4073: Marching in March from Lincoln County Watch
By Anna Von Reitz
Many
years ago I was traveling down a five-lane interstate highway on a nice
sunny summer day. I was in the middle lane with a white subcompact car
about 50 feet in front of me, and maybe 100 feet ahead of me, on either
side, were two semi-trucks steaming along neck-and-neck.
The
driver of the white car suddenly accelerated and lost control for
unknown reasons and went careening forward and to one side, racing in
front of the semi in the right hand lane, causing the truck to swerve
and brake violently and leaving the trailer end of the truck swinging
into my lane.
Suddenly,
I was no longer watching this from ground level. My viewpoint was up
in the air about 300 feet seeing the developing accident unfolding in
slow motion. From that perspective, I could see that if I floored it,
there was enough room for me to shoot through before the rear end of the
semi blocked my lane and killed me.
So,
anti-intuitive as it was, I stomped on the gas pedal, shot through the
momentary gap, and emerged unscathed on the other side of the wreck.
That
was my introduction to "perspective displacement" -- the ability to
project your consciousness to other viewpoints and the fact that we have
another set of eyes that are not connected to the physical body. It
was also the second time in my life that I experienced "slow motion"
tracking of real-time events.
As
the adrenalin pumped through me, and I realized that I had escaped
certain death by NOT braking and accelerating instead --- something I
wouldn't have done except for being able to see the momentary clear
space to squeeze through -- I had a lot to think about.
How had my point of perception shifted outside my body and 300 feet into the air?
How was I able to see from this new vantage point without my physical eyes?
Why and how did everything appear to move in slow motion, like a movie that was deliberately slowed?
This
experience proved to me beyond any doubt that such things were factual
and actual. And it didn't take drugs to create this altered state of
consciousness. All it took was a situation that forced me to exercise an
unknown, and therefore, unused ability, that I already possessed.
Unknown
to me, I had the ability to launch my perceptual ability out of my body
and view the world from different physical viewpoints. I also had the
ability to slow down the input of visual data, to allow me to evaluate
and respond to the situation.
Who knew?
Now, you might think that I am "special", but no, this is just one of dozens of unused abilities that are common to Mankind.
It's
because we are not taught anything about these abilities, that we don't
develop them and use them; and, that is too bad, because it cripples us
and leaves us in the dark about ourselves and about our world.
As
we enter the month of March, we leave behind the last vestiges of the
old yearly cycle, and hopefully, this year, we are leaving behind a lot
of baggage from the past.
We have gone through this housecleaning period to leave room for new and better experiences in the year to come.
For
now, try some baby steps. Use your ability to visualize things as a
stepping stone to develop your other abilities. The more precisely you
can envision things, the faster you can develop these other natural
abilities.
Bob Proctor recently enumerated some of these natural but relatively undeveloped abilities:
(1) perception
(2) will
(3) memory
(4) intuition
(5) reason
(6) imagination
(7) attention (focus)
There
are more esoteric levels of these same abilities, but they are just as
natural and built-in, and are a consequence of developing these basics.
Just as a baby learns to run by crawling and toddling and walking and
then eventually can run, developing each of these abilities leads to new
levels of awareness and expression of these basic abilities.
Many,
many people who have been in life-threatening situations, whether on
the battlefield or just driving down the highway on a summer day, have
experienced "slow motion" perception, and many of them have also
experienced changes in perceptual viewpoint, too.
Such
perceptual shifts are also a common part of Near Death Experiences,
where thousands upon thousands of people report suddenly "being outside
of my body, looking down" at their body.
Performance
artists and public speakers also commonly experience perceptual
viewpoint adjustments, as they learn to "observe themselves" to improve
their performance. Advanced martial artists commonly learn to see
movements in slow motion and from multiple viewpoints.
Finally,
there are numerous documented cases where people who have lost their
physical eyes -- literally, or have otherwise been permanently
physically blinded, but are nonetheless able to see.
What
all these experiences have in common is that you are seeing things from
a viewpoint that -- in terms of your body's actual physical position
and what your eyes can see from that position --- are "impossible" to
see.
They
are literally outside your physical range of vision. Or, vision in any
normal sense is impossible, but you continue to see anyway.
What does this imply? It implies that your eyes exist apart from your physical body.
It implies that you, your consciousness, exists apart from your physical body, too.
My
friend, Chief Fast Horse, was run over by a car as a young man. He was
pronounced dead at the scene, taken to a hospital, pronounced dead at
the hospital, toe-tagged, and taken to the morgue. His body was placed
on one of those refrigerated pull-out drawer gurneys in the morgue and
that was that.
Perhaps
an hour later, his Aunt, a woman that not even death would mess with,
showed up, marched into the morgue, pulled open the drawer and said
something like, "Charlie! What are you playing at! I know you're not
dead! You can't be dead! Get up!"
And he did, just like Lazarus.
I have had the Near Death Experience, too.
We are both here to tell you, you are not your body.
You
can safely and profitably experience this fact simply by changing your
perceptual viewpoint, so this week, practice projecting your viewpoint
to observe yourself or to view the world through different eyes.
Exercise
your ability to "zoom in" and closely observe detail and then, "zoom
out" to envision the roof of your house, and zoom out further to see
your whole neighborhood from above.
Go
to your Happy Place, but this time, instead of mentally walking down
the path, project your viewpoint into the eyes of a bird and fly there,
instead. Or observe the scene from the perspective of the family dog.
Each
time you engage in these harmless exercises, your perceptual abilities
grow and expand and become stronger, just like exercising a muscle----
albeit one that is weak through disuse.
Don't
be discouraged if you find it a little difficult to do at first. All
your life your viewpoint has been fixed and limited and you have
accepted this, because you were never encouraged to explore this natural
ability.
Imagine that you have wings, but never knew you could fly.
