IcerocketAs it often happens, some silly thing I was mulling over in the back of my mind has become supercharged by the stories of others, into something that resembles the complete genetic seed of a not-shabby idea.
It's funny how the outer world brings you information from the left and the right when you quit looking straight ahead. I made a choice around the end of October to let go of my doing-oriented mental focus for a while, to just flow with the messages, and focus more of my energies on connecting with my inner world(s). Coincidentally, I also let go of drinking alcohol.
Not long after, Odd Edges posted his 'Manfesto: Consciousness Explorer 1.0' which also served as my introduction to the work of Thomas Campbell. And through Thomas Campbell, the work of Robert Monroe. Both renowned out-of-body travelers.
Almost simultaneously, I met a couple of evolvers online who, as it turned out, live right in my hometown. I've begun to meet with them regularly on campus for discussion. And as chance would have it, one of the first themes I encountered was new physics and mysticism, the untapped potentials of the matrix itself, and a video (see below).
Then, the group meditation that Harry has inspired and nurtured, called 'The Sphere of Mass Love Creation,' culminated in a very profound experience of meditative community. This was truly a first for me. A genuine sense of the presence of others while deep in personal meditation has become a milestone in my experience (yoda and kung-fu masters can do that!).
Looking at my own tracks, I see that during the past three and a half months of witnessing evolver evolve, I've dropped more than a few hints about the crazy idea of transcending the internet.
Lastly, the day before yesterday, I grokked Celeste's blog on 'Shift of the Ages' where sonofman quotes:
"The Elders of the Council when they want to find things, they go into session. But the way that they do it, each one takes a place separate from each other. And then each one of them in their own space, go into meditation . . . deep, deep meditation, and then they receive all of this knowledge. Then they come together, and they all say what they have seen. Then if everybody sees the same thing, then they say that this is what it is. Thank you."
So rambling up to my point, while omitting copious details for the sake of brevity, I would like to propose that we might be able to help each other greatly by working together on improving the accuracy, depth, and reach of our individual meditations.
As a group project, it seems conducive to the strengths of the internet. Comparing notes with all of you online has already helped me fine-tune, corroborate, and calibrate elements of my intuition. Perhaps this is true for you as well. I'm quite certain that the instructions for such 'remarkable' feats already exist in our native genetic memory.
Can we bootstrap our ability to explore shared psychic realms with greater accuracy? Can we create lessons together that could take us to higher levels of shared reality? Can we collate a library of supporting information? Can we translate the potentials under discussion into real skills?
I'm floating this out for your feedback. I have no preconceived ideas about organization, beyond the obvious applicability of the quotation above, and the recurring theme of working together for deep change.
Namaste, fellow travelers!

Funny Footnotes (or foot anecdotes): Some additional background on my abiding personal interest in quantum psychosphere phenomena:
1. When I was a kid, I slept in a basement room that was pitch black at night. When I would have to pee, I'd get up and feel my way along the walls to the bathroom (which was not far away). I would make noise running into doorknobs, feel the fibers of the carpet on my feet, or bump my head on the edge of the door if someone had left it open. It was often a marathon in the dark to get to the place where I could finally let it all go. Then I would awaken in my bed with a start, where the warm wet spot would tip me off to the 'dream.'
2. When I was an older kid, I was out deep in the woods late one evening after watching a very scary sci-fi B-flick about post-apocalyptic monsters with blistered white skin and red baleen mouths (that sizzled acidically as they shoved radioactive squirrels through them). Well, I suddenly became sure one was chasing me, so I began sprinting home along the twisting path with many fallen trees across it. I wasn't running, I was sheer body-flailing at top mach speed. It wasn't until I reached the lights of home that I realized.. I had just made that breathless, agile sprint in total darkness.
3. Flying dreams!!! Need I say more?
4. I came home from college one christmas and took a nostalgic walk in my woods. While walking through the old deer grass and low-growing young cedar field, the hair on my neck stood up and my skin tingled like something was approaching me fast from behind. There was no sound, and I froze in place. I felt a wind rush through me which did not even rustle the dry grass. When I turned slowly around, a seven foot cedar staff was standing vertically in my previous footprint. The moss wasn't even disturbed. I still have this object. I call it my mystery stick because I can in no way explain where it came from or how it noiselessly appeared in the space my body had just occupied.
5. My son was twelve or thirteen. One night at bedtime we discovered that he "might have probably" left the mouthpiece for his french horn at his mother's house. So we searched everywhere for it until we had to give up. The next morning as I went to wake him up, it was sitting on his nightstand. When I asked him how it got there, he said he brought it back from her house in a dream, and that he had walked there. Well, she lived over thirty minutes away by car, and I know it was not in the house before he went to bed because we had turned it upside down looking the night before.
6. One of my early posts here is entitled 'Wildernet.' In it I describe how I spent fifteen minutes or more in an entirely other world within the space of a footstep in this one.
So now you know some of my best weird stories. I'm sure the Amazing Randi's of the world could find copious flaws with my scientific methodologies. But none of these experiences were premeditated as experiments. They occurred spontaneously. And to the extent that my own inherent skepticism allows, I am personally satisfied with their authenticity. They still drive my questions, and they leave me wondering about the true limits of possibility.
I would love to get to the point where I could jump worlds at will. And I would love it even more if we could do it together!
Familiar music plays as the post-internet generation lifts off.

A friend of mine suggested that it could be a 'kami,' or nature spirit in the shinto sense. This thought resonated with me and reflects my relationship with this 'mystery stick.' It stands in our house in a place of respect, like a guardian. Being so tall and slender, it's hard to photograph. But here is a picture of part of it. It actually looks nothing like the cedars of the area where it appeared!
Why Not?

"Can we bootstrap our ability to explore shared psychic realms with greater accuracy?"
Maybe 'yes' today as useful channels and circuits open up. Yet at the same time the old pit falls still lie everywhere in the path. (?)
" Can we create lessons together that could take us to higher levels of shared reality?
Hmm... Is this not complicated by so many variables of participant backgrounds and so many vantage points? 'Yes' if enough static is overcome. (?)"
"Can we collate a library of supporting information?"
I think it worth a try simply by collating networks of individuals online. One hope, through the din of current upheavals, such a thing could even help the trolls to grow in consciousness.
"Can we translate the potentials under discussion into real skills?"
Perhaps so with care (spiritual love) , but it also demands adherence 'serving others', on our common material plane-- This is a big stumbling block for humans who have been deluded into trap of over self-indulgence and 'over-physical-stimulus' .
PS- Great vid! It seems like the very original "Ring Of Fire" series on PBS, decades ago-- Ya, by all means, learning about Chi can become enlightening in itself!

Hi Bo

Thanks for your reply. It seems to me from reading blogs here on evolver that many people's circuits are indeed opening up. Some may already be able to travel in this way.
The 'Sphere of Love' community meditation has had such an eye-opening effect on me. I'm eager to explore socially cooperative meditation further. The sessions could be quite simple in nature, and the very aim of working together would be to improve the signal to noise ratio.
I love the interwoven structure of evolver blogs, but it's hard to pinpoint information sometimes. Alchemy Goddess's current blog on crystals made me think of the benefits of having an evolver wiki, where persistent information could be organized, accessed, maintained, and pointed to. In a similar way, GodIAm maintains his own blogsite with a huge assortment of links to YouTube material that I still refer back to. And LOL, yeah, it might even help the trolls!
The potentials for communicating psychically and co-creating with the help of higher planes of consciousness are unlimited. The 'how-to' information has been occulted for ages though. I'm trying to integrate the information I've received so far into my own practice, and searching for leads to more info as well. In this time of opening information, and opening to the transparency of purer love, the calling to connect is loud and clear. Accessing the potentials of quantum consciousness in meditation could be a huge asset for service on the material plane.
Namaste, Javaman. I hope to see you in inner space one of these days!

Hi River
Thanks for the pic. The story reminds me losely of an account i read about in Wales where this guy was being followed heel to heel by a seven foot Pan architype. He was very afraid and was dropped down into trance before it left. No gift was left though.
Funny you should mention Pan
— Nov 22, 2009
I personally feel closer to that energy than any other form of deity. And I should tell the rest of the story, the sad part:
After a moment of bewilderment and wonder, I picked up the mystery stick and walked on. I passed through the field and on into the ravine of curious rocks, rocks with strange shapes that my friends and I had named as children. (I had spent almost all of my youth in this woods until my discovery of girls at age 16). On the other side of the ravine I saw a green metal box and my heart sank. It had a 'Danger: High-voltage' sticker on it. I thought "Oh no.." and walked up the bulldozer path to discover that my woods was now a subdivision. It was about as emotionally damaging to me as discovering a loved one brutally chopped up in my home. It has everything to do with my abiding, outsider feelings about modern land use. As I quiver to write this, perhaps I should look further into that wounded place in me.
I have my own stories too
— Nov 21, 2009
I have my own stories too :-)
Just thinking about them makes me feel good yet strange. I know what happened, but I can't explain it or dare share it with anyone except one friend who's had similar experiences :-)
I've found objects that I was seeking two times now. And twice when my mind was at it most clear events turned out as I needed them - but I already knew they would - very strange stuff
Hi gav
— Nov 22, 2009
You and the others who have read this are now the only people outside of my closest friends and family that have heard these stories. There is something liberating about releasing them. I included them in this post merely to underscore the fact that the world is stranger than we can know. If and when you are ready to tell some of your strange tales, I'm all ears! Stories can reveal the edges of reality, where life is most vibrant. They play a sacred role in tribal evolution. No pressure though! :-)
Great this is what I hoped for!

More effort on opening, connecting, exercising our 4th and 5th dimensional ability. I would like to work on telepathy, maybe we can create sphere of love with symbols in them like stars, crosses, tetrahedrons, yin,Yang, star Glyphs, Mayan number symbols, Have a group of senders and a group of receivers. There's one symbol focused on by the senders inside the sphere that they decide on.
On the appointed day at the appointed time senders and receivers get in a meditative relaxed state and connect. senders focusing on the symbol that was chosen. Receivers stay relaxed with minds empty, and open. then the next day receivers tell what symbol they received. Then the groups witch roles
the reason for using the sphere is because we have established that visualization.
And it can serve as a vehicle to hold our symbols. Plus it's surrounded in protective love energy.
Hi brother Harry
— Nov 22, 2009
Telepathy seems like a good place to start. And I love the idea of using the sphere as a home base. Do you remember the dream I told you about where the sphere appeared to me like a starship in orbit? How perfect!
Star Ship projection!

Yes I do! Cool theres others posting that want to get a collective going so i think we got some good energy here!!!

River,
I love this! Look at you soar!
Last January I had a near-death experience that has left me with many such unexplainable stories. The best way I can describe these experiences is as though they were "downloads" of information for some very good reason, but, unlike many experiences of this nature, the reason for these downloads remains a mystery to me. One thing is certain: they are occurring more vividly and frequently each time. There are three that stand out most for me whose meanings are yet unresolved. I'd like to share them here in case anyone else has had similar experiences lately to compare notes about...
First, I went out on a date. The night of the date, I felt increasingly hot and dizzy the closer I got to the tea house where we agreed to meet. By the time I got there I felt faint. Almost as soon as I said hello I had to stumble into the bathroom to avoid passing out in the middle of the place. When I got to the bathroom and sat down I got this download of static and feedback. loud feedback. Every time I closed my eyes I was in the middle of a violent meteor shower. I felt like my brain was being accessed, and I couldn't remember my identity. Needless to say, it threw me off and I promptly ended the date. As soon as I left I felt like myself again.
Second, during a normal meditation in which I typically focus on bringing my mind back to my breath because it is always so busy, I was stunned. As soon as I closed my eyes I could see myself on the back of a gigantic elephant. I was in extacy as I loved this elephant. It was like I was energetically making love to her, but not like sex, but like utter soul-loving bliss, like our hearts were not just connected, but melded. I was naked and laying into a hug from my soul to hers, writhing in utter pleasure that I have never experienced before. My heart felt so profoundly full of love and appreciation for this animal. Then she told me it was time. I opened my eyes and the download was complete. Where the first instance felt like a brain download, the second felt like a heart download.
The third and most recent is intriguing. Again, during daily meditation practice about two weeks ago, I closed my eyes and instantly saw these energies that I could hardly fathom with my own imagination. The only way I can describe it is as rainbow beings. They weren't bodies, but clusters of twinkling rainbow energies. They did body work on me and helped me heal an ache in my neck that they told me came from a past-life beheading. Then, two energies in particular came to work with me. One with more of the rainbow presence than all the others, and another who clearly told me his name was Azrael. They brought me to another healing energy and told me to let go. They told me that many energies are working to heal the fear on Earth in droves. Several times in the meditation I felt like I might die, knowing I was in the meditation. Azrael asked me if I was truly willing to let go and accept that I could die right then and there, if I was willing to flow. I said yes. Then my hands began to ache and tingle, my body went cold, and I did feel as though I was on the brink of physical death. My physical heart began to tingle, as did all my muscles surrounding it. The soles of my feel began to ache. Then, I felt as though the download was suddenly complete, and I was given the experience of actually nearly physically dying of natural causes. Azraels parting message to me was to help him guide the souls of others.
Unlike many intuitive stories and my own past experiences where the relevance of the message was made known fairly soon after the experience, these have yielded no such result. I don't know at all what the first download was about, though it was the most violent and frightening because I felt so out of control. My best guess is that the energies were priming me, opening me up. The second experience has not been made relevant either. Nor the third. No one died, I did not die (I hope ;)), nor was I led to any dying people.
In hopes of following the messages or doing my part with following through with the downloads, I have been trying to "do" with all of this. Yielding no results. So, I thought I'd try connecting instead. Anyone else getting inexplicable downloads?
A couple of notes, I was not on any hallucinagenic substance during these downloads, and the near-death experience was a gallbladder packed with so many gallstones that it was developing gangrene. (No brain or heart-damage stuff that might be causing all of this).
Thanks, River, for opening up such an aligned discussion. I love your energy, your insights, and your willingness to connect. So much love, my friend. I only wish we lived closer so I could join in on those evolver connections you're sharing in person. Rock on!
Take Good Care...
Ginnie, you blow me away!
— Nov 23, 2009
This isn't the first time I've heard of these downloads, but it's the first time anyone has told me real stories about them. Thank you!
I have a friend whose friend's father experienced this, but I never got to speak with him about it. Unfortunately, as I heard it, he kinda went off the deep end for a while. This was four or five years ago and I don't think he had a very supportive social context in which he could work on integrating the information.
Though your experiences remain mysterious, they do seem to guide you on your path. That seems apparent to me anyway.
In the first experience you relate I hear an element of warning in the telling, but that's only on one level. Something about the event or the place maybe. And your elephant story is gorgeous and extraordinary! Have you explored the elephant as a totem spirit or helper? I had a lucid dream about playing with a fox a few years ago and someone suggested I look into information on the fox as totem. What I was able to discover along that path was very illuminating.
Your third tale gives me a start. I have a best friend who is prone to the strangest episodes of suddenly passing out. This has been going on since we went to college together over 20 years ago. He will literally fall out of his chair spontaneously and dream-travel (from his perspective) and shake (from ours as witnesses). One of his most memorable experiences involved a entity he calls Israel. I wonder if it's actually Azrael. Those two words could easily sound the same.
Also, the notion of having a mortal illness to transcend as an initiation to the role of shaman is very common in the stories of native peoples. So wow, that's all I can think to share at this time about inexplicable downloads. I'll keep my ears up though.
Wishing we all lived closer is an underlying theme for me. The bandwidth of the keyboard sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. It would be much more fun to drum and dance and feast and howl at the moon together. It's also a motivation for working on improving these extrasensory faculties that are supposed, by many accounts, to be second nature to us.
But you live in SF right? I'll bet there are more evolver connections there per capita than, well, than a lot of places..

Much love to you too! And keep rawkin' down those barriers to fearless open hearted sharing.
I am so there

"I would love to get to the point where I could jump worlds at will. And I would love it even more if we could do it together! "
But just remember I appear to have already leapt from the edge of the precipice and am free falling with what faith I can hold onto that my wings will give flight any moment... which was the first place my mind took me to in reading your message.. I believe that this world we believe is a linear line of time is a dream, and like a dream we can change the rules as we believe we can..
I am ready for us to take it to the next level of evolution, and like you I would love it even more if we could do it all together!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
here we are inside the dance of our creation.
Hi Celeste
— Nov 23, 2009
I know you're flying (falling?) blindly into the unknown right now. I'm glad to hear from you. Especially on this topic of building dream paths. I'd love to hear more about what it means to you to dream in an Indian way. And I thank you again for helping me connect to that deep native thread in myself (though I still don't know how it can be! yet it is so.) So, let us work on hacking the rules of the dream matrix, and remembering telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation, together!
My heart's a gonna pop!
— Nov 23, 2009
I'm so excited by everyone's feedback! I've got some thoughts to respond with but my afternoon is calling. Please check back in later. I've got such a great feeling about having friends on the path! Hum-te-tum-tum...
Update: We'll get in touch about this very soon!
Good feedback gives me so
— Nov 23, 2009
Good feedback gives me so much food for thought. Thank you! There are many details I left out. The night of the violent download, I was meeting a date who said he was a hypnotherapist. When I got there, before nearly passing out, he said his day job was as a police officer. Didn't bother me in the least, but it seemed to bother him. Hard to explain, but this download had something to do with protecting me from a certain kind of energetic set of intentions.
The near-death experience that marked the beginning of all this was, I feel, an initiation. Many fascinating details about this experience, but most stunning is that just after the operation, I woke up too soon. I looked into a nurses eyes and asked her if I just had a litmus test. I didn't even know what it meant or why I said it, but I remember it as clear as a bell. Then she gave me more drugs and I was out again. Who knows how much anesthesia I was under, but I still remember it unmistakably.
After the elephant visit I looked up the spirit guides purpose and was floored- a message of matriarchy just as I was beginning my adventure with the Every Empress project. Also a message of vibrational translation between earth and divine.
WIth Azrael, well, I am waiting on this one for further instruction. It's true that these messages guide my actions, but I need more information for how to actually apply them. Its working quietly. In the past I would have felt fear of these experiences, especially of sharing them, but now I feel excitement, appreciation, and love for them. Divine downloads indeed. Its funny though, like its not really up to me to figure out the application, but rather to simply live and respond to life with this new information organically inside of me. Very challenging for this little capricorn master-doer, but also very very very fun.
Cool, fox animal totem, yeah, I feel it! Its all about you. As for the groups, I just moved to a small town closer to Santa Cruz, just need to make the connection with other evolvers. Thanks for jostling me out of my longing and into a place where I have the power to act. mmmm.... very yummy. But I do so wish I were at these meetings you're having too. It'd be fun to just rap about all of this with you.
Have you had any astral meetings yet? I'm interested in experimenting with this. Let me know if you do start a group project for this. I'm soooo down.
Celeste- I can relate to the free-fall. Transition, birth, death, awakening, faithful risk-taking. Keep going! I don't know you, but you must be doing a great job because you are aware of it. Just keep going. It'd be great to connect on another plane of existence with you too. Soul sista!
Harry- I love how concrete your proposed exercise is! What about glyphs/ symbols for energies associated with telepathy and astral travel, or symbols for these skills, to empower the project through a sort of energetic engagement?
Take care all, and may your receive a little unexpected gift of love from the divine channel that connects me and you.
