“Imaginary Friend” or “Visit from the other side?”

 I remember that I had an imaginary friend called ‘Augustin’ who I would play with all the time as a child.

Then, as my first born, my daughter started to talk about a girl friend who was always around her, I realized that she had an ‘imaginary playmate’ like I did.

Her friend didn’t really have a name. She just called her ‘girl friend’. And whenever Nathalie was in trouble, she blamed ‘girl friend’ for it and she would point to where she just saw her in that moment. Sometimes she would be sitting in a tree, sometimes she would see her in the clouds or just right next to her.

I always played along because I knew how real it was for Nathalie, remembering myself sitting under the table playing with Augustin in my own childhood days.

Call it, ‘Intuition’, ‘Knowing’, ‘Fantasy’, ‘Imagination’, ‘Tapping into your Consciousness’ or simply ‘Being Connected’…….

What or who are these friends anyway?

They do say that children are still very much connected with the other dimension where they just came from, so maybe it is an interaction with the ‘other side’? – A connection with someone dear to us who we used to hang out with there, a connection that is slowly fading away as we grow older in this realm.

Or is it simply our imagination that goes haywire? Are we so creative and imaginative when we first come into this plane? – A creativeness that comes to almost a standstill as soon as we follow the path of our conditioning through ‘fitting into society’ where we have to behave a certain way, sit still at school, don’t talk during class, don’t play with other’s toys etc.

What is it?
