Hi there

What do you guys (girls) think about the idea of making a Sticky with the subject
"How to convert LD's into Astralprojections" ? ( Or something similar)

I thinks thats a very interesting subject with a lot of benefits for people who have problems inducing Astral Projections from the waking state. I'm sure there have already been posted a lot of good techiques and I believe it would be helpful to gather a collection of them on one thread.

Just an idea though

Cheers Tom

Lucid Dreams can be wonderful things in and of themselves.  The Higher Self goes through a great deal of effort to make Big Lucid Dreams the pivotal points of one's Spiritual Development, and so I would be careful about nullifying each and every single Lucid Dream that would come along.  However, I suppose that the Higher Self would be able to somehow effect the Astral Projections so that the same Spiritual Advancements could be attained... one way or the other.

Anyway, I was once able to turn a Lucid Dream into an Astral Projection.  I think I used Sylvan Muldunes technique of once having become lucid, I put myself into the same position that I would think corresponded to the position of my sleeping body -- in this case I levitated up horizontally belly-up, back-down.  And then I willed myself to rise up into the air.  The Technique presupposes that this rising up will take the Astral Body up and away from the physical body, out of range of where the 'silver chord' which connects the two bodies can likely cause interference (I believe that they all say that one should get at least 20 feet from the physical body, or there is the problem of being whipped back into the body from any even minor emotional disturbance).  

Anyway, I went upward like a rocket.  In the Dream it was broad daylight and so it seemed that I went up so fast and high that I got above the atmosphere and could begin to see the black sky and the stars.  This is when I crashed through to the Real Astral.  It was still dark, but it was cloudy and I was only a few hundred feet above my house.  There was a bit of the Mind-Split thing going on, and so when my maid in the kitchen rattled a few pots and pans, it woke me up for a second... but since I was well above the body I was not pulled entirely back into the body, and was able to re-establish my awareness in the Astral.  I decided to get away from the house altogether and go to the local downtown Rail Station and Town Square.  There were some subjective elements.  Apparently the Local People were more proud of their Town then they ever let on, because in the Astral they have this huge Statue of an old town Hero.  And near one store there were these demonic imps playing about.  So in the future I made it a point not to shop at that particular store.

Maybe ask Robert Bruce or his friends to do an article on it, that beats a sticky.

Hi Tombodenmann, If you can start another topic along those lines (can't really make "@mods" a sticky!!) & also expand a bit more on converting lucid dreams to projections, then I'll fix it at the top, next time I'm logged in,

kind regards,
Mark

ps - Leo volont, maybe you'll have to cut & paste your excellent reply into the new sticky, it would be a bit of a waste to let it drop down the pack !
cheers
