4. The reality perceived in a thought-responsive environment (non-consensus or natural) is determined by the personal energy frequency (density) of the observer and the observer’s prevailing conscious and subconscious thoughts. Because these principles have an overwhelming impact upon what we observe when out-of-body, they should not be underestimated. What we see and experience will be greatly influenced by how we interpret each non-physical environment and react within it. The early out-of-body explorers exemplify these principles in action. In the Book of Revelation, Saint John describes encounters with magnificent cities, angels, and entities on horseback. Five centuries later, Mohammed describes himself as riding a magnificent white stallion through what he called “the seven heavens.” It’s logical that these explorers’ first and fifth-century perceptions of reality influenced what they saw when out-of-body. In other words, our religious history and beliefs were influenced by the way the early prophets perceived and interpreted the nonphysical environments that they experienced. The early observations of all mystics, prophets, and saints were directly influenced by their physical and social preconceptions of reality. Today Mohammed would likely see himself riding in a magnificent white vehicle throughout the energy dimensions of the universe. Instead of Saint John stating in Revelation, “I was in the spirit,” he would likely say, “I was out-of-body.” This knowledge does not diminish the inspired writings of our early spiritual explorers; it only provides additional insight into the unseen meaning of these non-physical explorations. Many of the early spiritual leaders who influenced and molded our major religions were out-of-body explorers. They documented their non-physical journeys in accordance with their cultural perceptions of reality. The Bible is full of statements such as “I was in the spirit,” “You must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven,” “The spirit moved me,” and “Seek ye first the kingdom of God.” These statements are clear references to their authors’ non-physical (spiritual) explorations of the universe. It’s only natural that the early explorers of the non-physical dimensions would call their discovery heaven; it’s certainly a fitting name for a thought-responsive universe overflowing with endless energy levels of beauty and light. Each of us is different, and what we experience when out-of-body will vary according to our social indoctrination and strongly held beliefs. The environments and objects encountered when out-of-body are often perceived through the filters of our mind. It’s essential to remember that any time you are exploring out-of-body, you can ask to see the true energy form of the object or environment you are experiencing. If you become confused or have questions concerning your observations, you can always request clarification. Keep in mind that all form is energy; this applies to all environments, frequencies, and densities within the universe (including the physical). The objects, situations, and environments we perceive are shaped and formed by thought-energy for a specific purpose. Our understanding of this basic energy principle will help us interpret and react to the many nonphysical energy forms we encounter. I have found that self-created non-physical energy forms normally occur in the thought-responsive regions beyond the first non-physical dimension. The first inner dimension is a parallel energy duplicate of the physical world and is a relatively stable energy environment that’s resistant to thought-energy. Generally, perceived energy forms such as multilevel structures, vehicles, or bodies of water are a strong indication that you have ventured inward into the more thought-responsive areas of the multidimensional universe. Guides There are three primary ways to direct and control our out-of-body experiences. One way is to control our conscious thoughts (a difficult endeavor at best); another way is to ask for assistance from a more expansive part of ourselves—our higher-self or soul. The third way is to request assistance from a guide or master with whom we feel comfortable. A guide can be anyone we respect: Jesus, Buddha, Saint Paul, a guardian angel, a saint. When we request guidance, we are often directed to the experience that is the most favorable to our spiritual development. Non-physical guides are seldom visible. Instead we may experience a strong impression or feeling of their presence. In their wisdom they understand that their visual appearance would only distract us from our personal goal. When a guide is present, we often experience a warm feeling of love and security surrounding us. Within ourselves we know that we are being assisted and directed to the ideal experience. The advantages of a guide are numerous. In the higher-frequency worlds our needs are transparent; our state of spiritual development, our inner blocks, limitations, fears, and abilities are clearly evident. A non-physical guide can appraise our developmental needs and assist us to the situation best suited for our evolution. The inner worlds of the universe are larger in size and diversity than our minds can begin to comprehend; unlimited energy levels and realities are available to explore. Without guidance it’s easy to become confused or disoriented within any thought-responsive environment. Unlimited assistance is always available, but it is up to us to make the request. Guides normally will not interfere without a specific request. Clarity One of the best ways to enhance your awareness when out-of-body is to immediately focus and maintain your attention on a single idea or goal. If your attention begins to wander or your vision becomes fuzzy or dreamlike, firmly ask for complete clarity of your awareness. The most effective way of maintaining and enhancing your awareness and control is to request complete clarity of consciousness at the first sign of mental wandering. Requesting clarity of thought is the key to prolonged out-of-body experiences. Using this technique it’s possible to maintain an out-of-body experience for several hours. Every time your mind wanders, simply demand clarity by saying or thinking, “Clarity now!” It is often necessary to demand clarity immediately after separation, when moving to a new nonphysical location, or when traveling between energy environments or dimensions. In the beginning, the easiest way to control and prolong your out-of-body experiences is to acquire the habit of demanding your clarity of awareness every few minutes. Eventually, as you gain experience, the clarity of your perceptions will become increasingly automatic. It’s important for us to recognize that we orchestrate our lives, both physical and non-physical, by the power of our thoughts. When our lives feel out of control, it’s because we have surrendered our internal control to others or have refused to accept our personal responsibility. For many of us, it’s easier to point the finger of blame at others than to 56
