yeah that sounded like a excellent 1 ...

I enjoyed the fact you bring to attention that  you have to be in control of your imagination to experience the real time zone  as a perfect reflection of whats happening in the physical while out of body and awake . Its quite easy when your not aware enough, but know your having some kind of OBE to let the imagination create things .

Well in my experiences anyways, i m still at the stage of weighing up the differences and learning to control my imaginative side when i get out that is. My last experience was probably the best re-call i v had yet , that i posted on these boards.

enjoyed the read  ; )

My contribution to the RTZ thread.  Posted this in the Experiences forum earlier today, and am posting it here again at MajorTom's suggestion.

Ahhh it feels good to be back here posting on the AP forums. Why? Well last night I had my first full OBE in quite a while. It was actually two separate OBEs that were kind of combined into one, and....well here we go..

(Anything in italics is my internal dialog)

Out of nowhere I am jerked awake. I look around and try to figure out what is going on. Am I out of body? Oh wow I am!. I had had a spontaneous projection with no exit sensation whatsoever, and was now hovering above my bed. First thing I do is call out my friend's name. My goal is to end up in their house...pay them a visit via OBE. This doesn't work so I try a few more people...no luck. I decide to get away from my body and go outside. Boy this is hard I think as I struggle to move toward the window. It feels like I am moving through thick molasses, and keep getting pulled slowly back to my body. Finally, I am able to get to the window. I start to go through, but can't. Uh oh, I've heard of this happening to people before...their subconscious tells them they can't go through windows and doors, so they simply can't when out of body. I tell myself that I am in RTZ and I should be able to go through the windows just fine.

There we go, I start moving through. The window seems like a sheet of thin rubber, and stretches with me for about 10 feet as I move away from it toward the street. Pop, I am free from the stretchy window. (From here on the OBE is kind of fragmented, and it is hard to recall exactly what happened) The first thing I notice is that my truck is not parked out front. Well it hasn't been there long enough to leave a RTZ imprint you dummy. I look at the lot across from my house. There is a house under construction there. (In the physical it is an empty lot). I look to the right, and there is an empty lot (there is a house there in the physical). Hmmm, it seems as though I have gone forward and back in time all at once?!

I soon find myself in a back yard. I am floating into the air...feel like I am on the moon. Gravity is present, but it is weak. I strive to view the city from this height, but slowly am forced back down to the ground. I bounce back up, only to see a little of the beautiful clouds and city before I am forced back down. (At this point I randomly thought about my physical body..) Uh oh, I can't think about that...don't want to be forced back into it. I try to distract myself, but it is unbearable. My physical body is calling me. I am now laying in bed, vaguely awake and looking around, pondering the experience.

That is part one, of my experience. A few seconds later, the following happens:

Suddenly, I find myself rolling over in bed, but am I really rolling over? No, I am out of body and am rolling around on my bed. Gah!! Everything turns a bright, blinding white. I can barely make out the source of the light..some sort of entity...a ball of extremely white energy and light. The entity has a neutral feel to it...it isn't angry, or happy, or anything else really. I ask it (by thinking) if it can help me with my problem. (My problem with depression and whatnot) It does nothing, but I feel that the entity might be getting a little angry. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be ignorant The light gets brighter, and begins to pulse. I feel every pulse, everything is pulse, there is nothing in the universe that is not his pulse. The pulsing is powerful and invades every aspect of my mind and body...throb, throb, throb. The entity is getting angrier, he doesn't like me at all. Ahhh! what is going on?! I don't like this, why, why?! I cannot describe what I am feeling here...just that it is a mixture of extreme fear, anger, and hatred, and fascination. The pulsing continues and I feel a very sharp pain in my abdomen. Pulse, pulse, pulse, pain in abdomen, pulse, pulse, pulse, pain, pulse, pulse, pain, pulse, pain. This is getting unbearable, and I suddenly have an idea. If I return to my physical body, this will all go away (or will it?). I think about my body, and return to it. I am very disoriented and looking around my room, and fall asleep within a few seconds.

That's it, that's my experience(s) last night. I would love to hear some commentary on the experience, as I found it very fascinating.

Peace

A very typical RTZ OBE from me:

Number 54 - 26 June 2004

A short time later, I became aware my astral body was moving around inside my physical one.  I remained passive, enjoying the sensation.  At one time, it felt like my astral stomach was rolling slowly round.  It's a very interesting sensation.  You need to 'relax' with it; otherwise you tense your physical body and lose it.  You also can't try and make the astral part do anything until you know you are totally astral.  So at first, you just lie there letting your body experience strange sensations and wait to see what will happen next.  It's this passivity that is key.

I knew my physical arms were above my head, bent, however I felt my astral arms were straight out above my head and wondered whether I could move them yet.  As I had this thought, my right astral arm moved, rising over my head.  I now knew I could get out.  I sat up.  I was very conscious and knew I wasn't dreaming.  I didn't want to disturb G while I was getting out and moving the bedclothes aside.  I even knew that my movements wouldn't be detected, I could have jumped up and down on him, and he wouldn't have noticed, but still, when I moved the bed covers to get out, it felt so real that I did it carefully just in case!

My plan was to walk up one side of the Close and down the other.  Not very ambitious, I know, but to me, a marvellous achievement.  It's something I've wanted to do for a while.

Once out of bed, I went to the window and through it.  I had no sight.  When I was outside, I lost my bearings and couldn't even sense where I was, even though I was still logically thinking I should be just outside the bedroom window.  This all happened in a nano-second and I was back in my physical body, but still aware.

I let my astral drift about (within the confines of my physical body) while I thought about my next move.  I decided that I'd go through the front door, as every time I've gone through the window, I've become lost.  I also determined I was going to be methodical and not get distracted, no matter what.

I got out of bed, again very carefully.  I stood at the side of the bed and thought I'd look at myself.  Then I realised my eyes were closed and I couldn't see.  Inwardly, I groaned.  Then I thought never-mind, go and do it by touch alone.  I moved around the bed, through the bedroom door to the hall.  I made my way towards the front door.  I felt for the radiator by the door and then for the umbrella stand and knew I should be able to feel the two walking sticks and an umbrella, which I duly did.  I also knew there was a 'grabber' in there, but I couldn't feel this.  Then I moved to the other side of the door.  I was starting to see now, in a sensing kind of vision.  I saw the circle of friends and the key hooks on the wall.  There were three sets of keys hung up, no car keys.  I contemplated taking a set so I'd be able to get back in, and then remembered I didn't need keys to go through doors!

I went through the front door and felt the temperature difference.  I was outside and could see.  I wasn't surprised by this, or even acknowledged it.  I saw the red tiles of our porch, the garden, the bushes, the pinks, and the big old tree.  I didn't see these things separately but as a whole 'picture'.  I moved forward a little to see the car.  The car wasn't there, but there was a bicycle facing the bedroom window.  I could only see the back half, sticking out of the big bush, the wheel between the pinks.  It was an oldish bike, black, but not too old, probably 50s/60s.

I knew this wasn't there in real life, however, I didn't let it bother me.  I moved forward again to get going and promptly got tangled with the old pine tree just outside the house.  I was moving the branches out of the way so I could go past, when I woke up.  It was 3.35pm.

I don't know why I awoke.  There was nothing 'sudden' or unexpected to jolt me, and my physical body was still wonderfully relaxed upon wakening.
