Not just healing but also learning opportunities. My last nightmare is ages back and I do not even remember it anymore, but I have lots of dreams that are 'unpleasant' to me, at least when I remember some of it, and it shows that it is problem-solving related or deals with a problem or question in my life, I remember the adage: "A dream is never really an answer but a question!" and this somehow seems to be true to some degree. Not that also answers or solutions are given or found in/by dreams, but it is often your own making or your own choice among other choices that is presented to you.

I agree Volgerle. In many of my LD experiences I become lucid just as the sht is about to hit the fan. Many times it will show itself as a nightmarish/traumatic experience. I then have to somehow diffuse the situation. The dream experience doesn't just end then and there though. Many times, the following day and sometimes longer, it has me still pondering the decisions and my own actions that were made/acted upon in it. This has a tendency to set my mood for that day as well.

Healing, strengthening our conscious awareness/lucidity in the dream and lessons learned seem to be all apart of it. But, it doesn't just happen via nightmares or traumatic experiences. It also occurs in blissful experiences as well.

Re: interest and also the quote -- people need more than typed words on an internet screen. They get interested when they can see and hear.

I disagree. Where there is a will, there is a way. I guess they don't have the will. I gave up trying to "entice" people to do this years ago. We are here still today on this Forum ready and willing to help those that wish to learn. They just have to show the initiative first themselves!

Good Luck with your project!

I honestly never used them.   

But it doesn't surprise me... the forum software is getting really old now and I think we're lucky it's still going.
It's old because the database doesn't seem to want to update properly.  So meh. 

There isn't really anything anyone can do.

I'll take the blame. I must have broke something when I turned my notifications off, lol!  Oops! 

 You are seeing the benefits of experimenting. Good work!  Here's to your continued success! 

Interesting idea. I've read in a few places that asparagus is conducive to OBE.

I would have figured it would have been Carrots, lol. Anything to aide with that enhanced Astral vision! 

 I have found that Nightmares are great Dream triggers. Every time I have experienced one, it heightened my conscious awareness in the experience, exponentially!

 I wish she was still active here. I have a few questions for her on her Retrieval experience. In her early experiences, she always talked wrote about a Helper being there and that she basically was introduced to the dilemma at hand, but she usually passed the actual Retrieval off to the Helper that was there. I wondered if this ever changed.

In every Retrieval experience I was part of, I was the one that had to handle the Retrieval itself and I only passed it on to a Helper/Aide, once it was completed. The handing off seemed to happen at some at some kind of Cathedral like white building, akin to a grand Hospital of sorts.

I was also curious how her technique that she called "Focused Attention" differed from what would be known as Phasing. 

I can't believe that CFT is back! Yipieh! Nice to read from you here on the Pulse again. Been a while.

Welcome back CFT!  We missed your presence here!

 I find that your point/quote here "Void / 3D Blackness – door to astral planes and beyond", says it all. Once you learn to get to the Void/3D darkness repeatedly/on a regular basis and can hold that state, reaching all the other "densities, realms, dimensions, whatever term you wish to use, becomes achievable, but only when the time is right. There is definitely a lengthy learning curve there though. Practice, Patience and Perseverance will show you the way!  

When I was new, I was shown, via a Phasing experience, what could be. This came when I found myself on some kind of bullet train, traversing through the many "levels" of existence. I couldn't exit the train. I could only view it as the train whizzed by. It began in the lower regions and quickly elevated until lastly we entered a area of pure light. The whole adventure ended then and there. Just experiencing this white light area briefly, was a profound experience in itself.

 Hello Casey. I went and listened to your current videos. Many of your videos of the past, i have listened to as well. I like your idea. I would be interested in being a part of it, but not the "video" part. I still believe it's the message, not the messenger that's important.

I attempted in the past to get some involvement here in "delving deeper" as a collective, into the process of non local states of consciousness, but the thread quickly died and disappeared into the Astral Pulse abyss.

I do have a question though, "what did you mean by this statement that you posted in one of your replies here?" That being:
"A level of fear I feel is playing a part in the non-participation also.

High lurker counts can show this. As well as those who will not grow to video record or live-stream. This is all a part of our process, growing past our fears in order to get to the next level. I do wish more people would. and now."

I don't video chat or live-stream. To tell you the truth, I still don't use a cellphone. It has nothing to do with fear, it has everything to do with choice. One important, let's say "perk" of this practice in general is that it teaches you to be aware. By being in the "know" I can see things in a different way then many others do. I can see the pros and cons of many decisions that people make in their lives. At one point in my life, actually for about 12 years, I gave up my home life, to travel and help others. At first, it didn't start that way. One things led to another and soon I saw a pattern being created. I knew what I had to do. But i learned by observing others, as I still do today.

One thing that still really amazes me is how all these speakers in radio interviews and other things I listen to, keep talking about all these "changes" that are occurring and how all these people are waking up. My question is "people where?". These speakers have surrounded themselves by like minded people. If they got out int the general public, often, as I do, they would find out just how "awake" society is right now. We are completely reliant on our tech and personal devices, that we can't seem to think straight anymore. On the roads, other vehicles have become obstacles that keep us from making it form point A to point B as fast as we can. We no longer see a vehicle with another human being in it. Because of that, people decide to drive accordingly. 

We are so reliant on tech and not if, but when we get a interruption like for instance a Solar flare worse than the 1859 Carrington event, we will be thrown right back into the stone age. I said not "if" but when because Scientists themselves used that very term when speaking to the United Nations about what would occur here on Earth in this day and time. 20 years, we wouldn't have been reliant, so we could still thrive and survive, but not today. It's funny, you can't really have a conversation today on this matter because for some reason, people seem to forget that we were still alive and thriving 20 years ago.

I think one of the major problems in finding experiencers to join a project like this is that somewhere along the line, experiencing the "NP" either in a LD/Phase session or actual OBE, spontaneous or not, has become kind of "second nature" to them. I can understand that too. I don't log daily, like I did in the past, all of my "NP" experiences, unless of course it is some kind of "unique"/profound experience. But i was told many times in the NP, through some kind of non verbal "knowing", that if I stop trying to teach and help others, my own NP teachings and experiences will be halted as well.

 Hello and welcome to the Astral Pulse Lightbeam4. From reading your stats here, I can see in your short time here that you have been doing your research here. That in itself will lead to your success. Many times people report their first "conscious" OBE or Lucid Dream after just listening to a video or even a conversation on the topic itself.

Now, to your question. It has been talked about many times on this Forum in the past, just not the way you have inquired above about it.

All the answers given to you by the experienced members of the this Forum have been great. The two paragraphs that really stood out to me were written by EV here. If I were you, I would read this and reread this now and again throughout your "evolution" with your OBE process. Right now, EV's statement will give you more questions than answers. But as you delve deeper into this practice, you will find that his words will have more meaning. You will be able to check these things off your list!  
"And just for the sake of this discussion, let's agree that your dreams, lucid dreams and early projections are taking place in Focus 2, your personal dream world. The key point to understand is that this is like a 'training ground', a school of sorts. You are segregated here for a reason, so that you don't 'pollute' the Wider Reality with uncontrolled emotions and energy. There are all sorts of lessons to be learned here and most of the material is, in fact, pulled from your subconscious. The 'lesson plan' or 'curriculum', as it were is possibly overseen and handed down from an aspect of YOU, likely your Higher Self. And there are likely 'outside sources': Teachers, Guides and Friends that can pop in from time to time to add in a lesson or assist in your instruction. This will become more apparent as you gather experiences.

So yes, it is your personal dream world and you can make material changes within it (and learning to do that is a lesson in and of itself). But it's not that simple; once training commences, making haphazard changes to the environment can and will ruin the lesson being presented. You will not know that it is a lesson, that is part of the fun, Lol. And your training has already begun, in fact long ago, possibly in your childhood. In your dreams. If you search back through your dreams, you may begin to piece it together, where the lessons actually began."

In the NP/Otherwhere/Astral, which ever name you choose to go with, there are many lessons, as there are here in this physical existence. Our entire existence here is filled with "tests, quests and challenges". So, why wouldn't it be there as well? I live by the certain adages, the one that seems to fit the best to me at least where this practice comes into play is "change your mindset changes your reality". That's what I based this thread here on:
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_out_of_body_experiences/tests_quests_and_challenges-t46546.0.html

When i was new, I had many questions. When i finally had my first conscious OBE/AP, I had no control over anything, let alone my own self. I flitted around from scene to scene, like it was some kind of revolving door. I couldn't hold onto anything for longer than a few seconds. Then one day a Aide/Helper showed up. It was either my deceased Brother-inlaw or some spirit playing the part of him, but whatever it was, it was profoundly helpful. He taught me depth perception, how to prolong an experience and what I find one of the most important things that all in this practice have either learned or need to learn to do, which is to first observe and then react/engage. Actually, it's more about knowing when to finally engage yourself in the situation at hand. This is not a problem during a LD though because in a LD, you are already immersed in the scene. You just need to learn how to heighten your awareness in the scenario at hand. During a conscious OBE/Phases session, at first, you will likely have to overcome all kinds of things form fear tests to signposts. That's basically part of the learning curve though.

In my Phase sessions, I experience everything from the point of view of single point of consciousness. I don't need to use appendages to get around, that happens with just a simple thought, no bodily vehicle is needed. This way, I find there are no limitations on where I can go or what I can see and learn.

Via a LD, I become aware I am in a scenario, but don't really "feel" any appendages. I guess that is the last thing on my mind during the experience. Normally, I will already have some kind of pressing matter to extinguish or some soul to help.

I have never seen this commonly spoke about "silver cord" either. Come to think of it, for the many years now that I have been a member of this Forum, I can't really think of too many experiencers here on the AP forums that have actually mentioned this elusive "silver cord" as well.

 For those of us that are concerned, here is the latest news on the problem. It seems they have another issue as well, 22 people that were to return to pick up more provisions, have opted to ignore the warnings and stayed in their homes. The problem being, this could put the Rescuers in peril, if they indeed had to go in and rescue them. I see both sides of the coin though.

Friends, not enemies

Ditto!  

These people that see these things or are abducted etherically or otherwise, don't quite realize/are not aware, that they already okayed this on some level!

I actually saved what I wanted to post in a word doc after three attempts. My thought after the second failure was, well someone doesn't want me to disclose this. However, I did not listen to my thought and I kept trying. It is too long to retype it on my phone, but after I read Lumaza s post I realized this is not a coincidence. Someone really doesn't want info to be disclosed just yet, so I will honer that wish and won't post it even if the server decides to appear again on my home network.

Well I am glad to see the problem doesn't occur with just me, lol. It got so bad that every time I type up a lengthy, meaningful reply, I copy it right then and there, so I can paste it if necessary!  

I guess some things are better left unsaid.  

Hey Lumaza, yeah I think it's like the only decent video on the topic. They actually show monks reading the bardo teachings to the dead. Here is some of it on YouTube...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5rs7akm87x4

Yes, that's the one!  

I was just thinking that APing is a really good way of preparing for the afterlife. They say life is so short so we should enjoy it. But the next life is long so we should prepare for it. So I wonder if the AP experience is in any way similar to the after life or what is beyond death?

That's what William Buhlman and some other noted authors of AP teach.

A few weeks back I heard a Radio interview with a man named Father Nathan Castle. He teaches people on "death's door" to actually prepare for their "afterlife party". He has them make a list of whom they wish to attend it. I really enjoyed his take on all of this.   He uses the teachings of the Monks and their idea of a Bardo state, in his talks, as well.

Here is one of his recent interviews on this topic. It's not the one I listened to on Midnight in the Desert a month or so ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKPZj0rkbzk

Btw, I had just finished watching a documentary of the Tibetan Book of the Dead when I drifted asleep. It may have sparked something, lol.

If it's the one I am thinking of, it was quite good! 

I find that a lot of those Documentaries seem to "spark" something in me as well! But I like and invite it! 

I am watching right now ancient aliens "the akashic records" that episode features a Bulgarian seer Baba Vanga and her predictions. She was a sensation while I was growing up. You can read more about her online, her past predictions that came to pass,  and her future predictions.  While she was alive she was on the news constantly. Her house was always packed with people seeking healing, advise, predictions, etc. Many politician's,  celebrities had visited her. All people praised her for her wisdom and advised she gave them. She never charged anyone, just accepted whatever gifts anyone brought her.

That "Akashic record" episode is one of my favorites! 

I would say more, but every time in the past that I have posted about ETs on this Forum here, I found that my computer didn't work properly for the next few weeks after said post. So, I will stay "Mum" with my thoughts for now on, on that subject. It's no longer once done twice shy, lol. It has happened a few times now and I finally get the message! 

 A good friend of many here and Moderator named Szaxx is in dire straits at the moment. Literally.

Through the recent deluge of flooding in the UK, their Dam has a breach, that could possibly cause the entire Dam to collapse and flood the town of Whaley Bridge and the surrounding area. The town has been evacuated. Szaxx lives just outside of the evacuation zone, (barely), but is still affected by the possible 1.5 million tons of water that may soon destroy everything in his area. The article says the actual Reservoir holds 300 million tons of water. When Szaxx PMed me, he could hear the Chinooks right out his window.

My request is for us all here to keep Szaxx, his family, friends and his entire community in our thoughts and prayers.

You can read more about it here:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-derbyshire-49213042

Szaxx's latest PM to me today told me that the engineers are attempting to repair it, but it will take awhile. He also said it was "touch and go" right now and that some of their two foot wide streams have grown to 10 foot wide with heavy erosion. Unfortunately, he also said more rain is on the way. Lastly, he voiced his concern on whether the actual repair would be successful or not.

You can find out more about this dire situation with a simple google search on "Toddybrook Dam or Whaley Bridge". It's such a beautiful community too.

Thank You!

Update. Here is the latest on the situation, as of 2 hours ago.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-derbyshire-49222956

You've already learned more about yourself and your role than I personally have learned about mine. That makes you a mentor as I am still learning.

Thank You Nameless.!  But just know, "we are all still learning". That's what we do! 

 Welcome back! 

Although they were short experiences, you were still consciously aware of them. Kudos for that! 

Lumaza and I have spoken about this. I do not profess any further knowledge on the subject except to say that I agree with most of what has been written here. I had one fairly significant experience a couple years ago and this sparked some dim memories of maybe one or two other instances.

Thank You for that confirmation EV!  

We were both posting here at the same time, so I didn't see your reply here until I had finished posting mine. Oops, lol!  

Hmm, "Marconics"! Now I have a new topic to research. Thanks for the extra work EV!  

I have listened to some of the music created by Tom Kenyon. He has the voice of an Angel. He channels the Arcturians as well.
Here's a sample:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi8HZKGtgsQ

You know plenty enough to keep me going Lumaza so whether you know it all or not you definitely know more than I do. And you are far better at explaining to new people the steps they need to take to accomplish their goals. 

Thank You Nameless!   I used the wrong words when I said "know it all", because I clearly don't. I meant I don't want to be known as a "Story Teller". We have had a few members in the past, who aren't here anymore, that seemed to like being in the conversation, just to be in the conversation, if you know what I mean.   It's nice to have "proven confirmations" once in awhile here. That's why I added to my post above that I have shared my bizarre experience with others here at the Astral Pulse.

Earlier in my practice, I was taught quite a bit about how to navigate my new NP surroundings. But mostly I was taught important things like "passively observing" and "allowing" what I was experiencing. I was told, pretty well point blank, that I was being shown all this, so I could teach others here. I see it as "paying it forward". When I stop teaching here, "they", whoever "they" are stop teaching me as well.
I will also add to that that when I was new, a number of members here like Xanth, EV, Contenteo, Bedeekin, CFTtraveller, Szaxx, AstralZombie, Major Tom and so many others helped me as well and I am grateful for all of their help.  

Vibrations are something I can normally bring on at will, I like to play with the energy. Interestingly (to me) when I get the vibrations now I don't suffer sleep paralysis. Not usually anyway and most definitely not when I am causing it purposefully which was not the case this time.

Just sitting motionless while reading a book or watching TV for me is enough for me to become aware of onset of vibrations. Even though at that point, they are very weak. I'm sure everyone has this too, they just aren't "aware" of it.

My SP as of the last few years now has basically been the same. I still call it SP because it's easier for others here to understand that title. I don't really get "paralyzed" during it anymore. It starts with the gentle sound of a wind approaching. Hence the name "Astral Winds". I sleep with earplugs in so I know this all a NP signpost. Next a mild pulse of energy begins permeating my body. Both the Astral winds and the energy pulses get stronger and stronger until they become one in the same (that's hard to explain0. Then everything goes still and the next thing I know my ankles or legs are being risen and I pulled out of bed, down my hallway and out my patio window. It's pretty well "clockwork" now. I just observe and allow what is going to happen to happen. Sometimes I will set a intended destination during that 'stillness". Other times. I just go with the flow.

For me, at the current period, phasing is really hard because I cannot really seem to know if I should "see" or imagine the actual images that would deepen my state of consciousness and I get confused during the process. I presume, scrying would be more evidential in a way of how the experience comes, I hope I am clear on this. Maybe I shouldn't try to distinguish this, just try to see further in the dark?

This should help you greatly. Check this link out. It has many other links that deal directly with your problem here. I find much of this starts as "imagination", but somewhere along the way, it all changes!  
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness/the_doorway-t46013.0.html

Here are some more threads that I either created or shared some techniques in, in the past, that should keep you busy for awhile. They all have the same thing in common. Like Xanth says in his free E-book here, "it all has to do with strengthening your FOCUS!"

Thanks for that! MAybe with a black mirror, the technique could be a bit easier with open eyes, and then if success comes, that will improve phasing too. I'll def try this out

Actually, I found Scrying more difficult to do. Simply because you use a candle in the dark, so that you can kind of blank out any kind of distractions that were around you. It did teach me how to "hold" my focus on a singular target for a lengthy period of time. So, yes, it was beneficial.

 I have to get in on this conversation. I know it seems like I am always posting here on this Forum, like some kind of "know it all", which I'm definitely not.

About a month ago I had a very similar talk to another member here via telephone about this very thing. He can confirm this if he wishes. A few years ago I had the same conversation with another member on the Astral Pulse here via a PM, as well. But he doesn't frequent this Forum that much anymore.

In my most recent phone call, I asked if this has ever happened to him before. I have had this exact thing occur with me every few months for the past 4 or 5 years now. But to me, because of me being male, it seems like my prostrate is being milked from the inside. I don't experience SP during it. I just become "ultra" aware that something really bizarre is going on and for some reason, I allow it to continue. Almost like I have been "directed" to. It usually occurs, I then soon lose consciousness and awaken in the morning totally perplexed. The memory of the event is plain as day. What happens after though, I have no idea of. My recollection is "nil"!  

Like I said above, I have been totally perplexed by this. I can only speculate what is happening here. The sensation is "ultra" real. It immediately gets my attention.
Some of the reasons I have come up with are:
#1. We all know how our physical bodies rejuvenate, regenerate and cleanse every night. Well, possibly I have a problem in that region of my body that for some reason while it is being "repaired" or "adjusted", I am becoming 100% consciously aware of it.
#2 Like Lightbeam replied above, possibly this is some kind of "Chakra adjustment". Either the "Root" Chakra, because of the location or the "Sacral" Chakra.
#3 I am being repaired or adjusted, but on some kind of higher level by "whoever" or "whatever".
#4 LOL, Anal probing by ETs!    

I have also found it is a very unique and "arousing" sensation. I wear a Sleep mask when I sleep, so I haven't actually physically looked to see if anything weird was going on. I have focused on it though in a "NP" sense, to see if anything on another realm/dimension, etc. was going on.

All I have is "could be's", but I have no definite answers to this.   I am still in the dark here!
