His website is very in your face, 'as seen on - fox news, CBS, CNN NBC' Well what does that mean... I think straight away you have to ask why is this person being presented to the public by the mainstream media... Mainstream media tend towards the presentation of egotistical and materialistic music, films, information etc and have been known on occasion to warp things to appear to be something they're not, for what ever reason... So why is this guy, who is stepping up with a positive, spiritual message, take control of your life, astral projection, find your soul mate, etc etc being presented to the public by mainstream media?

I know from my perspective, I listen to some British artists, who are intelligent, spiritually, socially and politically aware, who try to send out something closer to the truth than you will get from most mainstream music, touching on real life concerns that make you think, not what cars they own, how hard, good looking or rich they are, but these people you will not really see in the mainstream media, you won't hear their songs about consumerism on the radio, or videos about social and political concerns on the t.v, they skim a bit too close to truth for that.

It may just be me, as this is simply my view, but to me this gives me an idea of what main stream media wants to present to the public and what it does not, this leads me to the need to question further his authenticity as some one on a path away from materialism and ego, someone with real understanding and knowledge - I mean a hypnoses track to increase the size of your penis... is that not the appitimy of egotism... would it not be of more help to make a hypnoses track to wake you up and know that the size of your penis is irrelevant and will not in any way shape or form bring any real happiness. (is it just me who wants to crack an immature sex joke here... ) 

I'm a bit biased though, I have issue with anything in mainstream media, it instantly puts me on guard, if I have interest in it I have to do more digging, cause I simply don't trust information to be full, correct and in context when it's pushed in mainstream. Not to say I just accept info from other places at face value, mainstream just puts me in auto research mode straight away, if I'm interested. Between what I read, this penis enlargement hypnoses and the video I watched on his site, I'm inclined to believe he's all about the money; he may well be a top notch hypnotherapist, and may well of had AP experiences, but I wouldn't hold him up as someone with any real insight of his own outside of marketing and manipulation. Though that's not to say he doesn't have good information, I just doubt it is his own from what I saw.

But then it's just my opinions, my opinions are probably of about as much value as his penis enlargement tape.

It is sort of funny comparing how I would actually recieve that situation to how it went down in the dream... since in the dream I had no question he was real, and in reality I would have no question he was an impersonator, lol.

This is what I love about dreams, it's like being released from the restraints of our ideas of the world and ideas of how things are allowing for an entirely new view uncontaminated by our worldly views.

Do you have any thoughts on why you delved into his personal childhood experiences, rather than something more political, or something?

"Well ya know, sonny..."

I love how enigmatic his answers are

Much appreciation for the thread and suggestions, cheers!

Benny Hinn in the US

Sally Morgan, Colin Fry, Derek Acorah in the UK

Actually I quite like Derek Acorah, he's a"medium" here in the UK. Has been caught cheating, but he's an absolute hoot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8H_v8cM9CQ

Colin Fry was caught cheating during a seance. They turned the lights on unexpectedly and he was standing on his chair waving a spirit trumpet.

Sally Morgan was "allegedly" caught using an earpiece and repeating information passed to her by assistants. She's suing for defamation, but was caught more recently. repeating a completely fabricated story which investigators had primed her team with.

Derek Acorah similarly repeated a fabricated story which the TV crew had been primed with.

It's depressing. But I still think Derek is hilarious, check out the link above, watch the whole thing, the TV crew crack up in tears of laughter at the end.

haha Derek is pure entertainment to watch, bit OTT and I've never been able to quite believe him because of his very umm flamboyant style lol but still very entertaining. Did not know he had been caught cheating though. Colin fry... I remember hearing about that and laughing quite hard at the scenario, must of been THE most awkward moment ever!

I was thinking, I said before I don't don't buy any books on the subject or anything and I'm likely missing out, I'm not really into the binary beat stuff or guided meditation mp3's, but what would you guys say would be a couple of "must read" books...

Edit - I gotta stop doing this, just looked around the forum for suggestions on good books, and instantly find a recent post! I will learn to search before asking one day

25k for a 2 hour session!!!  No doubt that's a lot! But then I guess you have to ask how is he spending the money, how does he live, I think that would give a more critical understanding of his character... I don't think making large amounts of money off what he knows is a bad thing, and if people have more money than they know what to do with, I see nothing wrong with them paying large amounts and then him using that money in a positive way that could help others or open up opportunities for others to help themselves... but on the other hand, if he lives in a house with 10 rooms, only using one, has 8 high end sport cars and 3 yachts, and is versed in tax avoidance, I think it would be fair to say he's a con man. lol

(On a side note that has reminded me of something I saw today; the guy who presents rougue traders, investigating con men and catching con men, was sent to jail for benefit fraud...)

But I don't think even then that takes away from information he gives, even if he is only repeating information from research done by others.
I don't buy stuff anyway, I learn everything from myself and people like you guys who are living it and don't have monetary incentives to deceive and then come to my own conclusions, although you might all be stark raving mad!   

It's like the song the band Cinderella wrote, "Dont's know what you got, till it's gone!" These words are so true and pertain to everything in life, including life itself! 

Yeahhhh, truth right there. I know for me that was a lesson learned the hard way! But a lesson learned none the less!

I knew a lad who managed depression for a while, but he rarely even see's a flicker of it nowadays. For him, it came down to allowing his perceptions to be more free flowing and being less rigid in thought about things, which led to his emotions no longer running rampant and in-slaving him in unbalanced states, like prolonged depressions. Not to say he doesn't get down or sad, which he doesn't see as a negative thing any more, he just doesn't let it run wild, he just sees his emotions as another tool to experience, and as any other tools he doesn't let them run the show, and he found an effective way for himself, to be reasonably content.

And if in doubt, he says, ask "who is this 'I' that is feelings depressed?" 

I've died countless times, in many different ways, even killed myself once... try not to analyze that one too much  But for me they have seem to come up most frequently when things are changing in my life that I am aware of - so I second Szaxx, from my own experience, on his comment -

If its a common dream it means a change or rebirth of something connected to you and what was prominent in the dream.

If a one off though it does sound a bit like an anxiety dream about a future event, in a situation you perceive to be chaotic and out of your control that you can not escape, the boat in a windy raining setting, that you perceive as not going to end well at all for you, the boat is sinking and you KNOW you are going to die. Again with the dying of cancer, both scenarios involve future possibilities with the sense of knowing the result is going to be bad - do you reach the conclusion of death in either scenes, I wasn't sure from post? Asking questions and being ridiculed, and as its in your dream it is actually you doing the ridiculing, obvious thing to say would be anxious about asking for help, though not here, but from others that mean something to you in your psychical life and a worry about how they will judge you...

Personal symbolism, in your heart what does death mean to you, what does cancer mean, boats wind and rain that scenario. I don't believe anything in a dream is just random, So I really think it is possible to understand your dreams on a deep level if you can hunt down how the symbols relate to you.

But then this is my perception of it, as if it were my own, so holds little weight  but I wouldn't worry about them, like I said you get used to dying, I'd take a blunder guess and say we've all already died a good few times in 'reality' but just forgot that it isn't that bad!   

Yeah that's a big point also, recognizing when it's time for change... I got to a point where I stopped going out to party every weekend, but I had recognized I needed to do that maybe a year previously, though I think I was so attached to that lifestyle and the people, I ignored the changes I felt needed to be made, despite the many negative consequences that came with it.

This has reminded me of something, I can't for the life of me remember where I heard it, but this guy was basically talking about alcohol and drugs, and saying we're all looking for 'enlightenment' in our own ways whether we know it or not, even the heroin addict sat in an alley way with the needle still in his arm, is on a spiritual mission for enlightenment.  I liked his perspective lol

I think like anything too much can be a bad thing, you have to have balance, but I think that balance is different for everyone, just depends on how your body and mind react to alcohol, during and after. Personally I love going out with my mates to party and have a drink, but I tend to drink quite a lot when I do, and am not very good at limiting my consumption, so I don't drink regularly, I guess that is best kind of balance I have been able to find so far when it comes to alcohol. But yeah like I said, my opinion it's a very personal thing, down to each individual.

To be concise... it's opened my mind and heart to becoming a more Loving and caring individual.

Yeah that hits the nail on the head for me, not to say I'm ultra loving and caring or anymore so than anyone else, but I think before I started thinking in the ways I did that led me down this path, I was doing lots of things that were very destructive to me and people around me, not that I was a horrible person, just misguided and quite ignorant and unaware. I've come along way from there though, and have grown a lot and the hardest part is that the people around me did not, and I just don't 'fit' there anymore. whenever I go back it always seems to have negative consequences, and I always end up in a bad place emotionally... Maybe something telling me my life is heading in a different direction now, and it's time I stop hanging onto that chapter of my life. I'm reading your phasing PDF at the moment BTW, VERY helpful made me realise my extremely active imagination could be put to better use with run downs, I think it was... and easy to read as well! cheers! and while reading your phasing guide, the idea to write a book popped into my head, also when I thought why not put my run away imagination to better use! So I'm creating it my mind playing it out and will put pen to paper and see what I can come up with!!

I have come to a greater understanding the reasons behind every human action and not judge, but try to help, and guide those who are lost  or helpless. Also the concept of good and evil is so distorted, that it paints such a wrong perspective and by extend actions of how to deal with challenges and hardship.
I have also gained certain abilities and mental strength that I can almost "see" and "feel" all types of energies flowing around me in waking life. I have a strong influence in others lives and sometimes I experience almost instantaneous manifestations of some of my desires.
And that's not all.....

That's something I aim for, to try to understand rather than judge, which I have to be honest I've found difficult to do sometimes, but I try to think of it in this way, people do the best they can with what they've got, and hey, we all have to start somewhere! I don't think I'm at a stage in my life were could help anyone with anything I still feel pretty lost lol but it is nice to hear that there are people out there who are, and do!

I think we have trouble in the world understanding things, because our existence and the things we do and things that happen are out of context to us as a whole and then we give it all meaning, but anything out of context can easily be misinterpreted. I find the world a very confusing place to be in, and the more I think about it, the more confused I get Lol

Wow, I've never really had anything like that before, I did see the 10 minutes into future once though, how ever crazy that sounds... I was waiting for a taxi and the image of a driver pulling a shiny knife out on me popped into my head, and wouldn't leave! and I ignored it, given my active imagination, and finally the taxi arrived, we started chatting as I just love to talk, and he started telling me about all the things people leave in the taxi, and low and behold out from the door compartment he pulls a cut throat razor some guy had left on the back seat the night before!! Less of the stabbing me idea I had 10 minutes previous in my mind, and more of a show and tell situation thankfully!!

Thanks for sharing guys, and thanks for the phasing guide Xanth, I think it will be a big help!

What effect has it all had on the way you live, compared to before all of this was a part of your lives?

I have read in places, the further down this path of growing 'spiritually' the more aware you become in your waking life, and the vial between this 'reality' and others becomes thinner; e.g seeing other entities and what not. I don't know how true this is, but is this a naturally progression of 'spiritual' evolution... If you have experienced this how has it changed your life? the way you live?

I'm genuinely very interested to hear your stories if you don't mind sharing them...   

peace x

Hi, try searching 'reality check' it came up with quite a few posts relating to the idea you talk about, not sure if the exact post is in there though... good luck

Nice share - I'll have to see this... I watched the Jacket last night also with Adrian Brody in the lead role, one of my fav actors! he even made the latest predator film watchable! haha 

IMO, yes there would still be sickness and unemployment. I don't think legality plays a part in it, other than in assisted suicide. It's my belief that for the most part suicide is something that happens to someone, rather than a choice; through an in-balance in the scales between levels of pain, psychical or emotional, and their resources to cope with the pain, within themselves as well as their support network or lack there of. - maybe this is just a way to take away responsibility from the suicide victim for their actions?

Now if it were 'morally' acceptable; regarding morals in society, I don't think it would play much of a role in the process, or rather hinder the suicide attempt due to being 'morally' unacceptable, so being morally acceptable would not effect number of suicide.

However, moral beliefs within religion - I can imagine there are people who are alive because of their believes, who's pain, outweigh there resources to cope with the pain, but their beliefs tilt the scales, the perceived consequences of taking ones life. So if it were acceptable within religion, I think people in that situation would lose that extra resource that makes suicide not an option, that gives them balance between pain and coping resources.

Though the instinct to survive is pretty damn strong.

Again all just my opinion and always open to having it changed, welcome it even. 

haha I tried to upload an avatar the other day but it wouldn't work for some reason I'm so having that as my avatar though, if I can get it to work, cheers stillwater! 

Maybe there's an infinite amount of realities where that fly misses that spiders web by various amounts of distances, with you thinking "dumb spider, should of made a bigger web  " does that make the fly getting caught, inevitable, it had to happen? or rather it had to happen in every possible way shape and form, and you just happen to be aware in the reality where it got caught. Would that make every interaction inevitable... . Maybe there is a reality where I actually say something that makes sense...  that would be a nice change of pace LMAO

Thank you for the advice guys, I will try it out! and yes Szaxx, I spent some time reading the FAQ posts as to try not to ask anymore questions that had already been answered in the future! Ah nice one lionheart, I shall watch now! I love lucid dreaming, I've been reading about all this stuff for quite some time, but am really diving into it now and trying to get lots of intentional first hand experience, so share anything of interest you come across!! 

Hi,
If you know your aware then why not use this for an exit and really enjoy yourself?
Maybe thats the hidden argument.

How do I exit from a dream?? I'm new to actively trying to project... though I have had some success in the past, I think.. most recently I tried a couple of nights ago, and went through the body asleep mind awake, then the vibrations, I don't remember 'exiting' but I was moving around which felt like trying to walk against a 1000 mile an hour wind and was very disorientated and my vision was extremely distorted and I think it was very noisy also and I ended up at the top of the stairs but 2 people were standing there who quickly turned and walked away and I awkwardly tried to walk over and tried to talk but it was like my tongue wouldnt work and mouth wouldn’t move... not sure if that was a projection or a dream or what... :s 

& yeah that's basically why I wake up laughing at myself, wondering why I would choose to argue with figments of my imagination (or what ever dreams are made of) rather than say, enjoy being aware in my dream and having some fun!

Edit: No worries, I looked at FAQ and found the answer to my question.

So a few dreams recently that I have had I have found a bit comical and felt like sharing, the dreams are not very interesting in themselves but anyway, the first I was with a couple of people I don't think I knew, in some place that was a combination of 3 places I actually know that I guess have or had a somewhat emotional attachment to, the street I lived on as a kid, the street I spent most my time with childhood friends on, and a restaurant I really liked to go to with an Ex - and basically I became completely aware and lucid, and then began to question my dream companions, starting with "You know this is a dream right?" he replies "shut up, of course it's not" I say "Okay do you know me?" he says "YES!!" I say "Whats my name then?" which was replied with a silent confused face.  Lol

Another was at my childhood house again, I was having a very heated argument with my best friend, an argument that had actually happened and is the reason we haven't kept in touch over the past 8 years - So I'm not lucid this time, and we are arguing and I stop him in the middle of a screaming fit, and say "Is this the first time we have had this argument?" "is this real?" and he just stares at e confused lol and I've had probably 3 or 4 more recently like this were I'm semi aware & stop the action to tell my co-stars it's a dream, they never believe me though. 

I find this quite funny when I wake up, out of the infinite possibilities of things I could be doing when I become aware in my dreams, I choose to try to convince dream characters that they are just that! I used to find much more fun ways to spend my lucidity! Anyway, just something quirky I thought I'd share lol 

hi everyone, thanks grey I will do, will be reading lots and lots! 

Hi NoY!!! I have to say, not 5 minutes after making this post, I'm checking facebook & see someone has accepted a friend request I made I click on them to see who it is & I have not a clue who it is or that I even added them! So then one of the people on their friend list caught my eye, I clicked on their profile (cause I'M NOSY!) having a little flick through their pictures, & right in front of my eyes pops up a picture of the very same man I have just been talking about that scares the hell out of me!! Gave me a bloody heart attack!! LOL

[with a massive smile on my face!]

Hi! I'm quite excited to give this a go!! A little about me; I don't tend to believe what I read or hear, I like to experience things for myself and then make my mind up, though I am sure there is something to this, based on people I have spoken to & trust & my own odd experiences. I also study psychology, though even with that I don't take it all in as fact... which probably makes me a bad student... LOL I'm very open minded and tend to interpret things in my way rather then how they are presented to me.

I have posted before, but noticed the introduction section & figured I would introduce myself. So I've known a little about this topic for a few years from some reading of sites like this, but never had the intention to go down this path till now. I had an experience a year or so ago, which is what I posted about originally & thanks to a couple of very helpful members I now know what I had experienced was the state focus 21 aka the 3D blackness, which was the entirety of my experience, due to my lack of intent. (lack of intent is the story of my life) So I held on to that for a year or so pondering on it once in a while, then a couple days ago thought to myself there are plenty of people out there who could help me get an understanding of this, and now it is really something I want to explore and am very excited about doing so! 

So I have done a bit of reading from this site, about basic stuff and I have seen that fear is a bit of a factor in the beginning, as from what I have read my fears will probably manifest themselves in some way at some point and scare the hell out of me! & I'm pretty sure I know exactly what form these fears will take. A man, that even now as a 22 year old guy, still freezes me in my tracks, like a deer in head lights when I see his face in pictures... Though I have no reason to fear him, he's actually a fictional character as it goes... The irony of being a student of psychology & this terribly irrational fear is not lost on me! 

Anyway, I'm really glad I have ended up here, & I'm sure I will be talking to a lot of very wonderful people in my time here, I look forward to it! So this is my 1st post for the beginning of my journey... And my first step is facing this 'fear' in a location I feel completely comfortable in with the lights on & a sofa I can hide behind! with a massive smile on my face! 

*Correction; *Dotster - *Interested. I really need to pay attention when I'm writing!!

Thanks for the replies dobster & lionheart! Yes that sounds like what it was, I'm glad to be able to reach some kind of understanding of the experience. I will defo make a point of reading that, thanks dobster, I'm very interesting in continuing with this, I will post again when I have a AP experience, soon hopefully! Thanks for the replies! 

hmmm... yep I'm defo a newbie!! lol I have no direct knowledge about this stuff, just what I have read & the one experience. but It's something I'm interested In and will pursue further, thanks for your comments shivers
