Hi Astral Pulse.

Not sure if anyone here remembers me, haven't been very active recently but I still check the new posts occasionally.

I wanted to tell you about a mobile game I've been working on. I developed it as part of my studies and I'm using it to conduct research. It's not directly related to astral projection but I would be thrilled if you check it out anyway. It's free and there are no ads.

You can get it here: http://jumprgame.com/

A guy in Thailand once told me that Pineapples are considered wise because they have many eyes. Maybe I should start eating more of those and hope to pick up some of the effect.

God, getting through all that cheese was a challenge.

There are a lot of things about the film I didn't like. The argumentation is often incomplete or simply doesn't make sense. There also seems to be a general lack of understanding of some core concepts, such as how the financial system works or why poverty exists (I'm pretty sure it's not due to a lack of free energy). As with most conspiracy theories the main motivation seems to be that the author simply cannot come to grips with some some kind of evil in the world and has to construct a system of bad guys who can be blamed for the problem.

Nevertheless it still raises some interesting points. I particularly liked the practical approach towards the end, with a bunch of suggestions on how to help (though I do question some of the methods). Also the production is surprisingly well done for this kind of a film (even if it's dreadfully tacky). The website is also worth mentioning, as it seems to be well designed and structured and full of complimentary material for further research (I haven't really browsed around much though, so I might be getting a wrong impression).

I'm very sceptical about these kinds of films (or theories in general) but I'm still glad they get made and published - even if the sole benefit is to get people thinking about the many issues that are mentioned - and this seems to be one of the better ones. Also it's great that it has been made available for free. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, that background track is really relaxing. I enjoyed it a lot. Not too keen on the looped suggestions though.

Your posts are always interesting even if I don't understand a lot of what you say.

Just to be fair comparing anything with the Quran, I would like to hear a man reciting something alone, without a chorus or music (I hope I don't sound overly restrictive, but that's how the Quran goes), and see how that feels :D

I'm not Catholic so not sure about this but I think this is usually part of traditional Catholic Mass. I came across this video in a quick search which has some Latin recitation. After flicking through it I found a part that starts around 12:50. The language is supposed to be Latin but the Man reciting seems to be French so it sounds... wrong. :P

The Hebrew hiearchy gets complicated. There is a "malekeh" which I think is the regular type messenger and then then a "Sar" which is a "spirit prince". There are others types too.

Interesting stuff. So basically if we pick two references to "angel" in an English translation they could actually be referring to different things?

Then we got the channeled beings talking about the Ascension and well be like gods. Only thing I found in scriptures is that we will become like angels in heaven but not like gods.

Sorry, if this is going off topic but regarding that thing you said about becoming Gods: Psalm 82 (around verse 6) says we are Gods. Jesus even quotes it in defence when the Jews get all worked up about him claiming to be the Son of God (John 10). Not sure what the Mormon stance on that is but the fundamentalist Christians I grew up with tend to squirm at those verses, inventing all kinds of creative explanations as to why the Bible should be understood literally, but not that bit.

This thread helped me find some amazing music. Thanks guys.

I would take care to avoid outright lying. Simply present yourself as having questions and the occasional doubt. This is usually acceptable to most families. Aggressive challenges only stir the pot to no productive end when dealing with fundamentalists. Especially when living under the roof of a parent.

Then quietly study the works of Sufi mystics like Jalal ud din Rumi, Shamuz i Tabriz, etc.

This is pretty much what I did. I was brought up in a fundamental Christian family but always asked a lot of questions. I gradually transitioned out of it though to the point I wouldn't call myself a Christian any more. There wasn't really a specific moment in which I revoked my faith and changed my ways. It was a bit awkward because sometimes I would feel I was living a lie. I wasn't sure if it was fair to go to church, letting others believe I was something I was not. At least not really. By now I have found a little more clarity in my beliefs (just a little) and I have made my position clear to some of my family members. I feel better now but I'm always careful not to be "in your face" with these matters. It's easier to be flexible from my perspective than it is from theirs so I try to be considerate.

Wow, smoking green tea? Never heard of that! How come it has a relaxing effect? Green tea has lots of caffeine in it.

I consider drinking coffee to be relaxing.

You can only fear that which you are not experiencing. So fear is always imaginary. When it becomes actualised it is suffering (or pain or whatever you want to call it). But fear can prevent suffering when it drives us. I might fear to miss the bus and decide not to water the plant but rather run off immediately to still get it. In that case my fear actually helped me avoid suffering. The way I see it, the main problem is when fear itself is experienced as or leads to suffering. If I'm too worried about missing the bus my concentration might drop, I might forget something at home because I'm in a hurry or I might trip as I run across the street. A little fear can be good sometimes though perhaps a different term would be appropriate for that. (Can't think of one right now.)

drink mostly milk and water

I find tea can make this interesting. I'm only just getting into it (I'm actually a coffee drinker) but there is so much variety, it can be really fun.

Hi,
So if you smoked esrl gray would you become more prestigious? Lol.

Hahaha, this thread made my day. Tea is awesome!

Why is it that no matter how strong the intent is to go and visit a friend during an oobe I find it impossible to achieve?

[...] intent alone doesn't get you anywhere. You've got to know how to use it.

Quote from: ange.connell on January 06, 2012, 13:10:33
No point in that reply from manwesulimo2004 in my opinion.

I was answering your question.

Quote from: blidge on January 06, 2012, 12:56:37
How do you know intent alone isn't enough if you don't know how your alternative works?

If I spend all day bashing my head against my desk with the intent of writing a thesis I can conclude from my experience whether it works or not without trying to do a handstand at full moon and repeating the phrase "All your base are belong to us." in the process. I don't think trying alternatives or even having knowledge of them is necessary to determine the success of a particular technique.

EDIT: Sorry if my original reply sounded confrontational. It wasn't intended to be.

Personally, I think intent alone doesn't get you anywhere. You've got to know how to use it. How does that work? No idea.

Does it make a difference whether you're going into the future or into the past? What about landing in parallel universes? Could you give some more details on your experiences?

So has this helped you successfully time travel?

So, I don't really know anything about quantum mechanics (or science in general) but I always feel the ramifications of research in this field are blown up out of proportion. Now I'm probably completely misunderstanding a whole number of things but I'll try to explain at least one point about what bothers me here:

If we observe the particle/wave going through the slits we get particle behaviour and lose the wave properties. If we don't observe it the wave behaviour remains uninhibited and the particle potentiality remains (waiting to be observed). It appears we influence the particle/wave by observing it. So if we set up our detection instruments and get a reading on our left device it doesn't necessarily mean a particle went through the left slit, it could mean the particle/wave went through both slits but that observing it made the interference pattern of the wave-aspect collapse or reset, giving us a fresh new particle/wave at the observed position.

The way I see it, it doesn't matter where you place the observing devices. Observing something changes it in that moment, not in retrospect.

Dunno if that makes any sense.

Haha. Sounds like a good dream.

Weird... definitely. Just watched this film last night. I'm a young guy so I don't know much about the time the film was produced in, also I didn't understand a lot of the symbolism, but really it seemed to me like this film was trying harder to be outrageous and weird than it was to enlighten the viewer. It's certainly an interesting film but not quite my cup of tea.

This is interesting. Thanks for the post.

Ah yes. Now I understand... lol
