Twilight Zone?

The Twilight was an American television anthology series by its narrator and host Rod Serling. Each episode was a mixture of fantasy, science fiction, and often concluding with an unexpected twist. We are sowly, but surely, moving into just such a real life twilight zone. In football the so-called "red zone" (within 20 yards of the goal line) is very difficult. The 2012 Twilight Zone will be not so much as difficult as mind-boggling. A 2012 Final Fantasy!





Everyone has experienced some deja vu moments, precognitive happenings, telepathic messages, and out of body or mind events. They are going to increase and become more normal than abnormal- more normal than paranormal. I'm not sure of all the reasons. Destiny? Tipping point? Collective consciousness? Ah, there's lots of thughts, but the reality is, we're stepping into a new world.





The God, or gods (if that's your bag), are going to behave as we've thought and planned.





Our expectations that if we do A then B will happen isn't going to work. The laws of nature that have been established by the One who created all life come from One who's really not all that predictable. We need to get ready to rely more on our spiritual Self than our false egoic self. Get ready to enter the Twilight Zone of the world's consciousness.





Let me bring this back down to earth by giving you an historical example- Bill Russell.





In case you've never followed basketball, Bill Russell was one of the greatest players of all time. He won an Olympic gold medal in 1956 and as the spark plug of the Boston Celtics won 11 championships in 13 seasons while being voted the MVP FIVE TIMES! How did he do it? A fifth dimensional consciousness?





Vodoo?





His testimony is that as a teenager he had a "mystical experience-revelation". He began to "spiritually see" things that he'd never seen before. He could closhis eyes and see a play and then go into the game and execute it. At varying times throughout a game he felt he'd step into a ZONE and miraculous things would happen. And to his surprise, while he appeared to be the most competitive person on the floor- he was the antithesis.





When he "felt the zone", he had no desires of winning or losing but just BEING! Remote viewing?





Therein is a clue. We are too busy with life, paying bills, carrying out the expectations of everyone else, and just "getting by". We have no time to just BE. We've become too competitive- too dualistic in our life styles. However, a more cosmic zone era is approaching and we'll have no choice but to enter in. NOW is the time to prepare.

Ghost Hunting - Televised Events

What I think we need to understand is that televised ghost hunts are edited to the point where they give the impression that there is continuous activity.  This is very understandable when you consider that they only have an hour to demonstrate 2 days worth of ghost hunting time.  This is obviously edited and therefore the paranormal activity seems relentless.  As a ghost hunter myself I can sometimes feel very envious of how televised events present themselves to the eager observers.  I wish that on an untelevised event we could get that much activity.  However, this is not the case.  On many ghost hunt events it could be a long arduous night with very much happening at all and when it does there is no repetition or replay of the moment.  We have to be alert and eagle eyed throughout the event.  The best thing about having a lot of people there is that there are more people to hear and see activity.  The downside is obviously that there are also a lot of people who can make noise which can be misinterpreted.

All ghost hunts are fascinating.  Every location is unique as is every ghost hunt event.  The people attending the event all bring something different in terms of energy and belief about what they are doing.  I wonder how interesting it would be for a public ghost hunt to be televised and how controls could be enforced in order to make it entertaining.  It would of course be quite an active event as the timeframe would be filled with the movement of the public and re-settling into various locations.  However, I could see how this could work.  It would be a bit like the public who watch the televised versions of a ghost hunt physically going into the Television to be part of the televised event.  No longer being an observer but a participator.

How to contact paranormal beings

Is it possible to contact the paranormal and unknowns of this universe? Till this day, science cannot dismiss the existence of the paranormal phenomena or the possibility of paranormal contacts. Furthermore, many people have shared their experience of extraordinary encounters. The search of a way to contact the paranormal, led to many differing methods.

How can we contact the paranormal? There are various forms of paranormal such as spirits (any incorporeal supernatural beings), ghosts (souls of the dead), demons (evil supernatural beings), or guardian angels (benevolent spiritual beings). Various methods are derived to contact the paranormal beings like psychic mediums and paranormal investigators, or using Ouija boards, incantations, and meditation.

Psychic Mediums

Some people are trained to talk with spirits, to find answers to questions. It is claimed that law enforcement, when working on hopeless cases of missing persons, hired psychic mediums to look for possible clues.

Paranormal Investigators

Paranormal investigators are professional, who earned a living, hunts for ghost in haunted places. They used special sensitive devices to detect supernatural presence on the scene. Their equipment includes: digital and video cameras, tape recorders, and EMF meters.

Ouija board

Ouija board is a divine item specially encoded with letters, numbers, and the words “yes”, “no”, and “goodbye” printed on it. With the hand as a pointer, the communicating spirit will attempt to answer the questions with the text on the board. However, this activity can be potentially dangerous as many warned. This led to several ignorants people challenging the danger for their purpose of fun.

Spells and Incantations

Reading of magical words and phrases led to casting of spells on spirits, people or objects. In certain cults, spells can be used for raising spirits or performing dangerous acts.

Meditation

Meditation is a practice to focus the practitioner mind, bringing a person to the state of a higher consciousness. Meditation is considered to be the safest method to contact the supernatural. By making yourself comfortable, concentrate on your breathing, relax your body, and empty your mind. Being calm and maintaining a clear head, you will have a chance to feel or receive a message from the paranormal. Ask clear and concise questions, and you may receive clear answers.


An important fact is paranormal contacts can be fatal for those unprepared people. Learn more about the safety measures before undertaking any attempt to contact the paranormal.

Scary Creatures for Halloween

Since Halloween is one of the most celebrated festivals of the season, it is no wonder that people really go the extra mile to make the most out of it through parties, creepy decorations, and of course, scary costumes. With barely a week to go before Halloween, party-deprived individuals and party animals alike must be raving about the many costume events leading up to October 31. Which costume to wear ---sexy, Hollywood inspired, etc---is another factor that compounds people's Halloween jitters.

Don't let the costume situation get to you. There are many costume ideas to choose from if you really want to be the talk of the town during this season of fright. You can let the true you come out by dressing up as a fictional character, sexy vixen, or a Hollywood pop princess. But then again, if you really want to stay true to the spirit of Halloween, you can never go wrong with scary creatures.

Scary creatures never get out of style during Halloween. No matter how many new concepts and Halloween costume ideas come out, they often turn out to be just a phase that would soon be overshadowed by scary creatures for Halloween. These Halloween strange creatures are just like your favorite pair of jeans---they never run out of style.

Scary creatures for Halloween enthusiasts are always in. If you want to really look the part, scary creatures for Halloween range from the paranormal to the creepiest and most nightmarish. Here are just some of the top scary creatures that you could use as inspiration for your costume.

Doppelgangers

Doppelgangers are ghostly and evil creatures that can shapeshift into an image of a living person. The word "doppelgänger" is of German origin which literally means "double goer". It is a word that often describes the phenomenon whereby someone catches a glimpse of his own image out of the corner of his eyes. In some traditions, it is considered as an omen or an apparition of an unfortunate event that's bound to happen.

Gargoyles

Often depicted as scary creatures with wings and demonic features, gargoyles are entities that are believed to protect buildings from evil spirits.

Manticores

Manticores are feared man-eating creatures that have a body of a lion, a tail of poisonous spines, and according to some sightings, a face that resembles a human's. With its tail of spines, and triple rows of teeth, a manticore is a stealth killer that can swallow its victims whole without leaving any trace.

Nagas and Naginis

These are serpent-like creatures that resemble human from the waist up, and snakes from the waist down. The males are known as Nagas while females are known as Naginis. They are limbless and often depicted as cobra-like in movement.

Wendigo

Wendigo, "the spirit of lonely places" is a cannibalistic spirit that can possess humans. Wendigos are thought to possess evil men. It is said that one can turn into a Wendigo through indulging in cannibalism. It is depicted as a tall thin creature that resembles a human being. It is also portrayed as someone twisted, fanged and bloodstained.

Scary creatures for Halloween are a great costume idea. Dressing up as one of these nightmarish creatures would not only pronounce the spirit of Halloween, but would also earn you some screams of fright, awe and gratification this thriller season.

Why Bother Watching Supernatural Episodes?

The world of the paranormal is back – back in television that is. The signs were clear when the show Lost, and Medium by ABC and NBC respectively have been gaining ratings. Warner Brothers has joined the fray with the new series Supernatural. Episodes of this show play like its own mini horror movie. The truth is, Warner Brothers have always been doing this kind of show. They were the ones who made Buffy the Vampire Slayer such a big hit. They followed it with the spin-off Angel. Then there was the hit series that made Witches so much sexier Charmed and then finally, the very successful Smallville based on the teen life of the worlds most popular superhero. Supernatural features pretty boys and pretty girls all involved in the world of unholy phenomena. Despite that, his show can actually scare you.

The main characters Sam and Dean Winchester are played by actors with unpronounceable last names Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. The two are actually ok actors. They do their job on screen well enough for us to believe what they are doing or to believe that there is actually some demon in the scene. The only distraction is that they are just look too much like pretty boy models. Jared Padalecki has been trying to get other kinds of acting opportunities. He recently had a role as a victim in the House of Wax horror movie and as another victim in the movie Cry Wolf. Okay, so those roles aren’t exactly new. He might not be able to get out of the genre of the supernatural. Episodes that showcase his acting skills are many though, and might be good enough for his career. On the other hand, Jensen Ackles seems like a more veteran actor. He is more convincing for me.

Eric Kripke, another unpronounceable surname, is the Supernatural Episodes creator and executive producer. This is a hell of a lot better than the last project he was involved in, the massive failure called “Tarzan.�? Supernatural episodes have a better horror quality. It actually made my heart skip maybe once or twice throughout the season. But maybe that is only because I am not really that used to seeing blood and gore in my television set. My dose of horror blood is always taken through the movie houses. So in the final analysis, Fox has tried to combine some elements from The X-files, and also some story elements from the show Route 66. The show, especially in the last few plot twisting episodes of season 4 is worthy of being watched. It’s a welcome addition to the horror genre in television which seems to have been thinning out as of late.

I think I saw a Ghost, what could it have been?

There are many possible explanations  for a 'Ghost sighting' . Fraudulent claims aside, let's look at some examples of what this can be.

Commonly , a Ghost sighting can be a result of ones imagination while intoxicated or influenced by seeing a scary movie etc.

Going a step further, apparitions can often be a product of your subconscious. The subconscious mind is extremely powerful and supplies the conscious mind with all of the information used to make decisions ( the function of the conscious mind ). Why would the subconscious make you think you see a 'ghost' ? Well , another major function of the subconscious is to protect us . It does this mostly by developing 'programs' ( much like a computer program) to deal with situations it has deemed dangerous or detrimental to us based on previous experience.  A very simple and unfortunately common example is with obese people who in my experience to date ( and that of all of the  Mental Health Professionals I have discussed this with so far...)  were all sexually abused as a child . Their subconscious has attributed the unwanted attention to being 'attractive', and the simplest way it perceives to make them 'unattractive' and therefore 'safe', is to become extremely overweight. Right or wrong, this is how the subconscious mind works. So until these poor souls are able to release the hidden pain and trauma of the abuse and the 'program', no amount of desire/dieting/exercise, will get the weight off.

With the above example understood, you can perhaps understand that the subconscious is very powerful at controlling  a persons perceptions of things. So let's say you are about to do something extremely dangerous and your subconscious is throwing all sorts of warnings at you and you are ignoring them. It is entirely conceivable that in a given situation, it could produce an image to 'scare' you into a different course of action to remove you from the danger.

Going beyond that, there ARE apparitions that are not imagination, and not the subconscious, but are of Paranormal origin and are very real. To determine whether they are genuine or not is the subject for investigation. These can be loosely grouped into visual apparitions, those in photographs, and those seen in ones 'minds eye'. Beyond that there also different types , which is something I would go into detail with a client if it was deemed necessary.

This has just been a brief overview, but one which I hope has shed some light on a very misunderstood topic.

Peace,

Was it Just a Dream?

Did you ever have a dream and wonder if it was real, or if it was a memory of something from your past?  Or was it a glimpse of the future?  Maybe it wasn't a dream at all.  Over thirty years ago, I had an experience that I'll never forget, and may never fully understand, but I can now tell the story.

Alone, I lie in the darkness of my bedroom in Louisiana.  When my eyes opened, I could see no hint of moonlight through the slight opening in the curtains.  There were no sounds, no noise from the other rooms, no clocks ticking, and no crickets outside the window.  It felt like I was floating on air, with no bed beneath me; there was no cold or warmth.   The feeling was peaceful, with no worries, as time stood still.  Like a blanket, the room enveloped me and kept me safe.  I could only focus on my surroundings as I realized the only thing I could move was my head.

As I moved my head to look around the room, my eyes were drawn towards a white light high in the left corner of the room.  It wasn't a perfect circle of light; only a cloud. The light consumed the ceiling and the wall, never touching the floor. A gray light appeared inside the circle with an image of my father who passed away when I was only fourteen.  I wanted to speak, but my mouth could not form words. There was so much to say; so many questions to ask.  Why did he die so suddenly when I was young?  Did he blame me for not knowing what to do to help him as his heart suddenly stopped?  If he hadn't picked me up as school that snowy day, would he have not been so stressed as he tried to get the car up the steep hill to home?  If I could speak, then questions would be asked, and guilt feelings put to rest.

For the first time since my eyes opened, I heard only the sound of his voice as he said, "Go back, you have something to do."  I still couldn't speak, and my attempts to move were merely making me shake.  What was he trying to tell me?  Where was I, and where was I going back?  I hadn't seen my father since I was young, so I didn't want to leave him.  My eyes felt very heavy and I fought trying to close them, but I failed.

When I opened my eyes, a nurse said, "Don't move your head, be very still because the doctor had a hard time with you."  I felt very tired as I closed my eyes and fell asleep. When I awoke, my mother was standing beside me. She looked peaceful, and yet sad, as she held my hand and wiped her tears.  It was difficult for her to speak, but softly told of how the doctor had a hard time stopping the bleeding. I had a simple nose surgery but there was a complication. As I looked at my mother, with the light surrounding her from the window, I remembered seeing the ghostly image of my father.  For some reason I couldn't tell her, or anyone what I experienced.  It was very private and personal.

A couple of months later, the doctor finally told me that my heart stopped as he tried to stop the bleeding, and that he fought hard to keep me alive.  I then wondered, and have questioned since that day, if what I experienced was real.  Was it a dream as my mind searched through memories of my father; or perhaps a near death experience?  I've looked for answers, but fear that I'll never know the truth.  It gives me peace of mind thinking that it was the ghost of my father, and that he was once again with me, if only for that short period of time.

I don't yet know why I was sent back or what it is that I have yet to do.  Perhaps I'll know the answer to this someday.  Meanwhile, I study the paranormal in an attempt to find answers to so many of my questions.

Psychic Detective uses EVP to Solve Crime!

Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) are electronically captured sounds that resemble speech, but are not the result of intentional voice recordings.

Gabbie Chase is a psychic medium detective, psychic lecturer, teacher, and free lance writer. At a very young age, Gabbie had three near-death experiences that brought about her awareness of the spiritual abilities that she inherited.

Gabbie Chase Investigations, GCI, is a resource for family members, law enforcement agencies, and private investigators who need assistance with a missing persons or unsolved homicide case through non-traditional means. It is her mission to serve as a connection for those who have exhausted other traditional means of investigation in such cases.

“After many years of using Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) as a tool to help with missing person cases and readings for those who have had family members who have passed away, I decided to use this as a way of finding information about events that has yet to happen.  I strongly believe that use of alternative communication as a tool to gather information can save time and money for those persons and companies seeking information to process time sensitive projects.�?

Communication is a vital part of her psychic medium business and after many years studying the paranormal and parapsychology, she has found that EVP is a very strong and clear method of communication when solving crimes.  It is a highly effective method when used in combination with her medium skills.

“It is my life’s work to become more acute in finding and utilizing communication as a tool not only for readings and allowing others to hear and see those who have passed over, but to help solve missing persons cases.�?

“This project has become a great success and continues to give me such information as: weather, current events, personal events, and thoughts of others.  EVP can warn us about an upcoming natural disaster, security issue, help find a missing person, or track down a criminal. The possibilities are endless, Law enforcement agencies ought to obtain the services of alternative investigators, this could open a whole new way of investigating and crime solving �? says Chase.

GCI uses non- traditional sources such as psychic seeing, remote viewing, EVP (electronic voice phenomena), intuitive investigation, psychometry, and psychic tracking. All information obtained by GCI is private and is not be shared with any other source other than those directly connected to the case.  All communication to and from GCI is not shared with anyone other than Gabbie Chase and her staff.

Real Ghosts – Were they summoned by "The Curse Of Savannah" To Haunt The City?

Real ghosts, haunted places and paranormal activity make the sleepy southern town of Savannah, Georgia "America's Most Haunted City." Is there really a "Curse of Savannah" to explain all of this?

<b>Is it Hoodoo

or something more sinister?</b>

There are many mysterious happenings and ghost stories related to the Curse of Savannah.  It seems like a haunted house with real ghosts is lurking around almost every shadowy corner. There are countless true scary stories that the locals will swear by.

Ghostly shrouds of Spanish moss cascading from mighty oaks everywhere

and the balmy southern air create an eerie atmosphere in Savannah.  Here the tales of mystery seem larger than life (death?).

Stories of the Curse of Savannah date to initial settlement and perhaps farther back to a time when missionaries, buccaneers, and American natives inhabited the coast.  A number of the nation's bloodiest battles were fought on Savannah soil, including the Siege of Savannah during the American Revolution.  1,200 men were killed in one hour – only Bunker Hill had more casualties.

Plague, fire, and hurricanes have devastated the city, leaving in their wake a  legacy of death and dismay. Stories of real ghosts are woven into the history of Savannah to such an extent that it is difficult to separate the real from the surreal.

<b>A City Built On The Dead</b>

Savannah was founded in 1733 by General James Oglethorpe and is Georgia's  oldest city.  The City was built initially on an Indian burial ground known as Yamacraw Bluffs.  As settlers were struck down by Yellow Fever or other unfortunate events, the cemeteries filled rapidly.

Businesses and homes were forced to expand onto the ground where the dead lay resting, as the city grew.  Some bodies were disinterred and buried elsewhere, but many were not.  Could it be these restless spirits that haunt the city?

<b>The Hoodoo Doctor</b>

The story is told of a former slave and alleged Hoodoo doctor called Mathias. Having obtained his freedom, Mathias planned to infiltrate an estate posing as a slave in order to guide the slaves north to freedom via the Underground Railroad.

On a cool November night in 1859 Mathias made his move.  To protect their escape he provided each slave with a mojo bag. However, one slave refused the offer and threatened to expose the plan, so Mathias killed him.  Twelve slaves escaped, but Mathias was caught and thrown in jail.

Witnesses claimed Matthias was hung in his cell, but the sheriff swore he was killed in the act of attempted escape.  Many believe that Matthias cursed the city in revenge and summoned the many real ghosts that have haunted Savannah ever since.

The Untold Rewards of Meditation

          So much has been written about the benefits of meditation as a continual practice that I do not want to go over the same territory for the zillionth time.  Yes, it’s good for overcoming stress and for lowering blood pressure, and a few other health issues.  But it does much more than just those things.

          One item almost never mentioned about the practice of meditation is that it strengthens character and personality.  Old fears and hang-ups often fall away.  Some of these fears and hang-ups may disappear rather quickly, and others may take a while.  Also, you may gain insight into the marked traits and habits on which your personality operates.  For sure, you will notice changes in yourself for the better as time goes on.

          I want to add a caveat here before discussing other psychological changes that can occur when one meditates, which is that nothing stated in this article comes with a guarantee.  I do know that meditation exerts a tremendously beneficial influence on behavior, and usually some benefits are realized after a few weeks or a few months of the practice.  But, of course, I cannot guarantee anything, because everyone is different.  How it is going to affect you and how quickly that will happen is something no one else can control.

          One thing that meditation frequently accomplishes over a period of time is getting better in touch with one’s own feelings.  As a person connects more within him- or herself, s/he is more honest personally, and that projects outward, too, in how s/he relates to others.  An understanding and empathy concerning the feelings of others is greatly heightened.  It becomes difficult to act callously or indifferently to someone else’s pain or happiness.  Not that you can always do anything about alleviating anyone’s pain, but you are certainly much more sympathetic and understanding.

          Why is it beneficial to be able to identify with another’s feelings?  For one thing, it is very enriching.  Relationships grow deeper, better bonds are developed with others as you become more attuned to your own feelings and grow in emotional honesty.  Close relationships with significant others, spouses, and children smooth out and deepen, resulting in a richer, more meaningful emotional content.  Meditation can be a big help in resolving conflict issues, and when it comes to such issues, especially family conflicts, any degree of resolution is a huge step forward.

          Another side effect of meditating may be the development of psychic or paranormal abilities.  This certainly depends on the individual.  I had a friend some years ago who was also a meditator, and claimed that she frequently would see some of her past lives when meditating.  One past life in particular would frequently recur. 

          I have had visits from deceased relatives, and once experienced a very powerful visit with a former boyfriend who had committed suicide.  I learned from that experience that suicides do not have a pleasant time of it on the other side.  I also had contact with either a spirit guide or a guardian angel who twice told me his or her name.  Plus I had a few out of body experiences.

          But, here again, I want to stress that whether one becomes more psychic or travels back in time to past lives is dependent on the individual.  It is not so for everyone.  Also, it is certainly not any urgent benefit of meditating.  One can get along just fine in life without contacting the deceased or seeing past lives.

          A benefit that is worth achieving is realizing clear responses to prayers.  It is easier to pray as a meditator, and much easier to realize answers to those prayers.  The truth is the universe hears you even before you give voice to your prayer.  You will notice that your needs and desires are more often fulfilled.  That is because you are more in alignment with the deeper parts of your psyche.  And this just happens automatically as you continue meditating.

          Whatever type of meditation you choose to engage in, whether it utilizes a mantra or not, will be rewarding.  There are countless techniques out there these days.  You now can pick up almost any magazine and read about some meditative technique.  I would suggest you get into a technique you feel comfortable with, and one where you have someone who can guide you for a while at least.  Questions will arise, and that is why it is important to have someone or an organization that can be there for you.

          Although meditation is generally easy to do, nevertheless, many people worry about whether they are doing it right at the beginning, or else they fall off the track, so to speak, and are not practicing it properly.  For many people, having a teacher or guide is very important.

          One more item I wish to stress is that once you begin meditating, you stay with the practice.  It is really something that should become a lifelong habit, like brushing your teeth or your morning cup of coffee.  As you continue the practice, you will reap greater and greater rewards from it. 

          Actually, you will look forward everyday to that time when you can be all alone in the silence, and shut out this obstreperous world with all its troubles.  It truly feels like a breeze out of heaven!

Vedic Astrology Lesson 11



Kipling's " The East and West shall never meet " was countered

by Russell " The supremacy of the East was not only military.

Science, Philosophy and the arts all shone in the Eastern world

when the West was sunk in barbarism". The Occident's excellence

is in marketing; marketing is its second language! And because

of its expertise, the West dominates the fields of Business & Industry.

The Orient is skilled in Philosophy & the psychic sciences. Its

second language is spirituality! Our aim is the union of East &

West, both experts in their methodologies; the vertical and the

horizontal means of acquiring knowledge!

Astrology , Holistic Medicine & Ayurveda



Holistic health does not reject the Western system of medicine in toto.

In the case of infectious diseases, nutritional & hormonal deficiencies

and bodily defects which need surgical intervention, it follows the Western

system. Psychosomatic diseases such as hypertension, peptic ulcer,

allergic asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome etc

can be treated by Holistic Medicine, it averrs. Holistic health provides

a way of life which prevents the reccurrence of some of these ailments.

It is more prophylactic, preventive, curative & restorative.



A good site where you can get quality information about Holistic Medicine

is http://www.holistic-alt.com/



Ayurveda averrs that the toxins secreted by the body gets accumulated

as "Ama" and this Ama is the greatest enemy of the body.



One of the ways of combating Ama is Lankhanam or Fasting, which is the

best medicine. During fasting, Ama is dissolved and the digestive system

gets the much needed rest.

sweeteners.



Foods not okayed by Ayurveda include low octane fuels - all sugars,

excess oils,alcohols, stimulants such as narcotics, tea and coffee,

white breads, candies,carbonated soft drinks and sweetened

fruit juices.



Modern scientific research has found out the presence of

"Phytochemicals" ( "phyto" is a Greek term meaning "plant derived")

that are disease preventing ( cancer preventing ) substances in all

fruits and vegetables. Eat a variety of coloured fruits & vegetables

to get a full range of phytochemicals. One should favour the consumption

of less animal protein foods or diary.

Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )



Occult Vibratory Chemistry known as Tantra is a sister science of Yoga.

While Vedanta focusses on Sat, the Existence aspect of Being, Tantra

focusses on Chit, the Knowledge aspect of Being. The whole Universe

is the play and display of this mighty Consciousness Force known as Chit

Shakti in the Tantras. While Yoga talks about five sheaths or koshas,

according to Tantra, life is an unfoldment of the Self through six energy

centres called chakras. These six energy centres exist in our subtle

physical body. The Serpentine Power known as the Kundalini (which lie

coiled as a serpent in humans), can be awakened by Meditation. When

awakened, She rises from the Root Chakra to the Crown Chakra to

liberate Man.



O Infinite Power ! Thou art the Mind-principle in the Eye brow Chakra

In the Throat Chakra , Thou sport as the Ether-principle

In the Heart Chakra, Thou sportest as Air- principle

In the Solar Plexus Chakra, Thou art Fire-principle

In the Navel Chakra , Thou exist as Water-principle

In the Root Chakra, Thou art the Earth _Principle, O Mighty Mother !

And in the Crown Chakra, Thou sportest blissfully with thy beloved Consort !



When She ( Kundalini ), the miscrocosmic power of the macrocosmic

Shakti, rises from from the Root Chakra & reaches the other Chakras,

siddhis or paranormal powers maniest. Clairvoyance, clairaudience,

distant healing, the ability to see Auras & ultimately Trikala-jnana

( the power to know Past, Present & future ) all manifest in the aspirant.

The aspirant should not be intoxicated by these siddhis. If he tries to

exhibit the siddhis or paranormal powers, he may not reach the Goal of Life.

Instead he should ignore these powers of the mind & continue his Tapas

(meditation) till he is liberated.

Vedic Astrology Xiv

Vedic Astrology Lesson 14



The Descending Node of the Moon ( South Node )was known as Ketu in Vedic Astrology. Ancient

seers had given him the portfolio of Self_Actualisation ( Moksha ). His position in the 12th ( the house of final emancipation or Moksha ) is extolled highly by the savants. Along with the spiritual planets, Jupiter and Saturn, Ketu should be in a good position in the horoscope for one to attain to the Divine Crown.



The role of the South Node ( Ketu ) in Horoscopy



South Node's Effects in the 12 Houses



Ketu in the Ascendant



Ketu in the Ascendant makes one intelligent and endowed with fortune. Will be quarrelsome, will have less wealth, will be melancholic and will have the ability to make others quarrel. But if Ketu is in the signs of Capricorn or Aquarius these effects will be invalid as he is powerful in these signs.



Ketu in the Second House



Will be loquacious , will be devod of eduation and will have a crooked look. Will be learned and will crave for others' wealth.



Ketu in the Third House



Will be noble and charitable. Will be valorous and adventurous.Will love evil people. Will destroy enemies and will enjoy wealth, prosperity and all sorts of enjoyments. Will be a genius of a high order. Will be versatile and will destroy opposition.



Ketu in the Fourth House



Medical Astrology postulates that heart may be afflicted if any malefic is posited in the fourth. ( As the Fourth House rules the heart ). Will be devoid of happiness, landed properties, relatives and conveyances. All relatives will become your enemies. This position of the South Node is detrimental to getting legacy from mother.



Ketu in the Fifth House



Will be cruel, will possess an adamantine will & will not get much happiness from progeny. WIll have disorders of the digestive tract. Will be afflicted by many a disease. Will love sin and will be devoid of happiness.



Ketu in the Sixth House



Medical Astrology postulates that if a malefic is posited in the sixth, stomach disorders will haunt the native. Will be the leader of your community, Will have high education and will be endowed with many a virtue. Will love relatives. Will be proud and vainglorious. Will have allround knowledge

and liberality.



Ketu in the Seventh House



Will be devoid of happiness from spouse and will love women of dubious character. Will be devoid of prosperity. Will be melancholic and will be a Machiavelli. Will love travel and will land in roublesome situations.



Ketu in the Eighth House



Will be intelligent and will have high concentration. Will be afflicted by weapons. Will not have much longevity. Will love other's wealth and women. Will be miserly. Will be famous and will have adership qualities. This position of the South Node in the eighth indicates Karmic backlog.



Ketu in the Ninth House



Will be sinful, poor and will be devoid of paternal happiness.Will be lustful and will not have much penchant for Religion and Morality. Will be a Kapha-type, in ayurvedic terminology.Will be proud and chivalrous. Will criticise the noble and will lower himself by committing heinous acts.



Ketu in the Tenth House



Will love people and will earn the name of philanthropist.Will be quite rich and will have philosophic ability. Will be good in sculpturing. Will be efficient, famous and endowed with professional skill. This dominance of the South Node on the Meridien is good for professional enhancement.



Ketu in the Eleventh House



Will be wealthy with high education. Will have fame and altruistic merit. Will enjoy the pleasures of the mundane a lot. Will be versatile endowed with many good qualities. Will be liberal and generous. Will be very populare because of philanthropic deeds.



Ketu in the Twelfth House



Will be fickle and ever changing. Eyes may be afflicted. Will be fond of travel. Will try to conceal sins. Will be sorrowful and melancholic.Will have dubious character. But this position of the South Node is conducive to immense occult power as Ketu represents the Occult.

Astrology and the Science of Numbers ( Numerology )



Is the Absolute the Numberless Infinite? Or has the Absolute any-thing to do with numbers? Well, Pythagorus inclined to the latter view. Reality, he said , is symbolised by numbers.



Gem Therapy



Modern scientific research has proved that even secondary gems increase planetary rays & these can be used for healing purposes.



Howard Beckman ( http://www.p-g-a.org/) writes " One example is we have identified obvious beneficial effects of using white sapphire for increasing planetary rays of Venus from our own research over many years. The secretary of the P G A, Mr Richard Shaw Brown, (http://www.agt-gems.com/)through his 3 decades in this field of planetary gemology has also proven the efficacy of certain colours of the tourmaline family for increasing benefic planetary rays of Mercury and the Sun.

Astrology , Holistic Medicine & Ayurveda



Symbolism behind Vedic temples



Man has three bodies - physical, astral & causal. The outer wall of theVedic temple represents the physical body of man. The inner wall represents the astral body and the innermost wall represents the

Causal body. Deep within these three bodies is the Self, the Atman who is represented by the Deity ! The word temple is derived from the Latin word tempulum, a place where Law and Justice can be

administered. The principle behind the temple, is Know Thyself ! Am I a god, then? Yes In these pure features I behold Creative Nature to soul unfold ( Goethe ) In other words man suffers from three types of illnesses - physical, mental & spiritual. Holistic Medicine takes the Tripod of Life - Body, mind and Self into consideration.



A good site where you can get quality information about Holistic Medicine

Vedic Holistic Medicine ( Ayurveda) maintains that not only the physical factor but the other factors - mental & spiritual play a pivotal role in the health of the patient. More info about Ayurveda can be had from http://www.chakrapaniayurveda.com/



Astrology & Yoga Therapy



The root Cause of all Disease - Bhoga or Sensory enjoyments Bhoga ( enjoyments of the senses ) is Roga ( Disease). It can only be cured by Yoga ( Divine Alchemy ). All food that is tasty is detrimental to the body, declares Prakriti Therapy The food which cometh from Nature, fruits and vegetables, are alkaline by nature. Maximum health is in an alkaline body. We can only be healthy if we keep a 80%- 20% ratio. ( 80% alkalinity & 20% acidity). This means we have to eat more natural foods & less processed foods ( which are more or less acidic ). Truly speaking, processed

foods,even though they taste well, are robbers as they rob us of our natural, vibrant health.

Angels And Spirit Guides Are Unique Too

A lot of information has been produced in recent years about angels, spirit guides and ascended masters and more and more people are calling upon them for help in dealing with the challenges of life. The information that is surfacing about these other-worldly beings is the result of intensive study into ancient texts that are thousands of years old.



Furthermore, normal people are increasingly experiencing paranormal or supernatural events as they live their daily lives. This is happening across the globe, in the lives of all sorts of different people whether they live in cities or towns, the countryside or even on the streets.



People who have personally witnessed the presence of supernatural beings or have experienced paranormal events have different educational levels, occupations and ages. They include men and women, girls and boys. Interestingly, they represent all faiths and religious groups as well as people who are not involved with any formal church or spiritual fellowship. Some of these people have explored their experiences in articles and even books.



However, the vast majority of those who have had these amazing experiences have not described them formally in writing at all. They just keep living their normal, everyday lives, but have incorporated the supernatural quietly by seeking direction from spirit guides, ascended masters and archangels.



These beings are not experienced in the same way by different people. Sometimes they appear as visions, sometimes they simply speak and at other times they are felt as a presence. However, their presence is detected, the people they connect with have very interesting stories to tell.



We are gaining more understanding over time about how these beings operate. For example, we now know that archangels, ascended masters and spirit guides have specific expertise and areas of specialty. Archangel Michael, for example, is charged with helping us overcome fear both individually and as a whole.



To better understand how to relate to and cooperate with spiritual beings, we can seek the guidance of Archangel Metatron who also specializes in helping children. To create more beautiful lives we can turn to Archangel Jophiel and if we are seeking solutions to health problems, Archangel Haniel can guide us to create the appropriate healing remedies.



If you desire to understand your life purpose, Archangel Chamuel is the one to turn to along with Archangel Michael, Saint Francis or Saint-Germain. Surprisingly, we can even get help to fix mechanical parts from Archangel Michael or Apollo. For grief and loss we can turn to Archangel Azrael for comfort and healing.



Down through the ages, these amazing, extraordinary experiences have also been very natural. However, the supernatural experiences and contacts with other-worldly beings that have occurred throughout our human history are still mind blowing to human beings. Yet, our growing awareness of other beings, dimensions, and realities is finally beginning to be validated by quantum theory and the growing body of research in quantum physics.



When we realize that even spirit beings such as angels, spirit guides and ascended masters have special gifts and areas of specialty, we may be able to more easily accept and appreciate what we can uniquely offer as human beings. We also have things in which we are particularly gifted.



The combination of unique talents and interests that we all possess indicate our life purpose. These important elements of who we are combine to create our personalities and develop into the motivations, desires and decisions that create our destinies. Understanding this, should help us become more patient and understanding of both ourselves and other people.

Haunted Houses of Maryland

Rich with tales of civil war apparitions and ghosts of former hospital patients, Maryland is a state that has a colorful paranormal history. Today we'll focus on just a few of the homes that have earned the ghastly reputation of being haunted -in case you're in market for some haunted real estate of your own.

The first stop on our tour is the Paint Branch Home in the city of Adelphi, which is currently being used as a retirement home. A former slave house, the spirits that haunt the estate don't appear to be violent, but have been known to linger around bedrooms and fill the house with their singing. Songs of the dead can be bone chilling indeed!

Next up is the abandoned mansion on Asylum Road in Catonsville. Whispers and loud noises can be heard from inside in the house, even though the property has been vacant for many years. Some have even claimed to see people walking around the yard, only to disappear into the ether a moment later.

In Ellicott City, Oak Lawn is a stone house that dates back nearly two hundred years. Reports of paranormal activity include disembodied footsteps, flickering lights, and the smell of food cooking. Due to the ghost's penchant for food, he became known as the Cooking Ghost, and has become a regular fixture on the property.

Also in Ellicott is a home known as Lilburn. It's reputed to be one of the most haunted places in the state of Maryland. There's constant speculation as to who is actually haunting the home, as a number of people have died on the premises. Inexplicable noises, windows refusing to stay shut, and strong odors in empty rooms are just a few of the happenings reported by witnesses. One of the staff members in the house also claimed to have seen the ghostly figures of a man and a girl wandering around, as well as hearing a child's cry coming from one of the rooms.

In the unincorporated town of Urbana, Landon House has become particularly famous for its resident ghost dogs. In the early days of the house, a large number of dogs died in the basement area, leaving behind panicked scratch marks on the walls and unsettled spiritual energy. The dogs have been heard barking by a number of witnesses over the years, with no rational explanation. In addition to the dogs, the apparition of a friendly female spirit has been spotted on the estate, as well as the specter of a Civil War officer.

In Perryman, the legend of the Perryman Mansion has grown over the years thanks to its remote location and imposing demeanor. It hasn't been lived in for a number of years, and has fallen into an advanced state of disrepair. Common reports include mysterious voices, horrible stenches, and collections of animal bones both in and outside the house.

Finally, visitors to Towson's Hampton Mansion have heard glass and china breaking, as well as the crashing of chandeliers, where no objects could be found. A former butler has also been seen roaming around the house from time to time, apparently unaware that he's long since been discharged from his position.

Predicting Stocks and Other Things With Remote Viewing

Remote viewing is the unexplained, but scientifically acknowledged ability to see something that is hidden from physical view, something that is usually separated by some distance. Known as PSI, it is classified as a paranormal ability and is sometimes thought of as ESP, clairvoyance, precognition, or telepathy.

Used extensively as an intelligence gathering tool, the US government funded PSI research for over twenty years from the end of world war two through to the 1970s and used it to train 'psychic spies' during the Cold War. Known as part of the Star Gate project, the results were irrefutable: remote viewing is not only possible, but as an innate ability that everyone possesses, anyone can learn how to do it, and for those who become good at it, it is possible for them to achieve a positive result eighty percent of the time -- eighty percent being the threshold replicated across multiple laboratories and cultures.

Up until recently remote viewing has largely been a tool used by the military, the CIA and other related branches of law enforcement. A common practice of the police, it has been used to solve crimes and find missing people. But having caught the imagination of the public, the application of remote viewing is gaining momentum in the mainstream, and is being used by some to predict all kinds of future events including the rise and fall of the stock market.

The idea that remote viewing can be used to successfully predict the outcome of the financial market eighty percent of the time might seem fanciful, if not a dream, but what about using it to see the future state of your health and well being. To use it in this way would in effect enable a person to change their future and maybe even postpone their death.

The ramifications of remote viewing for our daily lives are huge, but more than this, the fact that it is a proven phenomenon that requires our consciousness to transcend time and space, remote viewing is also a way of glimpsing the "universal mind" the "sea of consciousness" that all mystical experiences elude to -- the all knowing that is everywhere, and that we can, through learning how to remote view, tap into whenever we want.

Surprisingly, learning how to remote view is not as difficult as one might imagine. In fact, it can be a deeply relaxing experience because it requires a temporary shift in brainwave frequencies from the beta range to the alpha range. The alpha brainwave frequency range is a dreamy relaxed, non judgemental, non analytical state and is the brainwave states most commonly associated with paranormal experiences. When one develops the ability to enter this state while remaining alert, they are in optimum state not only for remote viewing but for a whole host of experiences that transcend the barriers of the time space continuum.

Ask A Ghost Hunter - Haunted Bathroom?

I have been ghost hunting for over 15 years, started the ParaResearch Foundation in 1998 and currently am the Director of Cincinnati Area Paranormal Existence Research (CAPER). One of the consistence questions I get from clients is about "strange" activity that occurs in their bathrooms. We're not talking about plumbing problems or the latest decorating trends. What we are talking about is the "feeling of being watched, hearing strange noises or seeing shadow figures. For these people the question is: Why are their bathroom scary?

Well, there can be a few things that may account for your jumpiness around the bathroom. Mirrors reflect subtle movements that may have escaped your notice, drippy pipes creating odd noises, odd smells (I'm talking pipes here, not the more...obvious sniffs), etc.

Most activity can be explained by natural causes, not supernatural, so identify where the problem lies and if you still find no reasonable explanation for your uneasiness, start taking notes (when/where/weather conditions/who's in the house). If you decide to investigate with a ghost hunting team later, this information will be invaluable.

Also, the close quarters in some bathrooms and what electrical equipment that is being used: hairdryer, curling iron etc. These items can elevate the emf fields (electromagnetic field). If you are sensitive to high emf fields this could account for you uneasiness in the bathroom.

One last word - another theory is a connection between the fluidity of water and that of spirit activity. It's possible that the water concentrated in the bathroom may serve as a conduit between you and the ghosts. This could make you more susceptible to their presence.

I Used my EVP Machine!

 by Bobby Elgee; Sights Unseen Paranormal 

Today, I used my EVP machine and it recorded a ghost's voice. I also utilized my Ghost Image Capture Device to take a picture of a ghost. Another investigator used an Electric Detector that picks up spirit energy. I also used my Indoor Battery-Powered Illuminator--fancily called 'a torch' by our friends across the pond--to light up some ghosts in a dark room. We also used an interesting invention, a Television Spirit Capture Device, which records video of dead people. Finally, we analyzed all this research data on a computer that is specifically set up with programs--like Photoshop and Itunes--that help to find ghosts. 

Does the above paragraph sound as asinine and ignorant to you as it does to me? Interestingly enough, there are ghost hunting teams that use language similar to what I've typed above. To me, reading a paragraph like this makes a couple of things painfully obvious: 

1. The person writing it has absolutely no technical expertise whatsoever. 

2. They aren't even coming close to practicing debunking. For people like this, everything is a ghost. 

Sorry, for venting...the moral to this story is KNOW YOUR EQUIPMENT. I have a lot to learn, that's why I do research, read my owner's manuals, and depend on experts and consultants to help me research potential evidence. 

None of the technology used in ghost hunting was originally designed to find ghosts. Be accurate in your description of the equipment you use. Know what it was originally designed for, and the theory behind using it to detect possibly paranormal events. 

Otherwise, you risk looking like a fool. Not sure about you, but I'm enough of a goof ball as it is, so I like to cover all my bases. 

Now, you'll have to excuse me because my Electoplasma Initiator/Personal Massager is ringing.

 

A Personal Mind Power Revelation

Mind machines, mind power, the mind matter phenomenon, the law of attraction, the field, the matrix, the force, the power of intention, the quantum mind, brain plasticity, whole brain integration, hemispheric synchronisation, the subconscious, the collective unconscious, the third eye, altered states, meditation, prayer, paranormal, mystical experiences, PSI….

A query into any of the above subjects will provide reams of data, opinions, and public debate intended to shed light on a subject that by its very nature thus defies public revelation. I have studied all of these subjects over the years in a bid to understand the full potential of my own nature and with every new understanding I have continually refined my efforts towards achieving what I’ve crudely been describing as mastery over my mind, or mind power.

With every process aimed at mastering a skill, there are stages of development followed by plateaus where it seems no progress is being made. And then, usually when you least expect it, another shift occurs and your commitment to the process is reinvigorated pushing you on to progress further. This pattern continues for as long as you keep with the process, until eventually something different happens. Your understanding reaches a critical mass, you experience a seismic shift, developmentally, you experience a quantum leap, placing you at the threshold of your desired mastery.

So far for me the stages that have played a part in developing my own mind’s power look roughly like this:

• As a child I had an awareness that there was more to me than what my sensory systems could reveal
• I acquired a faith in an organised religion
• Experienced spontaneous mystical, transcendental experiences
• Entered a dark night of the soul, existential angst
• Lost my faith
• Experimented with drugs
• Explored various world religions
• Became and ‘accidental’ practitioner of self designed occult practices
• Inadvertently practiced ‘dark magic’ bringing me to literally death’s door
• Realised the ‘dark magic’ was a misuse of my mind and that my mind had far more power than I ever realised
• Being fearful of the power I had realised I ‘shut down’
• Entered another dark night of the soul
• Woke up to the realisation that I had to make my mind’s power work for me – because my life wasn’t, but how?
• Conducted research on how to harness my mind’s potential
• A flow of synchronicities led me to various materials and mind machine systems
• Attempted to establish myself in self designed technique of meditative practice
• Used technologies to change my brainwave states
• Practised sending out love to ’the universe’ while endeavouring to stop all judgement
• Learnt a proper meditation technique: Vipassana, and developed a daily practice
• Experienced an increase in synchronicities, psychic phenomenon, manifestations, mystical experiences (this is ongoing)
• Realised increased mind control: more calm, peace, happiness
• Continued to utilise mind systems: binaural beats, rapid data transfer, Solfreggio frequencies …
• Shared my gained knowledge with those interested in aim of being of service and help
• Began serving at a Vipassana meditation centre to help others learn the technique
• Experienced a seismic mind shift

With hindsight, it is easy to see that I have always been travelling down a path towards enlightenment. A path, I believe we are all in fact destined to journey at some point.

In my own case, I have been quite caught up in what perhaps the sagacious would describe as ‘mind playing’, a realised ability to experience increased synchronicities, paranormal, mystical experiences, manifestations, prophetic dreams and so forth. Believing at times, they were the goal. They continue to be pleasant and they serve as indicators of my ability to attune my mental powers in certain ways, but the goal has, changed.

By developing my mind’s power I have realised a more important goal, understanding that the development of this power is only a step along the way towards something far more important: the purification of my mind.

Only now through direct experience do I understand that by purifying my mind not only am I elevating my vibration, allowing me to be one with higher frequencies of  ‘the field’, causing all manner of good to manifest, but I am, most importantly, developing my ability to experience, at will, my divine being.

We are all divine, we can believe we are, have faith that we are, but to experientially know it is something entirely different. Our minds can be likened to a lens that our consciousness focuses itself through. When our minds are impure, they are out of focus, and we do not see ourselves as we really are. Truth, our true nature is obscured. We are in the dark, which makes us afraid and we act out of this fear, causing all manner of pain and suffering. Rather than masters, we become slaves to our minds and we are blind with it.

As a consequence of striving to develop my mind’s power, the fantastic irony is that while realising evermore of it, I have simultaneously surpassed my desire for it. Understanding that what I really want is to purify it, to be without any wanting, to be liberated from thought, to resonate as joy, harmony, peace, love. To be conscious beyond words.

So to you, who are sincerely endeavouring to develop your true mind’s power, know this, if you don’t already: it is but a step, a quantum step, towards the experiential revelation of your true nature, that you are a divine being.

May all beings in their own right time, know real love, peace and harmony.

Beyond Knowing : Into Being

Way too many people are FEELING that something is afoot: something is on the way and is partially here already. Can we get a witness (independent), signed documentary evidence, and the elimination of the occasional accident? In other words can we VERIFY what's being FELT? Is there scientific and sensory repeatable verification of this FEELING or must we place it in the "paranormal pantry" and move on? 

Some ten years ago, I became interested in what was known as Y2k. I followed it closely and took counsel from people like Gary North who we IN on computer mechanics, etc. In the two years leading up to Y2k, I went from seeing it as a SIX (on a scale of ten), down to a THREE ninety days out. I was in an arena I knew little about and had basically no FEEL for the event.

The concept that's capturing people's attention with the numbers 12.21.2012 is something I do know much about and it is definitely something I FEEL: literally!.

I do not SEE nor FEEL that 2012 is the end of the world; however, I do FEEL that we are in a window (1987-2017) wherein we're passing through a galactic crossing while simultaneously experiencing here on earth an exponential rise in consciousness that is going to forever change LIFE on terra nova. And, that's a very good thing. Yes, there very well could be some bad stuff (the list is voluminous and I've written about them ad nauseum), but without being an Indigo sibling or Star child, one should FEEL the change.

As Francis Hitchings wrote, "How is it that some people perceive hidden things? Deep within our consciousness, something uncontrollably mysterious seems to be going on. We call it paranormal, or psi, and it has tantalized, challenged, and ultimately baffled the finest scholars of the world."  Yes, SOMETHING is going on that for those that will take a little time out to just BE, they will KNOW it. More importantly, it will BE us and therein is a key. We are going back to the Source of our Being: knowingly or not.

It has to come to that! Otherwise, we're toast!  :-)

Best Horror Movies of 2009

2009 wasn’t the best year for horror films but it did give us a successful remake, a new film by a legendary director, a surprise Blair Witch inspired low budget classic, and a film with Nazi zombies—so it wasn’t all bad. Without further ado, the best horror movies of 2009.

My Bloody Valentine 3D

This horror-remake with a 3D twist shocked fans and critics alike by being one of the surprisingly best and most fun horror films of recent memory. The pot is largely the same with a few divergences from the original, but all-in-all the film is faithful to the original and does a great job of using the 3D affects to keep you screaming.

Drag Me to Hell

Director Sam Raimi returned to his horror/comedy roots (see Evil Dead) to direct this fun, horrific romp about a girl who is cursed to Hell. It’s not the scariest horror movie of the year but it was one of the most fun and it was great to see Raimi back to his roots after the Spiderman movies.

Paranormal Activity

The surprise success of the year, this tiny budget film that was released nationwide after a monumental online petition system became one of the most talked about films of the year. Another entry into the shakey-cam horror genre, “Paranormal Activity�? did a good job of attempting to show a house haunting as convincingly as possible. It was a truly scary film that made me cuddle up in my bunk bed in fear.

Dead Snow

Dead Snow is about Nazi Zombies in Sweden. That’s right, Nazi Zombies. This film was one of the dark horse candidates for best horror film pretty much the day the plot was revealed. It takes the subject matter more seriously than you’d think and is a great addition to any zombie-lovers’ collection.

Living Beyond Life

         A subject that is invariably of titillating interest to many is whether there is life after death.  I know there is because of visits I have had with some departed souls who passed on.  I'll tell you about those visits a little further on, but I first want to address the basic question that has puzzled humanity for millennia now, and that is:  Is there really life after death?

          If I had to prove that life continues on after death, I absolutely could not do so.  And therein sits the problem.  Because our usual scientific methods of proof just do not work well here.  For one thing, there is nothing that can be proven physically. The soul-energy that lives on cannot be measured, or put under a microscope, or in any fashion marshaled for analysis. For another thing, that soul-energy no longer exists on this level of three-dimensional existence.  And the knowledge or recognition of other dimensions is beyond the scope of our science.

          I recall reading during the late 1980s, when Ronald Reagan was President and the Star Wars issue was prominently in the news, that scientists were aware of at least seventeen other dimensions out in the universe, and perhaps more; but that Congress elected not to fund the research into this matter. I've never heard anything further on the subject since then. Perhaps one day ? and I hope soon ? we will learn more about such other dimensions. 

          Although there may not be any scientific proof concerning life after death, there has been a lot of research within the realm of parapsychology that does confirm the existence of an afterlife.  And, for sure, many people like me have had paranormal experiences that are beyond question. The salient trait about such experiences is their clarity. After experiencing an encounter with a soul that has passed on, the clear, definitive qualities of that experience leave all doubts very far behind. There is something more real about such an experience than anything we think we know here on this level of existence. 

           One reason for such clarity may be that in a non-physical dimension, the energy level is much higher than in our physical world.  In our physical world, the energy is a whole lot more sluggish than on the non-physical plane.  One likely reason paranormal experiences leave such sharp, clear impressions is because of the higher energy in which they are framed.

           Before I go on, I want to remind the reader that energy is what everything in the universe is all about. Everything in the physical universe that scientists have investigated and gained knowledge of can be broken down to their smallest subatomic parts, and eventually into energy. That's what we are all made of and what everything is made of. Thoughts, too, are forms of energy, as are feelings.

          Getting back to the visits with departed souls, since they are no longer weighed down by a physical body, their energy level is much higher, and of course, they are not limited to time and place as we are. The realm they inhabit is also non-physical. This may be difficult for us to comprehend, because it is simply too much of a strain to conceive of living on a non-physical plane, without a body, without nature, without food and clothing, and without all the other paraphernalia we are used to. Nevertheless, it is so, and it is a much more refined plane of existence.

          One of the first such experiences I had was the day after my mother's funeral. I was home doing some housecleaning that day, because I had neglected that during the many weeks preceding her death when she was lying in the hospital. I used to go see her almost everyday after work, and had no time or appetite for cleaning during that period. So, on a sunny July afternoon, the day after we had laid her to rest, I was busily vacuuming the carpeting, when in the screen door between my living room and the outside balcony, I noticed a face in the screen's weave. It was not a very big face; about the size of a large grapefruit. I quit vacuuming and walked up to it and stared aghast. It was my mother's face. I think I stood frozen in place for quite a while. 

          Her face was so peaceful looking, which was nothing like how she had been while alive. My mother had been a deeply disturbed, angry woman all her life. But in the screen's weave, her face, which, by the way, was very clear to see, appeared peaceful. Her eyes looked closed, although I had a sense that they were not entirely closed, and that she could see me. There was no hair on her head, only her face was there. 

          She stayed in the screen for the entire day, until the sun went down. She did not communicate anything to me in any manner, nor did the expression on her face change during those hours. I interpret her appearance that day as her way of bidding me a final farewell, and letting me know she is okay. A friend told me years later that it was likely her way of saying that she will always be with me. I guess one can interpret such an unusual appearance in a few different ways. 

          I want to mention here that I lived on a hillside back then, in 1976, in an apartment on the second floor. Outside my screen door were no trees or nearby buildings that cast any dappling shadows, which could account for something that might look like a face etched in the screen. In fact, I had a great view out down Overland Avenue in West Los Angeles, clear over to Westwood Village, and the Santa Monica Mountains which were ringed all around that section of Los Angeles. This was clearly her face alone, and not created from any shadows or play of lights.

          Immediately after this experience I did not know what to make of it, or how to explain it. I put the episode out of mind for a long time, and did not discuss it with anyone, not even family. But in recent years I have given it a lot more thought, and decided to bring it out of the dark. It seems obvious to me that she managed to break through some barrier between our two worlds in order to contact me. I don't think this occurs all that often, but it certainly does occur now and then. How close are the non-physical dimensions to our world? I wish I knew. 

            My mother has made a couple more visits since then, but that was the most dramatic, maybe because it was the first one. Also, my father has visited me a couple of times, as have two of my aunts and a former boyfriend who was a suicide. So I have experienced a few such contacts with  the departed, and thus have learned some things about life on the other side.

          One thing I've learned is that no one seems unhappy, except the suicide. I'll discuss him further a little later.  But, although no one seemed unhappy, I did not sense that anyone seemed especially happy either. I just gather they are doing all right. I also gather that the adjustment to whatever world or realm they now inhabit is comfortable. They all seemed as if they feel at home.

          Also, they are not really supposed to make contact with us. The reason I say that is because when one of my aunts visited me, I sensed that her sister, my other aunt, was tugging at her from behind and telling her she is not suppose to get so close to me. I heard that quite clearly during the visit.  However, I know the deceased do visit the living; many people have had such experiences. They can get through to us if they wish, and by the same token, we can reach out and make contact with them, too. But most often, once they leave this earthly existence, they lose any desire to try and reach back to this world.

          The deceased do sometimes hover around at least some of us.  When there is a strong bond or connection between you and someone close to you who has passed on, that soul may choose to remain nearby after death. When this is the case, such a soul is sometimes referred to as a 'guardian spirit.' Such an occurrence generally happens between spouses, a child and a parent, or very close friends or lovers.

          Suicides are in a separate category. They continue to suffer on the other side even more than whatever they were suffering in this life that drove them to suicide. When I had a visit with a former boyfriend who, by the way, I had no contact with for about six years preceding his death, I clearly sensed his guilt, shame, and anger. Especially his anger. He was very unhappy and uncomfortable.  Raymond Moody has written about suicides in his books, Life After Life and The Light Beyond, and mentions that suicides continue to suffer after passing. This may be because they have taken this beautiful gift God has given them, which is life, and flung it back in God's face, so to speak. Consequently, a retribution is exacted for such ingratitude.        

          It is a big mistake to believe that by taking one's own life, you will end all your problems.  Life goes on after this life is finished, and you take with you to the other side all that you are and have become by the end of your stay here on earth.  Contrary to what many people assume, living goes on.
