I'm meeting with spirits on other planes.

[AmyWilson]

It's true. :)

I'm astral projecting more often these days and often meeting with spirits/angels on other planes. It often helps to meditate before each astral projection, or to stimulate the chakras somehow.

It's true.

[Jas]

I love you, Amy Wilson.

Shine on, you crazy star.

[gtc]

Stimulating my chakras is why I am never allowed to visit Borders Bookshops ever again.

It's true.

[Jas]

Damn!

Speaking of chakras, I forgot to pick up batteries and London Drugs, AGAIN!

[schplurg]

So, if I get my chakras stimulated by an angel on a plane, do I get to join the Mile-High Club?

[jhunter1163]

Didn't stimulating his chakras in a public place get George Michael in trouble?

[Jas]

I thought he was trying to pay to stimulate a policeman's chakras.

[CaptainManacles]

I use to meet spirts on other planes, but now they have all these strict rules about not drinking and piloting an aircraft at the same time.

[SezMe]

How absolutely wonderful for you, Amy. :rolleyes:

[BrianSI]

If you're astral projecting you shouldn't need a plane.

[vbloke]

it's the new Samuel L. Jackson movie: "Spirits on a Plane"

My cat's name is Mittens.

[Mojo]

it's the new Samuel L. Jackson movie: "Spirits on a Plane"A friend of mine had trouble with those. By the time the plane reched Canada she was legless.

[Flo]

Never stimulate a chacra with spirits over 25° proof, especially on a plane ...

[Curnir]

I'm having a cup of coffe right now

It's true! :-)

[Crossbow]

If the spirit of a tree falls on a astral plane and no one is about to hear it,
Then does does it make a sound?

Yes.

It's true.

While its certainly true that people can "meet" with "spirits/angels" on other "planes" during certain levels of meditation/yoga/gnosis, its not what you think.

The "spirts" you are meeting with are aspects of yourself which have been personified. The "astral plane" is a level of consciousness similar to that of lucid dreaming...let more aware and conscious and with a high level of control which makes detailed and vivid visualization easy.

The aspects of yourself could just as easily be personified by visualizations of aliens, ascended masters, ancestors, The Buddha, animal guides, cthulhu, fairies, or whatever else your belief structure demands.

The "astral plane" could just as easily be visualized as Heaven, Valhalla, Olympus, a fairy hill, an alien spaceship, or wherever else your belief structure demands.

I heard that Richard Gere got chakras stuck in his astral plane and had to go to the emergency room.

It's true! :)

[Crossbow]

Yes.

Any other questions?


Thanks so much! I have often wondered about that.

By they way, do spiritual beavers use the spiritual trees to make spiritual dams on the spiritual creeks?

:)

They try, but the trees keep falling over when they're not listening.

Welcome back Amy

[Dinsdale Piranha]

I, too, have met these spirits on planes.

Their names were Jack Daniels, Johnnie Walker and Jim Beam.

Are these spirits saying anything falsifiable? How about useful?

Funny, funny, funny!

Limbo,
AmyWilson is a troll. She pops up from time to time and stirs the pot. It has been suggested that she is a sock puppet of a regular JREF forum member who is using her for satirical purposes. To date, I am not aware of any evidence to support that statement. Nevertheless...

Your comment in reply to her was pretty much factual, if somewhat wordy. Distilled down to its essence, it basically said what we skeptics agree on. Astral travel and out-of-body experiences fall into the category of dreams or hallucinations.

In some ways I have alot in common with skeptics, I just think about things in a different way...I would say more spiritual...more romantic way. There is no reason that spirituality and skepticism can't co-exist on some level. Spirituality need not include an ideology or a theology.

Romantics are made of stardust, cynics are made of the waste material from burnt-out stars. Do you take my meaning?

It's true!

[Pete Tattum]

Ans, I've just laughed my chakras off!

[RenaissanceBiker]

I would like to introduce you to Elijah Craig.

He must fly first class.

I'm in coach with these guys.

[Bronze Dog]

I heard that Richard Gere got chakras stuck in his astral plane and had to go to the emergency room.

I once heard that a fat old lady got stuck on a toilet on an astral plane for two hours (http://www.snopes.com/travel/airline/toilet.asp), and couldn't get off until they landed it back in her body.

[Lisa Simpson]

I heard the reason airlines tell you to put your chakras in the crash position in an emergency is so that when your astral plane crashes you die right away. Saves them money on lawsuits and stuff.

You don't seem to be the same Lisa Simpson I've come to know and love over the last, what, 18 years?

Who are you, and what have you done with Lisa?! ;)

[Lisa Simpson]

I had my chakras re-aligned.

[Piscivore]

Thanks for the warning.

That's where I was not too long ago, Limbo. I found a few reasons why spirituality and skepticism couldn't co-exist for me, and there are a lot of people here that can give you better ones, but dumping the ideologies is a lot of progress. Welcome to the forum.

"A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men."

[Piscivore]

Since they recently prohibited liquids in carry-ons, does that mean they want my motherf[rule 8]g spirits off their motherf[rule 8]g plane?

Naw, it's made by Heaven Hill. To me, first class is Makers Mark. You can sit down with Elijah Craig in coach and he's much more pleasant company than Jim Beam.

A (somewhat) kindred spirit!

I have been 'there' a while, and I am comfortable.

It'll be different for everyone. Milage may vary. Individual experiences make all the difference. That people find a 'place of bliss' for themselves without violating the rights of others is what really counts, in the end. Thats my philosophy, anyway.

And thanks for the welcome!

Exactly how is Amy Wilson playing us for fools?

I don't see how anyone in this thread has been fooled, DeBunk. Other than Limbo9, perhaps, but we have educated him.

[SezMe]

What is it that you know, DB, that we don't?

Huh?

[Lisa Simpson]

Critical thinking. Very funny.

Now that De_Bunk has done whatever self-important thing he thinks he's doing, can we get back to the bad puns?

[Piscivore]

Was De_Bunk's participation in this thread proof of a manifestation from the as[rule 8]le plane?

[Lisa Simpson]

I don't know, but excellent punnage!

[tomgv15]

Amy: What scent of incense are you burning? Usually, I burn vanialla, which sends me to the "I must bake cookies or creme brulee plane".

[Azrael 5]

Can Amy go back to talking about sex that was fun.

[Tricky]

I got caught in the Chakras once!! Very painful.
Me too. It was months before I could get my Kundalini to rise.

[Outhere]

Did I never until now notice that Amy Wilson is from California. The Golden State is in itself another plane of existence. I don't believe it exists when I'm not there.

And now the song "Lady is a Tramp" keeps going through my head. "Hate Amy Wilson, she's cold and she's damp..."

Oh the thousand natural chakras that flesh is heir to...

[Lisa Simpson]

Well, like they say: "California is like a bowl of granola; what ain't fruits or nuts is flakes."


I fall squarely into the "nut" category as I am a registered Democrat in extreeeeeeeeeemely Republican Orange County

It's true!

Skeptic Extraordinaire Michael Shermer has written and lectured extensively on the compatibility of skepticism with spirituality; very few people believe that the two are incompatible, as long as "spirituality" is defined to exclude belief in the supernatural. Not all skeptics have to be cynics-- though given the amount of credulous foolishness in the world, there is a high correlation :)

[Piscivore]

My spirit had to change planes in California once. The gate attendants were angels, but I may be projecting.

Did they have heavenly astrals?

[Stellafane]

I suggest ramming your chakras up your astral plane.

ETA: the obligatory "It's true!"

[Kochanski]

I lost my spirit on the luggage carousel at LAX once, I am much happier without that excess baggage now ;)

It's true :)

Grape nuts do not contain either grapes or nuts!

I think De_Bunk is feeling superior for recognizing that AmyWilson is a troll. Like the rest of us hadn't noticed.

[Lisa Simpson]

What?!?!?! Amy Wilson is a troll?!?!?!?!

[Piscivore]

It's True! :)

[Kochanski]

Einstein astrally projecting himself into the frig

[Chris Haynes]

Quiet! Mario was trying to astrally project himself onto the grape trellis to catch the squirrels... especially since he is not allowed outdoors (dumb cat cannot find his way home)...

[rats]

Since they recently prohibited liquids in carry-ons, does that mean they want my motherf[rule 8]g spirits off their motherf[rule 8]g plane?
Just had to repeat that one as it's still making me laugh!

[SezMe]

Maybe DB is Amy's sock. Or the other way around. I dunno. I also confuse my left and right socks. Oh, think of the children.

[Stellafane]

What?!?!?! Amy Wilson is a troll?!?!?!?!

No...no...must resist it...oohh, the temptation is too great...


Yes, AmyWilson is a troll...

Next you'll be saying Venus Fly-traps aren't from Venus...

[RenaissanceBiker]

They also aren't traps. It's true, for extreme values of truth.

[Gord_in_Toronto]

How do you know there are any flies on Venus for the Venusian traps to trap?

[AmyWilson]

Bump.

[RenaissanceBiker]

That's not a true bump.

[Piscivore]

Amy's just bumpin' her projections in the spirits' astral plane.

[RenaissanceBiker]

No, she's not.

[Piscivore]

Is she planing projections off the spirits' astrals?

[Bronze Dog]

So, does that put Amy in the Lightyear High Club?

[RenaissanceBiker]

I'm not just being contradictory, honest. It's true that I'm not.

[Kochanski]

It is true that a bit of sunlight will turn Amy into a bump ;)

[Gord_in_Toronto]

That's not a true bump.
Oh sorry. My foot kicked the table when you put the lights out.

[Flange Desire]

Amy, you naughty possum!

All this talk about stimulating the chakras!
You have me in suspenders waiting for your next post.

And all that bumping you do too!
You obviously adore all the attention.

What starsign are you?
I'm into asstrollery (sp?) just like you - I'm right on the cusp of uranus.

(sorry, carry on)

Can you provide flight numbers and departure times for those planes the angels are meeting you on - especially in advance so we can check them out. Oh, really, really so so sorry for you!!!

[Brainache]

I'd like to see a computer simulation based on the Flight Data Recordings.

Has anyone claimed that an Astral Plane crashed into the Pentagon?
