no it isn't.  it's all mathematics.  seriously.  information is information, any other quality was assigned by humans. 

Well that was a fun read.  I feel dumber for having read it.

They're, most likely, a manifestation of a belief or fear you hold.  What that belief or fear might be is something you need to determine.

BORING!!!

maybe it's some kind of reality matrix.

i suppose it could be a self-imposed barrier of some sort.....(yes ryan, that is kind of your position)

it's more fun to think that you stumbled upon something profound.

I've been told that a week long event  can run up to multiple thousands of dollars (like $3000 - $4000 when you consider air fare and any room and board that might be necessary).

If you make out this way, rent a car and drive 45minutes east to Richmond and come visit me at my metaphysical bookshop.

good work, keep at it. 

welcome to the pulse.

lol.

passive aggressive city.

That's the hard part about noticing great changes in reality.  Even if something were changing exceedingly fast in geological terms, it's still usually taking longer than one generation.  Either way, we have only been alive for this generation, we have no frame of reference by which to compare the rate of "changes" or even the "changes" themselves. 

I find concave scrying mirrors facilitate trance induction quite well.  Convex mirrors on the other hand (which would be an obsidian crystal ball in most cases) make focusing more difficult for me.  Don't know why.

A customer/friend of mine at work (who is a very powerful magical practitioner) has burned his foot by meditating on a candle.  He focused so intently and singularly on the candle flame that a 2nd degree burn actually manifested on his foot.  I saw the burn with my own eyes.  Some people may not believe him, but I trust him.  He has showed me on numerous occasions that he is not only powerful (I have seen him "cloudburst" with his mind and I can feel him walking up the block when he comes to my store, his will is so strong that I know he's coming when he's still 2+ blocks away, though that might be saying more about me than him).

CFT, a 'record keeper' is a type of quartz that has little triangles like etched into the faces.  It grows naturally like that.  Record Keeper is just the name given to the type.



That's a record keeper.

It's like a Phantom Quartz.  The Phantom Quartz is so named because you can see "phantom" copies of the crystal inside of it.  They were formed when a layer of dirt/dust accumulated on the top of the crystal and then more layers grow over top of it.

I guess the triangles are supposed to "signify a record kept"?  lol.


Simo, crystals store information, it's what they do.  We wouldn't have computers without crystals.  The memory in a computer uses silicon (a crystal) to store it's information.  So, in metaphysics, the idea is the same.  You can store and "intent" in a stone and program the stone to act in accordance with the intent. 

because, why not?

That technique is essentially the Lucidology (saltcube) method.  It's a common and effective method, so indeed keep it up.  If you look on youtube for lucidology 101 or saltcube you can find a video presentation of the same technique. 

I feel the vibes as more of a light buzzing, but it only happens when I'm actually in the process of separating so I don't know that it is the same kind of vibrations other's experience.  Mine aren't loud, earth shaking events.  It's more like my whole body 'went to sleep' and is tingly, like when your foot goes to sleep.  I have always believed it to be what happens during the transition between physical and nonphysical when there are no concrete stimuli for the brain to interpret.  Instead, the brain encounters pure potential and we perceive that as buzzing or vibrating.  I may be wrong, it's just an idea.

i totally echo the sentiment of the others.

i think that a commonly overlooked fact is that people who are impeccable meditators can project fairly easily, it just requires a particular focus of attention.  i think you're already quite ahead of most of us in that regard.

yea, i was under the impression that it was just a possession/haunting/ghost story.

Some believe that it is a potential 'baseline' existence.  That potential oscillates between potential-reality, and actual-reality.  That, in fact, at the quantum level, it is absolute, 'zero point', or, the total summation of space-time-energy.  So our perception of reality is what we expect it to be, based on our beliefs and focal / attention as we exist.  When we die to one frequency of signature signals, we are born into another.  So in meditation, when they teach you to stop your thoughts and focus on 'no-thing', you are actually building potential to exist.  If you concentrate that potential, it becomes closer to the zero point, which is, 'infinite density of space-time-energy'.  That's part of how, I believe, you can eventually teleport.  You concentrate your life force until it is absolute inside of you, and reality shifts accordingly.  To create a physical object, consider that actual-reality is not what we are currently experiencing.  Night and Day, wake and sleep. part of why we sleep to recharge.  If we can gain infinite density of spacetime in ourselves, we prolly become our own Universe, and go through the processes of guiding the creation and incarnating to experience life and death and rebirth as a god.
Consider, please, that 'space density' does in fact mean that there is more space on the inside, like a pocket of reality.  When you concentrate space, time, and energy, you create your internal reality, and worm holes and rifts can be accessed, also, astral projection.  To create in the physical?  Perhaps it requires stronger or more concentrated energy, the gravity and flux required to phase the signals until they become the desired object.  Could be a simple release or summoning out of the Absolute (essence) of all things.

This is a part of my reality paradigm that I've been working on for a while.  When the buddhists say that all is illusion this is what is meant.  It's not just that we alter the quality of something because of our beliefs and preconceptions, but rather the object exists solely because of our beliefs.  If we had no beliefs or expectations, we would see the absolute potential of un-collapsed waveforms, pure abstraction.  These beliefs are represented energetically as what I call a "reality bubble", which essentially extends out as far as our sensory organs can detect.  Once a photon enters the "sphere of influence" it is warped and twisted back around to basically paint a picture of reality on the inside of our respective bubble, thereby creating "reality" or the illusion of one.

[wonder how radiation affects one that is out of body?]

i would visit charnoble if i could do that, wonder how radiation affects one that is out of body? do you think you could bring back some of the radiaton, could you absorb it since it is a type of energy? has anyone done that?

radiation and OBE.

radiation effects physical reality, not the nonphysical reality where an OBE takes place.  basically, you have no body to absorb radiation when you're out of body. 


note: I have been reading some interesting things about radiation being a primarily nonphysical phenomenon.  I don't recall the details at the moment, but I think it was in a Joseph P. Farrell book about antigravity, though it could have been Paul LaVoilette.

It's probably caused by everything, which is turn is caused by everything else and so on.  I doubt that there is an identifiable initial condition.  It probably happens to you all the time and you just don't notice it normally.  I know that it happens to me a lot but I didn't notice it until I started trying to project.  After that I noticed it during normal waking hours sometimes, because I was paying attention.  But, over time, the more I practiced, the less of a problem it became.  Now I can pretty much ignore it.  Quite honestly, it's good practice to teach you to ignore distracting stimuli.  Like Robert Bruce says, you should get in the habit of practicing projection in the presence of disruptive stimuli in order to strengthen your concentration ability.

The reason I say impossible is because our awareness is crazy attached to our body and perception through the body.  So, without a VERY disciplined mind and impeccable understanding of how consciousness works and how it works relative to the body, I don't think that someone could permanently detach from their body (die).  Perhaps there could be an obscure possibility of tricking your consciousness into believing that the body is not there, thereby killing it.  But I think that possibility is too minuscule to worry about. 

It happens.

You might try relaxing more or even taking an herbal supplement like Valerian Root or Kava (they can act as muscle relaxers).

welcome

nice contribution.

Impossible. 

I have never encountered an entity that I believe to have been separate from me.

When I say that these entities are a part of the person's mind, there are two reasons.

1) Whether or not it is true, it puts people's minds at ease enough to help them get over the fear and project.
2) I think that in a lot of these experiences, people haven't made it past their own subconscious (rather than to the greater astral reality).

All of that aside, from my experiences in the non-physical and physical, I am more likely to believe that reality is an immensely populated place and entities exist in all different forms and temperaments.

I have had that feeling before.  I give you 99% certainty that you WILL NOT stop breathing (barring some freak coincidence).

I know it ruins the whole trance, so the best suggestion I have is just to start again.  If you can't sit there and start over, then next time.  But if you just keep going, it will eventually stop.

Lookup Christo-paganism.

There are quite a few good pagan forums that house a christian paganism section.

this forum is a good start
