No worries!  Your journals haven't disappeared!

https://www.astralpulse.com/forums/dream-and-projection-journals/

You can find all of the journals in the new sub forum section. 

Yes!!!!! I was having the same difficulty as T-man as was just now finally able to access the forum board. To confirm, yup I am on Safari as well. Thanks for getting it fixed, Xanth.

Perfect!  So crazy that the problem was simply a missed "s" in the link.  haha

So now I just need to find a better theme to make the place look nicer. 

Awesome!  Things are working correctly!

   

Woot! 

Thank you for the assistance!

Got it!  I had the link on the home page which was pointing towards the forum listed as "http"... should have been "https".  The htaccess file was re-writing it for the secure connection and dropping everything else, hence taking you right back to the home page. 

Give it a shot now.  Works on my wife's iPad now.

I gave things a try.  The link for me does not take me to the forums.  Only refreshes the New Home Page.

I had a thought that it might be something Safari related.  My iPad and iPhone are using Safari and it does not work.  I said previously that the link worked on my computer which is also a Mac computer but I was using Chrome.  I just logged onto the computer to give the link a try using Safari and the link does not work.  Hmmm!

Xanth, when you did the upgrade to the new Astral Pulse software I had a lot of trouble accessing the site.  Most times it would load an error page but once in awhile I could get to the site.  It took a couple of weeks before that issue went away.  I'm hoping this issue will eventually correct itself!

I just set up two Home Screen shortcuts for now on my iPhone and iPad.  One takes me to the New Home Page.  The second takes me to the forums page.  (Hope this will only be temporary) 

It's 100% Safari related I've found.

I *THINK* it has something to do with how it reads the htaccess file, but changing that is dangerous when someone (like myself) doesn't know how it works very well.  haha

My research continues!

@tides2dust

HAHA touche!    Yes, indeed.

@T-Man

Give it a shot now?

EDIT: Nevermind, it didn't work.  I actually broke the page.  HAHA  Ok, back to the drawing board.

EDIT2: Ok, try now. 

Hmmm... ok... that gives me something to work with.

So when you're clicking the link it's sending you back to the home page.  I *THINK* I might know what's going on... but it'll have to wait since my dinner just got here.  Mmmm pizza.

Headaches aside, very cool! =)

Headaches? LoL

I like the new home page but am having troubles getting back to the forums page as the link 'The Astal Pulse Forums' on the new home page just opens the new home page again.  I had to access the forums page through an old page I found in my internet history. 

Hmm, that's odd.  It works fine for me on my phone.  I'll test it in a pc browser shortly.

Anyone else have this issue?

I've created a new homepage for The Astral Pulse.

The idea will be for myself, moderators and anyone else who wants to submit articles for publication on the home page and to give the internet a new way of accessing the Astral Pulse. 

It's a huge work-in-progress at the moment, but it should give you an idea of how it'll work.  I'm having to re-learn all of this wordpress stuff.  Not to mention that the export from my site and import to this new site caused some issues with links and strange backslash issues which means I have to go through every single page and fix it.

Bashar claims aliens will make first contact in late 2026 or early 2027. If he wasn't certain, he wouldn't give such specific predictions. So to the sceptics, reserve judgement until then😊

He says it will be the same aliens who flew over Arizona in 1997 (iirc) with a mile wide spaceship, and had thousands of witnesses. They're a type of human hybrid, but not Bashar's race.


oh lol nvm, surprised people have already mentioned this here.

I've been following a bit of Neil DeGrasse Tyson lately and in one of the videos he shared, he explained how a fourth dimensional being might appear to us three dimensional people... and it MIGHT show up just like those unexplained videos.

Just like if we were to appear to a two dimensional being as just a 2d plane / line to them going THROUGH their two dimensional plane.

I dunno, just thinking out loud now.  haha

it's the copyright strikes taking down any videos of bashar.
There's basically only one place online you can listen to him, https://www.youtube.com/@HigherMind999
this guy uploads hundreds of videos until he has to take down the channel again.  Though I have 200gb of bashar's videos myself and stream that daily😅

Oh man, think about our world if we didn't have copyright laws like that and we freely shared our knowledge with everyone else without the need to worry about the MONETARY gains/losses of sharing.   

What exactly is the mechanism that initiates the transition here?

The mechanism is the complete taking of your awareness into the scene you're creating, thus 100% ignoring the physical body senses.  Once you've cut off the physical body senses, your awareness reaches out for anything - in this case, it's the non-physical scene you're using and then the senses switch to there. 

At that point, you could either pull yourself out of body... or phase and find yourself "somewhere else". 

If you could simplify the technique as much as possible, what would it look like? With the rope technique there's the sight, feel of rope, pulling sensation, and sense of movement. Now, I'm pretty sure you could do without most of these🤔, but people still only really talk of the rope technique rather than any sort of simplified technique. I don't get what's special about it? It seems to have just about the lowest success rate of all techniques from what I've read, and I think that's because it's so complicated and costs so much mental energy just to do it correctly. It's like trying to drift off while doing mental math.

I'm only trying to simplify the "how" and "why" the rope method works - as long as it's a focus which works for you, that is.  Otherwise, no amount of doing it will help you. 

I can't be sure, but ime techniques with just one or two focus points work best, unless you're really sleepy and need more stimulation.

IME techniques?  Or was that a typo. 

But definitely, this journey of learning to project is actually a journey of self-discovery whereby YOU have to find the focus which works best for you.  It sounds like you've found it. 

If it helps, I also find that the sense of "movement" in your visualizations / with your focus work best to initiate this stuff.  ALSO, keeping a very positive mindset really helps too.  Example:  make a mental rundown of you interacting with your loved ones - that would work better than just a neutral mental rundown. 

Also Xanth I wanted to know if you're still sticking to your noticing and rundown techniques, or if you've found anything else?

I actually haven't been actively practicing for a long while now

Have you experimented with Frank's technique of simply "going up"? Something I've noticed is that all these technique (e.g. noticing/rundown/frank's/tinnitus+blackness) somehow stimulate the third eye, through feeling the location or activating it through visualization. Is this something you've thought about or noticed?

Going up?  Like the part where he's looking upwards?  No, I haven't.  Sorry.

As for the third eye, I only get that pressure if I focus on it.  Which, would make for an effective focus to use actually.  haha

OMG I love it! 

OMG, haha, I have to check that rumor, but there is always a reason why do we think certain things. Maybe he thought it must have been his own thoughts because he couldn't explain the information that was coming to him, but then he had realized this is something coming form higher sources. Sometimes we don't even understand our own experiences, we may make comments to others that may be misunderstood. But from listening to him during sessions his speech flows so well, he never have to pause even for a split second to think after questions are asked, and he goes deep into many concepts not just surface general stuff that float all over the internet.

It's funny you say that, because I go back and re-read some of my posts I make from time to time and I wonder... and it just doesn't SOUND like me.  HAHA

I have always felt somewhat of an initial, intuitive mistrust of any 'popular' channeler, but having listened to a couple Basher YT vids a few years ago, he said all the right things.

Somebody mentioned to me the rumor that he actually did start off as a fraud, but at some point, the Bashar entity realized this person's reach as a conduit to a large audience and actually 'expropriated' his channeling ability...and in effect, he became the real deal!

I don't know...haven't researched it...too many other intriguing subjects! Lol

HAHA!  Fake it, till you make it!! 

This sounds like something which could be real.  I mean, how often do we think / say something to ourselves so often that we actually begin to believe it? 

EV, I vote that you create a "Sticky" here on the Pulse based on what you posted above. It says so much and helps people to gauge their progress in the practice of "conscious" non-physical exploration.

I'll second that.  Make a new post with it and sticky that.   
I've really gotta start reading more of Kurt's stuff.  Dude is on point.

My wife and I just got back from a week of Scuba Diving the reefs around Curacao.  Beautiful country. 

The reefs, however, aren't doing so well, sadly... a good portion of them are bleaching out due to the REALLY WARM temperature of the water.  Usually corals enjoy 78F to 82F, but the water there was between 85F to 87F, most of our group didn't even wear wetsuits.

But beyond that, it was really fun and my wife got lots of great underwater pictures. 

The first is an Octopus we saw right off the beach near the end of a night dive, little guy was about hand-sized.
The second is a giant Crab we saw out in the ocean, it was about two feet wide, absolutely huge.
The last is a Seahorse we found on the reef just off the beach of our resort.  It was about three inches long.

It's been a short while since I've heard anything from Bashar... I've always been skeptical of people who "channel" like this.  But at the end of the day, if what he's saying resonates, then who am I to question it.  Helpful is helpful.  I've watched a few of his videos over the years and I'm in full agreement with you LB, they're *usually* spot on. 

Never had a NDE. Don't really want one either.  Haha

Take time out of the equation and it may be easier to understand  . And to make it even more complicated, on top of infinite dimensions, there are infinite versions of each character within a given dimension.  That's the multiverse for ya    Anything and everything exists and nothing is impossible.
Babies who are aborted or die shortly after have agreed to go through the embrio experience only, and they may have agreed to serve as a learning tool for the loved ones experiencing a loss.

I thought about that the other day... "everything exists" and "nothing is impossible".  In an infinite universe, we can safely say that anything which could happen, DOES happen.  I thought about that, and I came to the conclusion that it couldn't be like that. 

Now obviously, I could (and let's face it, probably am) be wrong... but if everything has already happened, then there's a reality out there which has figured out how to not only contact other realities, but destroy other realities as well.  There should be a reality out there which has destroyed every other reality.

Or am I overthinking things?  LoL

yep, not 100% sure, however when Dolores Cannon took people to the immediate time after death under hypnosis, the predominant experience is unconditional love, being taken to review their life that just ended to look at it from a bigger perspective, the lessons, the choices, the interactions with people, family, etc. They can make a decision on another life and make agreements with other souls who will play which role in another life, what challenges they want to set up, what lessons are still pending to be learned and set up challenges accordingly. That is from a larger spirit's perspective view where setting up challenges does not seem extreme like it would to us fragmented characters.

That's the part which always threw me for a loop and I could never reconcile it within myself.  The notion that, after we physically die and move on from here, that we can "setup" our next lives like that. 

Like, is there a queue of "spirits" sitting there waiting to "take a turn" at playing the human game?  Or what about things like abortions or babies who just happen to die for whatever reason before they're born.  Do those "spirits" then have to go back and wait in line again to be re-born?  And what about WHERE you're born and WHO you're born to?  These concepts I could never reconcile.    LoL  Sorry, mostly just thinking out loud right now. 

As I'm reading this "Lucid Dreaming" book of LaBerge's, it's obviously all about "lucid dreaming" (duh, eh?  HAHA)... however, it could just as easily be entitled "Astral Projection". 

This is why I'm so puzzled why people feel that all these different labels we use are actually different experiences.  It really floors me.  He, literally, speaks about all of the same phenomenon which we discuss here regularly.  Vibrations, sleep paralysis, etc... all of it is INDENTICAL.

I tried doing some searching on whether Stephen LaBerge worked at all with Robert Monroe.  I know Monroe worked with a lot of these people, but I can't seem to find anything about LaBerge working with Monroe or TMI.

I think those people are tired of just "hearing about" the "New Earth", that so many New Agers feel is coming. Now they are attempting to do their best and "force it" to come through. The problem I have always had with the "New Earth" becoming our new reality is that it would soon be "tainted" and corrupted just like this Earth is, that is if we in our current forms and even knowledge of our history of it, would be the ones dwelling on this new Earth. New Earth to me would seem to occur after some major cataclysm wipes out humanity and the mass exodus of souls is sent or requests to immediately start over again. To me there needs to be some kind of "reset" to make that occur. 

I couldn't agree more with you.

Humans needs to fundamentally shift our entire perception towards, not only the Earth, but how we interact with each other too.  Empathy needs to re-enter our perceptual lives if things are to be helped. 

I've always said that permanent change will not happen until some cataclysmic problem occurred to humanity.  Anything less than that doesn't seem to phase humans very much out of their drunken stupor of Capitalist life.

A hug and I hope you find the motivation very soon to explore the wonders of consciousness again. There is still much to discover.

Thank you, Tak, for the kind words of encouragement!  I'm certainly not going to stop, but progress is going to be made slowly, no doubt.  haha

Yeah, apparently, this stuff ISN'T like riding a bike. 

Yes THC suppresses dreaming. It has something to do with altering brain function, at least that's what research shows, but I have also  heard from several people who confirm they rarely dream.

On the other hand, if you feel content with the knowledge you have already acquired you don't need to push harder.

That's the strange part, I have no problem dreaming when high.  Odd.  I have epic dreams most nights, the issue is taking the time upon waking to remember everything.  When I'm not high, I take the time to wake up slowly usually.  When I'm high, I just wake up and immediately forget everything.  haha

I had a funny experience the other night... I tried falling asleep lying on my back, which I never do.  People seem to report a lot of strange occurrences happening when they do that.

Well, for me... mine was that when I woke up that night, I found myself kneeling down beside my side of the bed.  Strange.  haha

You and me both!  I stopped actively practicing a good ten years ago... deciding to get back into it.
Right now I'm suffering through some restless leg syndrome crap which is making it VERY HARD to sit still or even fall asleep.  Working through it though!  I'm giving up coffee for a while to see if that's the trigger - soooooooo sleeepy now.  haha

I've actually decided to go the opposite route and work on "lucid dreams" - which I identify as being actual projections.  I'm going to use this to prove it actually.  I've been reading Stephen LaBerge's Lucid Dreaming book.  Loving it so far. 

I wanted to give a small update on my progress.

There isn't much!!  HAHA

I find I don't really have the drive or motivation to do this anymore.  One month has yielded two very short lucid/astral awareness experiences.  I've been mostly, trying Stephen LaBerge's MILD technique mixed with reality state checks.

The first was about 20 seconds in length.  My state check was looking at my hands, which always works for me.  I immediately had a strong desire to run outside and fly though, which I had to stop myself from doing.  I then went to stabilize and strengthen the connection, so I began to feel around trying to bring my awareness more there.  There was a fish tank which I dunked my hands into, and it felt so f'ing real.  I then started to move out of the room and I woke up.  Bleh.

The second bout of lucidity (it WAS a lucid awareness for sure) only lasted about 5 seconds.  I did a state check looking at my hands, I remember being amazed that what I was experiencing was a dream because it really didn't seem it.  If my hands hadn't melted in front of my eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. 

But yeah, that's it.  I'm half-assedly trying to initiate these things, but without the motivation... it's certainly not easy.

I'll tell ya that THC really doesn't help the mix.  HAHA
