I cannot really say one way or another as I would have to have lived during that time period to really be able to compare, otherwise I am going merely on what others have said which would make it their opinion and not mine.

20. If you had one wish, what would it be?
That we could do away with money and our materialism and instead have the driving force of society be to better ourselves, mankind, nature, and the world as a whole.

The first time I got out I was just look at everything. I was in a field surrounded by a forest. The thing is I was not trying to project at all, I did not even know what it was at the time. So I was standing in this field admiring the scene then thought about where I was just a second ago and poof I was back in my body. So my first experience was kind of different in that I did not know what was going on, but I did enjoy it.

As for people seeking proof of AP being real. What exactly would you like for proof? Such statements sound misled to me, though totally understandable, because they are wanting physical proof. This to me sounds like the person is under the assumption that the phsycial is the only reality. The reality is that there are other planes, if that is what we shall call them. They do not have to reflect the physical exactly or at all. If you want to interact with the physical then what is the point in projecting as you are already in your body for interacting with the physical plane. I am like Jeff, when I project that is proof enough for me as it is very real, more real than the physical most of the time. I want no proof for anyone else because I realize that there is no proof that I can give them to make them believe or understand. And I really do not wish for anyone to just take my word for it. The only proof I wish to give anyone else is the experience for themself, which is really beyond words.

That is an interesting question. But I do not think that good or bad really come into the picture or are that important. What I really think is the base of it is you reap what you sow. A really good example of this is with what has happened with Corporations recently. The top dogs were doing some illegal or just dishonest things. Well it all came back to get them. I do not exactly see this, or any Karma, as some great being sitting somewhere dishing out judgements but rather as natural law. For every action there is a reaction. You are walking down the street and give a stranger a friendly smile. It brightens their day and they pass someone else  giving them a friendly smile in turn brightening that person's day. That person passes you on the street giving you a friendly smile. A simple example, but I think it shows how your actions can come back to you. Likewise by doing something dishonest or negative can come back to you as well. So who decides what is good or bad. I would say it is you. It would all depend on how you see something and take it in as being good or bad. What is good for one person may be seen as being bad to another. The actions can continue in the cycle, but they all may be seen as having different values.

After having read all the discussions on such entities being of us or something separate, I have come to the conclusion that it really does not matter. Believe whichever you want to believe but it really does not matter too much. It is there for some reason. I think the reason it happened to fredhedd is because of what he was thinking about and feeling. Maybe it was manifested from him or maybe his thoughts attracted something. It does not matter so much as along as he learns from it. He can either fear it or learn from it and learning seems much more constructive. From what I have gathered this happens because of a lack of control of thoughts, so if he can control his thoughts then he should have a lower chance, if any, of having this happen. Or if he wishes for it to happen then control should allow him to experience it at will.

The question I would ask is, if there are separate entities that do in fact take our energy, when why do they do it?

I think it depends. What school are you going to, high school or lower or something like college, tech, or trade school? Also how comfortable are you with your classes? Do you feel like you know them well or do you have difficulty with them? If you are in high school or you have not been having much difficulty with your classes I would say stay home. Rest really does help a lot with healing. If you stay home and rest for the rest of the week then by Monday you will probably feel alot better than if you try to go to school.

I think I should also add:
How do you feel? If you go to school will you be miserable and not be able to pay much attention? If you are not going to be able to do the work or pay much attention then there is little point in going, in my opinion.

You mean they do not have Mountain Dew in Austria?? It is a soft drink, soda, pop, or whatever they may call it there, a carbonated beverage.

Sorry Jeff we are drinking beer not shots, or can you have a shot of beer? Why would you want just a shot of beer?

I can see where it could be a bad thing if it started happening a lot when you did not want it and if you felt drained of energy. Did you feel drained after the experience? Does this happen a lot or when you do not want it? To me this actually seems like a positive experience as opposed to a bad or potentially bad one. You were having sexual urges, desires, feelings while you were projecting. It seems that this entity merely helped you out by giving you want you wanted. So I ask the question, is this a "bad" entity or a good/helpful one? Before torching something I suggest exploring the why, you might learn something. If you wish to "shield" yourself from this it would seem to me  that controlling your emotions and desires would greatly help since this seems to have occured because of what you were feeling.

If it makes you feel good go with it. I do not see what the problem is here.

I forget who said it but someone said "I feel sorry for anyone who does not drink because when they get up in the morning that is as good as they are going to feel all day." I think it might have been W.C. Fields but I am not sure.

Gee Wiz, you are full of questions. http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile.gif" border=0>    Are orgies wrong? Is having sex with more than one person wrong? Yes and no. If you do not feel such things are wrong then who is to say that they are wrong? I think the wrong comes about when it hurts someone else. Like if you are with a partner or are married and your partner wants a monogomous (spelling??) relationship. I think it would be wrong to engage in such acts, but truthly it would probably be even more wrong to be with someone who has such conflicting views and desires as yourself.

Is it wrong to use condoms and birth control? Is it wrong to bring a child into the world that you will not be able to take care of, don't want, will abuse, or bring into a bad situation? Condoms and birth control may not be natural but they do provide an solution to potential bad or difficult situation. One could say, "Just don't have sex if you do not want a child," but how realistic is this? We are all human, unless you are a very special animal or some other species that is reading this, and we all have desires, wants, and yes needs. Sex is pleasurable, people have sex for pleasure, bonding, and love (and sometimes other things but lets remain positive). But one function of sex is to reproduce. And lets face it, most of the time when people have sex they do not wish to reproduce. So what does one do?

We all seek pleasure, but in doing so we need to use our minds and think about how this pleasure will effect us as well as others.

I think the real problem here is right and wrong. Is everything assigned a right or wrong value? Is everything so black and white? I think we live in a world that is mostly grey and not black or white.

Thank you for your last post, Douglas. It is always interesting to hear how people in other nations and cultures view things. You are correct in that Americans take the Bible literally, atleast from my experiences. I actually find it kind of scary that people feel so strongly about such things.

I am sorry to report that I have not been doing the exercises to improve eyesight. I was not using energy to heal, atleast not as the basis, but exercises presented in the book I mentioned. I just did not have time to do the exercises. Ok really the exercises take very little time so I guess I just let myself slip. When I was doing them I did notice a slight improvement. My eyes are pretty bad so it was nothing like I could throw my glasses away. I still believe that if one sticks to it and does them that it will atleast help some.

It is kind of odd that you brought this subject back up. Like I said I had not been doing or thinking much about this for awhile until about a week ago. I have been wanting to start back with this and since things have sort of calmed down in my life I should be able to start back.

Tom, if you do not wish to purchase the book I might be able to write the basic exercises down and post them here, as they are not that complicated. Though I still suggest buying the book if you can as it should not be expensive (I think I paid $11 at a local bookstore) and it gives specific exercises for different eye conditions. They suggest the basic exercises for everyone but the half hour sessions would be different for me and you as I see fine up close but cannot see far away.

I will try to stick with it this time and report back my progress. I hope others that have been trying have had more success.

Where did you hear this? I have never heard such a thing. Well not from any reliable sources anyway.

I feel sorry for the person that wrote this. What a terrible world they have put themself into.

First let me comment on video games. If anyone has ever actually read the fine print in the booklets they would have noticed the warnings. They warn you that such things can happen if you play for an extented period of time. They even tell you it is a good idea to take a break every so often and do something besides stare at a screen. We were NOT designed to sit in front of a computer screen non stop all day long for days on end. So if you do you WILL get sick. It is just not healthy. I have experienced headaches and sick feelings when I have played video games for a long time. When I get up, go outside and do some physical activities for awhile I feel much better. These sick feelings are just natures way of saying, "You need to do something else." There is nothing demonic or unnature about these effects.

Movies are made to make you feel something. Gee wiz, this person seems to think that if something happens to change her feelings then it must be demonic. As for feeling sick after going to the theater, there are several possibilities. I wonder if this person has thought of having her eyes checked. Personally it sounds like this could be her problem. She sits in front of a computer screen all day looking at things close up. Then every once in awhile she actually tries to make her eyes focus on objects at a distance, which her eyes are not use to, which in turn will cause headaches and the eyes to water. Sitting in a dark room looking at bright flashing lights has also been known to cause headaches and even seizures.

Before running off writing such things it would be much better to do a little research to see what science has to say with actual facts.

Well I do have a weird feeling about this war against Iraq that the US is going to start. I really do not wish to go to war, but I know that we will because the Pres is so hell bent on doing it that I think he will stop at nothing. I am just wondering about all what can happen because of this. Will the US loose allies and destroy the new friends we have recently made? Will other nations help Iraq just because of the Presidents striking first? One thing is for sure, it will be the end for many innocent Iraqis and possibly a new beginning for others.

I had a spontaneous OBE when I was in high school. I did not know what it was at the time. A few years later I was talking to a friend and happened to mention the experience. She told me what had happened and from there I searched the net for information on how to cause it to happen. I have had some success which has been limited by the amount of time I have to give to it. But here I am!

All of the posts in this thread have been a bit difficult for me to follow, and I think I may be misunderstanding it. It seems to be saying that there is no need for books like PPSD because there is no need for protection and nothing to protect against. This is because negs are not really separate from us and therefore unable to cause real damage. By the same sort of reasoning, I think I can conclude that Qui-Gon Jinn, fallnangel77, and alpha are all parts of me and under my influence?

First let me say that I do not have all the answers, claim to have all the answers, nor think that my ideas are the only possibility.  My ideas come from what just feels right from experience and reasoning.
Qui-Gon Jinn, Fallnangel77, Alpha, and Tom are all part of each other, yes I think so. Under your influence, I am not exactly sure. How so do you mean? To me everyone on some level or plane is one. On this plane however we are more individualized. Our thoughts are typically our own. On the astral thoughts can be shared. The higher up you more the more our minds, thoughts and self merge until we are all one. Right now we are all one at all times at a higher level.
Most negative things seen on the astral come from us. Like a fear you have, or a problem that you may or may not know about. Facing these things will help you deal with them. You can face them on this plane, such as working through your emotions and fears or you can deal with them on the astral in a more direct manner. Nothing can actually hurt you in the way you would think, like someone stabbing you or punching you. You can be hurt in a way of like getting lost in the negativity. If shielding helps people from getting lost in negativity then that is great for them. Maybe it is best for them to use such methods, who am I to say. But I do not see it as being totally necessary. What exactly is it that people are afraid of? This I do not understand. I hear people talking about shielding and protection, but what is it that can happen to them that they are afraid of?

Got to go so I have to cut this off here.

I truly hope the best for your family.

Might I suggest that you two go to an non-partial party for counseling. I can understand her beliefs, been there done that. I think we both know that discussing this with the pastor is pretty much just him and your wife ganging up on you about your new beliefs. I doubt that he will be open to your ideas, though I do not know him so maybe we are both wrong. Going to the pastor might actually be rather harmful, depending on if your ideas get out to your church members and how they view such things. You might find yourself excommunicated from them. Thought lets hope not!

Thinking about it I would strongly suggest going to a non-religiously affiliated marriage counselor. They would probably be best suited to handle such a situation. Good Luck, God Bless!

The same thing has happened to me. It seems when you edit your message you receive this email.

Is this like that Vulcon Death Pinch thing? Spock was pretty good that. I wonder if he ever tried it to have OBEs.

Picture it, it is 1025. A lone male monk stands along the Greek coast as the sun is slowly setting. He has his trusty gun by his side and his loyal pet bees swarming behind him await his commands. Who was this mysterious man? It was me, so now you know. Atleast according to the site.

I agree with you. But for some people I guess it is just very hard to overcome beliefs that have been instilled in them. I know I still have a hard time with some things that I was taught and brought up into. So maybe protection is best for them for now. But I believe that nothing can really hurt you, so there is really no point. It is better to face whatever it is you encounter, try to understand it, and deal with it. I think most things that people feel they need to sheild themself from is really just parts of their personality manifesting that they need to deal with. This is my opinion and I mean no disrespect to others or their ideas.

As for individual souls, from what you have stated there is no such thing. If all are one then there is no true individual. I tend to believe that we are all connected, but at certain levels we are individuals. As we move up in the planes we get closer to being one, until at the very top all is one.

I "woke up" or became lucid in this dream. I was aware but really did not have control. Something was going on before I "got there" but I do not know what. I just know I was in this underground building made of concrete blocks. I did not want to be there and I think someone, or people were looking for me, sort of like I was not suppose to be there or ... not exactly sure. I just know that I was trying to get out, but the emotion was not fear or anything negative, in fact it was pretty much emotionless other than the fact that I just wanted to leave in a nonpanic fashion. I look up and there is a hole in the wall close to the ceiling. I go up to it and climb through. This is where I meet the animals. As I am coming through the hole this rabbit and dog/wolf come up to me. I get the feeling they are wanting to come with me, or to help me, .... companionship .. it is difficult to describe really. So we continue through the hole and come out into a store. It was a grocery store actually. I am going through this store, animals following behind me. The thing is I am trying not to be seen and I am kind of running, but I am on all fours. It is not really like when you get down on all fours but more like it was natural, like I changed into an animal, but I do not think I actually did exactly. Anyway we are rushing through the store, get out of it unseen and run up to a car. I get in the car and look back to see if they are still with me. They are so I hold the door open for them, they get in and we leave. That is the end of the dream. It may mean nothing, but I would like to explore it a little just to see.
