"maybe it is an expression of a 'crossover' relational energy that bridges lives in parallel realities" <--- THIS EV

Yes, tis he!  

I actually had a thought like this once while in one of these alternate life dreams. Which reminds me of something I came across randomly lately. Can't remember where but reading some internet material by psychologist/hypnotist  that had found an interesting correlation between these 'parallel lives' and the timing of death or near death experiences. They were rambling about the possibility that the reason some people hang on so long when they are on their death bed is that they are waiting for their 'counterparts' in other realities as she/he thought perhaps all parts return to source/wherever at roughly the same time.

As the late great Colonel Kilnk from Hogan's Heroes used to say, "very interesting". You have to use his voice full effect there, lol!   Oops, I just really showed my age!  

Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy driving Lyft trying to catch up.

Great responses from everyone. Funny I asked before about a hierarchy here at astral pulse before and the main response was that there was no hierarchy in the NP, but I thought that was one. And you's just clarified that there was a hierarchy of some sort.

I don't remember that at all. I have made other posts in the pasts here about this "Hierarchy" and like clockwork the same people always replied back to it agreeing  with my opinion.

Lumaza, I'm thinking about getting James Schwartz book "One Voice, Sacred Wisdom: Revealing Answers to Some of Life's Greatest Mysteries from Your Guides, Spirits and Angels"

From what I read n that link that Baro-san so graciously shared with us, it sounds like it is a great book. I love his approach to all of this!   It mirrors many of the things I have come to know as "truths" as well. I was constantly giving him two thumbs up when I heard his Radio interview. So many of the Guests will start with a great conversation, but then get swayed towards some kind of "fear based scenario" and there goes the neighborhood. He wasn't, He didn't bite at all. Just like when George had Albert Taylor on Coast to Coast Am. He didn't bite on the "fear bating" either!

 A brief "Hi-jack" here and I am done. I apologize for this MagikOwl

Talking about your Doorway technique ...

Somebody just posted a Doorway technique on another forum, and I thought to share it here:

Very interesting find Baro-san. Thank you for that!  

In a Google search on the heading above, I found that it was from a "Reddit" site.

I have found through the years that the use of colors, geometric shapes and especially Doorways, lead to "automatic" mental associations. His interchanging of the colors and material of the door handles reminds me of a technique I heard about years ago where you play around with colors geometric shapes. Examples: Picturing a blue triangle in a red square, red box in a green rectangle, yellow circle in a red square, etc.

I'm sure his #3 Advanced tech would likely involve targeting selected Doorways, as in Doorways with certain numbers or themes that correspond to visuals of said themes or numbers. This is one way that leads me to Retrievals, I target a room with either the name "Retrievals: or Focus 27, The Park, written as a sign on a door. Kind of like what you find in a office, motel or apartment building. This is also the way that I indirectly came across that phenomenal "Art Gallery" that has led to the Crystal Amplifiers I now create and sell today.

I still have to do an update on my own Doorway thread talking about some of the amazing things I have seen and uncovered targeting Doorways. I shared some of my experiences in the past, yet didn't get many responses to them.  I figured in many people's minds it's just too much work and "totally unnecessary", yet look at the results I still having today.

I will follow your advise and let you know how it went, it's funny because knowing it's all that it take to access Non-Physical realities raises many questions, what about focus10/point consciousness/energy work and all that? It does not seems relevant in this case but I guess it's probably a misunderstanding in my part. Anyway I'll probably start a new thread, I don't want to hijack soki's thread!

Focus 10/point consciousness/energy work, those are all techniques to hold your focus and take you deeper as the "natural shift" in consciousness occurs. I created my Doorway technique to do just that as well. To hold your attention on something other than your physical body or this physical realm itself!

I agree with Nameless that they are a different category of dream/experience...maybe it's a minor thing, but then again, maybe it's more of a major difference; I'm still uncertain.

Yes, I stated a few years ago that through the really trying times of my Trigeminal Neuralgia bouts, I learned the Art of Dream Yoga and because of that, I stayed aware well into the Dream cycles. I got to see how our Dreams indeed are "compartmentalized".

Like LightBeam, I notice the definite symbolic quality of these experiences. And in that sense, I wonder if they are part of the more mundane 'housecleaning' class of dream, but in this case, our family/friend relationships are being repositioned and re-examined from alternative character arrangements in order to express and likely decompress the tensions of our current PR relationships.

Not only do I see those "symbols" But I can't tell you when the last time was that I actually saw a person's mouth moving in one of my Dreams. I never try to see it. But I also can't remember seeing anyone actually "talking" at all.

I have had these dreams also, and am somewhat confused by them. For me, they are nearly always sandwiched in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th REM periods, so they are almost always clouded and confused by other dreams/experiences, either before or after. I can't remember being able to come awake and write one down with any kind of atm memory.

That sounds about right from what I saw as well. There is a lot of "mish mashing" going on between those different Dream cycles as well.

Another thing that each of you mentioned- these dreams have a definite and different quality of FEEL to them as even compared to Simulations, Retrievals and other complex experiences. These 'back stories' have a noticeably different feel or quality than nearly anything else. And I think it is the emotional and relational quality that distinctly catches and keeps my attention in them. Another aspect, at least in most of mine, is that there is little action involved; so that seems to allow even more time and mental space to notice the emotional/relational qualities involved in each experience. So maybe it is just another decompression function of our subconscious.

They do indeed have a different "feeling' to them. That's why not only is the recall excellent but they also give you something to ponder throughout the following day and even longer.

Then again, maybe it is an expression of a 'crossover' relational energy that bridges lives in parallel realities- or both, also being an energy expression discharge that inadvertently sometimes offers a 'peek' into that other reality. Again, the lack of action or the need of a situation to be resolved seems apparent in mine; so the idea of a moment of 'nostalgic memory' and emotional expression makes sense...but maybe that still involves 'conduiting' into and through parallel realities. A sigh or a cry in one reality may lead to a similar expression within another...

Whoosh!   That went right over my head. I will just nod now and say yes!  

You guys make me think way too much...

And thank you for that!

Your calling the kettle black now!  

Dr. Michio Kaku also talks about how physicists can almost prove the existence of parallel realities where you can take so many different paths based of=n different decisions. Even if you simply miss a bus in one reality but catch it in another and meet someone on that bus that will maybe become your future spouse, yet in the one you missed the bus you may never get married. Probable realities totally exist.

I wish all those "naysayers" would experience things like this. It would change their view on everything they currently believe. But then again, maybe that's why they don't "consciously" experience these things.

My dream characters never question the scenarios no matter how unusual they may seem. I have had dreams with people I don't know here, yet my dream character does not question who they are, just go along with the scenario. I don't know if my dream character knows so much of the background tough of other people, just acting in the moment. So, I would say not in this kind of depth, but again never question anything in dream state. If I become aware, then things turn quickly into AP and I know exactly who I am and start questioning, what is happening here, so I often get away from the dream scenario if I think it's boring and go about my own explorations.

I have those experiences as well. But I have learned to passively observe everything first and I don't like to change the "narrative" of the experience. I feel if I am experiencing it, there must be a reason for it! 

Your dreams Lumaza and Nameless seem organized with stream of events that make sense, so that may be glimpses of probable realities. Some of my dreams are bots and pieces that don't make sense when I wake up, but I am sure this is how my subconsciousness translates them sometimes. They are very symbolic as well.

Like I said, not all my experiences follow that pattern.

I agree, It's just a shame that the meaning sometimes gets lost in that translation. Even symbols don't always hold the answers we look for. But, our "Higher Self" and the "Others" in charge certainly do like to use them!   

I like this topic! I read it last night and decided to wait a bit before responding. Glad I did. Early this morning I experienced one of these only I am sure I have experienced parts of this life in many other LDs/Projections.

I'm living in a very nice cozy neighborhood with my family which are recognizable as the family I have now. My husband is still alive but we are roughly the same ages as now. We are gathered on our front porch just hanging out. Our neighbor, his name is Buzz is just pulling into his driveway towing a trailer with an old motorcycle he just acquired. We flip out bc the motorcycle is a very unique antique. Motorcycles in this reality are not exactly like what we know. Anyway my husband is tripping out and tells me to go look. So me and my son walk over to admire the cycle. Buzz also has a small cigar boat being delivered on a trailer and the boat brings back memories.

I remember the how my husband and I used to talk about finding a couple of these old bikes and touring the country when we retired. (Something we both also considered in this life). I also remember a time before I met my husband and had a career working on a huge scientific ocean liner. I remembered a daring escape from the liner on a small boat similar to the neighbors and the ensuing rescue. Bitter sweet memories of another life.

The rest of dream turned a bit nightmarish and I won't go into details but even in that life I lost my husband. I woke up with all kinds of mixed feelings. Grateful for the sweetness and incredibly heartbroken over losing him again. But the point is that was a whole life independent and separate from this one and yet...

Parallel Universe describes this so much better than re-incarnation, at least in my mind. So Lumaza you feel it as a 'knowing' while I feel it as a 'memory'. Hmm.

Once again, another thing that we seem to share here.

I also feel it was a "memory". The sense of "knowing" was too strong not to be. I don't really liken it to "re-incarnation" either. The fact that it could have been a "split timeline" seems to fit the bill here. We seem to have our timelines fork out when we come to major decisions in our lives.

I've had vivid dreams with semi awareness that are usually packed with action. The coolest one was with the Avengers that I posted here not too long ago. I don't remember any being from a third person perspective.

I remember your Avenger scenario. That one sounded really cool! 

According to the receptiveness and the nature of your dreams, it looks like you have a very focused mission of search and rescue. The multiverse definitely need more characters like you

I would say that the jumping between 3rd person and 1st person views could be one of either two things or maybe it could be both. The awareness could be waning when a jump is made to 3rd person view and the reboot of the awareness comes courtesy of the 1st person view or it could be that this is made "memorable" like this so that I would retain the vivid recall of the experience. Either way, it did indeed catch my attention. But like I said, it's not the first time this has happened. It's the added "backstory" to the equation that really makes it unique! 

Just like Lumaza said, the first scenes you get, you have to passively observe. If I can picture it for you, it feels a little as if you are in your couch at home watching tv (yourself in the couch being your point of awareness, from which you perceive, and the tv being the scenarios). At first they are not quite "clear" in your head, you see them without much details, from a distance. But as you deepen the state (let your point of awareness sink, just stay in an observer point of view) the scenarios get clearer and bear more details, as if you were getting closer and closer to the screen. You will know you have phased when they don't feel like you are watching them through a screen, but you are literally in the scenario. Exactly like during a dream. The only difference is you got there from a total awakened state and you can come back and forth to it without (or almost) any loss in your awareness. The moment right before phasing, it's as if you were inches away from the screen and then you just get in the scene. That's where I lose my awareness usually. If you try to change some things, modify the scene or think too much you won't be able to let go enough to get in the scene (at first). You have to keep just the right amount of interest to stay awake and lucid, but not too much or it will keep you from getting in those scenarios and you will stay far from the screen, in your couch. I think we have to learn and gauge how to let go just enough, not too much nor too little. Try and keep an interested mindset. When images or scenarios arise in your mind, think things like: " How curious, how interesting!". Learn to let go progressively and most importantly, slowly. If you let go too quickly, you will fall asleep. If you don't let go enough, you stay awake, far from the scene. Hope it helps!

I tried Lumaza's tip, and it went wonderfully well! I succeeded in keeping my awareness to a point where I usually lose it. The scenarios went on, and they got clear but I was still perfectly aware of being in my bed, trying to phase. Usually for me to get such a good level of detail in the scenarios I have to let go of my awareness. When I felt like I was losing my awareness I was stopping the "let go of the mind", I stabilised a little and started watching the scenarios again. This is a good step for me! I realise I only have to push the point progressively where I lose the awareness and I'll be there soon enough.

In the words of the rock band 38 Special, you need to "Hold on loosely, but don't let go"! It really is a balancing act!

You are doing great soki. Many times we here will share some tip with a member here and find out in a later post that they had made, that they totally ignored the advice. It's always good to hear that/when a member had positive results! That actually makes my day. So thank you! 

Hello Soki,

I have been lurking this forum for a while now, and since I am at the same point as you maybe I will contribute a bit to see if it open new path for me.

Like you, it is very easy for me to induce the mini-dreams, i can do it anywhere, at home or outside just by doing....nothing, I just let my awaraness go where it want to go and end up in the mini-dream state. It's so natural it's not even fair to call it a technique so my guess is that you won't find anything better to go phasing/Out of Body/lucid dream.

Now I am saying that but my problem is that i'm doing some kind of "Yoyo" with these mini-dreams and that's it. They feel very physical and real but as soon as I try to do something with... it disappear and I'm back in the physical, 30 secondes later i'm viewing another dream or image, i try to be very gentle with it and it disappear and I'm back, again and again. So it's like i'm in front of the door of Non-Physical but there is a concept that i'm missing here. I have read Frank kepple post maybe 200 times to see if i am missing something, so far nothing new.

This is either a problem of : 1) I should continue let go and thrust that I will not fall asleep or 2) I should just keep viewing the mini-dreams until something happens or 3) I was already in the non-physical I just did not know

Number 3 came to me recently when I was reading people saying that they just "stand up" once they reach a certain stage of hypnagogia also confirm by DarknChildlike, this is very hard for me to understand since i'm one of those who does not have a lot of exit symptoms (never experience SP or voices but had many involuntary experience of the non-physical)

I will experiment a bit and try to let you know if i have good result.


(Please apologize for my english, it's not my mother tongue and I really need to practice more)

Welcome to the Pulse Magik!   I like the name!  

I think I can help you with your problem. When I first began Phasing I found the same problem. I would jump into a scene and it would immediately fade away.  Then I learned not I jump into or latch on the first visual that reveals itself. I allow what I call the "flitting around" portion of the process to play out. This is when the, in your case "mini dreams" appear. I find they come and go. I wouldn't latch onto the first one because know that it will soon disappear and dissolve again. I just observe and observe and observe, until a scenario has stuck around long enough to show me that it is "stable" and that I  can enter it and it will still be there.

I think you just need to apply a bit more patience here. "Allow" the mini dreams to commence. Passively observe them with a aire of curiosity. They will come a nd go, sometimes rather quickly. It feels like you are jumping around all over the place. Hence the term "flitting around".

it won't always be like that though. Nowadays, I can jump in and hone onto my first visual. But that came through a lot of trial and error. I learned to completely "hone in" on them now. That seems to be the name of the game in this practice. Learning how to passively observe is a skill that is very important with this practice. Allow a scene to completely materialize. Don't jump the gun on it.

By the way, your English is great. If you look at many of my posts, it's likely better than mine and my first language is English, lol!  

 I was curious how many of you experience these "back stories" in your LDs/Dreams?

A back story to me is when you become aware in a Dream and seem to know the ""history" of your character. It's almost like you had read a "script" before the Dream scenario had begun.

Case in point. this morning I was in a LD. I became aware I was in some woman's home, surrounded by her husband and Family members.

Somehow I knew that we had a history together. I knew that I had met her many years previous to this time. I had been travelling on the road via the Carnival when I was younger and had met this beautiful woman. We had a brief little "tryst". Every year after that when I came to her town, I met up with her again. Even though she was in relationship during my visits to her town, she still met me and had me stay over at her home. This had went on for many years.

She married 4 times and had 5 beautiful girls from those marriages. Currently, she was living happily with her 4th husband. 1 of her Husbands died in the Military. 2 were real jerks and the man she was now with was a fantastic guy. I had known him also for a few years now.

As usual, we would sit around and reminisce. When she and I were alone, she would go back to playing her "flirtatious game" that we always seemed to share in. It was innocent though. Also as usual, I would go to their game room with just the husband and we would play darts. I told him this time around "That the reason I always loved this woman was that she showed so much Love for her kids" During the years I had known her, there were many times that she struggled in life. But she always made sure her children were safe and taken care of, even if she wasn't herself. Her kids grew up to be beautiful. strong and loving ladies, just like their Mother was.

So, I knew all this, but all I experienced in this scenario was being there, wherever there was, sharing friendship with them and talking to the husband. Everything else came through some weird sense of just "knowing". I have never met this lady, her girls or her husband in my physical reality here. I have never been to that town, her home or any of that.

Years ago, while younger in the Carnival, I did travel quite a bit and because of that, I did have a "special someone" in many of those areas I went to. We would meet, have fun together, never a physical relationship, at least in the first year. But, then every year when I returned, we would automatically continue from where we left off. Many times, I would be met at the Fairgrounds upon arriving there and I would stay for the duration of that Fair at their homes, whether they were in a relationship or not. Our friendship would be long lasting. Like I said though, many times a "physical relationship" wasn't part of the equation.

I asked you about these "back story" scenarios/simulations because through the years, I have experienced many of them. Normally they come during a "Hero scenario" and who knows, this may have still indirectly been some kind of "Retrieval" or Hero experience. Once again, so many questions!  

At no time in these scenarios ever told of the "history" of the experience. I just seem to "know" what I need to know about it. Like I said, it's as if I am an actor in some kind of skit and have read a script beforehand!  

Experiences like this have made me a huge proponent of "Parallel Universes". I could see this as a different path in life, fork in the road, per se, from the current path I am on now. It seems to fit the "mold".

 I am sorry to hear about your friend Dark!  

Aa few years ago our Niece committed Suicide. She had so much going for her and many of us in the Family never knew of her personal struggles. Everyone here on this Forum has likely experienced the loss of a friends/relative/immediate Family member due to Suicide. Just the word alone draws up many different emotions. I know it is very "touchy" subject and with good reason.

Suicide is for the living, not the deceased, the one that transitioned on. It has profound effects on all involved in it. Her Suicide touched everyone in the Family and her friends in different ways. The after effects of it are still being felt even today. Her Mother and Father have never been the same since, neither has my better half here, MJ here. The loss is something you never get over. We are Human first and it is our Humanity that makes us who we are today. Grieving seems to be something that we all need to experience. It shows the true Love in our hearts, even though it hurts so much.

I have been around people, living with people that had someone dear, a close Family member, that committed Suicide in their lives that couldn't move on with their own lives. I got to see how it profoundly effected everyone that the person that committed Suicide knew, their "nucleus". The people I was living with couldn't come to terms with it. I attempted to heal that wound by showing them how to live again. They would never forget, but at least they could learn to "forgive themselves" and release the "guilt" that they all felt.

Time heals all wounds. Grieve for now. There will be plenty of time for closure. When "he" feels you are ready to see him again, he will show up. We can't pressure things like that. Even though we may want to force the issue. It must occur naturally and when you are ready for it.

The late Bruce Moen had a technique where you get into a good trance state and just begin a mental conversation with him. Just start a mental conversation and don't be surprised when a reply appears. Thinking out loud like that has many benefits. Don't necessarily try to hear the words. Open your mind to it and let them flow. Pay attention to your own thoughts. Watch for signs that things just start to flow, like a regular conversation would. You will know when those words aren't yours anymore and that you are actually getting replies directly from him or some other "Medium", that is attempting to aid you with this.

 Just to add to the fantastic replies that Nameless and EV have given you. You say you don't like Phasing because you lose your awareness to soon. To rectify that, first take it slow. Start a Phase session as you normally do, then when things start happening, cut it off right there. Abort it.

The next time you Phase, you will find that you can hold onto it a bit further. Once again, go enjoy your adventure, but cut it off when it seems like you are losing your awareness again. You will find that this "start and stop" method will actually work to bring you further and further each time. Make sure you make the effort to write down your experiences in your Journal. That shows your "Higher Self" that you are serious about this practice.

Once you become aware that you are in a scenario, slowly look around. Start with just a simple look at your feet or down in the scene. After you got your bearings a bit, begin to raise your peripheral vision up a bit, taking on more of the scene. By doing this, you are slowly "acclimating" yourself to your new surroundings. At no time though should you ever think about your physical body and also try to avoid getting too excited when something does happen. The thought "Here we go" seems to be a real experience killer".

 I am resurrecting this old thread that I created using my former name here "Lionheart". As you can see, it's now the year 2020 and my "Hero Dreams" still continue.

Another night, another Hero Dream. This one though had so many weird things in it, like a sense of knowing things, even though there was no mention of them, multiple Dream triggers, going in and out of 3rd person view and 1st person view and lastly being in a different body from what I am today.

I become aware I am in school. All of a sudden the fire alarm. An announcement comes over the PA system that there is a active bomb threat. There is all kinds of havoc here, from people screaming and crying to basically stampeding to get out of the school. (cut scene).

Now I am outside in the schoolyard. We are told that the threat isn't for our school. Instead, it is down the block from us. But, it's close enough for them to have to alert us. (cut scene). All that time I was in 1st person view.

Now I see the actual chaos at the bomb scene. I see the bomb squad around a Van, then a boy walks up to the Police and the Police move out of his way and allow the boy through. Back to 1st person view. That "boy" was me. I am now surveying the situation. I can see through the Van's door (x-ray vision) and there looks to be some kind of device in there. It is not Dynamite or C-4. It seems to be just a silver sphere that is hooked up to the door.

All of a sudden I here a "whoosh" and see this boy flying. he lands right near me and seems to know me. I don't know him at all. He reaches out and puts his hand right through the Van door and grabs the device. It is still active though.

I notice we are at a mall of sorts. Not inside of it though. He calls me to come with him. he doesn't do it verbally though. This is a telepathic message. We go to the wall and seem to be using bodies to block the blast from everyone around us. But the strangest thing is, people are coming out of the mall. We tell them to go back in the mall, but they ignore us. If anything they are annoyed by the inconvenience that we seem to be to them!  

The guy that is with me senses this isn't going to work, so he puts the device back into the Van and once again calls to me telepathically to help him lift the Van to bring it to a area that is safe against the oncoming explosion. I go to him and off we go. This is where it gets weird again because I have a knowing that I have never flown before, but have practiced leaping large distances. Well now, I was actually flying. How I had knew that, I have no clue. Many times in this experience I knew things about myself, yet I was never told or shown anything and at no time did I actually focus or even give a thought to the fact that I was sleeping peacefully and safely in my bed. I just "knew" I was. (cut scene)

Back to 3rd person view. I see the 2 boys flying through the air holding the Van. A few minutes of that and now I am are back to 1st person view again. Now I can see I am flying. The boy sends a message to me saying that he thinks the water is too far away and that we need to ditch the Van now. So, we fly down to what looks like a underground garage. We are flying around the corners with the Van as we go lower and lower into the garage. When we get to the bottom, we put the Van down and haul our butts out of there.

There is huge explosion and the ground buckles in a few places. One of those places is in the road about a block away. We, the boy and I seem to be safely atop of a building watching all of this. I then see a woman with baby carriage fall into the buckled area of the road. Immediately I dive off of the building to fly to help her. I don't think abut it, I just do it. She seems to be plummeting deeper and deeper. I finally get to her and save her and her child. (cut scene). Now I see a bit of the aftermath, but I am back in 3rd person view. (cut scene).

Now I am home, wherever home was and I am talking with I guess she is my girlfriend. She then shows me a video of the boy and my heroism "You have some explaining to do". It seems that she didn't know that I had "abilities". Then I woke up.

So what was so strange there. I became aware in LD, saw I was someone else, had activity left and right in my face, yet I somehow knew things about this person, like for instance that he did have special abilities.
The 3d person view was like watching a movie. The first person view was even more vivid than this actual physical reality of ours is. It was "surreal"!
I knew all along that this was a "Simulation" of some sort. Yet never did I even think of my physical existence here. There was just a strong sense of knowing.
I talked about DT (Dream triggers) above. Like I said there was many of them. The fact that I was someone else. The fact that I knew so much about that person, yet was never told or shown a thing. The fact that I was much younger than I am today, back in school and all of that. The flying. All of the "instinct" that I had and how I acted upon that.

Going back to the "simulation" comparison above. In my "Souly for Retrievals" thread I wrote about finally being invited into the White Cathedral/Hospital like building that I normally saw, only from the outside, in many of my Retrieval experiences. While inside I got to see special rooms they had that that were known as "Simulation rooms". These were rooms that whoever was in them, the "patient" at the time could actually be living there life and "horrors" in. The simulations were so real, you couldn't tell the difference. If anything though, they were even more vivid and very intense. I felt like my Hero scenario above was actually played out in one of those rooms.

I have had all kinds of Dreams that I have become lucid in. The "teaching/lesson" Dreams seem to have a different feel to them then the other normal Dreams do. They seem more intense and in your face. They seem to be "action packed". So much so that you are forced to react without thought, even though I am totally aware at the time. I know that some of you here will understand what I am talking about. It's like our Dreams seem to be "compartmentalized". Like there are different sections of our "subconscious" that certain Dreams are played out. It really got me to thinking about that today. So many questions and so few answers!  



 

There are many NP realities where the spirits decide to stay in character, but integrate into like minded characters societies. There are no limitations and spirits can reward themselves by living exciting and suffer free for a while. Forever, not, because I personally would get bored at some point if there are no challenges to overcome and get that satisfaction of learning and growth. But as temporary heavenly living as a reward, absolutely. There is just endless world to explore in the multiverse that I would want to visit them all. Wherever I like I can stay, live for what may seem like centuries in earth time, but then move on and explore more and more. My point is that no matter how heavenly a world may seem, a spirit would not want to be at the same place forever. Not to spoil your experience, just these thoughts started flooding my mind at the moment as I was typing.

I have seen many majestic worlds while APing. Being aware brings even more euphoria. But yeah, it's great that you have repetitive vivid dreams about it. Something is drawing you to it. You can start doing nightly affirmations before falling asleep that you remain aware in your dreams. That way you can convert into AP and then this will be mind blowing.

I spoke about this very thing a while ago in the "Souly for Retrievals" thread here. I came across a offer to become a "Retriever" for special cases once I too had transitioned. I was shown that I can have anything I desire, but that I had a duty to fulfill. I accepted before they could even finish the question, lol!
I was also shown that I was taking the place of someone else that was going to "evolve" to a higher level in the "Hierarchy".

Interesting, I find this happening to me as well. Desensitizing, because I understand the necessity of suffering, but on the other hand I would jump to help someone in need without even thinking because of strong empathy. Lately, I find I experience somewhat contradicting things yet, both sides make perfect sense and they can co-exist in harmony. Just like the above example.

I find the same thing. It's like they want you to use your emotion and empathy, but not all the time.

I feel the impact of these experiences is teaching us to react with a consciously aware mindset right there and then. To be able to react immediately, but with a "cool head". The only way you can achieve that is to be "devoid" of your emotions and feelings at the time. Why this important, I have no idea. But I feel I will at some time in the future.

Also, I mention the word "they", in quotes so much because there is definitely some form of "Hierarchy" and "Order" in the NP.  I have no doubt about that at all.

[everyone]

It is true. And it is a paradise without a doubt.

Wherever I was, technology wasn't even a "thing" because you could do/talk to whomever you wanted at any time. Everything we have on this realm from technology, to transportation, to even time..did not exist there. And everyone was happier. Everyone.

I found the same thing too. No tech, no transportation, no time. This gives us a chance to just "exist" and "be". True Paradise!  

I wish I could go to this place on command but it just seems to happen whenever it happens.

You can learn to fulfill that wish. It will take a lot of practice, patience and perseverance. But, it can be done!  We here at the Astral Pulse can show you how!  

Even more that 100. I think most exist simultaneously with all the probabilities, but at the same time are in a state of becoming, meaning that expansion (new experiences and greater knowledge) of All That Is is constant and will go on forever.  Time is not linear in the NP and it had different characteristics than what we perceive here. This is more complicated than we can comprehend as characters, but I think we are in the right direction, poking through the possibilities.

This is what I have shown been as well. See, this practice of Aping does lead us to coming to similar conclusions. We always look for "patterns" that are shared. The more we have been talking about our actual experiences lately, the more we all seem to have in common.

EscapeVelocity recently talked about the fact that there doesn't seem to be a lot of empathy in the NP, especially in the realm of Retrievals and that that is why they seem to like Humans aiding in Retrievals as well. We do bring "empathy" to the picture and sometimes a Retrieval won't be successful without it.

Here is EV's quote. "Then again, maybe Source's purpose is to experience and learn some new aspects through all of us that are its expression within this Reality. Lumaza and some others have perhaps pointed towards possible insights our particular evolution may be directed towards- Love and Empathy. Empathy especially seems to be lacking in some NP environments such as Retrievals; and this consistently repeats as a quality earthbound humans can uniquely provide."

Every morning for the past couple of months now I have been becoming aware I am in yet another "Hero scenario". It always plays the same. Someone Human or "Other" is in dire need of help and I fall into the role of the Hero. These scenarios are very "graphic", brutal and I am right in the middle of what seems to be someone's hellish experience. It almost seems like I am being "de-sensitized" to the horror of all of this.

Thanks Lumaza!

This sounds similar to what I'm doing through self-hypnosis.

I browsed a sample at google-books, then I borrowed an electronic copy from my library.

Glad I logged in tonight.

Your welcome Baro-san!  This as you know, is my interest as well.

Thank you for the sharing that link to "google books" too. That is some great reading material there! 

 I was just thinking, it's funny how when we think about our "Happy Place", place of total "Paradise", it seems to be completely devoid of "technology", as we know it today! Just an observation! 

 Last night a Hypnotist named James Swartz was a guest on the Coast to Coast AM Radio show. He talked about this very thing. He shared how during many of his sessions with his clients, he asks questions about Reincarnation and about the seemingly "revolving door" of existence that we seem to go all go through. If you want to hear more about it you can either access his talk from last night or just go to youtube and search his name. He must have other videos there as well. It was a very interesting interview and Plasma, I think it will aid you with understanding more about this.
Here is a link to his website as well. I'm sure you could send him a email as well.

This was the header for last night's show. His interview was in the second half of the show. It was 2 hours long and then he entertained some questions from callers.

"In the latter half, hypnotherapist James Schwartz talked about using hypnosis as a tool to communicate with spirit guides, and understand spiritual realms. In hypnotic sessions with his clients, who were communicating directly with their guides, he's gleaned much information about such things as the afterlife, karma, parallel planes, and healing. When we die, the spirit continues on and experiences other realms and dimensions, he detailed. Schwartz's client Danielle, working with a "master guide," described her journey to a higher vibrational plane that she claimed she could simultaneously inhabit at night while her physical body remained here.
This led Schwartz to explore the idea that our spirits can experience parallel lives and multiple planes of awareness as we go about our daily existence. He compared our higher selves or spirit energy to a kind of "power station" that connects perhaps up to 100 different simultaneous lifetimes and experiences. The guides have suggested that spirits are "constantly" reincarnating, he added. Schwartz reached out to listeners, inquiring if any were acquainted with the late Mount Shasta-based spiritual teacher Pearl Dorris (1906-1990), whom he believes has been coming through as his own guide. "

 It sounds like you have indeed found your "Happy Place". You can actually use this as a launch pad for AP as well. Just learn how to visually target it while consciously aware and off you go! 

I thought our other lives are non-linear, no time at all in the non-physical?  Aren't we living all our lives simultaneously?  

That is an even harder "truth" for most people to swallow!   But yes, I have been shown, you are correct mcd!

"Here they are.
1. Prevent Gangs By Mentoring Children - So that I don't end up in a fatherless house.
2. Support pro-choice in Abortion - So that I'm not aborted.
3. Prevent Mental Illness - So that I don't have to reincarnate with people with a family history of mental illness.
4. Prevent Anger/War/Violence - So that I won't have to reincarnate with a father that has gone to war.
5. Prevent Bullying - So that I won't have a school where bullying is common.
6. Support Doctor Assisted Suicide - So that I won't have to deal with a undignified death.
7. Help people discover their life purpose. - So that I will be given a good path a reincarnation full of opportunities."

Plasma, all those are fantastic goals for this lifetime. But achieving them so that you don't have to do them again doesn't necessarily mean that you won't again or aren't in another parallel realm right now. Yes, succeeding with those shows you are lowering your entropy. But your physical memory of what you do now is usually erased, except for some rare cases where "some", bit and pieces of the memory, is maintained.

There are many ways to confront a challenge and each one of them has it's own lessons, per se. Ask 3 wise men the same question. You will likely get 3 different answers, yet each one of them is right. Why? Because they are coming at it from their own perceptions.

Doing all of those things is a noble cause. Doing them because they are or you see them as the right thing to do shows growth. Doing them so you won't have to do them/relive them again is more "egocentric".

 You've taken your first step back in. Now you need to do some daily/nightly affirmations stating your desire. Say them as "already done" though. Ex: I am consciously aware in my sleep knowing I am sleeping. I learn from, remember and write down my experiences when I awaken for the day." Always see it as a command of sorts. This constant affirming your intent will be accepted sooner or later by your "higher self" once again.

You lost your "mojo" for this because like you said "life happened". It's never really lost though, just misplaced for a bit!  

There is no harm in returning to what got you there in the first place. Sometimes a look at your past notes, a walk down memory lane, a bit of "rehashing", will prime that pump again. I would start with your posts here that made when you were first new on this Forum.

You may find out though that you have "outgrown" what got you there in the past. If this is the case, have a look at this SubForum. It's loaded with all kinds of useful tips and techniques.

 Plasma, I am curious, do you enjoy the challenge of a good argument?

You show up here about once every 3 or 4 months now. You then ask a question and when people answer it, you rebel/argue against their answers!  

You have been here for years now. You could basically figure the way we are going to answer your questions, based on our "mindset" here and what we have been "shown" to be "our" truths. Don't ask a question if you don't want to hear the answer we will give.

From what I have been shown and what has come to be my truth, you are talking through "ego". Not that you are being egotistical. But, our true consciousness does not "think" the way our physical selves do. Things like positive and negatives, good and evil, even hot or cold don't equate to the higher self, There just "is". There is just "experiences". That is what this whole physical Earth school does for us.
Our physical forms/limbs/senses give us the opportunity to experience things that our consciousness alone can't.

The good, the bad, the ugly. Those are all necessary. That's the way we learn what we came to learn. I feel it's the way that we handle and confront those experiences that shows how we are evolving as a "being".

That's what Lightbeam and Nameless have been attempting to explain to you. It's hard for you to understand this, I know it is. It was hard for me as well. But somewhere along the line I finally "got it". I could finally understand what was being portrayed to me. When I finally understood it, I was taken back for about a month. It was like I was in shock.
