Through the Fog<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the past week or so, every astral travel experience has been odd. I don\u2019t use the word \u201codd\u201d lightly because in my experience every trip into the astral is strange, weird, off, and unusual, but these past few trips have been odd in a whole new way.<\/p>\n

From the moment I leave my body and begin walking around this other world, my movements become sluggish and my sight gets cloudy. Reaction time is slow and comprehension is even slower. \u201cI\u2019m stoned,\u201d I hear myself say. \u201cHow did I get this way?\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fair question. In the physical world I\u2019m clean and sober, so why does crossing over mean walking into a thick fog?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve asked the question out loud but have yet to receive an answer. Not believing in \u201cjust because\u201d I can\u2019t help but to search for the meaning behind it. As I\u2019ve mentioned in previous articles, and as you are probably aware, in the astral realm there is a voice. I generally call it The Voice of Truth because that has been my experience: ask a question, get a truthful answer. The downside is that the answer is hardly ever detailed, rarely ever full of explanation. Usually all I get is the minimal amount of information.<\/p>\n

Such is the case with the faux stoned fog.<\/p>\n

I ask what is happening and The Voice of Truth responds, \u201cYou got stoned.\u201d<\/p>\n

I ask, \u201cHow?\u201d<\/p>\n

VoT says, \u201cYou did.\u201d Such answers make me doubt just how much truth is in that darn voice.<\/p>\n

I ask why this is happening, the VoT answers, \u201cBecause you got stoned.\u201d<\/p>\n

I say, \u201cI don\u2019t like it,\u201d and the VoT tells me, \u201cYou just have to wait for it to wear off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seriously? I still don\u2019t understand any of this, but the VoT is right, it does wear off as I continue on with my travels and move from place to place. But it takes awhile and I find myself aggravated by having my movements, eyesight, and thoughts all slowed dramatically by this fog.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like an explanation: what is it, why has it happened for so many days in a row, and how does one get high in the astral plane? Without knowing it?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll just have add this to my long list of \u201cwhat the heck, astral world?\u201d questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
