Looking for some AP info for a "long time beginner"

[Unit38]

I'll start off by saying Hi, I'm Joe. Ive been very interested in this subject for many years now and had some mild results. I say "long time beginner" because it seems very easy for me to get into a state where I'm being pulled from my physical self, this has happened to me every time I begin to AP, I just never get as far as to have the actual experience and am able to wonder around (I really haven't tried to get that far). I seem to be able to achieve the noises (popping or even voices) and the vibrating feelings along with feeling like floating in my bed. I do plan on going farther in my experience I just need to know the state of mind I should be in when I reach that point other then saying to myself "damn this feels cool". Also do you notice your heart rate seem to climb when you feel yourself being pulled?

I am also very interested in the types of Spirits, Entities or Guides that I may encounter.
Here's another question I have about the Astral Plane, some people talk about when they project they roam there house or go outside, what about the places that you've never been to or seen before. I guess my question is some people seem to be in this fairytale land type of place and some seem to be at home or in space for that mater. Is it unlimited to the locations you travel to? Can you look back in time or travel into time?

Thanks for your help and the site looks great....

Also how to you feel after a successful projection? Tired like your spent or revived and so on??

Joe-
You may want to check out the Astral FAQ and Permanent Astral Topics sections. They are loaded with techniques, common sensations, experiences, etc.

As for sensations, I am in the minority in that I never get vibrations or noises or anything else. I just deeply relax and eventually I feel myself 'release' for lack of better words. Once that occurs, I simply roll into a walking position and step through the wall.

As for exiting the body and visiting your house, it sounds like you are describing an OBE and the ethereal plane (EP), which is also called the Real Time Zone (RTZ). The EP is not the same as the astral plane. And this is described in detail in several posts in the two forums I referenced above.

Good luck!

Thanks I will have to look.

Hi Joe,

There are a lot of people who never knew about the vibs, but got it anyways. When I was younger and knew nothing about this stuff, never heard about it, I had really strong vibs and left the body. Now a days with the Internet it does not take long before a person hears about the vibs even before they first project.

Anyhow, the state of mind you should be in as a beginner should be calm, no solving puzzles, etc. lol. As soon as you start using that old physical brain then for most people you'll be sucked back into the physical. Later on you can learn to use the physical brain, if you want, and remain out of body. Also, stay calm and do not get emotional.  There's nothing to fear. You WILL have invisible helpers watching over you. Any experiences you have will be for a purpose.

The heart rate in nearly everyone goes down during projection because the circulation and muscle tension really binds the astral body to the physical. It may seem like your heart is increasing, but this is your energy body currents and vibs. It is possible to get the heart rate going, but this would be highly uncommon.

At first you most likely will not encounter too many beings out of body. Most beginner projectors are in their own little space / reality. So there could be a party of deceased people right next to you and you would not even know it. You might fluctuate in and out and you could sense these deceased people as who knows what ... perhaps eggs lying on the floor, or even a bunch of pillows. Eventually you'll learn to sync into what ever reality you want, just not your own self created reality. That could be the Earths _present_ real time zone, or one of the infinite astral planes, and perhaps one day when you really get good the immense mental realms, which is higher in vibration than the astral.
Eventually you could meet people who are in a physical body, people who have died, who eventually becomes helpers, you could meet the angelic kingdom, and if you're really fortunate a real living Archangel. You'll find the universe has nearly unlimited life in the astral and beyond. Dogs, cats, all animals, to all the way to really really strange stuff. You can even travel to the bottoms of Earths ocean. When you achieve a state of being where you become responsible then you'll even be allowed to view real living physical life forms that present humanity knows nothing of. There are other beings on Earth right now besides Dolphins on Earth that are also part of the human kingdom that we don't yet know about that live at extreme depths in the ocean. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

You can to many places out of body. There are places on Earth that are guarded, but for the most part you can go just about anywhere on Earth and most of the moon. To be truthful, traveling to other solar systems, galaxies is most likely not real obe. Rather it would be a self created reality. Only the Soul can travel to such distances. You can travel to planets in our solar system, but it would be in the astral, not RTZ. To see the physical planet Mars would require Etheric travel, which is limited to the speed of light. If you were advanced then you could travel to mars in the astral and then lower your vibration big time, into the Etheric. Most people do not realize that even your physical body can be raised in vibration to even the mental planes, but it requires such a constant force that it's deciduous. I cannot do it, but it is possible. I have had teachers take my astral body into the mental realms, but the astral cannot remain there. As soon as the force is removed then the astral falls back into the astral planes. So, yes, you could even travel to another galaxy in your mental body or even Soul, then your Soul could easily lower its vibration to even the physical level it is so wished, but that's probably not going to happen anytime soon, but you never know. As you might know, you have a material body, etheric body, astral body, mental body, and beyond the mental body you have a Soul. Within the Soul is the Spirit.

So there are nearly infinite interesting places you could realistically go. You should know that you need to be responsible. You just can't go around peeking in other peoples homes, having astral sex all the time. Sure, if you want lucid dreams, then that's fine, but the real astral has laws also. Just be responsible otherwise you'll find it quite difficult to project anywhere. Projection is a gift given to you by your Soul and helpers.

Yes, you can travel back in time, but to be accurate you need to learn to not create your own self-reality. I believe Jerry Gross gave an average time of about 5 years of good projecting. Traveling in the future is also possible, but this is projecting into probabilities. I do not know of anyway testing this theory, but it seems these future realities do exist and do contain real living Souls, but there are countless future possibilities from what I've been able to ascertain. Who knows.
