Discussion in another thread about astral projection reminded me of something. An example of a definitive Top Ten. I spent a week at The Monroe Institute some years back. (I didn't have any out-of-body experiences.) Joe McMoneagle was scheduled to spend a morning with us and before he arrived, we were going to watch a video which showed his remote viewing capabilities. Before the video, we were asked to go into meditation and see if we could visualize the same scene/location he was going to try to visualize in remote viewing. Well, I got nothing. I went into meditation and surrounded myself in gold light and I couldn't get anything but the gold light. No visions of any place or anything, just gold light. I was disgusted and figured this is the way it goes for me!
They started the video and the location shown was the St. Louis Arch in Missouri. Joe's voiceover begins, "Gold light."
Whoa! Now I was totally blown away. I learned a lesson not to discount any of my impressions, not to think they are insignificant.
After the week was over, I was driving back to Wisconsin from Virginia. At some point on the second day, I stopped at a convenience store in Indiana for a break, and walked around looking at stuff, just to get out of the car for awhile. I started looking at postcards. In the midst of all these postcards of Indiana scenes, was one single postcard of the St. Louis Arch. This freaked me out so much that I left! That postcard definitely did not belong in this convenience store in Indiana.
There was a rummage sale down the road so I drove down there just for the heck of it. I decided to buy a couple blue tin plates which had pretty winter scenes painted on them. When I got home, I hung them in the kitchen hallway.
Four years later, a close friend of mine died suddenly of a massive heart attack. This is a guy who had once expressed a desire to get to go on a spaceship adventure like in
Close Encounters of the Third Kind, so I like to think he was offered this chance and left. A couple days later, at around 4 a.m., one of those tin plates fell off the wall and hit the floor BAM! I was really disturbed by this and couldn't get back to sleep. I was wondering if it was my friend doing a little poltergeist activity (which would be just like him) and wondered why he would choose that plate to knock off the wall. It took me the better part of the day before I remembered when and where I had bought that plate.
There are connections here that give me questions about reality.
