A couple of brief experiences. The first one was when I was in my teens and someone slipped some LSD into my pop. I had no experience with drugs and so it was all very strange. At one point, I remember looking down at my body from about 20 feet above my body. I was watching myself run through this park - then I went back into my body.
Another time, I was in bed almost asleep and (in my mind?) I went to get out of bed and fell through my floor and had a heck of a time reorienting myself to be able to stand or walk upright.
I've done lots of lucid dreaming where if I don't like how something is going in a dream, I change it and/or sometimes rewind the dream and edit it so things happen the way I want them to. That's not really related to the astral but it's interesting nevertheless.
Back to astral ... I don't recall anything else that is really interesting other than the sensation of myself leaving my body which is sometimes like a rocking sensation and sometimes it's like falling out of your body.
Some relate astral travelling to some types of dreams - and those I have had many.
I would have to say that I have one heck of a strange imagination at times.
I guess it depends on what that belief in God also involves. The spectrum of belief in God goes anywhere from "I believe there is a higher intelligence out there or a creator" to believing in demons, devils, possession, angels and jihad.I like to think there is some sort of god...If anything just for comfort. Although that's one thing I would like to benefit from brain discipline -not having to rely on a figure when things get bad and instead being able to rely on my own capability.
I've walked on both sides of the pasture and it's like living in two very different worlds.
If you really think about it ... you really are relying on yourself when things get bad because essentially ... it is your perspective that has to change to make things go well again. God doesn't change you, you change you. You can decide that it's God that inspires you to do something or not ... but in the end, it's still you that has to actually act on that inspiration. Does that make sense?
Speaking of blaming other things ... I recall being at a hypnosis conference and this one guy had a work shop where he believed that evil spirits possessing others were responsible for mental or emotional problems. I didn't attend his workshop ... which is probably a good thing because I'm sure I would have gotten kicked out or exorcised for misbehaving. Anyway, this guy that attended his work shop came up to my booth (I had some AVS machines there to demo) and told me that he was possessed by 17 evil spirits and he said this to me with a straight face. Wow, talk about a party in your head. Some people could really benefit from medication.
It looks like it's on CBS and premeirs on the 22nd. It may be good or it may be really dumb. Time will tell. Which two channels do you get? I wonder what kind of shows you get over there?Cool. Any idea what channel it will be on? Living in Ireland, I think we only get, like, two American channel's
