"All actions are judged by the motives prompting them."
.......Sayings of the Prophet Muhammad
Tuesday morning, between 5 and 6 A.M. I could see that I was on my bed high above The Brooklyn Bridge. I got the impression that I was somewhat confused of how I got there and at first thought that I might be "dreaming", since I no longer lived only a short distance from the bridge. (I now lived very far away?) Suddenly, I realized that someone was standing right next to me, seeming to be attempting to comfort me as if they were very much aware of the fact that I was terrified of "heights!"
I immediately realized that this was NOT a dream and I was not standing, but sitting up on on my bed in my apartment. The bed seemed to to be slanted sideways in a downwards way, and I became even more frightened because I was thinking I might slide off of the bed!
I could see a building to my right. It was very familiar to me since I had driven past that building next to the bridge frequently going to the gallery at the seaport for several years in the past. It was incredibly tall. I do not remember it being THAT tall.... It seemed to be the tallest building I had ever seen in my entire life! I remember thinking to myself, I WOULD BE TERRIFIED LOOKING OUT OF THE WINDOWS IF I LIVED IN THAT BUILDING!
My thoughts returned to my fear of the heights as I seemed to glide smoothly over the bridge below me, the water, the various buildings and above the sky, the clouds, EVERYTHING WAS AWESOMELY SCARY TO ME! It was just too high up in the air.......... I got the feeling I was sliding off of the bed at this point and within less than a second it seemed, I WAS BACK IN MY BED. End of experience... Unlike most my OBEs, I was not disappointed that suddenly ended so abruptly. By the way, I think I should mention to you at this point something I have come to realize... Working on our various fears of things such as heights, speed, monsters, and various other phobias, seem to be attached to our thoughts and in all probability will accompany us in other dimensions. I have found it interesting that if I take the time to really face some of my phobias, and work on over-coming them, that it is very worthwhile. All my life I have had a tremendous fear of reptiles? I decided one day to attempt to experiment and do something that might help me to over-come this fear. One day I spent time visiting several pet shops that had reptiles. I then spent a great deal of time going over to all of the tanks that contained reptiles and get as close as possible to them and just stand and look at them ....It turned out to be very interesting and helpful to me, because I decided to study them very closely and try to find interest in their behaviour, etc. It worked! IT REALLY WORKED! My fears have since somewhat but not completely, begin to dissipate. As far as my fear of "heights" thus far I have not resolved it. What is always interesting is that whenever I have had an Out of Body Experience involving "heights" I have primarily always "sensed" an "unseen" entity accompanying me when traveling? More later...
Love and Light!
