Reality Shifts?, Also posted on OF, to examine answers... Options

Recently (being several weeks ago), I've been studying and exploring alternate realities. Thanks to a lot of appreciated advice from my two mentors, I've learned a lot about some of the more threatening realities that are dangerous even to visit (and of course, I don't freaking go there!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ), and I've visited realities that are magnificent, strange, and mediocre.

However, I've noticed at work that a strange reality "shift" had been occuring. I had left my desk (rather cubicle slave chamber) to go on a break. When I got back, the energy all over the place was going crazy... my desk looked different, everyone looked different, some people weren't at work when they were all there previous to my break. I saw, energetically, a large, boiling puddle scrambling across the ceiling. I didn't feel drained or hurt or anything, just really weird. I couldn't speak correctly the entire time I was at work.

Well, I felt that was all digression... I'm not looking for validity about my experience. What I AM looking for is, why do reality shifts happen, and what causes them? I've heard of reality being tampered with to such a degree in an alternate world that people can actually draw up a reality bubble around a victim, and calcify it to such a degree that the person is trapped in stasis.

Please provide more details of the 'alternative realities' you refer to ... and perhaps you could let other members know the methods to reach these alternative realities ....

Do you or other people venture to them in body or by way of OBE?

Well, there's a variety of methods to check out an alternate reality. You can travel astrally, you can scry, but the easiest method is simply to dream-travel.

The dream travel method is mentioned on Chaos Matrix... simply tell your subconcious, before you go to sleep, to visit an alternate incarnation or reality of your choosing (for example, tell it to visit an "interesting" reality that won't get you trapped). Keep this order looping through your head like a mental mantra... also, don't forget to tell it to remember your experiences when you awaken. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I don't know about how you guys scry, but when I want to scry to an alternate reality, I just do... I don't visualize myself pulling through the fabric existing between probabilities or anything unless I want to astrally travel there.

Other than that, that's about it... just be careful of where you go if you actually travel as opposed to simply scrying... I have discovered several realities where travelling is dangerous, such as any reality where the void has consumed everything (very uncommon reality), where people who hunt mages exist, or if you are being astrally hunted in that reality.

If you start frequently travelling through reality, you will show up on the "radars" of your other aware, will-working incarnations. Some of them may try to contact you for something, or whatever. I don't like to visit my alternates... they're pretty psycho. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/black eye.gif)
