Your life!

  My "other" job is to be a stay-at-home dad with my 18-month son.  He certainly doesn't help much with projecting, as he is quite fussy and still wakes up multiple times during the night.

This surprises me.
 When my son was a baby he didn't sleep at all for the first two years- woke up every two hours for about a year and then every four for the second.  I can honestly say that I was out of my body for the most part of that first year, and had all kinds of spontaneous events at the weirdest moments.  I remember watching tv with him and all of a sudden finding myself floating next to him, freaking out that he might see me floating in the air.  Of course I was tranced and projected, but at the time I didn't realize it, it was freaky.

I work about fourteen hours a week stocking and cleaning a small grocery store.  My "other" job is to be a stay-at-home dad with my 18-month son.  He certainly doesn't help much with projecting, as he is quite fussy and still wakes up multiple times during the night.

Hey our boys are the same age
use his sleeping habits to your advantage that is one thing I have learnt. when my son wakes in the night I get up and settle him then I go back to bed and AP.
I had heaps more OBEs when my boy was a newborn due to his sleeping patterns.

@vedyl cool topic. Its nice to read a little background from everyone. Its also pretty cool that AP is not limited to certain "types" of people. although we come from differant walks of life we can come together to share experiences and also learn from eachother

[Vedyl]

@CFTraveler Thats cool 
 @phase423 Good luck with your son  may he grow healthy and strong like urshebear's son!
@urshebear ty    i'm glad you and phase423 can help each other by sharing experiences with your sons

I've been in the Marines for 15 years now.  I discovered astral projection, OBE's about three years ago and I have to say my perception has shifted dramatically to the point that I feel I don't fit in the military anymore.  I thought about getting out but having a wife and a kid made me think twice about it.  I have five years left and I retire, but in the meantime I continue my spiritual development, I think I can describe it as having valleys and peaks, up and down.

I wish I had a job where I could be desolate for most of the day so I could meditate so I'm looking for a degree that wont require much human contact, I thought about accounting, computer programmer so we'll see.

Oh don't do Computer Programming... it's nothing but pressure pressure pressure.

No job right now... I help at my moms office when I can. My anxiety has been off the roof and sometimes I can't even leave my house. I used to be a volunteer fireman. I think my dream job would be a Police Officer but I am in no shape to be doing that kind of work right now. Plus... I am only 20. They don't even want to look at you until you are at least 24+years old... I'm trying to stay positive. I have the best family in the world and they give me a place to live and am always there for me. I have had a long road with doctors... councilors... meds... and all of that stuff. Astral projection is changing my life though. My ultimate goal one day is to at least have one OBE a day. If not more.

This is what I do. Some days are stressful but mostly it's fun where I work-- we are hiring Xanth!  I'm at work now and reading this forum.  On Fridays we break out the nerf guns and rc helicopters. We sneak attack the accounting department who are always harassing us for reports.  I've only been APing since December. My 3 kids and snoring husband are more a challenge to my AP practice than my job.

I am unemployed too, like 75% of the people who responded to this question.  Wow, what is wrong with the economy at the moment.  But anyway, I have no set career path at the moment, but I've been: gas-station attendant, government worker dealing with quantitative databases, recreation director at an RV camp in Mississippi, English Teacher in Prague and a Photographer here in NY.

[CFTraveler]

Xanth is back to work.... and I have a job, although very part time.

[Astir]

My job does make me too tired for many things I used to enjoy.  I sleep hard, and infrequently...mostly because I am a nocturnal human working a full time day job.  I don't want to sound ungrateful that I have a job and good friends at work, but it isn't working with me.  Money isn't enough.  Mentally and physically I feel shattered at the end of each day. 40+ hour a week gigs don't seem like they are supposed to enable spiritual growth.  They seem like they're intended to stifle it.  All of that is secondary...I beginning to worry about my body.

I work until my bones ache...just to have medical benefits for my aching bones.  I would not be able to afford all of my medicines without medical insurance, and unfortunately I literally cannot live without the most expensive one I need.

I would do anything if I could work part time and still receive medical benefits.  I feel like I'm demolecularizing...like years are coming off my life, from pushing myself to do what others in perfect health do.  I'm fulfilling my job requirements, sure, but there will be a price that I will have to pay.  I can't seem to find a different job...I think I have the last one!

I know this is probably not too helpful, but try to think of it as a stage in life you will get through, and then in the future you will realize that there was something for you to learn from that experience.
I hope you can find a way to do it and maintain your health.
Blessings,
C.

 Astir it sounds like you are definitely going to change your occupation soon. You have given yourself every reason here to do it. I just wanted to tell you that money is nice. But I have noticed throughout my life that not being wealthy has shown me many more benefits than being rich would. Things in life just seem to mean more to you. Like going to a nice restaurant or saving for that special item that you wanted. Going to a movie once in awhile, things like this that get overlooked by the wealthy. I like living life with enough wealth to fullfill my basic needs. Shelter, food and clothing. Entertainment I can find that myself.

All I really need in life is to afford my medicine. 
A few cures for a few things would also work.
