what's the simplest & most efficient way to shut the mind up without drugs and/or devices?  Thanks!

Do you experience any joy out of life? A passion for anything?

not really, no...

All my life I've had this feeling that I am in a coma; just a shadow of myself.  You know the expression, "no one's home?"  I feel like I am not all there.

The Lab Route to Out-of-Body Experiences

...But this trick alone did not induce an out-of-body experience. (And a good thing too. Otherwise you might have an out-of-body experience every time you check out your own backside in the fitting room at the mall). To complete the illusion, the scientists used two plastic rods to stroke synchronously, for 1 or 2 minutes at a time, the participant’s back and the back of the virtual body. Next, the participants were asked to complete a questionnaire to evaluate their subjective perception of the illusion. Amazingly, they reported feeling as if they were being behind their physical bodies and looking at them from this location. The illusion failed when the stroking was asynchronous...

Allegedly, it felt quite real to the participants but, from what I read, I think what they are describing is just simple disorientation. jmvho

Yeah, its difficult to believe some things you have never had firsthand experience with.  Especially something that doesn't happen to everybody.

I was typing up something on my computer late.  I must have been sleepier than I thought because I nodded off but caught myself a couple times.  Then when I checked what I typed, I saw two entries I didn't know I typed:

• I am an avatar of the dark side.
• I keep an eye on you.

What could it mean?  Could the "I" stand for me?  Who in the world do I keep my eye on?

Any ideas?

my body, emotions, & mind have been taking a beating from life since birth.  I am in a bad way.  I have had the worst luck, its like supernatural.   To say people just don't take kindly to me would be the hugest understatement; its unbelievable.  I also need to sell my home.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

Not if you look at it from a spiritual perspective:  The only part of you that could in any way believe that God would want you to commit such atrocities would be the ego, and not even a healthy ego at that.  The part of you that has any transcendence at all would in no way believe it was OK to do it- it would actually agonize over what it had done, even if there were any possible way that it was necessary for any type of 'big picture' reason that we cannot fathom.  So, the part of the person that would survive physical death, would be it's transcendent part, it's soul, who would have to relive the pain it caused, since nothing happens separately from it.  It would feel every part of the suffering it caused.  And if there was any part of the deluded soul that couldn't grow from that, then it's guilt would make it reenact all kinds of nightmarish scenarios, which would produce the kind of  hell projectors have witnessed and report.
 'Justice' is a man-made concept.  But I believe there is, nonetheless.

So, if its the ego, why are there even hollow heavens at all?  No human is free of guilt.  There's a seperate set of rules for those who committed atrocities who believe they are doing God's work?

Hi!  Happy New Year; new here. I've been reading your article about phasing.  Its interesting but what struck me is the absence of justice.  What happens to people like suicide bombers who kill a mass of people but strongly believes they will be rewarded by some god?  Will they live out their belief in your focus 3?

How about people who have caused genocide believing they were doing god's will?

After living out their believed reward in focus 3, what then?  Bad Karma in focus 1?  That's an injustice.

Where's the justice?
