![]() ![]() ![]() I don't know why I'm joining the fray, but no matter what I believe in, this following event occurred to me. I was a cop for 25 years in New Jersey (an eerie thing in itself). One night I awoke with a yell from a dream, startling my wife. She asked if I had a nightmare and I told her not really. I dreamt that I was speaking on the phone to Dr. Landy's nurse; nothing scary at all, yet I had a hard time getting back to sleep as I couldn't stop thinking about the dream. I had never met Dr. Landy and only knew his name because I was a cop. I eventually fell asleep and in the morning when I awoke, I had completely forgotten the dream. I went to work that morning and within ten minutes of arriving I received a phone call from a woman who said she awoke to find her husband dead on the floor in the kitchen. I dispatched a patrol car and the officer called me from the home confirming the man was dead and to call the family doctor for a pronouncement. The family doctor was Dr. Landy and as I looked up his number I never thought of the dream. When Dr. Landy's nurse answered the phone, the hair on the back of my neck stood up (that really happens I found out). I never did meet Dr. Landy or his nurse, nor ever dealt with them again in my career. What was my dream? Coincidence? I'm not so sure. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() quote: roblguth - Hi! I read some of your postings on other threads - you seem intelligent and nice! It sounds like you were beings warned of something that was probably meant to happen, as a way to lessen the shock to your system. This happens to people all the time. Some people call it coincidence, but some would call it a precognitive dream, which is what I believe you had. In other words, you were warned while you were in the astral (which occurs every night when we sleep, and to some people who can do it consciously). (This means you left your body while sleeping.) It seems when we have precognitive dreams, we go to a place (some call it the Hall of Probabilities) where we are allowed to look at what seems like a large screen which shows us visions of what will probably happen. To some people (especially those involved in the incident), they don't actually see a screen, they are IN the incident as it happens and when they wake and the incident occurs, it is sometimes referred to as deja vu. Ever follow up on a hunch while trying to solve a crime, etc.? IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() Psichick, I will be e-mailing you soon. Roman, this wasted energy you speak of. . .I don't think you understand: I get high off helping others out. I HAVE served meals to the homeless, I offer free tarot readings to those I feel need them (usually several a month), and I spend part of each day meditating for someone who has asked me to do so. Hell, I can be on cloud-nine all day just by helping out a broken-down car or offering to buy lunch for a stranger who can't afford it. If more people understood how GOOD it feels to "waste" their energy on beliefs that drove them to such deeds, we'd have a pretty ideal world. I believe that "God" is everything. . .and with that I try to see the piece of "God" in the homeless man begging for change, the "a$$hole" who just cut me off on the road, the hateful young man who wants so badly for me to hate him back. . . I used to be like you, Roman, so I can't judge your negative outlook on the subjects spoken about in this thread. . .I still, however, reserve the right to feel sorry for you. Best wishes.

![]() ![]() ![]() I was like you too Roman, so I can understand the frustration you feel with what you consider false beliefs. But I don't approve of the way you chastise people, and the way you draw generic conclusions based on people's beliefs. Such as the idea that a person is irresponsible if they don't agree with you. Here's an experience I related on the ghost thread. The cool above post jogged my memory. Let's hear you respond to this, Roman, and how science would explain it. I was 22. I had not seen or talked to my Grandad in 3 years, altho I was very fond of him. At 11:00 one night, I was lying on my bed, and I saw a hallucination of my grandad flying through the window. He hovered over my bed, and seemed to telepathically convey a message to me. In my mind, I heard him tell me that he had died, and he wished me luck and love and said goodbye. It kind of looked like that fantasy that Mr. Smithers has about Mr. Burns flying over his bed, only not sexual, and whenever I see that Simpsons episode it always makes me think of my experience. So far, a hallucination, right? Totally imagined in my mind. The next morning I get a call from my mom. Sure enough, at 11 the night before my grandfather had an accident and died. Actually he had gotten up after my grandmother had fallen asleep to drink the pork juice which was forbidden on his diet, and he was drunk and he slipped and hit his head on the counter. Pork juice everywhere. So, I had a vision of my grandfather dying the exact time that he died in another state. I've never had another vision that distinct. I'm not saying the vision was really his ghost. I'm not saying this is proof of God, or the afterlife or anything. But please, explain this vision and the fact that it was true. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() Tommy, given the quantum theory, "all is now; all is here" it would be quite easy for the essence of your grandfather to "appear" in front of you and inform you of his death. He wouldn't have to travel to get to you; the astrial doesn't work with such physical limitations. I say your "hallucination" was a true message. . .I'm sure quite a few people here will disagree. I've seen even less-believable things, so I don't need much convincing. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() Psichick, thanks for your insight (and compliment). My question is, Who or what was warning me about the event to take place? And why would I need a lessening of shock? As a cop who saw many shocking things, that phone call was hardly shocking to me. I tend to think that the man died during the night and his last thought was to call Dr. Landy (the phone in the kitchen was only a couple of feet away). Somehow his last thoughts were passed on to me. What do you think? IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() quote: Tommy - I agree with Enigmagirl - your granddada came to visit you in the astral as his 3rd dimensional body lay dead, because he wanted you to know that he was outta here! That's nice. My mother came to visit me after she died, but I didn't see her, I felt her presence only. IP: Logged |
psichick Member |
![]() ![]() ![]() quote: Well, God usually warns us, but you may be right in this case. Since you did see many shocking things, what you guessed is probably right. Thanks for the correction! Have you ever had a hunch that helped you solve a crime? IP: Logged |
TommyTerror Member |
![]() ![]() ![]() quote: When my other grandad died, and a couple friends, I knew it beforehand but I didn't see them. Like I said, I try to keep an open unbiased mind about these things, but from what I've read about astral travel this theory is the one that fits the best so far, I agree.

![]() ![]() ![]() Well, yes, Tommy T., it was definitely prophetic. I've actually had a few things happen to me like that. And Psichic, I can't really think of any hunches I had off-hand, but then again, I never really thought of hunches as any real psychic ability. Cops just think in real strange ways. I'd like to talk more about this, but for now I've got to go... IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() quote: Hi, Tommy! When my father died (when I was 15), I had a precognitive dream that 2 strange men with knives attacked my father and killed him in the driveway. The next thing I knew, my father was scheduled for heart surgery and died on the operating table. We used to visit him the hospital every day before his operation, and the day of his operation, when we got in the elevator to go to the waiting room, he peeked through the little window down at us, and I remembered my dream and KNEW he was going to die, before they came in to tell us. I went into shock because my father was THE most important person in my life. But, I accepted that it was his time to go and that God warned me beforehand so that it wouldn't be so much of a shock. Subconsciously, I had time to adjust. If I hadn't, I don't know what would have happened. I started studying metaphysics shortly after that. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() I've actually gotten there a few times; on average it took between ten and twenty minutes of deep meditation to even get anywhere. In "finding" people it's hit and miss; you don't really "travel" anywhere. . .it's moreso like being in more than one place at the same time. One thing I've found is that, when astrially looking at someone, infections look like red dots in the body and irritation and inflamation look like black dots. I've already learned how to perform minor "pranic" healings by flushing out the red and black "dots" with white light. Sounds out there, I know. . . IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() Hey EnigmaGirl... can you look for buried treasure when you're out of body? I really wanna know.... Once a long time ago I was standing a few people behind this old guy in line at the supermarket, and he was so old and weathered, I filled him with white light, as I often did back then. He immediately reared up and spun around and yelled "Cut that out" at me. It's not like I start waving my arms or anything. You'd never be able to tell I was filling someone with white light. So quickly I mentally cleared the karma between us to be done with it, and again he turns around and yells "I told you to cut that out!". Everyone was staring at me, they thought he was crazy. It was funny. And I've stopped filling people with white light unless they ask for it, or I can't help myself. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() Hi Psichick: I referred Billhays to this thread because on the GOD thread he thinks Out of Body Experience are nothing more than Dreams. If he is serious, maybe some of you can help him. He could just be contrary. I am not sure yet. Get him some help if he comes over here and demonstrates sincerity. Thank you. Satire.

![]() ![]() ![]() Start meditating. It's not the funnest thing in the world to decide to do at first, but after a while it actually becomes something to look forward to. Start with something small (ten minutes or so), then slowly increase the amount of time as you become more comfortable. Focus on your breathing, slowing it, and let thoughts go as they come. After a while, you'll start to pick up on things, perceptual changes. I believe things will come naturally after that. ![]() IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() You people should look into the effects of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, and how normal, everyday physical interruptions of the brain can produce all the same effects you think are so unique or other-wordly. You may as well all be dreaming, because the brain has been known to produce sensations that may seem very real to you at the time, until you find out that those same feelings are the same those who have brain malfunctions experience. Seriously read what those people go through and you won't be so proud or stubborn at your so-called revelations. Brain tumors are not that all uncommon anymore. The few of you here who admit to these sensations might instead go get some x-rays and be tested for more serious problems than hyper-imaginations. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() quote: Blobello, I understand your points. . .it is not evident in these threads how deeply a woman of science I am. I understand how, with the documented effects of practices such as sensory-deprivation and hallucination-creating disorders of the mind, stories written by myself and others here may seem hard to swallow -- especially if you've never witnessed anything with your own eyes (etc.) to prove our validity. Yes, seizure disorders do exist, brain tumors and diseases such as schizhphrenia can create delusions of similar epiphany. My family saw me as crazy throughout my childhood -- especially when I started seeing auras and talking of "strange theories" -- but now even my elders come to me for counsel. My "crazy theories" are now actually becoming proven scientific realities. Call it "spiritually intune," call it psychosis -- it's not my concern to tell you what to believe -- my life has seemingly been one supernatural event after another. . .and either I have been part of several group hallucinations, or my true autobiography will be significantly better than fiction.

![]() ![]() ![]() quote: Did you ever stop to think that the physical basis for these experiences is exactly what enables people to transcend them. It's like the springboard for jumping higher. The ladder for climbing. The support for a leaping dance. What makes an experience possible should never be confused with the experience itself. That's like saying the clothes I'm wearing are what I feel while wearing them. Perhaps it's the body that allows us entry into a world in which it can't follow. There's the body that allows us to sense an experience and there's the realm that is sensed. BUT THAT"S NOT WHY I'M HERE.

![]() ![]() ![]() The following was posted on the "Is there a God Thread" in answer to questions of BillHays concernong Out of Body Experiences so it really belongs on this thread. Satire There is no money in it! We put a man on the moon, while many starve in our streets. Science follows the dollar. If there was money in finding the answer to OBE, we would Nearly everything you say below has already been stated on the OBE thread. Why do you You told me you researched this subject 20 years ago. That was the time of Jeane Dixon's Copyright 2001 Roach Family Trust. Excerpts from Abstract of Screenplay 1. Many of us have had many previous lives. 2. We are given a choice to return to life as we know it to improve ourselves over some 3. We pick our parents and know how we will die before we agree to return to another 4. Birth is a horrible experience far worse that death. 5. Our Mind is almost blank, remembering not from whence we came nor our objective 6. The body grows and the mind learns. 7. Assuming you live to your 90s The body reaches maturity in the 30s, and begins to 8. The mind however continues to grow without aging at all except for certain diseases. 9. You are the essence of your mind at its peak so you do not die. When your mind leaves 10. Friends, relatives or the State dispose of your aged shell of a body. 11. Your mind enters the light at the end of what OBE people have claimed is a tunnel. 12. They recognize either your spirit or you now having a body. Which body? If you have 13. Is there sex in this dimension? Not as we know it. It is actually better. Your essence can actually enter the essence of the loved one completely and entirely and experience the loved one's essence to the fullest. 14. You are met by your choice of who you believed in: be it, Jesus, Mohamad, Budda 15. You have an opportunity to stay and be happy or return to life and experience still 16. I sure hope I am ready to stay this time. We have all been pretty patient with you Billhays and don't want to write your OEB or Your questions deal with physical things, not psychic experiences. Simply said, you After careful study I choose the latter. Satire. IP: Logged |
