Thanks for that. Hopefully I'll see some improvement for Kissy.

The problem with going to a class is that I'm deaf so it would be difficult for me to do something like that.

I can remember spontaneously starting to project in daylight once before, and I still had the fear but I think that had something to do with the fact that it was the first time it happened to me. Maybe if it happens again in daylight I'll try and stop the fear from taking over.

Thanks Jeff. This was the reason why I fought the projection this time - because the dream that I was having was negative. I'll try next time not to let the fear get the better of me.

Done!

I guess so, but then again, the child that is being shown the monster-free cupboard isn't on their own. It's usually a parent (or someone similarly close to the child) that shows the child. It's the same principle. I wish I could do it with someone there. I am sure that if someone was there with me, I wouldn't feel so afraid. As for working out what I'm afraid of, I've already pointed out what I'm afraid of.

I use Firefox, but it isn't perfect, however is is a massive improvement on IE 6 IMO.

Now, I have to plan meals, snacks, and whatever because of preparation time.

Sounds rather tedious to me. But that's just my opinion. If you enjoy that sort of thing then go for it.

You are right, if I WOULD be starving, but I am not, and I have a choice, so why should make animals suffer? It's your decision, what's more important for you...
And humans are NOT carnivores - we don't have claws, sharp teeth, etc. We even have digestion system designed to take nearly everything - meat, fruits, vegetables, etc. So we are omnivores, like apes . If this did not convince you, then feed a dog with an apple, and see how it will digest it. I am sure it will be funny  

LOL my cat loves apples and many other things. OK We're omivores. BTW you don't need to have claws and sharp teeth to be carnivores. I never actually said you was starving, just that if you were, then you wouldn't be so fussy.  Yes you have a choice, and so do I. Let's just leave it at that shall we?  

Well I will post the link on my website if that's OK?

Hi

My cat, Kissy is ill, I think she's dying. I woke up this evening with the feeling that something was not right. I sensed it was Kissy, feels like she's dying. I have heard a lot of spirit activity since I woke up, which doesn't sound too good, as the same thing happened when my Mum died.

Kissy has been putting on a lot of weight even though she doesn't eat a lot. She has also had bouts of diahorrea (sp?), which makes me think there's something wrong with her. This has been going on for months. The vet can't understand it.

Also she has two large scabs on her tail which has been there for months, the vet keeps saying they will go on their own. Well they haven't, and it's not right.

Also more recently she has injured her paw somehow, and she's limping very badly.

I am taking my other cat to the vet, while I'm there I'm going to ask about Kissy, and if they don't do something about it, I'll find another vet. That's if Kissy is still alive.

I'd like to ask for healing to help Kissy in whatever way possible. I've attached her photo.

Thank you.

Gemma

EDIT: Sorry the photo isn't very clear.

Because not everyone can handle living on just fruit/veg/soy. I ought to know, I was a veggie for 2 years, and it made me realise that I didn't enjoy living on that kind of diet. That's why I went back to meat. Actually, that's not the only reason. A few years ago I had severe problems with swallowing, and meat was difficult to swallow, so I ended up being a veggie for about 2 years because that was all I could eat. During these 2 years I craved for meat but I couldn't eat it because of my throat. When my swallowing problem cleared up eventually, that's when I went back to meat. I'd never want to be a veggie again because I didn't like many of the veggie dishes and I like meat. It's as simple as that. There's no reason whatsoever for not eating meat, it boils down to preference. As for nutrition, it's well known that a lot of veggies miss out on some vitamins and whatever, a lot of veggies who I personally know have to take some form of supplement. Now, not all veggies are like that, but it does happen. I would much rather eat what I eat than be a veggie who relies on supplements. The other fact is that humans are carnivores by nature. We're not herbivores by nature, being a veggie also boils down to preference. Believe you me, if you was starving, you wouldn't care what was put in front of you, you'd eat a flaming horse! That's my last word on the subject!

Aleshah, I know all that, but it's useless to me until I can project without being afraid.

Look, I would project in the daytime if it happened spontaneously. I don't like trying to project on purpose.

If you want to know why I'm too afraid,  here's the topic to look at: http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15085.

I don't eat meat for fun, I eat it because it's good for me. We all need proteins and other vitamins/minerals no matter how old we are. Meat doesn't just have proteins, it has other componds in it that are necessary. I'll post more information on it as soon as I get the chance to find out what other compounds there are in meat.

You've made another mistake, you've compared slaughtering animals to what the Nazis did. No one slaughters animals as part of their job for fun, they do it because it's necessary. The Nazis killed for fun, not because it was necessary. You see the difference?

Well I think somehow I have to get through this.

As for going into trance, I never try to project deliberately, it's alwys spontaneous. And I don't suffer with nightmares often unless I'm under stress.

G3MM4:
If you like eating chicken so much, then you should try killing chicken by yourself. When I was 8 years old I've seen my grandmother cutting off a head of chicken. It flapped it's wings for about 1 minute, although it's head was lying on ground already. Pig's death is even more cruel. This is the reason why I am a vegetarian. There are about 20 chickens on our farm, but they are here only for eggs.

I am aware of how cruel it can be, my grand dad used to castrate pigs as part of his job. He used to slaughter animals. My gran when she was a child would be made to skin rabbits daily for dinner. What you need to know is that my family was born and raised on farms and farming, including slaughter for generations. It is part of every day life for us. That's why it doesn't bother me, I'm used to it.

Also remember that you are not technically leaving your body, you are just being aware of your astral/real-time body and that you can revert awareness to your physical body instantly.

I know but then you're also aware of other things in the astral, that's part of my fear. I know thoughts equals action in the astral, and I'm afraid of facing my own fears if you get what I mean. I'll try your suggestions.

I've also had great problems with overcoming fear of OOBE/dreams, and even fear of darkness. The best thing that I've did is shielding the room(I've designed a good shielding method), that stopped the nightmares and entities scaring me when I have sleep paralysis/oobe.

I have a fear of the darkness too. I always have the light on at night, when I go to sleep, and I have the TV on as well. It's the only way I can sleep. What's your shielding method? I hope it's not too complicated. LOL. Another thing that scares me is the thought of seeing entities etc while I'm OOB, especially since I'm very sensitive to that sort of thing.

The other thing that scares me as well is the fact that I have no real control while attempting to go OOB, the paralyzation is the worse thing. That's when I really start to panic because by nature I'm a control freak, I have to have some form of control in any situation that I find myself in.

I know there was a topic on this ages ago but I can't seem to find it. So I'm starting another one about my fear of OBEs. I keep telling myself that nothing can hurt me, and there really isn't anything to be afraid of whilst OOB, but when it actually happens, I fight the whole thing because the fear just takes over. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the fear?

I don't really care which chicken it is, they all taste the same to me.  

I do understand where you're coming from, but I never want to project while I'm in a negative evironment. I'm fine if it happens in a neutral/positive evironment, but this time I really didn't want to. Having said that, if I astral project consciously, I always feel fear, although I don't know why. It's fine if it's an unconscious projection except for if it doesn't feel right.

Gee that was a weird experience I have just "woken" up from!

I went to bed this morning, after being totally unable to sleep at all last night. So, of course I slept until about four in the afternoon, when I woke up to go to the toilet and have something to eat then I went back to bed.

I didn't go back to sleep straight away, but I drifted off to sleep again when I had a weird dream about the world of addiction. I was with a friend of mine who looked after me as a teenager. I was looking for all the things I was addicted to, and she was talking to me.

All this time I really was aware of the fact that I was trying to go OOB. I woke up briefly feeling very very drowsy, and although I didn't have the pre-exit vibrations, I knew that I was starting the usual procedure for exiting. I could hear the "mystical" sounding music/sounds, I could feel energy going through my body, I found it very hard to move (not paralyzed, but going that way!), so every time my eyes shut, I literally had to force them open, trying to stop the pre-exit signs. I had to do this several times. Eventually I stopped doing this, and fell back into the dream.

I didn't want to go OOB because the dream had a very dark and negative tone to it (not suprising since it was about my addictions!).

In the dream, I still could feel the pre-exit signs, so I had some control in the dream. The dream carried on with me talking to my friend about my addictions and we were in a place that I recognised (not from real-life though), and I went into this small room that served as a toilet. I looked down at the floor, and I could see some writing. I could see the word "pain" daubed in blue paint. There were also other words daubed in blue paint, but the one that I noticed the most was the word "pain". While I was in this room, it occured to me that this room was full of traps, although I couldn't actually see any even though I was looking for them. So I got out of this room as fast as I could.

All this time, I was constantly fighting the pre-exit signs. My friend came up to me and said, "Do you like this?", holding out a tub of what looked like clotted cream. She scraped off a bit onto her finger for me to taste. I tasted, and replied, "I love this stuff!". She then told me it was nicotine. Now, I'm a smoker, and I'm obviously addicted to nicotine. I'm also a food addict. So it makes sense that the tub of clotted cream was in fact also nicotine. My friend mentioned some other people, who I don't recall now. She was talking about events and other things that had happened. At this point I was in her house, but it looked a bit different from what I knew in real-life. She said she had to go, but I was welcome to stay intil I was ready to go.

At some point, I woke up still feeling very drowsy, but thankfully the pre-exit signs had disappeared. The reason why I did not want to go OOB was because I knew I was in a very negative eviroment, and there was no way I was going OOB while I was in such a negative evironment, for fear of what other horrors I was going to come across. I just instinctively knew it was a bad idea to go OOB at this time. At some point, I even thought about flying upwards, but thought I couldn't because something made me stay in the dream. I knew that if I attempted to fly upwards, I would be OOB and I didn't want that. So I decided to keep fighting against the pre-exit signs and endure the dream, since the dream was only temporary. Now, I had some level of consciousness and control within the dream, even though it wasn't fully lucid. The clarity of what was happening wasn't that great, some bits of it was very vague, even though it all felt real to me.

If OT God and NT God would be the same entity, why it would not start to spread ideas of love from the beginning? You've said, that in OT people saw god as cruel. But from what I've read God manifested as cruel, and there is a difference.

Did you read about the vicar who preached that God was cruel etc, and when he had his NDE, that's who he saw, a cruel and harsh version of God? Then he went to ask God a question, and that's when God showed the loving and caring side of Himself? I think that answers your question.

I don't know a lot about the history of the Jewish. I don't have the answers for everything. But I do know that if you believe God to be harsh/cruel, then that is what you will percieve should you ever have a NDE or when you pass over. There's evidence relating to this.

Look within your heart. Do you really believe God to be harsh and cruel? Or do you believe Him to be loving and caring?

Sometimes God has to be cruel to be kind. The same goes for our parents. Do you recall any time when your parents seemed to be cruel, but in the long run, it turned out that their "cruel" actions were indeed the kindest thing they could have done for you? We are God's children. He's our Father. He's no different to any parent. Sometimes his "cruel" actions are necessary to our long term growth and wellbeing. He does this through His love for us.

I'll give you an example that relates to myself.

I was born with a severely twisted leg, it had no ankle, and both of my feet was severely deformed. I was also born profoundly deaf. Now, I could say "If God was a loving entity, then why did He create me in this way? Why did He do this to inflict suffering on me?". But I won't. It might seem cruel for this to happen to me, but in the long run, it's necessary for me to live my life as a person with multiple disabilities because it's good for my long term spiritual growth. It presents difficult lessons that I must learn. I don't think God was cruel to let me live my life with difficult circumstances because I know in the end I will come out of it more advanced, spiritually. What are the lesson I have to learn? Well, considering that I've learnt not to judge others by their status, race, sexuality, disability, colour etc, and I've learnt compassion, patience and more, so far, I've learnt so much in my short 22 years in this world. No doubt I'll have other harsh lessons to learn in my future, they will no doubt present themselves to me in their own time. But the point I'm trying to make is that God had me live my life in a deformed body because it will teach me lessons that are necessary for my spiritual growth and well being - and that is through love for me. Also, I don't believe that I was forced to undertake this challenge because I believe that I also had a say in what circumstances I had to live my life in.

I hope you can understand the points I'm trying to make.

Well you know God works in mysterious ways. Maybe that was the path for both Abraham and his son. You ask if it's cruel. Well many things in life are cruel, but they are there for people to learn from. We won't learn if things in life are easy will we? Mind you, it might appear that God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, but that depends on how you are reading the Bible. You need to remember that many things that were written in there aren't meant to be taken literally. A lot of things in the Bible are symbolic. I can't say for sure that the passage about Abraham sacrificing his son is symbolic or not, but do keep it in mind.

OK I'll do that. BTW about my email junk settings, I use BTinternet, and my spam settings on that are turned off because I use Outlook Express.

Hmmm. For some reason it is not working properly. I have checked my junk filters and it's not that that is causing problems. I've checked my Watched Topics, and my topics show up on there. The topic I'm referring to is "need information", which is the one I'm not getting notifications for, even when someone replies to it. I know this because I check back each day, and there have been replies which I wasn't notified about in the past.
