Welcome to Metaphysics! / Good Books to read?
January 08, 2004, 22:23:38
So, I've been following the alien communication for some time, starting back in July when MAYATNIK started the Pendulum thread.  Now it has branched out to two different races: The Zeta and the Reptilians.  And so, for several reasons (one being that I don't feel like sifting through the original thread that MAYATNIK started way back when) I pose this question to each of the three races (and any others that would like to input):

What, if any, are good books or sources of information about your race or anything that has to do with the "true nature of reality".

What I mean by the "true nature of reality" is almost anything that has to do with the Metaphysical, any of the topics on this forum, what humans are, what they were designed for, just....anything that isn't spoon-fed to us in schools and religion (or forced down our throats, as some might see it [|)] ).

I look forward to answers, and hopefully some good reading material [;)] .

Yes, I do step from the shadows of this board occasionly to post something.  Anyways...

I was just wondering what people's preferred weapon of choice is in the astral (and for those who haven't had a successful event yet, including me, what it WOULD be) and why?

For me, I always have been a bit of an odd person.  I think most people here would choose some type of sword.  I would choose: a Bo Staff.  I don't know why, it just "fits".

That and you can't really say you beat someone with a stick when you use a sword [:P] [}:)]

Well, I've been putting off posting this question b/c I thought I would look like an idiot.  I finally decided to post b/c of this Chinese proverb: "He who asks is a fool for five minutes.  He who does not ask remains a fool forever."  Anyways

I guess I'll ask the question first and then tell the two different situations.  Is there anything paranormal that could be associated with this?

First up, Rei.  I've known her for about 3 years now.  She used to be upbeat.  Now, she broods, constantly.  She has an....alter-ego (for lack of a better word, if there is one) which is very different from her usual self.  The "alter-ego" (and Rei calls it Raine, i'm not sure why) claims it's there to protect Rei from the world and herself.  (Rei has had, as far as I know, a traumatic childhood, and has attmpted suicide i'm not sure how many times; its a touchy subject, as one could imagine and I try to steer clear of it.)  She's moving to Japan in February, I think.  Rei is really into the paranormal, and I gave her Robert Bruce's Astral Dynamics for Christmas.  As the moving date draws closer, she's stressing out about more and more.  I suppose it could just be the stress, but I just think that there might be something more paranormal at work.

Second, and most pressing, is Val.  She is usually upbeat, and it never took much to make her laugh.  Her change has come very sudden.  She's changed her buddy icon (we talk mainly through AIM) to a skull.  When I talk to her, I sense something, almost evil, coming from her.  She's not herself anymore.  I think that she may now have an "alter-ego".  Well, here, this is from her AIM Profile:
"Some things change, you have to change with it. You are left fighting the dark side within you. Left pleding with your own thoughts hopeing praying you won't change. But trust me you will lose....You will become darker meaner and when you least expect it you will become a new person. I am Don."
As you can see, she's now calling herself "Don" and is claiming to be stronger.  This "change" has disturbed me greatly, and I really think there might be somethign paranormal here.  
If anyone has any ideas, answers, speculations, whatever, please, tell me.

I'm just curious as to how different people got started in metaphysical...things (for lack of a better word).  AP, OOBE, Magicks, Psychic Abilities, anything.  How did you get started?  What happened to make you interested?  And, if anyone is willing, what age were you when you started studying?

I suppose I'll start it off.  It started this summer when I had a particular dream.  I wanted to know, if at all possible, if I could manipulate dreams.  The urge to dream dreams like that again drove me to research it.  I then found out about Lucid Dreaming.  After researching more about Lucid Dreaming, I came upon Astral Projection.  One thing led to another, and before I knew it I was here, on astralpulse.com.  So, that's it for me.  I just stumbled upon it.

I haven't been here for a while. oh well, something worthy of note came up. I'm not sure if i should post this on AP or Dream forums. I remember all of this and I had no control over myself at all. I simply remember most of it; not entirely concious(sp?) during it.

It starts when I am standing on the edge of a cliff. I look over and see giant pools of lava very far down. I could hear faint screams coming from the pit. I turn around and see long, rolling green hills leading to a GIANT city; as far as the eye could see. I recall the streets were paved with gold and the streets were packed (i caught a glimpse of the streets, not entirely sure). I felt pure joy, as if all the pain and sorrow from the world was swept away. I thought it was Heaven.

I went to stand in a line leading towards the city, not sure why, maybe to get answers to some questions. So I stand in line for maybe 5-10 minutes when I hear a voice from behind. "Come back here for a moment." I turn around and see a jolly old man, a bit heavyset, wearing priests clothes and has the priest collar. He was motioning a few of us to come back, but no one in particular. We were confused and decided individually to go. We ran towards him as he was a few hundred yards away. He asked us to pull out a Bible.

Everyone else (about 3 others) pulled theirs out of a brown travelling sack. I had not this item. "Where's your Travelling Sack?" he asked. I stood silent, as if I didn't belong there. what he said next has perplexed me the past few days. "Ohhh, you haven't been in the Dream World for a looonnng time, have you?" (What could that mean? Was he a guide? Or was this just a dream?) I told him about my attmepts to AP and have Lucid Dreams, but they were not progressing well. (Actually, since school started a couple months ago, i have not the energy to attempt either.) "No matter, here's one for you." He pulled one out of his sack (i think he carried extras) and handed it to me.

He told us to read a particular verse. John 2:21. (There are two John 2:21s, only one has actual relevance). Anyways, here's what I found John 2:18-21:
"18Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
20But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.[4] 21I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth."
I couldn't actually find it in the dream (seeings as you can't read well in a dream. But anyways, i continued to try and read in the Bible until I began falling, slowly, down. And then I woke up and thought "crap, THIS Hell."

What could this mean? Did i have an unconcious AP, or just a weird dream? Could the Bible verse have any relevance? Any other good forums that i could go ask people? Any help would be appreciated.

Well, I thought of another question or two, and I'll go ahead and restate the other two, just to keep them together.

1. I would like to hear the Zetas' comments on this site and some of the items on it: www.futurehorizons.net. Of particular interest are the Alternative Feuls page and the Philosopher's Stone item on the Strange Science page. Are their claims true? I would think that many items on there don't work too well, or have other requierments in order to work, but I would just like to hear some comments on them.

2. Another question: I think you may have answered or at least hinted at this before (forgive me, my memory isn't very good right now after 5 hours of dealing with the general public) but is there such a thing as a coincidence? Does everything happen for a reason?

3. This question is somewhat related to Akensai's first question;  What happens to someone if they were to commit suicide?  I would assume it's different than if they were to die naturally, but how different?

Thanks in advance!

More platforms leads to a larger audience which leads to (possibly) more profit.

Anyone here play FFXI?

Well, it seems we stumbled upon this site at the same time, Squeek.  Only, I found it by going through the MegaTokyo Manga site.  I'm thinking of getting a PC case.....except my grandparents are probably going to buy me a computer or give me enough money so I can assemble my own.  

There's a book in that store that has a bunch of different viewpoints on the philosophies of the Matrix movies.  I think it would be an interesting read.

Nooo, that would be the normal ending.  It's not really a second ending, but more of a preview of the next game.

Welcome to Astral Chat! / My Favorite Video Game
November 02, 2003, 22:09:49
The entire Legacy of Kain series has a great story.  Most of it connects, and it's planned to span over the course of 6 games.  4 are out, and 1 is coming out fairly soon.

Blood Omen and Blood Omen 2 follow Kain, quite possibly one of the most arrogant video game characters.  The first one follows him as a fledgling vampire as he is used as a pawn for many different things, and presents the first and primary conflict of the series.  To actually explain all of it would require much time of which I do not have...so go find it on the net.  Blood Omen 2 has very little to do with the main story.

Soul Reaver 1 and 2 follow Raziel, one of Kain's vampire lieutenants.  In the first game, Raziel evolves a pair of bat like wings.  Problem is, he evolved before Kain.  So, in a fit of jealousy, Kain rips out his wings and orders him to be thrown into the abyss.  Raziel falls for centuries, only to wake up in the Underworld (or Spectral Realm, still need to figure that out) with one thing on his mind: Revenge.  His bloodthirst has been replaced with a sort of "soul-thirst", requiring souls to feed upon.  He goes on a rampage, killing most of his former bretheren (one we never see, partly because the game is missing a few pieces due to time constraints).  He eventually confronts Kain, but Kain escapes back in time.  Start Soul Reaver 2, picks up here.

Through the course of Soul Reaver, Raziel learns that he was once a Sarafan Warrior, a group of over-zealous fighters determined to end the "Vampire Plague".  He is utterly repulsed by his current form, and through the course of Soul Reaver 2, we see him slowly accept his vampiric "curse".

Legacy of Kain: Defiance comes out soon.  And after that, there should be another one.  Or so I'm told.  But yeah, great series.

[looks back]  Wow, that's a lot.  You can tell I REALLY like this series, no? [:P]

Ahh, those were the days.  FF7 is what got me hooked on RPGs and was my first RPG to play.  Quite possibly the greatest FF game Square has come out with.  Good main characters and the evil villian, Sephiroth.

FF8's magic system was pretty bad.  And the story wasn't great.  Although, if it had come out before 7, it might have been better.

FF9 was the next best one.  A return to four characters in a battle, and a good ability system to boot.  Story was good, but nothing fantastic.  Although, the main villian looked kinda.....fruity.



FF10.  My only real complaint here is Tidus.  Horrible main character.  Not only does he look AND sound like a pansy (by sound, look at his lines; not good) but his stats reflect that as well.  All speed and little evasion (although with the sphere grid system, it's not too hard to manipulate it towards the end of the game).  The story is so far interesting (haven't finished the game) and it had one plot twist I didn't see coming.

I think that's all that I have for now.  Oh, if this means anything to anyone here, reply:  DDR [;)][:P]

Well, most of my friends play CCGs.  But I can't keep up with Magic.  I don't have time to play seriously like they do and memorize each card and what it does.

But I play Mage Knight, a collectible figures game.  It's quite interesting.
#16
Nightmare.  Because it's so easy to be cheap with Nightmare.  I even beat a friend who knew almost all the special moves for all the characters with Nightmare, using only basic moves.  It's THAT easy to be cheap.

Geez, I've waited awhile to respond to this.  I'm a gamer fanatic here.  Been playing for....can't remember how long, but I knew I wasn't more than three feet tall [:D].  Anyways...

Today, I play mostly PC games, although this is due in part to my lack of a PS2, Gamecube, or X-box (evil).  I play mostly FPS and RPGs, but every once in a while I play the good 'ole action/adventure games.

I'm not sure if these have been mentioned before, but Tribes 2 is a great FPS to go play on-line.  Sure, in the classic version, there's not a whole ton of weapons and vehicle (there's only six), but the real action comes in the different mods available.  Makes it a great game.

And, if you're looking for what is so far a very intriguing storyline, I suggest the Legacy of Kain series of games.  One should really start with Blood Omen, then Soul Reaver, then Soul Reaver 2.  And the soon to be released, Legacy of Kain: Defiance.













Ok, I think I got the images in there correctly (thanks Squeek [;)])

Lynfer,

You ask, "Why do they believe that their way of contact between us is better than telepathy? I would greatly aprecciate all answers."

I'll try and answer the question, seeings as how the Zeta have addressed this (I'm pretty sure).  They do not believe their way is neccssarily better, but through the course of their evolution, they "lost" (or I think "put aside" might be more appropriate) their emotions.  By contacting us through astral projection/OBEs, they can view and study the emotions we humans display.

I think that's correct.  If anyone wants to correct me or clarify the point, feel free to.

Be warned.  This site is not for the faint of heart.  Or for those who have small, long, sharp objects nearby who might find the sudden urge to quickly and painfully remove their eardrums to keep them from being violated like this ever again.

Then again, some people may just have to laugh at how ridiculous it sounds.

Gemini.  Sign of the twins.  Kind of odd how, reading some descriptions on the net, accurate they are (with me at least).  Dual personalities; I actually catch myself arguing with.....myself.

And it would appear I'm the first Gemini to check in.

September 02, 2003, 22:08:07
Squeek: I meant the lyrics on the board, NOT the album.  'sides, I figured you already had the album by now [:D]

Anyways, I was mulling over some of my AMVs (Anime Music Videos...what?  I like Anime) and found a good song with a good anime.

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me

Any way the wind blows

Good song.

In regards to the pole shift:

1. Will the pole shift happen naturally or will it be induced by an outside force (ex: one of the 28 different races currently watching over Earth)?

Ah, music.  Capable of stirring up so many emotions.  Anyways, I got three songs here from Linkin Park's most recent album that Squeek may or may not have gotten yet. [:D]  All copied and pasted directly from LPs website.

Nobody's Listening

peep the style and the kids checking for it
the number one question is how could you ignore it
we drop right back in the cut
over basement tracks
with raps that got you backing this up like
[rewind that]
we're just rolling with the rhythm
rise from the ashes of stylistic division
with these non-stop lyrics of life living
not to be forgotten
but still unforgiven
but in the meantime there are those who wanna
talk this and that / so i suppose
that it gets to a that point feelings gotta get hurt
and get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
[it goes]
try to give you warning
but everyone ignores me
[told you everything loud and clear]
but nobody's listening
call to you so clearly
but you don't want to hear me
[told you everything loud and clear]
but nobody's listening

i got a
heart full of pain / head full of stress
handful of anger / held in my chest
and everything left is a waste of time
i hate my rhymes
[but hate everyone else's more]
i'm riding on the back of this pressure
guessing that it's better
that i can't keep myself together
because all of this stress
gave me something to write on
the pain gave me something i could set my sights on
you never forget the blood sweat and tears
the uphill struggle over years
the fear and trash talking
and the people it was to
and the people that started it
just like you

i got a
heart full of pain / head full of stress
handful of anger / held in my chest
uphill struggle / blood sweat and tears
nothing to gain / everything to fear

[coming at you]




Breaking the Habit

memories consume
like opening the wound
i'm picking me apart again
you all assume
i'm safe here in my room
[unless i try to start again]
i don't want to be the one
the battles always choose
cause inside i realize
that i'm the one confused

i don't know what's worth fighting for
or why i have to scream
i don't know why i instigate
and say what i don't mean
i don't know how i got this way
i know it's not alright
so i'm
breaking the habit
tonight

clutching my cure
i tightly lock the door
i try to catch my breath again
i hurt much more
than anytime before
i had no options left again

i'll paint it on the walls
cause i'm the one at fault
i'll never fight again
and this is how it ends

i don't know what's worth fighting for
or why i have to scream
but now i have some clarity
to show you what i mean
i don't know how i got this way
i'll never be alright
so i'm
breaking the habit
breaking the habit
tonight


Faint

i am
little bit of loneliness
a little bit of disregard
a handful of complaints
but i can't help the fact
that everyone can see these scars
i am
what i want you to want
what i want you to feel
but it's like
no matter what i do
i can't convince you
to just believe this is real
so i let go
watching you
turn your back like you always do
face away and pretend that i'm not
but i'll be here
cause you're all i got
i am
a little bit insecure
a little unconfident
cause you don't understand
i do what i can
but sometimes i don't make sense
i am
what you never want to say
but i've never had a doubt
it's like no matter what i do
i can't convince you
for once just to hear me out
so i let go
watching you
turn your back like you always do
face away and pretend that i'm not
but i'll be here
cause you're all i got

i can't feel
the way i did before
don't turn your back on me
i won't be ignored
time won't heal
this damage anymore
don't turn your back on me
i won't be ignored


no
hear me out now
you're gonna listen to me
like it or not
right now



That will be all for now.  I'll probably find more later.
#24
Ok, I geuss I can post something here.  Let's see.

1. I'm a bit of a lurker on message boards.  I look at the board and post very little.  I've been here for about a year and haven't reached 30 posts.
2. Youngest of four brothers.
3. Senior in high school.  Taking dual-credit (get high school AND college credit at the same time.)  Currently working as slave labor for Wal-Mart. [:D]
4. Hard-core gamer.  Well, depends on one's definition of "hard-core".  Been playing since I was three (currently 17).  Currently play First-Person Shooters (THEY BELONG ON A PC; NOT A CONSOLE), RPG's, some action games, and DDR.  Much fun.
5. Pet Peeve: Stupidity.  And pointless conversation.  The kind where you're walking your dog and someone asks "Walking the dog?" .......yeah.
6. Watch the Simpsons and Monty Python heavily.  It's difficult to talk to me for at least a week without hearing me quote Simpsons.  And I can almost recite entire scenes from Monty Python.  Sad, no?
7.  Something will eventually be here.
#25
Well said, Squeek.

I have been here for almost a year.  I, too, was nervous when I joined (partially because I had nothing to contribute, and that has yet to change [V]).  To this date, I still am nervous to post, again partially due to my having nothing to contribute and all the "wars" here on the forums.

I hope that there will be a more friendly atmosphere here at the forums in the nearby future.
