Von Braschler: Ghosts, Time Travel and Manifesting Reality
Von Braschler sat down with Bob to discuss how Ghosts, Time Travel, and the ability of Manifesting Reality may (at first) appear to have absolutely nothing to do with the other, but as we dwell into the depths of conversation it becomes clearer how each are representative of a greater picture and are cohesive in nature. In this conversation Von also touches on what he calls The Holy Book of Dzyan (the oldest known manuscript on earth) which was purportedly written by beings known to us as Angels. Also, in this episode we discuss the potential of having a trespasser break into your body if you were to soul travel outside of your physical body (leaving your flesh and blood house unsecure and open for invasion).
