Yay, we got a live one here, Vanayssa wants to meet me/us whoever shows or participates at the crystal on Saturday.

I suggest a trip to the crystal and if we see others there we decide to go to focus 27 the park afterwards...but don't want to be leading you on, we just need some basic groundworks to get together on PE's. my opinion. it helps if you think you may be there to sign up on this thread your name and "count me in" something like that, so I'll be able to keep you in mind and may pick up something for you. dont know. no promises. use your imagination!  its not just a hat rack you guys! smile.

I shall be anticipating to join you there. all welcome to experiment/explore, never know what will turn up for us as we have helpers in these things you know.

any newbies feel free to gaze upon a picture of the crystal for a reference point.

I will be there,,,wouldn't miss it. love, blink

Sure, I need some direction to my explorations rather than just randomly ending up somewhere so I will take advantage of this.  I'll do my best to give a hint about myself.  I just need to get myself calm enough...  ;)

Σd

I'll also give it a go Alysia and crawl out of my cave in the name of science!  So this Saturday 2nd (yo a Full Moon time as well - Moon in Leo)  From what I've read from your posts before  - time doesn't matter although mine will be around bed time (mind you also like a kip at midday  :D) or .. while i'm cleaning the house so I might have my vacum cleaner with me!! But I'll give it a go and report back on Monday.

I'll be there too, and hope I can find the crystal...who took the photograph over there? (joke...I think.) Vanayssa

Excellent Auggie dear or Caryn. one of these days I'll find out what Augoeideian means and maybe I can find you better that way :)
We have five total...nine to 12 seems like a good number just on a hunch so thanks y'all taking an interest, this might even be fun.
I'll be skirting for Blink's magnetic poetry, Steve's sponge like capacity for absorption and condensation of the intention, Auggie's ability to bring ancient wisdom into modern wisdom, Vanayssa's leaping ability into adventure and I hope I'm not caught sleeping thru the whole thing!
you're right the time doesn't matter as all the trips are held in the same place by guides, like a stew or something, they're held and released at the right time through the pen by those invisible gatekeeper rogues I been hearing about. :)
Vanayssa, where is your signature? this is your baby so let me see if you're there in writing.

a little meandering about the time grid thing..I been finding more folks finding the time grid lines...the future, present and past have intersections out there..these are like real currents that awareness rides. if u ever felt yourself either riding it or sitting stationary on a time line while images unfurl, you'll know what I'm talking about that time doesn't become an important issue in these things.
theres always that little doubt that if u don't show up on time you missed the boat again, don't think that way anybody...just use Saturday as the day to show sometime within that 24 hour space, because space is also location of consciousness to those helping us.

think of time plus space plus distance as one thing at the grid lines out there which enable our connections to be made.

my only advice is ask for help. perhaps of your higher self as we all put a drop in the bucket here..he he..are we all wet?  ok, bad pun I know. love to all, alysia
Here's Auggie on Saturday

oh there you are! Romain took this particular picture. I hear there are two such crystals at TMI, I believe they are the largest known crystals in the world.

have also heard crystals were used during Atlanta to propel their vehicles and/or to increase magnification/resonance of the power of thought/intention although for the life of me it just looks like a rock...
well, I have an open mind. welcome to your thread Vanayssa and I hope we bear some fruit here for all of us. love, alysia

Greetings,

Here's one more!
see you there, I hope!

Bets

Interesting experience this morning:  As I was contemplating the crystal, I seemed to semi-consciously create it as a part of a floating-in-air, circular tower colored in gold (but looking more like brass) and with guard rails around the structure.  I saw this quite clearly in the mind-eye.  So, I've gotten a hit of sorts.  I might say the tower platform is about 50 feet in diameter.

Signed, Σd

business is booming, we have Bets and Dude interested and Dude has questions. as a matter of fact aren't we all just walking question marks? :D

Just remember the vision of curiosity Bruce describes:

we was all like this cloud thing, right, so we were basically curious to be sniffing the Earth's atmosphere and be born in her bosom...most curious planet..hmmm..should we have just floated on by? ::)  nah, we were too curious...then home station kept asking, where in the heck is that scouting party broke offa me? and the overseers and harvestors reported back the curiosity cloud got themselves grounded like pigs in the mud, they did. let a couple thousand centuries go by after they squander all fortunes then we'll see about retrieving them. man, they sure do know how to multiply and I hope that fruit taste good.

Dude I don't know what to tell you about partnered explorations except that it's easier to learn with just one partner, one on one, a few experiments that way because its a matter of trust and I'm sure none of us trust one another as far as we can throw one another, so you'll have to trust higher self in a group exploration situation. but you seem to be a natural.

Ok, heres a signpost. look for a wide expanse of green because both TMI and the park have that green going on. check out the benches in the park, they have several varieties of bench and walks....look for details wherever you end up. even if you see a note on the ground or a worm crawling by...check it out, write it down.

lol. I was doing a PE once here and saw some shirtless fellow walk by who started waving his arms around frantically. not what I expected to see, but was the right thing. came home to this thread and one of the explorers said the shirtless guy was him.
so you just never know what you're going to see, but the planners I think have an idea what is right for each person to pick up on and simply share here, no matter how trivial and meaningless it may seem at first.

as a further focus it helps me to visualize  a group standing around the crystal, to get things cranking, as I hear the crystal enhances visualization practices.

keep in mind the little finger bending exercise mental concept: a state of mind, just before you're going to employ an intention or action, like poised and waiting..the eternal now moment. and remember a failed experiment is never a failure because it acts to bring you that much closer to a successful experiment.

lol. and remember the little choo choo train that could. we're all children here playing. love, alysia

there is a tower platform? I've never been to TMI except in my head but I have enough imagination so I don't need reality :D

thats good. we need more graphics like this Steve. my opinion there is an astral counterpart of TMI u are plugging into and thats the floating part.

I'll see if I can branch off from my ego trips for a partnered trip :-) !

Yeah, the tower platform is the highest part where you can stand if it were following phsycial world rules.  in addition, I do believe the bottom of the tower has a bell curve and creates a point at the bottom like the steeple on an Indian Temple (only it is upside-down) to show that the tower actually floats.

I think a sketch of it would help so I will draw one.

YAY!!!  I'm in!!  I've been missing these lately and thinking we really need to do this again!

And..I have a new hobby..I'll bring some "samples" along..see if y'all can pick up on it.. ;)

oh good, with Shirl, Spooky and if Dude officially confirms his participation we have nine people and it's only tuesday, we may get twice that number which pumps up the action.

while we're there I have a request for saturday that we ask to aid the powers that work towards peace for the world just as we are holding hands visually and before we fly off to the park area of focus 27. this will unify our project for the highest good to be allowing. if anyone can think of an affirmation or a good thing to happen, drop a note into the crystal in you imaginative process and leave it there to do it's work before scouting for the park.

for the newbies, we're going to think of focus 27 as a location in consciousness; the same at TMI, although TMI is an actual physical location in Virginia of the Monroe Institute to study human consciousness and brain sync aids. going there bypasses the lower astral worlds where we could get waylaid or distracted by grid noises. (lot going on in the lower astral, it's quieter on focus 27)
hope I said that right.  

Spooky! hi!! http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/wave.gif
been waiting for you since yesterday. Ego trips- Har!! when I get there I'll be expecting a good joke to hear. Shirley, hey lady you brighten up the darkest room, I can't wait to see what you're up to! :D

now I remember the tower..does or did it serve a function? or just a perch to view the expanse? thanks Steve I'd love a picture.

one more thing since u guys have my motor humming...Dude was asking for guidelines when he's the one should be telling me how to do it actually...

but this just came to me today that "imagination is the forerunner of reality."

I don't think I need to elaborate on that..so I need a break anyway from board hog activities. :)

I think I'll give it a try.

I'm a "partial"  newbie.  OBE stuff is not new for me, but the way I'm praticing right now (the way Bruce teaches)  is quite new for me.  

It will be a nice practice!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/SteveEDUgraff/Continued/Crystowr.jpg
A stick figure is there to provide a rough idea of the scale I imagined it at.  The accuracy of the shape is questionable but this gives the fundamentals of what I saw.  The steeple might have been a more fatter shape rather than a funnel.  The background was pitch black and the structure was seen as if hovering above it.

This is my official confirmation.  

I work until 8 pm, so when I get off I'll be ready to rock and roll!  

oh there u r Dude, ok, this is getting cooler. glad to have you phantasyMan, we'll take whatever you dish out.

After Saturday, say starting on Sunday we'll relay our separate journies to a new topic thread with the date at the top for future references.

yes, Dude 8 or 9 pm is good. like I said, time is of to consequence when you have large groups. if u just have one partner you can be much more specific and it becomes a different sort of journey then, almost like say, bi location, but we're not doing that kind of thing in a group. phasing is to shut your eyes and be there with whatever pops up.

obes mostly happens in body asleep thing...imaginative doorway entrances can lead to some instant results and you get to be wide awake.

so thanks for a great group, I never expected it. love, alysia

Steve, that's a remarkable tower, I'm really going to try to find it now!

lol Alysia the picture of the vacum cleaner!!  Thanks for organising this - hope I make it  :D  It is a great number of people - maybe the Park needs to be reserved for the function!  lol kidding I'm sure everyone is welcome.

augoeideian means - the risen body of Christ or the light body of Christ.  It's a name i aspire too.  :)

Quite a pic Steve - does that mean we get ice-creams on the day! kidding again.

ok Caryn thanks for the meaning of the name, I see now calling u Auggie is out of the question, thanks for putting up with me. thanks for making this a relaxed thing for us here, people tend to get on edge with these PE's and that defeats the purpose.

now watch since I said that somebody's going to post that they are always relaxed on their journeys, never get uptight and tell us exactly whats coming down the pike... :D can't wait!
oh yes we have the place to ourselves over there, no reservations needed...somebody bring an expresso machine please....love to all http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/spiritvideo/Alysia/myspace2/myspace3/worm.gif

I am predicting that this place will fuse together all of our intetions and our focused thoughs on it will make it easier and easier to find.  Also, let me get to work on that ice cream stand since I like ice cream too.[smiley=laugh.gif]

Edit:  Also, please feel free to see my account of a retrieval in the retrieval section.  I am betting that this activity has invoked it.

Hello everybody,

I would just love to be a part of this group trip on Sat. I don't have much experience though, not under my control anyway. Sometimes I just get wisked away. It is spectacular but a bit unnerving without notice. I would love some sort of control but I think I might be trying to hard. Any tips on not trying to hard would be of great help. I have bruce's books 1 and 2. I have just started book 1. Could there be a reference in those books? Thanks in advance.

If you don't think a novice would hinder the effort I am eager.

Oh by the way I have been reading the posts here for about a month or more and I have to say that this seems like a great group of people. I look forward to getting to know each of you.   Stacy

Alysia  - you can call me anything which suits you - i donna mind!  mind you Auggie sounds like my great great great aunt who wears thick wollen stocks and thermal underwear  :D  Ah Alysia, thank you for putting up with me xXx

I see I got the date wrong for Saturday its the 3rd and the Full Moon is Friday (silly me my mind went walking for a bit - hey mind come back lol)

Reckon we should start focusing now hey (erm .. that's forget vacum cleaners and ice-creams)

Great stuff!

welcome aboard DaisyStacy!
if u haven't noticed we're all novices, pay no attention to any blusterings here that we're anything more than perfect explorers..such term to mean experimenting with our consciousness to expand it.
hey you guys look what she said about us...a great group of people, and that she looks forward to getting to know us...this is exactly the attitude we want here, and what will yield up some fruit here, notice I did not say fruitcake, I said fruit and I'm looking forward to getting to know you too Daisy.
Tips:
hmmm. you know Daisy I'm not sure what tips I have. Maybe someone can help us out. It seems what you say, that you've had some journeys but it feels like you're being kidnapped...ah...yes...I know the feeling.
well, here's what my guides said about that feeling once: "gently offer nonresistance."
In order to offer nonresistance I would have to feel safe first. but the irony of that going with the flow thing is that the first couple of run thru's are going to feel like you're not in control and you need more experiences like this to get your bearings in order to feel safe.

at first we are seeking our unlimited beings by being objective oriented, then the way I see it when we get on the other side permanently the objectivity we've learned here creates an either happy subjective environment or an unhappy subjective environment on the other side of tomorrow.

so the objective is to discover "more of you" in these explorations.
Tip number two: ask for assistance of nonphysicals who have the highest good in mind and that u won't accept less than this.
Tip: don't put any trips on yourself to perform, if something happens, cool, if not, maybe next time.
Tip: Visualize yourself as a member here, as part of us, well, if you're here, then must be a reason.
Tip: have paper and pencil ready, or a tape recorder; this lets those helpers I was talking about know you are deadly serious.
Tip: ask if u can help somebody with what is given, maybe they need to hear something that is trivial to you, but meaningful to them.
Tip: ask whether you are visual or auditory person, or what might be your nonphysical sense apparatus to utilize on these explorations.

Not sure whether Bruce's first two books will talk about partnered exloration to any extent, check the index or the back of the book for references and maybe you can go to resources at the top here and browse for ideas.

one more tip, on the other side we can appear as twinkling orbs; so if you see this, be sure to write down everything you see as it can lead you into greater experiences if you show you're serious to take note of every detail.
let yourself be a little kid with imagination; this looks like the only place on earth we're allowed to do that.

ok Caryn, forget the vacuum cleaner but the ice cream stays! frap please, choc. we are allowed to eat on the other side as its part of a relaxed socialization process in the imagination.
see y'll soon, but don't know what I will see....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/spiritvideo/Alysia/myspace2/jackInBox.jpg

laffingrain,

Thank you for the warm welcome. Kidnapped...lol...that is perfect, not unpleasant but kidnapped just the same. lol thanks I needed a giggle.

I will take your tips and try them out one by one and let you know of my progress. One tip hit a direct cord and I recognized it to be true. I have performance anxiety. Perhaps seeing that now I can relax and just let it happen.

I will make sure to record everything I can no mater how trival it may seem to me it may have some importance to one of you which in turn should help us all grow. Great idea on the tape recorder as sometimes my hands are shaking so hard I can't write very easily.  I am so excited!

thanks again,   DaisyStacy
PS. I like the way you rename people...such a personal touch.

Greetings,

This is going to be exciting, particularly with so many new folks, as well as  previous participants !
I've been concerned about how to recognize everyone and so last night may have been given a preview. Briefly saw a fast-moving vertical swish with lines on it, sort of like a film that had become scratched. But it slowed a couple of times to reveal just faces--a blonde young woman, a guy with a crown on his head (?!), neither of whom I've seen before,  and a fellow with a blues-harp who may have been Spooky but his hair was cut or shorn down to about as short as it could be and still be hair (don't know name of that style cut.)

I may ask for more help or a slower film than just glimpses before the big event.  :)  I'm looking forward to meeting you all !

Steve ED-- On the Monroe TMI website there is a photo of an observation tower or high deck, square and redwood in harmony with the rest of the buildings there. Perhaps the architect sensed the same tower you saw but then had to interpret it in the materials and style at hand.  Your thought-form is more exciting!

Bets

was thinking, we will all see different things regarding TMI and focus 27 and the park and that's ok, as we all have these different interpretors so I'd be suprised if anything does match up exactly the same insofar as objects and landscapes go. btw, the park has everything; hospitals, buildings, records, court rooms, reception buildings..the limits are in your imaginations.

remember we are working with conceptionalization, not with actual physical objects as they exist in the location of TMI or focus 27, which is just a number after all.

However, we occassionally get a literal image going on between us here and there. the idea is to come back with information about YOU. Not about TMI or the park specifically or necessarily, and of course we might get something about each other which is like icing on the cake as I'm sure you are all a fun bunch I'd like to know better.

just for fun and I don't know if TMI has glass doors, but I saw this once, like a back or a side door to a large like mingling room. I've never been there.
I also saw a huge crowd sitting on the lawn once, like cross legged and casual under the sky. Bruce was on the edge talking to a few people. I was stuck like standing at attention between two buildings. I think this was a symbol of the two forums I was active on which are related. so see how a building can symbolize a forum?

Bets, the speed of the movement may be a precognition of events. have to wait and see.
and the film with scratches on it is like we are scratching the surface? :)

the great thing about this PE is we're all thinking the same intentions and I think there's power in that, to find a group that is together on the same idea. should yield something for somebody somehow.

see ya on Sunday for sure, love, alysia

Thanks Betson, I will go check out that picture.

Anyway, I found out what is making things so difficult for me.  I was depleted of "PUL" energy and needed a recharge so I started playing around with thoughts.  I sent out this message, "Nancy and Bob Monroe, I could use some energy from you to help me get going."  I was sending out pictures of me acting like I am thirsting for water but want PUL instead, as if I was a PUL vampire.  ;D  Eventually, the pictures started comming in and I even got the vibes in the body.  I sent the PUL back, causing it to amplify in me, and that started loosening me from my "body vehicle" and got me close to an OBE state.  I did not make it out completely but I have (re)discovered a technique to get my reserves recharged.  I would recommed it to all of you who's imagination feels depleted or they feel "cut off".  Just ask for PUL energy from any source you trust and try sending some back as well.

It also goes to show how teamwork can make things a whole lot easier.  Being a loner does have it's restrictions.
Σd  [smiley=engel017.gif]

Edit: Just in case I can not find the picture, can you link me to that picture, Beston?

good thoughts Ed, very very effective. also Bruce suggests to circle the PUL from your feet around to your head and expand it out wider and wider into the universe to see it touching the whole world if you can like a cloud. works good to relax you so you dont have to feel like you have to perform for the group. (defeats the purpose of our exploration to feel anxious)

you can also see the crystal as aiding you to feel PUL.

Greetings,

Woops, the tower is not exactly as I described but it's definitely a tower;
see it at

www.monroeinstitute.com/content.php?content_id=4

Bets

thanks Bets, gorgeous, least we know what we're looking for should it just pop up for us, or we could try the visualization from these pictures. remember folks if you don't see any of this, just let yourself go whereever and know it's the right place. I suggest we write everyone's name down if you're at a loss how to do this exploration. It may help if you try to find persons rather than locations. just a suggestion. I'm hoping everyone participates in some way, small or large to the best of their ability without feeling pressured.
I read also TMI used to be called Whistleridge before the name was changed. :)

hmm Steve is PUL vampire anything like being a board hog? well then I probably know you.

My progress in this Partnered Exploration has been astounding, and believe that people deserve a nice success story to power their curiousity. The vampire thing was just a joke to the Monroes and does not imply that I am robbing somebody of their "PUL".   ;)

What better way to thank Bruce Moen than to report my success in reviving my latent "imagination".  My constant replies are for everyone's benefit and to amplify Bruce's own success story in the most possitive way.

[smiley=engel017.gif]

I knew that Steve. :) I'll go brush up in my comedy class :D

Hi Alysia. Something weird happened to the site when I tried to Post my experience in the PE on Saturday, and the site just went WHUMP and vanished from sight and I couldn't get it back up till this morning. Alan says they had no technical difficulties or anything.  I am looking around here to try to see where everybody is typing in their posts on their results. I can't find anything...I am lost and don't want to type it all in again until I know where it should be posted...sure am confused...did I fall into a parallel reality or something??? Vanayssa

Vanayssa,

It could be that everyone is watching the Super Bowl. This place should be hoppin later on. I to have been wanting to post. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Stacy

OH HO!!! THE SUPERBOWL!! I forgot! That explains it! Thanks, Stacy. Vanayssa
