Hi, I just joined- I havn't been working much so I have had some extra time to check out internet chat sites. I'm 31 and have been projecting since I was about 12. Projection has always been fairly easy for me- my theory is that my levels of conciousness split during episodes of childhood abuse and that I have slowly learned how manipulate this splitting of conciousness. I have been practicing astral projection for years and have seen pretty cool things. I have never really talked to anyone else who can project so that's why I'm here. I'm also trying to get rid of some of the fear I have regaurding some ET encounters and some of the different beings I've come across during projection. I'm also interested in learning how to build up energy to substain long projections. I have no trouble getting out but frequently I seem to loose conciousness shortly after I'm out- I start to take off for the stars and then everything turns grey and cloudy and I fall into by body and wake up.. sometimes I make it to other dimentions but don't know why I'm falling off prematurely most of the time.
