Love After Life

In the Book Club we've been talking about techniques for achieving astral projection through dreams and techniques for maintaining and deepening the experience, and for finding your partner there.  (The book we're getting that from is Michael Raduga's "The Phase.") Here lately, though, all I've been doing is asking for specific things in my dreams and getting them. I've had several experiences and synchronicities lately that led me to the conclusion that I should just be specific about what it is I want.  So, I wrote it down - what I want for the time being in this transdimensional state of our relationship. I've already talked to Irene in depth about what I want when I cross over.  What I wrote down was that I wanted to be able to spend at least an hour a day with her in a completely physical, 100% real environment, completely aware and able to remember it all. The first part of the dream I remember was lying in bed resting with a couple of other ...

So weirdly, again, I was blocked again by circumstances from trying to astral project today. One thing after another kept intervening.  A few weeks ago when I was trying to astral project the position I was using and the techniques were very uncomfortable and my I kept either having a very dry and sticky throat or allergy drainage.  I'm wondering if there is some reason I'm not supposed to be astral projecting or if this is another example of my current mental habits trying to stop me from traveling out of my current state by throwing obstacles in my way. That's something Irene and I noticed during our lives that whenever we were trying some new habit or lifestyle change to alter course, suddenly there would be all kinds of obstacles.  We recognized the pattern - it's like trying drive a car out of a rut you've cut by going on the same path over and over - getting out of the rut isn't smooth as you bound over the ridge and then have to drive outside of the smo...

Today I added a new practice to my routine.  It will be daily attempts to astral project from a lying-down position using a technique I'll be posting as permanent blog page.  Since I usually wake up at around four in the morning, it's easy for me to take a nap in the early afternoon, so I'll be primed to try this "falling asleep" astral projection technique, which is similar to others I've read about and have seen on videos, every day at a regular time.  I'll also be doing this when I go to bed for the night, and then perhaps I'll have opportunities while sleeping and/or dreaming. It's not complicated and it doesn't require any special tricks, positions or techniques - it's really just about maintaining your consciousness and keeping focus while your body shuts down the way it normally does when you go to sleep.  After I wrote yesterday about attempting astral projection to try and connect better with Irene, this morning Dillon Glover pr...

Another great day yesterday, another great morning this morning!  I sat on the back patio this morning and said my prayers, smoked my morning cigarette and talked with irene.  A few short weeks ago I would have thought this kind of easy, normal feeling would either not be possible or would be somehow hurtful or disappointing, but I see that was only my own fear and insecurity.  Irene and I had a very fun, easy relationship while she was here - no drama, no need to make big issues out of anything. Well, that's where we had been for the last ten or twelve years. Before that there was the usual stuff most couple go through, especially when pre-existing children were involved. There's no reason this new form of our relationship cannot be as fun, easy and fulfilling, without me cooking it up with drama or tears or insecurities.  There is a very special, very warm and intimate quality to being able to speak to each other mentally that is an intensification of the connect...
