I think that there are two types of people who want to receive that kind of information from spirits:  People who want to increase their personal wisdom and power, and people who want to convey it to the world, i.e. the ones who go on about huge fleets of alien spaceships hurtling towards Earth to arrive in 20 years or some such.

It makes me think that the majority of such communications are false, from trickster spirits having a joke on us and manipulating our hopes and beliefs.  I also believe that for people who are ready to receive such information, spirits or angels or whatever sometimes reveal truths of a more or less profound nature, which if the person so chooses, they can reveal to those they also believe to be ready.  But a website full of crazy-sounding prophesies or truths, to me, is probably junk.

I'd really like to know how he's a fraud myself, why do you say that?

Well, how are you in general?

Hi.  I'd recommend that before you try relaxing your legs, you do some good leg exercise, followed by deep stretching.  If you work your legs out (try specifically to work out all the different muscles thoroughly) and then stretch them all out, I've found it really, really helps you relax them afterward, very deeply.

You might also want to specifically do a lot of energy work on your legs, because I have similar problems and associate it with energy blockages in my legs.

It sounds to me like something is opening up.  I wouldn't be scared, but if your intuition warns you it's something bad, listen.  Otherwise, if it's weird and not really bad, let it run it's course, it sounds like new energy pathways being created.  Cool.

Welcome to Astral Chat! / Meditation Posture
March 18, 2005, 22:40:07
I feel strongly that good posture is very, very important to overall well-being:  body and mind are both equally important.  Proper spinal alignment allows for proper blood and energy flow, and promotes relaxation.  Proper posture requires certain muscles to become developed which normally are under-used, so in adjusting to a better posture, you're forcing some level of muscular development.  By doing this, your overall physical health will be benefited, so I would recommend posture training as part of a meditation discipline.

I want to live fully.  I want to overcome my fears and live life as much of a real HUMAN BEING as possible.  Society robs us of our humanity, makes us ashamed of our human nature.  I want to live life as fully myself as I can.  You should read Sexus by Henry Miller, it's pure philosophy to me.

I think more than anything I'm afraid that when I project, there will be, waiting for me, something that will be so frightening it will drive me insane.  When I wrote this original post, I was absolutely certain that there would be some dweller waiting for me on the threshold.  The only few times I've felt close to projecting, fear kept me back.

The next time I feel this close, or feel this sort of fear, I'm going to just continue anyway.  Lets see how that goes.

I think energy work goes with martial arts SO well.  To me, when you do energy work you're purifying your body, which goes hand in hand with martial arts which puts that purification to work.  Say you do a lot of work on your hips, your kicks will improve.  Work on your shoulders, they'll have more snap.  Try this:  every time you do energy work, exercise afterward.  Do a typical warm up, then do whatever the heck feels right.  I'm really glad you've found this, man.

I don't know why.  I've wondered about those sorts of things myself.  Some people seem to have lots of confrontations in the astral.  I don't know you, but maybe it has to do with your personality?  Maybe it's just a calling.  Who can tell the final truth about the nature of astral reality, sure as heck not myself.  Maybe you really are called to be an astral exorcist, or maybe it's just battling with parts of yourself.

Welcome to Astral Chat! / UNDER 18 AP goers
February 19, 2005, 12:40:12
Wow, I'm 22 and the oldest person posting here.  Jeeze, this has never happened to me before.

It's funny, I spend time with my wife's siblings, they're 14 and 16, and it's like, I never expected to be old enough to give someone advice on stuff.

Anyway, I feel really lucky, I mean seriously blessed even that I found out about the expansive nature of reality when I was 20.  I could have found out when I was 80!  I have my whole life ahead of me to explore the nature of all that is, and of myself.  It's fantastic.

Never forget though.  AP is just a single facet of our potential.  A really neat friggin facet fo sho, but the real purpose of it all is to explore ourselves, find out more about ourselves, our potential, and how to live life fully.  Watch how you react in situations, notice your fears and what things you avoid.  Life is just a quest to live fully, to overcome our fears and stop loathing ourselves for our inaction.  The best worship is to be happy, totally happy.  In the stream of life.  So, I look on AP as a goal, but overcoming my own limitations is another, more important and encompassing goal.

I can't wait to AP though, only been practicing a few months, and not really that thoroughly.  I do a lot more energy work than AP practice.  It'll happen when it happens, I say.

I too have no proof of anything, except my gut feeling.

I was an athiest for 20 years, and its been 2.5 years since then, but I still have no really definitive personal proof that there's more to reality than modern science would have you believe.

Yet, I refuse to give up, because I just, I know, I can't give up hope.  I'm not going to give up hope.  Call it a leap of faith.  I know my life will change for the better, and I'll become one with the flow of life.  Maybe not today, not tomorrow, but when the time is right.

Until then, I'll keep meditating, I'll keep doing energy work, until my time comes and I'm ready to experience the richness of life.

I'll remember to try APing while downloading porn, since it works so well for you.

There's one a quick subway ride from my house in Manhattan.  How much does it cost though normally?

Welcome to Psychic and Paranormal! / Damnéd fear
February 02, 2005, 22:18:48
When the lights go out, especially when meditating, I get this sense of fear.  Strong fear.  It's very hard to ignore.  The biggest fear, which would drive me into absolute gibbering insanity were it to occur, would be to turn around and see, right in front of me, something too scary for words to describe, a hideous face right in front of me, leering with red eyes, out of nowhere in the dark.  I'm so afraid that I have to close my eyes, and then I'm so sure something is right in front of me I'm afraid to reopen them, yet when I do there's nothing, except the fear is still there.  I don't know if it's in my mind, or what.  I sometimes burn herbs, sage rosemary lavender and such, but they don't help a lot.  All that does help is turning on the lights.

I would appreciate any advice, any at all.  Thanks tons.

Michael

I have to say, that sounds fantastic.  The best advice would be to keep practicing, getting into that state, and you should get better at it on your own.

I'd say you should start working on your meditation again, relaxation techniques (deep, slow breathing for example) and start doing some energy work.  I'll give you a link to a good guide for this.  You need to honestly assess where you want to be in life, and what steps you need to take to get there.  Decide why you're staying with your boyfriend, what your real reasons are.  Security?  Fear of independance?  Love?  If he's bad for you, and you know it, you have to make the leap.  Trust yourself, and your instincts.  You CAN trust yourself.  Trust me  ;)

Here's the link.  Good luck with everything.  If you have any questions about anything or want advice, feel free to ask here or to PM me or anyone else who appeals to you.  Really, good luck.

I spend a lot of time doing the same things.  I recommend you keep practicing, because you only get better, and the sense of progress is what keeps me going.  I'd also recommend you spend some time doing energy raising every day (robert bruce describes the technique very well) because this will help your progress a lot.  Anyway, good luck.

Without reading the content of this thread, I'm going to agree with you.

You should be sorry.

Reality shatters into a quintillion iridescent penetrating shards of excrutiating intelligent color, biting into my green-tinged veins with a sadistic brilliance.  A ventriliquist's dummy barks madly in the corner.  I lay in a pool of purple-flecked sandy personal fluid, as my consciousness slowly weeps beside me, mourning the falling of the arches of the age of black logic.  I raise my head, and my wildly spinning yellow eyes pick up the remanants of the sunlight oozing slug-like through the fractured wall-monsters which rest complacently against each other, reaching up to an ominous white point in the finite distance above.  Crystalline mannequins flaunt their holy curves to the derisive applause of speckled Vatican robed pagan ex-Popes.  I sigh with latant remourse as I give up the ghost to the more suitable Holy Ghost waiting patiently nearby for my exhaling demise.

Woo, that was fun, someone should pay me for this.

It sounds to me like everything is coming together for you.

Trust your intuition above all else.

Possibly you have energy blockages in your head?  I'm no expert.  You might want to seek help from an acupuncturist or healer, or continue doing the exercises and deal with the pain until the blockages subside, but you'd probably want a second opinion on that.
