couldn't stop. The clicking reminded me of one time that Juvie listened

to my advice about "click on everything" and oh well, it didn't work too well for him.

He was so angry at me but I thought it was so funny and I couldn't stop laughing.

Juve: I was 2 minutes in that house and then that lol

Juve: I don t trust you now with your great places and you say yes you must sit and click everywhere

LOL, I still can't help but laugh. It was just so funny.

If you want to read the whole incident, you will find it HERE together with a picture Juvie took

of himself that day.

So I have been asked if nothing really scares me when it comes to haunted places,

both in Second Life and in real life. First, in Second Life no, NADA at all!

Now, in real life, I honestly am more afraid of a stranger breaking into my home, my ghosts

are harmless. I had people break into my home three times already.

The first time it happened I was terrified. The second time I was mostly annoyed

because what the hell, not again! Now, on the third time, I was furious and seriously ready to

beat up the intruder. Steppenwolf had to calm me down. but after the third time, Steppenwolf replaced

 all the door locks with really good ones and since then, I have felt very safe.

Who are you? She asked.

I am the darkness that follows you at night.

I am the cold that you feel when you turn around.

I am the hand that is taking you away.

I am inside you, hiding in your head.

Thanks For Reading!

Laurel's Nightmare 2022 ● The Blob & American Wolf

ROOMS SEVEN & EIGHT

Welcome, This is

THE BLOB

(Moderate)

 

PLOP PLOP PLOP, what you hear is the Blob coming your way. I bet it hit you

so unexpectedly without any warning, but what can I say, we start today with a special, two

rooms for the price of one. BOOOAHAHAHA :P

This movie has PLOP PLOP PLOPPED on our screens three times that I know of.

First back in 1958, then again in 1972, and as if it wasn't already enough, it returned for the third time 

in 1988 still hungry for more. There may be more sequels to this film that I may not know about.

I have seen all three movies already and for me, it is just an okay film. Not much of a fan of this one.

But for those of you that do like it, you can read more about it in The Strange History Of The Blob Movies.

Now leaving room seven and ready to enter the next one.

Are you ready?

Owoooooooo!

Is that my Steppenwolf calling?

Welcome, this is

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON

(Moderate)

An American Werewolf in London (1981) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers

And here again, we have another just an okay movie for me, sorry! :P

Still, both movies in this post I would watch again because they are part of every October's horror

movie marathon and I do not like to skip things when they are part of things that I like.

Today I'll be sharing something that has happened to me a few times this year,

where things just disappear and then will appear again days/weeks later.

For example, one day my reading glasses fell down to the floor by my desk and one of the lenses 

came off. I picked up the broken glasses but the lens that had fallen off was further down my desk 

and I couldn't reach it. I actually saw exactly where it had landed. So I went to get my son so he 

could help me get the lens. But when we got to my desk, the lens was no longer where I had seen it. It

had disappeared somehow. We looked and looked for it for a long time. My son even moved my desk 

and everything around it. But we couldn't find it anywhere so we gave up.

A few days later when I went to my desk to check my emails, I found the lens right next to my

keyboard. I went to my son's room to thank him for finding it but he said he wasn't the one who did.

We both looked at each other and then begin to laugh. We always laugh when unexplainable

 things like this happen. :P

Ahhhh, the sweet taste of fear, just like sugar and pepper but without the sugar, so just the pepper,

and lots of it. :P Let's move on to our next room. Ready or not, here we come!
