understand everything about it, but while watching the movie, "Left Behind," it was clear to me that I had to try. So, here I am on Christmas Eve, the eve of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, that I, Al Colombo, an alias to 'whom' and 'what' I really am, am willfully sitting at my desk writing something that I never thought I'd put into print for public consumption.
My QualificationsBefore we proceed into this extremely deep subject, let me explain to you why I'm a good fit for explaining this to you. I know there are those asking themselves "What makes this man qualified to even broach this subject?" Here the reason: It's simple: I have a lifetime of OBE experiences starting in the crib. OBE is a form of autoscopy (literally "seeing self"), although the term autoscopy more commonly refers to the pathological condition of seeing a second self, or doppelgänger. Pre Event DiscussionBefore we begin this long and arduous journey, let me say that an OBE can and often does occur when someone has an accident. From my experience and my research, I have concluded that this is a defensive mechanism designed to save self from experiencing the immense pain that can come from such an injury. It also can happen at the time of death.For example, in or about 1971, at the age of 21, I experienced an electrical shock of approximately 180,000 VAC by way of an X-Ray transformer designed to output 90,000 VAC. I was an X-Ray head repair technician for Weber Dental in Canton, Ohio, at the time. I was in my basement working on my workbench when the mistake took place (no, I was not at work, working on an X-Ray head). When I came to, I was hardly able to breath and it took me 20 minutes or more to gather the strength to get up off the floor 20 feet from my work bench. An AEP lineman, a friend, told me that I had experience death and that it was the fall to the concrete floor that revived my heart. It took me 20 minutes to oxygenate my body because I had been dead for a short time. The Power of OM/AumThere was a tremendous vibration that ebbed and coursed through me at the time as I regained consciousness, the same vibration that I experience when I go out of body. That vibration is none other than OM, also known as Aum (I spoke of this in my Oct. 1, 2018 blog post, entitled Revealing the Hidden Things or Coming Out of the Closet. I also spoke of OM/Aum in my Oct. 7, 2018 blog entry entitled Where to Find Om. Listen, this blog post is going to take me some time to assemble, and it's not going to take place today. Most likely it won't be completed even in two parts because there's SO VERY MUCH to share with you about it. But in the process of telling you about OBE's, I'll also be explaining the Big Picture and our place in it, at least a good portion of it. If you know of someone who's interested in this kind of thing, here's a shortened link to give them that will enable them to read it for themselves: http://bit.ly/2QOB0PG So, without further ado? "Have a Merry Christmas," and look for my part 2 next week! OBE's Part 2 (Revised 3/19/19 @ 18:45 ET) |

As I sit in retirement, working nonetheless at building a business I’ve actually had and worked part time since 1995, I can’t help but feel out of touch, out of sorts, off center, as if I’d fallen off a horse and failed to jump back on. And yet, if you were to call me up (330-956-9003) and ask me what day it is, I’ll be quite able to tell you (today’s the 10th of December, 2018). That’s better than my wife who retired in 2016. Despite the fact that she comes and goes, is a member of several community organizations, she usually has to look at her cell phone to see what the date is.
And yet, I’m dogged with this feeling of societal disconnect. When you consider the fact that I’m no longer getting up each day and running out the door to a 9-to-5 job, it’s probably easy to see why I feel disconnected. I’m use to working hard and long each day. And now, even though I work hard and long for myself, I’m no longer in an office environment where I’m eye-to-eye with others. We all say retirement is great, but for many of us it’s not. But I’m learning to enjoy some of the freedoms that it provides. Now, instead of dividing my time between a full-time job, managing someone else’s business, I can manage my own. It’s different for sure. Assignment: Those of you who are already retired, how are you dealing with the idle time it presents? Those of you who are still a ways from the "big dive," what do you plan to do to stay busy? Feel free to comment below, use the contact form on the left, or send me your thoughts by email--let’s chat about it a bit.--Al Colombo |

the people of this nation. Here's what our second President, John Adams, had to say about this idea...
John Adams said, “Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”Now, if this were a Democracy, why on earth would our second Prez say something like this? Most of you act as though a Democracy is good. Do you have any idea what a Democracy is? One way to look at it "majority rule.' Another way to see it is this: "mob rule." The idea of a REPUBLIC is that the rules by which society operates remain the same, in concrete, in stone, no matter what the trends are, no matter what everyone thinks; the rules remain the same. Why? To protect NOT the majority, but the INDIVIDUAL. From the time I was a kid in Waco School to now, we've gone from INDIVIDUAL protections to MAJORITY RULE! This is truly a frightening thing. Some of you won't understand the difference until the weight of the majority comes down on your head as an individual. Oh, but that's okay, for it's more important that the interests of the many are served over that of the lone person... right? NO, it's not right.This is what happens when a leader convinces his nation that individual rights are no longer important over that of the community. Collectivism under any name you choose to call it is deadly. These are pictures from World War II. Sad, but true. We need to be reminded what can happen when the laws of a nations can be easily changed to suit a particular leader. Want to know more about John Adams and this Republic? Pick one of the following and consider taking the time to learn about both the man and his dream:

Through it I can cut through the clutter of life to cut to the chase.
The DB process came about because of a collaboration with my brother, RMR. He and I decided we wanted to know more about cosmic consciousness, which the advertisements spoke of in relation to an out of body (OBE/Out of Body Experience) process that I dubbed "Disembodiment," hense DB. Well, instead of learning the OBE thing from that, I learned how to visualize and process reality w/o words. It's immensely valuable, lightning fast, and it renders an outcome far superior to that which is possible by "talking to one's self via human words." That's not to say I did not eventually learn the art of OBE.... |
“[Aum is] The basis of all sounds; universal symbol-word for God. Aum of the Vedas became the sacred word Hum of the Tibetans; Amin of the Muslims; and Amen of the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Jews, and Christians. Amen in Hebrew means sure, faithful. Aum is the all-pervading sound emanating from the Holy Ghost (Invisible Cosmic Vibration; God in His aspect of Creator); the “Word” of the Bible; the voice of creation, testifying to the Divine Presence in every atom. Aum may be heard through practice of Self-Realization Fellowship methods of meditation. ‘These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.’ --Revelation 3:14. ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God….. All things were made by him [the Word or Aum]; and without him was not any thing made that was made.’ --John 1:1, 3”

Final Thoughts In my next blog post, I’ll go into the art of blanking your mind as well as why it’s important to perceive and commune with OM on a daily basis. For now, look for it, that small buzzing sound, and practice blanking your mind, clearing it of all human words. Also, here’s a video that goes into the art of understanding one's true nature. For those who are concerned about where this is going, please understand that Paramahansa became a Christian. He was able to join the benefits of his native metaphysical understandings with that of Christianity. The combination is astounding when practiced as a single point of understanding. Al Colombo |
