[I started on my journey almost a year ago, and I just want to immerse myself in this. I feel like I need a teacher]

Hey all,

I have to ask. How do you develop the patience to allow things to reveal themselves to you? This has been the most difficult part of this journey for me.

My head has practically been spinning since Saturday night when I had my most powerful, profound experience yet. Since then, I've been looking back on my journals of previous accounts. As things progressed, I made the mistake of dismissing previous experiences as "astral projections" due to subsequent experiences revealing more and more of the potential of this journey. I'm a bit mad that I let myself make this mistake along the way, but I guess my realizations count as progress.

I've been reading books (Monroe's Journeys Out of the Body, Raduga's The Phase, and I just started William Buhlman's Adventures Beyond the Body), practicing yoga nidra meditations, The Gateway Tapes, binaural meditations, and trying to simply set intentions to help induce AP.

It's like the Dunning-Kruger effect, where each experience shows me how much more there is, andhow little I currently know. My issue is that with each experience, I just want to go further. It's my understanding that the more you try, the more difficult it can become, but I'm struggling to let it happen on its own.

I started on my journey almost a year ago, and I just want to immerse myself in this. I feel like I need a teacher. My experiences have changed my whole outlook on everything I know, but my biggest struggle is figuring out how to let it happen.

The solidarity of this, and the trial and error nature of this journey has been difficult. I feel like I'm dying of thirst in a hot desert, and each experience is a small sip of water that's barely enough to keep me going.

Any advice? Part of me just wants to talk about it with someone.

Hello, Traveler

As students on the path we grow ( on our path ) through various stages. You are noticing this. Good!

We often begin somewhat on our own and see how far this takes us. When we hit the crossroads where it seems we may go no further, or that the pace at which we are moving seems to be too slow we tend to look for a teacher, and hopefully that teacher has classes that put us in touch with other students who are also on the path; most will be beginners themselves, a few will be intermediate and perhaps 1-3 quite advanced. This is the perfect alchemy for us to enter when this point is reached. Although the teacher is indeed pivotal, most of what we learn as students is from the student-body. This is why it is important to seek a notable teacher who will draw a high quality student-body. What we are learning as Explorers is not often taught in person, but at a certain point it will be important to graduate from simple text/forum boards, to at least online Zoom talks and practice sessions.

The most important space for a student to hold for him/herself is an accurate view of exactly where they are on the path. Steamrolling too fast through the foundational aspect of that upon which we walk will be ripe with pitfalls and setbacks. This is why the question you have brought to us today is SO important. It is best for a beginner to realize they are a beginner, and therefor work diligently at laying for themselves a proper, sturdy, sustainable foundation-for-practice.

Our reason for practicing what we are should be known by us. The quality of our reason can be a roadblock, or that which sets us free. Our reason should be investigated deeply, and contemplated for a long while.

We are experiencing in every moment- every moment is and should be of equal importance to us in our practice. An inability to hold a singular point of focus, and purely observe, is the culprit behind our not being more aware of depths of what we are experiencing. This is why, more fundamentally to AP/OBE the practice is to learn to hold a point of focus and purely observe. Ie: meditation. We experience something in EVERY meditation. Each one should be logged, just as dreams should be every morning. There is no hierarchy in consciousness states. Each is equally important and holds critical data.

When coming into that advanced state on the path, practice is everyday. It is both solo and in groups.

There is much to do before arriving at this juncture.

What is your first thought for your next step?

This is the second post in a row here I am reading with reference to the concept of a doorway.

Is a message being sent? 

Now, I'm just going to put a few additional notes here.

First of all, I credit most of this to Lumaza's "Doorway". I had decided to give it a shot, but last night was the second attempt I was making at trying it. I was just focusing on absolutely clearing my mind and never even got to the point where you visualize the Doorway and ask yourself questions about it. Thank you, Lumaza for sending your link.

For future readers, can someone please put the link to Lumaza's "Doorway" technique here?

I believe I have read it, but also want to doublecheck. Thanks!

[These are 3 breaths that I both teach and practice regularly >>]

Where would you suggest I look door learning more about pranayama and yogic breathing?

I can help you if you like. I have taught and practiced for decades.

A good way to begin is with a simple puraka ( in-breath ) and recheka ( out-breath ). Bringing awareness into the full length of the inhale and full length of the exhale. After a few breaths, as you follow the inhale, begin to bring more awareness into the very end/top of the breath -- feel the sensation there. Repeat this process with the exhale. Do 3 rounds of 8 breaths. This is a passive exercise. You are just bringing awareness into inhale, exhale and ends of the breath.

After you finish the 3 rounds, if you would like to keep going, the next step is to actively extend the ends of the breath, by feeling the sensation right there at the very tips and deliberately inhaling/exhaling a little more. The idea is to extend ( not by pushing but ) by relaxing.

Note: an additional element -of breathing in general- is opening into both the front and back body. So when you breathe, let the torso be like a balloon *a balloon that expands equally to the front and back with each inhale, and contracts in toward the spine with each exhale.

This is a very good way to begin.

It will acquaint you with your breath and rest as a most excellent foundation for more complex breathing patterns.

Anytime you would like instruction on how to build your practice, I am here. We could even pop onto a Zoom.

I found the forum a few months ago, but decided to join to maybe ask for advice.

I've been doing the Gateway Tapes, hatha yoga, chakra meditation, and yoga nidra with some results, but I want to refine my techniques. The information here is great and looks promising. I'm glad this forum seems to cover all the bases in a constructive way.

I feel like I've stagnated in my progress lately, but I'm trying to not get discouraged. I try to avoid trying the same techniques over and over, so as to not "burn out" from lack of progress.

Hello, Traveler_2649

I come to where I am now ( a seasoned OBEr ) through practice disciplines also.

My only focus the first few decades was to know the self -not to astral travel / go out of body or even anything else. The reason I am saying this is because I wish to say to you that IF, or so long as you are doing your practice(s) then there is never any stagnation. You are going deeper into those disciplines and they are preparing you inevitable climax moments. Do you keep a log of your practices / meditations? I would suggest it, it will keep you observing more than you might otherwise, and also serve as a record you can look back on to remind yourself of how much actually is taking place. It is so interesting how when we are not making the logs we can have the tendency to think to ourselves that nothing is really happening, when that thought could actually not be any further away from the truth. I have blown my mind with this observation so many times it now just makes me laugh. I like your array of practices, these are very good, notably meditation ( and more notably silent sitting meditation ) and the yoga nidra. You might think of adding an energy practice, such as pranayama, yogic breathing, and bring a few patterns into your array. Tratak ( conscious gazing, candle flame gazing, etc. ) could be very helpful to you as well.

I look forward to seeing you around the board.

I bring back my dreams every day -the last 5 years, but it is a very rare occurrence that anything from the more mundane level of my dreaming gets my attention. I am shown things, yes, definitely, but I have no idea how far in advance and I have never tracked the data. So I would have to say no. Even though 'real' data very definitely comes through that area. In OBEs I am shown much more that actually does come to pass. Like my father's passing, for instance, I was taken to his house and shown a realtor who was there to sell it. Shortly after my dad passed out on his kitchen floor, was sent to the hospital and then hospice where he passed. I feel our connections with our Inner being are continuing to expand, and so much is possible by way of communication. ( case in point, that which comes to me through of all things a crystal! ). I might suggest you hone in on this while the energies are good. There is no telling what could manifest from it. What are your ideas?

Thank you for listening in, Lightbeam!

My Las Vegas in more the desert than the strip, which even living there for 40+ years I can count the times I've been on with a single hand, lol. The Nevada desert is truly extraordinary. Breathtaking, truly. Magical. Even now I still feel a very strong draw and connection to it. I cannot say why. But maybe one day that will come back to me. It is good that you had fun there with your sister, I can see why the two of you would have been delighted. It is true it rarely snows down in the city, but 30 miles outside it, in the high desert it snows annually. Lee Canyon is a place the locals go snow skiing. There is about every type of terrain you can imagine ( and [ magically ] more ) there. The meter I would hear as a child was not out in the desert, but it would often lead me out into the desert. Back then, in the 1960s-70s that was about all there was. That sound accompanied me everywhere. It never struck me as odd. Area 51 has been moved. The old one is just a shell. Very little to get close to there anymore.

I went on with Rob, /The Typical Skeptic Podcast to discuss the topics of crystal technology and dream walking. Some new memories resurfaced in order to tie these two concepts in together. I had a lot of fun. I started talking and almost could not stop, lol. This is happening more these days as I practice to open not just my voice but my vocal channel to higher information and energy flows. Out of body experience ties right in and is also discussed. Namely the conscious shift.

Other than my periodic giggling -I know I've got to work on that ( ack ) -let me know what you think!

A warm thank you in advance for listening in.

[Covered in Chapters 4-6]

This body of work began in 2017, but it wasn't until roughly the year 2020 that I really began having the opportunity to work with it. At this time I began not only trying to understand it at a greater depth and to a greater degree but explaining the process involved to others. It has been a gradual but ongoing process of discovery. It is challenging to unpack something like this, that has at this time, to my knowledge, no originating precedence. In this compilation, which is far from complete is the real time unfolding of what I am learning AS I am learning it. Please note that the compilation flows BACKWARDS in time, with the newest clips added continually at the front.

Covered in Chapters 4-6

00:00 Chapter: Portals and Stargates
00:05 How I am going into the crystal with the camera
01:55 The best time to work with the crystal, the various portals
03:15 The Lionsgate, the Sirius activation of the crystal
04:38 First contact experience, Meeting Meshahare
09:07 Working with the portals, notably the sun portal
10:15 Charging yourself, developing your gaze, tratak leading into sun gazing
13:05 Stargates within the human system
14:52 Various ( additional ) ways to charge oneself

55:12 Altering the brainwaves to match the frequency of the information
55:50 The second type of call that can come through, LIVE transmissions

It is my hope that this is helpful to someone out there,
and to our world.

Thank you for bringing us the news, Volgerie, this truly saddens me. Some of us have a hard(er) road to hoe than some others of us but we work as a Singularity and the loss of Robert's presence ground level will be felt by us all. He filled a unique and important niche. I appreciate his work and Service and send him love as he crosses the Rainbow Bridge.

Your work is truly creative, Lumaza, I truly enjoy what you and others are devising with the crystals you are working with. As far as the cost of clear quartz, be careful where you shop ( NEVER on Etsy ). Again, simple clear quartz is not very expensive. I was just recently in at Ele's, probably THE nicest crystal shop in the Santa Monica area and her crystals of approximate size and shape to Isza were $350-500, which is a bit high but very fair for that area. I can't even imagine her overhead in that area. Anything more than this and you are likely getting rooked. Even the clearest of pieces that are 2-3 inches high will only go for about $50 tops in any reputable shop. Now, sometimes the quartz is not simple, it is rutilated, or sold as a 'lemurian', etc.. and this will cost more. But Isza is an example of simple clear cut quartz ( she is even a bit citrine, which also can cost more ). Every now and again you will get a shop owner who travels and hand picks all his merchandise and that shop owner will be looking for unique pieces and overvalue them, charging more for what more regularly goes for much less. But those Etsy examples you have given are just cleanly ripping people off. For goodness sakes, there are Vogel crystals that cost less, and Vogels are a technology, very few people on the planet who can cut a real Vogel. This is one example of how a quartz crystal can come to cost more than what I have stated. There are but a few rare exceptions. Crystal shops are in great abundance in Los Angeles, and most shops value their crystals very fairly. If it is ever an option to travel.

Casey, for the last year and a half now, I have been a vendor at almost weekly "wellness shows" throughout Minnesota. I have many friends that sell all kinds of Crystals and I knows hefty price that accompanies the purchase of some of them. In one of your videos you spoke of how you came upon your awesome Crystal. You said it was in a rock shop in your locale. I showed your video to a few of my Rock and Gem friends and they said a Crystal of the size you have is quite pricey. Possibly into the thousands of dollars. Is that what it cost you? I have Crystals of all kinds. Many are unique and a bit pricey as well. But the ones I am talking about are about an inch to 2 inches long. Similar to the size of a small "Herkimer Daimond". You said yours was a form of "Calcite" Crystal. Is that correct?

 I have been working quite a bit with "Angel Aura Quartz". I place a double rutilated piece in the center of a new braided "Pyramid" design that I created, that was shown to me in 3 nights of Dreams. It has become a popular item in the shows I do. The design came to me about 3 weeks ago. I attempting to put a picture of that "energy device" on here right now. I don't have "Photobook" anymore. The cost of the account kept rising.

Hi, Lu.. Isza, the crystal I work with the for crystal contact is a mildly citrine, clear quart crystal. Quartz is generally inexpensive as it is in such abundance on our planet. I found Isza around 2010 and paid $200 for her. Now-a-days she might go for near twice that. She is not very large, just a tad larger than the the palm of my hand. Calcite, just to say, is perhaps THE most affordable crystal on the planet. You can get HUGE basketball sized chunks of it for $100. It must be really fun for you, traveling around weekly to the wellness shows and getting to be around not just crystals but crystal people! Thank you for showing them my work. I really appreciate that. Your angel aura pyramid is beautiful. So creative! Is the pyramid made of copper ( I just adore copper ).

Mustardseed,

Yes you have to have to host the image somewhere, like Photobucket, or a website. I can host the image for you if you would like to send it to me. I will send you the URL.

[I think it is time. Let's talk about portals.]

[ Continuing with this video series ]

I think it is time. Let's talk about portals.

This clip specifically delves into WHEN to work with the crystal, the best times of day and seasons of the year when the signals easily come through, the contacts are abundant, and you are more likely to be graced with a LIVE call.  Also, it had been brought to my attention that I had not yet been clear on exactly how I am going into the crystal with the camera- so I touch on this as well.

Yes, I still am ( going through a lot with the K ), it gets better and easier as we become more experienced with it but there is always something more. In my case, the root chakra has not yet fully cleared. Almost, soo close, literally on the cusp but still not 100%. And I am still completing with a myalgia at the shoulders/neck/back of the head. I am meant to vocal channel, to accompany the visuals I bring through ( to our world ) to help prepare the human central nervous system for contact, ET contact. It is not effortless as our Service(s) come online. Fun!, incredibly fun but not effortless. Each of us patterns our attention to experience things in the way that is most comfortable for us. This is very true. And then, sometimes, there is an experience that comes through that we just can't take our focus off, we bore into it, and bore into it. Pushing ourselves further than we have ever gone before. Our overall experience can be a waxing and waning between these. My first four ( 4 ) years of the K were spent in more awe than anything else. The clearing of the body was not entirely pleasant, and some of it quite painful, but even this has been down at perhaps 5% relative to my awe, mostly at phenomena that occur within the conscious shift. It is the years following these four that things began to get hard. Through these years I had to more fully process ( through the body ) all I had come to experience. Which was substantial to say the least. I had been taken out regularly, near nightly for such an extended time. In the same way, you will agree to what YOU will in the experience you are now beginning to move through. You will make of it what YOU will. Yes, this is true of us all. Enjoy the easy times, and the hard times at least equally as well. It can be the torque between the two that shows us our real joy. I look forward to following your journey.

I am pleased to hear this, ( I can only call you ) Frostytraveler.

The energy surges and sensations experienced during the day I always recall as being very pleasant as well. Although what I experienced fundamentally by day was a constant underlying vibration. My whole body vibrated as though every cell in my body was in a lovely state of excitation. It felt like "my engine was running", to give a somewhat similar vehicular analogy, rather than the engine being turned off. If I touched a part of my body with another part of my body, for instance my fingertips to the opposite hand it felt as though one vibration had touched another. I was quite literally experiencing myself AS vibration, at all times during the day and then at night another set of experiences would come on me. The day vibration, in this heightened state lasted a whole year, possibly two. My central nervous system, from all that was happening was in shock. I feel this lovely day vibration was to assist with this. Also I could be downed, literally downed at any moment by the vibration, which had a transfer value experienced as tones coming perceptually from the center of the head. It could feel as though the ground was being removed from below my feet. All kinds of fun stuff, lol. It was fun for me in the greatest aspect. Something entirely new was happening.

Symptoms will continue to appear, and get worse if you do not find the avenue of expression for the energy. I made video logs twice weekly for years and years to help with some of this. I had opened a forum board the year prior and was mentoring others who were beginning to go out of body, and others moving through K processes. The website went up and the stage was further set for when the crystal contact work began. Which is now, and since 2017 another avenue of expression for the energy. There is always more coming. There may also, just to say, be awkward ways in which the energy wishes to express. Always say yes and run with it the best you can. It will generally feel really good to do so.

WATER is something you may find that helps you, soaking in water, turning on a hose and walking back and forth across the stream, if you live near the beach spending time down by water, even just walking - etc.. You will discover, if there are difficulties ( such as headaches ) what the resolution to them are. Being a brahmacarin ( a monastic, a celibate ) I had difficulty with the heightened sensations at the pelvic floor. A tantrik could have easily, physically expressed this energy but for me it took genius and creativity, lol. Whatever difficulty comes from you, you will find a way to resolve it. Because you must. The body can be taken down, otherwise. So you will. You just will.

This is one of my logs from 2010 -a mere year into my Experience.

My apologies, but youtube is putting old videos like this down to 240p. I may at some point take clips from some of the more helpful videos and re-upload them as a compilation on my new youtube channel.


begin @ 1:30

Many of the points you make appear to be the majority school of thought. Yes, Teal's opinion on Kundalini energy is a bit different than what many state. I thinks there are some points made that have universal application. Living authentically and not resisting this energy (or any energy) makes sense to me. I understand that with some awakenings, and depending on what the catalyst used, that Kundalini can be suddenly awakened and fully released too abruptly. For some, this can make the symptoms far worse.  Resisting an abrupt and full Kundalini awakening is likely impossible, while resisting sufficiently enough to keep this energy dormant by a lifetime of no spiritual development seems plausible.

Perhaps I am subconsciously concerned that there will be a rough patch ahead if this energy gets even stronger. I am hoping the gradual release of this energy and that laying the spiritual groundwork will make the transition easier, as Teal states.

In my earlier post I mentioned that of Chi energy is a 2, then "this" energy is an 11. I do not believe that Kundalini energy and Chi energy are the exact same thing. At minimum they are very different in scope and in intensity. At maximum, they are completely different energies.

So it appears that from your post even a top down Kundalini energy awakening could still be a rough ride. Regardless, even with differing opinions, all is helpful to me and I assimilate bits and pieces that ring true with me. Thanks for your response.

Mm.. I will concur, the top-down process is an all-at-once process, rather than the more linearly experienced ride. The experiencer comes in on it as That which does strikes the crown and synchronously the whole being, we could say all chakras at once. All lesser control is surrendered at once to the Greater. This said, a person does still get to choose what plays out in their knowing, in their conscious state of attention. One could, if they wished, choose for absolutely none of it to. And for it all to play out, as it were, behind the scenes. This, I feel, would be a grave loss, though, and the opportunity to step into pitfalls quite great. This opportunity exists on the aware end of the equation as well. For you enter new territory, galactic space, and are starting at ground zero in terms of your understanding of other species and races. False matrices can be created with fear and what you "think" you have come to know. Contact is not an effortless or easy part of the experience of a top-down awakener. In fact it is easy to be taken out of the game right here. Which is why, or one of the reasons why MOST Earth human consciousness will traverse the base to crown, linear process of gradually opening themselves to the awareness of all this -rather than hit the ground running with it at the very first, at the same time as the system is still being cleared. A certain skill set is required. I understand the concern that may naturally arise with regard to Kundalini, but know one's best bet once this Process has indeed begun, is to throw it with immediacy into the Fire. Trust in yourself and in your Inner being from day one and hold to this focus with all your might ( let nothing distract you from it ). It will take you further than any other possible choice.

I finally had time to listen to the video. I will be honest, I struggled and could only listen to just past the halfway mark. If you got something from Teal's relay this is good. We always receive what we need. But one could certainly have misunderstandings based on what she has and has not said. I come to what I have from a spiritual lineage, my disciplines began early, roughly at 12 years of age. I was never practicing to invoke the Kundalini, I was more simply seeking the self. This said, I had many disciplines. Atma vichara ( self enquiry ), meditation/Raja yoga ( the eight-fold path ), brahmacarya, savasana, tratak, pranayama, shravana, satsang and more. I came to a point of shifting from student to teacher in my late 30s, focusing my teaching into pranayama ( the breath ) and satsang. I was a decade into my years of teaching when I had my Awakening experience. It was my 44th year in this body.

I find it to be, minimally, a mincing of words to say the Kundalini is not dormant but rather being resisted, and maximally, in many respects, to be inaccurate when considering solely the personality we know ourselves as today, rather than our entire soul history. What is called 'Chi' ( life force energy ) and 'Kundalini' ( the Innate Intelligent-Energy of Nature Itself ) although of the same wellspring can, and are, I feel, understood more broadly when distinguished from one another. Anyone can experience a release of 'Chi', and the experience of this is quite exhilarating if not extraordinary, but it is not Kundalini. Chi can come through it bits and spurts, and be encouraged to, even, through disciplines. Kundalini is another matter altogether. Its mind is Its own. And I would never be able to accurately say it could be resisted by a personality in a body. It is like saying a drop of water can extinguish a forest fire. Were we to resist It would simply move us to dust. When this phenomenon activates, by whatever means ( certainly not our own ) there is no putting the genie back in the bottle. It tears through the mind-energy-body complex as IT would, literally reconstructing it.

There are various degrees of awareness of this process as it is occurring. Most choose to be consciously aware of only what is at a bare minimum necessary, patterning their attention to make it so. Others choose to more closely observe the process. The more one consciously observes, the more aware they are OF and through it. Not unlike going in for surgery without the anesthesia. You will be quite aware of the pain the body itself is experiencing. It is not something one meek at heart would ever choose. I did choose it. I could not stop myself from looking in on what was happening. This took me into a number of challenging experiences. Experiences, I would guess, 99.5% of people would not be capable of navigating in a conscious state. I cannot explain why I have been so determined to. Although I am someone who might always say 'the more data the better', and this could have something to do with it. All this said, I did reach a tolerance point at the 4 year mark of daily experience and investigation, both in and out of Earth space.

No-one is ever really 'ready' for something like Kundalini. A person can help make themself ready ( through spiritual disciplines ) to the degree they can, but what It is, is so unfathomable. And how can one rightly prepare for what there is no ability to fathom? I have regularly been in the mind blown state since 2009. When the Kundalini, for whatever reason WOKE me.

Not everyone survives this process. It is not something to take lightly.

It is a point at which there is no going back.

A do or die moment in time.

Welcome to the show, Frostytraveler!

Kundalini, just to say is WHOLE BODY and what you are experiencing, by your description is just this.

Yes, I, too, have journeyed through this process ( beginning in 2009 ). I understand it is not the usual "vibrations", sleep paralysis or shifting phenomena. Though all of this is included right there inside of it. It, itself is MORE. And it allows one to make fully conscious shifts into and out of Earth space ( into and out of the body ). What you have termed 'astral visions' are an aspect of this and you will learn how to use them to venture further. I am here if you ever wish to talk. I write and speak on the subject extensively. This was written long ago, but it accurately relays, at least in brief, my experience.

Activated to Awaken: A Kundalini Top Down Awakening

I had not noticed, no.. but I do not usually visit Steven's site, this said, I can confirm that at this moment I cannot get into it. Let us know when you watch the new film and what think of it!

Whoa!

I usually have such magical experiences when I go through doors in the floor.

That was really brave of you to put yourself onto that conveyor belt. I might have stopped right there. I have heard of ( real life ) stuff like this that goes on at the Dulce base in Northern New Mexico. I wonder if you got a glimpse into that. Can you describe the Grey's that you saw? Did they all look alike? Did you make any notes of any personal thoughts in your log after this experience? Did it ever happen again?

Oh I love Mooji, I haven't seen his name pop up in the longest time ( thank you! ).

Oh thank you, T-Man! I really appreciate that. Good news, too.

Would someone please do me a favor? Can you click on where it says "Collections" in the above post and let me know if it gives you access to the page without becoming a free member? Thank you thank you.

Listening as a practice, in jnana it is referred to as "shravana". It is more usually in reference to the student listening to the teacher in satsang but it generally spans into the deep listening into anything, everything. It is this practice that first taught me to go out of body via merging with sound. The gardener with the leaf blower outside, planes flying overhead, the near ridiculous cacophony coming from the multiple hundreds of black and other type birds that all nested on the phone wires going over my backyard ( in the years I was first beginning to go out ). Rather than try to cut myself off from the sounds I opened myself up to them—welcomed them in—let them spread through the entirety of my field until I was the sound—-until I was experiencing myself as fast sound vibration. And I would shift -delightfully into multiple fields.

The Many Different Types of Shifts
