Transforming the body into pure light

[alpine9]

I think this process is part of spiritual evolution.

I belive its the next step after physical immortality.

How much did you like it?

Quite a bit, though it seems to have skipped the editorial process -- or whoever did it did a poor job. James covers quite a bit of material on some advanced physics and biophysics concepts and correlates it with the long-term effects of spiritual consciousness and mystical practices. The book revolves around the Turin Shroud, the image of which James proposes was holographically imprinted at the moment of Christ's (or whoever's) "ascension" -- the attainment of the Body of Light, the Golden Body, the Rainbow Body, whatever you want to call it.

There are no step by step instructions for this siddhi, at least not presented in this book and I doubt anywhere for that matter. It appears to be a byproduct of the attainment of a very specific consciousness integrated with native energy (all types available to the individual) management practices. Native, that is, to the individual. In this, you must do-it-yourself because due-is-your-Self.

I agree. I think we've got one more step before physical immortality (or extreme longevity, at least), and it is one that we humans are currently struggling to make.

Physical immortality?

I certainly DO NOT want to stay in this meat popsicle forever.
That would be a curse worse than any death I could ever possibly imagine.

Yeah, when looked at from the meat popsicle point of view I can see how it wouldn't be so desirable.  

Truly, though, REAL-izing the (already) immortal / infinite and ongoing nature of the consciousness/body system is in essence what it is.  Some people will feel to linger through this area of their experience, others will swing rapidly through it in to what is glowing more readily for them.

I at least am patiently awaiting physical death while preparing

[personalreality]

you people watch to many sci-fi shows.

For those who actually will be passing through another quote "physical" death it is the most aligned thing to do.

For those who will not be, most specially those in the know, it is not..

Then there are those who are as yet still undecided.

Such fun times to live in ( ! ).

Don't worry guys, were all gonna die together at the same time in 2012, or I hate using the word death, I'd rather say, were all gonna exit the physical together in 2012   

[solarity]

I will be on my space shuttle watching as everyone gets raptured.

If you practice phasing, then the correct terminology is "Change your primary focus of awareness."

I gave-up OBE but I'm getting successful in using the law of attraction 

[personalreality]

the principle behind law of attraction work is essentially the same as that of phasing.

you're basically trainging to recall emotional memories.  you can think of the emotional energy/memories as physical sensations that your mind has made bookmarks of.  when applied to the law of attraction, you are visualizing yourself in the scenario you want to attract and you're including the physical sensation of these emotional memories/bookmarks.  what you're really doing is altering your energy field to a pattern similar to what you want to attract and intensifying it through focus.  this turns you into somewhat of a magnet, attracting that scenario. 

phasing isn't that different.  instead of creating the scenario you want to attract, you use that same skill of recalling emotional memories as sense memories to fully immerse your mind in a "rundown" scenario.  same skill, different application.

Alpine, your physical body is really made up of pure light.  The energy is condensed into the physical form.    Do you want the ability to change your conciousness to the point where you can disintegrate and re-integrate you body?  Is that what you mean?

The 'meat popsicle' comment was funny.
