My family, friends, and the spirit world.
Mar 27th, 2006 at 10:13am
 
When I told my 80-year-old grandpa that I astral project by accident, he didn't really believe in the spirit world at the time. When I told him that he himself has a starry/glittery-looking astral body, that stands up dreaming (literally) while his physical body is asleep, you should have seen the look on his face --- the least thing he would except to hear from me (he says that I'm the most down-to-earth and sane person he knows) would be something like that. He sat speechless and stared into my eyes with a serious/raised eyebrows look when I talked about astral projection to him at his house. He then really started believing in the spirit world after our long talk about astral projection. Infact, he accepts the spirit world as a reality now, just like the birds outside. He said that I literally take all the fear out of death and dying.

Once, when I was talking to my dad about me astral projecting by accident, he said he could "feel" a surge of energy go through near his hands where his wrists are at -- like some unseen spiritual force was doing it (I guess he really does get this feeling somehow). My dad isn't superstitious or dumb, neither. He says he supposedly gets that energy sensation in his wrists whenever I talk about the spirit world or the Astral plane to him.

I once got in trouble in high school for writing on the bathroom walls (I was once a gang member). I got sent to the principals office by security, and I had to talk to a gang discipline officer at the high school in his own medium-sized office, about how gangs are bad, etc. Somehow, after all the anti-gang stuff, for two hours, we started talking about the spirit world, and he had the same surprised look as my grandpa did. He didn't think I'd believe in God. He said most kids at the high school are a little off or dumb -- but not me. He said I'm the most intelligent, sane and down-to-earth guy there, and kept pulling me out of classes weeks later to keep talking to me about my life, life in general, and the spirit world. He said that talking to me is ten times more powerful and a thousand times more worthwhile then all the parasitic school teachers' and students combined.

It's true.

Hey RyanParis (your current picture is radical dude -
no not the babes fool the other one!)

Yo when you project into the 'astral' world are you in sleep or meditation mode? or are you fully conscious that is, is it happening simultaneously while you are awake and doing normal stuff?

Well, kinda normal stuff ... knowing you .. sort of ..

Just a personal opinion here:

A video clip of a woman being punched is not appropriate on this site.  How is such a thing "entertaining" to anyone?  We should all consider what we assume is amusing.  What does it say about our culture?

The medium was right because that was how dad was when he was alive . He did not beleive  ,he does now and i also agree with blink about that picture. God bless juditha

I'm entertained.  I think that's Chuck Norris and it's a clip from Walker Texas Ranger.  If that's the case, she probably is a bad guy and deserves to be punched.  A very funny show. 

If that's not right.  I dunno if I'm entertained or not.

Hey bud,

I agree with you that tv shows are often entertaining, and I recognize this fellow in the picture.  However, I still believe it might be somewhat inappropriate here. 

I personally find the proliferation of pictures and logos distracting me from the content of the posts here so I just thought I would make the observation.

Fair enough.  I admit I didn't get all the way thru the post before I got distracted onto the clip!  I guess the individual poster must determine if they mind overshadowing their own post with their signature pics and clips.  Also, the poster risks the various interpretations conveying meaning not intended.  Interesting point you make.

Yes that picture is awful, bad, distressing, inappropriate, unnecessary, horrifying trash.

Unless you are sending a sublime message that you are either a) a women abuser b) you are being abused c) you dont like woman d) you are an anti-abuse activist ...  i'd hate to think its just for the fun of it - that aint fun.

tell us ... im worried!

my picture is of Orion - it does look better bigger - lol.  Any objections though and i'll consider removing it.  Personally, i enjoy the graphics here it gives a sense of identity and colour.

But not RyanParis's ... awful, bad, distressing, inappropriate .....



The only reason people are distracted by this is that it involves a female.  Because she's flailing about, it's assumed she's helpless and weak.  Because Chuck wacks her one (a backfist punch, I believe - very effective in close quarters), it triggers a gut reaction that he's in the wrong.

Some co-workers and I stopped to help a woman getting kicked by a guy on the street once.  He cooperated, stopped, and waited for police.  Turns out he was beating her up because she snuck up behind him and hit him over the head with a baseball bat.  Most people don't deserve to get beat up, but some people embrace a violent life, and they get what they give.  Karma of some sort?  I dunno, but females aren't weak, and I doubt RP's graphic would get nearly as much scrutiny if Chuck clobbered some dude.  And bear in mind people, it's a TV show - it might be an inappropriate distraction here, but it ain't real.

Violence is violence and it has no place here on this forum.

Actually, Bud, I do think I would be just as distracted by a video of a man hitting a man.  It really doesn't make any difference for me.  It is the graphic visual image which is distracting and not really relevant to any post here.  

Certainly it could be argued that such an image represents only a point in a range of expression here, and that there are conversations here which can take a negative spin sometimes, and I myself have participated in those at times without being conscious and aware.  

Perhaps it is simply helpful to be conscious and aware, and that is one of the gifts we receive here.

I misunderstood your original post, or perhaps it does make a difference.  To make your indifference clear in the future, I suggest substituting a gender neutral term for "woman."  However, the average American person takes greater offense at hitting a woman versus a man.  (myself included, even though I don't think women are weak)

I think the important thing, Bud, is that the issue is violence in any form, not who the perpetrator is, as Mairlyn has stated.  

We can all get sidetracked by nuances of meaning but it is obvious that you and everyone else knows what has been observed here.  I would not change my original statement.  If it was a child being punched I would say "child" and if it was a man being punched I would say "man" because, after all, we are all human beings.  

Why is it important to know who the villain is when violence appears in our world?  There is no villain...there is only the bad dream from which we as a species need to AWAKEN.

RyanParis,
Your last few posts just blow me away--thanks so much for sharing those! You've had some amazing spiritual experiences. And now to hear that your dad, grandfather, and even a guidance counsellor have shared your insights is even better. Thanks, RP, you made my day!
