Several years after I learnt how to astral travel at night, I found a certain spiritual teacher –cum- psychotherapist. The type of therapy he used was a form of eye-gazing meditation. The biggest Zen sect today still practices eye-gazing meditation in a certain form, though probably a little differently. (He also taught me a walking meditation similar to that used today in many Zen monasteries. But I wonder if even all the Zen masters today any longer understand some of the "technical" details of what these practices are for, and how to get maximum benefit from them.)
The primary outcome of each session was the insights which were released in me when one or more “hitchhikers” were removed. Their removal was a detachment from my consciousness, to and in which they had up till then been attached.
I’ve felt reluctant to post in the current thread on hitchhikers because I’m not sure many might not find what I have to say credible, or might consider me half-insane. To the best of my knowledge, many of the hitchhikers are some of the individual’s own past-life personalities, or imprinted personalities – not necessarily just from this world or planet. Some others are ancestors or dead relatives or close friends who have died. Incidentally, how do you think a “guide” manages to influence you, unless they’re sometimes in partial control of your consciousness?
Very soon after I had started seeing that therapist/teacher, he met a very experienced psychic. She was very aware that after he removed hitchhikers from his clients’ consciousnesses, he was sending them elsewhere in the physical world. There they would inevitably attach to the consciousness of someone else who had a physical body. In fact, he confessed to her he was sending them all to a certain maternity hospital, so they would attach to new babies!
The psychic, however, was expert in how to send the hitchhikers to a certain area in 5D. This was done by using what was known (since the nineteenth century) as the Ascension Ritual of her religion, the religion of Oahspe.
I soon learnt how to use that ritual also. It invited in what I would now describe as certain healing angels. These literally took the hitchhikers with them, out of this world and into the 5D world. After some months I found I seemed to be able to take the hitchhikers of any clients I worked on to the Oahspe part of 5D myself.
Then I learnt how to just go to that area of 5D and just “hover” there, eyes open, during normal activities such as work. I also found that while “hovering” there I could remove some hitchhikers from, or otherwise defuse some of the negative energies of, the people around me.
A few months later, the teacher/therapist passed me on to one of his clients who then became my teacher/therapist for a few months. Believe it or not, I had just recently directly met the gods Pan and Gaia/Kali. But, as far as I could tell, this fellow actually had those gods attached to him as hitchhikers at the time. He was quite unaware of their presence, though. He was always taking me to wild places where the nature spirits were extremely strong. We used to joke about how he was Don Juan Matus and I was Carlos Castaneda. He claimed he didn’t mind if I took notes, though I felt he did mind, because that would have been analyzing or conceptualizing too much. I now regret I didn’t take those notes. For a number of months around that time, he had lived in a cave in a wild natural spot. By day he worked in the corporate world. The area where his cave was was full of large funnel web (tarantula) spiders and poisonous snakes. But he wasn’t fazed by them at all.
One of the amazing phenomena when we went walking in those wild or natural places was seeing all the nature spirits everywhere glowing so vividly and communicating so intelligently as the supreme king and queen of Nature on the planet passed by. Unforgettable.
Incidentally, that man had very clear and precise memories of how he had practiced eye-gazing meditation seven thousand years ago. He said he was a type of monk back then, in the jungles near the border of India and Burma. Those monks wore green, and they worked in secret, keeping even their existence a secret.
It would be quite a few years before I could actually begin to see hitchhikers. All I used to see back then would be violet lights. Violet is the colour of the healing angels who are responsible for taking hitchhikers to a higher dimension.
But the feeling of “hovering” in that space was quite extraordinary. It was a whole new way of seeing things, a way where I could wander free at so many levels. It took time and hard work to get there. But I know this is something every human being was “meant” to learn and master somehow.
The way to get rid of most hitchhikers was to directly face your demons, your inadequacies, your failures – kind of one at a time and intensely and without letting up. Eventually you could come to a core insight about what false point of view you had been holding on to. Then the hitchhiker would have to leave anyway. So I guess another way to get to detachment is to calmly question everything you believe about yourself.
But if you are serious about realizing the God-nature within you, you have to do it by somehow giving up all sorts of identities that you believed were part of you.
However you manage to do that, that’s detachment.
