When you are not being the person you desire, you are robbing everyone else from the joy you can bring them and worse, you rob yourself. - Edward Art

the sin which the bible talks of is not fulfilling your desires. you are meant to fulfill your desires. for what other reason do you live then? you are meant to live in happiness, to experience all the joy in the world. and if you are actively not letting yourself experience that joy then you are sinning. do not restrict yourself of joy. if you do not let yourself experience joy you are restricting everyone else of joy too as everyone is you pushed out, therefore, the pure joy you feel will ultimately be reflected onto everything. but when you are not being the person you desire then you are not letting the rest of the world be joyous either.

Imagination defined in the dictionary is the faculty of mind that produces images independent of reality. The world thinks this (3D world) is reality, and your imagination is not. I am telling you, it is just the reverse. - Neville Goddard

your imagination is your reality and the 3D world is not. the 3D world is but a reflection of reality (your imagination). that is because you only live through your imagination and everything you see is therefore a creation (manifestation) of it.

so, why ponder on the how? it’s quite pointless. just imagine and let it be. feel it to be yours and there’s nothing else to be done. it’s already yours because your imagination is the reality, not the outer-world. to change your reflection, you must first change self. not the other way around.

You can't discuss HOW I am going to Barbados when I am already IN Barbados. - Neville Goddard

if you already have it in your mind’s eye, then nothing can stop it from reflecting back into the outside. if you change your hair you inevitably see it in the mirror. if you change something about yourself it will inevitably manifest on the outside.

Astral Projection 101 (Masterpost on Astral Travel)

How can I go out of the body?

— natinhaaa This question gets asked so much so i just decided to try my best at doing a master post on Astral Projection. That way we can throw all the basics out there.  Astral Projection or Out-of-body Experience(OBE) is when the conscious mind separates from the Physical Body and moves into the Astral Body to experience. We technically Astral Project every single of night of our lives as we go to sleep and enter into the Dream state. However most of us just don’t remember this as we’re usually unconscious. So saying you can’t astral project is a lie because EVERYONE can do it, we do it every single day. Some people enjoy learning to Astral Project consciously and this is what we’re going to talk about…

When you astral project you are consciously aware of things you encounter while out of your physical body. Some people can astral project naturally and others are still torn by the fear of Astral Projection and find the inability to let go. We are attached by a silver/gold cord to our body so when we dream we can easily go back into our body when we wake up. There is never a chance of death from learning Astral Projection, you are entirely completely safe.  “There are two general schools of thought on the nature of astral projection. These can broadly be defined as the mystical model and the phasing model.

The Phasing Model, which was defined by Robert Monroe, holds the belief that it is impossible to actually leave your body in the truest sense of the word, and that the astral planes and the physical world are merely points on the long spectrum of consciousness. When a person projects, they actually “phase” into another area of consciousness and the locales it contains. This can be likened to tuning a radio to another station. One of the initial signposts representing a phase shift away from physical reality has been labeled the state of focus 10 (mind awake/body asleep). This viewpoint can be seen as a logical progression of the philosophy that external reality is actually an internally created state

The Mystical Model includes a large variety of belief systems and astral maps, but they are tied together by their belief that astral projection takes place outside of the actual physical body. In this model, a more subtle energy body is believed to carry the consciousness outside of the physical body. In their book Projection of the Astral Body, Carrington and Muldoon detail how consciousness is transferred into a secondary “energy” body (the etheric body) to allow travel into the astral planes. This idea is also described by other authors such as Robert Peterson in his book Out of Body Experiences: How to have them and what to expect (chapters 5, 17, 22), and Robert Bruce in his book Astral Dynamics (pages 31-33, 404-410, 538). Bruce expanded on this idea in his book Astral Dynamics, stating that higher planes of existence are reached through the progressive projection of subtler energy bodies from previous projected bodies (pages 33-42). The subtle body is attached to the physical body by means of an energetic connection which usually takes the appearance of a silver cord ‘plugging’ into the chakra system like an umbilical cord. Robert Peterson describes this in chapter 13 of his book Out of Body Experiences, Robert Bruce in his book Astral Dynamics (pages 27, 52-53, 84, 397-403,544) and by Carrington and Muldoon in their book Projection of the Astral Body.“

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HOW TO GO OUT OF BODY STEP BY STEP There are many techniques out there but i thought it would be fascinating to write about the Monroe technique since he was one of the first people to discover Astral Projection. Robert Allan Monroe (1915 - 1995) was a psychic researcher and author of  Journeys Out of the Body, a 1971 book that popularized the expression “out-of-body experience” (also called astral projection). Monroe was a conservative Virginia businessman who had his first out-of-body experiences in 1958. After much experimentation, he founded The Monroe Institute, a “nonprofit education and research organization devoted to the exploration of human consciousness” and developed a method he called Hemi-Sync (hemispherical synchronization) to induce mental states that are favorable for inducing out-of-body experiences. Hemi-Sync is a system which aims to balance the brain waves of both of the brain’s hemispheres or lobes through cooperative processing of auditory stimulus. The stimulus, together with meditative instruction, is provided via headphones. The method is based on a concept known as binaural beats.

Step One:

Relax the body. According to Monroe, “the ability to relax is the first prerequisite, perhaps even the first step itself” to having an OBE. (out of body experience). This includes both physical and mental relaxation. Monroe does not suggest a method of attaining this relaxation, although progressive muscle relaxation, coupled with deep breathing exercises (inhale 1, exhale 2, inhale 3… until about 50 or 100) are known to work well.

Step Two:

Enter the state bordering sleep. This is known as the hypnogogic state. Once again, Monroe doesn’t recommend any method of doing this. One way is to hold your forearm up, while keeping your upper arm on the bed, or ground. As you start to fall asleep, your arm will fall, and you will awaken again. With practice you can learn to control the hypnogogic state without using your arm. Another method is to concentrate on an object. When other images start to enter your thoughts, you have entered the hypnogogic state. Passively watch these images. This will also help you maintain this state of near-sleep. Monroe calls this Condition A.

Step Three:

Deepen this state. Begin to clear your mind. Observe your field of vision through your closed eyelids at the blackness in front of your. After a while you may start to notice light patterns. These are simply neural discharges. They have no specific effect. Ignore them. When they cease, one has entered what Monroe calls Condition B. From here, one must enter an even deeper state of relaxation which Monroe calls Condition C– a state of such relaxation that you lose all awareness of the body and sensory stimulation. You are almost in a void in which your only source of stimulation will be your own thoughts.

The ideal state for leaving your body is Condition D. This is Condition C when it is voluntarily induced from a rested and refreshed condition and is not the effect of normal fatigue. To achieve Condition D, Monroe suggests that you practice entering it in the morning just as you are getting up, or after a short nap.

Step Four:

Enter a state of Vibration. This is the most important part of the technique, and also the most vague. Many projectors have noted these vibrations at the onset of projection. They can be experienced as a mild tingling, or as if electricity is being shot through the body. Their cause is a mystery. It may actually be the astral body trying to leave the physical body.

For entering into the vibrational state, he offers the following directions:

1. Remove all jewelry or other items that might be touching your skin.

2. Darken the room so that no light can be seen through your eyelids, but do not shut out all light.

3. Lie down with your body along a north-south axis, with your head pointed toward magnetic north.

4. Loosen all clothing, but keep covered so that you are slightly warmer than what might normally be comfortable.

5. Be sure you are in a location where, and at a time when, there will be absolutely no noise to disturb you.

6. Enter a state of relaxation.

7. Give yourself the mental suggestion that you will remember all that occurs during the upcoming session that will be beneficial to your well being. Repeat this five times.

8. As your breathe, concentrate on the void in front of you.

9. Select a point a foot away from your forehead, then change your point of mental reference to six feet.

10. Turn the point 90 degrees upward by drawing an imaginary line parallel to your body axis up above you head. Focus there and reach out for the vibrations at that point and bring them back into your body.

Even if you don’t know what these vibrations are, you will know when you have achieved contact with them.

Step Five:

Learn to control the vibrational state. Practice controlling them by mentally pushing them into your head, down to your toes, making them surge throughout your entire body, and producing vibrational waves from head to foot. To produce this wave effect, concentrate on the vibrations and mentally push a wave out of your head and guide it down your body. Practice this until you can induce these waves on command. Once you have control of the vibrational state, you are ready to leave the body.

Step Six:

Begin with a partial separation. The key here is thought control. Keep your mind firmly focused on the idea of leaving the body. Do not let it wander. Stray thoughts might cause you to lose control of the state.

Now having entered the vibrational state, begin exploring the OBE by releasing a hand or a foot of the “second body”. Monroe suggests that you extend a limb until it comes in contact with a familiar object, such as a wall near your bed. Then push it through the object. Return the limb by placing it back in to coincidence with the physical one, decrease the vibrational rate, and then terminate the experiment. Lie quietly until you have fully returned to normal. This exercise will prepare you for full separation.

Step Seven:

Dissociate yourself from the body. Monroe suggests two methods for this. One method is to lift out of the body. To do this, think about getting lighter and lighter after entering the vibrational state. Think about how nice it would be to float upward. Keep this thought in mind at all costs and let no extraneous thoughts interrupt it. An OBE will occur naturally at this point.

Another method is the “Rotation Method” or “roll-out” technique. When you have achieved the vibrational state, try to roll over as if you were turning over in bed. Do not attempt to roll over physically. Try to twist your body from the top and virtually roll over into your second body right out of your physical self. At this point, you will be out of the body, but next to it. Think of floating upward, and you should find yourself floating above the body.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Common Questions:  How do i get over the fear? you have to let go completely. you have to let go. you have to let go. Completely LET GO. Did i mention you need to let go? That is truthfully the only way to get past the fear of Astral Travel. You can’t fight the resistance that builds from the ego-mind you have to put yourself in a pure state of meditation and Let go by relaxing and being at peace. If you dont lose the fear, you can’t astral project consciously it’s really as simple as that.  I keep getting stuck in Sleep Paralysis?  This is not demons or negative “entities” this is merely the jumping off point. I personally believe when we’re in the sleep paralysis state the reason we have hallucinations and frightening visions is because we’re moreso in a 4th dimensional state of consciousness (the world of thoughts). So when your body is anchored in that state it is actually the easiest time to try to separate from your body and perform astral projection. Rather than fight the fear go further and pop out on the other side ;) How do we *see* when we’re astral projecting if we don’t have our physical eyes? This is because you are seeing within your Mind’s eye during Astral Projection. Did you know your pineal gland has rods and cones just like your eyes? The pineal gland also emits light and produces melatonin which regulates your sleep cycles.  “the interior of the pineal gland actually has retinal tissue composed of rods and cones (photoreceptors) inside its interior lining just like the eye, and is even wired into the visual cortex in the brain. “The photoreceptors of the retina strongly resemble the cells of the pineal gland”. Dr. David Klein, Science Daily.  It even has vitreous fluid in it like an eye does. "  They don’t call it a third eye for nothing ;) More here: http://theawakenedstate.tumblr.com/post/93240713270/this-is-my-question-about-astral-projection-how-can-we What if the demons or negative entities get me when i’m out of body, am i vulnerable?  Short Answer No, you’re completely safe.  Long answer read here: http://theawakenedstate.tumblr.com/post/93878979050/when-i-was-a-child-i-used-to-have-dream-disorders Tell me about Astral Sex?

I reason not.

Reason is the trickster of inner self's freedom. It temps you to trade your desire for comfort and new over the old.

Throughout our lives we've accepted that reason is a sort of currency in the world of imagination, you want to convince someone of something in return for the feeling of having their trust and do so through language. But words have no place in the world of imagination, they build roads that limit the inner man from going where he wishes to go. We've accepted that to convince self, or be convinced, has to be through words of logical reason.

It's only when we truly go within and feel around that we realize how limiting words themselves can be. Realize this, trying to reason yourself into why and how you are what you want to be will also be how you reason yourself out of it. As the inner man you don't have explain why u are who you want to be, why you have your desire through words and then hope it works.

Are you trying to convince the 3D or yourself?

Because then after the acceptance of doubtful event, your inner self feels " I don't have it" and is met with you saying "no i do have it now, look" then you proceed to imagine different things in an attempt at changing things in the 3D bc you believe satisfaction lies there, only to spiral further and panic.

Do not trust in my advice to be the full proof answer that will finally make u manifest but trust in your ability to understand and guide yourself through it, you can take my words and make them your own.

If creation is finished, then to desire is to have because it exists, you desire it because it exists and how could u want sth beyond your comprehension or its existence? you reason yourself into why you should go into the kitchen if you're hungry? Do you reason why you are in your bed right now?

Trying to reason or explain why you have what you want is the outer man trying to find a logical way things would happen through his limited sight, because he does not see what you, the inner man feels.

I know it can be incredibly difficult for some of you to silence the thoughts of reason, but the point is not to silence thoughts. It's about choosing not to deal with them.

I remember a time after I decided to let go of my negative thoughts, it was only because I cared only about what I wanted to feel, rather than what I should. Reason tried to argue with me but I would always shut it down with "but I really do not care" because I didn't, I didn't care how real it was or even I'd it was real, if I was doing it right. I only cared about feeling it for myself.

If you have to use words and reason yourself into it, you'll find yourself stuck bc words can be limiting to the inner man who feels beyond man made language. We put our feelings into words, but we know that what we feel is far greater than what we say. In a change of state you won't have to explain how you have what you want when you're met with doubt.

You don't reason with your thoughts,you don't reason against objects, you're going against yourself and trying to convince yourself at the same time. It is the same as " well I can't make it happen in the 3D but I have to find a way to materialize it by imagining and if I convince myself then I'll finally have it "

The feeling (acceptance) of self is all that matters and the core of Neville's laws. Neville never imagined to "get out" of a situation or "make something happen" he did it to change himself. He imagined being in Barbatos-the complete opposite environment where he was- to convince himself he was already there, not to forcefully feel happy or greatful, but to show himself proof he was there, and the outer world followed.

Instead of using words as your way to get by in imagination, bring life to it through feeling. Reason might be your currency but belief is your fortune.

All the power of the universe is with you. Feel it, know it, and then act as though it were true.

Hi, I wanted to ask since you seem to be a good reader, how do you clear your energy before tarot? I know not having a clear head or energy can sometimes mess with the reading and I want to get as objective as possible here but I don’t know what to do aside from taking deep breaths so any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

hello!

i use intention. intention is very powerful! when creating my blog, or posts i set intentions in it. i’m a person who generally has a neutral view on things, yet sometimes mental illnesses can get in the way, so what i do is ‘distract myself’ so i can focus on the readings better. for the readings i use the intention ‘’please, show me what i can/should say!’’ and get then messages through cards and intention.  

personally, i’m flattered you call me a good reader because like, unlike many i don’t do meditation, or i don’t clean energies the ways it’s normally done so i don’t know whether what i do is right or wrong. mostly, my intuition is correct because of trusting that whatever card/message i get is right. like, when i do readings, there are certain things that come to my head, and then my ego could deny it or be confused, that lets me know that the first thought i had was correct! 

when i did personal astrology mini readings, i just said whatever came to my mind (without cards), details, energy, auras - and i tried to write down the things that instantly came to my mind (it’s like, you need to recognize what you think for the first milisecond) and that practiced my intuition. which is why now, most of the time, i don’t really do anything? i come to tumblr with the intention of waiting for asks/messages, i answer asks with the intention to help and answer questions and i do readings with the intention of reading for others. everything has intention. 

when you open the fridge, you do it with the intention to eat. when you organize your desk, you do it with the intention of clearing your energy. doing things with intention can help you believe things and manifest even! you can say ‘’i intend to drink this tea, and everytime i drink it i will be lucky in my studies’’. intention is like a good luck charm! i mentioned a lot of this in me healing with me vol 1. but for reading it’s the same. instead of overthinking and worrying whether it’s right or wrong, just ‘trust’ that your guides will give you the cards you are meant to see/show and give you messages you were meant to hear. by intending while shuffling, for example ‘’the cards will show me the answer to the question of (...) without my mind interfering’’ you could get answers that have nothing to do with you! you could also try asking your guides per cards things like, ‘’are these cards the answer?’’ ‘’is this answer correct?’’ or ‘’did my mind/energy interfere with it?’’
