[ONLY YOUR THOUGHTS AND STATE OF MIND CAN HOLD YOU SOMEWHERE AGAINST YOUR WILL]

Wow, wow, too many categories of realms and souls. That really gave me a headache. If he truly astral projects and has been to these places, that means the dude is playing too many video games and watching too many movies LOL.
Again, you will experience in the astral worlds what you believe and what you expect to see, or what you fear.
ONLY YOUR THOUGHTS AND STATE OF MIND CAN HOLD YOU SOMEWHERE AGAINST YOUR WILL. So, you see, if you encounter negativity, it wont be because another energy is stronger than yours, but because your own beliefs, fears and state of mind have taken you there. Sometimes you may be taken to dark places, but when you realize that it might be for soul retrieval, you find those who need help to show them how to break the barriers of their own mind and set them free.

I feel like I quit breathing when I start to go out, so I jump right back into my body. I have those brain seizures or something, which shakes me back in as well. Got to figure this one out on my own. thanks

Very important, if you believe or expect to not have oxygen to breathe out there because it is not an earthly environment, then you will experience the described feeling. Shake all these physical laws, leave them behind. Your spirit does not need food or water or vehicles. You can not be hurt, you can not be possessed. Your only restrictions and limits are your own thoughts and beliefs. 

I don't categorize either. I never have. Remember that your thoughts and amount of awareness are your navigation. Affirm  before AP attempts that you are transferring you whole awareness inward and set some goals of where or what will your focus be, That will help you to "remember" and not just stay there and not know what to do or think. My suggestion is as soon as you "separate" get your focus away from your physical location and body as you perceive it. Don't try to walk, just think of another place and you will be sort of teleported.

   So I am curious, are any of the current astral projectors able to concur or discount this idea...I mean where are we going to go when we die, if the earth's astral realms have been emptied? And where are our loved ones then???

I cant't help but laugh at this theory. I am sorry. If a common logic is applied to this theory, that means that our physical bodies would be lifeless at the moment, because it is our spirits and consciousness that breathe "life" into these vehicles. And where do our spirits are made of and reside? In the higher dimensions, made of pure energy. As we speak and have physical observation and focus, our essence is currently existing in many inner realms simultaneously. I hope you have read some boos about parallel and multiple dimensions and simultaneous experiences. Our physical world is supported and formed in that matter from a higher vibratory energy (the so called astral dimensions), not the other way around. Think about it. And just to add some of my recent OBEs, they are just as crowded as before. It depends what are you looking for to experience, your personal beliefs and state of mind. While one person may find their paradise out there, another may find hell and emptiness. The inner experiences are strictly individual. I suggest you stop reading anything for now and learn how to AP and prove things for yourself. But again, you will find emptiness, if you believe and expect so. 

What was the "outside" of the universe like? I always wonder, but I never try to explore during APs, because every time I fly too high and start entering the upper layers of the atmosphere, I start freaking out. I have to overcome that fear. Plus, any observation during APs may not represent the true facts related to our physical universe. Even mysteries about legends, lost worlds, past civilizations, etc. We can not be sure if the answers given or the environment shown are from our reality, and untempered by our subconscious thoughts and believes. At least not while we are attached to our physical bodies and our APs are not 100% conscious and free.

Anyone know how I can do that? Basically OBE to the desired location and place myself right at the desired position and with my intent make that my new bodies location, or is it more complex then that?

Are you talking about ascension? It could be possible that the physical body transforms itself and sort of merges with your nonphysical essence, therefore it permanently moves into a higher frequency realm. But I have read that this could be achieved by a very highly developed spiritually person.
Other than that, in an OBE state, we don't need our physical bodies. We are more free with our pure essence to navigate and travel. If you are looking for a permanent transition, then you have to wait for the natural course of events of your life. Teleportation wise, yes you can teleport physically to other realities, which correspond to the frequency of the elements of your physical body (not non-physical worlds), or other parts of our own universe that are distant, but through wormholes time and space can be bent. At least this is my logic, but as Xanth pointed out nothing is impossible, so keep an open mind and try things if you have opportunities.

Affirmations before falling asleep are extremely powerful and effective. Keep that in mind.

Here is one where I entered another world through a painting.

That's a unique experience. I have never seen anyone in the astral, and later met them in the physical without had known them before. I don't even recall reading anyone to have had experience of this kind. Very intriguing.

A/S/L(grad) moje li? 

I moved to the states 13 years ago and live in Los Angeles. I am originally from Cherven Briag. What about you?

I quickly moved on and met a deceased  Bulgarian actor comedian Todor Kolev

Seriozno li se vidia s Todor Kolev? That's awesome! I am from Bulgaria as well and I grew up watching his movies. He is one of the greatest comedians in our country and he passed away not too long ago.
Congrats on your success!

William Buhlman's books. Very interesting read and extremely helpful techniques. Thanks to him I had my successful OBE 10 tears ago and still applying the same techniques with great results.

Can you describe your NDE? What was the cause for your temporary biological death, if you don't mind me asking?

Since I've found out much about other dimensions and of things that isn't relevant in this World wouldn't my mission on Earth be almost done?
If so, if I killed myself would I keep my coinsiousness of this life and be able to not come back to Earth to relearn something?

Learning that there are other dimensions is a simple task. I doubt that was your mission and why have you entered this reality. Things are much more complicated than that. Forcing a permanent exit means that you cant deal with certain things, and this is why it is most likely that you will return to lean how to. Just my opinion.

Welcome to the Pulse, Mark!
I am always thrilled to read about other's experiences and techniques. The more information we gather, the clearer the whole picture becomes. Even though some experiences are strictly individual according to everyone's mind set, there are certain similarities related to Astral Travel for humans, so please do share your view.

Imagine that this life is a video game and you have been transported in your avatar(body) to experience this reality for a while. You have missions, challenges, lessons to learn, some pleasures to experience, good, bad, ugly.. everything. And so is all of us. Start exploring, setting goals, testing your abilities for different challenges. See how far can you go. Don't take  this life too seriously, otherwise you will be disappointed with every failed attempt, with every wrong step. This life is so short, yet sometimes we feel like we are stuck here for eternity. But once you start moving and trying things, you will find it actually enjoyable. Even the challenges and difficulties will become easier to handle. Just change your perspective of what this reality is and why are you here. Don't forget that you have chosen to enter it, and there was a reason. So, try to find that reason and start having fun exploring. Take advantage of this school (life). Learn how to project in a regular basis, so when you get frustrated with how things are going here, you can always escape at night to your sanctuaries.

You also have many more sense than you do in the physical.

Now I know that last statement is going to bring some questions. My answer beforehand is, you have to experience it yourself to know what I mean! 

This is very true. I have worked with Cochlear Implant recipients who were born deaf and could not comprehend what sounds were. They were explained by family members that there is another sense they cant perceive, but the patients themselves could not understand. And so, when they were implanted and activated for the first time, some of them were breaking down in tears, others were ecstatic, some were scared, but you cant really understand until you get to experience a new sense for yourself.

My advice is to start doing regular affirmations that when the vibrations happen you will remain calm. I can't stress enough how powerful affirmations are. Do them while falling asleep, so that mind set can carry over when you refocus towards the inner worlds. During sleep, we all are oriented into the higher vibratory realms, whether we remember it or not. The remembrance and control over our experiences is what we call astral experiences. In order to gain these abilities, we need to reprogram our mind to become the driver (OBEs) during the focus inward, and not just an observer (dreams).
So, it looks like you can reach vibration state, which is one way to achieve an OBE, but you become afraid.
I was afraid in the beginning as well and it is normal, because such fears are imprinted in our human nature. However, we all have the power to change many things not only within ourselves, but what we perceive in the outside as well, but this is another topic.
So, back to your fear: Any fear can be concurred by studying its nature and analyzing its potential harm. Ask yourself what exactly are the elements of your fear. What do you imagine will happen to you during the vibration state? Please answer these questions and I will reply.

Welcome to the forum! It's normal to have fears at first, but with a little more research and communication with experienced members, the fear will slowly dissipate.

From my personal experience I can tell that all the senses we know in the physical are a lot more enhanced in the astral. Vibrant colors, crisp vision (sometimes spherical), feel of different textures to the touch, incredibly enhanced sense of taste. In several occasions when I was on a diet here in the physical, I craved sweets and during several APs, I would find cakes and eat them and it was unbelievably satisfying and delicious. I have eaten other types of food as well. If you go back to some of my previous posts you will find one that describes going back in time at a Christmas party in my childhood home where the table was covered with so much food and my sister and I had the pleasure to enjoy it very much.
Now about smell, I don't recall sensing different scents, just clean fresh air type. Maybe I haven't though about it that's why I haven't experienced it. So, don't forget that our thoughts trigger our experiences. Whatever you think and carry over from the physical, can be experienced. In these occasions I was experiencing physical like worlds and physical like events. However, we are more than humans, we can experience a lot more different types of realities and senses that are not typical for earth like realities or human like characteristics. Keep an open mind and ask to go higher and you will experience being in pure spirit connected to everyone and everything and all you experience is just the FEELING of being EVERYTHING, which can't compare to any human like senses you experience.

While we are focused and connected to a physical body, its biological specifications will provoke some emotions and thoughts, that otherwise would not occur if we are in pure spirit. Our sub consciousness is polluted so to speak, with many beliefs and emotions related to our current reality perception and characteristics. In our genes as humans there are certain things encoded that no one can escape or avoid, including emotions triggered by hormones (sexuality). They do carry over upon immediate transfer or orientation from physical to astral experiences. Those emotions and thoughts, however can be eliminated by affirmations before falling asleep and if you are intending to project. In the beginning of my practice, I was experiencing these as well, and not because I am a lust driven person lol, in the contrary, but I recognized that our human nature's characteristics will show up automatically in our astral experiences if we don't consciously control them. And I found that setting goals and doing affirmations override such spontaneous astral episodes. If you wish to experience them every once I  a while, nothing wrong with this. But it is a waste of opportunities to learn something valuable, then to obsess with physical like urges. Maybe for men is harder to reprogram their thinking, since chemistry wise they are more sexually driven. From a women's perspective, we value intimacy in a higher level, so for most women their fantasy is having sex with the person they love. For men I guess they can have sex with anyone they find attractive just for the physical pleasure. But again, this is not who we are in a higher level, so we are in a way "victims" of our biological bodies' functions. But the more inner wisdom and knowledge you receive, you find  that other things start occupying your mind more, and negative human characteristics such as ego, fears, false beliefs, etc. start to diminish.

I just opened the page and I saw the following:

Total time logged in: 11 days, 11 hours and 11 minutes

How is that for synchronicity. No big deal, but I though I would share.  I love when things of this sort happen 

All well I don't like SP, I just project through dreams, and WBTB.

Maybe you were too awake if this was during the day. Remember if your body does not need sleep and get your brain waves to diminish, even during a deep meditation you will not experience full blown and long AP (there may be exceptions but they are rare). You may experience slight SP, visions, voices, motion, etc.
Also, when I am asleep and woken up by the SP (not an SP from a meditative state), then I find it much easier to not get either too excited or scared. I instantly think that I am standing next to my bed and boom, it happens. Don't linger too long in the SP state.
There are occasions where I get scared even after so many years of experience. For example just last night I found myself paralyzed in the middle of the night, I recognized and was about to think that I am out, when all of a sudden I hear a whisper "They are coming". Well, for some reason that frightened me and I ended the SP by will and forced myself to wake up. And yes, my favorite APs are from a dream, because everything is already clear and going and you don't have to deal with adjustments of vision, etc.

Here is a quote from an article, and as I suspected it has to do with certain elements from the apples that affect the brain.

"Animal research from the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML) indicates that apple juice consumption may actually increase the production in the brain of the essential neurotransmitter acetylcholine, resulting in improved memory. Neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine are chemicals released."

So, we all know that any sort of astral activities take place in the so called astral world, which is composed of matter that has higher frequency than the elements that compose our world, therefore we distinguish the two realms by calling them physical and non physical. Our spirits are composed of higher frequency elements therefore they exist as we speak in many other levels,  but part of it is oriented in the physical world through a vehicle that we call the physical body. Although the APs, dreams, etc. take place in the non physical realm, we still need our thoughts transmitter (the  brain) to translate that information. Certain chemicals do affect the brain's ability to function better which may result in better dream recall. As you can see from the above article, apples consumption may boost memories recall, and so it makes sense that your brain will be capable of transmitting more information. Because the truth is that we experience the astral at all time, only when our body shuts down, then we are able to perceive it through dreams. And then it is the brain which transmits that information in a form of memories. So, it is not a matter of producing vivid dreams, but rather translating more information from your dreams so that you perceive them as vivid.
I don't know if the study showed true results, they probably would have received more accurate results if designed the study as blinded, placebo controlled. I work in the clinical research field and I am very familiar with the placebo effect. Especially with suggestions, absolutely that may have been the reason why the participants had experienced more vivid dreams, but lets not exclude the possibility that apple juice may have been a contributing factor.
Note: Try juice from real apples, not the ones that are packed with sugar, preservatives and artificial flavoring.
