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.

Many people are seen to give a lot of effort in mastering astral projection. This is due to the fact that the experience of leaving your own physical body and watch it from a distance is an experience of a lifetime. Moreover, your subtle state of consciousness, your aura or your astral existence transcends the physical universe and moves freely to a higher plane moving away from the body to wherever desired, observing the world at a distance. Hence, mastering astral projection is a very popular activity amidst the esoteric believers.

The first and foremost aspect of mastering astral projection requires mental affirmations. Remember that in order to attain anything you need to believe that you can, in the first place. Remove fears and apprehensions from your mind and constantly affirm or tell your subconscious that you can, and you will successfully project yourself astraly.Write down your beliefs if it helps and remember that faith can achieve almost anything in life.

Secondly, the most important thing that you need to start and build up on is meditation. Projecting your astral existence from your physical body requires a high level of concentration, visualization power, control on your subconscious mind and an ability to channel one's attention and energy all of which can only be developed with the help of meditation.

The third thing to note in mastering astral projection is the time in which you will induce it. Almost all astral projection that takes place is seen to be in relation with sleep, specifically REM and lucid dreaming stages. When you sleep you go through four stages with your sleep growing deeper in each one. After the fourth stage the cycle inverses till it reaches the REM mode which consists of Rapid eye Movement and intense brain activity. This is the time when people see a lot of dream and the perfect time in 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.

A crucial thing to remember in mastering astral projection is that if one has even the slightest of apprehensions regarding whether you'll be able to return to the body then you will not be able to leave in the first place. Moreover, after you actually leave your body and progress forward remember not to panic or be fearful while moving away more since then you will be suddenly sucked back or pulled back into your body once again.

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.
