QUESTION: Masters is there really a way for mortals to get into the spirit world and if yes, where would I go? My uncle was able to go there once, but passed of cancer in 2010 therefore I have no way of asking him. An entrance to the spirit world could mean seeing him and other close family members again. There are rumors going around about Convergence. I really suck at meditating, I have only been able to do it for 5 hours MAX. ~B., Canada
ANSWER: There is not a way for a mortal, who is a human, to take its human body into the spirit world or dimension, but there is a way for the consciousness of a human to enter into the spirit world to visit others and gather knowledge. For centuries those known to most as mystics have perfected ways of shedding their burdensome physicality and flying freely in the dimension of souls.
Many techniques allow one to flee Earthbound shackles and venture upward and outward. The mystics used meditation but also various forms of chemicals, such as hallucinogens, to allow their minds to wander. Modern-day journeyers experimenting with drugs, who are unprepared for meeting nonphysical souls, frequently become disorientated and end up diagnosed as psychotic or insane.
A gentler way may be to use hypnosis to cut the ties to the body and permit the consciousness to seek its own interest levels. The Monroe Institute, located in Faber, Virginia, in the US, specializes in assisting people to reach these states of awareness using audio recordings. They use a binaural beat – slightly different frequencies channeled into the opposing ears – to allow the two sections of the brain to be synchronized to a single specific frequency.
The Monroe Institute has available hundreds of different types of recordings as well as whole programs, and they offer residential programs at the Institute and several other places around the world. They have some programs focused on connecting with those souls who have passed on from this world, and also assisting those who are stuck and can’t fully move on.
When you meditate for long periods of time, what do you accomplish? Eastern methods just have you sitting in the quiet, not doing anything – what a waste. Meditation should be a state in which you clear your mind of physical thoughts and allow the consciousness to be open to communicating with your guides and those around you. As long as your head is clear of personal thoughts, you are meditating and receptive to messages coming through. Start practicing mind awareness, not concentrating on breathing, sunsets, candles, or tones. A clear head is an open receiver for the spirits that abound.
