Hey Shawn Shedt,

Every child is different and so is also every parent. You might want to be carefull as some children might be afraid of that and they would relate that to ghosts, harry potter, halloween stories, etc... You might want to introduce things one at a time. At this stage I am introducing my children only one thing: dreams. I encourage them to share their dreams if they want to and if they remember them (they are 5 and . And if they ask questions, I answer, but here again I pay attention to their reaction as I do not want to scare them. And for example the big one already asks questions such as "why are we alive?", "what happens when we die?", etc.. So, one approach is first to aks what the child thinks about it and then accordinlgy to answer a little more. And also try to remember when you were a child, at what age did you want to know, a what age where you ready to know, etc... So try to put yourself into the place of your child and try to see the world with your child's eyes. Some children might prefer playing lego rather than being told about OBE. I think it is better to wait for later, such as teens, to explicitly try to teach them about these things.

Once you will have your first child you will have other things to worry about, such as not enough sleep, doctor appointments, day care, schools, laundry, etc... so don't rush forward, take it easy. You will need a lot of patience and a lot of energy!

Good luck and all the best!

Ivan,

Theretical Physics is a branch of physics with many specializations. Some of these might have applications in the industry. In short it is the same as quantum physics academy (pure research) against industry (including also research but in very specific areas). And the salary will be about the same. If you love it, go for it. If you want academy, go for it. But again, after your PhD and (say) postdocs, you will have a hard time to get a permanent position in a University (unless you are very good and everyone wants you..). The time will come when you might get married and have children and the issue of a permanent position will be a problem that you migth want to consider only then, however it means that you need to specialize in a field that do have applications in the high tech industry.

Good luck !

Do not eat too many avocados... just maybe one very two days. Avocado are fat, but they have good fat (no cholesterol), the same with all the nuts. You need to add a little bit of salt to the avocado, it helps for the taste. Also if you do not eat the whole avocado and keep it in the fridge, it will turn brown. To avoid that, press some lemon juice on the avocado, it helps keep it fresh for longer.

Almonds, the best is to roast them slightly (in a small oven, or in a pan on low heat without oil) and then add some salt (for taste) and eat them as a snack. Otherwise it is true that the skin does not taste good, but the skin is actually full of good ingredients, so do not get rid of the skin. If you really want to get rid of the skin, then boil water, when the water is boiling poor in you almonds and let them boil for a few minutes, you will see that the skin starts to detach all by itself. Take the almonds out and you will have very easy to peel them. After that you might want to dry them and maybe roast them (you can roast the almond with their skin or without, but do not boil them after you roasted them!, the opposite if you boil them for the peel, then roast them after that). Once they have been roasted they are ready to eat. Also you can eat them fresh without raosting. You can add them to mushrooms, or other dishes.

Now, by the way, there are creams of avocado for the skin of the face! and this what I meant.... initially!!! Also some (girls usually) put slices of cucumber on their face (as a mask) to help the skin. But any how one way or another your skin will get the vitamins it needs, whether by direct aplication of the avocado on your face (!) or by eating the avocado.

I knew a guy who got dark circles under the eyes after he got married, the reason was that he was having too much sex and not enough rest. []

Rosemary needs a very sunny location, the south facing window should do. I have seen Rosemary growing also outside in freezing conditions and that does not affect the rosemary (if it is already a pretty big bush). What does affect is too much watering, rosemary like it slightly dry and as I wrote very very sunny. So, maybe there was not enough sun and maybe too much water (if the air is humid the water will not evaporate quickly and the roots will rot, then the tip of the leaves become brownish and then all the leaves turn brown and the plant dies - the same is true for the lavender, it needs a lot of sun but not too much water).

Go to a book store and look in the religious section, not the New Age one. The best example of spirituality that has something in common with what is hapening in OBE is the one where the Kaballist has a mistical experience. It gives the example of meeting the (say spriritual guide, holy person) Eliahu Hanavi (the announciator of the Messayah). THe first level is to meet him in dreams, the second level is to see him while awake and to greet him and the highest (third) level is to meet him while awake, to greet him and to be greeted back by him. This really looks like AP/OBE and meeting with beings of Light.

Good luck!

Allergy can be responsible for that. Do you have also a lot of sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, itchy eyes, itchy nose, itchy throat? There are creams for the eyes that you can get on the market. You can also use all kind of veggies (really!) such as avocado (make it into a cream) and cucumber (make it into slices) - not at the same time of course.

gnother possibility might be what you eat: too oilly, too heavy, too much meat, etc... too much alcohol to might be responsible. You might want to try to change your diet completely just to give it a try. For example cut on coffee and drink herb tea. Cut on dairy and meat and try soy protein. Cut on fried food and fatty food and try nuts, almonds, walnuts, etc... Cut on white bread and try whole bread, etc.. More veggies and fruits (fresh if possible).

And though you mention you probably get enough sleep, it is not enough to get 8h of sleep, you also need to sleep at normal hours, so that you are awake during daylight and asleep during darkness (to regulate your level of melatonine - a chemical that has to do with sleep regulation in your body).

Good luck!

Hello Bard!

Nice to hear of your herbal healing. I never tried that mixture, but sure you have there a very good ingredient that heals the skin: comon plantain! Plantain is good against insect bites and other inflamation of the skin. It is  also good to stop bleeding. It is the most common wheed in the garden. It was certainly used by Native Americans to treat wounds. Even today in the "US military manual for first aid" you find plaintain (both the American one and the British one - which is thinner) as good to stop bleeding and to put on wounds. Olive Oil is very good for the skin too and in small quantities on salads.

Basil is also very good against insect bites, it is a soothing herb for the skin, it is able to reduce acidity, whether on the skin on in the tomato sauce or in you stomach.

Of course you have all the herbs for tea that will help you to calm down and sleep better: chamomille, vervain, lemon vervain, lemon balm, passion flower, catnip, valerian,... Once I prepared a tea with what I have in pots at home and I put a lot of them (so much that I am still waiting for my plants to grow back): lemon vervain, lemon balm, catnip, chamomille (and some mint for the taste) and I drank a whole pot of it. Except for going to the bathroom every 2 hours in the night, I had a restfull sleep with many, many dreams. I think it was mainly the catnip that made that effect, since I tried before the same without catnip and did not have the same results.

To remember dreams it is said to make a sleep pillow of rosemary and mugwort (artemisia vulgaris). I tried the rosemary but I did not see any difference. Supposedly Rosemary and mugwort can increase your memory and make you remember your dreams every night. However, I always remember my dream already, so maybe that's why I did not see any difference.

As to the Artemis family, they are not to be taken in large amount. Artemisia can be poisonous (except for taragon). However Artemisia absynthium is used in North Africa to put in tea ("shiba") and it is also used in the South of France to make alcoholic beverage (Absynthe - anisette?). So I guess they could be drink as tea but not in large quantities. You might want to be cautious when you pick up herbs in your garden, not pick up poisonous plants!

Cheers.

Hi there,

I think there are a few things acting together here.

First of all a meal with meat is usually heavier than a meal for vegetarians, unless of course the vegetarians eat french fries with beer,... but the main thing is that of how light or heavy is you meal depends on that. So if you eat meat, it will be heavy, more difficult to digest. A vegetarian diet must be equilibrated and you must have some proteins to replace the meat. Usually vegetarians people do take care of eating much healthier, so they feel much better and they will have a better sleep and (I understand) a better AP (?).

Another thing is that the blood and meat of the animal contain also the hormones of the animal, and as the animal is fed with cheap food and all kind of unhealthy things these will end up in your plate. ONce the animal is about to be killed, for sure its fear is high and for sure some of the hormons it produces at that moment are not what you want to feed on.

Also, if you look in the old testament, the prophets such as Daniel, who had visions in dreams (AP?) and had lucid dreams, they stated very clearly in some cases: "I did not eat meat, did not drink wine for a month," and that is when they had visions.

So there might be more than being vegerian, also not drinking alcohol, all this might help the body and mind to feel better and to better AP.

I have been a vegeratian for almost 30 years now (with a few little interuptions, due to "family pressure") however I have AP only a few times! But I am more at dreams and premonitions than at OBE. I do not eat animals because I do not think we have the right to kill them to satisfy our culinary wishes. Animals are very much like us, in that they can feel pain like us and the only difference with them is that we use an advanced form of communication: the language (though Koko the Gorilla can speak too!).

If there are negative entities and bad spirits (such as the djnuns, genoms) that bother you, it is common in the jewish religion (as well as with the wiccan by the way) to light a candle and make a prayer (to God) and ask for these bad entities to go away and leave you alone. You should then let the candle burn down all by itself and not use it for any other purpose (do not use it to light a cigarette while it burns for example). To make a prayer is just to "speak to" and "ask" God what you want from your heart (not just to recite something). If you know a prayer fine, if not it just has to come from your heart whatever you chose to say.

Kabalah is part of a long oral/written tradition, which is part of the jewish religion. However, not every jewish person and neither every religious jewish person knows about it. It is usually accessed and learned by the more "advanced" (in their religious studies) person. In fact there are 4 levels to look into the Bible. The first one is litteraly, just as a story. The other one above that is to ask question as to the logic and content of the story, such as "why at the beginning when God created the sky and earth, was the earth tohu-bohu (chaos), does that mean that God could not create something perfect?"; the third level goes into a even deeper investigation of what is written; and the last level is the level of the Kabalah, where the best example is the Gemarah. The Gemarah is a part of Kabalah and it has to do with numbers, where each hebrew letter has a numeral value, so that each word takes a value too. Then these values can be realted to years (or days) to find out when is the Messianic time arriving. A concrete example would be that of the hebrew callendar where the year is counted since the creation. We are no in the 5700s, the era when God will reign on our world is from the year 6,000 to 7,000, in the same way that the seventh day (Sabath) is holy, the seventh millinium is holy too. However the Sabath is starting on the eve of the 7th day "erev" in hebrew, which numerical value is ('ain resh beth = 70 + 200 + 2) 272, so that the eve of the messianic time (holy millenium) is 6000-272=5728, which corresponds to the year 1967, and interestingly enough corresponds to the year when Israel took east Jerusalem where the Holy Temple used to be. So there are many analogy that can deduced from Gemarah and Kaballah. Now the fact is that people are often looking at other religions and claiming that they are so different and it is not accurate. Reincarnation is recognized in the jewish religion (called gilgul nefashot) as in Budhism. Astral Projection is also recognized but it is actually forbiden to practice, because while we are alife the soul must remain in the body (or at least consciously). If you look into the book of the prophets in the old testement you will notice that many of the "visions" of the prophets are extremely similar to either "lucid dreaming" or to "astral projection", though in a state of sleep, but aware of the presence of a highly divine being (and lucid). The many traditions and religious ceremonies and pratices are actually only interpretation of the holy texts and sometimes it is possible to interprete these differently. So you could "adopt" the jewish religion to practice Kaballah and have your very own interpretation. You can always try to study Kaballah on your own with books, but you will need to know so many things related to the Jewish religion and you will need to know how to read and write hebrew.

There are many good books around in English to help.

It is difficult to say what religion is right for you. You would have to try all of them and that's difficult. Sure Kabalah has a lot of spirituality.

Good luck.

There are other source that spaek about the war of the wars, the war of the apocalypse, the war of Gog and Magog, the war at the end of time (in the Old Testement). This war is a war between the Orient and the Occident and it has already started: Ben Laden, Saddam against the US... but it will roll into a huge snow ball for many years and it will evolve into a global (world) conflict. It is also said that that war had actually 3 steps, where WWI and WWII were the first 2 steps of it and now the big and last one is coming up. that is very different from the alien stroy, which I personnaly do not believe in at all.

By the way Sirius in not in the "belt" of Orion. Syrius is a star in the constellation of the big dog (canis majoris). And there is no scientific proof of the existence of the planet X Nibiru. It is very dangerous to follow this attitude and believe in that kind of things, the last people I knew who did such a thing where these people who belonged to that sect who believed that the Comet Hale-Bop was an alien spaceship, they then all commited suicide to be able to get a "ride" to Hale-Bop. So I would ask you to be realistic and not lose your common sens. I will believe in aliens the day I will see one personnaly. I have been looking at the night sky for decades and I never saw any UFO, I could always explain what I was seeing and I never saw anything that I could not explain.

Anyway I wanted to say that this Nibiru planet and the story with government would make a very good book to sell in Barnes and Noble or a very good new movie for Steven Spielberg. It is quite an amazing story, however I have not seen any real tangible proof of that.

Hi Birm,

when I stay aware while drifting into sleep (the hypnagonic state) then I see pictures like in dreams and I hear voices, sound, music. However, I had no proof till now that what I hear/see then is from the akashic record, since none of these showed me the future. And if I see the past, then I relate it  to my memory and imagination. Only images of the  future are real proofs for me.

back to the premonitory dreams, in my last one I saw a building collapsing, then as I flew away from the place a voice told me that I am now about to see the future, then I saw another building collapsing and then wherever I went in the dreams all the streets were made of collapsed building. It looked as an earthquake had struck the place. I wrongly interpreted that as a possible attack in a place such as washington dc (and posted a message about in on the prophety forum of the astral pusle). It is after a few days that I realized that the earthquake I saw was indeed a vision of the future, a vision of the earthquakes that recently hit (Paso Robles and Iran).

So, here, there was a voice telling me that I was about to see the future in my dream. Is that also part of the Akashic Record, or is it more like the voice of my spritirual guide showing me infos from the Akashic Record?

-1) In one of my hypnagonic states while drifting into sleep a voice was saying to me "you will die or get very sick in April".

-2) In a dream more than a year ago, I was informed that a person very close to me (family) will leave this world in April. It did not happen in April 2003, I hope it won't happen in April 2004.

-3) by that time if there is no agreement in the middle east, Sharon will take unilateral steps for "separation" from the palestinians. This might lead to big troubles.

All depends with what you compare of course. Say if after finishing your phd in physics you work (as a postdoc) in a government lab or something similar, you will start around 35-40k a year before tax. And that's a good start. If on the other hand you with the same qualification you go to a high tech industry (that's where the money is) you can easily get much more. After a few years you will earn at least twice as in a gov lab. And if it is money that interest you then you can go into computer science. With a simple degree in computers you can earn even more..! If you are interested in the physics itself, then you can go into the academy, you will not starve, but you might have very difficult to go up to a permanent position in a university.

Native American languages are completely different. It is believed that Native Americans arrived here tens thousands of years ago, and even that is not know accurately. So my answer would be that I just don't know. Native Americans supposedly arrived from Asia through nowdays Siberia, my guess would be that it is related to some asiatic language, but you better check with a linguist.

It seems that the second part of the dream with more devastation was also an earthquake rather than something else. An earthquake just hit Iran in a historic city with 10,000 victims!

As a physicist I can tell you that there are two ways to get there.

The first way is to be in the academic, which means that you need to go for a doctorate and after many years of postdoctoral research and strugle you might eventually maybe (if you are a "big shot") get a position in a University to carry out pure academic scientific research in the field of quantum physics.

The other way is to look into the many applications of quantum physics, such as the semi-conductor industry (electronics, micro electronics), .... there are many of them... and then to check out what these industries are looking for, what kind of quantum physicist. Then you need to specialized (master, doctorate) in that speciality that interests the industries.

If you chose the academy, it is a very hard way, where only if you are very good at you will probably succeed, and the salary is not extremely good for someone with so many college/university years.

The industry is paying more, much more depending on who (government do not pay too mucy, private business do).

In the industry, starting with a PhD you can easily earn twice what a starting PhD gets in the academy as a postdoctoral fellow.

To know exactly if there is a good demand, depends on the exact specialization of the person. I would suggest to specialized on Solid State Physics or Super Conductors, etc... You might want to visit a university and talk with some people there just to have an idea and also to talk with people from the industry.

My experience with events of the future (akashic records) is very different: I access the informations in my sleep and it appears to me as dreams. There are personal dreams and more public dreams, where I see events in the world, mainly in the middle east. You can check some of these I have (and am) posting them on the forum of prophecies of the astral pusle. The latest one was a vision of collapsing buildings which I understand was a vision of the earthquake in Paso Robles (California) that just happened.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

YEs, it sounds like migraines, it might run in the family... From some relatives I have seen that regular exercise (in this case bicycle) and a good diet (no heavy meal) and good sleep really helps a lot. There are also medications for that. Did she suffer from vertigos when she was a very young child? Or did she have once a viral meningitis (in early childhood, infant?)?

Anyhow, seeing more than one Doc would do and trying to keep in physical shape with good eating, exercising and sleeping habits would help.

You must know that strong light can in these cases hurt and give more headache. There are many conditions in which strong light might hurt and give headach, such as "vagotony", which is psychosomatic condition. That's not what she has of course, but I once had it for a few months, very long ago. ANyhow, take care of her! and good luck, happy holidays and happy new year!

Just a little detail, turkish is not an arab language... Most of the European languages are either slavic (Russian, Polish,..), Germanic (Deutch, German, English,..) or Latinic (French, Spanish, Italian, ROmanian,..) and are all originating from the Indo-European (reconstructed if I might say). However, there are a few places where the people arrive from Asia with a very different language, and I think mainly of these who settled in Turkey, Bulgaria and Finland. These three languages are related and have nothing in common with the European (and Indo-European) languages. As to the arab language it is a semitic language belonging to the same family with Aramean, Hebrew, etc... and these are not related at all to Turkish.

It looks as if the first part of my dream with the collapse of the bricks and wood building is more like a vision of the earthquake that just hit California several hours after I posted the dream.

Now, the rest of the dream (with the more modern building) might also be related to earthquake rather than to an attack. The vision is clear it is devastation, but the source of it is not.

I am attaching a picture of the collapse of a structure in that small locality in California where the earthquake struck. It is indeed very similar in appearance to that first vision in the dream.

Hi Rachael,

I hear noises and see things when I am between the asleep and awake states, the hypnagogic state. In that state, which is like a deep transe, I am mind awake, aware, and I start to see pictures and hear sounds. The sounds vary quite a lot from voices to music. I also hear banging or other strange noises when I relax, concentrate for a transe, then there when I start to transit to that state I hear these loud noises. Sometimes these noises are just my own breathing noises (I do not snore, but I can breath kind of loudly) that are amplified, sometimes they sound like noise from outside that are amplify, sometimes I just cannot know where are these loud noises coming from. I understand that it is completely normal and it is part of the hypnagogic state, the same is true for seeing picture. But it  sounds that you went a step further, a step into the astral.

Thanks for sharing.

It took 4 months for that dream to appear to be a premonition..., so well that I almost forgot about it (Aug.09).
