No, not literally...

Let me see if I can relate the metaphorical nature of "chakras" a bit better.

It's said that each chakra has an energy to it... and what that energy does or works towards is pretty fairly defined.
To "open" a "chakra" and "clear" a "blockage" (yes, excessive use of quotes, bare with me hehe) simply means to work towards improving the aspect of your life which revolves around that chakra.

It doesn't mean that there is a literal wheel of energy in that specific area of your body which flowers open when you clear the blockage.
They're just aspects of yourself you work on to grow and become a better, more Loving person.

Hi all for the feedback.

I guess using the word command probably seems to demanding even though it worked just fine for me, maybe requesting assistance is a good idea nameless. Something ill try and do and remember.

The Robert Forsythe quote is a good analogy as i did feel when i was trying to use COMMAND that other physical aspects of the experience were trying to take focus away from what i wanted to ultimately achieve, so remembering this that i am the captain of the ship may help me more steer me in the direction that i want to go in.

many thanks, ill post updates as i progress..
The "words" you use are actually meaningless... it's the *INTENT* placed behind the words which is what empowers them and causes an action.

The there's no difference between commanding "SEE NOW!" or "BANANA SPLIT SUNDAE!" if you place the Intent behind the command.

This is actually how everything works, even in this reality.  Intent is really all there is... once you figure out how to PLACE INTENT (because it can't be taught), then you'll have a much easier time "doing things" while non-physical.  Well, *AND* physically too.  :)

Nope.  And one day you'll learn that the primary ones aren't important either.  :)
#1155
Let's try to remember that we're all friends here and nobody is trying to personally attack anyone.    :)
Let's post with that in mind please.  Thanks!

Would you be able to provide a quick one or two sentence synopsis of the video? 
Something a bit more than the subject line.  :)

Here's my question then...

What if you can never know your answers?  Are you okay with that?

Great conversation. I also feel crop circles are more man made than not. However here's an idea I just want to throw out there for consideration.

What if most of the circles are indeed man made but guided (subliminally) by ETs?
What if the circles where orbs and saucers have been seen hovering are the ones the ETs are endorsing?
I like to think more along the lines of Tom Campbell's way of thinking about Crop Circles... in that they're Consciousness-created.  So, in a way, they're created "by us"... but subconsciously in an effort to snap ourselves out of some kind of illusory funk.

Who new such a title could get so many interesting and intelligent replies. Great read everyone. I really can't add anything but love the quote below.  :-)
I know what enlightenment is............... damn!  I HAD IT A SECOND AGO!  Gone now.  Oh well.

I think the topic of closed-mindedness rather was meant to be what they believe AP to be or to mean in their frame of reference. Not if they are tolerant or not and how they react to other beliefs or experiences.
And let's face it, you can take ANY segment of the population and find, at the same time, the best and worst of us contained within.  :)

No one group has cornered the market on ignorance.

Many people here have experiences with those.  What's your question?

Though this is an old thread and old question it is still very valid. The answer to this particular question though lies in 'recognizing what you know'. Almost everyone knows how to go into a trance state which is just the jumping off point to an AP, LD or OOBE.

Take factory workers doing the same job everyday. Once their bodies have internalized the motions the mind is no longer needed so it wonders. Soon the whistle blows and it's break time. The worker snaps to attention realizing their mind has been off wondering. This is the exact same thing only you are doing it with the intention of remembering where it went.

If you've never done factory work then you may have done this while driving, washing dishes, riding the subway and list goes on and on.

The point is you know how to do this.
Excellent observation.  :)

You're spot on!

I can't help but agree here. I know labeling helps us understand the context when describing our experiences but have to add my own thoughts. I do believe 'how' we experience things relies heavily on our innate talents.

Much like 3 people all having musical talents. One plays instruments but can not sing. One writes music but can not play well. One can read music and sings well. All talented, all bringing something different to the table and all capable of entertaining on an individual level as well as a group level. I would call them all musically talented.

We can try our hand at any of the approaches (RV, LD, OOBE, AP) and perhaps become a master of all. But we might be better suited to mastering one or two.
I'll give you a direct example of how "labeling" is a negative...

There was a member of the Astral Pulse at one point whom asked me for help on Astral Projecting.
This particular member was, per their own direction, never able to "project".  After talking to him many times and listening to them explain other previous "close calls", I had determined that they *DID* successfully project MANY times, yet, because the person couldn't put their experiences into a neat little defined label, they literally threw out and ignored that experience.

They had a full blown astral projection, but because they were so stuck on labels (LD, AP, etc) they couldn't reconcile their experience and ended up ignoring it.  Even after I told them they had projected just fine, they could't grasp the concept that they had.  Really sad case of someone holding onto labels so strongly that they couldn't see the forest for the trees.

This is why I tell people to expand their own personal definitions or even drop labels altogether if they're able to.

Hi,
There is no download link on the page. (astralforum.org/free-oobe-inducer-software/) Tried in Firefox and Chrome. Add a link?
Per my above post, you won't find a link... probably ever again.

The forum where it was created and hosted is now permanently gone.

Locking this thread.
#1165
We've had issues with people deleting EVERYTHING they've posted in the past... so we've disabled the ability of members to delete their posts.
You also get a set amount of time to "edit" your posts, I believe we have it set to 72 hours right now.

Yes, you can not report yourself.  That is working as intended.

If you have a specific question about a thread or anything else of the nature you're talking about, please PM myself or a moderator and we'll try to help.  :)

Welcome to Magic! / Re: Music

There was a study done decades ago where individuals from various cultures around the world were hooked up to brainwave monitors and their response to various types of music measured.

Responses to a piece of music were nearly identical across all cultures. Even remote cultures that were wayyy off the grid and had never heard most of the music/sound they were exposed to showed the same universal responses.
It'd be interesting to know which music they were using for those tests.
There are pleasant sounds to listen to and illicit a positive response regardless of what part of the world you're in.

The difference I find is when someone here on the Pulse says they meditate to heavy metal or something like that.
THEY find the sounds relaxing... while, it would just grind on my nerves. LOL  :)

How come music can change our frequency so easily? And why is it so easy to store memories with music?
Ah, but is it the music which is changing your "frequency"?  Or is it your association of what the music means to you which changes your "frequency"?  :)

Unless of course that both of you made a agreement before you incarnated that he was to be the bad guy (killer) and you were the good guy (victim) this time around! Someone has to play the part of the "bad guy". Which opens a whole new conversation on "free will".  :|
I'm not sure I hold that particular belief regarding the choosing of our lives anymore.  :)

Could be though.  It could be.

Now the even bigger question is who is the arbiter of these mess ups? Is it our higher self, enlightened masters, guides? Who decides what kind of life you live next according to your works?
The arbiter?  Well, you are.  Who else would you trust to judge yourself?  We are our own worst critics, after-all.  :)
#1169
This is something I've thought a bit about lately...
This is just a random thought I had on the subject.

Consider this for a moment that when you close your eyes and see the "blackness"... realize that you're seeing TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BLACKNESSES.
Each eye sees it's own variation/version of a blackness.

Now, when you start "seeing" things... consider for a moment what that actually means.  What it means for your physical AND your non-physical experiences.

We have zero control over that functionality.  Sorry.

As I understand it living here on earth gives us a history and it's the canvas which gives us being. You can evolve in other spiritual dimensions but it's hard from what I've read. It's much much easier to meditate here and reach enlightenment than it is to evolve in the afterlife. I've heard it been said that you can only get so far meditating in the afterlife. Earth provides a good substrate on which consciousness can evolve into higher and higher forms through evolution. So this restriction we have in dense matter has it's benefits. Also the other benefit is that this life is stable. What is see is what you get. There is little room for illusion. This is why it's the best place to evolve and reach enlightenment.
The irony being that "meditating", by itself, will never lead to enlightenment, however, meditating "here" is no different than meditating "there"... in the end, meditation is a unique experience for YOUR OWN consciousness and has nothing to do with "where" you are.  It's an exercise in connecting with "the self".

The reason why this physical life on Earth is vastly superior for spiritual growth compared to any other non-physical reality is BECAUSE of those limitations.  They provide you with constraints against which you have to make choices and interact with others.  Those choices and interactions are where the vast majority of your spiritual growth comes from.  You can make choices and interact with others in the non-physical as well, but you then lack those "limitations" which makes all the difference.

This video recorded at a Sleep Study Center shows otherwise. The person is certainly showing signs of physical stress from his bout of SP. He did state though that his eyes were closed, but he also exhibited signs of bodily stress, as in a struggle.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXQQjaWxbuY
Maybe I'm strange, but watching people sleep is kinda neat.  :)

But yeah, in this regard, this dude is still technically completely asleep.  Whatever he's experiencing, he's experiencing it in the non-physical.

The most damaging thing you can do is remove another person from this reality against their will (aka: kill another consciousness).
Why?  Because you're removing their ability to learn and grow... and nobody has the right to make that decision for another person (certain extremely rare circumstances aside, that is).

I have seen people manifesting things out of fin air. It one of those things which is interesting if we believe in it or not...

Do you have a pic of your stone or is it still in the trash bin?


All the best
You have *SEEN* people manifesting things?  In person? 

My first instinct is to say that while ANYTHING is definitely possible... I'd say that manifesting something out of nothing would be extremely difficult as it kind of goes against all of the rules of this reality.
This physical reality is essentially a "zero-sum" reality... what is created, needs to be created FROM something... energy can't be created or destroyed.  So, you'd have to take what's currently here and re-organize it in some way to form what you wanted.
