lol, it's a really good movie, dude. Its title just makes it sound obscure and odd, which it totally is, but like it's got some existentialism stuff and philosophy in it. It also has some "new age" concepts.

By the way, thanks for all the advice. I really do appreciate it. Namaste.

Try manifesting anything in your waking life, be it making a drawing, writing poetry, building something, etc etc. The long, grinding process of bringing it into fruition is like a meditative practice, and you have to keep a certain expectation. As long as you, overall, keep the expectation, of "I'm gonna get this done" while exerting yourself, it'll get done. Self defeating expectations like "this will never get done" will prevent it from happening. The same applies in the dream world, only expectations manifest instantaneously.

IOW keep thinking positive no matter what setbacks happen?

No one has tried my What's in The Box Challenge.

If you don't, this kitty will cry.

I don't think I'd like any of this stuff, as like 90% of my dreams are fairly unpleasant. So I'd guess my subconscious/portion of the spirit world/whatever probably really sucks and is filled with fighting all the time.

That would be cool, but I'm terrible at building things.

Actually, I just thought of something. Have you ever seen the movie "I Heart Huckabees?" Could I achieve a similar effect from doing what the main character of the movie does? In case you haven't seen it, he puts on an eye mask and lies in the bathtub, meditating, I guess... I suppose it couldn't hurt to try. The only problem though is my bathtub doesn't work too well for lying down. It's not long enough.


Holy sh**. "I heart huckabee this" "I heart huckabee that" "borrow my tape of I heart Huckabee" "Did you watch I heart Huckabee yet".

My friend lent me a copy of I Heart Huckabee, and last night someone was over and asked me if I'd seen I Heart Huckabee. I'm gonna have to watch it tonight once and for all.

I'd suggest try laying in a warm bathtup and using the method abacacus mentioned. Just try to figure out a way of doing it without getting your headphones wet. Maybe just use those ear muffs for shooting ranges. Better yet, get some swimming ear plugs and play some white noise from a stereo away from the tub. Also use the ping pong balls. I think I'm gonna have to try it. I have no experience with sensory deprivation


That movie was funny. But astral projection is, I don't know, something of a fantasy. I've tested it and it is mind-blowing. Very in tense.

Why is sex always in the box? It's either sex or death for me. Wish I could just go over rainbows and have a nice dinner on a magic carpet ride or do something innocent.

I'll gladly tell you what's in the box as soon as I figure out how to astral project and locate the damn thing.

Where is it located. I would like to get a hold of some of their tranquilizers.

In order for hell to freeze over, it must first exist.

Also, your presence in this thread is a bit annoying, BUT at least you didn't tell me I was gonna get possessed by demons or something. I've had a few people tell me that...

My vision of " Brave New World" may have been a result of an accidental drug ingestion however my vision focused on the sexual values of the society rather than the societies tolerance of drugs.

Advocating illegal drugs? There has to be some WP rule against that.

GGPViper beat me to it, but I'll re-iterate...

There is no valid empirical evidence to support any claim for psychic abilities, an astral plane, an ethereal plane, or psionic principles -- these belong to games of the fantasy genre. Testimonials are not evidence. Belief is not evidence. Rumors and assumptions are not evidence. Show me some evidence, please?

What's In The Box?

I have a container. This container holds three common, ordinary objects. The container is located where it can not be disturbed by strangers. The challenge is for any alleged Astral Projectors to locate the box, examine it and its contents, and then report in this thread everything you've learned about the container while in astral form.

This is not a game of "Twenty Questions". I will not provide hints. You must provide a complete and accurate description of the container, its location, and its contents. I will acknowledge only those claims that are completely accurate.

Oh, and check your spelling. If you say "The container is red", and it turns out that the container is actually a newspaper wrapped around its contents, you can not claim to be accurate just because the words "red" and "read" are homonyms.

Of course, I expect the usual excuses to this challenge ...
  • "It doesn't work that way" -- Well, the claim is that astral projection allows the practitioner to leave his/her body, travel around at will, and observe object and events in remote locations as if they were physically present.
  • "I don't know where to project" -- Concentrate on my avatar; it features prominently in the location where the container is hidden. If intent is any guide, then you should find the location right away.
  • "You're blocking my attempts" -- Wrong. I doubt. I do not prevent. It's up to you to either prove your claims or admit that you can not.
  • "You will not believe me, anyway" -- Wrong again. If you get the location and a description of the container and its contents 100% correct, I WILL BELIEVE.
  • "I do not have to prove anything to you" -- Then as far as I and other skeptics are concerned, you likely have nothing to prove at all.
Now's your chance to make another believer. Don't pass it up.

If you really want to make believers, then there is always the James Randi Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge.

... unless you have some lame excuse about not being interested in the money, so if you win, just give it all to me!

:lol:


The box in question is a money box with the Ford logo on it and a few cars behind it.

there is one penny inside, with the presidential figure and an eagle on it, not being from america, I have no idea who the president guy is, but I can see it was minted in 1998.

one standard blue pen, clicked in with the point facing upwards.

And a blue truck with "There is no such thing in existence as astral projection, but it would most certainly be cool as hell if it did!" imprinted on the side of it; also with the Ford logo.
