New to Phase, with questions...
Posted: Fri Jan 29, 2016 3:20 pm
Greetings everyone. I am new to this forum, and as usual, I seem to be late to the party, as much of the activity here apparently has slowed. I discovered Mr. Raduga's book and website just this week, when doing research.
I have a few observations and questions, if anyone could be so kind to reply.
Like many people, I started having spontaneous releases from childhood through my adult life. Not many, but perhaps ten in sixty years. Most of the time I was frightened enough to not get much out of it, but my interest continued over the years. As silly as it sounds, it was not fear that kept me from a lot of experimentation, but the simple fact when I lay down to sleep I am tired and fall asleep within minutes. I always approached experimentation as a chore, and hence got nowhere.
So, all those wasted years and I read Mr. Raduga's book this week which informs me the best way to achieve the state is after sleep, not before. Well this made perfect sense to me and the second day I tried, it really worked.
So I read deeper into Mr. Raduga's website, including this forum and other papers that address the Phase, and it seems after some time, practitioners are saying this isn't 'out of the body' but some sort of artifact of our subconscious mind, and these are simulations. And then I read somewhere, can't find it now, where Mr. Raduga states he is withdrawing for possibly an extended period of time to, apparently, find out more about the phenomenon.
I have to say, being interested in Robert Monroe's work, accepting that all of this might be a subjective simulation certainly breaks the rudder of what I assumed was a smooth sailing ship. Now I am left to wonder what all this actually is.
Have I missed something on the website that says more about Mr. Rauga's decision to retreat? Has there been additional discoveries among advanced practitioners that lead to this simulation conclusion, or is it speculation?
And if it is simulation, what is the point of it? In the past people have considered this sort of thing a part of spiritual advancement, but it if is largely subjective, how can anything big be achieved in the Phase?
While I agree with assertions that Biblical and other texts have parts inspired by the Phase, and mistaking this for an actual encounter with God or his angels, my mind is reeling with the enormity of what this represents; that so much of what we believe is myth. I do not hold religious belief and am pleased to see a possible explanation for miracles.
The Phase documentary eludes to 'someone' cutting us off from the Phase. Any more on this? I have always assumed we forget, not that some control device is in play.
So what does it all mean? Where do we go from here?
Thank you for reading.
