Thank you for further explanation. I am taking this instance of stumbling across your thread as an indicator it is time to further explore this possibility.
When I was younger, probably 10 or so years ago, I believe I was much more "in tune." I too would run across too many "coincidence" or "synchronous" moments to believe they occurred by chance. However lately, especially this year, it seems to be taking major effort to "connect" with this reality. It's work just to "dial in" so to speak. Hence
my ATS location being set to la la land. It's like I'm lost in my brain...
Do you have any wisdom regarding this?

Nice way to put it Bravo Bravo, Imyself can Relate. Ahhh... Ifeel like Its amazing to know of knowledge but what's it worth if You cannot put it to Action? If Iwas A Millionair RIGHT NOW Iwould have A school system dedicated to This topics and discussion's. Above all Thought's all connected from Everybody who has read your post or either Reading mine.
What I practice on A daily is my "Presence" To make sure those around me know im Kind-hearted and my body heat is To the MAX. Plus, Lately ive been having on my mind that and im not trying to be Funny but Being "Lazy" Is the WORST. Keep your vibration high and smiling (:

I haven't had experiences like yours except for different years where I would experience large amounts of synchronicities and deja-vu. What steps can I take to connect more deeply? Is it all just focused meditation/astral projection?
Also, does sleep paralysis have anything to do with this topic? I had never heard of it until it happened to me, and I discovered it while looking for an explanation. Sorry if it's off topic; I just thought it might be related somehow.

With as many questions that have been answered I have come up with more questions, and my first would be, how much of an influence can this have in social events? The reason I ask is because when I'm in these types of settings, any room I'd walk into, would clear out in 10 or 15 min. I believed for the longest time that it must've been something I had done or said but then I experimented with my problem and I could go completely unnoticed and it would still happen. I can say though, that I can ''sense'' something in a group or single person. I would like to chalk it up to being self conscious, but I've always have had very good intuition. I will say, I have also had this idea for a collective consciousness, that intimately interacts with most of the unknowing population. Not to sure how to end this, so with that ill say thanks for the mental food.

Can you explain your process for obtaining these skills and perceptions? I'm very interested to increase my own awareness, but something tells me I'm close..

I have seen the creation of this Universe when I was very young during sleep. I was the creator in this dream.
I have felt and still feel and observe my interconnected nature with all existence within and around.
I have seen my thoughts manifest into reality on a daily basis.
I have predicted events and actions, behaviors, to a T, on a regular basis.
I have created highly esoteric and symbolic art work, often times "by accident".
If these are distractions, so be it. I would rather say they are constituents of a very hard to define "enlightenment."
One other thing to consider: how would an enlightened person be/feel in this modern world? Ponder that for a moment, if you will.
Yeah your simply my egotistical reflection
You can say they are constituents of a very hard to define state because the "I" doesn't allow you to see yourself from outside yourself.
How would an enlightened person be or feel in this modern world?
They would feel the same at any given time.
They would simply be, they would not attempt to explain or to show their state, they would simply be in the state they are in.
That is my pondering of the subject at hand.

Very interesting.
I've spent much of my life reading many of the same subjects you have — plus a few others, as I'm sure you have too — so I guess we have enough common intellectual ground to find a way of explaining things to each other.
Now I admit I'm going to take a bit of convincing before I start to panic, but what I'm really curious about is your understanding (perhaps I should say your experience) of the collective unconscious.
How exactly would you describe — better still, define — the collective unconscious? Jung, who coined the term, never made it very clear what he meant by it; it seemed to change its meaning at various points in his life and career. His modern followers and fans have tried to resolve the confusion, but they disagree so much with one another that they only make it worse.
I have come to my own understanding of what the 'collective unconscious' might be through reading Jung and thinking about the paradox of an instinctive but also self-aware mind. Now, I'm not going to state dogmatically that my concept of it is definitive; it's just my way of looking at it. Actually, I'm not going to state my concept at all, because it's irrelevant. What's important is your concept, because you're the one who's bringing us these alarming tidings from the great Ocean of Mind.
So tell us, if you will: what exactly do you mean by 'the collective unconscious'?

I have no experiance in the psychic abilities the OP claims to possess. Unfortunately, I've never projected (but I certainly have tried). However, I believe the OP, and agree that something seems to be wrong with the collective consciousness as of late.
Of course, it could just be in my neck of the woods, but hasn't anyone noticed the recent behaviour of a lot of people? It seems many people are more apathetic, jump to negative associations more quickly, or are more depressed than usual. Even in myself I've noticed my patience at an all time low the past few months, where as I'm typically very patient.
With all these mind-control experiments and strange sky-sounds you hear of on ATS lately, is it all too hard to believe that TPTB are losing control of the masses and therefore have turned their "brainwave frequency transmitters" to the eleventh notch?

Scopolamine and rohypnol (sp) I think are very like "sleep paralysis."
Just sayin'. Can't imagine why someone would knowingly flirt with this......what could be worse than not being in a total state of awareness and unable to move?
And though this question was not meant for me, I don't think there's any similiarity between sleep paralysis and astral projection or OOBE......perhaps someone who wishes to control you might wish you to think so. But from what I know about such projections or OOBEs, sleep paralysis doesn't need to have anything to do with it. Doesn't mean that there aren't those who would purposefully induce this in someone, and then "cover with a layer" their recollection of what happened to them while "paralyzed" with something more pleasant, shall we say.....or promise that this is one way (sleep paralysis) to force your mind to go beyond into an OOBE, in order to escape possible trauma......

On the Fukishima, where is the outrage thread, Crankyoldman has an incredible synopsis available, as to nuclear proliferation in this country, and around the world, the reasons behind it, and what it's doing to us, poisoning and dumbing us down, making it impossible, if you don't die from the contamination, to realize your full potential as a human being.
There are many such proliferations of poison to do this, I believe, in our world today. This is only one, but a very important one, for these plants were built purpsefully on fault lines, in dangerous places, all along the "ring of fire."
So as we are slowly poisoned, and dumbed down, and manipulated into agreeing to it (and he puts this and illustrates it better than I can), we also slowly, but inexorably approach a disaster tipping point, via this....and as we go there, our behavior becomes more and more seeming of deserving it, as well.
I would strongly encourage you 1Providence1, to read his reply on that thread to something I wrote, and see if this doesn't resonate with what you write here, as well.

The collective unconscious... is a consciousness
1Providence1
Every day, countless people are interacting with each other's minds, whether they know it or not.
...As it stands, this field of consciousness is beyond unsettling, it is absolutely disturbing.

The unconscious is conscious?
All right, carry on. I'll see myself out.

My experience (not life-long...but, rather recent) has been quite similar...and, the Yellow-highlighted conclusion was directly in line with mine.
Don't know where to go with this.
You seem to have some "hope" in moving in this direction.
I have done everything I could...to move away from it.
A long process...indeed... AND ...never...actually...get away.
Would you mind "sharing"...in whatever terms or manner you choose...what you mean by "beyond unsettling...absolutely disturbing..."?
Thanks!

...Well, when I "flip the switch" in my mind to on, I often get people within ear shot blurting out things like:
..."Get out"
..."Stop"
...Amongst an onslaught of very personal, directed insults.
...Things of that nature. It would certainly seem that someone(s) or something(s) don't like either my awareness of this "area", nor do they like the fact that I can influence it.
...Catch my drift? It took a lot of persistence and endurance through sheer physical and mental agony to get to where I am.
