This isn’t my story, but one I ran across in my travels through the internet – a relative’s house completely disappears and then comes back – witnessed by two different people at the same time. And not only for the couple telling the story from their perspective, but for another couple who ALSO had trouble finding the house that day. Intrigued? Click here to read the entire story!
This morning, I became aware of myself as I was returning to my physical body from the astral, but it was unlike any experience I’ve had before.
In all my previous oobe’s I always felt like I had a physical body. I could walk around and touch things and feel the sensations. I could even feel the texture of a wall if I passed through it, or the wind rushing around me if I decided to fly.
This morning’s experience, though very brief, was very profound because my non-physical self felt completely formless. Besides the lack of body, there was no sense of linear thought or even emotions except for a light, joyful feeling.
When I actually re-entered my body, the contrast was amazing; I felt my normal awareness turn on like a light switch. Suddenly I was thinking again, and feeling the normal range of emotions that all feel like so much a part of “me.” It was actually a little disconcerting to think that so much of what I like to think of as “myself” is actually my physically focused ego, and not the spiritual being I imagined myself to be.
I realize that it’s actually a very healthy perspective to perceive that there’s a lot more of my inner being for me to experience. For the moment though my physical self feels kind of clingy, like a little kid whose parents went out and left him with a babysitter for a few hours. I’m sure I’ll get over it and integrate the experience, but for the moment it has me really appreciating the sights, sounds and sensations of being in physical reality.

NPR (National Public Radio) recently published an article mentioning that a few toys would be coming out soon that help you control your brainwaves – if you focus your thoughts correctly you’ll be able to ‘levitate’ (there’s a fan involved) a ball. Seems like a pretty physically-based kind of biofeedback tool – interesting.
And maybe as you practice, you’ll start to EXPECT levitation and be able to apply it in real life WITHOUT the tool! (I recall Robert Monroe spent so much time in the astral that one time when he tripped down the stairs he just sort of floated to the ground instead of falling and injuring himself.) I wonder if this is the next step after the Wii? LOL! (read full article)

“The energy of the mind is the essence of life.” (Aristotle) I love it when I happen upon a quote that makes a ‘click’ sound in my head when I read it – heh. So much so that I created some inspirational t-shirts and such with this quote – such as…

I had a fun dream early this morning. I was sitting in a living room with John and a friend of ours, and we were chatting about various subjects. A question came up and while I was puzzling out an answer, I started to hear a pleasant male voice in my right ear that was telling me all about the issue we were talking about! I was amazed that I was hearing it so clearly (clairaudience such as this isn’t a part of my waking reality abilities, so far), and grabbed a paper to write everything down that I was getting. It was tough at first, but I finally got into that split mode where I was listening and writing without letting my left brain get too involved.
Naturally, I have no memory of the topic we were discussing, but the dream experience itself was cool – the voice just started up in answer to my wonderings! :)
My thoughts du jour: it’s one thing to create something in your life that already exists as a possibility within your framework of belief. It’s another process altogether to create something that requires you to greatly expand your framework of belief or shift to a ‘new’ framework altogether before the creating can come to fruition. The first responds very well to the ‘be where you are and choose what you want’ idea. The second seems to be better suited to the ‘be where/who you desire to be and choose what you want’.
For me, there’s been a lot of release and detachment from the old framework/vibes. Constantly reminding myself to set something down when I keep picking the dang thing back up again. Or as Gradius & Ragan have said, keep choosing the new until you’re no longer choosing the old!
Hope this is a little bit of encouragement to those on what might have become a longer than expected path to manifesting what you want! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
