Geophysical Phenomena and The Thinning Veil

Leo Deis, a 76 year old man from Regina, Canada nearly had his paradigm shattered when he witnessed firsthand, a broom in his family home stand on its own. The bristled broomstick, suspended with no aid whatsoever remained in an upright position on their tiled floor for a significant amount of time. Deis was not the only one in his family to witness this apparent feat of non-corporeal wizardry. Inquisitive, he decided to take a paintbrush to the floor to see if it would obey these new “laws of physics” he had recently discovered. To his amazement, the brush followed suit and remained suspended as well with no support at all.

Apparently the phenomenon of unsupported brooms has been sweeping across the planet and reported by store owners, housewives and news media alike. So, quite honestly, what is going on?

Deis was quick to point out his interest and previous study of physics and chemistry, and reasoned that this anomalous act might be an epiphenomenon from the recent high solar activity that has been taking place.

It is certainly difficult to ignore the fact that a variety of strange and unusual phenomena have been occurring in recent years, although some date these increased effects back to the 1800’s.

The Geophysical Factor

Is there indeed some correlation between these phenomena and erratic geophysical activity (GPA)?

When I recently spoke with author and paranormal researcher Rosemary Ellen Guiley to get her take on whether GPA might account for an increase in reported paranormal activity, here’s what she had to say…

“Many people have speculated that activity in the earth’s magnetic field has bearing on this and I do believe that to be the case. We have cycles and solar activity where increased solar flares activate the magnetosphere and paranormal investigations indicate that spirit communications and even the manifestations of entities seem to be sensitive to fluctuations in the magnetic energy. There are places on the earth for example that have dramatic negative magnetic anomalies and these almost always are associated with intense hot zones and paranormal activity on an ongoing basis.”

Although science is quick to point out that there is no hard evidence to support these claims, they do admit that the sun’s magnetic field is “flipping” and that solar maximum is here.

In an article posted on the NASA Science News web site in 2001, scientists state, “The sun's magnetic poles will remain as they are now, with the north magnetic pole pointing through the Sun's southern hemisphere, until the year 2012 when they will reverse again. This transition happens, as far as we know, at the peak of every 11-year sunspot cycle -- like clockwork.”

However, there seem to be additional significant elements that combined with the sun’s erratic behavior are making for an anomalous intersection of activity; the effects of which we haven’t seen for perhaps thousands of years.

It is well documented that the earth’s magnetic field is weakening, a feature that gradually but inevitably precedes a full-on pole shift. Many scientists agree that pole reversal has occurred many times over the millennia, and yet most are loathed to admit that we will experience a total pole shift in our lifetime. Others disagree. Researcher and author Gregg Braden is among those doing work in this field who believes that we are in the midst of a shift on many levels. In his landmark book Awakening to Zero Point, he describes something he calls the Shift of the Ages; a time in earth’s history and in human consciousness when a “convergence of decreasing planetary magnetic and increasing planetary frequency upon a point in time” takes place. “The shift represents a rare opportunity of collectively repatterning the expression of human consciousness.”

This repatterning may very well be resulting in changes to the human sensory system, and experienced both physiologically and psychologically.

Many are reporting, irregular patterns of sleep, often waking during the hours between 2am-4am. Additionally, there have been many who I have personally spoken to who have insisted that they have been awakened by either a non-physical being of some sort (some have called them “shadow-like” beings) or even balls of light floating around the room, of which the experiencer senses some form of intelligence. Of course there have been many variations to these reports.

Others are reporting extremely vivid, sometimes precognitive dreams. Telepathy seems to be on the increase. The act of manifesting based on thought alone is not a new concept, although we are hearing many more cases of instant manifestation in our daily lives.

Lynne McTaggart points out in her book, The Intention Experiment how geomagnetic fluctuations in earth’s atmosphere can have a significant impact on the consciousness of an individual. Especially during periods of moderate to high solar activity, the act of sending conscious intention seems to be far more effective. Interestingly though, when solar activity is low, thereby resulting in quiet to no geomagnetic “storminess,” the faculty known as psi whereby the individual is more tuned to receiving information is greater.

My surmise is that both sending and receiving of psychic information has reached a crescendo due perhaps, in part to the heightened geophysical phenomena we are experiencing on a regular basis.

Our psychic faculties and the interpenetration of our awareness into these realms are but one, albeit important, feature of this “new energy” we are experiencing. Braden points out however, “…it is the awareness of humankind, and not the life essence itself, that is used to interpret the three dimensional world…It is this awareness that is locked up within the fields of magnetics surrounding our planet. Through the structure provided as fields of magnetics the net of our awareness matrix is stabilized and secured in place.”

However, now with the steady decrease of magnetic shielding, the persistent increase of earth frequency along with the fury of solar activity, a potpourri of possibilities are being hurled our way.

What does one do with all of this?

I’ve no doubt that the complexities of just what is going on here, leaving hints as they may, are more than most can get their heads around – science included! But as is often noted, nature leaves clues if one is attuned to its subtle information.

If we can just imagine that earth has a consciousness and a body, and “heartbeat” just as we do, we can also reason that resonance between these two bodies (of man and earth) is a natural phenomenon. When the predominant energy changes, the other must follow in like manner – this is the physical law of resonance.

When the earth’s “protective shield” weakens or diminishes, we might liken that to our own protective shield or barrier or veil weakening as well; that of conscious perception. When the veil thins we, just as the earth, have access to all the other information “out there.” This flow pours in like a monsoon, but if one is not ready or is unprepared, this evolution will mask itself and be interpreted as tumult, discord and confusion, thus a misunderstanding of the significance of this convergence of energies.

When one consciously recognizes and tunes one's self to the increased frequency of earth's vibration, the veils of perception, polarity and dissonance begin to blur and the recognition of being one with an unbroken whole starts to emerge. Though beginning individually, a collective awakening starts to take shape.

Braden says, “It is no longer necessary to go into the sacred chambers of ancient structures designed to provide the appropriate environment for this Shift; we are living The Shift within our offices, schools, living rooms as day-to-day life.”

So as we ponder the broom anomaly or stretch to make sense of our own fantastical and non-ordinary experiences, let us remind ourselves that we are living during a most unprecedented and magical time; a time that brings forth an opportunity to truly merge with the Shift of the Ages. Let us embrace the magic, attune to its frequency and reap the unlimited benefits of an infinite spectrum of experience.

Eliminating Grief through Conscious Dying – A One on One Interview with Dr. Bruce Goldberg

“There is no death - there is only a change in dimensions,” and according to Dr. Bruce Goldberg a clinical hypnotherapist well known for his work in the field of past life regression, astral travel and other alternative modalities, we can consciously interact with that realm.

I sat down with Dr. Goldberg last month at his Woodland Hills, California offices to have a discussion about using controlled out of body experiences (OBE’s) as a means to contact our loved ones in spirit which may greatly mitigate the emotion of grief.

What then ensued was a crash dis-course on a process he calls “conscious dying,” whereby an individual can deeply relieve their own personal burden of bereavement, and also assist their loved one in spirit to ascend beyond what he refers to as the lower astral realms. The term conscious dying, at first blush seemed irrelevant to my objective in this interview as I had been familiar with the term in my research to mean teaching the dying how to do so in a conscious and lucid manner. However, I found his approach quite intriguing. Essentially he explained that although conscious dying is used to teach a proactive transition for those who are terminal, this modality could be used effectively in other ways.

Although still a provocative and highly speculative subject in many scientific circles, the general idea of an afterlife, and furthermore interacting with the beyond, has increased in interest and become a growing field of inquiry, both academically and to the lay public, respectively. Goldberg says however that there are still very few in his field of hypnotherapy, teaching techniques that show people how to proactively go into realms beyond the third dimension.

In Goldberg’s book Exploring the Fifth Dimension and during our nearly two hour exchange, he discusses Atlanta cardiologist Michael Sabom’s detailed inquiry into the validity and mystery of the near death experience. Sabom’s research has been well documented, most notably with his 1994 “Atlanta Study.” Although his findings have yielded a wealth of curious phenomena suggesting an actual experience outside of the five sense framework, he still maintains that the NDE experience although “hints at the afterlife,” still may not be a direct experience of it.

Goldberg’s understanding draws a direct association to NDE, OBE and afterlife experiences. In fact, his surmise is that the astral realms, mainly lower, represent the fundamental underpinnings of the afterlife for many; that is until they can ascend into finer vibrational realms. And we can help them in this process through conscious out of body experiences and his conscious dying techniques.

Conscious Dying and the Upper Planes

“There are techniques highlighted in the book where loved ones can help the patient to have a conscious dying experience, but let’s say there is someone who has already died, they have already crossed into spirit and let’s say you didn’t have the opportunity to work with them while they were here, you can still send out the energy to them. What you are doing is training them on the other side to connect with their higher self. This is called ‘after death meditation.’”

Goldberg says that often at the point of physical death the individual, due to preconceived notions, belief systems, etc. neglects to acknowledge that a merging of sorts between what he calls the “soul energy” and the “higher self” need to take place. This coalescing of energies allows the dying individual to avoid the lower astral realms, a place he describes as one where many third dimensional-like aspects still exist, although not as dense as the earth plan, but with all the trappings of earth like activity. The temptation to stay there and relive many of the habitual patterns (including the negative ones) can overcome the soul and ascension can be thwarted for possibly thousands of earth years.

Rather than merging, a bifurcation of energies takes place and then karma is created where one will reincarnate back onto the earth plane and be destined to repeat many of the life lessons, often with great, but unnecessary suffering in a cyclical pattern.

I asked Dr. Goldberg about how a conscious dying technique would work for someone who died suddenly. How could they trigger this process?

He says that one can achieve a conscious dying state no matter what the cause of death, even a car accident for instance. State of mind during one’s life; spiritual practices like meditation, an open mind, free of any set belief system will help one with the conscious dying process, even if they initially end up on the lower astral planes. When they see the white light they will recognize it based on their practices and mind set while incarnated. “This is a freeing mechanism. It is recognition,” he says.

But beyond first person practice of conscious dying techniques, Goldberg definitively draws a correlation between conscious dying and Conscious OBE’s or COBE’s.

He explains that there are three kinds of OBE’s. First is the near death experience (NDE) where an individual is declared clinically dead and as a result is taken out of body and the consciousness is thrust into a vivid other-worldly experience. Then there is the typical OBE that can occur often spontaneously, where one will literally feel their consciousness leave their body, often viewing it from another perspective and through their “astral eyes.” And then there is something called COBE’s, a practice that can be used in conjunction with the conscious dying techniques that can yield a precious and often therapeutic unification with our deceased loved ones.

Pets in the Afterlife

In our discussion he gave several examples of patients he had worked with using the COBE and conscious dying techniques. One was a woman who was desperately grief stricken over the loss of a beloved pet, to the extent where she fell into a clinical depression. Going through a series of steps, Goldberg guided the woman to an altered state using in part something he calls an “In the body experience” or IBE wherein you can perceive and experience the astral realm while still being consciously grounded in physical form. Whilst in the experience the woman became overwhelmed with joy as tears streamed down her face. She declared she saw her beloved dog and felt renewed by knowing that he still existed in this realm. Additionally, the act of “going” to visit with her pet in this dimension resulted in her diminished grief and thus acted as a catalyst for the pet to ascend. In a strange but revealing twist, sometime later the woman who had been shopping at a mall, returned to her locked car to find a small German Sheppard puppy in the passenger’s seat. There was no note and certainly no explanation as to how the dog got there. Perplexed, she nonetheless took the dog home and ultimately decided to keep him. Once settled in, she noticed the dog beginning to take on the very attributes of her deceased pet; embodying many of the personality traits and command responses of her former companion. Goldberg maintains that using these techniques can even facilitate a union in the form of reincarnation of the loved one – yes, even with a pet!

He highlighted another example of a woman who had participated in one of his workshops in Canada some years ago, on conscious dying and OBE’s. The woman had been forlorn at the loss of her mother who had died several months previous and the grief had nearly incapacitated her. She feared nothing would help her. After going through an exercise during the workshop, the participants had the opportunity to share their experiences while in a group led exercise facilitated by Dr. Goldberg. The woman, eager to share her story exclaimed as tears flowed how she saw her mother during the process that Goldberg had been guiding the group through. A breakthrough had taken place. Six months later the woman returned to a follow up workshop Goldberg was giving, again enthusiastically proclaiming that she had been healed of her bereavement and had found a new found fervor to her life since that initial experience.

There appears to be some alchemical component to this unique process that Dr. Goldberg has used to successfully convert grief into, in many cases, out right joy and renewal. Although he says, he is not the one doing the healing of the patient. “I’m 1% and they’re 99% of the therapy.” They are clearly doing the work and as a result, a true healing from loss takes place. He also makes a strong point of saying that these practices are indigenous to many ancient cultures. “They are shamanic techniques that have been around for thousands of years. I’ve just ‘westernized’ them to make them more accessible.”

It is also worth noting here that Goldberg stresses the consequences of sustained bereavement as an impediment to our loved one’s ascension. He says, “When you bereave for someone you are actually hurting them. Your sadness sends out a negative energy.” That coupled with their possible sense of confusion if indeed they reside on the lower astral levels can make for a toxic concoction and no one will ultimately benefit from this mix of ingredients. Rather, if your loved one needs assistance in order to ascend into their true state, you can become an integral partner in that process and as a result, you free the loved one from possible entrapment in the lower realms and you free yourself of feeling trapped in grief.

Although Dr. Goldberg believes that people wanting to learn these techniques, including COBE’s, for the purposes of diminishing grief may be increasing slightly, there are still very few who are aware that this approach is available to them because it is not widely practiced and offered as a therapeutic modality.

As we forge toward a new model of life and reality; one that requires a new paradigm of thought and action, let us consider these approaches to understanding the process of life and the afterlife. And in so doing, we not only renew our trust in the continuation of life for our loved ones but tap into the “intimations of immortality” for ourselves.
