I was saddened when I heard that a dear friend of mine had suffered a stroke and fallen into a coma. According to the doctors, the stroke had caused only minor damage, yet he could not wake from his comatose state. After visiting him in the hospital, I learned that time was running out. So I decided to explore the possibility of meeting him in the non-physical realm, to see if I could help. What began as a simple idea turned into a breathtaking adventure.
The territory of belief systems
According to Robert Monroe, there is a territory of belief systems just beyond Earth. This means that when people die, they move to the sector of that territory that matches their deepest, often unconscious, beliefs. In all my previous journeys, I had never encountered this territory. But the journey with my friend gave me a firsthand experience. If I had known beforehand what it would be like, I think I would have reconsidered.
Preparation
I considered this OBE journey important and took it very seriously. I dedicated myself to thorough preparation and to finding a suitable location. The first question was: where to go? Fortunately, a friend of mine owns a beautiful white dome on top of a hill, overlooking nature and the Atlantic Ocean. It is an amazing place in the middle of nowhere. She doesn't live there, but happily agreed to let me stay while I cared for her sheep and chickens.
To align myself with my objective, I spent five days in the dome on a strict, light diet. In the first few days, I walked often, silenced my mind as much as possible, and gently cultivated the energy of my intention: "to help my friend in any way necessary for him and within my possibilities."
The OBE journey
After a long walk on day four, I felt the moment was there. I made sure no external sounds could disturb me by putting on my Sony noise-canceling headphones. For this journey, I decided to use a breathing technique to shift my focus from the physical to the non-physical, where I would invite my friend.
After focusing fully on my breath for a while, I noticed a subtle and pleasant shift in my energy. This was the vibration I needed to move from here to there. The connection with my friend was instant. The first thing I learned was that he was burdened by guilt over something terrible that had happened with a woman in an African country. I received no specific details, but the guilt he carried was overwhelming.
The door of Heaven
Suddenly, we found ourselves in a large space, some kind of reception area. A few individuals stood in the back behind what seemed like a long table. We stood before a massive door. I understood that this was the door to Heaven, and I realized that my friend had a Roman Catholic upbringing.
"Can we go in?" I asked.
"No, not now," came the short reply.
"You can go there," the message said as I looked to the left and saw another door. It was the door to Hell. I was not eager, but I felt it was important to visit that place with my friend.
Hell is hell
Without further hesitation, we moved into Hell. I have no words to describe it. It is the most horrible place I have ever been. The feelings, energies, and substance are truly dreadful. While there, I realized that my friend had been placed under a voodoo spell because of the incident with the African woman. I had to use all my energy and focus to move through that space. As I did, I directed my attention to the one who had cast the spell, declaring that it was not yet time for my friend to die and that he would never return to that African country again. Then I tried to cut the energetic cord of the spell. I felt immense relief when we finally left Hell.
Meeting God
After Hell, I thought of bringing him to God. We moved through a space with the intention of meeting God; and there He was, ready to receive my friend. I stepped back so they could be alone together. I did not hear what they discussed, but at one point I saw God place His thumb on my friend's forehead. I had the feeling that my friend had asked for forgiveness. Soon after, he was done and ready to return. We went back to where we had first met. He seemed relieved. We each went our own way.
Visiting Heaven
The practical truth is this: once you have visited a non-physical place, it is fairly easy to return. It is like calling a contact from your phone. Once the contact is saved, you can easily reconnect.
One evening, while reflecting on my OBE journey with my friend, I remembered the door of Heaven. Curiosity stirred in me. I shifted my focus from here to the door of Heaven and asked if I could enter.
"Sure," came the answer.
I went in. Wow!!! This is truly a spectacularly beautiful place. I was stunned by the magnificent nature; pure, lush, and glowing with amazing colors and fruits, and streams of fresh and clear water. Everyone I saw wore white robes and moved in joyful peace and harmony. A greater contrast with Hell is unthinkable.
When I arrived at what felt like the center of Heaven, I saw beautiful crystals. I asked if I could take one.
"Yes, you can," was the friendly reply.
I took a crystal and placed it in the center of my heart.
My friend's death
After about two months in the hospital, the doctors saw no improvement of the kind required by their protocols; neither to keep him longer in the hospital nor to move him to a dedicated facility for awakening people from prolonged comas. They convinced the family that it was best to transfer him to a nursing home for palliative sedation, where he could die in peace. This meant essentially withholding food and water to support a gentle but certain transition.
Some time after his death, I came across a picture of him and decided to see how he was doing. I shifted my focus to his energy and realized that he was very happy and peaceful in Heaven. He had let go of his guilt and was able to enter his territory of belief systems in such a way that he could enter Heaven. The heavy feeling I had carried about his death dissolved, and I instantly felt inspired to do something else.
Good energy in Hell
With the sense that all things unfold as they should, and that all things ultimately end well, I projected myself to the center of Hell. I took the beautiful, radiant crystal from my heart and placed it there. Whether it will have any effect or not is not important to me. I simply enjoyed the idea of bringing a crystal from the lightest place to the heaviest.
Final thoughts
Belief systems are deeply woven into the fabric of our existence. They shape our reality; here on Earth and even after we have passed away. On other journeys, I have learned that there is something we might call a soul recycle system. When we go to the light, we are judged, and after some time, our soul is recycled into a new experience here on Earth. Regardless of our opinion about this, it is part of a larger story, and it is okay to remain neutral about it.
It is also good to realize that the actual judgment does not come from others. Ultimately, it comes down to this: we judge ourselves. Judging ourselves and others is something many people do continuously. Simply observe your thoughts for a while and notice every time you judge something, someone, or yourself. It’s quite revealing.
OBE and astral projection are beautiful tools for stretching or eliminating limiting belief systems. For me and many others, it has brought peace and freedom.
