Welcome to Ask A Sybil Susan Hoffman. Thank you for choosing to be here with us.

Hey everyone. Thank you for being patient with the Daily Whisper posts. I know daily guidance is nice, and we aim to provide that guidance every day. Some days only one of us will us post in Daily Whispers, and some days all of us will post. As summer approaches, we are working to insulate our barn and it is taking a majority of our time. Sir Crystal also works a 40hr week job, and he may not be able to post everyday as a result of his job. We are always here if you need personal guidance. Just visit the classroom to find the Sybil you wish to consult. Again, thank you for your patience and trust.

The name has changed from Ask The Oracles to Ask A Sybil

This is the scientific term for the transitional period between wakefulness and sleep. During this phase, the brain often experiences "hypnagogic hallucinations" in form of vivid imagery, sounds, or sudden insights. Many practitioners believe this is the moment the "veil" is thinnest, allowing for messages from the universe or the collective unconscious to surface. I want to talk about this state for a moment. It is a real thing, and I would not have thought is was a real thing had I not experienced it myself. I do not want to go in to details on my experience, however I wanted to know if this was used by anyone to help them further thier career or lives. This is what I learned: 1. Salvador Dalí (The "Slumber with a Key" Technique) The surrealist painter was obsessed with the images that appeared in the "twilight zone" of sleep. He developed a specific method to capture them: - The Method: He would sit in a chair, holding a heavy metal key between his fingers over a tin plate on the floor. - The Result: As he drifted off and his body relaxed (lowering his heart rate), his grip would loosen, and the key would crash onto the plate. The sudden noise woke him up instantly, allowing him to sketch the bizarre, "divine" imagery he had just seen before it faded. 2. Thomas Edison (The Steel Balls Method) Edison didn't just invent; he "harvested" ideas from the subconscious. He believed that the state between wakefulness and sleep was where the most creative solutions lived. - The Method: Similar to Dalí, Edison would nap in a chair while holding a steel ball in each hand. - The Result: When the balls hit the floor, he’d wake up and immediately write down whatever thought or "message" was in his mind. He credited this for many of his breakthroughs. 3. Edgar Cayce (The "Sleeping Prophet") Cayce is perhaps the most famous example of using a low-heart-rate trance for pure divination. He would lay down and enter a state that looked like a deep sleep. - The Method: He would induce a self-hypnotic trance that lowered his breathing and heart rate significantly. - The Result: While in this "sleep," he claimed to access the Akashic Records (a universal library of all thoughts and events). He gave over 14,000 "readings" on everything from medical cures to lost civilizations while in this state.

One of the many channels I like to watch on You Tube is the Why Files. I believe I saw this on one of the episodes, I forget which one. AJ talks about bases on the moon and aliens recycling souls with a soul catcher. Then I think about the light at the end of the tunnel that we are all supposed to see when we die. I flat-lined twice in my life, and never saw that light. I experienced what has been called the Dark Void. I didn't experience missing time. I remember those moments as simply black. Apparently this is tied to how I died. Both times, my system experienced a traumatic and instant shut down. My brain did not have any time to release the hormones that would result in hallucinations of the white light. It may also explain why I remember that time as being in the Dark Void instead of missing time. What do you guys think about the theory of a soul catcher on the moon? Gosh I love WF?! Heckle Fish is brilliant.
