Hi Lost Raiden,

Just letting you know that you are very welcome to the forum. Good to see you settling in already, as I can see that you have started to join in by making a few other posts. I am sure you will make some new friends here and have your questions answered before you know it.

Kind wishes,

Dear FistOfFury,

I am deeply sorry to hear about the awful plight of your sister-in-law and the worry her family have to endure. It must be a really difficult time for you all. I just wanted you to know that she will be in my prayers in wishing her home safe.

Kind regards,


Stephen []

Hey all, who else gets the litte spiders on your face thing and what feels like cobwebs on your face.

I have had it like 23 hours a day for a while now and generaly ignore it, to start with it drove me mad!! im so used to it now I  almost forget its there. It some times comes with some third eye pressure like some ones gently pressing or tickiling my brow chackra. And occaisionly a faint ringing in one ear.

The reason I bring it up is ive always pressumed its spirit trying to communicate with me, because if I can be botherd, Which I have to be honest isnt very often [)] I can close my eyes and get visual communication.

Then a medium said to me the other day "oh yeah thats spirit developing you".  Do Spirit develop you in that manner? any one know?  

Hi M K,

Glad you raised that one... It's very difficult at times to differentiate between feelings like energy movements, and or with sensations related to spirit contact. Obviously you take time to think and consider the potential differences etc. From reading some of your posts I assume you have had some experience of circle work etc.

The cobweb thing bugged me (awful pun) for some time, but on the whole I am pretty comfortable that it is on the whole related to ones raised awareness of the network of energy pathways around the face etc. I've seen many an old dear go 'oh its spirit' (ugghhh), but as you know spirit may be there as well. Certainly they may be attracted to your raised or expanded state of awareness and energy.

In terms of spirit working with one development – why not, but not all the time for god' sake! With the imagery concern – again use your own personal judgement. You know how as we move into the trance states (generally) that hypnagogic imagery can often rise up from the mind. With this one the same theory applies! So be discerning and seek confirmation until you are happy that it is your own mind stuff or that given by spirit.

Sorry if this sounds pedantic.

All the best,

S []

Take your point, but don't think that is where the thread was going in terms of a US Empire etc. DO you really feel that passionately about your nation?

I feel that the British for instance are not particularly jingoistic and seem more focused on regional identity unless rallied very deeply by political manipulation. But then the UK is remnant of a faded Empire after all. However there has been a recent positing of the English identity with respect to sport and a lot of flag waving going on etc. Hopefully harmless!

Hi stephen, and thank you for your warm welcome.  Though I'm introspective by nature, I've never truly given my dreams much thought as I seldom remember but small pieces of what I can only presume is a larger puzzle.  I consider myself a mere neophyte, and feel hesitant to comment on other's dream for that reason.  I can't seem to shake the feeling of being so "off balance" after having such an intense dream that was such a close reflection of a reality that was unknown to me.  I feel completely out of my element, though I acknowledge that this is often where the most personal growth takes place.  

Best regards,

I regard myself as a beginner with serious dream work, but have found it useful in understanding some aspects of my own mind. I personally appreciate that precognitive like dreams can be highly unsettling, but they can sometimes simply indicate an inner need to explore oneself in greater depth and appreciate the reality beyond the box!

Put it an other way - would you have bothered to browse a forum like this without having had say similar experiences to the one you related for example. I appreciate you may have other interests along these or associated lines, and hopefully something on this forum will reflect back some of the answers that may have been percolating or fermenting in you already in terms of lay the road for your personal growth. Pardon me as I am being a little speculative here!

Again you are welcome to the forum and enjoy your explorations here. If interested in learning more about Astral Projection – do take time to review the articles and tutorials on the main site.

All the best,


Stephen

Hi there Yoko,

1st of all a big welcome to the forum

I appreciate there is a whole lot here to take in. If you have just started with NEW it is really no worth worrying too much about expecting mammoth results straight away.

Personally I have been working with it off and on for several years – taking some really big breaks from my practice at times.

With respect to robertk4you's post – we can't all be so dedicated and obviously he has his own opinion. My feeling is that each of us works according to our own needs. So there is no reason to feel guilty about not practicing as regularly and with the same level of dedication as other people. You know the expression 'Rome was not built in a day'

So don't you feel that long term practice, study and reflection will derive in far big bigger gains than a 'get it quick' attitude. You will have to trust me on that one ok!

By the way your chakras will not get worse if not worked on. All that is happens is that as you leave energy work to one side – your heightened sense of sensitivity calms down, which is really very normal.

I am not sure what you mean by counteracting the feelings after practice, but suspect that you had lots of energy rush sensations or similar. But in a way you have given your own answer when you stop practicing for periods etc.

Just remember that you do what suits your needs and how you feel about time given to practice. Just remember any work done will always stand one in good stead.

So very well done for making such an effort – it can only get better.  

Hope that answers your questions a little bit anyway.

Kind wishes,



Stephen []    

Hi Tenzin,

Sincere thanks for sharing your personal experiences on the forum. I suspect that you are someone who will be able to make a great contribution no only by offering personal insight, but by being able to offer meaningful answers to other people's questions.

I know exactly what you mean about bringing relationship to closure via the medium of ones own dream work, and clearly you have put extraordinary thought to this yourself as per your introductorily posting.

You are most welcome to the forum indeed. Be free to browse and interact not only on the forum, but also do take advantage of the main site as well.

Kind wishes,


Stephen []

I have seen Virtue on 2 occasions.  She seems to contradict herself so this is where the confusion may be coming from.  In her talks, she talks about many different things that compose the Aura.  For example, if you do not like your job, you will have yellow in your aura.  If you have a silver aura, you are pregnant.  If you have a rainbow colored aura, you are a spiritual master or a Reiki master.  I remembered this because at the time, I did not have a job, and someone told me I had yellow in my aura which seemed odd because I was not working.  I was pregnant and I was a Reiki master... go figure. I have also had an auric reading (I have a computer print out of it somewhere) and have been told that one side (right or left) represents your inner personality and the other side of the auric body represents the outer personality (the side you show.) Both my inside and outside were blue which kept changing from blue to indigo to violet (within a second) which meant that what I express on the outside is what I feel on the inside and it also meant that it was everchanging.  Also, different chakras will give off different colors which mix with the overall auric body, creating an everchanging kalidescope of color.  The blues in my auric reading were arond my head... however, other parts of my body were aqua, yellow and other colors.

This is why the term seems a little unclear.

Hi Kerri,

I am not quite sure why Ms V may have come across as contradicting herself. I can only suspect that at the time she may have been applying spiritualist type interpretations and methods without explaining how she works. But a little understanding in part of how mediums can work with colour might shed some light on the matter!

Appreciate that we are going a little off subject, and probably warrants a separate thread all together: -

As you know RB deals with clairvoyant aura work splendidly in his article - Training To See Auras. www.astralpulse.com/guides/guides.htm

The ability to read auras is a massive subject on its own. In my understanding each psychic or medium will have an ever developing mind map for colour interpretation. Also as an auric reading is only a snapshot: as it is constantly changing with certain colours predominating, and having variation in intensity, hue and tonal quality. Likewise the the aura will move in line with our mood and energy levels throughout the day, and as you know more significant shifts appear over the long term with our changing health, age, personal & spiritual development etc.

Note that one does not have to see colour clairvoyantly to practice a colour reading. You may have heard of auragraphs for instance.

The very idea of colour(s) associated with the sitter can be sensed by the reader and intuitively interpreted. In fact a full reading can be produced from just one colour believe it or not! The reason for this is that the colour(s) is/are associated with the sitter. Therefore the reader should be able to work with their clairsentience (feeling) just as effectively as a clairvoyant (seeing) with their gift.

As you can imagine this takes a lot of practice and hard work to perfect, and this type of technique is frequently used as a training exercise for aspiring psychics/mediums.

The reader might perceive by whatever means a colours associated with the sitter's aura. If working well they will have been attuning with predominant colours and their energetic signatures on a variety of levels. Similarly secondary colours can be read as well to provide a more refined reading etc. On a very basic level they should be able to provide one with meaningful information in terms of where one is at the moment as per your own case. If however you presented to a reader at another time, obviously other colours may well shine forth and would reflect where you are at that time!

In addition one should be prepared to be flexible with interpretation: as for example a particular tone of say yellow might mean different things for different sitters. E.g. you might be attuning with a health aspect with one person when say reading yellow, but with another person the yellow might have spiritual connotations. Obviously you can probe deeper into each colour and gleam more refined detail/info etc.

The thing here as always is to be discerning and be guided by ones intuition at any particular time. There are far too many irresponsible readers out there and care needs to be taken in providing a quality interpretation and etc. Good examples of where readers can go wrong include: woeful misunderstanding concerning say shades of the colours red & black/Grey for obvious reasons etc. Need I say more?

Personally I do not buy into electronically produced aura images, as I feel that the application of the physics here is flawed and only produces at best a poor facsimile to a personally produced Aura-graph. However I am open to the idea that technology may at sometime in the future catch up with the human instrument! But I can understand how a psychic or sensitive may be able to interpret the images produced by these contraptions.

Although I hope that I do not sound ambivalent by adding: the reason for this is simple, as even if the image colours do not marry up with the actual aura the picture does actually have a relationship to the individual to a certain degree. This is akin to the association one has with say a portrait photograph. So with this understanding the psychic could psychometrise the image and pick up on the colours associated with the subject and therefore carry out an aura reading or sorts. Does this make sense now?

Obviously an ever evolving colour model or map has been presented to marry up with the Indigos etc. One could choose that as a basis for their own interpretation, or choose part of it or develop a completely different map altogether.

So in closing one might begin to see how Ms V has applied her thinking to the Indigo equation: as she may well have developed part of her colour map to help her understand certain aspects of incarnating spirit and their potentials etc. It is up to you to decide whether to buy or not to the Indigo/Crystal/Rainbow model and at whatever level.

Personally I feel with this line of new age thinking that: as long as one maintains a grounded and common sense approach the colour relationship with the Indigo equation is not a bad thing to consider in the overall scheme of things.  

In multi-hued light,


Stephen []

Kerri,

Can I echo Kazbadan's condolences please.

May kind thoughts be with you and yours at this difficult time,

Ask your doctor to hook your arm to a TENS machine and turn the power up until you feel a definite continuous or pulsing tingling.
Now subtract the muscle contractions and you have a pretty good idea of what it may] feel like to you.

Hi Rob,

You are very welcome to the forum.

The famous vibrations - never quite heard them explained in relation to using vibrator (different ho hum)!

If you don't already have a copy of Astral Dynamics or similar, take time to read Robert Bruce's spin (forgive the pun) on the subject in his 'Treatise On OOBE' - Part 8 where he discussed the vibrations etc in detail:

http://www.astralpulse.com/guides/oobe/oobe_8.htm#2

Bruce describes them as been a symptom that is felt by the body, but explains that no detectible vibrations can be found.

Personally I am more used to spontaneous projection, and had found the famous vibrations to be less severe than had during conscious exit OBE. Then later during actual practice work I experienced very strong symptoms before being aware of actually going OBE. This is often followed by spinning sensations – likened to the spinners (if one is fool enough to get exceptionally drunk - hense the expression spun out) but many many, times more strong than that. The spinners are sometimes accompanied by a visual/physical like awareness of been in something vortex like, and again intensity and period for me anyway seem to vary.

Perhaps a key indicator rather than 'keystone' as you may have an OBE without noticeable perception of strong energy sensations etc.

I at first found the onset of energy surges and vibrations gradual - with them building up in intensity, although the OBE seemed to best occur when one just lets it happen – provided you have got to this stage anyway. In other words all the will effort seems to go to getting to this stage in the 1st instance. After that it becomes easier, and during later practice found the sensations less intense and occurring over a shorter (perceived) time frame.

Although some of the more experienced OBEers may want to add something to this observation.

Hope this helps,


Stephen

That looks like a good example of who 'Indigo Children' might be.

Different and appreciated (honestly)....

Please do take personal offence with me placing the link below...

However I met this amazing gentleman a couple of years ago while on a workshop in the Welsh borders. I had hoped to offer him some support, but never got round to actually helping out (v guilty of that) regardless of personal circumstances...

Tony Budell and many others (some of you may know of him already) have done stalwart work with humanitarian aid over many years. During a timeout to watch a motor racing GP on TV and a sneaky quick smoke - he talked to me about his teams work with orphaned children in and around Chernobyl and the former Yugoslavia. He later showed me a picture photo album of the most beautiful children you could ever imagine (all orphans). Anyone who had chance to see them would have wept until kingdom come.

I for one think they were Indigo children indeed...

Sincere apologies for the Bambi like sentimentality in advance!

Hi Berserk Exodus,

You are very much welcome to the forum []

First of all congratulations on choosing to join this highly charged and atmospheric forum! With a name like Berserk Exodus will no doubt get plenty of attention tut-suite!

Looks like you are very close to full conscious projection. Personally I have never been able to use the rope technique very well, but climbing stairs and ladders seems to work little bit better for me somehow on the few recent OBE sojourns enjoyed. Anyhow my sad excuse is that my forte is more along the lines of Communications [)]

Good luck and look forward to seeing you join in the fun.

So as always over to the experts... (good ladies and gents)!

Absolutely brilliant [], and it must be a world record for flagrant over use of Smilies []...

I think this is talked about in Bruce's Aura article (minus the lucky part), or I remember reading it somewhere. I have never experienced it though.

Ah ha,

Aura viewing in subdued illumination was tested to great effect during the Buckland Hall course. Where the living naked upper torso of a Mr Ben Bruce was offered and made subject to the peering gaze of a hitherto innocent audience. Hope he does not mind me recanting this little story?

As it can be only be rekindled in the mind of distant recollection: nothing less than a hushed sigh of embarrassed delight arose from the lips of more than a few of the ladies present, and jealous muttered mumbling of 'must get rid off me beer gut' from nigh on all of the blokes!

P.S. For some reason not a single lady offered herself as a subject for Auric inspection during this particular experiment (sorry to say)! In the interest of parapsycholigical science and endeavour I still do not know quite why this was so, as it would only have been fair don't you think []!

Hey,

Well done... and doing better than myself at the moment. Should have your wings soon....

Indigo children - is this something connected to that James Twyman's sect?

Hi,

Good point and one I've thought about a fair bit!

I've met Twyman on several occasions and he is about as far from sectarian in mindset as one could imagine... Personally I do not agree with all of his ideas, but your point is a very valid one!

I raised the sect issue with him and am comfortable that his influence however messianic it might appear to be - would not constitute a classic top down controlling type sect.

As one should always be wary of dangerous sects and potential negative influences that can manifest... but then take a look at orthodox religion and think twice perhaps.

With respect to the Indigo question one thing bothers me a bit: in that I do have a concern with respect to the foisting onto the pubic stage of young gifted children by some over zealous parties. But that is another debate... so sorry for diverging!

Hi Odyssey,

I'm only a pretend one.... I'll leave the sensible responses to the real Indigos/Rainbow and crystals!

P.S. Actually a girlfrined took me to see a Ms Virtue talk recently.... Nice lady, Good energy there [^]. There is a movie on the circuit about Indigos by Stephen Simon and James Twyman see: www.indigothemovie.com

Lots on the net about Merkaba and the mysterious Drunvalo Melchizedek! See also Flower of Life and Spirit of Maat! Bob Frizell's book 'Nothing in theis book is true but it's exactly how things are' covers the basics, and is worth seeking out. Be prepared to spend big money if interested in going in courses. However I do know a few souls you have benifeted from spinning their merkabas... (ho hum)... Big respect for Ellie's work/site - its gone from strength ro strength over the yrs.
