 Interesting conversation!  :-)

When I began creating my wire wrap Bonsai trees that I call "Crystal Amplifiers", I read a lot of material on the meaning of word "Bonsai" and how it plays such a big role in the Japanese culture. That soon led to the term "Wabi-Sabi". Wabi-Sabi is the Art of finding "perfection in the imperfect", the "elusive beauty of imperfection". That led me further to finding this fantastic article that talked about Wabi-Sabi as a way of living. It all made so much sense. I think you guys will enjoy it as well. Taking what you read about it and applying this to your lives makes life a lot less stressful!  :-)

If my Inner being really wants to get my attention I can still get what I call "the 747 vibrations" ( due to them feeling as though I am strapped to the under side of a 747, lol ).
I agree with Casey here. Yes, over time, the vibrations have basically, almost totally diminished. But, if they are deemed necessary to really jolt my conscious awareness into gear, they still can be and are still utilized by whomever, "inner Being" or "Other", that finds it important to initiate them.

 PhaPriSpa, you and Shineling must be hanging out in the wrong side of town or something.  :| :?

Perhaps you guys have never passed the 'Fear tests" there. I am not saying that to be smart. Everything in the NPR has a reason for it. Just like there is a reason for everything that happens in this physical realm as well. The good, bad and ugly all have lessons attached to them. I have been to the NPR countless times "consciously aware" and have learned to allow a scene to fully develop, so that I can get my bearings on what is what. Many times, what you may take to be a "neg", really isn't. Once you get your consciousness engaged you can see what is really happening. I have had many times where I didn't have my full attention there yet and because of it, the place looked pretty eerie. The problem is though that "fear" will automatically kick the fight or flight, thought=action into full gear and that's when "your thoughts" will run away from you.

Ask yourselves, "why do I keep getting these experiences"? We would love to hear the answer. That would really help others that are experiencing either the same or similar things.

On a side note. I have spoken before here about the passion and dedication of the groups that call themselves things like "Astral Demon Hunters". Many are avid Gamers and have no problem with their creative visualization skills. Their sole intent is to go into the NPRs and fight Demons. Because that is their intent, thought=action, they find Demons to fight everywhere there.

,,,and Shineling, those 5 guys might be the boyfriends of the girls you are constantly kissing in NPRs. Just saying, lol!  :-D

 Thank You Vincent. I have enjoyed your videos!  :-)

Hopefully you are sending your video viewers to the Astral Pulse forums too. We here at the Astral Pulse have quite a bit to share and offer as well.

Gosh, I don't know! If there is an extraterrestrial intelligence that monitors and modifies human DNA, they have some patience lol. Afterall, they let the dinosaurs roam for millions of years before the next level species were given the chance. I hope they don't let us thrive as we are so long lol.
The Dinosaurs were put here for a purpose. That being to "fertilize" the planet in preparedness for the next stage of this Earth School's development.

 "Mind refurbishing" makes sense. I said here once before in a past thread that the only way that we will get the "Etopia" or "New Earth" that so many people talk about is if our minds were totally erased so that we didn't remember this one. Otherwise, we would bring the same problems that we are still experiencing today. Our problems today are the same problems we have had throughout the lifespan of "Humanity". Greed, power, ego. They never have never gone away. They have just changed forms, as we have technically evolved.

Here in a past thread we also talked about a "Event". Something so big, so profound that it did open eyes and create positive change. When Covid first hit, I thought that may be the Event that I was sensing. But that sense or premonition never went away. If anything it is even stronger now today.

I failed miserably regarding smoking. I have all the willpower in the world, but i can't seem to crack this one. Is it then right to say
that i don't really want to? I don't think so. I don't know why i keep failing.
One time, i took a walk of approx. 17 miles, to a street called "Stopping avenue". When i got back,
totally exhausted, i managed to quit automatically for 4 days. And that was it. I am
not going around the world for this however.
I smoked for about 22 years. One time years ago I had a bad attack of Bronchitis. When it cleared up, I put the cigarettes down and never touched one again. I did it cold turkey, totally on willpower alone. Needless to say, I didn't make many friends because of that. People kind of snidely congratulated me. I had a number of people around me, both Family and friends that said they wanted to quit. My wife was one of them too. But rarely did they want to quit for themselves. Some wanted to quit for their Family or because they were tired of people alienating them because of their smoking habit. Because of this, they all failed.

  If you "really" want to quit "for you", you can. Once you decide that you are serious, there is no withdrawal symptom that will ever trump your focused will.

My whole life is nothing but stress, I am trapped in this life that I have living with a very toxic person and I cant even get out to find a job  to get my own place do to not having any thing to drive and I cant ride the bus cause I cant wear a mask cause I cant breath with them on the bus company says every month they are going to end the mask mandate and every month they do not.
Wow, there is a lot of negatives in that statement. Now, balance that with all the positives. Nobody ever said this life was going to be easy. Schools can often be challenging. The  words "trapped" and "can't" aren't going to get you far in life. You need to change those to "free" and "can".

Changing your mindset, changes your reality. Just remember that. Everyone goes through hardships in life. We are here to experience period and good, bad or ugly, they are all experiences. Most of our vital and most important lessons come through the bad and ugly stages though. That is when our light begins to shine brightly and breaks through all of the storms clouds and trust me, there are many storm clouds around right now. We will get through them all and come out stronger because of it.  :-)

 Maybe that is the problem. You depend too much on them and not enough on yourself. Like I said, they have a good reason for going mute. I take it this is a teaching moment!  :wink:

I have and I have never been so scared in my life my spirit guides are everything to me without them I nothing I have  been so very tired lately and my sex drive is so low I tried to go to a new age store to find out what was going on with me but that person was just a joke all she did was give me a crappy taro car reading and crappy pendent reading and said I had nothing wrong with me and sent me on my way has anyone else  had a similar experience like this ?
If you have lost connection to them, there is a good reason for it. Perhaps you have been so focused on the physical that you have lost your "bond" to anything else. Fear not though, I know a few people that have asked their Guides to take this lifetime off. In other words, they decided before they came to this physical realm, that they wanted to do it alone. Their Guides abided to their request and just took on a "watching/observing" mode instead of a hands-on approach. Just so you know though, those people are doing a great job on their own.

Sometimes it seems like we alone, but we never are. You just need to learn to hear them again!

Hi, please, could you help me to find the picture of Phasing Model? Thank you very much.
Mary
If you mean the "Phasing Model" according to "Frank Kepple", you can find it here. I found that by using the words "Phasing Model" in a Forum search above on the upper right-hand side of your page. There are a number of threads that have use that term in them.

 Here is a few pictures of my Crystal Beings, courtesy of Casey's techo-skills!  :-)

I call them Crystal Beings because they are created with Quartz Crystals and are they are just "being". I pose them in meditative/relaxing Yoga like positions.

Lu.. to post a photo you just have to host/upload it to say a website or photo(bucket type place, to get a URL, and then you click the "image" button here and insert the URL. If you do not have a place to host your photos I am happy to do so for you. Let me know if I can be of service.
Thank You Casey. I used to post photos on Photobucket. It was a free account. After a while I started getting emails from Photobucket saying time was up and that I had to pay. They also said they were not a "hosting" site either. I guess there was a number of people going to my site to look at my photos. Now when I post a link to the Photobucket site, it only shows my Folders from a few years back. It won't let me update anything. even though I am still putting photos on it now. So, yes, I do need a new way to post picture online. I have them all in my own Cloud on my computer and use that to share the photos, via attachments, in emails. But that doesn't work on a Forum like this. Could you please PM me that info. Thank You!  :-)

 I have been "prompted" to come at the beings in Crystals in a different way. I created what I call "Crystal Beings", so that people's attention is drawn to the being inside of the Crystal, but only when they are ready to see it. I know there is a living Entity/consciousness inside of every Quartz Crystal I work with. I wish I could show a picture here, but I don't know how to post one. There are a few people here that have some pictures of them. If they could help me post them here, I would be extremely thankful for that!   :-)

I can also sometimes see the room around me with my eyes closed.
Congratulations! That shows that you have already had a successful "OBE". At that point, you likely got shocked back into your physical focus again. It happens. The next time though, you need to control that excitement and allow your "curiosity" to take over. Just know though, that you are now in a state of "thought = action", so be careful of those first thoughts. This is when people usually find themselves in their first "fear test" or fear-based scenario. If you see the "Dweller of the Threshold", offer him a cookie. I hear he particularly enjoys the Chocolate Chip ones!  :wink:  :-)

I cant' say I have practised progressive relaxation regularly much myself.
There's your answer right there! I cant' say I have practised progressive relaxation regularly much myself. What does that say to you? Practice, practice, practice.

You don't need to use the progressive relaxation technique. There are tons of other techniques that you can experiment with. Some are based on utilizing your other senses.  The progressive relaxation tech is made to make you, well. as it says, "relaxed"!  :wink:

It's pretty hard to lose your physical body focus when your focus is locked onto your physical body's sensations. In other words. you need to find a way to relieve and release that physical tension, otherwise, you won't find much success with Astral Projection period. Your physical body will in turn inhibit your ability to release, simply, because you will stay locked on it or should I say "to it". Astral projection has to do with the ability of one to be able to release their physical focus long enough that they may experience another or "elsewhere". How you achieve that is up to you.

I have something called hypophantasia, which means that I have extreme difficulty in visualizing, and that when I do, the image only lasts for a couple of seconds, is almost completely transparent, and will disappear if I try to do anything particularly complicated. For example, I can visualize a blue ball, but ask me to visualize a man holding a blue ball and it just falls apart.

I have seen visions (some of which have already come true) while completely sober and wide awake, but they are nearly impossible for me to control or trigger. I can also sometimes see the room around me with my eyes closed.
I don't know about this Hypophantasia thing, but what you just described is how most people see things behind their closed eyes. Yes, it begins with an image of some sort.  The image then gets cloudy or fades away. But practice and patience will lead you to persevere. In the beginning most people lack any semblance of control as well. That too gets better with practice. Stay the course!

I have Trigeminal Neuralgia and it really spasms when I close my eyes to notice. The way I beat that was to learn how to turn off my physical eyes and use my "Mind's eye".

The Doorway technique you will find there shows you how to trick imagery into play. That occurs by the use of simple "mental associations" in combination with motion.

 My first "consciously aware" experience came as the result of the "imprint' left in my mind's eye while "candle staring". My next years of successful experiences came through a progressive relaxation process, which soon led to "hypnagogic imagery". That imagery soon took on a life of its own.

 Many people tend to think that the process of "progressive relaxation" has to be long and drawn out. It doesn't take long at all. Actually, it takes longer to write the steps down then it does to cycle through the entire progression process, lol!  :-)

...and like Lightbeam and EV said, add some "motion" to your focal target or creative imagery and you have a winning combination!  :-)

 Hl24, perusing through some of my favorite links from here that I saved in my "Favorites", I found this Gem here and immediately thought of you. I know that soon it will have a bearing on my own current situation as well.

The first link is to the thread I found it in. The other links found in the that thread are very good and resourceful as well.

 Hmm, who would have thought "progressive relaxation" combined with a bit of "creative visualization" would lead one to fall asleep in 2 minutes.  :-o :roll: :-D Now, if one could only keep their awareness during that time, then they could ..................................................................................... and we would have a real story here. Perhaps Tik Tok and the Military should teach that too, lol!  :-)

Showed me a painting on a wall. Suddenly I entered that painting.
Those always lead to awesome, fantastical adventures and experiences. I have written a few posts here on the Pulse, in the past, based on entering a wall paintings. I am pretty sure that was when I was using my former name on the Astral Pulse, that being "Lionheart". I remember one of them led to a kind of 3D Animated/Technicolor, kind of Cartoon world. It was surreal!  8-)

Thanks for sharing!  :-)
