Does any one know of what he died of ?

I read he had life-long severe diabetes issues. He fought it successfully for many years, also of course with his own energy work methods. But sometimes and with age you can only stop or stall or slow it down for a certain time until it takes its final toll. So this might have been the case with him in the end.

Good morning Loerie,

Welcome to the Astral Pulse. I really enjoyed reading your writing.

I would like to share my personal belief, where I sit currently with matters of Heart and Spirit.

I feel a similarity to your experiences- what really interest me is that like you, I had quite an episode in 2008.

Though I've had OBE's before, meditative states before- something truly incredible happened that year. Well, it's now 2025 and I still don't have all the answers.

But I believe your experience wasn't just spontaneous. I call mine an initiation. Something greater than myself, invited me into the experience of samadhi. There was nothing I did, consciously, and what I guess I am saying is- 2008 was quite a year for many people on a spiritual path. As if some force stirred something in so many.

Recognizing this energy as a personality did not come immediately. Only 10 years later did I receive even clearer answers to my experience.

My thoughts are, this lifetime is short in the grand scheme of things. I truly believe in a progressive spirit- an evolution of the soul. You might feel differently about the nature of soul, especially considering your samadhi experiences. My feelings are, there is more to learn. As it has been said, more to unlearn. An entire world, reality and a continuation beyond this. And 100 years is nothing compared to that.

But in this life, I acknowledge having been initiated by a Living, Loving Guiding Force. That I am being shown, over time, and I am able to experience- like you, moments of peace and unity. Insights towards etheric matters offer themselves to me, if I am wise enough to feel and observe. And even that is not everything.

If I can be so bold. I believe we are being guided. There is an active partnership happening. The relationship is Now, is Alive. I have loved this word choice... an "Eternal career." As we've experienced, that intelligence extends beyond our immediate life. And reading your post, I don't think you're as stuck as you imagine. Even now, you are actively receiving guidance and gifted insight into a greater reality than simply exiting a sleeping body.

In this life, I am making the relationship more real... I give Faith that I may even meet the One who initiated me in 2008. In ways, this being shows me they are still present in my life. In other ways, I am still so identified to the immediate host body and unable to perceive this Being in their splendor. And that's OK... We are here for a reason. Living this particular life, our unique expression, for a reason. And, I have a feeling even after this Life, that this Loving being will continue to guide me and bring me even closer with new insights, and understanding not derived from this world or what I think I know to be true.

You have a solid head on your shoulders, and have even seemed to come to some resolve by your own rumination. That moment in 2008 was a gift, a dipping our toes in the waters. You aren't giving up by acknowledging your invitation. That's what I think it was. An invitation...  There is a Loving Force guiding you even Now, in this Life and After.

I am happy to see all of Gods blessings in your life. If you're feeling stuck, perhaps you can try to acknowledge this force as present and recognize the many ways you are being guided. Recognize to see, in the ordinary, the extraordinary. To feel and to know. And to Move and Act accordingly. I believe that is a part of Spiritual Evolution, and OBE's will offer themselves to you... Not just when you lay your head to rest.

Best of luck Divine Friend.

Thanks for the reply and the encouragement. I will check out the links to see if there's anything hiding there that I've missed.  I'm also mining the posts here and finding all the roadblocks I've encountered so far - reaffirming that we're all just different skin cells on the same living body. I feel like I should have had all this Astral business down by age 13 - like I know it all already, somewhere in my hinterbrain - but oh well - the Great Cosmic Joker has its sense of humor too!

Hello everyone - this is my first message here - I hope it's in the right place. Your expertise and caring energy is appreciated - thanks for providing this wonderful resource. I will read more as I get time. Here's where I am:

Kepple's phasing makes sense to me. I read his stuff and listened to it on youtube as well. I know it's the way - so my focus has been trying not to actually leave the body, separate with vibrations, but just phase. I've tried incorporating Active Imagination (from Jung), I've tried ladders, ropes, swimming, wobbling, wriggling, floating, rolling, flying, dropping, popping, sniffing, farting my way out - but no go. I tried giving up and letting it happen. I tried fighting hard and not giving up. I tried giving up and not giving up at the same time. I tried ignoring the sign posts and focusing on the destination. I think I want to stop trying altogether, so this whole message is a kind of "someone please pull me out already and tell me what I'm messing up."

Thanks!

Welcome to the Astral Pulse Loeri.

I really like your sense of humour and dedication, which is a great way to approach life generally. Here you will find the resources you need to succeed, and experienced members who are always willing to advise.

Over the years I have seen numerous people fail at AP/OBE due to lack of patience. They start out with a method, try it for a couple of days, before moving to another method out of frustration, and so on before giving up altogether.

Your desire to achieve this, is, in and of itself, a good start, and just know that you can and will succeed.

Frank Kepples posts on phasing is great place to start, practice and focus on, as it is well documented, proven, and also brings other benefits as well. But like other things worth achieving, it requires dedication, focus and patience, but the rewards and benefits more than justify it.

You can find detailed information about Phasing on Xanth's webpage:

An Easy Guide and a Step By Step Book on Astral Projection

Here you also view/download Xanth's excellent book:

What is Astral Projection, and How To Do It

Also, over a couple of decades ago there was a member, Frank Kepple, who was an expert and highly accomplished at Phasing, who most generously shared a considerable amount of knowledge here on the forum, which can be viewed/downloaded here:

If you have any questions, members here are always happy to help.

Hello everyone - this is my first message here - I hope it's in the right place. Your expertise and caring energy is appreciated - thanks for providing this wonderful resource. I will read more as I get time. Here's where I am:

In 2008 I had a spontaneous satori, and I fell into what Kepple calls focus 4. That place where everything is one, and all is connected. Formless love. Being, wisdom and understanding itself. I see it as the seed of the universe tree, and here on the physical we are but the leaves. For two weeks I was in total samadhi, as if lucid dreaming and wide awake day and night. For a year I was in both realities, here and other, deeper here, in and out in waves. Later it all settled down. I naturally became interested in all things spiritual, including the astral reality.

I got a book called A Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming by Dylan Tuccillo and others, and I tried really really hard for about a year or three, with almost no success, so I gave up, but it was there in the background. Recently it has appeared on my inner radar again, and I can feel it cooking.

A few nights ago (weeks) I had the vibrations, much more intensely than normal, and I knew what they were, so I surrendered and let it kill me. I separated, feet first, and found myself in a dream house, where I went to the mirror and saw my face. "My hair looks a bit longer. Interesting." I went to the lounge and saw my guitar, and fell onto the couch - an old couch i had years ago. I got really excited, "I'm out! I'm out!" (I know, newbie stuff! and physically stimulated to the point of getting turned on - and snap - I was back in my body.

I've been trying really, really hard for about three weeks now. I know I'm trying too hard. I'm losing a lot of sleep, and can't seem to pop out. I can feel I'm on the threshold - really close - and I'm blocking myself somehow. I've read a lot, and listened to a lot of advice. A lot. I've tried multiple exit techniques, and I'm a long time meditator, so relaxing is like breathing for me. When I meditate I just go quiet. I don't think, I don't focus, I just be. It's wonderful - a kind of low grade samadhi, and it follows me through life. My whole life has become a meditation, and it's no longer a practice for me. I have grown in insight and understanding in incredible ways, and my heart has opened wide - and now this astral thing seems to be knocking on the door. I am excited to explore - but I'm getting in my own way. I just can't get out of the body.

I think part of the problem is that I'm so attuned to the energy system in the physical body. After a big car accident I had a lot of work to do in that area, and it has become my default to do the cellular healing thing. It keeps me in the body.

Kepple's phasing makes sense to me. I read his stuff and listened to it on youtube as well.

Thanks Adrian.

Check out the year 2300:

"2300

Edit: For context, here is the link you provided:
https://www.futuretimeline.net/the-far-future-2300-2999.htm#2300

Whoever wrote that article has probably been watching too many Marvel movies. "Time" does not exist so the "future" does not exist and neither do "timelines" exist. All that "happens" or will ever "happen", is "happening" right Now.

What we can say is that in the Now, technology is evolving exponentially, sometimes in positive ways, sometimes in not so positive ways. Assuming humanity does not destroy itself, again, before then, 2300 will be much different than today but no one can possibly predict in what way.

The more important question is will humanity have learned the Spiritual lessons, and progressed to living beyond the ego to Unconditional Love, to use technology, and everything else, for the mutual benefit of All.

Humanity has already, in this cycle, crossed the turning point, away from the ego, back towards Unconditional Love, although it may not currently seem that way.

I have the same observation. Masses of people are actively searching and finding themselves, who they are and realizing their own power. I came across "accidentally" on youtube videos of people walking the Camino De Santiago, which is 500 miles walk through France and Spain to reach Santiago De Compostela cathedral. And although the walk is related to a traditional religious reasons, the people on all the videos I watched who shared the reasons they decided to walk, actually had realizations about themselves very much outside of the traditional church teachings. They found that there were many things they had to unlearn, they realized that God is not something out there judging sinners. They realized their own power spending 2 months walking in nature without distractions, just with their thoughts, many walking by themselves for large stretches of time. The way everyone spoke was very much spiritually oriented rather than what you typically hear church goers speak. Instead of waiting God to answer their prayers and give them strength, people realized THEY Have the strength, THEY have power because THEY ARE divine and so is everything. God is them. I was so proud of humanity watching these videos. What you focus on is what version of reality you are in. 

Going back to the point of this topic in my view if everyone exists in the same wavelength and strive for the greater good, treating everyone the way they wish to be treated, there there will be no need of government. And being on the same wavelength means telepathy will come easy. In such society, pain will be something very rare and so is polarity. What happens automatically then is that this type of civilization would seek developing civilizations to help them. Sounds familiar? ET civilizations who have reached that point of development have been here on Earth and many other planets in need for billions of years to guide. I hope humans some day get to become guides for other civilizations out there in the cosmos.

"2300

Superhuman powers are available to common citizenry

The nanotechnology of recent decades has conferred powers to citizens that would be considered superhuman by 21st century standards. These upgraded "transhumans" could perform feats regarded as Godlike to denizens of earlier times.

A suitably upgraded individual - if transported back to the year 2000 - would be impervious to weaponry and nearly impossible to contain. They could morph their body into a seemingly infinite variety of forms depending on the situation encountered.*

If trapped in a maximum security prison, for instance, they could alter their own molecular structure, allowing them to walk through walls.* They could broadcast electromagnetic pulse waves to disable electronic devices, vehicles and other objects. Bullets and other projectiles would pass through them with no effect. Microscopic cameras, distributed throughout their body, would function as an all-round 360° sensor - covering the entire electromagnetic spectrum and making it impossible for an attacker to surprise them.

They could sprint at lightning speed and cross a variety of dangerous terrain types: even molten lava would present no obstacle to them. If necessary, they could levitate from ground level to the roof of a skyscraper in seconds. They could turn themselves invisible, morph into another person entirely, or stretch their limbs like elastic.

In many ways, they would resemble a comic book superhero or video game character.

They could manipulate their environment in various ways, generating enough body heat to light a fire, for example, or turning inanimate objects into advanced nanotechnology tools, or modifying the properties of liquids. They could heal a wounded person just by touching them. They could read thoughts and emotions, or extract recent memories.

If standing near others of their kind, they could link and combine their powers to even greater levels – harnessing the power of local weather, for example, or lifting objects weighing thousands of tons.

Their sensory capabilities would be phenomenal. This 24th century person could view individual atoms with the naked eye; or if they wanted to, use their telescopic vision to see distant astronomical objects. They could hear a whisper from miles away, or filter specific voices from a cacophony of background noise. They could determine a precise chemical composition just by tasting, touching or smelling it."

Last post by Adrian - June 05, 2025, 02:24:33

As you implied, The "Kardashev scale" is not just missing a scale, it seems to be is missing the entire point. True advancement is, as you say, about Spiritual evolution, and not about technological advancement. Also, all Energy is Universal Energy, and cannot be differentiated in the way suggested in that scale. The physical universe oriented levels as characterised by the Kardashev scale, do not exist except as a simulation. And neither do "multiple universes".

The term "Golden Age"  has become somewhat of a generic and misused phrase. The "ages" of humanity are Spiritual cycles where there is an overall increase in vibration, resulting in shift away from the control of the ego, in the direction of Unconditional Love, towards compassion, empathy, Spirituality, service to others before self, which together brings a world of Peace and Harmony. Although all cycles are concurrent, and not sequential, taking place in the Now, these are experienced as very long cycles relative to Earth "time". Humanity has already, in this cycle, crossed the turning point, away from the ego, back towards Unconditional Love, although it may not currently seem that way. There will be no "rapture" or similar such event which many are apparently expecting. The level of Spirituality among people is most definitely increasing exponentially, with more and more people seeking the Truth, and embarking on the Path of Source realisation.

Another perspective of the transition of the ages, is a shift away from the masculine energy of the ego, towards the feminine energy of Love. Masculine cycles, as now, and which we are leaving, are controlled by the male ego, characterised by control, aggression, greed controlled through fear, destructive etc. and where God is referred to as a "Him". Feminine cycles are the opposite, characterised by Loving, nurturing, compassion, peace, harmony, and abundance, and are which are creative. In these cycles God is characterised as a "Her". This is were humanity is heading now. God is gender neutral, but if God had a gender it would definitely be Feminine. In the most ancient Spiritual tradition, the Hindu, God is referred to as the "Divine Mother".  The "Lover" of the Sufi's is masculine, who seeks only to finally unite with the Beloved, the Divine Feminine, which is a metaphor for the Spiritual path, and its ultimate realisation. Many traditions recognise both God and Goddess, with the latter given priority.
