Sometimes the best questions come before you know anything. With the world of our mind, this is very true. When I started, I asked questions that I haven't fathomed how to phrase until today.

On a popular science show 'Nova', I once heard a scientist describing the technique used for examining the form of an atom similar to "Throwing a piano down the stairs and listening to all the noises to see what's inside." A lot of what we do to understand the world not seen with the eyes. It's terribly difficult to find out everything about it.

So I make a challange for your mind: Why does this thing some call the Astral exist?


When most people start, the impression we get of the inner conciousness is somewhat like the coolest game on the interweb. EVAR. You can do anything you want, be anyone you want, see anything you want, and not pay a penny in service charges. Why would we have such an endless world at our disposal? What purpose does it create past our own entertainment?

For those of you who believe in chakras and auras and planes and such limitations, why do you believe those limitations exist? Why can evil forces hurt you? Why do those things you know you can't do stay unavailable?


I know I'm asking a lot, but I'm running out of ideas and I need some brainstorming. Secondly, I don't think it quite right for us to absentmindedly accept it as it is, that takes all the fun out of it.

Welcome to Members Introductions! / "Hello, world"
September 12, 2005, 20:09:58
Hello everyone. I thought I'd introduce myself to anyone looking for a new friend.

My name is Stephen, and I am 18. I have not yet had an experience of phasing beyond focus 10. As my studies show, I am very close to breaching a focus 12, but work interrupts my practice continually.

I started my interest in other-worldly things at the age of 12, when my mother explained to me in my grandmother's kitchen that our family is psychically gifted. From there I went monthly to the library to study. At first I attempted hypnotism, in which I believed I hypnotised my sister once. After that I branched out in to ESP, telekenesis, religion, and eventually OBE's.

At the age of 15 I had experienced so little in comparrison to my studying, that it seemed I was getting nowhere. My studies concluded, and I was content with the short ability I had gained to be in check with higher-obtained knowledge, or being able to listen to 'the voice'. The ability was short lived as after both practice and interest dropped, so did my connection.

Four or five months ago, I'm not too sure which, a friend of mine expressed her interest in OBE. My interest was regained from having a companion to share my experiences with. Breifly she explained phasing, but I didn't take to it as the explination was "Causing an OBE from concentrating on the pictures in your eyelids." Less than appealing.

On a random day that I decided to do more internet searching, I came apon the Astral Pulse site. Having no idea it was connected to phasing, I joined Frank's newsletter. It was a useful thing I did, too.

One night my friend introduced me to someone who was more successful than we were, in a guess we already knew eachother. Her suspicions were correct, as we were old friends with no idea about our similar interest. He explained more deeply the meaning of phasing, and led me here. As the mental-rundowns were very similar to those of hypnotism, I caught on quite quickly.

Barriers that scared me before now stood as a challange to overcome fear. I have lept through things that I was familiar with, but couldn't explain before I read through phasing techniques. Most was simply a control of the fear on the unknown.

Now I'm faced with the final challange before I can move on, which in funny terms, is simply getting over myself. Being both scientific and spiritual, I can accept what I experience, but I want to know the cause, the source. Every practice I question every step, every feeling, every sound, and it holds me back until I can learn to accept it all.

I hope I can make some friends here, and maybe some who I could share some experiences, and bounce ideas off of. I must admit I never really follow the guidelines or techniques. I've come up with almost all my own after studying what I'm trying to accomplish with each step. As it's been a long process, I still feel more comfortable doing it my way. Of course, there's no real right way to do it anyways.

Thanks for reading.
