Lucid Dreaming Experiences- Astral Travel
This morning I planned to get up at 5am to prepare for the gym before work. It was one of the coldest days of the year, a Friday, and since I had already been to the gym several times this week I decided to relax and sleep in.
I then continued to experience some wonderful dreaming. It was complete lucid dreaming for several hours. Complete awareness and conscious dreaming- in and out of different astral universes, alternating between becoming physically conscious of my body and then back through a myriad of different worlds again.
I realized that there is no difference between these infinite astral worlds, and what we call reality here on this planet. It was as real as what we experience as real physical life, only I had a better quality of life. More freedom to manipulate, change and transcend different realities.
I was using a technique called, “quasi-reality”. I have never heard of this term before, and never even heard of the word “quasi” before. I could not wait to Google it when I woke up from my dreaming experience, as the name was somehow intuitively discovered or given during my experience. I did not find much on Google though.
Quasi by dictionary definition means something like, having a likeness/resemblance to reality. But then we have to ask ourselves what is reality? Are we talking about the absolute reality? Is anything in our physical word that we perceive actually reality, or is it just another dream?
Reality is often defined by dictionary definition as, “the totality of all things possessing actuality, existence, or essence”, or “the quality or state of being actual or true”. So maybe God is the absolute reality?
The technique of “quasi-reality” involved being able to manipulate, change and transcend my reality, and move through one level of universe to the other- changing the reality, transcending and traveling through different spheres and experiences whenever and where ever I decided.
It was like shuffling the cards of reality, in search for more bliss, greater spheres of more intense peace, happiness, fun, and adventure- maybe in search of the true reality. At the time I assumed quasi was something to do with the word quarter, as my technique involved dividing and breaking up my perception of reality into four horizontal sections and pulling out one of the sections of a puzzle, which allowed me to manipulate and change my reality for the better, or transcend it into another realm altogether. It was the ability to travel.
I managed to travel and change my experience at ease, and had full control and conscious awareness over my experiences. I went from hanging out with a spiritual friend in a beautiful environment like it was real life, to attending a meeting at a hospital, giving consumer advice to an irate customer, to traveling on a roller-coaster ride, switching environments and experiencing something new whenever I fancied a change using the technique and my body a central hub or base for coming back to physical reality.
I chose to travel into more experiences, searching for greater bliss and peace- and generally had better quality experiences and adventures than my present mundane life here on earth presently has to offer.
In light of all the fully conscious (like being in a fantasy movie) experiences, I realized how much I have allowed myself to become imprisoned in my current state of physical life, compared to all the adventures and freedom out there in real life, away from physical earth. I experienced how my physical life and body is a burden with its limitations of travel, eating and following time (watches) and deadlines that we find in life, and the boring qualities of being in mundane and life situations and wrong jobs.
I nearly laughed to think that my life really is no life at all- I have no real quality of life or adventure and freedom. I have allowed myself to be enslaved, to be a prisoner and a failure, compared to the infinite life out there in other realms and universes, and at some stage perhaps oneness with God and an eternal life in God within realms of love. Referring to my present life I asked myself, “how did I manage to get myself into such mess?”, like being in a prison cell?
But then I realized that this is my lesson, to free myself in this physical life by clearing up my life to become strong and free and live my life how I wish to live it for eternity and to live my life in a way that fulfills all my dreams.
I perceived my physical life to be like a basement full of junk that I need to clean out, which I should give my full attention and efforts to. There should be no avoiding real life lessons. I know what I need to do to progress now and be free- and that is real solid useful physical work.
All these dream worlds and universes, although they were better than my current state of life here, I believe they were still far away from God. Some of the worlds were there to reflect my inner states and ego. They were mirrors of my current problems, fears, and anxieties from within- but in astral realms I had more freedom to live my dreams and create the reality and experiences that I needed and wanted. I had freedom to move on.
It is all about internal development. As I change inside (as I spiritually develop), I believe my reality and environment must also adapt to accommodate my higher vibrations. Or alternately a change of environmental is needed. I change and become higher in vibration until oneness with God.
If astral worlds are the same as this physical world, then maybe I can change my own experience of the physical world in the same way as I did in my dreams?
By shuffling my own cards of reality, by moving to a new country, a new job, a new and different environment, with new people, developing new skills, and having new adventures- then I can progress spiritually like I did in my dreams and clear out my basement of junk and release myself from prison.
I woke up with a new knowledge and happiness about infinity and life. I also realized that our experiences of physical life is often quite ridiculous and wrong, including our “expectations” about anything in life and what might happen in the future or any fears and limitations that prevent a happy and loving existence.
It is also interesting to note, that I once asked a God-realized person if he ever did astral traveling, and he said that he no longer has an astral body. These astral and physical universes may only be for those who still have ego.
Let the deck of life be shuffled.
