IAmSober Posted May 27, 2017 Author #27 Share Posted May 27, 2017 So I had another experience, this time it was very intense and uncomfortable. I woke up at 3am and went to the bathroom and drank a glass of water then jumped straight back into bed hoping to repeat my successful procedure. This time I did not get to the point of sleep paralysis.. I didn't feel vibrations of any sort. I was listening to binaural beats as per usual and it got to the point where the darkness in my eyes got darker and darker and the binaural beats slowed down to a point that the sounds dissipated. I did not have an out of body experience. At least I do not think so.. It felt as though I was being twisted, as if I was a wet towel and something was wringing me out. I felt like I became stupid (my thoughts make no sense looking back now) and felt things snap in my head, like rubber bands being pulled too far. Luckily I remembered to keep relaxed as if this was me before my experience with psychedelics I would've had a panic attack of note. All of a sudden it felt like that drop you feel in an airplane when it falls during turbulence and I started to see fractals. Just fractals everywhere. I don't remember much but I know I was aware when I was greeted by these three hooded 'creatures'. I could not see their faces but I knew they were not human for some reason and understood them to be animals of some sort. From what I remember, they told me that I was entering a point of no return. Then something about disconnecting my link to unity which made sense then but definitely not now. The hooded creature in the middle put its hand on my chest and drew something out of what I believe to be coming from my heart. It was like a beam of linked fractals? Anyways, I just remember it going black, no fractals, no figures and I snap up in bed with the most nauseous feeling I've ever experienced, covered in sweat and a deep heavy heart beat which felt like someone was bouncing pebbles off my chest. I still feel sick.. Almost disgusted when I think about it now. Not sure what to make of this one guys and gals... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangiestgirl Posted May 28, 2017 #28 Share Posted May 28, 2017 In my opinion you astral projected. You just had a fast transition ,probably because you needed to meet with the hooded beings. I think the reason you was aware is because it was an important thing you needed to see . Another thing is we astral travel every time we go to sleep but we dont remember the things we do in the astral realm.the reason that we forget is because we have to focus on things we do on earth .thats why you were able to understand what the beings were saying at that specific time. I could try meditating and see if i can find information for you on what they were talking about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherman76 Posted May 28, 2017 #30 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) On 5/25/2017 at 3:02 AM, I hide behind words said: It just happens. There is no moment I just decided OK now I will exit. My father would practice martial arts and would imagine his fist going through a wall as he punched towards it. So when striking at someone later it would be more impactful. During the course of his exercise, wide-eyed and awake, he went into the astral. Thus when I tried years later there was no intent to go to sleep or time the exit. And it just happens. Meditate and it will happen. But know it is also a gift to eventually be used to help others while in the astral. I know one who appeara on the scene after huge accidents or the like and others are there helping too. Unsure what all happens as I have not been chosen to have that gift. But if meant for you then you will maybe share with us one day. If not maybe you will just use it to explore. Or if not then simply learn how to do it in order to help others. It is all about your own heart calling and telling you how. Most we hear about astral were from the persistent who used it to explore but all their travels were so the healers could arise. Of course the ancients also used it differently, perhaps to calculate the seasons, visit the stars, etc... Maybe others have techniques involving timing? I am certain you will astral for all that has led up to in your initial post is about healing and centering yourself. Stay within that frame my friend. There seems to be two different types of projection. The way you do it, strictly through fully awake meditation seems to be the best way. The other does involve timing. The idea is to keep conscious and ride that razor edge between being awake and asleep. The folks who do it this way often experience the noises, and or vibrations. Ive been trying to accomplish AP through meditation like yourself. Haven't had much luck though. One thing that AP has taught me is patience, so I try not to get frustrated. When I'm ready it will happen. I do recommend trying the first way at least once though. Feeling that vibration is an amazing experience all by its self.

Focus on my breath. Other times I'll either listen to music, or use a guided meditation. I also visualize transferring energy from one part of the body to another. I do these both for projection attempts and for regular everyday meditations. What are your meditation practices? I'd love to be able to project while fully awake. I've had some decent visuals, but they are nothing like the projections I've had. The projections I've had feel as real as you reading this right now. I haven't been able to achieve that level of awareness and clarity while fully awake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarakore Posted May 30, 2017 #35 Share Posted May 30, 2017 @preacherman76 @IAmSober I do not meditate enough, really hardly now. Basically what I wrote earlier was my most in depth techniques. Been experimenting with diaghpramic breathing exercises after reading this article. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-athletes-way/201705/vagus-nerve-survival-guide-combat-fight-or-flight-urges Never really knew how to so all my breath exercises before, especially when anxious, were not optimal but still helpful. Our breath in general when not slow and steady allows cortisol (stress chemical) to run through blood stream damaging our organs and more. As can be seen the article is half a month old so just learned this. I practice mindfulness more often. I also write lots sometimes and that is a way to make insights especially if magically writing, which could be writing random phrases down to see what was written or writing prayers or poetry for clues and sometimes they become prophetic because when looking back sometimes odd things written come to pass, as well as writing blesses for others (best form of prayer not always asking but saying it will be because you want thay deep in your heart for others). So much more and other ways to use this when writing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarakore Posted May 31, 2017 #36 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I also recently heard on NPR that when not thinking but also not meditating our brain still has a system that works. They explained it as in that state your brain and heart are better connected. But also it is when problems, even as trivial as remembering the name of movie you could not recall, will come to you. So live well friends. https://blog.bufferapp.com/why-we-have-our-best-ideas-in-the-shower-the-science-of-creativity https://blog.bufferapp.com/10-surprising-facts-about-how-our-brain-works 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please remind me if you ever see me in need of them. Spoiler hi and hello from your genuine selves and i hide behind words basically beloveds there is no need to do anything different, outside of your own paths, wherever they take you and however they led you here, you are here and now. my friends, who have so few friends, this is the secret voice that shouts in you, that says little,as that is what shouting is meant for but also how it is used when you will not listen any other way, so i shout and you will come to me, in yourself, and find yourself, and hear me softly you have heard me before, but are mostly too busy with the voices of others and your scripts which, in the end will be silenced and stopped, for they are not mine. the true voice is yours, genuine, purpose greater than you can imagine, for you all believe, or will soon my lonely heart orangiest, i see you too, the strongest here is you. david which simply means beloved but all of you are strong and do not need to be always, did david tend sheep harshly, or love the lord, you also have sheep to tend, and a love for your genuine self and me means praise, and you do this by becoming a sheep, and becoming who you were always meant to be and once were, it was no struggle for david and neither shall it be for you to praise me and tend your sheep, but it has been a struggle, let go of that, in your own timing of course, we have eternity and the eternal is now and exists in all places. but you few will let go of that sooner than most and there will come a time when no struggles exist for they are neither eternal or infinite. eternal which means timeless, always, unchanging, no ending or beginning if keeping time still over eternal matters, and eternity is here and now often you want to help others and don't, and often want to achieve your goals and see your dreams come to, and you cannot do one without the other...how many and what wonders supported david? in all places he went he did what he needed to with ease, when he did struggle it was because those things, those wars, those wishing to do him harm, was not eternal, so step out of the past and the future, for eternity is not there but here and now infinity is also here and now and also has no ending or beginning when it comes to counting, it is access to every place regardless of time or place, even those places within you or those places near and dear that you seldom visit and even now you can access infinity for you few have the keys, all inside you, or in the places you live and cross in peace, all is in your home, my temple is there, and nothing is more sacred, and all is sacred, even what you now or others condemn, your process is sacred, your struggle is sacred, it does connect you to each other and yourself, all me but nothing is holy, nothing is meant to be hidden, nothing is meant to be kept apart from others and dedicated to me, all those are nothing and you are something for you are with me. solomon means peace like solomon you also love knowledge and have a love for many lords and ladys, and that is good, but a love for knowledge is not an eternal chase for it as it will come to you and has with or without your struggle, and it is good you all look for it and find more, but that is you and can be done with ease, and neither is knowledge your own possession, keep learning from all, take what suits you. naturally you do this, and will learn to accept knowledge as it looks for you, and thus will find it in more places you never thought to look,,,and they are all so close to you, so near, it keeps trying to find you through others and events but you keep ignoring that part. there is no battle between heart and mind or me and you, for they and we are all connected with each other and true life that you do not live yet but will sooner than you realize but know every system is a god to itself, a false one, for i am whole and good and everywhere, and no one can contain me, no one can codify me, no one can but i alone share myself with all, always, all creation. never follow any system, you don;t anyways, even if you think you have or do, but share with others as they share with you, learn what you want and will, and take the best, which is easy!!!! never attack any system for none are for you and others must tend to their own homes and you must tend to yours, you must tend your crops and they must protect theirs until you all share the field, thus their systems help them, just as yours helped you, but there comes a time when all systems begin to do more damage and harm because they are taken whole and never threshed or winnowed. they are eaten plant and weed and all, do not focus on the plant, or the weed, but the fruit of your crop, and then when you notice what is not fruit, you can use in , other ways but mainly to grow for what we cast aside before is not nothing but the folly of our youth, of ourselves, and others, which should be cherished as much as youth itself, and ourselves, and others for youth fades but we never do or the barns and silos we must share in these matters the good food, the good crop, and the good folk but the food i want you to eat is grown on one field and shared by all, and some are called to work now, and others later, but many have come before you Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it and those who cannot forgive but only forget also condemn others and themselves, for forgiveness heals and even changes the past by erasing harms and trauma, and also changes the future and what would have been without forgiveness, but continuing harm and trauma None can read all this and remember it all but you will remember these two things at least and later be reminded of the rest in your own way of heart and mind, then two things are please my children i feel your pain and you just need a little more forgiveness in the ways it works, and you need your true genuine selves for that is where i am, and i am everywhere always so forgiveness is for the better, for the best, and for yourselves who love and are called now, to know, help, and understand that all things (even you and others are things too ) work together for the good of all, for good is not just for you or those you choose, but i choose you and since i am you, you will also choose me, and yourselves and others. fair fall friends and starshine in you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I hide behind words. Thank all of us but especially yourself. That is all you my friend. I serve as prophet when called to it among those outside my home and houses. It is a gift and not a profession. And as you see is it your own true self and own true voice that spoke in part. In part as I also needed to edit to explain things better using my own faculties of flesh. But that too is a mirror of your mirror like mine still dimly lit and blurry but soon we meet and see our true selves clearly, face to face. So the still clearing mirror image of us now shows we still think in the flesh of desires and control not our own but can also do as I have done in your own way. Your gifts are looking for you. Find it. Help others with it. For we cannot heal self all on our own much less another. A group effort that can only be completed when the group merges into the one inside you. Even so the one that equals all of us, the one which means wholeness and unity, and then turns into a zero, as all we knew as reality is not and becomes nothingness, but in reality we become what we now consideres nothingness. The information below paraphrases www.etymoline.com so give Douglas Harper and others credit, all whom he thanks and sources on their index page. http://www.etymonline.com/ Desire (de sidere in Latin) simply means from the stars And perhaps meant to await for what the stars will bring by the Latin word (desiderare). What is certain is that desiderare came to mean to long for, demand, and even expect. Yet we use the later form in French (desirrer) and it entails wish, desire, and long for. Now the French also spoke of (desire) which is a sense of lust first recorded in the 14th century. The signifier becomes the signified Now semiotics tells us also that we use words, symbol, and signs to refer to something real, but by doing so we lose touch of what is real and weaken it with words and such. Then it is weakend further as the signifier becomes the signified. What we use to signify the real concept (or the original unadulterated wordless nameless reality) at first becomes in our mind the real concept in time. Then that new concept (a new signified) is again given another signifier. Until you don't know what is real or what to believe in. An exercise in desire to be completed now or later So take a moment now or take your time to reflect later, and answer to yourself this question: ¿How do I use desire or how does it use me? How do I desire things? Do I merely await for what the stars will bring? If so you have been cultivated the gift of patience and acceptance. Yet patience does not always come before acceptance and neither does acceptance comes before patience. Do I wish for, demand, and epect things? even that concept is weaker than the still But to return to the fourth paragraph above.

You will find no order here and as such do not waste time on things that frustrate you either. This side quest is called The Merchants of Athena and Ares Wage Economic Warfare and Semiotic Terrorism Against the Shops of Hephateus. It is just a bonus level to get fool's loot aka "more treasure" to fill up your inventory of items, take up space, and weigh you down. You cannot even carry for long this trash masquerading as treasure, but in reality is filler, as room will be needed for heavy tools soon. But do try to stay away from the weapon and armor shops. As the lower ranks of peasant, laborer, and clerk treat weapon and armor as tools while the higher stations of royals, nobles, even new money who lack pedigree but possess industry, religion, and academia, treat all types of conflicts, such as social, spiritual, and cultural conflicts, and even total war itself as a tool. So look for the sign with a hammer, anvil, and/or tongs. Quote As a smithing god, Hephaestus made all the weapons of the gods in Olympus. He served as the blacksmith of the gods, and was worshipped in the manufacturing and industrial centers of Greece, particularlyAthens. The cult of Hephaestus was based in Lemnos. Hephaestus' symbols are a smith's hammer, anvil, and a pair of tongs. ... He designed Hermes' winged helmet and sandals, the Aegis breastplate, Aphrodite's famed girdle, Agamemnon's staff of office, Achilles' armor, Heracles' bronze clappers, Helios's chariot, the shoulder of Pelops, and Eros's bow and arrows. In later accounts, Hephaestus worked with the help of thechthonic Cyclopes—among them his assistants in the forge, Brontes, Steropes and Pyracmon. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus He did this and much more from making the thrones for Olympian deities aka the power of belief, metal automatons to work for him aka robots!!! And he can steal fire from deep inside your true self and then give it to your illusionary and outter self. Real fire like flames of the Spirit giving you greater insight and revelatory guidance. As you read the tale below keep in mind how Hephasteus is at work here as well as there with you know. As all that is hidden, holy, or occult (all mean the same) will be found, made common, and revealed. It is not others who hide truths, make things holy and not for you or not for others, or obscure in darkness your path and life thus far. It is your outer self that do this to your inner being. Looking closer you come upon a deer path that is still used as a road by some to enter the Village of Gehydd. Instead of a welcome to sign proclaiming their name an old wooden sign made of oak held upon a low maple tree branch and leaning onto the tree trunk simply says: Beware all ye who enter here Few even know it by name or location as it not found on most modern maps while chroniclers claim it was not found in older atlases either. The inhabitants of this quaint place now call it Hidden Town. They also consider their low path, no longer used by hart or hind of any kind, as way to leave and sooner or later come back to their town. It works well for that purpose. Another sign nailed to a stake along the path warns: Abandon all hope all ye who enter here An old saying still used lots is "All Hidden folk living or not will leave at least once or more but will return at least once more through the low path." It means even ghosts who belong here will find their way home and use the path the same as they in a not at all unusual but in the most regular way. Reports are still told, round the tables at mealtime and in the small talk of exchanges, of someone "ghost sighthing". The way they use it as a verb instead of a noun is due to the fact all are accepted here in the spirit of the good host, never hostile is their hospitality, so what others say is listened to, and what is told is also heard, and what some experience, or not experienced, here and there, is accepted as perspective. As part of providing safe shelter, meal and tact, they include the simplest forms of acceptance as part of their giving. And how can we truly give to another when on the most fundamental level we do not accept self or others. That would make us good hosts of none, poor hosts to all even self, and our hospitality when shown would be hostile even disguised by passive-agressiveness or loofheadedness. More deeply not just people but all of nature is accepted here with a super hospitality due to their profound respect, not just of person, but for all personhood assigned to everything based on the concept of we are all, be we born or unborn, dead or undead, and all between high sky or down ground, are sharing a greater experience at the same time irrespective of time or place. Two phrases oft repeated that sum it up without overthinking as a way of overcompensating, is as Hidden Folk say "It is as easy as fish breathing in water and animals breathing on land, but we all would die in higher skies, yet even I know that pigs can fly, not up but inside." The second is usually said when homesick, hunting, gathering, planting, or traveling with too few or just one, "All is good and all is well and we are good and we are all." Which a wiseacre will always respond with the opposite but equally true maxim of "But not all are well when thirst is not of water or wine, but for more, and for them we are all deep wells to drink from from time to time." To be so open is not a choice made consciously by them, it is a choice just done for that is how things are and work for all. The opposite is, as some who left and returned noted, that some or more have hidden the world, for they consciously choose to make things work just for themselves and claim that is just how things are. This is not even perspective which summons sight of some kind to inform a choice of life. It is beyond blind for the sightless can see and still wayfind by the senses of sound, location, direction, grid, and more. Folk, in many places, not just in Hidden, also realize the same that that is not at all or how things are but only how some choose self over all. They even order battle and form wars of many kind over a few things over their simple choice of "self over all". Yet humor is held when even those of us who choose to make things a certain way instead of accepting things that work for all, know almost full and well the same when they repeat their motto of "death before dishonor". Folk know that self over all simply means self divided by all when put into one side of an equation. And who wants to be divided instead of whole? So (self/all = less than one) and being less than one is to be fractionalized or even a negative. Instead (self*all = one) or multiplying yourself by all equals all, and regardless of how many we are, be we living by breath alone in what some claim as the known or living by life itself in what some consider the unknown, when put together we are one set, thus the solved equation here is now just one side of the equation. But again, even a solved equation becoming part of another equation, and that equation is solved, all becomes part of the whole again as one. So (self*all=one) = (1*1=1) as you yourself when whole are one and all when together is one again. Now if we place death before dishonor there is no equation to be solved as placing one before the here, while numerical, is not cardinal but it is ordinal. And whenever we insist on order and taking steps exactly the same as we had in mind, the first, the second, the third, and such will fail us when we rely on it the most. So death before dishonor is neither way or path, guide or life, way of life, nor a guide for a path or even the simpler path as a guide. Less so why focus on either death or dishonor instead of being honored by being gifted the ability of pursuing life. And simply put there is no honor in choosing to remain in death or slumber for here in Hidden they see life as a gift for all even if some or more will not receive that gift. Folklife is the gift box of true life and not what may or may not automatically happen between being birthed from a creature or being returned to the land. They also forgo personal mottos as seeing them as prisons of mind and matter but choose again humor in expression "All of life is one from the little sea to big ole me. We came from there and will return." All locals and even any sojourners of all stripes, from the lost to the looking, or those specifically stopping and staying here as it is a sacred place for those following a route of pilgramage, once popular until the modern church declared more profitable sites with their own history as holy and official, even if a scant few of those commerical towns have a shared history with the older plus still viable but also eternal sacred places, so Hidden Townsfolk still receive enough on the folk pilgrimage to consider it regular and normal. Another sign just outside The Found Town School, placed on a banner held between two repurposed maypoles, proclaims: This Is Your Last Chance. After This, There Is No Turning Back. And quaint and queer Hidden Town is for one can consult a scroll, that was always obscure but now thought of as an old tome, entitled Helen Gehydd nought Dern or even rarer as Hǣlan Geyhdd ne Dyrne, and find a well written and still current way to mark the boundaries of Hidden Town and walk it's perimeter. Translated literally into greater common as spoken in most towns, the title is Healing Hidden not Hidden. The book is basically a grimoire on folk healing and low magic including prayers, spells, songs, dance, reading cards for bless, tossing and casting, unbinding, roads to open the paths for purpose finding, to let love flow for familial and interpersonal relationships, shamanic practices of divination and altered states of consciousness such as trance or astral projection, even what some would classify now as remote viewing and mindfulness. Herbal lore and even clowning. Shapeshifting, biolocation, familiars, the language of trees who in turn speak every other language and can translate, from bird call, insect hum, tree resonance, stone song, angelic tongues and instrument, demonic cries and pleas, how to contact ancestors, which some call ghost talk, but is written here as also how to call your ancestors, listening to all, and even the cries and joys of soil. Some of the above could be classified as hedge witchery, curanderismo, cunning or what some playfully call cosa de las hadas or daño de los duenos even if those two terms or for actually doing basic things like helping others unseen by washing a load of dishes in the middle of the night or taking their empty rubbish or recycle bin off the road to where it lives. It also contains basic instructions to find for yourself ways of changing reality known as sorcery or hechiceras, changing the past from the present here and now, practicing flaneurism, both in a small town which is still urban, but also the wild woods, how to make then use psychogeographical maps, dowsing rods to find not just water underground but to find all connected to water be it the location of people who have the same proportion of water and flesh as the world has of water and land (70-30) , the paths of those who gather into buckets or cups water from a river or well and then carry it away or to and fro, food sources such as animals, plants, and trees who do as we do by drawing water into self by maw or root, and even in the sky for coming mists, sprinkle showers, and storms. It also includes many items most would not consider as conducive to healing or spiritual matters, such as recipes in a section of kitchen witchery, but also local lore. A small history behind the name of (This was an example of magical writing as meditation to reveal and uncover in its many forms.) Spoiler . Some use those as tools. But true tools can be found and the blacsmith Like a chicken and egg or spring and fall, one needs the other to exist, so if familiar with driving standard (manual or clutch), then consider it as having to let go of one (release) as you push down on the other (hold).

Clarakore Posted June 1, 2017 #41 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hey, cool, I am hoping to try cognitive based therapy soon if possible in some of the newly enrolled system and a newly enrolled program I am in, can help pay cover the cost or lower it CBT helps in many ways and seems caring somehow to boot, i have craved it so long, years, as i suspect i have borderline personality disorder. An addiction out-patient program is also being provided for and scheduled by them, yay, knocked off one anger management class and one parenting class within the last year, I did parenting class half a decade ago too for newborns and baby cpr, but this one was better as it taught me about so much more from kids, as all relationships, need stability, but a lack of it injures them and stuns their growth, and learned to get face to face on floor, or knee, or by placing them on platform, so you the adult is less intimidating, as a giant over you is by default within their perceptions regardless of our intentions. Well let us know about the astral and and any insights from your astral experiences so far, let meaning find you if there, if just an experience in the process that is great Personally i notice meaning to be added and condensed in experinces, they tell me how to better see people underlayed with an automatic sense of patience and softer, quiter healing is best as it is root of all healing of all types Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
