I think I could be making progress, please give me your opinions.

So I've been reading Frank's post lately on Phasing, maybe ¼ of the way through so far.  I actually think I may have encountered some of the early signs of projections years ago before I knew what they were.

Anyway, I believe I got further last night then I ever have!  Years ago when I was completely relaxed I would get the point where I would see a stray light ball almost like a shooting star.  Then my eyes would try to follow it and that would be the end of it.  Also in those years I learned to get to a point where I can relax my whole body in 5 minutes or less without really trying too hard.  I guess that stayed with me as I can still do it now.

Now last night I was relaxed and had my eyes/attention focused upward (comfortable enough without straining).  I was trying (not very hard though) imagining a couple of power tools that I'm thinking of buying.

Then maybe after 10 minutes of this whamo I'm engulfed in all kinds of various colored fog, mists and energy!  I'm tried remaining calm but being the first time this happen my mind was like, where am I at, what is next, etc.

So I could feel fear creeping up a few times and I would remind myself that I couldn't be hurt and anything scary is brought on by me.  The colors continued to swirl and I swear it was in 3D but it really wasn't black because I was in the midst of colored fog/energy.  At one point I swear I saw hundreds of neon blue faces in agony.

So I tried to use intent (I think) calling for a guide and clarity, over and over but nothing seemed to happen.  I figure I excited myself right back to the physical.  I did however at one point (ever so briefly) feel a complete feeling of warm/peace/tranquility.

Then I started losing the color and back to 2D blackness.  I tried to calm down and when I thought it was becoming lighter and that I was going back I actually had opened my eyes looking at the ceiling and I was back in the physical.  I know I was in the physical because I tapped the floor, the wall and went and made a sandwich!   

Not sure how I opened my eyes, maybe I let my attention fall back down?

Anyway, I think that was a good small baby step as they would say.  Hopefully the next time I get to that point I would be more calm and get further.  I just wonder when I come out of the 3D color (blackness?) if I end up in the so called "Training Ground" that Frank spoke of and if so that is where you need to keep the lid on your emotions?

This whole experience was within a 20 minute period.

Would appreciate and comments, additions or advice to this exciting (almost) first trip!

Thanks!

Hey - I'm a beginner and reading through Franks's posts.

Post # 2028 has raised some concern for me.  I really don't want to go mental with this kind of stuff....

Maybe I'm not understanding it correctly, can someone comment on exerpt below?

------------------------------------------

All it takes is practice, practice and yet more practice. Also, the moment things get sticky I found it is far, far better to come back to Physical and start again rather than try and sweat it out.

Because it normally takes beginners ages to project each time, the tendency is to try and hang on to the projection for as long as possible. But I found that the main aspect of projection, which makes it all get progessively easier, has nothing to do with the actual length of projection but is all to do with the frequency. As such, it is far more beneficial, longer term, to have (say) three short, controlled projections per day rather than one long one.

Also, doing this cuts down on the number of scary circumstances you create for yourself. Each one of these leaves a strong imprint in your mind. However, normally these should be wholly outweighed by all the positive experiences you should be having. Please be aware that serious mental problems can arise when the opposite is the case (as is often clearly demonstrated on the PSD forum, for instance).

I wasn't trying to cause trouble or stir up old issues with the Frank thing.  But the fact I did lose money I think I had the right to ask after 5 years if anyone has heard any news.

I don't care about the money but I would like to learn how to phase or OBE, and with that I'll drop that subject.

So if you want to respond to this thread please only respond to the issue below the dotted line.  - Thanks

---------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure there are thousands of posts that I will try and navigate through as well as read Frank's material.  I mean how many posts could have occurred in 5 years' time? 

In the past I've mediated, saw stray energy and color even had brief flashes of very detailed imagery such as rock formations & architecture.  I've experienced vibrations once, got excited and that was that.  Experienced sleep paralysis a few times but each time it felt like a negative entity was pressing down on me and the more I struggled or tried to wake myself up verbally the worse it got.

Which leads to what is probably my main trouble or issue.....FEAR.

I just keep thinking that when I finally get to that point I'll attract demonic forces and from what I've read in the past few days that will just lead to an endless loop or spiral of attracting them.

I woke up this morning around 5 AM and decide to try and see how far I could get.  Well I must have fallen asleep but I do remember in my dream that I was pushing heavy boulders down a hole where a faceless monstrosity was kept and it was just tinkling him off.....go figure.

Anyway, hopefully I can overcome this, and learn project and enjoy what countless others know about and enjoy.

Thanks for any current and future help.
