This is a thread in which to post the OBEs you've verified for yourself, and also those that you know of that have been verified. It's time for us to focus more on the 'hows' and the 'evidences' of these things. In the words of Captain Picard of the Enterprise...

"Let's see what's out there."

. . .

I suggest this format: two asterisks (**) then experience in brief. For instance...

** In my first experience where I walked through the walls to the kitchen and found it still lighted inside the walls, an occurrence later verified through my reading. I then saw what my mom was doing in the kitchen and verified it to my satisfaction.

** I saw Louis OBE one time. We had a conversation. I wasn't fully aware and was dazed, but knowing Louis I knew he would be fully aware and clear. I decided before sleep to dress myself in an unusual fashion. Talking to Louis the next day I didn't bring it up at all. I waited for him to for my verification, for I knew he knew fully. He volunteered that we met and had a conversation OBE, and he told me the unusual apparel I was wearing. It verified more so the OBE itself, my ability, and Louis' immaculate OBE ability.

** Robert Monroe visited two friends of his, and confirmed their whereabouts, dress, and actions. It was a couple, the husband supposed to be in bed sick. In contrast to his expectations, Robert Monroe found the couple outside, on the way somewhere. He confirmed their unexpected whereabouts, their clothing, and the time of the occurrence, as well as the general lay of the land in the area around their home.

** Robert Monroe was very skeptical of a medium, which reportedly had two guides helping her, a deceased husband and an Indian if I remember right. Monroe was very skeptical, for their answers to his questions were very vague. He was ushered out-of-body to a séance of hers by two nonphysical beings fitting the descriptions of her guides. Not only did Monroe verify who was there and what they were wearing, including confirming people he hadn't seen before and clothing he'd never seen those he knew wear before. Robert Monroe confirmed things that were said there, AND the medium confirmed Monroe's visit, making direct reference to him WHILE HE WAS IN THE ROOM in the out-of-body state, apparently able to perceive his nonphysical presence. Monroe took it upon himself to sit in a chair, and one of the incoming visitors unknowingly went to sit where Monroe was invisibly sitting, and the medium announced this causing much laughter, all confirmed by Monroe on investigation with the medium later.

** Most amazing to me, Robert Monroe went to visit a friend on vacation, and found her in an unexpected location with two people he'd never seen before. He confirmed the people with the lady friend, their dress, and not only this. He chose to mark the occasion and pinched the lady, the lady letting out a shriek of pain. He not only later confirmed the location and the people that were her, who were I think her nieces, and their dress and hair color and such, BUT ALSO THE LADY SHOWED HIM A BRUISE, RIGHT WHERE HE PINCHED HER.

** Albert Taylor was very skeptical of OBE. He went to a metaphysccal class and the teacher explained paralysis and told him he was experiencing OBE. He challenged it, and she told him next time he experienced paralysis to come to her and see. He experienced it every night so told her he'd go that night. He did and verified the sleeping arrangements of her and her husband, which was unusual, what she was wearing, the make out of the house, etc., all of which was confirmed. She also stated she had a dream of him at the foot of her bed, which is where he was standing upon entering.

Ok guys and gals. It's day 5 of the experiment, and I'm intent to succeed. I had a partial separation the other day, peeling out of the physical body a bit, and last night I had some intense vibrations and such, and a sense of duality.

I'm sure you posted all the advice you can muster everywhere already, and I know I've read enough to have much tips. Nevertheless, I can use some motivation, i.e. support. Thus ANYTHING you can throw at me, even the kitchen sink (just joking) please do so. Help, help...

I found the great book by Richard Greene shared by a good friend of mine Willem.

http://members.aol.com/rgreene666/

http://members.aol.com/rgreene666/page/

It's great. I'm studying the Mysticweb techniques also. It's great. My first goal is to make it outside to the other side of the door, then to some mountains near here. PZ will be next.

Throw something!

Cezyl

P.S.
If anyone would like to participate also please let me know. We can compile notes, NOT SHARING THEM WITH EACH OTHER, and after a sufficient amount of data is independently acquired we can compare. Would make for some good fun and corroboration and confirmation. Harkens to the astral research team idea of Greene, Willem.

Tu chez!

Introduction

This article is both in response to the wealth of negative or skeptical information and presentation abounding and in support of those true seeker here progressing. It is amazing to find, as I read metaphysical material, that this bend of focus is not new at all. Not only is it old, but also the same arguments are put forth over and over again. Reading the great book The Facts of Psychic Science and Philosophy by A. Campbell Holms I see that he dedicates several pages of the book to skeptics and their rants, and state two of their most favored arguments against psychic phenomenon: deceit or misperception. These are the same two arguments presented to me, that the 'would be' experiencers are lying, or that the 'would be' experiencer is thinking they are seeing or doing something but are not, be it do to hallucination or some kind of flaw in perception. Back to the 19th and 20th centuries this has been going on, this throe of skeptic people butting their heads in psychic researchers' and experimenters' affairs, spouting negativity and put-downs. It is so amazing. This is not new.
It brings to mind the writings of both David Icke and Stuart Wilde. Both point out malevolent forces that are attempting to offset our growth in one way or another. Are these skeptics, knowingly or unknowingly, being influenced by or working in concert with these malevolent forces? Is there a definite attempt so slow our growth and progression down? Why put so much effort into throwing skepticism into someone's boat? Why, on a forum or newsgroup dedicated to out-of-body travel, are there people who don't believe that out-of-body travel is real who are throwing that opinion onto the people there? Really think about that? What do they hope to accomplish, to gain? What really? Why not let us be and mind his or her business? Or, if they are deep down inside wondering if (or even scared that) it is real, why not honestly voice that opinion? Most likely as Sanaya Roman and Orin suggest, it is a cry for love, an expression of pain and fear. Love them.
We have never (overtly) asked for skeptics to come, and several times I've seen people strongly ask the skeptic to leave. Why do they stay in an environment not suited to them and not wanting them? What is there for them to gain? Something must be a motivator there. If it's to 'enlighten' those who 'believe' in such stuff, at the point in which the 'unenlightened' voice they are not interested in what the skeptic has to say, the skeptic, if the true intent was to enlighten, I presume would leave. So why remain? Love them. It can only be a cry for love, according to the works of Roman and others. It's like a child that constantly interrupts you once you get on the telephone or are watching TV. They feel ignored, or perhaps you are giving the TV more attention than them. Their lack of strength in self-love causes them to need to feel that all your attention is going to them to feel loved. Or they need to feel that you are taking away from other things you need to do in order to give love and attention to them in order for them to feel loved. Do not the skeptic seem to want to start big arguments and such, or cause big debates? Do not they persistently point at the phenomenon you are experiencing or researching trying to poke holes in it?
I see several points in skepticism that I shall touch upon now, that are proposed by the skeptic of phenomenon they are perhaps afraid to admit or accept, or unknowledgeable or 'too knowledgeable' enough to accept or admit as possible, for instance:

Extraterrestrial Life

It is amazing the repetition of things. Reading X3, Healing, Entities, and Aliens by Adrian Dvir I see that he has run into several of the same refutation by skeptics as far as ET civilizations go, such as supposed 'distance barriers' like the speed of light and supposed insurmountable light-year distances. The idea or prospect that the distance to other stars systems and galaxies are too far for any extraterrestrial civilization to make it to us is a PERCEPTION based upon OUR range of travel and OUR range of knowledge and understanding. And how could it be anything else? In other words, to a race of beings whose furthest overt manned venture has been to the moon, of course traveling several light years away would seem a massive undertaking. We can't get to the outer planets of THIS solar system, or at least, such technology is not being publicly announced. Who knows what the governments have in their backyards (or underground bases).
Consider this. Hundreds of years ago going just to cross the continent was a massive venture. Here in the USA people took weeks or months to traverse from one coast to the other, needing caravans of horse pulled buggies and so forth. To such a person, it must have seemed impossible to think that someone could traverse the same distance in HOURS, not to mention by traveling THROUGH THE AIR in a metal capsule with fire shooting out towards its back. But today we CAN traverse across the continent in hours with airplanes. So back then traveling from point A to point B seemed very intimidating, whereas the same distance is but a plane ride and bag of peanuts away now. NOW. Another example. Back in New Orleans (I've recently moved to Kentucky) my workmates looked aghast at how I would ride my bicycle to work and back home. "All that distance? That far??? You want to put your bike in my trunk??" It seemed they were about to faint just at the thought. But to me that distance is a piece of cake. It's all perspective. To someone who hasn't been on a bicycle in years, or who is used to driving everywhere, according to his or her PERSPECTIVE the distance of 5 miles on a bicycle could seem limitless. But to someone used to bicycle riding, even comfortable with riding 30 miles in one sitting, a 5 mile distance could be a piece of cake. For a baby to crawl to the corner is a giant leap, but a grown man can walk down the block with ease. Do you get my point? It's all perspective. It's all perception.
To this present race, in our present development, intergalactic travel may SEEM impossible. But to a race of beings hundreds or even THOUSANDS of years ahead of us in development, such distances can be to them analogous to the distance of a plane ride compared to the horse pulled buggies of old on this planet. Not to mention the fact that such beings could have the ability to transcend time-space and travel in hyperspace or in the form of hyper-physical matter, and then tune back down at their destination. In reference to the horse and buggy and plane analogy of earth, such beings could be thinking, "Remember when we on our planet used those big fuel propelled rocket type things trying to travel space." I have personally perceived the interdimensional manifestation of a UFO. Thus I am confident through first hand observation that at least some beings have the ability to take their craft and their bodies through dimensions. I have perceived craft move from one horizon to the other in seconds. SECONDS. And would there even BE a speed limit to a craft taken out of the physical dimension? Is there REALLY a speed limit in the physical dimension? It has been found that subatomic particles can resonate with no time lag, thus some kind of interdimensionally interfaced form of travel could potentially surpass any 21st CENTURY EARTH HUMAN **PERCEIVED** time and distance so-perceived 'limits' of physical matter and distance/light-speed 'barriers', and even those are only perceptions due to our level of development at the time. Wasn't and isn't the speed of sound called the sound 'barrier'? Read The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot to learn more of the non-locality of the finer things, for I am no master of the subject, though I know enough to put pieces of the puzzle together. We'll touch more on this later.

Out-of-Body Travel

The same 'hallucination or lie' theory is put forth for the out-of-body experience. Also is detailed questioning, such as, if while out-of-body you are nonphysical and thus can't see physical light, what are you seeing. ALSO is the admonition that there is no evidence for the reality of the out-of-body experience (OBE). First off, there is confirmation of objectivity. Secondly, not knowing how something works doesn't negate its workings. And as for their being no evidence of the reality of OBE and different dimensions and such, that's simply untrue. There is much empirical evidence for the reality of the out-of-body experience, EMPIRICAL evidence, which is more than what evidence on which we accept perhaps the majority of things in our lives. The skeptics seem to be ignoring this, or not wanting YOU to know this.
Firstly, a great example of empirical evidence for the OBE is the works of Robert Monroe, in particular his first book Journeys Out of the Body. In that book he has several confirmed experiences of a high nature, which I shall briefly outline.
Robert Monroe visited two friends of his, and confirmed their whereabouts, dress, and actions. It was a couple, the husband supposed to be in bed sick. In contrast to his expectations, Robert Monroe found the couple outside, on the way somewhere. He confirmed their unexpected whereabouts, their clothing, and the time of the occurrence, as well as the general lay of the land in the area around their home.
Robert Monroe was very skeptical of a medium, which reportedly had two guides helping her, a deceased husband and an Indian if I remember right. Monroe was very skeptical, for their answers to his questions were very vague. He was ushered out-of-body to a séance of hers by two nonphysical beings fitting the descriptions of her guides. Not only did Monroe verify who was there and what they were wearing, including confirming people he hadn't seen before and clothing he'd never seen those he knew wear before. Robert Monroe confirmed things that were said there, AND the medium confirmed Monroe's visit, making direct reference to him WHILE HE WAS IN THE ROOM in the out-of-body state, apparently able to perceive his nonphysical presence. Monroe took it upon himself to sit in a chair, and one of the incoming visitors unknowingly went to sit where Monroe was invisibly sitting, and the medium announced this causing much laughter, all confirmed by Monroe on investigation with the medium later.
Most amazing to me, Robert Monroe went to visit a friend on vacation, and found her in an unexpected location with two people he'd never seen before. He confirmed the people with the lady friend, their dress, and not only this. He chose to mark the occasion and pinched the lady, the lady letting out a shriek of pain. He not only later confirmed the location and the people that were her, who were I think her nieces, and their dress and hair color and such, BUT ALSO THE LADY SHOWED HIM A BRUISE, RIGHT WHERE HE PINCHED HER.
The above is more evidence than has been presented for many things we accept as being true and factual. For instance, how do you know that South America exists, or that the pyramids exist? Think about it, or other things that you 'know' from second or third hand sources, but that you don't really 'know' in the strict way many skeptics profess is the only 'knowing'. Why don't the skeptics present such stark skepticism to things like that? Perhaps locations are not the best example, but I'm sure you can find other examples of what I mean. How do you know that planet Pluto exists for instance? We accept so many things on far, far less evidence than the above.
As far as detailed questioning, it is not necessary to know every detail of the workings of something for it to work, or to be able to work it. How many of us know how our cars work, or how airplanes work? What causes the proper translation of the radio signal into the words and music we hear from our radio? How do microchips work? How does the operation system of your computer work? If I gave you all the parts for a car, could you put it together? I don't know of a skeptic who refuses to use an airplane, and who refuses to believe in the reality of airplanes, because they don't know every working of airplanes. Sure airplanes are visible in the air, and so are OBEs prominently occurring around the world, as they have been since time immemorial.
I've taught people to get out of their bodies by sharing simple techniques with them. One person I told him to simply focus on his heart as he went to sleep. They guy was new to the subject, did no to very little reading on the subject, but got out in a few weeks. There is a person in a foreign country who hasn't read a single book on OBE, but who applied some techniques I taught him and got out in a few weeks. He may not know the full workings and background of OBE, or have a firm theory behind it, but dammit he's doing it! So much we take for granted with so little detail of their working.
I may not know what happens to the air at the destination that one teleports to, or what happens to the space at the origin from whence one teleported from. I may not know how OBE perception works, or the specific mechanics of how I healed myself of asthma by will for example. I may not be able to explain how that UFO materialized out of 'nothing', but I saw it, and I have the missing time to prove it. This may not hold up in court for instance, but I know what I saw, I saw what I saw, and I know what time it was when I reached the destination and when I got home. An hour and a half of my life is 'inexplicably' missing. Even Robert Monroe may not have been able to explain the details of many of the things asked of the OBE by skeptics, yet his experiences stand as they do. They are what they are. My computer is typing and getting this out to you, though how the processing system works is unfathomable to me.

This is not open to debate, and we don't know it all

This is not open to debate. Any call for debate or email about this will simply be sidestepped or deleted. This is my present and henceforth stance on skepticism. I am writing this for those of us who are courageous enough to embrace that there just may be something greater than our knowledge, wisdom, and understanding can presently bring to bear. It is amazing the audacity and ego of skepticism. For instance, to say that the distance from here to the next galaxy is too far for an extraterrestrial civilization to travel is arrogance. To make such a statement assumes that the full range and properties of matter, time, space, speed, etc., is known. Think about it. How can any of us make a definite statement about what is too far to travel in the universe? Do we really know that much about time and space? Only centuries or less ago we were saying that the earth is flat and the sun revolves around the earth! Already now we have full knowledge and understanding of what is possible in this vast universe? Objects have been FILMED doing maneuvers that surpass our knowledge of physics and aerodynamics. I have seen such maneuvers first hand. Look and you can see too.
Skeptics assume they know it all, or in their pain or fear they must present such a face, or by whatever motivation they want to instill fear and doubt in others. It may be scary to not have the belief of knowing it all, to face the unknown fully, or to face something or some being greater in ability and knowledge than us. I understand. Yet it is a big step in growth to say that, there may be something in existence beyond my knowledge. There may be more than what I know. This planet just may not yet wield complete knowledge of the properties of space, time, and matter. There just may be a civilization in existence with knowledge of space and time that is beyond our own. I ascertain that, both individually and collectively, more exists than the whole of both our knowledge and understanding. Broader exists than the whole of our perspectives. Deeper exists than the whole of our wisdom. To say that interstellar travel is impossible is to assume to know all there is to know about interstellar travel or its possibility. I have seen no indication of such knowledge in any skeptic, and I can THINK OUTSIDE OF SUCH SMALL PARAMETERS AND POSSIBILITIES, as evidenced by the above. Remember the horse and buggy to plane analogy. The horse and buggy is only centuries behind us. What may be possible for a civilization a thousands years ahead of us???

Keep going!!

Again, this is not open to debate. I am finding that debate is futile, for our great intellects can intellectualize for or against anything ad infinitum. Why waste energy arguing and debating with skeptics. Henceforth I just ignore them or sidestep them and their comments, and use their skepticism as food to have more drive and determination to succeed in my growth and development.
This article is for the true seekers on this planet, who are seeking to understand and expand. Keep going. Don't stop. The skeptic in his or her persistent and cold negativity and frivolous questioning does present a potent request of attention. Yet from this moment forth there is no more need to spend time on frivolities with skeptics. From now on spend your time and energy developing, evolving. If skepticism assails you I suggest that you keep this article close by and read it to empower you. Then read and continue to read the works of those who are in the paint. Look into the works of Robert Monroe, Stuart Wilde, Mary Summer Rain, Samael Aun Weor, David Icke, Bob Frissell, Carlos Castaneda, Adrian Dvir, Riley Martin, Joseph McMoneagle, Paul Dong, Waldo Vieira, Jane Roberts, and others. The list goes on. Focus on how people ARE going out-of-body, teleporting, shifting dimensions, psychically functioning, shape shifting, seeing, filming, and even riding in alien craft, interacting with extraterrestrials, psychically healing self and others, and so many other things that there is much evidence for, and THAT ARE HAPPENING, THAT WE CAN DO, though the consensus of earth may not be ready to bear it yet.
We are the trailblazers. We are open to accepting that perhaps we DON'T have all the answers. Perhaps we never will. But how can we ever get to the answers while assuming that we already know them all? This in one way explains the closed-mindedness of skepticism. Skepticism has its place, or it wouldn't exist. But what place do we append to it. One I suggest is that analogous to a carrot dangling before a horse. Let not their skepticism slow you don't, or cause you to expend needless energy on pondering the frivolous. Instead let it strengthen you. Run harder. Let it propel you. Look at their skepticism from the outside, not internalizing it at all. And then let their skepticism cause you to look even more closely at the experiences and works of those in the DO, such as Robert Monroe, and Louis Ruiz. Then run even faster and stronger than ever before. Their skepticism is such fuel to me now.
Study the works of those in the DO. Robert Monroe's works, in particular his first book Journeys, is great for examples of empirical and confirmed out-of-body experiences. And there are several works out there with confirmed experiences. Look at Soul Traveler by Albert Taylor, who has had several OBEs with confirmation of people, places, things, and locations. I have had confirming OBEs. Bruce Moen has had many confirming OBEs. And then seek to experience and explore for yourself. SEEK TO CONFIRM FOR YOURSELF THESE THINGS. SEEK TO DEVELOP IN YOU THE ABILITY TO GO OUT-OF-BODY, TELEPORT, SELF-HEAL, BE TELEKINETIC, ETC. WE CAN DO IT. What you focus on you manifest. Focus on the best. Focus on the possibilities. And then fly free and manifest the infinite. When all of us can for instance get out of body and fly around and individually and collectively confirm OBE at will, what a world it will be. Focus on THAT. We can start that process now. Go forth and be. Go forth and fly free.

Monroe was very skeptical, for their answers to his questions were very vague. He was ushered out-of-body to a séance of hers by two nonphysical beings fitting the descriptions of her guides. Not only did Monroe verify who was there and what they were wearing, including confirming people he hadn't seen before and clothing he'd never seen those he knew wear before. Robert Monroe confirmed things that were said there, AND the medium confirmed Monroe's visit, making direct reference to him WHILE HE WAS IN THE ROOM in the out-of-body state, apparently able to perceive his nonphysical presence. Monroe took it upon himself to sit in a chair, and one of the incoming visitors unknowingly went to sit where Monroe was invisibly sitting, and the medium announced this causing much laughter, all confirmed by Monroe on investigation with the medium later.
Most amazing to me, Robert Monroe went to visit a friend on vacation, and found her in an unexpected location with two people he'd never seen before. He confirmed the people with the lady friend, their dress, and not only this. He chose to mark the occasion and pinched the lady, the lady letting out a shriek of pain. He not only later confirmed the location and the people that were her, who were I think her nieces, and their dress and hair color and such, BUT ALSO THE LADY SHOWED HIM A BRUISE, RIGHT WHERE HE PINCHED HER.
The above is more evidence than has been presented for many things we accept as being true and factual. For instance, how do you know that South America exists, or that the pyramids exist? Think about it, or other things that you 'know' from second or third hand sources, but that you don't really 'know' in the strict way many skeptics profess is the only 'knowing'. Why don't the skeptics present such stark skepticism to things like that? Perhaps locations are not the best example, but I'm sure you can find other examples of what I mean. How do you know that planet Pluto exists for instance? We accept so many things on far, far less evidence than the above.
As far as detailed questioning, it is not necessary to know every detail of the workings of something for it to work, or to be able to work it. How many of us know how our cars work, or how airplanes work? What causes the proper translation of the radio signal into the words and music we hear from our radio? How do microchips work? How does the operation system of your computer work? If I gave you all the parts for a car, could you put it together? I don't know of a skeptic who refuses to use an airplane, and who refuses to believe in the reality of airplanes, because they don't know every working of airplanes. Sure airplanes are visible in the air, and so are OBEs prominently occurring around the world, as they have been since time immemorial.
I've taught people to get out of their bodies by sharing simple techniques with them. One person I told him to simply focus on his heart as he went to sleep. They guy was new to the subject, did no to very little reading on the subject, but got out in a few weeks. There is a person in a foreign country who hasn't read a single book on OBE, but who applied some techniques I taught him and got out in a few weeks. He may not know the full workings and background of OBE, or have a firm theory behind it, but dammit he's doing it! So much we take for granted with so little detail of their working.
I may not know what happens to the air at the destination that one teleports to, or what happens to the space at the origin from whence one teleported from. I may not know how OBE perception works, or the specific mechanics of how I healed myself of asthma by will for example. I may not be able to explain how that UFO materialized out of 'nothing', but I saw it, and I have the missing time to prove it. This may not hold up in court for instance, but I know what I saw, I saw what I saw, and I know what time it was when I reached the destination and when I got home. An hour and a half of my life is 'inexplicably' missing. Even Robert Monroe may not have been able to explain the details of many of the things asked of the OBE by skeptics, yet his experiences stand as they do. They are what they are. My computer is typing and getting this out to you, though how the processing system works is unfathomable to me.

This is not open to debate, and we don't know it all

This is not open to debate. Any call for debate or email about this will simply be sidestepped or deleted. This is my present and henceforth stance on skepticism. I am writing this for those of us who are courageous enough to embrace that there just may be something greater than our knowledge, wisdom, and understanding can presently bring to bear. It is amazing the audacity and ego of skepticism. For instance, to say that the distance from here to the next galaxy is too far for an extraterrestrial civilization to travel is arrogance. To make such a statement assumes that the full range and properties of matter, time, space, speed, etc., is known. Think about it. How can any of us make a definite statement about what is too far to travel in the universe? Do we really know that much about time and space? Only centuries or less ago we were saying that the earth is flat and the sun revolves around the earth! Already now we have full knowledge and understanding of what is possible in this vast universe? Objects have been FILMED doing maneuvers that surpass our knowledge of physics and aerodynamics. I have seen such maneuvers first hand. Look and you can see too.
Skeptics assume they know it all, or in their pain or fear they must present such a face, or by whatever motivation they want to instill fear and doubt in others. It may be scary to not have the belief of knowing it all, to face the unknown fully, or to face something or some being greater in ability and knowledge than us. I understand. Yet it is a big step in growth to say that, there may be something in existence beyond my knowledge. There may be more than what I know. This planet just may not yet wield complete knowledge of the properties of space, time, and matter. There just may be a civilization in existence with knowledge of space and time that is beyond our own. I ascertain that, both individually and collectively, more exists than the whole of both our knowledge and understanding. Broader exists than the whole of our perspectives. Deeper exists than the whole of our wisdom. To say that interstellar travel is impossible is to assume to know all there is to know about interstellar travel or its possibility. I have seen no indication of such knowledge in any skeptic, and I can THINK OUTSIDE OF SUCH SMALL PARAMETERS AND POSSIBILITIES, as evidenced by the above. Remember the horse and buggy to plane analogy. The horse and buggy is only centuries behind us. What may be possible for a civilization a thousands years ahead of us???

Keep going!!

Again, this is not open to debate. I am finding that debate is futile, for our great intellects can intellectualize for or against anything ad infinitum. Why waste energy arguing and debating with skeptics. Henceforth I just ignore them or sidestep them and their comments, and use their skepticism as food to have more drive and determination to succeed in my growth and development.
This article is for the true seekers on this planet, who are seeking to understand and expand. Keep going. Don't stop. The skeptic in his or her persistent and cold negativity and frivolous questioning does present a potent request of attention. Yet from this moment forth there is no more need to spend time on frivolities with skeptics. From now on spend your time and energy developing, evolving. If skepticism assails you I suggest that you keep this article close by and read it to empower you. Then read and continue to read the works of those who are in the paint. Look into the works of Robert Monroe, Stuart Wilde, Mary Summer Rain, Samael Aun Weor, David Icke, Bob Frissell, Carlos Castaneda, Adrian Dvir, Riley Martin, Joseph McMoneagle, Paul Dong, Waldo Vieira, Jane Roberts, and others. The list goes on. Focus on how people ARE going out-of-body, teleporting, shifting dimensions, psychically functioning, shape shifting, seeing, filming, and even riding in alien craft, interacting with extraterrestrials, psychically healing self and others, and so many other things that there is much evidence for, and THAT ARE HAPPENING, THAT WE CAN DO, though the consensus of earth may not be ready to bear it yet.
We are the trailblazers. We are open to accepting that perhaps we DON'T have all the answers. Perhaps we never will. But how can we ever get to the answers while assuming that we already know them all? This in one way explains the closed-mindedness of skepticism. Skepticism has its place, or it wouldn't exist. But what place do we append to it. One I suggest is that analogous to a carrot dangling before a horse. Let not their skepticism slow you don't, or cause you to expend needless energy on pondering the frivolous. Instead let it strengthen you. Run harder. Let it propel you. Look at their skepticism from the outside, not internalizing it at all. And then let their skepticism cause you to look even more closely at the experiences and works of those in the DO, such as Robert Monroe, and Louis Ruiz. Then run even faster and stronger than ever before. Their skepticism is such fuel to me now.
Study the works of those in the DO. Robert Monroe's works, in particular his first book Journeys, is great for examples of empirical and confirmed out-of-body experiences. And there are several works out there with confirmed experiences. Look at Soul Traveler by Albert Taylor, who has had several OBEs with confirmation of people, places, things, and locations. I have had confirming OBEs. Bruce Moen has had many confirming OBEs. And then seek to experience and explore for yourself. SEEK TO CONFIRM FOR YOURSELF THESE THINGS. SEEK TO DEVELOP IN YOU THE ABILITY TO GO OUT-OF-BODY, TELEPORT, SELF-HEAL, BE TELEKINETIC, ETC. WE CAN DO IT. What you focus on you manifest. Focus on the best. Focus on the possibilities. And then fly free and manifest the infinite. When all of us can for instance get out of body and fly around and individually and collectively confirm OBE at will, what a world it will be. Focus on THAT. We can start that process now. Go forth and be. Go forth and fly free.

Yo. My AIM crashed. Didn't close on you. Catch you later if you may...

Cezyl

Looking for ideas on things to do OBE. I have some good ideas/questions to answer already:

Do beings above the astral level have emotions?

Can you see yourself in a mirror?

What else would you like to do, or like to see done, or have a question or curiosity about?

Cezyl

Hey all. I KNEW I found the essence, and I am being confirmed. I've had 2 out-of-the-body experiences in last 4 days, after three weeks of practice of my Travel Far and Tutorial Methods. The first of these two being Thursday, where I got out by whirlwind through dream intent. The second was today about an hour ago. I relaxed into sleep and moved out in deep theta. I call this Transition State Phenomenon Focus in the Tutorial. Here they are:

http://www.cezyl.com/OBEs/dream_to_whirlwind_projection.htm

http://www.cezyl.com/OBEs/relax_sleep_dream-deeptheta_move.htm

Now I just have to work out:

A.   The intricacies of movement when getting directly out of body in full awareness.
B.   Staying out longer, especially after willing myself through dream intent to be somewhere else.

I'm not exactly sure what it was that sucked me back in when I was standing in that room, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with just I have to practice more. And my vision was so clear that I wondered if it was a physical place. I've never missed before, so I must assume that it was. I don't know where Louis is staying now. I'll have to go back and explore more, intend for him and see what happens, and staying out longer and explore. I'm sure he'll be happy to see me.

I am used to this heaviness of movement at getting out, and before I've just popped up with no qualms at all. At those times I was already deeply out though, and would become aware of it. Again, the answer seems to be simply to practice, to continue to practice so I can progressively move easier.

Tu chez!

Forward to Travel Far 1.0

This is a book sharing my experiences and findings about the out-of-body experience. I am Cezyl, or Darryl E. Berry Jr., and I am an independent researcher into existence.
The out-of-body experience is one way in which we can learn about literally anything in existence, any idea, thought, or knowledge. The most significant of your guidance is inside you, and it seems that guidance has led you to this book and beyond in your development. Thus many things can be tools along your way. You can glance the bibliography at the back of this book for leads.
Study, learn, experiment, and explore. Know that all the truths of existence are yours by right, and are thus immediately and directly within your grasp, if you allow them to be. There is no need for intermediaries, not in the form of individuals, nor in the form of organizations. This book and my path (the Cezyln path, 'Cezyln' meaning Cezyl's or of/by Cezyl) can help you develop tools and shares information to help you in the development of your path. I encourage individualism and self-knowledge. Ultimately the path is individual and unique. The fourth-density reality is beyond secrecy and separation, beyond obligation and conditions, beyond complication and imposition. Remember this.
All knowledge in existence is available to each individual directly. And this is what will liberate the earth, for the follies of man and the ignorance and control of the populace are made possible because mankind has cut itself off from the source, and instead focuses on intermediaries in the form of individuals and/or organizations. Neither are needed, and it seems that the more profuse the organization the more limiting and circular the message. By 'circular' I mean that the direction of these things are only to the leader-release-savior/god, to the organization's dogmas, or to the faction/sect's 'isms'. Instead of this the direction can be to the source, to the infinite, or to the tools that can allow you to directly access the infinite. Thus everyone can be free on their own right, with no need for intermediaries to guide them, no need to prostrate to any man or organization. And then we are free.

Buddha spoke simple truths. He had no desire to be turned into some saviour-god or to be worshipped by followers who complicated his simple philosophy with additions, ceremonies and hierarchies. All he stood for - and all we ever really need - are spiritual knowledge, not endless 'isms' to complicate them- David Icke, The Robot's Rebellion


The Techniques Section to Travel Far
The Cezyln Way of Looking at Development
1)   Never let those less proficient catch you

I don't mean this in the sense of competition, but in the sense of playful motivation. Those that are less proficient than you, never let them catch you! Why? Because it works hand in hand with number two:

2)   Be sure to catch up with those more proficient than you

Those that are more proficient than you, be sure to catch them! Be sure to catch up with them in skill level and proficiency. This works hand in hand with number three:

3)   Be sure to help everyone, including those more proficient, less proficient, and equal in proficiency, as best you can

Now we have one person who is more proficient, who is practicing and developing his/her hardest so that no one can catch them. A playful race. Then we have someone who is less proficient, trying to catch the person that is more proficient. A steady motivation. Yet we have both people helping the other as best as possible.
Even though the less proficient player is trying to catch the more proficient player, the less proficient player helps the more proficient player as best as he/she can. What does this do? It gives the less proficient player more love and goodness in his/her life, as well as even more motivation, like the proverbial horse with the carrot dangling from a stick, egging it on. It keeps going further. Then we have the more proficient player, who though has the goal of never getting caught, helps the less proficient player as best as he/she can. This generates more love and goodness in his/her life, as well as providing even more playful motivation. Then everyone evolves, and everyone grows, and this planet, and thus the universe, moves that much faster to the next level and beyond.
I hope for you to see that there is no limit to the levels of development that may be reached, and it does no good to try to hinder anyone. All we do is help ourselves by helping others, for we open a door for ourselves. It's like opening the door before you walk though its threshold. Push those ahead of you on, and let them open the door. Pull those behind you up, and help them get through the door. There is always something both can teach the other, as well as those of equal standing can teach the lateral. There is always growth. Grow, grow, grow...

Then there is the lagniappe (extra) number four:

4)   There will always be someone more proficient than you, less proficient than you, and as proficient as you

So there. J

-   Intend to succeed
-   Give yourself permission

Exercises Part One

4-2 Meditation- Sit down comfortably, and inhale to the count of four, and then hold to the count of two, and then exhale to the count of four, and then hold to the count of 2, repeat. The more you do this meditation, the deeper you get with it each time. It's progressive. Each time you get deeper. Just let it flow. The meditation itself will teach you what to do. Amongst other times it is good to practice this at night before sleep/projection practice.

Relax into sleep with awareness- Relax as you go to sleep, and intend to remain aware as you go to sleep, seeing what happens as you go to sleep. Observe and note everything that happens as you go to sleep, and relax very deeply. Move as needed to remain comfortable. Log the details of the sleep process.

Energy working- Do daily energy working exercises. You can find the NEW system of Robert Bruce on www.astralpulse.com for tips and techniques on energy working.

Anytime relaxation- At any time apart from sleep spend time relaxing as completely as possible, seeking out and releasing every bit of tension in the self, physical, mental, spiritual, etc. Develop the ability to relax completely at will.

Supportive Beliefs-
1 OBE is natural and easy.
2 OBE is simply consciously getting into a deep enough state of sleep.
3 Know that you can OBE, consciously and easily, no ifs, ands, or buts about it... you can. Don't believe you can do it, know you can do it, and know that every one else leaves their body too! You have the natural ability to project, an ability that is there whenever you need it, if you allow yourself have it!!!
4 Be enthusiastic about projection. Really want it. Deeply read about it. Thoroughly practice it. Make practice time your most sought after and joyous time. The more effort that is put into leaving the body the more results that are gotten out of it! The more thought and awareness you put into projection, the faster it will manifest into your reality. My friend Louis said he was obsessed with the out-of-body subject and causing the same. He can now project at will in five minutes or less. He read about it, reading deeply. He knows the Monroe books back to front and back. He practiced meticulously and abundantly. Lucidity_Man on Astral Society's OBE forum says that he exercises his brain all day with thoughts of leaving the body, thinking about what he wants to do when out of his body, how he will get out, what he will do in the instance he is stuck only halfway out, etc. He thinks all day about projection, and goes to bed excited and ready to get out... not to try, but to succeed! "Best part of the day is bed time", he says. Look at that dedication and focus. Look at that immersion. No wonder why he has gotten to the point of having a time distinguishing between waking life and lucid dreams! That's dedication, and mastery, or near to it. Do your really want to get out? Do you really want to master projection? Let your effort be the answer. I used to think my friend Louis was a superhuman, but he is just one who put much time and effort into projection.
5 Have support, at least in the beginning. Support can take many forms. You can get some books you like to read on the subject, and use that to inspire and comfort you. Books were my companions for years. You can join an online forum or online study group. I host one at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CezylGroup/, and another at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nonphysical_exploration/. You can study and build together with a school friend and/or sibling for direct interaction. You can get a chat buddy or phone/pen pal to discuss and practice OBE with. You can join a metaphysical discussion group. What other ways can you think of to support, motivate, and support yourself? Support and mutually inspire, encourage and build.
6 Know that you have experienced out of body exploration before, and several times at that. Have you ever experienced the vibrations, paralysis, the falling sensations, body parts snapping back in, or any other transition state phenomenon? Do you remember any OBEs from childhood? You have experienced it, and you still can. Now you're learning to leave your body at will.
7 It's no big deal. You can do it. Everyone does at it sleep! Don't let the ego or the intellect or fear get in the way. It's no big deal; it's natural and easy. Consciously give yourself permission to succeed. Let it flow. If you don't really want to get out, it is OK. Perhaps you really want to read about it more or whatnot. But if you really want to, really want to. Let your desire work for you. Half-assed attempts get you nowhere. If you are going for it, go for it. If not, sit down until you're ready. Decide either way. Make a firm decision, and then stick to it.
8 Practice to progress.

The Progression
There is a quite definite progression of states when going out of the body and getting back into the body. These states have been discovered to relate to distinct brain wave states. The most common four brain wave states have been called beta (waking), alpha (relaxation), theta (light sleep), and delta (deep sleep). Consciously reaching these different states I call state acquisition.
Consciously reaching theta is reaching the hypnogogic/hypnopompic state. In theta you may experience such things as seeing lights and scenes as if behind your eyelids, vibrations or paralysis, and seeing through your eyelids. This twilight state is generally called hypnagogic when reaching it by going into sleep, and hypnopompic when reaching it by coming out of sleep. Reaching deep theta is enough to get out of the body. In deep theta you can relax and move away from your physical body.
Consciously reaching delta is consciously reaching the OBE state. Delta is OBE. Delta is deep sleep to coma. When you reach delta you are ejected away from your physical body. Louis labeled delta as being at the threshold between living and dying. It's also a state of infinitely abundant healing and rejuvenation. Albert Taylor healed himself of muscular sclerosis through simply out-of-body traveling for instance.
I have divided these four states into different gates of practice. Remember that each gate is passed through each time one goes out of the body, and each time one gets back into the body. That is because these gates relate to the brain wave states, each brain wave state relating to a different state of consciousness as mentioned above. In this way practice can be looked at as a conscious progression through the states, with due attention given to each of the states. Each of the states is an adventure in its own right, and the more attention given to all of them the more easily can be the mastery of delta.

Gate 1
Core Skills
·   Relaxation (alpha)
·   Energy working
·   Meditation
·   Supportive Belief System
·   Dreaming
·   Awareness
·   Concentration

Exercises Part Two
The first four of the core skills of gate one, relaxation, energy working, meditation, and a supportive belief system, have been given earlier. Here we shall add the remaining three, dreaming, awareness, and concentration. Be sure to practice and delve into these seven exercises as often and as deeply as possible.

Dreaming- Practice keeping a detailed dream journal. When you finish sleeping make some dream notes, and make sure to do this consistently each day. Make it a point to remember your dreams. Give your dreams due importance. If you have difficulty remembering your dreams try recalling them as soon as you awaken, before you move even an inch.

Awareness- Practice being aware by not allowing yourself to drift at any time. If you are talking with someone, listen to what they are saying. If you daydream, do so consciously. Know that you are daydreaming, but don't allow yourself to be swept away in thought haphazardly like a ship without sail or rudder. Be consistently aware of all within and without. Be abundantly focused. You are awareness and being...

Century Count Concentration Exercise- Sit comfortably and close your eyes and count to 100. Know that counting to one hundred will only take a certain amount of time, no matter how long or short of a time, for one hundred is a finite number. Therefore allow yourself to put ALL of your attention on only the numbers (and the silence between the numbers), on unerringly and focusedly counting to 100. Practice this at least once per day.

* * *

Now you have all seven of the core exercises of the Cezyln system. I believe that anyone can master projection using these seven exercises alone.

Gate 2
·   Trance Meditation (theta)
·   The Morph (Stuart Wilde)

By consistently practicing the core exercises you will begin reaching a point in your meditations, anytime relaxations, and relaxation w/sleep exercises where you start to see flashes, lights, scenes, faces, hear voices, feel vibrations, and/or have some other type of transition state phenomenon occurring. This is the state of theta, the transition state betwixt being in the body and out of the body. You will also start to remember your dreams more and more. You are on your way.
As stated earlier don't have to get all they way to delta to get out of body. When you are in deep theta, at the borderland of theta and delta, you can relax and move and leave your physical body behind. When the transition state phenomenon you are experiencing gets deep and strong, relax and move with the intent to move without the physical body. Here is an exercise to help you with getting out of the body through the theta state using the theta transition state phenomenon:

Transition State Phenomenon Focus: Focus on and encourage the transition state phenomenon you experience. Whether vibrations, imagery, voices, or whatever you experience, focus on it and encourage it; creatively play around with it even. Allow the phenomenon to deepen. As the transitions state phenomenon gets deeper you are getting deeper into theta, which means you are getting closer to delta. At a certain point of deepening you will reach the borderline of theta and delta, and you can then relax and move away from your physical body.

Gate 3
·   Deep Trance (delta)

By continued practice of the core exercises and Gate 2 you will start to naturally and consciously go to and through the hypnagogic state of theta and into delta, and then experience the separation phenomenon of delta. An arm or a leg may jerk, a nonphysical arm or leg may start to float up into the air, or sink into the floor. You may start to spin or lift into the air, or feel yourself being touched or grabbed. Here are some tips to help you through delta:

- Go back, continue, and then move

If an arm sinks or floats up and you snap back into your physical body before taking advantage of it, simply go back to and continue whatever it was you were doing that brought on the separation. This time prepare yourself for the separation and be intent to go with it. Move away from your physical body when you notice the next separation.

- Relax

By relaxing you allow yourself to calm down and make an easier transition from theta through delta. Thus instead of an arm jumping out and startling you, causing you to redock with your physical body just as quickly, an arm may slowly float up into the air, and you will nonchalantly become aware of an arm floating and know that you are free to move away from your physical body. At the point of reaching delta (deep trance) you will automatically move away from your physical body, as if you are being magnetically moved away from it. From the out-of-body state you can practice the second part of Gate 3, here-now travel:

·   OBE here-now travel

Practice moving around your neighborhood, around the city, around the country, etc. Experiment. Explore. Be sure to have fun. Make games, exercises, and tasks to play and accomplish. Practice heartily and plentifully, and deeply and truly. Keep good journals of what you do, and keep any practice friends or partners posted. Be sure you've consciously given yourself permission to succeed at leaving your body. Address any fears or concerns you may have...

* * *

The third and final part of Gate 3 is traveling through time. Gate 4 entails the mastery of traveling into outer space (while staying within this galaxy), and the mastery of traveling out-of-body interdimensionally from here-now to the astral plane, and to and through any areas intervening here-now and the astral. Gate 5 entails traveling outside of this galaxy and beyond, and to planes higher than the astral plane. It may be best to first reach and master of aspect two of gate three, here-now out-of-body travel, before consciously moving onto the latter gates.
Working the Gates
I see three basic ways in which you can work the Gates: laterally, vertically, and by combination of these two.
You can work them laterally. For example, you can spend one week, 30 minutes per day, working on gate one, spending week two working on and exploring gate two, and so on.
You can work the gates vertically, which is to go through all the gates in one sitting. For instance, in each practice session you can take all the time it may take, even if it takes several hours, going through all the gates/states, from beta, through alpha and theta, and concluding in delta. This is eventually how it always is of course, but for the novice it can take a long time to get out from scratch in one sitting. It can take a lot of time at first, but it doesn't have to. It may be quick and easy for you. Experiment and explore. Focus on the outcome desired.
And you can work in various blends of combinations of lateral and vertical.
Essentially all three ways are gradual and progressive, and thus all three ways take patience and practice. Remember to continuously practice the basics to build a solid foundation of strength. I believe you learn the intricacies of the art through practice. I wish you the best.

Where to Go from Here, or
Projection Sequence to Getting Out
Generally you can do what I call a projection sequence to get out, where you form the exercises into a sequence that progressively gets you deeper. You can find examples of this all throughout this book. Here is a sample sequence, the one used in the Arms Through the Floor experience on page 88 of Travel Far and at http://www.cezyl.com/OBEs/armsfloor.htm:

1- Sit down and meditate 4-2 until entranced
2- Remain sitting and do energy work
3- Lie down and do relaxation into sleep with awareness until at transition
4- Focus on, play with, and move the transition phenomenon
5- When deep enough relax and move away from your physical body

The projection sequence has really helped me. Any other techniques you find or create you can add into the mix, or switch around in the sequence, etc. Be sure to adlib, add, or subtract as needed. The path is ultimately unique and individual. By studying Travel Far you can learn of the essence of projection and of many different techniques with direct examples of their use, such as focusing on your heartbeat, imagining pulling a rope, visualizing walking around your home, and mentally counting from 50 to 1 repeatedly. Experiment. Explore. If you want or need a wider variety of experiences and technique to study and practice there are many paper and online resources available. The bibliography of this book is a great way to start. As you can see I did much reading to get to this point. Whatever techniques you decide upon, I believe that the techniques and approaches in this book can help to at least form a solid foundation for success.
Remember while working with the nonphysical aspect of yourself (out-of-body work) to keep a rounded practice by working on your consciousness (spiritual growth, shadow work) and working on your physical body (martial arts, exercise, sexual energy work, right living), and other areas of the nonphysical aspect like chakra development and psychic ability. The online article by Lyssa Royal entitled Fourth-Density Relationships, the book Personal Power through Awareness by Sanaya Roman and Orin, and the interview Stuart Wilde gave on the Shadow, available online from News for the Soul, are absolutely invaluable to my spiritual growth. I do bike riding for exercise. Use your intuition. Allow your inner self, higher selves, guides, and the all that is to guide you. Add or subtract where necessary for you. Stay in the moment. Be creative. Explore.
This book is complete as a stand-alone work. I don't have all the answers, and I've yet to find any researcher, author, or teacher of information who does- though I've ran into those that claim to. Seek to parallel and surpass the experience, knowledge, and skill level represented in this work. This is BOOK I, Travel Far. You can expect BOOK II, Travel Farther, in 2005.

The Essence Behind the Essence
I've said that the above is the essence behind projection, and it is, for me. It may be for you also. The essence behind this essence is that with projection, as with anyone else, it is as easy as you make it. As a kid I used to just do it, but of course I didn't know you had to relax first, and do all these things. Of course after I learned you must do these things, not doing them became detrimental to my success rate. David Icke in a News for the Soul interview said that he went to the rain forest to imbibe a tropical plant known to cause mind-blowing experiences. During his experience the being teaching him asked him what brought him there, was it the drug taken. David answered yes, for he did take the drug. The being told him the drug did nothing, and that it was his belief in the drug that got him there. David went on to say how a group of people were told they were being given LSD as a part of a study. Half were given LSD and half were given a placebo, be it water or some other plain substance. Some of those given the placebo had trips as strong or stronger than those given actual LSD. I read in The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot of a guy who was given a placebo, thinking it was a super drug, and was 'cured' from a cancer that had consumed his entire body. Upon the man learning that the drug was only a placebo the entire condition came back and within days he died. It was he who healed, and harmed, himself.
Dr. Bruce Goldberg in his book Astral Voyages states that any technique or method will work, if you believe it will. I agree. The projection sequence, and the breakdown of the brain waves, all of the structure and sustenance here, it satisfies my beliefs about what projection is and what it takes to work, and thus by doing all these things I hypnotize myself into allowing myself out of body. In essence I'm creating a lock, putting the lock on the door, and then unlocking the lock with the key I made as a companion to the lock. It works for me. Thus again, add and subtract as needed. If you believe it will work, it will. Perhaps you can just will yourself out and that's it. J I've done it before.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CezylGroup/

Week 1:
Sunday June 20, 2004 thru Saturday June, 26, 2004

This first week of group effort we shall do the two relaxations, concentration, and 4-2 meditation. Consult the book Travel Far and/or the CezylGroup tutorials for the how-to and details to these and other exercises. Of course do your best to do all of the core exercises each day, yet focus on these three. This focus should get the gears turning. If you do nothing else, do at least the two relaxations, concentration, and 4-2 meditation, with this weekly schedule and group effort in mind. Do them as frequently and surely as possible. Remember: Intent, desire, awareness, attention, and intent!
The goal is to project within the next thirty days. The goal is to have a conscious fully controlled out-of-body experience by Friday, July 23, 2004. Decide now.

Projection Sequence: Getting Out


Generally you can do what I call a 'projection sequence', where you form the exercises into a sequence of exercises that progressively get you deeper. For instance:



1- Sit down and meditate 4-2 until entranced

2- Remain sitting and do energy work

3- Lie down and do relaxation into sleep with awareness until at transition

4- Focus on, play with, and move the transition phenomenon

5- When deep enough relax and move away form your physical body



Here is a great example of this:



Arms Through the Floor
Day 5
Session 8
Wednesday, March 12, 2003, 7:25 AM
Projection Journal 1
I started off sleepy, and intent to go deeply- with the notion to go all the way to projection. All of this was boiling strongly inside me. I intended to do the basic core exercises of this week, consisting of focusing on the second hand of the clock for a minute, meditating 4-2 until 'ready,' and relaxation, experimenting only after completing my core exercises. It is a matter of course now that during relaxation I get visions- with the potential of getting vibes at the start. My concentration practice has improved greatly. I went to meditation, again going nearly straight to sitting in trance rather than doing the 4-2 first. I seem to be magnetized to trance.

I did the 4-2 and then sat in trance. While sitting in a trance I decided to do energy work. I activated my feet, and then I drew energy up to my crown via my root charka and spine. I started on the main chakras but ended due to impatience. I brought some energy up my spine and looped it around completely one time and then down my front to the storage center once or twice. I drew some energy up my spine and around and straight to the storage about five times.

After meditation I laid down for relaxation. It was great. I entered a good deep state quickly. Sleepiness made it much easier. I entered trance and the vibrations started. They felt like bubbly, full-body vibrations. I strobed and did the ring exercise (making the vibrations into a ring around your body, and then moving the ring up and down). I quickly reached a state of lassitude. I turned onto my stomach, my face on my left cheek. Either as I went to the mat for relaxation, or as I turned around, I took a glance at the clock. It was 8:10 AM.

I again relaxed to some imagery. I focused on this, intent on allowing it to deepen. It did. It got stronger and clearer. I was seeing into a room of sorts. I was looking on as my vision scanned the room. It was a large room filled with so much pottery and ceramics and vases, with some furniture too. It was almost like a pottery store without the price tags.

I slipped into a dream. I was in the kitchen, like yesterday. Mom and her friend R. were there. I was sitting on a stool by the center counter. I was watching what they had on TV. There were several women in bikinis with a wrap around themselves, very sexually revealing their g-string bottoms for the guy in the scene. One would be there revealing, then the scene would change to another female, etc.

I was wearing a pair of my thin sleepwear pants, and I was becoming erect and it was showing more and more by the second. So as not to be embarrassed -and to masturbate- I moved to my room. As I walked to my room I saw what looked exactly like a Victoria's Secrets catalog I have, but it was huge and in the center of the hallway before the entranceway of the living room. I thought that I mistakenly left it out, but the size of the magazine and the fact that it was the middle part of another catalogue let me know it wasn't mine, and I had no reason to be embarrassed. J

I assume that I next entered my room, though I don't remember doing so. I just suddenly realized that I was in my room. At leaving the kitchen I thought of putting on an adult DVD. As I walked into my room the iron was there, and on, and smelled and looked burnt and burning. It was catching fire from being on too long. I'd forgotten it on, as I have physically done before. There was a box in the center of the length of the cord. This box had an on and off switch, and I was dumbfounded as to why I didn't notice that on the iron before, as it would have been easier to use that to turn the thing off, I thought. This dream, by the way, was more vivid than any ordinary dream.

I seemed to be sitting on the floor. There was this vacuum cleaner, shaped like a gas-motored grass blower, in about the center of the room. East of that was something else that I'll call a 'grinder'. It had these metal, spiked 'balls' on the end, attached as if to spin individually while the entire front part turned, turning all three of these already rotating 'balls'. It seemed to be for grinding. It was something like a miniature tunnel boring machine.

I took the iron control box and stuck it in between the grinder and the blower, causing intense heat from friction, as the grinder was on, and the blower had some action to it also. The blower caught on fire and disintegrated in a most peculiar way. The back or engine side of it caught on fire first, but rather than flames it sort of smoldered away. If you've seen the vampire movie Blade and noticed how the vampires burn to death when being cut by his sword you know what I mean.

The smoldering moved up the blower, disintegrating the blower to dust as it went. The thing is, the dust still had glowing embers in it, and I feared the carpet would set on fire. My mind was racing with the thought to get some water, but I was immobile. I wasn't paralyzed- or rather it didn't feel that way. I was just immobile. (Notice that the occurrences of being in paralysis, and of falling into a movie theater like dream experience, are both reoccurring themes in my experiences, and two of the trademarks of my projection positive states.) It was as if my legs were tied into the Zen meditation position, and I was powerless to move- not that I actively tried to free my state.

I watched as the grinder caught on fire, and then disintegrated, in exactly the same way as the blower. I just knew the house would catch on fire, for the embers where on the carpet and as much as I thought of and even visualized water pouring on the stuff, I still stayed put.

Something to the left about where my chair is caught my attention. I saw a sort of cauldron or round vase with something in it burning fiercely. It had some symbols or designs around the mid section of it. I feared it would set something on fire too. I then thought of the house having burned down, and I was seeing my mom in the middle of what looked to be a warehouse with only the frame standing. It locations seemed as if trying to be the result of the fire here, as my mother looked sadly and in mourning as if it was her house, standing inside the perimeter of the remains. But the size of what I was able to see, and the steel beams it had for supports, gave it away as another site all together- as did the scenery that was easily visible behind the site, being that all the walls were gone. This was more like watching a movie up close, rather than being in a dream.

I then thought of the burning equipment and my room, and the result as presented by this vision of the warehouse. The incongruity alerted me to my true situation of having fallen into a dream. For a moment I relished the thought of the concreteness and deliciousness of the dream. Then I thought of my nonphysical body and displacing.

After thinking to separate and displace, and putting all of my attention on my body awareness, my screen turned into a collage of ambiguous color. I paid it no mind though, and focused inward and downward to my body and how it felt and was. It was apparent to me that I was in my astral body. As I paid more attention to my astral body I noticed that the collage of colors that was once in my face seemed farther away. At first they were nearly filling my screen, as if I was but a few feet away from the movie theater screen but looking to the side of the movie screen. It ended up being a small collage of color off to the side and away, amid a big, empty void- like deep space without the stars.

I first thought to move my etheric arms. I started sliding my arms up, thinking, "please, please, please..." as if to say, "please stay separate and let me go!" My etheric arms had this electric quality to them, that I assume is because I had to have been dragging them through the floor. I was on my stomach, and that is that only possibility given the angle I was bringing them up at. I was moving them very slowly, and I could feel the tension I was causing because of my nervousness and my strong fear of ruining the experience.  

I notice that as I moved my etheric arms the astral environment took on a kind of 'spacious' feeling. I seem to have been partway between astral and etheric, and it was like when I started etherically moving the astral space around me expanded to fill this 'void' area, and I was astrally in the center of this void. The imagery that was once at my face was still a concentrated collage of color off to the side and far away- almost like a colorful medium sized star. I could see it as sort of a colorful area in this big void. Yet though I was in this void, I was still in this room, lying on the floor on my stomach, bringing my etheric forearm through he floor.

I got my hands up to about my lower abdomen, and I must have just snapped back because the next thing I know my arms seemed to have disappeared. I could no longer feel or perceive my etheric arms, and I could no longer feel my physical arms for the depth of the trance. Yet I knew they were where I left them. I had re-coincided. I decided to end this experiment, knowing next time to move wholly and gently, in a calm and relaxed manner, knowing that when I am etherically projected, I am etherically projected, so there. J



Afterthoughts:



What was that void exactly? (4/2/03)

***************



Any other techniques you find or create you can add into the mix, or switch around in the sequence, etc. The progressive sequence has really helped me though. Some techniques I've found that helped are focusing on your heartbeat, imagining pulling a rope, and visualizing walking around your home. Be creative.



Take care.

CezylGroup's OBE/Astral Tutorial Pt 3


By Cezyl (DEBJR)



Copyright © 2004 Cezyl (Darryl E. Berry Jr.)

www.cezyl.com



OBE Overview


-         Progressively get deeper

-         Note progress

-         Intend to succeed



Progression


There is a quite definite progression of states when going out of the body, and when getting back in the body. These states have been discovered to relate to distinct brain wave states, and these brain wave states have been called beta (waking), alpha (relaxation), theta (light sleep), and delta (deep sleep). The state equivalent to the out-of-body state is delta, so that can be the primary goal of the would-be proficient projector, to be able to consciously reach delta at will. Consciously reaching theta is reaching the hypnogogic state, where you may experience seeing lights and scenes as if behind your eyelids, experience vibrations or paralysis, or see through your eyelids. Reaching deep theta is enough to get out of body. Consciously reaching delta is consciously reaching the OBE state. Delta is OBE.

I have divided these four states in to different gates. Remember that each gate is passed through each time one goes out of the body, and each time one gets back in the body. That is because these gates relate to the brain wave states, each brain wave state relating to a different state of consciousness as mentioned above. In this way practice can be looked at as a conscious progression through each state, with the intent being to reach the out-of-body state, yet with due attention given to each of the states. Each of the states is an adventure in their own right, and the more attention given to all of them the more easily can be the mastery of delta.



Gate 1
Core Skills
·        Relaxation (alpha)

·        Energy work

·        Meditation

·        Supportive Belief System

·        Dreaming

·        Awareness

·        Concentration



The first four of the core skills of gate one, relaxation, energy work, meditation, and a supportive belief system, have been given in Tutorial Pt 2.1. Be sure to practice and delve into these as often and as deeply as possible. Here we shall add the remaining three:



Dreaming- Practice keeping a detailed daily dream journal. When you finish sleeping make some dream notes, and make sure to do this consistently each morning after you finish sleeping. Make it a point to remember your dreams. Give your dreams due importance.



Awareness- Practice being aware by not allowing yourself to drift at any time. If you are talking with someone, listen to what they are saying. Even if you daydream, do it consciously. Realize that you are daydreaming because you want to, but don't allow yourself to be swept away in thought haphazardly, like a ship without a sail.



Century Count Concentration Exercise- Sit comfortably and close your eyes and count to 100. Know that counting to one hundred will only take a certain amount of time, no matter how long or short of a time, for one hundred is a finite number. Therefore allow yourself to put ALL of your attention on only the numbers (and the silence between them), on unerringly and focusedly counting to 100. Practice this at least once per day.



Between this file and Pt 2.1 are the core exercises. I believe that anyone can master projection using these exercises alone. As you progress and as you seek the ability to project anytime anywhere you may want to make it a point to practice 'anytime relaxation', relaxation at times apart from sleep, listed as an optional exercise in Pt 2.1.



Gate 2
·        Trance Meditation (theta)

·        Morph (Stuart Wilde)



By consistently practicing the core exercises you will begin reaching a point in your meditations, anytime relaxations, and relaxation w/sleep exercises where you start to see flashes, lights, scenes, faces, hear voices, feel vibrations, and/or have some other type of transition state phenomenon occurring. This is the state of theta, halfway in and halfway out of the body. You will also start to remember your dreams more and more. You are on your way.

You don't have to get all they way to delta to get out of body though. When you are in deep theta, at the borderland of theta and delta, you can move and leave your physical body behind. When the phenomenon you are experiencing gets deep and strong, you can relax and move with the intent to move without the physical body, effectively leaving the physical body behind. Here is an exercise to help you with getting out of the body through theta:



Transition State Phenomenon Focus: Focus on and encourage the transition state phenomenon you experience. Whether vibrations, imagery, voices, or whatever you experience, focus on it and encourage it; creatively play around with it even. Allow the phenomenon to deepen. As the transitions state phenomenon gets deeper you are getting deeper into theta, which means you are getting closer to delta. At a certain point of deepening you will reach the borderline of theta and delta, and can then relax and move away from your physical body.



Gate 3
·        Deep Trance (delta)



By continued practice of the core exercises you will start to naturally go consciously to and through the hypnagogic state of theta and into delta, and then experience the separation phenomenon of delta. An arm or a leg may jerk, a nonphysical arm or leg may start to float up into the air, or sink into the floor. You may start to spin or lift into the air, or feel yourself being touched or grabbed. Here are some tips to help you through delta:



·        Go back, continue, then move



If an arm sinks or floats up and you snap back into your physical body before taking advantage of it, simply go back to and continue whatever it was you were doing that brought on the separation. This time prepare yourself for the separation and be intent to go with it. Move away from your physical body when you notice the next separation.



·        Relax



By relaxing you allow yourself to calm down and make an easier transition from theta to delta. Thus instead of an arm jumping out and startling you, causing you to redock with your physical body just as quickly, an arm may slowly float up into the air, and you will nonchalantly become aware of an arm floating and know that you are free to move away from your physical body.  

At the point of reaching delta (deep trance) you can move away from your physical body and practice the next of the three parts of Gate 3, here-now travel:



·        OBE here-now travel



Practice moving around your neighborhood, around the city, around the country, etc. Experiment. Explore. Have fun. We will have some individual and group games, exercises, and tasks to play with and accomplish when enough people reach this level of proficiency. We will also have some individual and group games, exercises, and tasks along the way to help everyone reach this level of proficiency. Thus practice heartily and plentifully, and deeply and truly, and keep good journals of what you do, and keep everyone posted as best you can.





The third and final part of gate three is traveling through time, which we shall delve more into in a future tutorial. Gate four entails the mastery of traveling into outer space (while staying within this galaxy), and the mastery of traveling out-of-body interdimensionally from here-now to the astral plane, and to and through any areas intervening here-now and the astral. Gate five entails traveling outside of this galaxy and beyond, and to planes higher than the astral plane. These shall also be delved into in future tutorials. First is the reaching of aspect two of gate three, here-now out-of-body travel.



Working the Gates
I see three basic ways in which you can work the gates, laterally, vertically, and by combination of these two.

You can work them laterally. For example, you can spend one week, 30 minutes per day, working on gate one, spending week two working on and exploring gate two, and so on. You can work the gates vertically, which is to go through all the gates in one sitting. For instance, in each practice session you can take all the time it may take, even if it takes several hours, going through all the gates/states, from beta, through alpha and theta, and concluding in delta. This is eventually how it always is of course, but for the novice it can take a long time to get out from scratch in one sitting. It can, but it doesn't have to, and it can be quick and easy for you. But be aware of the possibilities. And you can work in various blends of combinations of lateral and vertical.

Essentially all three ways are gradual and progressive, and thus take patience. Remember to practice the basics to build a solid foundation of strength. You learn the intricacies of the art through practice. I wish you the best.

Hey all...

I didn't want to slip the link in the tutorial, so here is a promo ready for the deleting if it is unacceptable on any forum.  

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CezylGroup/


I've started a group that is already helping me out:

*********
I laid down about 40 minutes ago and started to relax into sleep,
after developing the intent that I would succeed and deciding who I
would catch (See tutorial one). I decided I would catch my good
friend Manuel (*fiendish grin*) and I would move ahead so no newbie
can catch me. Mwahaa! I laid down and relax into sleep as in the
Tutorial 2, and some light vibrations started. I made myself aware
of the vibrations and relaxed into them, and let them be and just
went with it. I started to get imagery. It was like I was suddenly
standing elsewhere amongst some people, outside somewhere, perhaps
next to a forest. This brings evidence for the notion that the
nonphysical bodies are already on their respective dimensions, and
we just become aware in them, or that projection can happen already
before you know it (think Robert Bruce mind-split theory).

I kept relaxing and going deeper into it, though I can't say if I
was specifically relaxing into sleep, or the vibrations, or both.
Let the feeling move you. I kept having this experience of suddenly
being in another place visually, like all encompassing and 3D
imagery, and then I was in something of a void period I'd say. Next
thing I know I had a major repercussion. My left arm felt like it
was falling, and it was very sudden. This made me go to `catch' my
arm, like it was falling onto the floor or something, so I lifted my
arm quickly and my physical arm popped up off the mat/blanket. I had
a separation of at least the arm. :>

I also forgot to brush and floss my teeth, so I knew I would have to
get up and do this. Knowing this helped me to remain aware, for it
was something to remain aware for. If I fell asleep I would not be
able to clean my teeth, and it would be seriously bothering me.

Cezyl
**********

I have a series of tutorials to help, composing several ideas and tricks to get everyone going. You'll be able to find the tutorials on this forum, and they will continue to be shared freely so you don't have to join just to get the tutorials. I hope this little promo is OK, and I hope I can help people with this group, as you are greatly helping me with your presence.

Cheers.

[OBE Overview]

OBE Overview

-         Practice and patience works

-         Experiment and explore

-         Study and research



Exercises

4-2 Meditation- Sit down comfortably, and inhale to the count of four, and then hold to the count of two, and then exhale to the count of four, and then hold to the count of 2, repeat. The more you do this meditation, the deeper you get with it each time. It's progressive. Each time you get deeper. Just let it flow. The meditation itself will teach you what to do. Amongst other times it is good to practice this at night before sleep/projection practice.



Relax into sleep with awareness- Relax as you go to sleep, and intend to remain aware as you go to sleep, to see what happens as you go to sleep. Observe and note everything that happens as you go to sleep, and relax very deeply. Move as needed to remain comfortable.



Energy working- Do daily energy working exercises. You can see the NEW system on www.astralpulse.com for tips and techniques on energy working.



Anytime relaxation (optional)- At any time apart from sleep spend time relaxing your body as completely as possible, seeking out and releasing every bit of tension in the self, physical, mental, and spiritual. Develop the ability to positively relax at will.



Belief Systems-

1 OBE is natural and easy.

2 OBE is simply consciously getting into a deep enough state of sleep, what I call state acquisition.

3 Know that you can OBE, consciously and easily, no ifs ands or buts about it, you can. Don't believe you can do it, know you can do it, and know that every one else leaves their body too! You have the natural ability to project, and it's there whenever you need it, if you let yourself have it!!!

4 Be enthusiastic about projection. Really want it, read about it, practice, practice, and more practice, etc. The more that effort is put into it the more that results are gotten out of your efforts!

5 Have some support from one or more friends, at least in the beginning. Join a forum or group, study and build together with a school friend or a sibling, get a chat buddy or phone/pen pal to discuss it with, etc. Support and mutually inspire, encourage, and build.

6 Know that you have experienced out of body exploration before, and several times at that. Have you ever experienced the vibrations, paralysis, the falling sensations, body parts snapping back in, or any other transition state phenomenon? Do you remember any OBEs from childhood? You have experienced it, and you can too! Remember that you have already, and you still can!

7 It's no big deal. You can do it. Everyone does at it sleep! Don't let the ego or the intellect get in the way. It's no big deal; it's natural and easy. Let it flow.

8 Practice and make progress, and keep your support partner or group updated!



Tailor make- remember to add, subtract, or adlib as needed, as this is a guide

CezylGroup's OBE/Astral Tutorial Pt 1

By Cezyl (DEBJR)



Copyright © 2004 Cezyl (Darryl E. Berry Jr.)


Outlook


-         Help and be helped

-         Love and sharing

-         Cross-comparison

-         Hands-on research and experimentation





The Purpose of this Group


This group is for the purpose of mastering the out-of-body experience. I intend to help everyone to succeed as best I can. I also open to any advice and help you can give to me in my growth to OBE proficiency. This group, the CezylGroup OBE/Astral Training Group, is for the purpose of helping each other grow and evolve along the lines of astral/OBE proficiency.

Within this group is a member who is more proficient than me at the OBE. Within this group is a member who is less proficient than me at the OBE. Within this group there may be one with the same proficiency as me at the OBE. I propose that we do these three things:



1)      Never let those less proficient catch you



I don't mean this in the sense of competition, but in the sense of playful motivation. Those that are less proficient than you, never let them catch you! Why? Because it works hand in hand with number two:



2)      Be sure to catch up with those more proficient than you



Those that are more proficient than you, be sure to catch them! Be sure to catch up with them in skill level and proficiency. This works hand in hand with number three:



3)      Be sure to help everyone, including those more proficient, less proficient, and equal in proficiency, as best you can



Now we have one person who is more proficient, who is practicing and developing his/her hardest so that no one can catch them. A playful race. Then we have someone who is less proficient trying to catch the person that is more proficient. A steady external motivation. Yet we have both people helping the other as much as possible. Even though the less proficient player is trying to catch the more proficient player, the less proficient player helps the more proficient player as much as he/she can. What does this do? It gives the less proficient player more love and goodness in his/her life, as well as even more motivation, like the proverbial horse with the carrot dangling from a stick, egging it on. It keeps going further. Then we have the more proficient one, who though has the goal of never getting caught, helps the less proficient as best as he/she possibly can. This generates more love and goodness in his/her life, as well as providing even more playful motivation. Then everyone evolves, and everyone grows, and this planet, and thus the universe, moves that much faster to the next level and beyond.

I hope for you to see that there is no limit to the levels of development that may be reached, and it does no good to try to hinder anyone. All we do is help ourselves by helping others, for we open a door for ourselves. It's like opening the door before you walk though its threshold. Push those ahead of you on, and let them open the door. Pull those behind you up, and help them get in the door. There is always something both can teach the other, as well as those of equal standing can teach the lateral. There is always growth. Grow, grow, grow...



Then there is the lagniappe number four:



4)      There will always be someone more proficient than you, less proficient than you, and as proficient as you



So there.



___ ___ ___



OBE or the out-of-body experience is the apparent ability of the self (consciousness), with our without a nonphysical vehicle to travel in, to consciously and willfully leave the physical body and travel along without it. Some precursors to this phenomenon are feelings of vibrations, as if the bed is shaking up and down, or your body is vibrating, experiences of being unable to move, called the paralysis, or feelings of falling, or the jerking back of body parts as if a certain body part falls back down. You were either on your way in or out of the body, as this process happens as a natural part of sleep.



Go to Part Two and read about the group exercises, and have fun, help all, and love.

I want to say that I didn't do this myself, nothing I have done. I have had the potent help, assistance, and aid of my friend Manuel, and the ever present help and aid of my guides, including Okanos, and the others who choose to remain nameless, and of course my ever present source self, or higher self, as well as all of you out there who help me, and all of the authors and website holders whose generosity have fueled and nurtured me. Thank you all, and thank you for joining and making this dream come true. Please share this file and the remaining files of this series with as many people as you can.

Does anyone have any articles that they've saved from previous version of my site that they can send me. I'm working on collecting them all and forming them into a book, and in case I am missing any, which I am pretty sure I am, it would help if you all sent them back so I can collate them.  

Any help appreciated. Send them here:

cezyl@cezyl.com

You can paste the whole thing into the email, or send a Word or wordpad file, or whatever the case may be, as long as it is the complete article with header.

Take care.

I'm almost finished Travel Far. As I contemplate it I see that it is the one book in the world that is a concentration of techniques and experiences that match mine absolutely perfectly... I wrote it and it is a collection of the techniques I've used, and the experienced gained through their use, so that would be. Perhasp what we ALL need is to do our own research, and to write our own books. Perhaps that is the way to mastery. I predict that the reading and application of Travel Far will be the crux of my development. In essence I'll be my own master, and I can recreate what I've done throughout the years but in a concentrated way... mastery.  

[Course Outline]

What do you think of this progression of practices? Should anything be added, subtracted, or what?

Hey all...

I need some help. My practices are starting to go downhill, largely in part to the fact that I am still undecided on what technique to do. By the time I go to lie down I have three things I want to do, and it doesn't work out. I think I need to get my focus down, and decide on something. The dream thing is good in theory, but I don't seem to have the patience to dedicate myself wholly to dream work. I think: Well, perhaps tonight I'll be able to get straight out. And if I focus only on dreams its: perhaps I could have just gotten straight out.

My friend Tania suggests I work on spiritual growth more (break from OBE for a little while, solely meditation and vibrational raisings and stuff???), but the part of me that feels MAYBE OBE is my next attempt keeps me anxious and pushing on without more spiritual development, but I am failing.

Advice, tips, examples from your experience, ideas???

P.S.
I'm going practice now. In the words of the one in need of advice, maybe THIS TIME I'll get out. []

Peace

Projection, Paralysis, and Mind-Split Effects or the Further Acknowledgment from the First Cezyln

5/14/2004 8:34 PM
I must say that reading Astral Dynamics while having more experience under my belt is very humbling. Whereas before I saw rubbish and nonsense I now see things that relate to what I have experienced, and explain it in a new and expanded light, and from a more integrated and expanded perspective. For one is the mind-split, paralysis, and dreams.
I have often (relative to the relatively few projections I've had when compared to the likes of Robert Bruce, Robert Monroe, and Sten Oomen) projected from a dream, relaxing out of the paralysis after latching onto my nonphysical body from inside the dream. Reaching page 87, chapter 6 of Astral Dynamics I reach the chapter on paralysis. He mentions one that paralysis can't, or very rarely does, ever happen from paralysis, because the projection has usually already occurred. I think back to the several times I've projected from paralysis, and the fact that I consider paralysis my most tried and true, and most effective and friendly, means to getting out-of-body in the here-now. I throw my hands up and say 'rubbish'.
I had to talk to someone about it so I went online to my good friend Matt and share with him the dilemma, and scoop up an experience very illustrative of projecting from paralysis:

"I realized my state and tried to move physically and sure enough I was steadfast in paralysis. But this little test caused me to redock a bit. From experience I learned that relaxing releases the nonphysical body when in paralysis so I started relaxing and sure enough I became more and more free to move."

I pasted this into chat for him, and reading it I realized what happened. "But this little test caused me to redock a bit..." I realize that I was already projected, and had to redock with the physical, in order to leave it that 'second' time. And then thinking back to my posts online, I see that I would as I said latch back onto my physical or nonphysical body. Why would I have to latch on (and how would I be able to) if I was not unlatched already? This is an excerpt from what I posted on the astralpulse and Jonas Ridgeway forums (plus some grammatical corrections) about projection through the use of dreams and 'latch on':

"I have found that once I become aware that I am dreaming it is just a matter of latching onto my nonphysical body by thinking it, like realizing I am really lying down asleep, and feeling for my body and connecting with it. Then I try to move and I find that I'm in paralysis, and then I relax and move out and away from my physical body."

As I continued to read, I realized that this has been occurring with me. I have been undocking, and then redocking (latching on), in order to undock again. I looked askance at it when he mentioned this on page 85 of Astral Dynamics, but perhaps Robert Bruce is right in saying that there is nothing simple about OBE. I'll continue to practice, and I am definitely finding out.  

Thank you Robert for your sharing and good will.

hey all...

I am very excited. I am going to take a new approach to getting out of body, through dreams. I have found that once I become aware that I are dreaming it is just a matter of latching onto my nonphysical body by thinking it, like realizing I are really lying down asleep, and feeling for my body and connecting with it. Then I try to move and I find that I'm in paralysis, and then I relax and move out and away from my physical body. I have been waking up and going back to sleep, or just lounging in the morning by consciously thinking that in the morning I'll just dream, and this has had a great affect on bringing me some vivid dreams. I'll start to focus on my dreams more, and work on becoming aware in them and then just latch on to my nonphysical body as I said above and move out. I'll continue to meditate and stuff, and do energy work and things also. I figure this can be a stepping-stone to being able to get out consciously from waking, like directly stepping out. It related to the 'astral dreaming' method shared in the book Astral Travel by Yvonne and Gavin Frost, which is a very great book. I am too excited now to sit and read that part again, but it is closely related.

Hey Swaroop...

Would you please share a bit on your lucid dream experiences into these pictures, how you do it and what it is like?

Hey all.

I've been really reading Astral Dynamics and Matrix 5, and Psychic Vampires (Joe Slate) closely, and I see several interesting things that I didn't see before with my ego in the way. For one, Robert Bruce discovered the mind-split thing by accident. He says on page 48:

I discovered the mind-split effect by sheer accident, during an extremely powerful projection, as told below. Subsequent experiments with the mind-split effect, sparked by this initial discovery, have since verified my original hypothesis.

This gives credence to the mind-spit effect not being some conjectured thing, but a solid reality. I remember an experience in which I was practicing projection, and had the vibrations, etc., and then the entire thing ended flat. I thought it was over and decided to lie there and enjoy my failure. But I also have a memory of going through the bedroom wall and into the living room, and then floating in the living room and seeing Janet go to the kitchen.

Do any of you have mind-split experiences, or experience BEFORE knowing about his mind-split theory, that substantiate the theory. I had that experience AFTER reading about it, and using his techniques. Could the specific techniques used cause such things to happen? Long time projector Robert Monroe never mentions such a thing, but got 'out' differently, mostly by what I call 'state-acquisition', directly acquiring different states. Or is it just that he didn't observe or stumble upon observing the process by having an awake and aware consciousness in both bodies? Perhaps because he only got out-of-body from direct sleep, never really did long and deep meditations like Bruce does.

Comments, experiences?

An Acknowledgement Here...

5/8/2004 7:30 PM

If my ego not weight my hand down too much I'd like to get something else out. Notwithstanding the ever classic works of Robert Monroe, I have found three very potent works: Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce, Matrix V by The Author, and Astral Travel (and correspondence course) by Yvonne and Gavin Frost. These works are by people who base things on experience, either experience alone, or research with a very hefty load of experience.

ASTRAL DYNAMICS

One of the reasons why I thwarted and sometimes bashed the works of Robert Bruce and these others is EGO. It was competition. I even looked askance at the reliability of his experience, or the supposed breadth of his experience, and most probably because of the fickle and presumptuous nature of my experience and boasting. It certainly seems his experiences matches his mouthpiece.

MATRIX 5

This dude is another boasting the crucible of experience behind his works. Again I looked askance, competition, but I see the potency of his work also. Dude certainly seems to have ego, which I could probably see so clearly for the size of my own. But dude certainly seems to have the experience to back it up.

ASTRAL TRAVEL

This book Astral Travel by Yvonne and Gavin Frost is different from any before and since it for at least one particular reason. It is not based upon the experience of ONE individual, but well over a thousand. They projected and taught to project, and the combined data and experiences of all of these individuals are combined to form this book and its techniques. Both the Church and School of Wicca and the Canterbury Institute in England combined forces to bring about this thing. Potency indeed.

Where to go from here...

I am taking these three potent works and studying them. I no longer wish to compete, but to learn and to grow, to SINCERELY grow, very deeply so, and perhaps to help others along as I go. After running it through my mind I firmly believe that I can read ANYTHING, yet still clear my mind enough to see reality as it is, should that be necessary. Perhaps my fear of seeing was not fear of finding something new and alien; though part of the reason, but also of CONFIRMING what these folks are saying. That would mean I'm behind, in the rears, or to the ego that is what it means. Would I get swallowed up into their works, or into their teachings or methodologies and ideologies? Would I be overshadowed?

Well. Reality is what it is, and thus perceived will be what it is. That is the premise I am going on. I'll study so closely and vibe off of their potency and their vie for experience, and LEARN what they have SO DEARLY to teach. Hopefully it will help carry me along. Hopefully my release of all the dead weight I was carrying is enough to set me free.

So long...
