Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Astral Travel - The Secret For Beginners

By Rick J Griffiths

The last time you were having a dream where you were flying, you were experiencing what astral travel was like. Astral travel is the way the astral body moves about in the astral plane, and it does so by flying. You simply think about where it is you want to go and what it is you want and once your physical mind and body are asleep the subconscious mind and astral body are off to fulfill your desires.

It is important to know that astral travel is not the same thing as dreaming. Dreaming is a more scientific condition. It is essentially your minds way of dealing with the stresses of the day, playing them out in various ways as you dream. Regular dreaming can sometimes be remembered, and sometimes not, but there is a definite difference between that and astral travel.

The dreams that you wake up and remember really well are actual astral travel experiences. It is highly recommended that you keep a journal of these dreams. Whether you wake up in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning you should write down what it is you remember. Granted at first, what you remember may not make much sense at first. However, it will all come together later down the road.

Just like regular dreams help you work out the stresses of your life, astral travel dreams also have extreme benefits. The types of astral travel experiences you have will be unique to you, as will be the benefits. This is why it is important for you to keep track of them rather than try to compare them with someone elses.

The primary benefits of writing down your astral projection experiences stem from an expansion of your spirituality. Through astral projection, you will become more aware of your surroundings and the inner workings of your soul. Once you truly know yourself, you will have an overall sense of well-being and peace. And because astral projection causes us to use parts of our brains that are seldom used, it will make you a sharper person enhancing memory and mental awareness.

A third benefit to astral travel is that it can also increase your psychic abilities. Many people who practice astral travel report having an increased ability to sense spirits, use of telepathy and precognition.

This is due to the fact that when you astral project and astral travel you are tapping into spiritual energies that you ignored before.

Even skeptics who didnt believe that astral projection and astral travel were real, experienced that ability to see and read peoples auras.

Finally, a fourth benefit that most people enjoy is the pure and simple excitement and adventure that comes with astral travel. The ability to go wherever it is they want to go and do what they want it is a freeing experience.

It is hard to believe that astral travel isnt consciously experienced by more people. Most people are simply afraid to try because they believe one must have the skills present. However, everyone is born with this ability as long as they are willing to practice it.

It is likely that youve experienced some astral travel in your lifetime, as stated above, either through your remembered dreams or daydreams. You have flown out of your body before, whether you like it or not!

The best way to gain the benefits of astral projection is to simply allow these experiences to happen freely, and try to blend with these experiences and to gain some sort of control over them. Through this mental exercise, you will get stronger in mind and body.

There are techniques that you can learn on your own through books offline or eBooks and other resources online. These were created by people who practice astral travel. Learning to astral travel is not as difficult as people want to believe that it is. This is a natural ability that you were born with, you just forgot how to use it and need to fine tune your ability.

Phil G's Simple Approach To Contacting The Afterlife

By Afterlife Phil G

An email from Milwaukee, USA asks how to rekindle a connection with a partner who recently passed away, showed 'signs' but now it seems to have stopped. And was she meant to be with him at the end?

I deal with many who distress at not being with a loved one in the final moments, but I feel they often want to spare us. In this case, I'm please she recognized the 'signs' of contact, but her concern about the signs of contact fading away are not a problem. As I share - I am sure she's just missing the signs, or expecting too much.

I know it's sad when they want to 'go home' but sometimes, we can't always do what we wish. I don't believe they hold that against us, and understand. My own father wanted to come home from hospital, but because I live a long way from his home, and there was no way we could provide care for him there, the hospital wouldn't release him.

I received an email today sharing a beautiful story. Originally, this person wrote of how distressed she was feeling. She purchase the audio "Contacting the Afterlife - a Spoken Beginners Guide" from the website (philg.net.au or afterlifephilg.com). And although she didn't think she could do it, her email today was a very excited one indeed, as she not only connected, but verified it was real. She was very surprised, and overwhelmed with joy at knowing her partner is still with her, and she can verify it!

I know if people try TOO hard, they don't get things. Or rather, they miss the subtle signs. I talk about signs usually being like a 'gentle breeze' and it's easy to miss. In this lady's case, I feel she's wanting him too strongly and missing the signs, or she's always wanting proof, and not just accepting.

If you're trying too hard, I advise you to think back to what happened when you WERE getting signs. Something happened IN YOUR MIND at the time you recognized a sign. Although something may have happened around you, there's something, in your head, an inner feeling that "It's Him". You just KNOW. Do you follow this? It FEELS different.

Embrace that feeling again. You probably want 'signs' too much. Just think about him, feel that feeling in your head that he's near, and trust him. He wants you to be strong for others, to hold and hug you and wipe your tears. Look at the simple ideas on my website, and believe the possibility that he's still with you, and verify it later.

The website has quite a bit of free information, and a link to the YouTube video called "CoffeeTime" which allows you to create a situation conducive to contacting family in the afterlife. Just ENJOY them being with you, without necessarily wanting 'a sign' - and FEEL them in your head and heart, and don't think you're imagining it, but just savour the moment. Although you may want proof for others or yourself, just for now, if you're having trouble getting a connection, I think you should NOT ask for a sign, or expect one, but get used to the different feeling in your head and heart when they're around, and the rest will happen.

So the trick here, for anyone who either wants to contact family and friends in the Afterlife, or feels they've had something already, but now feel the connection is lost, use the ideas on my website, take it step by step, don't try too hard to start with, relax, and gradually, you'll understand the connection, recognize it, and be able to verify it.
