wow and WOW! Scrying? Can you provide any material(s) about Scrying? It is the first time I even hear about this and tbh I a little bit regretted that I asked about it right after as I thought it might have been taken as a joke (though I was very serious.) So it exists! I'll search Scrying here too. What are your experiences with it? Is there a reason you only practiced it in the past? Of course only reply if it's not of a private matter.
" From Wikipedia:
Scrying, also known by various names such as "seeing" or "peeping", is the practice of looking into a suitable medium in the hope of detecting significant messages or visions. The objective might be personal guidance, prophecy, revelation, or inspiration, but down the ages, scrying in various forms also has been a prominent means of divination or fortune-telling.[1] It remains popular in occult circles, discussed in many media, both modern and centuries old."

 Scrying can be done using a black mirror,  Crystal ball, even a bowl of water or oil. I used a black mirror. Nostradamus was known to use a bowl of clear water and what he called his "Magick Mirror".
I guess it was one of the pieces of the puzzle/pathway that led me to my current practice here with Phasing. The only difference I see now is that with Phasing, my eyes are closed.  

QuoteYes, Martial Arts teach mental discipline in a very unique way. Maybe I should just implement that kind of attention into phasing, thanks for the hint :)
Cheers
Yes that's a great idea. Use your training. Xanth himself is a teacher, a Sensei of Martial Arts.

Thanks! I think the second one would be more appealing for me. So what you basically saying by fighting the urge to readjust our eyes equals with trying to keep our eyes completely still during the whole time?
It's a challenge to do, but like everything else in this practice, it gets easier with time. While Phasing when I fight the urge successfully, I immediately get the first real "pull" or should I say "evidence" of a shift occurring.
QuoteOnce when I practiced Zhan Zhuang (Tree stance in internal martial arts) - I tried to watch at one direction without even blinking for long minutes. The whole landscape started to be a mess after about 2-3 minutes, I wonder what would happen if we tried to phase out with open eyes?
Phasing with open eyes is known as "Scrying". I was a practitioner of that years ago as well. That's what was likely that taught me the "discipline" to be able to do it still today.

One very important thing that all forms of Martial Arts teach is "mental discipline". Being able to learn to control "yourself" in any situation is always beneficial to your well being!  :-)

 For a few weeks now, I have been working on techniques quicken my process of attaining a good deep NP focus. I have dropped all my other steps and focused on just this one now.

I get into the water (my bathtub), to do my Phase session, I close my eyes and immediately focus on the darkness before them. I then become aware of the black blank screen before them. I begin by focusing on the center of the dark screen I see. I then become aware of directional pointers about 10 feet in front of me. I see these pointers as facing outwards from the directions of up/down/left and right or what you could call North/South/East and West. These pointers are at the outer limits of peripheral vision, pointing outwards.

At first, my eyes are fighting to follow my focus, but that soon changes. After a few minutes of strengthening these visuals, I will myself forward towards them, until I am in the center of the directional markers/pointers. They are still are still there though, it's just that now I have to focus totally on that particular direction to sense them, which in turn leads to a "etheric/tactile sensation. This is really hard to explain. But I am sure you know what I mean. At least those that have experienced the 3D dark zone, aka the Void.

During this process, my physical eyes will want to readjust and follow the chosen directions. I fight the urge and keep my focus on the center of the screen. After a few minutes I am well into the "depth" of the darkness and ready to create a intent for the session.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I see that there are some new members here now that wish to learn to go deeper with this practice. Yesterday and today I took a walk down my own memory lane and kind of rehashed some of the things I did in the past when I was newer to this practice myself. One of them that for some reason I dropped was to focus on a sign in front of me that said "Training Grounds or Training Zone". At first it was very hard to visual, but after awhile just focusing on it and "knowing" it was there, was enough for it to finally manifest before me.

In many of my earlier experiences I constantly found myself in some kind of teaching or school setting. I was taught "depth perception". I was taught how to "passively observe", a kinds of lessons. Each of these lessons was beneficial and at times crucial to furthering my development in with this practice. Once I even found myself in a school room with other "beings". There was a blackboard in front of us and behind that blackboard was the Astral Plane. I had to pass what ever test I was given to be able to bypass the blackboard, leading to the Astral Worlds that lied beyond it. I wrote about this here years ago using my former name here "Lionheart". That account is now closed, which means my former profile can't be found. (If your interested though you could use the Forum search engine on the words "Astral School" to see what you can find)
Edit: I just found one of them in a search myself.
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_projection_experiences/astral_school-t34301.0.html

So just focusing on simple little wooden sign, whatever kind of sign you wish, a "Doorway",  :wink:, with the words "Training Grounds or Zone", can open up to some very beneficial experiences. You have actually set "intent" as well. Make it as real as you can. See each letter clearly. See the material that it is written on. Once you have that visual vivid, you can become slowly pan your focus out and see what kind of scene there is to see.
Don't get discouraged if you can't see anything. Just know that sign is there and it will reveal itself. This is a great focus target. The deeper you focus on this, the further away your focus on your physical body will be.

This not only works good with new members and those that are new to Astral Travel. It also works for people that are experienced. A Training Zone or Training Ground is just what it says, but it doesn't necessarily say that you are on the "ground floor". Each level of development could contain it's own Training Ground. Sometimes doing simple focuses like this are enough to "refuel" or jumpstart your teaching again. The lack of "experienced Members" here at the Astral Pulse shows me that something is waning. Either it's a lack of passion or some kind of block that got in the way. Then again, it could be a "been there done that" thing and they have lost their interest all together. Don't ever get locked into the thinking that now you know all there is that is needed to know here and for that, you don't practice anymore. I believe and have been shown that once you think you 'know" it all and have the answers, the "teachings" themselves stop then and there.

 Last night I watched a fantastic video on youtube called "Forbidden Knowledge Discoveries That Reveal the True Purpose of Ancient Temples". The entire video was 1:34:24 minutes long. I know that in this day and age, with the "Now generation", that sitting down to watch a lengthy video like that doesn't compute. Take it as watching a Movie then.

The video could have been called "Ancient Astral Projection" because that's exactly what was occurring in it. There are so many tips hidden in that video. So many things that we have talked about on the Astral Pulse Forum in one way or the other. Freddy Silva did a masterful job with his delivery of this Ancient knowledge. He explained many of the rituals found in the Ancient (Egyptian) Mystery School teachings.

He showed how many of these Ancient temples and sites were based on manipulation of frequency, as seen in the Hypogeums in Malta and other Ancient temples of the World. He showed how many of the Ancients were masters themselves when it came to Archaeoaccoustics and Archaeoastronomy.

At the 35 minute mark he showed how the some of these Temple designs were created as "fear tests" and as challenges in "humility and ego".  Things that we in this practice must learn to control to further our own practice. Archeologists also found traces of "Narcotic concoctions" that would be used for what they was termed "Living resurrection rituals", aka OBEs/NDEs.

At around the 52 minute mark he spoke of "Metaphysical Defleshing", which we here know to be a "dissassociative focus" from our physical bodies.

Todays' naysayers say that the Ancient Temples were "burial sites" and yet, no bodies were found in them, although a treasure trove of Gold and others riches were. His question being "How many Grave robbers do you know that would take the body but leave the Gold and treasure behind untouched?" Good question. I would love to hear the answers to that one, lol!

He found evidence that the Ancients were very proficient in the Art of NDEs and OBEs, everywhere, in many different cultures. Amazingly those cultures being separated by thousands of miles and even oceans.

They didn't have the same "priorities" we have today. That's why it's so hard for modern many to understand all of this. Our World today is built on constant distractions. I speak to other Authors of Meditation/OBEs occasionally and listen to others in Radio interviews that are saying how hard it is to teach these days, simply because people expects that results "yesterday". They don't do the work because it takes too long.

Here's a link to this fantastic video. See for yourself, there are metaphors found for Ancient Astral Projection everywhere in this video.

Hello All,

I have downloaded and read the book and it is really good. Although (maybe because of linguistic reasons, I am Hungarian) I find it quite difficult to get to Focus 12. I am sure something is not quite right wih the mental aspect of the process, with the recognition part, the mental deepening. Physically I think I can relax myself quite efficiently.  Are there any updates/breakouts since it was done regarding what I have written here. Thanks in advance :)
I have found two sure fire ways to get to what people call Focus 12 or the void rather quickly. One is too completely disassociate yourself from your physical body. The other is to learn how to see with your "Mind's eye" instead of your physical eyes.

The first one "disassociation" can be done in a number visualize yourself "unzipping" your Human suit. You can use affirmations. Any kind of focus that shows that you are "leaving" your physical vessel will work. You can't look back though until you get better with this practice. That requires the ability to hold a "dual focus", which is quite challenging. In the beginning, you need to bite in like a Pitbull and don't let go until you are ready to return.

The second one, seeing with the Mind's eye happens when You fight the urge to readjust your eyes while you are noticing. It's hard to explain, but during the "noticing" the darkness before your eyes, you will experience a impulse to readjust your vison. After you have fought that urge and stayed the course, of noticing in this case, you will find that the darkness you are seeing, has taken on a deeper level of depth. Hence the term associated with Focus 12, "3D darkness or the "void".

I recognized the vibrations and thought to myself "this is it, go" and I immediately shot straight out of my body, through the ceiling into the dark night sky!
I personally found this to be a crucial "no no". I can't tell you how many times I have awaken in mild or full SP or was in a Phase session when I thought "here we go" and the next thing I knew, it was over. For me personally I found that that was a "projection killer". Why, I don't know, but it took many failed experiences for me to finally see where I went wrong. I have heard other members through the years here at this Forum say the same thing as well.

Now when I find myself "ready to exit", I will just create a intent or just "trust" where I am supposed to be going or experiencing. I completely release my control over it and just observe. No overthinking, no expectations, I just keep in my mind, "take me to your desired destinations, show me what I need to see, teach me what I need to learn".

I was suddenly fully aware that my life on Earth was a decision I had made, that it was an experience I chose to have, but wasn't my natural state. I was overwhelmed with compassion for everyone and made a decision to return to this experience and see it through.

When I came back to my body, I had several revelations about my existence. I knew that this world was just an experience, I knew that life wasn't confined to this experience. I had a deep sense of caring for my wife, children and family, and felt that I had a responsibility to help assist them with their own experiences here. The next few days really impacted me the most. For three days I had the most intense feeling of euphoria I've ever experienced.

I was so absolutely relieved, and honestly felt the weight of the world I normally carried on my shoulders was simply gone. I understood that all the things that I worry about all the time were truly unimportant, and that kindness and love were what really mattered.

Before this occurred, I had struggled with depression my whole life. I've fought suicidal thoughts, and believe I've stuck around this long a lot of times for other people, but truly agonized over the depression. That all went away completely after that night. I truly believe I've been a better husband, father and friend since. It had a profound effect on me.

One last odd thing, for several weeks after the event, when I closed my eyes I could for lack of a better term, adjust my focus and start the see the darkness open up begin to see stars and at least it felt as though I was almost able to exit this reality and go back to the state I was in during the experience, but some noise or distraction would always pull me back to my body.

It seems your eyes are opening now and you are ready to see and learn anew.

Many of the lessons that we get in the NPR (non physical realms/Otherworlds) open our eyes to new truths. When we are ready to finally accept them, they reveal themselves.
Take a look at this thread I created to understand a bit more on that. I have seen and learnt things in the NPR that have completely turned my World upside down.

 Hello and welcome to the Astral Pulse Lowlight!  :-)

Many people will experience these brief "sneak peeks". They are the fuel to fire up your interest for more. Now it's up to you to either see it further or just be content with what you already experienced. In the case that you wish to see it further, the real "teachings" will commence.
#1234
 Outofbodydude, I find your Meditation tracks to be quite good.

I do have to say though Thread Killer that I found that ASMR tapping to be quite annoying after awhile. Although I will say this man is very adept at his chosen Craft.

I have always preferred background accompanying music in my Binaural Beats and Isochronic Tones. That's probably why I latched onto Paul Collier and DJ Vishnu's work so deeply.

The Meditation tracks from both of those gentlemen can be found via a YouTube or Google search.

You're essentially going a variation on the noticing exercise, but just more "visual" as you're not closing your eyes.
Yes, in a way, it reminds me of "Scrying".

Interesting find. There is also a book as I found out by (very) quick search.
"Afterlife, Interrupted: Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over—A Catholic Priest Explores the Interrupted Death Experience"

You can read his forword in the preview. Good that he says he does not want to teach catholic doctrines or convert anyone. Interesting man indeed. He does not seem to use AP though in a traditional way, does he? He says they seek him out in dreams but then he also seems to converse with them clairvoyant/audiently in waking state, as far as I see it from the first chapter. Here it is:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0692187537/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1539311567&sr=1-1#reader_0692187537
He spoke quite a bit about this book in his interviews as well.
https://nathan-castle.com/product/and-toto-too-the-wizard-of-oz-as-a-spiritual-adventure/

I sent him a email. We will see if he responds. I have some questions for him. He not only constantly helps those in need in the "NP", he also does it here on a daily basis in this physical realm. I was reading some of his experiences on is website. He went to Oklahoma to aid in the recovery of that devastating Tornado there. He also went to Joplin, MO to aid in their Tornado devastation. He is a true "Saint" at heart!  :-) 8-)

Well... I think it's very simple to just watch yourself. But the letting go is tougher. You have to retain a tiny piece of awareness awake... kinda sorta hide in this little piece of lucidity. And if you can carry it after most of your brain is asleep you can come forward then and slip out. I also think there is a sticky membrane that at first glues our astral and physical bodies together. You have to loosen up this membrane over time so you can quickly exit.
It is indeed a "balancing act". But, it's achievable. The more you experience it, the deeper your "own" control over and during the experience, will be.
I say it like the band 38 Special says it, "hold on loosely, but don't let go"!  8-) Once you learn to do this, you will find many "Doorways" opening in front of you!

I enjoyed reading your experiences Shineling!  8-) I won't try to dissect them though. Only "you" know or will soon learn their true meaning!  :wink:

 Last week I listened to a fantastic Radio interview featuring a man named Father Nathan Castle. For 25 years now he has helped over 250 people/souls that died suddenly due to traumatic events, adjust to their current afterlife. As being a "Man of the Cloth", he "perceives" this through the grace of God, which means his descriptions will contain a lot of religious overtones. That didn't bother me though, I always maintain a open mind to new teachings, regardless of where they come from.
After hearing that 2 hour interview on the radio, I went to look his name up on YouTube and enjoyed all of his material there.

I perceive what I do via Retrievals in a different way then Father Nathan, but we each share the same goals though.

Here is a link to his website. I'm sure you will find him fascinating, like I did.

For even more videos interviews by him, you can search his name on Youtube.

 I have wanted to create this post for a long time now. I have stated in the past that one of the reasons that I created my Doorway thread here on the Astral Pulse was to help people prepare for a upcoming event. I guess prepare was the wrong word here, it's more like learn to access a way to communicate with our "friends". My goal was to keep opening Doorways as a collective until finally a answer came through loud and clear.

In the past few years we have been given little Disclosure tid-bits, starting with a interview with Robert Bigelow that the television show 60 Minutes did back in May 2017.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saoqXA2Ink0

Later in the year, the New York Times did a article on the Pentagon's secret UFO program known as "A.A.T.I.P" (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program). Supposedly there were/are some high level Gov't officials that didn't want a study of this nature because they thought these were Demons, not ET visitors. They felt that a investigation may lead to more of a Demonic presence here on Earth. Yes, I am not making that up folks!  :roll:
You can read about it in this article here if you are new to this news.
http://www.educatinghumanity.com/2017/12/ufo-alien-disclosure-is-real.html
The article also shared some live radar imaging of actual UAP's in flight. It seems like they needed a way to make the topic more "real" and not laughed at, so they changed the classification from UFOs to UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon).

The press ate it up and actually took it seriously. You could find Fox News, CNN, ABC, CBS, etc all talking about it. But it was short lived.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1TCrs8GZDk
... and cue this "twit"!  :roll:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7rYRGbsMW0
To which a person commenting in the comment section said this "This is the perfect example of how social pressures hinder scientific progress." So true, so true!

The trail went cold for a few years until recently. A new article emerged that was leaked. It supposedly came from the personal archives of the late Edgar Mitchell. Edgar was a huge proponent of further UFO research. Unfortunately he didn't get to see the new revelations that were shown to us in the past few years. Did he give instructions that after his death someone in his trust was supposed to finally leak his information to the World? That is only speculation, but it would make sense to me.
Here is a link to this to info on this new leak, The second link goes right to the actual Transcript, so you can view it in it's entirety. Love him or hate him, it seems that Steven Greer was telling the truth. Although he still seems quite egotistical to me. Recently in the comments section of a article on Disclosure and poster posted this. From what I have seen and heard, I agree with him. "Steven Greer has got caught up in himself, he just thinks that he knows more than all of us know on the topic and somehow he's more enlightened and entitled to the information. He's become someone who's lost in what he knows" and how he knows it "and has made his own belief system, and does not care what anyone else thinks anymore. He believes he knows the truth" and the rest of us live in the darkness" and it's made his perception on the whole topic kind of blurry you can say in my opinion. It was always about disclosure, but once they TOLD him what was what" he decided to be apart of that game and play that game with them."

Enter "To the Stars Academy". https://dpo.tothestarsacademy.com/
...and now the new series on the History Channel titled "Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation.

I watched the first season, it was a 6 part season. The first 4 episodes were based on actual interviews with the US Navy Pilots that saw the craft. The 5th was based on UFOs and Nuclear Power Plants and Military Installations. The finale, was interesting. They had a meeting with the Italian Gov't where they were told of the Research that the Italian Military had done. The Italian Gov't was completely open and honest. The Americans though kept on saying we can't comment. That was annoying. You heard the same "can't comment" on every episode of the show.
https://www.history.com/shows/unidentified-inside-americas-ufo-investigation

The one thing that they did push though was that this was a "THREAT" to us. I heard a interview a few years back with Tom Delonge on the "Joe Rogan" show, whereas Tom kept saying "they" were a threat. Joe made Tom look like a fool in that interview though.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n_3mnJfHzY

Just recently in two different interviews, Donald Trump was asked about UFOs. In the first interview he said he doubted it was true. The most recent interview was Friday night July 5th on the Tucker Carlson show where the President said he doubted it, but ended the interview with "who knows and I am a open minded guy."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDom6wNYb9w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud7cE6FozPo

I hate hearing this is a threat. They also say that if whoever gets the real info first, would have a huge advantage over their "adversaries". Which is likely why our " ET friends' aren't sharing it with them.
A person in a article of UFOs and the question of whether they are a threat or now said "When "they" (the ETs) nuke a country, not once, but twice, I will consider them a threat. Until then, I know who the real threats are". I second that quote.

It seems that many people outside of the UFO community don't really care about all this new info. A new story comes out and "crickets".

Just recently I heard a interview with Dr. Steven Greer whereas he did say one thing I truly agree with. He said "It's time to take it out of the World's Gov'ts hands and do something about it ourselves". What can we do? Well, many of us know that contact with other beings can be made via Astral Projection. Dr. Greer has his own CE5 meditation protocol that many groups of people around the World have participated in. We just had Independence Day July 4th in the US a few days ago. On that day, millions of people stood under the stars watching Fireworks displays. I wonder what would happen if we got that same millions of people out under the stars to do a group collective conscious meditation welcoming our "friends" here once and for all to reveal themselves to us in mass. I hear how Facebook and Social Media sites can be used to access/round up a number of people. Why not just try this, just for let's say "shts and giggles". Who knows, it just might work!

Thank You!  :-)

 Luffy, for some reason, you seem to be neglecting your "Internal Clock". Perhaps that's what is being taught to right now. You can't rely on "tech" itself to project.

Common sense would tell me that if I wanted to awaken during the night, I would do something to interrupt my sleep pattern. That something is as easy as drinking a good amount of water or eating a heavy snack before you go to bed. That will fill your bladder or in case of the snack, force your digestive system into action. A full bladder with force you to awaken long enough to empty it, which in turn gives you a chance to AP. Your body will already be well relaxed at that point, so will your mind. You can then implement any of the AP techniques that you wish to use. There are a number of them to be found here in this Sub Forum. Just pick the one you feel comfortable with and have at it.
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness-b30.0/

I don't awaken to a alarm clock at all anymore. I program my mind with intent before I go to sleep. Many times I will awaken a few minutes before my chosen time. At first, I used a alarm clock as a back up though. But like with anything else with this practice and other goal in "life" itself in general, you can learn to achieve it. Practice, Patience and Perseverance are the keys to success with any goal you wish to achieve.

 My condolences on your loss Plasma!  :-(

This new article on Yahoo's main page might help you see things in a different "light".

Do not just read the article, the real healing is in the comment section below it. Many people there also are sharing either their own or a loved one's experience with NDEs as well.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/woman-died-27-minutes-writes-161046083.html

The heading should say, "Women who died for 27 minutes writes a "awe inspiring" note after she is resuscitated".  The word "chilling" is not what I would have used.

I'm very motivated to practice now. I'll make sure to report back when I have interesting progress, although it might take some time.
Sometimes just simply showing that interest will result in a "sneak peek" of what could be!  :-)

My first successful conscious Phasing experience came as the result of watching a video on "Candle staring", then immediately applying what I saw in said video. The result being my first "sneak peek", which turned out to be a lasting one! I was hooked then and there!  :-)

 Thank you Madmagus!

Madmagus, I am a Sagittarius as well.

It looks like you have a great grip on what's what here. You have been tuned all your life to follow this path. Now that you are here, forget everything you have heard about other's experiences. Drop all your "expectations" and just go "observe". Take in what you are given. Don't questions it now. Just observe and report. That way you can develop and find tune a technique to achieve success in this Art that is tailor made for you. Take everything you have learned as kind of a blueprint. But in the end, it is "you" that builds the house!  :wink:

I am deeply sorry to hear about MJ, Lumaza! I hope she knows through you that her journey will continue. Of course for our physical personalities is much harder to comprehend such occurrences. Years ago I tried multiple times healing my dad. I was in full blown APs, fully alert, I found him, I saw within his body the problems. I started energy treatment and shortly after his energy pushed me away, like an invisible blast. I understood immediately, but I refused to accept that his NP personality had already made a decision and was not allowing external interference. I was devastated and kept trying and every time the same happened.
Thank you Lightbeam. I am happy to see that you understand this. I constantly get blocked from trying to help people I know here. It's weird though, I experience Retrievals all the time, even when I attempt to aide MJ or a great friend of mine in Oklahoma that is suffering from acute memory loss.
Just the other day, I awoke in in a mild SP. I made my intent as I awaited the exit. My intent was to help MJ and the whole episode ended then and there. I find all kinds of roadblocks and obstacles. when I try to help someone that on a higher level doesn't wish the help. Many times I find myself "diverted" to a whole different situation or experience.
In MJ's case though, I was "told", point blank what the situation really is. So, I find myself helping total strangers in Retrievals, yet I am  blocked from helping people I care about. That doesn't seem fair, but that's just the way it is!

Thanks for the responses.  I'll certainly read the link, Lumaza.  I agree that focus is critical.  Do you feel that extended work with the imagination is giving us a similar experience to being in the dream realm, thus strengthening our connection to it, and that we become more overtly conscious of dreams, while dreaming, because of this?  Interesting take if so.
Yes, I do. A deep Phase/self Hypnosis, meditative state will take you to a Dream realm experience if you "allow" it to. I put the word "allow" in quotation marks because that is a very important part of Aping. Learning to "allow" what's going to happen, losing all expectations and just "going with the flow" and lastly passively observing all, until you know the time is right to engage in the experience, I feel, are all pertinent parts to this whole practice in general. That all comes from constant practice, learning how to hone your skills. Just like with everything else we wish to learn about in life, this takes practice, patience and perseverance. To experience a full OBE exit, become aware in a Dream or even have a successful Phase session wherein you find yourself in a realm as vivid as this physical one and sometimes even more vivid. All of those things are among the most incredible experience a person can have.  Going even deeper and learning how to have those experiences repeatedly opens up doors that you never knew existed.  :-)

QuoteTo extend my original point, when I read about perceptions people have about Mindfulness, people seem to believe that just being aware of your awareness is enough (perhaps it is speaking purely spiritually).  But I never found this to be sufficient when it comes to lucid dreaming.  If it were, I think many more people would find themselves LDing all the time, seeing that millions are working on their mindfulness.  So many LD teachers love to say "just be present during the day, and you'll be present in your dreams."  Well, we can all see how well that advice works for LDers, if forums are any indication.
I know this won't make sense to you, but not everyone has "agreed" to become conscious in their Dreams, at all levels of their being. That last part is important "at all levels of their being". I have worked with people on a constant basis here in their achieving some level of "non local/ordinary states of consciousness. That name was penned by "Stanislov Grof". He has great youtube videos, just search his name. Another master in the field is "Robert Moss". to find out more about these two gentlemen, use the search engine on the upper right hand corner of you page here. Just type their names in box, push search and you will find all the conversations we have had here about them on the Astral Pulse Forums.
Back to my comment above now. I have found through working with many people that on the outside, let's call it the "physical side", they want and strive to find success in this practice. But at a deeper level, they are being "blocked". They don't know why, but many times this block will halt any type of successful experience they could have.

My better half, MJ, made it known to me years ago that she wants to put her head down on her pillow and have the next thing be her awaking refreshed and ready for another day. She doesn't want to remember her Dreams. She just wants to go to sleep and then wake up to the next day. I have a few friends that I see every year at my shows that talk to me about their constant bouts with Sleep Paralysis. I tell them to just observe it all and see it through and they will soon find themselves exiting their bodies. They won't have any of that talk. They are terrified of their SP. Every time they have it it always leads to fear scenarios. If they could learn to bypass that "fear", they will find that a treasure trove awaits them. I have been talking to them about this annually for about 4 years though and they still are experiencing their SP induced  "night terrors".

As I have found, awaking on a regular basis consciously aware in your Dreams is not always a good thing. Many times I have found that my LD/nocturnal experiences, have a huge effect on the next waking day. There are times that I awaken in the morning here in the physical and need to get my "bearings". I don't know what reality I am in. Whatever my last experience was that I was conscious of during my Dream simulation, it was so close to my physical real time life here that when I awake I was confused.

Another thing that I think could be a big reason for people not becoming Lucid in their Dreams or even having success in this field in general is that are many things you will learn that will have a profound effect on your current mindset. Not everyone is ready for that in their lives at the moment. Many of the authors of LDing, Astral Projecting and even meditation can tell you how it changed their lives completely. Once again, not everyone is ready for that change.

I can refer you to another thread I wrote here that really sums it up.

Three years later, MJ is still with me here. The Doctors can't understand it. They gave her 8-12 months to live. Chemo and radiation were only going to possibly prolong her life for a few months more. She refused both of them on the grounds that they weren't going to "cure" it.
Her cancer is back with a vengeance now and will soon take her life. I was told this months ago while in a Phase session, even before we went back to see the Doctors again. I also was told that I can't do anything about it, so I shouldn't even try. To stay or go has always been "her" decision. On the outside, her physical side, she is fighting with all she has. I know what the "inside" has already decided though. So I have been trying to make her time remaining here as comfortable and happy as I can. Just a few days ago we got a new Maltese puppy. MJ's smiles and happiness were priceless. There are many many people that would not understand that kind of thinking or mindset.

I think the brain wave frequency is upper level theta instead of alpha before one can consider attempting an exit... So I was searching for a way to lower the brain wave frequency to upper level theta without falling asleep...  binaural beats have no influence on me at all... it is just noise
Just curious, what kind of "influence" did you expect the Binaural beats to have on you?

You say it's just "noise" to you. If you put your focus completely on that "noise" and hold it there, you will reach the upper level delta that you are asking for. Not only will focusing on the noise work, but any other focus target that takes you away from your immediate "physical focus" will work as well. The key is in learning to "passively observe" all that you see and feel and learning to "allow" yourself to delve deeper.
Peruse through a few of the great Stickies we have in this section and you will see what I mean!   :-)

 The way to strengthen your LD awareness is to learn how to extend and hold on to a thought or focus. This all begins through the act of "imagination".

In the thread I created called "The Doorway", found at his link, I show you how to do just that.
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness/the_doorway-t46013.0.html

Being "aware" in general all the time is very important. Unfortunately, these days people seem to be too busy or pre-occupied with or by their personal devices, that they don't know what is going on around and sometimes even inside of themselves. When you are aware and "observe" what is happening, you can see and understand the "whys" as well  This helps you react to whatever is occurring in a calm and rational manner, no matter what the situation may be. That also trains you how to act and react to any NP situations you may find yourself as well, especially "Retrievals".
