hello, I posted this on another board long ago, thought it might help.

I speak solely for my self here, I am no authority person in these matters, nor am I some guru, I simply experience and do the best I can.

You speak of dangers of getting involved in such matters, but what is danger? Every second of our whole lives, we face danger and risks in every thing we do, what ever that is brushing your teeth, driving your car, making love or simply getting into the matters of psychic development, but the thing with danger in our society is that from the moment we came out of our mothers womb, we have been programmed to fear danger, fear the unpleasant risks, fear the things that may scare us, fear the dangers, fear fear fear! The greatest danger is the fear of danger imho, when we fear the dangers, we stagnate, we stand still, shaking like a leaf of the 'dangers that may lay ahead.

Imo, it is best not to approach danger with fear, but approach it with caution, caution is not fear, caution is your knowledge on what that fear is, when one approaches there danger with wisdom, strength, knowledge and respect, they stand tall and with clear vision, they see Cleary, they rise above it all, they understand what to do in that situation, there really is no such thing as fearlessness, I admit I experience the feeling of fear in situations that may be unpleasant, but its not about repressing the feeling or being macho, its about understanding the fear, where it is, where its coming from, its about not letting the fear control you, its about balance, I admit I still need tweaking, but as I said, I am no guru, and I do the best I can do for my self.

Yes there ARE dangers in these maters, YES you can get hurt, both physically, emotionally and mentally, YES there are risks in this, but like I said, there are risks in every thing we do, I again speak solely for my self, I personally am prepared to take the risks, I am prepared to get bumps and bruises, I already have, it may of delayed me, but it didn’t stop me, out of body experiences are not some glamour ride nor are they some thing that should be taken lightly, you deal with every thing with respect, care, wisdom and knowledge, they are not all about out there, its also about inner growth, its about facing your inner fears, its about understanding what’s what lays beyond our normal human perceptions, the greatest adventures, the bravest people where the ones who went into the ‘unknown’ they went in without fear controlling them.

Remember, every moment of your life, for all eternity, you are watched over by your higher self, your higher self WILL intervene directly should any thing arise in which you are not experienced or could not handle, that applies to all planes of existence, but it doesn’t mean its all smooth sailing, your higher self on occasions will let you fall, it will allow you to experience “unpleasant’ fears, it does it for experiences and growth, the beauty of this is that we all win, it’s a win win situation, no one gets left behind, we are already enlightened, like I say, its all experience.

What I have said is just mho, its not any one else’s truth but my own from my own experiences, though some may agree on what I have said, that’s fine.
