What are the benefits of AP an OOBE

[Astralzombie]

I recently made the mistake of telling my brother-in-law that I intentionally have OOBE. He is a closed minded skeptic but more than that, he is too lazy to put in the work. He asked me what all have I seen and learned from developing this ability, not out of curiosity but more out of a desire to laugh at a nut.

I was not able to convey the importance and greatness of this ability since he had a mocking attitude and besides, he wasn't worth the frustration of having to answer a thousand questions.

So, I decided to take the time and lay it all out so that I may be properly prepared to put a scoffer in his place. However, many new members of the Pulse ask similar questions and it is for them that makes me want to take the time and answer this as I have come to see it.

I have no new information here and it will be most familiar to all of the experienced members but that is where the beauty of this can be realized. Since AP and OOBE are so subjective in nature, I find it to be a validation in it's own right when so many people have come to draw the same conclusions. In the interests of clarity, I will only call it AP instead of switching back and forth with OOBE as well.

One fantastic side effect of AP is that many people often times have an "awakening" of psychic abilities. There are far too many so I can't list them all but here's some of the most common abilities that people have reported to suddenly have or to become aware of in their lives.

*Precognition- This is when you have a "vision" of some future event. It is usually seen in the mind's eye.

*Premonitions- This is very similar to precognition but the key difference is that someone just knows or has a strong feeling that something is going to occur rather than "seeing" it.

*Clairvoyance- The ability to see something that is not there. This can be seen with either the eye or in the mind.

*Remote Viewing- This is the ability to see something in real-time but is not within physical eyesight.

*Reading Aura's- This is a skill that allows someone to read the energy fields that are radiating from people, animals or objects.

*Healing- This may be one of the most valued psychic ability and benefit of AP. Someone with this gift can detect unknown illnesses or disease through psychic means.

Feel free to expand this list or on the definitions of the psychic abilities .

Besides a psychic awakening, most people report a greater sense of just "knowing". This sense can only be derived from personal experience. Otherwise, no one can be completely sure of anything. I've never seen the great pyramids of Egypt but I really do believe that they are there since so many people have reported this to be true. However, I do know that there is a moon in the sky tonight because I just personally saw it. There is a belief for everything so where's the harm in just "knowing" something is true for you?

AP usually leads to a heightened sense of awareness as well. Our non-physical explorations have taught us to pay attention to even the smallest details and this carries over to our waking lives. In addition to that, most report that they have an increase in intelligence. There are no shared conclusions as to why this would be true but many feel that AP helps us to tap in to parts of our brains that were previously underused.

All the techniques and methods of AP require us to increase our visualization skills which is another way of saying that we have to have an active imagination to envision non-physical scenarios which help us lose our attention of this physical reality. If necessity is the mother of invention than an active imagination is it's father.

Many people have a fear of AP for many different reasons but the irony of this is that fear is one of the first things that is diminished after developing this ability. The fear of death loses it's grip on most people who AP because they come to know for themselves that consciousness is not generated from the body. The logical conclusion to this is that a body isn't necessary in order to exist. People who are concerned about losing their religious beliefs shouldn't be. Over half of those who have projected report that their beliefs have been reaffirmed. Their fear of not wanting to anger something that is superior transforms into a desire to please. Those who can't go back to their old beliefs find that this isn't a problem since it is their own personal experience that has told them to change and hold on to no guilt for doing so.

AP almost always leads to a feeling of being connected to the universe/God/Source and an increased respect for life. Life is about having experiences so that we may develop as a consciousness and we see the value in allowing all life to have it's own experience. From this arises a deeper sense of responsibility and personal accountability.

Let's not forget about the fun! AP allows us to go to far away places both here and out of this universe. We see all kinds of beautiful settings and meet the most amazing beings. You can experience what it is like to be a tiger or to fly thru the air like a bird with or without wings. There really is no limit to the possibilities.

AP can't be proven real by science but their skepticism can be erased after a single projection but take your time before deciding for yourself whether or not any of this is objectively real. Either way, you will come to know that you are better off for having developed this amazing ability.

Thank you so much for sharing the detailed knowledge and benefits of AP. You actually deserve to be a moderator.

When you said you can have psychic abilities, did you read it in a book or have you known people to have developed psychic abilities. 

[enlightnd]

Well. I think you covered it mate

I can tell by own experience, that this is a fact. The reason for it are the relaxation techniques, during which one attempts to make an obe. Moat people try during these attempts to perceive something strange and unusual. They pay more attention to such things and learn unconsciously and consciously to experience such things again. Mostly are the first things viewing of colors or patterns (seeing of own aura) and controlled viewing of hypnagogic images (which can be used for telepathy and contact to hereafter). The more often one tries to get an obe and the more attention one pays to unusual things, the higher is the probability to learn unconsciusly supernatural skills.

I learned in this way many basic skills of supernatural abilites.

But it should also be mentioned, that out of body experiences are not necessary for learning supernatural skills. These skills can also be learned separately. I improved in this way my basic skills of supernatural abilites and learned aditional skills.

One thing that stands out is the ability to (most times) work out the result of something sensitive you may be asked to answer or do.
The bull in a china shop attitude is greatly reduced.
You become wise and more respectful.
Enemies are also something you don't seem to make too.

definitely. This may be the main benefit in my own eyes. Empathy to other people's internal problems are a massive benefit for growth.

Also I mentioned in a post recently the intuitiveness of laying plans and future decision making... seeing patterns internally and acting upon them.

Sometimes though the benefits are pointless to those who don't understand the 'whole'.

I personally have had more than a few experiences happen to me. They were uncontrolled and happen at random times but there is no other logical explanation for how I have come across the information that I received. I have not tried to develop any ability and I'm uncertain as to what to call them.

 We have always had these abilities, it's just now we are becoming AWARE of them.

In many cases you are "re-learning" what you once knew.

Once you can get all the "daily crap" out of your head and ALLOW yourself to just be, you will see what we are really capable of.

We are just touching the tip of the iceberg!

I'm nowhere near the point where I'd call myself experienced at AP. However, as a direct result of my "spiritual awakening" (or whatever you want to call it) some 9ish months ago, I'm simply happier. Knowing, or in my case believing (I hope to "know" this some day), that we are eternal, non-physical consciousnesses temporarily inhabiting physical bodies, makes it much easier to be truly happy in this life, in this incarnation. And after all, what's more important than being happy? I can't think of anything. Even if it turns out that I'm wrong, that we're wrong, that this physical world is all there is, that our consciousness is quashed when our physical bodies die, believing that is not the case will result in a deeper enjoyment of this short life. It's a win/win situation. Mind you, I used to be a complete skeptic just like OP's brother-in-law.

Neat story too - when I read "precognition" in the initial post, it made me think of something interesting that happened to me yesterday evening and this morning. I listen to Pandora all the time. My sexytime station is usually Maroon 5, and before I even put on the music yesterday evening, I started whistling a Maroon 5 song. When Pandora started playing, it was that song. I was shocked because my whistling was not done consciously, I just started doing it then made the connection when the song came on. Same exact thing happened this morning when I put on the techno station on my way to the gym. Whistling a Mord Fustang tune, Pandora comes on, BAM, that song starts playing. Pretty cool stuff

Knowing will come with time and more experience. Some people are afraid to acknowledge certain things to themselves as if doing so will cause them to suddenly become irrational thinkers prone to delusions who will never be taken serious again. They adhere to strict definitions so that nothing can penetrate their beliefs.

And as far as to what could be more important than being happy, IDK, you may be right but making others happy sounds important too.
