Tides, I'm sorry you had to go through that. You have touched on many complex topics. Fortunately, what you describe as the risks of setting boundaries is not the case with me, nor my goal for an end result. Let me explain. I have seen much in life, as many of you have, to the point where I could write a book on it.

No one is ever "eliminated" from my life unless we are at the end of the rope where nothing is redeemable. I am one to make sizable efforts to salvage a relationship of all types, but there becomes a point where a soul tie needs to be broken for self preservation, which is often for the good of the other party as well. This is something Dolores Cannon very much condones.

There is a scene in the movie The Abyss where a submarine at the beginning of the movie takes on so much damage that it's sinking is inevitable. The Captain says "launch the buoy". This is so the sub and bodies can be found because all is lost. I have used this analogy for relationships, friends, business, relatives, employees etc... ever since where it's the end... plane and simple. To stay in it would promote a state of torment, damage, achieve nothing and severely lower one's vibration and overall health.

So I make this decision not selfishly, but quite the opposite. To break the rut of the "unlearned lesson" and move on so the lesson can be fulfilled. If we stay in the toxic environment indefinitely, are we learning anything? If we stay in it, then perhaps the lesson will repeat and repeat until we get it right sort of like The movie Groundhog Day. Sometimes the toxic people can unfortunately be immediate family, or an employee or a friend or relative etc...  Some just thrive on harming others in irrational, illogical, immoral and unjust ways. They often appear like NPCs, or on rails to cause problems, rewriting history to serve negative purposes and agendas. Nope, I don't want any part of that.

As LB says, I would rather not be a participant or a target of such negativity.  No matter how unfortunate, sometimes a soul tie must be broken. We can make plenty of other ties, so our world doesn't have to be miserable or get smaller. This is just a necessary shift or adjustment, and when done for the right reasons can bring the opposite, happiness.

Hmm.... Now I have to watch The Beekeeper. 

But when we discover the root cause and how existence works, we become more understanding, we start to see the big picture from a higher perspective and as we do so, we start shifting ourselves to events and circumstances that are alighted with our understanding and compassionate thoughts and such negative circumstances actually stop manifesting within our personal reality. We may still observe negativity in the world, but it does not affect us directly...

I understand LB. This is what I have been working on this "shifting to events and circumstances aligned with our understanding and compassion"... I notice a large change since my spiritual ascension and I became aware of this concept (from you and my other extensive readings). For me, boundaries needed to be set, and that put improvements on a fast track. I would much rather be a third party spectator of negativity than sucked into it directly or worse... become a target to it. Best case scenario is to have as little negativity visibly come my way (news/media etc...). I think even passively observing it is not ideal. Even knowing this, as a human, it's hard not to have a fleeting blip of negativity rear its end now and then, but it's dealt with swiftly and eliminated.

I think no one is fully immune from being negative from time to time (and that includes me). It's ingrained in the physical world we live in. It's hard to be totally immune from any judgement as well, for the same reasons. However I try and keep these to a minimum if possible. I may not have all the answers why someone is acting so poorly or why I had to be on the receiving end of less than ideal behavior. Have a great day as well Tides!

I agree LB with your overview. I also agree with not falling into believing we are "victims", which is a very unproductive mindset. If these events are self manifested lessons via nudges, your theory make perfect sense of a delayed onset, which would make the causal link between event and corrected path very difficult to determine. The delayed onset would also make it "appear" on its face to be just a coincidence. I learned long ago here that there are no coincidences. In the end Captain Keyboard appears to be us, or our Higher Self, when on its face it appear to be just "bad luck". 

When we realize we are indeed stepping into our potential- ...when we acknowledge our spiritual evolution as a consistent opportunity - The less time we have to worry about the negative ones...

I fully agree Tides, which was the point I was trying to make with my words you quoted. The negative ones are a distraction and consuming if we let them be. It's good to be careful out there, but I don't have time for them, as they will serve one purpose and that's to hinder my Spiritual progress by lowering my vibration down to their's. I don't consider this me judging them, but me choosing to not let them influence me in the negative. I have always found "judgement free" boundaries very helpful. 🙂

Even though my upbringing was Orthodox Christian, my Meditation practices have been more Eastern. Interesting enough, there is a form of Meditation in Christianity as well. This is done to feel closer to and be with God, which is again similar to Eastern beliefs. The similarities are numerous, including to look within and quiet the mind, be mindful and present. Some Christians believe that meditation should never be done, so there are differing opinions on the subject. The common goal is to become closer to God, be with God and achieve Oneness with God.

A good article on the subject:

An excellent YouTube Video on Christian Meditation:

This YoutTube video came up as recommended to me this morning. Did you ever have day when you felt something was just off? It could be something simple, like getting behind a large truck going 15 mph under the speed limit 2 or more times in a day (often spewing debris at your vehicle) or a road rager displacing on you for completely unknown reasons, or multiple things going wrong at work, or just small things (or large) that just add up making it feel beyond a coincidence? We all have had those kind of days. When this happens, the first thought I get is to break the cycle by getting home! That usually does it. Almost like a "reset". My brother coined the phrase "Captain Keyboard" is at it again. Lol

When events such as this occur, it really makes me think of the validity of simulation/lesson theory. Some will say these events occurred because the recipient "manifested" it. It sure doesn't feel like that's the case.

Look at everything going wrong with this poor family in mere seconds and to think, they are still home. 😳

I do find it interesting how the common denominator in most religions and all of Spirituality necessitates a state of love to oneself and others. If you are not kind and respectful (love yourself) then it is not possible to love others. It's important to not let this heavy world make us bitter, then the downward spiral begins.

If interested, this is Father Spyridon's take on love and (Orthodox) Christianity. To be like Christ or in Spiritual terms have a Christ Consciousness, one must do their best to
find the state of unconditional love. Easier said than done in this heavy world. For me, when the negative ones act up, and they do act up, I try and let it fluff off me and not take things too seriously or personally. I have may bubble of light around me and imagine it's impenetrable.

Interesting post LB, especially how the feeling lasted while being fully awake. I have felt this feeling while in Spirit: total peace, content, no worries, all is ok, as we are fully loved and accepted. The result is feeling pure bliss. To be honest, when returning here and feeling the weight of all the human filters applied once again, it was disappointing. The states are so different it's almost as if 2 entirely different species are experiencing life/consciousness differently. In a way it is exactly that: human vs Spirit. Such a huge difference between the two. Wouldn't it be nice if these reflections gained in Spirit stayed with us for an entire day or more? Imagine if it were permanent? How life would be so very different.

I am just grateful to have experienced this, as just reflecting back on such a state is not possible, unless you have experienced it in Spirit in the first place. Even though the actual state is gone, and dissipates, the memory is so powerful that it alters our reality and perception of life here in the physical and beyond in Spirit.

I can see why this is one of your favorite poems. Line after line of great life advice for living in the physical world. So much rings true. I will file this away for future reference.

Here is the song playing in the background of Waking Life by the singer Iggy Pop. Interesting lyrics about the Journey.. He had a bit of a controversial life, but in the end he appears to have come a long way. He has an underlying kindness now. Life is truly all about learning. He clearly was on his own journey.

Recent CBS interview. Some life lessons here.

This is a movie is called Waking Life. It's on Lucid Dreaming, and I assume Astral Projection. It's also about alternate Universes. "A man shuffles through a dream meeting various people and discussing the meanings and purposes of the universe". Stars Ethan Hawke and the Director is quite well known. This looks good!
Has anyone seen it?

 

Shifting to a higher state of mind requires one thing -UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! And this is the ONLY thing that will get you there. If you feel that you have to force to feel love, then you are not ready. And that's perfectly fine, we have different paths, but they all lead to that one thing eventually.
To understand unconditional love and to be able to feel it automatically towards everything and everyone, first you need to understand who you are and who and what is everything else/all that is, to understand the purpose of existence itself, and why certain things (negative in our perception) happen.

I've had instances in my life where people were affecting me by acting out of selfishness, fear, anger, etc. At first I would react defensively, judging their actions, but the moment I say to myself "Stop! What are these people showing/reflecting back to you. There must be something about myself, not them. They are teaching me something. They have agreed to act this way towards me to get my attention to something about myself that I need to work on. And on the other hand, I am also showing them something about themselves by how I act towards them. It's an exchange of lessons. So, when I understood the bigger picture and the reasons behind these interactions, I saw them with my mind's eye who they really are on a larger scale. We were sitting at a template level arranging all that to manifest and laughing. From a higher perspective this is just a play simulation to learn. We were great friends with so much love within each of us. I saw the TRUE them, and my love towards them bypassed the physical characters acts. Then in the physical, a few more negative interactions happened, but I did not react like before. I said ah, I see YOU my friend. I love you for showing me what I needed to understand about myself. I hope I delivered the same for you! Then I imagine hugging them. Shortly after, the whole issue resolved and they became like different people towards me. I shifted along with my reaction to something that a human character would perceive as negative. As long as I react to it with negativity, it will continue to manifest that way. The moment I start reacting to the negative with positivity and love (because I UNDERSTASND the purpose of it), it shifts to a true positive experience.

Some excellent posts here! I am really enjoying the discussion as this thread has touched on so many very important subjects.

After my very profound experience with the Light Being, I found it helpful to process things by thoroughly researching similar encounters. I then wrote a 4000 word analysis of my experience. I have shared it privately with only two people here on The Pulse. One of the links in that Paper is a link to Channeled Light Beings. The woman had an NDE experience, and this opened the channel. I normally don't listen to channeled audio or videos accounts all that often, as most don't align with me. This one does, and I encourage all to listen to it (even those that don't typically watch YouTube videos). I believe it is a very credible account and doesn't sound as prescripted or "off" as many channeled events do. No voice alteration or change in tone or tempo either, which sometimes (but not always) is a red flag for me.

The subjects cover just about everything covered in this thread: Fear in general, including fear experienced in the physical realm, the need for gratitude, unconditional love, and kindness. Plus many other topics such as things we need to do to raise our vibration from the small to the large (acts of daily kindness, listening to uplifting music etc....). Also warns of what lowers our vibration. This video helped me process my experience after doing countless hours of research on the encounter.

LightBeam, when the Light Being says at the (8:10 mark) "ask to see the individual Being in front of you, for the light they are not the suit they wear" had a profound effect on me, as it is something that has been part of my soul for as long as I can remember. If only people could look/see beyond the surface of the physical body and know the light within, people would be a lot kinder to each other. This touches on your analysis of the lessons we face from those we encounter (good and bad) and that Love and kindness in the end is the driving force that heals all and helps us ascend Spiritually. See beyond the apparent surface of a being, as the layers beneath are vast and deep and offer hidden meaning for both of you. Never lose focus of the Light in us all.

This video on Sleep Paralysis popped up in my YouTube feed this evening, interestingly enough. It's a highly detailed analysis of this phenomena by The Alchemist. Definitely worth a look.

I finished the video. She seems very lovely and patient.

One step I would like to add is the power of prayer.

If you are overcome with fear, you can pray for help.

Every time I've reached out during an astral experience, completely overcome by dread, and prayed- the experience comes to an end. 100% success rate.

The bubble thing is interesting, as a child I used to imagine a shield of energy around me- not necessarily a shield that deflects but a vacuuming energy that transmutes anything that tries to intermingle with it.

I've also had to keep a light on at night and bust out the mantras, which would go with singing. I love the Om Shanti peace mantra...

Thanks!!

Hi Tides,

Yes, you read her correctly. Here is one of my favorite guided Yoga Nidra videos done and narrated by Rosalie. It is quite relaxing, especially if one has had a stressful day, and may even trigger a projection.

I have had metaphysical events sporadically for over 30 years now. When some very vivid OBEs occurred at the beginning, I did some research, read a book or two. I got too caught up in life and my career to stay focused on the experiences (which they deserved). During the bulk of this period, I would occasionally see a nasty in my bedroom. Likely the sleep paralysis state, though I do not suffer from this in a traditional form. When these types of experiences occurred I could pretty much wake up at will fortunately and end the experience.

When my steep spiritual awakening occurred my mindset changed and OBEs and Projections became much more consistent, as well as other phenomena (energy). Unconditional love was the key. This change of the "state of Being" that you mention Adrian was vitally important and a catalyst to my progress. As a result I rarely see anything scary or nasty in my travels. I do see an occasional scary image, but it's fixed and not an active participant in my experience. As stated, I just end things if I am not liking what I'm seeing.

Of course the incidence I discuss above doesn't fit into the common categories of fear experiences, so that stands on its own for reasons discussed on my previous posts.

Two excellent posts Adrian. Thank you.

Views for Spiritual matters can differ and I can respect that, but I find it important not to impose my or other views onto each other as irrefutable conclusions that must be adhered to. Everyone's experiences are incredibly unique and catered to that particular individual. I feel it's important to never lose sight of that.

Thanks for your thoughts and video link LB.  Yes, both your post and Kaya's comments closely resembles my experience. What I experienced was overwhelming and so profound that it was too much for human senses. This experience was for me, and was needed for my own Spiritual progress. The experienced became so burned into my memory that even with eyes open or closed I can still see the experience 1.5 years later in vivid detail. It will stay with me forever.

As you mentioned this type of experience is so high vibration that our physical mind can not process it, comprehend it or take it all in. The real thought, analysis and processing comes later, and it is substantial due to the glorious, splendor and power of not only the being but the experience. It did feel as if the physical mind was trying to protect the survival of the physical vessel through the reaction of fear. The Light Being withdrew as the fear levels grew, as it also wanted to protect me.

The fear response was completely involuntary, despite me knowing the Light Being was not malevolent. I don't scare easily and yet I and every atom in my body was totally overcome by fear so extreme, that human words can't describe it. In this particular case,  no magic word of  "I am safe" was going to prevent this. The fear response was going to happen and was intricately planned as part of my lesson. We are not talking about a thought-form or lower tiered entity here, where such words and beliefs going in can prove helpful. We are talking about something rarely seen, that I was fortunate enough to experience, and that includes the fear that came with it.

Our vibrational level and frequency dictate our Spiritual placement in relation to God/Source/the Divine. This is why experiences vary so much from one individual to another. My energy levels, vibration and frequency are very high, I feel blessed, and it's not just my intuition and personal observations either as many other gifted people have made assessments and come to similar conclusions as well.  This, among other reasons, is why I believe, I have seen what I have seen.

If one has not had this experience then there is no reference point to compare or critique. Kaya said, fear can eventually bring bliss. If members have been keeping track of my posts, that is exactly what has occurred with my many subsequent blissful energy and Divine experiences.

Hi Xanth, Though I agree...that is a very healthy and accurate mindset going in that we are perfectly safe. Under very rare circumstances, even going in with full awareness of the safety in the Astral, RTZ and higher realms, I was overcome by fear regardless in this instance. I never felt the being was going to harm me, in fact far from that. The experience for my earth bound spirit form was just too much to handle. I tell myself, if this encounter happens again, I will be ready for it and I believe I am. Once again, this experience is set far apart from all the rest. We are not talking about a thought-form in the RTZ or Astral here, I am talking about a life altering visit from a being very high up in the Divine realm. There is a very big difference. Everyone's experiences are different and some are at an intensity, splendor and vibrancy that are not often seen.

I miss Art Bell. He was one of a kind.

The vast majority of my Spiritual experiences (>99%) are beautiful, peaceful, loving and Divine. On very rare occasions there can be an Astral, OBE, RTZ or a Divine experience that can invoke fear. It is important to note that a fear inducing event is not always created by a scary looking or a malevolent being. One particular experience I had, which I do consider a Divine experience, was extremely fear inducing and still sits far apart from all the rest of my experiences as it was overwhelmingly detailed, vivid, and so spectacular that I had difficulty processing it. I know the being I experienced meant me no harm. I was simply caught off guard and not ready to process such an overwhelmingly dazzling experience that came from the darkness.  I shared my detailed experience with Rosalie privately (and a select few on the Astral Pulse) . Rosalie subsequently had her own frightening experience at the Monroe Institute, which she has spoken about publicly via her YouTube videos.

After her visit to the MI, she reached out to me regarding one of her courses and to chat. We had a very enjoyable and lengthy video conference on this topic, as well as many other topics. She has now done a YouTube video on this very subject on how to cope with fear encountered during Out of Body Experiences and in the Astral. She has wonderful incite on how to deal with the fear response. I speak very highly of Rosalie, she is extremely knowledgeable, sincere, kind and very advanced in spiritual matters. She is also an expert in Yoga Nidra and has created extensive and varying content demonstrating this technique. This particular form meditation is to create a mind awake and body asleep state that is used to trigger OBEs. Rosalie's "How to deal with fear" video is linked below. The video has some interviews with the Monroe Institute high tiered staff and trainers, which are very interesting. Her channel is called RosalieYoga.  I figured this would be very helpful to those that struggle with fear.

What matters most is sincerity.

I find "sincerity" as one of the key and necessary attributes to deep spiritual ascension. Be sincere and authentic to oneself, to all you meet be it in a fleeting moment during the day or have prolonged relationships with. Be sincere to all animals, nature, to the planet to spirit to God to the universe etc... the list goes on.  Sincerity is lacking on this planet, which is why things are not as good as they could be.

I am reposting my response here. Nice post and an excellent topic Adrian.

Much of this I agree with, as it just feels right. Especially the comment where you said the Divine can be experienced at any level. I also like how you mentioned experiencing the Divine can be done so at different vibratory level. This certainly can influence the extent of our experience.

I also agree with the 3 tiers of the Astral you referred to and the higher Spirit realms above that. I liked how you referenced humans on earth and depending on their level of evolvement, dictates where they go. I also agree that the quest for money, power, greed, excessive materialism and reckless disregard for another (a violation of the basic principle of treat others how you would like to be treated) dictates what tier of the Astral many go. I absolutely have felt that for years. When a low vibration human lives such a 1 hz life, I always said that they will be rummaging around in the lower astral for a loooong time.   The God part of your post, as you know, I take a bit of a different approach to, which is fine.

It was an enjoyable read.
