I cannot find the original post, but if I am correct, then I applaud the effort. Claire and I talked of a possible 'created' situation a few years back. A place we seemed to have both visited. It was also pretty much of a dome (no corners - no apparent walls - yet, it was an enclosure). It was free flowing colors of orange, yellow, and green. All very brightly lit. What could be perceived as a floor, was colored in the same fashion - but there were symbols that I took to represent the signs of the Zodiac. When I visited it, there was a voice with me - as that of a guide - who told me that this place was like a meeting place of worship for a certain group of religious followers. The voice went on to say that it was pretty much abandoned at this point in time but that some still came back now and then. I really don't know what this thread is all about. I've actually been avoiding reading the thread because it felt too familiar. As I recall from our conversations in private e-mail, both Claire and I seemed to know quite a bit about this place. It may not be the same place you are all talking about - but it seems to be in the same shape and serve a similar purpose.

Hi, Bart, got all those boxes unpacked yet? :) I wish you every happiness in your new home - you do sound ready for it! I'll copy out the Astraldome post: As the Group's fantasy architect, I'd like to welcome you all to a stunning titanium 'Astraldome', easy to find on the Astral Plane (that's the first and easiest one to get to!). The dome is located in the heart of a tranquil lamplit Japanese-style garden of stately cedar trees, trickling streamlets and moss-covered rocks. I have fully welded the geodhesic titanium structure - I got A+ for welding in real life, so it should be sturdy enough to resist even the Astral winds! Welding titanium gives the heat effect of rainbows bouncing down the welding seals on the framework, the way that petrol shines in rainbows on puddles in the road. The triangular canopied entrance is lined with four of Floating's plain white marble pillars.The Astraldome is ringed by a shining mirror-smooth pool, scattered with waterlilies. You cross over a gently curving wooden bridge to reach the dome. Inside, a central circular slab-like granite hearth with a blazing apple-wood log fire.The smoke rises up a gleaming copper-funnelled chimney to the crown of the dome. People are placing their symbolic treasures on the mantle shelf.Triangular windows in the structure give glimpses into the lamplit garden and the starlit sky. A warm beech plank floor, smooth, golden and glossy, strewn with glowing oriental rugs. A ring of comfortable chairs around the fire. A long table laden with everyone's favourite food and drink. Pots of vibrant flowers and leafy plants. People could add their own art, sculpture, music and writings. You can feel entirely safe from scary hags and other Astral naughties, as my Angel and I constructed an elaborate protection system around the dome, insulating it with a thick layer of fluffy pink love. Swimming in the pool is a pair of the Sacred Celtic Salmon of Truth - ask them questions and they will answer, albeit cryptically! (Please don't try to eat them, Bruce, they are very large and have sharp teeth!). The four pillars in the porch are occupied by four friendly and helpful Elemental beings, representing the Earth, Air, Water and Fire. Their duty is to maintain the gardens, purify and cleanse the air and water, and to keep the fire burning comfortably in the Astraldome. They are also commisioned to defend the space within from any invading bad spirits, evilwishers and sceptics... They won't do you any harm, and they all have jobs to be getting on with! Then my Angel spread his huge dazzling glorious wings and blessed the interior of the dome, in one blinding flash of divine white light. So you are all welcome. I'll pop in whenever I can, but do feel free to visit whenever you please and meet whoever is already there! Lovely.... Love from Julia. ###### From: "claire" Newsgroups: alt.out-of-body Subject: Re: Astraldome?

Frankly, I think it's easier for two people to meet up in a place formed by multiple minds for the purpose of meeting because it would reflect everyone's personal vibrations. That's how you and I found that other place. We were drawn to it by it's tune, so to speak. That it lasted a long time or it's outside of time is puzzling as I wouldn't think a thoughtform would last a terribly long time after the creators lose interest.

Welding titanium gives the heat effect of rainbows bouncing down the welding seals on the framework, the way that petrol shines in rainbows on puddles in the road. The triangular canopied entrance is lined with four of Floating's plain white marble pillars.The Astraldome is ringed by a shining mirror-smooth pool, scattered with waterlilies. You cross over a gently curving wooden bridge to reach the dome. Inside, a central circular slab-like granite hearth with a blazing apple-wood log fire.The smoke rises up a gleaming copper-funnelled chimney to the crown of the dome. People are placing their symbolic treasures on the mantle shelf.Triangular windows in the structure give glimpses into the lamplit garden and the starlit sky. A warm beech plank floor, smooth, golden and glossy, strewn with glowing oriental rugs. A ring of comfortable chairs around the fire. A long table laden with everyone's favourite food and drink. Pots of vibrant flowers and leafy plants. People could add their own art, sculpture, music and writings. You can feel entirely safe from scary hags and other Astral naughties, as my Angel and I constructed an elaborate protection system around the dome, insulating it with a thick layer of fluffy pink love. Swimming in the pool is a pair of the Sacred Celtic Salmon of Truth - ask them questions and they will answer, albeit cryptically! (Please don't try to eat them, Bruce, they are very large and have sharp teeth!). The four pillars in the porch are occupied by four friendly and helpful Elemental beings, representing the Earth, Air, Water and Fire. Their duty is to maintain the gardens, purify and cleanse the air and water, and to keep the fire burning comfortably in the Astraldome. They are also commisioned to defend the space within from any invading bad spirits, evilwishers and sceptics... They won't do you any harm, and they all have jobs to be getting on with! Then my Angel spread his huge dazzling glorious wings and blessed the interior of the dome, in one blinding flash of divine white light. So you are all welcome. I'll pop in whenever I can, but do feel free to visit whenever you please and meet whoever is already there! Lovely.... Love from Julia. ###### NNTP-Posting-Host: user-10003900.zetnet.co.uk Message-ID: <2000010716032875767@zetnet.co.uk> Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2000 16:03:28 GMT Newsgroups: alt.out-of-body From: J L Williams X-Mailer: ZIMACS Version 1.25c 10003900 Subject: Re: Astraldome?
