Its About the Journey
Ok so still no more OBE’s and as was clear in my previous posts this was causing me concern, annoyance and frustration. But its ok! Ive crossed that bridge and now I feel much better.
Basically, a realization came to me over the last few days when I have been meditating. I was meditating without the goal of projecting, which I have never done. I realized that meditation feels good. Then it dawned on me; this whole journey feels good! Already I have experienced OBE’s and things most of the human population never will. I have answered the age-old question of is there life after death for MYSELF and not been told to believe. I have experienced my consciousness without my body. I have flown, I have walked through walls…
I realized that this journey is not a quick fix nor a fad I can pick up and then drop. My whole life changed the moment of my first OBE and it will be changed forever. This is something I will be doing my entire life and I now realize that getting frustrated about any part of this ruins the experience (without mentioning the hinderence this emotional response will undoubtedly have on my spiritual and OBE progression). I mean, if I don’t enjoy the experiences, whatever they are, why should I choose to take part? Every “failure” is really a success; a step further on my journey. Sometimes it may feel like I am walking backwards, but I am taking the steps none-the-less and when I actually look at the steps, I enjoy it immensely.
I have been focusing on the destination without looking out of the window at the scenery. That is not to say I am not looking forward to my arrival (after all, why start a journey without wanting to get to your destination?) but instead of sleeping through the trip, I now realize all of it is part of the journey. I think there is a reason why its called “following a spiritual path” and not “take a spiritual plane ride” – when you take a path it takes longer – but you also see more and experience more, making the entire journey part of the experience and not just the end.
So with that in mind, I will continue doing what I am doing. OBE’s have happened before and they will again, its all about finding my groove – what works for me! Frustration is a negative emotion which I think is definitely hindering my progression and after all, why should I be frustrated? Its all about the Journey.
