Index of OBE, Part 2

 
 

OBE as a spiritual path


 
 
After a series of nightmares which have been a kind of border guard Jakob started to have his first spiritual experiences:

    "Yesterday, I was walking outside. Suddenly I felt like some kind of pure energy beamed down from the sky through my head. I felt my cheeks getting warmer and I felt goosebums all over my face. If I could see the energy I am sure it would look like a beam of light coming down from the sky entering through the top of my head. It felt so good. I suddenly felt very peaceful, joyful and full of love. I almost started crying. I also got a very strong feeling of being forgiven and a feeling of forgiveness.

    And the feeling has lasted. Today I still feel very peaceful. I feel that my life has become complete and I feel divine and at peace with myself and the whole world and universe."

    "I wrote this a few years ago:
    When I fly, I almost feel guilty at my complete weightlessness, my complete disregard for gravity. It is like none of the rules that apply to earth apply to me anymore, I am free from all the constraints of living a human life on earth.
    The emotional and cognitive experience is so rich and so clear in my mind that I can almost imagine that it was a physical experience. That I have stepped through one of the quantum portholes that separate parallel realities and that my experience was indeed an actual one.

    I can never in any amount of poetic or prosaic words explain to you what it is like to fly.
    Firstly it is natural. I am never surprised at my ability to elevate above the earth and the moment it happens not only my body but my whole souls lifts up and flies.
    I am so accustomed to it that I no longer just stretch out my arms and move forward, I float on my back looking at the stars, merging with their buoyant love of the heavens, and making it my home for a few minutes.

    I "fly" backwards, upside down, sitting, whatever I feel like, but one thing is for sure, when I am flying I feel closer to God than in any of my other guises whether in dream or reality. I know that His/Her Divinity lives inside of me, that the knowledge of that Divinity will elevate me beyond all that is earthly and small and will make me a part, a significant part of a expanding universe. I float on the breath that God breathes out."

    Nichole,     (OBE Letter 509)
    hi alfred, i love obes and lucid dreaming, ive got to do really cool things and see really beautiful things, i want to really use this gift for more spiritual adventures and to advance my self in that way, is there anything i should be telling myself or concentrating on differently that would help me focus more on that aspect rather than on other things, just to begin with the fact that obe's and astral traveling are possible gives me an incredible sense of peace and comfort, i know we never die, but is there something i can do or concentrate on before i start my obes. thanks again,
    nichole

    Hi Nichole,
    achieving OBEs is just the start. Improve your inner empathic feeling while OBEing, that's done in a kind of listening and somehow melting of your feelings with the objects and living beings around you (in your OBEs). After you have learned how this runs and after having come to deeper insights by means of this way, try the same in your normal daytime.
