The observer

[holygift33]

Let me share what I presumed to be my first and only OOBE experience so far. It was Feb 18th at 4:30am. I wanna share this so you can comment and eventually mention similar experience. Guide me through relevant post from this form. Please excuse me in advance if this post is somewhat redundant with others.

First I have to say that I never read previously any of the literature affiliated with the subject. I consider myself somewhat unbiased. Since then, I learn a lot from reading, especially from Monroe and others but here is the raw experience

So it all started with this sleep paralysis thing, unable to move thing in the night. The experience was really vivid and life had never seemed SO real than at this moment. I felt very conscious of everything that was happening. There were 3 different sequences but very strangely, I cannot say in which order they occurred, I guess the first I described here though, because I "woke up" at the end of it:
The first one was characterized as if I was entering in a very strong flow of vibration, at the level of the head, hands (very strong feeling in the hands), knees and feet. It seemed like I was crossing a door, or like I was entering an ocean of boiling oil, but without the pain feeling. I wanted to shake the hand of my wife in order to wake her up but was unable to do so. Unable to move. And I found it so silly because she was sleeping next to me, snoring, and I found it stupid that she couldn't witness this weird event. I then clearly felt myself, the head and the top of the torso, leaving my body, slowly but gently.My heart was pounding, I thought it was going to explode out of my chest.  I realized that I had to stay in my body otherwise I took the risk never to see my daughters and wife again. I was able to control the vibrations, to tune them down, and slowly move back in the body. The heart rate went down and I was able to move and sit on the bed.

The second one was characterized by me being the observer and the one being observed. Let me explain : I was seing myself getting of my body. My eyes (I don't know which eyes). I was seeing myself, as a kind of "transparent shadow" composed of multiple little lights, tiny glowing stars, forming the shape of my body, that was getting out of my body. The view was lateral.

The last and the most "dramatic" was me as an observer, but now, I was seeing the same body (mine?, I guess so) but this time from the back. It was transparent, in the dark and still composed with those little lights, except that this time, I was able to see a glowing globe, 1cm of diameter and red colored,  that was pulsating very slowly (like twice every three second or something). I identified this in restrospect as the third eye (I haven't heard of this before reading about the subject afterwards)

Anyway, that was the most transcendental experience of my life

I must add that when I carefully analyse my life in retrospect, I happened to have as a teenager some weird experiences that I disregarded at the time such as been struck by the infinity of the universe (at the verge of becoming obsessed and unsane about it), and having some vivid dreams.
Recently, these obsessions with views of the universe came back again.

Since this recent OOBE I feel surges of energy flowing in my body, just like when having an orgasm, especially from the back to the tip of the head.I have read a lot since then and I feel it has something to do with kundalini and or chakra activation.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks for reading me!

That could have been a very emotive description of one of my first OOBEs.

Awesome description of Sleep Paralysis there.

Hi Jerome, it's nice to see you here and with some experience too. Well put and what you experienced is normal in the early stages.
I hope you wish to persue this art so you can attain the same feelings with more control.

Bedeekin has a lot of info on sleep paralysis thats definately worth reading.

 Hello and Welcome to the World of Astral Travel and the Astral Pulse! 

After we have had one of these experiences consciously aware, we look back at our past and many strange things that happened while we slept and see that now they finally make sense.

We have been leaving our body every night, but only a few times in the past have some of us actually become aware as we were leaving it or as we were returning back into it.

Once you do become aware and actually put this into conscious practice, you learn that you can shift at will.

Thank you all for your warm welcome!

I am still puzzled by this "observer" thing, meaning not the bi-location, but the tri-location of this experience. I don't know if I use the right words, but it seemed to be 1) my conciousness which was observring 2) my "astral" body (for lack of better explanation) which was leaving 3) my physical body. All of them were located in different spots.
Are you familiar with such kind of event?

[Szaxx]

Yes, some have been asleep in the physical, inside a house doing whatever and flying around outside the house simultaneously.
This takes great control and the ability to multitask is put into a multidimensional meaning.
Normally a beginner will not be able to achieve this in a controlled manner but actually experiencing it in a somewhat observational manner is a strong pointer to what the individual is capable of.
Many years of learning would be required in lieu of this. There is always an exeption to the generality of this trend.
Some people are naturally artistic and others have no way of drawing a simple bowl of fruit.
Each to their inherent abilities.

There will be times that you are worried about your safety during an OOBE because it feels so physical yet you're aware that your body is safely asleep. This needless worry can cause yet another split and then you become aware of a third reality that you're experiencing and then it's over from all the worrying.

I personally have not gained any insight or benefit from experiencing so many different realities at once but I know there has to be, probably the greatest of all. I am aware of what others say about it but I am not advanced enough to glean the benefits yet.

Maybe in another ten years.

Allright then i may need to train for another 10 years to give you some advances in my work 
Anyway, thanks for you responses! I will notify in any changes in my course

You never know. There are more than a few people here that have been projecting a just third of the time that I have yet they are far more advanced in respect to their spiritual growth and astral/NPR awareness.

It all depends on how serious you are and whether or not your willing to accept and explore somethings that contradict  mainstream belief and culture.

Good luck.
