I just joined Volgerle's forum.  Hope to see others there! 

Cool, the more the merrier. Be patient with the initial sign up process though, Like I said above, I am working on finding a way to speed it up. I just need to talk with Volgerle/ARENIS first.

Hi, Volgerie

I created an account yesterday, today it looks like it has been approved because it takes me to the login screen but once I do this the board is not reading me as logged in. I mean, wow, this is hard to say. If I go to login again it takes me to sign up and at the top of the screen it says "welcome omcasey" but the board index itself is not reading me. It does not show me at the bottom in the online users area nor can I post, I get the message to login or register. Can you help??

Casey, from what I see, you still need to be approved. I PMed Volgerle here at the Pulse and over at his Forum to see how I can help expedite the process. I know it will be an overload of work for him, since so many people are attempting to join all at the same time. You are not showing up there as a member as of right now. I think that when you first apply, it returns back to the log-in screen when you are done.

On the Ad banner question. I have never seen an Ad there at all. It could be just in the "welcome to the Forum" stage. I could be wrong, but like I said, I have never seen an Ad there myself, as of yet!

 After a great telephone conversation with Nameless and EV, I can say, we will see you over at your Forum Volgerle!   Any other members, new or old are more than welcome to join us there!  

 Does anyone else know of any Astral related Forums that we can all continue on? One that preferably has the owner of the Forum as an active contributor as well. Throughout the years, I have sent PMs to Adrian based on Astral related insight and NEVER received a single response from him, even when I was a Moderator here.
I have enjoyed the years I was a member here. I feel bad that all the great info, experiences shared and aid to others that were searching for answers, will be lost forever.
Thank you to all here for being a part of this tremendous community. Many a great friendship has begun here on this Forum. It will definitely be sorely missed! 

 Nameless, thankfully they don't charge like our Medical services here do in this physical reality. Otherwise, we would need some kind of "Insurance" there too, lol! 

 The phenomenon of being "worked on" by some mysterious source has been widely known amongst "Experiencers" and talked about many times throughout the years on this Forum. I too have had this occur many times throughout my life. I wrote about an experience of this nature just a few weeks ago in this thread here:
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_out_of_body_experiences/sleep_paralysis_or-t48350.0.html;msg378438#msg378438

The replies I received from other members here just goes to show how "familiar" this phenomenon really is. I guess we need a bit of "fine tuning" every once in a while!

 EV, you need to take those fantastic, well-articulated posts of yours above and copy and paste them into a new thread, that can be stickied. Your definitions and descriptions of the different modes of NPR explorations are pure GOLD! I had to settle with yellow, since there is no color gold for choices there! 

How well Lumaza quoted me "only direct experience can solve these questions" only by entering again and again, any number of possible times can says whats happening.
But for now step by step (in a natural way) in a staggered and healthy progress will be best, because this kind of experiences can be ecstatic as well as very difficult to process.

Hello Tak. Once again, I am really enjoying reading your posts. I said above that I would make a reply suited to your "quest for knowledge". Yet, what happens when I read someone's post is that I respond on what I sense that person "needs" to hear at the given time. My sense is telling me that I need to stay mute for now, since you are doing such a fantastic job of articulating this all yourself. I hope you are reading and re-reading your posts over and over again. They will surely answer any questions you might have.

Just to leave you with what I have learned about the NPRS from my own personal experiences and that is "I know nothing", lol.  Just when I think I have a clue what is going on there, it all changes. It seems to be a school (like this physical existence of ours here on Earth), where we seem to encounter all kinds of things for the first time and then have to learn how to react accordingly to whatever given situation reveals itself.

 To me, Phasing is the result of a deeper form of meditation. In the meditation techniques I have read on, they always say it is important to "clear your mind". In Phasing, at least for me. I utilize a "monkey mind" to my advantage (as seen in my Doorway technique). They both start out the same. Relaxation and "calming the mind". When visuals begin to appear, that is when I focus on them and only them and allow them to morph, which they do, into whatever form or scenario they wish to. I stay consciously focused on that and only that. At that point, my physical body is non-existent. It gets even deeper when "mental motion"/etheric motion is added into the mix! 

I got to that point through years of "mental conditioning". Things like closing my eyes and reaching out to a tree in my backyard that is about 100ft away or just simply closing my eyes and focusing on the yo-yo in my hands as it went up and down. I didn't need to pick the yo-yo up. With the NP, thought = action, so the yo-yo was already in my hand. One of my favorite things earlier in my practice was focusing on a spinning top in front of me. I got that idea from that excellent movie "Inception". Leonardo's character used it as a focal point/tool as well. Another of my go-to's earlier in this practice was closing my eyes and "shooting hoops". That was an odd one to me because I was never really into Basketball growing up. That action seemed to create some fantastic results. Things like that got my me used to "etheric body motions and movement". That all evolved into being and experiencing the NPRs as a simple point of consciousness with no limitations. That's when the real fun began! 

 Hello Jenn.

I work with Crystals and copper wire for a living. I make Crystal Amplifiers, which is my version of wire wrap tree sculptures and sell them at various Renaissance, craft and gift shows throughout the country here.

Personally, I would take a good 22 or 20 gauge copper wire, that you can buy in a craft store, and bond all of those together as one single piece. You said each one has a sentimental value to you. So, utilize all of them together as one powerful tool! All you would have to do is to coil them together. You could work on decorating it at a later time if you so wish to. Have fun with it. Close your eyes before you start and visualize what it would look like. Then have at it!   

[that only direct experience could solve]

 

I would like to know if that "place" that I visited several times, will be something that Frank calls "Focus 4" and Robert as "I There". But well, I have so many doubts that only direct experience could solve. I would like to know your opinion!

Wow, what a fantastic opening thread! Welcome to the Astral Pulse and thank you. Your post here is a breath of fresh air. Usually an opening post from a new member will come after they have just had their first conscious OBE or some kind of terrifying experience with Sleep Paralysis and now they want to understand what happened.

I want to reply on this entire post a bit later after I contemplate it a bit further. For now, though, I will say you already answered your question. "But well, I have so many doubts that only direct experience could solve".

I found this link.  I hope this is the correct one.  The two you posed were the exact same link.. So I went searching for that doorway technique..

http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness/the_doorway-t46013.0.html

This is a long post.  Fixing to read it in it's entirety..
Thank you so much!

Jenn

Yes, that is the one. It shows my personal evolution with NPR exploration. In the end it all came down to the ability to discern the different levels of brain frequency and the ability to utilize "mental motion". To be able to move forward, backwards, right or left into the darkness and actually feel that etheric sensation, is the most important thing I have learned to aid me in "navigating" the NPRs that I found myself in.

[Are you a programmer/coder?]

Are you a programmer/coder? You don't have to answer that if you don't want to. Your post leads me to believe you are. Its because of the KISS acronym.  Its the gold standard of programmers.

Also, I opened all my blinds to let the light in.  I'm hoping my falling sleep is due to being too darn comfortable and chilly in my house..  I'm going to use the new headphones vs the earbuds again and prop myself up in bed as close I can get to 37 degrees.  lol... I'm hoping this will trick me and my subconscious into staying awake..

I MUST find a cheap loungechair if this works.

I actually remember the name Lionheart from years ago.  There also used to be a huge following of avid phasers on this site but at the time I did not understand what was going on because I was not totally familiar with Monroe and phasing. I just read and moved on to continue trying to be a tree.
Jenn

Coder or Programmer. Heavens no, lol. I first started using the cellphone for the first time in February 2022 and that was the month my wife died. The cellphone was hers. Anyone that knows me can vouch for that too, lol!  

Just my thought. I would say the 37-degree angle would have to do with being "ergonomically correct". I have a completely ergonomically correct chair, known as the "Lafuma". It doesn't put any pressure on the spine at all. It feels like you are floating when you are in it.

I have never used Robert's tapes. I did buy a program from another guy though, but they were not Robert's or the Monroe tapes.

Yes, this Forum was much busier in the past. I guess it's a sign of the times. It's hard to stay focused on NPR exploration. The physical fights back and consumes all of your attention.

 Hi again Jenn.

My "Mindfold" was a good blindfold for my Phase sessions, but not so good for sleeping. It was too rigid and uncomfortable for sleeping. For many months I just grinned and bared it. My new mask, the one I posted a link to above, is great for both sleeping and Phasing. I don't sweat and it is very comfortable to use while sleeping on my side, which I almost always do.

To your "straw" experience. I had and do still have similar experiences. Years ago I wrote about one it using my old name here on the Astral Pulse, that being "Lionheart". (the link to that is below"). I compared it more to viewing through a "toilet paper roll" though.
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness/tunnel_vision-t44765.0.html

I don't want to confuse you because you are in the middle of of your new learning process with Hemi-Sync and Monroe Tapes. But I have a feeling you would be very good with my "Doorway" technique. I have honed it for years now while on the Pulse here. So, you will see all the changes I have made to it through the years. If anything, it is a good read as well. Lime all other techniques that you can use, you don't have to do it "by the book". Possibly there is something in it that you can utilize to create your own personal technique. It was created using the adage I have always lived my life by and that is "KISS". Which stands for Keep It Simple Stupid"!

 Hi Jenn. It sounds like you are doing great!  

I also use noise cancelling headphones. The ones I use are Bose. I bought them over 10 years ago. Music never sounded so good!  

I have read that you fall asleep a lot during this. My advise would be to find a comfortable chair, like a Lazy-boy. Something you could sit comfortably in for a period of time. The reason for this is, all your life you have trained yourself that bed is for sleeping. I personally find it much easier to practice in a my Lazy-boy chair. I usually do what I call "Phase soaks", which is Phasing while lying in the hot water in my bathtub. I am 6'2 and my bathtub is barely 5 ft long. But I get so deep, so quick, that I can't consciously feel the sensation of being crammed into the tub, once I begin my Phase session.

I also use a Blindfold, aka Sleep Mask, even when I sleep. Years ago I found one called the "Mindfold". It was a decent blindfold. But then I came across another one called the "Escape Luxury Sleep Mask". I am on my second one in about 10 years of use. The link to it is below this. I have handwashed it numerous times and still holds up well.
https://dreamessentials.com/blogs/news/introducing-the-new-escape-luxury-travel-sleep-mask?_pos=1&_sid=22fe35c76&_ss=r

I also sleep with the light on. It's a really bright "night light" though. I have size 13 feet and have broken my toes numerous times due to stubbings!   I sleep with my mask on though, so it is still pitch dark.

Well, I bought the gateway experience on Ebay. I'm starting tomorrow.  I'm open minded and am hoping to have a profound life changing experience but at the same time, I'm trying to keep my expections low and stifle myself a little.  I'm just going to start at the beginning and just work through them and whatever happens just happens.

I'm been reading reviews about them so I can't help being excited.  

Cheers, Jenn

Good Luck Jenn!  

You are going into this with the right mindset. Low expectations and ready to see what you can see. You do need an open mind though. That is the important part. Heeding the instructions will make "something" happen. What that something will be depends on what you need to experience or see at this point in your NPR (non-physical reality) evolution.

I'm very confident you know how to handle yourself Lu. I hope your next round is more tolerable.

About that smoke, I've read others in the affected areas say it's strange to them as well. I don't know what to make of it myself, it may be normal or maybe not, I don't know. I do have a thought that may or may not be pertinent. Just the smoke itself could be creating problems with particulate matter in the air causing disruptions to more than just 'air quality' as we normally think of it. This could be making it easier or harder for certain activities to take place (I'm sure you know what I mean by that). As long as the fires keep going things could get even stranger, especially for those sensitive to the other worldy nature of our existence. Keep us posted as things progress.

Also it seems things have been going well for you at the craft fairs. Here's to you that it keeps going well.

All I know is my throat has been scratchy for over a month now. I would leave my windows open at night, since our temps get down to about 50 degrees on some of these summer nights here. But I could still smell the smoke even in the house. For a while there, at nighttime, you could see it settling at lower altitudes. Almost at ground level. We have never had that happen in the 26 years I have lived here in Minnesota. It just doesn't feel "natural"! 

Thank You for your kind words Nameless! 

I handed her the note pad.

I would have loved to have seen her face when you handed her your pad! 

I have learned to really cherish those visits too!  Once in a while they turn into a question and answer period. Other times, I just enjoy her company and cherish the short time we had to spend together! 

Dang Lu, just when you think you have passed through one stage and moved on...
I think we would be remiss to assume SP has one cause only. I am concerned (not in a bad way necessarily) that you were restless and heard footsteps.

In my own experiences those to me are signs of a visitation. One thing you can do is think about the interval right before your SP took place. Note oddities and how you were feeling. Looking back and noting these things will help you prepare for the next round. A heads-up as it were so you can prepare your own responses and perhaps get some answers. Try to relax during SP and allow whatever 'work' is being done to happen, for me that tends to reduce the violence of vibrations and helps them smooth out.

Hugs

You are correct Nameless. I feel a "visitation" did occur. I was restless, heard creaking of the floor, then my "spider sense" kicked off. I use that term because MJ and I would be somewhere, on the road travelling and all of a sudden I would get a sensation of tingling telling me that something was not right or was about to happen. It happened so often that MJ and I joked about it being my "spider sense", ala Spider Man. The "entity" left the way it came in too, through my bedroom door.  I was definitely in "intruder alert" mode. But, in Bedeekin's SP thread, the intruder scenario is spoke of as well.

I would have relaxed into it, but it caught me off guard. I was shocked that none of my "go to's" were having any effect. That in itself created a bit of fear. I have had SP quite a few times. I have some weeks where it occurs 2 or 3 times that week and as Lightbeam said above, that will normally preclude an OBE, in the true sense of words. But this time, I was "locked in" to just the violent vibrations, no visuals at all., except for solid darkness. I think that would cause an alarm to most people, even people that did occasionally experience SP I began I normally would during a SP event. I just laid back and passively observed it all. But the vibrational intensity went into warp drive, and I noticed I was "stuck" in it.

[Not every single thing has to be done online these days!]

 Not every single thing has to be done online these days! Dolores knew the value of "person to person" contact. That's all she needed to say. No further explanation is needed! If something isn't broken, it doesn't need fixing! 

 Thanks for the speedy reply Lightbeam. I will pass on experiencing this again. I swear my "etheric body" is still in pain today, lol.  It actually felt like I was being bounced all over the bed. Where is a "webcam" when you need one, lol!

After last night's experience I was seriously and still am seriously considering finding a certified QHHT pro in my area to do a regression. I have a feeling there is a story to tell here. I know it didn't end where I thought it did. It continued, but on a level that I was not "consciously aware" of.  I do seem to have a lot more energy today though.

Do you have the link to Dolores's facebook page? I was kind of forced to get my own page to be able to find shows in my area. The show Promoters don't advertise on Google anymore. Nowadays, you find all that info in Groups that you have become a member of. Just another way I was forced to adapt.

 Years ago on this very Forum a valued member and friend of ours named Bedeekin wrote this fantastic thread here. In it, he explained everything a person needed to know about Sleep Paralysis. You can find that link at this thread here:
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_out_of_body_experiences/everything_you_could_ever_want_to_know_about_sleep_paralysis-t38734.0.html

What brought me to this Forum years ago under my former name "Lionheart" was a 3 night in a row Sleep Paralysis experience of my own. The first night I awoke in SP, I was frightened like many other people are when they awoke in SP. The next day, I dismissed it as a Dream and that was that. That is until the next night when I once again awoke in SP. This time it was more intense and yet once again, the next day I dismissed it as "just a Dream". The next night, I could not ignore because of after the intense experience with SP, I was left with physical signs of it. I awoke after the third night and my right eye was swollen shut and I had intense "inner vibrations" that are very difficult to explain. I was very concerned, so I made a appt with my family Doctor. By the time I finally had my appt, which was about 4 days later, my eye had healed up, so there was no evidence of the swollen eye at all. While the eye was swollen, there was a very noticeable rectangular indentation in the swelling. Neither Mary Jo, my wife, nor I thought of taking a picture of it. We weren't all that tech savvy back then. I have adapted to the times now and am a bit more knowledgeable of the tech stuff today. I had to adapt. I guess everyone does.

So, it was onto my Doctor's visit and soon a number of tests, both Neurological and Physical to find out the why I was feeling the inner vibrations. Everything came out negative. There was no logical reason why. My Doctor did say something that really caught my attention though. I don't know if he said it jokingly or seriously, but he said, "I think you may have undergone some kind of frequency change". He also said "you didn't hear that from me". I'm sure his peers would not have concluded that.

After that whole experience, I made a post on Web.Md about what had happened to me. Soon a few other people shared their stories, and one person gave me the link to the AstralPulse.com and here I am still today.

Bedeekin's thread was very thorough with the whys, whats and other physically based explanations of SP. But it didn't answer it all. Through the years I have heard, on Talk Radio Shows and Podcasts, people that called in to explain their own SP experiences. Usually it is fear based and has either Demons or Aliens attached to it. Many of the abduction cases we hear about today could in fact be bouts of SP. Just the same, many of the SP cases could also be actual abductions. You can think of it that way too. That's what they have done in much of the UFO community today. Supposedly, even the Gov't today and is taking a serious look at the phenomenon.

In my case, the vibrations simmered down after about 3 weeks. Through the years they have ramped up again. The only understanding I received from anyone was from a talk with the late Dolores Cannon on her personal Radio show. She told me "you can always ask them to calm them down when they get overpowering". I tried that and it worked!  

Through the years, I have attempted to learn everything I could about SP. But from my own personal ones. That is the only way I could personally understand what was happening. I learned that you could passively observe them and when you did it would "usually", but not always, lead to some kind of OBE. I have awoken in SP and passively observed as I was lifted by my ankles and spun through my ceiling, like some kind of spinning toy. I have awoken in full SP and been dragged by my ankles down my hallways and out my patio window. For some reason, for quite a while this was a reoccurring experience. One time while listening to the Coast to Coast AM Radio show there was Guest named Whitley Strieber on it. He was explaining one of his abductions and he talked about being lifted by his ankles and dragged out of his bed and out his window. When i heard this, I almost spit out my coffee. Until that time, I had never heard anyone talk about having that kind of experience. Since then, I have spoken to a few other people that have had that happen as well. Some of those people are members here on the Astral Pulse Forums too.

Now to the reason I am creating this thread here today. I always "just when I think I know what is happening, things change" and that is exactly what happened last night.

Before I get into what occurred I need to give a bit of run up to this time. I have been working on making my Crystal Amplifiers (wire wrap tree sculptures) for weeks now. I have been selling them at various Renaissance and Craft fairs around the USA. I would put a few hours into my work and them find myself physically exhausted. The air quality is Minnesota and Wisconsin (where i have done all my shows) has been horrible for months now. They are blaming it on the Canadian Wildfires, but I beg to differ. I have been working outside all day and then sleeping in my truck at the shows. So, there is no way to get away from it. The other day, I mowed my lawn and built a fence around some plants n my garden. After that, I was exhausted. I had to lay down and take a nap for awhile.

Yesterday, I did a bit of work outside and once again, was just exhausted. I then went for a soak in my bathtub and after that took a long nap. I went to bed at about 11PM. Lately I have been feeling really out of it.

I awoke sometime during the night and heard what sounded like footsteps creaking on the floor. I was having a really restless sleep. I wear foam earplugs when I sleep. I like quiet. I have really good hearing though. So once in a while I can still hear noises. My dog was also next to me on the bed. He sleeps in the spot that Mary Jo used to (Mary Jo passed way last year). My Dog didn't react to the noise, so I thought nothing of it. Just an old house creaking. Soon SP kicked in and I went into my passively observing mode. I was awaiting the OBE to commence. But none came. The vibrations were getting stronger and soon it felt like I was being violently rocked out of my skin. I attempted to utilize the "thoughts equals reality". When you awaken in SP, your thoughts become your reality instantly. That is why there are so many fear stories related to SP. People awaken in SP, can't move, then there first thought is "who is holding me down". That's usually when Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street or some other fearsome creature, demon appears.

So, I immediately began visualizing my "happy place". Mine being a tranquil tropical Island setting. But that didn't work this time either. I was still in the throes of the violent SP. I then said to myself, enough of this and I attempted to abort the SP. I tried to wiggle my toes, but once again failed. The vibrations were the strongest I had ever felt, and it felt like they were lasting for an eternity. Then I felt my back being supported. It felt like there was someone or something supporting my back. I could have been lying on some kind of table as well. The vibrations and feeling of something hard against my back kept going until it all abruptly stopped, and I saw at the foot of my bed Mary Jo standing there. I was completely conscious of that moment. I said to her that I had some questions for her. She said she knew and that she would be back in a moment. She then turned around and left the room and I was left in darkness. The experience ended then and there. I was left just consciously staring into the darkness before my closed eyes. I knew that when she had left the room, that the experience was over and that's exactly what happened.

Like I said above, for some reason I was actually stuck in the SP. That has never happened to me before. I have learned throughout the years had to control my SP. But last night for some reason, that wasn't allowed to happen. I also feel like the image of Mary Jo that I saw wasn't actually her. That that image was being utilized by someone as something I would not fear. I have never experienced such violent vibrations before. They were even stronger the earthquake ones I felt during a fully aware candle staring technique I used years ago. The difference there was those vibrations were outer. Last night's vibrations were "inner". Today I still feel them, but quite a bit calmer. I guess I am back to having these inner vibrations again. I wonder how long they will last for this time.  

 Methen, Take a look at all of the posts that you made here on Astral Pulse and see what "vibe" you get from them. Pretend you are reading another person's posts and see what kind of advise you would offer the person. I sense a lot of negativity. You need to learn to see the beauty in life.

Lightbeam was correct. You asked to be "challenged" before you incarnated here and it looks like you are being. So what are you going to do about it? That's where the lessons comes in. You need to learn to make "Lemonade" out of all of those lemons! 

I did the original visualisation method accidentally, I visualised something funny then I entered the vibration state at the same time. Then I laughed and I snapped out of it

Nice!   Now do it again and again and again. Practice daily and you will find you are duly rewarded for your effort!  

I wish Contenteo was still an active member here. His presence is dearly missed!
