Talking about Death and the After Life

Question:

Thank you for your prompt reply and suggestions—Will pursue it with him. I think that a lot of people nearing the end of their journeys are anxious to explore this issue but are afraid to freak out their families.

I do agree…

I have talks with my mother about speaking with deceased people and I’ve had similar talks with my aunt…but I do limit what I say…

I just stand there and support them in what they would share.

If you share more than they are comfortable hearing, you can actually have a negative impact and send too much energy through their body…

In the short term, this could cause them to have less consciousness during their experiences.

Approaching the subject of Out of Body Travel...

Question:

Hello, I want to start talking with my 87-year-old father-outlaw about making the transition, practicing out-of-body flight, and am looking for references, tips, etc. on a good place to start. He's not affiliated with any specific brand of Christianity, so that's not going to be an issue, but I don't know what the best way to start the conversation/meditation with him.

Suggestions?

Virginia,

I do have a lot of experience with opening people's minds, but I would suggest that most people really aren't open to direct conversations about such things....

But as we age and begin to reach the end of our lives, many do have experiences they find unexplainable...
Like waking up in a higher state of consciousness, while half asleep and chatting with someone that is deceased…
They sometimes chat away till they wake up more fully, and the person leaves their vision…

You might mention such an experience to him, that you HEARD about this person that had this type experience--"What do you think about that?"

Regardless, you can always just ask him about questions while never committing to yourself believing in such things...
That way, in case he really rejects the idea, he isn't disturbed by thinking you have lost your mind...lol

So I would start with that before more directly approaching the subject of out of body travel.

My Lucid Dreaming Site

I've just uploaded my new website about out of body travel and lucid dreaming to the web - Conscious Dreaming. There are articles about dreaming on the site and links to my books. Video presentations on lucid dreaming, out of body travel and more coming in the Spring.

White Eagle Books

There are certainly no books that have more influence my ability to lucid dream and experience out of body travel than the White Eagle Series. The White Eagle Books are a collection of Grace Cooke's channelings during the mid era of the 20th century. The Spiritual Unfoldment Series outlines a path of spiritual growth that produces many changes in ones perception. #2 in this series deals with the faerie kingdom of gnomes, sprites, undines and such..
I highly recommend for anyone seriously desiring to grow spiritually and develops skills in out of body travel, lucid dreaming and other psychic abilities.

Opening Chapter for "Faeries Found"

Remembering


Long ago, in an age almost forgotten, the small spirit keepers of the earth lived and worked within the consciousness of humanity. We then expected the presence of faeries, sprites, gnomes and the other earth spirits in our lives.
Closely aligned with inspirational realms, their job was and is of holding heart consciousness; of maintaining that presence to help us stay closer to the longings of our hearts. And in a world often dominated by fear, it is a job that requires diligent labor, waiting for moments when they might whisper of hope to an aspirer of magic.
Even though mostly unseen, their gifts have inspired much of the great artistry and enduring creations that exist in our world.

It is with the most soulful energy that faeries resonate—and help to perpetuate. But if when we leave childhood, we become too focused in the physical world and begin to adopt beliefs of consumption, forgetting the natural world—our ability to see their reality diminishes.
It of course does not cease to exist; it is only that our connection to it weakens. Their work continues with or without our conscious awareness, though in eras where great violence occurs, they must pull back and leave our midst. But all the while they wait, hoping that we will soon be able to transcribe our aggressions into something more conducive to our survival—and to our ability to hope.

Hope is a request for their presence.

Becoming conscious during out of body travel

Question:

I have out of body experiences, but I have difficulty when I come to the conscious realization that I’m in another realm. I become fearful or startled by the fact that I’m in complete control yet completely out of my body.

Is there a certain point when you learn to control the location of your projection?
Can you consciously travel to desired dimensions?

Also I've had many dreaming experiences, which I later lived out while awake—Déjà Vu, if you will. Can I control this to make it more useful? Not that I want to see my future, but in most instances I don’t have a choice.

Are the visitors in my lucid dreams my manifestation, or visitors? I don't know how I could have dreamed some of these things up but wouldn't put it past my mind, like partying with a bunch of Ganesha people. So strange but so cool. Any help would be appreciated.

Safe travels through the universes

It is very common to lose consciousness when initially experiencing out of body travel. The intense energies in these dimensions can magnify fear, often resulting in confusion and causing a premature return to the physical body. So an acclimation process is usually necessary before being able to experience any lengthy out of body travels. But there are purification techniques that can speed up the process, though time and experience can also increase your resonance in these realms. It is the releasing of darkness from your being that will enable you to ground within the experience.

What I would suggest that you are seeking, is not necessarily to be in control during the experience, but to ‘feel in control.’ When we are feeling out of control, whether awake or asleep, we tend to desire more direct and physical control of something about our environment. But the greatest experiences in life, and in out of body travel, result from feeling a sense of Mastery, all the while being part of something greater. Feeling in control during out of body travel comes about as a result of deep releasing to a greater power. For it is when we can fully trust in goodness that we can be ushered into experiences beyond our conscious imagination.

Again, I would suggest that gaining more control by your ego’s standards, might not be so beneficial, for it is your deepest soul that is seeking the experience found through conscious out of body travel. It is the awakening of your soul in its fullness that enables the experience in the first place. Getting to a place where you can trust the higher part of your being brings the greatest benefit.

When meeting others in these alternate dimensions, we can have experiences with real and literal beings, but also beings created within our own imagination. Even someone familiar to us could actually be a manifestation. In time you will be able to distinguish between the two, but there are worlds where many unique beings exist that could only be described as strange by our standards. Having an open mind about other life forms, can open doors to realms that most others are not allowed to enter.
