Opening Pandora's Box

[Lionheart]

 Hello again, I have just returned from my week at Moondance Jam in northern Minnesota. My wife and I slept in our Vendor Tent for the entire show. It was incredibly loud and wild there almost 24/7. Tons of parties everywhere. The event brought in over 60 thousand people and most of them were camping in tents and RV's in lots in back of our tent. Anyhow, I have noticed that once you start on this road to discovery on Astral Travel, that it is always there now. We worked our butts off from 10 am until the time the concerts stopped which was about 1 am. I was incredibly tired and just wanted to shut my eyes and go to sleep, but everytime I shut my eyes, the Phase started. I usually ended up in the Phase for an hour or two. I could not just close my eyes and go to sleep. I was amazed because I was so incredibly tired. I figured that sleep would come fast, but that didn't occur. I had read in the past in a couple of books on OBE's and also heard in YouTube Videos that once you start to learn how to fully consciously Astral Travel that it becomes a part of you and I see that that is the truth now. Do any of you people, especially the people that have been Astral Traveling for years, experience this? For some reason I actually forget how to just close my eyes and fall asleep now. I close my eyes and then the noticing begins automatically. It feels like this goes on for along time, then finally I am alsleep. Another question I have for you is, what are you guys doing with the info you get from Astral Travel? Are any of you writing books on the subject? Or is the a personal quest into self discovery for you? After practicing as I have extensively for months now, I can see why alot of people avoid this subject, to truly learn and experience fully conscious phasing takes alot of determination and effort and most people just don't have the time or patience fo this. It truly is a shame though because I think that alot of people's personal problems could be solved in the Astral Plane. I think it might just change the way we think and react to things that occur in our everyday lives as well. Especially the incredible feelings of love and peace that are found in the 3D Quiet Zone.

I went through a short phase about a year ago where I was phasing without trying within minutes of lying down. Doesnt happen anymore.

I have long perionds when I wake up in the morning though where I watch stuff on my visual screen. But I rarely phase into it. I'm sort of between here and there just observing.

Most of my projections are just spontaneous ones during the night or dream based. If I had to go through the whole rigmarol of trying to project every time I wouldnt have anywhere near as many experiences.

hi lionheart, i was wondering when you'd be back -i enjoy reading your posts:)

i'm not sufficiently qualified to answer your questions, but i do think that you might try using your rare (and probably hard-earned) gift to refine your 'being', or conduct experiments to better understand the process, mechanisms and fundamentals that define the larger reality. the former should be a given as it is our duty, collectively, to improve as people, as part of the human race; the latter is more optional, but still potentially just as important, for this reason: physics are about to go metaphysical and we need pioneers! people who will conduct the preliminary experiments that future explorers will build on. i'm not saying science will embrace this stuff overnight, or even in your lifetime, but the walls are already coming down with respected scientists writing books on these matters.

just some food for thought, my friend. it's nice to see you posting again:)

 Thank you Blis and Pondini for your quick replies. I have noticed throughout my life that anything I have put my mind to, I have put in 105%. I left home when I was 14 years old and had to learn about true life by myself. In every job I had I managed to make my way to the top, without stomping on anybody to get there. I had so many questions about what life was really about and always had an uncanny ability to see through people. I also saw that it is much easier to go through life as a thief, liar etc. then it is to go through life with good morals. I became a people watcher and could sort the 2 of those out easily. I went through alot of ups and downs like others as well. I also learned when I got into this Astral Travel that it is important to forgive all those that have done bad things to you through your life, but more importantly to forgive yourself. Once I finally had done this I could enter into the Astral as an observer, without being emotionally attached to circumstances there. I am really hoping that your statement about physics going metaphysical comes true Pondini. I feel that changes are coming, I have also felt that the collective conscious is what makes all things occur here on earth. Whether that be good or bad. There is alot of research being done currently on the "WebBot". The Webbot, for those that don't know already, is a program that scans the internet for world events. Unfortunately, it finds these events after they occur.
On another subject, during a campaign speech of Obama's a couple of years ago, I was laying on my bed slightly in a daze with my eyes closed. When I had opened them for a second, I saw Obama giving a speech that this was the end of times. It was incredibly real and to this day I have no explanation for this. He was up on the podium and looking sad as he was explaining that the time to be with family was now and that end was upon us. This was a couple of years before I had decided to investigate Astal Travel. Nevertheless, I voted for McCain because of this.

the problem with precognition is that it can be unreliable, and becomes even less probable the further out in time it is supposed to occur. to suggest otherwise is to say there is no free will. this theory of precognition having only a certain degree of probability is explained very well in Tom Campbell's book My Big T.O.E. (Theory Of Everything).

your glimpse of obama was powerful enough for you to cast a vote for sarah palin as vice president under an elderly would-be president, that alone should be motivation enough to look into the nuts and bolts behind the larger reality:P

here is a crash-course of tom campbell's theory in a lecture to students at emory university in april. a must watch.

 Thanks again Pondini. That Tom Campbell video was quite informative. Yes I did vote for the McCain/Palin on the premises of what I saw. That will tell you how realistic and serious that vision was to me. I am still glad I went with that choice, after seeing how Obama has failed badly in my eyes. I don't wish to talk politics though, but I do see what Campbell says as being true. He is a fantastic speaker and shows great passion in his discovery and beliefs. I think that he has the best scientific explanation I have seen yet of consciousness. I am sure there are a number of scientists that try to refuse his theories as well.
