@Barna absolutely. She is still a human who needs to survive in this world. You took 5 meo, you could also say the same think. What would be your choise: 1. take a job as an actor, who has the easy job to lie in a bed and spread out the truth through ra weekly, help people around the world to answer their spiritual questions and work in a phantastic research team which explores paranormal activities or 2. work for the rest of your life in a boring library, where nobody knows you? Where nobody listen to the truth you know?

Hello everyone, I read this Ra material, the whole book and I did the research. Here I want to share you my opinion about this: First of all, channeling and Ra seems all like a big big fake. I believe in many stuff like ufos, chi, telepathie but channeling between Carla and Ra never happened. What really happend was this: After Don Elkins did his channeling experiment with a group of people and no success happened, he was embarassed and his research institute doesnt want to support such strange experiments. So he asked Carla. Carla was faking the channeling sessions, pretended to have contact with Ra and helped him out. I read her biographie, Carla is book autor and she began her career in film by screen writing and acting ( http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/Rueckert,Carla L.,Wikipedia.htm). So she knows how to write storys and she knows how to act (as Ra). "What about the law of one? Ra says so much true things" some people will say. You need to know: Carla doesn't have the information from Ra. She has the information from her near-dead and LSD experiences and from many books she was reading. She also worked in a library, therefore there is a high possibility that she has access to books about spirituality. She was interested in spirituality long before this channeling stuff. " what about her motivation? Why should she lie to all the people who want to believe in this crazy bullshit?" Here is the reason: she needed a job like every one else in this world and she loved Don Elkins (you can read this in one of her interviews). She faked all ra sessions to keep the job as a channelor. Furthermore she got many attentions from Don Elkins and all the people around the world for her great Ra contacts. In her situation I would do the same thing. After Don Elkins died, she had no contact to Ra anymore. This is easy to explain because her motivation to play this role comes to an end. So in conclusion I hope some Ra-believers of you wake up from this delusional channeling-stuff. I dont't want to say you cannot get value out of this book. Cut out all the extraterrestrial Ra bullshit and just have the (ra-)w information and it comes to a good spirituality book with a little entertainment factor. But nothing more than that.

Wow, very interesting report. Thanks for showing us your close experience, I can really feel that your life was not easy. I have some questions, you said it was your first psychedelic experience - why did you choose lsd and not for example some mushrooms? I have no drug experiences at all, but one day I will try psychedelics too. I just need to read a lot about this stuff

Hello, I sometimes have the wish to tell my close family-members like my old parents about enlightenment. The problem is they are very close minded and not open to anything as far as I know but they are highly intellectual and philosophical. I know you can question, if it is meaningful at all to talk about enlightenment, but this is another topic. For me it is interesting in the first place to see how they react and of course I would be happy if they at least think about enlightenment seriously for some seconds. Now here comes my question: Do you know how I can introduce them at best to spiritual enlightenment/nonduality? Have some of you showed your friends/family members about enlightenment and how did they react?

@Prabhaker As I said, I just want to see their reactions. I am very curious how their egos fight against this stuff, to see how their world view breaks apart. Another thing is, that it can be a big positive change in their life. I ask me how to do this at best and I ask for your experience. If this action is meaningless to you, fine. I agree with you on a specific level. But please let us discuss this issue in another topic.

@Joel3102thanks to your reply! How did you introduce it to them?What were they saying about this? I think if it comes in your own language they would be more open. Furthermore these people you named look all like monks and a monk is associated religion. Not a good method for introducing them to enlightenment I think

@Snick I think this is not so good instruction to enlightenment. Sounds very crazy without background on this topic to say to someone I do not exist. The video looks stupid at least for someone who never heard about enlightenment before. Even for me its not very funny to watch and without content. But thanks for your reply

@Empty I know it is a hard topic. Showing them the fruits from meditation is nice but this has nothing to do with enlightenment

this is not paranormal, just sleep paralysis. had this many times, nothing special but still scary for new ones who dont know how much the mind can trick on you

Congratulation @Barna, are you enlightened? How much did 5 meo helped you on your way to reach this ego disappearance?

@Vanish thanks for your report. Very interesting to read and congratulation that you made it! Is 5-meo your first psychedelic drug ? And how does your normal day look like? Do you think many times about it? How is it to do normal work? any changes?

I started Holosync, my first binaureal beats, before some weeks ago. For me it works definitely. I am not sure, if it helps in the long run. I think there is a peak moment to get use out of this. Anyone has experience with holosync in the long run?

How do you define sloppy meditation? I thought everythig is ok during meditation if you sit still. My thoughts are going daydreaming and I am losing focus quite often for long time but what can I do to make a "strict meditation"? Nothing is under my control, I thought this is not sloppy but the way it goes

@I_Like_Thing I think you totally misunderstood the context in which leo said this

You want to do conscious work during slep? Learn to practice lucid dreaming and then go a step further: do astral projection. You can use lucid dreaming to start an astal projection.

I am asking me, is there someone else in this forum, who can do Out of Body Experiences at will and also did some serious experiments? Would be interesting to hear from you

@Echoes, you need to know that experiment with other humans is difficult to do for some reasons. 1. you cannot preceisely went out of body on time. You cannot even choose a day preceisely. So if you start this experiment I need 4 days and one of these days it will happen. 2. When I have an Out of Body experience I dont have much time and sometimes I struggle with clear vision. I can be unconscious in a second and the whole experiment fails again. 3. When I prepare something unknown, for example a random open book with pictures, which I havent looked before, it will be there in the astral plane and I can see some strange pictures on the page. However when I compare it to the real picture it has nothing to do with it. I made many experience, not with real people, but with prepared objects. I never had a correct hit. However I sometimes had out of body experiences, which gives you new information about the real world which you did not know before and later I can check this out and find that the information is correct. This is very scary and it happens in very rare cases that I can verify this. However it was no experiment so there could be some bias. In conclusion, I have no real proof for myself that out of body experiences are somehow connected to this "real world"

@Echoes Yes I can visit this norma reality plan with ordinary state of consciousness. You can visit the people in real life and talk to them. They normally dont say anything because they cannot see you. I always had an OOBE in the night. So everyone was sleeping or just sitting in front of the PC. I never told them of my astal visitings because they would think I am crazy. Furthermore if you tell them I saw you sleeping or I saw you sitting in front of the PC, that is not something you can confirm because they do that almost every night

This is it: http://allaboutastral.com/how-to-astral-project-in-8-steps If anyone in this forum give this a try for a whole week, he will 100 % have an OOBE. Reports please

@Laisa I think robe is one of the best. You cannot die during OBE. Make this clear for you, I also had fear of death sometimes, then you are not ready for this. Just think positively, like this will be a funny adventure whatever happens. If you meet entitys they look very scary but still remember, nothing really can happen to you. You are like god in this astral plane. Good luck!

@Echoes, your consciousness is always connected to your body (simply said). When something happens to your body you switch easy to it. Also I can feel my heratbeat if it is too strong during OOBes. So my body gives me important signals when I have to come back into my body. I switch in less than a second back to my normal body. Lucid dreams and OOBes are both experiences of your conscious. But they are soo different in the quality like supernintendo and PS4. OOBE feels absolutely real, more real than reality sometimes. So be prepared to be shocked when you do that for the first time.

Hello, I have many OOBe's. I sounds like you had almost one. This was just the beginning. When you feelling light as a feather, stand up like you would normally do. You are alredy in your astralbody and just dont know it.

@Telepresent no thats wrong. Jed McKenna wrote: "one in ten thousand take to the idea and one in ten thousand of those actually make it, meaning one in a hundred million." Besides that, you are saying one of 10.000.000.000 is enlightened. So going after your statement, no one on this earth would be enlightened right now, there are less than 10.000.000.000 people living on this earth

So Jed McKennas is forecasting, that one under 10.000 people, who are on the path, is enlightened. Lets assume Jed McKennas prognosis is right. Therefore there is a high probability, that someone here in this forum must be fully enlightened. Nevertheless the probability is very low, that this enlightened person reads this thread

How would this retreat environment look like at home? When I need to buy food in the supermarket, would this destroy my retreat? I also plan a retreat at home. I dont like it to wake up so early in the mornig when I would go to a real retreat. furthermore I lke to have everything under my control. At home I have more control than on a retreat I think.
