Time Travel – Is It Possible? Part 2



I should point out that for purely practical reasons, space exploration by any kind of space vehicle from your planet will always be limited due to the time factors involved. You will never be able to travel to the past or future in a vehicle as in the “Back to the Future” movies, since the past or future do not exist in the physical universe. But the do exist.

Travel to the past, future and the furthest galaxy is possible through usage of built in characteristics that you, the human species already posses, and sometimes use unbeknownst to you. To some extent, these latent characteristics are not exclusive to the human species, and the animals and even trees view far greater expanses of the present than you do, since even the animals, flowers, trees and your cells posses a very generalized usage of telepathic communication and clairvoyance especially with the other cells, and include much more of reality in their present. Your present exists only for a moment before it becomes your past, but animals and plant life view of the present includes decades of your present time.

Most of these built in, latent abilities remain inaccessible to the conscious ego self (YOU) at this time, but you were not meant to remain ignorant of these abilities forever, and will rediscover and develop these senses that are yours by heritage, and that time in now. Animals, trees and flowers do not experience time as you do, so to them, the past, present and future exist in the now and their perception is not based on a series of moments or events as in your case.

Time travel is carried on quite regularly by you as you mentally communicate with past incarnated selves, with long dead relatives and sometimes even future selves in your dreams, but conscious recognition of these meetings is usually filtered out of the sanitized dream that is available to the awake ego self, making some dreams almost unintelligible or at best chaotic.

Of course, the methods of communication is somewhat different than you now use, depending on the immediacy of the personality you communicate with. Those who are by your standards, dead, quickly learn at first to communicate though the use of word oriented mental concepts. Later, through the use of concepts only without the support of accompanying words, dream symbolism that is meaningful to your sub-conscious, but not your ego self.

That is usually why you don’t remember details of your dreams, but your inner sub-conscious does remember and makes use of these messages and sends the appropriate ones to the proper areas of your sub-conscious where some of the most pertinent dream information is filtered up to the attention of the ego to be used in your daily life situations.

When you sleep at night you dream, but you also on occasion leave your dreams, your consciousness projecting from your dream utilizing your astral form and it is in those out-of-body projections where you are fundamentally free of the restraints of the ego and its dependence on time, while it is lulled into a resting state.

You are, depending on your abilities, able to visit locations that you are familiar with in daily life, sometimes in fact looking in on old friends unbeknownst to them since your body would not be materialized in physical matter and would be essentially invisible and transparent. There are occasions when your body could be perceived if the emotional connection with the visited party was strong enough. These projected forms are sometimes confused with ghosts and apparitions.

There is a great difference between dream locations and out-of-body body visited locations, and I want to make sure this is understood. In your dreams, you actually construct a particular location within the dream world or dream universe, and in your terms, this locations does not exist in the physical universe, but it does intrude into the physical world through your recognition of its reality. Distances experienced while traveling in dream reality do not exist in the physical world, but they are quite real and infinite in the dream universe.

When your dream ends, this dream location cannot be recalled or ended and it achieves independence and will continue to exist in the dream universe which also continues to exist even though you are no longer concerned with it when you are awake. You construct this dream location out of atoms, but atoms of a different nature, with definite form structure and duration, but without mass or bulk in much the same way that you construct the physical universe.

In an out-of-body projection, you are actually sending a certain portion of your consciousness out into the existing physical world to an actual location. These out-of-body projections can be achieved from the dream state, which is the easiest to attain, or the induced trance state, which usually requires more advanced skill and development.

Usually in these out-of-body projections, you are actually traveling in the physical world, the distances traveled, usually limited at first, can essentially expand to include travel to anywhere in the physical world, but not limited to it.

What I mean by that is, it is possible with practice to visit other realities within your own solar system in this out-of-body state, but the ability to visit other galaxies would be most difficult at this time until new abilities are formed.

Another consideration, usually when projecting in an out-of-body form, originating within the dreaming condition, you have very little control on where or what you will see, so there is usually some confusion or else no recognition at all that an actual projection really happened. You can influence these out-of-body travels by requesting a visit to someone close to you by ejecting your consciousness from the dream state.

Because of the chaotic nature of dreams, you would be hard pressed to differentiate between actually meeting a friend or an alien, a recently dead relative or visiting an alien planet or having a particularly lucid dream.

Now, some people have the natural ability to enter a trance state easily with definite purpose in mind. They can induce an out-of-body projection to a particular location and with prior agreement with another party, could in fact, meet at the desired location while both were still sound asleep at home in their beds. These out-of-body astral forms then temporarily vacate the physical body, taking their full consciousness along with them on their journeys and under favorable conditions can communicate with each other when they meet while in the out-of-body condition.

There are in fact, people that you know that you have never met physically, some from other realities that you have met in out-of-body of body situations. This projected form has some substance at times, through the use of a less than a less than complete materialization, but still, full conscious cognition is involved and full capacity to communicate through telepathy.

In other words, during this type of projection, the sleeping physical body is maintained by the “body consciousness” inherent in the cellular structure of the body itself, without the usual oversight and help of the organizing consciousness or true identity (You). These projections, purposely initiated, have sometimes been called “Remote Viewing” and was experimented with during the second world war by many governmental agencies by the United States, Soviet Union and other participants trying to ascertain conditions and information in other countries on the opposing side from afar.

This is the basis for future travel on your planet and beyond to distant galaxies. A future personality will be able to project his consciousness to a selected location or reality system. In order to be perceived by another being, a personality must materialize a physical body, no matter of what system you would be visiting. All physical reality systems here or alien, located on or near the outer fringes of the universe utilize atoms to construct their camouflage physical bodies and their camouflage environment even though they may not look like yours. You could simply visit an alien system with an out of body projection without materializing a body, but you would remain an observer, pretty much unable to interact since you would not be perceived and in order to be perceived and viable within that alien system, you would have to adapt your physical body structure to one corresponding to the prevailing rules of the reality you were visiting.

So, if you would want to utilize a physical body in the visited reality system, you would first have to project your consciousness to where you want to go, then, utilizing the atoms at hand there, build up a relevant physical body at the new location. A future person will be able to do this quite handily, and as I said, it is done even now to some extent from dream projections, without your conscious knowledge.

In reverie, if you think longingly of a favorite place at the beach on a misty morning, your actual consciousness could project to that location and if the emotional tie was strong enough, you might even smell the salty sea air. Under these kind of emotional connections, you may even be able to be seen by others in a transparent sort of way, as a wispy shadow in the mist.

What this would mean is that, your consciousness was actually there, not just a dreaming body, but to some extent a fully cognoscente conscious You, and you would have left your sleeping body home alone. As long as a materialized body is not a priority, and simple exploration of other realities is the primary goal, this all become much easier and in fact, is done quite often through spontaneous projections from your dreams.

Remember, in a dream, you create the people, objects and images, in projections, the people, objects and images are real, and the people you visit may remember the occasion.

A whole book could be written on this subject, and I fear I may have left you more confused than before we began the article, but I will elaborate as we go along.

The Benefits of Using an Online Travel Agency



Most people who go on vacation like to book trips through a travel agent in order to take some of the stress out of the planning process. Travel agents can also help you save money on flight, hotel rooms, cruises, and more; but what about online travel agencies? While people worry that Internet travel agencies could scam you or provide low-quality service, there are actually a number of benefits to choosing an online travel agency, providing that you pick the right one.

First and foremost, with an online travel agency, you can work with the place that has the lowest prices without geography limits. In other words, you have more options! When you opt to choose a travel agency in an offline setting, you are limited to the handful of companies that operate in your neighborhood, or at least within a reasonable distance. People who live in major cities might especially be affected by the high prices of brick and mortar travel agencies. Online, there are not proximity limits. The travel agency with which you work might actually have headquarters thousands of miles away, but if they have the lowest prices, you can still work with them over the Internet.

The increased number of choices does not just help you save money. It also means that you have limitless possibilities when it comes to travel. The travel agencies in your areas probably can book dozens or even hundreds of different trips, but there will be limitations. Even if an offline travel agent can plan a vacation to an obscure destination for you, it is not likely that he or she will be an expert in travel to this location. Online, you can find a family or an individual who has been there and will plan an amazing vacation for you. There are few places in the world where you can’t travel if you work with an online travel agency.

Another great aspect of working with an online travel agency is that you can shop for your vacation package any time of the day or night. Brick and mortar business usually close soon after the end of the regular business day, and many are not open for long hours on the weekend. The Internet is open 24 hours a day. While you may not always be able to call a customer service representative, especially if you like to do vacation planning at three in the morning, you can always check out packages offer on travel websites. This is especially handy for parents who need to plan after the kids are in bed, people who work odd hours, and those living in rural locations where the nearest travel agency office is a fairly far drive.

One of the often-overlooked benefits of an online travel agency is the control you have to make your own choices without outside influences or pressure. When you visit an office, many travel agents have the same tone as used car salesmen. You have to remember that these people are often working under some kind of commission program. Instead of making an hourly wage, they earn a percentage of your total vacation price, and even if they do have a salaried job, they may get incentives from travel companies (hotels, cruise lines, etc) for selling amount every month. Many travel agents get to go on free trips for every ten or twenty vacation packages they sell. So, you might feel pressured to book a trip when you are not done exploring your options or upgrade certain aspects, even though you do not have the money. Online travel agencies typically take a more hands-off approach. That does not mean that they won’t help you, of course. Most are more than willing to answer questions via email or over the phone. However, when it comes to working with an online travel agency, you do not have someone looming over your shoulder, trying to make a sale as you check out your vacation options.

Also, when you work with an online travel agency, you usually have more payment choices. Today, some offline travel agencies offer payment plans, credit card payments, and so forth, but this is not always the case. When you work online to plan you vacation, however, you can always find a type payment that will work for you. Some even have payment programs that allow you to earn points for every dollar you spend, which can go towards gift certificates or future trips.

Be aware that there are still scammers posing as online travel agencies and other travel sites, and you always need to read the fine print of any website where you make a purchase. However, online travel agencies are often a less expensive, easier, and more convenient way to book a vacation.

Opening a Travel Agency



Are you thinking of opening your own travel agency? If so, you need to keep a number of things in mind. Owning a travel business demands a certain level of skill and professionalism. It isn’t just a matter of getting a license and plugging into a program. So if you want to be one of the good ones, I strongly suggest that you take the following advice.

For starters, specialize in something. Know that one thing inside and out. For instance, South American travel or exotic adventure travel or eco-tourism. Find and study everything you can get your hands on in that thing. Become a genius. Too many travel agents will book you a cruise to nowhere or a flight to no man’s land and not know the difference between the two. The travel industry has become so vast, that it is just not possible to be an expert at travel in general. You will need to narrow your field. Your business may increase exponentially if you keep that focus on a few things. And you do those things well.

Here’s a second thing. Why not become a “notary public”? Why you ask? What’s the the relationship to a travel business? People travel for many reasons and sometimes in order to settle some special business they are in need of a notary. There are not many notaries available these days, so this is something you can offer your clients either for a small fee or gratis as a way thanking them for their business.

If you are required to agree to an exclusivity contract in order to work with a particular agency, do not do so. That agency is unable to force you into such an agreement and you do not have to. You will, of course, want to check with a lawyer on this one. Most would probably advise against signing such a contract. It may very well be against the law.

As a travel agent, you will find so much fulfillment. Like I said, good ones are hard to find so if you really know your stuff, you will be greatly in demand. People will actually come looking for YOU to book their trip. That means more money for you in YOUR pocket. That’s what it’s about, no? How many of us could use a bit more income? Especially in these days!
