Beyonce's Birthday Is Giving Us Deja Vu!

Did you ever get the feeling that you may be experiencing something a second time around; that the situation you are currently in has already occurred? Maybe you’re experiencing déjà vu!

In the honor of Beyonce Knowles’ 25^th birthday (9/04), let’s explore déjà vu!   

What is déjà vu? It’s that weird feeling you get when you think you have already said that, done that, or saw that once before.  The Baha'i Faith explains it this way:

"Consider thy state when asleep. … Behold how the thing which thou hast seen in thy dream is, after a considerable lapse of time, fully realized. Had the world in which thou didst find thyself in thy dream been identical with the world in which thou livest, it would have been necessary for the event occurring in that dream to have transpired in this world at the very moment of its occurrence. Were it so, you yourself would have borne witness unto it. This being not the case, however, it must necessarily follow that the world in which thou livest is different and apart from that which thou hast experienced in thy dream. This latter world hath neither beginning nor end. … It would…be true to maintain that thy spirit, having transcended the limitations of sleep and having stripped itself of all earthly attachment, hath, by the act of God, been made to traverse a realm which lieth hidden in the innermost reality of this world."

            (Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 152)

Bottom line:  How can any of us really understand a phenomenon that has our souls "wandering" around at night in our sleep and experiencing the future? And then remembering it...sort of...when we experience it in real time...?

As we consider this strange phenomenon, let’s not forget the one who sings about it!  Beyonce Knowles turns 25 on September 4^th.  Pick up Beyonce’s new album “B-day” on September 4^th featuring her hit song “Déjà Vu” (with boyfriend Jay-Z on vocals)!
