I've noticed that Tom Campbell is referenced quite a bit here. Maybe I'm venturing into dangerous waters but......

I don't really have so much a quarrel with the "nuts and bolts of how reality works" of his videos, but I find the his overall MBT view very disturbing and depressing. How we check out, meet a hologram representation of our loved ones for 15 minutes, before we are patted on the bottom and forcibly shipped down the reincarnation chute for another go-round at lowering entropy for the great cosmic consciousness like some poor cows at a massive dairy farm.

It also goes against the views of others, such as Frank Kepple and Jurgen Ziewe, who paint (for me anyway) a far more possibly pleasant view of reality, reincarnation and what really happens after physical death.

Let me ask you this then... why do you find that particular perspective "disturbing and depressing"?

Essentially, the answer will tell you how YOU view this reality.  You're viewing all this from the perspective of an individual, physical human.  Reality, and consciousness as a whole, is so much more grand than that.  When you begin to see it as such, you'll begin to realize you role in everything and why "becoming Love" is so very important.

How do you guys see it?

In a nutshell... I see everything as consciousness.  That "great cosmic consciousness" (as you put it) is as much YOU as it is ME.  Actually, we're both just small parts of it. 

Hello Ladies and Gentlemans i have one question i watched one of tom campell's videos and i have one question i didn't understand part about Consciousness while astral projecting he said your Consciousnessi is not in your body or in your head so it's everywhere? i mean if it's not in my body is not soul Consciousness? i mean what people call soul xD now i am really confused can someone clear this situation please

It's hard to understand and even harder to explain.

Give this article I wrote a couple years ago a read:  http://www.unlimitedboundaries.ca/2013/02/18/are-projections-internal-or-external-experiences/

These projections aren't "internal" or "external" experiences to us in the same way that we aren't souls "in" or "out" of a body. 

In the end, it's not really something you have to worry about in order to project... you WILL come to your own perspective regarding it sooner or later though.   

It kind of sounds like you're putting waaaaaaay too much emphasis on the Vibrations.
You're aiming FOR them, when you should be aiming PAST them.  So once you experience them... your subconscious mind goes, "Ok!  Got it!  I'm done here!".

The Vibrations aren't required to project.  Instead of focusing so much on them as part of the goal, take the mindset of "if they come, they come... if they don't, they don't".
They're a signpost experience that reads, "Keep doing what you're doing, because you're doing it right"... except you're experiencing them, then stopping what you're doing and focusing on them.

That's why you keep losing it.

Just acknowledge them and continue focusing your awareness AWAY from this physical reality. 

Great replies from everyone so far.  I'll just provide a quick personal perspective.

It happened before, I even say lucid dream, I think about it, I even googled this site in my last dream to ask something about lucid dreaming.

You had a dream ABOUT lucid dreaming.  This is where most people get really confused about.
Simply put, you're either aware that you're dreaming or you're not aware that you're dreaming... it's a 1 or 0, on or off, no gray area in it.  You are or you aren't. 

I know I'm dreaming but I kinda don't at the same time.

That's just it, you didn't know you were dreaming.  You just had a dream ABOUT lucid dreaming where you were doing research on the subject.
It's cool in and of itself, but you didn't know you were dreaming.

When I really do know I'm dreaming (happened twice), I get super excited and that feeling is simply amazing, then I stop following my dream and kind of drift off and try to do stuff, but that results in me waking up after a few seconds. In my last lucid dream the whole world started shifting and vibrating as I was waking up.

The fun part is that when I have these kind of dreams where I know I'm dreaming but don't at the same time, I have the most awesome dreams and they last for a long time, and usually end up flying all over the place and do stuff I wanna do when I lucid dream.

It also seems to only happen whenever I wake up and stay awake for a few minutes and then go to sleep.

See?  You already know your criteria for becoming aware in a dream.  Stick with that.  Don't try to shove other experiences into that box that clearly don't fit.  You're only going to end up frustrating yourself trying to figure out all these things. 

So, why do these kind of LD's happen, or how can I deal with them?

While they're not projections (well, in the end, even a dream is a projection), they're still experiences and should be logged accordingly. 

Hello ladies and gentlemans ,
Today i had a half lucid dream let's say so half because i realised i was in a dream but didn't have 100% control over it the situation was like in a clinic or building something like that i don't know and i was speaking with one of the guys i told him you know god is dead and after that i added or wait maybe he is not dead and it's just source of energy after that he told me something but i don't remmeber so i basicly went out and there was a big hall near window there was a couch i sited on it and tried to sleep in a sleep : P i had like sleep paralysis in sleep maybe don't know i really couldn't feel it and i saw shadow person "shadow in human figure" ( i think we all know stories about them) first it was like this tinny tall ones but then it transformed into human kind and was slowly coming to me in that moment by mind told me like i reiceved a text from inner self that " have no fear and they will dissapear " i basicly calmed my self and it dissapeared in that moment i woke up and had whole buzzing tingling vibration going through my body i was feeling alive let's say so like really vibrating let's say so....

So i just want to hear your opinions about it : P

Regardless of how much or little control you have, it's still a "projection".  Control of an experience doesn't denote what the experience is. 
You can have a full astral awareness and yet still not have any control over what's going on.  Control is a secondary property of a non-physical experience. 

Remember, the only difference between a "projection" and a "dream" is that in a projection, you have awareness that you're non-physical.

As for the experience itself... creepy.   
What you should work on next time is increasing your awareness.  Bring about a full "waking awareness" within yourself. 

From all of us at the Astral Pulse, we would like to wish you, your family and friends a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and an absolutely great New Years!

And a quick reminder for those old enough to drink in your area of the world... please do not drink and drive! 

Listen to my inner voice?

Read my post here:  http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_out_of_body_experiences/trying_obe4u_techniques-t46309.0.html;msg360368#msg360368

Subconscious... higher self... spirit guides... that's how you "speak" to the deeper parts of yourself. 

sorry for my ignorance I should have fact checked.

No worries.   

Check this website out http://www.thisman.org/history.htm hope it helps

That "face" is a well known hoax.  It's a compilation of many different faces put together to illicit the exact effect which people are contributing to it.
It's not real.

The reason being those who into all this, wouldn't really visit Facebook or twitter

You don't think so?

I'm part of at least a dozen groups on facebook regarding astral projection and spirituality. 
Across all of those groups, there must be over a 100,000 people involved.  Just a drop in the bucket really. 

Actually, it's the ONLY reason I use facebook.

The most viewed thread is about astral sex.

"Sex" is something that's important on most people's mind.  Go figure. 

It's why they say "sex sells"... because it does.  Meh.

If you can get past "sex"... consciousness is so much more entertaining AND spiritually growing.  Actually, if you get stuck within "sex", then this singular "life" is pretty much a lost cause.
I personally know people who are so caught up and lost in sex that they don't have a chance in hell of making any spiritual growth in this life of theirs.  It's not all bad though... they'll figure things out in one of their lives.

Isn't it much easier (for beginners at least) to ap/ld/obe to access the akashic records?

I've tried reading books / looking for meditations on YouTube and they're not that good in my opinion.

Are there any free online resources for accessing the akashic records while not ap/ld/obeing for beginners?

I've got books on meditation. But I have such a large collection of books I want to read that I can only read a couple at a time.

Thanks.

I just gave you explicit, detailed instructions on how to do it.  

What I stated above is probably THE EASIEST method for accessing the Akashic Records.  It really doesn't get any easier.

The reason why accessing it through projecting (especially for beginners) is... first... you have to project.  That, in itself, seems to be a stopping block for most of the population.
Secondly, if you are actually able to project... most people simply don't have the focus or Intent in order to do such a thing. 

All my life looking for enlightment, and when I start showing synthoms of it, I get scared xD I think it makes sense. I am being offered the chance to face my remaining fears.

Vibrations aren't a sign of enlightenment.  Vibrations are just vibrations.
Enlightenment is a... more than anything else... a change of perspective really.  LoL

Hello again, I read some of the other posts about phasing by you on unlimitedboundaries , I found this : http://www.unlimitedboundaries.ca/2010/11/25/xanths-phasing-method/

Could stretching your eyes stop movement in the eye? In the post you do say something about focusing onto the darkness,
my eyes keep drifting around my eyelids, like is that bad? Could this take me away from reaching the flashy darkness thing? ( I hope I make sense)
Thank you

Stretching your eyes out CAN help with that, but most likely won't.  It's a relaxation thing generally.

How about trying to NOT fight the drifting?  Let them go where ever they want to. 
When we struggle against what is a natural thing, we tend to cause suffering within ourselves.  So stop struggling against "what is". 

See how that works for ya.

True. But I was always hoping to get into touch with more like minded people. Like the ones here on Astral Pulse. I found it quite hard to do so.
Miramir seems promising

It's very hard actually... mostly because the rest of the world isn't quite ready to begin to even CONSIDER that what we discuss here is a reality.
With that said, there are methods to connect with locally "like-minded" people.

Just look for your local occult bookshop.  Assuming you have one, they usually have ways to do get-togethers.  Or perhaps take a meditation class or something along those lines.

Thank you so much for your answers, guys. It makes me feel very relieved to see that i am not the only one

If there is ANYTHING in this world you can take consolation from it's that there is NOTHING you can experience that someone hasn't or isn't already experiencing right now. 
You're NEVER the only one experiencing something.

Just curious Thaomas, how do you check your physical body and still maintain your NP focus? I know there are devices like EEG monitors that can do that, but I would think that the moment you put your focus back on your physical body, that anything you tested would be from a physical body oriented stand point, thus negating any true statistics during a NP focus, shift/projection.

A handy tool is something like a Fitbit Charge HR.
It has a Heart Rate monitor on it and it tracks all day long, 24/7 as long as you're wearing it.

My Fiance got me one for my birthday this past year.  I don't really get the increased heart beat thing anymore, but I used to... but people could give that a try.

The book I want to ask my subconscious about is a math book.

Would I be able to ask my spirit guide or a master?

Or through the akashic records learn the part of the book over a few projections once I get used to projecting?

Thanks.

What most people have to realize is that the "akashic records" isn't a place... it actually isn't any "THING" at all.
Consider it a record of everything that HAS happened and everything that COULD HAVE happened... along with a potential for anything that COULD happen in the future.  But mostly the first two things.

As such, it's part of consciousness... and guess what?!  YOU ARE PART OF CONSCIOUSNESS TOO!    Isn't that handy?
This means that YOU always, at ANYTIME, have direct (although it might not seem that way at times) access to it.  All you need to do is learn to listen to it. 

Through our non-physical experiences (what you are subjectively calling a "dream", "lucid dream" or "astral projection" -> because, meh, they're all the same thing anyway) we have more direct access to this information (because, as we know, EVERYTHING you experience is really just information/data anyway). 
While we're experiencing this physical reality, we DO have direct access to it as well, but it's only accessible through the same filters which our consciousness currently experiences this physical reality.  Meaning, you have to put up with all the interpretations and snap judgments your consciousness makes on a secondly basis.  So, how do you go about to do this?

FIRST, you meditate... focus your mind.  Unless, that is, you're a person who is always in a focused state of mind... then you can kind of just shift your attention towards that focus.
But let's face it, most people are absent minded these days.  hehe  So, meditate... focus your mind for a few minutes... push away as much physical-ness from your awareness as you can.  THEN, ask your question.  Say it out loud... think it... do whatever you want... just make sure the Intent behind your question is strong and with a powerful purpose.  THEN, sit back and wait for an answer.

This is the most important part of this process... your answer will most likely *NOT* be something verbal.  Don't get me wrong, it COULD come to you in a neatly verbal reply which you "hear", but it probably won't.  As such, you need to listen intently to your body.  The answer could come as a change in temperature... a breeze... it could be in the form of a memory popping into your mind... the point here being, remain COMPLETELY OPEN to *HOW* the answer comes to you.  Don't judge it, don't analyze it, just accept it into yourself, however it comes.

That's how you access this stuff while "physical". 

I have been looking at some methods and I came across phasing so the problem is, I cant come to the flashy darkness part, where there is dark flashing and blobby darkness floating. I swear I did it once, it lasted 5 minutes and darkness was flashing but I was disturbed in the physical. Can you guys give me tips to get to that part again, the noticing darkness part? I cant do rundown things...Thanks

You might simply be misinterpreting what you THINK you're supposed to experience.
Let's see if I can't describe things a bit more concise... or as clear as I can! 

Actually... let me share a couple links to articles I wrote regarding two exercises, The Rundown and The Noticing Exercise. 

http://www.unlimitedboundaries.ca/2010/09/06/what-is-phasing-and-noticing/
http://www.unlimitedboundaries.ca/2011/02/01/phasing-with-noticing-a-more-detailed-explanation/

http://www.unlimitedboundaries.ca/2010/09/17/phasing-mental-rundown-in-greater-detail/

That should keep you busy for a few minutes. 

Dont quote me, but anyone can feel those sensations. For some, mental visualization helps stimulate it more so than others, but with enough practice anyone can stimulate it.

Robert Bruce NEW demonstrates this (many different 'techniques' as well) and is relitavely simple IMO to learn/practice.


Here is the NEW energy ways pdf. A good practice to partake in.

This one is more for aura viewing apparently (but i think training the eye will help with all clarvoyance)

There is nothing you can't experience yourself.  You're a part of the whole of consciousness.  What one person can do, YOU can do too.

Sorry, my bad!

No worries!  That's what Moderators are for. 

I admire the fact that someone is starting YET ANOTHER social media site... but like the dozens that came before it, it probably won't catch on.
There's just too many other more situated sites.  It's almost impossible to break out among them.

Being a "spiritual atheist" actually isn't a contradiction in terms. It would just mean the person conceived of a metaphysical realm that was not organized under a deity. In fact, many forms of Buddhism might be called spiritual atheism (a few others have a sort of creator). There is something like a negative halo effect around the word "atheist", but the word only refers to positive belief in the absence of a deity.

But my point, and what I found personally, was that spiritualism is finding the god within yourself.  The "you" being one small aspect of the creator of this reality.  While it's not a god in the sense of the Christian "God", it is as powerful (meaning US) a concept. 

I don't think you can progress spiritually until one realizes the truth of this existence... but that's just me. 

You can use the term "spiritual atheist" right up until the point you realize WHY it doesn't work.  Then it hits you like a tonne of bricks and the concept comes crumbling down.  hehe

Any links which are astral-related (usually WITHOUT anything paid on them) are fine. 

We're not in the business of supporting other websites (usually) fraudulent business practices of selling overpriced crap to people.

Links to books are fine as long as it's not copyrighted material.  Copyrighted material will be removed. 

The techniques Raduga (who apparently, I just heard recently, has retired from teaching Projecting) aren't anything new.  You can find them anywhere on the net, in just about every book, and on this very forum as well. 

You know, not all atheists believe this is it. Why can't an atheist be spiritual?

Then you're not atheist. 

Being spiritual means you believe there is more to "this" than just this physical body/reality. 
It might not denote a direct belief in a "god"-figure... I don't believe a god-figure... or singular "creator" exists, but I'm certainly not an atheist.
I believe we are ALL one... we're ALL creators of this reality.  We create every moment.  We keep this reality in existence through our creation.

In the end, most people who identify as "atheist", think it means that they simply don't believe in a god... they don't realize it's much deeper and a much more profound statement, stronger than simply denying the existence of something and when most people are actually questioned on it, they generally fall into an Agnostic mindset.

So tell me, what do you believe?
