It's called a false awakening. You can have one or more in a row.

Show posts MenuQuoteAccording to Robert Bruce's "Astral Dynamics", your flashes could be your 3'rd eye "getting ready" ie. trying to start up. (It feel's like a stroboscope flashing in your mind/eyes).
Quote from: Volgerle on March 23, 2011, 11:18:50Very good point, I think you may be right. Although I haven't read Moen and Leland yet. I've read some books of 2 Dutch authors and one German. The next time I read them I will take some notes about their beliefs/experiences so I can really find and remember the differences and similarities in their descriptions. Hmm, I have a lot of reading to do.
Ask yourself: are they REALLY saying so different things? Or just the same (or at least similar) things are being said differently?
every experience of the non-physical dimensions (I do not just say afterlife now since I think this expression is too limiting - we also have a 'before-life", btw) is personal and very subjective, it is the case also in this world.
you see, an event witnessed with different witness accounts from different persons with different angles, moods, viewpoints, opinions, reception capabilties, memory capabilties, focus/attention spans and interests, etc... often results in a lot of very different accounts, despite it being the same event at the same time/location witnessed. That is only natural, and the same even more applies to memories from other dimensions.
still, for me, there is a lot of consistency by comparing, weighing and systematizing SUBJECTIVE and PERSONAL accounts and that is what guys like Monroe or Newton (by different methods each) do, the similatities need not be perfect, varyiing descriptions are not perfect in this world, either.
Monroe had his own accounts only first, but later at the TMI he reported that also many people had been e.g. to F27 (without manipulating their perception) and other "localities" and they described it similarly, the same applies to Newton's deep hypnosis reports of his clients, or Kurt Leland's descriptions (for example)
look at it this way: we all had our first school day and have memories of it: the first class teacher, the class mates, the reception at the aula, the celebrations going on, the parents present, the gifts you get, the first introductions, etc pp.
still, everybody has experienced it with variations, but the PATTERN of events, organisation and locations is similar, possibly even the same.
So in the AL/NPR you likewise (and very likely) might be at a different council, a different school class (in F27) then, etc.,
also the teachers / councellors we deal with (or that deal with us) are sometimes called guides or helpers or facilitators, etc. and also received differently
Still, if we compare our experiences, we can say we all had a teacher, council, recreation place, etc...
still, all in all, in the literature, for me it is pretty similar if you compare Monroe's/Moen's F27 "institutions" with Newtons or Kurt Leland's "stages" or "places" (of healing, learning, counceling, recreation, planning, etc.)
All differences for me can be attributed to personal experience and preference of systematization and colouring of the same "afterlife reality", just like a first school day is a physical world reality in this dimension for almost every one - different, and yet "the same".

First hint. You're looking at a road, a path.
You were on a road, changed direction, found a dead end, course corrected, and found paydirt. A parade with nice horses and carriage.
After finding "the right road" you let yourself be guided "someone else was driving" and you enjoyed the sights.
I would say this indicates you've been looking at different ways to do things, took a turn that didn't work for you, and then, when you allowed yourself to be guided, were rewarded with a pleasant ride along the path, and possibly interaction.
I think this has to do with guides. I'm not sure if the 'horse' element has anything more to do with it, it might be worth looking into.

Congrats Timandra.
Am I the only one who sees a message in it?
QuoteI am interesting in your intent prior to phasing. Do you set an intention to phase to a specific location? Or do you try to phase into your immediate surroundings and then travel someplace else from there?Well at the moment I have a wish to phase/project to API, but usually I just follow where my consciousness takes me. I sometimes visualize a specific place yes, but in this case I just wanted to fall asleep again.
QuoteCan you remember anything special you did prior to the phasing?I have a different sleeping pattern the last month, I go to bed between 2 and 2.30 am. (used to be around 23.30) And I took a Q10 pill, that are the only changes I can think of.
QuoteCould the town be some future place you will go visitPerhaps, if the town is an existing one irl, but I think the chance that it will happen is small.
Quotethere was some kind of advice in the visuals?I didn't have the feeling that there was.
QuoteDid you request more clarity, mobility or awareness?No I didn't because I had enough of all three, so there was no need to. It was as clear and colourful as in my daily life.
QuoteDid there seem to be some kind of message in your phasing?Perhaps not to worry if I still can have phasings...
Quoteor some kind of presence of someone else?No. I didn't have the feeling that someone was close to me.
QuoteBut yeah, I'd advise looking at the links above. I think I'll check it out too, since I myself need to contact mine as well. Thanks, Timandra!
