Theory why you & I are stuck in the body...

Yo dawgs,

as a kid i used to have the feeling i would fall backwards when lying in my bed.

Maybe the reason we adults dont astral-project anymore is because we get so entangled, so enrooted within our physical body and its parts that we are literally trapped in it.
I've tried so many mental techniques (Anything you can imagine incl. affirmations) for OBEs none of them worked.

I dont think you need to be physically entranced in order to OBE. In fact ive had OBEs randomly while being fully physically conscious. Now, I think loosening from the physical body is done by focusing on body parts until it feels like a copy of them is shaky or begin falling through or start hovering over them...
I once listened to some trippy-butt music ( http://www.roomp3.com/mp3-24552-Steve_Roach-Westwind_excerpt.html ) and i put my hands into my trouser pockets, then my energy hands were floating above my ribcage, that was a crazy feeling no imaging how it would be in a full body experience. Not all my OBEs have been so FREELY felt.




yours truthfully,

For the most part, yeah.
It's part of being raised materialistically.
We're taught as we're growing up that what you see is all there is to life.
