Questions about gifts given in the Astral Plane?

[whitewisps]

I've heard that sometimes people are given gifts in the astral plane, is that true?
And what kind of gifts would these be? What do you do with them?
Sorry, I must sound quite ignorant right now, but I'm only new to all of this!

[Xanth]

What kind of gifts would you be referring to?

What have you heard?

[Stillwater]

Gifts as in sharing experiences? Sure.

Gifts as in other consciousnesses passing on their own memories to you for you to experience and learn from? Sure.

Gifts as in... things you get to take "back" with you to your everyday life, and put on your desk? Never heard of that actually happening, and I wager strongly against it ever happening.

I think whitewisps is referring to psychic powers. While I guess some people do refer to them as gifts, I don't think they speak of it in the sense that they were given these abilities from someone. It's more of an awakening of their awareness of having such abilities all along.

Personally, I only have glimpses that occur just often enough to avoid being labeled as fleeting.

AZ's explanation was spot on! 

When you open yourself to a new awareness, you see the World in a new light.

This awareness has been there all along, it's just life's distractions that have kept you from seeing it.

I was thinking of a large scren t.v. How would one get get a gift home with them ?  (lmfao)

I was once given a sticky blob from someone. It was colorless and felt kinda jelly. They didn't say a word though, and I don't know what it was. I politely pawed it in my hand for a while and moved on

Yeah I don't think that I understood the question, hahaha.

I never thought about what I've been given in projection.  I've been given pink blobs, and been taught to attract things to me (like, 'accio').  I've also been taught to create objects.  That's about it.

I was given a blob too! What's that all about?

[Stillwater]

Maybe it is people's minds struggling to describe a non-physical object to themselves.

Or maybe they are just blobs.

I took the "Blobs" to be some kind of energy orb I was supposed to learn either how to use or learn more about in general! 

[CFTraveler]

I never made up my mind as to what it was supposed to be, so I decided that it must be something 'fundamental' that I had to work with- kinda the same thing from another angle.

The blobs taste nice with custard.

[CFTraveler]

Idk it felt kinda mushy. 

[Re]

Wet and slippery' but also kind of sticky...

On a serious note,
Has anyone else been asked what would they like to know while non-physical? This usually occurs in the 3D black void.
As many who have asked previously say, " be careful in what you ask for".
The results stay with you for your lifetime here.

About the sticky orbs... The first thing that comes to mind is "Primordium" which is a fictional element of creation/source that I wrote into my stories. It is pretty much universal foundations that can be shaped with willpower into other objects. Not sure if if the ones you guys are encountering are similar, but have any of you tried turning to orbs into something else? Like weaving it into some sort of object or empowering it with memories/thoughts. That would be an interesting experiment.

When I received it it surprised me into waking up.
I was having one of these 'dreams/projections' in place (that is, I'm lying on my bed and the scene is playing out around me) and suddenly, someone came into the room from the wall and my physical hand was out with my palm up.  He then puts this thing in my hand, which feels sort of like silly putty- solid yet pliable.  I then am surprised (because I was paying attention to the dream/action and he just surprised me-) and flinched a little.  Then I woke up, the scene dissolved around me like a tv raster and I was lying there with the feeling of the stuff in my hand.  I then looked at my hand and of course, there was nothing there, but I could still feel it.  So I got up to look at my hand in more light, and didn't feel it anymore by the time I was out of the room.

I was asked this in the 3D void once, but I wasn't paying much attention. I think I didn't even answer. Can you elaborate on your experiences regarding this please? It sounds really interesting!

I was given it by a skeleton, which sounds silly but is actually symbolic to me for reasons too long to explain on a tablet. I wish I had payed more attention though...

My initial encounter with this, I asked to see heaven and hell.. I also said it would be nice to see the rings of Saturn up close.
I was 9 years old at the time. In 1 the 60's during the first Apollo missions to the Moon, Saturn was an interest from encyclopedia's.
What I saw was exhilarating. The rings of Saturn have quite recently been shown from a probe. This was identical to what I saw way back.
I obviously told everyone around what they looked like and there was many rings too.

Since that time many other things have been shown. These include things that 'appear' in daily life. You simply 'know' whats coming.

[whitewisps]

What exactly is the 3d void? Also, about being asked "what would you like to know while non-physical", I'd like to hear more about that as well.
And, for gifts, well you guys all seemed to know what I meant. I guess I just meant general gifts that have been given in the astral plane, like I've heard about the blobs, not much else though. Or just anything that has been shown or given while out there. I guess its a sort of difficult question to put into words.

When I was young I heard amazing music in the astral, like nothing I've ever heard before.  (I didn't know how to project then, but heard it in a trance)  Many years later when I was an adult, I remembered the music, and asked to hear it again.  My wish was granted and in the void I was given 3 amazing pieces to listen to.  One was a symphony with a french horn choir.  There are no words to describe the glory of this music.  It was not of this world.  I was also given some super abilities while listening to it.  I could listen to it from a distance and then change my perspective to being 'inside' of it.  I could also turn up the volume on specific instruments.  I could also watch the score and see the notes go by.

The 3d void is somewhere you seem to experience thats similar to closed eyes in total darkness physically.
It's a grainy backdrop with a feel of a large cavern that goes on forever. You tend to be floaty here.
It has its particular feel and your non physical senses are awake here.
This involves a mental communication that far surpasses anything you've ever come across. Nothing physical comes near and the simplest definition of a powerful communication here would be to gain the knowledge of an entire lifetime with feelings and all in an instant. Effectively you can produce data as if you lived that lifetime. Normally this isn't done but sections of time from another's existance can be recieved.
It's the best 'apparent location' to ask for something. In some cases you are asked a question here. Be very careful how you answer these. It has the immense power to create anything you think of. Wisdom applies. Life and death are physical world attributes only and I have the realisation that this inconvenience could be dealt with here.
This is the location I really want to be in conciously when my Earth time is done. I think you get the picture of its immense grip it has on everything that is.
