i'm building a spiritual retreat on the astral plane, looking for some silence and a place for contemplation and contact

this is new for me too, so it may not be too effective at first

many mystics have done this before, but they're constructions have gone just as they did - i'm seeking something a little more permanent, inviting all to help build it with thought stuff and allowing others access to the place, totally the opposite of the mystical constructions of the past

the joshua tree resort (the ding lei mei mental physics school) was the seed of the idea, but i don't want to have to cross the country just to get there and stay for only a few days, i want to be able to access it anytime, anywhere, just like the telepathic party on the magician's card - even going there for only a few moments will rejuvenate and revive even the most stubborn of consciousnesses

here we go!

be still, gather your thoughts

there is a clear path of lightness among darkness

there is a ripple of space-time along that path that always takes those that walk along the path directly to the entrance to the place

there is a walled enclosure with a strong door that only requires mental focus and the sincerity of being a spiritual seeker to enter

there is an entrance hall with a high temple and altar, lower temples, vestibules and alcoves, for quiet practice and meditation

there is a door that exits the other end of the entrance hall to a huge area enclosed by thick gray-white walls, over which arches a clear violet-blue twilight sky, with the real stars and planets visible if you look closely enough

within these walls there is a gardener's paradise, a sort of heavenly garden, where time is not important, vortexes and energy points abound, and intelligences freely await contact

unlike the telepathic party location, this place is at our current time, but separated from the physical earth - far from all violence and harm, and once established it will be guarded and protected by the same powerful magick and entities that protect the telepathic party

all are welcomed there in openness, peace, solitude and quiet contemplation - please speak in whispers and have care to not disturb others

so be it,

es

hmmm, already have such a retreat myself.

wouldn't making it a highly public place run contrary to it's 'retreat' themed nature? not saying that it *would* necessarily, just that i'm not sure i get the idea of trying to get away from it all, to a place where there is a crowd.

amazing amount of resistance i'm getting on this idea - it being open to others (all entities, including humans) is the whole point of it - its there now

I have a space of my own too, I'll show up tonight at around 2am eastern time with my gang.

not 'resistance'. Just seeking clarification.
I don't think it's a bad idea.

oh no kath, i didn't thin k you were being resistance resistant whatever - the resistance was coming from another direction entirely, not even sacred magic

Flipped the clerk a card of invitation, sat down and chatted with a spirit for awhile. You see me there?

no, i was off buying an emergency heater - 24 degrees tonite - need something besides only the electric heat in case we get an ice storm - this would be the winter for it

Ah, a retreat on the astral plane, that sounds really cool, if only I'm able to astral travel I would defiently go there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohyeah.gif)
