I'm looking for some feedback (I almost typed 'astral feedback', but that isn't funny)...
I have been ingesting LSD as a 'recreational sacrament' for a couple of years now, and always find myself more aware of non-material reality while under its influence. I have never yet attempted to project or utalize the NEW technique before, but I find that it is much easier to slip into my own personal meditations while in this state. I do not believe anything I think or experience while on LSD or like chemicals is completely fake or at all cheap, I just feel more instantly 'tuned in' to things that are actually 'there' during a trip.
A friend of mine once swore he could view the room clearly from behind closed eyelids during the peak of his experience. Neither of us had ever heard of this phenomenon before, but later found an explanation in "Astral Dynamics". Apparently this could have been a very real glimpse into the 'Real-Time Zone'.
Only I was told [didn't read it yet myself] by this friend that Robert Bruce discredits the use of psychedelic drugs in some way. So I am hoping to get your opinion on LSD, LSD's long and short-term affects on aspiring projecters, projecting or using the NEW system under the influence of psychedelics, any info you might have to arm me with....
Thanks

I think you have a good point. I've had a good friend who was always doing crazy things for the sake of a laugh. His name was Bob DuAime. He had a lot of ideas, and even more energy to boot.
...Then he started doing drugs.
Nitrous oxide was his chosen poison. But it must have been tough for him to find time to shove a balloon in his mouth while he was too busy consuming other drugs. LSD, pot, opium, vikodin, xanax, perkiset, and loads of the club drug ecstacy. I heard he even started SELLING drugs at one point. I swear to God that I even saw him trying to get crack cocaine once, and heroin another time.
His girlfrend left him. He got arrested. He lost his apartment. Now he just sits in his uncle's apartment all day. He even BELIEVES he can FLY lately. I'm not joking around. And it doen't seem like he's joking around either these days. And to think I kissed this man. Seriously.
Anyway, I guess the point I'm trying to make is, just because things seem to all be in good fun, doesn't mean you should parade around like you're invincable. Have a little consideration, before your life falls apart like Bob's did. I can't see any possibility of ANYBODY being his friend for 10 years.

Hello, fredhedd,
Although I am a new member on the Astral Pulse, I do know a LITTLE bit about OBE's (out of body experiences).
An Out of Body experience is very simple. VERY simple. It is when you LEAVE your physical body to have an experience somewhere else. Like over there or something. Some people have these randomly, like a NEAR DEATH experience (which you may have heard of). Only many people WORLDWIDE, like many of the users on this forum, choose to LEAVE their bodies at WILL. Sound crazy? It's a lot easier than you could have EVER anticipated.
One day while you're sitting on the couch, close your eyes and concentrate VERY hard. I will teach you what I believe to be the exact technique that all OBE projectors use. So, close your eyes and concentrate VERY VERY hard. Pretend you are falling into an ocean. You can feel the wind under you. NOW, just raise a lot of energy in your body. Everyone knows how to do this to some degree, just CONCENTRATE VERY hard.
Soon, you'll be flying through the Astral racetracks, meeting all of your dead relatives and feeling like you are together with the one TRUE god, Jesus Christ. You can go to outer space, or just across the room to read a playing card. Just concentrate VERY hard, I cannot stress that enough.
So, now that you know what an OBE is and how to project, HAVE FUN! If there is anything anybody wants to add that I may have forgotten, simply post a reply to help Fredheddd. Simply press the "Post New Reply" button, use your keyboard to type, and go crazy! See you in the Astral Planes, Fredhedd!

I appreciate the responses, it is helping to confirm what I thought was probably the case. I can definately see that introducing chemicals into the body will greatly interfere with energy work. I was just curious to see if anybody may have had any benefits combining energy excercises with psychedelics, but I suppose that is like an oxymoron. I again should mention I have not yet started trying these energy raising or projection tecniques.

BUT (although not completely related)... in response to ralphm, I wanted to offer anybody who may be misinformed as to the chemical makeup of LSD a resource to clarify. Apparently, nobody has ever really been able to prove that there is anything in LSD besides LSD. There is an interesting article at http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_myth5.shtml
