Does it all just end? Maybe, and maybe quite fast. I mean, I know a person that experienced death(not once) and he told me there was only darkness, coldness and loneliness.. nothing less, nothing more. Scary, isn't it?

In my opinion there is no way that could be true for everyone, we build our own hell! If we decide to waste this life in darkness and turmoil then it will probably carry on to future lives until we spiritually grow and see no need for that sort of mentality. I know many have seen trapped souls or demons in the astral: beings that are filled with negativity and if we are negative and live in fear they will come to us as well. The same goes for pure darkness, though I find it comforting at times when I experience it while shifting to the non physical. So maybe it's all perspective and letting go of fear.

What are aliens supposed to look like? Little green men? The term alien refers to beings of a different planet or world, so reall the astral is filled with "aliens".

Many years ago I made he mistake of conjuring this wave of emery you talk about to try to relax me and project, it did the opposite. I feel like energy work is a different ball field then attempting to shift the focus of your mind to the non physical. It's still an accomplishment, but having vibrations isn't really forced it just happens, vague as it sounds.

I tried the video but in it made my eyes start falling asleep after a few minutes. I will try it again when I am not so tired. I honestly don't feel like I have the lifestyle to practice much, that is why I quit many times in the past. I work so much and don't get into bed till midnight or one and wake up early in the morning and have a hard time falling back asleep or practicing relaxation techniques. When I wake in the morning my attention is devoted to my three year old then off to work.

I am not using life as an excuse to AP, just that I have a hard time keeping my mind focused and my body relaxed. Maybe I should take a step back and practice relaxing my body. Also, last night I was listening to storm sounds (my favorite binaural beats) and drifted off into a day dream of a relaxing cottage in the storm. I did not completely step into the scene. Would this be a good technique to phase or is my mind straying too far?

Also, the problem isn't that I have never phased, though I don't remember it too vividly. I often get that feeling in the morning when I drift back to sleep when everything vibrates for a split second and it feels like you are dropping in mid air. I think my problem there is processing all of my dreams in the morning and only remember three or so, the rest are faded. It's like dream recall overload.

I have an older version of iPhone and use "astral dreams" from the App Store. I have experimented with different ones and think this one offers more detail. Read the instructions that come with it as it briefly describes he different frequencies. For me, I find that binaural beats can be too overwhelming sometimes so I don't use it too often. It helps me relax and concentrate but I have yet have an OBE with them.

There are hardly coincidences. I constantly wake up a minute before the alarm goes off (I am grateful because who likes to be unpleasantly startled). I know many people who do this too who aren't big on new age beliefs. Everyone has psychic ability as corny as that sounds. Actually the term psychic is pretty lame, I prefer to consider the fact that some of us are more tuned into what's happening around us. Try not to think of it as past, present, future. We are only in the here and now.

I think it's difficult to interpret other people's dreams, especially when you know nothing about them and their childhood. I believe many recurring childhood dreams have to do with the child's fears, insecurities, and wishes among other things. I had many recurring childhood dreams that I did not remember I had until the next time I dreamt them but I never analyzed them too far.

Maybe it had to do with your future. I started writing my dreams in middle school, after a close friend committed suicide I went back and found recurring symbols in past dreams of people dying at their own hand. I was so angry that I had not seen this tragedy coming when's dreams spelled it out for me.

I am also interested in people's insights on this kind if experience. I too have had has conscious OBE's that end up being taken over by dream like story lines and I struggle to become lucid. It's like we are bombarded with all these symbols from our subconscious.

I am another one of those "I have been trying to project for years and have failed" people, except I admit that I do not practice for a long period of time without giving up for a little while. More recently this year I have remembered spontaneous OBE's while sleeping. My memory of them is foggy like dreams, though it seems more like I'm in F1. For example, I was wondering around my kitchen early one morning while sleeping, checkking a loaf of bread on top of my fridge. I was checking to see If it had mold yet and if I should throw it out. It looked perfect. Later that day in my waking state I checked the loaf of bread and it was covered in mold, that is when I remembered the OBE.

So last night I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. I tried to induce an OBE. It was hard for me to relax but finally I started getting very strong vibrations and It felt like my mind was ascending into an odd feeling. I know I was almost in the astral consciously. The vibrations were a little uncomfortable and my mental capacity felt overloaded. I ended up trying to extinguish the phasing all together and going back to sleep because I was exhausted. At this point I feel frustrated, not just because I have been trying so much but when I get close I come to this mental and physical block like the feeling when your leg is asleep and you can't stand it. I think last night I was reminded of the actual feeling is to begin to phase. Does anyone have any pointers? If I wake up in the middle of the night should I keep trying? I have tried during the day and that is near impossible. Also, is it possible that I did project last night but was a victim of the mind split and how can I overcome this?

I was just discussing this with someone else this morning, which is funny. Ever since I started getting into working "magick" or just channeling energy I guess you could say, I see the little dots too. I figured I was just seeing this energy that I started to learn to harness and use for my intention. I also wonder If this could be the same thing as particles or atoms. I don't normally see them unless I try to "read between the lines" while looking around. It actually makes drinking unbearable sometimes. I will have one beer when my vision will get sort of blurry and be distracted by these little dots.

Interesting input, but maybe you don't realize then many have different views on what meditation really is.
I was hiking in the Lasal National Forest yesterday. You could say I was doing some "soul searching", and was really looking to connect with the source of all things-experience a connectivity with the universe. Is this not meditating? Who says you have to sit in a corner and close your eyes and think of complete nothing to meditate? Okay a lot of people do, but it's complete BS.

I will add to the above: I honestly don't think you should see these "realms" as separate places. Instead, think of everything as apart of a whole. The separate realms are only different aspects of the entire universe. They can mirror each other, or even build upon each other. We are all pieces of a whole, and i know I'm being vague but many mystics claim that the astral world and physical realm overlap each other. The astral is a replica of the physical but do not govern the same laws. I believe this could be possible, and could definitely explain the sightings of ghosts or other non-physical entities, but who knows for sure. Honestly I am not sure if these ghosts are people who died and are stuck from moving on because unresolved business or disbelief, or negative thought forms left on from the past. Maybe both, but as i said-who knows...

Maybe i should start paying attention to the world more now that planned prophecy is coming near?

I am in the middle of this book and I enjoy all of the information and insight. I was surprised to find that I have done a lot of the energy exercises he describes without reading or being told about it-it just seemed to come natural when i was younger. However, I don't think doing all of these is essential to OBEs. They do have their own purpose though.

I feel the key is to find purpose for myself in this world, and being a productive part of what i feel society should be. These kinds of turmoils have been going on since the beginning of time, and maybe others suffering is a reason for us to change. I have seen the horrible depression an older brother has gone through because of his worries about all the government conspiracies and human kind. Of course it is a valid concern, but you have to find how you can come to terms and enjoy the world around you. There is more beauty then hatred, If you can't see this then I'm not sure what advice to give you...

I definitely agree Szaxx. I wish more people would lighten the hell up.

Maybe writing in a novel format just doesn't work for you. I think i god exercise could just be writing a series of short stories that link with each other, and trying to transition them so they create a whole story.

Definitely possible. This use to be the easiest way for me to have a lucid dream, when i wake up in the middle of the night then fall back asleep. However, since I have because aware of OBE's I find myself having these mixed in with dream symbols. When i do have fall back asleep and have lucid dreams i usually do not try to change these and let them play out.

It sounds like the trumpet of doom.

It's just not possible to take that statement seriously. Good times

I (seriously now) think it already happened and nobody noticed.

Agree, people are sitting waiting for something to happen when everything is already happening all around us, and has been for years and years. I am very aware of what is going on in the world today, but i refuse to live in fear because some people wrote scriptures that told me these are the end of days. 

I disagree that the shift in human consciousness is going to be as fearful and negative as some have you have described. Have some faith in the universe for crying out loud.

Wow, very interesting. When i was younger, say 14 or so, certain relaxation methods just came to me without having read about them. Thank you for sharing something personal.

I said i hope so, I didn't say i counted on Obama. Obama keeps saying he will do what's in the peoples best interest but then turns around and says "I had to do what congress said or there will be big problems..." I am not worried though, i trust in our people of America to fight back with whatever comes our way. We are done with all the crap.

I remember doing this a couple of times a long time ago. I never really connected that it would aid in shifting the subconscious over. I do remember after meditating into the flame of the candle for about 15 minutes or so, it really helped my mind clear and the rest of room kind of faded away. The flame started turning a whitish color. Maybe it is something I will have to try again.

I suppose that's a personal decision. It doesn't seem very different from going to a class that teaches metaphysics. They might show up some techniques that work for you, but so will reading and watching lectures on the subject. I have spent money on two books relating to OBE's. The rest of my knowledge comes from being involved with groups like these or simply reading articles across the web. Like i said, people can suggest techniques to aid you along but the ultimate power comes from within you. (I know that sounded corny)
