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?

The Incredible Out Of Body Experience!

By Peter Richards

Out of Body Experience or OBE in short is an experience in which one's subtle within, his inner self, soul, or in other words his perceptual existence separates from his physical body and travels out to other conscious realms. Simply put, it is the phenomenon in which you keep your physical body behind and move out of it towards higher ethereal realms observing yourself and the world at a distance.

There are five stages to an out of body experience. They are withdrawal, cataleptic, separation, flexibility and return to the earthly body respectively after the end of the venture. These are the five stages comprising of moving out of the body, floating celestially and then returning to the physical body after completing this journey of a lifetime.

The first phase of out of body experience sees the human body showing the signs of rigidness and the physical body stops responding to any external impulses. It seems as if the body is asleep and will not show ant response to effects to stir it up. The sense organs during sleep stops responding and a similar situation happens in this stage.

The body under the state of prolonged rigidness is known as cataleptic and in this condition the body becomes sluggish as if drugged and unconscious. There will be rigidness in the muscles and the body refuses to move even a minimal distance due to this. The sensory organs seem to stop functioning. But at the same time the extra sensory perception become very active and this gives rise to things like shivering, visualizing bright light and even seeing with the eyes closed.

The third stage which comprise of the soul separating from the physical body is the most important in this type of practice. This feat to separate is strongly resisted by our body in the way that even a small amount of doubt or fear regarding the after effects can bring the soul back to the body and the individual may return to consciousness with a jerk. The solutions to such suction and so that the soul can successfully move out of body are by completely relaxing ones mind and keeping absolutely calm in such a stage.

Then as the soul is successful to leave the physical body the suction powers of the latter tend to end and the mind and soul feels the happiness of ultimate freedom and can view the world beneath.

The last stage of this miraculous journey is the return to ones own body. But it might happen that an individual's soul may suddenly pull back into his or her body if he retains some amount of anxiety regarding the pros and cons of the out of body experience. However without such fears the return tends to be smooth and after the soul comes back to where it belongs he or she awakes form a dazed sort of a feeling and the person feels as if everything he experiences was a dream.

The out of the body experiences can be made a reality through mental, technological and chemical methods. In case the procedure is mental the individual needs to follow advance techniques of meditation achieve the feat. The technological methods involve charging up our mind through waves of certain forms such as electro-magnetic or sound and in case the method is chemical the individual is given drugs that create hallucinations and hence take him or her to a dazed state to have such an experience.

Those who have all chakras opened are the spiritual master. The fourth chakra is closed for many people and this is the heart chakra. If heart chakra is opened it gives out love and compassion towards others. Meditation is needed for opening of the higher chakras or energy centers.
