Most Initiates Fail Part 2

This is a continuation of this post:

https://starlight432.blogspot.com/2023/10/the-vast-majority-of-initiates-fail.html

When a human fails to do good and instead defaults on abuse with gifts granted by higher forces, these higher forces actually have to pay a price for giving the human such gifts.  The evolution of both the human and the higher forces is damaged.

It's much easier to have metaphysical awareness and abilities after death, but having this when in a physical body, with all of its instinctual programming/drives and so forth... this gets very tricky.

Learning from adepts of the past, in order for a human to become an adept, this takes many lifetimes just to prepare.  And according to the theosophists, when someone dies, they take about 1000 to 1500 earth years to incarnate again. 

Humans have to go very slow, and there are probably no shortcuts.  Someone can't simply conclude that "I'm going to become an adept in this lifetime" if more incarnations are needed to prepare.  If the evolution is too fast, the human's animal nature rebels on overdrive, causing the human to sink into extreme depths.  Someone who receives an awakening when they aren't meant to in this lifetime can develop major darkness.  This is the dark side of 'waking up' that almost no one talks about.    

What is an "adept" anyway?  Something like this:

"A person who has attained an exceptionally advanced stage of spiritual evolution through many lifetimes of disciplined self-development.  An adept is said to have complete mastery over the physical, emotional, and mental nature, direct knowledge of spiritual realities, profound wisdom, and unwavering dedication to serving humanity.  Adeptship is achieved through a series of initiations and is regarded as the culmination of human evolution, with psychic or occult abilities considered secondary to moral and spiritual attainment."

This is great physical and metaphysical abilities combined with the wisdom to master all duality combined with service to others.  The implications of this are beyond anything I'm capable of in this lifetime, and also, dare I say it, beyond what virtually all lightworkers are capable of in this lifetime.  I wonder how many spiritual people have actually 'jumped the gun' and are accelerated beyond what they should handle in this lifetime. 

It's fine to live a life in the here and now without getting super 'metaphysically fancy.'  The alternative may be to become like some of the ones I mentioned in part 1 of most initiates failing.  And, when kundalini gets intertwined with 'Et stuff,' results may not be so good.

When people who mess with kundalini become sexual perverts and/or lose their minds, when people who meditate too much get into a state of unrelenting psychosis, and when people who work with the occult let it go to their heads (big time), it explains quite a bit.

Off and on, I sense judgement being placed upon me for not waking up to the degree needed, with me being seen as a failed initiate.  Really though, I'm fine being more physically oriented, because the physical world is so unique with so many possibilities.  It's possible to go beyond all judgment and hierarchy and be engaged in the present moment with the physical world (disclaimer: if not being bombed and tortured and so forth).  If I'm in a physical body, maybe it's best to be preoccupied with the physical world.  

I'm not ready to have constant conscious awareness and volition in the astral and mental plane.  This would be an astronomical amount of responsibility.  And apparently, once this is activated it cannot be turned off.  Maybe in a future lifetime I'll be ready to be an adept. 

It's fine to work with A432 frequencies.  Some level of awakening is alright.  Yet, with these initiations we keep hearing about, which probably includes initiations necessary for direct positive Et contact, this is something else entirely.  I'm not interested in making first contact with Ets for this reason.  Or, the Ets would need to only be type 1 on the Kardashev scale.  They would not require adepthood, nor high mastery of duality.  (Earth is currently estimated to be at 0.73.)  

(I'm not saying the above in the context of 2012 Portal.  Cobra has changed first contact to require initiation, which is a contradiction of previously promised direct interventions; initiation was not a prerequisite before.  I'd prefer to just 'not go there' anymore with that entire paradigm.  It gets too messy.)

I'll conclude this post with a Kardashev scale up to type 3 with spirituality keeping up with technological progress:  

"Type I:  Planetary unity and responsible stewardship achieved, with a significant degree of collective psychological and spiritual maturity.  (Non-dystopian type 1.)

Type II:  Most individuals have attained what many traditions would call advanced realization or adeptship, allowing the civilization to wield stellar-scale power responsibly.

Type III:  Spiritual mastery is nearly universal, and the civilization's technological and conscious development have advanced together across a galactic scale."

May As Well

Getting 1% better every day, which was mentioned by Cobra at his latest workshop, was started in the 2000's by Dave Brailsford:

https://durmonski.com/self-improvement/1-better-every-day/ 

And, it became popularized by James Clear's book, Atomic Habits:

"Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones is a 2018 self-help book by writer James Clear on habit reversal. Its general assertion is that the willpower a person needs to overcome a negatively-affecting habit, such as an addiction, is most easily developed by slowly replacing it with a small and minimally exerting positive habit—"getting 1% better each day"." 

The subconscious can indeed handle 1% better a day without this backfiring, and this does add up.  If it works, may as well make use of it.

In the Interest of Fairness 

Sheldan Nidle was making the same promises since the 1990's that Cobra has been making.  I mentioned this in a previous post, and an awesome commenter recently mentioned the Wikipedia article that goes into this: 

"The narrative stated that during Earth's entry into the photon belt and no later than December 17, 1996, a mass landing of 15 million star ships of the "Galactic Federation" would complete the raising of the consciousness of humanity using their advanced technology. This would achieve a paradise of sociological and ecological evolution—a galactic and divine society—by 2012."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_Crew_Project

An explanation for why the mass landings and transformation of earth did not take place is the archon invasion of 1996 stopped all of this.  Yet, it does reach a point when no explanation works anymore, with strong doubt in the entire paradigm taking hold.  However, in the interest of fairness, there are independent confirmations of 2012 Portal.  Azara commented this recently:

Leaving it Open  

When I really started using my imagination with the white flame just before making the previous post about it, I had a vision of a male with long hair who looked like he might be an Aldebaran.  However, this could have been an adept or master in a physical body, or a being projecting downward from the Devachanic plane, or a positive thought-elemental, and so forth.  Currently, my strategy is to not say one way or the other if this was a positive Et, leaving it open.  Talia Pharol pointed this out very well:

Yet, if the being expressly states that it is an Aldebaran, such as with Azara's description, maybe it is.  I find both Talia's and Azara's comments on this to be very noteworthy – just in different ways.  Maybe one could leave the being as uncategorized unless the being chooses to reveal where it came from.  And, it's up to the one encountering the being to conclude if the being is what it says it is.  (Azara's account sounds legit; 'fair is fair.')

Adepts Did Not All Agree (with Tangent Rant)

One thing's for certain:  Positive forces/intelligences take a liking to those who show initiative.  Yet, in my case at least, I feel better not associating positive forces with Ets.  I very much prefer to instead work with material from past adepts.  This is much smoother because Ets are no longer looked to for interventions, and all the confusion and cognitive dissonance that Et intel tends to bring is also absent.  With adepts from the past, there is no frustration with planetary change taking too long, nor does one get the feeling of, "We had a deal.  Why wasn't the deal honored?"  Adepts of the past didn't go into Ets and interventions and so forth like this.  They instead focused specifically on how all the planes and metaphysics operate, and other related ventures.

And hey, suppose Cobra's paradigm is the real deal.  Ok, great.  The Ets can help personal and planetary situations behind the scenes for the most part, even though this could be changing for some through "inner contact."  Yet, I at least have better things to do with my time than, for example, chase after geopolitical events while trying to link this to the light forces and underground resistance operations without really knowing what many of these operations are (because we're not told what many of them are).  Many times such 'efforts of explanation' fail.

So, with all the different speculations – anymore, no thanks.  With (fill in the blank ad nauseam), no thanks.  Sorry, but this stuff just isn't where it's at for me, and maybe not for some others as well.  But hey, people are going to 'do their thing.'  Why go around 'chasing one's tail' though?  That's what it looks like much of the time with this stuff.  Oh well.  

Some may get offended and think I'm being too harsh, and I'd love to be proven wrong.  "Look Starlight!  (Fill in the blank situation) really did work out!"  And, maybe it will work out, but the timeframe may be longer.  To the ones saying "Summer of 2026 is going to be huge!", yeah, yeah.  Summer of 2025 was supposed to 'be huge' as well, and it's not out of line to say that it was basically a dud.  Sorry, I'm not going to play these games anymore.  But hey, if Summer of this year really is huge, and I mean huge by Event-level interventions, then great, I can be wrong.  Again, I'd love to be wrong. 

But yeah, I remember the mass meditation for covid back in April of 2020, with Cobra posting a chart of the numbers going down shortly afterward as proof of its effectiveness, only to have the numbers skyrocket to levels far worse than ever before within months as the chaos and crackdowns on human rights increased to insane levels.  Sure, the whole 'covid thing' was mostly concluded... about two years after far exceeding critical mass!  (Ok, end of tangent rant.)

Back to adepts of the past.  Even with adepts of the past, there were inconsistencies, which is something I keep in mind:

https://chatgpt.com/share/6a355bf5-546c-83e8-be60-73a0b133b6c9 

The above GPT convo is well worth checking out, I promise.  And I wonder, is it possible to change the programming of the Causal Body through intent when physically incarnated?

The True Vastness of Et Intel 

For those who feel guided to explore other horizons, there are countless individuals and paradigms that go outside Cobra's.  Here's a massive list of alleged contactees: 

Alex Collier, Amorah Quan Yin, Ananda Bosman, Arizona Wilder, E'Asha Ashayana (aka Ashayana Deane), Barbara Hand Clow, Barbara Marciniak, Barney Hill, Betty Hill, Brad Johnson, Buck Nelson, Carla Rueckert, Christine Day, Clifford Stone, Corey Goode, Daniel Fry, Darryl Anka, David Icke, David Parcerisa, David Wilcock (rest in peace), Dolores Cannon, Don Elkins, Eduard "Billy" Meier, Elena Danaan, Enrique Barrios, Enrique Castillo Rincón, Ernest Norman, Ethel P. Hill, Eugene Drake, Frederick Spencer Oliver, Gabriel Green, George Adamski, George Hunt Williamson, George King, George Van Tassel, Howard Menger, Howard Storm, James Gilliland, James Rink, Jason Rice, Jay Essex, J.J. Hurtak, Jean-Charles Moyen, Jim McCarty, Jim Sparks, JP (Michael Salla's anonymous military experiencer), Kelly Rosano, Kim Gougen (she mentions Ets while not being centered around them, but is worth mentioning), Lyssa Royal Holt, Mark Richards, Max Spiers, Megan Rose, Michael Prince, Michael Relfe, Michael Wolf, Miriam Delicado, Nada-Yolanda, Norma Milanovich, Orfeo Angelucci, Patricia Cori, Penny Bradley, Phil Schneider, Phyllis Schlemmer, Randy Cramer, Rebecca Campbell, Reinhold Schmidt, Ricardo González Corpancho, Ricardo Rojas, Robert Dean, Ruth Montgomery, Ruth Norman, Ralf Ettl, Sarah Adams, Sherry Wilde, Sister Thedra, Sixto Paz Wells, Steven Greer, Stuart Holroyd, Suzy Hansen, Teri Wade, Terry Lovelace, Timothy Good, Tim Tactical, Tolec, Tony Rodrigues, Travis Walton, Truman Bethurum, Tuella, Val Valerian, Wendy Kennedy, Whitley Strieber, and William Tompkins.

Some of these are primarily channelers (Anka, Marciniak, Cori).  Some are known mainly for abduction/experiencer accounts (Strieber, Walton, Betty and Barney Hill).  Some are SSP or super-soldier claimants (Goode, Cramer, Rodrigues, Bradley).  Some are researchers, promoters, or intermediaries whose claims involve ET contact but who are not always direct contactees themselves (Wilcock, Good, Rink, Salla's JP case). 

Yes, I used AI on the list.  And of course, many of the channelers are not 'legit,' but were included nonetheless.  

There are many more alleged Et contactees found on James Rink's youtube channel and post-channel:

https://www.youtube.com/@SuperSoldierTalk/videos (Rest in peace James Rink, who died in November of 2025 from heart issues which he was saying were from directed energy weapons.) 

https://www.youtube.com/@SuperSoldierTalk2/videos  

With physical contacts, there are advanced craft that were reverse-engineered from real craft by governments/corporations.  There's also Project Bluebeam and other advanced holographic technologies, and there's of course AI in the mix.  There needs to be a definite way to know what one is getting, and perhaps in time, this can be made clear in ways that words cannot describe.  And actually, with all that's been said, the isness of the moment feels like it mysteriously surpasses everything.  Many experiences cannot be described with words. 

I'll be keeping an open mind, but will also not allow all of the different possibilities to be overwhelming.  And, the adepts from the past provide a powerful and vastly under-represented filter to deal with all the claims being made in modern times.  One can 'narrow information down' for much-needed clarity.

The Great Astral Purge – Let it Begin!

Someone once said, "Occupy the astral!"  I concur.  One can: 

– Imagine vast armies with White Flame blow torches incinerating all the nasty astral stuff. 

– Imagine vast armies with phasers frying them with any kind of preferred light beams. 

– Imagine vast armadas of star ships with their lasers.  

These are just some examples.  There's no limit! ⚡️

 

Why Ets and the Event = Boring

The sciences are considered boring by much of the ‘awakened community.’  Yet, at least the sciences actually deliver results.  No, the results are not replicators and ‘all the cool Star Trek tech and beyond.’  However, at least the results are physically real.  And, the intelligence needed to create cars, jets, computers, and so forth, is actually astonishing.  So many don’t even know how all the tech we already have even works.  And, it gets taken for granted all the time.  

Probably, most of the awakened community will say, “Our sciences and tech are so boring compared to what Ets have!”  Hold on a second though.  If all these Et promises of medbeds, replicators, advanced ships, and so forth, do not manifest for humans over several decades and counting (this actually got started in the 1950’s), I can only arrive at the conclusion that... drum roll please… Ets are boring.

Adepts of the past may have warned about 'Et stuff':  

“Those who have fallen under the sway of the “Star Rishis” tend to have no interest at all in knowing the actual facts about things, have no time for Esoteric Philosophy or Spiritual Science, dislike thinking and using their mind, and prefer to cast aside the Ancient and Ageless Wisdom in preference for science fiction type fantasies of archangels flying round the Universe in spaceships and Masters (often calling themselves by the names of the real Masters) going for picnics in the Milky Way.” 

Source:  https://blavatskytheosophy.com/beware-of-the-star-rishis/  (Thanks again to the awesome commenter who mentioned this site.)

Adepts from the past didn't give flashy, ADHD promises.  Their knowledge is probably also seen as boring to much of the awakened community, but at least their knowledge has real applications to real metaphysics (the closest to "real" that I've encountered thus far at least), just as human science has real applications to the physical.  And yes, of course opinions by some of these adepts about karma and so forth can be bypassed.  Maybe the whole ‘karma thing’ (which is often weaponized) has changed, or is in the process of being transformed.  Whatever the case may be, the bottom line is, learning about other planes (that Et material mostly doesn’t specifically go into and distorts when it does) can be very useful, and dare I say, even interesting.  

Sorry, but Ets all have one thing in common:  They perpetually fail to deliver on their promises.  Promises failing to deliver with perpetual delays is by far the most boring of all.   

I’d of course love to be proven wrong with some actual, real Et excitement.  But instead, we get told there will only be any real excitement at the Event.  And, the Event could keep getting protracted year after year into the future.  How utterly, massively, boring.

Possible Meaning of "Sequence," Filtering Out Accordingly, Getting a Better Grasp of the Dreamstate, and A Constructive Area of Focus

Possible Meaning of "Sequence"

Humans function through interpenetrating vehicles, with the causal body on the higher mental plane, the mental body on the lower mental plane, the astral body on the astral plane, the etheric double on the etheric levels of the physical plane, and finally, the dense physical body.  As consciousness descends through these denser and denser vehicles, one's Source-nature becomes increasingly veiled.  Higher energies are converted many times before reaching the physical world.  Code language such as "Sequence" could be a way of bringing different "light codes" that descend into layers within layers of increasing density to finally reach the physical.

Filtering Out Accordingly 

Adepts from the past say that the original "Masters" (rather than "Ascended Masters") are already in physical bodies on earth, and operate with full conscious volition on all planes simultaneously.  They are not said to be disincarnates at all.  Thus, adepts of the past would maintain that there's no needed clearing of any subquantum/lurker for the ascended and the light forces to fully intervene on the physical plane.  I'm learning a very different paradigm that drastically differs from 2012 Portal on many crucial levels.

However, there are pleasant vibes when thinking of positive Ets and advanced civilizations.  And, there are pleasant vibes and light that can experienced from Welovemassmeditation material, such as the Rainbow Flower of Life.  Yet, at least in my case, Et intel must be mostly avoided.  It just ends up getting in my way because of the inconsistences.  Adepts of the past exposed the Jesuits too (thank you to the awesome commenter who mentioned this), so I figure, if looking at intel at all, why not just stick with theirs?  (With discernment of course to filter out what needs to be filtered out.)  Anyway, that's just what works best for me.  Others may differ, and that's fine. 

Getting a Better Grasp of the Dreamstate 

When in the dreamstate, it's possible to distinguish between what's from the lower astral, mid astral, higher astral, and mental plane.

People can go up to the mental plane when asleep at night, but it's extremely rare for this to be remembered.  I was extremely lucky to have remembered going up to the mental plane over a decade ago, mentioned in my previous post. 

Remembering going up to the higher astral in the dreamstate is somewhat rare, but not extremely rare.  The higher astral has scenery of very pleasant nature scenes (Summerland), although this is just one example.  One could also have a dream of being in a positive futuristic civilization (maybe somewhere between type 1 and 2 on the Kardashev scale), which could also be from the higher astral.  One of the ways to distinguish the plane level is the overall feeling.  If the overall feeling is very uplifting, this is probably the higher astral.  If the feeling is neutral to somewhat dramatic, this is probably mid to lower astral. 

Although the mental plane can be translated down into astral imagery, the mental plane cannot be confused for the higher astral. There's a massive difference.  The energies of the mental plane are blissful beyond comparison.  Yet, the higher astral is really nice too, with definite paradise vibes.  (I wouldn't mind spending a considerable amount of time in Summerland.)  It goes something like this:

Lower astral:  Fear, obsession, confusion, compulsion, and emotional turbulence. 

Mid astral:  Ordinary human emotions, social interactions, personal dramas, and everyday concerns.  The vast majority of time spent and memories that come through in the dreamstate are the mid to lower astral for the vast majority of people.  Also, in the waking state, most people are unfortunately all-too-often tuned to energies of the mid to lower astral (the 'daily grind' and so forth).

Higher astral:  Harmony, beauty, kindness, refinement, elevated feeling, and a sense of meaning and well-being.

Lower mental (the 4 lower subplanes as 4-7):  Very strong clarity, with thoughts becoming absolutely beautiful geometries or very high-clarity environments.  There's an ultra-high level of order and direct comprehension and understanding, which is experienced as much more precise compared with anything from the astral. 

Higher mental (the 3 higher subplanes as 1-3, as the "Casual plane"):  The beginning stage of going beyond thoughtforms.  There is direct apprehension of wholes rather than sequences.  Ideas are perceived as unified causal principles rather than geometrical or symbolic structures.  Individuality becomes continuous identity over incarnations rather than a single thinker generating thoughts.  Forms of the lower mental plane appear as secondary expressions when projected downward into form. 

(There are of course realms above this, but oh definitely, this is plenty for now!)

In the dreamstate, the mid and lower astral can end up being a major distraction because this is where there can be a massive amount of intelligence and complexity in a way that lacks the beneficial guiding aspects of the higher astral and mental plane.  It's possible to get lost in such experiences.  (I've definitely 'been there' many times.)  It's alright to explore this, but maybe with some distance and a 'grain of salt' because it can get very tricky.

A Constructive Area of Focus

A constructive area of focus can be the higher astral and lower mental plane.  Even though much can be accomplished on the mid astral, the vibes of the higher astral and lower mental plane are essential for developing mental abilities, metaphysical abilities, motivation, and well-being.  Regarding the higher mental plane, most people do not consciously access it during physical life, and most are not consciously aware of it after death.  Yet, as humanity continues to evolve, this could change.

I wanted to find a video that is characteristic of the lower mental plane.  There isn't really anything that accomplishes this.  However, this can be regarded as a toned-down version of thoughts appearing as morphing geometries experienced there:

Where They Get It From, Metaphysical Attacks, A Disturbing Possibility, and A Legendary Book About 5D

Surprise, surprise – I have more time on my hands than I thought and I've been having more flashes of insight.

Where They Get It From 

The more I learn from adept material of the late 1800's and early to mid 1900's, the greater is my ability to see where virtually all current online occultists and Et intel derive material from.  They promote bits and pieces from such original adept material and run with it without having a solid foundation.  Thus, it makes perfect sense that there is so much distortion and insanity in occultism and Et spiritual groups in modern times.

Metaphysical Attacks 

Here's some more learning I did regarding metaphysical attacks: 

The two characteristics I'm currently aware of for being more vulnerable to metaphysical attacks are:

1. Believing in the power of the one who is attacking.  The attacker uses their victim's belief in their power to attack as a primary power source.

2. Being morally compromised/corrupted.  (This can also include high instability.)  This causes the aura to develop holes and cracks.  

(Directed energy weapons may be a different story.  This is only dealing with energy attacks that do not have technological assistance.) 

Regarding #2, it makes sense that baneful occultists would try to corrupt their victims any way they can, with distorted teachings with substantial followings being one such example.  The corruption is the most powerful when it's subtle and less seen.  Psychology can be extensively weaponized for such purposes.

A Disturbing Possibility

Has anything changed metaphysically from the time period of the mentioned adepts, or is the system exactly the same now as it was back then?  We may be moving into a new age and so forth, but what if the evolutionary rules behind changing ages really hasn't changed, despite claims from various intel sources to the contrary?  For example, what if the lords of karma are actually still in existence and in full power?  If so, 2012 Portal lightworkers may be in for a very unpleasant surprise!  (I'm not saying this is the case, but it's always a good idea to cover all bases and be prepared for just about anything.)  

A Legendary Book About 5D 

The only one I can find from back then who wrote a book solely dedicated to the Devachanic Plane (aka Mental Plane, aka 5D) is Leadbeater.  This book was first published about 130 years ago.

 

 

I copied the transcript and uploaded it to GPT (sorry, it's ridiculously useful for this sort of thing) to compile a description of this plane's magnificence with direct quotes:

This must have been the realm I was taken up to over a decade ago in the dreamstate.  It's true that when I was there, absolutely nothing from earthly experience could remotely approach the bliss from this realm.  My life on earth did not matter in the slightest.  After I came back into my body and continued about my day though, this feeling quickly disappeared.  And, I'm incapable of remembering how it felt, as the feeling was truly not of this world.  I do get glimpses when attempting to access it though.

It's important to state that it's not expected that others be in '5D mode' when incarnated on earth.  Everyone has a variety of backgrounds and priorities, and often times the loosh gets way down when being more 'down to earth.'  I myself try to enjoy the simple pleasures of life and 'make do' the best I can.  Yet, Leadbeater's book and my experience are definitely worth mentioning.  And, 5D can stream down into the astral and physical.  All the realms are connected.  

How Attention Works, Continuing Learning, and Regarding Singing

How Attention Works  

The nature of a 'black hole' is thus:

Both positive attention and negative attention upon it only gives it more energy.  Is 2012 Portal a black hole?  Others may make their own conclusions.  I for one do much better when I simply don't focus on it and instead pursue other ventures.  

I've called matters out so many times with Et intel.  I've 'been there done that' extensively, but even this ended up becoming an ensnarement.

Continuing Learning 

Although Charles Webster Leadbeater may have had 'issues,' his material is extremely useful for learning about the astral and higher planes.  This would be the next audiobook to carefully listen to after listening to "The Astral World" from Atkinson (aka Swami Panchadasi):

 

I'm also learning from Helena Blavatsky's material.  

There's so much to all of this.  I'm truly blown away by the depth of information.  And, I don't care who it's from anymore.  If Crowley himself had useful information, I would learn from his material, and I may in the future.  (Discernment of course being used, keeping what is useful and discarding what is not.) 

Here's a small sample of what I've learned:

– The top three subplanes of the astral are what many call "Summerland."  More on this here:

https://spells8.com/the-summerland-afterlife-wicca/ 

– The astral is refined physical matter beyond the gaseous and plasma states.  It is the realm upon which desires (pleasure/pain duality) are burned out, especially in the lower subplanes, before going up in frequency to the mental plane.

– When someone who had strong desires in physical life dies, they have a longer duration in the astral.   

– Once finished in the astral, the core of who the person really is goes up to the mental plane.  Their astral body is shedded and becomes an astral shell or corpse as it decomposes in the lowest subplane of the astral.  So, just as someone sheds their physical body in the physical plane, there is also the shedding of the astral body in the astral plane.  

– Those who lived a life with a sufficient degree of intentionally 'balanced duality' are either very briefly in the astral after dying, or they go straight to the mental plane, bypassing the astral entirely.  (The astral body is instantly shedded).  It's possible to instantly go higher than the mental plane upon death, but this is extremely rare.  

– The mental plane has reduced duality and less conflict-driven polarity compared with the astral and physical. 

– The vast majority of seances actually only channel other entities or the astral shell of someone that runs on autopilot, or the "shade," which was all the lower aspects of the deceased that temporarily has intelligence before decomposing as an astral shell.  Channelers become very corrupted from this.

– The more someone was ensnared within 'base personality traits' in physical life, the less of their personality they can take up with them to the mental plane.  Those ensnared parts are encased within the astral shell, decomposing with it upon being shedded.  

This is really amazing material, and I'm really inspired to keep learning.  Maybe some others will be as well.

There are also concentration exercises, such as focusing on an object for a time and tuning everything else out.  Cultivating the ability to concentrate is massively needed on 'planet ADHD.'

Regarding Singing

I've found that when I sing/chant to A432 and/or Solfeggio frequencies, this backfires.  It's much better to just be in silence if listening to these frequencies.  Somehow it's too much of a good thing; it becomes a corrupting force.  Others may or may not have the same finding.

Anyway, I could go on and on, but I'll end this here.  Others can figure out what to do and what not to do.
