I have a 'nickel' that I can add to this ... I have also mentioned this before here ...

Yes, we are NOT here to learn ... or to redeem ... or to somehow deal with past karma (mistakes) ... we are here for the joy of the expansion of consciousness ... calling this 'experience' (as you have above) is a decent way of pointing to this. Generally ... each human on this planet is here to expand conscious experience. It is that simple.

There is no question of 'choice' in that. There is always choice. In fact, our choices of this human lifetime go back to the original choice we made come here for expansion.

Actually, through experience you ALWAYS learn something whether you realize it or not, whether you want to or don't. How does one's consciousness expand? I think through adding knowledge through experience. So to me the ultimate purpose of spirit individuality is learning through various experiences. I have gone through this many times. When I suddenly realize why something is happening to me over and over again, it stops, there is no need anymore, because I have learned a certain lesson. And this realization and the knowledge is what expands my spirit. So, the element of learning is attached so to speak to the experience.

I think that results of energy manipulation to manifest here are faster during AP or deep trans state. I have experienced this many times. Sometimes I also try to heal sinus infections, headaches just by focusing, but it's not as fast as if I am in AP. However, as our believes increase that this is absolutely possible, the strong belief itself charges the raw energy with much greater strength for faster manifestation. This applies to any area of our lives.

Yes, absolutely. What happens in the physical is a result of raw energy manipulation in what we call the astral, not the other way around.

I've also had dreams and APs of this sort. One of them was of a large planet so close to Earth that it seemed like it was going to collide. On the opposite side of the sky there was also a large planet, I am not sure if it was the moon, but it appeared maybe 5 times larger. The sky was reddish dark and it was quite scary. Perhaps, in some parallel reality, Earth is in a different planetary system.

I think some of the characteristics of this animal correspond with parts of your own personality. We also interact with animal spirits all the time. That reminds me of the old stories I used to read a long time ago about the native Indians, their strong connection to nature and their communication with animal spirits.
I can imagine your patronus being a Bear if you were at Hogwarts (Sorry, couldn't resist. I' m a huge Harry Potter fan). I've been in that world (in the astral) several times. One time I even got into a scene, which a year later I saw during the movie premiere. I don't even know if the book was even published yet at the time of my AP trip. I was speechless. I could not believe my eyes. It was pretty amazing.

Great experiences, blidge! You've ended a fear cycle by reacting to the fear with the greatest weapons of all - Love
The results of your healing are very impressive. You already know how it's done, so if you need to heal yourself or others, do the same thing during APs. You can also focus on healing during mediation.
When I read your story last night before bed, I had a few dreams myself that involved my fears. Maybe for some reason I subconsciously requested to work on them. I never thought they were anything to worry about though. For example I have a fear of being in elevators if I get stuck, I think I will suffocate. I also have needle phobia, medical procedures, blood, etc. So, my two dreams involved exactly these scenarios, only this time I did not panic. It was like an action movie where the main characters always find a way out. When I woke up, I felt very energized.

I'm so happy you are back, Lumaza! Two days before you reappeared, I was looking for you on the other forum. I started worrying.
It's amazing that your students succeeded with this technique. I agree, that Focus if so important not only for AP, but for any areas in our lives.
The following is a suggestion to everyone: Try focusing on the index finger of your right hand. You will see that within one minute you will start feeling sensations. That means your thoughts are alive, they interact with every cell in our bodies. They interact with all energy around us. They exist in all levels of the multiverse and can take our spirits anywhere. Think of your thoughts as the greatest tool you can ever possess. Many people think that thoughts have no measure,  but they are wrong. If thoughts became suddenly visible in our reality, people will be very careful with their negative and scattered thoughts. They manipulate the unseen energy at all time and manifest into events, circumstances, etc at a later time.
Continuing Focused thoughts have extra strength and power, greater than any of us can understand at the moment. And I do love focusing on inner motion. It's my favorite technique. I never thought of roller coaster, but I'll give it a try.

Very well said, EV

Humans and any other life forms that we may encounter in physical like realities also exist in what we call non physical realities in multiple levels. Of course it's a matter of choice, but still.....Anything can exist anywhere in the multiverse.

So is there a general consensus that racists can exist in the astral? That is in the same capacity that bigots can exist in the astral.

Anything can exist in the astral, as it's just another place (endless places actually) where spirits with their personalities create and experience accordingly. Any thought from any spirit suggests a personality. If it was just our physical reality and each of us has only one life, and then immediately after that is the oneness, things don't add up. At least not from APs and NDEs explorations. If that was the case, we wont be sensing presence of guides or see and hear ghosts if you will. They have no physical bodies, yet they are there and it seems like they have personalities Or our APs and NDEs are all illusions?
Also, learning from others' experiences is not the same as experiencing it yourself. I can describe to you what love feels like, but unless you have the circumstances through which you will get to directly feel it, you will never truly know. This is where reincarnation makes sense. There can be no true knowledge without direct experience. And by reincarnation I don't only mean experiencing earthly lives throughout the ages. We can assume any personality at any reality less or more thought responsive.

If we experience only one personality ever, then what amount of knowledge will we gain. I am not talking reincarnation only in the physical, but in many other dimensions. Lets not separate what we call physical and all other levels of existence regardless of thought responsiveness. What knowledge will a baby who lives a few hours only will receive? Or the fruit fly, LOL. Think about it.
Individual spirits will always have personalities no matter where they are. It's a part of the multiversal existence. If you only decide to merge completely with the source and become one with everything, then you will lose your personality, but then there will be no more learning. The reason the source spread as endless personalities is to continue growing and expanding. Otherwise there will be just one static ball of energy

I don't think we loose our personality immediately after death. If it was so, when we project there will be no interactions with different entities. They do have personalities, right? Many of us have done retrievals, and the spirits trapped still retained their personalities, fears, beliefs, that's why they were trapped. Also, we as the personalities we know currently exist simultaneously in many many levels.

Read though your topic... Looks like it was a pretty good discussion. Thanks for sharing.

Good to see, i was not the only one who thought to start a post on it LOL!!

Many of us here think alike . That's a sign that everyone should watch the movie.
The clip you posted here and the moment she punched his chest and his astral body flew out of the physical was the moment I was like "Wooooow, that's interesting" LOL. Then a lot of valid points followed throughout the movie. I didn't know anything about this character though. Never heard of him, so I did not expect the AP elements. It was a nice surprise.

Look down below on the same page. I made a post with the same title, when I watched the movie in the theater

difference between the perspective of an earthling vs. that of an eternal soul.

Earthlings are also eternal souls, just experiencing temporary personalities in controlled environments for learning purposes.
If you understand that there is endless number of realities where spirits explorer through the perspective of various characters, then you will stop worrying about where is our world headed to. Some worlds may be destroyed so to speak because of the state of the mass consciousness during learning. Some will prosper, and some will linger in balanced state for long, etc. But that doesn't really matter. One journey is over, another begins. Everyone will "awake" in their own time wherever and whenever they are when there is enough knowledge to trigger that event. Nothing and no one can force knowledge upon another. We cant be angry at the ones that have no idea who they really are, because they are in the mids of their journeys, they are learning. Let them continue doing so. This is a school ground.

These "magical" things happen to all of us all the time ! The only reason we do not notice(remember) them is we are so busy (and so serious)  with ourselves striving to get ,to become, to fix, to be loved etc  that we do not see stuff under our noses. The law of attraction is so widely misunderstood , I know bunch of people who have attended Abraham Hicks channeling (that had  introduced this law to the world) workshops many times and still keep missing the whole point of this law which is if you want to manifest something you need to become it ! In a nutshell the person who desires and the object that is desired become one. It requires you to feel with the same kind of dedication on one hand and the same kind of surrender/letting go on the other hand that we use for  successful AP practice.

Love and Peace   

Very true, skeptic! We create things at all times, but because of the "delayed effect" many people are not aware of it. And because we have millions of thoughts everyday. Whatever dominates shows up as events, circumstances, people in our lives, etc. If everyone realize that, they will be more careful what they are thinking about most of the time and what state of mind they are in. Techniques of focused thoughts are very helpful, like you mentioned above becoming one with the object or event you desire. I think this is a powerful one. I personally imagine that I am one magnet and whatever I want is the other magnet and there is a strong pulling force between us. There is no other way but eventually the force to pull both together.

Awesome! Yes, sometimes if you have strong expectations, immediate events can happen. I still see these as created circumstances and opportunities, although I do want to believe that actual magic is possible, like stretching out my hand and manifesting a $20 bill out of nothing 
Something similar happened to me and my sister one time in Vegas. We were so pumped up and excited, that everywhere we went, we kept winning and finding money. In 3 days we got about $2000. Besides that many magical things happened. We wanted to see snow so badly. It was Christmas day and two hours later it started snowing, although this was not on the forecast. While we were waiting in line for a ride, we heard one of the locals being surprised that it hadn't snowed that much  in Vegas around this time of year in 10 years. Also, we both had strange dreams, but we were staying at the Luxor, you know a pyramidal structure. Definitely some strong energy there. We were watching TV and I said "I feel like watching "Everybody Loves Raymond". The next channel I clicked, guess what, it was that show. We both yelled in amazement and started laughing and talking about all the extraordinary things that were happening.

To me, the law of attraction doesn't work like waving a wand and creating things out of thin air. In slow realities, it's more of believing that certain things are possible, your thoughts manipulate the invisible energies and circumstances start lining up in your life presenting opportunities upon which we must act. For example something is telling you to get a lottery ticket at a certain moment and it ends up winning. Or you get a job offer that earns a good income. But you have to do something in order to receive. You have to play the lottery, or you have to accept that job, etc. The same applies with skills. I will give you an example with myself. About a month and a half ago, I had that strong desire to learn how to play piano. I knew nothing about it. I wasn't sure if I was capable of playing with both hands at the same time, but my desire pushed me to find out. I got a keyboard, books and DVDs. Before I started, I took some time to meditate on the fact that there is nothing impossible and I can do this. I let this thought sink into my mind to a point where is became the only option - success. Two weeks later, I learned how to read music. I got some sheet music and now I can almost play my first song fluently with both hands, and this is not a simple song. I jumped ride away learning complex music. I didn't even open the book for the beginners. All this in about a month and a half, not even practicing every day and without a teacher. So, skills need to be learned and practiced, but with strong desire and belief that this can happen extraordinary fast and you will become really good, it can happen.

I sway really easily, like within moments of lying down, I just have to move my eyes a bit or think about it and I sway, I just cannot get out of m body no matter what i try.

Set your alarm to wake you up in the middle of the night and before going back to sleep do the swaying. You need to allow your brain waves to diminish. If you are too awake, the chances are slim.

Hi Lightbeam and thanks for the reply. Yeah you've a point when it comes to energy and attracting energy types that reflect what you are, this applies in this physical reality. i noticed the real change in my ife when i started meditation when i was a teenager. From then on my spiritual journey, health, the kind of people that Ive attracted is much improved.

But the main reason that i ask this question about limitations is what are the possibilities of looking and experiencing ones life, specifically events or certain traumatic times in the astral? kind of reliving it only made the more realistic because you are aware of what is happening but as a way to look at and act out a traumatic time but without fear. Is this possible? i know you cant change the event from happening like time travel which im of or change things but to relive and be able to kind of watch with new eyes.
your thoughts please..

You can relive anything from your life in the astral. I have relived some dear memories from my childhood and it was so amazing experiencing these past events, but with my current knowledge. There is nothing like it. A lot more enjoyable, because you realize that nothing is ever lost. It's a matter of focus. There is no really past or future, you experience whatever and wherever you focus to in the now. But for negative events, I wouldn't suggest going back to them, unless you wish to extract some knowledge, or understand why did they happen. Whether you will have fear or not depends entirely on you.

Of course there are limitations, but that depends entirely on the individual (beliefs, fears, expectations, overall state of mind, etc) For example individuals with destructive, negative thoughts can't go to worlds made of love, light and positivity. This is an energy law, there are no guardians or anything. Different energy types simply cannot coexist for long. Exceptions I think are controlled environments with set rules for learning purposes like our reality. But even here, I found that if I believe that no negative situations or people will come my way, they don't. After I changed my beliefs, my life has changed dramatically, and in the past few years, I have been experiencing only blissful events and people.

From AP experiences, yes, I have encountered limitations. There were times, when I wanted to meet actors I had crushes on LOL. That didn't happen haha, I don't know why. Besides the silliness though, I think everyone experiences limitations. Inability to get to places they want to go, inability to pass through walls, vision issues, awareness issues, etc, but I think many of these are related to the fact that we are still connected to physical vehicles. From what I've read on NDEs, I gather that many of these limitations are absent.

I think we have to forget the laws of physics where we think that something (your spirit for example) must be moved from one place to another in order to be in that other surrounding and observe, interact, etc, and that it can only be in one place at a time.
Well, the laws of physics the way scientists present them are false even when it comes to this reality, simply because there is so much on the invisible part that exist but we are simply not aware of it. Anything can exist in many levels simultaneously, experiencing different things. Like Nameless said, your consciousness can also extend and reach other parts of the world, universe, multiverse, etc. While our biological vehicles are functioning, parts of our spirits are integrated into them the way that it is impossible to leave an empty shell for example when you experience the NP. Although it may feel like you are separating during SP, this is a result of how our minds interpret such a refocus because this is how we have been thought to perceive our reality. We can't comprehend how our spirits can exist simultaneously in many realities and perceive each experiences independently. The multiverse is very complex, but I think if we understand this basic concept, it will be easier to explain our experiences.   

I hope you get to experience music in the astral, Nameless. It's amazing.
I actually got obsessed with music in the past month and I just got myself a digital keyboard grand piano, where I can even record my own music. I got lessons on DVD and I am determined to learn to play. Then I'll see if I can channel music from the astral and compose it. I am so excited!!!

Wow, great experience, EV! I hope you get them more frequently. There is nothing like the thrill of knowing that you are in the NP fully aware. Your description of questioning "what if it's real" in regards of jumping off the cliff, matches many of my experiences, when I realize that I am in the NP and I am about to jump out of a window to fly,I have the same thoughts and a little fear that if I am in the physical and I am wrong to think I am in the NP, I will hit the ground below and die. But every time I jump anyway and fly away. And very often I end up in castles like you did.

I heard music again during SP. It was such a beautiful piano tune and I thought that if I was a musician, I would have been able to compose it in the physical world. I think it happened because right before bed I was watching Yanni live in the Acropolis DVD and I was amazed how musicians can think and compose such a beautiful music. One of my favorite songs of his is "Nostalgia"

Yes, I laughed when I saw that. Not possible. Perhaps cast them away, but not kill.
