Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Odd.. Last night I felt my cat rub against my left foot while I was trying to AP. She was locked out of the room, and ten minutes before she had been scratching at the door desperately trying to get in...

Hey thanks for the warm welcome

When your body's asleep there's a lack of sensory input that makes it easier to focus on the non-physical. It doesn't mean your body has to be asleep. I've experienced moving my astral and physical arms at the same time, and (more recently) I've scratched the back of my physical head while in a lucid dream.

Sil3nt:
I don't think I've ever consciously tried visualising myself moving - maybe that's what I'm doing subconsciously.

Astral Projection:
I'm not sure. I've never really encountered any difficulty in moving in the RTZ or the astral. Might be because you were nearer your body when in the RTZ? The further away from your body you are, the easier it is to do things, I know that...

Is it your first time or one of your first times? It's usually quite difficult to find out how to control yourself in the beginning.. but after a while you get the hang of it. I can barely keep myself still while I'm out, lol.
I have a few tips that might help. Rather than focus on moving one leg forward, then the other, switch to autopilot and just walk to the other side of the room without thinking about it. It is so much easier.

I wasn't very clear.. I meant at will... It would be really cool to be able to choose when to do that and which parallel 'you' to go into.
If 'God' (or whatever) is split up into millions of multidimensional beings... Then perhaps the multidimensional You is split up into millions of facets of You... Then its a question of whether the multidimensional You reincarnates or whether the facets reincarnate. If the former, each of the facets would have to wait for the last one to die.... Actually this is going nowhere. My head hurts too!

I've heard lots of people say that's what they think the presence is, but I can't quite understand it. Why should I have two presences - one feeling quite evil? I just usually pass it off as hypnagogia... (I have however had a number of encounters with 'evil spirits' that stemmed from the sense of that presence and I think that would be projecting my fears of that presence into the astral)

I'm out of ideas.

Very interesting topic... Do you think it would be possible to switch your awareness to another 'fragment' of you?

Sounds like a haunting to me, but if you don't want to wake up hearing voices coming from your computer you should unplug it and the speakers, not just turn them off. Most computers don't actually turn off when you shut them down, so there's still a little current flowing around the circuits. I don't know about your speakers, but unplugging them will certainly make it harder for your poltergeist to turn them on!
Try communicating with it.. See what it has to say. EVP?

Only you will be able to decide for sure. I wouldn't discount it on the basis of dim sight.. It's quite common to have partial sight or even complete blindness.
Don't know about hardly moving.. Do you mean your physical body was hardly moving or do you mean it was difficult to move in the RTZ?

This is what I usually go by:
If it looks like the RTZ, it probably is.

In my opinion priest will not solve this problem.
This is a very common problem with active speakers. Such kind of speakers contain built in simple amplifier, and when the computer is turned off and the speakers are still on, the speakers start acting like a radio receiver for some reason.

Happens with washing machines and old TV sets too, when they're unplugged, but only very quietly. It's hilarious listening to radio 4 on a washing machine (a very boring washing machine..). I think its something to do with the dish resonating in time with the radio frequency..
Perhaps the dog heard it and tried to attack it?

Maybe your cat can project too! Or maybe it channels other cat spirits - evil ones.. I'm just saying this because I've seen my cats do some odd things... Like projecting to my other house while I'm there and having an OBE.

There's often the sense of another presence in the room just as you are 'separating'.. If you don't ignore it, it can develop into a kind of nightmare-like attack (no harm comes, of course, it's just scary..). Once you get out of body you can't see it, so I don't think it's really there.

Hello.. I'm 17, and I've been projecting for about two and a half years, and I've had about 70 odd OBEs and projections. I've blessed outofbody.co.uk with many posts and hope to do so here too Actually I've come here in the hope I can learn a bit more. I've never read any of Monroe books so I guess I've missed out on a lot of stuff..
I'm not religious (I still regard myself as atheist) and I intend to remain religion-free. Religion is about belief. AP is about doing. So no belief is needed for AP, and mis-placed belief can be disastrous. At least in my opinion.

I'm 17, been projecting for about two and a half years. I think I've had about 70 projections (possibly more). I wrote them all down, but it's not too organised so it's a bit of a chore to count them all.
