I'm still waiting for this exercise to feel the energy wheels that we have. They look like coloured flowers, do they? Do sprites and elves tender their flow too?

You project a lot right? Does declaring stuff tend to work for you?

You could try, "Now I experience my heart chakra." If you dont want to put the work in thats about the only quick way I can think of for you to experience them.

I've never seen a chakra but they feel very real. I've never felt anything else like a chakra.

I think the vibratory planes you are capable of reaching when out of body are partly affected by the activity of your chakras. It's my experience that's led me to think this.

I've been having the same kind of dreams lately. A lot of them are me taking part in wars and battles. One was even against aliens on horseback!

I had one which spanned multiple lifetimes. In each lifetime I was a different person but had memories of the previous ones. Me and this other guy kept fighting these other people again and again.

Sometimes we would kill sometimes we would be killed. Our enemies were almost like old friends we had been fighting for so long. We didnt hate them but we stood for incompatible things so we had to hunt them down each time. It's the only dream in which I've experienced real joy in battle - as if it was what I(the character) was made to do. We were similar to humans in that dream but had extra abilities/powers.

I've been an assasin several times as well but never a prince.

Previous/concurrent lives or other peoples lives are my guesses. The things just feel like they actually happened.

Congrats mate

I reckon we've all probably been homicidal phycopaths at some point in our previous incarnations.

I dont always manage it but I strive for the same level of compassion that PR talks of.

I mean, say we're all on a path rising closer to god with each incarnation. The most wonderful, advanced, love-filled light being finally gets to the top and merges with god again. He's then got nowhere to go except back down to the very bottom and start the upward journey again. Become the lowest of the low.

Having lost all his memories this wonderful, loving light-being is now acting as a homicidal phycopath because he doesnt know it's wrong anymore. Isnt he now someone to be pittied just like a loved one with alzheimers who doesnt remember who they are anymore.

I try to remember that those behind me on the path were once ahead of me.

This is a simulation of what it's like in the mind of a schizophrenic:

That scared me a bit. It was like a bad trip.

Welcome to the pulse.

Sorry to hear what happened to your mum. Once you get the hang of projecting maybe you can talk her into trying it again.

I personally wouldnt say everyone projects.

To me, projection is about projecting your waking consciousness(or something close to it) to a non-physical environment. Everyone dreams but not with their waking consciousness. For all I know we might all visit the astral every night but I dont think we all take our waking consciousness with us.

I'm inclined to believe that some parts of us are always in the astral and that the projecting is just us moving our waking consciousness to what we happen to be doing in that time/place.

The only trait I can think of that you could probably apply to all projectors is curiosity.

The moments dont pass. You pass the moments. There is only the now - no passage of time. We're the ones that speed up or slow down, not time.

This isnt neccisarilly my opinion. I havent thought it through yet. I just stilled my mind and typed what came to me.

To step into sci-fi for a moment: if we had replicators that could freely make meat that was just as "tasty" and nutritional as real animal flesh do you think it would then be considered cruel to keep killing animals for food?

It wasnt really put across as science. It was more from a metaphysical perspective. They also said a tenth dimensional being called the one coded master had come here to hold the solar system together so it isnt all torn apart in the process. I got the impression that they may have meant that our whole solar system including the sun would appear in the 4th dimension.

We really know very little for sure about black holes. Even if in linear time our sun collapsing is billions of years away who's to say that in consciousness terms it effects wont begin in 2012. My undersanding of the little we know of black holes is that our physics regarding time and the speed of light and stuff start to fall apart once we apply them to a singularity.

They were saying that black holes are like the openings to the silver chords of the universe - that it's conscious and is experiencing itself in different "dimensions" in much the same way as we ap.

I'm not saying I think this is going to happen but I wont be surprised if it does. My inner guidance doesnt tell me its BS and I'm starting to trust my intuition more and more these days.

My opinion.

If you think there's nothing wrong with eating meat then you are just living acording to your nature and are doing nothing wrong. If you feel guilty about it but eat the stuff anyway then you will be acruing a certain amount of karmic debt and creating subconscious problems. To put it in christian terms you would be committing willful sin.

I believe when you eat something you take into your being. When you eat meat you are taking fear and slaughter into yourself. A book I've just read said plants grow from light so when you eat plants you are taking more light into yourself - it's a nice thought.

Another book I read(on hermetic magic) said you can imbue your food with any quality you like before eating it and over time you will take it on. I'm inclined to believe it as other things in the book proved to work.

I've found that the longer I stay away from meat the more repellant it becomes to me. I cant even eat quorn because it's too meat-like. The smell of pork cooking makes me gag nowadays. It really does smell god awful when your mind stops associating it with food.

I just read a book that was supposedly channeled from the "sirian high council". It was quite a good read.

Among other things they were saying that whats going to happen in 2012 is that the sun is going to collapse into a black hole and our solar system is going to be sucked into the 4th dimension. The way they explained it came across as quite plausible suprisingly.

For anyone into channelled books it was called the Cosmos Of Soul.

I would be wary of buying something like that from the website of some random guy I've never heard of before.

If he really had a reliable AP device all he would have to do would be give one to someone famous like robert bruce to try out. When it worked he could offer a cut to RB or whoever to endorse it and he'd be raking in the cash overnight. The fact he hasnt done that makes me suspicious.

I've made the mistake of getting drawn into conversations about the afterlife.  Everthings goes great until they suddenly ask where you're getting all these ideas from.

If there's someone I'd like to talk to about AP I find it safest to start with lucid dreaming first. If they're not very enthusiastic you know to give it a miss and you havent made yourself look mental.

I might bring up chakra's aswell. The subject's just about common enough for you only to be considered a bit strange instead of crazy.

If they still seem interested after LDing and chakra's it's a pretty safe bet they wont run when you bring up AP.

If you want to bring it up straight away you can always talk about someone you know who's into it. I know this native american medicine man and I'll bring him up in conversations sometimes and the metaphysical practices he's into. You can tell pretty quickly whether it would be safe to tell them you're into the same sort of stuff.

The roswell one seemed a bit off to me. Nice to know why.

The memo in the original post seems to be by someone who was much more well informed though.

You've partially separated from your body. Try whatever feels right to get the rest of you out.

Common things to try are rolling out of bed, imagining a magnet sucking you up to the ceiling, imagining a rope above you and trying to pull yourself out(might not work since your hands arent free), grabbing the edge of the bed and dragging your self out, willing yourself out, etc.

You might try asking for help separating. Dont be freaked out if something starts pulling at you if you ask for help.

Look for 'exit techniques' for more ideas.

I dont have more experience so I cant tell you if it changes with time but it's the same with me.

I think the inensity comes from the energy of the place. We're experienceing an energy we're not used to. Remove the energy and you remove the WOWness. All you're left with is the memory of a weird conversation in a strange club and the knowledge that, at the time, it was like WOW!

That was funny.

I always lie on my side to phase as well. It's gotta be my back for RTZ though.

I read a post where someone said the phasing tutorial began and ended with looking at the back of your eyelids and expecting to astral travel. So I thought I'd mention some things you can do with your eyes that makes the noticing approach to phasing easier in my opinion. Personally, I cant phase without doing this.

If you check you'll find that when you close your eyes to go to sleep they look downwards. And when you open them again they look back up. It's like your eyes want to be in sync with your upper eyelids.

When phasing, the first thing I do after closing my eyes is lift my gaze a little. Not quite as far as a right angle with my head. Somewhere between 60 and 80 degrees in relation to my face. You might find it lets a bit more light through your eyelids but it's not really a hinderance. You'll find a point that's as far as you can look up and still be relaxed without your eyes opening by themselves.

The next thing I do is move my eye's focus farther away from my face. Maybe about a foot. Like if you were holding your finger a foot infront of your face and looking at it. You're going to hold your focus at this point.

You might find the combination of these two actions has the effect of moving the blackness a little farther from your face, as if giving it some depth. Doing these things brings on visuals SO much faster for me.

Now you just wait for the flashes of colour and stuff. The key to not losing it when you start to see stuff is keeping your focus away from your face. It's almost like the visuals are occuring in the space between your eyes and where you're focusing. Your eyes will want to try and look at them but of course they cant because there isnt actually anything there to look at. So for a while you need to kind of ignore the visuals. Be aware that stuff is there but dont concern yourself with what it is. As it progresses you'll be able to tell what you're seeing more clearly. It's a natural process.

It's like a transition period between using your physical eyes and your minds eye. Both are active. The longer you can keep your eyes from trying to focus on the visuals the more your physical sight will disengage and the visiuals will start to take more shape and become clearer.

Theres nothing more to it. Thats all I do.

There is a slightly different method I use sometimes that works as well.

With your eyes closed, imagine you were looking at you finger out infront of your face. I dont mean actually visualise a finger but just move your eye's focus to where it would be if you were looking at one. Now slowly bring it towards you while keeping focus on it. When it gets to your face keep going! Move it into your head a couple of inches and keep your focus on it. I know you eyes physical focus wont actually be at that point but just go with it. What this does is shift your attention from your physical eyes to your minds eye.

The previous method was to hold your attention on your physical sight(or rather the lack of) while ignoring the non-physical, just waiting it out until the physical switched off. This method is the other way round - you ignore the physical. This is what you're doing when you use the visualisation method of phasing but in this instance we're just noticing while holding our attention on our minds eye.

Just like before, hold your attention here when you start to see stuff. I find I can recognise what I'm seeing much earlier with this method and it's a lot less distracting on my physical eyes.

Except for one capricorn, all the real friends I've had have either been aries or gemini.

I'd never thought about that until now.

I'm a taurus.

I used to have the same sp problems as you. I link it to the insomnia I had and my messed up sleeping pattern at the time.

If you have a messed up sleeping pattern sort it out. Get up early at the exact same time every day and go to bed at the exact same time every night, early enough to get a good nights sleep.

I reckon (in my case anyway) that it might come from a from having had a bio-rhythm that was out of whack. Like the irregular sleeping pattern was making my brain produce the wrong chemicals at the wrong times.

You could also try affirmations before you go to bed at night. A couple of minutes of deep slow breathing while mentally repeating, "deep undisturbed sleep".

A facinating read Yuri.

Do you have any sort of journal on-line somewhere?

What do you mean by making your third chakra become your fourth? I'm curious.

Dont you start to see anything when your eyes go into REM?

I have no experience of healing.

Would you mind giving some pointers on how to go about self healing in the astral.
