It took me many years to come to grips with this and accept it. It meant throwing out old belief systems that I was conditioned to believe in from birth and start over. I am much happier today than I used to be and feel as though I have been liberated. That's why I am on here posting every day, I want to help people (including myself) better understand the universe around us. 

Well I applaud you, that's good of you. I can imagine it is very hard to 'start over'. It's just coming to terms with it all when we have friends, family, work, responsibilities etc. we do have to get by in this world. I don't particularly want to try to explain all of this to my friends and family as I don't don't fully understand it yet myself, and many of them would probably think I was crazy. So I supose I, personally find it hard to juggle the two worlds so to speak, hmmmm i'm not sure what i'm trying to say here lol. I guess i'm just not ready for the change yet, small steps i think.  :?

Hi Rene, i'm certainly no expert but i'm sure pyramids have some kind of esoteric significance, I recently heard some Coast to Coast am interview on youtube with David Wilcock & Graham Hancock they both touch briefly upon pyramid symbolism, im sure if you have a look you're bound to find something. Although in dream it might have a totally different meaning. Online dream dictionary might be useful too. like I said I'm no expert lol but I hope I helped. Have we got any dream experts in the house? lol interesting post though!

According to all of the leading experts on AP, Buddhism, etc we are all connected and have access to all knowledge. This is a belief system and if you chose to accept it then yes it's possible.

Personally I believe it's possible as evidence suggests. I seems that a huge percentage of humans have a twisted view of reality in that perceive that they are a separate being observing the universe around them when in reality they are the universe experiencing humanity in a very localized manner.

Think about it.
 

Very good point dbmathis, I think about that sometimes, then I tend to forget. We end up asking questions like 'do you think I can do this or that?' When put like that though, we can do anything if we are everything.
We have to forgive ourselves though it's our conditioning that makes us think we have limitations.

We're FREE beings in every sense of the word. Even if the word is physical-oriented lol

I remember hearing a while ago that you could for example, practice the piano (if you're a musician) for hours and hours in the astral and you will have accelerated your learning here in the physical. I suppose you could apply that to other things too.

Not sure how true this mind i only remember hearing about it ages ago. Be worth investigating though!

I second that! I did exactly that, Monroe's gateway experience is great i'm half way through. Its well worth downloading Panth. Very enlightening stuff. :-D

 Hey there Panth, good topic it covers what ALOT of people feel and go through. It is hard, I've been trying for roughly a year and a half and I KNOW it can p!ss you off when you dedicate yourself for so long and get nothing in return.

I believe it's a learning process and some learn quicker than others, its taking me forever it seems and I try every night! Sometimes I feel the same as you, just get tired of it but when I hear or read about other people's experiences it makes me think of how amazing it'll be when I can do it.

As for the dream I'd say it's a clear indication that you're almost ready. I had my first flying dream a couple months ago and it was great, to me that felt linked to my AP practice and gave me the determination to keep at it and since then I, personally think I've been getting closer every night and it made me realise there is no rush, we're ready when we're ready. Just let it happen.  

Good luck to ya anyway and keep us posted.  :wink:

Hey there, i'm at the same point as you and have been trying myself, for about a year and a half. I sometimes find that when the vibrations are strongest my physical arms seem to lift up a little bit and I don't notice because my body is numb. Sometimes even my whole body would lift slighty, obviously your body can't be totally relaxed.

I found this hindered the vibrations from advancing for myself, I just had to realise when I was doing it and relax my body again and regain my focus.

Hope this helps matey!

Right I understand, thanks for that. Sounds like sound advice, I don't think i'll be falling asleep straight after it although i've heard of people just 'blacking out' so to speak. I assume that's something to do with lack of energy or something.

I read William Buhlman's book and he talked about how he would almost demand "clarity" and energy, perhaps that could be a good technique to use in order to become more aware and therefore less likely to forget? I'm ofcourse just assuming, practice and all that i suppose!  :-D

Cheers for the reply David, all of you 'It only took me a week' lot are starting to make me jealous! lol The funny thing is i'm quite a skilled person i suppose, I'm a joiner, plumber, kitchen fitter, welder, musician. Well perhaps physically skilled but i suppose all that goes out the window eh? literally in some cases lol

And about it changing your life forever, that has been affecting me. When i've been getting just to that point where i think i can leave my body, suddenly i'll stop and think to myself just how great a step this really is and how this will change and affect my life.

It is a big step, i'm not saying i don't want it to happen,far from it. I think it's just that fear barrier again you know, the unknown. How WILL this affect me? The person i've been and known for the last 22 years, like you say i guess that's the conditioning.

Hey there everyone i'm new to the forum but not to OOBE's, or atleast the practice of as i've not yet had a conscious OOBE, although i've been trying for well over a year with no such luck except for a few bizarre experiences whilst meditating or trying to project in which the feelings have been too intense and I gave in to the fear. But i'm not really worried about the fact I haven't projected yet or haven't passed the fear barrier as over the last few months i've been practicing nightly and am slowly but surely 'getting there' each night will be a step further than the previous night I know i'm very close and it seems to be working well for me. It's quite strange really over these last few months I have noticed a 'knowing' for example I just 'know' that i'm not quite ready yet but soon will be, it's like I can feel it.

Wondering if anyone else has had that kind of feeling too, and also wouldn't mind hearing other people's experiences/feelings leading up to your first OOBE or projection.

I would also like to mention that since i've been practicing nightly and getting into a trance state experiencing different thoughts/feelings/emotions/perceptions i've noticed sometimes when i wake up in the morning i can't always remember the ins and outs of what happened the night before and am a bit worried when I finally do have an OOBE that I won't remember all or any of it. Has anyone any experience with forgetting like this and what can you do to remember or will it simply be too amazing an experience to forget?  :-D hopefully the latter lol

I smoke cannibas now and again and have found that when i'm attempting to have an OOBE the vibrations and feelings associated are enhanced, it's perhaps a little more worrying than usual but i've had some of my best experiences when i've been on cannibas to be honest. I haven't yet had a concious OOBE and i've been trying for roughly a year and a half now, seems like a while i know but i'm very close, i know it's real and it'll happen when i'm ready. I'm new here and have a few questions of my own but i'll post them elsewhere, see ya's!
