It seems the only thing binding us to this earth location is a state of mind and purpose. Where would you go if you could? Where would you really like to be? Is there anyplace any better than here? Is there anyplace to really go? Is there any real reason for going anywhere else? For many the whole concept of astral travel is absurd, all except for those who have experienced it. For many who have been Out There, the detail and preciseness of their experience surpasses many of those of their daily lives. There are dreams and there are Lucid dreams and then there are Super Lucid dreams, usually most or all are experienced during our deeper sleep states usually a short time before awaking. In what could be referred to as regular dreams, is where all the scenes appear to float around with little direction or purpose. Lucid dreams appear quite real and are often interactive. In Super Lucid dreams everything appears as a complete reality and there is usually is little question of it being real. The big difference in astral projection is when one is wide awake and completely conscious that within a split second they are suddenly experience an extremely intense movement through time and space to some other place. The scenario ends with the same feeling of movement back to the immediate reality. The most profound experience I have ever encountered happened several years ago that was completely unexpected. Fortunately I have no history of any drug use and being at an age where fantasy and delusion are fully understood. My mother had been in a rest home for a few months with severe terminal cancer and close to departure. On the night of this occurrence we had usual visit and got home and bed about eleven this particular evening. At about four in the morning I awoke completely awake, there were no sounds, no dogs barking, no phones ringing, no weather conditions, simply no reason to be so awake without a major disaster. Thinking I shouldn't waste the time since I was awake I made the token water offering and replenished that with another glass while I made an offering to the tobacco gods. In the quiet I contemplated the eminent passing of my mother and returned to bed expecting to be fully awake until morning. Years before when I first experienced the Great Spirit my first Seeing was being immersed in the most beautiful living electric blue. On this occasion the moment I closed my eyes there was The Blue, it was different this time, this time the blue was interspersed with brilliant sparkling pure white light. The blue became as a wall that laid over revealing another wall of color and another and another, suddenly I felt like I was moving across these fields of color with more acceleration than I have ever experienced or could begin to imagine. It felt as if I went to the center of the universe within a split second. Suddenly I was in this Place, on my right was a long massive presidium like an oversized jury box, to my front left was a chair of the same design, this and a floor was the sum of the surroundings. The appearance of everything was that of polished stone, it appeared as firm and hard as stone yet it seemed to be structured of fields of energy that if I was so mind to I could easily pass my hand through any of it. Behind and within the presidium were several Beings of Light as many refer to them, as I turned toward them with one collective mind telepathically said, "You know what you have to do, now just do it.". I asked no questions and understood what they were referring to. They were referring to my decision whether or not and how to take what my research had revealed public. The absolute knowing that these beings possessed intelligence surpassing any known by earthly standards, it was also felt they possessed none of what we refer to as emotional qualities. I then turned to the Beautiful Lady who was in the chair, she appeared as any normal human with two exceptions, the appearance of light emanating from within her body and that of projecting all the Divine Love of the universe. She telepathically spoke the words, "Don't worry about those guys, that's just the way they are, no sense of humor, there is nothing to worry about.". Immediately I felt my being returning the same as I had gone, I opened my eyes still fully awake thinking, "Boy, that was a good one.". As I lay there contemplating the experience suddenly the phone rang, it was my daughter who informed me that the rest home had just called telling her that mom had just passed away. With the great vastness of the universe there has to be many ways and methods of travel.
