Just another theory on how to win the lottery.

[Astral Anarchist]

According to the "Many-Worlds Interpretation" theory of quantum mechanics, every possible outcome to every event exists in its own "history" or "world"(parallel reality).  Assuming this is true, every time you buy a lottery ticket, in a parallel reality, you've won!!!  If you take into consideration how bias seems to have an effect on random number generators, and how many explorers like Frank, for example, have suggested that everything that happens in the RTZ eventually becomes a reality in the physical, I would like to propose this test:  (Keep in mind that for the sake of the experiment, I'm assuming that strong belief and emotion have a positive effect in manifesting what you want from the RTZ into the physical.)

Keep in mind, also, that we are NOT predicting lottery numbers, but rather DICTATING the numbers that we choose to win with, in hopes of shifting our primary focus to that (parallel reality).

TEST:

1.   Choose your preferred lottery numbers, buy the ticket, memorize the numbers and the drawing date.

2.   Let's assume that you just won the lottery.  Look through a real-estate magazine or look around for a house that you would like to buy.

3.   Project into the RTZ, travel to that house KNOWING that it's yours (be emotionally happy).  Go inside YOUR house, find something to write with, and write your lottery numbers in the wall with the draw date and scream WINNER!!! (strong emotion with firm belief)

4.   Just do things in YOUR house (fully aware without a shadow of a doubt that it is YOUR house and that you WON the lottery) like, look at the fridge, rooms, just explore around KNOWING it's YOURS until you lose consciousness.

5.   Do this as much as possible before and through the date of the draw.

6.   Once you're back in the physical, forget all about the lottery and the draw date.  Any doubts afterward would probably scupper the whole experiment--so just forget the whole event for the time being until after the draw date.

7.   GOOD LUCK!!! 


OK, so this is a far-out theory but I feel it deserves a good shot, any thoughts?

I love the Many-Worlds interpretation! By the way, my new year's resolution is to try and see the lottery numbers before hand. I've never really looked at it from the perspective of "dictating" though. I looked at it as more like seeing probabilities for the physical which are already manifest in the metaphysical in all their glory.

I guess this view that I seem to be clinging to comes from an experience I had where I projected to a hyper-real inaccurate replica of my house and saw paintings that weren't supposed to be on the walls (I'm an artist by the way). Upon closer inspection, I was faced with a striking paradox. I had never seen the paintings before and yet they were familiar and I recognised them to be mine! They were done in my style and appeared to be solid and complete finished pieces that I don't remember making - but they were mine! Somehow they were familiar, they made me feel at home! I hope I'm giving you an idea of the weird feeling I got! Similar to Dejavu and something like...it made sense but it didn't!

After telling a friend of mine about this he said to me: "You saw your own ideas! You actually saw them because they already exist elsewhere, perhaps in a different frequency"!

This made me think. Perhaps the metaphysical also serves as an archetypal realm for the physical. A realm where our ideas can manifest and we (the mind) decides whether or not to manifest them. I haven't recreated the paintings yet. I don't think I will. The manifestation of them in the physical using my skills and action would probably produce something different anyway. But then again, the finished piece tends to differ from the idea. I also started thinking how sometimes when I look at my reflection in a mirror in the metaphysical, it looks like me but not quite. Perhaps its the idea or the thought of me and thoughts naturally have their own reality in that frequency.

You know what? I also think it is very plausible to think that the paintings I saw, which I decided to not manifest in the physical world, may have been manifested by another me in a parallel universe. After all, why would the idea go to waste when the potential to materialise is probably infinite?

Anyway, I think I will try your method at least once. Originally I was going to project first, see the numbers and then buy the ticket. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

I looked at it as more like seeing probabilities for the physical which are already manifest in the metaphysical in all their glory.

Yeah, I see what you're saying of the metaphysical being probabilities of what will become of the physical—then, I would imagine ,using the will to influence the outcome ha ha  .  I'm just trying to approach the problem from as many different perspectives as I can.

I guess this view that I seem to be clinging to comes from an experience I had where I projected to a hyper-real inaccurate replica of my house and saw paintings that weren't supposed to be on the walls (I'm an artist by the way).

That's an awesome experience by the way.  It makes perfect sense to me.  I can only hope to have similar experiences in the future!  On a slightly related note, the only time that I've ever experienced the feeling of déjà vu was when I took a hit of DMT.  I remember making my way, as a point of consciousness, through a black and white abstract room with odd looking stairs.  Everything looked in ultra 3D high definition. (Picture below) As I looked around, I recall being overwhelmed with this feeling of déjà vu.  I asked myself,"Didn't I see this last time I smoked DMT", then it hit me, "I've never smoked DMT before!"  I felt as if I've been in that room countless times!

This made me think. Perhaps the metaphysical also serves as an archetypal realm for the physical. A realm where our ideas can manifest and we (the mind) decides whether or not to manifest them. I haven't recreated the paintings yet. I don't think I will. The manifestation of them in the physical using my skills and action would probably produce something different anyway. But then again, the finished piece tends to differ from the idea. I also started thinking how sometimes when I look at my reflection in a mirror in the metaphysical, it looks like me but not quite. Perhaps its the idea or the thought of me and thoughts naturally have their own reality in that frequency.

This pretty much sums up my views as well.

You know what? I also think it is very plausible to think that the paintings I saw, which I decided to not manifest in the physical world, may have been manifested by another me in a parallel universe. After all, why would the idea go to waste when the potential to materialise is probably infinite?

That's a definite possibility. 

Anyway, I think I will try your method at least once. Originally I was going to project first, see the numbers and then buy the ticket. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Likewise.  If you do win the lottery, don't forget about me! I kid, I kid, ha ha 

[Summerlander]

That's a pretty awesome pic and I'm not surprised at all that DMT does that. I think that psychedelic helps our consciousness to focus on other realms. I find it really interesting that you felt like you had been there before. Perhaps you are there and here and everywhere at the same time (as Kepple implied). I also think we can have many memories which don't necessarily apply to the normal waking states but belong to other realities.

Btw, I also think DMT produced endogenously is majorly responsible for our ability to induce OOBEs just as it is also linked to NDEs and other altered states. It is also been speculated that DMT in the brain plays a major role in providing the perception of the waking world - you might even say that our perception of the world is a very elaborate hallucination.

I think you will find this link interesting:

[Astral Anarchist]

Rick Strassman is the MAN!!!  I agree.  At least, in my opinion, I feel that having psychedelic experiences from different entheogens such as DMT, shrooms, and ayahuasca are beneficial in allowing me to view this reality from several different perspectives.  Unfortunetly, I have only experienced DMT and shrooms—I hear ayahuasca is awesome!  I also find the déjà vu phenomenon interesting, and I agree, that we probably exist, in multiple realities at once.

The fact that in some animals the pineal gland has a retina, cornea, and lens further proves your point.  I've actually had a semi-lucid dream in which my pineal gland was destroyed intentionally to see the after-effects.  I think you'll find it interesting.

I'll post it here:

(Throughout the experience, I would say I was 33% lucid, 66% dreaming).  I was making my way into a murky room.  In this room there was an executioner's chair.  Right next to the chair was a man holding a cordless driller with his right hand.  To his right there was his assistant just standing there observing.  I voluntarily approached the chair and sat on it.  Clasped in my right hand I had a drill-bit (I got the impression that the reason I was there was to experience death as an educational experience).  So I willfully handed the guy with the driller my drill bit.  He installed the drill-bit then proceeded to hold the driller vertically from the top-center of my head—then drilled right through it (I believe shredding my pineal gland).  Instantly, my focus shifted from the room into outer space.  I found myself floating as a point of consciousness without a body.  In front of me, there was a massive nebulous cloud with glimmering lights similar to that of a Christmas tree.  For a while a stood there with wonder and awe--eventually the novelty of the experience wore off and decided to try to "will" myself into the astral.  No matter how hard I tried, my efforts were in vein.  The last thing I remember thinking to myself as I was stuck there was, "well, this sucks".  I will like to point out that the whole experience seemed rather contrived, as if from a play.

Anyways, the nebula looked almost identical to this:

[Summerlander]

Orion. Cool! And that was an interesting experience too. It makes me wonder what happens to those who die and get their pineals crushed or burned in the process. Where does their consciousness go? Lately I've been thinking about how the latest medicinal technologies have been able to bring back or resuscitate patients that would have been considered beyond help before given the time range of being "dead". This also caused a rise in NDE reports. Isn't it logical to think that the ones who couldn't have been saved before were still experiencing something within the same time range? The experience must've been purely spiritual as vast amounts of DMT were released in the brain.

If the brain was completely inactive or destroyed (including the pineal), then perhaps the conscious awareness acquired the perspective of being out-of-body in the here-now physical reality and able to perceive the destroyed physical carcass (autoscopy experienced). This seems to make more sense to me rather than consciousness ceasing to be. At least that's what appears to happen during NDEs which usually consist of both the 1st phase (here-now physical) and 2nd phase (metaphysical, spiritual realms) out-of-body experiences. I don't know...I guess upon death the here-now awareness would then shift to metaphysical frequencies or alternate realities (hypothetically speaking).

[Astral Anarchist]

It's perfectly logical!!!  I just hope that I can prove this to myself.  I mean, that's the main reason why I'm trying to learn to consciously project in the first place (experimenting).  On the other hand, if life ends at the hour of death, then so be it, I'm willing to accept that fate.  Fortunately, from my limited experience and research, my money is on the former.  I already have my spot in Focus 27 called for, so...

This is totally unrelated, and I apologize for that, but I've reached the stage of relaxation where I begin hearing the astral-wildlife noise (swooooshing sounds)--this has happened three times in my last seven attempts.  Unfortunately, I've only managed to keep that state for about a second or two.  My guess, based on what I've read from Frank, is that my protective sense of awareness is taking note of these new sensations, since I've never experienced them consciously before, and in effect taking me out of the trance.  So my question is, when you first began hearing the astral-sounds, how many attempts did it take you to familiarize yourself with them?

[Summerlander]

My first attempts consisted of just succeeding in hearing strange sounds and getting mild or violent vibrations. It wasn't long before I recognised that there was a distinct shift of consciousness which marked the beginning of something strange. I think the more you experience the more observations you make. You will also make distinctions between 1st phase (physical realm projections) and 2nd phase (astral projection) - the latter is the most common, almost like the thoughtful mind belongs there.

Even though I've been projecting since 2008, I still find the phenomena very much elusive. I have made some startling observations though as I conducted a study. For example, visits to the living in 2nd phase often revealed what they were doing at the time in the physical but often slightly inaccurate - as though I was seeing their subconscious projections and stuff from their minds. Even so, the info I got from these 2nd phase visits were enough to shock the visited once I told them about my experiences...it made more sense to them because it appeared to be stuff from their minds. One of my friends even reported to his girlfriend that he felt funny and thought that he should remember someone or something at the time of my OOBE...at the time I was, in theory, talking to his unconscious self (hence why he wasn't aware of our conversation).

On the deceased, things are also relevant. The first time I decided to visit my stepfather (who committed suicide years ago) in an OOBE, I found myself in what appeared to be an environment where he was living out a fantasy. He hadn't noticed my presence there but when I called out to him he turned and looked perplexed. A strange force seemed to pull me backwards like an elastic band and I woke up.

Subsequently, I had a lucid dream where he surprised me with a knock on the door. I wasn't even expecting me. He told me it was a visit and asked me how I saw him the first time. I told him about "astral projection", he seemed interested. Then he cried and told me that he regretted what he did. I patted him on the back and told him that we all make mistakes and that no-one blames him. He perked up and seemed happier.

I was to visit him in other OOBEs and he was to surprise me more in other dreams (particularly the vivid ones). In one of them he had this bloke with him that I didn't know. My stepfather told me that it would have been his birthday if he had been alive, which I already knew, and that he would have been 42, which I didn't know. I was to ask my mother this and it checked out. I couldn't believe it (unless I knew subconsciously). But other info he gave me checked out too. To be honest, these experiences helped me to get over his death. I can see him so easily when I project now, as though a channel is always open for me. My girlfriend asked me to try and see her nan but I'm having trouble with that...still trying.

I would put it down to subconscious knowledge but there are some things which are even more shocking. When me and my mum went to see him at the morgue he had a towel around his head where he had shot himself. My little sister, who was about three or four, didn't go...understandably. A few days later she was to say to my mum that "daddy came to see me in my dream" and that he "cuddled me and said everything would be ok". No one thought much of this and we put it down to the fact that she was probably missing not seeing her father. But what was startling was the fact that she then asked "mummy, why was daddy wearing a towel around his head".

How can you not strongly consider the possibility of an afterlife after this?

So far, my OOBEs seem to indicate to me that there is an afterlife, that OOBEs have a telepathic potential, that probabilities can be viewed, and I wouldn't overlook the fact that they can also turn retrocognitive as well as precognitive.

Another bonus for having OOBEs is that these experiences inspired my art. One day I woke up and thought: hey, instead of just writing my experiences, why not draw the ones that stand out too? Have a look at them and see what you think:

http://astralviewers.com/summerlander-journal/my-oobeap-related-art/

It runs along the thread. I hope you like it. I also wanted to give the newbie an idea of what the experiences can be like!

[Killa Rican]

I can never stop looking at your art man, Especially the first page. It reminds me of those biblical interpretations of "heaven" seeing rivers of milk & honey and wine and such. Maybe theres 72 virgins hiding somewhere around there?   Very Impressive though, I  cant wait to have experiences in the astral as vivid as those! I'm always stuck in the RTZ LOL.

Oh how did you feel about meeting Frank Kepple?

[Astral Anarchist]

Thanks for the explanation!  I've been experiencing odd shifts of consciousness lately as well, I was just curious, sense you have more experienced doing this than I am.  I've only had 4 spontaneous obe's, 11 lucid dreams--8 of which were turned into astral projections.

Those experiences of yours sound amazing man!  It was awe-inspiring that you and your stepfather where able to reconcile after that.  To say that the revelations of your sis where astonishing, is an understatement.  I can only hope to one day have a similar experience with my father.  Thanks for sharing this fantastic experience bro.  And don't get me wrong.  Like I said, if I had to make a bet, my money would be that there is an afterlife.  But the thing with me is that I'm pragmatic and stubborn.  I need to experience things like what you've experienced to make sure.  Unfortunately, my obe's have been uneventful for the most part.  My astral projections, on the other hand, have been entertaining, but haven't been as profound or enlightening as of yet.

The only experience that I've gone through that gave me clues of the possibility of an afterlife, happened in a dream.  One of my dogs had just passed away during the night (of old age).  On that exact night, I dreamt of my dog running spiritedly with jubilation, he seemed younger too, all over the place.  He would eventually come over to me to greet me with a smile.  Upon waking and hearing the news, I was taken aback by the whole revelation, to say the least.  My impression was that he was letting me know that he was ok and saying goodbye to his friend.  To add to this moving experience, until that night, I've never dreamt of any of my pets before or even after!  But I still need more personal verifications though.  

I remember reading MDM's website where he claims that if you manifest, let's say a Ferrari F430, and looked under the hood to take notice of all the details (engine) and returned back to the physical, you would be able to verify what you saw, with some research on google of course.  If I'm able to verify this first hand, then to me, this will be the smoking gun—assuming that I've never seen the engine before.

I have to say you're one hell of an artist!  Those pieces remind me of the surrealistic art by Salvador Dali.  Keep it up! They're amazing!  

[Summerlander]

@ killa Rican:

Thanks. That heaven like environment was something that had a major impact on me because it made me want to stay there forever and it wasn't just visual. It conveyed love and harmony. After I had that experience I was to stumble upon something about a "summerland" in a book about NDEs and the afterlife. I was shocked to find that the descriptions of such a place by the alleged spirit of a dead person matched what I had seen...particularly the cottages and rainbows! That's why I decided that my name should be "Summerlander".

A lot of people think of it as a heaven but I'd like to think of it as one of the many constructs in the metaphysical which manifest out of consciousness. It could be just one particular BST as described by Kepple. But who knows. It was great! That's all I know. I hope I go there again someday!

I was surprised to see Kepple (or kepple lookalike) and I wonder why I didn't say anything to him, I kinda became mesmerised by what he was doing and he never acknowledged my presence. That was strange.

@ Astral Anarchist:

That's understandable and I like the pragmatic approach. That's why I never claim to know anything. I can only state what I've experienced and let people make up their minds. I'm also open to other explanations than just OOBEs enabling the communication betwenn the living and the dead (even though it seems that way). These days I tend to tell people to experience the OOBE and see where it takes them. I think people should draw their own conclusions. Take your time with OOBEs and don't let some of the observations I've stated cloud your judgement or influence your opinion. I usually tell what I've found so far in order to persuade people to pursue with these experiences because they can be great. But I also tell them to have a fresh perspective.

I dreamt of my dog running spiritedly with jubilation, he seemed younger too, all over the place.

Interesting...my stepfather also looks younger when I see him. Healthier and strong-looking too. This could be applicable to animals. Either they really are the spirits of the dead and they look as they would like to look but still be recognised... OR...they are nothing but mental projections concocted by our minds and we are seeing them how we would like to see them. In this case scenario, of course, any confirmations that you make based on the info they give you would be put down to an amazing coincidence or the fact that our subconscious already held the information.

My impression was that he was letting me know that he was ok and saying goodbye to his friend.

Isn't this great. I kinda like Scrooges philosophy at the end of the story...whether it was a dream or not, what matters is the experience and how it makes us feel. I think OOBEs and dreams do a good job in helping us to get our the deaths of loved ones regardless of whether it's real or not...

I have to say you're one hell of an artist!  Those pieces remind me of the surrealistic art by Salvador Dali.  Keep it up! They're amazing!

Thanks. I like Dali too. They say a lot of his art was inspired by hypnagogic/hypnopompic imagery. Sometimes I wonder if he projected too. If he was experimenting with his sleep patterns, surely he must've stumbled upon an OOBE at some point? On this note, I use something similar to the Robert Monroe method with emphasis on a nap or sleep prior to the OOBE induction as this helps you to get primed. It's a guide which has been quite effective on the folks at Astral Viewers. Give it a try if you want:

It's the same as your idea.

hav'nt really read the theories about this here on this thread ya's may have said it

but the Spirit World/guides/angels all the same just our Spirits who decide on who wins what in these areas

good luck

@Summerlander

I'll tell you what.  If I had an experience similar to how your sister had, as well as the one you had with your stepfather, and combined them with the one I had with my dog--I'll have to be crazy to not take the possibility of an afterlife seriously.  As a matter of fact, if someone asked me if an afterlife existed, and if I got the question wrong, everyone close to me would die--based on everything that I've researched and experienced so far, I'd have to say yes.

The thing that perplexes me the most about the dream with my dog was that I dreamt about him on the same night that he passed away, and not the night after.  So I didn't know of his death at the time!  At least, in my opinion, it's pretty far-fetched to explain this as coincidence.  So right now, I'm just looking to have a few more personal verifications to put this personal dilemma to rest.  Anyways, don't let my stubborn perspective have a negative influence on you either—I'm just one of those people that need to know beyond a shadow of a doubt.  And thanks for sharing your experiences, they really are inspiring, like I said, I hope to experience similar things myself soon.  You're technique looks pretty straight forward, I'll make sure to give it a try.  

@ingerul9

Cool, thanks for sharing the vid.  I would really like to know if it works though.  I'll have to try it myself, after I learn to project consciously.  Thanks again!  

@ether

ether, you're cool in my book.  

[Summerlander]

Haha. Bashar is funny and cool! What he says is always inspiring.

@Astral Anarchist:

You may have more experiences in the future which will support the afterlife notion, particularly when you start having loads of OOBEs. When my stepfather died I hadn't come across the OOBE phenomena yet. I did have a series of vivid dreams where he'd come to see me though.

In the first one he came and hugged me but he looked extremely sad. As he walked away from me I saw that he seemed to be weighed down by what looked like full dark bin bags attached to his waist. These "bags" were kinda ghostly though and weren't really touching him but sort of hovered along with him.

The second one was in a room where me and him talked and watched telly. In the dream I was talking to him like he was alive. Suddenly, in the dream, I remembered that he had died. I turned to him and said "you can't be here... You are dead!" - Suddenly the dream became hyper-real and he couldn't have looked more tangible in front of me. I felt goosebumps in that dream. He said to me "It's all true..." and as he said this, the dream faded and I woke up.

When he was alive me and him used to talk about aliens, UFOs and alternate realities all the time. Once, the subject of death came up and I asked him what he thought happened when someone died. He told me he had no idea but that, when his time came, he would do his best to let me know if there is an afterlife...

If the dream provided the medium through which me and him could communicate, hypothetically speaking, he did a good job at letting me know that there is an afterlife. But the sad thing is that we can never be 100% sure because coincidences happen and our minds have the potential to surpass our expectations . The sceptic would say, for example, that my sister's dream where he wore a towel around his head merely coincided with the fact that a towel had been used to cover his wound at the morgue.

Btw, this is my first and only attempt at the lottery numbers:
