I, as a multidimensional being existing in an infinite number of dimensions, am intimately connected to these other aspects of my higher self, which reside in these other levels of reality. Communication between these individual yet interconnected consciousnesses is always occuring, but usually unconsciously, or consciously in alternate states of consciousness, such as in the dream state, out of body, or during trance. This is known as channeling. This is usually initiated by a more consciously-advanced aspect of my inner being, and yet it most importantly requires my part in the connection, for I must be at a level of consciousness aware enough to be capable of receiving the energy, where as the more advance consciousness will usually always be at this level.

The purpose for this communication is the advancement of the consciousnesses of the individuals involved to new levels of awareness, understanding, and creative expression, this being the purpose for existence. This experience is not limited to humans, or my present level of consciousness. Just as higher aspects of my being communicate to me, these more advanced aspects receive guidance from aspects even more developed and aware than themselves, and this channeling process most likely continues into infinity.

Guidance may be received via dream symbols, telepathy, or sudden bursts of insight or new perceptions, and it is the syncronicity which follows these experiences in my physical reality which confirms the reality of this guidance and its source. Communication also takes place in levels so far removed from normal waking consciousness that recall is nearly impossible. There is usually a strong feeling lingering within me after such an experience, a feeling of knowing something extremely important, and yet not being able to verbalize or translate the experience to a physical level. In cases such as this, the knowledge will usually be unconsciously utilized in my daily experience.

JOURNAL ENTRY 39

Last night I fell asleep listening to Gateway, as usual.  I did some light chakra stimulation before I passed out.  Anyway, during a dream soon afterwards, I became very lucid.  I immediately decided to have an out of body experience.  Suddenly I was in a black void observing geometric patterns moving and changing.  I was not aware of any exit sensations, or at least I do not remember them occuring.  My next memory is me being out of my body.

I was in a place that seemed to be in front of my house.  However, it was extremely different.  My house was actually a fire house, and there was a large field across the street, where in real life there is actually only a small grass lot.  However, there was a body of water where my bay actually is, so I believe I was in an astral realm in the same spacial location as my physical location.  The sky was sunny with some clouds, quite beautiful.

The first thing I remember is observing a group of guys outside of the fire house.  They appeared to be fire fighters.  They seemed to be having a good time conversing and joking around.  I flew away, towards the field. 

I decided to look at my hands, and almost immediately they disintegrated before my eyes.  It was as if they had just been burned extremely quickly by an invisible fire.  My hands and arms were gone.  I looked away, and glanced back at them.  They were there again.  I then flew up into the sky with extreme speed in an attempt to shift dimensions to an astral realm, not knowing I was already in one.(I realized I was in an astral realm after regaining waking consciousness)

I came back down to the field where there was a man standing next to a fire hydrant.  I flew to the edge of the field, and passed by a half bull-half human being.  I had to dodge to the side to avoid him.  He was doing some kind of labor, it seemed. 

Still under the impression that I was not in an astral realm, I spun around with great speed to shift dimensions.  When I stopped, the sky appeared to be slightly darker, and things were different.  The top of the fire hydrant in the field was cut off.  The man next to it began talking to me.  He said.. "I'm trying to teach you how to.." and the rest, I forget.  All I know is that whatever he wanted to teach me, I was not interested, because I payed him no attention and flew to the fire house.  I get the impression it had to do with labor.

Things were very different at the fire house, as well.  The group of fire fighters were instead dressed in postal uniforms.  They were drinking beer, and looked not so well-groomed.  A group of guys, who were wearing the same uniforms the postal guys were wearing before I spun around(which I assumed to be fire uniforms), soon approached the postal guys.  They said they were in the military, and started making fun of the postal guys and giving them a hard time. 

It seems as if I may have shifted dimensions slightly, by spinning.  I am thinking that in the dimension after the spin, the people there had different status, different roles, different lives than they had in the dimension I was initially in. 

JOURNAL ENTRY 38

Last night I listened to the Focus 21 track of Wave 7.  I was well rested at this point, having just slept a good 6 hours, so I knew something interesting would happen-that I would actually be awake for!

I soon lost almost all bodily awareness during the countup to 21.  I then got a strong ability to visualize and see what I was visualizing perfect.  I saw myself on a familiar street, and I was flying down this street, turning down this street and that street, all familiar places to me in my town.  Soon I was actually on these streets, flying around at high speeds.  Sometimes my legs would scrape the ground, and I would feel them going through the pavement.. a weird feeling to say the least. 

I then find myself back in my body.  However, I do not feel back in my body.  I feel as if I am floating in an infinite void.  I am a geometric shape, spinning around in all directions, expanding and changing forms.  This was a very abstract feeling so I am doing my best to desscribe it.

Soon after I see a scene in my head.  It is a midget and a model food shopping.  I believe they were a couple.  I was just watching this scene as if it were a movie.  However, this couple goes to a clothing store inside this food market(?), and at this point I find myself actually at this place, my consciousness flying around.  In this clothing store I notice a clothing brand that catches my attention.  I look close and it says, "Astral" on the logo.  I thought wow!  I would probably buy this if it were real.  Of course, the word astral is significant to me.

I then find myself back in my body again, falling deeply into the trance state.  The final sinking sensation let me know I was about to leave my body.  A few more moments in an abstract state of conscious meditation and I was soon floating up towards my ceiling. 

I was approaching the ceiling quite slowly, and was soon passing through it.  However, somthing began pulling my backwards.  I thought I was just being pulled back into my body, but I soon found out I was wrong.  I began to see my room enlongate as I was being pulled backwards.  There were a lot of windows or posters on the walls and ceiling, and this whole room was just being stretched out as my point of view was vanishing backwards.  The room was dark and shadowy.  I then felt a pretty deep pinch on my left shoulder.  It did not feel pleasant.  I immediately thought... this must be some kind of negative entity.  Whatever it was, it came from behind me and did somthing to give me an unpleastant feeling on my shoulder.  I immediately snapped back into my body, and still felt a buzzing sensation in my shoulder a moment after. 

I wonder what happened to my shoulder, and who did it?  I sure as hell wasn't sticking around to find out.  Especially not in that low level I projected to.

Now the question is... how long before it is discovered to be a hoax? (Just like every other artifact that "proved" Big J's existance)

I suppose I can give you a few pointers on starting out with Gateway.  First, it is important to do it consistantly.  Do it at least once a day.  It is best to do it in the afternoon or when you are not so tired, but doing it before bed works too.

Also, it is good to set some kind of intent before doing the exercises.  It will help give you some direction, and may influence what you experience.  Of course, there is nothing wrong with having no intentions for the exercises and simply experiencing the different focus levels.

Motivation helps a lot.  Perhaps starting up a journal like I have will help keep you going once you get started.

Good luck!

hmm my best advice would be to do a google search for "mastering astral projection" and "torrent."  This would let you know if there were any torrents for the CD MAP, and you would be able to download it for free if you have a bittorrent downloader.

All I can say is wow when thinking about this dream.
 
It starts off in a camping type situation.  I am with some people I know.  Eventually we make our way to this arcade.  Suddenly, its like we are characters in an arcade game.  An arcade game of evil and killing.  I am killing off demons and there is a giant dinosaur trying to eat me.  Then I get to one place and its another game-type situation.  I have to chop this ladies arms off before they stab me with the knives she is holding.  At one point of the dream my brother is playing the game, and its a normal game of Sonic the Hedgehog.  Then the focus is taken off the game he is playing and it becomes the psycho real life game again.  It wasn't neccessarily scarey, but just strange.
 
Then I remember this dream that was even more gruesome.  It was basically texas chainsaw massacre, only I was in it.  The guy caught me and chopped my arms off and then hung me on a fence post.  Somehow I grew the arms back, and remember trying to escape.  Anyway, it was really disturbing having to witness all the violence.
 
I don't know why I am having the gruesome dreams.  I felt great today, however.  It was as if I was killing off bad emotions or somthing in the dreams.  Or maybe I was killing off my sickness.  I don't know, those are just some silly ideas.
 

Yes.  You definately want to only do the first track once.  It is more of an introduction if anything.  Start working on the focus ten exercises, they are the most important.  Focus ten is fundamental to every CD in the gateway series, so get crackin and good luck!

New Energy Ways is the best thing out there.

Yes.  Energy work.  Vibrations are simply the feeling produced when your etheric body's energy is manipulated and excited.  This can be done by energy manipulation techniques provided by Robert Bruces New Energy Ways.  Vibrations also occur when your reflected energy bodies are generated from your etheric body and projected from it-Astral Projection- but Im sure you knew that already.  I assume you are describing the subtle vibrations accompanied by energy movement.  Do energy development techniques.

binaural exposition, binaural shmexposition.  Gateway Experience is by far the best hemi sync program you can use.  I have the mp3 tracks of the gateway and they work perfectly.  I have used just about every hemisync program there is, so take it from me. 

The only problem with switching tracks is that it requires you to move your hand to skip to the desired track.  This can easily break an altered state if you are a beginner, as it used to happen for me.  However, you will find that it is quite easy to regain your state of focus 10, or focus 12 or whatever state you were just in.  These days it does not botter me at all.  With practice you find it takes more than expected to break your concentration.  I have felt a wide range of effects from the exercises.  I do recall feeling a moderate amount of heat during an exercise or two.  I am not sure if I described it in my journals, but I certainly remember it. 

Last night I had a dream which I have had many times before.  In the dream, I had to go pee really bad.  So I started to go, but it burned reeaaally bad.  Usually I can not feel pain in dreams, but in this case I could.  It felt like glass was coming out.  I have had dreams in which this occurs many times before.  It always burns really bad.  One time tobacco came out instead of pee.  It felt terrible.  What could be the reason for this?

Full time work + full time school = loosing consciousness during Gateway Experience
 
That is the equation I have discovered.
 
I've been doing the exercises every night, but I am constantly passing out during them due to extreme tiredness.  Last night I managed to stay conscious long enough to remember the experience.
 
I was listening to Wave 2 part 1, focus 12.  It seems I can instantly get into focus 12 now.  Whether I am laying down doing an exercise, or sitting down in a chair for a minute.  I have a way to feel myself joining the source of infinite consciousness(this is what it feels like anyway).  I will myself to become one with everything, and almost instantly loose most of the awareness of my body, and it feels like I am HUGE.  Not body-wise, but consciousness-wise.  It is a feeling of total peace and tranquility.
 
So while in focus 12, I feel myself entering a deep trance.  The heaviness of my body lets me know I will soon be able to have an out of body experience.  Then total lightness sets in along with light vibrations, and my energy body's arms reach up and I start pulling an imaginary rope, lifting upwards.  However, I only feel this lifting for a moment, and I am instantly back into my body.  However, I do not think I was actually sucked back into my body.  I did not feel the usual pull that I get when I am brought back, or the dropping sensation.  Rather, it felt as if my conscious awareness shifted from my real time body back to my etheric/physical body.  According to Robert Bruce, sometimes during OBEs, our awareness does not enter the reflected energy body having the OBE, but rather stays inside the etheric/physical body which is still laying in bed immobile.  I believe this is what happened to me.  Its ashame, I probably missed out on a great experience.
 

u can download it for free if you want.  just go on any torrent website.
