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?

What Is An Out of Body Experience And How Does One Happen?

By William Courcey


An out of body experience, which is sometimes referred to as an OBE, occurs when a person feels like he or she is floating outside of their body. It is a scientifically proven phenomenon that typically occurs when a person is about to die.

In addition to being called an out of body experience, the experience of perceiving your physical body from some location outside your body is called an astral projection. It is not a concept that should be scorned, because many who have come near death have returned to recount their memories of seeing their physical body lying in a room. These people are also able to describe activities that occurred in the room during their experience.

People began to refer to this experience as an out of body experience or OBE in 1943, instead using the term "projection." This transition in names occurred in response to the perception that "projection" was more of a belief-centered term. In the past, however, OBEs were referred to as "spirit walking." Scientific research into this type of experience is ongoing, because it cannot be considered imaginary.

Approximately 10% of the population may have been through this type of experience at some point in their lives. These are some very large numbers, so one should not look at the concept of an out of body experience with scorn, disdain or skepticism.

Sometimes, some people undergo an out of body experience spontaneously. On other occasions, this might be brought on due to mental and physical trauma, the use of psychedelic drugs or even when a body has slipped into a state of trance or coma.

There are plenty of places on the Internet, which promise you the joys of astral travel and projection. Astral projection is not difficult if you know how to go about it in the right way. This is supposedly a natural process, which was used very often by the ancients. Unfortunately, a large number of their modern descendents have forgotten the art of astral projection. An out of body experience does not need a large level of spiritual and mental power.

However, you should have the power to concentrate on one point -- your conscious mind is holding you back, because it has the fear that once you project yourself out of your body, you would not able to come back. This is the subconscious fear which prevents astral travel and astral projection.

The belief is that one's astral body can leave the physical body for a little while. If one believes in the idea that yes, he can project his astral body outside his physical body, he is already on his way to success. That is because he has auto suggested himself into allowing his conscious mind to "let go." However, if there is just this brief bit of fear that one's astral body is going to escape one's physical body and he is going to end up in the state of limbo, one is better off not trying any sort of experimentation.

If you know you believe in this phenomenon, silence your fears. You'll need to use meditation and self-hypnosis to have a successful OBE. Begin having positive thoughts and tell yourself you want to experience astral projection. As your mind takes over, you will find yourself accepting the possibility of successful astral travel.

Lie down in a place where you are not going to be disturbed. Lay your arms to your sides. Let your aura harmonize itself with that of Mother Nature. Breathing deeply, start focusing on relaxing your physical body in such a way that it lets your astral body go forth to explore the dimensions outside your physical and mental knowledge and ken. You are going to feel your body start to tingle; encourage this sensation. If conscious thoughts keep popping up in your mind, brush them away and keep concentrating on breathing deeply and gently.

Normally, an out of body experience is heralded by vibrations and a rapid pulse. Allow those vibrations to sweep over you. Avoid becoming excited; instead, you should remain calm and let the vibrations control you entirely, your body and soul. You will soon be leaving your physical body behind and embarking on an astral journey into another realm or dimension.

A number of people who have gone through an OBE say that the out of body experience ended because of the fear of getting far away from their physical body. According to them, the experience which they had was definitely not a dream, because they had been existing in some other realm or sphere and undergoing experiences there. So if you want to take part in this exciting new world of astral travel and believe that you can do it, you Can Do It.
