Ok, so I am thinking that someone wants it made a little clearer just who asks the questions around here.

Beamer: 1.) What is your view on reincarnation?

Avatar: It seems to happen whether one remembers or not or believes in it or not.

Beamer: I also believe in reincarnation.

Beamer: 2.) Do you think you have lived a previous life?

Avatar: I don't think it...I know it. In fact everybody alive is a product of these past lives.

Beamer: I too know I have lived numerous past lives.

Beamer: 3.) Do you condsider yourself an "old soul"?

Avatar: I've heard the expression before...and it really, from my perspective, doesn't mean anything. We all spring from eternity. Some of us walk this plane
and this planet for a few lifetimes and move on, some of us stay on for tens of thousands of years.

Beamer: I consider my self a very old soul.

Beamer: 4.) Why don't you follow the saying "Those that don't know, ask and those that know, don't tell" or something along those lines?

Avatar: Is this some cosmic law? or just a saying? 1. You may have noticed...that I, generally, don't ask questions. 2. I don't tell...unless asked in some
way. (...ask and it shall given unto you, seek and ye shall find...Luke 11:9)

Beamer: So many times in my spiritual journey coming up I kept hearing this saying about those that don't know, ask and those that do know don't tell and it drove me crazy. It's like trying to get a job where you must have experience to get the job. You ask how to get experience at the job and they tell you that you have to get hired on somewhere, but in that field they won't hire you without the experience. Its a vicious circle. So I decided that if I ever got to the point where I had some knowledge to pass on, I sure the heck was going to do so and suffer the consequences. I don't think I have suffered any yet. And Av, if I didn't ask you questions this would be a one man blog and I don't want that.

Beamer: 5.) Do you believe in Chakra areas of the Human body?

Avatar: Yup.

Beamer: I hope to have time to delve into this area further some time. I have only just touched on this area of knowledge.

Beamer: 6.) I have found that certain stones and gems have a certain strength or vibration that I can relate to or feel. Why is this?

Avatar: The world is alive and humming with energy and intelligence. Humans, up to a certain level of spiritual development can only perceive the external form of things. As one travels the 'Path' one's sensitivity increases.

Beamer: This again is something I hope to have the time to delve into further. I have had some tremndous responses from the holding and touching of certain gems and stones and it just amazes me.

Beamer: 7.) You said that Astral travel is akin to dreaming. Can you enlighten me more on this?

Avatar: Much of our dreams are really just poorly remembered Astral traveling. Every night our astral bodies leave the physical. It's as natural as breathing, the difficulty is bringing back the memories and integrating them into our waking consciousness. For most of us it just results in a confused hack job that gets dismissed as a dream.

Beamer: 8.) Do you drink alcohol at all?

Avatar: No.

Beamer: I drink very little alcohol.

Beamer: 9.) Do you think there is any reason why alcohol is called "spirits"?

Avatar: I suspect it began with the cult of Dionysius/Bacchus. Folks got typsy on their wine or beer, and got to step out of their mundane lives while partying on the 'blood of the god'. Remnants of that survive in the Christian communion where they consume the body and blood (bread and wine) of the sacrificed god-man Jesus.

Beamer: I have found that alcohol has a very negative result on my being able to communicate spirtually.

Beamer: 10.) With your astral travels, do you usually remain on this earthly plane?

Avatar: I remain on this earthly plane when I'm in my body. Otherwise, I'm gone...unless it seems I'm needed for some job...

If you feel an answer isn't enough ... ask.
