By David Wilcock Many sources, including Ra , Edgar Cayce, and others, say that the Oneness essentially got bored or lonely. It needed to do something. It needed to create. It wasn't feeling complete just by having this unified consciousness all the time. So it conceptualised the idea of breaking Itself up into all these parts, knowing that the parts would be able to evolve by their own free will, making their own decisions. Things would happen that the Oneness was not yet able to understand or comprehend. The parts would have essentially their own creative ability. They would be... |

On-demand out-of-body-experiences: all you need are VR goggles and a stick By John Timmer | Published: August 23, 2007 - 01:00PM CT A key part of our sense of identity derives from the fact that we place our "self" within our body. That's in part why we're fascinated by out-of-body experiences, which generally happen only in cases of neural stress, such as strokes, epileptic seizures, and drug abuse. But two new studies that appear today in Science suggest that many aspects of out-of-body experiences can be generated using nothing more than Virtual Reality goggles and a stick... |
