Astral Pulse Island Weekend

[Selski]

Hello All

By gum - doesn't it come round quick?

It's THIS weekend folks.

That is Friday 12 August - Monday 14 August 2005

Good luck everyone.  I'm ridiculously preoccupied and doubt I'll make it, but if anyone else does, please respond to this thread.

And thank you for trying.

glad to hear of this, my attempts have been very fruitful recently and I will do my best to get there!

OK, I think I might have made it to the Island, although I'm not sure.  I was definitely on AN island with big pyramid!

I was thinking of it long and intently last night.  I felt myself really slip away from the physical, and next thing, I'm on this beautiful island, looking at the trees over head, feeling the wind on my face and hearing it go through the leaves, hearing a gentle roar from the sea.  The sky was so blue, and the sun was warm.

Unfortunately, my feet have been giving me trouble, so I thought to myself, "I can't walk too well."  Instead I conjured up a nice little paved path around the island, and a shocking pink Vespa like I've always wanted!  So I hopped on my scooter and zipped around.  

I came across some entities... The one that really attracted me was this sort of gelatinous circular blob that was sort of hovering over a lounge chair.  It had no face or voice to speak of, but I got cheerful vibes from it, as it sort of bobbed happily in midair over the chair.  I approached it, and saw that it was sort of iridescent, changing among various red, orange, yellow, and golden hues, and I also noticed it had a "halo" around it, just a thin little golden ring around it's edge.  I watched it for awhile, thinking it was really quite cute.  I tried talking to it, but it didn't talk back.

Suddenly, this lady came up, and she looked at me and looked at the circular blob, and said, very excitedly, "Don't go anywhere, I want the others to see this!"  I could see her very clearly... she had short, straight copper-colored hair, sort of large round blue eyes, and was wearing a white top and white capris.  I thought she looked just like an ordinary lady, maybe in her 50s.  She ran off down the beach, and brought a small group of people over.  They looked like tourists, out on an astral safari.  I could tell they really looked excited about the blob.  I didn't want to become a tourist attraction myself, so I started to bail.  But then, it occured to me stop and ask, "You wouldn't know of any Astral Pulse members would you?  Like whether any of them might be around here?"

The lady with copper hair laughed, "Oh we get them around here from time to time.  It's like they own this place!"

I started to say, "Well, actually..." But I decided to let it go.  I decided to go into the pyramid.  I found that there was sort of a labyrinth of various corridors.  I chose one, and inside it, on my left, were these various gorgeous stained glass windows.  Some looked like Medieval church windows, others looked like Art Nouveau style, and some were just strange.  They were behind glass and lit from behind with artificial light---it was like an art museum display.  To the right, was just a solid wall, decorated by beautiful tiles in various shades of brown.  I walked down this long hallway, thinking to myself, "Gosh, I wonder if the other forum members have seen this?!"  

When I went out of that hallway, it was dark outside, and all I could see was a dark solid stone wall, as far as my eyes could see.  There were some rather rough-looking people out there.  They looked like members of a biker gang.  At first they were talking among themselves, but when they saw me, they gathered around me.  "HEY, you know the way out of here?"  I was like  "WELL?"  They demanded loudly.

"I... um... er..."  I tried to think of something quickly.  Suddenly, from the corner of my eye, I caught a glowing screen laid in one of the surrounding walls.  I went over to it, and found that it was a map, showing how to get to the exit.  "Here we go," I said, trying to sound authoritative.  "All we do is go this way, to the end of this wall and go left.  The wall at that end is fake, so we just go through it and there's the exit."

They told me I'd better be right, but I knew I was, and sure enough, the last section of wall was just an illusion.  We made it back outside the pyramid.  The biker guys went their way, without a word.  I was like "Ooookaaaay... that was weird.  This whole place is weird.  I think I'll call it a day!"  So I did! :mrgreen:

Sooo... does it sound like I was on API?  If so, I hope no one minds that I took some liberties--what with the pavement and the scooter and all.  Or do you think I ended up on some other strange pyramid island?  

Well, it was interesting any way!

That was an amazing experience Almost Mrs Murphy!

The one thing that stands out for me is the comment you received when you asked about the AP members - "they think they own the place".  I've read other accounts in this section where the "resident Islanders" have a similar attitude.  

The Island tends to have different aspects to different people.  I always find it incredibly quiet when I go, whereas Hannah tends to meet a whole load of folks.  Can't say I know why this is so.

Interesting indeed.  Thanks for sharing.
