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?

Mastering Astral Projection - Is It Possible?

By Bonita Symes

Mastering Astral Projection involves mastering the art of separating your conscious from your physical body and traveling from the latter towards another higher astral plane. Ancient religious practitioners were known to be experts in this and could transcend the physical boundaries of the universe by traveling to higher astral planes.

Esoteric believers and numerous individuals today are much interested in mastering astral projection of self into the higher subtle conscious realms. Though a bit eerie, but this is an experience of a lifetime since it involves leaving you own body and observing it from a distance. Moreover you can travel as far away as you want and observe the world from your astral body.

Firstly, in mastering astral projection, you need to have faith in yourself and truly belief that you can separate your aura, astral body or conscious from your physical body making it move freely to ethereal realms. The best way to do this is to write down all your thoughts on life and reality, thereafter write down all the positive things that you want to see happening and affirm your mind regarding the latter

Meditation is the second element which is crucial for mastering astral projection. Through meditation one achieves increased self awareness with knowledge about his true self and potential. It facilitates calming one's mind, increasing awareness and control over one's subconscious and helps in visualizing and focusing all of his energy and attention towards that vision which is very important in case of mastering astral projection.

Thirdly, mastering astral projection includes the very crucial element of time. The perfect time in which to induce such a projection is during REM sleep. Humans sleep in four stages with each stage becoming deeper than the previous one. After the last stage of very deep sleep, the cycle reverses till it comes to the phase of the REM or rapid eye movement phase where the brain activity is at its maximum. This is the time which is the most conducive for mastering astral projection.

Now that you are mentally ready for astral travel, lie down in a dimly lit or candle lit room preferably in light clothes. Remember that no electrical equipment should be switched on to distract you and abstain from having too much food, especially items like non-vegetarian or caffeine. Try to mimic the REM sleep mode, let your body rest, but keep your mind awake and focused. Start with meditating and being aware of yourself and the energy flowing in you. Channel this energy into a vision of you floating up from your body or you can even visualize a rope and yourself climbing up by it.

The hindrance factor in case of astral projection is the fear or anxiousness in the minds of the person regarding returning back to his physical body. Always remember that having faith and belief is the most important thing and even the slightest doubt regarding such things will not let the projection to be successful. Secondly, even if you manage to travel to a higher plane and suddenly get scared in traveling to far away from the body then your astral body would suddenly be pulled in into your physical body.

Lastly, technological interventions like that of the binaural beats can be used in creating the mental state that is conducive to astral projection. Binaural Beats involve hearing two different sound vibrations through both ears which fuses into each other and synchronized in the brain so as to create the required mental state. Whatever technique is used, mastering astral projection is not particularly easy and needs high mind power. However, once achieved, it is an experience of a lifetime which forces open many a doors to your personality which you may not have known before.
