The fellow living over the road from me once told me about his OBE. When I asked him for details he recounted flying low over the landscape and up the wall of a dam and over the water. He said it looked just like physical sight. That experience seems to me to be etheric projection. Astral projection differs in that there may be many strange creatures and that, since the astral is of the element water, there can be many inverted reflections that are easily misunderstood

"everything is perfect" From the perspective of The Source of All, that seems to be correct. The TSoA seems to generate Existence in order to experience. As far as I can detect, dark experiences are useful as light experiences. Presumably the intelligences bound up in the dark experiences are learning by doing If so, humans may be better to stand above their human experiences, as an adult stands above the tantrums of a child

I understood him to mean that there are easier ways of achieving the same results - for example speaking to the spirit as an equal

William Bloom took months with the Abramelin process. He told me it was successful but not worth the effort https://www.amazon.com.au/Sacred-Magician-Ceremonial-Diary/dp/0906362180

Using any substance from within this solar system (e.g. mental and emotional substances) necessarily engages the user in solar systemic karma - and of course mental and emotional processes tend to flow in the pre-existing patterns of that substance. The usual way out is to lift the operation of the light-body/aura beyond the most contaminated planes Others may assist the out-working of the karma through their lives and relationships Many years ago I visited Clava Cairns at just the right time for the sun to shine exactly along the passageways to what was the dark center of each now collapsed cairn. So I stood in the centers to feel the energy flows. For some reason in the third cairn I tried to recite an important spiritual verse that I knew very well. I found I made mistakes in every line. I tried at another cairn and had the same problem. I visited the cairns a year later, again accidentally when the sun lined up with the passages. This time there was no problem in reciting the verse perfectly. I did some tests and it seemed to me that in my first visit the mental space around the cairns had never felt that spiritual intent before and it was hard work battering the mental substance into shape. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clava_cairn

So what is the nature of the urge to keep eating well beyond necessity?

My own view is that multiple wills exist in the human format. For example, many have difficulty stopping eating a favorite food. Others are greedy for power. At a more abstract level, it is useful to distinguish the personal will from the transpersonal will

ensoul /ĕn-sōl′/ transitive verb To endow with a soul. To place, receive, or cherish in the soul. To indue or imbue (a body) with soul. It is my observation that on each plane on which it exists, a being (e.g. a human) has substance that is made coherent by an elemental natural to that plane - thereby forming an active body That body may be enlivened by a higher intelligence, commonly a nature spirit, that manages the actions of the body in the broader context - thereby developing skills and forming relationships If the now useful body appeals to higher intelligences, one such may over-light/ensoul the body. In the case of humans, a solar deva may ensoul the higher mental, heart and spiritual will bodies. The ensouling may continue as long as the higher intelligence finds the process useful, and/or until a more appropriate intelligence becomes available. The more appropriate intelligence may operate on a higher plane within the natural structure of that being. Thus there are different stages in the unfolding of the human.

Some of those lives are on parallel timelines. Often I experience those while dreaming. A common sign is dreaming of people I know well, that look a bit differently in the dream and are the wrong ages or in the wrong relationships compared with this 3D timeline In one dream I was with a cousin. She looked a little differently so I asked her if she was my cousin in the 3D timeline and she said she was. My long-passed mother was also in the dream and much younger than I ever remember her.

That might be a bit binary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_heavens

Good and evil are very humanized concepts. Better perhaps to consider the processes that produce and remove Existence/Creation and the purposes for such. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pralaya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tzimtzum

Agreed. The real You produces a range of parallel lives to develop the human skills necessary for the purposes of the real You

What is the process by which survival of the human race becomes the priority? If that were really the priority surely humans would not keep killing each other https://thirteen.space/27-types-of-extra-terrestrial-beings/

Who made survival the purpose?
