Glad to see you took that with the humor intended. I wondered if you missed it.
Wait, I thought your OOBE was a recent thing. So you're saying you OOBE'd back before age 28 and got the warning and then avoided that incident?
So that was in 2002? When did the OOBE warning vision come?
If it did, uh, you didn't happen to hang out around the corner of the incident you avoided and get some photos did you?
I'd like to hear the specifics.
On the subject of 'travel' and thought speed travel I have a few interesting ideas, if you wanna chat about them.
For instance people tend to obscure the technical aspects of what is actually happening by overlaying things like this in a cloak of the paranormal.
They get so caught up in the trapping or the desire to be a 'master' of the paranormal, (like James Van Praagh and John Edwards, that they waste
their time making money and misleading people. They get a TV show and everyone flock to them but imo, they're the lowest of the low) that they start
believing their own hype.
Or they get locked into one way of looking at something and then fail to see the other ways of doing it which are actually real and ten times
better.
Ways to access the subconscious, ways to time travel in your dreams that are nuts and bolts easy, but people like to get caught up in the new agey
methods and keep themselves locked out of the mechanical ways to do this stuff.
People get locked into their favorite way to envision something and don't step back far enough to watch the future. There are 'hard sci-fi' fans
and other types who have a desire which compels them or there are folks trying to solve a 'need' so they keep banging their head against some ideas
that are not going to work, even though people tell them about it. It's kind of a 'when the student is ready the master will appear thing, so you
can't always just tell someone, but you can lead them. As a friend of mine said 'ideas are like rain, they fall on everybody but only a few people
get wet. (or something like that, haha).
In your case, I urge you to read some of the books I've been recommending and to visit some of the sites I mentioned. When you free yourself from
certain ways of thinking all this new stuff can come flooding in and you get real ways, not woo-hoo stuff.
Do you use a 'methodology' to do your OOBEs and practice faithfully? Do you record your dreams and do lucid dreaming? Just curious.
On your OOBE here, look at it from some different ways, and look for imagery and for symbology. You might find some further clues!
Thanks again for the cool thread.
*BTW, I've hidden a clue to expose this idea of blocking yourself from a simple mechanical method of learning stuff right in this post. See if you
can find it.
