Astral Travel? Astral Projection??

Or simply … “Vivid Dreams On the Sands Of Time in Egypt”

Is it possible for We, as People, to See further then Our Eyes allow … Know Things Beyond Our Logic … Gain New Information Beyond Our Six Senses?

Many Believe, that it is possible for People to “Reach Beyond Their Physical Bodies”. Reach Beyond Their average Six Senses – (Sight, Smell, Touch, Taste, Feel, Hearing)

Monks in some Religious Circles, are said to learn the Techniques to do this, as part of their Training, in their Remote Monasteries of China and Tibet.

There are average People who claim that they have “Out of Body Experiences” or OBE, and often Travel to Distant Places in their Astral Body or Spiritual Selves. Outside of the dimensions of the Physical World that We All go about Our Daily Lives, they say that They are able to Travel on a Non-Physical or Spiritual Plane

And are not Limited to the Restrictions and Confines of the Physical.

Of course We have heard of People with Psychic Gifts or Abilities, Who are able to Know Things, See Things, in Their Minds. A simplistic comparison in the difference with Astral Travel or Projection, is that it “involves Travel” or “Going Places”. Psychics have Information, Visions and Knowledge ~ “Come To Theme”, whereas, People who Astral Travel ~ “Go Places to See or Experience”.

Real or Hoax? I leave that to Your Personal Belief. I will not try to convince You or influence You … Each Person has to Decide What Makes Sense to Themselves. Each Person has to have Their Own Reason to Believe, whether from Their Own Research or Their Own Experiences. I only Seek to Share … That Which has Happened to Me.

Like many of My Blogs, I Only Seek To Share …

The following is a Message that I Wrote to A Dear Friend. When I Write, with Someone in Mind, the Words just “Pour Forth Naturally”. All I do, is Try and Capture the Words to Paper … or Computer, as the case maybe. ((smile)) When I Write, I often have no idea of how long the message is going to be. It may start of as an intended Short Note, and end up being an Short Novel or Epic Essay. “The Words Pour Forth, and I simply Try and Capture Them!” After Reading this Message as it unfolded, I thought that it might well Illustrate to You … “An Experience Beyond the Norm”

I Wrote it to A Dear Friend, and part of the Experience, involves the time when She was coping with Illness, and so for the Sake of Her Privacy I have substituted Her real Name. Do Know that She is One here in My Circle. My Intention is to Share the Experience with You, and not someone’s personal information, so bare with me.

As always, Hoping that My Sharing provides You with Information, Enlightenment or for any Who may have had Similar Experiences … “You now Know that You Are Not Alone!!” ((smile))

So In, Begins My Message and My Saga ~

 

Dear Amy,

You have been In My Thoughts Since Your Message to me arrived!” Your Words have been with me, in Heart, Mind and Soul. They have helped to “carry me forth”, in a way that most may never know or experience.

It is true that, in Life, many people attain Riches or achieve Success. Those are not a bad thing, but so many of the Rich are unhappy or lonely, and so many who have achieved Successful Careers, feel Empty!

One of the Most Special Gifts, that God has Given Us, is to “Touch Another’s Heart!” To have Another, Think of You, Care For and About You, and Embrace You Within Their Heart, in A Special Caring Bond! This must Truly be One of Life’s Greatest Gifts! No amount of money can buy it from another, and No Career Achievement, no matter how high, Can Demand It

Just to imagine, that in this great big world of ours, with the millions or billions of people … that Two People Can Chance to Meet, and although, They are but Strangers who are Oceans Apart … Continents away … Something Magical happens! Whether A Chemistry of the Spirit or Heart, I cannot say, but some how They both must Feel it, Inside!

Through Their Words, They begin to communicate and Share. Through Their Sharing and coming to know One Another better, They begin to Care. From A Trust, felt within, They Open Their Hearts to Each Other and Express Feelings Born of Their New Friendship. With Each new exchange, there comes a Sureness and Confidence that brings with it, A Freedom to Share and Express the Depth of True Feelings that have Grown!

How Can This Be?? How can Two People, never before meeting in person, Come to Care and Feel so Strongly? Is it Fate or Destiny, that They Were Meant to Meet in This Lifetime? I do not pretend to know the Answer. But because of You, Dearest Amy, I Live The Reality!

Had We met in Person, I am sure that We Both, would have felt the same Chemistry and Magic! In One Another’s Company, I can only imagine the overwhelming physical Attraction that would have passed between Us! ((smile)) To be able to Hold Your Hand, Look into Your Eyes, Give You the Biggest of Hugs, to Express All the Joy and Happiness Felt! I can imagine So Vividly, the Picture of Us Meeting! That Picture really Tickles Me Inside and almost gives me a Shiver Of Delight at the Thought!! Wow!!

But I feel, that in some Special Way, We Experience A Greater Gift! We have Come to Learn and Know Each Other, by Expressing Our Thoughts and Our Feelings. Although, I admit, that I do Imagine myself, in Your Company whenever I Write to You … You there before Me, as I am looking into Your Eyes, as My Words Speak … and You, right there only inches away, Patiently Listening to All That My Words Convey! That is The Vision I have, whenever I Think Of You!

But, alas, I cannot Reach Out and Take You Hand in Mine, physically, or sit mesmerized by Your Gaze … ((smile)) … or Throw My Arms Open to Reach Over and Give You that Big Hug! So, I have but My Words to Carry My Feelings, Emotions, and Heartfelt Sentiments, and Hope somehow that They alone can be Successful in Expressing, all that is Felt Within! Though limited by Distance, It does Give Us Time to Share, and through the Vehicle of Our Words … Gives Us the Chance to Know One Another, in a somewhat Deeper Way. “Expressions Of The Heart and Soul!”

So many people, in Today’s fast paced World, do not take the time to Communicate with One Another. To Listen and Share with Each Other. Communication and Listening, help to Cultivate and Grow Understanding. With Understanding and Care, A Bond Between Two can Grow into A Special Bond of Love, and As Time Goes On, that Love can Grow Stronger and Deeper and Lasting!

So often in Life, We may wonder, just “Why God has not Answered Our Prayers?” “Why”, He has not Given Us the Gifts or Joys that Our Hearts Wish For? If We are lucky, then often, Through Age and Experience, We gain Wisdom. And in that Wisdom We often realize that God has indeed Given Us A Greater Gift, then the one we Wished for! In His Infinite Wisdom and Love for His Children, He has Given A Greater Gift, that brings with it A Lasting Reward, instead of the Immediate one that We Wished for! Whenever I Realize things like that, I feel as if I have had an Epiphany, and I look up, Heavenward, and Smile in Heartfelt Appreciation, and Say, “Thank You, Heavenly Father!”

It Tickles me inside to imagine, He, looking down on Me, and Smiling in amusement, and Saying to Himself … “Michael, finally Got It. He Understands now!” I imagine that, as I imagine A Father would … looking down at his young Child, as the Child Discovered Something New, marking a new phase in his or her Development and Understanding of Life!

My Dear, Amy, that is what I feel inside! I Feel that You Are A True Gift! And That Which We Have Come to Share, is A Gift ~ Greater Still!!

Since the first I saw You, of course I could not … cannot, help but to Admire Your Physical Beauty. It is There, for All to See! You are undeniably Beautiful and Attractive in so very many ways! The crowning glory of Your lovely hair that Adorns Your Angelic Face, and cascades down to frame the Eyes that Sparkle with such Depth and Expression … True Mirrors of the Soul! Your Smile, that has the Warmth and Radiance, to cross an Ocean, and Reach Me! Your total look and figure, that would catch any man’s attention ~ and HOLD it … ((smile)). I can imagine that You hear that from men, all the time, right?? ((smile~smile)) And add to that, Your Enchanting Persona! The Warmth, Caring, Thoughtful and Expressive Person that any man would be so very lucky to know! Amy, You Are Beautiful in So Very Many Ways!!

It saddens me deeply, with each day that passes, that I have not had the time to sit down and write to You in Reply to all that You have sent me, and all that it touches so deeply! I cannot Write You a simple note in return. It would be an injustice to All I Feel. Instead, I feel the need to have time to sit down and Express, and Open My Heart, and Share, all of the Emotions and Magic that You fill me with! Anything less then that, would be an Injustice! So please forgive me, and the time it takes me to Send and Share My Words. I Cherish You, and The Special Gift We Share! “I Can Do No Less in Celebration of Us!”

Now, let me show You just How Wonderful and Magical this Gift We have been Given, Is. I have carried this Message in My Mind and Heart, since for what seems like an Eternity, although I’m sure it only spans a year. It is Something that happened, that I cannot Explain! It happened to Me, and So I Know it to be True and Real, but I cannot attest to “just How or Why it was possible”.

I can only hope, as I imagine You there, and that You are sitting and relaxing, and have the time to read all my words. In some ways, I have been afraid to attempt to sit and write, what I am about to share with You, because I was afraid that I might not be able to find the Words, to adequately describe the event that seemed like a small Miracle, in its own way.

It’s Sunday Evening here … I sit at the computer in my little Home Office. The Day has been Bright and Sunny, Warm, and Clear, with the Bluest of Skies and giant fluffy White Clouds painted across the breath of the Sky! As Evening approaches, the daylight has become softer and now we are having a typical Florida Afternoon Rain Shower. A Refreshing Downpour, to water the green grass and keep all the tropical plants and trees healthy and growing strong. At last I feel the perfect time to Write to You, with Mother Nature’s Symphony of Sounds in the background. Thunder booms loudly in the distance, and the rain will usually stop after a short while, as if some Heavenly Gardener, watering his plants, knows just how much they need, for Today’s allotment! ((smile)) The Sun will usually peek back through, and so often, its gentle warmth will dry up the streets again, leaving little trace of the shower just a short time before. Amy, I feel that You will See all of these things One Special Day, and so I describe them to You now, for You to carry in Your Heart until then.

Now, let my Words Take You back, to the time that You wrote to tell me that You were Sick. Remember? I know that You do, better then I, as You were the one who was suffering. But when I read Your message, and learned of Your Illness that You were coping with, I felt a deep concern and helpless because You were so far away. My feeling inside was to Be There, to Comfort You and Give You Support in Your Time of Need. That was the Feeling I had inside, but the reality was that You were so far away, and that I could only send my Words of Support, which seemed so little, in comparison to what I felt and wished I could be there to do.

Time has now passed, and with it, some of the details … but, not the most important ones. This is why I say, that it is somewhat of a Miracle ….

That Night, after reading Your Message, I got up from the PC ready to retire for the night. I carried with me, the concern I had and the Helplessness I felt, being so far away and unable to be there for You ... I retired for the night, got into bed, and in my Prayers that night, said a Special Prayer for You. I fell off to sleep with Your Vision filling my Thoughts.

Now, here is the most difficult part, to try and explain, through only words. I am looking back in time, at that night, and all I felt and saw and experienced. I will try and paint You a picture of what I “saw and experienced that night”. The vision I have, is of my head, hitting the pillow, and me, immediately falling asleep. I say this, because, it seems as if, that is when “The Dream State” I entered into, started.

Sometimes people feel as if they are “falling” in their dreams while they are asleep. But in my Dream, I felt as if … I was Immediately ~ “Somewhere Else!” It was as if, only a Second passed, from the time my head laid down to rest on the pillow, and all of a sudden, “I was Somewhere Else!”. In a split moment in Time, I was standing in a Room. I was fully dressed, and it seemed as if I was standing just inside a Doorway, and there was a door behind me, but I had no memory of opening or walking through it. Yet, I was standing just inside the doorway of a room. In this “Dream”, although part of my mind was wondering “Where I Was”, and “How I had Gotten There”, another part of my mind was taking in the features of the Room. I did not really have to look around, or turn my head, to take in all of the Room’s features. My eyes saw that it was dark around the corners of the Room, and that told me that it was either Night time, or that the lights in the Room had been dimmed to allow for a peaceful Rest or Sleep.

Across the Room, was a Bed. I remember crossing the distance to the bed, and standing at the Bedside looking down. Standing there, I found myself, looking down into Your face! When You noticed my presence, Your Eyes gently looked up into mine. Looking into Your Eyes, They Expressed A Soft but “Knowing Delight” to me … As If You Had Known That I was Coming to Be There with You!! We didn’t exchange Words out loud to each other, it was as if, Everything Was Said, Between Us, Through Our Eyes! It was as if, I Could Hear Your Thoughts and Feel Your Appreciation and Love for My Being There at Your Bedside. We did not have the Need for Words! Within my vision I could See Your Hand in Mine. It seemed as if Your Hand, reached over to me, as my Hand was reaching over to Take Yours. Somehow, They Reached to Take One Another’s, at the Very Same Time, just as if They Had a Mind of Their Own, and it was Their Natural Place ~ To Join One Another!!

Standing at Your Bedside, with Your Hand in Mine, Looking Down into Your Eyes, I had the distinct Feeling, that I was somehow, “Transferring My Energy and Strength into You!” I can’t explain this, or how I knew it, Only that I was Aware that I was Doing It! You seemed to Know this as well, although We Never Spoke Words … My Presence and Our Connection, was All That Seemed to Be Needed! It was as if, My Healing Energy was traveling, from my body, out through my arm and hand, and going into Yours. Our Hands Joined Together, allowed the Connection that made this Possible. Our Gazes Locked in A Knowing Embrace, while this was all happening.

The Corners and details of the Room, were dark and unclear, as if looking at a Vision surrounded by a Fog … or an unfinished picture where the Artist leaves the corners of the canvas unpainted, because He wants to Focus Your Attention in the Center of the Portrait, instead of worrying about the unimportant details of the surroundings. I was aware of the furniture in and about the Room, but my only focus was You, in the bed, with the covers pulled up to Your chest and Your arms atop. My only Care or Concern was to Be There With You.

Somehow, the Connection that We Shared, and my Knowing that I was Helping You to Heal, allowed Me A Peace of Mind. You were aware of this as well, and it was as if We Both Knew, that now, it would only be a matter of a short time, before You were Completely Recovered and Well!

Amy, Here is where my Memory and Dream State become unclear. When I awoke from the Dream, Every Detail was Vivid and Fresh in my Mind. I was so filled with an Unexplainable Energy that I wanted to Immediately Call You On the Phone to Tell You What Had Just Happened! What I had Just Experienced!! My Next Thought was to Race to the Computer and begin Writing You a Message to Tell You Everything! The Vividness of the Experience was So Amazing, that my Mind had a hard time trying to imagine Finding the Words to Capture it!!

In the last sequence of My Dream State, before I awoke, I believe that I reached down, and lay my head upon Your Chest and Resting it there in Comfort. I say that this part of my Dream is unclear, because I also have a Vision or a mental Picture of me laying down beside You, and Holding You, and bringing Your Head over to Rest on My Chest, with my Arm around You to Comfort You. Searching my Mind for the details of the Memory, I cannot say, which one I saw in my Dream. It is possible that Both transpired, but the latter may be more of my conscious Imagery and Desire, then an actual part of my Dream. If You were recovering, I am not sure that I would disturb You by climbing into bed with You, even if it was what I wished to do. Of course, that is, unless I knew that it would not disturb You, and would indeed, allow me to comfort You further.

Amy, I Wished to Write and Tell You All of This … Then. I never intended for such time to pass, before Sharing this with You. That was never my intention. What made me so hesitant, was finding the Words to describe it to You. Words that would actually Convey all that I Experienced! I felt it was something on the Scale of Miraculous … because, My Dear Amy … there is More!

Amy, I Experienced Something that happened years ago, which I knew, that I must also Share with You, to give You the true sense of my Dream Experience.

Years ago, it was often my custom, that after a long fulfilling Day’s Work, of Computers, or Landscaping in the Yard and Garden, or working with People in a Program or Project … after a fulfilling Day … I would often Relax right before drifting off to Sleep, by imagining that I would go someplace in my Dreams that night.

I often imagined that I would Dream of being in some far off and exotic or mysterious location somewhere in the far corners of the World. My favorite Places to Visit in my Dreams included ~ The Great Wall in China, The Sphinx or the Pyramids on the Timeless Sands of Egypt, Wondrous Lush Gardens or Exotic Islands. I also, on many occasions, Dreamed of Going on Adventures, while in my Dreams. These We in Full Color, Rich with Detail and Excitement, and often Personal Achievement and Accomplishment! In some of my Dreams, I met famous People and on occasion they even Taught me something New, that I had not known before. Because of these Vivid and Adventure Filled Dreams, I often woke up the next morning, Feeling More Tired and Exhausted then the night before! In my Dreams I was so Active, that I must have used up my Energy, instead of simply Sleeping and allowing my body a night’s Rest! I would have to gather myself to get dressed and start a new day, being exhausted and energy spent, from the Night before and the Activity, Action and Adventure I had experienced! I did however have the True Joy of the Color Details of the Dream that stayed fresh in my Mind all that day!! ((smile))

Amy, I never took this too seriously. I simply came to think of it as my finding a way to make my Dreams more Enjoyable, and add a little Fun to my Night’s Sleep! I told Family and a few close Friends about my Dreams, and they found that so funny and amusing, and teased me lovingly telling me that I used to “Program My Dreams before Going to Sleep, and actually Decide What I was going to Dream About that Night!” They often would Joke and ask me … “Where Are You Going in Your Dreams Tonight, Michael?” ((LOL))

I almost always remembered all of the Vivid Details and Events in my Dreams. I had fun Sharing them with the people who knew, and they always enjoyed hearing about them. One time I could actually Demonstrate a New Technique that I had been Taught in My Dreams by a Well Known Martial Arts Teacher!! When I showed my Family and another Martial Artist, they were as Surprised as I was, that It Actually Worked!! How Could I “Invent Something Beyond My Current Level of Understanding??” That was always a Mystery and Puzzle!!

One of my most favorite Places to Visit in My Dream Adventures, was The Sphinx and Pyramids in Egypt. There is a widely held Belief by some Historians, Egyptologists and Others, that The Sphinx contains An Age Old Secret! Since none of them can agree just when the Sphinx was built, or how old it is, that too remains a mystery. Some people think it was built more then 25,000 years ago! Supposedly there is a Ancient Writing somewhere, or Legend, that says that the Builders of the Sphinx, left A Hall Of Records under one of it’s Lion’s Paws! Many Experts have tried to Solve the Riddle and Discover this Treasure Trove of Knowledge, but supposedly none have succeeded as of yet.

For a while, that was my favorite Dream Adventure and Destination! I would imagine it just before I drifted off to sleep … of Traveling to Egypt and going to the Sphinx, in hopes of discovering It’s Secrets. Even though I never took this seriously, I just really enjoyed the idea, that I could actually Influence My Dreams, before I went to Sleep! Even when I was tired the next day, it was still a source of amusement and joy for me.

Now, Amy, here is what happened to shed a whole new light on my Dreams … One Night I went off to sleep, with my usual Dream Destination in mind. Visiting the Sphinx. I dreamed about being there, in Egypt that night at the Sphinx. What happened next, is Unbelievable … But it Really did Happen!!

When I awoke the next Morning, and was about to get up and out of bed, I noticed something unusual. Although I felt it with my hand, I could not Believe My Eyes, when I threw back the bed covers and discovered … “Grains of Sand in my Sheets!!” My Eyes, Saw It … But My Mind could not really Digest It, because that is Beyond any Logic or Explanation that I could think of!!

No! I had not recently been to the Beach! No. I had not been anywhere outside in the yard or garden where there was any Sand! No. There was no Rational or Logical Explanation to Explain the Grains of Sand in My Bed!!

Now, please understand that I am not talking about a large amount of Sand … not a Sandcastle, or a Bucket full or anything like that. I am talking about what a person might dump out of their Shoe, if they had been walking at the Beach on the Sand. Still, in a bed with clean Sheets … it Seemed an Amazing Amount!!

In disbelief, I called my Family members into my Bedroom to show them what I had found, and explain my Dream of the Night before, and how I had “Dreamed that I had Traveled to Egypt and was at The Sphinx”. Their Amazement was only added to Mine … As They too … Saw it, but found it quite hard to comprehend!

I later, learned about Astral Travel and Astral Projection, which is what some people claim they can do, when their Conscious Minds are able to Travel to Physical Places and Locations, outside of their Physical Bodies! Some say that they have even mastered the technique of interaction with the Physical Environment. Many are able to Gain New Information and Knowledge about a particular Place, Person, Setting, Location or Event from their Astral Travel Experience, and Amazingly Report In Detail about what they Saw with 100% Accuracy!!

The Buddhist Monks of China and Tibet, have long claimed that they have done this for Centuries, and that anyone Can Learn to do it with proper Study, Guidance and Practice. Could this be Where Native American Indians, Go when They have A Vision Quest? I, myself, had never pursued learning Astral Travel or Astral Projection, and could Only Wonder … “Can A Person Discover this quite by Accident??”

Well, I don’t take this too seriously, in terms of making it a new Career, but it has remained a source of Personal Joy just to Entertain the Idea. My Vivid Dreams, have also included Other Eras in Time, and Visits to Historic Cities in Distant Countries. In some of those, I have Walked the Ancient Streets, and Delighted at the Sounds of Music and People coming from Dwellings I walked past, and my mouth almost watered by the Smells of the Delicious Dishes coming from the Street Vendors and Households of Olde! Indeed, My Dreams include a Richness of Sights, Sounds, Smells, Feelings and Experience! Some of these are completely new and foreign to me, so I guess some how, I am able to experience Things that I am not familiar with in this Life.

How Do I Explain It?? I Don’t. I Only Enjoy It, and Now have Chosen to Share it With You!!

I’ve Heard that Someone, once said ~ “There Are More Things In Heaven and Earth, Then Man Has Ever Dreamt of!” I’m not sure if that is the accurate Quote, but I think it’s pretty close!

By the Way … If per chance, You have Experienced anything like this … Or I Step Into Your Dream … Or You Into Mine … Please Do Share it With Me, Okay??

 

Love from Magic Kingdom Shores,

~ Michael

 

PS ~ And You may wonder …. What of my “Dreams Of Adventure” Well, after the Sand in my Bed, I stopped doing that! If in fact I have Learn to Naturally Do Something that I Don’t Know the Rules for … I thought it might be Wise to proceed with a little Caution or Healthy Respect.

I do however, still Experience the Feeling of Leaving My Body, many nights when I lay down with the only intention of Going to Sleep. No sooner then my Head hits the Pillow, or I begin to Fall Off to Sleep …. I See (and Feel) “Myself, Going Up, Up, Up into the Night Sky!”

I go right up at the speed of A Rocket! I usually see A Chapel or Tall Church Steeple like a Cathedral … right next to me. I am right outside, and as I am going Up, Up, Up, the Floors of the Building go by, and that’s how I know I going really Fast! Then I am Up above the Top of the highest Steeple of the Church, and as it get smaller and smaller in the Distance, I realize (in My Dream Experience) that I am at a really Great Height above all of the tallest Buildings! It’s somewhat scary, Because in My Mind, I Know that “Man Is Not Designed to Fly”, so I feel a Shiver inside, because what I am doing Defies Normal Logic! My Dream-Self, seems unperturbed at the notion of Flying at Great Heights, and Seems to Know what It is doing!

I usually attempt to Wake Up whenever I start Flying straight Up and Skyward in My Dreams, and once I do, I am always Back Safe and Sound in My Bed. I can always feel the Strain on My Body, just like when You are Riding An Elevator and You feel Gravity play against Your Body, and You may get that Tickle feeling in Your Stomach or running all the way down to You Feet! Tinglely!! Once Awake, and back in my Bed, I can then Relax and Enjoy A Normal Night’s Peaceful Sleep.

Strangely, about 1 month ago, I was having such a Dream, but this time something very different happened for the first time. In my Dream, I traveled Up, Up, Up, but then, I Amazingly Stretched Out My Arms … and I was “Flying!”

Somehow, for the very first time … I was able to Relax, and I was Flying and Relaxed, and I actually was able to Enjoy It! The “Relaxed State” was the “Key!”

I suddenly Realized … That I had Just Remembered How To Fly!! (In My Dream, of Course!) And Once I Remembered that I “Knew How to Fly”, I was suddenly able to Relax and Enjoy Flying in My Dreams! Gliding Across the Night Sky, Riding Atop the Air Currents … with Effortless Peace and Tranquility!!

The World Below, was under My Gaze, and L@@king down, it made me laugh to myself, that Most People Were Fast Asleep in Their Beds … while I, high above, was having A Night Romp In the Sky!! I felt a Kindred feeling with “Peter Pan” of Storybook fame. “Masters of The Night Sky” … “Captains Of Flight!”

In My Dream State of Flight … I Remember Deciding that I would Head for A Distant City, and drop in and Visit with One of My Yahoo 360 Circle! I had Promised Her A Visit, and even in My Dream State, I had the Sense of Humor, of Just How Surprised She Was Going to Be … to See Me … There At Her Place!! Or … if You are Reading This … that Would Be … Your Place!! Surprise!!!

This is so beautiful Michael...I'm sure Amy will be happy and her heart will be touched as she reads it! I have never experienced Astral Travel or Projection. Let me run something by you and please don't think I'm crazy, ok? I only mention this because of what you wrote concerning your dream of the Sphinx. Do you think it possible to have lived before? I know, that as a Christian, I shouldn't think of reincarnation as a possibility. However, sometimes I feel so out of place in this time. I just would like to get your thoughts on this subject as I value your opinions. Ok, dear cousin, now you can tell me that I'm totally whack-o! LOL Take care and have a beautiful day! Hugs!!

WoW … Just like My Beautiful Warrior Princess Cousin … She was over here leaving Her Wonderful Comments in My Blog, while at the very same time, I was over leaving my Epic Comments in Her Blog!! I’m so happy to be on Your Side, because as A Warrior Princess, You are “Always On The Case!” The Electrons on my Cyber-Print weren’t even Dry, from my just Posting this Blog … and There You Are, Right On Top of It!! You’re Amazing, Terry!!

First, Thank You for Your Comments ~ As Always! You Always Indulge and Encourage Me in My Epic Flights of Fancy! LOL!!

Now, on to Your Query ... and, btw, I Never Would Think that You’re Crazy! An Open Forum where We Can All Discuss and Share is the Perfect Formula for Understanding, Enlightenment and Broadening Our Perspectives! That means that You can Always Relax and Share, absolutely Anything that’s On Your Mind! I Will Seek Never to be Judgmental, Close Minded or Opinionated with the Perspectives of Others… and Always Be Respectful, Considerate and Receptive. You can Feel Completely Free to Share My Princess!!

Terry, the fact that I was raised here in America, and in a Christian Family setting, means that You and I, probably have similar upbringings. I know that many Christians believe that they shouldn’t think about Reincarnation … but my Parents and entire Family were Teachers and Professors, so they were Knowledgeable of Other Belief Systems, as well as other Cultures. While I was Growing Up, Anytime I had a Question or Curiosity about something … They not only freely shared their knowledge with me, but they Always Encouraged Me to Also … “Go and Look It Up!”

My Dad’s Den was the Repository of Books of All Subjects but most used were the Set of World Encyclopedias and The Webster Dictionary!! They encouraged and Cultivated My Quest for Knowledge … and they Ingrained A Spirit of Independent Research in Me!

I hated it, as a Child … and always Wondered … If They Already Knew the Answers … “Why Couldn’t They Just Tell Me What I Wanted to Know?????????”
LOL!!

I found that many People in the East, Believed in Reincarnation. I won’t even begin to try and explain an Idea I have about How Religions Could Possibly Share More Commonalities then Differences … but will save that until another time! ((smile))

… continuing in next comment box …

Terry, much like You, I have Always felt Drawn to other Eras in Time … the Ancient Age of Greece … Mythology and All …. Medieval Europe … I would have signed up with Robin Hood … or aspired to be one of the Knights At the Round Table in Camelot!

A Buccaneer … A Pirate …. An Adventurer whether Exploring Africa or Mt. Everest in search of the Yeti … aka Abominable Snowman …..
Or any of the Three Kingdoms Period of China … and of course Ancient Egypt!!

I built a Patio in my Back yard for my Mother, and it ended up being quite a Project … 9 tons of Dirt … 9 tons of Pea Gravel and a whole lot of Stone Blocks later … I got into it so deeply that my catch phrase around the house became …

“I’ve Got Pyramids to Build!”

Somehow working on that Project over the course of a year’s time … I really began to Identify with the Builders of The Great Pyramids, and imagined what they felt. My vivid Imagination gave me “Visions of Ancient Egypt and the Builders of the Stone Pyramids”
I thought to myself … “What A Wonderful Imagination I Have!!” LOL!

When I went to Hong Kong, and the up to the top of Victoria Peak … a Fortune Teller “found me” … and just didn’t want to “No” for an Answer! Of course I knew that he was interested in My Tourist Dollars … But … He told me things that were quite Amazing.

I Denied that He was accurate, so as not to give him an clue to Build on Lucky Guesses that he might be making. But still I had to Admit to myself that He was very accurate in describing My Life and Personal Friends and Family back in the USA! I never admitted to Him, just how accurate He was though … But He Was!

A few Years later … A Psychic “found Me” … told Me that they had a Message For Me … that My Grandfather was Proud of the Work I was doing! This Psychic went on to Tell Me that I had Lived Previous Lives in Egypt, France, China and Greece!!

Terry, sorry that it took me all of the above just to get here … but I like to Try and Put Things In Perspective, because that is What Gives them the Depth Of Meaning that they carry!

Terry … The Words of these Two “Psychics” wouldn’t Mean so much … except … I have, over the years, had …. Vivid Visions of Life in Egypt, China and Greece … that seemed More Like Memories … then just imagination! In other words … I Felt and Experienced these … long before these people with Psychic Gifts … Told Me that I had lived previous Lives there! Since there was no logical way to prove it, either way, I just allowed myself to “Enjoy the Possibilities!” ((smile))

Terry, Believe it Or Not … I was also Told that there are People here with me in This Lifetime, that Have Shared Previous Lifetimes with Me! Or that We have Lived in the Same Eras, and Known One Another Then, as We Do in this Lifetime!

In Other Words … They Say that Some of The Same People actually “Reincarnate” and Share the Same Eras and Lifetimes, and sometimes, even Share Associations, Friendships and Relationships, from Lifetime to Lifetime!!

Ever Met Someone and Thought to Yourself … “Gee, I Feel Like I Know that Person!?”
Or Like You Have Known or Have Met that Person Before??

Well, if We Examine Their Theory … Wouldn’t that Make Perfect Logical Sense?? LoL!!

There’s a lot more, in the Details, I’ll look forward to Sharing with You as we go, but Hope that Speaks to Your Question for now ….

That is also, “Why” it is so easy for Me to Imagine You and I Fighting Together In Battles to Uphold Those Codes of Chivalry, Justice and Honor!

Okay, Cousin … I’ve been up All Night Working, and I think it’s beginning to Show in my Rambling … so I best Close here for now!

Thank You Again for All That You Do! Know that It’s Always Appreciated!!

Yours from the Parapet to the Pinnacle … Battlements to The Lion’s Paw!

Michael...this occurance does not surprise me, especially coming from a man/human as open to "nature" as you. OOB, OBE, AT...whatever one terms it, it is powerful, natural, and either beautiful or harsh. Sight, prognostication, and again however these are termed can be every bit as powerfully beautiful, or harshly dangerous to feel and accomplish. Time and distance only exist to the human mind...not to nature or the Ultimate Source (God)!

Healthy RESPECT is a good thing...but neither be afraid of the natural gifts of our Creator!

  Michael, this was so beautiful that i had to read it twice before commenting on its most important, hardest to attain, and most cherrished meaning...and I must applaud you!

To share of the mind, heart, and soul, is likely the greatest of initial factors to happiness and longevity...to never know that is mere lust, and to share only one or another of those is a fools game (that Can work, though normally does not)!

So, friend or LOVE...met face to face or in Spirit...awesome things can, and do, occur...when two become one!

  and not to sound the fool, nor the enigmatic...but to quote part, and answer without question of how one might discover or know:

The Buddhist Monks of China and Tibet, have long claimed that they have done this for Centuries, and that anyone Can Learn to do it with proper Study, Guidance and Practice. Could this be Where Native American Indians, Go when They have A Vision Quest? I, myself, had never pursued learning Astral Travel or Astral Projection, and could Only Wonder … “Can A Person Discover this quite by Accident??”

Yes,likely to all above...even dimensional gateways may be jumped, and a Vision Quest is such a "Jump" (in my personal view)...hehehe

What would have been awesome? To have had the sand analyzed to see where it came from...KEWL dreaming and Spirit Walking! Awesome blog (again)!

I have been reading some stories like before wayback in college....i don't know but i beleive that there's a sixth sense as they call. And i often expirience dreaming and in the middle of the dream i am crying... as i wake up i found myself still crying.... how can you explain all of this things.....(you explain it in your blog) there was one time i dreamed to be running and i am so exhausted that i cant run anymore as i woke up.... i was so exhausted too much , and i am sweating .......but i don't mind all of these things that if i am going to tell to my friends they would just laugh at me....
i do beleive,,,, ( although not quite strong)...sometimes..., like the mental communication... you're thinking of that somebody and that just suddenly he is there/ or he is calling me..... What a work of the mind its... a mystery,enthralling, unbeleivable...
Anyway.... i love your blog......as always.......

 We as humans sometimes take for granted our Divinity...and are awed by the many 'mysteries' of our own existence. Thank you for sharing.

  Michael, you won't know how your blog kept me in the state of dream when I am reading with heart and tears. Right before sleep I just dragged back by your short comment and clicked to view. I am so appreciated you left the comment on my page so that I didn't miss such a wonderful, precious and touching writing ever since I had the same experience as what you wrote here. Each word you put down as if it were the sound of my heart. Even we have the same funny feature with the state of dreams! Yes, this paragraph :that I used to “Program My Dreams before Going to Sleep, and actually Decide What I was going to Dream About that Night!”......indeed the same of mine.

I am tearing not only because of what I said above, but more of what you felt with Amy. Poetic, romantic, passionate, sincere, loveable..When I am reading them, as if you were partly of my souls that I've known very well, without even a moment of hesitation and ponder, your words are mine......though I can't write them in the way you do. But, yes, right here, I feel them the same.

I wrote to my love: Buddha grants 500 times glares to the DESTINY of meeting you in this life, I keep glaring at you thousands of times to trade the chance to be with you in eternity.....
Michael, I am tearing because of your writing...Thanks!

  Pardon the intrusion to your page, some unknown force took me to your blog as i was heading to bed..I for one believe every word you say, as i have experienced these things, just not as vividly as you, i was a bit afraid at the time. However recently i have been blessed with having my "soul mate" per say at my side..He helps me to understand many things i did not. Have a wonderful week...and thank you for the lovely read.~~M~~
