The Merkabah
This drawing was done a few days before my first controlled out of body experience (OBE).
Notice the opening and the balance of the whole drawing. We can see a birdbath or a water fountain (the Grail?) at the center. The tails of the two birds on the side, become palms/wings of the clown's face, at the center. Thus, the birds become the wings on the hat of Hermes , the Messenger of the Gods. The clown figure emphasizes, I believe, the
illusionary nature of the Holographic Universe.
Sideways, we can see a flying animal (or capsule) which has legs appearing as half wings and half palms. Images of flying vessels appeared very early in my work, especially when the sketches were turned around and seen from a reverse perspective (which is what drew my attention to this concept- of flying- in the first place.
Two days after this drawing, I had my first controlled OBE. I already mentioned that about 25 years ago, I suffered from night paralysis. During a whole month, I woke up every night, and felt totally paralyzed. I was very aware that I was out of my body. There were also other beings around me, growling and wanting to have sex with me. Theses moments were terrifying. I was so terrified that I had a hard time to go to sleep. I did a certain ritual to stop my second body traveling (at least consciously) at night. Whichever ritual I performed, does not really matter. Whatever symbols, prayers, dances or whatever is being used in a ritual only work if the person believes in it (if one has faith that it will work, it works: crosses, prayers, crystals...). It is the emotion, behind the ritual, that counts. Also by the time I sealed my body against these night excursions, I also knew how to protect myself as I entered the astral planes. Though I did not know, then, that these night excursions could bring me to incredible places and that they could be a path of spiritual acceleration.
I read about a month ago that the sounds, the tremors, the vibrations are precursors to OBE. I was surprised but then with the new information I was willing to experiment. I decided to face my night terrors for one main reason: I want answers. I read the following books: '"Adventures beyond the body" and "The Secret of the Soul", by William Buhlman, and "Astral Dynamics, by Robert Bruce. In them, the reader can find all the knowledge and tools necessary for O.B.E. The beauty in this path is that it is accessible to everyone. All we need is a bit of motivation and persistence in order to access an incredible world of wisdom, beauty and answers to our questions.
My first controlled O.B.E. was smooth and gentle (I needed that). I woke up in the astral world . No vibration, no sound. As soon as I woke up, I knew I was in another plane of existence because of my previous experiences. So I pulled my second body out of my physical one. I could see the white bluish energy like features of my arms as I was pulling them out of my body. I separated easily and went right to see my dog. I could see his second body laying on the side of its physical self. Somehow, it was a bit different than his regular body. The black and white markings were different. I did not pay attention to this matter, having read that the astral planes are not necessary an exact replica of our physical world. In any case, the puppy seemed surprise to see me and a bit confused and worry about my being there there. So, I turned myself around and decided to go through my door. I had planned to fly to the summit of a mountain nearby my house. As I crossed the door, I tightened my body as if I were ready for an impact. However, I crossed with no problem. Outside, the air was cool but not cold. There was a very light snow falling. The night was so peaceful and beautiful. I focused onto the peak I wanted to reach. I flew. I started picking up speed. So I asked to slow down because of my fear of height (I have a very bad vertigo problem). So I slowed down a bit but then my body turned around, and I started flying on my back, and started falling. At that moment, a huge hand grabbed me by the waist and held me back. I recognized the being. Twenty ears ago, I woke up during one of my O.B.E. I was flying. I became scared because I was flying at an incredible speed and my body was swaying from one side to the other. I had no control. So I asked for help. I recalled this giant being (which I have never seen) coming at my rescue. He picked be up in his arms, and slowly brought me back into my body. I woke up as soon as my feet touched my bed. This being was the same one I had encountered years ago. Even though, I could not see him though, I recognized him right away and thus, I was not afraid. I let go. At the moment when I let go, the hand transformed into a huge roller coaster (I hate them) and I went down and down. I started screaming, but as I reached the bottom of the rail (with all the sensation in the stomach which go with the ride), I laughed out loud. Spontaneous and free. Afterward, I found myself hovering midair. I felt a pull in my back, which is a sign telling me that it is time to return. I gratefully thanked the "guide" and return to my body. I woke up with a light tingling through my entire being and a great sense of serenity.
The best thing however, is that the next day, I realized that my vertigo has been cured of at least 8o%. Even to climb onto a chair was a trial for me: my legs would start tremble uncontrollably because of my fear of height. It is thus normal that at my first O.B.E., my vertigo would be the main problem to be worked on. I read that we can resolve many deep fears and issues, through astral projecting, in a relative short period of time. Well, I guess I am a believer. Astral projection could be used as an accelerated spiritual path of evolution. With it, we can increase, in a very short amount of time, our own frequency and consequently, the frequency of the earth- which we definitively need for our survival. In any case, I can go up onto brick walls, climb and reach much greater heights I have ever been able to, and I am not afraid....
