| I thank for the advice.
I'm more or less through it, though there are things that can never be forgotten.
Such a thing, which has no connection to the bad parts as such, I was 3-4 at that time, and got my hand on a hot stove, burned it terrible, you can't see a mark today, and I can't remember the incident, but everytime I approach heat or a flame of any kind, the body reminds me of the experience. And it is that way with more things, something you have mentaly forgotten but it will never leave the body.
Once again I thank for the advice, and I might try to find that book.

| Speaking from experience .... I have passed out one or two times. I experienced absolutely nothing. Does this mean there is not a heaven or hell?
Well tomorrow is a Friday and I can afford a hangover on Saturday.... so Friday night I can sacrifice my liver and kidneys and do some serious research in the search for the truth for my fellow agnostics.

The process in the book is a good one to let those things go. A good test to see if your still hanging on to stuff from the past is to notice the next time you get really upset about something that is happening now (like an argument with your girlfriend etc.) and the unrelated stuff that happened in the past a long time ago also comes up for you as well during this time. If so you are still hanging on, it would be a good thing to buy the book and learn how to let go. |

| This must have been really a vision. Dreams like this, or daydreams like this don't just happen like that... |

| I woud have to say it was just a dream for him. People have dreams all the time, doesnt mean they're real in any form. Seems to me this guy lost himself in his research which he continued for years. I'm sure if i cared so much about a dream, any of which ive had that i remember, i could find some similarities betwen past events. Doesn'y mean that the dream was of any significance. Coincidences are just that, coincidences. On the other hand, he could just be making the whole story up to gain attention, which he surely has gotten! It's amazing how certain things are stretched so far just because of what people want to believe. I'm sure if i had a dream that i went to leprechaun land, very few would believe me. But why? they both have the same amount of evidence in my mind. One the other hand, if he really did go there, then perhaps he should have brought back more evidence ie physical evidence. What that would be,i dont know. But his story is just words, and you cant base reality on stories.

My dreams and daydreams are rather wicked/freaky if I may say so myself, blood raining from the ground up into a sky of tormented souls, seing your loved ones reduced to dust infront of your eyes only to have the rematerilise seconds after with their insides out.
All rather hellish visions I'd say, but meh I don't know what I'm trying to say here other than dreams and visions like that do happen without the need for them to be real.
Yeah I'm a bit messed in the head, but no worries I'm a nice kid.
