So please make this a sticky somewhere at least. Thanks.

I ask that this be made a stick somewhere and when ever someon asks what does this or that mean or stand for just send them to that sticky. And add if necessary. Thanks.

AP - Astral Projection

ISP - Isolated Sleep Paralysis (not in conjunction with other symptoms of narcolepsy)

LD - Lucid Dream

NDE - Near Death Experience (usually refers to being near death and out of your physical body.)

NP - Non Physical

NPR - Non Physical Realms/Reality

NPMR - Non Physical Matter Reality

OBE or OOBE - Out of Body Experience

PMR - Physical Matter Reality

RL - Real life

RTZ - Real Time Zone

SP - Sleep Paralysis (see ISP)

RV - Remote Viewing

WILD - Wake Initiated Lucid Dream

WR - Wider Reality

Everyone add your own relevant abbreviations.

Keywords: Stands for means mean stand for what does

OK fine, would you rather me ask who has never astral projected here? LOL Or who are the only people that have astral projected for 3 years or more?LOL These are silly questions. I bet if Frank Kepple was still here all you guys would have been like "I vote for Frank." LOL

Or probably the better one to ask is: Who are the top astral projectors here?

I suppose you guys don't even want to do that.

Peace.

BTW you guys should make a little sticky about what things might stand for. I don't know how many things are abbreviated here but.

I know you guys probably don't like that question. And I understand the reasons why you would not like it. But ultimately things need to be categorized. So who would you vote the best astral projector? I don't know everyone were so I don't want to make a poll.

We have things like recall, powers, how deep/high/heavenly have you been in the spirit world, experience level, retrieval experience, astral knowledge, and more. So who would you vote for?

Thanks.

BTW lionheart Howards story did turn out to be a good positive story of love.

Peace.

   Lionheart I am very very well aware that most NDE's are positive experiences, and few of them end up in hell. And some that end up in hell came soon call out to God/light or whatever and go to the light.    For all the times I think of hell, I think of the light much more, and the positive much more. I am a open minded, and am not suck in fear based belief systems.  I am way past that. And I am well aware that most people that leave their bodies don't end up in hells, especially hells of great suffering.

But this still begs the question for APers and NDEers to reconcile IMO. I know Howards is kind of usual. Since he didn't end up in the real time zone right at death. Yet he was still duped into going into such an evil place. Just like how it might happen on earth. So I just want to try to reconcile this with you guys here and myself. I think the only way we can truly do that is if we can come to a real agreement or work out the differences. I am looking for a technical debate if we can do that.

Can you guys just acknowledge that there are dark hells were people can greatly suffer. If we can get past that, I think that would clear up a lot. If not we will have to go through the technicalities to help reconcile NDEs and APs.

Peace.

Did any of you actually watch the video? Or already know the details of his experience? Remember I don't care that he saw Jesus. I am not a christian. I just used Howard since he is a good example that I can think of right now for those that have died went to hell and came back. There have been quite a few others where Jesus was not involved.

I think  Mark Alexander said it best. " Many people have lives filled with pain, fear and despair.  They can lose touch with who they really are and can often identify with their bodies.  When those bodies die, many still keep that identification, or are caught up in all the fears and dramas of being human, and are thus drawn to realms that match their emotional and mental state."

So who were these negative entities. That is very very simple IMO. They were probably born in the ghetto, or a place of war, and grew up hardcore gang bangers or thugs of some sort. And then go to prison, but they keep on trying to derive pleasure from pain, and suffering on others.  Or perhaps they went totally crazy in prison. Perhaps they were a sociopath. And they degraded so so much in prison that their was no way that they could relate to normal happy people. Instead they turned evil on the inside. The outside could kind of cope but deep down all they wanted to to hurt others. BTW years and years ago there use to be extremely terrible people that use to live on earth. That use to torment their enemies the the worse ways imaginable. They use to make fun of you if you were the one suffering. They would laugh. Right now is one of the times of the least amount of violence according to Steven Pinker. And they were drawn to the lower realms after death, but the only way they can survive was to go to the surface for a little, and find some pray to keep their selfish ego, and desires going. Very few of them could actually do this. Out of the hundreds of them in that realm, maybe only 2-4 that made it to the real time zone where Howard was. And they might have smelled/sensed Howards fear and pain which acted as a guide to the real time zone. So they were drawn to him. And once Howard died, Howard was not prepared and didn't have the discernment to not be fooled by them. that was they they kept their distance from Howard since they didn't want Howard to see their nasty faces. Just like how some people that go to to another country and get robbed or even duped into prostitution, kidnapped, or some other really nasty thing, that they they like to pray on tourists for. Howard thought he was still in a hospital when he died, so he trusted them at first. Howard was the victim. Howard was deceived. How many of those that were already in such a terrible place might have been drawn there themselves out of their own will. Or terrible life here, I would guess. But it's a no brainier. If higher realms exist for pleasure and light then lower realms must exist for darkness and suffering. As the saying goes: "As above, so bellow." But you guys are terrible at reconciling anything beyond your own experience it seems. I doubt I am wrong since none of you will debate me probably. And if you don't seriously address these things, then I am thinking that you are just sweeping up things that you don't want to hear under the rug while only accepting your version of the afterlife. We have LOTS of NDE's where people do end up in a real hell realm. Whether it was created by the person or co-created by the person and others in the hell realm is of little difference to me. All I want you guys to do is seriously address these ideas. Otherwise IMO you are picking and choosing what you want reality to be like. I'm just asking you to look at all the evidence, use common sense, and lets talks about it in a serious matter.

Now I don't think that Howard created such an experience in the afterlife. Many of you and those that study NDEs will say that's impossible but certainly there are innocent people that suffer on earth, so why would the lower realms be any different? As Howard said he could have never had conceived of such a place. So just as people can get duped here on earth so can they get duped in the lower realms.

Peace.

Warning these are very advanced concepts and are not for newbies.

I am posing this here in order to get a little feedback. Since I still think a lot about why is it that APers have a hard time believing stories like Howards. The only things I want to address here is can a terrible death or a death that ripens our karma open up lower realms when we enter the afterlife? Certainly our very spirits are connected to our bodies. Eg molecules dramatically changing consciousness.

OK so recently I saw this interview and when I started talking to a friend I ended up getting into all kinds of stuff about opening up hells at the end of life. If any of you astral projectors have not heard of Howard Storms experience you should seriously check it out. I know Jesus is in it but that does not matter to me. I am not a christian, but am a universalist, I am not trying to convert anyone. I do strongly believe in AP in fact I have APed before when I was sick. So please check out Howards interview. He was a successful professor, artist, and stanch atheist, until he died.

[Edit: BTW I slightly modifed a few parts here.]

So these are some of the things I said and I want your opinion.

Me: "Let me say that I think it might be possible that when Howard died in the hospital, it was very very painful since stomach acid went into his body. So that acid would have done some damage to his spirit perhaps, and if it did, it would have ripened some karmic fruit. Meditators talk about ripening the friut of your karma, by fasting for instance. Psychedelics can ripen certain karmic energies. Earth is a good place to ripen your karmic friut since it's stable more here in the physical. But the astral IMO is not a good place to do that, especially if your in the lower reals, since you are not as well protected IMO. Here we have a lot of protections for someone like Howard. Except the if they keep him suffering for years at the end of life. So my thought is that he might have opened up the doors for the evil beings since he ripened some really bad karma. Can't say that for sure. But that's a real possibility. So for instance the way Howard described his NDE, he really really seemed like he was in the astral, more specially the real time zone when he first exited his body. And no astral projectors have ever talked about something like that. Though if they got too scarred they would instantly go back to their body. So we must be very careful at the time of death IMO. And if possible at the time of birth. They are some of the most delicate times for our spirits IMO. I've read about karmic birth trauma. Well IMO we can get karmic death trauma too. This is why we need to stop torturing people at the end of life, by needlessly keeping them alive. I have little doubt that many of those that suffer at the end of life, and open a hell realm realms on earth at the end life at death have a high risk of carrying that over into the afterlife. This is why Buddhists meditate at the time of death. In fact they practice death meditation in order to help them get a better birth at death. Or IMO go to a higher realm at death."

Friend: "It still doesn't really make sense that you could live your whole life building up good karma and if you die in a bad way then you may put yourself in a bad place without even knowing it. I know that is hypothetical but still possible in what your describing. Howard even said himself that where he was he would never wish upon anyone. So it seems that the only people who will have real control are people who can work out their karma before or right after they die. Basically that leaves the meditation religions and half of them don't even believe in the afterlife. I know we talked about this before but I'm still having trouble with this topic."

Me: "I think it's quite possible that when I die I will go directly into another body, IDK. And I think the most likely thing is that both are true. Both astral projection and reincarnation are possibilities at the end of life. I already know that AP true, but reincarnation is still a bit iffy. Though I know many traditional meditators believe that we reincarnate directly after we die. What if an OBE is really just another form of reincarnation? That is what I seem to remember the guys at astral pulse saying. I mean we have had materializations of people. Jesus being one of them. We have all heard of other materializations happening. Humans are obviously not advanced enough for it, so we have to rely on a fetus to come back to the physical and evolve. We can get liberated into the astral at death, or if we are stuck to our bodies, and certain biochemical processes happen. and our spirits are in the right condition, that might be the perfect condition that would allow us to directly go into another reincarnation. I am thinking it would be similar to remote viewing. In that your consciousness can leave it's body without astral projecting. It would have to be a very primitive form of remote viewing. So Oh my gosh. What if someone remote viewed into a fetus and stayed there. LOL My mind is crazy. But that allows be to think dynamically in overarching ideas. This is something I have not talked about much. Probably because NDE's and AP get the most attention in the west afterlife. I know I saw Eben talk with the Dali Lama, and others about his experience. Funny seeing Eben dressed up like he had a costume on, talking about his NDE to some Buddhists.   I remember talking about AP on a real formal Buddhist forum and they seemed like they didn't know what I was talking about. It's like they stay in the box, and don't know that one doesn't have to do Buddhist practices to AP.​ Or would be very skeptical."

Me: "Also another piece of anecdotal evidence about opening hell at the end of life is that APers hardly never go to hell realms, supposedly because they are very healthy. So why is it that in NDE's people go to hell more often? Simple, I already answered it. NDEers were likely sick, and got compromised bodies, and spirits, and thus making them vulnerable to opening hells. This is not rocket science, but common sense IMO. This is all coming together now. I also thought of something else to support this but I forgot it. If your feelings manifest in the afterlife then it's a no brainer that you could easily be vulnerable to hellish experiences. Since emotions and feelings definitely can have a directly effect on your experience in the astral. Not always, but if you open up a certain realms around death, then yes. I've been their I've lived it. Only I didn't leave my body. Well there was one time while I was schizophrenic I definitely felt like I did, leave my body. But I didn't fully leave my body though like Howard did. I swear it felt like I left and it felt like I even entered my body when it was done. It was a hellish experience that was of low consciousness. If you want I will tell you more. The only thing that keeps us from going crazy at hospitals and hospice centers is all the medication were givin. But IMO most of the time it's not enough to keep your dignity. At least a long time ago when you died, it was quick. LOL

The other thing that supports this idea is that the Buddha (Siddhārtha Gautama) said that a good person could go to a hell, and a bad person could go to the upper realms. But he said that it mostly depends on the karma. So if you had a lot of bad karma and you lived a good life you could go to hell. I think the most obvious thing is what state is your mind and whole BODY is in just before death.

Oh yeah this is what I was thinking of. I think a good way to tell might be if you compared traumatic deaths vs peaceful or relatively peaceful deaths. Most deaths are far from peaceful these days I am guessing. And from that you should be able to tell somewhat if there is some truth to this. From what I remember so far, this seems like it might be the case. Eben didn't die traumatically, perhaps since he was in a comma. Maybe that is not the best way to tell. I also think the age of the person might matter then too. I am more sure now more than ever, that this has some kind of real sway at the time of death. Also it might be that if you die from a heart attack, from a really bad heart attack that is painful that it would not matter as long as your relatively young with the rest of your body and nerves doing fine. Just as long at the rest of your body, and mind is relatively well. IMO it would make sense that if the whole body and especially nerves was in complete breakdown, with much suffering, and a lot of energy with it, that this would be the worst state to be in. So not only do you have the energy to make hells but you would also be manifesting not only a breakdown of your body, but your spirit with consciousness."

Me "BTW I remember reading of a women that said that she astral projected into people before. Thus similar to remote viewing into a fetus. I would imagine a fetus would be perfect for accepted a consciousness into it's body. It's tantalizing what is possible."

Thoughts please. BTW I want to know if these things have been thought of by you advanced AP'ers yet here?

Thanks, peace

Hey everyone I made a picture of Frank Kepples model of astral projector AKA phasing. Let me know what you think. I know it's not perfect but it will do. If you guys want to share it go ahead.



Peace.

Edit: I edited your link to include the 'img' tags so that people won't have to click the link to see the image. ~Xanth  

Edit: Again by david14433 I think this new one is better. BTW I added some tags in photobucket, so I hope it shows up.

What's wrong the picture uploader does not work here at astral pulse or something?

I made this nice picture of the Frank Kepple model but I can't post it on these forms. Please help.

OK so I have been wondering how one can go to other dimensions. All I have really heard is that you can go into a sun and go to higher dimensions. The Buddha said that once you die (I am sure it's not death as in how we know it) that you transition into another dimension, or something like that. Also I think Frank said that you have to really relax and give up all the things of a particular dimension to go high, or something like that. Can anyone add to or clarify what I have here? Thanks.

Peace.

What you have experienced may be Exploding head syndrome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_head_syndrome  Or at least something similar to it. I had exploding head syndrome two times a couple of years ago. It started when I started taking certain coenzymated vitamins. I heard and felt a very loud snap/explosion in the middle of my head justs before waking up. I was not practicing astral projection at the time. Considering you felt it in waves makes me think your more suited for astral projection than me and and those with EHS. Hope that helps.

Peace.

I personally believe this falls out of the medical science and more into physics since I'm certain an OBE is not any type of bodily function and more along the spiritual.

I must disagree since people sometimes have an OBE while under anesthesia for some medical procedure. So a physical molecule can at least play a big role in getting one to OBE.

Thanks all you guys for your responses.

I am looking to find someone who would have never believed astral projection in a million years (practically forever), yet later on they found that astral projection absolutely works and is for real. Is there anyone with a good testimony here they would like to share?

Thanks.

Thanks for that input. Helps me put a prospective on it.

 Wow I thought it was more effective but not that effective. That's mind blowing. I only tried phasing a little last night and I just know that it's got to work very well. I have tried other techniques but phasing just makes much more sense. Thanks for your input.

Wow, thanks a lot that really helps out. I think I will try to use some affirmations and maybe some other things to help build an intent to AP.

Hi all I was wondering what is your experience between phasing and other astral projection techniques? Is phasing much more easier to do than other techniques? What convinced me to try phasing is the
"The Frank Kepple Resource" at http://www.astralpulse.com/frankkepple.html
It just makes sense to me. It seems to me that phasing would work a better than some of the other AP techniques that I have tried in the past with minimal success. If you have any experience or thoughts on this I would love to hear it. Thanks.

When I say using intent for astral projection I mean using it for things like going inward and moving about. You know actually putting intent into action. Is it kinda like using desire or will? Thanks.

I hear quite a bit that you have to use intent for AP (astral projection) and other basic things. Is that easy to use or cultivate. Can it be exercised? Does it need to be exercised? Any thoughts on this would be great.

 Thanks all you. All this is very fascinating. Do you think if someone has a physical distraction like tinnitus (ringing in the ears) like I do. That tinnitus would hold them back from AP. Thanks.

I know this is off topic but how do you use consciousness only to project? Or what do you look for?
