Part 1
It’s very difficult to lose someone you love. You hope they are in a better place but without our eternal memories we can’t remember what happens at the moment of death or what happens after. This causes a fear of death. On the physical side it’s not as confusing to us but it’s what happens after death that causes fear so we will explore both sides.
In the out of body state one is closest to the death state. Their energy body has left the physical body. The difference is that in an out of body state, you are always connected to your body. Some have seen a kind of rope that tethers the energy body to the physical body. I have never seen this rope. I’ve no doubt it’s there. You can always feel your connection to your body when OB.
There is so much to explore when we cross the veil. This is the first part in a series about what exactly is across the veil. What we first experience directly after our physical death and then what comes after.
The Physical Side
The Physical Side
From the time we are born into a physical body on this planet most of us fear our physical death. Will it be painful? Will it be fast? What happens to me when I die?
These fears are instilled into us in movies and all kinds of programming. Most of us can’t remember our last lifetime, much less our last physical death. It’s an unknown that most don’t even want to think about.
On the physical side of death, I am a level II in Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy (QHHT) and have additional training in hypnosis. I’ve taken people through their past lives and we always visit the death scene (their physical death at the end of a lifetime). There is a lot to learn there.
In every single physical death scene, the person simply came out of their body without even losing consciousness. I saw not one person who was confused. Each time, during the sessions, the energy body simply left the physical body behind and regained all of their eternal memories. I’m not saying there weren’t some physical effects before death but at the time of death, there was no confusion.
Many times our previous lifetime has been rough. Even though we know that we chose our lifetime before we come into it, it doesn’t make it any easier to live it.
Think about this; if you had chosen a life of luxury and fame would you be any happier right now? You would have good food and beautiful homes but as you get down the road in life, you begin to understand that this is a material life where you have no other time to focus on your consciousness because you’re much too busy keeping your material world fully manifest. Nothing at all wrong with this kind of life. We all choose these kind of lives eventually to experience growth.
The rough lives are the biggest learning curve because you have many more opportunities for growth. So, we choose both kinds of lives to live. Some are lives of luxury and some are lives of need.
Across the Veil
I’ve explored death on the other side in out of body states. As soon as an energy body leaves a physical body and regains their eternal memories, they know exactly what is happening. There is no confusion. We’ve all lived many lives in the physical and non-physical realms so each of us goes to the appropriate local.
When we leave the body behind we never forget our lives, loves and experiences. Each of us comes as an individual spark directly from Source. Our lives are about experiences and development of our consciousness. We live lives over and over to learn and grow.
Since I haven’t yet died in this lifetime I can only explain what I experience after separation in the out of body state. I feel that the astrals cause the most confusion and maybe a good deal of fear. I haven’t explored all of the astrals but I would like to start here, in part one with an out of body experience in what is termed, the astrals.
Dimensions are layers of energy. Some layers, like those closer to earth, are more dense and dimensions get less dense as you move away from earth. The astral planes exist in less dense energies and manifesting is instantaneous there.
In your out of body state, or even after you have left the body for good, you can’t visit all of the dimensions. You can only go where you have grown your consciousness enough that you could live or visit comfortably. The less dense the dimension, the more you must have raised your consciousness to feel comfortable in that environment.
The astral planes exist in part of the third dimension and then encompass many dimensions. Beyond the astrals are many more dimensions, or densities of energy layers.
The astrals aren’t really a place you just go visit. It’s a kind of a place you travel through to get somewhere else. The planes exists within different dimensions so depending on where you are it would be a different experience.
Long ago I started on an exploration of the astrals. I went with some fear and my brain’s filters. I write about that experience here.
In this out of body experience, I had no destination in mind. I just wanted to free-flow. I parted from my body and sat on the roof and looked at the view. I decided to just go and experience the astrals.
I have learned that I don’t care much for the astral plane at all. I usually blink right through it. It’s a place that you have to go through to get away from the earth plane. This is a place between physical and non-physical. People decide to live in this realm when they have lived a life where they have always believed in hell and thought they would end up there. Whatever their vision of hell was in life they recreate it in the lower astrals. They don’t stay there forever.
They manifest the life they believe they should be living until they finally understand that it’s only themselves keeping them there. I moved right over the lower astrals by using thoughts. That’s not to say that the whole of the astrals isn’t a strange place, because it is.
When in energy body in the astrals it feels like you are just hovering there. Nothing propels you but your thoughts. It feels like a vacuum. You can see different hues of color as you travel through but looking down, it appeared silver and looked like a sliver of light. It’s not a comfortable place to visit in OB. The people that choose to live in any plane in the astrals do not believe they deserve more and there is so much more beyond the astrals.
I came to a place in the astrals that looked very much like a small slice of earth but a little different. It had grass and trees and the brightest flowers in colors my human eyes could have never seen.
There was the most exquisite house in a modern style in the middle of the foliage. The entire house and yard floated. From my perspective it looked like a chunk of land, beautifully landscaped, with a house in the center, just floating in space. It looked like dark space all around it. However, as I drifted closer, I could see that this little floating piece of paradise had an atmosphere. It was similar to earth. There was a sun source and the sky around the land was a gorgeous hue of violet.
I landed on green grass. It was really a blue/green and rippled softly although I could feel no wind. There were trees and most had big ripe fruit hanging from the branches. The fruit looked like giant pomegranates. All the foliage looked perfect.
Just then a man appeared. He looked just like any human on earth. He was short in stature with reddish hair. He appeared to be in his thirties. He smiled and welcomed me to his home.
We went inside and the home was stunning and seemed to have most everything a house has on earth. We sat and he spoke as if we were old friends catching up on events. He said he had been expecting company but nobody had shown up so he was glad to see me.
He showed me around his garden and the plants were like none I have ever seen. They seemed to be alive like the grass. They moved a little and liked attention. The colors of the plants were vivid and there were colors that I’ve never seen.
Soon the violet sky was heading towards purple and it was time for me to go home. I said my goodbyes and blinked into my body in my bed at home.
This man had lived a lifetime on earth and wasn’t ready to give up some of the human pleasures he once enjoyed. He manifested his life exactly as he wanted to live. He seemed to enjoy his lifestyle and apparently had company sometimes.
It was at first strange that he had chosen to live on a remote piece of land but I guess it’s no different than on earth. Lots of people live in sparsely populated places so they can enjoy the beauty of the land. I don’t know why he choose the astrals to manifest his little world. I’m sure he had his reasons and he too will grow and move on. I left a signal there so I could return.

Vickie Acklin
Consciousness Teaching, Author and Healing Facilitator currently living in Arkansas, United States
As a lifetime explorer of consciousness, I have come to understand how significant the times are that we are presently experiencing. We are connected to the earth through our energy fields so as we have chaos in our everyday lives on earth, so does the planet. This chaos also serves to awaken us. We are waking up to understand who we really are. We are learning to illuminate the path we each have before us. We are all becoming braver about learning to use our innate abilities. I created this community so we can all learn, grow, and support each other in our explorations of consciousness.
I have taken classes and studies at The Monroe Institute in Virginia, USA (TMI). I took the, Gateway Voyage and then returned to TMI to study, Out of Body Advanced with William Buhlman. The institute was developed by Robert Monroe to study and teach about our natural ability to leave our physical body. We can explore, and we do this naturally, almost every time we sleep. TMI is a place setup for learning to go out of body consciously. Not while you sleep, but while you’re awake.
I am a level two hypnotist trained by Dolores Cannon shortly before her death. I used Dolores’ method because I could go straight to our Oversoul which is our connection to this Universe. There is so much to learn there. I could help people under hypnosis by allowing them to see their past lives so that they could better understand their current life. Connecting to the Universe along with another consciousness doing the same thing in the room is a powerful experience. We felt such an electric feeling in the room and in ourselves. Those sessions opened my subconscious and my intuition became even stronger as did the people that had the sessions with me. They experienced a lot of changes in their lives.
I came to know a very special man that was a Buddhist Guru in Texas. He had come from China as a young man and started a Buddhist temple. He had the ability of being very intuitive. When I walked into the room, he first rang a small brass bell to clear the room. Then he quickly began shuffling ordinary playing cards and told me many things about myself. He taught me to find my answers within myself and not to seek them elsewhere. I have been blessed by, The Dali Lama when he made his visit to the temple where I attended. I’m not Buddhist but I felt the need to study their ways at that time in my life. The temple was bright and colorful and filled with people. People made pilgrimages to see the Guru and he gave them his time seven days a week.
I have taken sound healing with Tom Kenyon and studied his work with the Hathors. Kenyon is the best sound healer on the planet. Through sound one can achieve deep states where answers can be found inside of each of us. I had an out of body experience while listening to a world meditation that Tom Kenyon gave through the Hathors. It was a visual lesson. I had been stumbling along trying to understand something and the meditation sent me right into the Universe where I experienced my lesson in full color. What Tom Kenyon gives to the world through the Hathors and his incredible voice is an experience I am honored to have had.
I came to this life already knowing other life existed off this planet. As an adult I had a full blown contact experience. I had a lifetime interest in ET’s but after my contact experience, I knew I needed to get a camera and take images and videos of space craft in our day and night skies so others could see what I knew was out there. I used a camera technique and intuitive photography to capture some interesting images and some beautiful craft. I got the knowing to do this kind of photography from my contact experience.
I lived close to a family of Sasquatch for five years that made me welcome. I am honored to know them and even though I no longer live close to them I still feel their connection.
It’s been a lifetime of learning, and I continue to learn every single day.
If asked what was the most important lesson that I have ever learned in my lifetime, it would be this; our bodies are just bodies. Our bodies are not who we really are. Inside of each of us there is an energy body. Our energy bodies are all knowing, eternal beings. Even though we don’t all remember that, it’s true. When our bodies physically die, we don’t even lose consciousness. We simply “blink” to a new reality, one we are very familiar with. What many have forgotten in this lifetime is that as an, All Knowing, Eternal Being, we are Sovereign. I have fully embraced that in myself. I am the sole owner of my body, my mind, and my energy. I am not ruled by the confinements of our physical life on earth. I choose to awaken all of my Sovereign Abilities!
