Hello all, I came into the scene of Astral Projection by COMPLETE accident... Or hell... Maybe it wasn't an accident... Anyway... I was having a get together with a few friends when we decided to eat a few hits of acid... After a few hours of just insane fun and talking about life and things of that nature we decided to chill for a while and listen to music... So we put on some Pink Floyd and after a few minutes we were all kind of zoned listening to the fantastic musical affects of Dark Side of the Moon... I kind of drifted off and was having fun watching the excellent visuals being produced in my minds eye by the music that was playing when my eyes opened and I continued looking around the room... Only something was different... Way different... It wasn't where I was sitting before... Then I looked slightly down and realized I was looking at myself from across the room... It was startling but not scaring... A peaceful and almost serene feeling filled me... I realized that I was no longer breathing and I no longer felt the burden of my physical body... I tried to move my arm and when I did my arm moved in my physical body that I was looking at across the room... This kind of shocked me and relieved me at the same time... I mean, at least I knew then that I wasn't in fact dead... I started to feel a pull from where my physical body was... Then the pulling started to exponentially grow to the point that it snapped me right back in to my body... The experience filled me with almost a child-like joy as it really was pouring in to me the reality and meaning of what had just happened... As I opened my physical eyes I looked over at one of my friends that also had his eyes closed with a semi-smirk on his face... I called out his name a few times before I actually got a response, but when I did finally get a response his eyes opened with a sign of glee... "You will never believe what just happened", he said. "Um... If it's like what I just experienced I'll believe it", I followed... "Dude... I was just looking at myself from across the room. " He replied... It was amazing... We had just had almost the same experience at the same exact time... This REALLY cemented the fact that this was something real and it was something completely natural and not just a hallucination produced by the acid I had taken... After this night I had a totally new perception of physical reality and felt almost like a kid again that was experiencing life for the first time... My curiosity grew as I found more and more books about the subject... It was awesome to find out that others experienced exactly what I had and that there was soooooo much literature on the subject... Coincidently Astral Dynamics was the first book that I happened to pick up, and I emailed Robert a few times telling him of stuff that I had found out... I actually came across his website in it's infancy and actually talked with him about helping him create a bigger website on the subject... But we lost touch as I soon after joined the Navy, got married, had a kid, and went through some troublesome times in my own life... But... I'm back now and wanting to learn even more about the Astral, metaphysics, and the like... I've had other O.O.B.E.'s since then but that was the one that really took the cake...

Hello all, I think that maybe his best work yet was for the Tool video Parabola... If you haven't seen it YOU REALLY SHOULD... It's great... I would like to here anyone's point of view on the video that has seen it... My point of view is that this flaming eye enlightened him as it went up through his chakras and activated them all... The figure then resembles Alex's painting of death... After he puts his arms over his chest he dies and becomes again a part of the collective unconsciousness, which is what I believe is the almost Matrix type grid that it shows at the end... I don't know... This is just my take...

Please give a minute and read this through

Hello all, I don't know if it's just me... And my perception of the movie... But I think that most of you have got a COMPLETELY different view than what I got from the movies... I got from it that this time everything was WAY different than anything that had happened with the previous versions of the Matrix... If you remember what Agent Smith, and many others, said OVER and OVER, "This it was happening just like before... But not exactly..." True, there had been "One's" over and over again... But this time it was different... Neo was in fact different than the others that had come before him... And because of the way Neo killed Smith in the first movie, it imprinted on Smith some different abilities and insight that he never had before in previous versions of the Matrix... Neo then later on in the movies grew "spiritually enlightened", where no other "One" had before... This time Neo actually touched the "source" or "God"...

"The power of the one extends beyond this world (Matrix), it extends all the way back to where it came from." –Oracle. "Where?" –Neo. "The source... That is what you felt when you touched those sentinels. You weren't ready for it... You should be dead..." –Oracle.

It's saying that the reality of the Matrix shared the same reality of the real world... That means that both the Matrix and the Real world both shared an essence with God... Why? Because the Matrix and the Real world are basically programs co-existing and running in a realm that God wrote, figuratively speaking... Think about it... The Matrix was ultimately spawned by the dream of man to create artificial intelligence, to recreate what God gave us... The ability to dream... The ability to make a choice... In turn we were able to envision, or "dream" up, the technology that created the Matrix...

Look at the world that we call "Real"... What makes us up? Or even reality as a whole? Look at DNA... What is it? It's made up of the specific arrangement of 4 bases... Adenine, thiamine, cytosine, and guanine... It's these 4 bases arranged in a certain order that make us look like humans. Instead of 1's and 0's, it's 0's, 1's, 2's, and 3's... It's the three dimensional blueprint of what we, as humans, are supposed to look like... Then you have genes, which make up a sort of memory storage system between family members... It's a more complex programming language consisting of 23 chromosomes arranged by the culmination of both parents upon conception... So basically, DNA would be the software running to keep information stored within a species, while genes are also a program running used to store information between family members, the brain being OUR program running that acts also as a storage device to keep an ongoing record of our life and to keep vitals, and our soul as being the overall USER... And the overall background bios of physical reality being ran by variations of the equation E=MC2 on a fabric of space and time... Energy=Mass Times the constant speed of Light Squared... It means that you can't destroy energy without making a small bit of matter and you can't destroy matter without making a sh#@ ton of energy... It's a basic flip-flop... Just like in a computer... A 1 and a 0... A 1 being matter and a 0 being energy, or vise versa... And what we are finding out in recent breakthroughs in science is that the 1's and 0's of physical reality are nothing but different vibrations on a "fabric" of space and time, made up of tightly woven strings...

The Matrix occupying an actual physical place in the same "fabric" of space and time as our three dimensional reality would allow the sharing and overflow of information between the two... That's why the Trainman would have been able to write a program that made a "bridge" or "buffer" between the two... Which would further explain why Neo was able to go back into the Matrix without being "jacked in"... Neo was able to leave his body in an out-of-body state and be able to make influences in the coding of the Matrix just like he was jacked in... Yet it was not the same as being jacked in because he was doing so without the use of his physical brain as a middleman between his soul and the construct of the Matrix, instead he was doing so with his own projected etheric self...

"But you found Neo?" –Link. "Can't you see him?" –Morpheus. "We were reading something, but I couldn't tell what it was..." –Link.

On the other hand look at Smith when he transcended from the Matrix to the "Real" world, as Bane... They said that Bane's neural reading were odd...

"...Some cross synaptic firing, as well as signs of recent trauma, with fresh fiberatic scaring throughout the cortex..." –Maggie, doctor on the Logos.

His brain was formatted, to put it bluntly... Smith killed Bane, and by killing I mean made Bane believe he was dying in the Matrix, which in turn triggered the reflex in his physical human body to eject his etheric body, or soul. Then right before the body died Smith then wrote his own essence into the physical human brain that used to belong to Bane... Making a new "user" based upon the current programming and memory up until that point in time that was Smith... The only difference between the program Smith and Neo though was the fact that Neo was HUMAN, he was not a program written by an artificial intelligence created by man, but an actual soul, or essentially a better, or more holy, program written by God himself... And because of that he shared a truer essence, or relationship, or even priority, with the "source", or God... And because of his further "enlightenment" this time around, he was able to do things that no other "One" had been able to do previously...
Things, like his sight when he was in the Real world at the end of the third movie. I believe this was actually a representation of astral sight, and this was something that the others had never been able to do before... To see the bigger picture than just the Matrix and the REAL world... Just like in the first when he became AWARE of the Matrix and was able to see IT'S coding, he was able to become aware in the physical and see it's coding as well... The coding and medium that God created... He was able to go BEYOND that of his predecessors...

The whole premise of the movie was the human ability to make choices... And because of the anomaly of human choice you couldn't have two Neo's exactly alike... This is why the monitors behind Neo when he was visiting the Architect were all doing something completely different... Just like Neo was saying moving and doing things different... Each one shared the same basic genetic makeup or coding of the "One" that the machines had cloned over and over. But each one was different because they each had a different soul, spirit, essence, life force, etc... It is true that they were all influenced by the coding that was engraved in them all since birth, (i.e. DNA, Genes, etc.), but each one differed because of the fact they had their own unique soul... And because of this human "anomaly", as the machines would call it, it allowed giving the right circumstances, the birth of a TRUE One... A One that was able to go where no other before him had gone before... To be enlightened to the point where he actually touched bases with God... And thus be able to be to free himself not only from the Matrix but the veil that had been put over his eyes in even the Real world itself... The fact that there really was.... No... Spoon...

But like I said... This is just my take... And I'm not saying that I'm right... Or that anyone else is wrong... I'm just saying that this is where I thought the whole gist of the movie was going... And I believe that in making this movie the Wochowski brothers meant to open up the general publics eye's to the reality of duality and that we REALLY don't know what IS real... It's only through self-awareness, drawing from within, and freeing our minds, that we finally see what actually is...

I would really like to hear from anybody about this post and see if anyone else agrees or shares any of the same views... Either post here, or my email address is MichaelRoberts00@aol.com ... Hey... It's your choice []
