ACK! ITS THE BORG!!




Resistance is futile.

Your error is in believing that dreams are not real.

Nice post Jeff.

I advise you to not discuss this with your parents. Just drop the subject and do not mention it to them. It seems clear that they are not ready to deal with such things and you cannot force anyone to deal with this until they are ready. If you continue pressing the matter the situation will most likely get worse for you and cause your parents a lot of unneeded stress. I know that you probably want to talk about this with others and have them accept what you are doing. But I think most of us do not have anyone in real life that we talk to about such subjects, that is why we are here.

If you do feel the need to discuss this with them, I think what was said in another post around here somewhere had a good point. You should change your terminology to something they find more appealing. If they do not like the thought of you meditating or clearing your mind, tell them you are practicing focusing your mind. If they do not like you APing, tell them you are just resting/taking a nap or whatever. Instead of telling them that you are projecting/leaving your body, tell them about the experiences you had in a dream. Who can be afraid of you dreaming? Who will look silly then if they do talk to a someone else?
"Our child lays down during the day to take naps and dreams, what should we do?"
"Umm I fail to see your problem?"

You are just going to have to get use to the fact that not everyone is going to agree with you.

Remain calm, passive, and curious. Assume nothing! It really is very important, no matter what you see, no matter what you experience to remain calm and passive and to assume nothing. Be curious and try to learn from whatever happens. Are you just assuming what you have seen are evil entities?

You have something to learn, that is why they are there. What exactly is up to you to find out, but it is most like the "Dweller on the Threshold". The Dweller on the Threshold is there to test you, to teach you, to ensure that you are ready to explore the Astral worlds. Some see this/these entities and some do not. It will not hurt you, but is there to make you face your fears. If you cannot overcome this fear you are not ready for the astral. When you are no longer afraid you will no longer see the Dweller and can move on to exploring the astral.

No


You have nothing to fear but fear itself.

It is not uncommon to see all kinds of things like this when you are trying to project.

Sex can actually lead to insanity.

How so? Unless you are referring to one that becomes so obsessed with it that they loose all sense and interest in other things, I do not understand what you are referring to. Of coarse this is true of all obsessions, and it is the obsession and not the act that is harmful.

Sex, like all things, is what you make of it. Sex can be very helpful to your health, both physical, emotional, and relationship wise. If one sees sex merely as getting off and as a temporary physical high, then it is not going to be very productive. But sex can be so much more. Sexual energy is very powerful and if cultivated and stored instead of expelled can be used for your own health. It can be used to bring two people closer together, for it is an intimate act that when the sexual energy is shared can increase the bond. The Western view of sex is really quite sad compared to what its potential is.

In the area between the third and fourth chakras is an energy storage center.

A good way to ensure that you will be attacked and do a lot of fighting in the astral is to attack first and ask questions later. Of coarse this is true on the physical as well. Assume nothing, ask questions, the true you cannot be killed.

It is most likely the alcohol in your body that hindered your "return". The alcohol made your body sleepier than normal, making it harder for it to wake up, which is why you had trouble waking it up.

quote:(Is it ok to give information contained in a book, or am I violating copyright by doing this

If it violated copyright laws by doing so this entire forum would have to be shut down as almost everything in Astral Dynamics is talked about on this forum. It is fine to talk about what is in books, paraphrase, and quote as long as the source of the information is mentioned. If you post an entire book without permission, then you might get in trouble.

If you can interact with deceased animals I see no reason why you cannot interact with them on the astral pre-death.

I always liked the saying:

Minds are like parachutes, they work best when they are open.

ebay is great. I use to buy stuff from there all the time. You can get some really good deal and find things you can't find anywhere else. There has been only one thing that I just cannot find and that is a light bulb for my parents old projector.

Do you have diabetes? Is this for you or someone else?

To my knowledge no, but I am not a healer so I do not know exactly. Exercise and eating health are good ways to help prevent this from developing. I am sure energy work along with this will help too.

Do a search. This was discussed a long while back. A combination of energy work and certain eye exercises can improve your eye sight. I can even recommend a book if you wish that talks about this and the exercises, not the energy part. I did notice slight improvement with the little bit I did. Unfortunately I did not have time to do them a lot and I got lazy and have stopped doing them for now. But the exercises do help. You have learned to see differently than your eyes were designed to be used. The exercises strengthen your eyes and teaches you how to see the way your eyes are meant to be used. Basicly our society is more up close (computer use, reading, writing, etc) when our eyes were created/evolved for distance viewing (to ensure we could see something coming that might be a threat so we did not get eaten, etc).

Hey, Jeff. Welcome back!

Why is it that you feel you cannot share this part of your life with her? I remember the post on this but I do not remember the reason why you could not tell her. If you feel like talking about it now that is.

I think it is hard to get a clear picture of Jesus from the current texts. There are so many different versions and translations. But from my studies I would say that he is what he claimed to be the most in the Bible, a teacher. I think he is a savior but not in the way that most people think he is. I do not think that he is to worshiped like a god, and in so doing we will be saved. I think he was here to teach us to save us from ourselves. He taught people to be compassionate, caring, and loving. That people and life are important, not material things or meaningless laws. He taught people to love everyone, even your "enemies", be they an actual physical threat or just people who have different views than yourself. He tried to save people from "hell", hell being those places we create for ourselves because we cannot deal with our problems, such as hatred, greed, etc. Read throughout this forum and many other sources and you will find these human created hells. When Jesus said, "Believe in me and you shall be saved" I do not think that he was saying "worship me" but he was saying do as I have taught you, and what he taught was love, mercy, and compassion. I do not think that Jesus was trying to start a religion, especially not something like many are today. Yes there are a few good Christian churchs and groups, but many are too caught up in the things that Jesus was trying to get away from, meaningless laws. When Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the light" he meant his teachings, his examples, not his worship. Worship is meaningless if you do not follow the teachings of love and compassion.

It sounds like you experienced the vibrations to me. You atleast felt energy, which is a good sign.

It is easy to get back into your body, you just have to think about it. Think about moving your physical toe or hand and it should pull you back to it. Think about what it feels like to be in your physical body. Something you should understand is that you are not actually leaving your body. You are making yourself more conscious or aware of other planes of existance. You are always in your physical body, but your are conscious of your other bodies and able to go explore on the other planes. So you have no chance of being locked out of your physical body, not until its death anyway.

Why would one desire to have sex with a porn star? It does not seem very exciting to me. It seems that it would be purely a physical act, and sex can be so much more. You can have sex and the vibrations so why choose?

Try posting this in the Magic section, if you have not already. I know there are things that you can do to cleanse a house so those in that section should be able to help you. I am not sure if they will see it here.

Until recently goingslow has been a pretty decent member of the forums. I am not sure what has gotten into him lately, but I hope you do not permenantly ban him. I think he does need to take a break and calm down.

There are a lot of different ideas shared on these forums. Everyone is most likely not going to agree. But we all need to respect each other's ideas. If you do not agree with a topic just do not read those topics. No one is forcing you to do so. Don't keep reading them until you get upset and angry about it. Accept the fact that everyone is different and can have different ideas.

goingslow, if there are issues in your life that are leading you to this anger I hope you can realize what they are and deal with them. Good luck.

Sorry to bring this up again. I read an article about this in the paper today, and then I started thinking about the irony of the situation.

In the Christian Bible where the Ten Commandments are listed it states:

quote:
Exodus 20

4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.  

This is part of the longer version of the second commandment, a part which is usually left off of displays. But it clearly states not to have idols, or in other places and translations graven images. What about this monument that has brought up such controversy. Is it not being made into an idol by placing such importants on the physical object instead of placing concern on keeping the commandments? Which do you think God felt was important when these were written, the people following the commanments or the tablets that they were written on. It just seems ironic to me when here and throughout the Bible it is made clear not to place importance upon physical objects but on the spiritual and your actions, yet the issue is over a rock, a phycial object.

I miss Tom and Frank. But I can understand why they do not come back much any more. Most of this forum is beginner level and they are beyond that level. All that they probably get out of here is helping other people. A lot of the same questions pop up often asking the same beginner advice. Now to someone more advanced, they are more than happy to help, but after awhile they probably get tired of repeating themselves and feel like being with others at their level to help with their own advancement. So I really cannot blame. Atleast we still have a wealth of information from the posts they have left.

If you see Tom, why do not say hello and ask him how he is doing? I doubt he would take offense.

 any way to improve my memory and concentration?

Memory and Concentration are like your muscles, either you use them and they get stronger, or you don't and they get weaker. If you want to strength them you need to use them. The best way is to practice throughout the day. Instead of letting your mind wonder all over the place, try to stay focused on what you are doing and what is going on around you at all times. At first you may not be able to focus for very long, but after awhile (days, weeks, months) you will notice an improvement. Same thing with memory, use it. Try remembering things instead or referring back to the source for the information. This change really has to be a lifestyle change if you want the best results. Change how you do things so that you use your memory and concentration more. Within a few months you will be impressed.

For me it is somewhat common. I find that in many of my dreams I will shift between both 1st and 3rd person, usually within the same dream.

Try looking through the posts from the past few days. I remember someone posted that they had this problem and how they overcame it. I do not remember who it was or which section it was in so you many have to do a bit of searching.
