Meditation Within Eternity

[Mahakali]

This is a self imposed prison or a self imposed learning experience. The way you see things depends upon you. The funniest part is just like minyutar said, You are already manifesting your reality. simple as pancakes. However the problem is that, what your manifesting would be considered the future, and what you choose presently, will then be your "future." Here the secret to manifesting is not just direct will power. It is accomplished and understood through self awareness. Realize and see that yes this is all my doing, I am the one who made that choice. I am quite sorry to say for your sake, that the so called good guys would never use manifesting in the terms that you speak. I am not trying to be rude, but the want to manifest every want at thought, would not be healthy for a lot of people. Also my opinion is that your unhappiness does not stem from lacking "control" in your life. Look outside, look at the sunshine and all the beautiful life. Can you see the creators love? Can you feel its kiss in the wind? The moment is already perfect. Happiness does not rest within materials. It rest within the heart of all.

I always burn pancakes.

If the prison is self-imposed, then why are there guards and a giant fence to keep you from getting out? I should be able to choose something else if this is only making me worse. This planet is almost exclusively not a positively-oriented one, I think.

So if the good guys aren't trying to make life more enjoyable for all, what exactly ARE they trying to do?

There may be some truth to that, but it has more to do with being closer to the deeper mind (subconscious) than it does the fact of being out of body. In our waking daily life, it is almost like we are focusing through an abstraction of consciousness -- what some might term the "outer ego". So when you dissociate from the physical sensory apparatus you naturally come "more into yourself". But this same degree of increased communion with the deeper mind occurs during the hypnagogic and hypnopompic states of consciousness. The astral can be somewhat abstract, but it doesn't have to be. It could be argued that what we experience on the 3rd density physical level is an abstraction of "actual red ray consciousness" (that is to say "actual physicality") which, I assure you, is quite different from how a 3rd density being interprets physicality. In other-words, seeing red ray through the interpretative lens of red ray consciousness is much different than the abstraction of seeing red ray from the interpretive lens of yellow ray identification. 1st density beings see physicality with less distortion than a 3rd density being does. We just see the abstraction of the more native and primal reality.

Do you think that the soul creates the physical body, or that the physical body creates the brain?

When we go "out-of-body", are we really going out of body, or are we projecting something outwards from our brain?

Is the subconscious a physical part of the brain, or is it something else that is simply connected to certain parts the brain, and has its primary existence elsewhere?

So can experiences in trance seem as real as the waking world? Or in deep meditation? And will you remember them when you come back?

They can, but only with practice. Lucid dreaming is a thing, too. Dream diary will get you there (because you have to learn how to remember first).
