Thank you Coelbren. I had my first episode in 1975. I knew nothing about sleep Paralysis or out of body experiences. After being paralyzed for a long time I was finally able to move and got up to leave the room. As I got to the door I turned around to see if my girlfriend was still asleep. Thats when I saw myself still lying in the bed. What a shock! I thought I had gone crazy. It happened every night for a month. The creatures would come and chase me. I quickly noticed they didn't come untill I felt afraid and so I learned to focus my thoughts. Later my guides came and we embarked on my spirtual education. I was never religious or spiritual before that time. I asked them what the purpose of all this was. They said the purpose was to have no fear. Fear only blocked the love from manifesting. Keep this in mind as we head into the changes that will soon be upon us. The physical world has moved into a time where thoughts are being manifested as quickly as they are on the astral. What all are seeing is their fears manifested. The darkness they fight in within. To survive this period Embrace that darkness that is part of the self and seek to know yourself that you my serve those will be in need at this occurs. Have no fear and serve as you find your own gifts and you become part of the flow of the one creator. Love and light from a now old mystic.
