Hey guys, long time since I made a post. But this is something that came to my mind last night before I went to sleep so I thought I'd post it and see what you guys think of it. I'm snot sure if someone has already touched on it but if so sorry :p

I'm going to give you guys my thoughts on this because I see now that the word spirituality has been misconceived by so many people and I'm guessing this is due to religion and their use of the word. Short and simple is all this will take.
 
What is spirituality ?
To me, the act of embracing your spirituality and your spirit is the act of embracing your loving side and the love within and around you. People now a days come to assume that being spiritual is embracing God or embracing meditation or whatever else people think it may be considered. But really if you look at it how can we say that meditating is spiritual but playing a video game that you love and enjoy is not spiritual ?

A better way to say this would be all things vary to a degree in how spiritual an individual considers something to be. or how much love and enjoyment someone gets from doing the action.

If you take on your path and you enjoy doing it and have fun and embrace the true nature and love around you then why should your path not lead to "God" just because some "spiritual" people think it's not spiritual or conspiracies deem your path that you might choose to be something only greedy, powerful people do. Don't let that fool you. If you enjoy doing what you do, and do it with the act of love and greatest good in your heart then you're on your way and have nothing to worry about.

We have survived just fine without Kitchen Electronics in the past

Yes but life was also more difficult. Hunting all day just to come home, eat, then sleep. Maybe get a little in with your wife then do it all again the next day. Doesn't sound much like a life to me.

I also made my initial statement that we could change, but first we had to change our mindset as a whole and that this is achieved on a personal level.

 The video that Wi11iam posted basically said that we were going to altered into some kind of machine. That we were going to literally be changed into some kind of high tech robot.

 Did you watch the video?

Sorry, I didn't see that. But yes I agree with that first statement.

No I didn't watch it either lol. I just seen your comment so I assumed it was talking about how our technology would advance and better us, not turn us into cyborgs.
That's fault on my part, I aploogize.

How are you sure this is a control method ? Just because it seems like its fear based ? Lets not forget kids have to carry an ID card around today for their protection at school. I think just having to wear a necklace with your information at school would be so much easier then having to worry about carrying a stupid card.

I know where your coming from with this though cuz I use to think that all that stuff was to control us more but if you actually think about it it's a way of the future to make our lives easier. The conspiracies behind everything is just what make people scared to embrace the technology so we're over here working our A** off because were scared of technology. Imagine life without all your kitchen electronics, ha we'd be working our a** off even more just to eat ! Technology is the only way to advance to a better civilization. But we can't do so with our fear based beliefs behind technology.

But conspiracies are conspiracies for a reason, they aren't real but they serve a GREAT purpose. And that's for us to find out what purpose they serve.
"Without fear there is no love, without love there is no change." Ponder that :p

Nope, every new technical advance gets used first in Military applications, then for Control techniques.

With beliefs like this we won't ever change. Yes in the past every technical advantage may have been used for military purposes but it's a new time. We can't continue to look back if you want to create a future. We should look forward into what can be done and is possible.

Hanging on to the past is on a recipe to conjure up the past, Changing and moving forward into new beliefs is how we evolve.
One of the first things I learned when I got into spirituality was not to believe in everything I read and to not hold on to the beliefs that I believed to be true. Yes those beliefs may have been true but over time they WILL change because change is inevitable, in everything and everyone. Including the government(s). No matter how messed up things have been, all things take time so lets stop making it harder on the younger generation with these fairy tale beliefs of "No that can't happen because in the past it was this way, or that way."

IF you'd like to continue living the past then be our guest but please don't push your beliefs onto everyone else because of what you think. (Disclaimer:This statement was made to the general public who tend to push there old beliefs onto others.)

From my experience, messing with drugs doesn't help the problem of negativity and fear.

Since then I've been on a spiritual rollercoaster; up and down with awakened moments. At one point I felt so clear and concise that I was 100% with everything I as a person and spirit was doing; I had a great awakening process, which left me at many times speechless and unable to explain what I understood in my head

I think that this rollercoaster feeling of being awakened is caused by the drugs. It is our natural state to be awakened if we so choose to be, when we want. I would have these moments and feelings too, sometimes these moments would be after I did a drug and I'd get a great burst of knowledge and me and my friends would be like "woahh wtf," and look at each other in amazement because everything was so clear to the both of us for a quick 10 seconds or less. This has happend with like 3 drugs (ecstasy, shrooms, and once with a hit of crack (yes call me crazy for trying it) )

But ever since I stopped doing drugs I feel like I'm awakened 24/7. It's not even a feeling anymore that's how natural it is now, its like you receive guidance from your inner self and you just have to trust yourself and not be afraid to do so. That's when you start to see everything clearly. And the fears and negativity start to reside and join together with your being so its like there is no negative or positive, it's just whatever YOU think and feel.

On a episode of the Pyramid Code on the Documentary Channel tonight they talked about the Blue Lotus being used by the Ancient Egyptians as a way to access their 360 senses.
Yes, you heard that right, 360 senses. It was during what they called the Golden Age of Consciousness and was abolished unfortunately by the Heretics.
 The episode is called "The Empowered Human"

 Here is a link to this excellent episode here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV1X5ic_jAE

Nice video !
I think the main difference here is that the Egyptians actually had an intent to learn and find out more about themselves using all natural mind altering plants.

Chakras don't open or close, they are just more or less active. I would say the main thing is keeping a balance and not over-stimulating a single one. For myself, an over-stimulated brow chakra has caused headaches, and an over-stimulated base chakra has caused other physical ailments.

Stookie is right. You don't close or open chakras. You just stimulate them more.
But like he said overstimulating one may cause problems but they will revert back to normal once you stop trying to open or close or pull more energy into one.(I've had this happen to me).

The only thing that's really necessary, to my highest knowledge, is only getting to know what each chakra is linked to in your physical body and what physical problems are related to the over or under-stimulation of each chakra. Once you know that then you'll be able to balance each chakra out on its own.

P.S. But if your root chakra is off balance then this can cause your other chakras, except for the crown chakra, to be off balance because the root chakra isn't functioning right. So sometimes you just need to work on balancing the root and this will bring your other chakras into balance as well.

Here's a good website that explains the chakras: But I would still look on your own to find out about the chakras because it's always better, everything resonates different with different people.
http://www.wisdomsdoor.com/ck/chakra_des.shtml

You will get over it. I did

As for me, so don't worry.
Just focus and remind yourself before you start what the vibrations actually mean. This should actually excite you a little when/if the vibrations come so it negates the fear! 

I like to call them "The Welcoming Party"

Ironic. Hooded figures in black would seem like they aren't as welcoming, at least to me.
Now hooded figures in white I'd love to call "The Welcoming Party". White is just a more welcoming color then black 

The hooded figures I've encountered are within the nonphysical experience and not during Sleep Paralysis

Is it like this for everyone ?

Sometimes I'll just be sitting here doing something and I'll see a black figure walk by out of the corner of my eyes.
Once or twice I've seen what looked like a big orb of white walk by out of the corner of my eyes too, it was more like a flash of light. But there was no lights on that could have made the flash when I've seen this. And I wouldn't say it was a figure because it took on no form, it was more of a big ball of light flash.

Maybe their keepers, and they just keep track of our progress and report back to whoever their elite is. 
lol

It feels like they come down from the top of my head and down my spine.

Do they go all the way down your spine or do they just stop like halfway ?
Because mine comes down and stops a little after my shoulders, and that's when I don't feel my body at all.
After they come don't try inducing more of these, try an exit technique and see if you have any success getting out.

Normally this is when I am at the "point of no return" in my Phase

This is the same for me, except after I feel these "chills" I know this is when I'm able to separate from my body for an OBE.

Hope this helped

I think it's time that you calmed down and enjoyed life more. You seem to question everything with some kind of a Paranoid point of view.

 Just live it now and when you get much older, you can question what you have experienced then.  wink

 Just "go with the flow" for now. You will live a much happier existence that way!  smiley

Agreed.

But as for your questoin it's not just your creation. We are just co creators of our universe. We are all connected, meaning we are all creating this reality and everything along side of The Source. The Source, The Creator, or God if that's what you want to call IT, is the one that has created and made this all possible. We have just choose to play this game to come experience, evolve, and rediscover our connection with The Source.

But like Lionheart said don't worry to much about it. Go with the flow. Being the creator won't make since in a 3D reality, our brains weren't made to comprehend that. Once we move into a higher state of consciousness, only then you'll start to understand what it means to be a co creator. Until then though, questioning higher dimensional truths from a 3D state of mind will only create fear and anxiety. I've been there before don't worry. I'm sure we all have

Hmm. that's weird cause just the other night, maybe like 3-4 days ago, me and my girlfriend heard some very loud booms and we thought it was thunder. Or maybe even the people upstairs from us moving there chairs around. But now I think about it, they move their chairs around all the time and this noise sounded nothing like the chairs moving.

Good post !

["What you resist persists."]

I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with "curing" or rather, "ridding" yourself of a particular fear and/or anxiety.

If you want to get over a fear run at it head on with your feet firmly on the ground. What I mean is when you're about to do something that scares you in your physical life, take this activity on but do it without fear. Have a mind filled with love and be confident about it because everything is going to be okay. This is how I've been overcoming all my fears in my life now, and I believe this is how everyone should be overcoming there fears.
"What you resist persists."

Essentially, using the non-physical as a battleground for ridding yourself of fears that plague you in the physical.

I ask, do you really think this is riding you of your physical fear if your going to the non physical to overcome something physical ?

Now I'm not saying that trying to overcome a fear in the astral is not something to do, but I believe that's for more subconscious fears that you can't really see in your physical life. You have to overcome physical fears in the physical, that's what it's for. The astral and non physical realms are for overcoming fears on a deeper level because you can't really see these fears in your physical life, like I just said.

How do we expect to master our higher selves if we can't even master our physical life.

Just my thoughts from experience.

I didn't really aim to exit through my ear. But I know that I've always had a feeling of exiting threw my ear I guess you could say.

I was having a hypnagogic hallucination that I was in a play and that's when I ventured off behind the play and went to some portion above it. I then walk back down these stairs and that's when I enter the 3D blackness. Then this is when I start feeling my conscious be pulled out of my body threw my ear. So I'm thinking this was something that was subconsciously created because I had no intention of exiting threw my ear this time around. I was just aiming for a conscious exit.

"Instead of trying to climb out of your body, why not change your approach and try to get into your consciousness. Turn in, not out.

 When you are in SP or trying to AP, try to create a scenario and join it. Start simple, this could be as easy as shooting basketball. Just visualize the ball coming out of your hands and into the hoop. Play this over and over again until you NOTICE that the scene is starting to take on a life of it's own. This is when you stay the course and see it through.

 Try some kind of Hobby or sport you enjoy. Try a walk on a beach or in a meadow. Experiment with it.

 Sometimes we put so much effort into physically climbing out of the body that can't see we are already there!

 Check out the many helpful Stickies found throughout this site.

 Good Luck and Safe Travels!"

Thanks for this, I'll remember this for next time I try to have an OBE/AP.

So I was about to exit my body, but I guess I choose to try exiting threw my ear. Not a very good idea, lol.
This was a little bit painful, nothing to much though. I tried about 3 times. Each time I'd stop, breath in a couple times, and try again.
Each time I'd get a little closer to exiting, but that last time idk what happened and I ended up back to the normal blackness behind the eyes.
That's when I came to write this.

So like the title says, is there anyway to change your point of exit after you've already tried to leave threw one point on your body or no?

There is not a program for that Barnowl. You need to do some more practice to get a lucid dream.

Agreed. I would focus on becoming more aware and conscious of the things in your daily life. After I've done that I would focus on bringing that awareness into my dreams before I go to sleep at night. 

For experienced projectors only pls:

If you meant to project intentionally or not maybe you were laying down having an afternoon nap and suddenly it happened or maybe from a lucid dream or however it happened, how did it feel before it did? what I mean by this is what were the feelings leading upto it? did you hear the buzzing feel the vibrations over your body and wondered what on earth was happening?

Do tell all.

Tbh my best projections always happen when I'm feeling down for some reason. I guess you can consider this a feeling leading up to projection.
I think these experiences happen to me because this is when I actually put a lot of emotion behind my intent and it creates an amazing experience to bring my day back to bliss.

Not sure if this is what you were looking for but maybe you should try it out when your feeling really down. Like Bedeekin said, there are numerous feelings you can get and we all get different ones. Don't focus on what someone else feels, cuz like they said, if your not feeling what someone else feels then you'll most likely think your doing something wrong when your probably doing it right, focus on what you feel.

Well.. .true. I agree to an extent.

But saying they don't fit into spiritual nature is basically trashing the last 2 million years of shamanic practices and ritual. Nearly all spiritual journeys taken by shamans are done by imbibing on some sort of entheogen. Even buddhist monks use nepalese temple balls - which are made from pure hashish - to fill their halls full of potentness. North American Indians used Tobacco and sweat lodges... South American indians use/used Mescaline, Salvia Divinorum, peyote and many forms of potions containing DMT. The Wiccan's used many forms of hallucinogenic mushroom... the egyptians used the Blue Lotus. Throughout history the human race has used mind altering potions to get 'spiritual'... although... maybe as a modern species of human that is the offspring of 2 million years of this experimentation... we don't need them anymore.

Yaa sorry, I shouldn't have said  it doesn't fit in. I more meant doesn't fit in at this time as you said, we don't need them anymore.

Everything in access can be considered bad. Alcohol can be used to fuel vehicles, drugs can be used to help with and against diseases.

Very true. But there are much more efficient, eco and people friendly ways to fuel vehicles as they're now starting to work on. And for our bodies, they're designed to heal themselves are they not ? So why bring in some outside catalyst. That's what eating the right foods and drinking water are for. Yaa marijuana can be used to relieve stress and pain but that also doesn't help ourselves out on a deeper lvl because we aren't actually getting rid of the stress, it just subsides for awhile while your high then the stress arises again keeping us stuck at the same place we were before we smoked that fat blunt. And half the pills doctors give you help fight infections/bacteria to heal one problem while causing another by destroying other bacteria in the process. This doesn't sound like something that is there to help anyone..besides the ones selling and making these drugs.

I would say that drugs these days are stigmatised because of the fact that they don't fit in with modern society and the social model it entails. They are counter productive to a smoothly functioning society. That's evident.

To my understanding, and my opinion, they don't fit in because we are of a spiritual nature. Marijuana and any other drug takes us farther away from our spiritual nature. (I recently stopped smoking and drinking and found that my life is just as fun, if not funner, and filled with love, w/o these) LIke I mentioned early, we play the game on our teams and we play by the rules. Even the elite that was once in control of our government are playing by these rules, they know drugs take us away from our spirituality and that would be an unfair advantage for them, which is why I'm guessing even they aren't allowing it to be completely legal. Otherwise if there were no rules we would all be enslaved by now working for the dark elites. Don't you think ?

opps, lol. That was suppose to be angle 

"It was probably just light refracting through the camera lens at a very odd angel."
Lol 

So you would you agree or not agree with drugs and alcohol to be bad ? or is that something that we consider because of our conditioning too ?

Just a little video I seen while scrolling through some blogs on a website I like to read.
It's as if they want us to know they're here. And in some videos it looks like they're actually negating the effects of nature to help us out.

Enjoy. 

When I say vulcans, I am taking about the vulcans from Star Trek; the story behind them is that they were a race that was ruled by violent emotion, and this led to war after war, until they collectively decided that the only way out was for them as an entire race to vigilantly examine their own minds, and discipline away their worse qualities.

I tend to think that if humans want to continue be around in any meaningful way, this may become necessary.

Ohh alright, now I get you. I took that in the wrong way, sorry about that.

And I believe that's what a lot of humanity is now doing is it not ?
Although there still are the ones that choose to ignore this and play their own game.
