[Local Area Flight]

Hi to everybody at Astral Pulse. 
This OBE happened nearly a month and a half ago, in mid-May. But I have been lax in keeping up to date on this forum so have just now got around to posting it. It is titled -------

Local Area Flight

Saturday, May 16, 2009
(This is numbered OBE #84 in my notebook.)

   Late at night I was in the perfect pre-projection state of mind awake-body asleep (and in sleep paralysis). Immediate thoughts of an OBE began forming in my mind. Sudden strong vibrations began coursing through my body. Soon I was able to increase the strength of these vibrations.
   I made a deliberate effort at separation and projection. It took 2 or 3 tries before I could 'stand up' out of body. It felt so 'real' that at first I thought that perhaps I had physically stood up (while sleepwalking?!?). Then I saw my physical body asleep in bed and so was assured that it was an (ethereal) projection.
   Less than a minute into this OBE I went through the large screen window and flew above the street. Flight skills were good but vision was a problem. It took a lot of time and effort to navigate between trees and around power lines. At one tree I stopped to observe 2 birds on a branch. These animals must have been physical because neither was aware of my presence.  I actually touched one of the birds without getting a reaction from it.
   Shortly I began flying uphill. After cresting the hill and passing over the baseball field I quickly descended downhill. From this point on, for the next five to ten minutes, the area was completely unfamiliar. Either the OBE had become a dream or else the RTZ-ethereal landscape was much different than the physical area. Either way nothing else of much importance happened and I flew around for five to ten minutes until the OBE ended.
   Notes. Time of projection was approximately 2:30 to 5:00 AM. Duration was 20 minutes. I lay on my left side. OBE #84 was in Locale I, a familiar location. There were no familiar person(s) or being(s). There were unfamiliar animals -- 2 birds (but no people). Deliberate,  Drugs-alcohol (had nearly a full bottle of wine that day),  Energy-pranayama,  Flight,  Meditation,  Saw Own Body, Sleep paralysis, and Vibrations.

So there it is. Nothing very dramatic but the flight was quite enjoyable. Actually I had many OBEs flying over this area when I was a child and a teenager. But I had never heard of OBEs back then and considered them to be only special dreams.
As always opinions and comments are welcome.
Thanx for reading

Yeah, and indigo is the color of the brow chakra under that, which could account for the blue head. Smiley

Good point Stookie

And BTW since this is the very first OBE report (of thousands) that I have read where a person describes  a chakra I feel forced to ask the inevitable question.....Why isn't the sighting of chakra/s much more widely reported. According to the Hindus (and others) chakras are present in each and every astral/ethereal (subtle) body yet nobody reports seeing them!

So what's up with That ?
Just cogitating out loud.

A couple of thoughts on your very first conscious OBE.
First, it was most probably a full and complete separation and not just a partial OBE. This is because you were somewhere else other than where your physical body lay. Therefore it is most likely that the separation (of physical and astral body) had already taken place but you were not fully aware of it.

Second, the success of having an OBE after weeks and months of continued effort, can occur at any time. Sometimes the OBE happens when you do not expect it. The important point is that the work that you already put in DID pay off and will continue to pay off in the future.
Congrats
Grey

Okay, another week has gone by. Still no success with projecting. I need to be more serious (and constant) in my efforts and this is something that I am prepared to do. The upshot is that I will continue to attempt to go OOB (at least for the few days) and will post any OBE here in this thread.

Your description of the yellow lotus flower is nearly a perfect description of the crown chakra known as the Sahasrara (Golden onethousand petal lotus). It is the topmost of the 7 major chakras and is considered by some experts to be the most important of all the chakras.

Just thought you might want to know !

Thanx for your continued effort. And congrats on the OBE. Have you been to San Fransisco before? (I'm wondering why you went there, especially if there was no emotional tie.)

Anyway, I did make deliberate efforts to go out of body during this past weekend. Unfortunately I did not have an OBE. I did, however, have one or two dreams of various locations in Pittsburgh, including my old high school - Peabody H.S.
Nearly had an OBE on Monday night but someone or something seemed to be preventing me from separating. I was mind awake, body asleep and in sleep paralyses. But I felt a distinct presence and it definately felt to me as if this being did not want me to separate.

And so I will continue my efforts to manifest an OBE every night, at least through the upcoming weekend, and will post in this thread again soon.
Good luck with your projections.

Grey

T.L.
Once again I apologize for not answering your most recent post on this thread sooner.
Anyway I will attempt an OBE tonight and on each of the three following nights (Friday, saturday and Sunday nights).
If I do succeed in going out of body then I will try to visit all the well known landmarks of Pittsburgh (Heinz Field, PNC Park, the Civic Arena and the park at the Point (meeting of the three rivers.)
Hope to see you then. Will next post here on Monday or Tuesday night (if I don't forget lol )

Some of the people that i saw during the OBE May have been dead. I simply have no way of knowing without asking them directly. My intuition was the most, or all, of them were temporarily OOB during dreams.

Many of the people in my OBE could see me and a few interacted with me. This would not have been possible had they been physical. None of these people seemed the least bit surprised that I was flying about, again impossible had they been physical. And finally, near the end of my OBE several of these people actually flew into the sky themselves.) Also the time was wrong because it was bright daylight in the OBE and physically it was before dawn (5:30 to 6:30 AM). So all this information makes me strongly believe that everybody was discarnate (= non-physical) and most of them were probably dreaming.

Grey

A Great experience ! By your account it most certainly Does appear that you entered the dream of your friend's wife while you where out of body!
I have read accounts similar to yours yet no one has yet claimed to have any verifiable information (your sketch map) to back up their story.
Regarding that map of the hospitable --- have you by chance been to that place to check the accuracy of the map? That might make for an interesting experience.

Grey

Dood  !
Way to Go ! Good to see that you finally got out into a full OBE after a long 'dry spell'.

Not to be Too esoteric here ...but.... the throat chakra is attuned to, and is a mechanism for controlling, the ethereal or etheric realms. (Trust me, because several years ago I was heavily into chakras, prana and Hindu esoterica).
The chakras, when open and functioning correctly, channel the subtle energy of kundalini (and to a lesser extent prana) up and down the physical body and its ethereal counterpart (that part of you that goes out of body). When blocked or otherwise closed the chakras can prevent kundalini and prana from taking its natural course and this could lead to disease, depression and other ailments.

Of course I don't know what is going on with you right now but it could be that your throat chakra was or still is blocked. The heavy vibrations might be a natural, subconscious way of clearing that chakra again. There could be other possibilities yet this seems to be the most likely.

Thanx for posting, I always enjoy reading your experiences.

Grey

T.L
As you can see I'm not always timely in my replies to other people's posts.

Anyway, any time that is convenient to you is fine with me. I do not have a family and therefore will leave it to you to chose a time most convenient for this 'experiment".

Grey

Let me be the first to congratulate you. Thanx for sharing and posting your OBE here.

That first OBE is something that you will never forget and it appears that yours was better than most first time experiences. That you managed to float inside your room And then fly outside the building over the neighborhood makes your first OBE a rare event.

btw is the Lucidology method to be found anywhere online?? If so could you please provide a link??

Thanx
Grey

Thanx both to T.L. and Stookie for your replies.

T.L. - an interesting idea about meeting up astrally. If you're serious then you can name any time and location to meet out of body. Astral experiments are always interesting. I've yet to have any great success but it could happen!

Grey

Hallo to everyone in AstralPulse 
It has been several weeks since I have posted here. Please forgive this oversight as I have been busy with 'other' activities. Anyway, this OBE is over 2 months old yet I have not posted it here as yet.


Out of Body Experience (# 83) titled "Long Time in Flight"
Sunday March 15, 2009
   A true Astral Projection as opposed to a Real Time Zone Ethereal Projection. This experience was all about flight. It consisted mostly of a grand aerial tour of a non-physical counterpart of the city of Pittsburgh - a BST where I had been before many years ago.
   It began at night on a dark street somewhere on Pittsburgh's North Side. Just to be safe I flew up about 50 to 60 feet (to about treetop height). Then I flew over a road uphill and noticed several people in the woods. Suddenly the night gave way to bright sunshine.
   Soon I was flying over the Allegheny River near downtown Pittsburgh. I became aware of being out of body while in flight. I flew over the downtown area on a warm sunny afternoon. (It was actually still night, between 5:30 and 6:30 AM in the physical). I flew over PNC Park (or Heinz Field) as crews prepared for an upcoming concert. The CSNY (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) song "Long Time" could clearly be heard. Then I flew over a bridge and went over the Monongehela River.
   People were everywhere, in cars and on foot, doing all types of activities. These were not physical people but were discarnates, probably most of them were dreamers.
   Finally I flew over an area that was both an outdoor shopping mall and an office-industrial park. Somehow I ended up inside a store. Eventually I managed to get outside again by going through a window and then tried to fly straight up to the top of a tall office building. Several people saw me do this and most laughed at my efforts though a few of them did try a flight of their own. A short time later I was back in the physical in bed.
   Notes. The time was between 5:30 - 6:30 AM. Duration of OBE was about 40 to 60 minutes. I lay on the left side.   OBE # 83 Locale was a BST (Belief Systems Territory). Familiar Location Yes. There were No Familiar Persons or Beings. There were many unfamiliar (discarnate) people (and a few animal discarnates too). Emotional,  Flight,  Floated,  Meditation (earlier that night including the Rope OBE induction),  Music,  Pranayama, Travel-teleportation.

As always thanx to all of you who read this report. If anyone has a comment, a (bright) idea (or even a criticism) then please post your reply.


Grey

Right Dingo. 
That just might work. Maybe some type of thought elemental-being could be mentally 'implanted' at API by one person (or several people) (via meditation or guided visualization). Then this thought elemental could be used to focus ones intention once out of body to travel to API.
It would be necessary to 'maintain' that thought elemental through regular meditation to prevent it from dissipating away. Yet it might be a workable method.
Grey

If you consistently experience lack of sight during your OBEs then try the Affirmation "Clarity now" the next time that you are out of body. It need not be the exact words "Clarity now" but should be something to the effect "Clear Vision" or "I want good vision" or something similar. This has worked for many people.
Good luck
Grey

Oops
Its Saturday so I missed posting yesterday  - Friday - as I said I would.

Anyway, here is a short summary of my progress - or more accurately lack of progress, in reaching API.

Basically no real progress any of the last 4 nights. Yet this does not really discourage me much. Sometimes I need to stay with a "project" for a week or more before getting any real results.
SOooo - I intend to keep trying to 'visit' API for the next several days. Have no idea if I will have any type of success but feel that the possible result is worth the effort expended.
Will post here in a couple of days.

Grey

I think it would be more effective if even a few of us came together and created our reality using the Law of Attraction in a positive way. Wouldn't it be fun to create a virtual visualization board? We could put into words what we want to manifest. Words like can't, won't, don't, or isn't would not be allowed. We could help each other by making points about our choice of words, etc. For example, "I will be wealthy" is not quite as effective as "I am wealthy." Especially where gratitude is involved. Already I have noticed a difference since I started using the Law of Attraction consciously. Every day I get better at it.

That is a very interesting idea. It could actually work quite well. And even if it was only partially successful it would help in the way each of perceives this world and in the way we communicate those perceptions to each other.

Grey

Hi Warper 
I like your spirit.
My experience with Astral Pulse Island (API) is somewhat limited. I posted a few ideas way back when the original concept of API was first proposed. Then I sparodically tried to astral project to API for the next 2 or 3 months.
So far I have not been to API in an astral projection though I have 'been there' a few times through creative visualization meditations.

So if you are up for go at API then I propose the follwing ---
I will try to astral project to API tonight, tomorrow night (March 18 US eastern time zone) and again on Thursday night (March 19). If I cannot AP there then I will again attempt to travel there by visualization meditation (this might be considered a variation of remote viewing)
If you want to try to meet me at API then please make an attempt to do so on any or all of these 3 nights..

I will next post here on this thread on Friday March 20.
I look forward to our next communication.

Good Luck 
Grey

Floating raft
Well done on your first conscious and deliberate OBE. Many more should follow.

Regarding your exit without the vibrations ---- Most people actually Don't feel vibrations prior to separation (or at least do not mention them in the OBE reports). Of the several dozen OBEs that I have experienced I have had vibrations during slightly less than half of them.

Your recommendation to beginners about taking a break is outstanding advice (and this could apply to experienced OBE-ers as well). Most people new to the OBE phenomena tend to give up after several weeks or a couple of months if no OBE has been achieved. Yet the mechanism for getting out of body does not work like that. Some people can go OOB right away, others need to work at it for awhile. Most people who fail to go OOB simple give up and quit trying. Whereas if they took a short break in their routine these people would almost certainly have a higher rate of success.

Zareste, your quote

you'll see why our culture is a dump.

I agree. So it should be obvious why any highly advanced ET race would want little or nothing to do with humanity. Any high tech, starfaring alien race would have to deal with humanity's worst characteristics -Carelessness, wastefulness and militancy.


Grey

Dr Greer's protocol appear to be very similar to remote viewing (RV). There is a lot of literature and websites about RV so I need not go into it much. Except that to say according to some of the people who were members of the CIA/DOD "Stargate" RV program ETS were successfully viewed on several occasions using RV techniques. If I recall correctly different alien species were 'seen' in starships orbiting modern Earth and in the distant past on Mars.

2 cool OBEs ! or 2-Smooth OBEs 

Anyway to respond to your questions ---
# 1) IMO you should just Think about opening your eyes because if you try to do anything overly physical then your physical eyes could open and that would end the OBE.
# 2) Try speaking normally first. If that does not work then try telepathy. If that doesn't work then continue trying whatever comes to mind.
# 3) btw it was neat seeing your deceased pet  But, no, I have never met a deceased pet in the astral/ethereal myself. I have come across discarnate animals on occasion.

Grey

Astral316 Congrats and thanx for posting your OBE accounts.

Yes, any physical stimulus (including loud bothersome noises) during an OBE can cause the consciousness to shift back to the physical and that can potentially end the OBE. Unfortunately there is not a whole lot that a person can do about it. Trying to ignore annoying irritations usually works, at least to some extent. Fortunately physical annoyances only happen occasionally.

Grey

Ambient Sound's and Old Dood's posts immediately bring to mind the many reports of sightings of huge slow moving triangles seen flying in various areas of the US and in other countries. Perhaps some secret government black Ops program HAS harnessed this AG propulsion system to power these strange new flying craft (ufos). It could account for sightings like the Phoenix lights back in 1996.
