New here...first experience.

[axslinger]

Recently somebody on another forum put up a link to a PDF document that was course on OBE.  I had always been interest in the subject so I began reading the first section.  I thought, okay, I can do this.

After getting the first method somewhat memorized, one night I went to bed and made a conscious effort to be "aware" of myself.  I as I felt myself drifting deeper and deeper I started to try to separate.  At one point I thought I was going to just nod off because I was past that point but as my regular body just "gave up" and fell asleep, my inner body suddenly "woke up"!  It was very much like watching TV while your'e very tired and eventually you give up trying to stay awake and nod off. As I went through that phase, I internally felt myself waking up at almost the same rate. It was very distinct.

So, once I reached that point I laid there and thought, okay, now what?  So, I sat up and tried to walk. The one thing I noticed is the more I thought about what I was doing, the less realistic and successful it was. If I "just did it" without giving it so much as a thought, it was as smooth as silk.

I remember dreaming that night but I don't know if I was in control of it. The only part I know for sure that I was in control of and was well aware that I was projecting was when I sat up then stood up and walked a few steps.

Anyway, it was definitely a cool experience to actually "live" in that other world. I'm looking forward to taking it further.

So you went to bed but tried to remain a tiny bit of your awareness conscious yes? interesting technique. Well done by the way.

That technique is interesting...and not so common to hear about.

I use it often when I try to force sleeping, while maintaining just a litlle of awareness, When I feel I am falling sleep y began to , gently, wake up and repeat again until I feel vibrations and separate.

That is how I frequently do it

Hi axslinger,

Cool that u had ur 1st experience. I read about astral exp a few years back, and so fascinated by it. I tried doing it, but only got to the part where my consciousness about to leave my body (u know, where the body vibrates ). Then i was freaked out and awoke

Then life got busy so no chance to try it again. Good luck and keep it up

P.S : can u send me the link to that PDF document or email it to me?

I find that statement you made about the tv to be of great interest.

I've heard that in terms of a "Matrix" type of reality, we can astral project into pictures, books, and movies or tv shows.  I once tried when I was young, and my body was vibrating and it felt like I was being pulled into a giant network, or a giant fishing net.  The television screen became very huge and was coming at me as I was being pulled into it, so, what I did in my quest to alter my phase frequency, I held that sensation until I gradually backed into my sofa.  I was very dizzy, and didn't know if I had been asleep or if I had been, then how long it had been.  And directly after that experience, I had sorry visuals and 'memories' of a family that I had that was subjugated by watching television.  The wallpaper was all peeling and they were very lonely, stupified people who did nothing but watch tv.  Now, my real life family does that a lot, I feel very bad for them.  They say they believe in Jesus Christ, but have no faith in anything and reject and scorn every creative or interesting idea.  It's like they are the ones that are still stuck inside of a tv.
