cryo_boy, what exactly were you training to do?

I think it depends on how one views porn and allows it to effect them. I see nothing wrong with porn but I can see how one can be ill effected by it. But that has to do with the person more than the material.

Learn to be happy being alone. As soon as you reach a state of single utopia someone is bound to come along and screw it up.

On a related note, I had an experience indirectly with this. Someone I did not know at the time told me that she did this sort out of body thing to find someone for a friend of hers. This experience led her to me. Well it did not work out very well between the two of us so you may not want to put much faith in such a thing.

Instead of looking for just one person, share your love with those you do know. Planting the seeds of love will produce more love. You will have more rewarding relationships with more people, and some day maybe you will meet a "soulmate" but if you do not it does not matter because you will have many loving relationships. And if you do meet someone special, you will have developed yourself to be a loving and caring person for this person.

I personally do not believe in soulmates.

I am not sure what you are asking exactly. Are you wanting to know about shapeshifting on the astral or on the physical? On the astral your astral body is easily manipulated if you as wish. I am doing some research on this but cannot offer you much information right now.

I saw an episode of Unsolved Mysteries (I think that was the show) where this family had a ghost that "haunted" their house, but this ghost was helpful. He did not do dishes but he would close the windows if they were open and it started raining. He would do helpful things like that every now and then. Who knows if it is true, but it is a nice thought. I have heard of other such ocurrences but it is all just rumor.

For your situation I have two suggestions, either get off your lazy butt and do your own house cleaning (hey we all have to sometime []) or hire some other human to do it (if you pay well I will come and do it). I really do not see how one could say enslaving anyone or thing is ethical.

Is there any reason why you feel the need to believe in any kind of god?

I do not know if there is any kind of god. I figure if it is important to know, then when it is important I will know. I think that if such a thing should exist it is impossible for one manifested as a human to fully comprehend. So basicly to me, it does not matter. You could say that I am Agnostic when it comes to god/goddess/gods.

On the contrary, these people are anything but Christian if they are doing the very things the Christian religion is against.

That does not stop people from claiming to be Christains. Terrible things have been done throughout history by those claiming to be Christains and/or acting in the name of God, even though those things are clearly against what the Christain religion teaches.

You in no way have to be religious or have any beliefs of an afterlife, life beyond the physical, or really any beliefs at all. What you probably do need to have is a desire to project and be open to its possibility. Patience and practice are going to be a big plus as well.

Well I was about to agree with him too but I realized what happened in 2000. Maybe the vast majority of people really did not think that anything would happen. I know I didn't. But who knows.

It didn't work that way in 2000.

Verbal and written communication is so ... primitive. But what is one to do with the current limits of physical existence?

I think that is a big mystery. I have only ever heard people wonder the same thing as there has never been anything found to give an explanation as to its importance to the Mayans. It may be nothing more than just a natural cycle that they discovered.

Hi, Zark.

It is always best to start at the beginning, http://www.astralpulse.com/guides/guides.htm []

quote:Mountains are almost spiritual creations and you get a real "high" when you are alone on a mountain.

Maybe it is due to the thinner atmosphere and less oxygen that one experiences this high. Not to imply that it is not spiritual or the only reason, but do you think that this condition has such an effect upon a human, especially one not use to?

The foothills of the Appalachian Mountains is my home. I doubt I will ever leave. I have traveled South down to Florida, West to Colorado, Southwest to Texas, and many places inbetween. All places have their own beauty but this area is my special place. The Appalachian can hardly be considered big mountians when one has seen the likes of the Rockies. But I do not like the area because of the mountains but because of the forests. I love forests. I feel spiritual, at peace, at one there. There you are surrounded by life, pure, untame life. There is something special about entering a forest. It is like stepping into another world. You leave behind the world of man and enter Nature's realm.

There should be an International Masterbation Day where "EVERYONE IN THE WORLD W**KED TOGETHER AS ONE". It would be a good day. []

Fear me foolish humans. Before you decide to oppose my will, let me inform you that I have a Masters Degree in Probing Human Orifices. [}:)]

quote:DO NOT EXPERIMENT ON YOUR OWN. You can do harm to your body or make yourself very sick, even kill yourself.

I disagree with you on this, in part anyway. I was doing energy work before I ever knew what chi was. Since I have found out about it I have been doing it atleast once a week, though usually a lot more, for the past 6 years, more or less. I have never had an instructor. My only source of information has been from books, websites, forums, and what I think is most important my own experiments. I have never experienced any ill effects. I do not think that it is dangerous as long as you are smart about it. Just like physical exercise, do not push yourself too hard, too far, too fast and you should be fine. Go slow, go with what feels right. If something feels wrong then don't do it and seek out the advice of others from forums such as this. You know deep down what is best for you.

There is a lot of good information on chi (energy,ki,etc.) on these forums and the website. So for anyone interested do a little searching and you will be well rewarded.

Demons often work off of fear, so observe yourself closely and see how it works.

I am thinking it is better for some stranger that you will never meet and has no control over your life to do it than to fail a class, lose a job, not even get an interview, well you get the idea. Spelling is important in the real world and the more you practice the more likely you will do it when it counts. But I am not a great speller so I will not cast any stones.

Dweller on the Threshold - The first thing about any work such as AP, Lucid Dreaming,etc. requires you to overcome fear. If you fear you will not get very far. These demons are there to help you overcome your fears, so work on fear. Also, beyond the physical there can be some pretty strange looking things. Don't be so quick to judge something just because it looks different.

Reading about OBE/AP throughout the day and thinking about,pondering, going over it every chance I get throughout the day when I am wanting to project is probably a major part of the success I have had. I think you need to change your perspective on AP because it is not like playing Playstation where you can just turn it on for a few minutes whenever you feel like getting a little fix. Reading about everything you can get your hands on will help give you new ideas. With those ideas experiment to see what works best for you.

I know myself it is real, but I can not stop asking the question Is it really real?, because really, how do I know?

What is real?

If you cannot agree with someone, it is better to just agree to disagree than to continuously agruing in circles.

You need to practice stilling your mind throughout the day, not just when you are going to meditate. It will help you a lot if it is something you always do instead of just sometimes. Also, I strongly suggest you don't listen to music just for background noise. If you are not listening to music for the purpose of listening to the music then do not have it on. Get use to silence when you are doing something else. If you always have music playing and are use to hearing music, then your mind will start playing music when things are quiet because you are just not use to things being so quiet. This has really helped me.

After I saw the second movie I got a bad feeling about the last one. I can't believe they are cutting Saruman. I guess they have to make room for the love story and all the special effects they will be adding.

I think What Dreams May Come is a pretty good movie, but it is more about life after death. It still deals with what appears to be the astral. I think it is worth a watch if you have not seen it.

quote:are you serious!!!!, could fifteen minutes on the physical plane be a week on the astral. thats cool as heck or was that just an exageration.

Not in a projection, but I have had dreams where I have "lived" long periods of time of what appeared to be another life. I even had one dream where I lived out many many years, yet I only slept a few hours. So yes it is possible. Time on the physical and the astral are different. I don't think there is any actual time on the astral, only your perception of it.
