Here's a question for you all...

Does a person who is "colour blind" see colour incorrectly?

I can tell you it's REAL.

Too bad that knowledge won't help YOU. 

Understand?

I think you've been around long enough to know what I mean. 

Intent. 

YES!  

Adrian was somewhere where he had very little to no internet connection.
But he's back now, and managed to get the forum up and running again.

I'm not sure how bad the restore had to be, but July 27th doesn't sound too horrible to me... considering the last time a major crash happened back about 5 years ago.  

Let me apologize to anyone who might have lost any posts from the 27th onwards.  Please repost whatever you remember.

Thanks all!

Hello Lady's and Gentleman, girls and boys  . Ok Long story short. 10 years ago more or less i experienced something what i couldn't imagine actually can be real or smthing. But the fact is fact i never did that on purpose emm  that very moment when you realize that you see yourself from behind and your top of head and your ears from the high back . Well that was something i was rly surprised  something like this --> oO.
  The sensation was very nice i felt very comfortable that hanging in air no there was no air, there was very amazing place and that it. . i Observed me for a while althou my friend was just near siting banging his keyboard buttons and he asked me something now cannot recall what exactly he asked  that was pretty long time ago and what mostly i keep with my memory is that i answered but also i didn't. It was very weird  that i'm there and here  at same time but in different places. Alright next thing somehow i knew very clear and  thought about that i have to go back . And very moment i thought about it my hands pushed away everything i did and i went straiiiiight to bed  because i was rly tired and i thought i need to sleep for sure  and i was pretty much scared of this experience.
  Ok now i start to dig it deeper i want to fliping know WTH was that . If someone can explain me ? .

Well, honestly... you came to a forum on Projection.  So, it sounds like you know exactly what it was. 

Well, when i expressed an aspect of myself on whatever level, then a kind of uncertainty manifests. It appears to me that this uncertainty is based on a type of fear. The consequence of this fear is some connection that i make (or so it appears). For example, on a social level, when i have some deep thoughts and i express them to someone, afterwards i tend to become paranoïd. I know paranoïa is not well understood as for the cause of it in the consensus of psychiatry. The nature of my paranoïa is based on distortions that i perceive in verbal communication processes of other people. This goes together with synchronicity that manifests. It is as if i receive messages (through television or through the mind of other people) that are synchronized with the context of my expression. There seems to be some kind of telepathic connection with a collective being. It seems to me that i can read subconscious thoughts which people have about me or some theme (and this depends on the nature of the expressions that i make). Now, i meditate pretty well and i find myself in some deep trance, so i conclude from this that i advanced far on a spiritual level. However, i can't get used to the energy of this "paranoïa" (mind the quotation marks). Now my question; Does every master of meditation experience this kind of connection or paranoïa or however you want to call it? In question, "is" it paranoïa (a disease) or a connection with a collective subconsciousness when one has progressed far?

You're a fearful one... aren't you? 

How about instead of being paranoid of "what if...", you simply accept "what is..." and allow it to be as it is.

I astral projected to a random house. The thing was invisible but for some reason I was completely aware of it's presence in this house I was in and knew exactly where it was in the exact room even though I couldn't see it. I went to it's location in the house and I said "grump, where are you" and it appeared before me out of nowhere. It was a woman with blue skin and black hair but looking very zombie like. She said "I'm gonna wrap you up and eat you!" Verbatim (tortillas!?!?) And before I could see it move I felt my head getting sucked off very fast like a vaccuum and I jerked back to my body. Very strange.

Nothing is going to eat your soul. 
This is a fear response experience.

Grump?? There's censorship now?

Certain words and phrases have always been censored.  It's nothing personal. 

Xanth is a real philosopher, what are your thoughts Xanth?

I'm neither a philospher... nor are my thoughts important to anyone but myself.

You want MY answer to your question?  Intent based upon Love.

That is all.

You've had dreams your entire life up until now, correct?
You're unharmed.  You can dream of losing a limb, getting sliced in half... DIE... and you've been fine.

I watched bits and pieces of that video... it's a load of crap.  Fear-mongering.

After 10 months since I started, I had  my first successful separation/ projection a few days ago, or that's what I thought. This is what happened.

It was afternoon and I got into bed, hoping to project. I placed a strong intent. I don't usually practice any special technique, I just try to induce mind awake body asleep state.
After, say a half hour, I had the separation symptoms: serious vibes and a feeling of separation. I've had these before, but I never could separate completely.
Now, suddenly all the symptoms die. My vision is still blacked out and I have no idea whether I had separated.
Every time I have a lucid dream (4 times till date), I test it out by flying (by intending to fly). This time, I suddenly began flying even without intending too. My flight was a bit different, as in it was way faster and my jaws began to hurt as I increased my speed (? I guess some things can never be explained). With this I could confirm it was an oobe, but was it a projection? My vision was still all dark. I was scared to open my eyes to check it out because I feared I might end up opening my real eyes. But I tried to do it anyway ( just a little bit), and guess what, I did begin seeing my physical body, just like normal. This wasn't my astral vision, but the usual one. So I closed it immediately. Here comes the worst part (to confuse the situation even more) I was wearing a sleep mask before going to bed which means I could've never seen my body even if I tried opening my eyes!
I couldn't stand up properly, like as if the gravity went nuts.
Then later I had a partial vision. I saw my mom trying to wake me up by sprinkling water. But in reality this had never happened. Then I found a huge mirror by my side on the wall where I saw a deformed image of my face. I looked different with very few similarities. In reality, I had no mirror in my room at all.

So what was this? A projection which turned into a dream or a lucid dream itself?
The reason I am still doubting it could be a projection is because the separation symptoms were so accurate and perfect!

The problem here isn't the experience... it's that you're asking the wrong questions about it.

A projection turned into a dream?  A lucid dream?  You doubt it's a projection because <enter random reason here>...

The main points you need to know:

1.  You were consciously aware while non-physical.

That's it.  That's ALL you need to ever worry about.    It's a projection. 

Sounds like a great experience!

I always love how people say how REAL experiences are... like something can be more real than real. 

Life is experience.  Anything you can experience is real.  What you mean is that you had a full astral awareness (akin to your full waking awareness).
It feels absolutely great to be in complete control of your faculties. 

Does anyone here do remote viewing?

I, personally, view "remote viewing" as projection... the only difference being that instead of directly experiencing the environment, you're instead only seeing what could be best described as "pictures" or "images" of it.  Otherwise, it's no different from a projection.

So last night I was in a Dream and suddenly got shot by a shotgun I could feel the pain for few seconds but not move and just fell almost like paralysis until I seemed to have died, which is when I waked up..? Had other Dreams where I died where I get the feeling that dying actually felt real. Also had some Dreams like where I was shot and died immedietly and I felt a sensation of Peace which felt damn good.

And now you know what it feels like to "die".  Doesn't hurt much, does it? 

ROFL

I really should have known better than to ask this question here. 

It was really just a straightforward question guys... no double speak here.
For myself, YES, I was definitely purchase my "things" and "services" from a company who could prove to me that they were in it for more than just $$. 

Hence my question.  I had a business idea and I wanted to simply see how much desire there was out there... especially in a more spiritually-oriented community. 

Would you be more likely to do business with a company if they could prove that they weren't doing what they do JUST for money... but doing what they do to make life better on this planet?

Like, if Walmart, all of a sudden, started paying decent wages and stopped worrying about their bottom line... ?

Just curious what everyone's thoughts on something like that would be?

Lumaza, if I knew what the problem is I would've already solved it myself, at least I would know what I have to do. Unfortunately, I'm looking at the problem I have and I can't see a whole picture. I only have these aftereffects that are manifesting in things I do and this ugly feeling I'm missing something. I understand there are ways to build your confidence, but one does not lose his confidence in a single morning. It doesn't work that way. Or does it?

That's (usually) a cop out... that's like me saying I don't know why I'm overweight.  I know damn well why I'm overweight, I just need to admit it to myself in order to begin making things better (which I am doing now btw ).  You can pretend to us all you want, but you most likely do know exactly what's wrong, you're just afraid to admit it to yourself.  You won't improve things until you do this.

There are things you can do to build your confidence sounds as if I never had one. I'm not even sure is it confidence what I'm searching for, I'm really not. It was all fine just normal daily routines, going to college, writing exams like I always do. Little bit of tension before you get exam when your nerves are working, but everyone has it, I always had it, it's a normal thing. Few days after it, I have another exam. Again, studied for it, did everything as always and that morning I get this awful feeling I can't do it. First I thought it were my nerves, but I couldn't shake it off. I came to exam hall and I just knew I would fail. It was one of those strong feelings you get time from time and you just know what will happen. You know that feeling, it pops out sometimes, like a presentiment (it is really useful and I rely a lot on it, because it never fails me in way it is never false, it can be good or bad, but it's never wrong). Anyway, ever since that morning and that exam I feel like I'm missing something. I feel insecure, I already wrote I tried riding a bike without hands and was surprised when I couldn't let go of the wheel. There were 2 more exams after it, all same failed. I feel like I can't do anything without this.

If you want something to help build your confidence, try a Martial Art.  Physical *AND* Spiritual strength building is what you'll gain.

Opening your chakras doesn't necessarily magically make all the problems of life go away. Confronting them is the way to build confidence.

Likewise, confronting them is the objective path to metaphorically to opening them.  

1. i projected in 2 separate occasions for a couple of seconds seeing that everything had a light blue tint does this seem right or were these false awakening because it seemed real.

A false awakening is when you're non-physical, but you THINK you're awake.  Did you know you were non-physical? 
To the second part of your question, "does this seem right"... there is no right or wrong regarding what and how you experience. 

2. Once when i was sleeping i then felt my hand push against something then i opened my eyes and it was my floor then i flipped my body over and started to try to make out what was suppose to be my room but everything was out of place was i just dreaming or is that how it's suppose to be.

Projection.

3. i'm curious on how some people project do you stay awake but keep your body still until you project or do you cling to the thought of astral projection while you go to sleep?

There has to be a "Focus" of some kind involved.  It's very rare to be able to simply "lie there, do nothing" and project.  You need to find a "Focus" which works for you to hold your attention AWAY from this physical sensations in order to project. 

4. silly question but is it possible If you were to become very skilled at astral projection can you become aware of both the physical world and the astral planes at the same time?

The "astral planes" aren't some singular entity.  For example, this physical reality is ONE of an infinite number of realities comprising the "non-physical" (aka astral planes).
But yes, you can be aware of "here" and "there".  Actually, you're ALWAYS aware of them... you just don't know how to listen properly.

5. also from doing some research I've been really confused on this thing called the Kundalini energy i get its some huge like energy that can help you with astral projection is this true? if so i've been trying to raise it but haven't really felt any huge surge of energy besides feeling the vibration of trying to astral project.

I'd probably stick with one thing at a time.  Forget about this one for now until you're in a better position to understand what's going on.

[can't]

I will try that. I know I might fail first time and that I won't get results immeditealy. And I feel like I'm currently being one of those whiny people that always go around whining and screaming "I can't do it". Every I advice I got I'm trying to apply, but it sorta isn't working. Unfortunately, can't stop this feeling. I can't even ignore it. Can't stop thinking about it, I have no control of it. All I do is feel the consequences and they are manifesting in things I do daily. I feel like sh*t and I don't wanna feel like that. I don't wanna be one of those people, but I just can't shake it off. People usually become desperate after feeling like this, but I'm getting angrier. Why can't I do it? What is wrong? Yeah, I will do it Xanth. What you suggested. Gonna do that and get rid of this.. whatever it is.

Stop fighting against yourself. 

Also Xanth, you keep talking about that Belief. What are you talking about exactly?

There are two kinds of beliefs... conscious beliefs and subconscious beliefs.

A conscious belief is one that you actively know about.  It's something like believing in a specific god/religion.  You are consciously aware of it.  Being consciously aware of, it's much easier to effect change upon it, which then alters your perspective.

A subconscious belief is one that you DON NOT know about.  Even though you don't know about it, it still has a profound impact upon your life.  For example, one subconscious belief that most humans have is the belief that you're a spirit INSIDE a physical body.  That somehow the "you" (spirit, soul, etc...) is this thing that resides inside this meat-suit of ours.  This belief has a profound impact on our lives because it shapes HOW we experience, especially non-physically.  The entire term "OBE" is based around this belief.  Methods such as "rolling out of your body" is based entirely around this particular belief.

That's what I mean when I talk about beliefs. 

EDIT:
This is why it feels right to ask questions on the outside, like I'm doing on this forum. As I write it down, I'm putting it in order in my head and your replies keep surprising me. It so obvious, yet I'm blinded and didn't figure it on my own. Well, I actually started writing how I hate the verb can't, but I kept using it. Then I re-read what I wrote and each time I was responding I wrote I will try so I changed last few sentences.

Here is an article I wrote for my website which I think works well here:  http://www.unlimitedboundaries.ca/2010/12/29/how-i-came-to-my-beliefs/

Hi!  Welcome to the forum!  Hopefully you'll find some great information here. 

I believe we'll discover intelligent life in other dimensions relative to this physical reality, before we will on other planets within this physical reality.
You'll read many experiences on this forum alone of such interactions. 

I insist that you watch this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02FkMr21xOA It explains in detail regarding every aspect related to each chakra and what to do to get it right.
Now forget about the chakras and just do what was taught in the video regularly. This will automatically help you. You no longer need to be concerned about the chakras. Just follow the new way of living!

Loved that show! 
I remember watching that exact part and thinking how perfect it was at explaining this stuff.
As long as you remember they're just metaphors, it won't further bog you down.  Some people take this stuff to the extreme and their belief then holds them back.

For most of us, it's going to take a lot longer than 10 minutes though to get rid of our beliefs which hold us back. hehe

And how do I ask within for the why?

You sit quietly and ask.  Then wait for a response.  Simple, isn't it?  

The trick is interpreting how the response comes to you.  It *usually* won't be anything verbal.  
It could be a feeling... a sensation... a memory... could be something visual.

I did this to find my spirit animal.  I sat quietly for a little bit, then I asked in my mind, "what is my spirit animal"... then I saw an eagle flying in front of my closed eyes as real as if someone was standing there.

It was then that I realized that "talking to your spirit guide" was as easy as closing your eyes, sitting quietly and asking.  

In response to chakras... here is my perspective on them.
They're not objective "things" attached to your physical body.  They're metaphors. 
As dpk said, each chakra is in relation to something specific... to "open" a chakra means to come into balance with that aspect of yourself. 

Are you shy talking to people?  Then you have a throat chakra that is metaphorically more closed than someone who is open with others. 
It's all metaphors... there's nothing objective here. 

Everything you experience in this reality (or any reality really) has to do with Belief and Intent... just in different amounts of those two things. 

Please don't bump decade old threads.

I agree with floriferous. 
I think most people here know my views of "astral projection" and "lucid dreams"... I view them as not objectively existing anyway.
They're just different levels of awareness you have while you're experiencing the non-physical.

I have had many great lucid awareness experiences, where I'm aware I'm non-physical but I'm still kind of going along with the flow of the experience... and I've had many great astral awareness experiences, where I'm as awake and aware about myself as I am right now able to do whatever I want.  There is amazing value in all ranges of awareness you can attain in the non-physical. 

The same holds true even in this physical reality where your awareness can move between fully awake and alert to any other state, and yet all of those states still provide some kind of meaningful experience.  Y'know, unless you're so drunk out of your mind you end up having a LESS THAN dream awareness experience here.  LOL  That happens.
