This is what my reiki teacher says :
"We have chosen to be physical in a physical universe. The important words here are chosen and physical. We had the choice to be non-physical but we decided against it, we wanted to experience being God through physical means.
Why therefore, having made this choice, should we then be trying to develop and experience these non-physical parts of ourselves? To us it just seems to be an unnecessary waste of energy to be focusing on something we have chosen, in the first place, not to be.
The same could be said of these people who spend their whole lives in continual meditation in some cave up a mountain in Tibet or somewhere.
Why are they doing it?
It would seem, to us, that these people - far from displaying profound spiritual understanding – are missing the point completely.
You have come to a physical universe to be physical, so BE physical.
Don't worry about all these other bodies and other planes of existence for now. They are there, and they are already a part of you. It can be no other way.
They will not disappear and your 'spirituality' will not suffer, even if you don't give them any energy at all. Far better, we think, to concentrate instead, on understanding physical life from a physical perspective.
It is, after all, the reason you came.
You see, there are too many people going around trying to be something they are not, out of a profound misunderstanding of who they are and why they are here.
They think that spiritual 'growth' has to be about withdrawing from life and that only by dedicating oneself purely to meditation, chanting, ritual, and prayer will it be possible for spiritual understanding and enlightenment to manifest itself.
Just know that none of this is necessary.
What is the point of struggling and striving to be what you already are. You already are fully enlightened for you are God. You just don't remember this fact yet, that's all. Chicara-Reiki-Do "

In the matter of treatment of so-called disease , the average metaphysician makes the mistake of dealing with the opposites , disease and health. Here are two conditions, the one to replace other. When you seek for perfection , know that it is established unto you. Exalt perfection. Perfection exists independent of both the opposites of health and disease. Perfection is an eternally established fact in principle and it is complete within itself on every so-called plane. Both health and disease are delusions according to Eastern Philosophy for they are only human concepts. For instance , your own idea of health today would not suffice you in five years from now for health is a relative idea in your own consciousness. There is nothing relative in Being , all is complete , all is perfect, and the true practitioner identifies himself with reality and does not deal with delusions.

Hello everyone ,
Astral Pulse is my favorite forum and i really enjoy and appreciate all posts and discussions made by experienced and novice equally, and I find it very beneficial and inspirational for my daily practice. Now , I am in a middle of something that requires some clarity , some real purpose to be defined in order to make sense why I am doing what I am doing.
Another words The practice of NP exploration if it lacks clear goal/purpose at some point comes to the stalemate ( unless of course you pick new goals/purpose as you move on , which is probably ideal) and then you slow down in your development and all complains about how you all of a sudden stopped projecting etc.
Of course you can read all wise books available and listen to all wise people  here on this forum or outside of it about evolving as  consciousness . learning to love etc. ,
which is perfectly fits my own understanding , but the thing is the most people only get it on intellectual level which is only small part of totality of the whole  picture.
Anyway to make a long story longer what i think it would be interesting to know is find out what  is the real goal/purpose of every Astral Pulse member /guest to explore NP , to learn to astral project . I know many of you answered this question when you joined the forum but here is the thing as you move along everything changes your vies /goals/purposes. So As of now why are you here? Do not rush with the answer , please. And the last but not the least my own answer to this question after more or less successful
year of regular projections goes " I have no idea"

Peace and Love

Hi all. I had 2 A/P this morning . one was just regular one from awake state ( intent/border/vibrations/exit) and the other one i had does not happen often , over the past 4 months i had only 3 of that kind . So I am in a dream where   i decide to go to bed ( i do not remember if i had intention to project or just to fall asleep) , then my normal (like from awake state)  A/P occurs with vibrations and exit. Everything seems the same  except that i am having a hard time to remember what i had planned to do . I tried to get more clarity and awareness by asking four questions (from Xanth's book) which usually are very helpful , but this time with no luck
because for instance to my question " where did i come from" i got the answer- the room and the bed from my dream- not my physical one.
This is not a big deal since i still can do whatever i want and get all the benefits from the experience , but i was wondering those of you guys who have experienced similar projections , is it any different for you from awake state projection ?  
Thank you.
Peace and Love.

Hi all , I have somewhat naive question which probably have been answered on this or other forum(s) .
I am not too knowledgeable in theory of AP since i have read only 2 books(completly) so far. Astral Travel and  Dreams by Belzebuub ( can't say that i liked it)
and  My Astral Projection Truth by Xanth which i think is the best read .
so my question is Can you see things on material plane when in NP/AP/LD ? Can we see physical matter with our astral eyes?
When i saw my body on a couch yesterday as I projected in (what i think at least) RTZ i had this confusion like what i am seeing .
If We can see only astral part of what is on the physical plane ( that was my understanding prior to this confusion) how come i can see me (astral part of me)
being in astral body as i project. Me astral is seeing me astral?? Does not make sense. So what exactly i am looking at when seeing my body on a couch.
Thank you in advance and sorry for my english ( not my first language)
