Thanks for further explaining and delineating your presented simulation.

I agree that experiences with nefarious and malevolent beings do not end with our physical experience here on Earth. They are in the beyond, too. I also agree generally with the proposed inter-connectedness within your simulation (without making a leap to "oneness of all after physical death").

There does seem to be a misunderstanding. My guidance isn't a belief. She is a real being who presents herself as a slim brunette female, who I have met and communicated with several times in the last year (since July 2015). My understanding is that each individual here is a physical extension of their own inner being - which is a community of beings and lifetimes or one large, timeless, complex being. This understanding is probably presented most clearly by the recent work of Frank DeMarco (e.g., Rita's World I and II).

There is certainly duality in this Earth (simulation) experience, but there are accessible higher states of being where humans can experience non-duality. A good example of this is Tom Kenyon and his work with the Hathor's "Aethos". I can speak from experience that this thing works. This is why I had a question about the scope of your comments about evil.

Overall, I think that the point where we differ is in our perceived purposes in being here in the physical. My understanding of my purpose ... I am here for the joy of the expansion of consciousness. I came here for that "ride". I did not come to redeem (be saved) ... I did not come to learn (addressing past karma) ... as a physical extension of my complex being and guidance, I came here for the joy of that expansion ... essentially the expansion of Consciousness.

Thanks for your personal response. Your attention is appreciated.

P.S. I am going to have to look up "Tipperary". 

Hi folks.

Its been a while since I posted on this forum, but I thought I would share what I have been learning in my journey through this life in relation to the true nature of this universe.

Now I am sure that most of you will probably agree with some of my points but I am interested in whether anyone might have some additional information which might be able to argue against this theory.

So...here goes.

•   The universe is a simulation.

•   Consciousness has always existed and always will exist. It had no beginning and will have no end. I call this consciousness "First Source" to denote the fundamental essence of all other types of consciousness derived from this one.

•   First Source Consciousness creates the simulations and uses these to explore and experience. This process allows FSC to imbue aspects of its self into innumerable simulations without having to leave its dominant reality of FSC.
Essentially this means that metaphorically it is Father/Mother and it is also the Children.

•   Some simulations have allowed for consciousness to focus upon, explore and experience evil expression.

•   Our simulation is a specific creation designed to place evil aspects of consciousness within for the purpose of rehabilitation from the affects caused by other simulation experiences which have promoted evil intent and malevolent behaviour.

•   Our simulation is designed to hold the evil intent in a place where it can do the least damage and has the properties necessary as a first step process toward rehabilitation of the wayward.

•   Other simulations exist to which we will eventually experience as the next step in the process of rehabilitation once we have completed the life and death sentence of this simulation.

Those are the basic points of the theory. The theory itself is the combination
of other theories and belief systems which human beings are influenced by.

"Human Beings" are evil aspects of consciousness and their forms and environment are specifically designed for the purpose of rehabilitation - the first step in the process.

These are the main points to the theory.

Hi William ...

Overall, your listing is fine. I can see that you have put some time into these questions, so thanks for sharing your work. Certainly, each of us needs some room (space) to figure things out.

I also wanted to comment that the "human beings as evil aspects of consciousness" seems rather odd from my experience. I guess that I would generally point to my own experiences in this way. While on Earth, I am (all of us are) essentially a physical extension of our inner being or higher self (whatever you want to call that non-physical part of yourself). The human is only a small part of who I am, but it is not evil or 'less than' other parts of who I am.

From my own experiences, once I met my guidance (during an OBE), I was able to begin to confirm these kinds of things for myself (and let go of several beliefs that I had at that time). So, I would encourage you to ask for assistance from your inner helpers when sorting through and forming a theoretical perspective. Overall, getting 'lined up' with the non-physical aspects of myself has been a key to understanding who I am. My own experience is that guidance is here for that reason and therefore wants to help with that (as I allow).

My primary sleep position has ALWAYS been on my side, so when attempting an OBE or projection I start on my back with an extra pillow behind my head to prop up my body a bit more. If I move to my side during the process of projection, I always fall asleep.

I agree with Szaxx's suggestion that you will need to experiment a bit to see what works for you (it is worth the extra effort).

Hi all !

I read the first book of R.Monroe but someone here said (frank if i remember well ?) Monroe declared "he actually never left his body" in his last two books saying it was more of a 180° phase's change...

So as i did not read his last two books; can you guys confirm me this affirmation and explain what he really experienced ?

Also i want to know of course if there is a consensus on this Monroe topic.

Thanks for your light.

Monroe did start out using the term "out of body" and continued to use this term until his death. The Monroe Institute still uses this term.

I can understand why the label "out of body" can be confusing to newer practitioners, because there is a question whether we actually leave the body or not within the OBE community. For example, Robert Bruce suggests (strongly) that we are "projecting a double". Bruce also holds forth that we do not actually leave the body until death. I mention this so that you know that there is some disagreement about this in the OBE community (not a consensus).

Back to Monroe and his specific techniques. As Monroe had more experiences, he developed and improved upon his methods. These newer methods did change the language and words that he used to describe his non-physical experiences. One of these improvements included what he called the "quick switch" method. Near the end of his life, this is the only method that he used. And yes, the quick switch is much closer to what many here at the Astral Pulse call "phasing". And ... Monroe did mention this method in his later books. So, yes, you could generally hold forth that Monroe went from OBE's to phasing (using quick switching as his primary method).

In addition, Kepple and Monroe were each trained as engineers, so each of them explained phasing in those terms and in a similar way. Monroe likened our consciousness to a radio dial, so when you go somewhere else you are basically changing "your radio station". He called these changes "focuses" or "focus levels" ... and so did Kepple (eventually). This is where your reference to Monroe's "180 degree phase change" becomes relevant. HOWEVER, just note that Kepple's focus levels ended up not matching Monroe's focus levels (e.g., they are numbered differently). Near the end of his life, Kepple attempted to redefine his "4 focus levels of consciousness" because he felt that his experiences were a bit different from Monroe's.

When starting out with something new, it is not uncommon to start getting pulled in many directions ... especially things that appear controversial (e.g., think of this as attraction). When you have unbalanced feelings, you can attract more of this kind of stuff. For myself, I usually quiet myself and meditate (first) when I begin experiencing these feelings. Additionally, when feeling unbalanced, I like this reminder from Eckhart Tolle ...

"Worry pretends to be necessary"

As I look back at my non-physical experiences now, I cannot remember an experience that did not end without my emotions getting unbalanced and thus ending the experience. It is a self-created barrier or exit. Only you can address your fears ... and this is often what our non-physical experiences are about ... expanding beyond human fear.

Your experience with your daughter may have been a pre-cognitive experience or remote viewing or something else, I am not sure that matters. You were focused into the non-physical, expanded and then recognized (became conscious of) that. This is what matters. You had a conscious experience (good for you!). Journal this experience, so you can learn what is needed (and into the future).

The TMI materials and classes are very well thought out and based upon the experiences of thousands of people. I would place your attention (e.g., focus) and attraction (e.g., desire) there - not upon various YouTube controversies. If worry distracts you, then remind yourself that it is "pretending to be necessary".

From a non-physical perspective ... "All is always well." ...

Welcome, Francisco!

Hi all, this has been on my mind for a while.   Energy work might be fun and interesting but apart from that what use is doing energy work?   You might say it heals your body.   I have cured illnesses by good thoughts so I do not have to do energy work.   I read on a forum that Robert Bruce says it is good to do energy work to evolve.   It sounds vague to me.

I was generally not sure about the usefulness of energy work (via the chakras) until I was exposed to two sources. Each is free and available on the Internet. What distinguishes these resources from others that I have read is their 'non-physical perspective'.

First, the Miranon recordings at the Monroe Institute (which I have discussed elaborately here on other threads) provided my first non-physical explanation of the chakras and their general purpose. Explorer recordings 5, 6, 13 and 14 compose a series of interviews with Miranon - a non-physical being from level 46. Tapes 6 and 13 specifically address the human's non-physical chakras in some detail, but listening to all the recordings will help both with context (the Universe's structure of 7's) and a human understanding. Listen to the recordings sequentially here:

https://www.monroeinstitute.org/free-audio-downloads

Second, the work of Tom Kenyon has been very helpful to me. The higher dimensional beings who Kenyon works with consistently acknowledge the utility and purpose of the chakra system. These beings (especially the Hathors) provide chakra-focused exercises and meditations which I have very beneficial.

tomkenyon.com

I warn you that there is a steep learning curve with Kenyon's materials. He goes to great effort to document not only the instructions provided by the higher dimensional beings but also his own perspectives as a psychotherapist and researcher.

I want to also note that the chakra system is a different focus than our aura, which is characterized by an expanded light around our physical body. I know this because I have had conversations with someone who can physically see auras (e.g., Jonas Elrod), and he sees something much different than the chakras. While these two energy systems are related, do not confuse the two. Overall, chakra energy work (e.g., 7 levels along the pranic channel) has given me a common construct or format to flow, release or clear blocked energy - especially as I focus beyond 'physical perspectives'. You can also "charge up your energies" using the chakra system, and the ancient Egyptians had some particular interesting sexual practices for charging up this energy system. There are many (outer) motivations for using the chakras.

Finally, in working with the chakras, I have found in my out of body experiences that a focus on the chakras consistently projects me into the RTZ (real time zone). If there is a mapping of the levels of consciousness, this is closest level to physical reality (e.g., lowest). In some contrast, the Monroe Institute focuses its first time students upon building up energy using the "aura" (called REBAL technique). So, this gives you some idea about the chakra's usefulness with projecting. It can help, but it usually places me at the lowest entry into the non-physical.

Overall, Chakras are real from my experience, but I doubt that they look like all the pictures of "7 glowing colors lined up in a body" that we commonly see on the Internet (although I have not seen mine or others).

Love that quote Lumaza, it fits beautifully.

As to the religion, I definitely do not want a religious discussion. I think we are all past that mostly. What I am looking for though is that I do not think religion is the problem or ever has been sooo... what is the problem that created this symptom.  In other words what is it about this physical form that makes any of us past or present believe we need these beliefs (whatever they are) in the first place.

Where does that need come from? It's okay if no one wants to touch this. I've no idea what more I could add myself. Just my thoughts spinning.

Religion is man-made ... it is a "physically manifested" creation. However, it certainly is awkward and confusing that religion is often man's attempt to focus what is referred to here as "non-physical". This makes the discussion about religion rather prickly, and this is why beliefs often become "gooey glue" with us getting stuck in a particular thought or thought pattern.

Regarding our relationship with the non-physical (our inner being) ... on a daily basis we are in alignment then out of alignment ... in alignment then out of alignment ... in alignment then out of alignment ... BUT there is no set back in any of this. We are extended here at the edge of thought ... of creation.

I like what Szaxx wrote to you. I would add that there are also "inner or non-physical" influences. Some have pointed to these as past lives or the soul, but my sense is that the non-physical energies influencing us are much more complex than what we traditionally accept as a "soul". This is why I have accepted the nomenclature of "complex being". Frank DeMarco's books (Rita's World I and II) discuss this.

Recently (last Monday) guidance gave me a response to a question (a frustration) that I had ... I was talking rather boldly to them as I sensed that I was being laughed at or made fun of (which I guess is to be expected when I get out of alignment ... as I was) ... but the metaphor that they gave me was that 'I am the captain of my own mystery ship'. I loved this ... because there is always an element of mystery ... in us ... in our collective group dynamics ... in the Universe.

Finally, I can offer an affirmation or balm for your questioning and 'problem focus' on this thread ... "The better I feel the more allow" ... so look for things that make you feel good. If this thread makes you feel good, then you are already on your way.  

Thanks for this, Szaxx.

And Subtle Traveler, what about the vast majority "here" on Earth, and those who are trapped in the NP in their belief systems and who are coming back constantly here because they are in addiction?

No one is trapped here. The earth planet is not 'rehab' for people attracted to their belief systems (e.g., that is a belief system itself). We have discussed these points before.

With powerful and clear intent, we each (all 7 billion of us) have come forth (a choice) as a physical extension of our non-physical aspects. Before we came here, we were deserving. While we are here, we are deserving. After we transition, we will remain deserving. As an extension of Source (or whatever someone calls that for themselves), we are always deserving.

Consciousness is continually expanding. My non-physical aspects support my expansion here. I am here for the joy of this expansion. It is what I am attracted to, and therefore, it gets my focus.

Robert Monroe also spoke about different locale states. Would you agree that we can focus on going into the future? A relative of mine was diagnosed with a 6.7cm mass. However, the biopsy is still awaiting testing. In this stage, Tom Campbell would argue that intent can change probability..is it possible to see the future or outcome?

There is an older group of remote viewers who still hang around the Monroe Institute. Skip Atwater (who oversaw the military's special unit of remote viewers back in the 80's and 90's) still helps out at TMI. He was the director of TMI for several years. I have noticed that many remote viewers are able to see future events.

As far as TMI's focus levels and Monroe's locales, I would not get too caught up in focus levels and locales yet. You still need to learn some basic techniques for remote viewing or whatever method you decide to pursue. Realize that you are now generally getting an expanded physics lesson from Campbell and an introduction from Monroe. Have you considered just going to the Monroe Institute to learn?

If you are not ready for TMI, I would search the archives here at Astral Pulse for your specific points of interest (e.g., out of body, remote viewing, visualization).

If you are a consistent clairvoyant, you may be able to immediately learn the future about your relative. Intention is absolutely an important element in that process. However, first I would sit down and ask your guidance (inner being) for assistance with starting that process. Start there. It's easy - just ask and then hold the intention to listen for an answer.

Hey Abdo:

When I started out, I was not very skilled at visualization. So, I looked for alternatives. Lumaza's comment to you about "tactile approaches" is very good. Blind people have used tactile approaches to successfully project beyond the body. I would also suggest reading this overview from William Buhlman:

www.astralinfo.org/astral-projection-methods/

It has a useful perspective, and includes both visual and non-visual techniques. Affirmations are one of the techniques that I now use regularly after reading this. You may also want to look at Buhlman's "Exploration Mindset" on his web site (it is very powerful inner work).

I will "ramble" that out of body experiences are not why we are here. Being more non-physical is not the goal. The goal is to temporarily be physical - as an extension of the broader, non-physical part of ourselves. Then we "croak" and we are completely non-physical, which is then more purposeful, because we are slightly different than before we came here.

I like Frank DeMarco's recently discovered term for this. We are "complex beings".

I would hold forth that if someone is interested (e.g., desire) in projection or OBE's, then that can be one of the purposes or reasons that they are here - to explore their multi-dimensionality from a physical perspective. However, the primary reason to be here is not to redeem, to learn, etc. It is most simply to enjoy the expansion of consciousness into physical reality. I do think that many in the OBE community overlook these points.

I understand what you are saying about levels (e.g., focuses) but that is all conceptual for me. When it comes to levels beyond the astral, I cannot speak from conscious experience. So, I am leaving your primary question to someone like Szaxx, EV, Lumaza and others with that experience.

No. That's not what I am saying.

I can point to it this way. The human is a small part of who I am. When I have had conscious (even semi-conscious) experiences that transcend time, they always start with mind (consciousness) and often begin in a dream state. In these moments of perception, I am engaged with the broader part of myself (not the smaller part which is asleep). Because they come in dream form, I feel that they need to be confirmed.

When I eventually experienced the predicted event in de-limited time, my physical mechanisms (biological brain) simply needed to confirm the experience. The mind is active also, but because I am awake I have found that I need to let the biological brain have its moment.

I am pointing to a pre-cognitive or clairvoyant experience here. This is something that I have intermittently experienced. If you look at Sacolucci's original question here, you can see what I am responding to. She asked about several types of experiences which involve transcending time. I wanted to assure her that these things can happen, and that an analysis of all the possible futures is not needed for that.

Beliefs. I do what I can to avoid beliefs. One way I do this is to share direct, confirmed experiences. I am not engaging in debate as much as I am attempting to bring an understanding.

Free will arguments I don't really care about. It is a distraction because it often becomes theoretical.

Xanth, you are a good moderator. You ask good questions.

The consciousness system is capable of making predictive forecasts, but it doesn't know what future will be _for certain_ actualized. If it did, there would be nothing new to learn from us being here to live it.

Yes, I already know this as your perspective. This is why I spoke up, and pointed to your physical perspective (e.g., biological). Realize that Consciousness has no time limitations. It is NOT physical.

Consciousness (inner being or guidance) knows from my experience. It is not limited by time. It is the biological brain that is the mechanism which segments our human experience into delimited, time fragments.

So, there is clairvoyance (a knowing of the future) as Szaxx pointed to.

You're welcome ST.

If the MAC address has anything to do with it it's outside of moderators jurisdiction lol. The IP may be a new addition if used by spammers, I'd think this unlikely though as you will already know, however we do have a few notorious IP adds that are covered by a blanket ban. It's this aspect I was chasing as it can be easily solved.

I fixed it. Everything is working now.

Hi Sacolucci ...

These are good questions. Yes, to ... remote viewing, seeing future events, etc. This is possible, and you do not have to go to the Monroe Institute to learn this stuff (although they are very good at what they do).

Some of the practices you are asking about do require new skills, lots of preparation, a well-practiced technique, and/or sustained focus. Realize that Monroe was going out of body for 15 years before he even started to formally train others at the Monroe Institute. However, the same energy that guided Monroe in his travels wants to guide you too (and everyone else here).

I like what Lumaza said to you. He is very good.

Hmm, I am not sure what you two are getting at when say that you in fact will not only be able to see probable futures.

Having some, or many even, validated future precognition events is well and truly permitted under the umbrella of probable futures. They are still just probable futures that did actualise this time.

For every successful precognition there are many that turn out to be wrong. A skilled, or perhaps an intuitive or lucky viewer, may witness a very probable future but that doesn't make it predetermined.

If you witnessed a future event of yourself dying in a car accident that you intended on taking tomorrow - would you choose to die in order to make the vision true?

My understanding is that the principle of free will in consciousness prevents truly deterministic predictions from being accessed. They are only ever probable while free will is involved.

Thomas ...

You are still in your head (e.g., biological brain). The spaciousness of the consciousness is where we have our experiences - NOT biological brain, theorizing possible futures, etc. I also shared how I validated my own experience, so your logic and criticisms about that make no sense (e.g., senseless).

Realize that I have attempted to share with you here from my own conscious experience (for the benefit the person starting this thread). That was my intent. I am not theorizing possible future outcomes. I have lived it, and I am sharing from that personal experience.

In stating this, I do not expect you to have the same experiences that I do. I am stepping back from our discussion, as you try to move this to a debate. I can see that you are not getting it.

Does the Ooma have a different IP address? If so it can be at least checked on the Pulses database.

Yes, I think so. The network gives a slightly differing IP to each device on the network. It is difficult to get this information, so I was planning on doing this work over the weekend.

I know the Ooma has a different MAC address. Does the AP software system block MAC addresses?

Thanks for your consideration and response, Szaxx! I will collect up my information and forward it to both you and Ryan privately. I will make sure to provide both the MAC address and IP address.

To project into the future you just have to get out of body and remember your goal. Once you are there place a strong and specific intent to witness the most probable future at a given point in time.

You will only ever be able to see probable futures like a weather forecast - there is no viewing the "real" future.

I have to disagree with this also (along with Szaxx).

I have had non-lucid dreams that presented pre-cognitive material and then two months later the real life event shows up in my physical life. I mentioned this, because the level of lucidity or awareness is always lower in the non-lucid dream state (e.g., foggy). So, these experiences can happen without lucidity.

Focus remains important from my experience. Also, I used the successive physical experience as a validation of the dream content in these cases (e.g., reducing false conclusions about these types of dreams). Validation is important to me. I also toss many experiences into the "unanswered box" (like Szaxx implies).

To make this work (whether out of body or not), what I find most important in these circumstances is a conscious recognition and acknowledgment of the eventual "information download" ... which can be a verbal message, a story picture (like the experience I mention above), a particular sound in the dream, etc. This is where I need to remain open - not limiting the possibilities of how, where or when the requested download of future information is shared.

Overall, my experience is if we go into these experiences with mentally, "physically-prescribed" limitations ... they will be limited! That is usually because the biological brain is being given too much credit.

I got it fixed. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi ST,
I wonder if your IP address is blocked, you'd see some kind of message I'd guess if so. Xanth will know more, if it's an old banned one and your router is setup as dynamic it may have stumbled upon one. A switch off and disconnect from power for a few mins sorts this.

Probably not the IP address of my PC ... I have 10 or 11 devices connected to the home network all the time. None of them were able to access the AP site (several computers, tablets and even a Wifi Phone).

I am typing here now from the PC I normally use. The only change that I have made today is to take the Ooma device out of the network configuration in my home office. So, I am fairly certain that the Ooma device is the 'problem point'. It does have its own IP address, so maybe that single IP address is being blocked somehow now by AP.

One thing that might help here is understanding that my Ooma device gets the Internet traffic and signal first (before it goes to the router and broadcasts to the other devices on the network). This is done, so phone calls get priority (and get to the right place).

Have you found the two different ways of thinking yet anyone?
The standard thought process is when a problem is presented, you recall from memory the answer or how to work it out. In this you are in the immediate forefront of the physical world, well grounded if you like.
The second thought process is where you disconnect from the physical and you are fully aware but inside your body which feels like having a warm blanket around you.
The depth of thoughts here is very powerful and you can solve far greater problems and receive insights or answers from just being here. It's very similar to being close to the exit point when phasing.

I am quoting Szaxx here ... but I am kind of responding to the whole thread.

Szaxx - Yes. This is my experience. And, we perceive it physically kind of like a "two way street" - one lane leading to the physical and the other leading to the non-physical. Kenyon refers to what you are pointing to as the "fifth state".

Thread - This brings up another topic (related to this discussion) for me. I will point to this "two way street" with this rough metaphor - we are like "a bridge between the physical and non-physical". However, because there is often a perception of motion in our experiences, the "two lanes" metaphor may be a better pointer.

What works pretty well for me is to acknowledge this about myself ... I am a physical extension of my non-physical aspects so that consciousness can expand here into the physical. I am not here to redeem, learn (addressing past karma) or remember more than I can currently remember. I am here for the joy of expansion (of consciousness).

Additionally, my non-physical aspects (guidance) can benefit from my extension here into the physical. The non-physical can experience the physical (via their extension). This is a key element of the two way street that I refer to (e.g., I am not the only beneficiary). This is why I think that Szaxx's comment is so instructive to the discussion here.

Xanth:

I was going to start a new thread about my recent problem, but instead I'll just place it here. About 4 to 5 weeks ago, I was online posting my last comment here and the site looked like it went down. After being told by Lumaza that the site was working for him, I have since figured out that the problem is on my end.

My Ooma device, which I keep connected in a home office with the modem and router, appears to be blocking the Astral Pulse site (singularly). I get to any other site on the Internet, and I have been testing these premises for about a month now. I removed my Ooma this morning so I could log on and post this message.

Do you know of any particular conflicts between Ooma and software underlying the Astral Pulse forums? I am asking because I have already searched the Simple Machines forum and site for answers ... which did not provide any. Thank you for your consideration.

Stillwater (and everyone else) ... thanks for responding.

We can always deduce (e.g., biological brain) but experiencing is what takes practice (e.g., mind detached from brain) ... and with "focus" we can experience aspects of the vastness of total reality for ourselves. I liked the story above about the traveler (LightBeam) getting kicked out of a consensus reality - it demonstrates both the expansion and limits before us.

From my experience, we can do other things while in the physical - like interact with non-physical beings who can answer some of these questions for us. I am currently reading two books by Frank DeMarco (Rita's World) where he daily (in present day) has a 6 month conversation with friend, Rita Warren, who transitioned in 2008. It provides many answers to the process and questions that you have started in this thread. You may be interested in that ($6 in Kindle format for each book). DeMarco is the former editor and creator of Hampton Roads Publishing.

We are not stuck with the materialist viewpoint (this is one of the bigger lies of the physical). I also have to strongly disagree with many here that we cannot know about the non-physical (bad premise). We obviously do NOT understand all of it, but even non-physical beings have admitted that they do not understand all of it (see Miranon recordings at the Monroe Institute). However, we can understand elements or parts of it. Some truths (e.g., like the physical and non-physical are one thing) can be derived from these efforts.

One thing that I know for sure ... I cannot re-learn or remember or experience anything without non-physical help (e.g., guidance, higher self, other parts of me, past non-physical relationships). Therefore, to answer your posed question, I would hold forth that you will need to include a continued discussion about guidance here. My own premise (bias, if you prefer) is that answers will not arrive without that kind of help, but many here also have lots of 'experience' with that.
