A while ago, even before I knew about the Astral or ANY of this, I had a dream I was on my old road I used to live on, then I walked around and it went into a normal dream, but it was REALLY vivid, much more than normal.  And just friday I walked down that road, I had forgotten all about the dream but as soon as I took a left onto it and looked down it WHAM! It hit me, It was EXACTLY the same, to the house, tree, everything.  And The other night I dreampt I was on my roof and could make noises, I could hear, normally I don't hear things in my dreeams, I was standing on my roof, right next to the window I was sleeping by stomping and distinctly remember the noise.  There are 2 old dreams I remember to be the most vivid I have ever had, and one was of a beautiful house, like an old ranch with a garden on top of a mountain in a feild and all around was nothing but the canopy of lower mountains.  And I talked to this girl.  When I was there it was like it was pure joy. The other dream, might not have even been on earth! I was in a forest again and saw a bright multicolored ufo. Yes UFO.  And there was a giant multicolored house, I allways dream in color but this was really colorful.  And I remember someone telling me about the UFO as it flew above the forest slowly away from the giant house, I say Giant I mean like 10x bigger than any mansion.  I dunno, could I be remembreing real time projections where I didnt know I was dreaming? But In 2 of them someone was talking to me? If this was the case who were they, But the girl was distinct, not something I imagined, It's starnge.  Inexplicable.  thoughts?

I know this sounds kinda odd but I normally sleep with my eyes partially open, allways have. Its cause i have less "slack" skin around my eyes so its more comfortable to have them kinda open. ANYWAYS I often find myself with my eyes open when i meditate and it's hard to concentrate when i have to regulate my eyes as well as my mind.  And if i turn off the lights it really doesn't help in the day. And at night if  i do i would just fall asleep..... Thoughts/suggestions?

Don't believe we've met before, but hello.  Major changes... can't say there are any.  Still just a hand full of intelligent individuals who are generally trying to discover truth.  But most of the time it's the matrix this and the demon war of 2012 that, same old hoopla.  I wouldn't mind seeing what you have to say about end days.  I myself have also read a few things regarding such!  Welcome back.  Maybe you can take my place, I think I'll get away from it all for a while.  The forum is beginning to make me a little synical, and I don't think I like that idea.

Welcome to Metaphysics! / *Exodus 2006*

Hmmm, I do hope your right, but I allways look at all those "prrophecies" people have about each year as a new one unfolds and nothing ever happens, however, this 2012 thing, whatever it may be, has been going on so long and most of the predictions are made up, i know, they mostly deal with the same things.  Even the Mayan calendar stops, at 2012.  There has to be something.  And this exodus page says that the reason we are getting these bible codes so late is that only the people who really look into this stuff will know what will happen, and will be ready so soon.  I don't know.  But it gives me a small case of the jibblies.[:P]  But yea Timeless, that is reassuring, but I do think that your seeings are one of the futures there could be, just like you said.  Not the only one.

Thats between OBE and dream. I had an OBE last night which included a man with very white skin who gave me REAL pain. I ran from him for a minute, but then remembered how to get rid of him. I allowed him to give me all the pain he wanted to and didnt resist. A few seconds later, the pain got weaker and I told him he had to leave. I pointed my hand at him and made him shrink to nothing. Then I tried to create a different person but instead he came back the same way in reverse, so I did the same thing to him again. Then I got naked and strieked in the city I found outside the building we were in...

Sorry everyone.... ugh... this was supposed to be in the "recent quality of posts" If you delete it mods or admins ill repost.  Sorry, It messed up, or I did.  [xx(]

Wow, that is umm.. different.  I've never seen the movie but now am motivated to watch it.  In that article, the person never states the disaster that happened in that town he described, nor does he give much grounds for his theories.  I would like to know what happened to the guy that was studying that phenomenon in the town and would also like to see more reports of similar occurances.

So does this entity of some sort help people to try and stop the impending disaster?  Then what explains all the mutalited animals and stuff?  Maybe it's a secret government test considering all the lights in the sky or whatever...   My biggest question is how an etheric/astral entity is able to materially manifest in the physical world.  Perhaps they are just illusions....

Instant Past Life Regression - No Trance Required

I was in the employ of a UK adult education college at one time and was asked to do a course on Hypnosis – BUT I was not to do any hypnosis with anyone, nor hypnotise anyone because that was too dangerous and they didn't want to take the risk. It was also something to do with the very strange regulations that exist in the UK for the use of public buildings for hypnotist performances and group hypnosis;  either way, I was faced with the bizarre challenge how to conduct a hypnosis training but without hypnosis.

So what I did was to teach all the hypnotic inductions, from relaxation to guided meditation and then also rapid inductions as "self hypnosis" – I taught the class how to do it for themselves whilst I stood and watched them do it.

They got very good at it and we would then play with the trance phenomena and had a great time, until one stormy night, with Past Life Regression on the menu, the door opened and a number of principals from the college walked in and told me they had come to observe the class to make sure that absolutely no hypnosis was taking place, even by accident.

Oh dear. What was I going to do? I was in no doubt that the principals would have a fit if I instructed my class to put themselves into a near coma with the use of a set of beads each or a pendulum they were holding themselves and it was then that my unconscious mind, ever helpful and nicely riding in to the rescue with some very unusual suggestions when those are needed, invented for me ...

"Instant Past Life Regression  – No Trance Required."

This is a great little game and a wonderful party trick. You can play it with anyone at all who can answer these questions even just with a nod or shake of head; it is very quick and very effective.

The only rules are:

1.      Don't think about it;

2.      Answer as quickly as you can;

3.      If you don't know, just guess or make it up. 


Are you ready to elicit an Instant Past Life without any form of hypnosis?

Let's go: 

Were you male of female?
Your job or work?
Your father?
Your mother?
Any children?
Sisters?
Brothers?
Your house or home?
Where in the world?
When in time?
How old when you died?
What did you die of?
  
For the purposes of this exercise, I just did this and these were my answers on this particular occasion:

Male, soldier, don't know my father, mother died when I was young, might have children but don't know any, no sisters, two brothers I remember, live with my regiment in a tent or barracks, Southern India, 1820, died age 32 of a lance wound to the chest that pierced a lung.

This set of answers, like your set of answers, is only the beginning. You can now take any part of this and refine it with further questions.

As you do so, please note that more and more detail comes to light, and the rough sketch above is beginning to be filled in and fleshed out as you give more attention to detail. There comes a point in this process when there is a shift and the whole mental construct that is being created becomes very real, indeed. 

Refining The Construct

Here are some questions about our unfolding character:

How tall?
Hair colour?
Hair style?
Eye colour?
Skin tone?
Anything striking about appearance?
Any other identifying features?
Clothing?
Footwear?
Underwear?
Unique decorations/jewellery?
Important possessions?
Anything else that's important to know about? 
 
My own soldier was close to 6 feet tall, had brown hair that was a little curly and worn in a pig tail, his eyes were brown and he had fair skin with a slightly yellowish cast. He had had chickenpox badly as a child and the skin on his face was rough and full of little scars. A previous injury had left him with a "frozen shoulder" on the left side and he would wear a small package made of wool under his clothes around that area at all times. He was wearing dark brown trousers, boots and a black/charcoal grey (probably faded) jacket at the time of his death and an off white plain linen shirt. His only important possession was a small knife thing you use to get stones out of a horse's hoof he was wearing around his neck on a leather band that had been given to him by a good friend when he was much younger.  

As you can see, even at this second level of questioning we find some very intriguing detail, such as the knife thing – I do believe there is a name for it but I can't remember what it might be and only "saw" the object during the exercise. We also have entry points into some other story lines here – what happened to the friend? Where did the old injury occur? – and that's after perhaps five minutes and the most basic of questions one could ask to get to know any individual across time or space.

The Levels Of Reality

As we get more and more information, the person is taking on more and more and life. Here in brief are the levels through which the person becomes manifest and real, as it were:

Generic Information
The first level of reality is generic information to provide the base structure to a construct – who, what, where, when. At this point, your creation is still fairly nebulous and lacks personality which comes with:

Individual Information
The second level of reality which is specific information about that individual construct (person, countryside, event, creature etc) – what is unique about this, what catches your attention, what makes it stand out.

General (Overall) Time Line
The third level of reality is added with the temporal aspects – how did this come to be? What happened? What will happen in the future? This brings the creation to life and makes it very real indeed – it now has a future, a present and a past.

Specific Incidents Remembered

The more you focus in on any aspect of the time of the life of your person the more detail will be provided until you have actual associated first person memories of the events, entirely detailed and entirely real.

101 Uses For Personal Development

This basic pattern has innumerable uses.

The first is of course in the context of personal development and past life regression. Regardless of whether one might view past life regression as real memories of past lives or metaphorical re-inactments of problems in this one, either way the challenges offered need to be resolved and this is a particularly exciting and fascinating way of making real, true and lasting changes in ones life.
Even people who don't usually respond to "guided meditations" can work this pattern through to get extremely specific and associated memories, events and unfoldments to work with and to use for problem resolution.

Another major use for this pattern is of course in the context of creativity - fiction, character development, finding materials and inspiration for all forms of works of art. It is basically a foolproof generator for events, stories, situations that can provide much more material than anyone could work up or out in a single life time.

It is particularly interesting to consider this pattern in terms of Project Sanctuary events and can also be employed for developing other things besides characters, such as habitats, alien societies, objects that have never been or have been forgotten, and all manner of other uses.

Whether you are going to play it as a game at a party, use it to amuse yourself and your children on a long car journey or for serious personal development and making changes to the very structure of your personality, it is a fascinating pattern that is always interesting and begins to soften and expand the channels and pathways of your mind.

Shawn : Have you tried contacts?  Mine suck, but maybe you'll have better luck, considering I'm pretty much blind.  Stupid eyes.

I read somewhere that our eyes go blurry sometimes because they are used in that position for so long.  So if you move them to the left or right a bit, or even down or up, it seems to actually blur less.

And as for the KI ball.  I always train at night, and about 15 minutes into it you can tell the room gets brighter.  When it was relatively bright, I held my hands with the ki ball up to see if i could see the shadow of the ball.  I'm relatively sure I did.  Whenever I held it over my eyes, it got a bit darker.  Perhaps you could verify using that?

Ughh... I feel like Neo from the Matrix. I'm not sure whether I believe this or not... Let's just say I'd have to see it for myself. I'm not saying there's no way it exists, but I would rather see it before I believe it. Aucom's Razor is a good way to start out when proving something. Well, at one point the earth was thought to be flat. Now it is thought to be round. What doesn't make sense to me is that if the earth was hollow, then how is it that astronauts saw it from space as round? And where does lava come from? And how come satellites didn't pick up those small holes on the North and South poles? That's it, I'm going to be a hermit and live in some shack in the deep uncharted wilderness of Canada.

hmm... there must be some seriously complicated quantum physics involved here if in fact this is true. All kinds of twists and mutilations to the time-space continuum fabric.

I think lot's of people use this ability...to heal, not hurt. Even more so than Psychic Attack.  It's just so much more sensational to talk about getting attacked and what to do about it!!! but just like in everyday life some people are out for themselves and don't want anything to do with you if you don't have something they want. SO it is on a psychic level as well. some people are just a**holes. And again it is so much funner to read about possession and attack rather than hippy happy healing and helping. It's like people that watch race cars to see the wrecks. You know what I mean??? But there is just as much good as bad out there. People just eat this stuff up!!!

How do you go from wanting to learn the basics to learning advanced skills so quickly? It is not like a textbook you pick up and read from cover to cover. When you start at the beginning and do practices to cultivate energy, you become a different person. Learning about energy leads to learning about the elements. Then you can learn to control them. By that time you are a much different person than the one who set out to learn.

Welcome to Metaphysics! / Theories on Predesination
February 21, 2003, 14:53:02
I believe in predestination.  About the free will, I kind of look at it as "localized" free will.  This means, because we don't know the future, to us it looks like we are making the choices, but the universe/God/Higher Power already knows what choices we're going to make.  I don't know if that came off sounding like I meant it to.  Basically, some would say this means we only have the illusion of free will, but I say we're still making hte choices, even if someone else knows what were going to choose.  

Look at it like this:  If you watch a movie, and someone asked you if your closest friend would like it, you could probably tell them correctly whether they would or not, because you know them so well.  Now I think the universe/God/Whatever knows us as well as or better than we know ourselves, so it knows what choices we will make.

Long post but I think it needed some explanation.

How did you get interested in swords? I took fencing awhile. Did I enjoy it, no. :-) Was I knighted? no, I was spanked by my instructor daily! Every time I didn't do a swing right. I couldn't understand his French at the time. I was 17 then.

Welcome to the Healing place! / Help my parents?

It is never wise to try to be the best...

...all anyone must do is be their best. Do your own personal best anf try to explain to your parnents that that is what you are doing, and be sure to go about this explaining in a calm and nice way, hostile approaches will only get you hostile responces. And besides, most of the things they teach you in school is based on conventionality...

...and the minute you question this conventionality, they fail you. That is why it is always important to go with your own feelings, listen to what your spirit tells you because that is the way things are. Try also to explain that to your parents.
Oh, and one more thing, don't ever contemplate killing yourself, especially when there is not true reason (which in most cases there is not) behind it. There is a possibility you would just end up back on this planet for another lifetime...
Hope this helps you in some way.

Do they acctually GUARD you? I mean If they have their own lives and what is there to guard? I never see guardian angles saving people from being killed or falling of cliffs? What exactly are they and do?

hello   shawn

ive  realised  after  countless failed projection training  sessions that it  is  the  core skills  that  Robert  describes in  Astral Dynamics  that  i have not yet mastered

if  you havent read it  yet  (do so asap) here are the skills.

deep relaxation
taming the mind
the trance state

the  more farmiliar i  became with  my  projection  routine  the more  i realised that i was  completely  useless at these skills.

Now  i  am  starting again,  and i intend to master these skills.

So,   the point is, have  you mastered these skills yet ???
if  you havent,  you  should work on them-   i know that  they are helping me a lot!

i  know  through experience that  you wont project  at all if  your tense.  

And  it  was losing  my  focus/concentration  that    ended  my  2  OBE'S  and the  several lucid dreams ive had-  all down  to an untamed mind.
