Wind of the Soul

Question: I’ve always been interested in whether or not our will has the potential to overcome universal laws like gravity?

Answer: That’s an excellent question. It’s one I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about as well. All of the scientific literature refers to gravity as a universal law. However, science (outside of some forms of the new physics) still refuses to acknowledge out of body experiences (OBE), near death experiences (NDE) and the dream world as legitimate encounters in which consciousness is interacting in other realities and environments. Despite this “oversight” by the scientific community, hundreds of thousands of people continue to embark upon these experiences via altered and expanded forms of consciousness, which cannot be explained away as elements of overactive imaginations.

Question: I suffer from bouts of depression and you said you’ve experienced the same thing. I’ve tried working with my emotions and changing my thought processes to feel better, but I still find myself hitting rock bottom a lot. If we are God source energy, as you say, then why do we feel negative emotion?

Answer: I too occasionally have moments where I can feel myself slipping into that state of mind. I spent many years of habitually riding the rollercoaster of depression. I have to let myself off the hook on this subject, quite often, because I know I didn’t get into a routine of being a depressed person overnight. It took many years of thinking and feeling undesirable thoughts which stripped me of my power. These thoughts eventually developed into consistent responses within my brain, bringing on my states of depression even faster and more consistently.

Question: I’ve been reading about Hinduism lately. What are your thoughts on it?

Answer: I’m not well versed in Hinduism, but I am aware of the Hindu belief in reincarnation. While I absolutely share in the overall belief in reincarnation, I don’t share the Hindu explanation for its purpose and the variety of roles we may assume during each successive incarnation.

I believe that primarily, the energy which we think of as ourselves tends to continue utilizing the human physicality, from one life to the next. Of course this can become a little tricky because even though we all have our own separate identities, we simultaneously stem from the same nonphysical source energy. In other words I am really no different (at the energy level) than the plants and bushes I see out the window or the people that are taking walks along the street as I’m typing this.

Since doing my first Q & A post I’ve had a couple of emails come in, specifically asking me to address their questions in my next installment:

Question: Recently, my children have been asking a lot of questions about death and dying. I’m pretty spiritual and open minded and have read a lot of metaphysical works about the whole process, but I still notice my own doubt and fear creeping in, while discussing the subject. Since I know you have had several spiritual type experiences, I was wondering if you still struggle with thoughts of your own demise?

I’ve been receiving some emails recently, containing specific questions, about the site and about my views and opinions, on a variety of metaphysical, and even some religious subject matter. So, I decided to feature a couple of them in a question and answer series. I’d love for this to become a regular feature because I feel it helps me to clarify my views on certain subjects and it allows me to cover some grey area that my posts, so far, haven’t quite covered.

It also provides me with an idea of where my visitors are coming from and what areas I may need to be more specific about. If you have questions on anything related to the subjects I regularly discuss and would like to see them featured in an upcoming post, please feel free to send me an email. Your name and email address will always be kept private, unless you request otherwise.
