Astral travel and DNA

   Very interesting story.  Area of particular interest to me is "Katherine's" apparent ability to affect/interact with objects in the physical plane while in the astral (more specifically what is commonly referred to as the real time zone).  I would be very interested to see other corroberating stories that make reference to similar abilities/events.  Anybody?

I have a theorie, very simple: if you develop your telekinesis powers, like Uri Geller, maybe you can use that while AP. Maybe in the astral form you have that powers extended, so that´s the reason why she can move objects in an easiest way than Uri. If Uri could project himself, maybe he could better thinks. This is just a theory. It is all linked with energys and ki, and the like.

There another possible explanation. I read somewhere that the density of the astral body of each people varies. If someone has a  very low density astral body, he can pass very easy by walls.
That´s what i readed. Now my theorie: if you have an high density astral body, you are compensate by the fact that you can move objects (at leats that possibility it´s much better).

Hi mustang

Welcome to Astral Pulse-
I read that Mullis book a couple of months ago and found it an interesting and enjoyable read.Fortunatly not all scientists are locked into that conservative-reductionist mode.Sometimes it`s the "loose cannons" that make the breakthrough discoveries.I believe in the not too distant future some of the subjects we discuss here will be considered mainstream insofar as they will be verifiable experimentally.

Happy Trails

to tell you the truth, i think he pulled it out himself, and might have been either unconscious or just doesnt remember. if you can roll over, walk, talk, cough, sneeze, scratch yourself, and hump your pillow while youre asleep and wake up in another position, then why not pull somehting out of your mouth? maybe when he fell, or when, he exhaled, it fell out?

as for the woman claiming she did it: either his wife, his friend or doctor or whoever might have told her, or maybe she was in AP and saw the doctor do one of the things above mentioned, but took credit for it, since she could get away with it. or perhaps she just had good telepathic powers?

im not a scientist, lol, but im pretty skeptic. it was a good read though.

You all must be thinking, what on earth does astral travel have to do with genetics? What on earth is this mustang on about? Well read on, it's all very incredible.

Here is a true story that you should all find very fascinating. It shows that you cannot so easily separate one aspect of human experience from another, even if they may appear at a glance to occupy completely distinct realms that have nothing to do with one another.

You all may be interested to know that astral travel has a direct bearing on one of the most important inventions pertaining to the natural sciences in the last 30 years. I am referring to the PCR (polymerase chain reaction), a revolutionary technique used to amplify DNA,  in turn revolutionising all forms of genetic research and its applications. The PCR is used in medical forensics and diagnostics, specifically in the screening for genetic and infectious diseases, in phylogenetic classification (classifying the interrelatedness of organisms according to their DNA similarity), molecular paleontology and other related fields. It is also used in paternity testing. The PCR allows for an almost unlimited number of highly purified DNA molecules to be amplified for manipulation and analysis.

It was developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis, an American biochemist, and won him a Nobel prize in biochemistry in 1993. The patent of the PCR was sold by the biotech company Cetus which Mullis worked for to another bio-tech Hoffmann-La Roche for 300 million US dollars in 1991. To call the PCR a revolutionary development in microbiology is an understatement. So what does all this have to do with astral travel?

Well Mullis makes it clear in his book Dancing Naked in the Mind Field in a chapter entitled "Intervention on the astral plane" that without someone unknown to him travelling on the astral plane and saving his life in the physical plane of everyday existence ( I'll explain), he would never have lived to be around long enough to develop the PCR in the first place!

So what strange occult encounter that saved Mullis's life is he referring to? Well as Mullis describes in the chapter of his book already mentioned, in the 1970s he often used to imbibe nitrous oxide (laughing gas) in order to induce an altered blissful state of consciousness. He used to hook himself up by placing a tube connected to a cylinder of nitrous oxide over his mouth and opening up  the valve of the cylinder, the nitrous oxide would be ingested and he would enter NeverNeverland. Although in a blissful state he remained conscious and thus always turned off the valve of the cylinder himself.

However one day things went awry, prior to ingesting the oxide one day, he had taken a powerful antihistamine the night before. He failed to realise how dangerous the aftereffects of the antihistamine were when combined with the nitrous oxide, indeed it almost killed him, for he passed out into unconsciousness as soon as he had ingested some of the gas, with the tube still in his mouth and the valve of the tank still open. However the inexplicable mystery was that he later awoke and found the tube was lying on the floor, out of his mouth, the valve of the cylinder still open and the gas still running out. He called his girlfriend Cynthia who rushed him to hospital, he had frostbitten lips and tongue from the tube. He was fortunate to make a quick recovery, indeed an emergency tracheotomy was even considered.

However the mystery of the tube lying on the floor when he regained consciousness remained. Nobody was staying in his apartment other than him, nobody else could have removed the tube. How had it come of of his mouth if he was unconscious as he was, and he could not have taken it off? People and animals anaesthetised on nitrous oxide don't move a muscle, it is why dental surgeons use the gas, no wriggling or jerking by the patient. Yet unless the tube had been removed from his mouth he would have certainly entered into a coma and would even have most probably died. However having no way to account for what happened, Mullis filed it away in his memory as one of life's inexplicable mysteries and that was that until.....

One day some years later in 1978, Mullis found himself sitting in his local bakery when in walked a woman he did not know and she walked straight over to his table and introduced herself. Her name was Katherine O'Keefe. There was an instant chemistry between them and they went back to his place and you can imagine the rest. He found her to be unlike anyone he had ever met, she then gave him a shock unlike anything he had ever experienced. She asked him if he had ever figured out who pulled the tube out of his mouth that fateful day back in Kansas? His jaw dropped, nobody but Cynthia and his friend Marc who was working in the hospital that day he was admitted were aware of what had happened to him. He never talked about it. When he could speak again, he asked her how she knew what had happened. She replied, "I was there, and I pulled it out of your mouth. I waited until I was sure you were okay and then I left." He was astounded, how could she have been in his house in Kansas City?

She explained to Kary that she routinely engaged in astral travel and one day in astral flight she saw/sensed him in trouble in his apartment (Mullis does not give the details of how O'Keefe sensed his distress), removed the tube from his mouth while she was in the astral form, saving his life. She sensed at the time that he would later play a role in her life. Naturally they became friends. Katherine later taught Kary some meditation techniques. Shortly thereafter Katherine sadly contracted malignant melanoma and died of the disease.

Mullis tells this tale in the same matter-of-fact style that he relates his experience regarding his invention of the PCR . It almost goes without saying that Mullis is a notable exception as far as scientists accepting the paranormal/occult reality is concerned, especially in the world of microbiology which to an even greater degree than the other branches of the natural sciences is ruled by the dogma of scientific materialism and reductionism, and that is saying a lot.

So to sum up, if it were not for Katherine in her astral form saving Mullis's life that fateful day, he would never have lived to later develop the PCR.

The scientists and researchers who make use of the PCR and praise its revolutionary applications to microbiology are for the most part conservative and caught in reductionist mindsets as I have already mentioned. For the most part they would scoff at stories of telepathy and psychokinesis, but astral travel and astral dimensions would see them laugh uproariously and dismiss such a topic as delusional and the stuff of fantasy. They would then tell you to stop wasting their time with such outrageous nonsense and let them get back to genuine scientific work employing PCR primers in the amplification of nucleic acid sequences. The irony of all this of course being something they would be completely oblivious to. Who says the gods don't have a sense of humour? []
