    In my early 30s I noticed that there seemed to be significant echoes back to some of my little poetic works. I wasn't looking for or expecting them, and other people noticed them as well. That pretty much shut me down as a poet. Too much responsibility.

    Of course that experience helped me to see that other poets, musicians and other creative people must have had similar synchronistic experiences or echoes back from the One behind the scenes.

    Occurrences and interpretations. We are lucky to have them, are we not?

    Can you say that again in laymans terms?

    What are these occurrences and interpretations?

    What does that mean? And why might we be lucky to have them?

    Wrote some poetry in college, tried but failed to publish it in his 30s and now regrets giving up on his dream when observing others who went on to achieve theirs. Blames god when the demons come and exercises them here on his detractors, usually FMF, ghost of a duke or myself… the latter of which he would like to “stab or shoot dead”.

    No.
    I suspect it goes deeper than that. I would prefer to hear keven11's explanation before I draw any conclusions.
    Your characterization of the OP seems rather sinister.

    But as is usual I could be wrong. When I read or hear something I don't understand I seek for truth. I find the OP intriguing in that sense.

    Can one join the Ghost Chamber, or is one selected and initiated through a secret rite or ritual?

    poetry isn't just words that rhyme
    it's the poet's heart you see on the page
    second guessing anything you've written
    is a character flaw of the rookie sage
