think of floating and immediately rise above my body. I’m amazed at the clarity of my thoughts and ponder the meaning of the soldier’s experience. I feel a shift of my awareness and a sense of rapid inner motion. Within seconds, I’m in a completely new environment. I’m seated on a stone floor. All around me are dozens of bald-headed monks sitting in ceremonial meditation. Somehow I know that I’m a Buddhist monk. I can smell burning musky incense and hear bells and rhythmic chanting. Three dozen of us are sitting in a circle around an altar. A thin column of white smoke rises from the center of the altar as a bald-headed boy, about twelve years old, walks around us chanting and swinging a large, ornate incense holder. He appears to be in a trance. I can feel myself rocking gently back and forth as I softly chant a phrase that seems to be a part of me. I and all those around me are wearing orange robes, and as I look down at my hands I realize that I’m very old—my hands and wrists are thin and frail. I am content with my life, completely free of all needs and desires. My mind is at peace. I know I will soon die. With a slight sense of motion I’m back in my bed. Even though I am in my body, I feel completely out of phase with it, as if I’m floating within it. My mind is still focused upon the meaning of the monk experience when I again feel an inward motion. I am incredibly cold. My body and mind are numb. It’s beyond my endurance to endure. All around me are the frozen corpses of my friends and fellow soldiers. The ground is too frozen to bury them, so they lie where they fell. My tank has become an icy tomb. My mind and body are a hollow broken shell of my former self. My will to live is gone. Thirty yards away I see two ragged soldiers pull the boots off a dead man. Beside me, a taunt, nearly lifeless man, a friend of mine, mumbles something to me. I can’t hear him so I lean closer. “For God’s sake, kill me.” I cannot. I lack the courage and the strength to move. The snow is falling again and I know I’ll soon be dead. A pounding sound is heard in the distance; the Russians will be here soon. I feel no fear, no hate—I feel nothing at all. I close my eyes and slip into unconsciousness. Whether these three experiences were past lives or not, I cannot prove. I do know, however, that they were as real and vivid as any physical experience I’ve ever had. It seems wise to remain non-judgemental when we are exploring new dimensions of energy. Our minds have a natural tendency to be influenced by our physical preconceptions of reality. The key to understanding is to remain as open-minded as possible. During the time I was ill, I also began to realize how easily out-of-body experiences can be controlled if we just remember to request clarity on a regular basis. The simple, firm request for clarity of thought and vision has a tremendous effect upon our out-of-body state of consciousness. Repeating the clarity technique, I found it possible to prolong out-of-body experiences for several hours. During my illness I would sometimes amuse myself by moving back and forth between my physical body and my floating non-physical body. While doing this, I discovered an odd state of consciousness that I refer to as dual consciousness, I found that sometimes I was able to shift a percentage of my awareness between my physical and my non-physical body. It’s possible to perceive with both forms simultaneously and to adjust or shift the percentage of our awareness between our bodies. In other words, for brief periods we can simultaneously experience the physical world and a non-physical environment with varying degrees of effectiveness. I also found that it was possible to control the movement of consciousness between the first and second energy-body. By force of will, we can control this shift of awareness; the key is to remain focused and centered and mentally ask to experience the second form. Always remember, once we are no longer attached to a specific form—whether matter or energy—we are free to move beyond it. My interest in physics increased with the number of out-of-body experiences I had. When out-of-body, I would closely observe the energy structures around me. I became fascinated with the non-physical forms and substances I encountered. I recognized that each environment and dimension within the interior of the universe has specific similarities and differences. The most significant difference appears to be the degree of responsiveness to thought of a given non-physical environment. Some non-physical environments are easily molded by thought while others are extremely resistant. I believe that all non-physical energy is thought-responsive; however, when a group of individuals maintains the same image or beliefs, the group creates, molds, and maintains a consensus reality. In effect, group thought-energy forms, stabilizes, and actually solidifies non-physical energy. The larger the group (some number in the millions), the more stable the immediate energy environment becomes. This is an important discovery because it explains the vast differences encountered when exploring the non-physical dimensions. For example, the first non-physical dimension is a parallel energy world almost identical to the physical universe. This dimension of energy existing close to the physical is molded by the consensus thoughts of the six billion inhabitants existing in the physical. The underlying cause of this phenomenon appears to be remarkable: consciousness creates reality. All reality, including matter, is shaped and molded by thought. Creation itself is the result of conscious thought-energy influencing, arranging, and manifesting form and substance as we know it. Countless non-physical explorations into the interior of universe confirm this observation. It’s only the density of matter that obscures the truth of this from our physical senses. In the physical world, consciousness uses biological vehicles for its expression. Our physical bodies are the direct tools of our consciousness; our thoughts direct our bodies to build the reality we experience every day of our lives. This process of consciousness creating reality is more important than words can begin to express. Our recognition of this reality is the first step to true mastery of ourselves and our surroundings. Each of us possesses the creative ability and power to shape and mold his or her ideal physical, emotional, and intellectual surroundings. It is up to us, however, to recognize and implement our creative ability. Our recognition of the creative power of consciousness will dramatically affect both our immediate future and the evolution of our species. Until we truly comprehend and consciously control the unseen energies flowing through us, we will be bound to the dense molecular forms that surround us. Our evolution from a physical creature to a multidimensional, nonphysical being is directly linked to the recognition and conscious control of our thought-energy. Once we truly comprehend 18
