My latest projection...

[Aros]

This morning, I woke up on my stomach. It was around 4am. I lied there for a few moments enjoying that warm, blissful state of being awake mentally but totally relaxed. It didn't take long before the familiar vibrations began. Suddenly, I felt myself "loosening" my astral body using a see-saw fashion (head up, legs down, head down, legs up)...This was odd sense I've only projected out of my physical before using the roll-out technique or straight up to the ceiling (both while on my back).

I quickly popped out, and said "I explore the Astral Plane!" The rushing of speed (man, I love this part!) upwards as celestial objects, star clusters and galaxies rush by me is bliss by itself, but as usual my astral vision is like Mr. Magoo on a good day, so I state "clarity NOW!" and it improves somewhat. After a while (Time? What's that?), I want to explore something new. I hear myself say "I go to the moon!"

Suddenly, I stop and feel myself being sucked into a different direction. After a bit, I see what I believe is earth, the moon, and um, this is where it gets weird...The Death Star. I heard or sensed someone saying something to the effect of "yep, it's the death star." I take this to be what is called Reality Fluctuation? Imposing subconscious/symbology and dream theaters within the Astral? This is what I'm trying to learn more about.

One thing that was remarkable was when I commanded "clarity NOW!!" again to help improve my vision and the stars instantly glowed brighter and became more pronounced. That was probably the clearest I've ever seen out of body to-date. It had the effect of wearing sunglasses the whole time and finally removing them.

The voice...I'm trying to figure out who/what this is? I've been hearing narrators/voices on some of my journeys. Each time, I sense they are around me, and that they are along for the ride as either a guide of some sort or just a casual observer who doesn't mind to help out. I need to remember to try to talk to them/it/him/her to see if I can engage some sort of dialog.

Finally, I said "D'lea!" or "Take me to D'lea!" (or something to that effect. D'lea is my sister who was killed in a car accident in 1990 at the age of 25). Absolutely nothing happened. I expected, I don't know...Something...Movement...A new environment, but nothing. I finally gave up. I was disappointed because now that I'm becoming more forthright and mindful while out of body, I was hoping to see my sister. I know she would love to see me knowing I wasn't in the dream state but actually aware. Perhaps she was on a higher level of the Astral Plane which wasn't compatible with my current level of vibration...

Anyhow, thought I would share. The good news is that I am finally doing more than bumping around my bedroom and looking at myself in bed while I'm out of body. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions are extremely welcomed.

Cool experience man, realy cool, about the death star, if you are into the earth/alien thing, the orion empire have huge death stars which sole purpose is to destroy planets, so...I only heard this, dont know if its true or not, but interesting you saw that.

cheers.

I hope I can be of assistance here.

When you voice commands like "take me to the moon" or "clarity now," you generally know what to expect afterwards. You've seen the moon many times, including in pictures, and you know what it's like to take your sunglasses off. Expectation is powerful.

However, since your sister has passed on, you don't what to expect if you see her again (how she looks, what her condition is, etc.)! I completely understand, and since I've never really met with someone who's passed, I don't know what to expect either.

However, there were times when I wanted to do something and didn't know what to expect at all, and I did by use of some transitional aid. Portals are very useful, but there may be simpler aids. Spinning around in circles is often suggested as a way to hold lucidity, but it also blurs and melds the environment into something different. Lastly, I've found that simply turning around can be very efficient. Or "feeling and turning."

Under a year ago, I had an experience where I was talking to someone, and during a break in the conversation I wanted to summon a "real" person who may have also been sleeping. I knew that if they were sleeping, they would be "behind me" (where I currently was not looking). I summoned them by feeling as if they were behind me, and then turned around, and they were there, eventually turning around to look at me. It is unfortunate that I was never able to contact this person and verify the experience, even if it was a short one.

Anyways, I hope I've given you some ideas!

I second the cool experience!

The voice...I'm trying to figure out who/what this is? I've been hearing narrators/voices on some of my journeys.

I need to remember to try to talk to them/it/him/her to see if I can engage some sort of dialog.

You and me both..lol  I have a narrator that seems to follow me around as well.  I don't mind of course because he seems to speak when only necessary.  You know, now that I think about it....it never occured to me to even try and speak to him..hmmm..ponder, ponder, ponder..

Telos:  That makes alot of sense!   I've used the clarity now and it has never worked for me.  I think everyone just needs to find the right words that work best for them.

Thanks for sharing Aros, look forward to the next one.

Aros, thanks for relating your story for us.

I have a suggestion regarding contacting your sister.  Try and read some Bruce Moen; just his website should suffice.  He seems to be an expert in this field, and there's a story on his site which may help.  It is to do with using imagination to begin the conversation and then letting the "real" follow from there.

As for the "narrators" you guys are hearing, mightn't they be your higher selves, or parts of them?

However, since your sister has passed on, you don't what to expect if you see her again (how she looks, what her condition is, etc.)! I completely understand, and since I've never really met with someone who's passed, I don't know what to expect either.

This could definitely be the reason. Since my Astral Explorations (consciously at least) are new, I seem to resonate with things that are familiar to me in my daily life and I do things that I suppose I "expect" to do, such as "flying or soaring" and taking a trip through space, etc. A meeting with my sister (which I do know has happened in my dreams, but of course I wasn't consciously driving my experiences at those times) would require a bit more "work" on my part.

However, there were times when I wanted to do something and didn't know what to expect at all, and I did by use of some transitional aid. Portals are very useful, but there may be simpler aids. Spinning around in circles is often suggested as a way to hold lucidity, but it also blurs and melds the environment into something different. Lastly, I've found that simply turning around can be very efficient. Or "feeling and turning."

Great ideas. I need to try to remember these techniques. Although I am becoming more purposeful and focused in my AP's these days, there's still a part of the experience that seems like I'm on auto-pilot. Like my conditioning or expectations (subconscious?) are the true driver of my experiences.

I knew that if they were sleeping, they would be "behind me" (where I currently was not looking). I summoned them by feeling as if they were behind me, and then turned around, and they were there, eventually turning around to look at me. It is unfortunate that I was never able to contact this person and verify the experience, even if it was a short one.

This is one thing I want to work on. Although watching star clusters and galaxies fly by me is thrilling, I need to really learn how to be aware of my surroundings. When I stop moving, everything seems dark with maybe some elements of light or color or shape going on in the distance. "Clarity NOW!" finally worked for me the second time I tried it (during the same AP), but I sense it still isn't the "HOLY CRAP!" astral vision it could be that AP experts Robert Bruce, Monroe, et al have experienced. In due time I suppose.

My next AP, I need to work on changing my routine. Instead of flying "upwards into the heavens" I should try spinning around, or looking for doorways or portals to walk through and so on. Thanks for the great feedback and tips.

Now that sure is interesting! I assumed the death star reference was due to my being a HUGE Star Wars fan growing up, but I wouldn't rule anything out. Especially when it has to do with ETs.

Exactly. This voice seems to be there more as a presence in the vicinity then a partner next to me. Sort of like if I was in an empty movie theater in the front row, this person or voice would be somewhere in the middle or back of the theater. Ready to offer help or commentary when I need it, but is not doing anything to effect my experiences in any way.

I think the reason I don't consider speaking to the voice is because at the time, I think I think it's ME. Or a part of me. And it very well could be. Even so, I would like to strike up a conversation with it. It could prove to be very helpful I think.

Huwie...Thanks for the tip on the Bruce Moen website. I will definitely have to check that out!
