Greetings Frank and everyone!

The other book people talk alot about next to Astral Dynamics is "Adventures Beyond the Body", Wiliam Buhlman.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0062513710/qid=1020190709/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_2_4/202-9683165-7103828


I don't have this publication myself - does anyone else have it, an can offer an opinion?

With best regards,

Adrian.

Pleas Adrain- check up www.saibaba.org, and tell me if this is the Sai Baba you and Robert Bruce talk about- Because in that case it´s not the same guy as I was thinking about..

The Sai baba I have been talking about is this one  www.saibabaexpose.com

Well first of all - I do not speak for Robert Bruce, and as far as Sai Baba is concerned I only know of that which Robert has written about in his publications.

I also know almost nothing about any of the Sai Baba's, and have no particular inclination to find out more.

However, from the brief time I had to read extracts from both web pages, I am sure that the Sai Baba Robert was referring to was Sathya Sai Baba - the one who is the subject of the www.saibabaexpose.com web site. The reason I say this is because the site refers to Sathya Sai Baba as an "Avatar", and mentions some of the happenings that Robert mentioned.

I am not sure of the relevance of all of this though. If Robert says that Sathya Sai Baba materialised before him, in his own home, as a flesh and blood Avatar, I for one have no reason to doubt that.  It follows therefore that if Sathya Sai Baba has that ability, then he must be capable of things that would normally regarded as "paranormal".

As I said, I have no idea about Sai Baba, and am not interested, but it is fair to say that great people are frequently the targets of a jealous minority, who, rather than aspire to such greatness, find it infinitely easier to try and drag people down to their own level by whatever means they can. Again - whether this is the situation with Sai Baba, I really have no idea, but I will finish this post with a quote from Albert Einstein which can apply generally:

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence -- Albert Einstein.

In addition to the word "intelligence, you might equally add "abilities".

With best regards,

Adrian.

I agree with this statement in terms of the astral dimensions and higher, but if the real time zone exists, as many claim it does, then it should be EASILY provable scientifically.

Atlas

In my view, and that of many, the "real time zone" is still the Astral, albeit the lowest part where it merges with the physical, and is accordingly subject to the same laws. At best this area of the Astral is a reflection of the physical.

Many people have proved OBE based upon these factors, but conventional science will not, in my view, accept anything less than the sort of proof that will be almost impossible to provide, due to the physical universe emphasis of conventional science.That is the difference between science as it pertains to the physical universe, and that pertaining to the Astral realms and beyond.

I really do not think there is any point trying to satisfy conventional science or medicine on the subject of OBE, alternative dimensions of reality, and all of the spiritual implications of same. Those that are genuinely interested, for all the right reasons can discover the other dimensions of reality in the same way that everyone else does - by seeking and experiencing it for themselves.

With best regards,

Adrian.

I'm running Netscape 6.2.2 at 1024X768. It looks fine for the most part. The small icons at the top of the page next to the  'Home', 'Forum', 'Resources' don't show up. Instead I get black rectangles before 'Home' and after 'The Team'. I haven't noticed much else. The emoticons show up fine in the messages as do the avatars to the side. I've only been running Netscape 6.2.2 for a few days though. If I notice anything else I'll let you know.

Jim

Thanks for letting me know - it is nice to know we are working with the latest Netscape for the most part. The black rectangles you mention will be due to Javascript problems with Netscape - they are actually drop down menu's across the top - hopefully future versions Of Netscape will sort their javascript out.

[nothing to do with conventional science]

Greetings Michael!

I think you misundersand my point - or at least I didn't get to what I wanted to say - and that is - why should we try to prove anything to scientists?

Why does it matter whether they believe it or not?

Science is all about the physical, material, mundane world, and that is the level at which scientists work. There is nothing wrong with that of course.

But the Occult, Paranormal, Supernatural, Metaphysical, Spiritual fields are nothing to do with conventional science.

Trying to prove OBE to a psychologist, is about as much use as trying to prove the laws of relativity to an Architect or whatever.  Why bother?

The person that has everything to gain is the person who is actually experiencing the OBE or other spiritual experience, and which experience is deeply personal.

With best regards,

Adrian.

You were very quick to doubt Robert in the matter of Sai Baba by saying:

And later provided us with your link on the Sai Baba Expose.

Many could say the same about Crowley, who's word you obviously follow, based on what is said and written about him.

I don't have a view on Sai Baba or Crowley, but you cannot judge people exclusively from the written word. You have to know the truth to believe it.

Also I have a really old fashion black magick ritual to become a werewolf, It is has some aspects which I consider to be well thought out ritual (although I do not practice 'black magick') and a lot of eye of newt, tounge of toad type dribble too. Im sure there would be more credible rituals out there if you were motivated to find them.

Greetings!

The image you refer to is known as an "Avatar". It should ideally be an image of 64x64 pixels, and no more.

Hopefully, soon, members will be able to upload their own Avatars, but for now I have to associate an Avatar with a member manually.

If you would like to send me your Avatar as an attachment to an email to:

I will add it to your profile as soon as I can - usually within hours.

For your interest, I just came across this article on Crowley - no comment is necessary, except to say that while you have every right to follow Crowley, and everyone I am sure respects that, you might like to re-consider doubting the word of Robert Bruce when he tells us of his accounters with Sai Baba:

Greetings everyone!

The problem with scientists is that they are, for the most part, well and truly entrenched in the physical universe by their education and careers. They surely cannot and dare not contemplate the possibililty of parallel dimensions, planes, realms etc., because it would against everything they know and their careers, and would cause a real life crisis for them, and everything they have believed and understood. So they can take the easy way out by going into denial, and all of their tests and experiments, rather than being objective, are always designed to disprove anything considered to be paranormal or metaphysical. Accordingly, they hang on to all evidence that suits them, and discard everything that does not, or dismiss it as an experimental error etc..

Psychologists appear to be among the worst for this in my humble opinion, because they have the most to lose - or so they apparently think.  Psychologists are also usually respected people, and so the general public believes them without question. And then there are such things as space travel - which costs trillions of dollars - no scientist or government is going to accept the fact that out of body you can travel around the universe instantly, or that space travel is really a complete a waste of time because it is an illusion of the physical universe. I really can't see the point in even trying to convince these people - does it even matter what they think? If they do not or cannot yet believe, or at least be capable of being open minded, then they are clearly not ready to accept at least the possibility of these alternative realities, much less investigate them further.

Also, how can higher Astral travel ever be proved, when one is dealing with entities and an environment that is fluid, and beyond physical description and comprehension. The best possibilty would be to prove OBE's in the real time zone by visiting somewhere and describing it accurately. But even that is not conclusive of course, because the travel is still in the lowest part of the Astral planes, and subject to Astral laws such as reality fluctuations.

At the final analysis - why bother? The vast majority of the human race is clearly not ready for that knowledge yet, although as time goes by more and more people will be become ready, and will accept the reality of other planes, but this process can only occur in conformity with Divine will, and not by human scientific experimentation. It is encumbent on everyone to assist true seekers to the extent they can do, but not enforce their experiences or opinions on others, and not by means of money.

With best regards,

Adrian.

Personally, I am a bit hard pressed to believe in the existence of werewolfs though I definately leave the possibility open. However, I must agree with Felix that the main reason why people here have trouble believing in werewolfs is not because of fear but because it is much more difficult to believe in a actual physical "moviebeast" than in demons in other dimensions. often reported? How does the actual process of shapeshifting work? etc.

I believe that is the problem. When people talk of demons, werewolves, vampires and so on, they immediately think of Hollywood and the Transylvannian classics http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile_evil.gif" border=0>

The fact is that these entities may well have legendary origins, but like so many things over the centuries, have become distorted much like that game of chinese whispers. They become glorified and enhanced to make a great story. Here in the Isle of Man, legends like that abound, and many are based upon real life happenings, which are simply not explainable in any conventional way.

Also in the Isle of Man, there are many, many old Manx cottages - some derelict now, and some still being lived in, and the vast majority of them have Elder trees growing in the garden or by the doors for protection. Even the derelict cottages still have their elder trees growing around.

I am sure that many of these entities, including the nice ones like Dragon's Unicorns and the Fae Folk, originate by portals opening up into the physical world from the Astral, allowing Astral wildlife to temporarily manifest here. Of course, people with psychic abilities and Astral sight can see some of these these entities anyway. But I am sure that these Astral portals do indeed open up from time to time, and Astral life can then manifest in the physical - this seems to happen in particular around a full moon by all accounts.

I do not believe that to be the case with werewolves. My best guess there is that werewolves are black magicians shapeshifting to the classical figure of a werewolf to carry out whatever dark deeds that have in mind.

Another name for this ability or process is Lycanthropy. Of course shape shifters also shift it other animalistic forms, hence werebears, weretigers, weredogs and so on.

I do not believe the process is as portrayed in the film "An American Werewolf in London", which is most amusing - has anyone seen it?

I am certain there is an explantion for everything, and nothing should be dismissed.

Adrian.

  I have noticed that people who are fearful people always want to not believe what someone else has seen or experienced.

Yet they will not give that courtesty to others.
  I don't lie about what I've seen and I don't try to impress others. I talk about my experiences and people are capable of their own judgements. I feel really sorry for people who are so incapable of a sense of sharing that they have to attack others.

I just want to say that I totally agree with you.

But it is also sad but true that while people are generally totally dismissive of the Occult/Paranormal/Spiritual experiences of others, those very same dismissive people accept the dogma's of their religions without question.

Greetings Dave!

I can see where your motivation is, and seeking missing people is of course very honourable, and an excellent aspiration.

What really concerns me though are the motives of the people putting up that sort of cash. They must be expecting many times that by way of a financial payback one would think.

I still can't get to your web site. If I click the go.to URL, all I get is one of those casino pop-ups, if I click the direct URL it times out - which is not surprising because I can't even ping it - in fact, I can't even ping fsnet!  I have a high speed BT connected ADSL from home, and there is no other site I can't reach. Maybe you should investigate - people like me want to know more?

With best regards,

[want]

Greetings Amir_noma!

I can see where you are coming from.

But the sponsor of this prize might well be making exactly the same mistake as other many people who issue these challenges, and that is by thinking that that the people with these abilities, and are being challenged to prove them, actually want to prove something - e.g. to be a public phenomena.

If that is indeed the thinking, then the sponsors have got things very wrong IMO. Most, if not all of these disciplines are highly spiritual and personal, and often steps along the way to much greater heights where material things such as cash are completely meaningless. There are people with powers and abilities that would make the general public (for want of a better expression) truly amazed, and such people could, if they chose to do so, become overnight sensations. But most such people would never entertain such a notion, and the same goes for most people who are involved in most, if not all highly spiritual pursuits. There have been exceptions of course - Uri Geller comes to mind, but I am not sure of his spirituality or motives.

With best regards,

Adrian.

Most amusing  - I guess the weekend is a good time for lighter posts http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile.gif" border=0>

Only $1M though? We have someone else on this forum who is apparently being offered $21.5M!

People who offer these rewards are usually after public sensationalism  - I would suggest that no serious spiritually minded person would ever entertain such a notion.

Oh, and one more thing  - accusing Robert Bruce of being a charlatan is not the way to be taken seriously or make friends on these forums.

Thanks for your response  - most interesting!

I am familiar with Pranayama. This whole area of energetics seems to be to be worthy of further investigation and discussion.

From your understanding (or anyone's), in what way does energy manifest itself when practicing Pranayama, and how is the energy collected and directed for healing and other energetic purposes?

Thanks and best regards,

That is a matter for you to decide of course.

But in my opinion,  the best way is to remain open minded, respect the positions and views of others, however far out they may seem to you, and only consider true that which you know to be true from your own personal experience.

If as a Thelemite (presumably) you like to believe that of Crowley, then you are perfectly entitled to do so.

But as you are so keen on web sites and documentaries, you might like to take a look at this:

First of all - your web site still doesn't work. In fact, I have not been able to reach any fsnet site in recent weeks - are Freeserve still running it?

You need a live site anyway.

You might want to post your message in the Metaphysics forum as well.

Good luck anyway!

Well the person known as "Jesus" apparently drew fairly substantial crowds around him a couple of thousand years ago. He was almost certainly a Master, just like several others before and after him who incarnate from time to time.

I do not know Robert Bruce's position on werewolves, but his belief of Sai Baba is not just from reading about him, or from being told by someone else, but by virtue of the fact that Sai Baba apparently materialises right out of the ether, and directly into Roberts home as a real flesh and blood Avatar.

As I said before, I don't know much about Sathya Sai Baba, and have no inclination to find out more, but you have to admit that he certainly fits in well with this subject of "Tangible entities".

As for werewolves - to say they do not exist, would be to say that anything beyond the physical or "normal" does not exist. The other planes and worlds are vast, and the abilities of both white and black Magicians can also be vast.

Werewolf legends abound as do Faeries, Dragons, Unicorns and so on - what is your position on them?

Sai Baba stepped out of this light and materialised in front of me, solid and life sized. He beamed at me, smiling and gesturing animatedly towards me, as if saying: "Now you've found it what are you going to do with it? Baba stayed visible only for about thirty seconds, but this event had a lasting effect on my work, not to mention upon myself, greatly encouraging me."]

Greetings Distant Bell!

I don't have an opinion regarding Sathya Sai Baba, because, aside from what Robert Bruce tells us from his own personal experiences of such materialisations before himself, in his own house, and which I have no reasons to doubt, I know almost nothing about him.

Note: Please see the article on N.E.W for the account of Robert's own experience:

http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/portal_articles.asp?catid=5&cattitle=Energy&area=

The quote from the article is as follows:

Many people do regard Baba as a genuine Avatar, with great capabilities, and which prompted me to investigate further - but, as you say, opinions do vary widely as to who are what he is, and whether he is genuine or not.

From my own perspective, Sai Baba is just a person I am aware of, but have no further interest in whatsoever from my own perspective. Maybe if he suddenly materialised before me, I would alter my position somewhat http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile.gif" border=0>

But in general terms, as Adept of Light articulated extremely well, in these, as in most matters, it is well to be open minded, and, most importantly, formulate positions based on personal experience, rather then the opinions of others. Your own truth is the real truth.

I have to say that the forums are more or less working 100% - if I find a problem, I do my best to fix it, and usually do. The vast majority of problems originate from very old PC's and buggy browsers - notably Netscape and the Mac browsers. But I am sure people appreciate that I simply cannot work to the lowest common denominator. If we did that all the time, we would still be watching TV in black and white, and using MSDOS operating systems!

The objective is to offer the maximum level of features and service, for the maximum number of people, and I think that is what we have accomplished. For those that are having problems, all I can do is to apologise, and suggest that at the very least you use the latest version of your FREE browser software, and maybe consider a more modern PC as well. If people can't be bothered to upgrade their browsers, or use Internet Explorer, then there is really nothing I can do about that, and do not intend to try quite frankly. Running these forums takes many hours each day as it is of my time.

As for the polls - the poll should go away once you have answered it. You can always answer with a "Rather not say" if you do not want to put forward a vote - that is why I put that option in there. If the polls still do not go away, then it is a cookie problem at your end - they should go from the main pages once you have placed a vote.

Thanks again!

Best regards,

Adrian.
