Placebo effect works not only in positive aspect, but in negative as well. I am a clinical trials manager and I work everyday on overseeing different clinical trials and related data. Of course we can't see who is taking what until the end of the trial, but years ago when I worked directly with patients there was a screening phase where all patients are given placebo for a week until we decide which patient qualifies to be enrolled. The patients did not know they were taking placebo, just us. They were told it could be either. Well in one instance one patient started complaining of GI problems. Another patient came to the clinic for their next visit and said to me "I am such a grump, I am so angry and my friends are like, this is not you, what's going on. I think it's the drug". We told both patients to discontinue the pills and during the next visits they both reported resolution of their issues, haha. So, there you have it, we have some pretty powerful minds that can do anything. But we have to be careful what do we believe in.

The FDA only regulates food and drug, they don't meddle in anything else. The pharmas of course cant paten any substance that is natural. They need to survive as they are companies like any other and try to make profit to keep the business running. There is a lot good coming from conventional medicine, but every person is responsible to do their own research and chose the best approach for their health. I never take any drugs blindly just because they were prescribed to me, nor do I trust the doctors completely. I think each institution needs to advertise and convince the consumers of the efficacy of their products. Same for all kinds of holistic medicine. It's up to the consumers to choose. I think people need to start eating healthier, be more  in touch with their minds and nature and listen to their inner self.

The FDA though does not do a good job regulating food quality, nor drug safety. Just my opinion, but this is entirely different matter.

Hi and welcome to the forum! I have heard many great things about acupuncture, however, I have needle phobia. Tell me more about acupressure. Is it as effective? Also, what herbs are most popular for general health maintenance.

Welcome to Dreams! / Re: Clue(less)
June 12, 2018, 07:12:13
Lots of clues indeed, EV, but can we put together the entire puzzle? My dreams are also bizarre most of the time and sometimes I am able to read the message behind the messy scenarios. Sometimes I just ignore them if they are too messed up, so I don't scare myself and out of fear start creating unintentionally unfortunate events. So, lately I have been going more with the flow, releasing the urge for control and sort of given the green light to my higher self to teach me whatever I need and if there are challenges I will face them and do my best to get the messages behind the lessons. No one wants to suffer, but if necessary for the greater good, then so be it. All I am focused to is to understand everyone and everything that happens and not judge even in the slightest but to understand what lesson someone is learning by experiencing what they are experiencing. I like to observe people and their lives and make sense of the big WHY. That's why I try to look at my life through a third party [perspective and analyze it that way, so my ego doesn't interpret things the wrong way because of my own emotions and beliefs. At the end of the day, go with your instincts.

But I will say it again, all my APs are perfectly in order, no scary things or anything that doesn't make sense, very enjoyable. Only dreams get bizarre. I almost wish we didn't dream LOL, just APd. I hope when we shed our physical bodies, we never have to experience something like dreams. Perhaps awareness is essential for orderly experiences, otherwise what we call subconscious is only in control and it creates rather symbolic temporary images that we perceive. Many times I can relate these to my daily life. For example, I went to the hair salon the other day, I was afraid the stylist will cut my hair too short. She didn't but I had that thought. So at night, I was dreaming that my hair was short like a boy cut and I panicked. Many times, when I cut sugar for a while, my body start craving sweets, so frequently I would dream that I am at events where they serve sweets. When my bladder is full, frequently I will start dreaming that I am looking for a bathroom. So, dreams are highly connected to our daily life, and our thoughts constantly create at every minute. But because our thoughts, emotions and beliefs are so many and so scattered, when we get to observe that area of raw energy that our thoughts constantly create from, we can actually see what we are creating, even just temporary. Interactions with other souls are also observed through the lenses of our subconscious during dreams. Now, when thoughts are persistent and beliefs are strong, that energy and forms, events we create become more charged and stay formed for a while, then they manifest into our reality as events.

Who is in charge? I think our true self is far more complicated than we realize. It may be composed of many aspects connected to other characters, lifetimes, parallel realities, the source of what we were crated, ets. But I know that the ultimate goal is leaning so whatever it takes gets arranged somehow to be experienced (I don't even want to pretend I know, no one knows, but that's ok. We are not supposed to know everything while in the game). 

The doors in your dreams I think represent probabilities and choices. If you enter one door, will lead you to certain experiences, may be farther from what you need to learn. If you open another, you may get closer to what you are looking for. I think through observing the options you have now in your life you can try to analyze what would happen if you open each one and eventually make the right decision, which one to open and which ones to lock and never enter.

To resist sexual temptation shows control. Not many people can do this. So, this is a good sign, you have control of what choices you want to make in life and that no temptations of any sort can distract you and make you open the wrong door. Good job!

The fact that you don't understand the point of being here, means that you NEED to be here in order to understand the point of human life and all the people you observe. There is a huge meaning of human life, of any character's existence for that matter, no matter where we end up in the multiverse for a certain time. You may think that many people dont learn anything and there is no point, but I think otherwise. Every single experience, the good, the bad and the ugly adds to the expansion of consciousness not only to the person himself but all others that interact. In a way, all of us here on earth, even those from the past and the future affect each other's experiences and knowledge expansion. These are the waves of the mass consciousness to drive the entire earth's global events, and you are a part of it. You affect the directions towards mass events without even knowing it just by thinking every moment of everyday.  Again, knowledge comes always, no matter if people realize they have gained knowledge. Spiritually, all experiences keep filling up the cup of knowledge. Use your time here to understand the point of human existence and the beauty and excitement of every moment of everyday. Only through appreciation you will fill fulfilled. Nothing in this multiverse is without a point. All you need to do is ask in silence with intent and your curiosity will awaken. But if you keep reinforcing your feeling of emptiness, the more empty and without point you will feel. I understand that by discovering some truths we may feel different than most people, but we should not think less of them. Everyone is following their paths and they are exactly where they need to be in their learning journey.

P.S. getting involved in volunteer opportunities helping others will bring back the point of being here. Just an idea if you have free time in hands and feeling bored. Boredom sometimes makes me feel that time is not moving, but finding things to do, may be fun things or helping others make me feel fulfilled and happy.

The freakiest dream I've had in a long while. Not a LD, just a dream. I had no awareness of any kind. I was hiding from a dark entity. It finally got me, grabbed me with his claw and flew up with me. He was like a devil type. I sensed great negativity and darkness. He said that he was going to drop me from the top of a volcano into the lava. I was frightened. However, I asked him sincerely to let me go. All of a sudden we were flying over a city and I recognized Las Vegas, but covered with smog and haze. Kind of gray looking, no colors or lights. I saw the Eifel tower and asked him to drop me on the top of the Eifel tower. To my surprise he did. He dropped me gently on the top and flew away. At that time, I felt strongly that I was a part of him, that he was me. That was very strange. I rushed to the elevator to get down and there was one of my childhood friends named Svetlana. Her name means Light. I often dream of her and her sister named Venera, which is the name of the planet Venus. Names in my dreams have great significance. So I thought that the Light is with me to help. She opened the elevator for me and said come one, lets get down. At that time I woke upa nd I was frozen with fear, still feeling the dark energy, but at the same time I felt that thsi dark energy was a part of me, I was him and he was I. My first thought was that we as charachters experiemnce absolutley everything in many worlds. We are as bad as we could imagine in one life, and as good as God himself in another. I know my first feeling was right. I have thought for a while now about thsi theory of mine and that it helps greatly to not judge anyone no matter what. Becuse it is all a part of the experience that is necessary. If now, we are good, we were not always, but we needed it. So those who are bad now, are good in a nother life, therefore I understand every action of everyone ever lived in all possible lives.

When I fell back to sleep, I started dreaming that there was this evil entity shooting destructive energy to me and a group of people that were around me. I couldnt recognize them. I said "all together, we can defeat him. So we started shooting energy towards him with our hands. The energy was vizible from him and from us. All of a sudden one of the group went to his side to fight against us. I was on the front of the group, so I positioned one hand towards the evil entity and the other hand towards the trator and started shooting energy. They were doing the same towards us, so it was the battle of the energies. I felt hot when tehir energies were penetrating ours. But we pushed hard. Aftger a few seconds, the trator started twitching and holes forming on his body. He started leaking water and finally exploaded from my energy. One of my people also exploaded from tehir energy. At last the evil entity exploaded as well and I knew it was done. A big battle was won. Then I woke up and and felt great.
#1206
Yes, many times. I pretty much feel everywhere at home no matter where I am either here on Earth or in the higher dimensions. But I have experienced places that felt more like home type of belonging, feeling safe and very joyful. I think this comes from my human nature though. We should not limit ourselves with the idea of having just one true home somewhere and keep longing to return. This would be very limiting for our journeys. We are travelers, we need to travel often no matter where we are, so we can expand our knowledge through various experiences. EVERYWHERE is our home. Our home is the entire multiverse. Of course depending on your mood you can find a place where for example your loved ones have gathered and you want to feel that connection and family type of thing for a while. By all means, have those places, but don't let thoughts of "the outside world" being hostile, unfriendly or unsafe, because these very thoughts will form your experiences. Be open to feel comfortable anywhere you go and excited to interact with all kinds of consciousness, make friends, go for adventures, etc. Think of the entire multiverse like your house, but with so many rooms in it that you explore one by one. It is still your home, no matter which room you go to or sleep in.
#1207
I too have many strange dreams. Sometimes I can interpret them, but they are HIGHLY symbolic. Sometimes they just don't make ANY sense LOL. The APs are very organized, nothing weird. But my dream last night was rather exciting. I really thought I was in real life and I got soooo excited that I have discovered teleportation. I remember talking on skype with my family back home and all of a sudden my sister's arm extended and appeared in my room out of a thin air and handed me a piece of clear tape. I have no idea why tape LOL, but I grabbed it, her hand disappeared and I realized that I just got an object from the other side of the globe and I knew how to teleport myself home anytime I wanted to. Then I found myself sitting with all of them in the living room back home. I was ecstatic. I really felt like if I was sitting right now and realizing that in the physical world I have discovered how to teleport. You know how in dreams no matter what unusual thing you experience you don't seem to even realize that it is unusual, you accept everything as is. But this one was different in that respect. When I woke up though, I was pretty disappointed that it was just a dream. I don't remember the technique by which one can teleport. Maybe next time I should pay more attention and really discover it for real.
#1208
Very interesting, Lumaza! After all, evil is just lack of knowledge and not an origin energy, therefore it can take its true form upon realization. I don't know why, but while reading your experience I automatically imagined scenes from the show "Prison Break" LOL. I loved that show. Perhaps if the killer learns sooner than the remaining days, both of you can find a way to escape. That would be an adventure :wink:
#1209
I think that Earth already exists simultaneously in many many dimensions, many alternative realities as well as our spirits. Whether this frequency energy that composes Earth as we are currently perceiving it will shift somehow, I don't know. But as I said a duplicate of this exact system already exit in this so called 5th dimension, we (as we currently perceive ourselves) are just perceiving the slower frequency. During AP for example we can tune into that 5th dimension or any other dimension. I think this frequency is necessary and will always exist for differed purposes, no matter how evolved spiritually we may become. I don't know if we can make our physical bodies and the entire earth's energy higher so that they no longer have to physically die in order to tune to different higher frequencies. Then if Earth shifts what happens to the surrounding planets and stars in our physical universe?  I don't think if this is possible that it will happen anytime soon though. The masses are not ready yet. We are certainly growing more spiritually thanks to the technological shift that happened recently. I think this milestone by itself is a huge one. People now have so much information at their fingertips that any curious thought can be satisfied by immediate finding of information, whereas before you had to go to the library and endlessly search for something on the subject that interests you. Also through so much information exchange on all kinds of media, many people get exposed to information that may trigger curiosity and from there search for answers.
#1210
I felt sort of the same way, Nameless last year. I felt that if I had so much power to help others and help the world I should, and I had the strong desire. I also felt guilt if I heard of someone sick and not trying with all my energy to heal them, or to try to stop the crazy politicians destroy the world. I didn't understand why so much pain is needed to a point of brutality. Cant we grow without so much of it. Well, my body gave in one day and couldn't handle all that energy I was either spending or attracting. I don't know what happened, but I got very sick. Doctors couldn't tell what exactly was wrong. All tests came back negative, yet I felt physically and mentally very ill. I realized that I must have gotten my energies way out of wack due to the strong emotions preceding the event and the numerous energy work. I learned so much from this happening, and the more realizations I made about why everything is they way it is, the better my health was getting. I realized I needed to ground myself and stay away from AP for a while. I realized that everyone carry their burden the way they have set them up and I was trying to interfere and stop their challenges. Now, I help of course, but only if someone is asking, meaning they are ready to receive and they are seeking help. If they seem far from their lesson, I cant try to stop their learning. Even if I succeeded it would be temporary and another similar event will repeat in their lives again. And even though deep down I knew all this, I was preaching it here long ago, yet sometimes I wondered is this excessive pain and tragedies many people around the world experience really necessary. Now, I am at piece and I have completely understood it and have let go of so much pain from my past that I did not understand, including the passing of my dad. If I had the power to resurrect him, I would, but I realized he would be yelling from above, "Nooooooo, it's so cool here, you want to bring me back to hell" LOL. After all, this is just a game, so I continue playing it, just a lot more chilled and care free.
#1211
Nameless, those negative thoughts I think are a result of our human nature, survival instinct and the way we perceive logic. When I catch myself thinking negatively, like a worst scenario of something, I imagine this scenario in a form of a painting on a glass and punch that glass. It shatters in many pieces and that way, I have destroyed that possibility. Then I replace it with the best case scenario, because logically any scenario is possible, but most likely what we hold our attention to may result in some sort of manifestation closest to what we are thinking. So, try to replace them immediately and destroy them in whatever way you find to be fun. Also Wayne Dyer said to replace the fear with curiosity. Meaning you should be curious why are you afraid or thinking these thoughts, and this most likely will lead you to an answer of what you should be working on. Perhaps letting go of something in the past, letting go of something negative you perceive in someone or yourself.

My greatest latest discovery is forgiveness to everyone and yourself. Even those who do not realize they are hurting you. Make a list of anyone in the past and present that have even in the slightest offended you in any way. Forgive sincerely and you will free yourself of soooooo much negativity. Sometimes we are not even aware that we have stored negativity by past hurt that we have forgotten. But it is actually still within us. I have thought now of so many people going back from kindergarten. Hundreds of people so far I have forgiven and continue to do so on a weekly basis. This has become such a reflex, that even if something happen in the moment, I immediately say I forgive you. Although this is very rare, I no longer encounter confrontational situations with anyone even strangers on the street that you interact in one way or another. I don't even have people cutting me off on the freeway anymore. I think I have freed myself from automatic negative thinking about people and nothing negative happens anymore, only pleasant a=encounters.
#1212
That's interesting. Have you recently thought of doing your DNA through 23 and me or ancestry? I know someone found a half brother and a half sister through their dad's infidelity. I think this is fascinating, but I don't want to do mine incase they find alien DNA and have the gov kidnap me LOL.
The only AP I have had closest to this was going under the ocean and finding a door. When I entered there was a huge laboratory like with many people in while coats testing stuff. There were also other rooms with professors giving lectures to people, just like in college, but the students looked more mature. I explored this facility with interest, people were looking at me, but they did not express anything unusual by my presence.
#1213
Sending positive energy her way. Here is a suggestion for dietary changes. Tumors feed of glucose. They have no other food source. By cutting out glucose forming food the tumors will shrink. Do some research on a low carb diet, dairy and gluten free. Low inflammatory foods, gut healing food like home made bone broth. Rich probiotic foods like fermented veggies and coconut yogurt are perfect. gut health is extremely important for the proper absorption of nutrients and from there heightened immune system. I had a little lump non malignant but still a tumor type on my forearm beneath the elbow. I had this for maybe 10 years and last year when I went on a low carb diet for a few months it completely disappeared. That makes me think this glucose cutting theory actually works.
#1214
Great point, EV! I too am getting more and more clear about the oneness, that we are all one at the end, just experiencing individuality for the purpose of simultaneous diverse experiences and keep All That Is (including what we perceive as the individual us) in a state of becoming and ever evolving. Since I am understanding more this concept, I am beginning to discard the perception of superiority. No one is superior in any way to another. For example a doctor vs a trash collector. They are all equally important to the experience and received knowledge that adds to All That Is and to each and everyone of us as individuals if you will, because we are all connected, although we cant consciously perceive it and comprehend it as human characters. Even those individuals that we perceive are destroying and not adding, this to me is a false perception, because this experience is too necessary in order to understand Love and Light.
#1215
For me, my dreams are a direct replay of something that had held my attention during the day, either good or bad. For example if I watch a movie with volcano erupting, I will dream of such scenarios. For me personally my dreams are a temporary thought formation of my subconscious emotions triggered from my physical life. And sometimes, not even from my own physical life experiences, like the example of just watching a movie with intense emotions.  On the other hand, I have many APs, which are very different from dreams and during those explorations, I have no fears no matter what I encounter. They are 99% very pleasant, enjoyable and exciting, because my consciousness leads the experiences. And although dreams also take place in the astral, to me they are more symbolic and as I said instances of thought molding energy, surrounding your physical personality. Sometimes my dreams are very bizarre, then I just laugh when I wake up, what is going on in my sub consciousness LOL. That's why I am more focused on my APs.
So, to sumarize, to me dreams take place in the non-physical area sort of almost duplicate, the closest to your physical personality perspective, and the experiences are lead by your subsonsios thoughts however you understand subsconsiosness to be. It forms temporarty scenarios out of raw energy but most in a form of symbols than acuality if you will. The subconsiosness to me is all about symbolism. But here is another thing. We think that we are here and the non-physical is some place else. Well, it is more complicated than that. The only reason you cant perceive the so called non-physical is because of your 5 senses and the activity of your brain. As soon as these are shut off you are free to see and explore what actually is happening around you. You ARE in the non-physical right now as you are reading this. Just the veil of the body awakefullness is not letting you truly SEE. As soon as you fall asleep, your subconsiosness finds itself already there, we don't have to leave our bodies, it is just a matter of focus of the layer of energy worlds that you want to perceive. Now, I am not clear about time and space in the non-physical. All I know if that when I AP, I can fly and perceive distance. Not necessarily passing of time, but again I experience series of events. Perhaps it is not the same space and time as we perceive here, or it's just our thoughts navigating experiences based on what we know of this physical world. Whatever it is, I don't care much to understand because we cant, but I know that based on your expectations you can experience magnificent thngs during AP that cant compare to the best vacation here on earth :). Just learn to AP and enjoy.
#1216
I think all consciousness interact in many levels whether we as these characters here realize it or not. Each exchange of interaction and the received information is considered guidance, in many cases mutual if you will. We all have received guidance and have provided as well. Sometimes other parts of our spirit -higher self as we understand it) may provide information in forms of intuition, sudden thoughts, etc to show us the right direction and assist in decision making. There could be deceased loved ones providing assistance and being with us in difficult or happy important moments. There could be other beings that may be attached to each person and supply us with glimpses of knowledge. I think the possibilities are endless, but consciousness always interact in multiple levels that we here can barely really notice, however much of this interaction and knowledge are received and used throughout our journeys and we perceive it as growth and evolution . When I helped spirits in the astral, I may have appeared as an angel to them LOL, I don't know. All I know is that if you ask and listen in stillness, you will receive your answer one way or another, sooner or later. Even if you don't ask, just through experience and interactions we all grow, but I have noticed that if I really want to know something, rather than forgetting about it and going with the flow, if I focus and apply some effort to think about it for a while and during deep meditation focus on this question, I always receive an answer most times in form of strong intuition and thoughts, or signs and symbols even here in the physical.
#1217
He could be an author, only his story may be boring, lol. Look at authors like JRR Tolkien. He created an entire world with hundreds of characters and even the regions' own languages. If your friend gets enthusiastic and as its God sends that world in space, things will change, get more interesting, space time travel, other planets habitants interactions. And there you have a great book. He just has to write it down and get out of his comfort zone and logic :) 
#1218
Behind every physical misalignment there is energetic misbalance. But how do we find out what is it so we can address it. This can be answered only by the person himself. You need to ask and listen to your inner self. It can come in many different forms, intuition, sudden thought, a vision, etc. many times this is related to certain lessons we need to learn. We may not like what we find out because lessons are hard, but if you want to remove this misbalance you need to act and make the effort to fix the issue. It's not as simple as cleaning your aura for example. If your lesson is to make an effort to change your lifestyle and take responsibilities on how you treat your body, then this is what you need to do. Search the net for reversing diabetes and you will find out countless account of success. However, an effort must be made to change your diet and exercise routine, because when the statement everything is energy is trues, unfortunately here the energies move slower and our physical bodies ARE in fact affected by the laws of physics. Meaning, even if you don't believe in poison, if you drink one you will die. Same principle with the food we put in our bodies. Some people are fortunate to have strong genes and not be affected by junk food much, but most are. So we have to take responsibilities to take care of our bodies. If you want to indulge in food, sure continue the same way, but if you wish to be pain free, this needs to change. With the right nutrition for eye sight like vitamins A and E, you can get a significant improvement. But complications from diabetes down the line don't end with eye problems only. Meditate to balance your internal energy, but also act as a human in this world and play by these rules as well to have complete harmony. Good luck!
#1219
Who says fun is not allowed in the astral? The only reason I AP is to have fun, discover new worlds, eat that chocolate cake that I cant eat here LOL. I'm done with the spiritual growth. I know it all LOL, now it's reward time  :-D
But of course if anyone feels guilty that this privilege should not be abused with just fun and believes that effort to learn something must be made, then just this EFFORT type of mentality will be stopping you from APing. Just relax and see where your mind will take you. You can set destinations or you can just go with the flow. But never limit yourself with thoughts of wrong and right. There is no such a thing. Experience of any kind makes us grow anyway no matter where we are, even if we are not aware of it.
Willpower to me equals how bad do you want something. If you want it so bad, you will always find a way, or a way will be presented to you by the universe. There is a difference though between "I really really want it" and "I ABSOLUTLEY MUST HAVE IT". Do you see the difference in the INTENTION itself. If you are stuck on the first type of desire (the one that it is present but does not have enough energy charge behind it), then you should spend some time to analyze the exact reasons why do you want to reach the second level of desire. Keep charging it with emotions until you reach that stage of absolutely must have it. Don't tense the desires with fear though, because that will keep tightening thing even more. Always expect the best outcome, never the worst. If you find yourself worrying of the outcome, know that there are endless possibilities, but we have the power to choose at each moment which one to experience. Know your power!

How does "love everybody" figure into this? Just love them, but let them carry their burdens?

Love will not reach them if they are not ready or to accept it. If they are ready to accept it, that means their lesson is complete and they no longer need to carry that burden. However, love will always affect the sender whether it reaches its destination or no, in a way that we still do not understand.

The bigger picture of consciousness interaction and the law of attraction is far more complex than this simple theory you presented.

  While on the road I have come across many people that had major loss in their lives. One show I did in Nebraska, I had a friend that had lost his home to a devastating Tornado. The first few years was all stress and sadness for them.
I talked to him 10 years later and their whole attitude had changed. The guy now said that if it wasn't for the Tornado destroying their lives, their lives wouldn't have improved like it was today. The man had a beautiful new home, new job and even a new wife. But now, he was at peace. From the chaos, came order. As it always does. That devastating Tornado forced the change that he was always fighting. But in the end, he looks at it in a whole different light.

That reminds me of my own experiences. Every time there is something negative happening in my life, I now know to ask "Why did it happen and what is it that I need to change". Because I know there is a very good reason. And every single time, shortly after asking, I receive the answers in a form of a thought if you will. And when I dive deeper into the issues, I realize it's  because I'm procrastinating to do something important, I am afraid of certain changes and I don't take certain chances, etc. The moment I make that change, the negative situation disappears and things improve even more than they were prior.

I guess the question then becomes will there be higher level beings that oversee who reincarnates into where and if they are looking at more than just intent for your past life. They just might be looking for the actual effects of our actions. Certainly that is where we can learn the most.

I personally don't believe that someone else decides what should we experience. The individual spirit itself has the intelligence to decide what experiences they need to learn certain things. Don't forget that in pure spirit you can see with a much larger perspective than while in a character. For example, some people have asked me, who in their right mind will bring upon themselves cancer to suffer. And I say, you are thinking now as a human, as a personality with a very very limited view and you cant understand this at this time.
Any situation that we think we didn't extract enough knowledge, will repeat again either in this life or another. If your spirit is not satisfied with the amount of knowledge received from this life, will create another character and will design similar situations until the desired knowledge is received. I personally think if you drop out of college but have the slightest guilt, doubt, etc. this is unfinished business to me. It will have to repeat. If you have no regrets though, that may mean you have already been there, done that many many times. No need to do it again in this life. Your focus in in something else more important, I guess. But that's just my opinion.

Excellent question, Lumaza! I hope more members participate.

I've been practicing for 15 years. I succeeded on my 3rd week after consistently performing WB's visualization/motion technique. I have to stress that a few key elements are essential for success.
1. You have to do the technique every night for at least 4 weeks.
2. You have to do it as you are falling asleep. You can start 20 min before you ger sleepy to avoid premature passing out.
3. When you are awaken in the middle of sleep by the vibes, don't panic and don't stay in that state too long, because you will wake yourself up completely. Think mentally that you are standing by the door for example and you will be teleported so to speak.

I will never stop practicing, simply because the AP adventures are such a thrill. There is so much you can explore and experiment with. It's like if someone gives you tickets to go on vacation, will you refuse? LOL. It's the same thing. This life can get boring at times, so some extra adventures in the NP are most welcome. There are things that I wouldn't have realized otherwise. This is not essential for spiritual growth, because life itself is, however, through opportunities to help other beings through AP, I receive great satisfaction. I also meet with my dad in occasions, which gives me a tramendeous comfort.
Recently, I started actually hearing beautiful piano music during SP. I get awaken in the middle of the night with very loud piano melodies. The first time when I woke up I thought, OMG if I knew how to write music, I would have composed this beautiful piece. That triggered a very strong urge to learn how to read, write music and play piano. So, I bought a keyboard, books, DVDs, etc and now it has been 3 months, I can read music and I have learned the basics. I have one complicated song that I can play smoothly already, and the next step is to try composing either through meditation state while I'm at the piano, or asking to hear it during AP and replicate it when I wake up.

Many people have the wrong perception that while you AP, you leave the body like an empty shell. This is not true. You simply refocus a part of your awareness to a non-physical environment while most of your physical senses are surprise to s certain point. While you are physically alive, your spirit energy is always connected no matter in what state you are (dream, AP, trans, meditation, etc). A part of you brain in fact never ever goes to sleep. You are still breathing and your senses are still active to a certain point. Take dreams for example. They do take place in the non-physical, whether within your subconscious environment or other areas. Do you worry if your body will be ok when you fall asleep? Same goes for AP. Many times I snap back from APs in the morning when it's my regular wake up time. That means my body is still working properly and when my senses wake up, that ends my APs.


I'll add one more thing. Your spirit is already in many non-physical levels at all time. It is the physical senses that keep you blinded to see where you actually are, and when they shut down(naturally during sleep), you find yourself there (perceived as dreams). If you manage to gain awareness though through techniques that we teach here, then you take yourself out of your subconscious environment and explore the non-physical however you want.

The world is way over populated LOL. No worries, I don't envy the next generations. I myself don't want to create a child who will suffer the consequences of the stupidity of those in power from all over the world. They most likely will breathe even dirtier air, eat artificial food and live through nuclear wars.
