In an interview format David asks her about her abduction experiences and presents video footage recorded at the scene of her abduction - which is claimed to be the first ever video of an alien abduction. Sonia talks about this experience and about the views of abduction in the muslim community.

  8. How many people experience god?

    Its true - we are not capable of achieving this state of becoming One, it is a gift bestowed upon us by what I call the Source. When I had the first of my experiences I was out on a midnight training run, a 5 miler. I was around 18 yrs of age and had never even contemplated such things, and to be honest I never spoke of this most beautiful experience to anyone. I had no comprehension of what a blessing I'd just received. If I'd said anything to my Mum or Dad they would have locked me up ! My Dad already thought I was a little odd because I was reading books on metaphysical matters(Steiner in particular) from the age of 12 or 13 ! My 'love' of Liverpool FC was what staved off more ridicule from my family ! I have had a few more Oneness experiences - but I cannot instigate one myself, if it happens it happens and I truly appreciate it. But, its an experience which is impossible to fully describe. To be at One is Pure Bliss, and I am forever grateful that I have had fleeting tastes of this beyond words experience. I watched an interview on Conscious TV on You Tube with a lady doctor - Dr Samanta-Laughton, who was talking of her own mystical experiences; and her parents wanted her locked away in a mental institution ! She has written a few books, one is called 'Punk Science - Inside The Mind of G_d', which I've partly read and can highly recommend it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Punk-Science-Inside-Mind-God/dp/1905047932/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1371039574&sr=1-1&keywords=punk+science I think this is the interview Namaste, gentlewind
  9. The Tao of Dying

    The parental downloads are a nightmare, well some of them. I have a wacky and weird sense of humor - this I inherited from my Dad; his favorite catch phrase was, 'I'm looking for a bald headed blonde' ! I have probably developed his wacky humor further - hope he likes it ! I do like dark humor, which my wife doesn't appreciate - in fact it freaks her out. I came out with cancer and tumor jokes, which she wasn't impressed with. My Mum, she is responsible for a lot of my really negative downloads. Especially my harsh judgemental observations - now almost gone . She was an emotionally cold woman(product of her strict Belgian catholic upbringing), no hugs or kisses or bed time stories when I was young - or even old . My Mum was an alcoholic, she started drinking when I was 11 and my teenage years were chaotic ! I never knew what state my Mum would be in when I returned home from indoctrination camp. My depression was due to my Mum's drinking and the added problems it brought with it, but here I am 40 or so yrs later clear of depression through working on myself. Yes the work is ongoing, and when progress is rewarding. Even when we fail, we don't really fail. Its another opportunity to try again and complete the task. I used to become frustrated by my failures, and mentally beat myself up, but no more. Dr Eben's interview is inspirational. I too may get his book ! As you say we are Love, sadly we have forgotten this. We need to rediscover this and quick, and you know what we are ! I can feel the change happening, starting with me. This year especially my heart chakra has become a major focus for me, I am picking up other people's emotions. It took some getting used to - can you picture a 6 ft 1 inch man crying for no apparent reason ! I was feeling the heartache of my daughter who was breaking up with her boyfriend ! We don't need to over complicate the transition process, we need to remain centered and conscious of the process. Some people will become frightened and they will react to the transition according to their conditioning/downloads. Some will go to catholic heaven or hell, some will go to the buddhist realms and so on. But in their own time they will figure out the Truth. Keep everything simple. Man likes to complicate everything. Ever been to a catholic funeral ? If I ever go to another one I'm taking a pogo stick ! Up and down, up and down !!! Jeez ! Posted this one before, but its a good 'un ! Namaste, gentlewind
  10. Watching The Birds

    I am fortunate that my hearing is fairly OK as one of the possible 'side effects' of being involved in the heavy metal scene is a loss of hearing due to spending so much time listening to very loud music ! Rehearsals - 12 hrs daily over the weekend, then when your out on the road its the sound checks and then the gig; so I am fortunate to still hear the birds sing ! As for dancing, well, I use a walking stick to help me get around - that would be a funny sight ! So I dance, only I do so in my consciousness, and that way no one gets hurt !!! We, well a lot of us, have been so conditioned by what I call the System, that we have forgotten how to dance and our soul's are the worse for this. Their are dancing groups of people worldwide who meet under the banner of Sufism, how I wish we had one locally. I have seen such meetings on You Tube, and they are truly joyful occasions. I'd not be able to dance but I can listen to the singing and music. And on that note !!! I'll bid farewell for now ! Namaste, gentlewind

  19. The Tao of Dying

    Certainly cat. Daily Scan. Thrice times daily. To be done in a place where you will not be disturbed. Turn all phones off/silent. 1. Then sit or lie - comfortably ! Close eyes. Gentle breathing for about 2 minutes until the body/mind is calm and relaxed. 2. With your mind's eye slowly scan your body, you will pick up where the trouble spots are located. 3. When you find a *trouble spot purify it with your White Light, and then return to scanning the body and when you find another trouble spot repeat step 3. 4. Do the above three times. 5. Then visualize yourself (physical body and aura) in a cocoon of pure White Light. 6. Take a few minutes before coming out of this scan, how long is entirely up to the individual's discretion. * Trouble Spot. The area may feel physically 'tight' or sore, even tender; the key is 'you' will know. The Trouble Spot may not have any physical indications but you will sense something is wrong - like a psychic blockage, again repeat Step 3. You will know how long to apply the White Light, it is an inner knowing. My other practice. I also try to remain aware throughout the day of how 'I' speak/react to people and to situations, and old memories which surface. I have discovered a lot of my reactions are influenced by the conditioning I have received, for example I 'inherited' my Mum's highly critical reaction - and I could be very hurtful to the person concerned. By being aware of this I have now deleted this completely - PHEW !!! I was guilty of out bitching my Mum, and she was an Olympic Champion - ouch. The mind is a greedy sponge !!! I hope this helps. This practice has really helped me. I've never shared this before, so I'm hoping I've explained it properly. If anyone has any further questions please feel free to PM me. Blessings All. Namaste, gentlewind

  23. thelerner, thats fine ! I don 't expect everyone/anyone to believe me. I was just sharing my experience in light of the the thread's subject matter. Of course I expect a few will try and make fun of what I say, sadly they find it easier to do this rather than engage in an open and adult discussion. And this is why I responded in the manner I did. Some folk when responding in this manner do themselves no favors when seeking a cheap laugh when a topic is being discussed seriously. Thelerner you have put your points across in a reasonable way, some would do well to take note. A lot of craft that we see are inter-dimensional. Some are from other Star Systems. And some are man made. Fascinating subject. I have a friend who has written books and appeared on various UFO and Abduction shows, he's originally from Australia. He has a web site which is closely monitored by various security agencies - if UFO's are not real why are abductees kept an eye on ! Its no picnic being an abductee, most of us don't want to be abducted. But we have no choice. Namaste, gentlewind
  24. The Tao of Dying

    Some folk are too immersed in their conditioning. Others have begun to remove these unwanted downloads, which cause more hassle than those pesky pop ups: however their is still much work to be done in discovering these harmful viruses. It is wise to do an internal scan at least three times a day. I meditate upon my coming transition at least three times a week. I imagine my consciousness laughing as it bids farewell to its vehicle of operation, and then grabbing hold of a rainbow colored rope as I Bungy Jump Home ! I use my NDE as preparation for my transition Home, you see on leaving my body I entered an ocean of brown swirling clouds, I was never frightened - but I was curious as to what was happening ! It was a short journey through the brown swirling clouds, and then I happened upon a most glorious and enchanting Land; for to my young 12 yr old eyes it was a Land - sand, golden sand everywhere. I didn't walk when I moved, it was effortless, in fact I question was I the one moving ! I drank .in the vibrant, dancing colors which were alive, and radiated Pure Love. The sky was a beautiful blue, a blue unlike any blue I'd ever seen on Earth. The Sun was bright but nowhere to be seen. I searched the majestic and soothing blue sky to see where the Sun was, alas, it was nowhere to be seen. I moved past bungalows built from glittering sandstone, I didn't see anyone else but knew I was not alone. Finally I arrived in what I would call a cathedral. It was huge, it went on forever. I looked around and counted 12 stain glass windows with figures in them, none I recognized. And then a Voice spoke to me asking me three questions, it was both internal and external, the Voice. Is your name - ***** ? Do you believe in g_d ? Do you love g_d ? And then I awoke back in my rented physical carriage. For months I suffered a great depression. Everything back on Earth was a drab black and white compared to the aliveness of the colors I had experienced when I returned Home (Home is infinite, just prepare yourselves for its breathtaking beauty - and prepare to be shocked, in a nice way). Please don't fear transition. I'm not using the word death from this point onwards as its meaning(whichever one you choose) is incorrect. I am using the term transition. For we are merely shedding the physical layer, as a snake sheds its skin; their is a clue in their - why do you think 'they' demonize the snake ! At this time I had an immense dislike of orthodox religion and gave my religious education teacher a really hard time at school. Often being sent out of the classroom. For me Bill Shankly was g_d(Liverpool FC Manager - legend), and Liverpool FC were my religion. The 11 players and 1 substitute were the 12 disciples - hey that makes Shanks Jesus ! Spooky ! I answered yes to each question. I don't use the word g_d and when I do I write it as I have here in this post. I prefer the term Source, and occasionally Beloved (Sufi influence). As I grew older and studied NDE I learnt more about my own NDE - and continue to learn. Blessings All. Namaste, gentlewind
  25. The Tao of Dying

    Proof Of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey Into The Afterlife with Dr. Eben Alexander III "Proof Of Heaven is Dr. Eben Alexander III's #1 New York Times Bestselling book about his near-death experience. A Harvard and Duke associated academic neurosurgeon, Dr. Eben Alexander's brain was suddenly attacked by a rare illness. In fact, it was the part of the brain that essentially makes us human, thereby making his near-death experience much more compelling to scientists and skeptics because his brain was incapable of imagination or hallucination. For seven days he lay in a coma while journeying into the afterlife. Guided by a spiritual being yet having no memory of his physical (human) existence, Eben learned about life after death, our purpose for being here, the power of prayer, insights about why evil is allowed to exist in our world, and so much more. I'm honored to share this in-depth interview with one of the most likable and eloquent scientists of our time." ~ Bob Olson, Afterlife TV http://www.afterlifetv.com To Purchase Dr. Eben Alexander's Book Proof Of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey Into The Afterlife (Amazon affiliate): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASI... ABOUT DR. EBEN ALEXANDER III Dr. Alexander, a renowned academic neurosurgeon, spent 54 years honing his scientific worldview. He thought he knew how the brain and mind worked. A transcendental Near-Death Experience (NDE), in which he was driven to the brink of death and spent a week deep in coma from an inexplicable brain infection, changed all of that -- completely! He was shocked to find the hyper-reality of that spiritual realm, which many had reported in NDEs. He has spent the last four years reconciling his rich spiritual experience with contemporary physics and cosmology. His spiritual experience is totally consistent with the leading edges of scientific understanding today. Together, science and spirituality will thrive in a symbiosis offering the most profound insight into fundamental Truth, yielding unimaginable power. The keystone is in global progression of individual conscious awakening. Many in both the scientific and religious (or spiritual) realms must denounce their addiction to prejudiced, closed-minded, dogmatic beliefs, in order to open our awareness to this novel synthesis of understanding Truth. By probing deeply into our own consciousness, we transcend the limitations of the human brain, and of the physical-material realm. The spiritual realm is real. Seamless blending of science and spirituality will occur.
