I certainly know what you mean about feeling as though you are the only one awake, the only one who "knows" . . . all star people have felt this at times, some most of the time.

Photography is an expression of creativity, as star people are naturally drawn to the arts. Being creative and productive is vitally important to us.

It makes sense that the photos you take of yourself, allow you a more direct and visual study into your own psyche, the real you.

The eyes are the window, truly. This is the physical characteristic I am most drawn to when meeting people for the first time, it is what I notice first and how I determine who/what they are. The eyes are a very compelling feature of star people, and they become a sort of identification link to others.

I know a woman whose eyes have no life - that sounds strange but it is the only way I can describe them - no depth, no color, no sparkle. It is difficult to look directly into her eyes because there is absolutely no connection whatsoever. She is not enlightened, and there is no desire to search, learn, or evolve. She is resolutely entrenched in the material, superficial existence of now.



No, you're neither rambling nor crazy . . .

Perhaps you are referring to an OBE - out of body experience?

Skeptics question the validity of a person being able to physically "relocate" their consciousness, but say that actual OBEs are from more "normal" sources.

Here is some information for you:
An out-of-body experience (or OBE, or OOBE) is characterized by subjective perception from a vantage point outside of one's physical body. It is sometimes associated with near-death experiences, hypnopompic or hypnagogic dreams, mystical trances or occult phenomena and psychoactive drugs.

An OBE may be contrasted with astral projection, which does not require the perception of one's own body from the outside. Astral projection does not typically posit that one's consciousness or soul is actually traveling through our day-to-day physical reality. An OBE may also be contrasted with dreaming, lucid or otherwise, by the intense perception of being awake and aware of the reality of the experience.

Not every OBE has exactly the same aspects, and it may be that there are several different types of OBE that have different causes and meanings. Some observations can be made based on collections of firsthand accounts of "spontaneous" OBEs - those that were not part of a planned program to induce the experience.

In the great majority of cases, the subject reported being asleep, on the verge of sleep, or having been asleep shortly before. A fairly large percentage of these cases refer to situations where this sleep is not particularly deep (due to illness, noises in other rooms, emotional stress, exhaustion from overworking, frequent re-awakening, etc.).

In some cases, the feeling of being outside the body is something that is suddenly realized after the fact; they see their bodies almost by accident. In other cases, they either will themselves out of their bodies or find themselves being pulled from their bodies (these are usually preceded by the feeling of paralysis).

The OBE is not generally long; on the order of a minute or so. Those who experience OBE may note that the subjective experience is much longer than the objective time passing.

The OBE may or may not be followed by other experiences which are self-reported as being "as real" as the OBE feeling; alternatively, they may fade out into a state self-reported as dreaming, or they may wake completely.

The OBE is sometimes ended by a fearful feeling of getting "too far away" from the body.

Many of these OBEs end with a feeling of suddenly "popping" or "snapping" back into their bodies.

Some people experience spiritual epiphanies; others experience a general feeling of peacefulness and love; still others experience fearfulness and anxiety. Finally, some experience only the OBE itself, with no direct spiritual experience.

Opinions regarding the objective reality of OBEs are mixed. An appreciable number of people believe the phenomenon is exactly what it feels like, and that the soul is leaving the body and exploring. Many OBE accounts are positive that the usual explanation, that the experience was a dream, is insufficient; and often cite the experience as having a spiritual effect.

Despite claims of some "projectors" who aver that they can initiate the experience at will, there is to date no reliable evidence that any imagery or information acquired during the experience could not have come from normal sources.
