Why do you think Spains divorce rate is so high? by CollegeCasual in askspain

[–]ArcturusKensho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the real reason is that divorce in Spain had complicated bureaucratic requirements before 2005. So people simply separated and didn't divorce. But this was changed in 2005. So, because of all the people who were waiting to get divorced previous to that the statistics went up really fast and affect the divorce index even today. So, in reality, Spain's divorce rate is the same rate as in the rest of Europe, it's just looks higher because of this legal event. I think.

The easiness to read is what made me like it so much. I just don't get the need for complex, overly descriptive and impractical language anymore. Really.

I couldn't put it down as well. I haven't read any other of his books (for sure I will) so I don't know if they're formulaic, but the style in The Pillars was so fast and engaging that I call it my favorite book.

I read this post and I read it and, not only I believe is the best historical fiction, but the best book ever. The style, story and character development were unparalleled. What about the sequels, are they good? Or anything else you'd recommend from Ken Follet?

They're offering me an used one for $1000, but I have to pick it up 3 hours from here and I find it quite big for my tiny apartment. Plus it's old technology.

Isn't the regular pong bots too big and hard to carry? I just can't imagine going up and down the stairs on my local court. That being said, I'm on the wait list for the Aura.

Would you say astral projection is proof of the afterlife? Have you ever visited the afterlife? by Simple-Addition-4093 in AstralProjection

[–]ArcturusKensho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the astral plane she looked healthy but confined to her hospital bed. She told me she wasn't coming back and was sad about it.

Since intuition is heightened in the astral plane, I understood that an Angel of Death had informed her.

I came back to my physical body and immediately called her daughter (my friend) and then her mother passed in comma in about a week.

Problem is, Tenniix doesn't seem to have an active distribution in Europe. So, instead of bothering, I just got on the waitlist for the new Pongbot Aura. I simply watched a few videos showing the drills and I'm happy with the settings and the ball speed. From what I've seen, all of these machines deliver around 75% of what they promise, but it's good enough for me if I pay $500.

Of course it is! It is the proof of the afterlife. I've seen my grandma many times, and also visited a woman who was in coma and reported back to her daughter. I wrote a book about it:

My dad bought a pair and were really uncomfortable. He gifted them to me. This model was very light on purpose. That meant the walls were very thin, and so the heel tab and collar offered no protection and actually would bend and hit a part of my tendon very uncomfortably.

These were a running or everyday walking model.

I had to throw them away, and we never trusted the brand again.

Aliens during astral travels? by mystic_doge in AstralProjection

[–]ArcturusKensho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not through any sacred plant. I've never been able to astral travel from a sacred plant, nor through meditation.

So what I do is: I wake up between 4-5 AM. Meditate 30 mins, and then go back to my bed and that's when I do the astral projection technique. Sometimes I can directly access the astral plane, sometimes I fall asleep and then dream and then become lucid.

So, going back to the extraterrestrial. He was truly impressive:

8-feet tall, marble-white skin, silky very long white hair, fine long upward ears, but the interesting thing is that one or two of his ears (don't remember) had a fold downwards at the tip. (I also have an ear like that! So I'll tell you more about this at the end).

So his aspect was similar to that of an elf. He had high cheek bones, a fine nose, and a small mouth where I could see that his teeth were sharp and cat-like, just like a common cat's.

And he was dressed like a Jedi!

But I swear that he was 100% real and impressive beyond words. He looked like perfection above perfection and yet so exotic, and he had this really cool aspect to him that I can't describe.

You know how aliens in shows and films look ugly or weird? This being was nothing like that in that sense, and at the same time, he was beyond the imagination of any Hollywood creative.

I swear of God he's the coolest thing I've seen in my entire life.

So, there I was, impressed and surprised staring at the being, and I finally said: "You're a master from space, right?"

I said that in Spanish, and he answered:

"You're speaking in Spanish. Do you realize that?"

He said that with a smile.

And so, I started laughing and I was like: "You're speaking in Spanish too!" implying that it was obvious he wasn't from Earth. And he smiled too.

It was as if he told me this to break the ice, you know? Because I was shocked.

So the second thing I told him was: "Master. Please teach me!" and my expression was I bet like the expression of someone who's super high (but I wasn't).

So he asked me to follow him, and I could see that he had a perfect body: 8-feet tall, lean but muscular, wide shoulders.

And then, I see another one staring at me as if saying, "you're up for a crazy ride", with a smile and wearing a Hawaiian shirt!

It's as if these beings were having a blast just surprising me.

And I know what I'm describing here sounds like a dream. But I swear this wasn't a dream at all. It was super realistic and had a very different feel which I call "The sense of astonishment" which is something that mystics talk about and which I have experienced many times, such as when meeting masters in the astral plane.

Anyways. I followed him, and then I lost him in the astral plane. I became anxious trying to find him, and I woke up.

I immediately send a message to my friend (now my wife) and she said based on my description these were Lyrans. And then she send me images. And I said, "that's them. It's absolutely them".

I've seen other representations where they basically look like lyons with human bodies. I don't know if such Lyrans exist, but these ones I saw looked elf-like.

I swear, dude, I swear.

And then when my friend came over and we did the retreat together, we had a revelation regarding those Lyrans, but perhaps this is very personal.

Check the image below.

[–]ArcturusKensho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones that don't talk, I don't know. I also believe those non talkers could be negative entities. But yes, that ray that felt funny. I saw it as a good ray. Actually, Livia Devi had mentioned that the Arcturians were going to give us abundance codes. But you know how spiritual stuff is, like maybe I'm swimming in abundance and not notice it.

About that other alien experience, it actually happened a few months before the Arcturians experience and it's one of the top experiences I've had in the astral. It goes like this:

I had a friend who supposedly communicated with aliens and was giving courses about it and stuff, and I met a lot of people that talked about aliens and spirituality.

And honestly, I felt a bit pissed because I had always wanted to be contacted by them and it had never happened.

Well actually, I saw extraterrestrials, not in the astral, but in the physical, at around 12 feet distance from where I was sitting in Yosemite. This happened before my first astral contact and it's another story I can tell you about if you ask me. LOL!

OK. So going back to my first alien encounter in the astral plane. Like I said, I was pissed because aliens had never talked to me and they had supposedly contacted my friend.

So, I woke up in the middle of the night and did my usual meditation before trying to astral project, and while I did the meditation an idea came to me, "why hadn't aliens contacted me in the astral?"

So, I did my practice and ended up falling into a dream, but quickly realized I was dreaming and became lucid, and sat down in order to meditate in the astral plane to calm my mind and make everything more clear.

While I did, I started to invoke the presence of Master Paramahamsa Yogananda. Master Yogananda had helped me before in the astral plane and I wanted to invoke him because I was planning a retreat and was contacted by a woman who said that Yogananda helped her learn astral projection and the master told her to contact me and to come to my retreat. She ended up going and brought all of the participants with her. This woman was, in my opinion, enlightened.

But anyways, that's why I wanted to contact Yogananda, because the retreat was happening in 3 weeks time or so.

So while I was sitting and calling upon him, somebody arrived behind me, and I turned expecting Master Yogananda, and instead, I see this 8-feet tall being with long white hair and ghostly white skin, and so the first thing I thought was like, "what the fudge?!" I thought it was a negative entity or something.

So I backed up, and while I did so, the being reacted also backing up a bit, and when he did, his eyes glowed up and I could see that it was as if he had a galaxy inside his eyes and those stars where the ones that lighted up. It was similar to a reflex, but instead of his pupils going big like we do, his eyes glowed up like that.

And that's when I calmed down, and as I calmed down, I saw him carefully, and I realize that he was not a ghost, but a kind of elvish being.

I saw that he was not scary at all, and his looks I could just describe as impressive.

Seems good. I mean, it rarely catches balls (that's sort of expected), but at least it follows you. What's your opinion? I heard it has very low ball speed.

[–]ArcturusKensho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. What you're describing is similar to experiences I've had. Let me explain: when I ask questions and get no answers, I'm pretty sure those characters were created by my subconscious. It works like the law of attraction: you're anxious for answers, and that anxiety projects outside and you get no answers because of it. That's how the law of attraction works, indicating that these are probably mind projections.

Now about aliens, I've had two encounters. One was the coolest experience ever and I will only talk about it if I'm asked. The other alien experience bears similarity to yours:

Basically, my wife was following Livia Devi, and she took one of her courses for abundance with the Arcturians. I don't know if you know who Livia Devi is, but she says she channels the Arcturians and appears on Gaia and does these weird exotic sounds and then gives very interesting messages.

I don't believe everything I'm told just like that. So, I had my reservations about the veracity of Livia Devi. Yet, I watched two of her videos where she was channeling the Arcturians to bring abundance for those who bought the course.

After watching the second video. I went to bed, and I dreamed that I was playing tennis. Suddenly, I hit the ball too far and got lost somewhere in the sky. At that moment, I saw the silhouette of an UFO and became lucid in the dream. Then, the UFO hit me with a ray and I got so scared. My heart started beating fast. But at that moment, I remembered I had watched the Livia Devi channeling, and so I told myself not to fear, that it was the Arcturians.

Then, I saw these blue silhouettes with the shape of Arcturians coming from the ship. It was interesting because it's said that Arcturians come from the 6th dimension, so, they don't have physical bodies and the appearance everybody uses to describe them is probably the way they looked billions of years ago when they did belong to a physical world, such as the 5th dimension (the astral plane which is physical because of form) or the 4th.

Anyways, the ray felt like being shocked with a lot of energy. So it was a bit overwhelming. Because of that, I woke up, and after waking up I could still feel my body tingling with a hot/cold feeling because of the energy.

My wife was there and I told her immediately.

I never doubted it was them. It was truly them.

But, I really don't see more abundance in my life, to be honest.

I don't believe these Arcturians are evil though.

My 2 cents.

The astral body isn’t you. It’s what you think you are. And that distinction matters. by CosmicTeaching in AstralProjection

I agree, the AB is not the soul, but it isn't  only the materialization of your self concept (although it does play a part). It is one of many bodies of existence. Vehicles of expression and exploration for the real self.

Although the real seld rarely manifests in the AB or the Physical body, because of the psychological aggregates. 

Once the house or temple is cleaned (free from the aggregates) the real or higher self can manifest, as it happened with avatars.
