Because it not in the bible.Know were in the bible does it say you should astral project.

The bible also does not say if it is okay to poop and pee in a toilet either, but I bet you do that without worrying about going to some made up hell.

Hi Thenoob,

I agree with MisterJingo on this one.  You have to keep an open mind when going in to the astral realm as it will conform to your preconceived beliefs and notions. As a Witch myself I can tell you that the person you spoke to is not Wiccan and is certainly not a Witch.  They sound like a crack pot fool who is just trying to make themselves sound much more important than they really are, probably in a vain attempt to impress you.  They probably picked up a couple of books, read a few pages, and now run around calling themselves the High Magus Wizard Witch King!  I can tell you that, and this is coming from a real Witch, that Magick and Witchcraft are very difficult paths to follow, and not just because of the flak the we get from everyone.  It requires honor and integrity, in vast amounts. Every true Witch strives for impeccability within themselves and in their interactions with others and within this pursuit they humble themselves (or are forced to become humble by others).  Very rarely will you see a real Witch jumping around proclaiming to be the reincarnation of Merlin and if you do it is best to avoid them as they are probably off their rocker.

There are a lot of preconceived notions out there about what is Witchcraft and Magick.  Very simply it is not wiggling your nose and *poof* I turn you into a newt.  Nor is it Harry Potter wand waving.  Magick has it's basis and roots in the universal laws that govern all of existence and non-existence, hence the reason it is more effective on the astral. Magick is simply using energy to effect a change, usually within ourselves. Though it helps if you already look at the universe from the standpoint of subjective reality.  A good book, and one that will blow your brains out every time you read it, is the Kyballion by the three initiates. This is basically the must have document for universal laws.  One of them (The Law of Attraction) has been in the lime light recently due to the book and move called The Secret and is starting to gain real traction in mundane society.

Now, onto you question... Is this stuff real?  Well first you must define real? Is it what you perceive in your waking life?  To take a page out of The Matrix, and from Morpheus specifically, what is real is simply electric impulses that your brain interprets from your senses.  There for everything you see, hear, taste, touch, and smell are all constructs of your mind, as are dreams, meditations, astral experiences, the list just goes on endlessly.  All of it is real by that context. Really what confirms that Magick and Witchcraft are real are the fact that others who are not Witches have used the universal laws to effect change.  The real question here though is what do you want to believe is true? Does Magick and Witchcraft, at least the universal laws that they are based upon, do they ring true to you, in your gut, your instinct?  If it does, then it is real, regardless of what path you walk or what your definition of reality is.

Hope that helps!

So the number 11 is basically the "spirit" number.
People who see it a lot are most likely awakening to spirit guidance, in which case there are guides around them that will use this number in order to get their attention.

Thanks for the info James!  That helps me quite a bit.  I'm always seeing repeating numbers.  You wouldn't happen to know about other master numbers like 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99 or have a good resource that you could point me to?  I'm constantly seeing them in combos like 222 and 4444 and so on. 

Thanks!

my mind is slipping. when i get tired, or when i dont pay attention, and im typing, i sometimes type other words, not mispellings or anything, i just start typing other words. whats going on?

You are describing what happens to me at times almost perfectly.  Nothing to be concerned about, though you might want to get a bit more sleep.  It will help.  The state of consciousness you hit is an in between state.  You are between consciousness and unconsciousness.  It is not automatic typing, though it does exist. The words that you type are from you mind, are what you chose to type, however you can't remember that you wrote them due to you being so tired.  When this happens, if you can, you should go to bed and sleep.  It is your bodies way of telling you it needs rest as soon as possible.

Hope this helps you.

You need to be asleep but conscious. Your problem is that you are wide awake when you try to project.

So, that entails just lying there, doing lots of thinking (or would that be no thinking, since I'm trying to let my body fall asleep), until... it's silly to ask, but what does that feel like?

Kiwi is talking about the mind awake body asleep technique, more commonly know as a trance. We enter trances all the time so it is kind of hard to describe what it feels like.  Some examples of when we are in trances are when driving, watching tv, reading, focusing on work is a light trance.  Day dreaming and meditation is a little bit deeper than a light trance and for a deep trance, that would be sleep or just the cusp of sleep is probably more appropriate.

The trick though is to learn how to get into a deep trance with out falling asleep. It's more tricky than it sounds and is still something that I am working on. I've found that to get familiar with what it feels like is best at first.  What I've done is when I'm really sleepy, my eyes closing on me and my head nodding and jerking me awake, I lean forward so my body is uncomfortable and allow myself to fall asleep while concentrating on my discomfort. It works every time. My mind is awake and my body asleep. The problem I have is in maintaining lucidity and keeping my thoughts from flying away from my control which ends up pulling me out of the trance. 

But to try and answer your question. I think the closest I can get to what it feels like is it is like being submerged in thick and warm honey. Also getting to the vibration stage is good and may indicate that you are in some sort of trance.  There are many other techniques for you to try. It seems that the rope technique probably is not the best for you as you are having problems conceptualizing the astral body movements which is okay.  Next time you get the vibrations, instead of trying to pull yourself out of your body, try imaging what you would see if you were in the same position that you are in, but a few feet higher. Bring the vibrations with you and really will your self to feel and believe you are a few feet above your bed. Sometimes we just need to shift our mental point of view just a little to achieve an astral projection.

I wrote an article for a friend of mine a while back and she posted it on her blog.  It's more of an intro to astral projection from the perspective of a tech junkie (Yes I'm a NERD!) and may be helpful as it presents astral projection from a rather odd (and rather cheeky) point a view. It may make something click for you. Here is the permalink for the article. http://thedivineself.com/blog/2006/12/10/approaching-astral-work/

Let me know if this was helpful for you and if it makes sense. I'm a bit new at helping people out and feedback is really encouraged as it will help me refine my rather odd way of presenting things.

Being a Christian also entails not believing in science? I'm sorry, I wasn't informed.

Not at all, howerver straydog2012 seems to think so. I'm starting to think that maybe he is a troll considering he only has a few posts and the nature of his last post.  I know quite a few Christians that believe in science.

...unless your distrust of geology means that you
think the Permian strata are actually only 5000 years old or less -
which implies that the Maya calendar pre-dates the dinosaurs!...(or
you believe YHVH created the world in 4004 BC).

[NOT]

Here is the motivation for your post, shadow pulsar...this explains it. An understandable frustration with some people's laying back and waiting for everything to be sorted for them, without having to do anything... However, that frustration doesn't warrant inventing so-called facts to try and shift those people into doing something. This is manipulation and deceit.

...unless your distrust of geology means that you think the Permian strata are actually only 5000 years old or less -
which implies that the Maya calendar predates the dinosaurs!...(or you believe YHVH created the world in 4004 BC).

You presume much about my character, but know little and more likely nothing at all about who I am and what motivates me! I take great offense at your words and your incorrect assumption about my "motivations".  I had a much more meaner post here for you as you have greatly offended and angered me with your accusations, however I have deiced that my integrity matters much more to me than correcting your mis-assumptions.  Further more, please see my post below that I have quoted for you. That might open your eyes a bit to the fact that I don't have a PhD level understanding in Mayanology and am quite capable in being able to state that I possibly am wrong with my information. Because I am so offended by your actions, this will be my last post on this particular matter. And for the record, I am NOT Christian and have no problem at ALL with believing in Geology or Science or the fact that the Earth is older than DIRT!

At any rate there is always a possibility that I am wrong but as I said I thought I'd just propose and odd sort of theory on the whole 2012 thing.

[the end of the Mayan calender.]

Why do you state so objectively "There is no 2012." because of a minor miscalculation?

Please see below...

There is no 2012. I don't mean the year, that will come and go in our calender, what I mean is the end of the Mayan calender.

It wasn't a miscalculation... Their calendar was correct until the the axial tilt occurred that ended up wiping them out. Before the axial tilt occurred their calendar was spot on.  The reason I state that there is no 2012 is not that it will not happen. All that the Mayans spoke of regarding this date, at least some of it, will happen at some point, some of it is happening right now as this is read. The real question is will any of us be here to see it? Everyone is fixated on 2012, as if after it everything will change, everything will get better or worse, or it is when everyone will realize that something needs to be done and will actually get off of their rear and do something.  Time has changed... there is no Mayan 2012 anymore... We make our 2012 by our choices and actions.  Why wait until 2012 to make realizations? Why wait until then to do something to change the world. Why wait for some meteor to come before you try to help humanity and heal the Earth.

When will the next Ice age happen? When will the Earth turn into a giant desert because of global warming? When will our calendar end? These are questions we need to answer for ourselves, and not with some archaic calendar from a civilization that was wiped out ages ago. When we allow billions of tons of pollution to be poured into our atmosphere every day... We have nullified the calendar ourselves by our own actions, not just that of the Earth's axial tilt.  Will the end of the world or what ever the Mayan 2012 will be, happen tomorrow? in 2008? 2010? 2020? Never? Will we all be extinct when it happens?  It's up to us now... That is what I mean by there is no 2012.

The Earth has always had a wobble. Ever since the Moon formed the Earth has had a wobble. In fact the last major tilt was just 2,000 years ago, and the Mayan calender was written sometime around 700-1500 years ago as far as I know.

There is a reason the Mayans are typically referred to as an ancient civilization. They were around from 2600BCE to 13CE. 2600BCE is their earliest appearance and 13CE is when they disappeared. From 6CE to 13CE their culture was in decline and then wiped out. Remnants of their people were scatted for quite a while after that date, however I speculate that they didn't create the calendar at that time. I could not find a date for the creation of the Mayan calendar, however one would expect it to be created rather early in the civilizations history. I would say around 1000BCE to be conservative, possibly earlier.

Using your calculations above, that would put the Mayan calendars appearance at around 500CE - 510CE, about 500 years after their decline.  Kind of obvious that they weren't around then. Also that puts the last major axial tilt at 7CE which highlights the event that caused the downfall of Mayan civilization in the first place.

That means the Mayan calendar was created during a time of axial stability. Once the axial tilt event occurred their calendar became inaccurate as it changed how time was measured. Just imagine what it was like before the tilt, when the seasons ran on a predictable 7 and 13 year cycle. Easy weather prediction? Crop planting predictions? Life must of been hell for them when the tilt occurred as we don't have that nice 7 and 13 year pattern anymore.

At any rate there is always a possibility that I am wrong but as I said I thought I'd just propose and odd sort of theory on the whole 2012 thing.

I'll go find that book now.  Man if only I was home right now I'd just pull it off the shelf...

Here we go.  It is called Atlantis of the West by Paul Dunbavin. I'll provide an excerpt below.
Here is the link from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Atlantis-West-Britains-Megalithic-Civilization/dp/0786711450/sr=1-1/qid=1171374162/ref=sr_1_1/105-8808968-4587633?ie=UTF8&s=books

Here is the excerpt:

Do Welsh legends of lost cities beneath the sea match Plato's descriptions of the island civilization of Atlantis? Do Irish myths of a golden age when the eastern Irish Sea was a flowery plain describe the same place Herodotus said disappeared beneath the waves during a single day and night of geological upheaval millennia before Ancient Greece? Author and researcher Paul Dunbavin has embarked on a multidisciplinary investigation into how science could explain such a catastrophe and how modern archaeological findings point to a possible location for lost Atlantis. This book theorizes that the Middle Neolithic period around 5,000 years ago was a time of dramatic climate and sea-level changes all around the world. From an up-to-date scientific perspective, Dunbavin distills an array of significant geological theories and then examines the archaeological and mythological record-which together leads to a lost land thousands of years ago in the Irish Sea that was still mentioned in ancient Welsh histories recorded in the sixth century. Atlantis of the West presents a remarkable congruence of evidence from multiple disciplines to link the fabled lost Atlantis with the vanished Neolithic civilization of the megalithic builders. Maps and illustrations are included.

Do you have any sites in regards to the wobble of the earth, when it began, how it effects the time around the sun?

I was under the impression the Gregorian calendar was still accurate.

-AM

I didn't get it from a website I got it from a book that was written by an academic who set out to prove what happened to Atlantis. I don't remember the title or author off the top of my head so I'll browse amazon.com for you to see if I can find it. The book is filled with proven and undisputed scientific fact that he took from various sources and correlated together to prove where Atlantis was, what happened to it, and why. In my opinion he gets the job done fantastically.

Also, if the Gregorian calendar was ever accurate we would not have to adjust it every 4 years with a short February. Also keep in mind that it originated from the Julian calendar which was arbitrarily made so that the most powerful lords of Ceaser's time had the most days in their months (that February guy must of really sucked), instead of using science to calculate time properly.  The Gregorian calendar is not based on any scientific fact, it is simply an extension of the Julian Calendar.  The most accurate calendar the we can get now is a lunar based one, but then you have to make corrections for season drift. All that is due to the fact that the Earth has a wobble, which throws off any time based calculations that does not take that into consideration.

I'll go find that book now.  Man if only I was home right now I'd just pull it off the shelf...

I`m usually watching tv late and at one point I go to a semi sleep or something like that. It is like I have total body awareness....

This is called a trance and is the requirement to getting an astral projection going.  The thing to do is to practice remaining aware of what is going on when you enter the trance so that you can take advantage of it. What is happening to you is that your hit a light trance which kind of feels like sleep, then you end up descending into a deep trance, which is where you notice that you are semi asleep, from that point if you are not able to maintain total awareness you end up in a lucid dream and may actually end up asleep. You will want to learn how to control your trances.

to my question. i'm wondering if anyone has done this Glamour Spell... and with what success. i really would like to do this. and will get it done. i have read lots on it and am working towards casting a spell. I have also meditated on the alteration.

Looks like someone just finished watching The Craft...

Some advice... TV and movies are filled with lies, especially when it comes to Witchcraft.

Oh, and if you want to change your eye color, try colored contacts.

Some claims that Maya calendar is not accurately recalculated to western calendar: What do you think?

Okay, I'll through my hat into it here with my rather different opinion backed by common sense...

There is no 2012. I don't mean the year, that will come and go in our calender, what I mean is the end of the Mayan calender.

The Mayan's based their entire calender on very precise calculations made when the Earth's axis had no wobble. The Earth has a wobble now and that changes the passage of time so significantly that when coupled with the inaccuracies of the many calenders that have come since, the Mayan calender is unable to be used in this day and time.

Essentially, the Mayan calender ended when they did.

Excellent advice Sarah.

I have been slacking on meditating lately, I'll go on ahead and try what you suggest and see what happens.

Next question, If you have time of course, I've been having a hard time with astral projection on a conscious level.  Unconsciously I do it all the time.  What is it that I am missing or what do I need to do to make the jump to being able to astral project in a conscious manner. 

That question is also open to anyone else to answer as well if they wish.

Thanks Sarah and Thalb!

~Shadow~

Hi shadow

I like this channeling lark, it's actually quite easy if you remain open.

Thalb looks at me with that same "true to himself" look.  He won't shift.  Shadow knows what Thalb's on about.  I'm convinced.  If Shadow met Thalb, there'd be no doubt.    My own ego and influence is getting in the way.

Sarah

Most certainly.  If you remain open to channeling amazing things can and will happen.

I wouldn't say that I know what he is on about, but I do have a good inkling and your probably right, if we did meet there would be very little doubt. Don't worry about your ego and influence. Thalb choose to work through you because you are capable of over coming them. 

So one more question for Thalb after the others asking questions have been answered first of course:   What is the best way for me to connect with my own spirit guides and higher self? (This is something I've been trying to do for a long time, but have had little success in.)

~Shadow~

Hi Sarah and Thalb,

I love candles too! They cast the most gentle light, and don't even get me started on chocolate and wine, not to mention hugs!

Hmmm, well I'm not headed in the direction of caring for older people unless what is meant is caring for the older ways.  I've never been much for taking care of others, though I do try to help others when I can.

With the question you asked Thalb, "What is Shadow's job?" we have a disconnect. What I mean is that what you wanted to know and what you asked were different.  Thalb did give you a fairly accurate answer of what I currently do for a living, The manual work I do is technical support fixing computers, however I think what you wanted to know from him was what my venture is.

I would have to say your experiment is going very well.  You are definatly learning here, isn't all life a process in learning, and as always feedback is the best thing for that.

Hmmm... Stay true?  Very sound advice and I will take heed on that.  Not too sure though as to why, posibly a situation that has yet to arise. I will certainly take it as good advice though. I will stay true to myself.



~Shadow~

Hi Sarah and Thalb,

Purdles... I like that.  Sounds catchy!

Thalb is right on the money there. Very sound advice and it rings true within my core.

Please share what your inkling is as I am more than open to sharing what I am working on. Just didn't want to spill the beans on you since you are testing to see if Thalb is real or if it is just your ego.

I'm very happy an honored that Thalb is happy with my decision, yes I had made it a few days ago, and am more than honored that s/he would have no problem sitting next to me at a dinner party.

hmmm... doesn't look like all that many people have noticed your topic yet... I think that leaves me room to keep asking questions then, If you and Thanlb don't mind of course...
If anyone else is interested in asking though, please do. I don't want to have the monopoly on Sarah's and Thalb's time.

So on to question 3:  I have a huge interest in lucid dreaming, astral projection, and spirit guides.  In regards to astral projection, what is the key I seem to be missing? I've read many texts and done many techniques, however I seem to always be one step behind... In regards to spirit guides, what would you recommend to me in order to contact my own and also for anyone else interested to connect to their own?

Thank you for time Sarah and Thalb!

~Shadow~

You are quite welcome Sarah.

I would say that Thalb seems genuine as that is the same info I have received myself from multiple sources. 

I hope your experiment helps you to believe more solidly in channeling. It is only basic for you right now only due to you just starting out.  The more you do it, the better your connection to it.

One more question I think is good and then I'll let others take a crack at it...

Will my "venture" be successful in that through doing what I'll be doing, will I be able to walk my path in a manner that will allow me to have complete freedom and abundance in my life which will aid me in furthering my "venture"?

~Shadow~

Interesting experiment...

Okay so here we go...

My question to Thalb is:  What is my life purpose at this point in time?


~Shadow~

Clearly she said she had the feeling since morning, when she was sober.

It really depends on the drug done.  Sober is a relative term... Acid for instance wears off and it may seem everything is back to normal and then BAM! flashback...  She really needs to tell us what she took.  That would help a lot.

~Shadow~

Sounds like you are having a bad trip.  What drugs were they?  acid? Acid really messes with your mind.  There was a guy I once knew who did a whole sheet.  For an entire month he thought he was an orange and that everyone was trying to eat him.  He didn't know who he was, or remember where he lived or worked.  He even went and drank a gallon of OJ every few hours to "fill up". The moral of the story?  Don't do drugs, they mess with your head. Unless of course you want to be an orange.  I wouldn't mind on orange right around now... sounds tasty. 

~Shadow~

Hey! She's kinda... cute!   

She doesn't look all that evil to me... And I'm a fairly good judge of that.  Sounds like someone is just trying to garner attention, or maybe has a grudge?  Could be your just doing it to yourself.   

~Shadow~

... A female was sitting at an old wooden desk with a long dress writing into a book. For some reason I remember scribbling over the pages so that she could not write in it anymore or read what she wrote...

Are you a writer? Or do you aspire to be one?  An even better question would be do you have a spirit guide and if so have you tried automatic writing?

It sounds to me like your subconscious is trying to express itself, but your ego keeps trying to prevent it from doing so.

~Shadow~
