Here are some more information for Rare Wonderful Vivid:
Are out of body experiences real, or all in the imagination? How can you tell if you are truly out of your body...or simply hallucinating the whole thing? And is there any real PROOF, or way to verify the experience really happened, or do you need to simply trust your own intuition that it did? In this article we are going to take a quick and insightful look at the out of body experience and see whether or not you can TRUST that your soul (or spirit) or simply your astral body really DID go somewhere else! Curious to know more? Great... continue reading as we take a closer look below!
Filed Under: Veridical Information
What is it? Information and facts learned while out of the body that you simply could NOT have learned if the whole thing was imagined, made up or simply all in your head. The truth? Many people have astral travel experiences that have NO veridical information at all...and are most likely, I hate to say, all imaginary in nature. But some of us have had experiences so incredibly vivid, detailed and specific, that it would be IMPOSSIBLE to explain away using conventional methods. (like imagination, hallucination or wishful thinking) What kind of stuff can be veridical in nature? Lots! People, places or things seen while in "transit" that are verified later. Landscapes you describe that you've never previously visited that are accurate. Even PEOPLE you meet in the astral realms that share in the experience with you, and later report back the same stuff that you've seen as well. (very rare... but CAN, and does happen more frequently than many cynics would like to admit, especially if you are practicing with a partner)
Filed Under: Look for Clues! (and set yourself UP for success)
Did you know there is a study happening right now (in 2009) called AWARE...and being held in emergency rooms around the globe as I type this. What is it? It's the first EVER scientifically sanctioned study of what happens during the OBE part of the near death experience. And the ER doctors have all kinds of "clues" set up to test what the people who CLAIM to have been out of their bodies, really see while they are! Very cool... very controversial, and will be super exciting to watch the results! (which are scheduled to be published in 2011) You can EASILY emulate the same thing, but simply having someone else leave you clues, or random things around the house in places you CAN'T see in your ordinary state of visible awareness. Look for the clues... and report back later on what you saw (if anything) and how accurate your "sight" really was!
The bottom line?
Out of body stories are MORE than real! As a matter of fact, most of us believe they are "HYPER" real, or more clear, and more cogent than ordinary experiences for sure! And the only way you're going to be sure about yours...is to try to "track" what you see when you're out. The 2 simple tips above will certainly help make you a BIG believer... especially if you get positive results!
The bottom line?
Astral projection is truly the MOST fun, liberating and life changing experience you can imagine.
Just about ANYONE can do it...and with practice and training, so too can you! (And believe me when I tell you, life will NEVER look the same once you have.)

The Modern Wonders Of The World
Apparently, it's time to turn the page on the original Seven Wonders of the World ...
Since only one of them is left standing, and since most people can't remember what the rest of them are, anyway, this is a good idea for someone who has too much time on their hands and the ability to raise money.
In this instance, that would narrow the candidates down to one Bernard Weber. He's a Swiss idealist who is behind the New 7 Wonders Foundation, which he founded in 2000.
Weber's motivation is simply to call attention to the marvels made possible when mankind applies positive energy. In fact, should his foundation actually generate profits, he intends to use at least a portion of them to rebuild lost marvels. Specifically, he cites the Bamiyan Buddha statue, a cultural masterpiece which dated to the Fifth Century AD and was senselessly destroyed as a blasphemous icon by the Taliban when their stilted act tyrannized Afghanistan.
The original Seven Wonders were so anointed by an ancient geek, Philon of Byzantium, and an ancient Greek, Antipater of Sidon. Those were the days before travel agents and tour guides, so perhaps each felt a need to fill the void. Whatever their inspiration, they were not the first to get the idea.
The concept of such a list was first mentioned by Herodotus in his seminal 'The History' in the Fifth Century BC. Later, around the Third Century BC, Callimachus of Cyrene, the top logster at the legendary Museum of Alexandria in ancient Egypt, wrote "A Collection of Wonders around the World." These lists varied in content, but Philon's prevailed, due in part to its mention in engravings by the Dutch artist Maerten van Heemskerck (1498-1574) and Johann Fischer von Erlach's 'History of Architecture.'
Here are Philon's seven wonders:
1. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, although some historians believe they were an ancient urban legend and never really existed;
2. The Statue of Zeus, which honored the first Olympic games, was later moved to Constantinople and ultimately destroyed by fire;
3. The Temple of Diana at Ephesus, the largest known building in ancient times which took a century to build and was subsequently senselessly destroyed as a blasphemous icon by Christians when their intolerance tyrannized southern Turkey;
4. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, which stood for 1500 years until the Maltese Knights of St John used its stones to build their own mega-castle nearby;
5. The Colossus of Rhodes, which towered 120 feet high at the city's harbor entrance until it was destroyed in an earthquake, and which later served as the inspiration for French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi when he created the Statue of Liberty as a gift to the USA;
6. The Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt, whose beacon had a range of 100 miles and which stood for 1500 years before falling victim to an earthquake in the 1300s; and
7. The Pyramids of Egypt, the lone wonder still standing.
Once Weber confirmed there was no official Seven Wonders of the World being sanctioned by any recognized bodies, he established a website, gathered an impressive list of professionals --- architects, engineers and the like --- and began the process of nominating structures worldwide as potential Wonders. During the subsequent years, visitors to his site answered his call to vote and the nominees were pared to 77.
Recently, these were winnowed to 21 --- another multiple of seven, if you hadn't noticed --- with the voting set to continue throughout 2006. The new Seven Wonders will then be announced on New Year's Day, 2007.
I've gone to Weber's site, perused the finalists and did my cyber-duty by voting. All are truly worthy choices, but I didn't find it difficult at all to quickly make my decisions:
- The Great Wall of China, where the term 'breathtaking' is an understatement;
- The Easter Island Statues, also known as Stone Clones Gone Wild;
- Petra in Jordan, for its mixture of intricacy and magnitude in its status as the world's most spectacular city carved out of sandstone;
- Stonehenge, a Druidic version of the ultimate perpetual calendar with a timeless design;
- Neuschwanstein Castle in Füssen, Germany, because that's the way castles are supposed to look;
- The Taj Mahal at Agra, India, because Richard Halliburton said so in one of my favorite childhood tomes, 'The Book of Marvels,' and his vivid description therein sold me on it forever; and
- The Hagia Sophia cathedral at Istanbul, because I think at least one Wonder should contain Viking graffiti, and Halfdan did the honors --- which are still prominently visible --- during his stint with Byzantium's Varangian Guard.
One interesting twist to Weber's foundation is that its home is cited as the Heidi Weber Museum in Zurich, which also happens to be a landmark structure designed by the Swiss architect and visual artist Charles Edouard Jeanneret, who became famous under his nom-d'art of Le Corbusier. This building was commissioned by Mrs Weber, to be named after its designer and to house various artworks created by him. It was completed and opened to the public in 1962. However, disputes arose between the two parties, and when Le Corbusier died, the entity which survived him took up the case against the Webers. Among other things, this resulted in a re-christening of the building to its current title and legal squabbling over everything from exclusivity for artwork sales rights to website domain names.
The Heidi Weber Museum is rarely open these days. The irony of its creative legacy and legal history compared to the mission statement of Bernard Weber's New 7 Foundation is rich. Clearly, universal harmony in the recognition and preservation of famous structures is easier said than done.

Last weekend’s literary connectivity, and what I’ve been reading lately
On the weekend I was up in sunny Brisbane for the Australian Booksellers Association 2010 conference. It’s a conference for members and friends of the ABA – so, booksellers, publishers, and some librarians and media. I was officially there as a ‘blogger’ – on a panel called ‘Customers, Connections and Communities’, with Andrew McDonald from [...]
