Hello everyone

[Astral Anarchist]

Hey, my name is Sal.  I’ve been interested in obe’s in general for over 6 years now.  I remember first hearing about obe’s from my history instructor back in high school.  Needless to say, I was amazed about the experiences he presented relating to how he took advantage of the state he was in order to heal patients and do things that were not possible in the physical such as flying and going through walls.  Interestingly enough, 6 months after hearing about this, I had my first spontaneous obe, and I’ve been hooked ever since. 

I tend to resonate more with explorers such as Robert Monroe, Frank Kepple, and Tom Campbell for their open-minded/skepticism approach.  Hopefully, one day I’ll be able to have the opportunity to see if it’s possible to replicate some of their experiences and expand on them. 

Anyways, I’ve felt that I’m in the verge of breaking through to my first intentional obe so I decided to join the Pulse in order to increase my enthusiasm and chat with other like-minded people.

Hi there Sal!

Welcome to the Astral Pulse.

Hopefully you find what you're looking for. 

[Killa Rican]

Welcome to pulse!!

Hi, Astral Anarchist! Welcome to Pulse! The explorers you named are/were on the right track in my opinion. Robert Monroe is the person I owe for being able to induce OOBEs today. Frank Kepple and his focus model or "wider reality" views ring true to me because a lot of what he describes matches my experience. I am yet to check out Tom Campbell but from what I've heard, he sounds great.

Hi Sal, welcome to the Astral Pulse! 

[Astral Anarchist]

Thank you all, I’m glad to be here!

Thanks man!  It’s good to know that Frank’s experiences coincide with yours!  As for Tom Campbell, based on the video presentations that I’ve seen of him on youtube, unfortunately I haven’t had the opportunity to read his book “My Big Toe”, he pretty much says the same things as the other two explorers but using his own physics-oriented terminologies which kind of get cumbersome at the beginning but you kind of get used to them.

I love science anyway. I also like quantum physics in layman's terms (hehe). I've always thought of metaphysical projections as quantum leaps/jumps in that, like the electron, we apparently go AWOL from this reality frequency into that of another...

Many people kept banging on about My Big Toe. To be honest I can't wait to read it! My mouth is watering...

Hell yeah! Science without dogma or bias is a beautiful thing. Interestingly enough, your description of how you perceive projections has parallels with the theory that we live in a fractal reality (everything that exists is contained within every single particle) in that we shift our point of awareness inward or outward (as above so below) into the next fractal (dimension).

I’m probably exaggerating about Tom’s terminology being hard to take in.  Once you understand what he means by achieving lower entropy,(less mental clutter/more love) and his energy systems etc., you’ll find everything from that point on to be straight forward.

[Summerlander]

Yes, I very much believe it is about shifting our awareness. By the way, you are not exaggerating at all. I kinda see what you mean. I still have to check out Tom's videos though!

It is also interesting that in the metaphysical (be it dreams or projections), observation seems to play a major role in manifesting the environment. For example, in the dream world, if you look at something, look away and then back, you might find that something has changed.

In waking life, things don't happen that way in our physical world (apparently). But on a quantum level, however, observation seems to play a role in manifesting outcomes (as seen in the double-slit experiment) which is not so different from what happens in dreams! Only in the dreamworld, it seemingly happens on a macroscopic level...

Perhaps the metaphysical is made of the same energy as the physical...the difference being that it is more 'malleable'.

Ah yes, the measurement problem and the famous riddle,  "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"  I find all this quantum physics stuff to be very exciting, and correlates so well with astral projection.  I can’t wait to be able to have astral projections on a regular basis to probe deeper into these mysteries. 

I totally agree with what you’re saying about the metaphysical being more of a malleable environment compared to the physical.  It would be nice though if it was possible to find a way to alter the laws of physics that govern this realty to our own will similar to that of the metaphysical.  Oh well, I can dream can I? 

I really need to start getting better in this projecting stuff!!!

Apparently, you have been living in an eggshell. There are too many similarities between the two, to simply dismiss the case and focus on daydreaming. Are you so reviled by a little time and hard work that the two realities are somehow developed into a hell/heaven construct?

How narcissistic of you.

How narcissistic of you.

Let's try to discuss things without resorting to name calling please.

[Monk]

How is that name calling? Pointing out an egotistical and possibly "dangerous" thought without wording or intending such to the individual themselves is now an offence?
