Don't give up

[Steel Hawk]

I became interested in OBE's in early 1993 at the age of 12. I tried off and on for over 10 years to have an OBE. I'll try not to bore you with the details, but I will say back then there wasn't nearly as much information on the subject.

When it finally happened my life changed, and has been changed ever since. I went from an obscure Christian sect to being a Buddhist, as well as an initiate of several mystical societies.

Instead of being frustrated with not being able to project, I'm now frustrated with being able to project! 

Seriously, I'm trying to go to sleep and I spontaniously pop out, multiple times, and I need to get some rest!!!


So, what I'm trying to say is... if you've tried and tried and tried, keep trying and never give up. It's real.

Steel,

Thanks for sharing this. Your perseverance sets example for newbies like me (unsuccessful yet) and inspires a lot.

ty, to be honest I kind of feel stupid for even posting this. I just remeber back in the day that I wanted it so bad, why? I don't know.

But what kept me going was just your everyday people on boards like this, they weren't pushing books or psychic readings. Essentially, they had nothing to gain except Internet bragging rights, why would they all be lying?

Then it came down to, well maybe they're just crazy or delusional. But I decided they seemed intelligent enough, and I wanted to experience whatever they were doing as well. I still remember my first time, scared out of my mind, I had thought a ghost had lifted my physical body in the air -- and that now I was hovering 10 feet in the air. I didn't expect it to be so real... I mean, it's as real as this is right now. I was expecting something like a dream state, so I freaked out and aborted it, only to find myself safely tucked under the covers.

I had never done any type of illegal drug before this happened, and never had used any prescription medicine (other than antibotics a few times in my life). I had no mental illnesses, although everyone in my family thinks I'm nuts when I tell them (Hey, I left my body! -- You were dreaming probably. Grrrr)

Don't get me wrong, I did give up a few times. But after I had a few months off I'd get serious again and keep trying. I think that's the important thing, you can give up, just don't give up for good and eventually you'll get there.
