cnn says '4 bombs'
I assume that new york times meant bombs

My mistake; I thought there had been five. Two were recovered undetonated.

7 bombs on 7/7/7.

Are people who lack a sense able to experience it during meditation or phasing?  Do the paralyzed feel vibrations; do the blind see colors/shapes; will the deaf hear sounds?

Were the congenitally handicapped (i.e., those who have never experienced certain sensations) able to obtain feeling in an altered state, then it would be compelling evidence of an expanded model of consciousness.

My name is Dave. This is my first post, and I'm so happy I have found this website. It will be valuable to my interests. I have astral traveled for a while, but recently I have noticed that when I return it feels as if my spirit is slamming back into my body and at that moment I also experience load chaotic noise; as if there is a room filled with people yelling. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what is it ?

I suggest you post this question as a new thread.

I've found that raw garlic, of all things, can increase dream lucidity a great deal.

My nose chakra must be developing faster than the others.  

Dragonhawk, welcome to the board.

In my attempts to AP from a LD, I've had two dreams that included some low-level awareness of the dream state without any degree of lucidity:

1) A dream character tells me that my irrational thinking is evidence of dreaming. I agree yet don't become lucid!

2) 'Realizing' that I am dreaming, I walk onto an airport runway in front of an incoming plane. I pass straight through the fuselage when it hits me, and then, remembering that I can fly, turn 180° to rocket away. This was one segment in a dream that was otherwise normal.

What is going on? I can't figure out if this is purely my subconscious acting out my waking thoughts, or what.  

Thank you all for these great responses! I've just begun AP/phasing; for the time being my abilities can't come close to satisfying my curiosity. With any luck I'll be able to answer these questions for myself in the next few years.

What made you think there was more than F3, and why have you decided that there is no F5 etc. (or have you)?

It has happened a few times recently during meditation, always located in the same spot slightly above the tip of my nose. Have others experienced this characteristic pressure in areas besides the 3rd eye?

first off, I'd rather not hear of anyone that has to tell me to stay straight to meditate or obe. With me, it just doesn't work. I know those are defeatist thoughts and I don't like to sound that way. However after months and months of practice I just figure I'm one of those people that just can't relax and focus.

Have you tried all the various methods of meditating? I practice Theravadan Buddhist meditation, which is the only method that has ever worked for me.
