One of the early stages on the inner journey is seeing that we are lost in the fogs of society’s directives and the ego’s fear based vanities. We start to feel as if everything we once knew for sure is wrong and that a new set of truths and values have to be discovered and developed. As we explore these many possibilities for action we usually have to let go of our need for approval from family and friends, those supports we used to take for granted when we played by the rules no-one talked about.
SSILD is a lucid dreaming technique. It is easy to learn, highly effective, and produces consistent results over a period of time. The feedback on the technique was overwhelmingly positive. Within just a few months we gathered many hundreds of success stories!
Our physical bodies are very specialized. They are perfect for experiencing life in the physical. They allow us to feel many things that can’t be experienced in the non-physical. The feeling of touch, the strong emotions, the experience of the survival instinct are very different in a physical body. We learn through our experiences with these bodies, AND, they keep us in the game of creating our reality here on earth in these lifetimes. But how does this happen? How do we create a world that feels so real and so material?
In our indulgence and guilt culture, the importance of desire has been diminished to some level just above crime and punishment. Diminished by some distant echo of puritan piety which values denial and control over daring and experimentation.
Fire ceremony has been practiced for thousands of years in many medicine traditions. It’s usually held around the full or new moon of each month when the veils between the worlds are the thinnest. But you don’t need a shaman to benefit from this simple way to manifest.
Seth is a non-physical being that once lived a lifetime on Earth. He became an internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher for humanity when he began to speak through author, Jane Roberts in 1963.
The root of all anxiety and phobias is a fear of death. It’s easy to be fearful of much more than we should in a world so filled with violence but fear is strictly physical.
All time is now: that is an expression we, in the community of independent spiritual seekers, have all become familiar with, either through our own meditations or reports from lucid dreamers and obe travelers living through complex experiences and returning 15 minutes later.
Nine years have passed since my spontaneous opening to a new world, to a dimension I’d only read about in books. Since that time, I’ve grappled with ongoing clashes between my clinical training as a psychologist and my newfound life in the nonphysical world of spirit.
It’s taken me over a year to write about this experience. I have wanted to write about this many times but how do you tell people that you traveled inside of your own cancer tumor?
The other day I was reminded of the fate of dissidents in Putin’s Russia, the ones who think his rule repressive and his war in Ukraine unlawful. They have to leave in a hurry to avoid frozen bank accounts, harassment, imprisonment or worse.
I just had my first intentional Out of Body Experience tonight. I let the vibrations take their course and it ended in separation. After I felt I was out, I stood up, and moved away from the body.
After years of no practice I was inspired by a spontaneous Out Of Body Experience, and recently started my lucid dreaming practice again. I committed to 100 lucid dreams.
My mother didn’t take too well to my passing, a bit ugly for sure, nothing anyone would want to relish, but it was over in a flash, about thirty seconds of agony and then, whoosh, I was gone…
In our human culture many channels have evolved to reinforce the basic drive of fear. After centuries of the geological formation process, poisonous gases fiery furnaces and the like, we left the paradise bubble of spirit for the physical plane, knowing that it was especially designed to accommodate separated forms all dependent on nourishment to survive and thus confined to being either hunter or hunted.
Having been fortunate enough to experience many “average” out of the body phenomenon, I found it exhilarating in recent months to experience three overwhelming incidences of “tunnel effect” projections which usually occur during “Near Death” visions.
My first astral projection experience made me learn that nearly every book I had ever read about the Astral was almost inconsequential to experiencing the real thing. I had never imagined the experience to be so real: feeling almost exactly like the Physical Body.
