Spiritual or Play

[cainam_nazier]

I am hoping that in some way it will bring me some answers to several questions I have.  I am also some what of an adventurer in nature and like to explore things.   Projecting would be a great tool for this because of the possabilities of exploring all kinds of places that would be new to me.

My sparke started with a question.  Why are these things happening to me?  That was the original question in context to various abilities I have.  I am now on a constant "mission" to explore these areas to find out the why behind it.  I also seek new ways and information on sharpening these skills and finding new ones.  I seek a balance in my life and keep reality in check by seeking that which is considered to be paranormal.  With every truth and lie that is revealed my reality becomes stronger.  I become more connected with life as to share in its misteries.  

It is also my feeling that if a person stops trying to learn then they stop trying to think.  If you do not look to better yourself in some fashion then of what use are you?  One should always look for ways they can better themselves, thier profesional life, and thier personal life.

My first OBE happened spontaneously to me. At the time I had no idea what it was. When I did learn what it was a few years later I wanted to experience it again. The main reason I guess was because I was curious as to what had happened to me and what existes beyond this plane. I had always felt that there was more beyond just the physical and I had finally find a way to get beyond it. So for the most part it has been curiousity with a little desire to explore. Recently however a more spiritual aspect has come to it and I now wish to explore for higher meanings, find out more about myself, and develop spiritually.

Hi Steveb

I have the same goal. It is a part of my spiritual quest. After gaining the ability to OBE, I would work to attain the higher realms.

I believe that after many lifes (reincarnation) you get to a point where you start to search for answers. Each life is a chance to learn for Soul, so in that respect, there is no good or bad experiences, but an opportunity to learn.
You become the "searcher".

It is a fire that consumes you, a thirst to know, a thirst for God.

The spiritual path is an individual one, so there is no good or bad path, there is yours. What's the proverb ?  Each road leads to Rome ?

The searcher looks into everything he can put his hands on, to find answers, to understand, and all that brings you in one way or another to OBE.

You learn by trial and error, it doesn't matter if you took the "right" decision, what's important is the lesson learned.

When you are sincere, help will come along the way. You read books, meet persons, you find forum as this one...etc.

But you have to do the work yourself, spiritual social welfare doesn't exist.

OBE would give me many, many answers.

Love is the cement that unites us all...Love you all !

Thanks for the reply David, I'd have to admit, as far as the paranormal abilities go,  I'm rather dull in that area. My intial spark started in my early teens when I read about Jung. Someone suggested I join the theosophical book shop, so I did, loaned a couple of works on jung, went home and over the following weeks read them.I was ammazed, I new exactly what was comming next as I read. I took the books back and the attended looked at them and said, "hhmmm preaty heavy stuff,I'll get you smething you'll understand". I told her I quite enjoyed them and she looked rather gobbed smacked. I dont know what it was, but it was as if I'd been involved with, or read it all before.
         I have had one paranormal energy expearance, it was about 12 years ago, I'd like to know what it was, maybe someone might know. It was at a time in my life when I should have been dealing with my Ego's instead I was hiding and shelving them. In other words I was bottling everything up and something had to give, and it did. It started sitting on the loo (I know ya really didn't nead to know that, but hey,thats when it started). Anyhow, at the time I lived in a flat which was behind a shop in a shopping strip.  Well I'm sitting there when I hear someone honking a horn. I get a little annoyed ",honk honk", a little bit more annoyed, "honk honk". i'm getting angry",honk honk", I'm going to kill them ,"honk honk". I was loosing it, it was tottally out of charracter and I really thought I was going to hurt someone. I had to do something, I went in side and sat in a big chair. I didn't know anything about meditation then, so I sat in the chair, crossed my legs, placed my hands in my lap with my fingertips just touching each other and closed my eyes, I could hear a cricket outside, I dont know why but I vizualized it's legs rubbing togeather, all of a sudden I could feel energy, like current running around my body. If I seperated my fingers it stopped, but when the fingers joined it seemed to be making a circuit, It was unbelievable, it was like a mini twister,better than anything, sex , you name it. After, I stood up and held the mantlepiece above the fireplace and was exhuasted.
          I dont know what it was, I do know, and I know it sounds corny,but I have an enormous amount of respect for crickets. ?.....

i was about to ask this before the server had problems. i guess it serves our spiritual evolution since we are exploring the non physical realms.since i had spontaneous experiences i decided to seek it out. i took a dream yoga teching with a tibetian lama where you become lucid in dreaming and then you can manipulate your dreams. he said the purpose of the practice was it enabled you to be more aware after death and you cannot become confused because you realize that what you see is a manifestation of your own mind.

I have this huge desire to understand everything.

I dont know what drives me, but I want to learn... not half the bull  they teach me at school, but to learn and progress into the (relatively) unknown and experience something truly incredible

Learning about OBEs also "pushed" me into the spiritual path which I'm now exploring and loving.
