Came across this interesting article today. I've always thought that moving into the astral state was a form a meditation. You utilize the same techniques of relaxation and breathing to get to a semi or higher level of consciousness. Here is part of what Baker notes in her article:

"To be fully honest, my experience in the meditation was that once I felt my spirit body leave my physical body, I felt it shoot all the way out into the astral plane within seconds. The problem was, I could hear Nuur still guiding me through the meditation, describing my soul body as "floating inches above my physical body," when in fact I was already feeling completely weightless, out of my body, all the way out in the astral plane. But frankly, that didn't last long. The total experience lasted an hour, and I'd say about 50 of those minutes were of me coming in and out of it, as my thoughts kept bothering me about whether or not I was moving too fast for the meditation. As Nuur took me through each level of the astral plane, I'd felt like I didn't care, and that I wanted to get to the upper layers, which I felt I'd already been drawn to in the beginning. In the moments when I was really able to be present, what I visualized was a scene similar to driving through New York on an EXTREMELY foggy night, with beams of light passing me by, seemingly out of nowhere. Or, if you ever opened your eyes underwater, it was a lot like that."

Star Wars and Astral Projection

2018-05-10T08:59:00.000-05:00

At first this seemed like a silly mix of astral projection and Hollywood - yet the article does at least talk about ODEs and some of the research going on. Nice to see Buhlman noted as well. This quote was interesting:

"Allegedly, one of the first times scientists analyzed OBEs was with a 2014 paper from Andra M. Smith and Claude Messierwere published in Frontiers of Human Neuroscience. An fMRI showed a “strong deactivation of the visual cortex” when the researchers activated “the left side of several areas associated with kinesthetic imagery,” which essentially concluded that the subject did at least perceive experience the OBE. But most scientific studies involving OBEs consider them to be a kind of hallucination triggered by a neurological mechanism."

But, I don't like that it ends with hallucination as noted by other studies. Call it small progress.

Old Astral Projection Book

2017-11-28T11:19:00.001-06:00

I stumbled across this at a used bookstore and hadn't heard of it before! I see that the Kindle edition is only $1.99 and seems to be a good one to pick up - especially since this is an early set of astral projection accounts before the topic was popular.

It says that 'Astral Projection, A Record of Out-of-the-Body Experiences' by Oliver Fox (Hugh George Callaway) was first published in 1962 - but it was really based on work from the 1920s and 1930s. What's interesting to me is the description of the two techniques for initiating an out-of-body experience with either dream awakening or the pineal doorway. I had posted some government work with the pineal gland last year here. It would be great to hear people's reactions to this.

Astral Projection Induction - A Time Travel Story

2016-03-20T20:55:00.000-05:00

Andrew Basiago

Ok, if you read my post on how our government may seem to know more about astral projection that most of us who have followed it for years, I've stumbled across yet another very odd experiment in the past apparently funded by past black-ops budgets.

I happened to be listening to an older podcast of Art Bell's Midnight in the Desert radio show interviewing Andrew Basiago of time traveling fame. If you don't know who Basiago is I recommend watching this video that tells his back-story. Basiago claims that as a child he was part of a government project that was funded to construct a time travel device in the 1960s. His father was a key scientist/engineer on the project and apparently allowed his son to be a traveler in the device (quite odd in my mind).

There is quite a long story to this, but, when Basiago mentioned astral projection I stopped in my tracks and started to focus on what he was saying to Art Bell. Read this part of the interview:

(Basiago) "I can correct historical record on that -- Ingo Swann often claimed that remote viewing began at SRI in 1972. However, I and my childhood colleagues -- I like to say that we were small mediums at large -- we were doing conventional remote viewing for the Office of Naval Intelligence no later than the fall of 1969. And, in fact, we were tasked -- and it makes sense why we were because John McCain's father was then the commander of the entire pacific fleet of the United States Navy -- we were asked to determine whether lieutenant commander McCain was in the POW compound known as the Hanoi Hilton and if so where he was in the building. I imagine that they either wanted to bomb its location or maybe extricate him from that location. We were doing conventional remote viewing for United States Navy. Then they began manipulating our environment or at least our perception.

One of the things they were doing was spinning us and by spinning us in due to induce inducing out of body experiences. During one of those OBEs I came to a mechanical limit beyond which my consciousness could not could not go any any farther. When I described that machine or that limit to the astral plane -- this was a direct quote from the lady from DARPA who was debriefing me -- she said others have described it; we think it's the technical infrastructure that's propagating the hologram that we find ourselves in -- we're calling it the matrix. This was upon me returning to my body from an induced OBE -- induced by being physically spun clockwise on my back beneath a spiral image on the ceiling at thirty three rotations per minute -- which is certainly a curious number in many ways; for masonic connection, to connection to the recording industry with the 33 rpm records, etc. But we we not only were going out of body but when I reached into physical limit of those OBEs one time that's what the debriefing lady from DARPA said and this was what? 29 years before the production and release of The Matrix trilogy??"

(Art Bell) "I can clearly see how the spinning you talked about, physical spinning, could lead to an alternative...altered state I guess." (Basiago) "Yes, and that was what I call astral time travel. They deracinated our minds almost an shamanic way -- a very tribal way and we left our bodies and went elsewhere and we were questioned about where we went. So that again is very fuzzy logic time travel."

Rotating clockwise on your back? 33 rotations per minute? Spiral image on the ceiling? Apparently, there is more to understanding how to induce an OBE than meets the eye.

Astral Travel Triggers

Yesterday I recalled a story told to me by an acquaintance through the family of my wife. He noted that when he was about 10 years old he spontaneously had an out-of-body experience while sitting in a grassy field outdoors. He said that he felt what he thought was his body floating up and hovering high over the field where he could see his physical body below. I cannot remember if he thought he had just rested for a cat nap when this occurred. But, the important point is that his astral moment was spontaneous.

Oddly, I see others that claim you cannot have an astral projection experience unless you meditate, have detoxed, practice deep breathing and use discipline of thought. Take a look at these quote fragments from this article on Astral Travel, Telepathy and Dream Control:

"Restoring perfect health (important condition, freeing resources of the mind/consciousness from attending emergencies arising in your physical body etc..) This is best achieved by full physical detoxification and mind/thought control...Pure intentions - not harming anyone and anything, unconditional ACCEPTANCE of everyone else, full forgiveness for other people's mistakes. Note that people make mistakes and hurt others simply because their awareness and understanding are limited...Vegan diet (important condition, that seems to free resources of the mind/consciousness from unnecessary metabolism etc..) Eating little, drinking PURE water, NO dinners. Since most of the astral travel happens at night we need every resource from our mind. Metabolising food seems to take a lot of conscious resources from the mind....Meditation (I practice @2 hours a day for several years now) . Make sure that you choose a good teacher for it..."

Really? That's not what I've read in many of the astral books I own. If you look at this link from Above Top Secret written by someone doing it for the first time you can see that triggering by disrupting the sleep cycle is just enough. Also, like my friend's story above - if you've had the experience when you were young it may be much easier to trigger an event. As you can see in that link:

"The young woman told Messier she had been triggering out of body experiences since she was four or five years old. She’d first done so when she was bored during 'sleep time' at preschool. 'She discovered she could elicit the experience of moving above her body and use this as a distraction during the time kids were asked to nap,' the study reports. She continued to perform out-of-body experiences — or 'extra corporeal experiences,' as the study calls them — as she grew to adulthood, typically as an aid to sleep. Where others might count sheep, she willed herself to leave her body."

Clearly, both techniques work as the author in that link points out so well in the quote below - spontaneously in a nap or sleep cycle or directed as in a meditative or edge of consciousness moment.

"One moonless dark night, I had just curled up in my sleeping bag. I had just begun to drift off into sleep when suddenly I found myself outside the tent, kind of walking/floating around in the dark. I became alarmed and felt really disoriented. I could not figure out how I had gotten outside the tent and what I was doing there. I cried out for my cousin who was in the tent sleeping. But he did not hear me. I went into the screen tent looking for help. I yelled as loud as I could and in the next instant I was back in the tent dripping in sweat."

The Strange Reincarnation Account of Arthur Yensen

2016-01-16T09:29:00.002-06:00

While searching for some more other-dimensional accounts while in the astral plane I stumbled across the NDE experience of an Arthur Yensen. It is actually quite an interesting story. Seems that while attempting to live the hobo experience during the Depression, he had hitched a ride with someone, subsequently had a car accident and was injured. During that time he experienced a spectacular vision of a spiritual dimension.

One part that really caught my eye was this quote from him:

"Reincarnation certainly explains a lot of things that would be hard to account for otherwise. From my experience I'm convinced we have all lived and died many times. The reason we don't remember our former lives is because our vast soul memories are not transferred to our baby brains at birth. All we know in this life is what we learned in past lifetimes. That would be the reason why some things are so much easier for us to learn than others. For example, Mozart didn't have to learn music because he already knew it.

One of the good things about reincarnation is that at the beginning of each lifetime we are cleared of all past prejudices, learning blocks and wrong teachings, and are ready for a fresh start - just like a new term at school - and, like school, when we have learned enough of life's lessons, we graduate and don't have to come back to this Earth anymore, except as volunteers to teach stragglers."

Be sure to read his entire account!

Using a Candle Flame for Astral Projection

2016-01-10T16:29:00.001-06:00

Irina Patrascu - Creative Commons

I thought this was an interesting find by Steve Jones on using a candle to assist with astral projection. I had never really thought about it much but in my quest to look deeper at both Kabbalistic and magick traditions candles do come up quite often as the means to a deeper trance-like state. Also, the candle symbolizes other things as known to ritualistic activities.

Take a look at this quote from the astral pulse site (which I think Steve Jones was referring to):

"When you have rejoined the flame and your two energies are one, you are ready to move your consciousness, your mind and all that is within you into the flame. Gaze into the flame now for a few moments and close your eyes. Do you still see the flame burned into your vision? Keep this picture with you and move the light within you into the flame. See it growing as it fills with your essence. Allow it to grow into a light large enough for you to step through. When your spirit light has filled the flame, your subconscious mind will follow. All that remains is for you to convince your conscious mind to join the walk through the doorway and you are well on your way to a successful astral projection!"

Steve notes in his blog that the candle flame meditation acts as the lure to pull your astral body out. Here's another tutorial (quite psychedelic!!) on YouTube that has some interesting candle techniques.

Astral Projection and the Power of Words

2016-01-04T20:55:00.000-06:00

How strange it was to come back to this blog after five years and discover a very unusual article on astral projection that really had no bearing on what I had been searching for. Seems that something is pushing me on this revival journey to the astral plane. But, I have to give a bit of a backlog on this first.

I have always been very interested in philosophy in my life and even spent some months in graduate school at a major university in their Philosophy of Science program. Unfortunately, I had to drop out of the program due to lack of funding (and other considerations). But, one thing that I found myself very interested from that program was the philosophy of language - especially Wittgenstein. The deeper philosophic part of this path is irrelevant except for the fact that Wittgenstein led me to how language shapes our reality.

Jump ahead 30 years and add to that so of the more Sethian beliefs that we create our own realities. But, the real question behind that is how? As I have read through some works by shamans, Jewish mystics, and eastern philosophies it has been starting to dawn on me that our reality is shaped by language - and, more importantly, words themselves. Long story short -- this eventually led me to Kabbalistic beliefs about how words create reality -- now imagine how surprised I was this weekend when I stumbled into the article titled A Kabbalistic Guide to Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection -- take a look at this particular quote!!

"The projection of consciousness has been an integral part of kabbalistic teachings, from the Merkavah (Chariot) Riders and their journeys to the starry Palaces (Hekelot) of the invisible world, to Traveling in Spirit Visions with the early adepts of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the 19th can early 20th centuries. While a wide variety of approaches has been formulated to assist the disciples of these diverse schools, much of their techniques require an extensive amount of preparatory teachings and/or ritual assistance. For those who have little or no knowledge of traditional 10-12th century Merkavah doctrines, or no interest in learning the necessary signs, symbols, and invocations for Golden Dawn style techniques and their ‘spin offs’, yet want a Hermetic approach to their inner world, there is a solution. It is also simple, direct, and does not require an extensive amount of visualization or creative imaging."

What? How did my research into kabbalistic beliefs on the power of words lead to astral projection? What really shocked me in this article was the focus on projecting from the neck rather than from the body or the top of the head as taught by many others. Take a look at this quote:

"When going to sleep, or even just relaxing a few minutes, turn your attention to the area of your ‘Adam’s Apple’ and imagine a brilliant blue-black (or indigo/ultra-violet) sphere there, about the size of a tennis ball. Make it brilliant an translucent, as though it were illuminated from the inside, with its center point around the thyroid gland. It should be large enough to also touch the back of the nape of the neck, and if done very large (as Regardie suggests)[xvii], it may even have its farthest edges at the bridge of the nose and brushing the thymus gland, or heart. What is important here, is that the image is three-dimensional, and not just as a flat plate in front of you. Thus, the sphere, or ball, will encompass your neck, and parts of your head."

I hope that is enough to get you to read the article. If you don't understand Kabbalistic thinking, that's ok. The key to the article is the section on how to project in a way which was really quite novel to me!

Astral Projection and Pineal Gland - What our Government Knows

2015-12-28T10:48:00.002-06:00

Well, I understand that it has been nearly 5 years since I've posted in this blog. So much has happened in my life from graduate school, found and lost kinships to many deaths near and dear to me. It's been probably the most difficult time in my life. However, I've always kept a watchful eye on any out of body types of reports or articles but have left dormant my own practice and abilities.

Where does that leave us in 2016? One thing that has bothered me in the last 5 years has been the increasing Government disclosure on funded programs to enhance OBE abilities. I've read many books in this half decade and keep stumbling across bits and pieces of evidence that our Government at very high, clandestine levels has been utilizing psychic and astral abilities in both internal espionage and supposed exo-planetary communications.

Now, I know this sounds quite odd that this would be a surprise to me considering the remote viewing (RV) military experiments conducted in the 70s and 80s. But, the extra element that wasn't in the RV material was the work with exo-biological communications - or, in other words, communication with aliens. If you haven't read Dan Sherman's 'Above Black' I strongly suggest that you do. You can find it for free here and here. Also, this good interview is enlightening background as well.

I'll let you read the story but the quick background is that hidden behind the black projects of our Government is a higher level of projects that is so secret that even the President may or may not know of it. One of these projects that has been hinted at is a communications program with aliens which originated from UFO/alien contact in the 1950s and extended from there.

I really don't care about getting into all of the UFO mythos right now. So, where am I going with this? Simply that those of us who have practiced astral projection without a giant government agenda supporting our efforts might be missing out on where secret governmental science is in stimulating an astral response.

Read this quote and tell me what you think:

"A lot of beings use the pineal gland and their light body to project their consciousness and inner selves to other physical locations and then send that information back through that connection into their physical bodies and then change the vibrations of their physical bodies to match the vibration of the location that they are at and then the body teleports to that location and rejoins the consciousness or what some people are saying are having out-of-body experiences or projecting their minds – a lot of different terminology for what these more advanced beings were doing."

This was taken from an interview with Cory Goode which I also suggest that you read. These are only a couple of sources. But, as you dig deeper you find that pineal gland stimulation is part of a larger program to use OBEs for both national defense as well as somewhat more nefarious things (always in the name of defense, of course). What you have to remember, however, is that material like this is shrouded with layers and layers of cover stories to confuse, deflect and mix the real information with surreal information.

But, I do think the work using the pineal gland is definitely true. Just what it is exactly is hard to determine. Clearly, some earlier works have pointed at the pineal gland and OBEs before. There are conspiracy theories like this one - which I think is over-the-top silliness. I just don't know where the original research came from. Nevertheless, you should keep a watchful eye on ways to stimulate the pineal if you want to enhance your astral projection efforts.

Astral Projection Guides

2011-04-24T17:09:00.001-05:00

I've always wondered who and what my guides would be during an astral journey. Many authors have discussed this aspect of astral projection - both the upside and the downside.

One thing I've learned recently from about six books focusing on mostly the afterlife (psychics, mediums, monks, NDE, etc) is that you must meditate, pray or focus on asking positive guides to help you on your journey. I've read it time and again - ask for help and you will receive.

An example comes from Robert Peterson's 'Lessons Out of the Body' - "Then I looked to my right and saw 'Him.' It was 'the master.' He looked about forty years old.... I knew I had seen him before, although I couldn't pin down when or where. I remember seeing him lift a fully grown man with one hand....I was one of his many students and apprentices...."

Masters seem to appear when you need and ask for help. But, does that always mean an out of body experience is positive? Robert Peterson goes on to note that you can run into other spirits who are not quite so positive. "I came out of my body and was propelled forward...Around me were objects and people. The people I saw didn't look evil, but they didn't look friendly either....They looked dirty....The nearest man looked like he was prepared to fight me. He looked mean and hostile and I could tell by the people's postures and facial expressions that I was being accosted by an astral lynch mob."

From Llewellyn comes this note - "It is true that in a small minority of instances people have reported negative experiences in the astral realm. A few have encountered sinister forms and some even claim to have engaged in psychic combat with them. "No sooner had this unseen force lifted me a few feet than it suddenly hurled me back into myself and I came to," Robert A. Reese wrote of his experience in Fate magazine. "It seemed that something hideous was trying to overpower me."

My advice? Head right back into your body - don't let any negativity get in your way and always ask for positive light or guidance.

Visions in the Astral Plane - Some Thoughts

2010-02-25T14:34:00.012-06:00

I recently had some interesting experiences around visual images within my mind and their relation to astral travel and remote viewing. I've started to discover that the types of imagery within my mind have different properties based on the kind of inner visual streaming I'm doing. This is different than projections into the astral plane - more akin to brain images.

Let's look a bit deeper at this. Have you ever examined how visual images form in your mind while thinking about the differences based on you state or current level of emotion? Many times I've had odd images streaming away in my mind that I've attributed to daydreams, light sleep, dreams or visualization. Never have I thought about the properties of each.

This all came together for me one morning where I had trouble falling asleep after a very vivid dream. Later, as I was attempting to go back to sleep I noticed something odd about how my inner visions appearing in my mind's eye. The first thing I noticed was how visions started slipping into my mind as I was nearing a light sleep. They were distinctly in a different part of my sleep vision than my dream or a memory from the day before.

If I can explain it this way - the visual images from the dream seem to form somewhat above my eyesight - near the third eye. They are very strong at first but fade rapidly. Whereas, the visual image of my memory talking to a person yesterday seemed to appear directly in front of my closed eyes - mostly clear with colors and discernible faces. But, the visions that were randomly slipping through my mind seems to be slightly fluid - with some form and were to either the left or right side of my closed, direct eyesight line.

These images would start to appear such that when I focused on them more would appear while flowing by. After a minute or two I could actually start to make out a location such as trees, buildings, rooms, etc. Now, I've never been successful at remote viewing but I think this is a start.

As an experiment I would like someone to comment with two coordinate numbers that I have no idea what they represent other than a geographic location known only to the sender. Perhaps I'll be able to use my new inner vision technique to understand remote viewing better.

If you want to learn more about remote viewing check out the Defense Intelligence Agency's CRV Manual.

Astral Projection Stories - Early History

2010-01-20T11:11:00.009-06:00

It is interesting to trace the history of astral projection and reincarnation doctrine among ancient cultures. In spite of the decided opinions, and the differing theories of the various writers on this subject, who would give Egypt, or India, or the lost Atlantis, as the birthplace of the doctrine, there does not seem to be a belief that such ideas are but attempts to attribute a universal intuitive belief to some specific culture. Whether the doctrine of Reincarnation ever "originated" anywhere, as a new and distinct doctrine is uncertain. It may have sprang into existence whenever and wherever man arrived at a stage of intellectual development sufficient to enable him to form a mental conception of a Something that lived after Death.

No matter from what source this belief in a "ghost" originated, it must be admitted that it is found among all peoples, and is apparently an universal idea. And, running along with it in ancient cultures, we find that there is, and always has been, an idea, more or less vague and indistinct, that somehow, someway, sometime, this "ghost" of the person returns to earthly existence and takes upon itself a new fleshly garment-a new body.

Here, then, is where the idea of Reincarnation begins-everywhere, at a certain stage of human mental development. It runs parallel with the "ghost" idea, and seems bound up with that conception in nearly every case. When man evolves a little further, he begins to reason that if the "ghost" is immortal, and survives the death of the body, and returns to take upon itself a new body, then it must have lived before the last birth, and therefore must have a long chain of lives behind it. This is the second step. The third step is when man begins to reason that the next life is dependent upon something done or left undone in the present life. And upon these three fundamental ideas the doctrine of Reincarnation has been built.

Spiritualists claim that in addition to this universal idea, which is more or less intuitive, people have received more or less instruction, from time to time, from certain advanced souls which have passed on to higher planes of existence, and who are now called the Masters, Adepts, Teachers, Race Guides, etc., etc. But whatever may be the explanation, it remains a truth that man seems to have worked out for himself, in all times and in all places, first, an idea of a "ghost" which persists after the body dies; and second, that this "ghost" has lived before in other bodies, and will return again to take on a new body. There are various ideas regarding "heavens" and "hells," but underlying them all there persists this idea of re-birth in some of its phases.

The earlier travelers in Africa have reported that here and there they found evidences and traces of what was to them "a strange belief" in the future return of the soul to a new body on earth. The early explorers of America found similar traditions and beliefs among the Native Americans, survivals of which exist even unto this day. It is related of a number of tribes, in different parts of the world, that they place the bodies of their dead children by the roadside, in order that their souls may be given a good chance to find new bodies by reason of the approaching of many traveling pregnant women who pass along the road. A number of these cultures hold to the idea of a complex soul, composed of several parts, in which they resemble the Egyptians, Hindus, Chinese, and in fact all mystical and occult philosophies.

The Fiji Islanders are said to believe in a black soul and a white soul, the former of which remains with the buried body and disintegrates with it, while the white soul leaves the body and wanders as a "ghost," and afterward, tiring of the wandering, returns to life in a new body. The natives of Greenland are said to believe in an astral body, which leaves the body during sleep, but which perishes as the body disintegrates after death; and a second soul which leaves the body only at death, and which persists until it is reborn at a later time. In fact, nearly all of the primitives races, and those semi-civilized, show traces of a belief in a complex soul, and a trace of doctrine of Reincarnation in some form.

Google Doodle References Unexplained Phenomenon - Mystery Solved

2009-09-05T09:17:00.007-05:00

In an odd move today - the Google Doodle is referencing the search term 'Unexplained Phenomena'. The amount of speculation has been starting up around the internet asking why Google would modify their doodle this way - showing a UFO. Some have mentioned that the search term itself has been trending lately. Bloggers and Twitter users alike have been noting the logo.

The only UFO event that comes close is the UFO incident at Exeter on Sept. 3, 1965 - one of the most famous UFO events in history. There is a UFO Festival in Exeter today.

Oddly the clue to the Google Doodle secret seems to be on Twitter. If you go to Google's Twitter account you see the following entry:

1.12.12 25.15.21.18 15 1.18.5 2.5.12.15.14.7 20.15 21.19 http://twitpic.com/giyxf

With simple substitution this reads:

A.L.L. Y.O.U.R O A.R.E B.E.L.O.N.G T.O U.S 'All Your O Are Belong to Us'

So, no real mystery here. They just control the univers of O's!

Astral Colors

2009-07-06T21:57:00.003-05:00

The term "astral," so frequently employed by all occultists, is difficult to explain or define except to those who have pursued a regular course of study in occult science. For the purpose of the present consideration, it is enough to say that over and above the ordinary physical sense plane there is another and more subtle plane, known as the Astral Plane. Every human being possesses the innate and inherent faculty of sensing the things of this astral plane, by means of an extension or enlargement of the powers of the ordinary senses, so to speak. But, in the majority of persons in the present stage of development, these astral senses are lying dormant, and only here and there do we find individuals who are able to sense on the astral plane, although in the course of evolution the entire race will be able to do so, of course. The colors of the human aura, mentioned in the preceding two chapters, and which arise from the various mental and emotional states, belong to the phenomena of the astral plane, and hence bear the name of "the[24] astral colors."

Belonging to the astral plane, and not to the ordinary physical plane, they are perceived only by the senses functioning on the astral plane, and are invisible to the ordinary physical plane sight. But, to those who have developed the astral sight, or clairvoyance, these colors are as real as are the ordinary colors to the average person, and their phenomena have been as carefully recorded by occult science as have the physical plane colors by physical science. The fact that to the ordinary physical senses they are invisible, does not render them any the less real. Remember, in this connection, that to the blind man our physical colors do not exist. And, for that matter, the ordinary colors do not exist to "color blind" persons. The ordinary physical plane person is simply "color blind" to the astral colors—that's all.

On the astral plane each shade of mental or emotional state has its corresponding astral color, the latter manifesting when the form appears. It follows then, of course, that when once the occultist has the key to this color correspondence, and thus is able to perceive the astral colors by means of his astral vision, he also is able to read the mental and emotional states of any person within the range[25] of his vision, as easily as you are now reading the printed words of this book.

I have stated therein that the prana-aura is colorless like a diamond or clear water. This is true in the average case, but in the case of a person of very strong physical vitality or virility, the prana-aura takes on, at times, a faint warm pink tinge, which is really a reflection from the red astral color, of the meaning of which color you shall now learn.

Like their physical plane counterparts, all the astral colors are formed from three Primary Colors, namely (1) Red; (2) Blue; and (3) Yellow. From these three primary colors, all other colors are formed. Following the Primary Colors, we find what are known as the Secondary Colors, namely: (1) Green, derived from a combination of Yellow and Blue; (2) Orange, formed from a combination of Yellow and Red; and (3) Purple, formed from a combination of Red and Blue. Further combinations produce the other colors, as for instance, Green and Purple form Olive;[26] Orange and Purple form Russet; Green and Orange form Citrine.

Black is called an absence of color, while White is really a harmonious blending of all colors, strange as this may appear to one who has not studied the subject. The blending of the Primary Colors in varied proportions produce what is known as the "hues" of color. Adding white to the hues, we obtain "tints;" while mixing Black produces "shades."

Ghost Adventures Back in June

2009-04-14T22:02:00.011-05:00

If you haven't been following the Ghost Adventures series on the Travel Channel, I highly recommend that you do so. I've watched quite a few ghost shows over the years and most do not impress me at all. However, Ghost Adventures is a different story.

The basic premise is this: three filmmakers get locked into a site considered 'most haunted' for the night - they have no way out. Then they work to draw the ghosts out if possible. Probably the single most interesting part of the show is that they get the best evidence in my opinion.

No doubt this is a great direction for spirit and astral dimension research in the future.

Reptilian Creature in MO Secret Cave

2009-01-25T10:33:00.003-06:00

This is one of the scariest creature reports I've ever come across. I found this at: http://www.burlingtonnews.net/tunnels3.html

CARTHAGE

Pat Garrett's Reptilian Experience Reported to Mary Sutherland, BUFO Paranormal and UFO Radio
Incident Date: March 7, 2004

This past Sunday...the 7th. A friend and I were riding two ATVs in a place called, "The Underground" it is a public and private storage facility in Carthage, Mo. What makes this place such a desirable storage facility is that it is all underground...hence the name. They are constantly expanding this place and there are miles and miles of carved out caves in there...and it goes pretty deep. This facility stores thousands and thousands of food containers, all dehydrated for the Navy...I have seen them and it is public knowledge around here. It is also a fall out shelter able to hold some 40,000 to 50,000 people. I tell you this to give some sense of the vastness of the place. I worked there as a subcontractor some 9 years ago...I helped build the office spaces up on top. I started to explore then...about once a month and did so all the way until this past Sunday. However, I never went as far or as deep before either.

It was fun to take the ATVs and cruise underground...no rain or weather problems...ever. We were approx 8 miles in and I'd say maybe 500 feet deep when we took a turn down an area that was marked "Naval Authoritative Zone" I remember making a comment about the Navy getting a ship down there and said that was an easy posting. The walls became more defined as in: polished or finished and this was striking because this was supposed to be a newly blasted area...totally backward I would think...still thinking nothing was wrong we kept going, actually increasing speed because the floor was paved now and we could go faster. We came up on an unusual painted pattern on the floor and I thought, "cool graffiti...kids have been down here...we're safe...won't get into any trouble." The road dipped down and then it took a 90' turn to the left...we had no warning and we were going too fast. I knew we were going to hit the wall. BUT we DIDN'T...we passed through some kind of projection of the cave siding...although I don't know how it was done...it was real looking. We passed into a whole new road system...this one was large, and much older than where we came from. We started to smell an odor...musty,damp, growing stronger as we went deeper on smell. The lighting decreased as well probably 60% less than the other area's...we turned on our headlights. We continued on at about 5 to 7 miles an hour for about 5 min and we noticed it was getting cooler...which was to me, very strange...since once inside a cave a certain distance...the temp says the same. We made a right turn and started to come up on what I thought was a rest area on the side...about 40 feet away.

I thought it looked like a pair of fountains until they moved. We both stopped immediately. We were approx. 30' feet away now and what we saw were two creatures, one was very tall at least 7' feet maybe more and very powerfully built...reddish in color and the other was smaller about 6' feet but it was not red in color but pale, like an albino and it was not as powerfully built as the other. They looked like REPTILES...living, walking, intelligent beings...not human...not warm blooded. Reptiles! I know it sounds crazy but it is true. They said nothing but I did get a strong sense from the big one. A malevolence, evil presence of some kind. My friend screamed and we turned around...a power turn. We started to go back out when my friend said, "the big one" was after us. I looked back and it was following us. I had the overwhelming feeling that if it caught us that harm would come to us. We passed through the wall projection and I looked back and saw the thing raise it's arm and it had a weapon of some sorts. It fired and hit the ATV my friend was on.

The engine died and he stopped. I told him to jump on...and he did. I gunned it and then my friend said, "STOP!" I slowed down and he he said, "LOOK!". I looked back and the thing had stopped at the graffiti on the cave floor/road. The ATV was on it's side of the graffiti/symbol. It was obvious the thing would not cross the marking. I slowed more...we were now about 75' feet away. I stopped and the three of us...Me, my friend and the creature/reptile/man thing just looked at each other...for about 15 sec. And let me tell you...that is a long time. Then I started to leave...It stayed there waiting and not moving until we were out of sight. As soon as we cleared the cave I got on my cell phone and called the Sheriff's Dept. I was told that they would not come out and that "Underground Security" would handle it. Then they hung up! By law they are not to do that...We can hang up on anyone...but a government office, be it City or Federal can not hang up on you.

Anyway, I was shocked and scared and we took off across the outside of the underground over to my truck and sure enough...Underground Security was waiting for us. We were told to leave, not to tell anybody about this...that if I come back...The Navy would press charges. I was also told that I had 10 min to leave or I would be taken in. What can I say...we left. It has been 3 days since this has happened and I am still shaken. I am a powerful person, 6'4" and 265 lbs and I have never in my life be afraid for my life...until this past Sunday. I lost my one of my two ATV's.Vin#5y4Ag0o1y61a071120. As far as I know...it is still down there. My friend will not talk about it and I have not heard anything from anyone about it. I did call the Sheriff's Dept. and they said they never got a call from me.

Well, that is my story...I have never had anything strange happen in my life and I am very very concerned about this. I can tell you this...I had an urge to kill the things I saw down there...I don't know if that is a natural reaction as most people have a natural revulsion towards reptiles or because of my faith and the feeling of evil I had...or what. All I know is that they are real...and I wish I could do something...anything to combat or help against these things. Take care all and thank you again for letting me write this and share this experience.

Astral Projection Testimonial

2009-01-17T16:01:00.003-06:00

This comes from the amazing testimonials of Dr. Riblet Hout, a osteopathic doctor from Indiana. He was blessed with an amazing amount of psychic abilities that he tried very hard to hide in order to protect his profession. Yet, he was a healer and astral traveler who could communicate with spirits.

I'm currently reading his memoirs and found this interesting story:

"I first placed myself in a comfortable position in an easy chair that I usually use for my experiences, in the locked study, and sat back for a few minutes of reverie and relaxation....So, I sat back resting, my eyes closed in this comfortable chair, and George [a spirit guide] appeared instantly at my side, just as soon as I had relaxed and had beguy to breathe deeply and rhythmically.

Simply and easily, and almost suddenly but nearly inperceptibly, I felt myself drawn out of my body, through my head, at the back of my neck.

This time I was surrounded by light - bright light - all about me, and a feeling of power, a feeling of energy, surging through everything. And this particular time, no force was needed to jerk me free from physical bonds.

And then I floated vertically and easily upward, out and away from that physical room. After a brief sensation of drifting upward, I found myself in a new but very natural environment. I seemed to be in a grove or park which extended as far as I could see. All was beauty, symmetry, and naturalness....I found myself in the center of a circle of trees; I was sitting in a comfortable chair....And then I sat up and looked and watched the approaching spirits with interest. They came closer, and I was both elated and surprised when I recognized them. The were old, almost-forgotten friends from my old hometown. And they were coming up to greet me.

And in this peaceful setting my glance instinctively took me down to the path, toward which all the others were looking, and there comingg radiantly toward me in all the etheric presence, walked my arisen mother....My being fully blended with hers, and this moment seemed the supreme happiness of my existence."

Tunguska Explosion in Siberia Caused by Smaller Asteroid?

2009-01-16T07:14:00.005-06:00

The stunning amount of forest devastation at Tunguska a century ago in Siberia may have been caused by an asteroid only a fraction as large as previously published estimates, Sandia National Laboratories supercomputer simulations suggest.
“The asteroid that caused the extensive damage was much smaller than we had thought,” says Sandia principal investigator Mark Boslough of the impact that occurred June 30, 1908. “That such a small object can do this kind of destruction suggests that smaller asteroids are something to consider. Their smaller size indicates such collisions are not as improbable as we had believed.”
Because smaller asteroids approach Earth statistically more frequently than larger ones, he says, “We should be making more efforts at detecting the smaller ones than we have till now.”
The new simulation — which more closely matches the widely known facts of destruction than earlier models — shows that the center of mass of an asteroid exploding above the ground is transported downward at speeds faster than sound. It takes the form of a high-temperature jet of expanding gas called a fireball.
This causes stronger blast waves and thermal radiation pulses at the surface than would be predicted by an explosion limited to the height at which the blast was initiated.
“Our understanding was oversimplified,” says Boslough, “We no longer have to make the same simplifying assumptions, because present-day supercomputers allow us to do things with high resolution in 3-D. Everything gets clearer as you look at things with more refined tools.”

Sandia is a National Nuclear Security Administration laboratory.
The new interpretation also accounts for the fact that winds were amplified above ridgelines where trees tended to be blown down, and that the forest at the time of the explosion, according to foresters, was not healthy. Thus previous scientific estimates had overstated the devastation caused by the asteroid, since topographic and ecologic factors contributing to the result had not been taken into account.
“There’s actually less devastation than previously thought,” says Boslough, “but it was caused by a far smaller asteroid. Unfortunately, it’s not a complete wash in terms of the potential hazard, because there are more smaller asteroids than larger ones.”
Boslough and colleagues achieved fame more than a decade ago by accurately predicting that that the fireball caused by the intersection of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter would be observable from Earth.
Simulations show that the material of an incoming asteroid is compressed by the increasing resistance of Earth’s atmosphere. As it penetrates deeper, the more and more resistant atmospheric wall causes it to explode as an airburst that precipitates the downward flow of heated gas.

Update on UFO Spotted at Windfarm - An Eyewitness

2009-01-14T10:54:00.002-06:00

From the Louth Leader News

Rebecca Hodgson's horse was spooked by a mysterious light in the sky

ONE WEEK on since the Louth Leader broke the news of UFO sightings above a wrecked wind turbine in Conisholme, a new eyewitness has come forward.

Rebecca Hodgson of Louth was at her horse's stables off London Road, Louth Saturday January 3 - the night before the 65 ft blade fell from the turbine in Conisholme - when her horse was spooked by a 'flashing orange ball' in the sky.

Rebecca described how her horse stopped suddenly and gazed up at the sky as a bright orange light circled above the turbines.

She said: "It was really bright and glowing, it went dimmer and then moved across horizontally".

Shocked at her horse's reaction, Rebecca called her mum and sister shouting there was a UFO in the sky.

"Animals are more susceptible to things like that. Obviously we get a lot of airplanes flying over but she never normally gets bothered by them. I instantly thought it was strange".

The story of the UFO sightings and the mystery of the falling blade took the world by storm with national newspapers and news crews the site of the wind farm.

The fallen blade has since been sent to Germany for forensic testing.

A spokesperson from the wind farm company, Ecotricity said: ""The blade has been sent to Germany for analysis and hopefully we will get the results in by the end of the week – if there is a rational answer out there, we will find it".

See today's Louth Leader for the full article on the world - and beyond - coming to Conisholme.

Did a UFO Hit This Wind Turbine?

Here's an odd news story about witnesses seeing lights in the sky the very same night as the damage to a large wind turbine.

Robert Bruce's New Energy Ways System

2008-11-08T08:52:00.004-06:00

I happened to stumble upon this reference to one of Robert Bruce's interesting concept called the New Energy Ways System. Although I've only just started reading about it, it looks like it is based on eastern religious ways to move and sense energy in your body. Here's a quote:

"NEW [New Energy Ways] is a simple yet powerful method of directly simulating your energy body with your tactile senses - a true armchair system. It is easy to learn and to use. The majority of students move energy well and experience noticeable energy movement sensations during their first practice session. Energy movements are felt with a variety of predictable sensations, including warmth, tingling, heaviness, tightness, bone deep tickling and buzzing."

The thought behind this is to teach yourself how to sense energy paths first by direct stimulation of your hands and limbs and then by memory or sensation. Energy flow will then start to become something you can control. Here's an example exercise:

"Another demonstration exercise is to hold your hands out in front, palms facing, 12 inches apart. Imagine and 'feel' that you have a tennis ball sized globe of energy held in the right. Next, bounce this ball between your hands, without moving your hands. Imagine and 'feel' this ball bouncing from palm to palm. Keep doing this for half a minute, then extend the bounce action so the ball is passing 'through' your hands, several inches each side."

I think this most interesting aspect of this is the goal of accelerating your spiritual development. More can be found here: New Energy Ways System.

William Buhlman Inteview on Astral Projection

Great interview with William Buhlman

Astral Travel: Albert Taylor Pt.1

2007-12-11T21:42:00.001-06:00

Parapsychology researcher Dr. Albert Taylor returned to discuss out-of-body experiences (OBEs) as well as physical attacks by spirit entities. The onset of an OBE typically involves three sensations, he detailed: 1) paralysis, where the soul disconnects from the body, 2) vibration, as the transition begins to the astral plane and 3) a roaring or electronic sound. These sensations to get to that state are akin to "returning to your natural state of your soul", he noted. You can also set your alarm in the middle of your sleep to wake up and then set yourself into a relaxed meditative state. This seems to help getting to an astral event.

There are a number of levels to the astral plane, he said, and as you rise higher vibrationally, you move upwards. Beyond the astral, is the etheric plane, a light body realm where Taylor said he has also journeyed. In those planes he has experienced other souls. "Going into the astral plane and expecting not to have an encounter with ghosts or something, is like going to the ocean and not seeing fish," he said. There seem to be many levels in the astral planes with entities which you can sense.

Taylor has appeared on Art Bell's Coast to Coast a number of times. You can find the audio podcasts here. And here is a select interview:

The Mysterious Doorway of Aramu Muru

2007-12-08T11:45:00.001-06:00

Located in the remote mountain region of southern Peru is a mysterious place revered by local Peruvians as 'The Place of the Gods'. Known as the Doorway of Aramu Muru, it stands near the border with Bolivia on Lake Titicaca where Inca legend says life was first created on Earth.

The doorway, a squarish stone cut-out in a flat, cliff outcropping, is surrounded by mystery. Hidden in a land full of Inca ceremonial chulpas and other rock-carved temples, the doorway is purported to be a passageway to another dimension. Locals have claimed that people have disappeared and reappeared near the door. Many refuse to get close to the door claiming it to be a portal for the ancient gods. Some have noted strange, tall men accompanied by glowing balls of lights and walking through the doorway.

Some travelers have experienced falling throught the doorway and traveling to another dimension. One witness, Jerry Wills, said "My experience here has been fantastic! I believe I have actually been through the doorway, traveling into another dimension past the universe."

He described a voyage through the universe to another realm. Jerry story continues:

"'I'm back...,' I quietly whispered. I felt it a struggle to move or speak. As I moved closer to my wife I heard her quietly sobbing. I moved closer. When asked if she was all right, I was told how she had seen me vanish. One moment I had been there and the next I seemed to fade away. 'Where were you?', she asked, 'I was afraid you might not come back...' It was clear that she had been frightened by what she had seen. I tried to explain but couldn't relate my experiences to her. I needed time to think. I needed time to understand how to put into words what I had experienced."

You can read more at Doorway to the Universe. No one really understands how to open this portal but it does seem to open if you approach it in the correct way. This is definitely on my future travel plans!
