Who can help a newcomer?

Hi, im new to this whole entirety of a subject and am in look for somebody who can tell me everything i need to know. No, i do not have money for a book right now. i need some kind soul to share a bit of knowledge about the astral. I have been dotoxing fluoride from my diet using MSM supplements and believe my vibrations are increasing. But before i just go diving into the astral planes i need to know first things like how i can protect myself and my family from negative energies, in and out of the astral. How to raise my vibrations in the astral to reach more positive places. ect. Im young so please understand if i am uneducated, but i want to be connected to God, and his loving angels. I need protection there if i want to explore this uncharted territory. Spread everything i need to know. things i could avoid, things i need to know. you get the riff. Link me up astral pulse; fill me with knowledge. Also ive been hearing this new age spirit guide trend could be negative. possibly people trying to deceive young astral souls astray. lots of thoughts. i only seek the truth.

Also ive been hearing this new age spirit guide trend could be negative.

spirit guides or helpers are NOT new age and what is new age anyway? anything we do not like we just term 'bad new age' then? trust in your intuition and talk to your guide(s) in waking state or before attempting to project (sleep) and you will learn to get to know them and to trust them because they will become alerted to your awakeing and 'be there' when you need it, oftentimes  they might remain invisible. judge a tree by its fruit and see what helpers bring positive results for you, if they don't then go alone but you might still have guides 'in the background' so to speak.

for protection use affirmations (also beforehand) if you need them (or prayer if you like), but normally the astral is not a 'place' as dangerous as many uninformed people seem to tell you, don't let them scare you off.

How should i know there are not fallen angels in the astral trying to deceive me astray? I should i know somebody claiming to be a guide isnt a fallen angel or an expert of projection leading me into some trap of sorcery? these are things that go through me. I want to explore an understand but at the same time i need to be assured of some things you know? do you understand my position?

[Lionheart]

 Wow, what is with all the fear scenario nonsense here lately? This site is full of people that AP all the time and are still here to talk about it. Right now we have a number of active threads going on the same topic, FEAR.
This is a video from Tom Campbell the part you want to watch starts at the !:00:00 mark and goes until 1:07:00. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRar8IOwic8&feature=BFa&list=PLEB923BB17E5849A3&lf=plpp_video

I doubt it's something you have to worry about. It doesn't sound like your very naive. I would say it's the people that don't question these things that end up with the most problems. Remember, AP should make your life better and make you more confident in yourself. Go into it with that positive attitude and you'll end up in the right place..

[Volgerle]

if you can't overcome your great fear, you should let it be.

seriously, because then you will 'attract' negative experiences, this is empirically proven by many projectors reporting it

still, you can e.g. work instead with your dreams where you can also get into touch with your guides and receive messages, if it makes you feel 'safer' (although dreams are mind projections too - like obes or ap are) because we are all accustomed to dreaming and remembering dreams, try to increase your capability of interpreting them

i also recommend dream programming which is possible, I have some experience with it, use affirmations to get e.g. a dream on a certain topic or to meet a guide or to get an answer to a problem, it is all possible

here's a good site by kurt leland on how to approach dream interpretation and performance (memory, etc.)

Alright im over the fear. I had an attempt at an OBE this morning and i honestly don't know the signs of certain phases of the process. I know there are vibrations because ive projected one time for a bout 2 seconds. I've read some of these book but honestly it really isnt descriptive enough.

First off, i prayed and relaxed before turning on my iso beats.
Then, after i turned them on i silenced the mind until i felt as if i was in a sleep paralysis feel. which i think is the phase i keep hearing in this online book. I felt like my arms were asleep ect. But thought the attempt i kept catching tension and re relaxing those muscles.
http://www.iso-tones.com/ThirdEye.mp3 is the tone i used. its 30 minutes and spends the first 10 minutes at a reasonable speed, then the next after that slowing, then the last 10 it speeds up to a really fast pulse. i spend the first 20 silencing the mind. trying to focusing on the beats / breathing. after the first 10 i felt some effects, and decided maybe the second 10 i was going to try an exit technique to trigger vibrations. i tried to wiggle, feel like my arm is moving up and down without moving any muscles. nothing. tried to levitate the astral body / rotate it ; in which i kiiinda felt swaying motions but i never triggered up any powerful vibrations. so then i spend the next 10 silencing the mind again. and the last 10 i tried again. this time during the last section i decided to command myself to open my astral eyes. and i think i just opened my actual ones. i was still in sleep paralysis i guess, my arms felt asleep. so. any type of constructive criticism? descriptive links i can look at.

 Congratulations, it looks like you are honing in on a technique that works for you. You will see that that online book/guide you are following is a great blueprint, but it doesn't do the actual work for you. Now is the time for you to apply your own individualism to your practice. Experiment, have fun with it.

Heres another CHECKUP. I just floated out. I think i had what was called astral blindness. I floated out and slide down the side of my bed, and slooshed onto the floor. I was having intense feelings all around in my body and i didnt really know what to think of it yet. I was very floaty. it was like my eyes were still closed though. maybe all i really needed to do was calm my heart for a moment, and ask myself for clarity. i read that somewhere. But, these intense chest feelings, and energy running up through me, i didnt know what to think. this is normal? Is this my mind suggesting these feels as a metaphor? Can i control them for something else? Or is this just indeed what Dimethyltryptamine is all about? the astrall~      -Badfish.

ANOTHER checkup. I felt like maybe ether i was dreaming or projecting. but i felt this tingly sensation in my abdominal area. like separation or something. I'm pretty sure but i can't tell. And the tingly sensation made it feel like it was hard to breath. and the more i let it grow the more it paralyzed my body? And i had to fight it to wake up back into my body. and like i had to wiggle my arms and legs because it was growing and sucking me in. and like i felt if i stopped breathing i would die? Is this just a dream? or is this an astral test of fear? Because my previous separation felt a bit like it where the tingling grows and then you start to spill out and be free. But im confused now.

[Magic_Love]

To question is not the same as to be in fear.

@badfish that sounds cool.

I had a weird experience during the night, I don't know if I dreamt it or if it was really happening. I had fallen a sleep a couple of times and enetered dream states and awoken just to fall a sleep again, but one time I was trying to detach myself from my body but couldn't it was as if I was half way out but stuck halfway down, I tried pulling myself out but couldn't. It was very weird...

I can second this. Its good advice. I have not yet achieved consciously induced AP's but in my dreams I have come to conclude that guides indeed is guiding me.

If you want to you can look up my dream thread where I interpret dreams in the Kurt leland way, beginning on page 4.
