It's not so much his theories or experiences.  It is the fact that certain things he has claimed happen in regards to scientific experiments don't.  When me and a friend of mine fronted Campbell in regards to his "mistakes" (hoping that he would somehow admit his errors and still be able ...

Rather than try to answer that question directly (and the answer, come to think of it, may well vary from person to person) I relate the following experience, which some of you may find offers and interesting way to explore the question. In one lucid dream I had, I was 'pretty lucid', say, comparabl...

Summerland, you said above: His attempt to differentiate between OBEs and lucid dreams using his analogy is also very poor.  What he's just described, unknowingly, is that there are different degrees to lucidity and has not, in any way, shown in clear terms, two distinct experiences. I'm wondering i...

Actually, I wasn't really saying anything, except that the interview might be of interest to some of the boardies.

I agree about the Play-doh metaphor.

Some of the posters may enjoy hearing this interview with Will Buhlman, a few weeks back.  He offers a nice 'easy on the ears' perspective.  Not a lot of belief system baggage.  He's been an OBEster for about 4 decades now.

I find Jeff's statement quite valid.  Affecting another individual in reality via the phase is in the unproven section of SOBT but not said to be impossible.  In fact, it is encouraged that people do their own research.  It is hard to get evidence for things like telepathy because of coincidence bu...

Respectfully suggest that while you are waiting, to contact these people: http://barbarabrennan.com/bbshe/main.html They can probably set you up with an area healer over there. With any luck at all, it will obviate the need to visit the states. Having read their textbooks, I am very impressed. Montana

There is extensive discussion about this over on the My Big Toe boards.  It seems to be generally agreed that the good thing about the binaural BFOs is that they can pretty dramatically introduce someone previously unfamiliar to altered states of consciousness in a stable, reliable (repeatable) fash...

When it comes to issues of moral consequence, it is not unreasonable to assume as a working guideline that one ought not do things in other realms what one would be disinclined to do in this one.

Folks might like this one: http://links.visibli.com/2343fb388cdeaf33/?web=de71a3&dst=http%3A//www.outofbodytravel.org/ Marylin Hughes offers quite a bit of material, being a long time OBEster.  She's written about a zillion books, which you can either buy, or read completely for free online. One...

Just some notes to add: Each body is different, and will process/use the coffee chemistry in its own way.  (The upshot is, sometimes this is a desirable effect, sometimes not desirable) Each body is different over time and circumstance (the effect of coffee or any thing else can vary from day to day...

New here, and am wondering, after reading the above, if there is a formal operative (scientific) definition of the term "to phase" (verb) or "phase" (noun)? TIA -Montana Summerland:  I had mentioned this general site elsewhere on these boards this morning in response to someone's...

Here's free theosophical stuff online ... some intersting phase-related ideas to be found there: http://www.anandgholap.net/ Here's a site to free online reading, most or all of it being really old books .... never know what you will find, but the older stuff typically can turn up gems you never new...

"The Meme Machine"  ... that sounds interesting! Personally, I am remarkably uninterested in the whole UFO thing. (I say that having had too-many-to-count childhood UFO-ish experiences.  Yes, some were what you would call here on this BB 'phase-related'.) Memes are to groups what belief sy...

Oh Okay...  I had thought something else might be going on~ The idea that the two phenomena are connected has been around for sometime; I recall scanning through a book back in '92 that had that essential thesis.  Of course, back then, (in America, at least), to acknowledge either OBE or Aliens was ...

Well, there can be lots to say about the topic, discussion of ego and  cult probably should have their own entire bulletin board :-)  I don't care much for the idea of publicly analyzing distinct, known living personalities. I am guessing that Michael would prefer to keep his boards focused on the O...

I remember reading, or rather, viewing his work over on youtube a couple years back. It all seemed entirely legit ... I was too busy at the time to make use of it. While the content that is free seems solid and usable, it is hard to escape the feeling that he is some sort of salesman.. the way he is...

Hi Jeff,

thanks for the links.  Yes, I am reading Michael's book.

Hi Summerlander, So far, I haven't been a big consumer of the whole double-slit thing:  For one thing science is forever and always correcting itself once it gets a bit further down the road. What I do like from the MBT boards is the idea that all that can be modeled can be done so digitally.  I don...

I was initially fascinated by 'My Big Toe' when i watched it but after going on the forum i did realise that people weren't as open minded as i expected. This is exactly what I realised.  I think the people there are too condescending towards newcomers with questions or when they express their doub...

New to the boards here...

Just wondering what became of this experiment.

-Montana

....LOL!~  ..."The wife look".  Know what yer talking about there bro~  I talk about my NPMR activities with almost no one locally. It is not uncommon to discover that one is leading several lives at once, or, at least the experience often gets modeled that way.  And as far as I can fathom...

Hi Wiii New to the board here  (came from another that Jeff posts on and he posted a link to here, and was looking around). Here's a general take on your passage above. Each reality, whether in this heavier, clonkier, physical reality, or in some relatively non-physical zone (over on the boards I co...
