Consensus Realities

Lately I have been thinking about the many different places I have visited in the astral, some are wondrous and beautiful beyond words, others carry a heavy dreary type of energy and the people there feel oppressed in some way. As I mentioned in my last podcast episode I asked some people why they were living in such cramped dreary conditions when on Earth many people who have had near death experiences say that it is all light and love. As I explained I didn’t get an answer. However, maybe I did get my answer but it took time to form in my mind. Sometimes things have to be pondered and rolled over in your mind to truly understand, maybe while we are pondering things we get downloads from our guides to help us understand.

These places I find myself in are consensus realities, a reality that is formed because all the people in it believe in it, they create it with their thoughts, the astral is thought and feeling sensitive and like attracts like so it does make sense that people with the similar energy, thoughts and emotions should be like magnets to each other and form a reality. This of course would be true for the happier places too, even places based around a particular religion. So the separation that we experience on Earth continues.
