Thank you very much, this is a helpful advice, the tunnel-allegory is priceless.
🙏

Your welcome. We all come here to help, learn and share! 

 You will find that with continued practice, it takes mere seconds to actually begin moving into that darkness before your eyes, whereas in the beginning that would take 45 minutes to an hour and half to do. That is what continued "brain entrainment" will do for you. In a way, it becomes your "new norm"! 

 Tom Campbell used to say, "the NPRs are just a simple focus away"! We just have to learn how to, "allow" and get out of the way so that new NPR can appear.

I have some other interesting stories. I may share them at some point.

Welcome to the Astral Pulse! 

 We are all ears! When you are ready, share away! 

 Welcome to the Astral Pulse! 

 Not much I can comment on just yet, other than the fact that is looks like you are being led down this path! It shows in your "otherworldly experiences". Now you have to find the reason why. It's time to don your "Explorer's Cap" and see what you can see, learn what you can learn. The NPR (non-physical realities) are a school, just like this physical reality here is and just like with this reality here, the NPRs have their own "rulesets" that, you need to and will be taught to navigate. One of the main ones there is "thought = action+ almost immediately. Example of that, there is no need to pick up a ball from the ground to throw it because the ball is already in your hand.

 The first teaching will be to control your excitement. That is instantly a deal breaker. Once you do, you will find there are other requirements as well. But those will be taught to you when you are ready for them.

Thanks for the advice!
Yes, I already read this in your primer, but after several months of trying it this way I switched to be more active.
Even if I lay there for an hour or in the middle of the night (thanks to insomnia which I get as soon as I lay there with the hope of experiencing something), I see some small streaks or a little bright star, and nothing happens.
I tried to just wait and observe if they change, but they just wander slooowly from one side to the other and disappear.

Seeker, "jump start" the process. By that I mean utilize creative visualization to get the process in motion. This has been called "priming the pump". Create your own "Happy Place". Work on a project or hobby. Entertain your mind with a visual sport, like shooting hoops or even using a virtual "yo-yo". "Lose yourself" in the "etheric action" or activity. You will see how good an approach like this works. Soon your "imaginary" focal target will take on a life of it's own.

 Do not, for any reason, turn your focus back to what your physical body is doing. This will immediately kill any success you have made. That is a hard thing not to do, but is necessary if you wish to maintain a NPR (non-physical reality) focus. This won't always be the case though. After a while, you will find that you can maintain a "dual" focus. For now, you have to work on holding a focus, period.

 There is a famous song from a band named "38 Special" that is called "Hold on loosely, but don't let go". In a nutshell, that is what you need to learn to do.

 When I do a phase session and am focused on the etheric motion "forward". I see what is in front of me as moving into a cave, hallway or tunnel. Many times, as I am moving deeper into the darkness there, I start to see imagery on the walls of that cave, tunnel or hallway. At that point I can lock onto that imagery, passively observe it and see where it leads to or I can just ignore it, until a more vivid object or scene appears. Either way, it will lead to something new to explore.

Thank you Lumaza.  I always love your input.  It's puts things back in perspective.  I just hope this was not a fluke and that it continues.  This small success makes me MORE determined than ever.

My next goal is to get out again and fly to the moon...

I'M THRILLED!!!

You're welcome! 

Unfortunately, you will find you are challenged to repeat it "like you already did". I find that the next couple of times after the initial success seem to be more challenging than the initial one was. That's when the real "tests" begin. I don't believe it was a fluke, but I do believe that your next success will be something that you never expected. Good luck!

 Scientism strikes again!

 How you did it? Your continued practice and patience finally convinced your "higher self" that you are ready to experience anew. You have been using a very strong form of "brain entrainment". You have showed your passion and never gave up. You were challenged, yet you met those challenges head on. Congratulations. Pretty soon you are going to also notice that just simply closing your eyes kind of jump starts the whole process again and again. You probably also notice by now that when you just simply close your eyes, it looks and "feels" different than it did before.

I think that a distinction is necessary here.

If you want a collection of NDE's that remarkably affected and altered people's lives, you probably won't find much of that here; you will find some. Possibly check out the many books of literally hundreds, if not a few thousand and more NDE's that author P.M.H. Atwater has compiled.

Here, on the Pulse, you will find Non-Physical explorer's reportings of their experiences. And these experiences don't so much as 'remarkably affect and alter' the experiencer's life...as much as they serve to 'confirm' their prior spiritual understanding, beliefs and intuitions. You will find that most of the seasoned experiencers here at the Pulse have always had these beliefs, literally from birth! They did not need an event to wake them up! They were already awake! The experiences, whether NDE's or OBE's have only confirmed our thinking. That is not to lessen the power of the experiences, only to point out that many of us already had intuitional understanding to begin with. The experiences certainly can adjust or modify our prior concepts, and I think the majority of us remain open to new and more refined understandings as we grow and evolve. It is likely a never-ending system of learning and we remain open to that.

I agree with you EV. The one word and an important one at that, that I missed above in my post was "confirmation". Many of us that are here on the Pulse have a strong sense of just "knowing". It was like we were born with it. Possibly we retained some of that knowing from our time out between lives. It's when that knowing finally becomes confirmed, that it really becomes our "reality".

[The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence." Nicolai Tesla]

I don't believe for a second that the question cannot be answered, I believe that we haven't even begun to ask the correct questions in order to be finding what really needs finding.

just like my Forum signature here says "The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence."  Nicolai Tesla

Thanks for the link. I can't find any comments there about how the experiences of OBEs have changed people spiritually, like NDEs have been reported as doing. By "spiritually", I mean, changed people's outlook on life to a profound degree.

Did you somehow miss this part of the post there?
 
 "From this practice you will become more "aware" of everything around you. It's kind of like "seeing" for the first time. You will see we are much more than you first thought we were. You will also find many "gifts" along the way. I feel that the reason we become "blocked", even the most experienced APers, is because we stop using what is being shown to us, what we are taught and we begin to revert back to our old ways. Also, it's because "life happens" and the deeper we get into the physical, the further we move away from the other.  A sense of balance is very important here.

I wrote this under another name I once used here on the Astral Pulse Forum and I still hold it true today:
" Learning these things has it's positives. But it has it's negatives as well. The more I learn and "know", the farther I grow away from the woman I love. I don't feel like I am growing away, but I can see it in her reactions and attitude towards me now. It tends to desensitize you to things that in life that we should be sensitive to. Just knowing that you are more then your physical body changes your outlook/mindset on life quite a bit. This is why there are many people that start down this road, but can't continue. The physical life fights back and ground them."

To this a good friend of mine and former member/Moderator here replied:
"This! This right here would be my only "warning" to people. It's a hard concept to explain how you grow to be more loving  and compassionate yet you are also less affected by tragedy and sensitive issues. I know longer care about concepts like justice or revenge. I would have no problem with the Hitler's of the world dying and then immediately going to their own heavens without a second of punishment. Why? Because my experiences have taught me to be accepting and nonjudgmental. I've learned lessons in the NP that ten lifetimes of reading religious books couldn't teach me."

 Spiritually and any other way, it completely altered my mind set on almost everything I used to believe. This has been said by countless people that have experienced a non-physical reality (NPR) experience of their own. I have read stories from people that were leaders of fortune 500 and very successful companies, that gave up their entire lifestyle and occupation upon having their own "awakening". That awakening occurring due to a NPR experience they had. That experience could have been a NDE. OBE or even came due to deep trance state as the result of meditation.

 If you get tired of all the other ones, you can "do" my Doorway technique. It a "focus" technique, like all others are. But it comes at the focus in a different way. It has evolved quite a bit from the way it began. Now it utilizes "visualization", with "tactile/etheric body" sensations and lastly "mental motion".

 Don't "try" it. Either use it or don't. The word "try" implies failure. Ask a Hypnotist. It's one of their favorite "go to" words.

Thanks Orian!  Definitely a must-read!

And I see one of the reviews is Fred Aardema! 
He used to be a moderator here under the name Major Tom. 

A very well respected one as well. Fred went on to form his own Forum called "Explorations in Consciousness". the same name as his book. I had great conversations with his him there in his "Chat window". Unfortunately, he closed the Forum. Many of the longtime members from the Pulse were members on his Forum too.

In my opinion, science needs to answer the question of "where is consciousness?" before it can start to tackle the question of what are OBE's/Projections.  Obviously, our brains are going to have an interaction when we project - our brains control so much of what we perceive to be.

I hope we make these discoveries within my life time - but I'm feeling like this isn't going to be the case.  :/

Science needs to go back to Scientific "exploration" and drop the "Scientism", that they seem to be stuck in. Is Pluto still a planet this week? I am so confused! 

 The "Chat window" sounds cool! That would give more of a "personal touch" to the Forum! 

 It's funny. There is a man named "DR. Eben Alexander" that used to teach exactly what they are saying above. That is until he had his own NDE. After that experience his new mission in life turned to educating people on what "reallY' is going on. A lady named Dr. Jill Bolt Taylor did the same thing. You can find her talk on "Ted Talk".

 I know a number of people that had NDEs and it completely altered the rest of their life here. There are countless stories that you can read wherein people are describing how a "NDE" or even a spontaneous OBE changed them in one way or another. Normally for the better.

 Years ago, here on Pulse, I made this thread and thankfully one of the Moderators here stickied it. It made it much easier to find.

Ask and thou shall receive!  How's that?

MUCH better thanks. These old eyes don't work like they used to. It sucks having to hunt down the Readers all the time! 

ACTUAL members!  Not spam bots!  I've killed those. 

Wow, I'm sure the Moderators here are ecstatic about that! I know what a chore that was!     

I'm also curious if the techniques taught by Steven Greer for remote viewing and contacting alien life have come from this.

Steven Greers CE-5 protocols are a great "walkthrough" and we know here how good "walkthroughs" can be to "project"!

I guess that's why they say that you don't ever LOSE your ego, you simply learn to exist THROUGH it.  Meaning, you accept yourself (and others) just as you are, emotions and all. 

You should be able to embed youtube videos directly into your posts now with the YouTube button in the tool bar.

Thank You! 

 I guess I am still stuck on Astral Pulse Forum. It will take a bit to get used to the new, improved, Astral Pulse Forum. I still don't know how to post photos here though. I couldn't do it on the old Forum either.     

Jenn, after seeing your beautiful Artwork there, I have to ask you "are you sure you haven't been having non-physical experiences for years already? Your Art shows that if you haven't, then you have opened up a "Channel" to someone that has! 
A fantastic rendition of the "real' thing! 

The world is such a chaotic mess right now.  Sometimes I wonder what humanity would think if they knew that we were all truly connected via consciousness - that we are all truly ONE ENTITY. 

How would people treat each other if we knew that hurting another is the same thing as hurting yourself.  I think the world would change for the better. 

Even though the gentleman in this video realized this all to be true, he still has his "Human side". He says at the end of the video that although he strives to control his anger and angst, he is still "Human" first and that means that he still has the emotions that go with the Human experience here. A fantastic video nonetheless!

Thank you for your reply. I figured, it is very dependent on the individual.

I had to look up Marconic Energy to see what you were talking about. The article I was reading was comparing it to "Reiki". I see it's more of one of those "pay to play" things. Meaning, to learn how to do it or have a session with/utilizing it, you have to shell out some "Benjamins".

I use Robert Bruce's NEW as a way to "prime the pump" before my Phase sessions. I use it to "defer" pain once in a while too. I also use my "Egyptian Healing Rods" as a energetic tool as well. Feeling the sensation of moving energy up, down, and around your body, without actually "physically touching" it, will make a believer out of just about anyone!  The thing is, people need to take the time to learn how to do it.

[special]

So, good news... Adrian might be giving me the forum to work with.  At the very least, I'll have the domain name, so that's something.

I'll keep you all apprised on what happens.  

Well, this may have turned out to be a "false alarm" this time. It is great to see how everyone came together to save a fantastic Forum that was near and dear to all of us. That kind of comradery is what truly makes this Forum "special"!  

 It sounds like everyone here wants to help make this move successful. I commend you all for that. That really shows that we truly are surrounded by good natured, like-minded individuals here and I "THANK" you all for that!  

We could use this thread here for the next 9 days to brainstorm ideas on how we can make this all happen. The "Stickies" are kind of the "nucleus" of this Forum. Sure there are thousands upon thousands of great threads and posts here, but the Stickies are filled with fantastic techniques and all kinds of helpful tips and info that has been shared through the years by the many valued past and present members here. If any past member wishes that we not use their Sticky, we will immediately omit/delete it from the Forum.

If there are any threads that are near and dear to you, you can always download them yourself in PDF form and bring them over to the new Forum or keep them for yourself.
