Regarding Robert Bruce Account

[Theprojector]

Hi, good morning.


A friend told me some years ago an incredible account that he read in one of Robert Bruce's books. What he reported to me is something like this:


Robert Bruce projected instantly into an armchair in an unknown house. He sat and out of nowhere came a man who looked like him, but fatter and wore glasses. The man went to the bookshelf to pick up a book. And suddenly he turned and looked at Robert in the chair. He saw that the man was himself and woke up. Years later he was living in another house, was meeting with friends, and went to get a book in the next room, getting there, when he picked up the book, he remembered the experience he had years ago, and turned to see if there was anyone in the armchair. Then Robert saw something like the image of his former astral self fading.


It turns out that I can't find that account in any Robert Bruce's book. In which book and which edition was it published? Thank you!

That's in both editions of Astral Dynamics. Maybe not word for word, but he's talking about seeing himself leave and then later having the experience of being his own double- I believe he was talking about the effect of looking at your own astral body. When I have time (and it won't be tonight) I might tell you in what page of the paper book it is.

The way to connect with your future self is to first connect with your past self, and make this a habit, so it translates into the future and your future self having the habit of visiting you now, because you now is your future self's past self.

When I started this practice many years ago, i visited my past self a dozen or so times over a couple of years.

The day my family moved into a new house, when I was about 30, was memorable. Late in the evening when everyone was asleep, I meditated in the living room, sitting at the back.

Around this time I also had the ‘refrigerator’ experience given in my book, Astral Dynamics.

I connected with my past self and saw him/me sitting meditating several years back.

Then I had a spectacular vision. The wall 20ft in front of me was in reality bare. But now there was a built-in wall unit of shelves. The top shelves were filled with Encyclopedia Britannica. The rest were filled with other books, TV, etc. This was as clear as it would be in real life.

Then a man walked into the room near the books and looked directly at me, waving at me. He looked very familiar. Then I realized that he was me. But he was 40lbs lighter with short hair, clean shaven, and wearing a shirt, tie, waistcoat, and gold rimmed glasses. He reached up and picked up volume of Britannica, smiled at me, and then looked at the page. He started, taking a step back as if in shock, and looked at me again, then back to the page. He got really excited, quickly waved and left the room with the book.

******

About six years later, a lot had happened. I had done a lot of fasting, and lost a lot of weight. I also needed reading glasses. A friend had recently repaid me for something I did for him by building a wall unit at the end of my living room. My wife had quickly filled this with with Britannica and other things.

The next morning, home alone, I looked into the room and it jogged my memory of the experience I'd had years ago. It was exactly like I had seen it in the vision. It amuses me to reenact such things. I was wearing exactly what I had seen myself wearing in the vision, including new gold rimmed glasses, which I'd only had for a week.

I walked into the room and looked at where I had been meditating years before, the day we moved into this house. I waved and smiled and could see a faint image of myself from the past, the shape of me in the chair at the back of the room.

I reached up and picked a random volume of Britannica off the shelf. I looked back at my past self and smiled and winked. Then I opened it and glanced at the pages as I remembered seeing myself do. I was shocked to my core by what I saw.

I had opened the page, at random, to all the famous Robert Bruce's in history. I looked back down, tingling with energy from head to toe, and one entrycaught my eye and I read 'robert bruce, famous Australian mystic author. . . . .' there was half a page on me. But how can this be. I was shocked and confused. I glanced back at my past self and hurried from the room to get my journal and think about this as I wrote it down.

A bit later, I put the book back on the shelf. My wife came home an hour later and I excitedly showed her what happened. I grabbed a book, again at random, as I did not note the volume or page, and there again was all the Robert Bruces - but the bit about me was not there now. Friends arrived later and i did it again, and opened the book to the same page.
I knew what volume it was by now, but not the page as I kept forgetting to record it; too excited.

I repeated this feat and found the same page several times over two days. Then I could not find it ever again. I had to use the index and it took me ten minutes or so (I was not used to the index system) to find it again. I was never able to repeat this.

I do not know exactly what the above experience means, but it gave me a lot of hope through some very difficult times in my life. It still gives me hope. It was a bright and shining experience full of hope and wonder.

I think that connecting with my past selves x2 and my then future and present self caused some kind of weird reality shift here in the physical dimension. Whatever the reason, my higher self obviously decided to give me an experience that could not be denied, and to encourage me.

So Robert Bruce, this is the same account my friend told me. He would like to know in which book and edition this account was published. Could you please inform? Thank you.

I am trying to practice doing this, unfortunetly I can’t astral project yet.

Is it possible to do this as a visualization exercise.

Basically I sit down and relax and imagine myself helping my younger self through a difficult time. Like I remember when I was a kid and I struggled with fitting in with some kids that didn’t like me because of my religion at the time.

Could I imagine myself going back and giving my younger self advice on how to deal with the situation. Like recreating the event in my mind, and then imagining me there telling him what to do?
