What you call "folklore" is somethign that people today do not understand. Faries, trolls, dragons, elves, demons, angels, unicorns, and what we
call 'aliens' all exist, all the time. They exist as in, they are conscious of their experience, as you are conscious of your human experience.
The experience is different and I can explain it all now; what our ancestors were perceiving and experiencing, and what happened to that
'connection' of those un-explained events. It very simple, but in this day and age, is completely misunderstood because of the MIND.
The human being has 5 senses to experience an EXTERNAL reality, that is, an expereince that can be experienced outside of a body via eyes, ears,
tongue, nose and nerves.
The human being also has a MIND, and an energetic system binded to the physiccal body, we call it the 'chakra system' as it has been known for
thousands of years.
Its within the mind, the third eye, the Ajna chakra, that all these 'mythological beings were experienced and percieved. A space within the human
consciousness that cannot be experienced by the 5 senses. Your mind is much then a body; within your mind, if activated and TRAINED, you can travel
and do many "supernatural" things.
We simply call this "higher dimensions" or; realms, planes, levels of consciousness. We are MULTI-dimensional beings, the other dimensions exist
inside your mind. If the body was 'Hell' , and your highest conscious level was 'Heaven', then your mind is the in-between place.
Within the in-between place, the mind, one can travel to other realms, and sometimes meet other beings, who are NON-human consciousness. These could
be fairies, trolls, unicorns, angels, demons, dragons, greys, reptilians, elves, and a whole lot of other beings that are nameless and very weird
looking.
You have a physical body that you are 'looking out of' via eyeballs. You only know the universe exists, because of the 5 senses. Without the senses,
you would be in the "in-between" realm or trapped in your mind. Very simple way to put it.
You also have an astral body also known as; dream body, light body, energy body, etheric body.. This is still YOU, as in the human consciousness who
is AWARE it is experiencing or observing realities. When the astral body is active, and you are conscious within it, you can travel to anywhere in the
'Universe'/Innerverse you can think of.
You are as limited as you can think, or as much as your mind can contain. Other beings are mischeivous (spelling? Lol) and have intentions of tricking
the innocent beings who blindly travel in the higher realms. This is where you get your stories from.
Are beings are down-right evil and want to drain your energy and keep you trapped in the body meanwhile they 'leech' your energy from the above
(astral) body. We metaphorically call them vampires; you know the bloodsuckers who cant stand the light
Its a metaphor to describe the dark
beings who suck your life energy within the higher realms.
But there are also very beautiful, wise, loving and benevolent beings who can guide, protect and help you. Sometimes we call them angels, but that
word is a hijacking. The angels with the names ending is "EL" (AngEL, MichEL, GabriEL, RaphiEL) are not in your best interest.. That was a headsup
lol
These beings are of such a high frequency/vibration within their conscious field; they focus more on STO (Service to others) rather STS (Service to
self). When you (as in any conscious being) operates to help everyone else grow spiritually, you are of the higher levels of consciousness. That is
why these beings are usually BRIGHT and full of LIGHT, but can ONLY be perceived when you resonate at a high enough conscious level.
I hope I explained well enough for the reader to understand these 'folklore' stories and mythological beings. Our ancestors were more intune with
THEMSELVES internally, and more intune with nature externally, which is why their minds operated at such a higher level.
Today most people are trapped in the construct of soceity, the matrix, they do not have that "bridge" form the body to the higher self. And this is
why they cannot understand those people who do, nor understand all the mystery of our ancients.
When you leave the phsyical body and ARE conscious, you are in the astral body (dream, light, energetic etc..), and you are free to travel as far as
your mind will allow you too. There is always higher states of cosnciousness; which is what BEING is all about; "LIFE" is not being a physical body
for 75ish years and dying...
LIFE is about finding your true self within and expanding to the higher states of consciousness while maintaining that level within the physical body.
Hope it all helps, thanks for the thread
