What do you reckon about astrology?
For those who don’t know, astrology is the art of the conscious mind leaving the physical body. Apparently, this can be done by near-death experience, meditation, among with other ways including … an orgasm! Yes I read a story the other day about a woman having her first orgasm at 45 and travelling over to the spiritual world for a while – though the pleasure that woman must have been feeling could have made anyone feel like they were visiting the stars!
Now can people actually have outer-body experiences or is it a load of old tosh? There certainly isn’t a good case for it when people like Lisa, a compulsive liar who is a contestant from the UK’s Big Brother 9, claims to regularly leave her body among other dodgy comments such as seeing little green men and being friends with one of the scientists who discovered human DNA!!
Now despite people like Lisa who claim to have ‘done it all’, there are many people who don’t boast about it and seem to be genuinely telling the truth. Now what I feel is the biggest supporter in the arguement of astrology is that many people actually have the same vision of light shining down on them or a tunnel appearing (that’s right … it isn’t a cliche!). It’s like when people say, religion must exist if so many people follow it. In that case … why don’t people apply the same principle to astrology if so many people have had the experience of leaving their physical body behind them?
Personally, I get abit doubtful when there is a mention of spirit guides and angels though I do believe that our soul does live on after the death of our body on Earth. Some people think “If the afterlife is eternal, wouldn’t the place get crowded with all the people that die?” but the answer would be no because time and space are illusions as I shall explain in a different article so I don’t go off topic.
Whatever the outcome, we shouldn’t fear death. If there is an afterlife, then that is all well and good. If there is absolutely nothing but complete death, then we will not know any better anyway. And as for hell, I don’t think that exists because the universe doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong does it? Plus I think everyone would be forgiven for their crimes and given a chance to start over. So there’s no hell I don’t think. I still wouldn’t recommend going out to kill people or steal, but you shouldn’t feel that you can’t do something just because it is ‘forbidden’ by religion.
Back to astrology anyway. I’m guessing that anybody would like to have an experience like this, especially if it is triggered by an orgasm
! Imagine gliding weightlessly without your body as a burden and having the extra realms of omniscient consciousness unlocked. Doing this would be amazing and I think its a definite ‘I’ll need to see it to believe it’ thing for most people.
So that’s my view for you. I believe that there is an afterlife though I don’t know what it will contain. And I also believe that people do have outer-body experiences if so many people have reported them but just watch out for the fantasists (sorry Lisa, but you do make me laugh with your stories!)

You might find The Tibetan Book of the Dead ( best english transl. by Robert Thurman ) interesting. These Buddhist psychonauts have actually, consciously crossed through the bardo (life-death threshold) and have many insights, but I should warn you, every action and thought you make in this and previous lives does indeed affect your next incarnations. Though they’re not really “yours” are they?

what if this whole reincarnation thing is part of a mind conciousness programme designed to keep you trapped?if you pass on and are being guided to another life without your own concious intent your still in the matrix.
