Know Thyself - The End of Manipulation

[Anthony Hale]

In the spirit of this forum I ask myself...

What actions can I take as an individual in my busy, daily life, to make the world a better place?
The answer will be different for everyone of course.

Here is my list of some of the things I can actually take action on, based on my lifestyle, personality, skill sets, location etc.

1. Take care of my family
2. Support my local community
3. Build my business and take care of my clients with integrity and professionalism.
3. Shop Local as best I can to support local businesses
4. Boycott businesses or corporations that are part of the problem to the best of my ability.
5. Vote even though it seems pointless at times, I've only voted twice in my life 2016 & 2020 and will vote in 2024 for the same candidate, if possible.
6. Share my unique perspective with others. If even one person finds the information useful, at least I have done something. Although if no one were listening
I would still do it, because it's my passion.

For me taking action, that is alignment with the world I want to live in, is like buying a ticket on the train/consensus reality, that is going where I want to go.

So I look at the list above and I think what else can I do.
For myself, not much when it comes to taking action in the outer world.

I'm not interested in becoming a politician.
I don't see the point in writing to my so called "representatives" about the issues at hand.
I'm not someone you will see protesting in the streets.

I’ve already moved to a location far away from large metro areas and created a bubble reality that allows me to take care of my family
in a beautiful environment filled with nature, love and laughter.

Like many of us I have spent quite a bit of time in the rabbit hole, trying to figure out what the hell is going on, on this planet.
There is just so much information to wade through now, so many opinions, so many perspectives, so many agendas, and so many predictions
about "The Future" that just never happen.

One of the realizations I have had, is the greatest power “They” have over humanity is that we believe they have more power than they actually do.
I’m not certain anyone is really in control of "The World", because the question becomes, which world are you referring to?
Clearly we are not all having the same experience, once you turn off the screen.

I have watched others get so caught up in the world out there that they lose their joy. I tell them to turn the screen off, go outside.
I assure you the birds are still singing, the bees are buzzing, oblivious to the mind created madness. That is why I love nature so much.

Over the last few years, I have put my intense researching days behind me. I get it now, even more than ever that the world out there
has less impact on my reality the more I know Who and What I am. Don't look where you don't want to go.

So when it comes to taking action to combat the negativity we see in the world out there, I really can't think of anything more important
than doing the shadow work on myself and the self-inquiry to "Know Thyself". From my perspective this is the most "Practical" thing I can do.
And it has had a tremendous impact on the outer world which is essentially, my life.

For me Knowing thyself is understanding who and what I am, empirically.
The who, is an aspect of my multi-dimensional being, that is referred to as Anthony, the one typing on the keyboard.
Its’ my story, my life, my personal narrative, my unique expression of all that is.
It’s a performance art.

The what, is a multi-dimensional being exploring all that is across the multiverse within simultaneous co existing incarnations.
Which includes the higher self, over souls, all abstract labels really, but it gives our minds a reference point.

How does knowing thyself improve the quality of my daily experience?
Well for me, as my knowledge and understanding increases, the less seriously I take much of the physical reality experience, including myself... mostly myself!
Humility, humor, are my greatest gifts. Laughter is the best medicine. I used to be somebody, but that was way too much work.
Now that I’m nobody, I’m much happier. The egoic monkey mind is a great tool, but it is a horrible master.

If humans truly knew themselves the world would by default, be a much better place.
Imagine a world where individuals understood that they were infinite, multi-dimensional beings that exist, have always existed, and always will.
As there is no such thing as non-existence by its very definition.

That death is simply waking up from the dream called physical reality. We do this every night, all of us to some degree, depending on an individual’s development.
That we have a wide variety of incarnations across the multiverse, in different timelines, dimensions, and life forms.
That no matter what happens nothing can ever stain us, and that whatever ambitions we have, we have plenty of time, because we are the creators of time.

And here is the most important benefit from knowing thyself... You can no longer be Manipulated !

When you know what you are, you no longer fear death. In fact from my experience, physical reality is more death like vibrationally, than our natural infinite nonphysical state.
When you are operating from the state outside of the physical reality matrix, you can see through all of the manipulation here in the clown world, it's incredibly obvious.

Imagine a world of sovereign entities, imagine what we could accomplish. This reality does exist, it's already there, the only change I have to make, is in myself.
My future self is my inspiration, I am puling myself forward to the reality I prefer.

No more projecting of fears, insecurities and baggage on to others.
No more fear of death and lack of abundance.
No more manipulations to siphon energy and power off of others, because they have none of their own.

Know Thyself, it's not a new concept, it's been around forever, literally, and it stands the test of time, and for me it has put an end to anyone being able to
manipulate me, except for my wife of course ;-)

Excellent thread and excellent advice Anthony!
It's great that you have put into practice that what you really believe in, or better: that what You Know.

Having been to Delphi in Greece, "Gnothi Seauton"/"Know Thyself" are no doubt two of the most important words, if not THE two most important words a person should hold dear in my opinion. Delphi as an area - still - sort of exudes that energy, if you are sensitive to it that is.

Hopefully this thread will expand and expand greatly. Thanks!

[grapevine]

Your wonderful post and pictures of your family is a breath of fresh air, Anthony, and a joy to read. Thank you for posting and reminding us that regardless of what is happening "out there", our equilibrium is in our own hands. So glad that you joined the forum and looking forward to getting to know you.:flower:

[Anthony Hale]

Thank you Miller for your kind words.


Thank you Johan, I would agree ;)

[Heart to heart]

Anthony I resonate entirely with all you have to say.
You have found the key to life on this planet!
Live it to the full!
Continue to Love and just Be ❤️

[Pam]

What a beautiful thread. I read your OP, Anthony , and I am so very appreciative of your taking the time to share your life with us. You have such a beautiful soul.

I think you are already manifesting the thing that we are here for. After scrambling around with one belief system after another. Chastising myself for not living up to my expectations, I came to the realization that you seem to have come to. I think we often make this harder than it needs to be. I think I am here to be my authentic self, whatever that is. To look for opportunities to express unconditional love and to feel gratitude for any kindness that I receive. To find the beauty and love in the moment. To appreciate what I have. To share joy, even if that is a simple smile to someone when walking down the road.

It's all the wonderful little things. I got to give a big hug to my neighbors labradoodle. I got to go on a walk and take in every little thing of the natural world. Appreciate the warmth of this day. Thank you for reminding me that I have a choice, I can create a fear based world or I can create a world of little wonders.

With great appreciation,
Pam

So awesome; did you just call it or what? That's meant in a good way. I didn't read 95% of your opening post but the thread title is killer, and I also loved your photos. "Know thyself - The end of manipulation.". It's a meme without a picture. Here's a picture with it: meme (https://i.postimg.cc/j2MvbVNF/image.png)

Thank you for that Heart to Heart :heart:

[thepainterdoug]

Anthony, what a wonderful post, a wonderful offering to all here . Open and honest with great pictures of your family. This is really good medicine for me right now, coming out of the flu , ( remember the flu? lol ) with low energy and a bug up my arse about the world in general.

Anthony, may I ask how and why you came to P Avalon?

Thank you Pam for taking the time to read it and respond. It brings joy in my life
knowing we have connected in some small way.

Yes an attitude of gratitude is a wonderful state to be in.
Life's simple pleasures are the best!

[Anthony Hale]

Thanks Matthew!
I have a brother named Matthew and I love him dearly :inlove:
When I was thinking for a title for the post, I felt the most relevant and important aspect of knowing thyself is that you become a full sovereign being, or more accurately you re-member what you have always been. Most of us come into this world in a state of amnesia.

[Anthony Hale]

Hi Doug and thank you so much for the positive feedback.

The how…
Well I have been a fan of Bill's work since the early days with Project Camelot. Starting in early 2009.
The interviews/voices he shared with us played an important role in the early days of my researching period. Thank you Bill!

In November of 2008 I had a life changing experience. This is what motivated me to start looking for answers, it
was also the catalyst for my decision to move to the location I am in right now, and find a simpler life where quality not quantity of living was my priority.

There was a dark night of soul which ushered in this experience. Suffering is an incredible fertilizer for growth.
Briefly, the experience was essentially an awakening, I literally woke up from the dream called physical reality, I found myself in my realm on the astral plane. In that sense
I was home again in my natural state. With a greatly expanded awareness. What I saw during part of the experience and also one of the main themes of the experience,
was what is happening right now, in the world. I picked up on the energy at that time and where we were headed as a collective, it was like a tidal wave!
The agenda of trying to destroy our sovereign rights, what we put into our bodies more specifically.

As of late shifting to the realm and other dimensions has become quite common place, and the suffering is no more, I have become “lucid” in the dream we call life.
Along the way I then found Project Camelot and have been a lurker for a couple of years, enjoying the conversations. There is no other forum like it.
Now that the work has been done to stabilize our life situation, the family is taken care of, I have a bit more time for one of life’s simple pleasures… sharing.

The why…
To find kindred souls who like myself have gone deeper than most and to share my unique perspective with them. Individuals who are awake enough
to be able have a conversation with, and enjoy hearing their perspective , their actual experiences, beyond beliefs.

And Blessings to you Doug:heart:

Brother Anthony, thank you for joining the forum! I'd like to respond to your excellent post before reading any of the responses, with a clear and inspired mind. I found myself highlighting your post over and over and over again as I began laughing with joy. "I’ve already moved to a location far away from large metro areas and created a bubble reality that allows me to take care of my family in a beautiful environment filled with nature, love and laughter." Yes, same. "One of the realizations I have had, is the greatest power “They” have over humanity is that we believe they have more power than they actually do." Yes, yes, keep it coming. "Over the last few years, I have put my intense researching days behind me. I get it now, even more than ever that the world out there has less impact on my reality the more I know Who and What I am. Don't look where you don't want to go." Beautiful and on point, my research has also abated as more and more I go within and withdraw from the sh!tshow, for the second time in my life (already hit rock bottom - don't ever ask if it can get worse, lol). "So when it comes to taking action to combat the negativity we see in the world out there, I really can't think of anything more important than doing the shadow work on myself and the self-inquiry to "Know Thyself". From my perspective this is the most "Practical" thing I can do. And it has had a tremendous impact on the outer world which is essentially, my life." Again, yes. "It’s a performance art." Love it. "...as my knowledge and understanding increases, the less seriously I take much of the physical reality experience, including myself... mostly myself! Humility, humor, are my greatest gifts. Laughter is the best medicine. I used to be somebody, but that was way too much work. Now that I’m nobody, I’m much happier. The egoic monkey mind is a great tool, but it is a horrible master." So cool to see someone putting my own feelings into words, thank you! "Imagine a world (in which) You can no longer be Manipulated...the only change I have to make, is in myself."

The only thing I have to say to that sh!t is thank you for putting it into words! As I said to someone else recently, "It's a spiritual battle, not a physical one." Go within, know thyself, and leave fear behind.

[Pam]

I came back to add more comments as I find so much wisdom and encouragement on this thread. As my buddy, Raskolnikov, already shared so much of what I was going to say I will say that those dang "dark nights of the soul" are the key here. They are not the end point but working through them ultimately is gold. I feel as though I have completed that process and I will hit another one. That is ok. I believe I can directly correlate how close I am to finishing these sessions of dark nights with the amount of cognitive dissonance I carry. It is not an easy task to break down cognitive dissonance but ultimately, it is what we are here for. That is what allows for the authenticity of self. It is what allows for genuine joy.

At some point it does seem like confirming the madness of this world, the fact that it is an inversion based on lie after lie seems to be enough. I try to remember that nothing can harm me unless I give it that power. That doesn't mean I can't be killed, but losing the fear and victim mentality seem to be key to maximizing this experience. We aren't here to listen to the experts, the authorities or whoever these vague leaders are. I always hold utmost the fact that this is an inversion. It does not mean truth can not be found here but wisdom and discernment are needed and that comes back to the inner work and self honesty.

I would be so interested in hearing about your astral experiences. I have learned so much from others that have had these experiences. I do find understanding the nature of the construct of our reality very helpful. I have left the body but fear drives me back so I learn from others. I do totally understand if you choose not to discuss this as well.

I find your take on this experience so refreshing. We are both from the Pacific Northwest. I live in Sasquatch country in the Olympic Peninsula. Anyway, I am so appreciating anything you have to say. I am so glad you have joined the forum.

Hi Pam, I was excited to see you return and share some more. This is what excites me. This is my passion.
Yes the only power anything has is that which you give it. I love all that you said.

I would love to share some of my nightly journeys into the realm with you. I will be back later with more. :sunny:

[Anthony Hale]

Hi Pam I am back with you to share a bit more about my experiences on the Astral Plane.
This will be more about the experiences as a whole as opposed to a specific experience, which I can share later if you like.

First of all when I use the term Astral Plane, I can easily substitute it with any of the following, Spirit, Non-Physical Reality,
The Realm. These are just words we use to try and describe something we really don't have words for.

I think of universe as an infinite range of frequency domains. Just like a radio, all frequencies exists right now, all around us, all within us. And like a radio
we ( consciousness ) choose to tune into a specific frequency to have a specific type of experience. If you don't like country, switch to rock and roll.

The body mind is essentially a transmitter/receiver. The more you know thyself, the more apt you become in communicating with your higher self, the ultimate navigator
when it comes to exploring the wilderness of materialism. Excitement is your compass, your true north. Your excited about something because it "Resonates" with your frequency.
Higher self uses excitement as a guide. Excitement is a complete tool kit. It’s the driving force and the organizing principal of universe.

More and more frequently, as I go through the process of Re-Awakening from the dream, I shift from physical to non-physical reality. This occurs during my rest period at night
when the spirit can leave the body safe and secure, a mini death, where it can then rejuvenate and heal. My consciousness can then explore the multiverse and all of its frequency domains.

Because Anthony is experiencing an incarnation as a human, the majority of my experiences are related to human life. However there are also many experiences in other dimensions
that have a completely different quality to them.

However the environments I typically explore/experience are very much like earth environments. These I would say are vibrationally just above nonphysical reality, perhaps we can call
it the Template Level Reality. There are incredibly beautiful landscapes, cities, buildings, towns, people, schools/universities if you will. I have also traveled to the moon, (Yes I saw the bases there)
other planets and experiences in various vehicles in space. Some of these vehicles/craft are creations of other beings and civilizations.

I commonly find myself attending classes, sometimes the student, sometimes the teacher. I interact with others individually and also as a group.

During these experiences I am absolutely lucid, and can often return to the exact same locality/environment/interactions, even if I have to get up and use the restroom during the night.
For me, my nights consist of two shifts, lasting about 3-4 hours each. Because of time dilation these experiences are probably very short when measured by local time.
However the experience of them on the astral sometimes feel like much longer intervals.

Many of the experiences feel like I am interacting with other aspects of myself, who have their own unique perspectives and lives. It's a rather unique experience I can only describe
as, feeling like you are inhabiting someone else body, experiencing someone else’s life. While at the same time being completely aware of who I am as Anthony is in this life, simultaneously.

Many of the experiences are not always comfortable. However for me, most are incredibly invigorating, It's like getting an energy burst, I can feel it in my physical body so strongly that sometimes
it takes me out of the experience at which point I re calibrate and go back in.

That being said I always appreciate the cross connections, I feel that I am learning from my other counterparts and family of souls. And they learn from me , this is the way.
I feel that this process, as I become "More" aware of it consciously, greatly accelerates my expansion, growth, on the path to knowing thyself. What I am describing
I feel is something we are all experiencing to a lesser or greater degree, or at the very least is available to everyone, if they are open to it.

I think I will stop there for now, if you’re interested I will share some of these experiences and how they help to expand my perception of reality.

For now I would like to simply say, that for me the veil between physical and nonphysical reality is fading. I enjoy living in my dreams and dreaming in my life.
Life is never easy, it’s a master class, and for me growing up was full of adversity. Coming from a dysfunctional family with violence,addictions and poverty, I was on my own by the time I was 16.
There were times I ate from dumpsters and lived on the street, stealing what I needed to survive.

However I always had a strong connection to source and even through all of it I could always find peace within myself. Now my life feels like a fairy tale, a dream.
Now, I Live the Dream !:heart:

Thank you so much for responding. Before I discuss the OBE, you didn't tell us you started a You tube channel! I subscribed and wrote a comment. There is a zen like quality to the chain of life told in your lovely little story.

I became interested in OBE experiences because I was led in that direction during the bizarre energic stuff that was happening during the Covid debacle. I had time to observe and very strange things were happening to me that did not fit with the paradigm of this reality that I had been taught. I was actually visualizing energy fields and having what I guess you could call paranormal experiences.

I began looking for answers into these energetic fields that were being created through manipulation, primarily by fear. I noticed when I entertained the fear I was joining into a field of fear magnitudes greater than my fear alone. This led me to read Reality Transurfing. Steps I-V by Zeland, Vadim - I began to understand that there are principles in the operation of this reality realm or construct. I love a a good mystery and spent quite a bit of time studying the work of Robert Monroe, founder of hemi-sync and a huge explorer of the construct through OBE.

I had no idea that one could have these experiences. Yes, I know I have left my body on several occasion but I have no control but I found that Robert Monroe, who started having spontaneous OBE's and began to map out the construct was mind boggling, in a sense the nature of this construct of the frequency experience we are sharing. I was absolutely blown away that in the 1970s he was doing controlled experiments with OBE's and volunteers that had been trained in his method. I had used his hemi-sync CD's but didn't know any more about it.

This was a huge paradigm shift for me to begin to understand this, much in the same way that the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto and Water Consciousness along with his photographs of water crystals and how they responded to words (symbols) and emotions could transform the structure of water. That was huge and very exciting.

I have now been very interested the work of OBE explorer Darius Wright who has been charting out the constuct we are experiencing since he was 16. He is particularly interesting in that he has some sort of dyslexia ,I believe ,that doesn't allow him to read and he is not a participant in social media, so he is minimally influenced by the work or belief systems of others but he has been able to walk through his fears and basically continues the work of mapping out this construct and I find it a game changer in understanding this whole crazy situation we are living in. He is wise and humble and shares information that can allow even those of us that haven't mastered OBE's with a far greater understanding of what is happening. I tend to get most of my information through intuition and discernment of others (a long, arduous process-mastering discernment and hopefully wisdom) and empathic traits.

I have also become interested in the many cycles that seem to have have occurred in this realm and the many resets. Much of this information has been destroyed but there are many that seem to be putting pieces together of a more accurate history.

I am endlessly curious so this is just plain fun for me.Kind of like doing a Suduku puzzle. I totally agree and have learned the hard way that it is best "not to look where you don't want to go". That has and continues to be a hard lesson for me, but now, more than ever it seems so important to use discernment in what we expose ourselves to. Particularly as this inversion will have AI in the mix to add to the confusion, thus the clearing out of the shadow to the best of our ability so that we can rely on our own discernment and wisdom will be key, that and relying on community if we are fortunate enough to have that opportunity.

This is go time,at least that is what I strongly intuit. Sovereign self or relying on the "experts and authorites" to tell us what is safe and effective that is our choice, each will have to make. We all know how that works out when we turn our decision making blindly to others. I tend to have a rather docile personality so this has been big challenge but no matter how many times I fall flat on my face I have absolutely no intention of giving up or giving into fear. If I falter, I just get up.

I find it interesting and not surprising that you had a tough childhood. I often feel grateful that my early years and many times later I have made such self destructive choices it is easy for me to do the shadow work. I feel it must be very hard for those that don't have obvious flaws,or led idyllic lives, so in some ways, I am grateful to have messed up so much that I can't convince myself that I am not a portion of the shadow that is merging into the great big collective shadow that is manifesting and will come into full bloom very shortly. At least that seems the likely time line.

I am working on letting go of as many belief systems as possible. I want to leave this experience an open book, ready and willing for another exciting adventure. I do have a very strong feeling that living through this experience may be one of the most challenging and rewarding things our very powerful sparks of consciousness will ever have the opportunity to be a part of. This is the biggie and we are here at the peak moment. I'm not pretending I know any dates but we are winding this particular take of the story if not now, in the very near future.

I don't mean to dominate this thread so I will be very happy to listen to others, I am just so grateful to find person I really feel a connection to in our understanding.

I don't think Casey Claar a beloved member of this forum would mind me giving her an endorsement. Her work with photographing and communicating through a specific crystal is amazing work and I feel like she would be a wonderful asset to the discussion. I will give here a heads up about this thread. You might want to check out her contributions here, she is just amazing.

Wow, that was beautifully done! You should make more, you have a real gift! (And I am now your 3rd subscriber). :sun:

[Delight]

It makes very happy to be able to share your stories of life satisfaction. You describe a beautiful family life and it is awesome. Personally, I am also 'happy" at the moment and because I have no young people to worry about for the future, I am relieved.

Yes, I do look at the future and feel very confused. What I imagine as being the most important actions for a good life are now being plowed over everywhere. Analog skills and being able to have the leisure to develop as as a person are what I experienced and still revere. I have no idea what will happen but I am, grateful to have my life now.

It is not at all interesting to me to explore the astral. Honestly, I seriously distrust the influences coming at us ATM from the astral. There is a serious effort to gather us all into egregores and bubbles. All of a sudden there are so many channelers. If the earth is being terraformed for nonhuman life, the channels should be able to warn. But they do not IMO. It is as if they are just here to mollify our sensibilities (those who HAVE sensibilities that take us beyond the "norm"). I suspect that most astral stuff is dangerously disingenuous.

I am focusing on the here and now and on the ULTIMATE Source ONLY. Life is temporary here but IMO the astral is a place we can be trapped in. Maybe I am mistaken but I will know eventually if I am.

Hi Miller
Thanks for bringing the popcorn... and expressing an interest in hearing about my experiences. It brings me joy.

One of the most profound experiences to date for me, goes even deeper into the idea of Knowing Thyself. Especially into the... What I am.
The awakening I experienced in the fall of 2008 had many components to it. However the beginning of the experience started out like this.

The experience below occurred between 5am-6am local time as I was laying in my bed on the earth plane.
I found myself Waking Up in my bed feeling refreshed, however I quickly realized that the bed and the room were not the same as in my earthly home.
Dreams with dreams, bubbles within bubbles, this is the nature of all that is. There is no end to the within of things.

The feeling I had, was that I had awakened from the dream I called my life, and I was now in my actual reality. As I left the bedroom, I discovered an entire home on the astral plane.
Something I now know as part of my realm. My realm is the reality I have built/created on the template level, just a slight frequency shift above physical reality.
It's a place I now visit frequently and contains an environment that is very similar to my earthly environment, in that it reflects all of my love for the beauty of nature.
I always understood that my earthly life is simple a reflection of my inner life. However lately it's all become more blended, its' simply my eternal existence.

It is a peaceful place with all of the trappings of a home, furnishings, decorations and windows with a lovely view of the outside, with beautiful trees, shrubs, and grass. And a lovely light coming in through the windows. It was more real than anything I had ever felt, up to that date. I was also simultaneously aware of my body still lying in my bed in physical reality. During this experience I was able to open my eyes and go back and forth between the 2 dimensions, it was like I was teaching myself the process of shifting from one reality to another. Something we all do without effort, moment by moment.

There were also other beings there, a woman and a male figure, who during the experience I discovered was my brother, who was killed in a motorcycle accident years earlier.
We were very close and grew up together during some very hard times. His face also exhibited the same qualities as what I share with you below.

As I looked around I soon realized I could project images on the walls of the room, images that would take up the whole wall, and some smaller, I opened up several screens.
Like having multiple computer monitors except much larger, and by pointing my hands to each one I would ask questions, and in full vibrant living color images would start coming in, on all of them simultaneously. The exact details of the information and the types of questions asked have left me for now, there was so much to try and bring back. It was like a data dump.

In one room was a wall with a full length reflective surface, I immediately moved towards it, excited to see what I would look like in this state of consciousness.
I expected to see the face I have known my whole life, but what I saw gave me a rush so strong it affected my physical body, and created a dualistic feeling that spanned
both realties.

And this is where I was able to see more of "What I am" ...
My face was not my face, but a multi face, a face that changed as you looked at it, into many different identities, young, old, dark eyes, blue eyes, different races, different genders
it was like a constantly evolving face. Towards the end of the rotating faces, they seemed to start slowing down. At this point, instead of seeing faces, I was seeing something, very difficult to describe.

I was no longer looking at human faces...
My head was now nothing more than an abstract shape, perhaps polygonal, and I had body parts attached, that were also simply shapes. There were several varieties of these aspects of myself, different colors etc.
It now reminds me of the idea of "Platonic Solids". Although in 2008, I was not aware of that information, consciously. 5 platonic solids, 5, the number for humanity.

I will stop there, regarding that experience, as there were many components to it, that might be more appropriate for another thread, outside of Knowing Thyself.
I still have much to share with these types of experiences, that deal with interacting with loved ones, who have departed, and other beings/races/civilizations/ that dovetails into the Idea of Know Thyself.
If anyone is interested, let me know.

Before I leave, I would like to share a more recent experience, in the last couple of weeks that I had. This experience was filled with some of the most intense feelings of
joy, love and connection to all that is, that I have ever had. At the end of the experience, I slowly opened my eyes as tears ran down my face, tears of joy. With just a touch of longing.

Below is a brief account...
I found myself in the front yard of my property, staring into the beautiful night sky, aside from stars and the milky way, there were all sorts of different ships/crafts flitting in out, phase shifting.
This is what I would call a mixed reality experience. And one of the most common for me.

It's where the environment I find myself in, is essentially identical to my home and property by the lake. However mixed in are aspects from other dimensions, frequency domains.
As I sat watching the night sky a dear family member who had recently departed ( almost 2 years ago) , appeared in the yard under the Walnut Tree. Our favorite spot to play in the grass.
It was night time and I saw him out of the corner of my eye.

Immediately I experienced a rush of love and longing so strong it was almost unbearable if that makes sense. I looked at him and called his name and he came rushing into my arms. After his passing I have, perhaps unconsciously muted my thoughts about him. Even typing here I get teary eyed thinking about him. I miss him! Although now I “KNOW” he's still here, he has never left, he is always with me.
The only thing separating us... was me. That’s what he came to tell me.

The video below will tell the rest of the story.

Thank you arwen !:heart:

I am working on letting go of as many belief systems as possible. I want to leave this experience an open book, ready and willing for another exciting adventure. I do have a very strong feeling that living through this experience may be one of the most challenging and rewarding things our very powerful sparks of consciousness will ever have the opportunity to be a part of.

Hi Pam
Thank you so much for taking the time to share more of who and what you are with us. I love your honesty about yourself and sharing what you have learned to be true for you. I am also grateful for this interaction.:inlove:

Great thread!

lots of good anecdotes.

My advice to my soldiers always ran along the lines of "who you associate with matters, surround your self with people that inspire you" and "The more you know, the less you should." (and lots other random stuff I've heard from smarter people) or something similar in an attempt to be a good mentor


But then, I've never been through anything that I saw as unexplainable or abnormal; so I don't think I've got the same context as you do.

[Anthony Hale]

It makes very happy to be able to share your stories of life satisfaction. You describe a beautiful family life and it is awesome. Personally, I am also 'happy" at the moment and because I have no young people to worry about for the future, I am relieved. Yes, I do look at the future and feel very confused. What I imagine as being the most important actions for a good life are now being plowed over everywhere. Analog skills and being able to have the leisure to develop as as a person are what I experienced and still revere. I have no idea what will happen but I am, grateful to have my life now.


Hello Delight
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to share with us about yourself. Yes I can empathize with you on what your saying. I do not have children of my own either, it was never something we wanted in this incarnation. I do have plenty of nephews and nieces though, that I get to spoil. Being an uncle is the best of both worlds. I'm happy to hear you are enjoying your life now, regardless of the outer circumstances of the world out there. Yes, there is only NOW.

Hi TargeT

Thank you for the positive feedback! Yes I agree, I keep my circle small. I simply don't have the time or desire for anything else. I am enjoying this forum though. I feel like it is a safe space where we can share without fear of retribution, for simply expressing our thoughts and feelings. Unlike most online platforms these days. Yes I agree, while I am very aware of what goes on in the world out there, the only knowing that is a priority for me, is to Know Thyself.

[Anthony Hale]

Wow, that was beautifully done! You should make more, you have a real gift! (And I am now your 3rd subscriber). :sun:

Hi arwen
I'm glad you enjoyed my video. I have another friend I will share with you. He's kind of shy, but I love him dearly.

I don't mean to dominate this thread so I will be very happy to listen to others, I am just so grateful to find person I really feel a connection to in our understanding.
I don't think Casey Claar a beloved member of this forum would mind me giving her an endorsement. Her work with photographing and communicating through a specific crystal is amazing work and I feel like she would be a wonderful asset to the discussion. I will give here a heads up about this thread. You might want to check out her contributions here, she is just amazing.

Hi Pam !
I absolutely feel a connection with you, time and space are illusions. Please dominate away, I love what your sharing.
I would love to hear from Casey Claar, invite her over, let her know we look forward to hearing her unique perspective.
