Welcome to Astral Chat! / A philosophical Question!
December 30, 2011, 10:38:53
 Past month I have started my journey to the metaphysical world, I have read articles, analyzed ideas, made complex thoughts and I even tried to do an  OBE (sadly with no success).

  Over this period of time many questions have arose inside of me as, does there really exist a metaphysical realm? Is it in our heads or in a different reality? Is this different state of consciousness a different being (A soul), or is it us in just a different state of being?
   However there is one particular thought that I cant get out of my head, there is one though that messes it all up. I will try to express it and analyze it in hope you could enlighten me and we all could have a better understanding of the metaphysical.

:Prerequisites:
  Lets say there is a metaphysical realm, lets say it exist in some other dimension/reality and in thas reality exist our true self, lets say in this physical world our bodies and our brain is a vessel that helps our true self gain experiences he otherwise could not obtain, that helps our true self grow up.

 
   When did this celestial being occupy the human bodies? Was it always inside of us ? Did it always use us to gain experience? If the answer is yes,then it means we had a higher self when we where Homosapiens, it means that we had a "soul" when we where fish swimming in the prehistoric ocean, Hell!! It means we had an inner consciousness when we where just atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen... Does this mean all things have souls? If yes then this laptop I am writing from has a soul as well... It has multiple parts does it have multiple souls? Is there one on the keyboard and one in the processor? Can a laptop be conscious? Can it have an OBE?... Does every atom has a soul? Or is it all just ONE SOUL for everyone if yes aren't these guides we meet in an OBE actually us? If it is all us? Can we actually gain new experiences?
   
    What is a soul, what is this higher self, this true self everyone is talking about? Is it a godlike creature? Are we a god? Do we need all these experiences to become a god?

  I could be here for Hours and hours writing about the possibilities , what "could be" but everytime I find an answer I find a flaw among it... Please! I need some enlightenment

Hello , this is my first post.

I just wanted to introduce myself becouse I have the feeling  I will be spending quite a lot of time in here.
So my name is Billy and I am a 19 year old from Greece, I have been interested in OBE's for quite a lot of time , however I never found
the time to commit to a lifestyle that would be focusing on OBE's. But now I realise almost noone else but monks can really have that kind of a lifestyle.

Thats why I wanted to ask how do you think I sould start in order to have some continuous progress? For now all I have done is read some articles and tried to meditate sometimes with no succes of OBE's (I have had lucid dreams though). Should I keep on like that? Also I am a student and I do live a students life... I get drunk sometimes among other things, could that slow down the progress singnificaly? Is it a neccesity to start a comepletely diferent lifestyle in order to have progress?

Thank you in advance, and I wish I learn manny things from you, as you learn things from me :)
