WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN/PART 2

I sometimes feel very lost and confused about having the ability to "see" and "know" things that I was not capable of before my continuous studies. BUT, there is always that certain feeling about "knowing" when I am in the presence of a so called, "Fake!"
As I said before, these so called Psychics are totally off the wall with their delusions of grandeur in assuming they are great mystics. I believe that the greatest "mystics" are OURSELVES. Yes, I am convinced, when we practice our dormant gifts to the point of having them come to the surface, we are ALL able to "see" into the past, present and the future. With constant meditations and prayer, you will be able to capture ALL of the answers to ALL of your questions about this life. You can tap into your higher self and answer questions about many of the things that are concerning you in your day to day life. There are so many of those who are on this earth going around and professing to be amazing Psychics who can tell you about your future and how much money and love you will get in this lifetime. YES, do not misunderstand what I am saying to you now. There ARE those on this planet who can actually "see" into your future or past without ever having met you. BUT, the chances of you or I actually coming in contact with such a person is the same as playing The Mega Lottery for the first time in your life and WINNING!
Look into a mirror and you will see the greatest Psychic that you will ever meet in your entire lifetime! Within us are the ANSWERS to all of our questions. We are all a part of this amazing and spectacular universe. We need only to stop and think for one moment in our daily life of rushing and running. Be still and quiet and "go within". There is a part of our life that we often ignore. We have forgotten that we are indestructible and cannot ever be destroyed. Most of us believe that our vehicle that we travel in (our bodies) are US. Nope, that is not true. Our Astral Bodies are US! Our energy and our light from within are the real part of us. It can never be destroyed or grow old and fragile and fade away. It is the part of us that is eternal.
No one was created and put on this earth to be inferior to another. When this happens or is permitted to happen, one is portraying a "role". In the end there will be a lesson learned. Shakti Gawain the author or CREATIVE VISUALIZATION said, "Whatever you imagine can be manifested into a physical reality!"
We all do this every day. There are so many who are called "Tele-Psychics" who prey upon the weakest souls. Those which are lost and struggling to find their way. Those that are grieving. Those in pain and those who have no direction in this difficult world. There are those who perform big rituals and tell lost souls that they will create amazing feats, that they have direct contact with a Higher Being. That they will solve all of your problems and you will look to them and feel you have been in the presence of a God!
It is my belief, that once you have traveled to the astral planes and right outside of your physical bodies, you will "know" without a doubt that YOU can do anything you so desire.
The old saying is that we have a "veil" over our eyes and we cannot see things clearly.......BUT, I believe from what I have "seen" during and after astral projections, that this so called "veil" is removed OR partially removed. What one sees at this time is much clearer than what we have been seeing all of our lives.
Ghost stories were created for entertainment purposes. Magic was created for the same purposes. Yes, there really are so called, "Earthbound entities" that sometimes roam the earth. You will know when they are around, do not be fooled by trickery!
Once you start to open your higher self, you will find it difficult to listen to conversations about peoples' fake ghost stories. Why? Because you will start to take very, very, very serious what you have ventured into about your paranormal studies. As I said repeatedly, your meditations will open your eyes to "know" when you are listening to nonsense and you will immediately become extremly bored by the conversation. These types of conversations will hit you like a sleeping pill. (I am laughing to myself now, because I am speaking from experience now. And what is so funny is that, you will have absolutely no control of the sudden attack of "trying not to fall asleep!")
You will become a person who no longer feels compelled to partiscipate in these situations, due to the fact that you no longer are a member of a group that is speaking theoritically, but you will have actually become a person who is able or subject to aquiring, ACCURATE information. You will have "seen" in truth that which is no longer a fantasy or a whimmsy of someone's attempt to be "special".
Many such as myself, will only reveal much of what I am sharing here with you on this blog with ONLY others they can feel comfortable with and able to "share" their world of knowledge and experiences. You will know these people when they come to you. You will be able to discern their honesty. You will immediately "see" that these spirits/souls/entities you meet in day to day life are full of LOVE AND ENERGY and are anxious to share........
I continuously have and will use the word, LOVE in this blog. I will tell you why: The reason is that I know what we must achieve here in this dimension. LOVE! All that is to be discovered and held on to is, LOVE. Our entire existence is based on LOVE and learning how to achieve it. I know we use the word, LOVE, but it is a very simple and small word for the largest thing that exist in The Universe. What I can say, is that when you start to have OBEs, there will come with them, a "feeling" that overtakes your essence/spirit/energy that is beyond words. I do not believe I can describe it to you, BUT, you will definitely FEEL IT!
More later.............

WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN!

My favorite rock artists have always been, THE WHO. And I think of a song they did called, WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN! when I relay to you information about how Metaphysics and Paranormal studies and information is really given a bad rep when so many people are influenced by so called, Ghost Stories given to them by various friends, associates, etc. Sometimes when people start to tell me their most extraordinary experiences with mysticism and alien encounters, etc. I find myself using all of my power to hold back from either laughing my ass off or just running away!
In my opinion, this is one of the main reasons so many of us have been either tremendously filled with fear or disbelief about the paranormal. When one listens to some of these stories, one can only truly believe that the person telling it is insane or pulling a big joke on them for attention purposes.
I resent these situations so much. Why? Because when I (and you will too when you take a shot at some of the subjects I reveal to you on this Blog) became very comfortable with my studies surrounding Metaphysics, I realized how serious it should all be taken. Yes, it definitely is a Science. It also involves Quantum Physics and very careful Meditations, etc. When you become familiar with these aspects of the OBE, you too will start to literally "freak out" and find difficulty keeping your focus when listening to these stories. I do not say this to give one the impression that we will or have become some kinds of Higher Class Mystics! But let's put it this way, YOU START TO RISE ABOVE NONSENSE.
Examples:
The moment a person starts to inform me of some kinds of rituals or visions that are just "so Edgar Allen Poe", I cannot handle it. Upon listening to these stories you will find your mind reacts like a computer at "dissecting these incidents revealed to you". You will find yourself with many thoughts popping into your head, such as: THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE, IT DOES NOT RELATE TO METAPHYSICAL BASICS, THIS PERSON IS NOT AWARE THAT THIS COULD NOT POSSIBLY OCCUR ON A NON-PHYSICAL DIMENSION, DOES THIS PERSON REALIZE THAT IN ORDER FOR THIS TO OCCUR HE OR SHE WOULD HAVE TO BE ON "ANOTHER FREQUENCY" IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE IT??? THIS CONVERSATION IS TORTURE, IT IS MAKING ME FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT! AAahahahahahah, I could go on and on, but I won't. What I am attempting to get across to you is to not get fooled into these distractions. These situations as I have said before, give all the seriousness of what we are attempting to learn and discover a bad reputation.
I learned that during my OBEs, I almost always went onto a higher frequency of existence. Similar to changing the station on a radio or television. I believe due to my studies that it is possible to "touch" or "control" objects on another frequency. BUT, extremely difficult. Okay, I will give you an example. When one projects out of one's physical body, we also will project to a higher and thinner frequency . Primarily, our surroundings as we know them from day to day are on a much "lower" frequency. Therefore, when we project outside of our physical bodies and begin to use our Astral Bodies, we no longer are dealing with the same existence. We can actually, walk through a wall or a closed door. There is no need to open it. This frequency that we will actually be on will be moving at a much faster speed. We can literally do things that we usually find impossible when encased in our physical bodies. We can move from place to place within less than seconds. We need only "think" or "visualize" in our minds where we want to go or be..... there is no need for public transportation or cars, etc. We no longer have to speak with our vocal chords or listen with our human ears. We will be using "thought transfer". Stopping right here, think of this: HAVE YOU EVER SAID TO SOMEBODY, "HEY, I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT!" If we think about it, this might be the part of US, that we very rarely use? BUT.....YOU WILL LEARN, WE ALL HAVE THE ABILITIES. THEY ARE THERE WITHIN US, WE JUST HAVE TO TAP INTO THEM AND WAKE THEM UP. DEVELOP THEM, JUST AS WE DEVELOPED EVERYTHING ELSE WE USE IN THIS PHYSICAL REALITY!
Your "natural" abilities will start to be at an all time high! Your psychic abilities will "open so wide" that you will laugh out loud! (By the way, no this will not give you the ability to win The Lottery)
Just as in physical reality, these astral planes have "rules". I do not know who makes them? (God, I guess). For many years it was attempted to use things such as Out of Body Experiences, Remote Viewing, etc. during the war. The tremendous amonts of failures, out numbered the minor successes.
Now don't get me wrong here, because I want you to know that there are things that one can do with one's highly developed psychic abilities. BUT, from my studies, I discovered that if you invade on another person's privacy with any success, it will definitely lead to a very bad outcome for you!
Here I will say, it is very important that you use your gifts for your own personal advancements or to the support of those in need of it. But to meddle in others affarirs or to believe you can do ANYTHING that is unethical.... IT WILL BE LIKE, STANDING IN FRONT OF A CONCRETE WALL AND THROWING A HARD BASEBALL AT THE WALL..............IT WILL REBOUND RIGHT BACK AT YOU AND HIT YOU WITH TREMENDOUS FORCE IN THE EYE!
Yup, The Universe has been created to perfection. At this time, I have definitely not "seen" it all, but I can surely relate to you what I have "seen". And that is: THERE ARE DEFINITELY "RULES!"

Love and Light!

LETTING GO.............

Shortly before I found myself accomplishing what I had started in "letting go" of my beloved Anderson, I was surprised one day by information given to me by one of my Assistants with my work, Gerard. (I believe I have mentioned him before as the son of my longtime girlfriend, Vita. He had the "gift" of OBEs that were very advanced, but his experiences were pretty much related to his wayward ways as a struggling youth attempting to find direction). In spite of any of those things, he was my most outstanding verification of OBEs at that time. He was also a friend to Anderson when he was living on this earth physically.
One early afternoon, he arrived to work at my workshop. He was anxious to tell me about the night's OBE he had experienced. He also yelled it out as he entered the front door to the apartment, MARSHALL, I SAW ANDERSON! He continued as we sat down for coffee, HE LOOKS GREAT. HE GOES TO A PLACE AND THEY TAKE TURNS USING SOME KIND OF A PHONE TO COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE HERE ON THIS EARTH. I immediately asked the question, "Has he tried to call me or speak to me using this method?" Gerard's quick reply was, NO. I was stunned, "Why?" I spoke out to  him for an answer.
MARSHALL, I ASKED HIM IF HE WAS GOING TO MAKE CONTACT BY THIS METHOD WITH YOU AND HE SAID, YOU ARE NOT READY YET FOR HIM TO CONTACT YOU USING THIS METHOD. I immediately accepted his response and did not press the issue. We went to work and the subject was not discussed anymore that day.
A few months later something happened to me that really shook me up. It was in the afternoon on a very quiet day. I sat down on the bed and was about to meditate. As I did so, I suddenly became paralyzed physically. Every thing went totally black. Within seconds, I seemed to be lifted up, but not onto the floor of my bedroom. I found myself standing upright on what seemed to be a small road?
It was brightly lit. The light was whiter than white! Everything and everybody was as clear as could be....clearer than anything I had ever seen in physical life. I am about to described some things to you now, that I can only struggle to describe, due to the fact, I just do not know how to put most of it into "words as we know them", but I will do my best.
Standing on this road there were people in a line walking pass me. They seemed to be wearing "white" gowns or robes? They all seemed lit up like light bulbs. I thought at first that I recognized one of them that passed me as a friend from my recent past who had died. Suddenly out of nowhere, one of them just turned and came forward to me. He was grinning and looked like ........ I don't know for sure he was all lit up from within so bright. He came closer to me and as he did, I could see and feel the energy from him and his hair was long and flowing and his eyes were piercing. I have no idea why I said the following, but I just seemed to yelled out at him and say, WHO ARE YOU? CHRIST??? He seemed to grab my arm and pull me with him to move somewhere away from the others. I moved with him and then he suddenly said to me, WE HAVE TO HIDE. WE HAVE TO GET DOWN! He pulled me down to the road or ground, behind what seemed a huge stone so that we would not be seen....... Suddenly, a figure that I cannot describe rose up slowly from the other side of the stone and its head slowly revolved around as if to be checking to see if anyone was hiding? I remember the figure had huge eyes and I thought it seemed to be like a cartoon of a man??? I was not sure. BUT, I was suddenly horrified and within less than a second I was back in my room on my bed.
I jumped up and was energized like I had never been before in my life! I felt like someone had injected me with enough adrenaline to send me to the Moon!!!
I stood up and was in a panic. I could not stand still. My first thought was, OH MY GOD! THIS IS HORRIBLE! I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT! There is just too much electricity running through my body. (Maybe I should go to emergency at the near by hospital???) But, I had to go to my gallery and make a delivery of some things. I decided to follow my plan to take work to the gallery. When I arrived at the gallery, and walked in like a lightening rod, the person sitting at the counter looked at me and said, OH MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU??? YOU LOOK SO STRANGE? All I could say was, WHY? The person said, YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF GLOW ALL OVER YOUR BODY, LIKE YOU ARE LIT UP OF SOMETHING.......YOU LOOK STRANGE, VERY STRANGE!!! I quickly left the packages that I brought with me at the counter and ran out of the gallery and got back home as quickly as possible. Arriving home I threw myself on my bed and fell immediately to sleep. I never woke up until the next morning. I had slept from about 5 p.m. in the afternoon until 12 noon the next day! I sat up refreshed and elated. It was amazing. I felt so wonderful and then the message or thought came into my head: IT WAS ANDERSON! THAT WAS ANDERSON! I ALMOST DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM.......HE LOOKED SO DIFFERENT, BUT IT WAS HIM.....THAT GRIN......WOW! (I was not suppose to be there or go that far. But he showed me his everlasting love and compassion and "took me there". WOW!)
That was the last OBE I have had with Anderson. I have not "seen" him since that time and I am very, very comfortable with it. I "know" where he is and I know he is doing fine. I am happy for him and I know that all is well with him now. I am convinced that he will always be around to check me out, but I know that I have given him the satisfaction of knowing now, that I too am OK!

Love and Light!
Marshall

MEDITATIONS AND OBES

As I have said before, Meditations on a regular basis began to definitely open wider my visions into the non-physical dimensions.
One morning after meditating and then relaxing on my bed upon waking up, I heard the voice of Anderson very clearly say to me, I AM FINE! I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU ARE SO WORRIED ABOUT ME? I AM JUST FINE! My response without even thinking was very angry, WELL, I AM NOT! I sat up in bed and realized how terrible I was reacting at that moment. I was being very selfish and thinking only of myself and how "I" felt about his departure. I was embarrassed and spent most of the day thinking about my reaction. I felt that I was continuing to grieve and that he was doing fine and I did not have to worry about him.... But, instead, I was completely consumed with my own feelings of loss.
A week or so later, I woke up one morning and immediately sensed someone sitting at the foot of my bed with his back to me. In my mind I yelled out, OH MY GOD! HE IS RIGHT THERE. HE'S RIGHT HERE. HE IS RIGHT NEXT TO ME AND I THOUGHT HE WAS SO FAR AWAY. HE HAS BEEN HANGING BY ME ALL OF THIS TIME AND I DID NOT REALLY KNOW IT!
I did not move. I just stared at him sitting there in front of me, seeming to be looking ahead out of the bedroom windows. He was in some kind of bright white light, and his hair was long and looked like dark brown silk. He seemed to be wearing a very, very bright white robe, or nightgown, I was not sure, but it was nothing I had ever seen him wear in physical life? He never turned around to face me. Suddenly I felt myself being lifted up and to the floor and to the foot of the bed where he had been sitting. But he was no longer there.... I immediately looked ahead of me out of the window and saw that he was now standing there in front of the house on the street, just casually watching a few people pass by. At one point I saw him greet two people that were passing. They seemed to exchange "Hellos" and then within less than seconds... I was back in my bed, looking at the window with the morning sunshine coming through. He was gone?
That day, I realized that it was going to be necessary for me to "Let go." To stop holding on to him and permit him to move on to a higher place and continue his journey forward. But I knew that this was going to take a lot of work on my part. 
I made up my mind that I would do my best to do the right thing and work at "letting go!"
In the days and weeks to come, I worked very hard at accomplishing what I set out to do. BUT........I was totally unprepared for what was to come. Something so amazing happened to me one day, that I shall never forget, for the rest of my life!!!

Love and Light!

HAVING A VIVID IMAGINATION AND OBES

Having a very vivid and wild imagination can be a plus for promoting OBEs. Since I had always lived in a "part-time" fantasy world, I knew for sure that I would have an advantage with Astral Projections. I had always "imagined" being in the company of movie stars and various people in show business. When I got into my first Broadway play, I almost felt as if I was suppose to be there after all of my work and use of my imagining these events. I remember the first time I met Elizabeth Taylor, the famous movie star and even though I was somewhat shy at that moment backstage, she yelled out, "Little Marshall!" (I was kind of small for my age at the time). She was an amazing human being, she wanted to meet all of the cast members.... including "little me!"

As a performer on tour later in my career, I remember, Frankie Avalon coming back to my dressing room to greet me and how I had immediately looked at him and said, WOW! HOW IS ANNETTE FUNNICELLO? As a boy I had watched The Mousketeer Television Show and imagined being one...Talking to James Earle Jones "before" he became the amazing "voice" in STAR WARS was a real treat, since I always wanted to meet this amazing actor. So many of my imagined visions became realities.

One of the most amazing incidents in my life I must say is when a major motion picture actress, Scarlette Johansson walked into my gallery and said to me, MR. HILL, I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO OWN ONE OF YOUR PIECES OF ART SINCE I WAS A YOUNG GIRL AND NOW I GET TO BUY ONE! You see, when you ask or imagine something, be sure you will be ready for how The Universe continues to present it to you. (By the way, I was embarrassed by the fact that I did not know who she was??? At this point I was beginning to realize how "old" I was getting. Various people around me had to inform me of her stardom in the industry. I still laugh at myself to this day!)

Many times while spending time in my fantasy world, I would imagine various things and places that with time would become a "physical reality". I am convinced we can ALL do this! I have been all over the world in my travels, BUT, first, I do know I "imagined" it.

Holding on to our "dreams" and our "imaginations" are probably one of the most important parts of our journey here on earth. Never let someone destroy your dreams and your hopes of what YOU want in this life. It does not matter if they tell you what you 'desire" is inappropriate. Always think about what YOU WANT, not what THEY WANT, or what they tell you to do during your journey. We should always stop and think and listen to our "soul" our "higher selves" and the "little voices" from within our minds. Of course there are those who will say they are trying to help us or guide us in the right direction, BUT, we must always evaluate these messages given by others and filter them and kind of, "pick and choose". Think always before you act. THINK ABOUT IT. Is this....will this....be good for ME? Yes or No? Then act on it. Advice is always worth listening to if it's intentions are sincere and pure. We have to always remember, our journey is OUR journey and their journey is THEIRS. It is true. None of us are the same. We are all different in nature. We all have different journeys and different goals to achieve while passing through this class. All we have to do is look around us and open our eyes wide and we will "see" why, whatever we do or say, we will be responsible for its outcome, good or bad. And yes, we are all allowed mistakes. We learn by our mistakes and most times we are given the opportunity to correct them, either in this incarnation or the next.

I would like to complete this particular session with once agin saying that we all have imaginations and we all use them differently. We must not be thwarted by anyone or anything.

Always remember to think about very simple things that we have faced or will face during our journeys. Entering into this existence, can anyone "do it for us?" And also, when it is time to exit this existence, is there someone else who can "do it for us?" Think about it.



Love and Light!

AUNTIE AND UNCLE HARDING

During the Spring of 1995, I woke up early one morning and remained in bed meditating. Soon, I found myself experiencing the preliminary procedures of an OBE. I anxiously went with the "flow". Soon I found myself out of my body and walking up a country road that seemed very familiar to me. Within seconds, I knew exactly where I headed in my walk. I was carrying a small suitcase and walking up the road in Danville, Virginia. A place I had been many times in my childhood to visit my sister (Mini-Mom) who lived with Auntie and her husband, Uncle Harding. (As a child, my brother and myself had been sent to live with my Mother's Mother and my sister was sent to live with Auntie and Uncle Harding.
(Mother and Daddy had to arrange this kind of living situation for us, due to the difficulties of their work in New York City ).
Both Auntie and Uncle Harding were the most beautiful and loving and spiritual persons imaginable! (Mini-Mom was lucky to have been living with them).
They both had passed on several years before I had this OBE. As I walked up the road, I suddenly recognized the huge white house they had lived in... A young girl was standing behind the white fence and smiled at me. I wasn't too sure who she actually was??? I asked her if she knew Auntie and Uncle Harding. She said they were inside the house. I seemed to find myself immediately at the front door of the house. The door opened and I was greeted by Auntie. She was so happy to see me and invited me inside. I found myself inside the house in the kitchen (a place I remember very well.....The huge kitchen where all of the amazing foods were prepared during our visits to them as a child) But, in the kitchen there was only she and Uncle Harding sitting at a small table having what seemed to be tea or coffee. They were together and very content to be so. I sat with them and felt their love and concern for my being there with them on this visit.
As quickly as all of this happened......it was over. I sat up in my bed and reflected on my experience with them....... Later I told my sister about the experience and asked who the girl who greeted me outside might be? She gave me several scenarios, once of which was, it might have been their adopted daughter, Thelma, who was someone I knew very well also. She lived with them and was a beautiful person also. But, she too had passed on from an illness. Were they all sharing some time together in this very familiar place before moving on? I do not know? But I do know.....for me, this was one of the truly beautiful gifts I was honored to have been bestowed upon me in one of my OBEs.

MORE CONFIRMATIONS OF OBES

I am just returning from visiting my life long friend and his partner in Puerto Rico. THE JEWEL OF THE CARIBBEAN! And, yes it is true. Heaven on Earth for me. The island and its' wonderful inhabitants. My friend has displayed to me how we can aspire to anything we desire on this planet and ....achieve it! From the realms of despair and torment during a difficult and abusive childhood, in addition to struggling financially. My beloved friend has risen to become an established Artist, Poet, and Real Estate Executive with major estates acquired by hard work and great visions! I am both proud and impressed with his achievements and "see" without a doubt, one can achieve all that one wishes with hard work and creative visualization!
He always brings to my attention the spiritual fact, that during our journey here on this earth, there are "certain" individuals that will walk into your life during your journey that will almost seem like a character making an entrance on stage in a play "on cue". He has been one of, if not, the most powerful individual to join me here on this earth at the right time and right place. During the tremendous amount of years he and I have known each other, we have been bonded together by what seems like, more than "Brothers?" His concerns and his always having reached out to me in my times of both joy and deepest despair, have all been truly UNCONDITIONAL on his part.
As I matured, and as my metaphysical gifts became more evident, I began to realized that this person was more than "special". My head slowly began to turn around and observe his actions towards me and how our connection was so indestructible. We both have come a long way. During that time we have been through some of the most difficult times. (His services during The Viet Nam War would make a book unto itself.)
I would suggest that any one reading my writings here would stop for a moment and reflect on "someone" in your life that has been similar to what I have told you here about my friend. I truly believe that you will suddenly "see" that when one arrives on this planet, we do not arrive without PERSONS who will be at your side to support you on your journey, during the most difficult times of your life!
And guess what else.........THEY WERE THE ONES TO MAKE US LAUGH THE LOUDEST WHEN WE TRIED TO MAKE LIFE SO COMPLEXED. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT MADE US SUDDENLY REALIZE, IF ONLY FOR A MOMENT, THAT LIFE IS VERY, VERY SIMPLE..................... "WE" ATTACH THE DRAMA AND THE COMPLEXITIES OF IT ALL.
I would like to share with you another of my confirmational OBEs. Another of my closest friends and business partner for many years has been someone that developed into a friendship that was that of a brother. His parents considered me his "brother" and treated me as part of the family. Therefore, through these years of bonding, I was devastated once more by the loss of his father. I spent so much time with his father when we visited during our many hundreds of gatherings, etc. We shared so many conversations together and I felt so connected to him through all of these many, many years.
I do remember one of my brief OBEs when Anderson suddenly appeared before me in a room with a "huge grin/smile" on his face, as he pointed to a large framed photograph of my friend's father??? Anderson had never met my friend's father?
There was also something else displayed to me. A Christmas Tree. Besides Christmas being Anderson's favorite time of the year, it also seemed to insinuate another message?
Later that year, in or around the Christmas season, my friends' father passed away due to Cancer.  Spending time with him before his passing on, broke my heart.
After his passing. My friend and I spent time dealing with his Mother and visiting her to guide her through her grief and despair being left without her wonderful and loving husband.
One day after having visited her with my friend, I woke up the following morning and had an OBE. I was with her husband in another place? He was whole and healthy and strong again. He seemed to be permitting me to walk with him as he chose a new house to live in........ At one point he turned to me and gave me some "personal advice" about my present life. Then he suddenly put in front of him, a ham, a very specific type of ham, since I am into being somewhat of a "hobby chef."  It was a "fresh ham". He showed it to me and then proceeded to prepare a sandwich for himself. I immediately returned to my physical body in my bed. I was somewhat confused by this last action, BUT, not totally. I knew exactly what to do. But, I had to be discreet and not alarm his wife with my investigation.
I waited one day and then I called his wife and we had a nice conversation. At a certain point during the conversation, I popped the question: I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION? She said, "Okay" I replied, "Please tell me something. What was SF...........favorite sandwich?" Without even pausing, she immediately said to me, "Ham sandwiches! He loved ham sandwiches. He would even eat a ham sandwich over a specially prepared gourmet meal. BUT, Marshall. IT HAD TO BE "FRESH HAM", he loved fresh ham!"
Well, this was made very clear to me at this point in my observations of OBEs or any other communications from those whom had "crossed over". They will give you a kind of "confirmational" picture to confirm that you are NOT imagining your experience when being with them, but, what you are experiencing is VERY, VERY, REAL. I really miss him...I know he is still very much alive, but in another dimension and we are still here, attempting to complete our lessons.

ANOTHER CONFIRMATION BY MINI-MOM!

Shortly after Anderson's departure, I remember an OBE that presented itself to me one morning after having awaken. I suddenly found myself riding to an unknown destination in a red shiny car. (Note, sometimes when we travel in the astral body, we do not comprehend we are actually traveling without a vehicle of transportation, such as an airplane, a roller coaster, a train, automobile, etc. What we do is, "create" these methods of transportation to give sensibilities to our movements "flying" or "gliding" effortlessly across different areas.)
Anyway, I suddenly arrived at this, what seemed to be a hotel entrance? I quickly got out of the "car" as if I knew exactly where I was headed for on this trip. I walked into the front entrance and found myself in a lobby with couches, a front desk, etc. I did not check at the front desk or anything, I just walked quickly through the lobby knowing my destination.
In a short time, I passed a couch and to my surprise, my Uncle Bob was sleeping quietly on it in an upright position, which he always did when he was either visiting me or at any family gathering. (He always began to nod after a short time and no one ever seem to want to disturb him......) My first thoughts were, "What on earth is Bob doing here???" I continued to move and found myself in a room. It was a HOSPITAL ROOM? Anderson was reclining on a hospital bed fully dressed and reading a Comic Book! (He loved comic books and animated art of all kinds). I smiled at him and without more than a second it seemed passed and he jumped up when he saw me and and said, "Let's go!" I have not idea where we were going, but he looked totally in perfect health and very whole.
As we walked through the lobby of this place, I once again saw Bob on the couch. I immediately said to Anderson, "What is Bob doing here? Why is he just sleeping there alone on that couch???" Anderson seemed to be totally unconcerned and simply replied to me, "Don't worry about it, lets go!" We continued our journey out of the front entrance to the street and I did not see the red car where I thought I had parked it........I yelled out it seemed, OH NO! THEY HAVE TOWED MY CAR!!! OH NO!!!" I sat up in my bed immediately. And was really confused at this entire experience I had just had during my astral projection.
I do remember a week or two later relaying my OBE to my sister, Patricia over the phone. There was a silence. And then she continued the conversation and did not really comment on the experience? I did not find it odd or anything.....I just assumed she probably thought to herself , "Oh Boy, here goes my grieving brother having strange dreams again". BUT, that was not really the case as I soon found out during one of our future conversations.
During a call from her we were carrying on a conversation and my Uncle Bob and my Aunt were being discussed. Mini-Mom suddenly inserted very clearly a comment into the conversation: "I failed to mention to you recently that Bob had been in the hospital with a very serious situation." I replied, "Really?" She said, "Yes. That is why when you told me recently about an OBE you had and you saw him I was rather surprised???"
My Uncle Bob died very shortly after that conversation. I will miss him...He was a wonderful person and a great husband to my Aunt. He ALWAYS treated my sister and brother and myself great. He was a very quiet man and his presence always was that of respect and kindness. He had a lot of what most people call "class".
Once while at a family gathering at a dinner table while everybody was preparing to eat and there was a lot of loud talking and laughing, I still remember something that caught my eye........ Bob was blessing his food before eating. Very privately and quietly. (That made a major impression on my soul).
More later........

CONFIRMATIONS WITH PETS IN OBES

Once night I found myself out of my body in a field walking quickly and turned to see YURI, my pal. My Siberian Husky who died of Cancer many, many years ago. He was so happy and excited and jumping up and down on me. I yelled out to him, Yuri!!! Oh Yuri! I seemed to be able to play with him just as in physical life.
I was so happy. So was he... It was really Yuri. He was still very much alive in some other dimension.
Our pets are so "sensitive". Wow, they can "see" what we cannot "see". Sometimes when I walk my dog Sambo, he is a 100 pound, 3 year old Akita. I always think of Yuri. (Even though he is a different breed....They sometimes look very similar). When we walk down a quiet street, it is amazing how I began to hear unseen dogs barking from houses. They bark at Sambo and I sometimes imagine what it would be like if dogs all got together in a "pack" and roamed the earth. They really can sense one another no matter where they are enclosed. I also have another dog. Weiskie. He is a Pug. He is older and the Boss. His weight...about 10 or 15 pounds, ahahahahaha! Sambo definitely will not over step his bounds with Weiskie. And it is interesting to see how they bonded with each other, this little Pug and this huge Akita. To watch a Great Dane or Bull Dog come at either one of them at the local Dog Run is quite an experience! Weiskie literally attacks the huge dogs first as Sambo backs him up!
I am both laughing when this happens and a bit nervous, because Weiskie is so little? BUT.......this is truly the beginning of a pack.
Dogs dream and they have nightmares just as we do..... I always wake them up whenever they struggle and turn in their sleep and try to make inaudible sounds.
I can sense their fright and I usually wake them and comfort them just as our parents would do for us as small children. It's amazing. Dogs are so mysterious in that they express more unconditional love to us than any human being is really capable of doing. With time I decided that they were definitely spiritual beings of some order that we could not really comprehend fully. I also decided to believe they were created to set the most perfect example to us of unconditional love.
One evening sitting at my computer, I looked up behind me at my opened bedroom door to see Weiskie barking at the entrance to the bedroom. I looked for a few minutes and then, yelled, "Stop barking!" He did not. He continued. I almost got frightened because I thought of the possibility of someone being outside of the bedroom room, out of my view? Nope. There was not. He soon stopped.
Then the very next night sitting at my computer the same thing happened. He started to bark at the opened bedroom door. This time he ran over to the fireplace next to me and "ran around in a circle?" I just watched this time, totally confused? Then as quickly as he started this ritual it seemed, he stopped. He laid down on the floor and relaxed and went to sleep.
The next night it happened again. The entire routine. This time I looked at my watch. It was 9 p.m. Okay, I am going to remember this I thought to myself.
It really did kind of slip my mind the next night "until it actually started to happen again". I quickly looked at both my watch and the small clock over the fireplace, 9 P.M. He ran in the circle as usual and then he relaxed and took a nap.
I told one of my closest friends about it. She said, "This is what you should do the next time when and if it happens: "Speak out in the direction of where this all is happening and ask the question about what is going on???" I said, "Okay, I will".
Well, it happened again that very evening. I turned in my chair and look in the direction of the bedroom door where Weiskie was barking and first observed the scene. Weiskie looked upwards to about 5 or 6 feet in height and barked. I looked over and spoke out, "Who are you?" Weiskie stopped barking and looked at me silently. I spoke again in the same direction, "What do you want? Who are you?"
Weiskie was still silent, BUT, he first looked at me as I spoke and then he turned back to the direction of the area of where he had been barking. This time Weiskie was silent. He only moved his head as if to be following the direction of the movement of this "entity?" I watched Weiskie's head.....It slowly moved across the floor, towards my bed and up the wall to the figure of a stone wall hanging over the head of my bed.....the figure was a large figure of a Classic Angel/Cherub.
I still could "see" nothing just following Weiskie as he looked silently. When his head faced the Angel above my bed, I spoke again, "Who are you? What do you want, answer me!" Sitting in my chair, directly at the foot of my bed across the room at my computer, and facing the Angel. I could see Weiskie looking at the Angel and then me as I spoke and then back at the Angel statue. Then slowly Weiskie's head seem to turn from the statue and move slowly around to my direction as if something was moving downwards from the statue to the floor to me....... I was still and silent. Withing seconds. Weiskie jumped up and ran and got his toy and started to play with it in front of the fireplace as if nothing had ever happened? There is something I have always thought about and did not have a clear answer to....... "Who was visiting my bedroom those nights?" I would like to tell you something about a very cute and funny habit Weiskie had when he would greet me after having not seen me sometimes for unusual long periods of time. It was the ONLY time I would notice how he would try to first jump up into my arms and lick me so fast all over my face.....BUT, it never seemed to satisfy his excitement of welcoming me. He would jump on the floor or sidewalk and, RUN AROUND IN A CIRCLE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, for a few minutes and then return to me and try to jump up on me or beckon me to pick him up!!!
I just sat there silent. After that night, nothing like that ever happened again. Weiskie never repeated any of those activities at 9 P.M. again after that night.

Love and Light!

OBES AND CONFIRMATIONS FOR ME

I am going to spend some time giving you confirmations I have had involving OBEs. This means that there were many OBEs that seemed to happen for me in order to confirm that it was not my imagination and that I was definitely not dreaming these experiences.
The way those in another dimension attempt to help us to "believe" what is occurring is "real" is to set up "confirmations" by involving various other people or situations that we are not really expecting to happen to us.
Here is one:
As I was kind of lightening up on my grief period. I had an OBE that I am sure was presented to me to "confirm" that these were "real" experiences. Remember earlier I mentioned that Anderson told me outright when he was physically alive, that I just would not actually accept or believe paranormal experiences that I was capable of having.... I believe that this was one of several that he decided to confront me with during one of my OBEs.
One night between 2 and 4 a.m. (I always looked at the time after one would happen and noted that most happened between the hours of 2 a.m. and 9 a.m. These were the spontaneous OBEs......meaning I did not intentionally attempt to induce them). I awoke feeling the paralyses in my body parts and the procedure began. But this time, when I opened my astral eyes and found myself in a standing position on the floor, it was in "another location" , another house? It seemed to be a living room and it was totally white and the furniture was minimal. I noticed a couch against a wall first. It was a nice living room. I turned to my left and there was Anderson smiling at me and was silent. I just acted natural and said, "Hey". He immediately replied, "Hurry, I have a surprise for you, we have to go now". I just said, "Ok" and turned and seemed to follow him out of the front door of the living room. When we got outside. I turned to look back at the house. It was a small nice looking house, but I was not pleased with the front garden area surrounding it. I just looked at it and said, "Oh, I would like to make some alterations to this entrance. But I will do that later" I turned back around and without knowing how or why, I was suddenly inside what seemed to be a fast moving vehicle? It was moving very fast. (I do not like fast cars or anything fast moving with me in it). I got distracted for a moment when I turned to my right and saw my brother-in-law laughing wildly! I was so surprised that I called out his name, "Artie!!! Wow, its you!!!" Artie and my sister had been divorced for a long time before he had crossed over suddenly . Anderson had met him only once in his lifetime at a family gathering. Therefore, this was completely strange to me.
I was distracted by the speed of this movement and promptly seemed to yell out,
"No, this is going too fast. Please take me back!" I remember that no sooner had I made the request, than I was immediately back in Anderson's living room. I remember looking at Anderson as I seemed to get down on the floor in a reclining position as I said, "I have to go back now". It was as simple as that....I found myself in my bed opening my eyes.
I knew very well that I had definitely traveled somewhere out of body at that time, after some thought. First of all, I had no idea why Anderson would have taken me to see Artie??? Also, as long as I can remember, when dreaming, whenever I attempted to return to the same place I had departed during the dream, I COULD NOT GET THERE....OR, I WOULD GET THERE/BACK AND IT WOULD BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM WHEN I HAD LEFT THE FIRST TIME? This was something that really stuck in my after thoughts about this experience. I remember very clearly being placed back in the exact same living room as I had left with them. And lying down on the floor and saying, I had to go and then finding myself back in my bed was amazing!

IT IS NOT LIKE IT IS IN THE MOVIES!

I want to make sure that I emphasize to all that read this Blog that all that I tell you about my experiences with the paranormal and OBEs is NOT like in the films we might have viewed. It's not that dramatic or earth shattering. They have always been very natural, clearer than in the physical and very uplifting when revealing the answers to many mysteries.
Dr. Raymond Moody the author of the international best selling book and classic about Near Death Experiences, LIFE AFTER LIFE, continues to follow up on his research about the so called, Afterlife. His book REUNIONS/ Visionary Encounters With Departed Loved Ones, was a really interesting book for me. He tells of the experiments of attempting to contact departed Loved Ones and also gives the history of how the method of doing so goes all the way back to the times of early Greek culture. He also gives methods of which we might attempt to do so. Dr. Moody himself did the experiments using his own personal life and was successful. After reading the book during my grieving periods, I decided to get to work at doing so myself. It pretty much consists of mirrors and to blackout the other parts of a small room and focusing in on having someone departed present themselves to you. I tried for several months and nothing really happened unusual or paranormal. BUT.....I do not give up on anything that I really want that easily, so therefore I kept on trying. Eventually, I began to alter some of his preparations. I started to alter and elaborate, etc. on different physical objects and surroundings.
By the way, there are primarily things that always indicate an experience is beginning to happen, just as with the OBEs. Some of them are, as one focuses on a large mirror while relaxing and is very calm, you will start to see clouds or mist moving in the mirror at which point if you are successful at this time "something amazing starts to appear". While studying his information given, I was informed that not always is one going to "see" who he or she expects to see or wants to see!
Important information will be usually given to you by whomever appears in the mirror or walks or glides out of the mirror or whatever scene might appear.
Okay, one quiet afternoon I decided to take a shot at this again. I was feeling very nonchalant about it that afternoon and I walked slowly to the mirror and stood in front of it and started to "gaze" into the mirror........ Within seconds, the mirror began to fog up with what seemed to be mist and then floating colorful clouds that seemed to have beautiful lights glowing within them.... and very quickly I could see in the mirror, behind my right shoulder, Anderson looking at me with a huge grin on his face and without even thinking I simple yelled out "in my mind" to him, PLEASE, GET OUT OF HERE, I AM BUSY TRYING TO CONCENTRATE NOW! He was standing behind me as real as could be, AND, this time I was not attempting this experiment in the dark with dim lights as instructed by Dr. Moody. I was doing this next to a window with sunshine coming in brightly! As quickly as it came, it vanished when I yelled out in my mind to him......... For the rest of the afternoon and evening, I was laughing my ass off to myself! I could not believe what had just happened to me. It was so funny! The experiment had worked for me and it was so NATURAL/NORMAL him standing there that I told him he was in the way. I still sometimes laugh even now when I think about it.
Dr. Moody's experiences with people who came to him to get help in doing this, also reported that sometimes nothing happened, but something happen later or the next day unexpectedly to them pertaining to "seeing" something or someone.
Well, I believe I too could confirm that happening........ two days later after my encounter with someone who had departed, I got up in my normal manner and got a light breakfast and took a cup of coffee down to my workshop in the basement and sat down on my stool at the layout board and started to do my work. After a few minutes of quietly working (My assistant was not due until noontime). I very slowly turned my head to my right and looked at Anderson's sitting there, grinning, ("They are ALWAYS grinning or smiling or laughing it seems?) and said, YOU KNOW WHAT? I REALLY MISS HAVING YOU HERE WORKING WITH ME..... " And the strangest thing happened. I never even thought about it again until that afternoon around 3 p.m. I was sitting in a chair reading the mail and I suddenly looked up and said to myself, OH MY GOD! HE WAS THERE, OH MY GOD! And once again, I started laughing to myself. It just does not happen like it does in the movies?

OBES AND THE CATS

Anderson owned two cats. Max and Lily. They both hated each other to and whenever they were in visible contact with each other, they would try to kill each other!  But they were able to live under the same roof without much conflict as long as their domains were not invaded by the other, which was beginning to take a tremendous toll on me, because attempting to keep them apart all of the times, my body was being scratched without mercy!
As many already know, it is almost impossible to function normally under stressful conditions. While Anderson was in the hospital, I was attempting to take care of his two cats. A task which became just about impossible for me under the circumstances. Since I chose to deal with these conditions I found myself subjected to at the time, running a business, creating artwork, attempting to stay on top of all important affairs, I ran out of energy in my attempts to take care of those two cats, which I did in my heart care about..... Since he was in the hospital I decided to ignore that responsibility for him by having them both taken to a shelter. Actually, I was too much of a coward to do it myself, so I drove a friend to the shelter to turn them in for adoption. I never told Anderson. I decided when he was well enough and back at home again, I would explain.
I was going to have a lot of explaining to do, because I "knew" those two cats were going to be "put to sleep". I just had a "feeling" inside. (Most animals are not adopted, especially Cats....there are too many.)
One morning I walked into Anderson's room at the hospital and before even greeting me he said, "Hey, are my cats still at the apartment?" I blunted out, "Of course they are, why do you ask?" He frowned and looked at me and said, "When I woke up this morning, I saw both of them.... Max was a baby, he was small?" (Max was the oldest, he was 10 or 12) I asked, "What about Lily? Did you see her?" He replied, "No." (Lily was the youngest, she was 1 years old). At that very moment, I intuited that Max was physically dead. I was silent.
Several months later, early morning, I woke up. I became still. The process began. I was finally lifted up and to the foot of the bed and gently put on to the floor in a standing position. I was out of my body. I took a quick look at the bed that I was sleeping in and I could see only covers and pillows. I could not see my physical body, I assumed it was under all of those covers.  OR, I suspect that I was still timid about "seeing" my astral body?  (During one's OBES you can control that which you wish to see or know if you have the desire to do so.)
I moved quickly out of my bedroom and down the short hall to the living room area. The living room looked "strange?" It was full of vines and plants on the walls. I should make a note to you, that my living room did have some vines and plants breaking into the walls in physical reality. I had always found this interesting. Once, I remember discussing it with others that lived in the Brownstone....I never actually showed it to them and I "knew" they did not believe me.  (I did once show it to my landlords' wife, who was a Psychologist and a strong believer in metaphysics.  We were good friends.  When she saw my windows and the corners of my walls with the vines breaking in various places, she immediately said, "Marshall, there is such a tremendous amount of vibrations/energies in your apartment that they are reaching inside via its' energies...")  Once in the dead of winter, there was snow in the back garden piled up in the middle of February. I saw something odd. There was a full bloomed red rose about 12 inches tall standing erect out of the snow. I immediately went outside and it was real! I had to pull it out of the ground and I took it inside the house and put it in water. Soon, I took it and pressed it in a Bible that I owned. It is still there to this day.  (By the way, again, the landlord's wife also saw it from her windows upstairs.....Her husband a physician, jokingly, said we were both crazy, until one night he was freaking out because all of the chairs and dinning room table in their apartment began to "shake and move!"  He would not get up and go to check out what was going on.....His wife did.  And that was the first time she saw the Rose in the snow out of the windows.)  She smiled at me one afternoon when passing on the street and told me about it all.  She also very casually said to me, "Marshall, Anderson was here last night!"
Getting back to what I was saying before. Looking around in the living room, I saw many things that had "changed?" I lost interest I guess and decided to attempt to continue investigating the apartment. I decided to go downstairs to my workshop and check it out. As I walked over to the stairs, I sense something following me? I immediately turned around and looked downwards and thought to myself, OH MY GOD! IT'S MAX!!! He continued to follow me down the stairs and into the workshop. When I arrive in the workshop, it was totally different. It was a complete forest of vines and plants and shrubbery. I immediately was shot back to my physical body in the bed.
I believe that from what I had studied about the OBEs. I was either in "another dimension" to see these changes, or I was in "a past time when this apartment existed", or I could have been "dreaming?" A person can sometimes dream while in the out of body state of being.

Love and Light!
