Question: Has anyone ever experienced time stopping?
The most bizarre experience of my life is something that happened to me when I was 27 years old. It was one of my first gigs as a keyboard player in 1975. I was walking into a big club carrying my mic stand and my amp head. As I entered there was a young man just inside the door in a beige trench coat and holding a suitcase. It had recently rained but it was still an odd sight for a dance club. As I crossed the dance floor time stopped. It was like in a dream sequence and as if someone outside of time and space pressed pause on a video. Then a voice inside my head said, "This is Paul. He will be your business partner in the future. You are entering a dark time in your life. Never lose sight of where you are destined to go." Then time resumed. I turned around. The young man was exiting the door. I quickly put my equipment on the stage and ran outside, but he was no where in sight. He had been talking to a waitress as I had entered. I asked her who had she been talking to. She said " Al
I bought that book from a new age book store in Greenwich Village in the early 1980s. It was called something like "Beginners Guide to Astral Projection" or "How to Astral Project" but if I still have that book it would be in a box in the basement. Sorry I can't be more exact. I was never a drug user, not even pot, despite that it was all around me. Friend all told me I was naturally high, and warned me not to try psychedelics because i was the type who might not come back from a trip. I never did try.
Once but never again, well almost never.
I tried this once. I bought a book on astral projection. I didn’t want to use drugs to achieve this, and I’m not someone who just experienced it naturally. The advice said that you usually leave your body through your head, chest, or your feet. I spent many nights concentrating and trying to leave my body. Then one day while I was at home with a couple of friends playing pool, I drifted off to sleep on my couch for a second, (or so it would have seemed to my friends.) I didn’t gently float off from my body and then look down at it to perhaps become scared, (which sometimes happens so I’m told.) Like the rest of my life, it was very different for me. I exploded from my body, and I couldn’t tell you from what spot. I was propelled at an incredible rate of speed! It was like being strapped to the head of a bullet! I was repulsed that my “astral body” had no real shape or form. It was like I was some sort of electricity, like what you see in an electric arc of a Telsa coil. I was spee
