subtle world

This is defined as a world or realm composed of matter which though not visible to physical eyes is nevertheless everywhere present and which interpenetrates the physical matter the senses of the physical body observe and experience. The particles of substance of this realm exist everywhere in free form and possess a variety of characteristics and properties akin to chemical elements of the physical world. These subtle particles are capable of joining together to form coherent and stable objects as well as life forms having distinct components and functions. A certain amount of this subtle substance also makes up the astral or subtle body humans experience dreams in and resides in the same volume as the human body while an individual is awake. The existence of a subtle world composed of a more subtle state or gradation of matter is posited as a fundamental premise of this website. In addition, there is no evidence to suggest this degree of matter ends at the upper limit of the earth's atmosphere. So another basic premise we posit is that it extends into space indefinitely in all directions continuously and with no breaks.

Why are we doing this?

Hi there. My name is Michael. What if I were to tell you that there is something that if you knew about it, would change your life in all kinds of different ways for the better? 

We are not selling anything, so please read on without prejudice or hesitation. Weigh what you read on this site honestly, in your head and heart. 

We here at subtlerealm.org want to share an important part of the human experience with you. We want to confirm what you may have felt all your life but never knew how to put into words. Maybe you have had certain experiences you were afraid to talk about for fear of ridicule or being thought of as stupid or even crazy. We are here to point out that 'unusual experiences' are far more usual than we think for the simple fact that people seldom talk about them for the above reasons. We want you to be a wiser, happier human being than before you found this web site, we have no other motive than this. There will be no dogma, judgement, or belittlement - only an effort to educate people and help them understand a large part of their lives that most know almost nothing about. And, our approach is a scientific one, meaning that wherever we can point to scientific facts to support our claims, we will do so and cite our references.

The place where we go when we dream is a real place. It exists outside of our minds, and yet our experiences there are very much based upon our thoughts. It has been written about in countless books and has been symbolized and portrayed in many movies we are all familiar with. In fact, if one were to cognize the fact that the subtle world is a reality, then lots of historical legends would then become very logical, understandable lessons passed down to future generations (rather than seem like delusional fantasies for the masses of human kind).

It is hard for people to understand that knowledge acquired during daily life is essential to being able to function well in the subtle realm. Not only knowledge, but tolerance and perceptiveness. If you have ever had a lucid dream or an out-of-body experience, then you know the sheer joy that comes from such an experience! Few, if any, would ever forget something like that. What if you could educate yourself and thus have those kinds of experiences all the time? Most people would find their lives incredibly enriched by something such as this. 

Welcome to subtlerealm.org! We are here to help people understand all they can about the subtle world. We are motivated by a shared vision of helping people understand the reality of their surroundings, and thus making the world a better place. 

 

Welcome to SubtleRealm.org!

Welcome to SubtleRealm.org! My name is Edgar and with this first blog entry, I want to describe in my own words, to the best of my ability, what we’re trying to do here on this site and why I’ve chosen to join the team doing it.

I’ve always felt, even in my earliest memories, that there was more to the story of life than people were telling me. As I grew older, the suspicion grew as well.  I tried for a long time to find the answers in science –in biology, to be exact- going so far as to get a Master’s degree in computational biology.  This, however, still left too many questions unanswered.

The thing is, there have been a handful of things that have happened to me that are completely unexplainable by biology, nor any other (western) science, nor even any religion or philosophy I’ve studied.  Many of these things have happened while I’ve been asleep, while “dreaming”, but others while wide awake; things that, according to physics and conventional wisdom, simply cannot happen.  Yet they did, and in sharing with others, I’ve found that others, too, have experienced phenomena not explainable by mainstream thought.

So, first and foremost, with this site, we intend to approach some of the unexplainable things through direct knowledge and experience. We will never preach, pontificate, or proselytize, but will always be totally honest and sincere with our thinking, experimenting, and reporting of results.

We believe that many of the answers we seek to some of life’s most challenging questions lie in the “other world” theory most recognizable by the Christian term “Heaven”.  Our initial understanding of the reality of heaven (which we call the “subtle world”), however, differs from the Christian ideal of heaven in at least one extremely important way: for the average Christian, heaven is a place one might go to only after death; for us, the subtle world is something that is all around us at all hours of the day, but we are usually only aware of it when our physical senses have shut off for the night and we experience it in our sleep as dreams.

This is our starting point. This site will serve as a platform to grow and develop our understanding of the subtle world, to share what we experience, and as an open door for anyone who would like to begin their own explorations of the parallel world that is their second home by nature.

Overall Concepts

Our Approach

We at Subtle Realm have the attitude that any set of beliefs or premises presented to others without also indicating ways others can verify those things is thereby incomplete. An unverifiable system from any area of life is at best a proposal, a set of provisional understandings to be taken as possibly true until repeatedly proven either to be true or to be useful with corrections or adjustments in concept practice and understanding … or to be incorrect altogether. This we term “provisional truth”: a set of assumptions people make in order to make decisions, take action, gain experience and understanding through trial and error.

In considering how human consciousness may exist beyond the confines of the physical body we therefore posit a collection of assumptions as a basis for a departure point on the path of enquiry, experiment, discovery, learning and understanding.

Out Of Body Experiences (OBEs) and Near-death experiences (NDEs)

Sometimes called 'lucid dreaming' or 'astral projection', an Out of Body Experience (or OBE) is the experience of being fully conscious and functioning while being outside one's physical body. People who have experienced this often report sensations of floating, perceiving one's own physical body from a different place, and being able to direct or control one's experiences by using thoughts...
