You create your own "death trap" mechanism by giving energy (attention) to it.  There is nothing to defeat that you yourself do not create. Pay attention to the way you perceive the world and how you respond to it. No knowledge is certain. It is like Einstein said: "A problem cannot be solved by the same [state of] consciousness that created it." Everything about your existence is defined by you and no one else. Waking up is about realizing that there is no death trap, there is no heaven, and there is no hell, let alone eternal states of any of these.

The death of the physical body is necessary to maintain a healthy capacity of a physically-manifested spiritual occupancy of this planet for all species. Our vibrations will draw to us the realities and situations we need in order to spiritually evolve. We will all evolve in one way or another. We choose how we evolve by where we put our attention. Evolution is not a choice, it is a natural part of the process of being.

Considering the multidimensionality of reality, I do not believe that death can truly exist. Our universe, in all of its dimensions, exists alongside an infinite number of others, some parallel to our own and others different in ways we cannot even imagine. Probabilities always exist. There is no true death. True death would mean the elimination of something that once existed from the mind of God. This cannot be done. I truly believe the functionality of existence is primarily mathematical in its nature. Everything can be expressed mathematically. Subordinate operations cannot effect change on the greater operations under which they fall. Such a thing is logically and "mechanically" impossible. For example: Z=2Y*(X*((5a-3b)+ABS(5a-3b))/2), where X=(8f*((4c-6d)+ABS(4c-6d))/2. In this case, I am using "ABS" to indicate 'absolute value.'

The variables a and b cannot affect the operation of multiplication of x with the outcome of the operations in which they are directly involved, i.e. the function of (5a-3b) cannot alter the value of X, nor can it alter the fact that X is still multiplied with whatever the result of (5a-3b) is. The variables c and d are a different story, as X is the sum total of the operations in which they are involved. In this equation, X cannot equal f, c or d.

All formulas have variables, which relate to each other in a pre-determined way. In this case, 3b is always subtracted from 5a, no matter what. True death would be akin to taking the number 5 and saying it does not exist anymore. But if its memory exists, the memory is holographic because the 5 exists in an infinite number of universes, and thus the 5 will exist somewhere else. Taking the number 5 out of the equation is one thing. Saying it does not exist anymore in any equation is quite another.

Once you understand the formulas at work in your existence, you must then ask yourself who wrote them. You must ask yourself what the sum total of the formula is, and whether it is part of a bigger formula, and what its function is. Your first clue: Reality is fractal in its nature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set

God does ransom? Maybe I can rob a bank and bribe my way into heaven.

...but no signs of Christians ascending. Keep on the lookout for low flying Christians.

You must have missed that brief moment where God stuck his head out of the clouds and said, "Ha ha, just kidding, you're all going to Hell."

I won't believe it until he beats me in a match of Super Smash Brothers and unlocks himself as a secret character.

I bet it's someone with a cam-corder and a Lite-Brite (joking)

Who can take a sunrise (who can take a sunrise)
Sprinkle it with dew (sprinkle it with dew)
Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two
GodsProxy (GodsProxy)
Oh, GodsProxy can (GodsProxy can)
GodsProxy can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good (Makes the world taste good)

I'm totally stealing that.

Yeah, that was pretty much the response I was expecting...

If Osama is now on the astral plane, do you think he will try to hijack it?.

Sorry... it was an obvious pun. I couldn't resist. Just like the time I pushed the big red button. 

This "victory" feels hollow and empty to me. If we had got him within a year of going to Afghanistan I might feel differently. But now it feels more like a distraction. I do not believe the official 9/11 story anyway, for various reasons which is a whole other discussion.

My political viewpoint aside, I think it is safe to say that Osama has finally learned the truth about reality. He has met his maker and now he can reconcile his beliefs with the true nature of existence.

I am in no position to say whether what the author says is true or not. However, the one case that lends credibility to the possibility of some of his or her post is the case of Jaycee Lee Dugard (if you don't know about this one, look her up online).

That being said, negative entities feed on negative emotions- like fear, anger, hate, etc. This I know from my work as an astral warrior. I have done countless out-of-body excursions in coordination with others. In my battles, I am most successful when I am in a positive, balanced state, free of anger or fear, and focused on the mission objective, e.g. restoring balance and harmony to an individual's or group's life/lives, removing demonic oppression, ending psychic attacks etc. The results speak for themselves.

It probably has a section of rose quartz. The yellowish color appears to have been caused by iron content in the dirt it was found in. Try leaving it on your porch through a few good rainstorms and see if the color stays. It will save you a lot of work washing it, if you have the patience (also a good way to clean and charge stones/crystals that have accumulated stagnant energies from inside the house).

This find of yours does appear to have been used as a crude (but handy) Native American tool.

The illusion of separateness is the underlying root of most (if not all) suffering. Heaven is simply being one with the Universe.

The name 'record keeper' is generally given to the formation of quartz (as well as the rubies mentioned in an above post) which have naturally-formed raised (or sometimes, much more rarely, sunken) triangles on one or more faces of the crystal's termination (where the faces converge to a point at the top of the crystal). I do not know what causes the crystals to form the triangles. Whether all 'record keepers' contain information, I do not know. I happen to have both a number of quartz 'record keepers' as well as one ruby 'record keeper.' You have to hold the crystals in the light just right to see the triangles, which usually appear in the reflection. They are usually tiny, so look carefully. I am able to detect a slightly different vibrational pattern in these crystals than in other types of quartz- but then, I feel that every crystal, even compared to others of its 'species.' has its own feel to it.

I myself do not channel spirits and I am not currently working with record keeper crystals. Right now I am working with crystal and stone spheres. I have a vast collection of many types of rocks and minerals, most of which are not spheres. I have been privileged enough to work with rare minerals such as covellite, ruby, emerald, etc. Working with crystals is not difficult, but developing a conscious awareness of how and why they work does take time. Most often, they are worn or carried in a pocket. Energy can also be directed through them consciously, in more serious and involved work.

I recently purchased Gems of the Seven Color Rays, a book by William Stuber. This guy really knows what he's talking about, and he gets into the more scientific aspects of why crystal healing works.

I also own The Book of Stones, by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian. I do not agree as much with the information in this book, but some of it, for certain stones/crystals, has proven accurate from my own experience. Sometimes when I buy a stone, I get a feel for it first and form my own impressions, and then consult the book to compare my observations with the author's claims. I usually do this with stones I can easily feel. I have found that some stones appear to be inert and I have observed no effect from them at all, but this may have to do with the individual characteristics of my energy body (bodies, energy sheaths, etc) specifically. These stones might, in some cases, be felt quite strongly by a different individual.

Healing with crystals does have a scientific basis. It has to do with color, mainly, as we are all made of Light (being that all matter vibrates to different frequencies, and those frequencies are different wavelengths of light). The higher the frequency, the higher the wavelength of light. Knowledge and intuition fall within the higher end of the spectrum, while raw energy tends to fall in the lower end- and it should be noted here that energy vibrating at lower frequencies does not diminish as much over a given distance as that vibrating at a higher frequency. Stones of the Red Ray (ruby, garnet, hematite, etc) can thus be used to increase one's overall vitality and energy, which the root chakra can utilize and process for the body's use.

Anyway, to answer the OP's question, if you are tuning the crystal to the frequency of the earth, there are a number of things you can try. Burying the crystal for a few days is probably your best option- preferably somewhere natural and far away from anything like cell phone towers which emit electromagnetic energy. It has been stated by some that the frequency of the earth is speeding up.

Alternatively, you could pulse energy to the crystal for a few days using a frequency generator. You should check out www.orgonecrystals.com and read the info on an item called a Succor Punch. This will give you some ideas of how this might be accomplished. I can tell you from first-hand experience that orgone tools work. If you don't want to buy the Succor Punch, you can easily make one yourself- or something like it (ask the crystal what you should make and how). All you need is insulated wire, a quartz crystal (in your case, the record keeper) and a 9V battery lead. OrgoneCrystals also sells frequency generators, as well as 9V wall adapters. I am sure they could get you the kind you are looking for.  Good luck.

We are all the same soul, the same spirit, the same everything. Just different forms and perspectives of it. Everything is made of Light. Literally as well as figuratively. It would be thoroughly counterproductive if this one soul/spirit were to cast any part of itself into a pit of eternal suffering, pain and anguish.

Then I shall say NEE to Him.

lol

Full lunar eclipse on the Solstice. Wonder what the astrological significance of that is.

I'm totally freaking out, man. 

Illusions aside, love is everything, and everything is love.

All people do magic whether they realize it or not, whether they intend it or not. It is a natural by-product of being. The forbidding of astral projection is not enforceable, even if one were under lock-down religious fanatics with all the guns and scientific equipment in the world. Besides, how are they going to tell you that it is wrong to do something that happens naturally every time you go to sleep?

That is an interesting way of interpreting spirituality, to call everyone a member of one's religion even if they do not identify themselves as such. I am sure there is a reason for it that I don't fully understand, but I would never think to do that.

Every time I read an account on the subject of death and dying, it is always different. I didn't agree with some of the opinions and/or beliefs expressed in the video, something about it seemed inconsistent with my own experiences and observations concerning states of consciousness. When I meditate, I go inside of myself, to a "place" of stillness. Within that stillness, things (energy, usually in the form of thoughts and emotions) enter and leave. I do not pursue them, I just let them do what they do and do little more than acknowledge that they are there. In the video, they describe two angels coming in and taking the two parts of a person somewhere. When I meditate, it is usually on existence, not death. To me, death does not actually exist. Yes, the body eventually ceases to function and succumbs to deterioration, or destruction in one form or another. I believe that in the state of death, one experiences peace, joy, and love, and being suspended in time, which were all mentioned in the video. But I believe that whatever remains is indestructible and indivisible.

mmm... meat suit... Where's my bottle of hot sauce?

Aww man...

I say we take pieces of the moon to the earth, bit by bit, until we have assimilated it completely. Resistance is futile!
