First Thoughts

January 1, 1997
3:17am

As I sit here in my not-so-comfortable chair and reflect on this new year, I just have to say WAAHOO! I just got back from traveling a few minutes ago! How could I possibly start off any better than that? Although a visit from Publisher's Clearing House would be nice too.


This particular travel was initiated by visualizing the front door of my home. More specifically, my primary focus was the peep-hole in the front door.

In my visualization, I "looked" down my darkened hallway. I could "see" the light shining through in one small circle. I reached for that point and that light, both drawing it to me and allowing myself to go to it. And before I knew it, I had collided with the front door. (More like a BMMMFFMP! than a WHOMP!)


And while we're here at the front door, please allow me to elaborate upon a few points of physical and nonphysical interaction (I'm gonna anyway, so you may as well play along).

Under normal circumstances, when you travel, you will not feel any discomfort from slamming into or through a physical object. Oh sure, it can be jarring the first few times but no worries, ay? (Uh oh, aussie kicking in.) It's not like a physical gutzer. And that's the dinkum. Okay, I'll stop.

There are two reasons you may encounter something (like your physical front door) blocking your way:

1. Your nonphysical is vibrating very close to that of the physical environment.

2. You may have a bit too much "you" with you. In the most general sense, you have brought along some of your physical density as you travel.

Either situation is easily overcome by a strong desire to get past the physical object. It is this focus that triggers an increase in the speed at which you vibrate, and reduces the amount of density you're hauling with you.

I'll break it down one step further (for those of you studying along at home:). The focused desire, to pass through the physical object, triggers a chain reaction of events.

Start. You are out of your body. You encounter a door. You desire to pass through the door. It feels "solid" (due to the reasons I have just covered). You WANT to get through the door! Your demand triggers an increase in your vibrational speed (beyond that of the slower vibrating physical object). You lose your excess physical-density (as this increased vibe-rate can no longer support the "weight"). You slide easily through the denser and slower vibrating door (or whatever:).


So, realizing that I was bringing too much "me" along for the ride, I increased my vibration and plowed through the door. Then, I changed my mind (I'm fickle). I went back through the door and down the hall. I skinnied by the screen, and went out to the balcony. I dangled my "legs" over the side of the railing.

And then, in true nonphysical fashion, I pushed from my perch and floated slowly, the long way down, to the path below. And that, my friends, is worth the price of admission all by itself.

Short of space-walkin' (I'm waiting for the call, NASA), travelin' is as close as it gets. Although you may never be chosen for a shuttle mission (sorry, I am not giving up my seat), you can still enjoy weightless delights. Oh. And you don't have to drink Tang.


Following my leap to the path, I went here and there and did this and that. Yawn. Ya think I'd bore you with my whole night's adventure? As if. Besides, then I'd stray from my point. Whatever that was.


Attitude Is Everything

I grant you, not everyone who thinks of their front door is going to leave their physical body. But still, I'm not oh-so-special. Although, it does help to have traveled a few hundred times (I'm above 15 now), you too have an excellent chance of traveling. Because, with some methods, it makes no difference whether you have traveled once, many times, or never.


Small-Spot

A "small-spot" is any sight, sound, smell, or taste that would normally cause you to perform a physical action. However, when you attempt to travel, your relaxed night-time nature will trigger your small-spot to its action, nonphysically.

In my earlier example, it was my front door's eye-glass. I have looked through that tiny, circular piece of glass many times. I focused on that small area shining through in the dark, and the connection pulled me out to go looking through it again. This, of course, is a small-spot "sight" example.

In your thoughts, you re-create the sight, sound, smell or taste that you associate with an action.


Let's think up a few small-spots, shall we? It should be lots o' fun. (Or perhaps only moderate o' fun, but what else have you got better to do?)

As you read mine, think of a "small-spot" that should work for you. Later, as you move towards the awake/sleep line, stay focused on your small-spot.

Mail Call

The small-spot might be your mail-flag out on the box. Whenever you have seen that flag before, you have gone to get the mail. So now, "see" it in your thoughts. See, the flag just popped up...

Me (shouting from the couch, where I am like vegetation):
"Looky see the mails here Sassafras. I can sees that ol' flag as clear as day. Best be thinkin' on gittin it. Don't take dogs and cats writing novels to see that the mails here."

Whos Come A Callin'?

The small-spot may be a "knock" upon your door. You can hear that, can't you? That's your front door. Listen for it. Knock knock knock. You better go take a look.

Hey, What The?

You ever notice how the phone always rings, just as you find a moment to relax? Well disconnect that dangblasted thing and "listen" up.

You can use that annoying ring as the small-spot. "Hear" it ringing in your focused thoughts and go to answer it. Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring (I can keep this up a long time folks. Ya better go answer the phone.) Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring.

Shutup, Sit Down

Or perhaps you "hear" your spouse's whiny voice calling to you from the next room. Or you "hear" your mom and dad shouting for you to come get your hair cut. (Don't bother going to these two small-spots.)

Lovin' From The Oven

"Smell" that cake? Your fresh baked goodies must be done. Take a deep breath. Umm. There are pies and cookies and tarts and doughnuts too! Let's get to the oven for a "taste" Betty Crocker.


Good traveling to you in the new year, my friends. Turn on your images to see an oh-so impressive trumpet-tooting picture.


As always, please write regarding your questions, attempts and successes.
