I was reading Recoverer's description of using the 5 senses out there and doing a comparison evaluation. I like the way we say here, that these are nonphysical senses.
So naturally they would be different. to reconcile that a bit, I like to think of nonphysical senses as extending of the 5 known senses. then I can take that thought a little further, to say my I/there has extended "ME"
along with those 5 senses in physicality, and my nonphysical senses are real in that case, because the chicken was there before the egg was.
First, my experiences as compared to Monroe's description in Ultimate Journey: Monroe used every nonphysical sense out there; he even walked barefoot in grass, and tasted a maple leaf to see if it was real. It was real. as a matter of fact in the park, sounds were clearer, that of birds, grass was greener (oh dear! this seems like a pun!)
people spoke and actually made sense, (logic was working) He could smell everything, like loam beneath his feet, vision was clear, so that takes care of all the 5 senses working.
As well the folks he met noticed that there was something different about him; you're still in a physical body, aren't you? they asked.
We don't get many of your sort here they explained.
Rec, I've personally used all 5 senses out there, but usually not all 5 at once, like Monroe has achieved. He had been 30 years at it, so I think I can catch up! although it's not a goal as such. I'm happy where I'm at on the scale, because I can see I am also creating those excursions by using the imagination.
Imagination is very powerful tool. In the beginning this is what we use. what is the imagination? It is to wonder of possibilities of reality manifestation. pictures flit by. We wonder. We are naturally curious people. Wondering about possibilities has even propelled me from my own body to seek answers, to a full blown obe.
as far as the exchange of energy fields out there, we call it here having sex. It is no big deal out there and is often no more than hugging somebody as a symbol of what took place in a visual sense.
The emotions are exchanged. GP calls it releasing his charge. thank you GP, that clarifies for me! Read his book Eternity, and how to enjoy it.
I have felt flesh and blood out there, not in relationship to what is termed sexual, I was doing a retrieval and leaning against her leg when I felt the solidity and the warm of flesh and it was extraordinary to awaken me that this was real. I had asked my I/there to help me understand retrievals were real.
It is not always necessary to employ all of the 5 senses out there in order to do a retrieval or any type of exploration, you may consider your mind, or your astral body, or your awareness is "partially extended to the circumstance where you can aide another, who's body is not in your location.
This they call absent healing as well.
My personal gift, which has shocked me to the reality of other dimensions of consciousness is my sense of sound, called clairaudience within esoteric communities. It is, at times, a curse.
because it shocks my nervous system to awareness, like if you're quietly going about your business and suddenly someone turns on the radio real loud. it would be unnerving.
then it requires much change in one's belief system, is why I called it a curse. I learned to turn it off and on at will, now it's not a curse.
There's a point, a bridge to cross. We are all headed that direction, to cross the bridge between what is real and what is the world where we lived within our limited belief systems.
The possibilities for expansion of our minds, in a natural, evolving way then become unlimited and we find ourselves related to those who have already accomplished the crossing of this bridge.
It starts with the simple premise, we are so much more than our bodies, and the particular belief systems we now cling on to, and in that case we become very brave, taking more risks to expand those nonphysical senses.
Now, go see what out there, and report back! love you all
