I am blown away by My Big Toe. I've watched and re-watched every YouTube video Tom has posted, and can't get enough.

I've have had many OBEs and lucid dreams over the years. I read all of Robert Monroe's books and practiced his methods -- they work.

I am a shaman, a teacher, a healer, a spiritual seeker... A writer/editor/publisher... My Big Toe provides a rational and useful way of working deeply with the reality my experience has shown me. Thank you Mr Campbell.

I'm looking forward to participating in these forums and to learning more.

Welcome Sahara,

I think many of us feel the same way you do about finding MBT. For me it does answer all the questions in a logical way that fits in with my personal experiences. Have you read the book or just watched the videos?

Welcome, Sahara. It will be interesting to have someone here coming from the shamanic direction. It has always been of interest to me but not as a practitioner. Have you any familiarity with the Ecstatic Body Postures of Dr. Felicitas Goodman? They, as being found world wide as small sculptures, appear to be a world wide manifestation of forgotten shamanic practices.

Ted

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your kind responses.

I have not yet read the books -- just found MBT on YouTube a few weeks ago.

In one of my OBEs (happened during a shamanic ceremony -- no drugs) I visited angels and they
taught me things, and gave me a symbol (|) to use. I felt whole and holy and I had no more questions
there -- I was Home. They gave me many gifts, and put me through many tests, and I had months of
experiences, in about two hours of earth time.

At the end of the OBE, I knew I had had this experience many times, and that we all have
these same experiences... but we always seem to forget, because there is no duality there.
(Our minds need contrast, names, symbols... so we can remember what happens "out there.")
So I asked to remember what I had experienced. What the angels told me was...
OK you will remember -- but what you will remember is not really what happened. You
will remember only "symbols" of what happened. There were no angels or gifts or tests
AS I REMEMBER THEM -- but they happened none the less.

This is exactly what Tom teaches -- it was only data, and I put my own form around it
so I could remember it, back here, in duality.

We must remember to not get caught up in the form -- but to focus on the content (meaning).
Form is transitory, and only shows us surfaces -- meaning is the essence, deeper than the surface.

Anyway... glad to find you all. I've had many miraculous experiences, and until I met MBT,
I did not understand. Thank you Tom!

Now... on to mastery. How do we use what we are learning to choose new realities? How do
we work together to empower each other and to teach what we know...?

Thank you. I'd love to hear your experiences.

Ted,

I am familiar with the ecstatic body postures you mention. I have worked with South American and Siberian shamans who have similar (but different) techniques. I now see this as just one way to organize data streams. There are many others, of course.

Rituals and ceremonies and postures and mudras and chants... all help us tap into data streams that have been pioneered before us -- through resonance and the effects of the morphogenetic fields they create in consciousness (Rupert Sheldrake).

Since there is only consciousness, all is "imagined" and manifested through intent. Postures and so on are symbols of our intent -- tools that have been manifested into consciousness by others before us, so we can tap into their "fields" of influence more easily.

In my humble opinion...

Welcome Sahara, it's always nice to see new faces around here!
If you liked the videos, just wait until you read the books! ;)

Hi Sahara,

So far, i echo your sentiments. I have been pleasantly surprised to find in T.C.'s work so far, a rather similar conceptual framework and approach minus the physics stuff, of which i'm mostly clueless on.

There are some minor disagreements here and there with some more specific info, but all in all it does "quite resonate". One brief exception is that i saw a Y.T. video of Tom and he was asked about E.T. life or UFO's, and his answer seemed to say that they are probably not what we think they are, e.g. consciousness beings with physical body aspects like us, but more so an interpretation of transdimensional consciousness. Or in other words, they're really not "physical" as we understand and perceive it, but that's how we interpret or perceive them because of our own filters, expectations, etc. (this viewpoint does not really allow for the very real physical data based on "physical effects" that has been collected by various E.T. and UFO researchers, or the various info about genetic cross breeding programs that are going on between human and nonhuman bodies).

I can understand the latter, and to some extent i know this is the case (with some), yet i'm also aware that there indeed Beings out there similar to us in the sense that they are consciousness using a physical vehicle to exist in and explore this physical VR subset. But, i have also learned, and some of this is based on experience, that some of these while they do have basically physical bodies, they are not as limited by physical rules as we tend to be. In other words, they can phase their physical vibrations into more purely non physical states of being and therefore seemingly "break" physical rules related to space/time concepts and physics. Time and space aren't barriers to them. It's sort of like their "bodies" are naturally at a faster vibratory rate or octave than ours. I believe a human can do similar (and perhaps some have, like Jesus), since it's all really just "info" anyways, but it's a matter of speeding up the vibratory patterns of the body physical.

I suspect that what we call our "etheric" body or level (as a conceptual reference), is akin to their "physical" body reference point, like our more dense physical bodies are our space/time reference point. This was confirmed to me to some extent when i seemingly "woke up" into physical reality, experienced sleep paralysis, and interacted with an E.T. consciousness who had a body, but then something switched and i got "grounded" fully into physical and this Being's presence seemed to disappear instantly (i lost the paralysis). I suspect it was still there, but i was not then in that similar state of attunement and thus failed to perceive it so clearly and "physically" like, as a moment before. I realized later that i had sleep paralysis because i wasn't fully in phase with physical consciousness like i thought i was, and was experiencing a classic OBE state of phasing into the "etheric" level or "body".

I later asked an intuitive about the experience, and she seemed to feel/intuit it was a guide/helper of some sort and that at the beginning of the experience i was more tuned into other dimension or nonphysical states, which is why i so vividly perceived this Being then.

Hey Vasra, welcome to the forums. I have experienced something very similar to this as well, and I felt that it was a helper of some sort too.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for the welcome. Interesting that you had a similar experience. Did the Consciousness you interacted with appear as a tall being, like over 7 feet? The one that i did appeared as very tall.

It was fairly tall yes, but it's hard to say if it was over 7'. It fit through my doorway, so I would guess not. It wasn't terribly important for my experience.

You can read about it here: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5568
