Can someone please help me out with any equations on astral projection.?

Astral Travel Can Cut Down our Overdependence /Usage of Fossil Fuels.

It can Cut down the Emmissions of Harmful Gases that Deplete the Ozone Layer.

I'm currently working of Teleportation. I Think Astral Travel / Teleportation has a lot to offer in terms of faster journeys and a cleaner Earth.

I need Inputs.

The Ploice is Re-branding. Ever heard about the power of branding?

I think in terms of image, it should help a bit. The next step should be re-orientation. Altho the latter should have preceded the change in uniforms.

Nevertheless, its a step forward. The old uniform was a shame, an offshoot of the "Dark" days of the Babangida Era.

Lets usher in a new era. The change has a spiritual significance too.

My Opinion/Views.




I Strongly Believe that Jesus Christ is the Resurrection and the Life. His Resurrection from the dead is a demonstration of the reawakening and resurrection that awaits all who acknowlwdge Him as their personal lord and saviour. It is recorded in the book of Corinthians that 0ver 500 people witnessed that event.

1 Corinthians 15:1-10

1. Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2. By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4. And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5. And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6. After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
9. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.



My only grouse is this:

The way we Christains spend time dwelling over trivial issues like, "The Bible is Made Up of only 66 Books and any other addition is Wrong". "If u take out or add it shall be taken out from your portion of life, etc"

"The Protestant Christian Bible contains 66 books, from Genesis to Revelation. The Catholic Christian Bible contains the same 66 books and an extra 7 books. Those extra 7 books are mostly historical accounts of events that took place before the time of Jesus."

Etc Etc, of what use is all these arguments? Before these "Chosen" texts were compiled, they existed as independent books. Some "Council" after deliberations combined them based on the available texts and "Inspired Views"

The Council of Laodicea, in 360, produced a list of books of the Old Testament similar to today's canon. This was one of the Church's earliest decisions on a Canon.
Pope Damasus I in the Council of Rome, in 382, gave us the complete list of the books of the Bible, including the New Testament, and the same Bible was confirmed by Pope Paul III at the Ecumenical Council of Trent (1545).

There are another 35 good books, dealing with themes of the Old and New Testament, and attributed to Enoch, Moses, Salomon, St. Paul, St. Thomas, St. James, St. Peter, Virgin Mary, and they are not in the Bible, because the Church says so!. Deutero-canonical and Apocrypha Books


Fancy that?

Revelation ends with these verses:

" For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book."

The very part of the bible where this was quoted, ie the Book of Revelation: Refers only to that book, John was saying if you add or take out of the book(Originally known as the Apocalypse), "this is what waits You"


The Fact remains also that there were Other Accounts of the Life of Christ written by other Disciples and Apostles

The early church pooled out some books which they considered "Most Explicit" to potray the accounts of Our Creator and the Ministry of Christ while He was on earth. Why do we kill ourselves over this? The Vatican has a large collection of manuscripts by various converts, disciples, apostles and believers narrating their own experiences and accounts of the ministry.

Some where considered too exagerated or vague. But the point is this: Have two people ever narrated a Movie exactly the same.?

Ask a small class of say 30 to write an essay of their experiences in the same class for the last 2 weeks and see if two people have the exact narration.

Lets not dwell too much on the number of books but on the Messsage of these Books.



The Message is This: "Jesus Christ Is Resurrected and He Sitteth @ the Right Hand Of God. He Is The Resurrection and the Life. He Shall Come again to Judge the Living and the Dead and His Kingdom Shall HAve No End.

This Is The Foundation, the Bedrock of Our Christian Faith.

Life Is An Exercise in Pursuit of Happiness.

Home is Where Your Heart Is At Rest.

If Going Back Would Make You Happy Please Do.

Some People Head Back Home For Various Reasons. Whatever it It Is Make Sure You are Internally Convicted and Motivated To Do So.

With These You Will Have No Problem Adjusting. We Have A Large Pool of Lecturers that Schooled Abroad Lecturing in Nigeria Now. Believe it or not, they have contributed their own quota. No matter how small.

If staying out will also make you happy, then please feel free to. You can still contribute you own quota from there or be available when called upon for national assignment.

A good example is Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.

Guess He Laernt Nothing From The Military Courses at National Institute for Policy & Strategic Study NIPSS, infact his last course before being "Selected" as Sultan.

Infact he's in no position to tell anyone about Democracy because the very Institution (Office)on which he now sits upon was founded thru coercion
and forced submission.

Was he he himself elected or selected?

Was his admission into the defence academy based on merit or based on his royal antecedent?

Please, he should give us a break and seek better and more noble ways to be recognised or if he wants to be relevant in the scheme of things.

Its is the dawn of a New Nigeria, A Nigeria of Well Informed and Enlightened Citizens. We are witnessing the advent of a new generation of Nigerians that you can never bagger around.

Infact the current ruling generation is about the last that would settle for mediocrity.

Most of these Old Folks are increasingly finding it a hard fact to come to terms with.

I think we should just learn to forgive or move on wthout bitterness.
