Reintroduction & A couple slight Questions

Good Morning,

My previous account has had it's posting privileges revoked for some reason, I have not been on it in about a year I have been trolling so I don't know as to why it was revoked but anyways.... As I can not post in the regular forums Im hoping someone who troll's the new introductions have some information to help me out with.

When I was younger, I can recall from personal memory as well as when I converse with my mother about things that use to happen to me, and to this day I am perplexed as to how to explain these occurrences.

*When between the ages of 5-10 when I use to think or crave candy (specifically bubble gum) from behind either my right or left ear (I can not remember which one) a piece of gum would materialize out of thin air and fall, fully wrapped, nothing fishy or funny about it. Now some might say it was my mother or father playing tricks with me, but I can tell you that this always happened when I was in room's by myself. Once it even happened as I was walking into my house with no one in the immediate area to place it behind my ear, nor was their force as if someone threw it. One day a piece of bubble gum materialized that I didn't particularly care for and I voiced this dislike verbally, once I did I got the feeling you normally get when you KNOW you hurt someone's feelings and from that point on till this day I have never received another gift of the sort

*Growing up I have also been familiar at a young age with Imp's. I would be in my room or another room in the house and I would see something dart past door seals, or walls that did not have the shape of a mouse or rat or any other wildlife known to frequent homes. I asked my mother about it and she explained it to me as if teaching me elementary math that it was a "Imp" and it protected our house as well as us, and to this day we have not had any negativity befall ourselves or house while we were in it. Lately I have not seen the Imp, although I do not know why.

*Also growing up I have always been a introverted child, and to this day I am still as such. and have always had a healthy fascination with the "paranormal". my earliest "paranormal" experience beyond the bubble gum thing was when I had an asthma attack that forced my mother to rush me to children's hospital in which I was giving heavy med's to help subdue my attack and the effect's of this medication put me to rest very easily and deeply. On the return home the night I was discharged I remember falling asleep and waking up, but I could not move, felt at peace and didn't feel any danger. I could see infront of me but I knew my eye's were closed my vision was in a grey and white hue, my room wall's were blue and the Aladdin poster in which I could see was very vibrant with colors but on this experience EVERYTHING lacked definable color. I could also hear people in conversation but the voices I did not recognize and knew they were not within the immediate area.

*I am 24 now, and to this day if I set it up correctly I can put myself into Sleep-Paraylsis which I enjoy but lately have been getting uneasy by doing so. Why? I honestly don't have a solid answer, but anyways....When I do this I allow my soul to roll with the punches sort-to-say, being as though I feel my arm's and/or leg's becoming weightless or lightly pulled, it doesn't freak me out but what frustrates me is the fact i have on multiple occasions had my entire body becoming weightless but my head stayed within the same spot as if it weighed a ton. It has only been one time where I feel I actually was able to gain full mobility from a Sleep-Paraylsis and I was jumping on the bed just enjoying myself (lol). As I was jumping I thought of trying to goto a girl's room I had a crush on (blame it on the hormones lol) as soon as I jumped towards the ground I got a quick mental image of a NO with the circle and slash sign, I was then transported to a room that felt very familiar as it was in the style of my Aunt's old house. when I got there, it was as if I was waking up (but I could tell I was still not in the waking world). When my vision and auditory senses cleared up (they sounded and felt muffled) I noticed 2 or 3 individuals, 1 I knew for a fact was a friend who had passed away in a car crash about a year or 2 before hand. They had a note book with something writing down it, to this day I kick myself for not paying attention to the words, they should me my own ID card (I could not tell you as to why), I knew this wasn't dream although I wasn't awake so I did something very ignorant and foolish to tested it and thought a negative thought about the deceased friend, needless to say I was ejected (best way to describe the feeling) right out of that reality and back to my waking state.
The most recent and memory provoking experience of this caliber was when I was in Iraq and was sleeping, I had a vision(?) or something with no voices, no visible entities, but only a moving background I could best compare to stars in space and a passage or something, it was titled and had words, and again I did not pay attention to it and could not remember what it said. now I was around alot of HF, LF, frequency producing equipment but with my past "track-record" I did not chalk it up to the radio waves interfering with my brain.


Now with all that said, I ask if anyone can point me in the proper direction of any books or reading material which allows me to explore this. I have looked up Imp's online and although some what helpful it didn't really give me a sense of "OOOOHHHH Ok, thats what was happening" type of feeling. I do believe that there is more to life then what we can see, hear, and feel in our waking hours. my belief on God/Supreme Being/Creator is (in my point of view) alot different and better suit's my belief's due to past experiences and happenings in my life, so I usually steer clear of religious books such as the Bible, the Quran, the Torah, etc. when trying to find explanations for these occurrences. I come to ATS asking and expressing my thoughts and past to hopefully find some reading material to help me better understand it, or to hopefully run across someone else who has had or are experiencing these happenings. I know some will call B/S, or doubt what I have typed and thats to be expected, but all I ask is if you do not have anything helpful to add to my search then please don't post it in a reply here, Private Message me and I will entertain your slander there lol.

Thanks in Advance,

I ate a bunch of artemesia one time and thought I heard tiny imps inside my body communicating back and forth to each other double checking system functions. I have no idea what that meant or what imps really even are for that matter but who knows... maybe they are all over the place.

dont know about books to help you.

perhaps the 1st thing you could do is go back to the house and say you are sorry for upsetting the imp and your deceased friend. If it was me, i would leave a gift for the imp (thimble of organic/wild honey).

all that bfree bubble gum you have missed out on ...

think or crave candy
a piece of gum would materialize out of thin air

I once watched an 8 year old girl correctly guess one chosen card out of 16...at least half a dozen times in a row for several people. Curiously, despite having done card tricks off and on myself for many years, and watching her very closely to see how she was doing it, I didn't see any way it could be done. So, naturally I congratulated her on an excellent trick and when she volunteered to teach it to me I declined, because a magician "never reveals" the trick. But she insisted, and eventually I accepted, because it was an awesome trick and I really wanted to know how it was done.

And when she explained how she did it...there was no sleight of hand at all. Basically, the secret was to "tap each card a couple times and then you know."

Seriously.

Sadly, I saw her again a few days later and suddenly she wasn't able to do it anymore. Apparently she hadn't realized that she wasn't supposed to be able to do that.

EVERYTHING lacked definable color

Two possibilities come to mind:

The color-sensing components in your eyes need a bit more light to function than the black and white components. You'll notice that you can still see in subdued light, but colors are not as vivid. If you were experiencing severe miosis due to the attack, or the drugs they gave you, your eyes might not have been registering color very well.

Sometimes out of body experiences occur with limited sensory "connection." One might have an OBE with no visual component, for example, or only a fuzzy, grainy vision. You may have been experiencing something similar.

I can put myself into Sleep-Paraylsis which I enjoy but
lately have been getting uneasy by doing so. Why?

That's very common. There are many theories as to why it happens. From my own personal experience, "sleep paralysis" is an intermediary stage between waking consciousness and an OBE. Sort of like, your focus is no longer on the physical body, but you haven't actually moved away from it yet. As for the unease, you might read about Old Hag Syndrome, which depending on the school of thought, is either a manifestation of your own fear, scary monsters waiting to eat you, or any number of things. Again, many theories. But the experience itself is quite common.

my head stayed within the same spot as if it weighed a ton.

Interesting. Personally I find the head to be one of the easiest parts to get out, but I suppose it's probably just that we have different chakras blocked.

In any case, try grabbing onto something with your hands and pulling the "stuck" portions out. Sometimes that works. And don't worry about reach. Even if the roof is six feet away, your two foot long arms may still be able to reach it. Try not to make too many assumptions about things.

I knew this wasn't dream although I wasn't awake

From what I've read, personal experiences with these things vary highly. Take anything you read from anyone else with a grain of salt. It may or may not apply to you. And you may experience things that don't apply to anyone else. I personally suspect that that "dreams" "lucid dreams" "astral" projection "etheral" projection "out of body experiences" and probably several other classes of experience are all slightly different phenomenon. But not everyone has experienced all of them, so sometimes the words different people use to describe them disagree with each other. For example, I've had lucid dreams, and I've had experiences that I'd call "out of body" and experiences that I'd call "astral projection" but these are just names that I've associated to experiences. Somebody else who's had some unusual experience is probably doing the same. So when I say astral projection that doesn't necessarily mean I'm talking about the same sort of experience as somebody else when they say astral projection.

Point being, there seem to be a variety of non-waking states of consciousness, and when talking to others about them it may be helpful to establish a common frame of reference so you know what people are talking about. Also, if somebody says something that contradicts your own experience...make your own judgements. Maybe you're doing something that they aren't, but they don't know that.

Alternately, it may be that there are "no rules" when one is out of body, be in practice we're limited by the rules that we think we have. For example, personally I've never seen any indication of this "silver thread" thing that people like to talk about, but some people are thoroughly insistent that everybody has one. So...if your first exposure to this sort of thing is somebody who's completely anal about how you must have a silver thread, you may tend to expect that and therefore have one because of it. But I'm just speculating. Maybe they're all octaves above me and know what they're talking about. *shrug*

I recommend you come to your own conlusions rather than believing anything anybody else says.

I ask if anyone can point me in the proper direction of any books or reading material which allows me to explore this.

Google or ATS searches for any of the above expressions would probably be helpful. A lot of what you're talking about has been discussed at great length by others. Just be prepared to filter out a lot of nonsense and come to your own conclusions about these things.

Oh, and welcome to ATS.

One final tip, sooner or later a mod will be around to tell you that this is an introduction so we're not allowed to have any serious discussion here. When that happens, you'll need to make 20 posts to threads before you can make your own.

Yea I have thought about and apology but have yet to do so, and honestly as crazy as this sounds (i have done research and seen that brownies eat food im not sure about imps) it likes playing little tricks, being mischievous and when it would hide keys or remotes, my mother would just say out loud "Come On Imp, I don't have time for these games. I am going to be late" or something along that line and in about 1-2mins the item in question would appear somewhere we had already looked/checked.
===============

LordBucket,

I do not think it was miosis due to the fact I know it was not visuals being seen with my own eye's, I could not explain to you as to how I knew/know this but im 100% sure it was not my two physical eyes. and I have heard of the Old Hag or the witch ride, and i have never had either of those types of experiences being in sleep paralysis. I have seen "shadow entities" one in particular was a male type of figure who use to stand by my bed side every now and again. It never tried to attack me or anything, and i never felt any evil or negative energies from it but it was weird and a little uneasy.

And yea, I think my crown chakra is probably been blocked for awhile. and i usually do not have full control over my limbs when in the beginning stages of sleep paralysis. i try to move but it seldom produces results. and I have yet to see a silver thread, I do believe we maintain a contact with our physical vessel but a thread in my opinion would not make sense, but even before hearing of the silver thread connection i have never seen one while going thru sleep paralysis.

preciate your help man

Good Morning!

I can tell you that you must have a very good inborn quality(do NOT get complacent but you have alot of virtue and much less karma).

You should read the book Zhuan Falun(treats our third eye and its structure, our supernormal(inborn) abilities(clairvoyance, telepathy, precognition, levitation etc etc), and how to become a good person and cultivate your body, mind and soul to raise your level and see what you and your powers are all about.

Zhuan Falun is the main book of self-cultivation in Falun Dafa. You will know that this is the right way as soon as you read the book, just keep reading it all through and see for yourself what happens. It is all free to download.

www.falundafa.org...

Exercises here: www.falundafa.org...

Try the five exercises after reading the book. My guess is you can do double-Lotus rather easily and achieve a very high level of concentration.

PM me if you have more questions.

Wish you good luck!
