I have been looking more into it myself. Some do claim our dreams are in line with astral projecting. Maybe lucid dreams would exactly describe ap. When astral projecting, it seems as if you are in complete control of everything you do.
I have been listening to some people on youtube warning against doing ap. It sounds like when you are astral projecting, you are bound to no limits....good or evil. The guy was warning against becoming possessed by evil spirits. Also, there were some responses by people about opening some sort of portal from other dimensions to this one. Essentially, letting the spiritual world mingle with our reality. I do not know. Many of the people who really believe in this stuff say there can be a real danger. Whereas, some believe there can be some good.
I know a few guys who were in the Vietnam War. I can just barely imagine what they went through from watching documentaries. If I ever got to ask them about fighting, everyone of them never wanted to talk about it.
That is an interesting perspective you bring up here.
That is an interesting story. I have heard about some experiments that were being done in the emergency room of hospitals where something could only be seen from the ceiling. Some patients that were brought back to life reported to have seen these somethings.
Everybody who reports to have astral projected all say that they have a cord attached to their belly button area that is infinite in length. To me, that is a strange thing that is being said if it were fake.
I am curious if anyone has ever done it before and if there are any things they would caution against.
I wonder about that too...is it just our imagination at work. Though this is just one story from somebody I do not even know, it is said that a friend astral projected to a friend of his across the planet. After he did that, he called the friend to verify what he seen was correct in his home. The friend he called did in fact say he was right with what he seen.
I looked into astral plane. I am assuming it is similar to astral projection. I am not exactly sure how it happens either. From my understanding, it is a step beyond meditation. Not sure.
To answer your question, "but is it easier for us to be just an enemy instead of friends?" I think for some, yes. It is easier to be an enemy instead of a friend.
Some people live a life of anger, envy,.....,the list goes on with negative emotions, that they do not see the benefit of living with positive ones. From what I understand, when somebody lives a negative life, their sense of satisfaction comes from dragging somebody down into their "hole." If I cannot be happy, then you will not be happy either.
I think the show was on late last week. Dr. Drew, a fairly well-known psychologist, claimed on his show that all of us have some sort of crazy in us. I wish I would have seen the show.
I do think everyone has the right to pursue happiness. However, that might be more difficult to obtain than one would think. According to Eckhart Tolle, the very same thing that makes us happy one day, may very well make us unhappy the next day. I think somebody said this before, maybe happiness is elusive and does not really exist? I say, maybe happiness can exist within many different things?
As far as your question regarding consent from others to be happy. It is human nature to be socially accepted and to have a partner. One can think that having a social circle and a partner can lead to happiness. So, yes. In this instance, one may need consent from others to be happy.
What you say makes a lot of sense, and to me was a very complex question to make sense of.
Your question leads me to think about what is our purpose in life. If you believe in reincarnation, maybe we live this life to be tested with our free-will or even shown what results from our free-will. Edgar Cayce believed that we needed to hit a certain level of enlightenment before we could move on spiritually. Until then, we were reincarnated back here....or something like that.
Maybe everything is predestined but it takes many lives to reach full enlightenment. It is something that our spirit needs to figure out on its own? Each life we live gets us closer and closer to that enlightenment.
I think if it was easy to figure out, we would have known by now. I think sometimes, we are suppose to know, what we are suppose to know. :)
I have been reading and also hearing recently on tv that there are other universes that exist. Some claim these universes exist in different dimensions. These dimensions exist along side the dimension we are currently in.
It is like the spirit world. It is often said that we, at any given time, have spirits all around us. The only thing is, they are in another dimension. When people claim to have seen spirits, it is either they were able to cross into the other dimension for a small amount of time or the spirits were able to cross into our dimension for some given time.
So to answer your question, yes I do believe heaven exist. Probably not in the sense that we think of it, as with a physical gate we have to walk through. But, as a dimension we have to cross into.
That is what I think.
Thanks for the thought provoking blog. I cannot wait to see what others think.
I have a friend who recommended this site to me. He found his wife on here and she was from China. They got to know each other on here for about 2 years until he decided to go over there and visit her. Shortly afterwards, she decided to attend college, here in the states, and that is when they got married.
There is no doubt that LDR are very difficult and take extraordinary effort to make work. This old saying comes to my mind, "where there is a will, there is a way."
A little late here. One of the things I love to do in life is talk and listen to people to learn from their experiences. If I can avoid making their mistakes or become better off from their successes, I can save myself a lot of time. Of course, one needs to be careful who they are listening to. There are a lot of BSer's out there.
Okay. I would have figured you would be a Vikings fan....and probably would not want to speak publicly about it. Like I do not like to admit I am a Lions fan. :)
Astral Projection
Pepper, you going to do some astral projecting tonight?
