Higher-self technique

[Tiny]

I believe the higher self is simply a projection of oneself - the original instance of the self of which a copy (that you are right now) is projected down into the incarnated human physical body at birth. So there's you and then there's the astral you. I believe the higher self is multiple times more intelligent than the birth copy and it would be stupid to disregard it's offerings.

I found that when I ask my higher self for projection, things seem to start to happen, when otherwise they wouldn't. For example, very high vibrational energies would start entering my body that I simply can not induce by myself or - my physical body will start to go to sleep at a time of day when I'm not tired at all - so if one allows it, the higher self will manage all the processes necessary to project and one doesn't even need to do anything other than lie there and remain as inactive as possible but should one start to interfer with the process using the physical conscious mind then the process will be interrupted.

I recommend you try it. Simply lay there and voice in your mind "higher self, guide me to astral projection!" and open yourself up to it's guidance. Then things will start to happen.

I tried that about a month ago.  I used as strong of an intention as I could instead of words but either that night or the next day, can't remember, I spontaneously had a pretty cool experience.  I've tried the same thing again but got nothing.

dear jarrod,

receptivity is important.

When you ask for guidance you need to be able to accept what is happening to you.

When "nothing" happens to you, then there must be some kind of a blockage.

I can agree with this. Intuition is another easy thing that keeps you connected. The better you get at feeling and understanding your intuition, the more your higher-self will be with you and influencing you in all aspects of your life.

a blockage hu...That may be.  I went back and looked at my diary.  Three days after I asked my higher self for help I had an awesome spontaneous projection and then another the next day and a close call with intense sensations the next.  Then a period without much activity and about a week later I started doing awareness targeting to try to develop my energy body.  Perhaps l had a blockage like you said and my higher self actually led me to start doing that to clear the blockage.

I completely agree with you, I actually have tried to ask for guidance on what seems everyday obstacles and in my perception have had really good results.

Hmm.  This is an interesting thought.  Though I'm open to the idea, I can't really say that I believe in higher-selves or guides or guardian angels or anything like that, but I did have an interesting experience once.  I had been reading up on lucid dreams and really wanted to have one, and I had read somewhere that doing reality checks all day long was a good technique to accomplish this (I simply don't have the discipline for doing RC's all day long).  One of the RC's I read about was to hold your nose closed and try to breathe in.  If you can, you know you are dreaming.  So as I was going to sleep that night, I tried to set my intention to recognize that I was dreaming after I fell asleep and I specifically asked (out loud, if I remember correctly) for my higher-self or any benign beings that wished assist to help me to have a lucid dream that night.  Well, that night, I was sleeping and dreaming a normal dream about something or other and out of nowhere, in the dream, an unfamiliar figure walked into the scene, grabbed his nose and tried to breath through it, which of course, immediately reminded me to do it myself and lo and behold - I had a lucid dream that night. I suppose that could could be considered a higher-self type contact.
