Life after death

[todd421757]

I have seen people on this forum ask why we don't remember our immediate past life. This has got me thinking for an answer.

My conclusion is this: During the majority of my OBE's, I had almost no recollection that I even had a physical body and that I am even living a physical life. The only environment I experienced was the etheric real time zone.

So if I can't remember my current physical life during an OBE, then that doesn't justify my current physical life not existing.

Also in a typical dream we usually are not aware that we have a physical existence.

This amnesia seems to occur with all projections whether it is a dream projection, physical life projection, real time zone projection, or death.  

Yes, I do believe in life after death. It is just another type of projection.

I have been a guest on this forum for a while. There are many good topics here I enjoy.

This post here took me a long time to figure out what it means. But now I get it. Thanks for sharing.

During the majority of my OBE's, I had almost no recollection that I even had a physical body and that I am even living a physical life.

Now, I am really curious what other OBEers have to say about being aware of their physical selves while OBEing. The only times I am not aware of the above is when I am dreaming. I accept whatever I am experiencing to be the current reality. During OBEs however, I am VERY aware that I have left the physical reality and I am with my spiritual body in another realm. I know who I am, and it is even more exciting to fully comprehend the fact that you are sort of teleported to another world. To have a large amount of consciousness during an OBE means to be aware of what's going on. The moment I start loosing consciousness, my OBE fades into a dream state. It is very different.
I really want to find out what others experience in this regard!

I'm glad this post came to the top again!  I missed it before and I'm happy to be able to add my two cents in. 

I have seen people on this forum ask why we don't remember our immediate past life. This has got me thinking for an answer.

Honestly?  I don't think most people could handle that knowledge.
Think about the luggage you wouldn't be able to deal with? 

Were you murdered?  Do you now want revenge?
Were you married?  Did you have children?  Are they doing okay without you?

Those are just two BASIC problems that I really doubt most people would be able to pass up.

I think life would become impossible and chaotic if we remembered our past lives... even just the most recent one.

My conclusion is this: During the majority of my OBE's, I had almost no recollection that I even had a physical body and that I am even living a physical life. The only environment I experienced was the etheric real time zone.

It just means you had a lucid awareness and not an astral awareness.  No biggie. 

Also in a typical dream we usually are not aware that we have a physical existence.

It's not really that you're not aware you have a physical existence... you just believe what you're experiencing is your physical existence.
That's just the nature of having a "dream awareness".

This amnesia seems to occur with all projections whether it is a dream projection, physical life projection, real time zone projection, or death.

While non-physical, are you saying that you're never aware that you have a physical existence? 
It sounds like, from what you're saying here, that you've never experienced having a "waking awareness" while in the non-physical... that you've never had an astral awareness?

Yes, I do believe in life after death. It is just another type of projection.

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream...
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily... Life is but a projection...

As I mention above...
If anyone has followed my website and posts here, you'll be aware of my lucid/astral awareness descriptions.

Being aware of your physical self (having a "waking awareness"... ie: knowing who and what you are, with all associated physical memories of yourself) is the defining characteristic of what I call having an "astral awareness".
If you don't have this waking awareness... and you ONLY realize that you're experiencing a reality that isn't this physical reality ("HEY!  I'M DREAMING!") then you have a lucid awareness.  There are many techniques you can do at that point (if you can remember to do them) to bring forth an astral awareness.

 I watched Star Trek IV, the Voyage Home yesterday. What a great movie and loaded with metamors. My favorite moment was early in the movie where Spock came back from the dead. McCoy kept bothering him for info and asked what was it like? Spock turned to him and said "I can't begin to explain it to you because you will have nothing to reference it to". That was a classic moment in my mind, it was a perfect answer to give to people that constantly ask us, what's' the Astral Plane like.
During the majority of my own APs I don't have a body either. I just see through a "point of view". This is one of the reasons why I question why life can't be on other planets. In the NPR we don't need a body, so why would a -300 degree or a +300 degree environment matter to us? On this planet we use a body/vessel to be able to work with the resources found here. We have to be a form of matter before we can physically touch and manipulate it. We are so set here in the physical mindset that we can't allow our waking consciousness to even begin to fathom any other kind of existence. I'm sure some how this wraps into our ego. Since it's our ego that tells us we are superior and there is nothing else higher.
