Exactly, consciousness is not limited to the lens of a human personality. In this way, it is more than a synchronicity. It is an active, responsive intelligence. The dissolution of what is perceived as outside ourselves.
#252
What's wild to me about that. This consciousness. Is this.

An example.

Suppose you're sitting down at a park and deep in contemplation. You are thinking about the special meaning of a white feather as it has appeared in your life. Suddenly, a white feather gently falls before you and catches your attention.

Now, most folks would chalk this off as coincidence. Or, they'd tell you it's nothing more than your brain actively seeking and noticing the symbol making extra meaning when there is none.

But now, as you stand up to leave, a young couple wearing matching sweaters and holding hands walks across your field of vision. You notice something astounding. On the back of each of their sweaters is a picture of a giant white feather.

What are the chances? Of all things that could have happened, on this day- in this moment, the thoughts in your mind are acknowledged by something supposedly outside your control.

But what else does this imply? It implies that the "sweaters" are also consciousness. If consciousness is all there is than the supposed inorganic material or "non-living" materials are actually alive. Everything is responsive when everything is consciousness.

It's a bit of a head-scratcher, but maybe with this belief in mind, the way we touch- speak and interact with the world around us would change.

Thank you Nameless. Maybe it was a freebie, I have to practice more with it. It felt good. But that strange something is a peculiar sensation I can't explain either.

I appreciate your interest in my previous experience. It's crazy to me because, I would later find my self posting that the negative associations with sleep paralysis has more to do with the dissociation from the physical senses and falling back on fear.

All of this goes to show I don't know much about these other realms, but I don't think these spiders are necessarily negative. More like, "keepers" of this "matrix."

Maybe a separate topic but I had the thought today that all the perceived good/bad/organic/inorganic- it's all *consciousness*

Even the dense material we call wood, stone, paper, blankets, pillows... Cars. Computers... AI.

I'll keep practicing the lightning meditation. Cheers~

A couple nights ago I had a dream as formless awareness of an semi-grassy empty space in Red Rocks, AZ.


There were these stone like mountains on each side and squarely in the center hovering a few inches above the ground were dual rings of silent, static lightning bolts. They made a complete circle and were rotating in opposite directions.

I am still fascinated by this imagery, and decided to try and sit in the rings as a meditative practice this morning. I have had a desire to increase my concentration and this seemed to help. That is, to visualize the lightning rings continually moving around my body, in opposite directions, uninterrupted between long inhalations and long exhalations. That there was no pause or disturbance in the visual of lightning traveling in opposite paths while breathing really did something to my brain.

I'll have to explore more...
#255
Just want to chime in and comment, what an incredible experience. I don't think I've ever witnessed an entire vehicle disappear like that. I have seen a silver orb once coming straight towards my car while driving down a highway- it disappeared just before impact. My heart jumped thinking something was about to hit my windshield.

Quote from: fowlskins on February 16, 2024, 15:29:09i have often thought the same about abductions there are just so many similarities to oobe
many people speak of being lifted off of the bed and floated out through a window etc
we also know of how terrifying sleep paralysis can be not being able to move while the feeling of malevolent presence is in the room

i myself went through a period in my life back in the 90s where i thought i was being abducted by aliens, it was actually psychosis from using far to many amphetamines
at the time it was so real to me i was afraid to go to sleep and when i did finally sleep i would have nightmares and sleep paralysis based around grey aliens
when i finally knocked the drugs on the head and came out the other side i realised how self created the whole thing was kinda one big fear feedback loop
that few months of my life was pretty terrifying

other people see demons or the hag but i honestly think alot of abduction storys come from misunderstood sleep paralysis

I agree that sleep paralysis has been defined through the ages on the foundation of fear.

For hundreds of years, if not thousands, this experience has been described through out history as mostly negative. The story they give us is that a demon is perceived sitting on a persons chest. But that's not what's happening.

People think they are paralyzed because the body is going into deep rest as it always does. But their awareness remains alert. To someone thrown into this state, they begin to panic and fear. They fear because they feel extremely vulnerable, and the knowledge passed down to us by our biological companions perceives what's happening as a threat. After all, we identify with our physical senses. So we are unaware our body has entered rest and start to envision scary, angry and negative things as we try to fight ourselves back to being awake. But we don't realize we are already awake. And if we were calm we would realize we're seeing with our eyes closed. This shows us our awareness is not anchored to the body. The majority who choose to hold on to fear don't realize they aren't paralyzed at all, and that their awareness is free to roam detached from their body.

I think many of us are having to learn (What really is this?) this "reality" beyond what has so far been defined through our physical senses. Are we just our bodies? No... But to truly contemplate this, we need to prepare for the transition when the physical body(the one your awareness is resting in now) is returned to the host planet and our dissociation means experiencing an entirely new and mostly unknown chapter.

If you wish to say, but the demons are real it really is happening- I understand. So I will say every negative entity I have ever encountered has been of my own creation, and I have never been harmed in a sleep paralysis episode having had them for over a decade. I have always been protected when fear outweighed the lesson. The lesson is usually a construct designed to face an aspect of self/truth in which I would otherwise not willingly confront.

In the beginning those malevolent shadowy figures were challenging me, daring me to go OOB. In another example, a giant hand tried choking me and pinning me up against the wall. But I have had ET's or Archangels... Whatever IT IS, completely neutralize a scene and end the experience.

I do think we are being tasked to understand, "what is this- really?"
#257
I had a sleep paralysis experience and didn't even realize it until half way in... I will share the log from the moment I woke up from a dream to use the restroom:


wake up to pee.

i am stumbling to the bathroom by the way, my balance is so off im amazed i hadn't just fallen over completely. its significant and makes me wonder whats going on. i realize how fast i had forgotten my dream and ask myself- what did i just dream? i try really hard to recall, reaching for anything. suddenly i remember the local grocers, and the girls of interest.
i am so happy as i go back to bed, i feel confident i will at least remember this much whenever i wake back up.

there's some in-between here. i'm not sure if i ever fell back asleep, or whether i got up to pee a second time. but i am turning from my side and attempting to sleep on my belly. i don't realize i am starting to experience sleep paralysis. i see an etheric emerald green light roughly the size of a fist in the empty space before me, just above my head. all of these ideas are coming to me as i reach my hand towards this translucent green pulsing light(different realities/experiences). my mind starts pleading, "help me god. help me god, help me" as i stretch my arm out.

suddenly i get a very distinct impression or flash of imagery. like everything i had just dreamt, and everything i am currently experiencing- has refracted itself like the collapsing of an illusion. and instead i see/feel this idea of organic/inorganic spiders with these cables of light/energy protruding from them. like they are somehow weaving my holographic experience. with my hand still reached out from my bed, my door swings open. this takes me by surprise. i realize something feels off.

"whose there" my thinking mind is speaking out loud in this astral space. i still feel the green light before me. its dark in my room, and there's only blackness on the other side of the door. but a entity disguising itself as my mother comes swooping in from the blackness. she instantly tries comforting me with words- but i cant quite see her or her face. i am only given the impression that this is my mother cooing me to sleep. i know something is not quite right, and i know this something is not my mom... i feel the very heavy sensation of sleep paralysis-

(now that i'm awake recording, i wonder if it was one of those spiders creating this imagery? the feeling was not quite vampiric, but more like i am being drugged to sleep- powerful acting drugs)

the sleep paralysis was exaggerated to where this heavy sensation was being pressed upon me/around me. it moved with this entity as it walked around the front of my bed and over my left shoulder. it is trying to 'comfort me.' my thinking mind physically struggles with this energy(interesting to note), thoughts of a grunting/rustling is made audible/echoed in this space. i push whatever is now behind my left shoulder off of me. i lean into it and exacerbate the words, "gettttt off!"

the sleep paralysis releases itself and i wake up, realizing everything i had just experience was the in-between state/dream not my usual waking state. it wasn't until my bedroom door had swung itself open did i start to realize something was off(that i was in the, in-between).
#259
Thank you. The night before we both dreamt of a visitor. Only, I believe my creature friend was physically present. Maybe it was for her too. We had a similar experience but different. We're states apart, and located on our beds. Yet, a creature would visit us around the same time and in a similar manner. I can see why you would use the choice word, 'frequency location' considering our 'physical location' would appear apart.

Now in this example, I was awake. Not sleeping. So there are still some choice words to be had as it relates to dreaming, especially if we consider the state of being "awake" the same as being a "dream."

In other words, though our awareness resides in the physical host body as we move about our day to day- we are still dreaming. I am starting to conceptualize awareness or consciousness as being all there is. Which really boggles the mind- as if this "structure" we are presently within, is not necessarily the true nature of reality.

This goes back to Taks expression- the distinction between You and I begins to fade. However, it would appear there are still distinctions with regards towards personal experience. I can only postulate this means we have gradients to work through or layers to peel- these various types of "bodies" which compromise our being. I speak of a physical body, emotional body...  I think things like fear, or unresolved trauma's tend to dictate experience or spur "deviations/distortions." Or maybe it has something to do with this, "present YOU" that you have mentioned. I don't know...

I just think, perhaps there is a realization we aren't actually separate- we aren't actually states apart...

I'm curious how this third party/entity would appear to us around the same time. Distortions in our experience? Yes, but statistically rare similarities. Where did it come from? Where are we really... ?

I feel like we're all inching closer towards this understanding... I want to know.   
#260
Thank you, yes I believe I understand.

So my question then is, where are two people who dream of a similar environment actually going? Where did Casey and I go that night- to dream such a similar but different dream?
#261
Hi Tak,  :-)

I have a question and would like to read everyone's thoughts. I understand this is your journal, so if we need to move this please let me know. I'm not sure what to title the thread...

But I've had a similar friend like you. That is, we were so comfortable with each other that it was a casual relationship. Maybe there was a familiarity on a soul level. But I did not want a marital relationship with her in this life.

I guess my question is, what's the real vision- what's the right vision?
I believe the answer is, both are right. It's all real, there's just a unique lens that is the individual.
What allows us to share these experiences, even if they are slightly different?

This girl I tried dating, she would have dreams and say things about me that I found disagreeable. But they were so real to her, and that's how she navigates her life. I felt some of what she's dreaming caused distrust in the relationship. Sometimes I did not appreciate how convinced she was by these dreams with me. But I would not want to belittle her intuition.

Let's use this example of Casey and I... In one night we both dreamt of being in a vehicle. She was in the backseat deflecting an aggressive mans attempts to hit her or whoever she was with. No contact was made. In my dream I was reaching behind me to hit my sister in her face. Mine wasn't so aggressive but it was a "boop" (which is very uncharacteristic of me). Contact was made.

So... whose vision is the right one? Who is seeing clearly?
I believe the answer, again, is both visions are true and both are seeing clearly.
But what would allow us to dream of a similar circumstance the same night? With two completely different outcomes and characters? Why would we both dream of the same situation- a similar environment? What part of that shared element is TRUE and what part of that shared element is PERSONAL? And why did we share an element?

Like with your friend who visited you in the astral. You said you had a different experience from him.
Or my friend with whom I tried a casual relationship- near the end she would say things I just do not think were true. In some way she was picking up on something, but the filter of her personality filled in the gaps and the distortion was too much for me to say she was correctly understanding the information being presented.

If I were to tell her this it'd probably be taken as an insult- like, "who are you to tell me?" All I can do is speak from the present, or from my own limited visions.


Thanks for taking the time...

Hi Antwand,

Welcome to the astral pulse. I'm a bit of a newbie, but welcome nonetheless.  :-) You've had quite the experiences, and a really solid website. I look forward to reading more.

The link to your blog doesn't work, but I went ahead and subscribed to your youtube channel. It looks like you're doing a lot of great work, keep it up.

Eric

Hello Tak my new friend,

This is very interesting, very insightful. I really know what you mean when you say, "sometimes the gap between 'You' and 'I' stops making sense and the line of ego is blurred." And also...

Sometimes my Ego gets in the way of seeing things clearly, like an excited child jumping up and down at the prospect of a shared experience. I know I've misconstrued meaning before as a consequence.

You had a really incredible experience, and are so fortunate to have something shared at that level.

I'm responding because sometimes I observe these "similar" but "different interpretations" in a group dream log recorded on Casey's forum. They aren't necessarily exact but there are curious alignments.

A recent example of what I mean is... I heard something crawling on my house above me one night- it felt like a strange creature. It was around 3AM and I was in and out of sleep. That next morning Casey reported a lupine creature just above her compelling her to wake up.

Different experiences... but something similar... (? ? ?)

Last night I dreamt of booping my sister in her face with my fist. It wasn't a hard punch, but a firm and mild contact. It made her angry. She was in the backseat and my mom was driving us all in a bus. I should note, she was driving on "wet, sliding terrain."

Well I just read of some details from Casey's dream where she was in the backseat of a truck deflecting the strikes of a "butch man." In her scenario, he was driving and reaching towards the backseat to hurt whoever was sitting back there. He was unsuccessful and drove aggressively as a response... "slippery and slidey" so to speak.


Different experiences... but something similar... (? ? ?)

I seem to recognize this "language" when others chime in and share their dreams. What is it all about?

It's that blurring of the line you mentioned earlier... Where "You" and "I" fade.

I do find there are some solid identifiers at times. Like colors. So that your friend mentions a blue halo to you, makes me think there is truth to it and that your intuition about it is right.

It would appear in last nights dreams some common "identifiers" were thievery, aggression, the color black. Just last week I spent a lot of energy trying to understand the difference between a shared experience and a personal one. And as you can see, it isn't always so easy to know what's what.

How strange that last night- Casey and I would dream a similar, 'environment' but different interpretations- like her successfully thwarting a persons attempt at striking whoever was in the backseat... compared to my successful attempt at booping my sister in the face, specifically, reaching towards the backseat to do so. 

I am being prompted for stillness now as we share this topic together... There is something to learn here, and I hope to continue this endeavor and learn correctly.

I want to share one last thing. During a time of intense spiritual phenomenon I dreamt of meeting a girl(my coworker at the time) at this bayou. It was an autumn setting and there were leaves everywhere. There was golden light. I met her at this place and our bodies completely disappeared. All that was left was the environment, and the gold light. I felt something amazing. Like we were there, present, as one without form.

When I went to share with her the next day, she confirmed with me that this is the place she goes to in her meditations to work through her emotional body. I am withholding some details about the environment for brevity's sake, but details she was shocked to hear me describe. What's crazy is, I was convinced she was a wife of mine from a past life. But the Ego in me was attracted to her in this life and wanted her on a purely physical level whereas she wanted nothing of the sort. Live and learn.  :roll:

I share this because I think it's important to relate the struggles of Ego and realizing all visions are just and true.

All paths lead to One... "Though our journey may differ, the destination is the same."

I hope to read through your post again, and continue learning this "universal mind language" as is being presented to us. There are certainly topics within topics happening here... So I leave it at that, for now.

Welcome to Spiritual Evolution! / Re: Expansion
February 03, 2024, 19:22:51
I really like that quote, and feel I am beginning to experience the truth to that in a manner that connects us to each other.

There is still the little i, which is full of its glory and limitations.
Then I feel this expansion through out the day and my mind no longer feels bound within the confines of this body- but taking residence in the space around me. And there is nothing to do here, its like brilliant rays of information are relaying themselves to me and everything is perfect in the moment. Complete peace and understanding. Even as things are being played out between little i's.

It's rather miraculous. And I feel your quote really touches upon that experience... Thank you.
#265
<3 Wow Tak, thank you for sharing such incredible experiences. I really love both of them, but especially your healing dreams with the dolphins. You really touched something in my heart. And I think the child like wonder is something the Gurus tell us to aspire for.

May we never lose our sense of wonder. You have just motivated me to pay extra attention to the details tonight. It feels like we're pioneers of consciousness.
My spirit bows in gratitude.

#266
Something really nice happened in meditation last night before going to bed-
I briefly heard and felt the sounds of whales. With closed eyes it felt like I was a whale communicating to other whales. I felt the depths of the ocean and the longing of sound pushed out from my Being. It was brief, but it was quite magical. I could sense these giant forms moving in the ocean with my 'minds eye.'
#267
 :-D
<3 Thank you Tak, I admire your thoughts and share a similar sentiment.
#268
Hi Tak,

Wow those are very special experiences. I think you're onto something, this idea about your future self...

And with UFO sightings. I used to think we don't see because our awareness is so used to perceiving from the physical host body, in a 3D environment. But that sometimes we see 'partial glimpses' of UFO's and not how they appear in their entirety.

As I learn more about who/what initiated me in 2008- it all seems to go back to what others are talking about with this 'mass shift' in consciousness. I'm not sure I understand this photon band concern spoken by others. But the 'return of the king' could be a kundalini like experience happening en masse on an individual basis. Maybe it does mean our density changes that we indeed begin to perceive these beings?

I have, at one time, seen three irregularly shaped semi-translucent orbs of different hues playfully chasing each other in my backyard. It was near 3AM and I was outside meditating. I could *feel* the joy in the atmosphere.

Well. Thank you for sharing your experiences with you. Definitely we are not crazy, and I think now is the time to speak with more conviction concerning our experiences and our explorations. Even if it ultimately means we do not understand. I want to bring that side of mystery/reality to life.

I really appreciate that you took the time to check out the other thread, that took me by surprise.

I hope you have a great day.  :-) 
#269
just wanting to share an experience i had when i was a teenager. i used to sleep with my door open.

one time i woke up, groggy, but definitely awake- i sat up with my back leaned against the headboard. i looked out my bedroom door and saw a hazy black figure gliding down the hall. it had a golden mist around it. its head was irregularly shaped and pointy. it was basically cloaked by the black hazy light. i could not see any facial features. but it stopped to look at me. even though there were no eyes or face that i could recognize- i could feel it was looking at me. suddenly a very loud metal noise was projected into my head. it was so intense i passed out.

i'm in discussion with a friend and, she had me thinking on this experience. i realized the being did not hurt me, and even though it was scary- no actual harm came my way.

i would also like to say this was not an in-between state like sleep paralysis. this was actually awake, like when you get up to pee. i was not falling back asleep. i was knocked out by a noise(and likely, fear).
#270
I really enjoy reading your reply, Tak.

I think, as long as there is- "i, my, me mine" (Cue polysics =P) most definitely we are going to be terrified.

I've opened up a conversation about this very thing with Casey over at the GTC-
https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/omtalks/discussing-et-s-and-mass-contact-t2257.html#p31027 (for anyone interested).

We're all students here, and we're learning to see the world with a new set of eyes. A language that goes beyond the concept of, 'i, my, me mine' and we're contending with years of biological fight/flight evolution.   

It would appear there are many ways to experience life on Earth...

PS... Did you enjoy the popcorn and Interstellar?   :-)

Hi Lightbeam, yes the dream makes sense to me.

How is the D&D movie? I think I have the option to rent it for $5.

Also. I can confirm of having multiple dreams at the same time. I refer to them as layers.

Thanks for sharing your adventures, it sounds fun. Are you a fan of the movie, Interstellar?
#275
Thanks Kodemaster.  :-)  Happy New Years 2024.

I'm sharing this today with my spiritual families:

QuoteDifferent methods called religions and philosophies have been adopted by different nations at various periods. Though the form and teachings of the several religions appear so unlike, their source is one and the same. But from the very beginning the differences have created prejudice, envy, and antagonism between man. Such dissensions occupy a large portion of the histories of the world and have become the most important subject in life.

   So many castes and so many creeds,
   So many faiths, and so many beliefs,
   All have arisen from ignorance of man,
   Wise is he who only truth conceives.

A wise man realizes that the fundamental basis of all religions and beliefs is one: Haqq, or truth. ... Those who see the truth uncovered abandon reason and logic, good and bad, high and low, new and old; differences and distinctions of names and forms fade away, and the whole universe is realized as nothing other than Haqq. Truth in its realization is one; in its representation it is many, since its revelations are made under varying conditions of time and space.

As water in a fountain flows in one stream but falls in many drops, divided by time and space, so are the revelations of the one stream of truth.
