YIKES! OBES DISPLAYING THE POSSIBILITIES OF PHYSICAL LIFE BEING NOTHING MORE THAN AN "ILLUSION!!!" PART III

Light is not recognized except through darkness!

A Yiddish proverb

Recently, I have found myself in the presence of young boys and girls that several years ago would have been labeled as, INDIGO CHILDREN.  This label or idea was based on the New Age concepts developed in the 1970s by a woman named Nancy Ann Tappe.  The term was a pseudo scientific label given to children who are claimed to have unusual supernatural abilities.  This was never really validated by proof, but received a great deal of publicity due to the fact that so many parents decided that their child or children were "special" and fell into this category.  (Unfortunately, by doing so, many of these parents were putting their children in serious situations because their so called, INDIGO CHILDREN were children with various other disorders
such as ADD and ADHD, etc. )  Recently, I researched and watched some old videos depicting parents with their special children being interviewed and my immediate thoughts were that these parents' EGOS were bigger than their small young children in statue.
These children were described as having colored Indigo auras?  Interesting?  I am sure that there were and are very special and gifted children here on the planet ...... How this is determined I would only be "guessing" without being able to discern the messages given me  during my OBEs.  Yet, recently there is a good possibility that the young children that have encountered recently have left me somewhat in awe??? 
I would like to give some background before I begin to clarify what has led up to my present confrontation with young boys and girls that I find myself surrounded by these days.
Without giving too much detail, I found myself when I moved to my present residence, in the presence of lots of young children ranging in primarily the ages of 5 years old to young teens.  Each family in the area seems to have a minimum of 3 to 5 children to my surprise.  They all seem very well mannered and very respectful of adults. (I have come to conclusion that this is primarily due to their cultural upbringings.)  As some of us might have forgotten (I know I did......Aahahah) THEIR MAIN GOAL IN LIFE IS TO "PLAY!!!"  Myself having become more reclusive than ever before and more observant of the surroundings in which I reside, came to notice something very surprising.  Even without actually always "seeing" these children, I was constantly able to "hear" their loud screaming and yelling and laughing, etc.  Some adults might find that very annoying.  NOT ME!  The sounds of these childrens' laughter and constant playing brought not only comfort to me, but began to send memories to my somewhat jaded/adult mind that was awesome!  Why?  Because during many of my quiet and pensive moments of reflecting on my past memories of my life and problems and present on-going complexities, the sounds of these children would often make me laugh out loud thinking of how much fun they were having not having to face the adult world.  I have come to love and adore their yelling and screaming and laughing and huge smiles.  Of course due to the fact that I have a very huge dog which when taking outside of the apartment for his daily walks, I would be confronted with various children screaming and yelling both in horror and in glee!!!  He has been called everything from a bear, to a wolf, etc.  The children always make me laugh too.  Once while walking Sambo, my dog home, a boy stopped me to ask if he was a Wolf?  Being playful, I responded, "Yes, he is..."  The boy replied very confidently, "Oh, I thought so!"  (He made me laugh so much when I confessed to him that I was only joking.) 
I usually try to take Sambo out either early in the morning when no one is around or in Winter when they are at school.  Or late at night.
One early morning I ran outside with him in a rush and bumped into two teenagers walking towards myself and Sambo.  The girl screamed in horror and the boy yelled out, OH MY GOD!  WHAT IS THAT??? A BEAR???  I laughed and said, WHAT ON EARTH HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN SMOKING!!!???
A friend who lives in the house behind me has a huge family of eight people.  5 children.  I will speak here of 2 of them.  An 11 year old boy and his 5 year old sister.
Their father was inside my apartment one day pre-occupied with viewing some of the art materials that I use for my work.  The boy walks into the kitchen via the opened backdoor and approaches me sitting at my work table and says, (I will now attempt to give you the conversation between the two of us)  WHAT ARE YOU DOING?  I looked at him and said, I AM TRYING TO READ SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE WORK I AM DOING.  He smiles and says, WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT AND PLAY WITH US?  I looked at him in surprise and said, I AM MUCH TOO OLD TO PLAY WITH YOU KIDS and then I laughed.  He looked me in the eye with seriousness, FIRST OF ALL YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD TO PLAY WITH US AND SECONDLY, MAYBE IF YOU CAME OUT TO PLAY WITH US YOU WOULD GET SOME NEEDED EXERCISE!  I continued to laughed and was just speechless?  The next question almost blew me away...... He said, YOU ARE ONE OF US RIGHT?  My intuition kicked in........I said to him, LISTEN, YOU ARE A LITTLE BULLY!  He laughed, I AM NOT A BULLY.  I said, YES YOU ARE.  I ALWAYS SEE YOU PUSH EVERYBODY AROUND AND YOU ALWAYS INSIST THAT YOU ARE IN CHARGE.  He laughed and said, JUST LIKE YOU.  WE BOTH KNOW HOW THINGS SHOULD BE AND WE GET IMPATIENT.  I asked him this question without thought, DO YOU KNOW WHAT AN INDIGO CHILD IS?  He did not even stop to give the question any thought....He replied, THEY DON'T CALL US THAT ANYMORE.  WE ARE CALLED, "THE CHILDREN OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM".  I asked him how he knew this?  He told me that one of his teacher's at school had told him.....  He said that his sister was one also and that all of the "strange" things that he was able to "see" she too could "see".  I asked if his parents or anybody else in his family knew about this and he quickly said, NO, THEY DO NOT.  IF THEY KNEW, THEY WOULD BELIEVE WE WERE CRAZY.  THAT IS THE REASON I ONLY DISCUSS THESE THINGS WITH MY SISTER.  WE KEEP THEM A SECRET.  LIKE THE GIRL THAT WAS ALWAYS IN THE OLD HOUSE WE USE TO LIVE IN AND CAME EVERY NIGHT.  SHE WOULD NOT LEAVE.  I asked if he was afraid?  He said at first he and his sister were very much afraid, but then they got accustomed to her visits and they became almost like friends.  He told me that he told "one" teacher at school that he "trusted" about her and she told him to go look up references on her on the Internet.  (Had she ever lived in the house in the past?)  He did so and found out that a family and a girl such as this did live in the house in the past, BUT, he was unable to find a photograph of her or what happened to her?  My next question to him was, DO YOU DISCUSS ANY OF THIS WITH THE OTHER KIDS THAT YOU PLAY WITH ANY OF THE OTHER CHILDREN THAT I SEE YOU AND YOUR SISTER PLAYING WITH?  He immediately replied to me, NO. WE ONLY TALK ABOUT TOYS AND THINGS WITH THEM.  I then asked him the question, DO YOU KNOW WHAT AN "AURA" IS?  He promptly replied, YOU MEAN THOSE LIGHTS AROUND PEOPLE?  I said, YES.  He looked me in the eyes and giggled and said, YEAH, YOURS IS "WHITE!"  I SAW YOU FROM OUTSIDE ONE TIME  WALK INTO YOUR KITCHEN AND IT WAS ALL AROUND YOUR HEAD.  ME AND MY SISTER ALWAYS "SEE" STUFF LIKE THAT."

YIKES! OBES DISPLAYING THE POSSIBILITIES OF PHYSICAL LIFE BEING NOTHING MORE THAN AN "ILLUSION!!!" PART II

"One way to stop judging others is to realize that most of our judgements are fallacies.  We judge something to be right or wrong, good or bad, when this distinction is actually an illusion....."  Author Unknown

With very open minds and without back-sliding into being judgemental, please permit me to continue to share my thoughts with you on the idea of our creating an illusionary physical existence here on planet Earth.
Maybe, just maybe, our desperate search for love and a partnership with another physical being could be feasible, BUT, misguided by our own egos?
Why is the divorce rate so tremendously high?  Why do so many of us fall in and out of love almost like eating popcorn?  Why do so many children growing up give so much time to the thought of getting "out of the house?"  Getting away from the so called, rules and regulations of the parents.  Preferring the company of friends and outside acquaintances rather than spending so much time with "family?"  Why does sexual encounters become so casual/transient and begin to have so little substance?  Why so much conflict between families?  On and on and on......But, let's pick this apart and determine what the possibilities might be?
I discovered years ago during the OBEs that during the process of being out of the physical body, I had the abilities to "create, pick and choose whatever I wanted to materialize........including the way I myself could choose to "look". 
Everything always seemed so much more "natural" to me when outside of the physical body.  I seemed to be able to both exist and travel within a more comfortable environment.  As I have mentioned previously, being outside of the physical body, I found that I could adjust anything I so desired to be exactly as I might wish it to be at the moment.  Also, it is important to note that when doing this, one must begin to realize that one must acquired the skill of "holding on to each creation" in order to maintain it.
We have the ability to change or alter how we might appear.  BUT....outside of the body, we do NOT look as we do here in the physical.  This brought me to the realization that all those around us on the physical plane can collectively decide, using their EGOS and JUDGEMENTS, to decide which people and things will be considered, what we call, attractive and unattractive.  Already this is what is called, a duality.  (Each of which gets its meaning from the other, as to what the other is not.  (Here is an example:  Day and Night, bad and good, wrong and right, happy and sad, fat and thin, etc.)  These are all illusions.  If one half of the duality is missing, then the other half has no meaning.
We use this method when being judgemental.  Should we come to the realization that all of these are actually an illusion?  (All dualities are illusions).  I suppose this would be a excellent method for all of us to discontinue judging others?
Here I will mention something Betty Eady experienced during her long and detailed Near Death Experience.  Someone at one of her talks stood up and presented what was a reality and a fact to themselves here on the physical plane, "I was once told by a Medium that if I were to die and go to Heaven that I would become more attractive".  Her response was, "Oh, we do not look like this in actual reality!  While having this experience I knelt down next to a beautiful stream of water and looked into it and suddenly realized that I was viewing a reflection of myself in the water and to my surprise, I DID NOT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE I HAD SEEN IN A MIRROR OR PHOTOGRAPH ON THIS EARTH!"
My thoughts, there are many, many important and determined decisions we all make before coming to this earth plane to advance ourselves, BUT, upon arriving we spend a tremendous amount of time here, attempting to "alter" those decisions due to the fact that many of our contractual plans have been "forgotten?"  Some examples:  How we will operate within our biological families, who our friends will be, who our Lovers/Wives/Husbands/Children will be... Which careers we will choose (Did you ever stop to think how bad someone was trying to sing when they had no voice???  Or a lousy Teacher, etc.  Hooking up with the wrong person or persons?  Finding it difficult to comprehend WHY? certain things do not work out for us?  And also, how some misguided souls just cannot let go of the mistakes they made and attempt to move forward and correcting the accidents? 
Repeating the same mistakes over and over and over!  Actually believing that "life is treating us poorly" when we might have chosen that life for a reason?  Unable to permit others to pursue their goals due to your judgement that it is the wrong path for them.  The possibilities of physical death being the "completion" of one's class or program chosen by that person.  The possibility that a baby can be born and die on the same day due to the fact that the soul's contract was completed at birth! 
Why do so many of us Thank God for the things we judge as good, and curse God for the things we judge as bad?  So many curse God for God's action that are not approved of by us, yet, never really stop to think, GOD'S THOUGHTS ARE NOT OUR THOUGHTS AND NEITHER ARE GOD'S WAYS?
Giving more thoughts to the idea of creating our own illusions of various situations in physical life.  What about the manifestations of diseases and illnesses that are professed by most Metaphysicians both today and during ancient times of human existence.  They are not "real", only illusions created by ourselves on the earth plane OR decided upon before arriving here to be a part of a situation that we will be subjected to in order to evolve.
Which once again brings me to this ongoing thought I have about so many of us when confronted with these situations, quickly turn and decide that God is an unloving, uncaring entity!
This limited thinking once again gives our EGOS the power to decide that which is good and that which is bad?  There are so many human beings on the planet that have via their EGOs decided that they have direct contact with a higher entity that only they can discern the idea or beliefs of this advanced and unseen entity.  They profess to be experts at making decisions of who shall be punished and who shall be rewarded or promoted to a very high and significant position of authority on the earth plane.  These individuals have already self assigned themselves as those who can destroy the physical beings existing on this planet for whatever reasons they deem unacceptable to their (EGO) ways of thinking.  They feel they are in the position to destroy that which they did not create.  Assuming themselves with so much power, most never once stop to think about an important fact that they lack during their power trips... THEY CAN DESTROY, BUT THEY CANNOT "CREATE" THAT WHICH THEY DESTROY?
If only these individuals could experience or believe in OBES and experience that which we cannot SEE with our physical eyes, but must step "outside" of the physical and into the astral body and view our TRUE REALITIES OF OUR SELVES!  The forgotten discovery of our SPIRITUAL SOULS WHICH ARE ETERNAL.  Unfortunately, we are only able to view a small part of reality when encased in our physical bodies, therefore we are restrained by limited thoughts.  Our minds are not expanding at all.  But fortunately, some of us are being allowed "glimpses" of more by the expansions of our minds when having the out of body experiences.  (These of course are my thoughts).  This is why I believe that most of us who are privileged to be able or allowed the gifts of astral travel willing to share the magnificent and forgotten things
with our fellow Brothers and Sisters residing on the earth plane........... More later

YIKES! OBES DISPLAYING THE POSSIBILITIES OF PHYSICAL LIFE BEING NOTHING MORE THAN AN "ILLUSION!!!" PART I

e' go  1.the self:  the individual as aware of himself.   judg-ment... the ability to come to opinions about things;  power of comparing and deciding;   New World Dictionary

I have discovered during my studies of Metaphysics and my OBEs that anyone wishing to achieve the practice of OBEs will have to ask one's EGO to take a break!  We should also start pushing our tendencies to be JUDGEMENTAL way down.  AND...the most important thing of all, if this has not already been addressed, CHANGE OUR BELIEF SYSTEMS!
There is no half and half ways of thinking at this point, it is either we believe or we do not believe.  Standing in the middle will only hold you back from your achievements.
It has been totally awesome the things that I have discovered during my adventures.  Which brings me to something that happened to me the other night after and during very deep meditations.  "Messages" came to me about the possibilities of my being on this earth plane and that EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY I was subject to during my physical lifetime to date was created by ILLUSIONS that I had personally created?
I had to think very deeply and seriously about the feelings that suddenly came over me about my physical life to date.  Have I been creating all that was happening to me during my physical life?  My parents, all of my relatives, my friends, my associates, my surroundings, my skills, etc. ???
I slid deeper into my thoughts and suddenly found myself wondering about all of the people I encountered in physical reality as being illusions that I had created for purposes of spiritual development. 
I began to think about Sacred Contracts and how they might have been decided by both myself and others before arriving here on the earth plane.  I begin to "feel" that ALL of the human beings that I had been involved with were those whom I had already known before coming to this planet.  We know very well the term used so often, WE ARE ALL CONNECTED.  But how?  From another time and place?  I am already convinced that none of us are in true reality, "physical beings" but rather, "spiritual beings of LIGHT!" 
I once read a description of a young woman's Near Death Experience that seemed to relate to my thoughts now.  She said that when the doctors had proclaimed her clinically dead, she felt very much ALIVE!  She said, she seemed glide and float into a much different and peaceful dimension.  She said, she had the feelings of peacefulness and content.  She also stated that she continued to feel very, very much "herself" still, in spite of getting the impression that she was "outside" of her body.
Thoughts came into her mind about her life on this planet and how disappointed she was with her life of having bad parents and so much unhappiness.
Suddenly, she could "hear" the sounds of giggling and chatter, at which time she felt her vision look upwards and saw a group of the most beautiful "balls of LIGHT" floating very slowly pass.  She heard a very familiar female voice speak in her direction, OH, LOOK!  IT'S SALLY!!!  She immediately felt herself call out to the group that she had a very strong feeling that she knew very well.  OOH, I HATE MY LIFE.  MY MOTHER AND FATHER ARE AWFUL AND NOTHING IS GOING WELL.  One of the balls of beautiful LIGHT replied, OH SALLY, DON'T BE SO SAD.  IT WILL BE FINE.  YOU JUST MADE SOMEWHAT OF A MISTAKE IN CHOICES THIS TIME AROUND, BUT IT WILL WORK OUT, DON'T WORRY........They seemed to radiate so much LOVE in her direction and continued to glide onwards........ The woman returned to her physical body with a jolt as several doctors were in the process of resuscitating her back to life.
CHOICES.  Interesting.  In the theater there is an expression, ALL THE WORLDS A STAGE AND WE ARE MERE ACTORS UPON IT.
Have we chosen scripts to perform in order to advance in our evolments? Are we all truly connected to one another?  This gives so much for thought......... During a past time and another place of existence did I say, "Okay, let's get ready.  You have chosen to play my Mother and I will be your Son this time around and what about Brothers and Sisters?  What about Friends?  What about?  What about?  What about? on and on........and this is what I will experience and learn.  And you will experience and learn this and that......AND THIS WILL ENABLE US TO ADVANCE SPIRITUALLY.
I remember the best selling author, Betty Eady saying during one of her talks,  "The Earth plane is the most difficult one to go to....."  She also said, that, " it would entail various levels of difficulties according to the times we chose to be born." 
I will continue with MORE LATER............

MOVING FORWARD AND THE OBE.........

"Optimism," said Candide, "is a mania for maintaining that all is well when things are going badly."

VOLTAIRE

As I had mentioned earlier in my blogs, in spite of our attempts to advance our spirituality to higher thoughts, we still remain physical while on this planet. Sometimes when events happen to us, we find ourselves feeling fragile as human beings.   I chose not to write for awhile, when having thoughts about Artie Dash departing from this plane of existence.

In the past, I have struggled through the spiritual pains of such events and then my soul seemed to mellow out once more and face up to my own so called, on-going physical/human journey.

The following events usually begin to occur for me...... I become mellow once again, face up to the material obstacles life throws my way, begin focused meditations and do what I have learned, STOP...... LOOK....BE QUIET.... LISTEN!

I have learned that "contact" with those that have crossed-over will ONLY be presented to you by PERMISSION!  Permissions from The Other Side of existence.  We can make "request," but no demands.

Also I have come to learn that we must also be "open" to so called, "visitations" when those that have departed wish to do so for various reasons unknown to us?

There are also "time frames" involved.  Days, Weeks, Months, Years......... I suppose depending on necessities, urgency's, etc.

During my OBEs I also believe that there are possibilities that have happened where certain individuals might have made visitations without acknowledgements.  As I have mentioned before, in many of my OBEs I have been unable, or not permitted to actually "see" even with my astral eyes, "who" was in my presence?

There are also those whom have crossed-over that are not available due to various reasons such as, trauma, disorientation, more pressing personal issues, etc.

I truly believe this theory I have developed due to those whom have appeared to me and those whom have not, also I have been very much aware of the various time frames involved.

By the way, we will be surprised by actually WHO visits us!  We all have our own expectations, BUT, I have been several times very surprised by those who have actually had a "meeting"  with me and I was tremendously surprised!  I believe these encounters are sometimes to present the opportunities to me in order to relay a verification to others that they are just FINE AND DANDY!  And sometimes, in addition, they have presented me some very important information in reference to MYSELF!

I believe I have also come to learn that there are those who, just as we all do, have very pressing issues to resolve immediately within the dimension that they are residing at the time, before attempting to address us.

But, I will repeat this, WE MUST BE INVITED IN ORDER TO VISIT THEM!   This give me reason to continue to believe that so called, TELEVISION PSYCHICS that profess to be demonstrating to audiences their abilities to "contact" their loved ones, etc. are practicing not only quackery, BUT, being cruel to individuals in mourning/pain due to the physical lost of their loved ones.  I believe that primarily our departed loved ones are in great shape and busily adapting and preparing for future endeavors.  For some living physical being to profess to be able to, "interrupt" these souls/spirits in other dimensions without being invited, to me seems ridiculous???  (Imagine, just like that, on the spot, this person is doing a television show or a personal reading and they have the ability or rights to just "demand" their presence?  Do you believe that our loved ones whom had crossed-over to another realm of existence spends all of their time just "sitting there" waiting for our phone calls??? AAHahahahah!)  I discovered that and I spoke of that earlier in my blog.  I "saw" that there are various dimensions of existence.  Different levels I suppose.  I have learned that during my OBEs that there are dimensions that maybe, just maybe, are "restricted areas."  Why?  Due to the possible fact that according to our development spiritually/metaphysically we might not be able to sustain the electromagnetic environments.  *(Please permit me here to take a moment to just repeat to you once again something I said earlier in my blog:  IN MY OPINION, NONE OF THESE EVENTS ARE ANYTHING LIKE WHAT HAS BEEN SHOWN IN THE MOVIES OR ON TELEVISION.  ALL OF THE EVENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED DURING MY OBES ARE "VERY, VERY NATURAL AND REALISTIC.  THEY HAVE SEEMED EVEN "MORE REAL" TO ME THAN PHYSICAL REALITY"!  If I were to point out anything that was "unusual to me", it would be the SILENCE? It's a different kind of silence.  It seems somewhat "alive" and "relaxing/comforting".  And all conversations are done telepathically, yet I would still be able to "hear" their voices?)

As we know, we are within an electromagnetic field of existence.  (Our real selves are LIGHT!)  Just as radio stations have bands of contact, so do the realms of existence for us.  They range in LOW to HIGH.

I might have mentioned in a past blog that some of us are very, very in and out or outside of our magnetic fields of existence.  I have often laughed at the jokes by my close friends about the amount of telephones and watches that have been broken or stopped operating during my lifetime!  Especially the frustrations through the years of having major Telephone Technicians and Electricians just about freaking out in frustrations over the fact that they were devastated at the unusual problems happening when in my presence!

Getting back to my discussion about visitations, etc. with various individuals whom have supposedly crossed-over.

An interesting event occurred when "seeing" or having a "visitation" with my Father.  I had not "seen" him since he departed over 30 years ago?  BUT.......I did have several visits, eventually.  Why so long?  As I mentioned above....... Now, my Mother has crossed-over very RECENTLY and something interesting has occurred when "seeing" her..... SHE DID NOT REALLY ACKNOWLEDGE MY PRESENCE? She was in deep conversation with my Grandmother (Her Mother.....During their physical existence, they had MAJOR issues between themselves).  Maybe, just maybe, this is more pressing at this time to resolve?

I have already spoken of my aunt, Ruby, whom I was very close to earlier in my blogs.  There I gave my belief of possible reasons for her situation presently.

In conclusion, I will emphasize that even without the "visionary" abilities on our parts, there are many "individuals" as well as "groups" of spiritual entities that have crossed-over and those that have chosen not to visit this dimension, that are constantly in our presence for various reasons of LOVE and PROTECTION. 

Those who wish to "open" or "develop" their inborn "spiritual gifts" through the development of astral projection or other means, can all do so.  YOU will be given the opportunity to SEE them and converse with them ........ It is my belief, that even when we wish not to do so.............THEY ARE LOVING US AND PROTECTING US!

TODAY THE SADNESS TRAVELS WITHIN MY SOUL

"The Shift is necessary to cleanse the Earth of the evil that man has placed there.  Also to rid the Earth of so many evil ones who have infiltrated the population.  It will be swept nearly clean and raise the vibrations not only of the Earth but of its remaining inhabitants.  As the Shift occurs the vibrations will be speeded up to a much higher frequency.  The axis will remain steadfast, but the land and water masses will slip, not sideways, but in a rotating movement that will make the sun appear to stand still to those on Earth as the Shifting occurs."  An excerpt from Ruth Montgomery's last and farewell book, THE WORLD TO COME.


During one of my blogs, I mentioned RUTH MONTGOMERY.  Her career consisted of that as a top White House correspondent, covering the administrations of Roosevelt through Johnson.  She became the bestselling author of fifteen books on paranormal and psychic topics.
I read all of her books and found her to be an amazing woman, having just about "stumbled" into a subject by pure accident, due to an assignment of coverage presented to her by her employer in Washington, D.C.
Today, in spite of my inner feelings of sadness brought on by personal thoughts within myself, I did have the non-physical message come to me to go to my blog and leave this information
Therefore, I do encourage all those who follow my thoughts on my blogs to possibly pick up a copy of THE WORLD TO COME and give it a read and then formulate your own thoughts from within.........            More later..........

ARTIE DASH: "HEY GUYS. I'M OUTTA HERE!"

Forget all the worldly knowledge that thou hast acquired and become as a child...then will thou get the divine wisdom.    Ramakrishna

I was just informed yesterday, that the morning before, a really terrific person/soul "crossed over to the other side".  For sometime I had carried this impending thought in my head the time was approaching that Artie would cross over.

Even when one is given or warned of these things to come, it never seems to sit right with you.  I knew him for several years, but came to know him even better in more recent years, due to the fact he was one of the guys as part of "Our Group" carrying the burden of stress involving our on-going lawsuit which I presented in more detail earlier on in one of my blogs.

As I had mentioned also earlier, having the so called, gifts or abilities, I have as a part of me, it has always been a rule for me to try and keep it primarily to myself.  As anyone would know, being labeled as a "nut case" is not a good idea.

In spite of this, it does become a part of one's self/personality, and from time to time without thought, we might drop "thoughts" during conversations that people look at you rather strangely and I immediately change the subject!

Having had so many long sit-down conversations with Artie and Jay, his business partner of 40 years, an incident occurred one day while Artie and I were sitting at a lunch table next to one of his businesses at the mall, when suddenly I said something spontaneous without caution "metaphysical".  BUT, without missing a beat, I quickly changed the subject......TO MY SURPRISE, Artie brought the conversation to an awkward halt when he said, WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?  I repeated my last sentence, but he told me to back-track.  NOT THAT, BEFORE THAT!  Embarrassed, I stumbled through the sentence in question.  Artie took the conversation back to that sentence involving metaphysics and suddenly became almost as an attorney during his interrogations of me on the subject.  Wow!  He surprised me so much!  HE WANTED TO KNOW DETAILS!!!  It was my discovery of the fact that Artie's mind was functioning like a "computer" and had stored a tremendous amount of data on insightful thoughts!  Artie had a terrific sense of humor and sometimes there were those that laughed at him rather than with him due to the fact that they did not really "see" beyond the surface of his thoughts or way of thinking........ (I came to realize that they were far more reaching than most might be aware of...)

Artie and Jay were a team!  A team that has been physically separated, but not spiritually!  Myself being sometimes, high-strung, nervous or suddenly jumping into the drama arena when things got rough, would get all bent out of shape and speak to Artie and Jay and within seconds, Jay would put it all into a more level headed perspective for me and Artie would promptly say, NOW DO YOU WANT SOMETHING TO EAT?  COME ON LET'S SIT DOWN AND YOU WILL EAT!  I believe sometimes I would come off as a "semi-basket case" during some incidents involving our situation with those legal litigations.  And in the mist of it all, Jay and Artie were confident that they had screwed my head back on securely and Artie would look at me and say, OK.  NOW MARSHALL, LET'S SIT DOWN AND HAVE SOME ICE CREAM!

Now I am sad that he took off, leaving the planet with unfinished business behind him, BUT, the thoughts keep coming to me, "They are miniscule compared to the journey he is on now.....I bet this whole situation here on this planet/this dimension is being observed by him now with glee.  I am intuiting that Artie will stand at his own funeral and make outrageous jokes about the whole scene!  He also now knows the "reasons" for our journey with our legal situations and the "simplicities" of it all that neither he nor any of us could/can know now.  Artie now knows the "truth" of the entire situation due to the fact that his Higher Self is viewing it all from the perspective that is difficult to achieve within our physical self.  The Universal Mind has now revealed to him the clarity of it all and he has now dropped off all of the baggage we acquire while here on the planet.  He is now FREE and SAFE! 

Those of us who remain here for now, will carry for a time the spiritual pain of his sudden departure, BUT he will always be a part of us, because he will not and cannot be forgotten..........  We will "see" him again!                                More later...........

THE ASTRAL PLANES OR VARIOUS DIMENSIONS OF EXISTENCE?

What has been your past, that will be your future.    Akaranga Sutra.  Book I

As I have stated in my past blogs, I believe there are different levels of existence one can arrive at during OBEs.  Also, I believe that maybe, just maybe we are able to visit various dimensions on earth during time periods, past, present and future.  I also suspect that maybe, just maybe, "everything" exist at the same time!  Both our lives and our surroundings.
When living in Brooklyn, I am convinced, that during several of my OBEs I have visited the places I resided in that particular area both during my past and present.  I believe that I mentioned earlier that I was able to confirm these things by research, viewing legitimate photographs found at The New York Public Library in Manhattan in the research facilities provided to the public.
I am not an expert by any means of physics, but I question to myself the idea of creating any or all illusions of our physical realities and the idea that once created, they remain intact/solid, as if placed in "eternal archives" and can be literally pulled up for what I would consider "re-visiting" when requested by our Higher Self."
Yes, computers are definitely an extension of humans working with another part of the soul/spirit. 
Isaac Newton was unable to "decode" various books, in particular The Holy Bible, in all probability due to the fact that he had not yet "tapped" into a part of his Higher Self?  When humans created and presented the computer, decoding these books became much more possible!  Again I present to you another similarity of how you can have OBEs.
My thoughts are, we have OBEs, NDEs, etc. when we tap into a part of the brain and we connect with The Soul/The Spirit.  We begin to us a part of our True/Real Self.  Our Higher Self!
Being attached to "the material/physical" gives us limitations by setting up barriers, preventing us from recognizing that in reality we are non-physical entities.  Due to the fact that we humans are primarily attached so tightly to our physical, we have lost touch with our TRUE POWERS.  These are far more awesome than those we have created by illusionary methods.  Such as, Money, Sexual Distortions, Weapons of Destruction, just to name a few.
We have, just as the old saying goes, "Arrived here on earth asleep and forgot to wake up!"  We continue to create very lowly evolved illusions of our own makings, using our Lower Self!  My mentioning this particular situation would be better explained at another time when or if I discuss the topic of DUALISM.           More later............

Love and Light!
