Star_gazer,

We are referring to binaural beat frequencies.

These beats are frequencies that go into each ear through headphones. This stuff is not normal music but instead precision engineered sound waves that balance right and left hemispheres of your brain to produce a state known as "hemispheric synchronization." This state of consciousness opens pathways to a wide variety of peak performance brain states including mind awake body asleep and states of deep meditation.

You can read about this technology on The Monroe Institute website.

TurulMadar.

There are dimensions in the astral planes that are effected by thoughts and are called non-consensus and then places like "the belief systems" which are consensus and are not effected by thought easily. While in the non-consensus areas your thoughts will create whatever you are thinking about, so you can create whatever fictional place that you want.

Keep in mind that this kind of thing most likely doesn't happen over night if you are new to projecting.

Hope this sheds some light on the subject.

Hi all,

So I was thinking today about how disabled people may be at an advantage when it comes to projecting.  Another thought flowed in parallel to this one wondering why more crippled people and such don't take full advantage of this gift called Astral Projection.

There may be several reasons why "more" don't, the main one being that they most likely just don't know that it's possible or even exists. This to me is sad when I consider that a person in a wheel chair, paralyzed from the neck down, could have lived a fantastic life by simply slipping into the astral planes. The crippled could walk again or better.

Then you take someone like Stephen Hawking and I bet he projects every night. I would not doubt that all of the knowledge that he has came directly from the other side. This leads me to the point of this thread. Does a person with a disability such as blindness or complete paralysis have a natural amplification of other senses or abilities like astral projection?

Take a blind person for instance. It seems to me that they would be more aware of other things going on in their body in comparison to a person who has sight, who would possibly be too distracted to notice.

Just something to think about.

What about drinking Kool-Aid? 

Then I do a double spinning technique

This technique sounds cool, I think think I will try it.

It's odd, but when I first started posting on this forum I only remembered one OBE as a child. Now I seem to be remembering more and more of them as a small child.

I would lay in bed at night and I could literally make myself feel like I was on a ferris wheel, floating in water, spinning at extreme speeds with an axis near my belt or like wheel of fortune style. The one I remember most is that all of the sudden I would be traveling up a hill at an extreme speed and then crest the hill and go flying through the air. The hill usually resulted in waking up very quickly before hitting the ground. I could also make the entire bed feel like it flipping over and over with me still laying on it. I remember sinking through the bed several times too.

I wonder why I am suddenly remembering all of this?

astralrealmer,

I listen to ocean surf on Monroe's Gateway Experience CDs, that's all you hear most of the time. I would suggest saving up and buying the real deal. You can even buy each series separately if you are strapped for cash. They are $99.00 each.

http://www.monroeinstitute.com/store/home.php?cat=8

The popular Gateway Experience® Series evolved directly from The Monroe Institute's world-renowned residential Gateway Voyage® program. Like the residential program, the life-enhancing Gateway Experience is dedicated to developing, exploring and applying expanded states of awareness.

Beginning with Discovery, there are six audio-guidance exercises on 3-CDs called "Waves of Change." Each 3-CD series contains special Hemi-Sync® exercises designed to gently lead the listener into profound states of expanded awareness. While in such states, one has available a broader range of perceptions with which to solve problems, develop creativity or obtain guidance.

Each album is progressive in nature, building on the tools and techniques from the previous albums. The Gateway Experience Guidance Manuals, included with each Wave, prepare you for these exercises which help you to know, to understand your total self.

You will want to also start removing stress and negative thoughts from your life which will help. Fear will stop you in your tracks and is what stress and negative behaviors stem from.

That is a very awesome and inspiring OBE you had there. Be happy that you are making progress and don't rush it and you will do fine. Good luck.

Nice content newmethod,

And I appreciate your kind words about my blog. I hope the it will help my less than perfect memory remember my experiences.

I will keep an eyes on your progress as it is very helpful to me.

Best regards

David

Welcome aboard NPMR,

Yes this is perfectly normal based on Monroe. He describes the steps to have an OBE as 4 steps, Condition A - D.

Here is a quote from Monroe himself:

"Condition C is characterized by the shutting down of various sensory mechanism inputs, The sense of touch apparently goes first. You seem to have no feeling in any part of your body. Smell and taste soon follow, The auditory signals are next, and the last to fade out is vision."

jayzfelon,

I have no doubt in your abilities. You will succeed.

That's correct.

Do your projection last as long as dreams? When I'm dreaming my dreams seem to only last minutes then it's morning and time to wake up. Can you accomplish alot while your in a projection?

They don't last very long and unfortunately I have only been projecting for about a month. Fortunately I am determined so it will not be long and I will be able to do all of the above.

The longest OBE lasted for what seemed like 15 minutes. I passed through the back wall of my house and floated out into my backyard, took off and flew over Austin and then argued with some guy and their family about whether they were real or not.

Some people apparently have problems breaking free from there second body and can't move further than about 20 feet away from their physical body. I have not had this problem.

People using the scientific method will discover the physical component and process of OBE or consciousness projection.

I'm sure they will, and it will be a true breakthrough and even more so if people realize that even though there is a physical component involved, there is much more that science can't see.

Discoveries and exploration of the astral and beyond is accomplished by the projected consciousness.

Very true, without the human left brain side it would be a different story. I don't think the explorative side dies with physical death however, there seems to be so much more. Stuff that I need to validate for myself.

Have you read any of Monroe's books? He speaks about NVC (Non Verbal Communication) which he describes as being an extremely efficient universal way of communicating.

He states:

We say that a picture is worth 1000 words, A color picture is worth 10000 words. A moving color picture is worth a 100000 or more words in the transmission of information and.or communication.

NVC takes a quantum jump beyond moving color picture. It is direct instant experience and /or immediate knowing transmitted from one intelligent energy system and received by another.

Welcome to the forum krisko,

I would agree with your Dad that you indeed have a gift. It was very nice of him to tell you this rather than call you nuts.

I just learned about OBEs a little over a month ago myself when my friend mentioned it it to me. I think she mentioned it to me 10 years ago but I was somewhat close minded at the time. I started trying to induce after reading a website that provided techniques. I figured it would be foolish of me to just dismiss it and never know for sure when there were clear cut techniques to follow. 

I too am now a believer. I have had sleep paralysis episodes growing up as well and the first instinct was to wake up because fear took over. It never dawned on me that what was happening was a good thing. About 2 weeks after I had my first two OBEs I woke up in sleep paralysis, only this time I was ready. I was able to roll out of my body and begin exploring.

Keep us posted of your progress, we are all interested in hearing about what you discover. Humans, collectively realizing that OBEs are normal is a really important part of human evolution.

what if you believe in heaven and hell?

Then you will most likely end up in heaven or hell.

oh well it depends on your belief system/religion

You are correct. It depends on your belief system. Mine is currently that you make heaven and hell by your thoughts, along with others who share the same thoughts. I have had 6 OBEs, none of which I saw Heaven. When I have an OBE where I actually see Heaven my belief will become fact "for me".

I currently get my information about heaven and hell from reading books written by Monroe and Buhlman.

I don't have any sort of card that will allow me to buy things over the internet. I could probably mail the money in though, but my father is very close minded, and won't be very open to the idea of CD's to induce AP. He's not very open to the idea of AP period. He's going to question where I'm sending my money, and probably not allow me to buy the CDs.

I figured this might be the issue . My Dad had the same mindset when I was growing up. I will think about this and see if I can come up with a solution for you.

I have severe ADHD and I've had absolutely no problems inducing an OBE.

Yeah, same here. I have the chemical imbalance, but I just choose to ignore it and therefor I have no symptoms of it.

Fableflame,

I hate to sound like a wore out pair of shoes but the ability to keep your mind from wandering takes time and practice. Make your three goals a) Improved focus b) The money for the beats and c) a successful OBE. These 3 goals compliment each other perfectly.

I have noticed that you do indeed have the ability to focus on one thing and that's OBEs, you have been in the forum for the last 7 days without missing a beat focused solely on having an OBE. You have already begun to improve your focus. Good job!

What type of focus impairment? Feel free to respond to that question in private.

I had severe ADD / ADHD from about second grade through about 10 grade until I made the decision not to be that anymore. I know that ADD / ADHD is a chemical imbalance and I took drugs that helped, but things like this can be eliminated from your life by a decision alone. Granted the decision has to be firm with no doubts in your mind.

Astral Projection itself is very focus oriented and it may be in your best interest to fix the focus issue before trying to induce OBEs.

How do I go about doing that? And should I be asking for the money to buy the CDs or to help me to project?

I just simply think about what I want and ways to get it for a huge percentage of my waking hours and have no doubts in my mind that I will get it. Then within a short period of time I always get what I want.

You will also need a decent set of stereo headphones. These beats are only effective with headphones. Make sure to factor that into the cost when considering purchasing them, that is when you have the money.

Why not ask the universe to give you what you need? It works with moderate effort.

my subconscious is trying to reveal something to me

There's nothing like help from yourself. I have had several such dreams before and I find meaning from them most of the time and sometimes it's not over night. I think dreams are meant for the person who has them.

I only have one grand parent left and I witnessed two of them die. I sometimes wish that I could speak to them again, and one day I will. I would take to heart any message that came to me in the form of my grand parents. That's just me.

I am not sure what it meant but I can tell you that it was not nonsensical. When was the feeling of love ever nonsensical?

I was reading this topic and I just had to start this thread back up. Sorry

So in regards to out of body experiences being dismissed as being purely created by the physical brain alone and nothing else, how do we explain Monroe's students who were able to interact with each other as a team when experimenting with this? 

Sure you can say that they were all a bunch of liars and that it never happened, but then you have to ask yourself what their motivation is for lying?

It basically comes down to what you believe to be true, but I myself have read almost all of Monroe's material and he seemed perfectly sane and so did his students. I know Monroe had nothing to gain from going public with all of this at the time that he did. He was already a successful business man who had everything he needed.

What about the Lifeline program where people were able to get information from people who had died and then validate the information.

I believe that Monroe was being honest.

What about things that you see in the astral plane that you have never seen before in waking life? Where does all of this information come form? Thin air? What's thin air? Would we call thin air the astral plane? There has to be a source for all of this information that people pull out of their you know what. For example at the Monroe Institute they have real live recordings of people talking through a monitor while out of there body. Sometimes relaying information from beings on the other side. The things they said were profound, and most of these people were not philosophers, they were just average Joes. So where did all of these profound speeches they recorded come from? Science can't explain it at the moment.

There are simply too many things that point toward a reality in which the brain and the mind are separate.

Honestly, I don't care if a scientist is hell bent of not believing in life after death etc... I will prove it to myself and live a life of peace and hope that one day the scientists join me.

Here's a final quote from one of the greatest scientist of the 20th century, who believed in more than the physical brain. You have to understand that there are good and bad scientists .

"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."

-- Albert Einstein

Thanks ancient_one,

I will link your blog to mine and read over it later tonight.

I figure greater awareness will naturally extend itself into having OBE..

I think this is very true. About 13 years ago I got caught up is the fast paced lifestyle and "habit" was my middle name. Every day I would do the same things and run around like a chicken with my head cut off. I was in a nowhere job and I was the person you didn't like because you would see me driving down the road on the cell phone oblivious to the world.

Then about that same time I bought a house out in the country way out away from the city. The change was slow but I started breaking out of this pattern. I would come home late at night and notice that out in the country I could see the stars, I could literally see our Milky Way Galaxy stretching across the entire width of the sky. This made me think about the habits I had created which caused me to never stop to notice anything else.

There was something about the peacefulness of being out under the quiet star lit sky that made me realize how ridiculous my previous hectic life was. This is really hard to explain to someone who has never experienced this. I get this same feeling when I drive up into the mountains by myself and sit out by mountain stream. I can feel nature saturating my soul and a calmness comes over me and I feel like I am melting into the earth.

I lived in this house for 5 years, same nowhere job, but I started making a conscious effort to notice other things. I would sit on my porch every night out under the stars and reflect on my day and think about the universe.

One night while reflecting I realized that I was not happy with my life and that I wanted a good wife, kids and a better job. I was single at the time and felt that I was not doing anything great with my life and I had just ended a nasty relationship.

Sometime during the next week it was raining very hard one night and I felt compelled to step out into the rain and ask out loud for changes that I wanted to see in my life. This would change my life forever.

Throughout the course of the next year I changed every habit that I had previous created that was negative or counterproductive and started to REALLY notice things around me. I consciously made decisions that I knew would help me achieve the things I wanted. I never doubted myself once. I was grateful for the few things I had and hopeful for the future.

It was simply amazing how much the positive thoughts changed my life. It was 6 years ago to date when I stepped out into the rain and asked for change and today I am happily married with a beautiful daughter and a fantastic job doing what I like in a new city 1000 miles away from where I felt trapped at one time.

I have applied this technique of using thoughts to create my reality over and over again and I have yet to be disappointed. For example I filed bankruptcy in 2001 and ruined my credit. I applied the thought techniques to fixed my credit and now my credit score is very close to 800. I could have just as well accepted a credit score of 590 as my reality and continued through my life doing the same things as before.

I feel like the more you become aware of other things / possibilities, the more you will naturally break habits, as you stated. This will be the same for OBEs, I have NO doubt in my mind.

People, if you want to achieve your goals, break old habits and think about your goals and how to achieve them every hour of the day and it will become reality. Never doubt your abilities.
