Spaced, thank you so much. You have given me quite a bit to think about. All great stuff. I greatly value your insight and opinion and would like to respond to them.
1) The starless gateway- when it happened I specifically remember taking notice that it was a counter clockwise rotation. In the few experiences like yours, controlled meditative OBE, the gateway spins clockwise when the story teller has the presence of mind to add such a detail. I’m fascinated by this. I wonder, and this is only my thought, I’m not a physicist or a meta-physicist, if it has to do with the polarity of the force behind it. I’m thinking of it like the Coriolis Effect that determines cyclone spin direction in the northern and southern hemispheres. Not to be confused with the spinning of toilet water down the drain that I just learned was a myth a few minutes ago. Haha. The more you know. OR, maybe it’s not the force behind the gateway that determines the spinning, maybe it’s the force within us positive or negative. Again I’m not a meta-philosopher. Perhaps it is as simple as position and perspective and dependent on which side we were standing on. Lots of interesting ideas.
2) The fact that the gateway was in front of the TV and the statement “that’s where people go when they give up.” I wonder if that’s where the focal point of energy was in the room. It was plugged in but not on. It was on the center of the wall and the darkest spot in the room. Now the obvious, I like the quote from the movie Gladiator- “The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the Senate; it's the sand of the Colosseum. He'll bring them death and they will love him for it.” – Senator Gracchus. Equate that to the role of TV and it just about sums it up I think. As a society our sickness runs deep. When we lose balance in our life it’s another habit or addiction, a means of escape. Self-medicating a spiritual malady. You know this as well as I do. Look at what sells, the people tune in to negative news so that is what is produced. If I watch the news all day I’m not left feeling better about humanity. I think to myself, “We’re all going to die down here.” I won’t even discuss reality shows. Now be it “supply and demand” or “the chicken and the egg” in the end the accountability is on the individual as it always has been. Influence is just that, and my free will grants me the power to decide what I choose before actions and results ensue. I stay vigilant over my thought-life in regards to what I watch and maintain balance through that awareness. All pretty basic life lessons I think.
3) As for the “reptile” there is a lot of information there. It’s going to take a while to process and comprehend the information on archons but I am deeply grateful to you for the links. It is a research I have been putting off for 13 years out of fear of what I might discover. What I really don’t want to learn is that THAT is my higher self. I really want the good guy to win here.
4) The old man and the angel. The idea that the old man is my higher self is a completely new revelation. As I sit here now at 32 years of age I can look back and say that I have never once imagined myself old. I’m shocked I have even made it this far in most aspects. Thinking of all the “close calls” makes me hear my grandmother’s voice say, “God has a plan for you.” The angel being one of my guides makes perfect sense assuming that’s how you intended the roles to be assigned. If the old man is one of my guides and the angel is my higher self….. I’m not sure I’m ready to really go down that thought process. I would feel grandiose and beyond my station of understanding.
In response to “How has your life changed since the experience?” I can’t count the ways. It’s immeasurable. But it is the base for the continuation of my story. I will be writing it over the weekend so expect to see something on here by Monday. I’m really excited about it. Again thank you all, so much for being here, with me now. Im thinking about a quote from Mark Twain- “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't. “
I’m off to go to an art show tonight on old route 66 in Amarillo. Really excited and hoping for inspiration to strike for my writing task this weekend. Much love and much light to all of you, my brothers and sisters. Oh and thanks Rie for the astrological chart. That was incredible. It really nailed some specifics about me.
