    Death is an illusion

    I get similar symbolic “messages” in my dreams. Teachers seeming to teach me spiritual truths. Lots of school and prison settings. Sometimes I am a teacher, but more often a student. Also some helping and healing stories. In one dream, a male voice gave me a Bible verse to look up, “Matthew...

    Religion as Self Fulfilling Prophecy

    If there is a Zero Point Field (from Lynn McTaggart’s book, The Field) that stores life’s memories and other information and energies, or Rupert Sheldrake’s Morphogenetic Field or Jung’s Collective Unconscious or a Quantum Substrate, then our mind’s focus might attract frequencies or energy in...

    Religion as Self Fulfilling Prophecy

    Yes, praying to the “Good Unknown” (Good because we don’t want the bad stuff from the Unknown) is like the new age concept of “law of attraction.” The mind orients towards. hones in on, and at times seems to actually attract certain realities. Case in point, I wrote this poem during Easter...

    Religion as Self Fulfilling Prophecy

    Do I believe in God? Yes. Mainly because my praying to God works for me. Metaphysically? If it works, there must be something there, but knowing its exact nature is not necessary. Even if “God” is really only a positive self-fulfilling prophecy that my mysterious mind fulfills religiously...

    Death is an illusion

    Probably correct that it is a necessary step to later experience “good” more internally and then want to do good for its own inherent expansion of spirituality/wholeness. Morality is a fake it til you make it method of spiritual growth, called Sutric in eastern thought. Christianity with its...

    Death is an illusion

    What you described could be useful even if not true in an objective or metaphysical way, because the human mind as it imagines and thinks or even perceives is always projecting and often does not reclaim the projections in the form of personal insights from them or spiritual growth. Even if it...

    Death is an illusion

    When I searched the internet with the following question: “Is there any truth to the book, The Field?”: Response: “Yes, Lynne McTaggart's book, "The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe," explores ideas and research that align with some aspects of quantum physics and the concept...

    Death is an illusion

    Besides, most religion is not spiritual, but more moralistic. And even that part of religion that does emphasize spirituality is more focused on optimal wholeness than mastery of spiritual practices or spiritism as a means to being more “spiritual.”

    Death is an illusion

    The one I had after meditation, then napping, then waking up, involved seeing back into the windshield of the car I was in. Since I was in the drowsy state (hypnogogic) I could have thought it was imaginary, but the intense “knitting” sensation as my astral body reentered the right side of my...

    Death is an illusion

    I accidentally prematurely posted the above. What I imagined was that the upper shelves were analogous to a different dimension that had greater capacity than the retail shelves, our physical reality. The effect of transition from greater to lesser is a pushing forward, time. Products come and...

    Death is an illusion

    As a stock worker for a year after my retirement, I noticed an analogy for time. The shelves that customers got products from could only hold so much, so additional products were placed up high. The retail shelves did not have enough capacity The Tibetan Book of the Dead advocates preparation...

    Death is an illusion

    Would astral projection skill development now help us transition better at death, when we leave and don’t come back, give up the ghost? Perhaps now that I am old, I’m motivated to practice moving out of my body. As long as I’m still alive, the mind or the silver chord will lead me back to my...

    Death is an illusion

    Sounds like the mind’s relationship with its own projections. Gestalt therapy advocates developing the skill of reclaiming one’s projections. I did so once in a dream. I reclaimed the angry character as a part of myself and our breathing became one, I realized in the dream that the disowned...

    Death is an illusion

    I personally have only had two astral projection experiences in the wake state, and one of those was actually in a semi-awake state following a nap. The other astral projection occurred during an intense emotional state. One vision occurred also during an intense emotional state, and walking...

    Death is an illusion

    Powessy said this: “I have had thousands of out of body experiences and astral experiences .,,” Today on Palm Sunday our Sunday School class reviewed a book about the Bible New Testament book of John, specifically the account of the tomb stone being rolled away and the eventual discovery of...

    And even if someone has a touch of schizophrenia, if it can be put to good use, count it as a gift to help overly realistic minds open up to mystical possibilities.

    Death is an illusion

    I saw a vision when my son was in a coma. Also one other time after deep meditation. Visual hallucinations usually associated with toxicity and delirium, sometimes mania. Auditory hallucinations are usually associated with schizophrenia, but my own mystical experiences keep me open to auditory...

    Death is an illusion

    If this physical (temporal and spatial) reality has any relationship with a greater reality of a different dimension, one can only conclude that it is via “mind.” The mind that prays to “God” is the door to the House. Zen-like riddle I came up with: If the door is the house, that’s okay...

    Death is an illusion

    Implied here (I think) is that Universal Mind, as it becomes manifest as a link between mind and physical reality in which time and space play out or are perceived/experienced, creates its own time. To the extent that our regular minds retain some glimmer (lower intensity, as parts of a hologram...
