I have had OBEs. I had one that I recall before I ever knew what it was. So from the time I found out about OBEs I knew they were possible so it is kind of hard to actually say. I think that if I had never had one I would still believe they were possible, though I might be more skectical until I actually had one. After reading on this site I think I would lean towards them being real.

You should not be ashamed of being naykyd. []

Great work!

Nice suggestion, Tayesin. I never really thought about it, but maybe this is why I dislike large crowds of people so much, and maybe why others flock to them. Anyway I will try that next time I am out and about.

Thank you []

Sounds good to me. []

You might try posting this in the Magic section. Maybe they can help you there.

Welcome to the forums.

I use to be a big gamer but not really any more. I still enjoy playing a game but it seems to take me forever to complete them now. I barely have time for much of anything. I am still working on completing Vampire:TM Redemption and the first Resident Evil on PS. I have completed Resident Evil 2 & 3 though. [] This sort of works out for the best though because I can get those really cool games from a few years ago pretty cheap now. Oh yeah, I played Everquest for awhile too.

I believe that all living things have a spirit. I use to be very close to plants and trees, though lately I have not had as much contact with them and it seems to have faded, but I can still "call" on them, so to speak. I do not believe in Heaven and Hell, so whatever on that. Do they go on after death? If humans do animals, plants, and all living things might as well too. []

Another, similar method can be done any time and is usually best in the afternoon or early evening, depending on your internal clock. Just lay down as if you are going to take a nap, and really this is about what you are going to do. Get comfortable, but do not get in a position that you usually fall asleep in at night. Just let your body drift off, get relaxed and go to sleep. At the same time let your mind wonder ever so gently away, BUT stay conscious of what stage it is at. Just before your mind slips off to sleep bring it back awake, quickly if possible, while not distrubing your body. Keep doing this and one time you should find yourself out of your body when you bring your mind awake. This avoids the exit sensations as well which some find uncomfortable or distracting. This does require alot of metal awareness and concentration so as to not let your mind go off to sleep.

Thinking about it, isn't the US government offering a lot of money for information leading to the capture of Saddam or bin Laden. Hmm .. Of coarse they would probably wonder how some redneck in the South found out where they were hiding out.

Thanks, that was a good read. A good reminder of what can happen when one is not rational and objective. But that black background and white letters ... ouch my eyes hurt. Copy and paste it into word if you plan on reading all that in one sitting.

I will check out the John Edwards thing later.

I guess I missed his banning. I was wondering what happened to him. Hopefully he will learn.

It sounds like you had an OBE to me. My only concern is why you tried to find the presence you felt. Were you actually trying to attack it or were you just being playful? Don't assume that everything you see while out of body is out to get you. Be curious and explore with the intent to learn. It will be much more beneficial.

Congratulations!

You need to realize that there is nothing to actually be afraid of. You need to learn to control your emotions. While out of body you need to try to remain calm and passive at all times.

Thank you. [] Awhile back I projected into a place that looked like my avatar, but the place was so much more than I could recreate. I decided to try to draw it, and since it turned out half way decent I made it my avatar. I did not find out until later that what I saw was actually an Astral Plane Entrance Grid. But I still enjoyed just hanging out there in awe of the beautiful gold colored grid.

How would one go about seeking out past lives? I have never experienced such so I would like to see what it is like for myself.

Do you think that we must reincarnate on Earth? If there are other planets with intelligent beings such as ourselves, could we and/or do we incarnate as these other beings as well?

It is not possible because contrary to what the term out of body experience implies you are not actually taking something out of your body. You are shifting your consciousness to another one of your bodies. These bodies are you, they exist now as you read this. The difference is that your consciousness is in your physical body.

I understand what you meant. But I guess my point was, when I project the last thing on my mind is Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein. Plus I am not interested in trying to prove that OBEs are real to people who do not want to listen. You just have to find your own proof.

What is this alchemy you speak of? I am familar with Taoist sexual practices of working with sexual energy, but I am not certain about this sexual alchemy. Can you share?

What you perceive as bad may not really be bad. The mother bird pushing her baby birds out of the nest seems to be a cruel act when in reality she is doing it for the baby birds benefit. Otherwise it may never learn to fly if not forced to do so.

If done properly yes, it would be more useful and less annoying. But I do not think that companies that are wanting to push their products would be so considerate of your opinions. Mostly likely they would be throwing their ads at you every where you went. And even if you do not want the product they could gear it to your personal tastes. Personally I hate ads. They are great when I am at the store shopping. But I am more of a bargin hunter. I don't care how flashy the box or ad may be. That price tag speaks a lot more to me.

Try getting the majority of Americans to agree on anything. Haha True we may have the advantage if we have the numbers. But I do not think you will ever have the numbers. Most Americans are happy with just getting their material goods and letting the government do whatever as long as their material goods are protected. The advantage is that the US is dominately Christain. The RFID is too close to the sign of the beast, so I think most Americans will not be very accepting of it.

I do not advise reading Psychic Self Defense or reading such forums unless you are plagued by something that you just cannot seem to deal with. Fear feeds fear. You will have a much more pleasant experience on the astral, on all planes of your life, if you try to be positive, loving, and happy than worrying about negs and what ifs. I am sure that his book and the forum has it purposes and helps people, but do not go looking for it unless you really need it. I think if you concentrate on just projecting, remaining calm, curious, and passive you will be just fine and have more success.

And likewise, objects in motion stay in motion, objects at rest stay at rest. In other words if you stop practicing you will loose your ability to do such things as project. The good news is you can get these abilities back. I have not projected in about a year or longer because for one I have not had the time. It is frustrating when you want to get back into it, but I see rapid progress back to where I once was every day. My advice is, if you have to stop for any amount of time, try your best to atleast keep up all your practices as much as you can. Even just a few minutes help.

Heaven, paradise, etc are within, not without. Jesus even said this if you read the Bible. In other words we make our own heavens and hells, reguardless of where you are located. If you project/leave your body what you experience is going to depend a lot on your thoughts, views, and emotions. A happy, loving, caring person will find that on the astral. A mean, hateful person will find a mean hateful environment. You do not have to be on the astral to have this. It works on the physical too. It all depends on your point of view.

OBEs seem to be natural in my opinion. They happen to lots of people, my self included, without any knowledge of them. I think they happen a lot when we are very young, but we forget how to as well as a lot of other things as we become consumed with the physical. OBEs are just like any other skill that people can do: walk, talk, play a sport, draw, paint, sing, etc. All these things take practice to do. Just because we may not be able to do them right out of the womb does not mean that we should not do them. OBEs also have a very profound and positive influence on people, when they understand them. So why should we not do something that seems to be so beneficial to us?

Welcome back. Sounds like you had some interesting experiences.

I have better things to do while out of body than to get caught up in politics. Plus I am not that skilled yet to actually go find such people.

The idea behind waking up in the middle of the night is that your body is already relaxed and your mind is in the right stage to easily enter trance. If you can already do this easily then it may not help a lot. And I do not think that you have to stay up for an hour or even 30 minutes. Just do something to wake your mind up a bit. You want your body to remain relaxed and sleepy.
