meadow. I feel somewhat confused by the rapid change of surroundings and spontaneously call aloud, “Where am I?” I suddenly feel the presence of someone close by, and a series of vivid pictures enters my mind. “You have raised your vibrational rate when you asked for lightness and again when you asked for clarity. You have entered a higher-frequency environment that is very close to the physical.” I’m amazed at the clarity of the images entering my mind. It’s difficult to describe, but they’re visual representations of ideas—nor words. The communication is far more direct and precise than words. I understand the meaning and look for the source, I can feel the energy radiation of someone directly in front of me but can see nothing. Out of curiosity I call out, “Who are you?” Again the images stream in my mind. “I’m an old friend who is observing your progress. “ The feelings instilled in the images are warm and friendly. I’m completely at ease and firmly make a request, “I want to see you.” I watch in amazement as the hazy outline of an image appears. A transparent hologram of a man becomes increasingly dense before me. He has dark hair and a short beard and wears a long purple robe. He’s about five-feet-ten-inches tall, and a broad smile radiates from his face. At first I’m startled by the reality of his rapid materialization, but he seems to sense my discomfort and a series of comforting images appears in my mind: “No need for fear. You and I are old friends.” I somehow sense his friendship and calm down. As I stare at this man, he seems pleased to see me. He seems to know my thoughts and responds to the questions that fill my mind. “I’m just as you; the only difference is I don’t possess a physical vehicle. “ “We are friends from long ago and have worked together on numerous projects within the interior... You and I have explored far beyond the second membrane. Now you are exploring the dense region again... You have a strange fascination with the physical, one that I don’t share.” There is a brief pause as my questions form. “I’m acting as one of your guides. You have several different individuals assisting you in different aspects of your life. In a way, each person assisting you is a specialist in a given area of existence. You and I love to explore inward, so I am here to assist in that part of your life... You were correct in your conclusion: a guide would never interfere in the natural evolution of an individual’s personal development. We realize that we must remain unobserved unless assistance is requested. Even then, we must appraise the situation and its consequences before we act. My mind is overflowing with endless questions. The being before me seems to understand and anticipate my thoughts. His calming thought-images pinpoint specific questions as he continues. “Each person who has an out-of-body or near-death experience has a guide present during the experience. Assistance is always available but it must be requested… There is nothing to fear, but many are still unaware that their thoughts manifest their reality. As you now know, this can happen instantly. The end result can be startling to the novice explorer. Most physical inhabitants possess little control over their thoughts.” After a brief pause, he continues. “As you are learning, thought control and focus are absolutely essential. This is especially true as you explore deeper within the interior of the universe. Your control is getting better, but you still have fears to overcome... You felt your fears when I became visible to you; I could tell that you were wobbling in your energy field and close to re-entering your body... Always remember, when we conquer our fears we gain our liberation… Very shortly, you will experience some new ways to confront your fears, both in the dense body and in your higher-frequency bodies. Each experience will serve a purpose; each obstacle is a blessing in disguise.” At that instant I snap back into my physical body and open my eyes. I feel like I’m being prepared for something to come, but I don’t have a clue what it could be. I feel a strange sense of friendship with this man. I sense his positive intentions and feel somehow more prepared to face the unknown. His last images echo in my mind: “Each obstacle is a blessing in disguise.” I can’t help but wonder if he’s explaining my past or preparing me for my future. As I review this experience, I can’t help but notice some similarities between my non-physical friend and the guide described in Paul Twitchell’s books. Even though the two resemble each other, it seems unlikely that they are the same person. Over the years, I have met several out-of-body explorers who have described a similar-appearing non-physical guide. The reason for this is unknown, but I wonder whether our existing concept of a non-physical guide or event may influence what we experience when out-of-body. Journal Entry, January 3,1987 I feel the vibrations and lift out. I’m standing in my bedroom and, looking around, I see that the surroundings are similar but not exact. The woodwork and walls are different from those of my physical home. I move to the door and step through it. Instantly, I’m in a new environment. A woman that I somehow seem to know approaches me. She’s tall, with long brown hair and sparkling eyes. She steps close to me and smiles, “I’ve missed you.” Spontaneously I respond, “Me too.” She kisses me and warmly takes my hands. Suddenly, we’re in another environment. A magnificent parklike setting comes into focus. We stand together at the edge of a crystal blue-green pond. Everything around me—the trees, the grass, the pond—are vibrantly alive. As I look at the woman, an intense feeling of love swells inside me. She stares at me and holds both my hands. “You travel so much. I need you here.” I hold her close. “I’m here now. Her face and body seem to shine like ten thousand points of light. We kiss and a surge of energy floods into my mind. Our bodies and minds come together in an intense explosion of pure energy and joy. Our thoughts merge and touch one another in a thousand subtle ways. I feel immersed in her mind as she and I become as one. The ecstasy is beyond words. For the first time, I feel complete and whole. I think to myself, My God, I don’t want it to end. With a jolt, I’m snapped back into my body. My entire being seems to vibrate at a lighter, finer level than I’ve ever known before. Even my physical body feels different—somehow brighter, lighter, and energized beyond my conception. I lie in bed and enjoy the waves of energy that flow throughout my body and mind. The sensations last for several minutes. I remain still and enjoy every moment. For many weeks after this experience, I pondered its meaning. Was this sex in the inner worlds or was it a unification of my conscious mind with a higher aspect of myself? I feel that I should know the answer, but I don’t. 11
