I re-posted your original letter because you have related my own emerging sentiments and i think some interesting ideas could come out of this topic.
Many of the topics are dealing with the 3-d reality, and in specific, perserving the reality/way of life. A way of living that is requisite of satisfying the physical desires/needs/wants. Doesn't OBE's show us that these can become less substantial. Isn't that really going to be the ultimate outcome of All This economic/societal/physical upheaval before we can shift out of and into the next dimensional vibration?
Why do we put so much attention into the details of the future when we cant know/control what they will actually become? Isn't this ironic, we are espousing the new paradigm and yet we're seeking to preserve the old one. maybe its like trying to give up a habit, its so ingrained in our thinking, layer upon layer, we feel the need to feed the beast.
I'm not saying we should lay down in the road and wait. We should actively pursue.....what? The new paradigm. Heres where i see OBE relating to near-death experiences. They can free us from an old paradigm if we can but find the energy and drive to purse them and experience the posibilities they can present. I'm still atthe outskirts looking into this country, and i have lots of questions and theories about OBE's. They're the direction i want to head in, so please everyone who may be inclined to post, do so, i'm interested in what youall have t o say on this.
Fare-well
