Actually the 'new ice age' and 'global warming' theories are the same thing. The overall theory is that global warming will cause a fair amount of the ice caps to melt which will cause a lot of fresh water to enter the oceans reducing the overall salinity.

There are huge underocean currents called the conveyor belt which circulate heat around the planet, they rely on a difference in salinity to work. When the oceans get diluted they will stop moving rather abruptly.

The conveyor currents are responsible for bringing warm water to places like England and Australia, without the warm water coming in they will freeze, resulting in an ice age for most of the planet.

It will take many thousands of years to rebalance the salinity and get the conveyors moving again. If we damage the ocean's currents we're pretty much hosed.


The popular media never explains anything in any detail so it's easy to get the idea that these two ideas are unrelated and just scientific fads rather than a coherent idea that has survived several decades of research.

I like the spirit of your ideas but I have to point out that the first two points assume that there's some linear progression in developing skills. There is no such thing, so it's not even possible to say one person is more proficient than another.

Why bother even discussing who is more proficient than another? It seems like an inefficient use of time that could be better spent simply practicing the skills.

When I concentrate on my third eye too much I get a headache.

It could be possible to meld part of your etheric brain to the akashic records and then when you're in the physical you can selectively access the bits you need without having to download the whole thing.

There's a lot of stuff that could be done by having fluid access to both dimensions. I have a feeling that highly talented poets and musicians are doing that on a subconsious level.

Are you saying that I turn a dream into a lucid dream and the use that to go into an OBE? For me if I can become lucid enough to know that I'm dreaming, then I can turn it into an OBE more or less automatically. My problem is getting awareness in the dream in the first place.

In dreams I have a different personality and I never remember my physical self. When I was younger that wasn't the case, but it seems as I've grown my dream self and physical self are not on speaking terms any more.

What I really want to do is learn to project straight from a waking state, which is why I'm finding the remembering the feeling right before an OBE is important.

Well dang, I wound up dozing until 2:20 and I didn't even project.

My image in the mirror was something else that was different from my last OBE. The time before my hairstyle was mix of my new and old haircuts. This time it was completely my old hairstyle. I was also wearing glasses this time and I definitely wasn't wearing them in bed.

I hadn't intended to see myself this time, the mirror is really big and it's hard not to miss when I was seeing how my place had changed. It looked like there was some kind of stain on my clothes and I figured that if I could see it then so could my guides. I wanted to go chat with them and didn't want to look like a total slob.

upstream, I tried going through the process but it wasn't working out. I found that I could feel myself creating the body double but then wasn't relaxed enough to transfer to it. Then I would fall asleep and not have awareness to project. I think it just take practice in some cases.

True but if we can use our etheric eyes as if they're physical eyes then we can also use our etheric brain as a physical brain. If we learn things in our etheric brain and then learn to turn on astral thinking just like you could trun on astral sight then you don't have to worry about physical limitations.

Yeah we definitely have no privacy here in the physical, when we die we'll find out just how little privacy we had all along. It's like we're living our lives naked in the middle of the street wearing blindfolds and anyone else can watch us.


Also, in terms of how accurate the RTZ is. Because it's a reflection of our collective interpretation, I don't think you can do things like discover diamond mines and so forth by looking underground in the RTZ. If no one knows the diamond mine is there, then there will be no record of it in the RTZ.

Probably you'd have to go to a higher plane and look in the akashic records for something like that, but if you can make it all the way to the higher planes consistently then you are probably going to be beyond having to worry about material desires.

One thing that I want to learn to do is how to create extra time in the astral so that I can project and stay there for 20 years learning things and then come back the same morning in the physical knowing how to speak a dozen languages. Or better yet find out how to absorb information instantly without having to learn it.

That Swami must be a pretty brave guy to go to a cemetary and project.

It is possible to get entities embedded in your etheric aura, just like you can pick up a virus by swimming in sewage you could probably pick up a neg in your body's field if you went looking for trouble in a cemetary. You'd definitely have to keep your guard up and exude lots of light and happiness all the time and never let the graveyard's creepiness give you the willies. If you get spooked for a moment you'd probably pick up a beastie.

Like I said all you have to do is breathe deep for a while and project. When you're out you can make astroids fall from the sky and wipe out the negs. Problem solved. Just make sure you have fun while you're doing it, if you're scared they'll feed on that. You need to enjoy yourself so they can't latch on to any negativity you have.

Any ideas what you do to get paralysis so often? Paralysis is a very useful state and I haven't found a foolproof way to get into it.

Do deep breaths to turn sleep paralysis into an OBE
 
Negs are harmless, out of body you're basically a God and they try to keep you afraid so you don't figure out how powerful you are.

zeno,
Most of the time people feel tired or grumpy just because they're tired or grumpy, nothing more. But sometimes negs give us a little 'help'. There are definitely external entities which are not your subconscious, I've seen them in OBEs and I've interacted with them. They're just as real as anything else you might find in the astral.


Sentential, I agree there are likely negs that just have a meanstreak and would be nasty whether they have enough energy or not, but I have a feeling that most negs are simply unaware that there are better ways to operate and they don't have to be parasites to survive.

I've read about etheric spiders that can only feed on certain low vibratory energy, so even if they wanted to live off love energy they can't yet because their bodies are set up to take in fear energy. They'd have to evolve or change in some way in order to be positive entities.

All my projections have been from interrupted sleep so I can't tell you the steps you go through for a conscious projection. However here's what I've found so far:

1.) Basic relaxed state
2.) Muscles twitching, usually a leg will twitch once and then no more twitching
3.) Floating sensation, usually happens in hands first
4.) Going in and out of awareness, slight dropping sensations
5.) Spinning sensation like twirling on your belly button
7.) Static noise, or rushing sounds
8.) Hearing and seeing hypnagogics


As far as I know the response to all these stages is the same, just be passively aware without reacting to them. If you're doing some kind of visualization to OBE then it's important to not alter your visualization when you drop to a deeper level.

If you like the way the pyramid looks you should leave it there because anything that makes your place more pleasing to you wards off negs.

A neg is a negative entity, it's an intelligent being that has bad intentions.

Apparently some negs are only thought forms, like computer programs that have etheric bodies. They're created for the purpose of hindering things in one way or another, sort like like how scientists create genetically engineered diseases.

Other negs have souls, such as humans who died and lost thier way and now roam around sucking energy from people because they don't know what else to do.

If you're in body negs can make you feel tired or whisper things into your subconscious to make you feel guilty or do bad things. If you're out of body you have a huge advantage because you can see the negs and you're way more powerful than they are.

Out of body you can create giant sledgehammers and bonk them on the head or do whatever you wish. If are out of body and are in a positive frame of mind they can't touch you.

That's why they try to scare us while we're trying to project, all they can do is use fear to keep us from finding out our true power because once we know what we can do we're unstoppable and they're out of luck.

If you're in a dream and have awareness then you're neg-proof because as soon as you realise a neg is screwing with you, you can turn it into playtime.

Actually, that's what happened to me the last time I had a bad dream about three months ago. This woman who claimed to be a spiritual master was talking to me something about God not caring about people. The idea was so intrinsically false to me that it shocked me into lucidity. She tried to press her hand into my chest to stop my heart from beating or something bad and I just laughed and said, "I know who you are!" and rolled back and was fully aware in an OBE!

I went exploring and had a rather short lived OBE because I didn't yet know that materializing things shortens the projection. But anyway it shows that negs can actually be useful. In fact, since I called that neg's bluff I haven't had a single bad dream!


BTW, if you think you might be under a genuine psychic attack SD has a good topic on this on his web site:
http://gatesofmysticism.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=178

He writes, "I noticed that if you have a nice atmosphere in your home the negs don't bother you at all."

Actually, 'real time zone' is a misnomer because there's nothing real time about it! A better name would be 'residual zone' or 'memory realm' or something that alludes to the fact that it's created by the running average of people's interpretation of the physical world over time.

It's not bad if you learn from it and then teach others not to do the same thing, the more people learn from it the more your valuable your 'bad' experiences are.

By shifting your chakra points are you literally lining them up in a geometric line somehow?

Here's a link on NEW:
http://www.astralpulse.com/guides/new/new.htm

It's basically using awareness to direct energy through your body.

I'm going to go outside and practice using my 3rd eye, are there any more tips you have like stuff you like to do when you're just walking around seeing things?

That's definitely a valuable tip! Do you have any tricks for raising energy, like improvements on doing NEW?

It sounds like you were in sleep paralysis, if you want to OBE from there start doing deep breaths. You'll naturally separate and off you go!

Yeah let us know of the stuff you find out about your vision.

I went to sleep last night focusing attention on my 3rd eye and woke up with a nasty head ache. Do you know of a way to develop the 3rd eye without headaches?

Sentential,
I've found that astral vision is a lot more powerfult than physical vision, for instance if I stop and stare at something it zooms in down to microscopic vision. You could probably look at subatomic particles if you tried.

I've also found that you can look through things like x-ray vision and can control the depth of where you want the x-rays to end. I had a dream where there was a teacher who had these odd-shaped wooden boxes with many compartments. Some compartments had false floors that you could take out and see if there was anything underneith.

The idea was that some compartments has objects and you had to control the depth of your x-ray vision and see which one had an object.

There's probably a lot more to astral vision than I've discovered, I would imagine you can have telescopic vision and look at an ant in a galaxy a zillion light milleniums away.

I've tried to look at my aura but my color perception isn't very good in OBEs yet because of my low energy problems. I have seen parts of my aura but I really don't know what the true colors are.

I bet you can also look at something and see versions of it in the past, and examine its history.

Have you tried stuff like this with your 3rd eye vision?

upstream,
I have a feeling the reason the double tends to float upward is something like astral bouancy, the double operates at a slightly higher frequency than your physical body's etheric aura so the double is less dense and floats toward the lower energy level up away from the earth. It's probably like oil and water droplets separating out.

The double doesn't float up forever because there's some tension from the cord, and it rotates around due to like-like repulsion and settles in the opposite orientation from like-same attraction.

I'm not sure that the light/hard versions of the double are all that important since either way they have poles on either end and operate at a higher frequency.

I'll to try your 3-5 minute spinning suggestion to try to separate, thanks for the suggestion!

A lot of people including me have had bad initial forays into the astral because negs like to scare us since they know if we become powerful and can project easily it will be impossible to scare us and feed off our negative emotions.

As far as I know the negs can't actually do anything other than B.S. and scare us into submission, people call it Dweller on the Threshold or Old Hag Syndrom where they get paralysis and see a nasty hooded figure glaring at them or an old woman sitting on their chest.

Do you think it's possible the bad OBE you had was an extreme case of Dweller on the Threshold that only seemed like a posession? Could you tell us more about what happened?

People ask about this so much that I really think it should go into the next RB book or a sticky topic or something.

I've had 100% success turning sleep paralyssi into OBEs by doing deep breaths. I think other people have tried that and has success as well. (Could someone verify that?)

As far as dealing with negs goes, I've found that being thrilled to be in the astral is a foolproof weapon against them. If you're happy and estatic to be there you probably won't see any because your energy field will be too high for them.
