In my first two posts on Astral Projection I conveyed a basic understanding of this innate human ability with two very simplistic examples of “Out Of Body Experiences” to provide a basic working knowledge of it’s potential and the fact that there are people who will tell you of one or two experiences they have had in their lifetime, when they have left their bodies only to return to their lives with what seemed surreal.  When you try to convey this experience to others it is always met with fond “I believe you!” type responses, delivered with an underlying disbelief.  And yes, there are those closest to you that will truly believe you’ve had some kind of incredible experience, but people do not wholeheartedly believe what they have not experienced for themselves.  So in this, the third of 5 posts on Astral Projection, I would like to talk about Edgar Cayce, a man that proved to the world over and over again that he could leave his body…….14,000 times to be exact ……..ALL well documented cases ~ where he left his body and returned with information that astounded the world and still does to this day.  At the time, President Woodrow Wilson acknowledged his abilities and personally used his services for healing and guidance during his presidency.  He also credited Cayce with helping him conceive of the idea for “The League Of Nations”.  The NEW YORK TIMES ran several pages of Headlines and Photographs proclaiming him to be “The Worlds Most Mysterious Man”.  He is still considered to be “The Father Of Holistic Medicine” by JAMA the world renowned medical journal.  Cayce learned that when he was hypnotized he could leave his body and learn of people with grave illnesses hundreds of miles away and return with information to cure them ~ curing hundreds of people that doctors had diagnosed as terminal.  His cures are still being used to this day.  His “Otherworldly” journeys were referred to as “Near Death Experiences” because when he astrally projected, the team involved with monitoring his vital signs often recorded his system as near to flat-lining.  He was able to gain massive amounts of information through his practices………information that solved some of the greatest mysteries facing humanity ~ on an amazing amount of subject matter.    There is still an operating Cayce Foundation in Virginia Beach, Virginia where you can peruse his findings on everything from the Akashic Records to reincarnation and much, much, more……….the reason I’m bringing Cayce to your attention is simple………Even though this man proved to the world the potential for Astral Projection……..the world is still unaccepting………there are groups of individuals dedicated to disproving everything about him……..where the glaring fact is….the man went into proven hypnotic trances and returned to cure hundreds of gravely ill people ~ hundreds of miles away ~ people he had NEVER met.   So even faced with proof of metaphysical potential and capability, the public still found a way to rationalize it as an “anomaly” or “strange phenomenon”.  Edgar Cayce is only one of hundreds of cases that proved to be true.  What people with extraordinary metaphysical capabilities have learned from his example is……….to keep it quiet…….to fly under the radar………to educate those who are “ready” to learn………because……..EVOLUTION only works one way………the Edgar Cayce impact occurred over 50 years ago………..the human mind is evolving so much faster than technology today, that there are those who are frightened of the fact.  But the truth is……..there is no stopping evolution, and people with metaphysical capabilities are just now awakening their vestigial abilities…….Astral Projection is not only possible………it’s here……..and it’s here to stay……….if you are reading this……..then you must already know the potential is waiting within you……..you need only help it manifest itself in your waking state……….I am Dartanion2………..and that’s the way I see it…………cheers………T xo

It is in WORDS I find solace for, like Emerson, “The credentials of the poet are that he announces to the world that he is a beholder of the world and an utterer of the “necessary” and the “causal”……….The poet has a new thought, he has a whole new experience to unfold……..the universe is the externalization of the soul…….this insight, which expresses itself by what is called imagination, is a very high sort of “seeing”, which does not come by study but, by the intellect being “where” and “what” it see’s..” ~ These are, of course, the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, one of my favorite writers, and YES the words are a bit out of context but ARE direct quotes from one of Emerson’s essays entitled “The Poet”.
I find that I have lived my entire life based on that Love of language ~ forgetting that which I understood so well as a child………much like Emerson……..that when you resign yourself to your mood ~ and the emotion that drove you to your present behavior, that in THAT moment, that lonely moment, you are creating something new, something never experienced in EXACTLY that way before.  And it is in THAT moment that something, never before felt or seen, is born ~ and THAT thing ~ that brand new thing ~ is organic!  Again, that newly born consideration, is Organic, and it is in that blissful realization where living (being alive) becomes truly worthwhile.  Because it is certainly NOT in money or power……..those things are easily manifested……..just ask Napoleon Hill, he’ll show you the way to those things………NO!! it is not there ~ it’s in the MOMENTS………those moments where, in every persons life, time stands still……..like in a kiss, or in that first step upon the moon, in holding your child for the first time, or in moments of extreme trauma where you find yourself outside of your body!………..Those profound moments that Carlos Castaneda referred to as “Stopping The World” ~ it is in THOSE moments, where time no longer plays a role in being alive ~ many, find their way to those moments through meditation……….spending much of the effort of their lives on focusing and becoming what we refer to as a Shaman ~ but for others, like Emerson or myself, it is found in words ~ in the physical act of putting the words in your mind, down on paper ~ where you recognize that the words have taken you elsewhere ~ where time has stopped and you suddenly realize that an hour has passed by ~ and you were not there to experience it…..because……you have been “elsewhere” ~ conceiving of and experiencing that which cannot be put into words……and you find a beautiful solace in your pursuit of painting, or photographing with words……….I am Dartanion2……….and that’s the way I see it…………..cheers………….T xo

Hi guys….I promised I’d keep you up to date………here’s the latest.  Over the past three weeks I’ve had my stimulator turned off because the stimulation was getting so out of control that it had been giving me electro-stimulation all over my body, which is extremely difficult to bare in so many ways.  For those of you who are not familiar……..my stimulator is implanted on my spine along with a battery that is implanted in my stomach……it was implanted to deliver electro-stimulation to my feet for pain relief.  Since February 15th it has been delivering stimulation to my feet but as time went by the stimulation began spreading.  The shaking eventually began making my legs, arms, chest area and hands shake so I turned it off to stop the shaking.  It feels like the shaking you get when you’re sitting in one of those massage chairs only it’s in your nerves so the shaking is not detectable by human touch it can only be detected by nerve conduction study.  Today I went to the doctor and the shaking in my body was so bad and the pain from the area where the lead lines are attached to my spine so painful that my blood pressure was at 159 over 100………VERY high for me personally.  So when my Doctor (a pain management physician) saw the swelling and the blood pressure numbers he immediately called St. Judes to find a course of action.  The reaction was immediate………if the lead attached to my spine has moved (which is what they are thinking) then we have a SERIOUS problem.  I am scheduled for emergency surgery at 9am tomorrow.  They will X-ray, because you Can’t undergo MRI with this equipment implanted, to see where the lead has moved, I will then be put under anesthesia for a series of injections to help relieve the pain in the back (which was never there before this implant)……If the lead has moved to an area delicate……..I will then have a VERY dangerous spinal surgery to remove the implant.  The implication being that even if the surgery goes well……..it is quite possible that I will be hospitalized to learn to walk again……….we know that the myelin sheath (covering the nerves) is deteriorating so it is also possible that I will wind up in a wheelchair……….somewhere in this entire 18 month process of working on my spine………a mistake has been made………and it seems to be causing great concern on some of the doctors involved………the main doctor who convinced me that this was the right course of action has vanished………just quit with ONE day’s notice………so something strange is going on.  But the worst thing about all of this is that instead of improving my quality of life (pain free mobility the goal) it has made MUCH WORSE………when I awaken in the morning I’m shaking so much that I have to take several different drugs just to be able to get out of bed. Last year at this time, I was taking walks to the beach, several blocks away……….this week I didn’t leave my room, except for the bathroom and food……….and kept my feet elevated 90% of the time……….the shaking gets to you psychologically because you can’t turn it off and being out of control of your body is frightening as hell.  So now my home health care doctor is searching for psychologist to come visit me weekly.  Because it really messes with your head and my mood stabilizers are not quite helping with the depression that comes along with this craziness……….anyway……..that’s pretty much the situation for now……..sorry to be such a bummer……….I just had to get this out……….I’m scared and I’m hoping that all this lead to the place I’ve been searching for, for three years now…………A solid diagnosis so we can fight this, as yet, undefined disease……….C.I.D.P. ,most likely but still boggling the minds of the neurologists………..fingers crossed……..prayer……..and great friends getting me through this…….Thank You All……….you know who you are……..special kisses MOM…………cheers……..T xo

II have thought, on many occasions, to leave my mark upon this world.  And I have been in Love 7 times in my 55 years…….and each time the woman I Loved found me unworthy……although each beginning was filled with feelings of majestic light and significance……each time………my true colors were not enough………..for my heart was never settled…….always more………more to see……..more to experience…….more ways to find God………..I fought with alcoholism and addictions of many sorts……..but none could kill me even though I often wished they would…….but throughout my many experiences……….from Iceland to Jackson Hole…………I did find in this…….my retrospect………that it was truth driving me on………..my sons were my only glory……and yes I was in magazines, tv movies, starring roles of every sort, ……from music to poetry……….but I never found what I was looking for ……..because I was my own worst enemy………always moving……always searching……..skiing the highest mountain tops……….escaping my own fleshly body through altered states of consciousness………even seeing the true pulse of all things………but never enough…….never enough……..my appetite for this life is killing me……..I see that now……..now that I am sick and disabled………but I find that it is an honor to have found my true friends in this life……..and swear upon the holy energy that is this life……that I will NEVER stop …….never give up on that which I know to be the only truth……..we are all energy evolving……..and the things we do in this life…..the actions we take………..echo……….never die……….and truly matter in the face of evolution……….for the only truism I have been able to find is that……..to love and be loved matters……..but not as much as the recognition that we are all contributing to with our life experiences……to something much greater than our little lives……..and that truth can be found………in the ever evolving nature of ALL things……..energy leads to the understanding of all things………and that we are all a part of that most amazing perfection……..T

People have asked me many times, ” Why aren’t you afraid of technology?”………and my answer is always the same.  The human mind is evolving so much faster than technology that I can’t see a reason to fear that which has been occurring on this planet for longer than humankind has been here.  People are always finding new ways to war with one another.  To find ways to protect themselves and that which they personally find dear to them……but there will come a day when warring amongst ourselves becomes much less important.  Right now there many who are VERY afraid of what technology is doing to this planet……..and there are many who believe that technology will be our savior………there is always black and white, good and evil, life and death……..there always will be.
Right now there are many companies and governments and privateers making gigantic leaps in a myriad of areas.  An example:  Deep Mind Technologies are fast tracking “Reinforcement Learning” with experts in machine learning of imagery and robotics in attempts, and the inevitable manifestations of “cybernetic friends” that can listen in on your phone conversations, read your emails, and even track your movements if you personally program them to do so ……….the idea being that it will be able to tell you things to your advantage before you even ask it……there are many obvious benefits to this type of technology………”RobotEnomics” is on the horizon and there is no stopping it ~
There is a school of thought that says that since computers, over the past 50 years, have shrunk from the size of a building to the size of a cell-phone………that entire libraries of books can fit onto a tiny chip…………that this reinforces the idea that we are reducing the physical space that separates us from each other and the world around us……….and that as that new closeness and understanding grows smaller…………that the essence of the  biblical “Love thy neighbor as thyself” begins to take on it’s true meaning………..and that the secret to global and personal transformation lies in nanotechnology for the soul.  Nanotechnology is the control and manipulation of matter on the atomic level and what is “strangely” interesting is that spiritual men, as well as scientists all over the world, are hailing it as a means for spiritual connection and higher consciousness.
My humble opinion is that ALL of the rapidly growing technology and genetic manipulation going on in the world today is so far behind the evolution of the mind that isn’t even recognizable yet ~ because the words haven’t been invented yet to describe the capabilities of the mind.  My personal experiences have shown me that the human mind can manipulate technology (hands off) of any kind.  That a person with advanced Metaphysical capabilities cannot be tracked by technology.  They cannot even be recognized by technology because a person with advanced metaphysical capabilities has no desire for attention of any kind. They are healers and teachers and remain forever in the shadows ~ doing good deed~ and good deeds only….because it is impossible to wield these capabilities without faith…….it requires a leap of faith to jump into the abyss and survive.  Once that leap of faith is taken .and the ability to heal or manipulate technology at will manifests…..then…..the desire to change the natural course of human evolution is removed…….because faithis ultimately tied to the search for God……..and understanding where we ALL come from……and the actions of men (good or bad) becomes irrelevant…….what becomes singularly important is to wield extreme gifts from the universe to promote the search for ultimate understanding in those who cross your path……..and even though you may have the ability to prevent a war or inhibit an evil doer ……it does nothing to help the natural evolution or natural order of things.  The human mind is evolving so much faster than technology……that when technology is in the hands of people with extreme metaphysical capabilities …….then…….humanity stands a chance of survival………until then………the world will become an extremely dangerous place to live……..I am Dartanion2……..and that’s the way I see it……….cheers…….T xo
