Suppose you have a fire cracker. From the attomic point of view you know the very placement of every atom and the electrons, protons and neutrons that make it. Those particals create the gun powder, fuze and the paper that holds its together. The fuze spontaneously ignites within a vast vaccum chamber. In theory, with presice physics, you can pinpoint exactly where each atom will end up.
Yes I talk about the 'big bang'. Iv pondered about this recently so with that being said, are our physical destinies not pre determined? Are we not 'exactly where we should be' by this concept?
    From this physical passing we should remain observant, or is that still just the expanding of particals which make up those observations, this thought, and this article I'm writing? Is the way we react to the physical outside of this paradigm or is it part of it?
   I know the questions i ask are unanswerable but I'd like to hear your thoughts. We are just informational beings sharing information for the betterment of humanity. Open my mind for me 

I stumbled apoun this accidentally while laying on my bed with the light on staring at nothing in particular for a period of 15m. In that period I observed the lights seem to dim and brighten, scenery seem to distort and move. I also recieved auditory distortions and waves of energy and happiness. Further research into this lead me to OEM. Something about connecting with your 'oversoul' and 'future self'.
      A quick search on the forums showed nothing of OEM though I didn't dig too far.
      Does anyone have any experience with this phenomenon? I'm looking to find some reputable knowledge from a reputable source (Astral Pulse Forums) and any experiences one has had with OEM.

Thanks!

How far do auras resonate off people/objects and does this depend on experience?

How many layers are there and also does the number of layers you see/size depend on experience?

I read on this site somewhere that only one layer has colors but google shows me that there are 7 layers/colors that relates to the chakras (maybe the colors and the chakras were a visual aid)?

Finally can you describe/send a picture of a realistic representation of an aura

Thanks

Taken from 'The Waking Life'. Highly recommend a watch. I can't help but feel the truth in this concidering many members and people poping up having unnatural abilitys. Inputs?


If you're looking at the highlights of human development, you have to look at the evolution of the organism, and then add the development of the interaction with its environment.

Evolution of the organism will begin with the evolution of life, proceeding through the hominid, coming to the evolution of mankind: neanderthal, cro-magnon man. Now, interestingly, what you're looking at here are three strains: biological, anthropological (development of cities, cultures), and cultural (which is human expression). Now, what you've seen here is the evolution of populations, not so much the evolution of individuals. And in addition, if you look at the time-scale that's involved here: two billion years for life, six million years for the hominid, a hundred-thousand years for mankind as we know it, you're beginning to see the telescoping nature of the evolutionary paradigm. And then, when you get to agriculture, when you get to the scientific revolution and the industrial revolution, you're looking at ten thousand years, four hundred years, a hundred and fifty years. You're seeing a further telescoping of this evolutionary time.

What that means is that as we go through the new evolution, it's going to telescope to the point that we should see it manifest itself within our lifetimes, within a generation. The new evolution stems from information, and it stems from two types of information: digital and analog. The digital is artificial intelligence; The analog results from molecular biology, the cloning of the organism, and you knit the two together with neurobiology. Before, under the old evolutionary paradigm, one would die and the other would grow and dominate. But, under the new paradigm, they would exist as a mutually supportive, non-competitive grouping independent from the external. Now what is interesting here is that evolution now becomes an individually-centered process eminating from the needs and desires of the individual, and not an external process, a passive process, where the individual is just at the whim of the collective.

So, you produce a neo-human with a new individuality, a new consciousness. But, that's only the beginning of the evolutionary cycle because as the next cycle proceeds, the input is now this new intelligence. As intelligence piles on intelligence, as abilty piles on ability, the speed changes. Until what? Until you reach a crescendo. In a way, it could be imagined as an almost instantaneous fulfillment of human, human and neo-human, potential. It could be something totally different. It could be the amplification of the individual – the multiplication of individual existences, parallel existences, now with the individual no longer restricted by time and space. And the manifestations of this neo-human type evolution could be dramatically counter-intuitive; That's the interesting part. The old evolution is cold, it's sterile, it's efficient. And, it's manifestations are those social adaptations. We're talking about parasitism, dominance, morality, war, predation. These will be subject to de-emphasis. These will be subject to de-evolution.

The new evolutionary paradigm will give us the human traits of truth, of loyalty, of justice, of freedom. These will be the manifestations of the new evolution, and that is what we would hope to see from this, that would be nice.

There is no 'save' option? How does one save updated profile information?

[reason?]

     I woke up, and proceeded to close my eyes and re-enter this same dream-scape. It was like a small park surrounded by a few houses, almost in the middle of nowhere. Iv been there in previous dreams. It felt super familiar (reason?).
     I got slight vibrations and a little pop and i knew i was there but everything was still black. I was walking on the side walk and i thought about something iv read where you have to stimulate your senses to really bring the dream back. I snapped of this little twig of a bush, rolled it in my fingers n smelled it, kinda earthy, still no sight. I bent down and rubbed my hand in the grass, then i kind of forced my vision where i did begin to see.
     When that happened i was starting to be dragged out of the dream(reason?). Like by the collar, my feet were skidding against the pavement. I managed to stop at the outskirts of the 'village' and thought, maybe i could fly back. Proceeded to fly, but just flew in the opposite direction really violently, had no control over this. The G forces was too much so i woke myself up.

Almost instantaneously, when i fell asleep i awoke in my room in a dream. Floated over to my little brothers room, that's where i became lucid. its was kind dark n gloomy so i raised my vibrations which had some effect on the lighting and the atmosphere. i woke my brother up and was like "where dreaming, come fly with me". so he got up n we flew down stairs to where my bigger brother slept. We woke him up and we were like "were dreaming, come fly with us". so he got up n we flew all round the house ahah, it was pretty awesome. I told them about this dream, hoping they had a similar dream but no luck ahah.

Just thought id share this awesome little 'dreamventure'. 

What's your take on ou ouija boards?

well... last night the same thing happened. i was having a dream that i was projecting. i knew it was a dream because after i woke up i was laying in a different position, before my projection.

this experience was more creepy. in my dream i attempted to project. but this time i tried to love all the feelings that i was experiencing. i got out of my dream body and sat on my bed and was once again heavy. i tried to go through my wall but that was hopeless. i yelled "clarity now!" but nothing. when i stood up i had to help myself stand i could feel my legs, like that feeling after standing for hours. i looked into my window and saw my body in my bed in the reflection but it was sitting up staring at me. but i was expecting it to do that. as i had a pre-thought before i looked in to the window of it happening. i decided the only way out is through my door. walking to my door i had a feeling like that grudge looking lady was going to be there. i was hoping she wasn't but in the back of my mind i knew she was. but this time i thought i would face her. this whole time i was really trying to accept what was happening and tried to really show this whole situation love but it was hard. i opened my door and that lady was there. she had sorter hair and looked less scary but i acted quick and grabbed her face, then she grabbed my arm. i screamed "let go of me". right before i said those words i was back in physical reality, with my hands in the same grabbing positions saying "let go of me!". i think next time i will try talking to her and asking her why she is there.

Does anyone have any idea what this could mean? A dream analysis, or just any advise would be suffice.

Thank you for reading

I worked, got home an had a few beers at about 4 untill 7 when I smoked alittle pot which I rarly do anymore but I decided what the hell, iv been working all day. I went to bed at 930.

I awoke sometime during the night and in that split seccon of wakefulness I got the idea to project (the only time iv been able to project is like this thus far). So I projected for alittle but felt really heavy, so I went backto my body. I tryed again but this time alittle lighter and was able to make it to my bedroom door but I was very unstable. I managed to open my door but fell on the ground but I saw some lady with dark black hair and a gown as in the movie the grudge. I was frightened so i closed my eyes and returned to my body. This same feeling iv experienced during SP, where I'm not quite sure, but have seen this woman before. I kind of enjoy that feeling of being scared but at the same time I'd rather not experience it. Anyways after the lady in the door I projected again but this time I just stayed in my bed and made a chi ball which was a white orb in my hands that grew.

I felt like I wasn't really in control but I knew I was because this was my experience. I'm pretty sure the pot and the drinks may have hindered my ability to attain maximum control.

Thoughts? Why am I so heavy? Everytime I project I have this feeling of uneasiness, like I shouldn't be doing what I'm doing or something. It just doesn't feel right.

Ok first I was dreaming that I was laying in my bed. In this dream I tryed to AP. I got vibrations then projected. I was in the back of my bedroom looking at my open door where there was a black figure. I was frighten that he ran towards me but because I was projecting i was prepared for anything. But as this figure came closer I saw that it was myself. I senced that he was different in some way. He told me that he was my consciousness or something like that and that he was always here. When I tryed to speak to him no words came out and he tilted his ear towards me and said I had to speak up, in a mocking tone of voice. Then my little brother came into my room and talked to this other me, like I didn't exist. I tryed to get my brothers attention by he just looked my way like nothing was there but he senced something. At this point I went back into my previous dream where I was laying in my bed thinking this was reality. Two other people were with me  now. I grabbed this book trying to see if I was dreaming or not but everything was there, to the detail. So I started wrighting down my dream, when I finished I woke up for real this time in my bed. Where I wrote it down for sure.

Iv read that when you dream of yourself it's a reflection of how you are in the waking life, but he didnt seem like me at all, I felt as if he was an intruder.

Does anyone have any idea what this could mean?

Lately in the past few months (and last night) I've been having dreams that seem vaguely familiar, like I've had them before when I was younger. But it seems I remember more, or have been able to explore further into the dream. I'm not cutain I have dreamt it before but while dreaming/after waking I feel the feeling of familiarity. Like I've dreamt this particular dream before.

A few of them involved huge castles so maybe something in my past life? Coincident?

Thoughts..?

Iv just read something about how drinking apple juice before bed will make you have more vivid dreams. I will try this when I have some apple juice handy.

Any other common house hold items that you know of giving more vivid dreams?

What are your thoughts about how different substances affects your ability to induce AP/ alter AP experience? Or if any would help to AP or what would completely prevent an AP?

From what iv read online most people say that it's better to AP clear minded, and that substances 'muddies' your aura, but some people say otherwise. Just preference I presume, but I want to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks.

I get the general idea but like...explain

Is it possible to AP with someone who isn't projecting?

[1:00 am]

1:00 am - I start meditating for an hour or two. doing energy work, focusing on each of my chakras for about 5 breaths each. from top, down, then all of them at once then restart from the top. i do this for about 15 mins. then i start trying to relax my body and try to induce and OBE, i get to the vibration stage but they are very subtle and disappear within seconds of me feeling them.

2:30 am - I give up and go to sleep. (Vivid dreams)

12:00 pm - I wake up, go to the wash room, then go back to sleep. I fall into a lucid dream right away (Whatever was on my mind atm).

12:30 pm - I wake up, look at the time, then fall into another dream (luicid).

1:00 pm - I wake up, look at the time, lucid dream. I had to be awake at around 3:00 pm so my mind wasnt deep in sleep. I do this in half hour intervals until about 2:00 pm.

2: 00 pm - I wake up but did not move at all. i thought about astral projecting. I closed my eyes and almost instantly i separated. i was standing in the middle of my room and i remember thinking "Finally, astral projection!" I threw my arms up as if to move up into the astral planes but i find myself standing at the end of this long, intestine looking tube. it felt eerie and uncomfortable to i thought of my body and instantly woke. i closed my eyes again and i separated instantly but this time i felt heavy, i felt a presence in my room. i was laying on my stomach and tried to turn around but was insanely difficult. It was not a good presence but it made me feel uncomfortable. i felt trapped and helpless so i thought of waking up and i did.

Has anyone experienced the same thing? Any advice on how to induce an OBE? iv read that its easier to learn in the mornings and recently iv been trying but the vibrations throw me off. Any help, advice or discussions would help alot. this is my first post
