I'm kind of finding some of these that are listed to be ambiguous. I mean, some of these might have references similar to the state or action of astral projection, but that doesn't neccessarily mean that each was intended by the artist to mean as such. The state of dreaming, and also just the state of freedom and release from stess (which are all common means of inspiraction for songwriting) bring about imagery of free floating or falling free, and release. Like I said, some just seem to be ambiguous, ha.

Ugh. Personally I hate myspace and I feel let down to see it here, haha. Myspace is evil you know. Too trendy to be genuine. Its another resource for commercialism and crappy bands (at least in my observation and opinion...)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociopath

I knew that these two things existed, but I've never really looked into them until recently, and I was wondering how, if indeed it is really possible to be able to help someone unable to experience emotion. And seeing as how recently I have likened myself to explaining everything to myself on energetic and emotional terms, I am wondering how these implications stand with the rest of you. How would you propose to explain these psychological conditions of a person whom has been regarded as unable to experience emotion, and whom is consciously malicious to others without remorse? Is it even possible?

I can understand that what I'm saying might sound ridiculous, but it really is a speculative thought that has come upon me, like so many others from time to time. And if we live in the times of understanding, healing and new light, then how would you help these people to develope emotion, compassion, and know love?

I have seen it. It was really very good. I thought that the theatre would have been packed and sold out when I went, because it was close to the opening date, and my friend and I were like 10 minutes late, but when the lights came on at the end, there was only about 10 people in the whole room.

Still, it was eye opening, and depressing in some respects, but needed.

Quote from: runlolaare you jealous of people making money?
complaining about $5.00 :confused:


so what if they make millions, do you have a problem with
people having abundance? Do you expect someone that
puts this information out into the world to have nothing in return?
The information shows you how to make abundance in your own life,
so everyone wins. There is nothing to be suspicious of.

Its not abt me being envious or jealous...it is about me being cheated.....

I can understand your point, but it doesn't make it a fact for all things spiritual that people would like you to know about. But yeah, it is pretty lame for people to sell you pretty simple spiritual things overpriced. And although I've always had a view of giving things spiritual such as advice or pamplets or books even altruistically (and not to monetary gain), apparently some do indeed try to make a living.

Yeah, it was my link that spread way across the screen.

I agree that alot of the claims are too incredible to be believed, but also, I've read a good majority of the content in at least 2 or 3 other places (besides the occasionally interjected stuff like 'john paul II' being nazi and such, sounds interesting, but I need a source, haha, as well as William Shatner being contacted by aliens in the desert, star trek and the federation was Gene Roddenbarry's idea remember!).

Basically, I am instantly soaked and taken in by UFO talk, and this article did set me off on speculative excitement, for who doesn't love a good conspiracy? But also, some of it concerned me, in the facet of the 'draconian' empire and such. If there is anything to "Dreamland" (which I've read before, again, and yes, it is quite a scary prospect). Have any of you made contact with any entities in your astral and spiritual journeys and lives that even hint of anything within the article? Does anyone here have any prior knowledge of reading about this? I've read about insectoid aliens that were very negative numerous times, but never on astral pulse.

And what about the 'nordic' race, which I've read about from numerous other sources, has anyone ever contacted any entity that hints of such an existence? I think I was just looking for confirmations when I posted the link, because like I said, I do get rowled up with UFO talk, and this article is pretty extreme, so I naturally got a particularly good rush off of it.

Its true that things can be pretty crappy for children sometimes. Ultimately, let a little, or even alot of time go by, and things get better. I just graduated a few weeks ago, and already life is dandy. Turn 18, get a job, move out, and you don't ever have to look back (preferably go to college though).
#9
I am not exactly sure where this article belongs, but it is troubling to me, and I wanted to put it in what I thought was the most popular section of astral pulse. It concerns aliens, and warfare and such, and although this site may be a little shoddy, the article is from another source, and was merely reposted there.

I have a respect for the people who post and speak on astral pulse, and I was wondering what a few of the more distinguished people have to say about the article. It is rather lengthy, granted, but thank you for your time regardless.

It seems important to me because gracing the astral realm and psionic realm of abilities, I am wondering the relevence of this supposed data to the knowledge of astral pulse, which I alot of times grant instant credit to.

Thank you for your time, and again, I am really sorry, but it is pretty long.

Quote from: knucklebrain1970I have mass ammounts of this stuff. Figuring that the Federales will be shutting it down soon, I ordered up.  I never use a sitter caus I don't really care to. I use to get panic attacks a lot, before I even tried Salvia.

I was scared s-less to try Salvia. Here's the deal. Become at peace with death before you try it. See, I'm all about excitement,  I could care less what happens.

Now for me, Salvia is more or less a different type of thing everytime. Mostly it's body sensations. However, for me it's usually like feeling like my body is sevaral feet from me. I don't really see my body, but it's like, if I'm walking, it's ahead of me. I've been sucked into vacuums, black holes, vortexes. I've been to fairy lands, pumpkin farms.

I've tried all the brands. Word of advice. Don't go and buy it at a smoke shop locally. You'll get screwed. I dont' take one hit either. I take like 50 hits. Of course after the initial BANG.

Some say Salvia is not a party drug? I call BS. I've had more fun with Salvia at parties. I usually pack a huge huge pipe, have peopel sit in a circle and pass the thing around till everyone is obliterated. It's hella fun I think.  Especially when a first timer is going HOLY SH**, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT STUFF.

I have tried the regular leaf, and the extract. I bought a huge bag of the leaf for very cheap. I'll tell you whut. The big leaf, for me is far more potent. I took like 10 huge hits and I was trippin my socks off for a good 1/2 hour. I was praying to just come down. Seriously. It was like acid for me. But I'm just that way. Things affect me far greater than other people since I started having panic attacks.

However, the only thing that really gives me anxiety, is worrying about how the salvia trip is going to be. So I just tell myself, if I die, I die and that's how I've come to peace with the effects of Sally D.

Kevin

You're giving pretty irresponsible advice there...

Quote from: MisterJingoMost of the 'legal highs' are a waste of money to be honest. Although some do have such things as LSA (morning glory seeds(!)) in them. Salvia is an unusual exception as it can be staggeringly potent. Although I think it will be scheduled in more and more places as time goes on.


yeah...I am not interested in getting high, I think the experiences are very interesting though..
The place I order incense from has top quality incense so I suppose their herbs are the best too.
A bunch of different dream herbs, extracts & seeds that various native tribes use..
None of it's not illegal where I am yet...Salvia--I saw 5X, 10X, 15X, 20X, 40X & a sublingual tincture.

Holy Moly, 40x? I didn't know they made it that strong; Thats loco levels.

Quote from: cainam_nazierSorry...My bad. :roll:

But don't get me wrong there is that side of it as well.  And I forgot to mention repressed memory.

It is also entirely possible for some to have actually certain events through and dream or psychic event and mildly repressed or just forgot about it happening until the actual event is taking place.  But if that is the case then there is more information that tends to go with it.  You tend to remember the entire chain of events after.  Like you pick up a letter and get Deja Vu.  But then you know that some one will be knocking on the door followed by your mom calling you on the phone at almost the same time.  And then it happens in that order..exactly.  Those kinds of instances I would lean more towards a "true" psychic event not just the "wait, I've done this before" feeling.

Repressed memories can cause the Deja Vu event as well, usually traumatic events.  Not physical damage caused by an injury but a blocked memory.  But that is more like.....You drive past an inner section you thought you never been through before and blammo it hits.  "wait, I've been here before"....But then that is followed by...."Oh yeah,  that's where Tommy Two Tooth beat the snot out of me when I was five."  The memory gets blocked and then when your brain is ready to deal with it a triggering event allows the memory to come back.  In this kind of situation it's possible that you are subconsciously avoiding that location because of what happened there.  Or be you made a conscious choice not to go that particular path until it became habit and then you just kinda of find yourself there and then the memory surfaces.  But in either case, if your brain was not ready to deal with it then you could go by that spot a hundred times and not get the Deja Vu or have the memory surface.

Ha, its ok. I'm still going to blissfully enjoy my deja vu when it comes!

Quote from: jilolaIf you plan to use strong doses make sure you have a sober sitter around to stop you from hurting yourself.
The hallucinations caused by salvia are indistinguishable from reality and often the person has no recollection of taking the stuff.
Be especially careful if you use a vaporiser to ingest the herb.

Jouni

are you serious? you can buy this stuff on the internet &
it makes you trip out like that? that's hard to believe

Yes. I believe it has been made illegal in Australia, but as far as I know its still legal in most other countries. And yes, it can be an amazingly potent psychedelic. It's actually for sale in quite a few shops near me :).

http://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Salvia_divinorum.shtml

Details some peoples experiences with this plant.
I've had experience with it too, which I won't go into here.  But I would definately say start with low doses, read up on it, so you know what you are getting into, and definately have a trip-sitter. It is possible to lose all bodily (And life) awareness as you get caught up in its experience.

Sure. I've read that the initial activation doesn't last any longer than five minutes in most cases, or up to a half an hour (very rare). A few states in America have created criminal offenses for using or possession of salvia, but luckily texas isn't one of them.

Quote from: cainam_nazierYeah, I'm 29 and I count on one hand how many times I have had Deja Vu.  But then again I don't have any memory problems.  In fact I am spilling over with useless information.

For some one who gets Deja Vu a lot I would have to ask a couple of major questions to help figure it out.

Are you often forgetful?
Do you set things down and then can't remember where after a few seconds?
Do you forget important things like paying bills, or going to appointments?
Do you forget to do things like eat or take medications?

Answering yes to questions like these could mean that you have a memory problem.  Deja Vu works two ways.  A:  Like described in the article there is a "misfire", so to speak, and with think you have experienced some thing before and you really haven't.  Or B:  There was a recording issue with the memory and the feeling of the memory is there but with out the information to go with it.  

Memory is an interesting thing.  It is a combination of hard and soft switches in the brain.  There is the physical hard wiring in the brain that controls memory.  Some times that switch can develop incorrectly, destroyed through drugs or decease,  or in the case of trauma can become damaged.  These things lead to a multitude of memory issues from simple gaps in memory to full blown amnesia.  

But there are also some soft switches in there, learned traits, which is why you can learn techniques that can increase your ability to remember certain facts or events.  Certain habits can control that which plays into the way that you learn, weather you are an audio, visual, or physical learner.

It's all very interesting.

I have a pretty horrible memory. My stomach keeps me from forgetting to eat as far as that aspect goes. But thats still 4 out of 5; I guess that takes away the neat conotation of a spiritual experience from it, and ah, don't I feel niave.

Oh no, I was just going to use about 5x or 10x because it would be my first time. I'll be meditating and in a peaceful state, so I wouldn't imagine that I'll end up down the street or anything.

I don't really want to smoke it because I'm health concious, and I've also read that chewing can be more effecting because the psychoactive compound gets absorbed in greater amounts and at better rates through the oral (something) glands than as opposed to troublesomely smoking it with a torch lighter; and I don't own, nor want to get caught by my parents with, a bong, so chewing is the best option for me. I was going to make tea, but then I read that you really don't absorb the compound that way. And I've read its nice to have a sitter near by to keep watch, but I don't think its really nessecary, I'll just be in my room, so its not that big of a deal.

I've read that numerous people have had use of salvia for spiritual purposes, and I've been considering using it. I plan to meditate for a good while and then chew extract while chanting my mantra mentally and thinking of the most lovely thing I can...I could really use a good release, and this seems to be of a decent try.

There was a period that lasted for about two months that ended a few weeks ago when I was getting STRONG, and overwhelming at times, deja vu about once every two days. Then I tried to write it down everytime it happened so that I could chart it and look for patterns, but that efficiently made it dissapear. I was really very upset at this because this deja vu pattern made me feel so in tune and special. I felt as though I were feeling me and myself at once over a sequence of different times.

I recemend that none of you write down deja vu as I did, it really minimized the whole thing for me in a hurry. Perhaps if you make a concious note and do it well after the experience happens to you and then write it down, but most definently don't write it down while its happening, thats a mistake.
#21
The astral plane isn't without its own negative characteristics; perhaps you've never had a bad encounter, but in having one, you'll understand what I mean. All of the negativity you have on your back doesn't disappear whence leaving this plane, you'll take it with you, and you are carrying with you right now the negativity of times past. Carpe Diem my friend, the time is now, and not later or would be aspirations (basing just on your last few comments, I really don't no you, and its just me casting judgement).

There are "crazy mofos" in the astral realm that would rob you not for "a dollar", but for a bit of your energy. I actually find it ironically funny. But what can you do? What you can do at any time and any place, just rise above it.

I've considered most of what has been stated. I used to be satisfied with the "you live to live" definition for some time, but it really just hasn't made sense lately. What beyond the question being the answer is there?

The belief that depression and sadness don't exist of the self makes sense to an extent, and I understand that perception defines a huge amount of the human mind, but again, this for me rises above that; Creating a reality is denying the one you truly see, and the one I truly see is a mismatch of people and objects intermeshing with one another in a world that doesn't make sense, of people who don't know sense, and who need guidance but are mostly deaf to hearing it. I can search for more than that, but I won't deny it, and I won't change my opinion blatantly of what my eyes are telling me. Sometimes I wonder if its possible for humans to understand the point and meaning of life on this plane of existence; and sometimes I wonder if this plane was meant to make sense, or perhaps if  this is indeed the pergatory that catholics consider as definition.

I've always scorned cynicism, being its so presumptuous. I don't nessecarily see myself as being cynical at this point but becoming a realist with no clear picture of what to be real about. It's becoming an endless loop for me...at some point I'm either going to crack or I'm going to get better, and it really doesnt matter which, because there is never a low to far down to where one can't go back up again, but this entire proccess makes me impatient and irritated.
#24
I'm not a very depressing person and I am usually very happy, positive and content, but lately, just as what came over me a few years ago, I've been feeling very empty, dispirited and generally depressed. I am asking myself such impossible and redundant (to some degree) questions as whats the meaning of life, whats the point to going on, why can't people get along, and why can't i be happy...when you wonder these questions, just as philosophers and writes for thousands of years have been asking at certain points in their lives, it causes a shut down of casual life activities, not wanting to associate, unable to find happiness and hugely irritating despairingness. Additionally, these mindsets aren't neccesarily bad, in some cases lead to spiritual growth and understanding, but can lead to negativity, and thats definately what I don't want to happen for myself. I have no personal issues going on in my life, losses or other otherwise detrimental issue plaguing me, and yet, therein I am still feeling this sad depression (sometimes its brought on by seeing people acting negatively to others, the news, contradictions to the 'right' path, and doubts of love, because quite frankly, its aweful hard to be loving in certain situations when you are 17).

But I didn't really come on here to have any of my personal delimas discussed, but to have the one question thats bugged me the most...whats the meaning of life(if perchance meaning can be given) and moreover whats the point?

I am not ignorant of the multiverse we live in, or of individual and group paths in the spiritual world, love, forgiveness and positivity; I meditate when I can, and I avidly write down my dreams and walk my own dreamlands lucidly. I've launched an astral projection from a lucid dream before, and I have pretty good intuitive skills (I'm telling this because I just want to display that I'm not ignorant, again).

The real source of all this, I know, is from my own self doubt, and any wisdom any of you might have on displaying to me the meaning or point of living life, either here or as an astral being or in any other form...whats the point? I'm so sick of manic depression its making me sicker, if indeed that is possible.
