Hi AlarmClock,

Is there any kind of 'mystical' Christian experience that you believe is valid?  If so, what determines that experience's validity?

Alarm Clock,

I just read through this thread quickly and would appreciate clarification on some of your key points. 
What is your perspective on these 5 questions?

(1) Do you believe that the Bible teaches that Satan is a fallen angel referred to in Isaiah 14:12 as "Lucifer?"

(2) Do you believe that all OBEs and astral exploration could well be tainted by contacts who are in fact demonic impersonators?

(3) Do you believe that deliberate OBE exploration of astral planes is therefore inappropriate or at least dangerous?

(4) Do you believe that Christian OBEs are safe and appropriate because Christ will protect true believers?
Or do you believe that active deliberate exploration of spiritual dimensions is wrong for Christians? 

(5) What about OBEs experienced during NDEs?  Do you believe that the Being of Light encountered in NDEs may well always be a demonic impersonator?  Or do you at least believe Christian claims that they have encountered Christ as a Being of Light during their NDE? 

What issues did you hope or expect members of this forum to address in response to your thread?  Have your expectations been satisified?

Alarmclock,

You quote so I shall quote Smiley

"When you trust yourself then you will trust your own dreams and interpretations-and these will lead you to greater self-understanding. Your beliefs of good and evil will become much more clear to you, and you will no longer need to project repressed tendencies out upon others in exaggerated fashion."  - Seth (Jane Roberts)

I had an old forman who I hated,and so did all the people in the plant where I worked.after he died,I became very spiritual,so I gave him love and forgiveness.A short time after,as I was laying on my bed watching t.v,I felt the pressure of a hand on my shoulder,and at the same time a light in the corner of my eye.I looked over and saw his face and he was smiling as if to thank me for foregiving him.explane that.George

Hmmmm....spent this past half hour scanning this debate, and I guess I will take from it that Alarm Clock is saying "Be Careful", which I will interpret for myself as "be conscious and deliberate as you explore, to avoid unhelpful detours from your path".  How's that?

Hi Everybody! It seems that AlarmClock has disappeared since Don posted his reply to him! Are the two connected in some way??? Far Fundamentalist Christian Right, versus Moderate Liberal Christian, in their physical awareness-(Spiritual)senses!?(Teacher and student perhaps?)....Maybe just to gain our ears, eyes, and conscious attention to their flawed belief systems!! Don's reply to him was rather cold-warm! Probably to give his(alarmclock)voice-written power(christian thought, through flawed-false ancient worded scripts, and intellectual and modern religious subterfuge!)more subtle and believable attention. Which it did to you Guys!!! Tell them(AlarmClock)to to go to the Islamic sites and Forums, which is the fastest growing religion in the world today!!! And preach their garbage there!! They wont! They are cowards! Regards. Carl and Family. PS. These people(Alarm Clock)will try to pull unconditional love out of your hearts, if you respect, or support, or wish peace on other religious belief systems. It's their hidden agenda! I know! I was one of them! They lie constantly on how they love and pray for everybody that does not know Jesus! They themselves don't know Jesus, nearly 99% of them. It's just a phony-pathetic 'Get out of Hell' card for them! The vast majority...99%...Regards. Carl & Family

I definitely believe Don and Alarm Clock are two different people. I don't believe Don would be deceptive in the way you suggest.

hi my favorite colour is purple and when i told this medium she said that the reason i see this as my favorite colour is because the colour purple means you love god,i felt good after that.

i always loved the story of jesus where he helps the pheonecian woman because her faith was so strong in the beleif that he was the son of god and thats why he helped her,the disciples were not very pleased with jesus at that moment as at that time they thought that jesus should only help the jewish people but i breleive on that day he did this,he was showing that his father was the father of all nations.

god jesus and the holy spirit are there for all of us who truly beleive and accept them in their hearts,god loves us all,we just got to learn to love each other.

Jay, Could it be that you are missing the true message? That is the message about judgment, love, compassion. To name some of the parts if it. As confusing as it may be for a person indoctrinated in contemporary religious beliefs, there are many of us here who dont need or want the type of saving you have in mind. Thanks but no thanks. Many of us are just fine. We have found our God. When I look at all of the evil caused by this book you seem so found of quoting, and how much evil and hate has been brought onto this earth from many who quote its words,.. I think I will stick to my God. Your book, and many of the beliefs it has spawned, seems just to messed up to me.

Carl,

I know nothing about Jay (Alarm Clock) and am confused about the basis of his fear that astral exploration is dangerous.  I wanted him to clarify his position before expressing my disagreements. 

I liken astral exploration to early efforts to reach the South Pole.  Yes, this exploration could be dangerous, but the benefits of such an achievement made the risks worthwhile.  Also, despite Swedenborg's warnings about deceptive spirits, safeguards (e.g. prayers for protection) can be taken which make astral exploration worth the risk.  I oppose playing with Ouija Boards, not astral exploration.  I'm still hoping for breathroughs in verification that make insights from astral travel a life-changing blessing to humanity.

Although Alarmclock's name was clever (waking people up by sounding the alarm), I never thought Don and he were connected. 

There is a great difference in their writing and stated beliefs.  That kind of subterfuge would be unworthy of Don.  So I don't think and never did that it is a case of an agenda/plot.

I think Alarmclock left because the site was not for him.  He sent his warning, and may have felt assailed by a counter view.  In fairness, Alarmclock appeared fairly set in his beliefs as well.

People either on earth or in the afterlife gravitate toward others of a like mind/philosophy.
