Good afternoon Xanth, happy 2025 to you. What have you been up to lately?

Exactly what I love doing!  NOTHING!!   

Hi Persephassa!!

Welcome back to the Astral Pulse.

I'm really glad to hear that you've figured things out in your life and attempted to find some balance.

And congratulation on your upcoming marriage.  <3

Happy 2025 Everyone! 

But I know one thing. Even if none of this is real and we have just this one life and then will cease to exist, I am having hell of a fun and joy by believing what I am believing  and making the most of it. Where as if someone is pondering on negativity and doubt, constantly chasing, constantly worrying, then this one life is spent in pain. Is it worth it.

That truly exemplifies the statement - "you create your own reality". 

I have been practising Xanth's phasing technique for a while now and also during meditations I sometimes have flashes of landscapes and places that last about a second or two. I'm not very good at visualising and these flashes are much clearer than what I could visualise and I also don't know how this can come from my mind as they are so different to what I would imagine.

Hi!!

Yes, as Frosty mentioned, this a really good sign.  These are called Hypnogogic Images.  They usually will make no sense to you and seem to be just images pulled from your experience somehow.  This is showing that you are teetering on the cliff of projecting.  They are, essentially, mini projections - however, since you're still mostly connected to this physical, your awareness kicks back in analyzing, and is like, "WHOA, what was that?!"  which then causes the disconnect and why they only last a second.

So you're doing great.  Just keep deepening your awareness towards the phasing method you're using.  You're getting there! 
 

And if so, could you guys please give me some advice on how to prolong these flashes?
Is it possible that the reason for the short duration is my intellect kicking in?

Exactly, but don't worry too much about focusing ON them.  They're just one of those "signpost" experiences that tell you you're on the right path.  Keep focusing on the method you used to bring them on. 

This kinda reminded me of "The Mermaid" by Great Big Sea...

Somewhat late, but Happy Holidays and new year for everyone!

Never too late to spread cheer!  <3

Haha!  I just came here to do just this.

From the Astral Pulse family to everyone out there, have a safe and happy Xmas, Holidays and wonderfully spiritual New Year! 

Great video, Frosty! Agree with every word. I suggest those who have fears to watch from 59:40 mark. We are already in the non-physical as we speak. We are not inside this body that serves as a protector. It's the other way around, this body is within our spirit. So, technically there can be no harm, but if someone believes they can be attacked or harmed they can create such psychological experience. There is nothing we need to do to protect observes either. If we believe that we need protection of sort, then we have the believe that we can be harmed. So, we have to take the time to truly understand existence, and then the  fears will fall off automatically.

Beautifully said, LB.

I've been trying to teach that to people for a while now.  It's amazing how people have latched onto a material viewpoint of this reality even as they're trying to learn something like Astral Projection and they don't even realize it. 

The simple fact that if you believe you need protecting means subconsciously that you believe you can be harmed.  KNOW that you're safe, KNOW that you cannot be harmed.  You are a being of infinite power, how exactly can that be harmed?  The only being with the power to harm you is yourself. 

Ah, there are no accidents, chances or good luck/bad luck. Everything is orchestrated for reasons that test/teach all involved.

I don't know how much I believe that.  Doesn't that mean that everything we do is pre-determined?  I believe in free will.  How do those two concepts reconcile?

Oh man, yeah.  It costs absolutely nothing to be kind in this world.  It saddens me so much when I see so many people choosing to be mean and cruel. 

Welcome aboard.

The Pulse has a great search function you can find at the top right.
There is over 20 years of knowledge within these hallowed halls.  Enjoy!

My first spiritual forum was "Spirit Online", which went offline many MANY years ago.  Project Radiant Light sounds like it was a wonderful place. 

As for the name Angel, did you want it?  The account was apparently never used much.  The name is yours if you'd like.

In the end, meditation is meditation.  Don't get caught up in anything else.

However you wish to connect with yourself, is the manner in which you connect with yourself. 

It's really just... that... simple.

Hmm.... Now I have to watch The Beekeeper. 

Nope.  You don't *have* to watch "The Beekeeper".  ** speaking generally and cryptically here LOL **
Realize that you're choosing to watch "The Beekeeper".
It never was pre-requisite.

Empathy...

The one thing humans today have completely abandoned.  So few people have empathy for their fellow awareness.  If it's not within their frame of reference, it has no value to them.

You can only become so powerful worrying about only yourself.

Very beautiful and I'll mirror Frosty's statement, great lessons in there to live by!

If their email address is still active, and being a gmail account, it just might be - you can always tag people by putting an @ before their username.  The forum will auto-send out an email to them notifying them of being tagged. 

Let's try and see if Steve appears!  @aussie_swede

My musical tastes range quite extensively from Classical to Aerosmith and most things in between.  Mostly, I'm partial to Great Big Sea and Alan Doyle (since GBS disbanded a while back). 

I understand, but what exactly is the difference between Lucid awareness and astral awareness? In the sense that they are very similar, I don't think I quite understand the differences between the two.

We'll start with a dream awareness, which is what you'd probably just call a "dream".  It's you experiencing the non-physical, yet you don't realize it.  Essentially, you're the actor in the play not knowing you're in a play.

Lucid awareness is when, at the very base level of it, you realize you're non-physical.  You might not understand at that exact moment that your physical body is sleeping elsewhere, but you know you're not in the physical.  You're now the director of the play.

Astral awareness is the goal of what most people aim for when they say they want to do astral projection.  It's you being non-physical and you have your full waking awareness.  That's the same awareness you have right this very second while awake and reading this post.  You know who you are, what you are, with all your full memory intact.  You're now the writer, director and actor.  If that makes any sense.  You hold all the positions.

I also find that there's a measure of consciousness:subconsciousness associated with each level.

Dream Awareness is 0:100 - your subconscious mind is fully in control of the experience.
Astral Awareness is 100:0 - your conscious mind is fully in control of the experience.
Lucid Awareness is a mixture of the two, we'll just say for arguments sake 50:50 - you are controlling the experience with the help of your subconscious mind.  That's why manipulating the environment is much easier with a lucid awareness, compared to an astral awareness.

All of that make sense?

I've head hundreds of APs in the past 20 + years. I know very well what the sleep paralysis and vibrations are, I know I am safe, but if I feel like something is walking in my bed and I can not see it and I am paralyzed, hell I freak out and wake myself up lol.

hehe The complete irrational nature of ourselves boggle the mind sometimes! 

Actually, I came across this left brain / right brain thing recently again... studies are showing (since 2013) that our brains don't favour one side over the other.  Just another myth people love to perpetuate for some reason. 

You've got some definitions you're playing with which I don't subscribe to.

"Astral"
"RTZ"
"Higher realms"

These are things which humans have subjectively labeled.  It's like subjectively labeling the different forests of the earth as one being more "green" than another and believing that the more green they are, the "better" they are.  This is a subjective way to look at it.

We're all part of consciousness.  Consciousness as a whole.  That includes everything.  There is no higher or lower in the whole... there's only consciousness.

In regards to the fear - that was a choice you made.  Being overcome by it is just another way to say you chose it.  You're perfectly safe.  You are an infinite being - so what are you afraid of exactly?  Where does the source of that fear come from.  What is the definition of what you're afraid of coming from?  It's introspection. 

I am talking about a life altering visit from a being very high up in the Divine realm.

YOU are that being.  I am that being.  Everyone and everything is that being. 

There's a perspective change you will eventually find.  It comes to the point where all definitions eventually break down and you're left with... I guess the easiest term to use is: Source / Consciousness / That which is.  Whatever you want to call it. 

Does that make any sense?

Fear is incredibly easy to deal with - you make the realization that you are 100% perfectly safe and realize that absolutely no harm can come to you.

You project each and every night of your life and you've always woken the next day perfectly safe. 

This knowledge allows you to transmute that fear into curiosity.

My wife and I just got back from a group trip Scuba Diving the waters around Bonaire.  Beautiful country.
Here are a few highlight pictures!

That's a Baitball (thousands of fish schooling together), an octopus and an eel. 

[separate]

I'm starting to see that there is actually very little difference between the "exit" or "separation" methods and the "Phasing" methods.  Basically, all techniques seem to be phasing techniques.  Our subconscious mind fills in the rest based upon the method you're doing at the point of triggering the projection reflex.

When we experience the vibrations and people then start a "separation" method, your subconscious mind says, "Oh, you're trying to separate, so you want to be in a place closely reflecting that of where your physical body resides" and when you finally do "project", you're there in the room where your physical body resides. 

When we experience the vibrations and we just continue on with the method which brought those vibrations on - we end up potentially anywhere - just appearing in a different reality.

So yeah, I'm really starting to see that *ALL* projections are phasing.  And phasing is all that there really is.  It's our subconscious mind filling in the blanks of where we end up.
