Hey Cube, thanks for responding to everyone's posts! This must keep you busy!

I have a question.  I have projected about 3 times before (RT projection) but they were not willful.  Recently, when trying to project, after getting to a deep focus 10 (at least this is where I believe I am after reading descriptions on this phase) I have felt a VERY, VERY COLD sensation quickly rush up my right arm, almost taking my breath away.  The sensation then slowly pushed its way through my body, but was dissipating somewhat as it went.  This has happened on two occasions recently, once on from the left arm, and once from the right.  I have never seen coldness being a description of projection progression.  Is what I've described a part of this progression you mention?

Nice post Astralpwka, good luck with your attempts. Your progress seems to mirror mine somewhat.  I have been attempting conscious projection for about 8-9 months now.  From all the descriptions of focus levels, I feel I can reach focus 10 approx. 90% of the time and the beginnings of focus 12 rarely (which includes hypnogogic imagery and noises).  The images are not as prominant as the noises are (whacked stuff!)  Anyway....

The pushing of the mind to maintain awareness and meditation has been very rewarding in growth toward states of mind I've been unfamiliar with, and I'm sure there's more coming up in the future to learn and discover. Besides, eventually my defenses are going to eventually have to screw up and let me out of body.

Couldn't agree with you more. After 9 months of attempts, I have not consciously projected, but have had experiences that have changed my view of reality. The projection attempts I now make have become part of my spiritual unfoldment which is now the more important of the two. Something in the back of my head tells me to be patient because changes are around the corner (bet you haven't heard that before[:O]?!?!)and these practices will play a part (whatever that means!).
Again, good luck, your post has been an inspiration!

Concerning the question about things crawling on you, here is how I dealt with it, from my journal:

Thrusday, April 22, 2004
"I woke up buzzing.  New I was in state for projection.  Felt black, cloudy, furry beings clinging to my back, crawling all over me trying to keep me down (in my body?).  Freaked me out for a second, scared the crap out of me.  After about a 3 seconds of all-consuming fear, I gathered myself and attempted to gain control of my fears.  Though I was scared at first, I quickly relaxed and welcomed their presence.  I had the feeling they weren't too intelligent.  I wrapped myself around them and caringly loved them.  I think I was actually giving them what they desired.  They seemed to melt into me.  Maybe they went through me and left, I don't know.  Maybe they were my own fears being absorbed by me.  They're influence in keeping me down was gone.

I started to physically try to get out and felt resistance.  I knew I was in the right state so I tried to move my etheric arm mentally, but it didn't work.  So I tried to move my etheric arm physically and it worked!  I still felt resistance.  I let go of all resistive thought and floated out."

I have had only a couple other experiences with beings and this consuming fear thing, but I have always very quickly switched the feelings of fear to feelings of care and love towards the threat and this has ALWAYS neutralized any seemingly negative entity.

I believe in this method of projecting care and love to the point where if my life depended on it, I wouldn't project any emotion of aggressive, hate, etc.  Negativity is not to be battled, it is to be illuminated.  Illumination comes in the form of love and truth.  If the truth is hard to find, love will do it.  But the projection of love in times of threat and fear is an awesome challenge.
