[GJM] Fw: The Importance of the Spiritual, and Psychic....Plus Some Personal Experiences.

[mary rose]

Dear Robert, I particularly want to thank you for sharing some of your
personal experiences.  And, what I want to add to this is that science
is now very much able to put a substantial base under these happenings.

For anyone interested in reading about many of these scientific
investigations into the so-called "Para-normal" may I recommend:

The Intention Experiment - the largest mind-over-matter experiment ...The 
Intention Experiment is a series of web-based experiments with Lynne 
McTaggart and leading scientists around the world to test the power of our 
thoughts ...
www.theintentionexperiment.com/

This website is the outcome of Ms. McTaggart's two books:

"The Field" and "The Intention Experiments.".  For the uninitiated
into the so-called esoteric, I highly recommend these two books as
an introductory self-education course.

By putting a solid floor based in science under these so-called para-
normal happenings and explaining them in easy to understand terms,
Ms. McTaggart has now taken the esoteric into verifiable mainstream
knowledge.

At the same time, we are hearing about the new field of "Epigenetics"
from which we learn, through biological observation, that we are both the
creator and created. Get on board this train with one of the world's top
researchers in this field, highly acclaimed cellular biologist, Dr. Bruce 
Lipton.
www.brucelipton.com   His graphic presentation on the DVD "The New
Biology" is excellent, although all of Bruce's materials are easy to 
comprehend.

This is a "must do" folks, that is, acquainting yourself with this kind of 
material
and getting use to the language because just as we learned how computers 
work,
we are now going to learn how the human system works, not from faith-based
religious institutions, but from a hands-on experiential basis.

So, turn off the television and get busy living life to its fullest.

with love and in gratitude for all that you do Robert, and all
that we do together.

I am holding the field (coherent) for the fullest potential to
unfold in all of our lives now in the best interest of all concerned.

>> patches on the back of his coat. At the same time,I

>>
>> Slowly, but surely he moved towards the corner of the

>> edge of his coat were vibrating furiously, and then,
>> disappearing. Here, I stress the word "parts" as
>> the

>> clammy coldness indicate that such phenomenon have
>> some kind of mechanics yet to be comprehended by

>>
>> I have to admit too that on very rare occassions I
>> sometimes saw the static outline of figures. Whether

>> say with certainty. They seemed to be aborted
>> materializations.
>>
>> In one instance of a similiar phenomenon, I saw the
>> shadow silhouette of a profile of a mans face at the
>> bottom of my bedroom door. It could have come from the
>> light outside but there was no one there! Moreover, it
>> was totally still, and seemingly inexplicable.
>> Ofcourse, none of this compares with the materialized
>> phantom I saw so many moons ago...
>>
>> Morever, this "phantom" was not some replay from
>> the
>> past but rather an "astral shell" I witnessed. In

>> would understand it.
>>
>> There is a strange footnote to this spectral

>> coldness (acting as a warning?)twice just before I saw
>> two fatal road accidents. The most horrendous of which
>> was the one up in the mountains of the Pyrennees in

>> through my "physical" body. On occassions, I
>> would
>> jolt up in the air. Apparently, this may be caused by
>> the astral body returning to the physical body rather
>> quickly!
>>
>>
>> 5. Psychic Healing.
>>
>>
>> It is claimed that everyone is able to develop psychic
>> healing if they wish. I recall once taking a friend to
>> the house of a famous medium on the Isle of
>> Wight(1979). I remember the whole room was saturated
>> with energy, and as I concentrated my mind on the
>> Third Eye the power also centred itself "there!"
>>
>> However, I, myself had a healing which came quite
>> unbidden. I was seated with two Sikh friends who
>> belonged to Eckankar which drew its inspiration mainly
>> from Surat Shabd Yoga but mixed it up with other
>> techniques. I was in a very relaxed state of mind, and
>> I felt myself going into a light waking trance. At the
>> same time, I, and my companions were listening to a
>> tape by the controversial Paul Twitchell who was
>> talking about healing, and being healed! I also became
>> aware of what might best be termed very subtle
>> energies going through me in a most gentle manner.
>> After a short while I came out of this trance, and I
>> looked at one of my Sikh friends who thereupon said
>> "You should say thank you." Clearly, he knew what
>> had
>> happened.
>>
>> Though not related to healing I also had an experience
>> of the Eck Master Darwin Gross. I recall seeing a
>> photo of him printed in a book produced by Eckankar.
>> As I concentrated on it I could full distinct
>> vibrations! Whether this was a trick of the mind, or
>> not is an open question.
>>
>>
>> 6.Synchronicity.
>>
>> Many people have experienced synchronicity, or
>> meaningful coincidences. I have two interesting
>> examples though I have had many others of a less
>> "extraordinary" nature. Odd as it may seem they
>> were
>> both connected with where I was living
>> (1977-1990)which was Stoke Poges, a very posh area
>> just outside Slough.
>>
>> In around 1989 I was making enquiries about possibly
>> interviewing Ma Yogashakti a female guru for Yoga, and
>> Healing magazine (which was later published with
>> photographic material). My contact was with someone
>> who worked at the School of Oriental, and African
>> Studies at the University of London. She supplied me
>> with much useful information, and asked me where I
>> lived. I said Stoke Poges, and she claimed she used to
>> live in Chesham which was fairly nearby. However, it
>> also transpired that she actually had relatives at the
>> Orchard (built in the Edwardian age)which was the
>> house I was living in with mater, and pater!
>> Apparently, as a child she used to stay (or possibly
>> lived there if my memory serves me well!)there, and as
>> proof of these claims she did some photocopies of old
>> photographs from her family albums. This showed the
>> Orchard as it was in the early part of the 20th
>> Century. If I recall rightly, she made the claim that
>> this big house was also originally the place for high
>> ranking military people from British India to stay
>> temporarily when on leave.
>>
>> The other "meaningful" coincidence involved a
>> telephone conversation from someone from a
>> metaphysical society. He claimed he could hear inner
>> psychic sounds at a distance, and they reminded him of
>> the poem by Thomas Grey known as the Elegy. I was
>> amazed by this because he did not know that I was
>> calling from Stoke Poges which was the place where it
>> was actually written! Indeed, there is an actual
>> monument to the Elegy near to the Church where Thomas
>> Grey is buried.
>>
>> Such experiences are common especially in case of
>> those concerned with the search for Truth. They appear
>> to clearly show that the universe at some level is
>> interconnected into a Whole, and that we, ourselves
>> ofcourse are a part of It. Indeed, they also suggest
>> that there is something guiding our lives.
>>
>> In the world of the psychic, and infact, the spiritual
>> there are various "guides" of one sort, or
>> another. I
>> remember a long time ago waking up, and just recalled
>> in a "dream" a mist which seemed to be flattened
>> in
>> part so that strange writing magically appeared by
>> itself. The script may have been Hebrew but it is not
>> possible to say for certain. I heard a voice from the
>> right of me saying that bad actions are good because
>> they could lead to good ones, or words to that effect!
>> In other words, learning via experience which we all
>> do. This may have been some kind of contact with a
>> guide of some degree, or possibly a trick of the mind.
>> However, this experience seemed  real enough, and
>> happened very quickly as I got the impression that I
>> was not meant to be conciously aware of it.
>>
>> The above experiences in this essay are just examples
>> which appear to suggest that there is something more
>> to life. Yet, no doubt, there are many who may read

>> extraordinary happenings. Such material appears in
>> internet forums, specialist magazines, and/or goes

>> other "psychic" notables such as Derek Acorah,
>> and Uri
>> Geller. It is hard to see how sceptics continue to
