OBE "Road To Hell"

[Greytraveller]

Hello Everyone.
I have been fortunate to experience several adventures (or misadventures) out of body during the past 2 weeks. One by one I'll get around to posting all of them here. This is the first of those, titled,

"Road To Hell"

Friday, March 18, 2011 (OBE # 102)
   I came to astral awareness while driving along a desolate road along with my girlfriend (Barbara?). This was out in the middle of a barren land of steep hills and few trees. We were completely lost. We did have a map of the local area but had not been able to locate any landmarks.
   At one point the road went down to the bottom of a steep canyon. The landscape appeared to be the same in all directions. This was depressing as it seemed unlikely that we would be able to find a way out. We kept going and about a mile away near a hill top there was a fork in the road. It was a relief to see 2 prominent locations that were both depicted on the map.
   One landmark was a satanist church and compound which was only a few hundred yards away. A sign pointed to the other landmark - a magickal castle or estate that was about a mile distant. We decided to go to the magickal castle/estate. However, I took a right turn at the intersection instead of going left. The right turn took us into the back entrance of the satanist compound.
   This did not much concern me and I stopped at the first building in sight, a small one floor ranch-type house. We got out of the car and went inside. Nobody was there. Nobody was visible anyway.
   After a few minutes invisible spirits slowly materialized floating in midair. These spirits were, surprisingly, neither evil nor malevolent. They simply looked at us and I soon made a type of telepathic contact with them. They affirmed that the house was indeed part of the satanist compound. The church members were all human as fortunately there were no demons or hostile creatures nearby.
   We decided to wait for a doctor or professor to arrive. This was a bit confusing as I was unsure if this person was familiar to my girlfriend or if he was a member of the satanist church. (Maybe he was a doctor of theology = reverend?) Anyway the better part of an hour passed uneventfully. It began to get dark outside. We decided to wait one more hour before leaving. At this point the projection simply ended.
   Notes. Time was between 10:00 and 11:30 AM. The duration was at least 60 minutes, most probably longer. OBE # 102 the location was a BST. There was a familiar discarnate - my girlfriend. There were several unfamiliar discarnate spirits. Confusion (as to the location),  Deliberate (passive),  Emotional,  Magick,  Teleportation,  Time change (+).  Meditation (before),  Paranayama (before),  Affirmations (before), (and maybe a dream turning into an OBE.) Also practiced rope cargo net before sleep.
   Note 2. The beginning of the experience might have been a dream, I'm not sure.  Lucidity and consciousness in general were weak throughout. My outlook was mostly 'go with the flow' to see where the experience was headed. So I was reluctant to try to exert much conscious control as this might have abruptly ended the projection.

Any comments, questions or suggestions are welcome and Thanx for reading.

Cool experience.  I don't know much about Satanism, but I've had people tell me that it is a misconception to see it as evil. To my knowledge it is a system of magick which focuses on personal power and autonomy. I wonder if you visited a gathering point in a BST? If symbolic, maybe the dream is dealing with ideas of duality?

LaVeyan Satanism seems to be less about devil worship and more about self-indulgence, satisfying one's animal instincts, etc. With this in mind, I'm not surprised you didn't encounter much negative energy at the satanist church.

It's interesting that your other option was a magical castle, an archetype based in the spirit world/fantasy. This is completely opposite to the beliefs of a satanist church which are far more oriented to physical world endeavors than most other religions.

It seems when you started becoming restless you were presented with two options... pursue the instant gratification of your physical desires or work a little harder/wait a little longer for that spiritual payoff. You wanted that spiritual payoff but for whatever reason you went with the instant gratification. I'm curious, what prompted you to change your mind?

Anyway, great experience.

I don't know much about Satanism either. I believe that you are right, that it was some type of gathering place in a BST. I would also hazard to say that the place was also a power center as I could feel some strong energy there.

There was no conscious choice of going into the Satanist compound so far as I am aware. Actually I drove past the front entrance of the compound to get to the road intersection. Maybe there was an unconscious desire or pressure to go right and not left there. Maybe, but maybe not.
