i'm a firm believer in the "shadow self" and it's influence on our lives.  the shadow self being a collective of repressed aspects of ourselves that we don't care to face.  But it's much more than that, it is the innate source of creativity and imagination (perhaps linked with the sacral chakra).  The shadow heavily influences our perception of the world, to the point where we "hate" the qualities of the world that we repress in ourselves, usually unknowingly.  This shadow self is also the "fractured soul" that is sought out and put back together by shamans in their journeys.  Point being, in my opinion, it's often times an unruly shadow self that causes these "problems" that people so often attribute to discarnate entities bent on mayhem.

Every being is allowed PUL, even the lowest ones.

Doesn't mean it's good for anything.  What you're really doing is pushing emotional energy on another being with the expressed intent of manipulating their will.  How does that make your purpose any better than theirs?  Are you that sure that your sense of morality and ethics is that righteous?

welcome.

notice that the last post was in 2004, 7 years ago, this is kind of just a reference now.  no need to drag up old threads.

lol, i'm kidding, post wherever you want.  but i wouldn't expect any of the original posters to respond, most of them have long since left the pulse.  so just start a new thread, a fresh start.

no.  i work at a metaphysical bookshop, so i help my customers.  it's partially for sales, they buy the supplies they would need for such a job.  however, quite often i find a way for them to do it without having to buy anything because i refuse to use my counseling to boost sales, it's just not what i'm about.  but, i will offer any advice i may have that could help here on the forums.  just PM me and i can try to help, at least tell you what i'd do.

it's ok, i'm just poking fun at you.  i'm sure i've done the same over the years.

all the hippy dippy new agers have forced the notion of "love and light" on us.  but you just said it snake, it makes YOU happy when others are happy.  caring about the wellbeing of others is just as selfish as what razputin believes.  you're no better.

Subquantum Kinetics, that's where the answers are.

Quantum physics is practical, but it won't answer the mysteries.

that's at least the 3rd time i've seen you post about that website...

"The Oversoul" is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, first published in 1841. The broad subject of the essay, one of Emerson's best, is the human soul. Several general themes are treated: (1) the existence and nature of the human soul; (2) the relationship between the soul and the personal ego; (3) the relationship of one human soul to another; and (4) the relationship of the human soul to God. Influence of Eastern religions, including Vedantism, is plainly evident, but the essay also develops ideas long present in the Western tradition, e.g., in the works of Plato, Plotinus, and Emmanuel Swedenborg.

The essay attempts no systematic doctrine, but rather serves as a work of art, something like poetry. Its virtue is in personal insights of the author and the lofty manner of their presentation. Emerson wishes to exhort and direct the reader to an awakening of similar thoughts or sentiments.

With respect to the four themes listed above, the essay presents the following views: (1) the human soul is immortal, and immensely vast and beautiful; (2) our conscious ego is slight and limited in comparison to the soul, despite the fact that we habitually mistake our ego for our true self; (3) at some level, the souls of all people are connected, though the precise manner and degree of this connection is not spelled out; and (4) the essay does not seem to explicitly contradict the traditional Western idea that the soul is created by and has an identity different from God.

is that your website?  cause you seem to be pushing it pretty hard.

neat.

The Secret is a popular new age self-help type of thing.  The essence is presented by Deepak Chopra in the Seven Spiritual Laws of success.  There are also some authors who devote books to the subject, and did long before the secret came out.  But it's not new.

I do too, but actually practicing it is a different story.  It is SOOOOOO hard to not put a value judgment on emotion.  We just always seem to think that "positive" emotions are good and "negative" emotions are bad.  I've found that if I look at positive and negative as adding and removing, things go more smoothly.  So a negative emotion is an energy associated with the removal of something, whereas a positive emotion would be associated with attracting something, just like in magical ritual and phases of the moon (new to full attracts, full to new repels).

I've always been skeptical of ghost stories and on the whole i don't believe in ghosts (as in dead people), astral beings are a different story (human or otherwise).  however, i was offered an opportunity to go ghost hunting with my boss and some other people not too long ago and I had some very strange experiences that I can't explain by natural means.  so who knows.

i think it's important to understand that from the perspective of the physical body, with it's societal constructs and expectations, energy sensations and projection are very unusual, unknown and down right scary.  i felt many intense sensations when i was starting out, many times i thought i would be sick.  but it time, it passed.  i don't know how you all feel about it, but it seems to me that carrying crystals (quartz is fine) helped acclimate me to the new sensations. 

I think it's kind of idealistic, but it's more than just knowing when people are sympathetic to "the cause".  it's almost like we're spiritual warriors in deep cover and we have a secret nonphysical signal that lets us know how many of us are there.  like i said, a bit new agey and idealistic, but I can't argue with how I feel.  i just wrote a long post about emotional experience (which I believe to be the source of 'intuition') and i feel like there is this archetypal emotional memory that all people "like us" have buried deep inside.  we may not know what it is or where it came from, but it alerts us to matters of the soul and it always sings when i meet a person that "really gets the big picture" (whatever that means).

hate, like all emotions, are physical constructs for the sole purpose of emotional memory.  it's a tool for survival of the physical body.  i don't believe that emotion is a spiritual quality that is experienced in a fashion similar to physical reality when one is not in physical reality.  so the real trick (which i believe that the buddhists taught us) is to be able to observe an emotion objectively, as a bookmark.  When you avoid getting "sucked in" to the emotion you are able to make a conscious connection between the real world scenario and the emotion that is representing it.  The next step then is to use these emotional bookmarks in a practical manner, which is the essence of magical ritual.  On a more grounded level, these bookmarks inform our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system how to handle a given situation.  This is, at it's most basic level, common to all life on earth.  Humans, with our heightened ability for introspection, have the ability to take these emotional bookmarks a step further and apply the energy associated with a particular memory to a real world scenario in order to effect the outcome so that it is congruous with our intent or will.  This is especially of interest to LDs and OBEs because often times the unusual symbolism we encounter in these states are meant to be emotional representations of a scenario we've encountered before.  When the emotionless 'subtle body' encounters a unique situation that data is transmitted back to the body with the consciousness.  In order to make "physical sense" of the scenario, our mind searches the emotional memories/bookmarks for something that is as similar as possible and interprets this new data through that perceptual filter which results in seemingly illogical symbolism.  I also believe that these emotional memories are stored in the body as sensation or energy movement.  So when you're doing your energy work practice, you're actually moving around emotional memories. 

There are some great books on the subject, though dots have to be connected.  One of the ones that influenced me the most was a book written by a guy named Lawrence Gonzales, called "Deep Survival".  It's not in any way metaphysical.  It's actually about how our body/mind/brain reacts in survival situations.  Another good one is Malcolm Gladwell and his series of books, particularly Blink, which explains how our body makes decisions in the blink of an eye, before our conscious mind is even aware of the choices available. 

So, no emotion is inherently good or bad (though I'm not necessarily disputing that these emotional memories aren't represented as vibration of some kind of energy), it's what people do with it that makes it healthy or unhealthy, ie how much they identify themselves by their emotional state, which unfortunately seems to be how most people handle emotion.

I don't often feel like I've met people before, but I can spot "someone like me" a mile away.  There is definitely some kind of subtle/psychic connection or 'red flag' that we pick up on in eachother when we are open to accept it.  Though I do believe that we meet the people that we meet for a reason.  I don't think that any significant person in my life was an accidental encounter, there always seems to be a reason, though usually in hindsight.

I feel like more people should be commenting on this. These files are mind-blowing hahaha.

It's old news to conspiracy buffs and remote viewers (and by extension OBEers).  SRI (stanford research institute) started remote viewing work for the CIA in the 70s and the CIA and other intelligence groups began their own research soon after.  These programs lasted for decades, so obviously they believe it.  Though some people say that these programs were more about remote influencing (mind control from the OOB state) than remote viewing. 

I feel you OP.  It's a level of clarity that I think is rarely achieved by your garden variety projector.  A level of consciousness that is difficult to explain or understand in normal waking reality.

The leg thing is odd.  The initial assumption is that you're not prepared to project, but you're not talking about a normal exit problem.  I have had my legs be the only part of me that raised out, but that is just energy sensation while practicing, there is no separation happening (energy sensations can make you feel like you're expanding).  I really can't speak to what you're describing.

What if the Mayan "scribe" whose job it was to keep track of the calendar simply got writer's cramp--I mean, perhaps he just quit writing, and it happened to be on the year 2012.  Maybe we are over-thinking the significance of this date.  Also, did not the Mayans practice ritual human sacrifice to "appease" their gods?  Somehow, it doesn't seem to fit the bill of an advanced civilization, at least not in my book.   

The "new" mayans did, we don't know about what the original Mayans did.  Some people believe that the original mayan civilization wasn't even the same race and modern mayans or 'indians' (the indigenous people of mexico, central and south america).  It was the Aztecs who were really into human sacrifice.  Some authors even propose that the original mayan people were not of this world.

good call Kurt.

i think it is also a distinct possibility that lots of these fakes are intentionally put out there for disinformation to discredit the legit ones.

I think Robert Bruce wants desperately to be the new Monroe. 

That said, most of his work is quite good, albeit quite heavy on the mysticism (which doesn't really bother me, I like mysticism).

I echo Stookie on this one.  Whatever works for you is what you should do.  I wouldn't have achieved conscious exit without what I learned from RB.  Though I wouldn't have gotten out with ONLY RB either.

why would I love someone else as much as I love myself? I only experience my experience.

it's in our nature to be enthralled with ourselves.  why else would we be put in a situation where we could only perceive our experience.

it isn't in my nature to use and abuse people for my magical gain (but i don't fault you for it being in your nature and i don't believe your actions are wrong, just to clarify), but i agree with this statement.  it's not narcissism to love oneself more than others.  narcissism is a debilitating obsession with one's self.  i love myself immensely, i feel psychologically healthier for it.  i have confidence and i support every decision i make because i do it for a reason (even if i don't understand that reason at the time).

kaje,

all that you need is love in your heart and the intent to heal.

keep doing what you're doing, but do it because you want to help, not because you think it will make you grow spiritually (and i'm not saying that you are). 

don't let other people make you think you're not good enough, or that you don't know enough.  all that knowledge just narrows a person's perspective and traps them in their own mental prison.  the essence of effecting change is in your heart and your intent, not your intellect.  as soon as people start blathering about their dogma (new age, traditional or otherwise) just ignore them.  there is no universal truth, only your truth.
