Yes, I agree with you. There is a strong possibility this is all on purpose.

The question is, what is that purpose? I don't like the "for our own good" line of thinking. Sounds too much like "we're from the government, we're here to help".
Monroe's second book, Far Journeys, talks about earth being a garden for distilling energy.

Now, if those two assumptions are correct, the reason that I think most likely that communication is largely blocked is to prevent what would be, in essence, a time traveller paradox -- my future self coming to my present self and providing information that would alter what my future self would be.

I must assume that you have not read Monroe's books. The reason that I say this is because, if we are to take his stories as true, he relates certain parts of his adventures in the out of body experiences as frightening and he is left calling for help. Someone shows up, not god, and helps him out. He later finds out that his "guardian angel" is his higher self. In other words his "future self" shows up and keeps things flowing as they should. Keeping at bay those that try to steer him from the correct path.
I have to admit that I'm not really convinced that that is how it works but it seems to be in opposition to your theory. Not trying to be contrary just putting another idea out there.

So, if Monroe's future self is not impacted by his interactions with his past self, and it doesn't sound like he is, then there is no paradox, and the question becomes one of circuity -- does he go back to help himself because he knows that he did, or for some other reason?
If the former, it becomes philosophically difficult, which is why I think it to be the latter, or Monroe got it wrong, and it wasn't his future self, but something that he confused for it.

Well he wouldn't become what he is in the future if he didn't get over those hurdles, so there is an impact on his "future self".

What if you are wrong? What if life isn't just happening and there is intent and purpose behind it?
I mean something compels you to post the things you do. You might even feel/think/know that even that is just happening but that isn't true. You want to say something. Something that you think we need. It isn't just by chance, otherwise you would post different ideas instead of the same thing over and over. There is a motive and a drive behind it.edit on 2-11-2012 by daskakik because: (no reason given)
