Does a vivid imagination jumpstart the Phasing/OBE process? What is imagination to you? I have recently had this incredibly strange phenomenon occurring. It start when I was having some back pain once before taking a shower. During the shower I closed my eyes and created an instant waterfall scene (water for healing). I imagined seeing the water that was coming down form the shower head as actually coming down from a waterfall. In this scene I am standing in about 4 feet of water as the waterfall splashes down upon my head and back. I have done this for the last week now, incredibly vivid imagery. Yesterday when I was in the shower I closed my eyes, the scene that was there was the waterfall, but then it opened to me standing on a cliff and watching the waterfall under me. Then there was a huge bottomless pit in front of me, with the water falling down the walls. In today's shower adventure I closed my eyes expecting to see my waterfall, but now I was in an underwater cave and there was a red row boat with some people in in, they were paddling forward towards a triangular rocky opening that was the exit from the cave. In the last 2 days I haven't created these scenes, they were just there. Now I notice anytime I close my eyes I see all kinds of scenery, trees, mountains, clouds etc. but they are all around me like I am in the center. These I haven't consciously created as well. It started out a week ago as being something I have created, but now it's like it has been hijacked. I am not consciously creating any of these scenes now. I am also experiencing the most incredible vivid Phasing Sessions I have ever had. Have I moved up a level? Is this what happens to people that Phase regularly? If so, all people that are committed to Phasing regularly are definitely in for a treat.
I get something like this quite often as well. I may have the intention of imagining something very definite, but as I start into it something unexpected and surprising may pop up. I think that the more we use our imagination, especially as a tool for phasing, the more vivid and clear and alive our imagination becomes, and things we could never "imagine" become possibilities.
Steiner stressed developing the 3 "I's" when it comes to spiritual development: Imagination, Intuition, and Inspiration. William Blake was onto that as well.
