Re-Introducing Myself

[loppoppy]

It has been years, but I've found my way back to these forums. So first off, hi guys!!! Glad that this site is still around and growing.

I'm probably pretty much unknown here. It has been a very long time, so I'll give a bit of background information.
I've had a relatively positive history on this site, and over the years have developed my ability and knowledge a lot away from this forum. I used to astral project regularly from sleep and every now and then in a rare occurance in a concious awake state.

Recently I made the decision to live a "normal" life and focus on material things, a decision that was not taken lightly. It seems this decision has altered my subconcious and any kind of spiritual experiences have since ceased.

Despite my previous experiences, doubts have yet again risen in my mind of the nature of life in general and what lies beyond, due to a friend of mine recently dying of organ failure after successful lung cancer treatment. Now I no longer have any connection to anything beyond this plane, it feels like his existence has ceased completely and it scares me.
I need to get back into this, another experience will bring me peace of mind that he is OK and although the nature of his journey remains unknown to me, I can at least take heart with the knowledge his journey is moving forward.

This is a little bit deep and serious, not sure how it will be received on a public forum, but this site always was a site of inspiration and motivation for me, I hope it can continue to be such a place. You'll be hearing from me around certain topics.

PEACE!

Hey loppoppy. Welcome 'back'.

It's sad to hear about your friend. it sounds like this has had a profound impact on you. For the better maybe. 

So you are trying to reconnect with your non-physical side after years of materialism?

It's interesting that you discarded it... and that it seemingly went away. What do you consider a normal life?

 Hello and Welcome back to the Astral pulse loppoppy! 

I am sorry to hear of your recent loss.

We do understand and will be here for you! 

Sometimes it is good to take a break and start focusing more on your physical life again. I have spoken to other people that have done this and basically all of their conscious non physical travel came to a halt. Even meditation was a chore for them. They could not remember their Dreams anymore either. But it was their choice.

In every case it took a profound experience in their lives to lead them back to this path again.

Much of this had to do with a recent loss of a friend or family member. That led them to either want to finally find closure with the deceased or like you said to make sure that they were OK in their next cycle.

They also saw that a lot of the material things they had strove for, the new path they had chosen, just didn't seem to matter anymore.

Good Luck and Safe Travels!

Condolences for your friend. My only important comment is that after death communications (ADCs) do occasionally happen. Sometimes they occur in dreams and sometimes they happen during an OBE. So while it can be difficult to believe that such an event can happen do try to be open minded and hopefully you will 'meet' you friend again.

Sincerely 
Grey

Hey guys, thanks for receiving me so warmly .

Hey Bedeekin! Basically, I took the choice to put all of my energy into developing a career, maintaining a relationship and accepting the challenges of common physical life. In the past, I spent my time looking higher instead of living in the moment. It left me unfocused in both the physical and spiritual aspects of my development, as I was ignoring the lessons that are available to me in the here and now. I'm sure that this is a problem many people have had before.

Sounds about right! And yes, I never regretted my choice. I believe it is important to accept the consequences of our actions. "To live is to change. To choose something new, and lose that which was not chosen."

I am very pleased to announce that after reconnecting with my guide, practicing meditation and remembering old spiritual habits, I had a brief communication with my friend. It was very short, and no words were spoken. We smiled, I waved goodbye like I always used to, he moved past me and was gone. It was a beautiful moment, although describing it, I can't imagine why it felt that way. Either way, I feel stronger every day. Onwards!


See you in the forums!
