Making the Death Transition

Friday, June 29th, 2007

Since the time we were old enough to comprehend our surroundings and identify with our parents/ caregivers/ elders we have been warned against death and lectured on the many circumstances we must avoid, if we are to stave off the big “D”- and I don’t mean divorce or Dallas. It’s definitely ingrained in our physiology to prevent our biological vehicles from succumbing to death, but I believe our fear of this inevitable event is far more compounded by nurture than by nature.

The people who have spent a large portion of their lives trying to prevent us from losing ours, have had good intentions, yet they are approaching the subject from the premise that death is a horrible experience and that it must be the opposite of life- i.e. life’s good, death’s bad. This would be analogous to stating that birth is in direct opposition to life.

If Walls Could Talk

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Have you ever questioned whether or not consciousness is only reserved for living, breathing creatures? What if inanimate objects possessed a similar potential for awareness or consciousness, as say- a human being or an animal? While it may sound like a stretch to suggest that non-living things have awareness, if you have been following a few of my past entries like The Energy Matrix, then it should come as no surprise that that’s exactly what this post suggests- well, almost.

There are people that have had encounters with objects and things that seem to be capable of giving off information. It usually comes in the form of feelings or emotions. In psychic circles this can be called psychometry, divination, being an empath, or being empathic.

The Energy Matrix

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

The concept of our consciousness existing in a field of nothing but energy is not an original idea of mine. It is an idea that I fully embrace however. In one of my all time favorite books, The Holographic Universe, Michael Talbot discusses this subject in great detail. I feel this concept does an excellent job of explaining how many things we consider paranormal, are actually quite normal and ordinary.

It’s only from the viewpoint of seeing ourselves as dense physical beings, existing in a rough and harsh physical landscape, that we become frightened or baffled by the metaphysical. The mystical and paranormal appear to be something impossible for our human bodies of flesh and bone to come to terms with. Yet, when you begin to view yourself as more of an energy being, that exists in another field of energy; these events don’t seem so strange or out of the ordinary.

Techniques for Achieving an OBE

Saturday, June 2nd, 2007

This entry is designed to provide simple tips and techniques for helping anyone who’s interested in achieving an out of body experience (OBE). If you are unaware of what astral projection is or what occurs during the process, you may want to read my “Experiences Out of the Body” Part 1 & Part 2 posts. While much has been written about this very subject matter- I want to share the specific techniques that have helped me to continually project my consciousness away from the physical body

Many people find that achieving an OBE is easiest during the first few moments after, or immediately prior to falling asleep at night. These circumstances place you in a perfectly relaxed state that is conducive to projecting your consciousness. Meditation is another option which provides a gateway to astral projection. When you reach deep levels within your meditation you are achieving a similar state of relaxation that occurs prior to sleep. I have had success with both of these methods and a few others, but for the purpose of this article I want to focus on meditation and the initial moments before drifting off to sleep.
