What does this mean?

[NellGwyn]

Lately, I am noticing I seem to have mental pictures of numerous slashes on the palms of both my hands, I wonder what that could mean?  I know what someone have a stigmata means they might have seen God.  So I wonder what mine could mean?

It most likely means that you are thinking of cutting yourself for the pain, and looking for an excuse.  Please contact medical/psychological counseling immediately.

But I am wondering why this exact spot?  As opposed to maybe on my arms etc...

Seek attention NOW please!  Your life may be in danger.

No, my life is not in danger.  I am at peace and not harming myself in any way.

I'm not going to bother with this any further.

Given your history of thread topics here, I really have to question your mental state. And what makes you think a forum of atheists would think there was some spiritual meaning behind your...whatever this is?

if your not washing your hands with strong soap or chemicals, it could be a sign of a nutritional deficiency... or maybe you are coming down with arthritis. ;-)

Well, I guess we do get all sorts of people looking for help here.  After all, we are the rational ones, right?

You're having intrusive thoughts that may drive you toward self-harm. The thing about intrusive thoughts is that you don't  consciously generate them, giving the illusion that you're really at peace. Please seek help right away.

But after all, I did post my threads under the religion discussion.  So I am clear and mentally sound.

Please learn to mention the post you are referring to.  We can't read your mind.

Well, this is simply amazing!  We all know that Jesus was nailed to a cross--nailed through the palms.  You must be really getting in tune with your Lord and Master--you are becoming more Jesus-like!  What a wonderful marvel you are!  Personification of Jesus right here among us!  Glory, glory, glory.........................................!!!

Nell Gwyn

Eleanor "Nell" Gwyn (2 February 1650 – 14 November 1687; also spelled Gwynn, Gwynne) was a long-time mistress of King Charles II of England and Scotland. Called "pretty, witty Nell" by Samuel Pepys, she has been regarded as a living embodiment of the spirit of Restoration England and has come to be considered a folk heroine, with a story echoing the rags-to-royalty tale of Cinderella. She was the most famous Restoration actress and possessed a prodigious comic talent.[1] Gwyn had two sons by King Charles: Charles Beauclerk (1670–1726); and James Beauclerk (1671–1680). The surname of her sons is pronounced 'Bo-Clare'. Charles was created Earl of Burford and later Duke of St. Albans.

These mental obsessions can occur from time to time.  I don't know what yours mean.  I wouldn't have a clue.  I would ignore such thoughts rather than try and give meaning to them.  Maybe it does relate to something in your subconscious, which you could explore, but I don't know if you have the tools that would lead to any personal self discovery that would benefit you.  You can consider it a spiritual experience sent to you by Jesus, but that would put you on the crackpot side of emotional good health.  I would just let it go.  But you can do what you want.
