Hi what do you think about claims that there are higher level practices than astral projection for example maybe psychic or soul travel that maybe allow you to visit higher planes than the astral or to gain more power?  it seems to me that most ap books I've read say that the astral plane is the highest plane it is possible to project to, do you think thats true or maybe some authors or experts in ap don't know or keep some information to themselves?
I always thought soul or psychic travel were different terms for astral projection but maybe not

Hi

aimed at those of you who consider yourself to have learned the art of lucid dreaming:
how frequently do you have a lucid dream from your natural night-time sleep?  i.e. every night? few nights a week?  more than one a night?
and aimed more at those that are old hands at lucid dreaming, do you go in for the Buddhist dream yoga side of lucid dreaming a lot, or just do whatever lucid dream adventures take your fancy

thanks

Hi with isochronic or binaural tracks do you feel you get what you pay for or are some of the less expensive tracks as good as anything
the reason I ask is some are very expensive at up to $30 a track but then on amazon or itunes you can buy similar downloads for less than a dollar, of course anyone could make binaural tracks for free with something like sbagen and sell them if they wanted to

Hi

I know with a lot of magical practice and meditation it is best if you do them daily is that also the case with most ritual/qabalah/golden dawn type magic that you have to do the exercises daily to see results,  or are some of them exercises you can do once or when you feel like it for the experience and leave it

I've been thinking of getting into a book like practical qabalah magic by david rankine or something similar but I really wouldn't want to if its going to involve an elaborate and time consuming daily practice

I'd appreciate it if you could offer me any advice on this.  (I'm not keen on getting into goetia or enochian magic at this time)

Hi

I think on a gateway retreat you spend most of your time for a week listening to as much of the gateway series as possible would I progress my ap skills a lot would you think if I tried to recreate something similar by listening to as many of the gateway home study tracks as possible at the weekends or would it be better to space them out and listen to one a day over a few months

Hi is it common when doing energy work and chakra exercises such as new energy ways for difficult emotions to arise, if so should you ease off on the exercises or is it a good thing

Hi has anyone tell me if ascension magick by christopher penczak is any good I've been considering buying it for ages but its quite pricey and it seems to be getting mixed feedback from blogs and stuff.  or if anyone has read his other books and would recommend him as an author

Hi I am using a hemi sync home study course and was wondering if someone could tell me, plz, what the format is if you go on a hemi sync retreat, would it be similar to listening to each exercise in the home study course in sequence over the course of the retreat with breaks for discussion or would it be something quite different?

thankyou!

Hi, anyone used the Hemi Sync Lucid Dreaming techique set?
I was wondering if it is any good, a recommended way to learn ld?
Also, if it would require continuing to use the guided meditation or does it give you a trigger of similar to enter the ld state at will?

Thanks

Hi, I would like to know if yoga and qi gong are broadly speaking different techniques to achieve the same results, or are they different in what they do?

Hi

Has anybody had any experience of Esoteric Society of Scotland?  or can vouch that they're an Ok organization?

On meetup.com they are advertising an astral travel/lucid dreaming course, free, I was considering going but I'm hesitant in case its some kind of cult, I'm often cautious of these things for fear of getting caught up in Scientology or whatever

thanks

Hi

I was just wondering how many of you are interested also in 8 circuit brain type material, such as antero alli etc?  and those of you who are into it, what you feel you get out of following such ideas?

I tried to read the book angel tech but found it to be very vague with not much practical instruction, so I wondered what others on this forum think.

thanks

Hi
Has anyone read any books by the author Gerald Massey?
I read on the site secret-teachings.com that he was the greatest gnostic that ever lived, but I want to know if his writings are really worthwhile.

what I mean is, can one member send one message to absolutely every member at once?
just wondered, cos I got a message that seemed a bit random.

Hi
I noticed a weird coincidence the other day which I thought I'd share
I was clearing some stuff out when I found these role-playing fantasy type book which I used to play with when I was about 10.  the author of these books was called J.H. Brennan, who also writes a number of books on astral projection and related subjects, including in fact the very first book I ever read on astral projection, which I bought (& only bought cos it was the only book on the subject in the bookstore) when I was about 20.
It was only after researching this on the net that I discovered it is the same author.
Weird, huh?

Hi
I would like some advice by members who know about hypnosis and related topics
Because I am currently trying to use the Hemi Sync Gateway home study, and it seems to count from 3 to 1 to take you out of the altered state
But, I have previously done a Silva Ultramind course which of course you count down from 3 to 1 to 'go to level', i.e. the altered state
Do you think this will mess things up, i.e. get confusing between the two instructions, or should it all be fine?
Thx from

Hi
Just thought I'd post to point out that the Monroe Institute has a channel on YouTube, don't know if you've seen it, I'd never noticed it before
http://uk.youtube.com/user/MonroeInstitute
I'll certainly be watching a good few of those vids with great interest cos I'm trying to work with the Gateway home study just now

Hi
Could it be that you could think that you get out of bed in the night to go to the bathroom or whatever, but you're actually dreaming, then you 'go back to bed' and the dream ends?
So you think you're fully conscious but actually dreaming, and everything seems perfectly lifelike?

Hi
Can anyone recommend a therapy that's effective for tinnitus & hearing difficulties?
I've been suffering this for a while and I think I might consider going to see some kind of healer.
Alternatively, does anyone know a teach-yourself healing book that could help with tinnitus etc?
I've tried Silva Method healing but it didn't help much.
Thanks from
007

Hi
If any members could find time to send me healing for my tinnitus that would be much appreciated.  I also have hearing problems so if that could be healed too that would be lovely.
I've been suffering with this for a while and it is just driving me nuts.
Thanks very much

Hi
Would you expect to notice anything unusual if you just visit a stone circle site on a random day?
When I visited Roslyn Chapel the guide said if you stood under this certain point some people claim to feel an unusual energy, but I didn't notice anything

Hi
I've been reading up a bit on the history of esoteric stuff and it strikes me that a lot of historical occult figures have been monks or studied to be priests or similar
Why do you think this could be?
Would it be that you would learn esoteric stuff secretly if you joined a monastery?
Or is it a bit like going to 'the dark side of the force'?
what d'you reckon?

Hi
I just wondered if there are considered to be any benefits to 'western mystery tradition' astral projection techniques such as the 'body of light' compared to more modern methods such as phasing, hemi sync, robert bruce's methods, etc.

I'm really enjoying this book and thought other members might enjoy it also so felt I should write a review.
It's the book that the old 'Monkey' tv show was based on you know the one with the kung fu monkey.  The book is based on a 16th Century chinese epic.
I would say the book is more of a good laugh than a really enlightening read or anything, although it's supposed to be, as the original was a satire.  It does give an insight into taoist/kung fu beliefs though imo.
If this appeals to you at all, I would recommend you get hold of a copy.

Hi I am wondering if you got attuned to an energy, for example a reiki attunement or even something more esoteric, supposing you didn't feel comfortable with the energy afterwards is it possible to un-attune yourself & if so is it a trivial matter?

What do you think would happen if you RV'd a reptilian being or examined them while out of body?
For example if the conspiracy theories about the Queen were true or if Count Saint Germain was a reptilian and you RV'd them what would happen?
Would they open a can of spiritual whup-butt on you?

Hi I would like feedback on Gerald O'Donell's RV/RI courses, the ones that are available from probablefuture.com.
The reason is, I'm in the middle of the combined course, and as much as I enjoy following the tapes... I sometimes dowse to assess how worthwhile the course is and get very negative feedback from the pendulum.
If you have taken the courses, were you pleased with it, or did you think it was a waste of time?
Thanks in advance from

Hi did the UK members see Derren Brown's Trick or Treat on Friday night
He hypnotized Dr Who actor David Tennant and made him perform a form of remote viewing/mind projection
It was very impressive
You should be able to see it on More4 website up until Thu I think

Hi I've got a basic question about the non-dualist philosophy

According to non-dualist philosophy, could it be said that nothing is any better than anything else?

For example, could it be said (according to the non-dualist philosophy) that an advanced manifestation technique is no more likely to succeed than a simple technique like creative visualization?

I hope you can clarify this for me, as I greatly enjoyed Russell Targ's book on this subject but am not sure if I have got the wrong end of the stick.

Thanks from

Hi
I've got a couple of questions for members that have attended an astral projection (or other psychic-type) seminar

Did you tell work colleagues/relatives exactly what you were doing?  Like, if you book time off work the conversation steers towards what you've got planned

Also, were you satisfied with the progress in your astral projection abilities over the duration of the seminar?  and could you do it as well when you got home?

Thanks from

Hi
I've got the basic Silva Ultramind home study - I was a bit disappointed to be honest
I see there's also a Silva Ultramind Remote Viewing/Remote Influencing home study.  I'm a bit reluctant to buy that as well though.
Would anyone be prepared to share the Silva Ultramind remote viewing technique?
& are the remote influencing techniques the same as the standard Silva method techniques like '3 scenes' or creative visualization?

also, am I right in thinking there is a type of remote viewing which is like OBE/LD in terms of clarity and then the viewer can pick out detailed information about the scene?   ...as opposed to most of the types of remote viewing I've come across where you seem to get quite vague impressions?
if so, what's this type of remote viewing called?  & can anyone recommend a book/product which teaches it?

Thanks in advance from

Hi I'd like some advice about something
A couple of times recently I've woken from very vivid dreams (so vivid they seemed real) that I could see someone in my bedroom - nobody I recognised though.  It was quite scary!  Could this be some kind of entity pulling me from my body?  Or what is the likely explanation?
By the way, I've been taking vitamin B6 for the past while, that may explain the vivid dream, but I can't understand the rest of it.
thanks from

This is just a stupid idea I've been thinking about,
What would happen if you stopped time (like Hiro from Heroes can stop time) then did some pushups or some other exercise, would you get really strong and fit?
