What is the artifact you bought? A statue of him or something?

I asked quite a few questions about Thoth in this thread, Micheal said his real name is Thenos.

I'm sure you've read the Emerald Tablets aready?

Wow, I wonder if Metronon is the same as Metatron? Micheal answered a question about him in this thread.

SD: 15.) Is there an Arch Angel named Metatron, and if so what do you think of him?
M: yes there is. Metatron is an archangel very far away from earth unlike myself. He is usually associated with pluto though his association is very fluid in the physical.

Update:
Maybe so! According to http://www.angelfire.com/journal/cathbodua/Angels/Kangels.html

Kasbak, Baskabas A secret name of the angel Metatron.

When I have the money I want to go around the country and train with people who are willing to meet in person. I think this forum is very useful but a lot of sublties are lost in the translation. Maybe if someone could meet with many people and put the bigger picture together things like OBEs would be easier to explain with just words.

Ah, that would not be me then. [B)]

Whatever you want to call the source of fear it doesn't really matter. I think almost everyone has scarey first experiences and they range from spooky figures to people grabbing them to feelings of being trapped in a cave to being in an abyss. My point is that they're all mostly the same thing, here on astral pulse they are known as 'negs'.

Negs can't hurt you, only scare you. They use fear to keep you from knowing how poerful you are out of body.

Do deep breaths when in paralysis to OBE.

There are many threads on this site where these two topics are discussed in more detail.

If you could use any culture, why not use your own?

LOB, that's a very good point and I'm working on a question for Micheal about that.

Some questions:

Do I have to use an actual sword? How about a butter knife?

What do you mean by vibrating the word micheal? Did you say it out loud or is there more to it?

Does it have to be done outside? Could it be inscribed in carpet?

You're welcome! If you figure out a better or more consistent way to do it please let me know!

Hi Red Dragon,

On the pineal, Micheal said that it's simple to undo damage to it from drinking floridated water and I was asking for more details. What's the practical use of knowing that the pineal is pizoelectric? Does that mean you can squeeze your skull and make sparks shoot out your eyes? []


Ok, I found your thoughts on projecting inward to be very exciting! I was staying at a place where if I laid on my side I was facing an East facing window so the sun would come into my eyes. I had a vision/lucid dream where I was visualizing a mountainside in great detail and I thought it was just a random image but reading your reply I think maybe I was focusing on the mountain face you talk about:

quote:
Last night I tried the stickman technique before going to sleep. I never project before bed but I've found that doing things like that help for a morning projection.

In the morning I had a lucid dream where I was trying to project by walking though a wall, but it kept blocking me. I fully expected it to block me but for some reason I had the idea that trying anyway would help. A little later I was visualizing a mountain and the longer I looked at it the more detail it had. It was just like a video game with LOD graphics where the closer you get to something the more levels of information it will draw into the scene.

It was interesting because it drew in the information based on the gestalts, not the distance. For instance, it would draw in all the rock cracks, then all the big trees, then all the grass, etc.

I got the feeling then that by visualizing something and increasing the level of detail to the point of total realism it would result in a space into which your consciousness could naturually project.

In fact I started to get the feeling I get right before I project but for some reason I got a really creepy sensation and stopped the projection before I could make a conscious determined effort to ignore the feeling and keep going.

Spectral Dragon, have you tried the inward facing 3rd eye trick Red Dragon is talking about?


About Ed Dames, I've found that he's like most sources of metaphysical information, you have to take everything he says with a grain of salt. He likes to say things like it's possible to get 100% accuracy using remote viewing with a pool of psychics. That's simply not true since the information they're viewing is never 100% accurate in the first place. It's like saying that by understanding the words printed in a newspaper perfectly you can know exactly what's happening in the world. That's wrong since the newspaper is rarely very accurate.

But I think he's got the type of personality needed for staunchly supporting remote viewing publicly, even though he may be deluding himself in some cases I think he's playing his 'life role' well.

He talked about remote viewing his soul on an RV video called Mindazzle. Basically he said the most amazing things he'd ever come across were when he wrote down 'My soul' as his RV target and then did the protocol.

Predictably he was vague about exactly what he found out but I got the impression he was viewing buildings and structures which were maybe metaphors for different parts of his soul. He also talked about gatekeepers who have been waiting for people to view their soul that way.

I asked a channeler friend of mine about this and she said that when she RVed her soul got images of vast starscapes and basically the whole universe. Her guides verified that she and Dames would get different impressions because she has a very nondual, one-with-everything approach to life whereas Ed Dames' perspective is based in many ways on separation between one individual and the next person.


Thanks for the inward looking information, if anyone is skilled enough to do that trick, please post a thread about it!

There have been times when I had mild paralysis and was able to project without going to sleep. I lay very still and relaxed, I didn't really try to force the projection to happen. I'm pretty sure that if you're at that point and you intend to separate and you relax enough you'll create the etheric double.

I wrote about one of my OBEs like that here:
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12453

Deep breaths is only 100% effective for full-on paralysis, if you are in partial paralysis then it's more a matter of remembering what it felt like the other times you projected. If I have partial paralysis I do not move but instead try to fall asleep again and go for deeper paralysis.

I may wake up then and find that I've already projected, but the only way I know that is that I don't move when I wake and instead check to see what things feel like. Just looking with your eyes is not reliable to see if you've projected because realtime sight is so similar to physical sight.


I think paralysis is where your consciousness tuned to the astral frequency but you have not yet created your etheric double. I have been able to feel myself creating an etheric double while meditating, but I wasn't then able to tune my consciousness's frequency to the astral. So it's like I've got both halves of the problem worked out, but can't figure out how to put them together.


Also I think it's significant that 100% paralysis does not mean you have no control at all, since you always have the ability to control your breathing. Paralysis just turns off your voluntary motor skills, but leaves your involuntary and semivoluntary muscles still connected for survival purposes. Because that safeguard is always there, it seems to me that paralysis is maybe by design and part of a larger process, as opposed to being a completely accidental or defective phenomenon.

If we can find out what that larger process is then it's likely we can find a 100% objectively foolproof method of projecting directly from a conscious state that works for everyone and doesn't rely on a lot of subjective feelings that no one can communicate precisely.


One other thing on how to get to parlysis:

The interrupted sleep method has worked the best for me so far. All you have to do is wake up a few hours early, stay awake for one hour, go back to bed, you'll probably wake up in paralysis or a direct OBE. If it's paralysis do deep breaths to project and you're out!

I haven't found the exact time to wake up and fall asleep that works best for me because I have a really hard time going to sleep at the same time every night. But I've found that the 'inconvenience factor' seems to work to your advantage. You should sleep until you really really don't want to get up, then get up for one hour which is just enough time to make it so you really don't want to go back to bed. At that point go to sleep again with the intention of having a projection.

I agree with you zeno but the distinction is that some things are true whether we believe them or not. "I am a doctor" is dependent on your belief, you're no longer a doctor when you stop thinking you're a doctor.

But the chair I am sitting on will be a chair whether I pretend it's a chair or an elephant or an exploding sun or whatever. The chair doesn't really care what anyone thinks about it or whether or not Joe OBEer has experienced ego death. It's still a chair.

So the problem is deciding whether Bigfoot is like the chair or like the beleif in doctorhood.

I just refresh the Active Topics page so I don't have to go hunting through the maze of forums to find the new posts.

[1.)]

1.) A definition of insanity might be "having a belief system totally outside the bounds of reality". However if the fictional worlds thread is true, then any beleif system a person has would create a reality in a universe somewhere. If they begin living in that created reality then they cannot have a beleif system outside the bounds of reality.

Another way to say it is insanity is "living life in your own head", which assumes that the thoughts in your head are completely internal. But if your thoughts create things externally, then it's not possible for something to 'all be in your head'.

My question is, is it even possible to be insane? If so, what is the real definition of insanity?


2.) Maybe the insanity question can be fixed by adding the idea of locale to make the definition be "insanity is having a belief system incompatible with the reality where your physical expression is."

So does that mean that insanity is relative and if we project to a place to a place with a very different reality, we would be insane by their standards?


3.) I was under the impression that once your pineal has calcified it's impossible to clean it out. What method for fixing the pineal do you suggest?


4.) "your emotions are locked out of the astral, you need to release that lock"

Can you explain in detail what it means for emotions to be locked out of the astral? I don't know where I would start to release the lock.


5.) Often when I meditate I can feel my etheric body double being created, it's like a cloud of awareness that hovers around me.How can I jump into it? I feel like if I can tune my consciousness to the astral frequency at that point I'll OBE, but I don't know how.


6.)"a bunch of people with a lot of power are going to screw things up for a lot of people."

Are they going to screw it up mainly by monumental incompetence or because they're actively pursuing what David Icke would call problem-reaction-solution?


7.) What kind of music on Earth is most like the music the Sun makes?


8.) "Have you ever tried projecting into yourself?"

That is something I want to try, but you seem to be implying that it's impossible. Ed Dames says he's made a lot of spiritual progress by remote viewing his soul, Edgar Cayce was somehow able to examine people internally. Why wouldn't it be possible to project inward?


9.) Is it literally true that the consensus opinion defines our reality? I am sitting on a chair, and as far as I know it will be a chair whether I think it's a chair or not. However if all of humanity got together and believed the chair is an elephant, would it become an elephant?


10.) In programming languages there a two main ways of managing memory. One way, like C++, is unsafe and it's easy to leak memory all over the place. The other way, like Java, uses garbage-collection so any memory allocated can never be lost.

In terms of created souls being like allocated memory, is the universe more like C++ or Java? Can we be lost and God never know what happened?


11.) Some say that when our Universal Creator was created It said, "I want to experience everything." If that's the case then perhaps evil is part of what the Creator wishes to experience. In that case if we were to banish evil from the Earth the Creator might sprinkle it back in so it can continue being experienced. Is that accurate?


12.) Some say the Earth's primary purpose is to toughen sprits up and make us less shallow. If that's the case then if we get rid of evil the Earth will not serve its purpose and God would likely act to add a little evil in. Is that accurate?


13.) Does everything have an akashic record that tells what created it? If so would it be possible to follow the tree up all the way back to God? If so how many nodes would a typical human have to follow to get to node zero?


14.) Wow! The Fictional Worlds Thread is really blowing my mind! There's a story I've been writing in the back of my mind for many years, does that mean I'm that universe's God? Am I going to have the burden of the spirits there wanting me to give them love and meaning and all the stuff I'm hoping to get out of our God?


15.) Are we someone else's Fictional World? I always thought the phrase "Who dreams the Dreamer?" too cute and New-Ageish to be the way it really is, but maybe it's literally true?


16.) SD has shown it's possible for us to go down the tree of created Fictional Worlds. Is it possible for spirits to go up it into our realm?


17.) Oh man, thinking about the FWT is like having a 'realitygasm'. There are so many possibilities! Ok, here's a another question, how does free will come into play here? If you create a world and it starts living itself out, then you rewrite it or if you write out what happens at a timeframe that conflicts with how the world has played itself out, what happens?


18.) What decides what ideas get to be universes and what don't? Are there spirits that decide to be gatekeepers and then create and mediate the universe? Or is it that the gatekeeper is implicitly created when a lot of people think through a certain fiction or idea?


19.) Is it limited to Fictional Stories or can it be for any widespread idea? Could ideas like computer programs have a universe in some way, like a Windows 95 universe?


20.) What do angels call the RTZ and why does it have that name?


22.) "no, the projection double as you call it is a mirror, so you are seeing the effects of a mirror."

How come it doesn't reverse like that all the time, is it subject to some kind of fluxuation similar to how it's easy to get numbers out of order in dreams?


23.) Is there any truth to the John Titor information on the internet? Here's a site: http://johntitor.strategicbrains.com/
The story is that he's a timetravelling soldier from an alternate universe in 2036 who came back for an IBM mainframe because they need to fix UNIX to handle a date rollover. He says the US experienced a civil war starting around 2005.

I'm a lot more interested in the civil war aspect than the timetravelling aspect.




Thank you very much Micheal and SD.

This sounds like it has potential, I'll give it a try!

It is extremely important to distinguish between reality and not reality. If it turns out something is all in the head then it definitely does lessen its importance and it's literally insane to think otherwise.

Experience is the only test, we can philosophize all day about whether the chair I'm sitting on is real but I'm going to say that based on my many 'sitting' experiences I've shared with it that it's probably part of reality. I'll leave the pontification for sctt483.

Very informative, thanks! []

There's a lot of speculation that things like Bigfoot are live on both the 3rd and 4th dimensions which is why they're so hard to detect.

Has any projector here every tried going looking for Bigfoot during an OBE?

Thanks SD, sleep well!

Lol, well glad I could help []. I still think that there's really no way to know if someone's caught up with you or now, it's too fuzzy.

Anyway it will be interesting to see how this project develops!

BTW I like things that I can put in my Known bin because they're 100% accruate according to my experience. Here are my astral projection Knowns which you might find useful in the tutorial:

1.) Negs are harmless to humans who are in a postive mindset

2.) When you're in total body sleep paralysis, doing deep breaths will make you OBE 100% of the time

3.) So far the easiest way to OBE for me is to use interrupted sleep by getting up at least 3 hours early, staying awake for one hour (one hour is important), going to sleep, waking in paralysis and projecting.

1.) Stuart Wilde writes:

quote:I had found four doorkeepers that know they are doorkeepers, and four more that are in the up-and-coming category. They haven't quite got it yet but they will in time. Every doorkeeper has the potential of a hidden dimension beyond him or her, so there must be many Camelots.

How would a gatekeeper go about finding out what gate s/he's keeping?


2.) Robert Monroe talks about leaving the edge of the huge sphere and getting confronted by a guard. Is that the same thing as the watch dog that Thenos reported seeing on the edge of time? Is the garden of eden what's beyond the huge sphere?



3.) Does drinking floridated water damage your pineal and affect psychic functioning?


4.) I've learned to stop materializing things or thinking about the future in the RTZ because it seems to end the projection. It seems to me that by imagining things I lose the connection to the astral and end the experience. Is possible that my projections are short not because of lack of energy but lack of concentration to the RTZ?


5.) Can you tell us about the nature of the RTZ? Is it made of the running average of people's impressions of the physical world? Would it be more accurate to call it the running average zone since it's not really a mirror?


6.) I've projected in my apartment twice, the first time things looked pretty normal. The second time the place was all snazzed up by an interior decorator. Why would that happen? Update: that night I had lit some candles for positive spirits to come and left some angellic type music playing for them all night. Do you think that helped attract an interior designer spirit?


7.) Are 5th Dimensional awareness, Monroe's H-Band, and the voices I heard while in trance and asked you about earlier all mostly the same thing? If not, can you tell us how they're different?


8.) Some people describe Earth as a spiritual kindergarten and we're all kids in school so hardhips are mainly contrived for the purpose of learning. However, from the following Stuart Wilde quote I wonder if some hardships are because things are truely out of control:

http://stuartwilde.com/morph/Mirror/SW_morph_mirror_worlds2.htm

quote:Even the spirit worlds and the afterlife are inside the sphere as far as we can tell.

But the dogs and the Tall Boys are from a world that is outside the ball. If you have ever wondered why God can't come and rescue us, it's because higher angelic beings couldn't get in here.

Is it true that God really couldn't come and rescue us?


9.) On the topic of other universes, do they get along well? Are there ever universal level wars or conflicts?


10.) I understand that stars have souls, are there any stars which have incarnated on Earth now?


11.) Is there any truth to the John Titor information on the internet?


12.) While coming back from sleep I heard myself saying "faf ta-la" which I understood to mean goodbye. I also heard "ta fa-la" for hello. Are there any species that use those words or was I just hearing random sleep garbage?


13.) At http://stuartwilde.com/Articles/SW_articles_aviod_yoga.htm Stuart Wilde says yoga attracts negs and that all the yoga people he knows are neg-infested. Is that accurate? If so are there ways to stretch out without attracting negs?


14.) I've woken up into a projection in the morning and found that my projected double body's head was where my physical feet were and vice versa. Does that happen because the double has the same magnetic polarity as the physical body and so it twists in order to make the opposite poles be adjacent?


15.) There have been reports of people getting their food by staring at the sun before sunset. Is that possible and if so the are people really doing it or are they hoaxes?


16.) Edgar Cayce said that 3 almonds a day makes your cancer-proof, is that accurate?


17.) There have been a lot of reports of bad things that are going to happen at the end of this year, and are maybe related to the pole shift. Does it have anything to do with a North American organization that will create some kind of pretext to grab more power?


18.) Can you tell us about the link between music and spiritual energy? For instance how true is the idea that angels like church music and frown on things like heavy metal? Are there any metal bands you like?


19.) What questions should we be asking that we haven't asked yet?

Thank you SD and AA Micheal.
