That was a great reminder, Frosty! I don't have the worst relationship with my family, but I don't have the best either. I really appreciate everything they have done for me infinitely and everything I have grown as a person, but today in my adulthood, I feel the desire to be as far away as possible. Always knowing that they are well and that they do not lack anything, knowing that they have my love forever. But at the same time I don't want to share moments (which always end in fights, we have very different personalities) sometimes I have felt like I was going to go completely crazy lol.

Today in my adulthood I learned to set limits and find my way, to make my own home, which I learned resides in my own heart and not in a specific place. That's why I have the soul of a traveler (astral and physical). I still try to find my place in the world, but maybe it's not here, maybe my place is only in the heart of God.
This year I have decided to complain less and be more grateful. In my case, more than healing a lineage it will close it, since I do not want to have children and neither do my stepbrothers. I feel that I have reached the maturity of no longer blaming anyone for my feelings, other than myself, and that others are doing the best they can.
I feel stronger and full of courage and I hope to be able to travel alone again for many years and live many happy adventures.

I loved the article! Thank you so much for sharing. It's really a great exercise and it's exactly what I've been doing lately.

Every day, after doing some stretching and breathing exercises in the morning, I take a few minutes to give thanks. I thank my body for being the vehicle of consciousness that allows me to grow. To my mind, and my spirit also, simply for being part of existence and helping me expand. I transmit love and good energy to my body and my entire being, bringing light to each of my cells.
I remember that everything is Consciousness and that nothing is outside of Consciousness. That I'm not alone, but rather part of a larger organism, of which I am an integral part.
I remind myself that every person is an aspect of God, experiencing from a new and unique perspective, and that I must respect others' paths, no matter how different they may be from mine. There's something to learn from everyone, even from the most complicated people. This develops a lot of patience and tolerance.
And most importantly, I remind myself that I never left my True Home and that I only need to learn how to access it through the veils of the physical world. In fact, I believe it's the great and final challenge.

At night, I do the same exercise of reviewing my own attitudes during the day and how many times I get lost in the labyrinths of the ego and in reactions that don't seem like mine. I don't judge myself and I wrap myself in love, trying to understand why it happened, why I reacted that way, why I said what I said. I do a self-analysis, trying to find the best solution. If I don't find it, I invoke the higher aspects of my consciousness to slowly give me the answers and show me the way.

I feel that doing all this is important and it only takes a few minutes (although I like to spend hours immersed in reflection), but it's not necessary.
A few minutes can make a big difference in life, and the world could be a better place for everyone.

Hi AmongTheStarz! Great to see you here again, and I can see you've made a lot of progress - congratulations! You're doing an excellent job, and have you realized that you're having experiences almost at will now? That's important. Everything else is just details that will fall into place on their own. You've already received excellent advice, so I'll just add what works for me...

1. If you want to make your experiences last longer, you can program your subconscious for that too. While you're doing the induction before projecting, you can set the intention "I'll have long, lucid dreams/OBEs, and I won't be able to wake up" - repeat it several times. This has been a game-changer for me. Now it's just a matter of not getting scared when you try to return to your body and can't do it for up to three times or more! (And you'll have many false awakenings) Don't despair, you'll always return eventually. That's what I did to extend my experiences, and it worked for me. But everyone's different, so you'll need to experiment and find what works for you.

2. I used to have that problem too - feeling like I was leaving my body, but everything felt heavy, like gravity had increased, and I had to drag myself across the floor. In my case, it just went away on its own. I think your energy body is adjusting to these experiences, and at some point, it might just stop happening. Or, as Lumaza says, try forgetting that you have a body and just focus on your consciousness and will - that might help.

3. I think the best way to practice patience is through practices here in the physical, like meditation or other mindfulness exercises.

Keep up the good work and keep sharing your progress with us.
Thanks!

Warmest wishes to all for a joyous Christmas! May this special time of year bring as closer together as One Humanity and may Love be the beacon that guides us.
I'm grateful for this amazing comumnity and for each and every one of you!
May your holliday season be filled with joy, love and all the things that bring you happiness.

Sending you all warmest hugs,
Tak.
 

That was fantastic! I clearly see the word IN on that wall! I love it ❤

I understand what you feel, I don't want to die either, but at the same time, I have a strong feeling to join those higher aspects of my consciousness that will allow me to see the wider reality. And I wonder how far I'll be able to go in this life, what will be my maximum point of inflection. I feel that I'm capable of a lot, and at the same time, my human conditioning and fears delay this expedition back towards the True Self.

The Ego is a necessary tool for this particular human experience as it is right now, with this illusion of separation. My experiences of ego loss were so strong that in my case, I don't know if I'd be able to live a "normal" life without ego, that's why I respect its importance and functionality. Maybe because I'm not prepared, since many Masters have achieved that and it hasn't changed their life at all, but rather enriched it.

Maybe you could ask in the midst of your astral travels and meditations for this intention, for this Presence 14 to manifest in a more palpable way, something grand could happen. Although in my opinion, incredible things are already happening in your life, Tides! You're blessed and fortunate.

I never shared this before, but a few months ago when I left my body in a projection, I asked to see my main Guide, I know he's always with me, although I don't see him often, but I missed him. I've seen him as a huge mass of three-meter light emanating unconditional love or in a more symbolic way, as a wise old man with a gray beard and robes. I know I have many guides, but he's the main one, and there are others "secondary" (they come and go, they're practitioners), but I really missed him and wanted to see him. So, I sat in a corner of my room after leaving my body for a while and called him. Nothing happened, so I went on an adventure through my window as usual. But something extraordinary happened.

The next day, I woke up during the night to go to the bathroom, everything was dark. My room door was closed, and it leads to a small hallway without external light sources, meaning it's always completely dark because all the doors connecting to the hallway were closed and all the lights were off. However, I saw under the door gap that the hallway was completely illuminated with a very, very intense white light. I thought maybe I'd left the hallway light on, but the light in that hallway is different, it's warm-toned, yellow, and dim. In this case, the light I was seeing through the door gaps was white (blue spectrum) and very intense, so I was completely confused about what I was perceiving. I went to look for my slippers and headed towards it to open the door, but the light disappeared, it turned off suddenly. I opened the door, and everything was dark... In fact, I turned on the hallway light myself to see how it looks from my room with the door closed, and it didn't look anything like what I was perceiving before, it came from another energy source.

In conclusion, there was a presence of Light there, so to speak, which then disappeared suddenly when I opened the door. That was shocking! I think my request was heard, and there was a metaphysical manifestation. These beings have the ability to materialize partially here, but if they really appeared in front of us, maybe we'd die of fright! We'd faint, and it would be traumatic. I feel that the door acted as a buffer between us, since if I'd woken up seeing that presence next to me, I would've been extremely scared (even knowing who it was). For some reason, in my projections, I feel very adventurous, but here the filters are stronger, and I have more fears.

I consider this experience a wonderful gift that I'll never forget, and a clear demonstration that these loving presences never tire of showing us that they're always by our side. I'm so grateful when this happens that I feel like crying.

I also can't say for sure how these processes work in detail. Hopefully, we'll understand it better someday! I think you're doing wonderful work. Keep paying attention to these signs!

As the Bible says..."For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."

Oh! I haven't had enough time to read this entire thread from the beginning, but I will do so later.
Tides, what you have shared is wonderful, it warms my heart.

What we consider "inside and outside" of ourselves is not such, everything is One. Therefore it is completely coherent that other Beings who assist us, our Higher Self, and everything that exists communicates with us in extraordinary ways. It is shocking at times, and it seems as if physical reality is not as solid as we perceive it... on the contrary, permeable to thought.
You are blessed to be attentive to all these details! Sometimes I'm not so focused and I miss a lot.

I think that rather than expanding I will just say "Everything is Consciousness, nothing is outside of Consciousness."

Wow, Lightbeam, that was a great and fun one! And I'm sure the physical cake wasn't as delicious as the non-physical one  
Over ten years ago, I also enjoyed doing that, but in this last year of practice, I haven't been able to make food taste better than it does in this physical plane. It has the same flavor and is pleasant, but sometimes the opposite happens, it's like chewing paste, an insipid and boring texture, no matter how much I eat, it doesn't satisfy me, I don't know why .
But despite it, I love entering bakeries in my LDs and eating whatever I want... Everyone looks at me impressed, as if saying... Oh my God! We've lost her LOL. It's good to have some fun every now and then.

Wow, Tides, more and more synchronicities! Thanks for sharing your dream, I have trouble interpreting it, but I'm sure your subconscious gave you a lot of material to analyze there.
As for mine, I think it's related to polarities and the fact of being here on Earth experiencing them. The fact that I myself manipulated the cold and hot faucet confirms that we are the ones who make the decisions from a higher level. Just one possible interpretation!
I read your dream about being pierced with a needle, I think you were receiving an important energy adjustment, my dear friend! Something was being done to you, and I'm sure that will bear fruit very soon, if it's not already doing so, congratulations!

December has been very hectic for me, and I lost track of time, I didn't realize I had stopped posting my dreams for almost a month. But of course, I'll be back! Lately, I've been having a lot of fun every night, I wake up very happy.
Hopefully, we'll have more sync dreams!

Last night, something quite new happened to me. I was entering the hypnagogic state, and for some reason, I created the scene of wetting my hands under a faucet. At first, the water was very cold, and I could really feel my hands freezing. But then I turned on the hot water and burned myself. The sensation was real. I still hadn't fully entered the dream scene, I was just seeing those images from my bed, between sleep and wakefulness. However, when the hot water came out and burned me, I woke up. To my surprise, I still felt my hand burning, as if I had really burned it! I looked at it with my phone's flashlight to see if it was red or if there was any reaction, but there was nothing, just the sensation of intense heat. I've always found it fascinating how the mind can replicate the sensations it learned in this physical plane. In lucid dreams, I frequently experience many physical sensations, and they're comparable to this reality. But I had never brought a physical sensation from a dream into wakefulness like this before. I've read about many people here on Astral Pulse who have had similar experiences, but this is the first time it's happened to me, and it really caught my attention.

Therefore, this also makes me reflect on a deeper level about the impact of our thoughts on our body and emotions, and how careful we need to be with them.

There is no such a thing as evolved soul or new soul. All consciousness exists simultaneously with no beginning and no end. Everything is ageless, infinite and eternal.

Beautiful, Lightbeam! I'm keeping this last phrase to remember it always.

Over the past year, I've been reading many books about what different authors of OBE and Truth seekers say about who we are, where we come from, and where we're going. A basic question that every seeker wants to know. And what I see is that no one takes into account the time factor, seeing everything only from a linear view. So, we come across these kinds of concepts that we need to be careful with, because they can lead to misunderstandings or a sense of superiority, which leads to the famous Spiritual Ego. So, if everything is simultaneous, we would be experiencing all our facets at the same time in a higher level of consciousness, from being a tiny mineral to the most magnificent being of light at the same time. When the time factor and individual ego are erased from the formula, we see that our True Self expresses itself beyond time, space, and individuality, rendering the concept of soul evolution from "inferior to superior" ineffective. Rather, the correct word would be expansion and knowledge, wisdom. I think the concept of evolution, going from point A to point B, does still exist, but seeing it from a linear perspective, from here. Look beyond that and you'll see the full spectrum.

Yes, I think that's what Earth is about, diversity and having a broader vision of things. Everything teaches us. Respect for everyone despite their particular beliefs is fundamental and to focus only on what really matters, Love.

Fascinating, Frosty! Sometimes I wonder how many people in the world contemplate something beyond the physical, just out of curiosity. I've also often wondered how many people experience OBEs regularly and that kind of thing. In one of William Buhlman's books, he conducted a very interesting survey, and I think I recall that he concluded that at least 20% of the world's population would have these experiences. That was 20 years ago, who knows if the number has increased.
I've met at least ten people in my life who have had spontaneous OBEs.

On the other hand, I have friends who are complete atheists. Don't even mention the words "ET, Soul or God" in front of them, or they'll laugh hard. For them, that's just related to science fiction movies and old beliefs. Some of them unfortunately take psychiatric medication because when they had some unusual experience, they got scared and think it's just a product of their mind.
And that's perfectly fine, it's a world of free will, and if they don't want to embrace the spiritual reality, it's what they need at this moment. However, you would be surprised to know how wonderful people they are, they have very high human values and are very sweet people. They seek well-being and that of others, and they have big dreams and projects. They never hesitate to help you and are compassionate. I always say that they practice spirituality without knowing it. They even practice Yoga, but only as a form of sport. Still, subconsciously they bring with them all the tools they need to work on their spirit here on Earth, they just decided to forget their spiritual part in this incarnation. I learn a lot from them. Unfortunately, I feel limited and never share what I experience with them, but I still nourish myself with their company.
What they teach me is to accept everyone's path, to never judge, and to realize that what's truly important is action and love.

There are many people who claim to be very spiritual, and then we see the opposite in their actions. So, in conclusion, spirituality to me is action, it's something that's lived and felt, and not a specific cosmology, study, or belief.
'By their fruits, you will know them.'

Moreover, it's impossible not to be spiritual, we are spirit. Therefore, for me, there are no spiritual and non-spiritual people, only those who have chosen to forget it and those who embrace it 

For those who feel alone.

How beautiful! Thank you for sharing... I'm currently reading The Convoluted Universe 3. It's really addictive! I'm enjoying it a lot... If someone asks me how I best connect with God, I would say in nature... I've always said that God is in nature, not in churches. I love talking to the forest, and I've really experienced how everything has consciousness, even the sun's rays. It's always good to remember that we're not alone. And despite all the beautiful experiences life has given me, I still find myself with those unpleasant feelings. So, I imagine that I'm in a kind of illusory shell that doesn't let me see true reality, and I break it. I also imagine that my body is Light, and my surroundings are also Light, and there's no difference between us - it's the same Light. It always works. Thank you!

Well, it could be a a US Black Project, but it just doesn't make sense to be one. Why go through all the secrecy of developing such a Black Project aircraft to then make it so widely exposed? I guess it could be for "softening" up the general public for an eventual disclosure. But...this doesn't explain why this is happening in other countries as well, particularly in the UK. If they are human craft, it is till hard to get past the reports that they can submerge into the ocean then fly out of the water at high speed. Of course these reports could be inaccurate.

Here is an excellent video on all possibilities, plus a most recent photo of one of the craft that is sure to raise eyebrows and concerns that it still might be of off world origin. This story has such an underlying creepiness to it.

Frosty, the videos you shared are very interesting! I had no idea this was happening. A few years ago, a friend of mine saw the famous black triangle passing through the sky of our city, but without the red light in the center, just the three white lights. I always thought it was a military aircraft, although it started to be seen since 1920.

I've been seeing UFOs since I was a little girl. A few years ago, I saw a strange drone too. I was never able to figure out if it was of ET or human origin. The strangest thing about the sighting wasn't the sighting itself, but the fact that the next day I saw it again, and it behaved in the same way. What a super synchronicity! Just being there to witness it again. I saw it with my mother, but she strangely doesn't remember it.

I was on the balcony of my department during the night and saw a red sphere above a building, very bright and quite big, it was static. Suddenly it makes a very fast movement forming a very big inverted triangle just in second, the movement was very wide and precise, then it returns to the original position. Perform this same movement for the second time and return to the original position again, it was exactly the same as before. Then it makes a movement of 30 degrees, rises into the sky and disappears among the clouds in a straight line upwards.
The next day the same sphere appears again, but in another position in the sky. It does the quick inverted and wide triangle twice, exactly the same as the day before, and then disappeared into the distance. The second time I saw it with my mother.

My father also saw UFOs. When he was a kid, he saw an huge craft, shaped like a cigar, at a very low altitude! maybe 20 meters and it was the size of a house. It had no openings, but a red light emanated from its interior, which faded away towards the edges where it seemed more transparent. It didn't make any noise, but there was like a vacuum (very typical of UFO sightings) That was in 1964, maybe, in a small town. It was never reported, and he saw it with his father, who never remembered the event, as if his memory had been erased, only he was able to remember it. The only thing he told me that happened is that the craft continued on its course and he went to hide under the bed lol. That was an experience that marked his life forever. If that was human, really these secret corporations have been operating these technologies for quite some time. Now I don't know what to think!

I really enjoyed all of Dr. Greer's movies, I think I've seen them all. I think it's impossible to know now if the technology comes from humans or not, I suppose we have to trust our intuition, if there's any telepathic communication involved and that kind of thing.

Wow Lightbeam, that sounds like so much fun! And the parks during this time must be lovely, with all the Christmas decorations. I love hearing about your Disney trips, I also consider myself a fun-loving person. I'm from South America and I only went once in 1998, Animal Kingdom was still under renovation, but I have the best memories of that trip. It was enchanting and my parents took me to celebrate my 8th birthday, where Mickey Mouse gave me a small cupcake with a candle at the restaurant LoL. I see that now all the parks are very changed and modernized, it must be great, especially the Star Wars stuff with the simulations, etc. 

I also love Disney movies, lately there have been many interesting Easter eggs. Have you seen the movie Soul? If not, I recommend it, the Retrievers appear! And I remembered you guys, its funny I think it also has a nice message.

Thanks Lightbeam for thinking of us on your trip, when I travel alone, I also feel like I want to share that wonderful energy I'm feeling globally. I always say I don't want to keep all the glory to myself, I feel the need to share my happiness.
Maybe the blonde woman was me, by chance did she have tattoos? lol.

Interesting about the app, I think they definitely test us many times. I've found myself in situations where unfortunately I wasn't able to control my anger towards certain individuals and instantly I saw bad things start happening to them. I don't know if it was just coincidence or not, but I felt something terrible, it scared me. Luckily that was years ago.
I think that those of us who are starting to develop our psychic abilities, so to speak, have a great responsibility... As Spider-Man says, "With great power comes great responsibility" lol. We have to take care of our ego and our thoughts, be very meticulous. Every day I ask God to guide me on my path and my Higher Self to enlighten me to see with the eyes of Truth. And I know I am Love, because I've experienced it, not being Tak feeling love, Tak doesn't exist, I am pure Love, without ego. Freedom itself... We are Light.

Congratulations on passing the test! And thanks for the trip to Disneyland, I've been having very fun dreams for weeks! During today's nap I had a dream where I saw a show of jugglers and hoops with fire, it was impressive, with the most beautiful sunset.

Hi Traveler, that's fantastic!
It's good to meditate without the audio sometimes. In my case, it's been quite complicated to enter a deep meditation state without them... I've thought about paying for the Hemi Sync Flow subscription. It was much easier to do when I lived near the beach, since there was huge and solitary beaches with no people, just nature around... It was easy to connect with everything there, many times I felt like I was in a dream with my eyes open. In the city, I feel like I need extra help, the vital and powerful energy of nature is not present. But this can also be taken as a challenge.

That mat of yours looks magical! And I think that the fact that you meditate on it and not on your bed makes your body prepare mentally for the occasion, as Lumaza mentioned here once, having a special place and under specific conditions, the mind already predisposes itself to reach certain states of consciousness. And the fact that the mat is textured probably helps to concentrate even more.

That astral vision you described is quite curious, and I wonder what's really happening. Since, like you, while I meditate or concentrate with my eyes closed, sometimes instead of entering hypnagogia, I start seeing through my closed eyelids, the ceiling above me with the fan or lamp... For example. I also often see the curtains in the room, which are white semi-transparent fabric and the sunlight draws shapes on it, which I see. And when I remove my sleep mask, I see the curtain with the same shapes I had seen through my closed eyelids, in a kind of ethereal vision.
The thing is that I was lying on my back and to see it, I would have had to turn my physical head, and I wasn't. I always wonder what that is. In your case, did you feel like you were in the living room with your whole body looking at the office door, or was it more like a remote vision, so to speak? I still don't understand how remote viewing works, is it that one simply becomes a random perspective in the surrounding space, seeing from any angle? Without the need for an energy body acting as the observer.

Whatever it is, it's great! Good experiences, Traveler

We both had OBEs this weekend, cool! I liked your journey, Tides.
Sometimes it is not enough for me to count from 100 to 1 just once, in general it is 2 to 4 times. I'm glad it worked! I am using this method often.

I love how playful and light you like to keep things. 

It's interesting what you say about a test and a simulation. Sometimes I think what we experience in the astral, even if it seems like our actual bedroom, is more along the lines of a mental construct. And I think it's possible we are entered into these constructs for a higher purpose. Like being given an opportunity to understand which it self is a type of evolution. 

Thank you for sharing Tak.

Thank you so much, Tides, for your feedback! I've been trying for over a year to have etheric experiences, and it's more complicated than it seems. The fact that I feel like I'm separating from my body and rolling to one side doesn't mean that I'm actually entering the etheric plane. I used to think that it did, but it doesn't.
When I do manage to go out of my body, I see my room fluctuating, or very similar to how it is in reality, but my body isn't in the bed and the sheets are rumpled, as if it had gotten up by itself. I think that many of these experiences are a mental construction of what we expect to see when we leave our physical bodies (our bedroom). But that doesn't mean that it's always that way, and we'll eventually enter the etheric plane.

As you described, I've read that these simulations are like a kind of mental preparation created by our instructors to get us used to OBEs.
The time I actually saw my physical body lying in bed over ten years ago through the etheric plane was one of the most shocking experiences of my life. I didn't think I was dead, because I could hear my body breathing... But I started crying next to it and was suffering a lot internally, maybe it reminded me of death. I apologized to my body for neglecting it in the past and promised to change, I felt guilty. I felt like this human organism makes an incredible effort for the spirit to learn its lessons, and I felt a lot of respect and gratitude for it, we're a great team! it was impressive. I know you also experienced something similar.
I suppose that subconsciously, I'm now trying to protect myself from an experience like that, because of how traumatic it can be. But I keep detaching myself from my body in the traditional way out of habit and because it seems fun.

Definitely, it seems like I'm ten years old again! I'm very playful, fun, and happy, I love running through forests and beaches, flying, and making new friends in my lucid dreams. I also sing and dance a lot, lol. It's not bad, but it gets complicated when I need to focus on doing serious work.
Since that time I crossed that kind of granulated membrane with my guiding force, I haven't been able to replicate the experience because I forget and get distracted. I really felt like beyond that membrane were the collective consensus. I also miss resting in the white Light, that place of unconditional love and absolute regeneration... I had proposed to reach all that, but lately, I've only been playing. I suppose what my instructors are trying to show me is that it's not always time to play, and I need to get back to work.

In this physical life, I'm also going through many lessons, especially about fear. My projects and dreams are being affected and delayed by this, and it's hard for me to leave my comfort zone. I need to recover my adventurous spirit, which used to grab a backpack and go spend three days alone in the mountains without thinking twice. Now it seems like I'm not that same person. I need to recover my confidence in myself and know that I can achieve what I set out to do in this life if I have faith in myself.

In other threads, all you have been talking a lot about overcoming fear with love, I just want to say that I really like all the reflections, they have been very helpful for my current experiences, both physical and astral, so thank you.
My non-physical instructors also taught me to go through fear with love. These fear tests can be quite impressive, and I suppose that's why I sometimes want to escape. Also, like you, I've been grabbed by the neck and lifted into the air with incredible force, or they've tried to rape me in those orgies where the participants seemed more like monsters than humans, with multiple heads, arms, or bodies half-formed, which made me remember some of Monroe's descriptions. When I tried to push the shadows away, I went through them and felt a sensation of fire or like I was being bitten by thousands of small animals, also knives... All can be very bizarre there! lol The only way I was able to get out of all that was through love, sending love to those creatures, who would fall asleep or seem to lose interest and finally leave.
The problem is that I forget about the great power of love and let myself be impressed by appearances. I suppose what my instructors are trying to remind me is the incredible power that's within me (and within all of us) and to use it. Because if I'm afraid and feel weak, I won't be able to move forward, I'll only do it through Love. I hope I remember it next time!

Using some of the tips from the Doorway thread, I was able to achieve a successful phase.
To enter the hypnagogic state, I start counting backwards from 100 to 1, but at the same time visualizing each number, which I decide to imagine for some reason on a black background with the number made of vibrant turquoise energy. As I decrease the numbers, I intend to feel more and more relaxed and sleepy. During the countdown, I see how different hypnagogic images are superimposed on each other, until I finally become part of a scene.
The counting took me to a scenario where I was counting and separating different utensils to put on a table, since I was going to be the hostess of a big party. About a hundred guests were coming and there was a lot to prepare. In the end, I got tired of counting because there were too many utensils and I decided it would be a buffet, each one would grab their own plate and utensils from a central table lol.

I remembered that to incorporate myself into the scene, I had to generate movement, so I decided to use the roller coaster method. The scene changes and I move through an invisible one, since I couldn't see the tracks or my body. It was just my consciousness in motion. In the background, I saw a blue sky with clouds. I made curved, concave and convex movements and along the way, there were symbols, similar to those of the zodiac signs or runes. As I go further, they disappeared, as if I was absorbing them, like when in video games you take prizes as you advance, which made me laugh a lot. In this case, I thought that every time I absorbed a new symbol, I awakened certain dormant knowledge within me in a subconscious way. I had a lot of fun! And I also had the feeling that the sea was below, but I was never able to see it.

I end up back in my physical body again because I kept waking up all the time, either because of any tiny sound (even though I had my earplugs on) or just because. So, I took advantage of that state to roll out of my body to one side. I fall next to my bed, but I don't see anything, everything is black. However, I manage to stand up and put the strong intention of seeing my physical body lying in bed and having an ethereal experience. Suddenly, I was able to see my feet and I'm surprised, but I'm not scared. I thought I shouldn't touch my body for fear of waking up, but I needed to see what would happen. I want to grab my feet, but when I do, I pass through them and also the bed. Immediately, I return to my body and I realize that there was no coincidence with reality, since I was wearing different clothes and also saw my body in a different position than it was in physical reality, everything was a created hologram/simulation, not an ethereal experience. I come out of my body again and roll, and I fall on the other side of the bed this time.

I head towards the window and exit, but I hold on very tightly to the edges before jumping. I still can't see, but now everything is a flat gray, not black. Although I move three-dimensionally, I feel like what I visualize has no depth, it's like I have a blindfold on. At one point, I tried to open my eyes with my fingers out of desperation and remembered that one is no longer seeing with their physical eyes, but with the mind's eye, and therefore it works differently. So, I made an effort to think of something and visualize it, as I do in hypnagogia, but nothing happened. William B.'s "Clarity Now!" never worked for me either. Anyway, I exit through the window and feel like I'm floating. I think I saw some buildings for a moment, and then they vanished. I already felt like I had gone quite far, I was floating in the air and hearing some city noises. I remembered that I had to ask for help to see, and I asked my NP Helpers, "Help me see! Please." I said. Immediately, I start to see some beautiful, very green and leafy trees, I give thanks.

I see the city differently now, in a colonial style, there are huge statues embedded in the windows and doors of the buildings. Some are angels and others are gargoyles, and I thought that the people who lived there considered them their protectors. I also perceived some shields, like those used by important families in the past. It was dark, cloudy, and everything had a mysterious atmosphere.
Suddenly, I fell into an old patio. It was surrounded by concrete walls and had a dark garden with strange plants, where I heard the noise of a machine, a lawn mower. When I went to look who was operating it, it wasn't a person, but rather a statue of a black stone bust of an old lady in the corner of the garden, and the machine was being operated by her mind. That scared me quite a bit, and I entered the house quickly. It was an old, very gloomy mansion that was my school. The furniture was like from the Middle Ages, and it was so dark inside that you could hardly see. I understood that it was the place where I learn things in the astral plane, and I didn't want to be there because it scared me, and I didn't want to go through any tests. I already saw it coming, I knew I would have to enter different rooms and face what was inside. I knew that, in reality, the school didn't look like that, but rather it was the form it took to put me through specific fear tests. I didn't want to go through them, so I decided to escape.

I see the same old lady from the bust in the garden appear through a hallway, but in person, with an old black dress, opening the huge iron doors with a Gothic arch of the entrance to bid farewell to a student who was leaving. I thought that if that lady had a bust of herself in the garden, she must be the founder of the school or something like that, maybe the principal. She spoke with the student about the class schedules and then the student left. I was like a ghost there, I felt very volatile and immaterial, without a body, just a floating energy, like mist. Nobody saw me or spoke to me. As I always forget that I can go through walls, I waited for the right moment, and just when they opened the door, I slipped through it and escaped, floating above them.
I didn't want to stay in that place at all, and nobody stopped me either. I suppose I'm still sensitive to forms and let myself be impressed by them. I know that all these tests are for my own good, and to overcome the filter that we are vulnerable and weak, and to feel that eternal and infinite power that lives in all of us and that nobody can harm us. And it is also good for unblocking many things, fears and subconscious traumas. That will restore the confidence in myself. In fact, I've been chasing away shadows lately, and it went very well, I wasn't scared. But this time I couldn't do it.

As I exit the place, I find myself in a beautiful little countryside town, surrounded by houses, with mountainous vegetation and lots of greenery. There were strange plants, like pointed ones, and the earth was reddish. I wanted to have fun and enjoy myself today, not go through tests. I found about five dogs sleeping under the shade of some trees, and I went to pet them, they were of different breeds. Out of all of them, I decided to touch a Golden Retriever, and when I put my hand on him, all the other dogs woke up and ran away scared of me, except for the dog I touched, he kept sleeping very calmly. I didn't want to scare the dogs, but that's what happened.

Suddenly, I see a hamburger appear in front of me. I knew it was a test of gluttony, since I was also very hungry in the physical world because I usually have a light dinner and in the morning when I wake up to practice, my stomach is empty, I only drink some water.
Lately, I've been having many tests of this kind in my LD simulations, suddenly appearing inside restaurants where I can eat all I want for free and the waiters serve me like I'm a queen lol. The truth is that I've had a strict and healthy diet for three years because I have chronic gastritis, and sometimes I've used these experiences to stuff myself with food. I don't like doing that, but it seems that one wants to satisfy their unfulfilled desires. I never eat junk food, and I felt like someone wanted to see if I would use the astral plane to satisfy those desires, like I did on other occasions, through this hamburger that appeared.
But I didn't eat it, and since I had escaped from school (as I usually do), at least I wanted to pass this test. I preferred to give it to the dog, who woke up to eat. When I look, there were many more hamburgers, and I also gave them to him. The other dogs that were running around the field came quickly and enjoyed the food too.

I wake up, but immediately fall asleep again and start lucid dreaming. I'm running along a route now, to my left there are precarious wooden houses, and to my right a cliff with vegetation. I think I can see some mountains in the background. I feel like I've been there before, in another dream. I start running down the street at full speed, and a school bus passes by my side. I try to catch up to it while running alongside it, but it's faster than me and leaves me behind. Something that caught my attention was seeing my own shadow on the asphalt as I moved, it seemed like an incredible detail to me.
I receive a message in my mind that I'm like the Sunflower, I suppose it's because I'm always searching for the Source/Sun and the light in my heart. I'm surprised by the message and it makes me happy. I keep running along the route and passing between the cars, I had super speed. Suddenly, along that route, I arrive at a valley of enormous sunflowers, and I see mountains around me, and there's a lot of vegetation going up to the top of the peak. Everything looks incredible, and I feel really good, I sing and dance while running among the sunflowers in the field. I'm back

So my conclusion is: the Divine can be accesses in many different ways and locals, however the common denominator is always unconditional love, comfort, peace and a sincere feeling of such a high form of acceptance that it promotes a oneness state. It is truly a state of bliss, that you would rather not leave.

Thanks FrostyTraveler for your comments, I love what you have experienced!

First of all, I want to apologize because perhaps I made a description that could lead to misunderstanding. "As I understand it, the Divine is experienced beyond the astral, in the higher realms."
With this I simply meant that the Divine realm is found in the most subtle planes of consciousness, but not that they cannot be experienced in any other way and that it is something unattainable. I think that as you said before, this realm can even be accessed with our eyes open here on Earth, or in any way (AP, meditation, trance state, etc.) if our consciousness and our heart have been focused on the center of our True Self, with Love being the basis of everything.
I like the example Lighbeam always gives of layers. Since I literally feel that going deep is like removing layers of an onion, until we reach the Core, where we are in our purest state.

Hi StarDust, welcome!
I think you've already received excellent advice, and I'm just here adding my two cents.
Your search for the Divine and God Union, as mentioned, is one of the ultimate spiritual goals we aspire to as spiritual beings and the reason we're here. This indicates, as some mystics say, being on the ascending arc of evolution, the path back Home. In contrast, younger souls desire to immerse themselves in the depths of matter.
This planet has diverse states of human evolution coexisting simultaneously, making our reality so diverse.

I agree that the path of astral projection isn't directly to God unless one intends to use this practice as a tool for that. One can have astral experiences for selfish purposes if desired.
Astral projection can be a path to God, but with effort and passing tests first. I share your goal of finding the Divine through astral projection. However, this plane is called the "plane of desires," and you'll face some trials like lust, fear, gluttony, greed, etc. One cannot enter higher realms harboring low human desires and instincts, which must be understood and controlled.
I don't consider myself someone who succumbs to material temptations; still, in the astral plane, I sometimes fall prey to my basest instincts, forgetting my ultimate Divine purpose – finding my True Self. I wonder why, since I'm not like that in the physical life. That's why the path to the Divine through astral projection has its challenges.

Therefore, it's essential to practice the Universe's fundamental principles daily, so when projecting, one can access higher planes without distractions.
The same thing happens to the deceased, who cannot ascend until they 'purify' themselves of all their earthly desires. How many people pass away and still try to indulge in drugs, sex, acquire objects, etc., and cannot move towards the Light? I feel like I'm trying to do the same thing while still incarnated.
In a way, we can say that we're shortening that frustrating period after death, so that when the day comes, we can find the divine light and return Home more quickly.
I'm not saying that enjoying material things is bad or contrary to spirituality, as many rigid doctrines claim. No, please. I think the healthiest approach is finding balance between both.
The problem arises when there's no balance, and one forgets their purpose, succumbing to material desires repeatedly, including in the astral realm. Material pleasures enrich life and make it more enjoyable, but everything in moderation.

When you have astral experiences and find the Divine, you'll have no doubts because it'll be a direct experience. I believe we doubt what we think, but not what we experience. It's like saying I'm hungry and doubting if I'm really hungry or just imagining it. Through direct experience, doubts vanish.
Moreover, in those altered states, the mind is free from human conditioning, allowing observation from a superior perspective. No doubts remain about the experience's authenticity, feeling more real than anything experienced on Earth, making this life seem like a distant dream.
Trust your intuition; the heart doesn't lie.

Author William Buhlman discusses finding one's true Self through astral projection, emphasizing this as the ultimate goal in non-physical exploration. His book, "Higher Self Now!", is on my soon-to-read list.
According to him, once in the astral realm, one must demand to experience their True Self or Higher Self, and... bam! everything will be revealed! I wonder if it's as easy as it sounds. But many have achieved this, including the author himself over the years, and I trust his words.
I've never tried this because, as I said, I'm still in the testing phase (and falling) and forgeting my divine purpose, despite intensely seeking it on Earth – a contradiction. But we're getting to know ourselves without judgment, loving unconditionally.

As I understand it, the Divine is experienced beyond the astral, in the higher realms.

My humble advice: don't seek God in any being or image; look within. God lives within you. I can't comment on the Being appearing in your dreams, as it might be a Loving Guide or aspect of your Higher Self.
However, no being should claim "I am God" since God is a direct experience with the Divine, Unity, and beyond ego and individuality. It's a transcendent experience.

As everyone mentioned, your search is truly noble, and I congratulate you on your path. It's great to investigate and read; books provide essential pieces in our quest.
Thanks for sharing, and please keep us updated!
Hugs

Hi Tak... You recently experienced 14 and 33.

I was reminded of your dream here. I believe this dream was to show you that you are being guided in this life by a loving intelligence. Considering your own experiences, don't you feel you are being guided? And after what you shared with me... It's these mind blowing confirmations that really make us say... Wow what is reality??? For me... Your 14141433 It's proof of the presence in your dream. My personal belief at this time? It's one of the unseen personalities guiding you towards what some call paradise. I think you have made some decision on a soul level that might mean opening up to or being prepared for another reality. It's for you to discover... But I think you are one of many who have opened the connection for this style of communication/guidance.

Really interesting that there were three 14's followed by 33
I just read this about the color by the way...
I hope you find my thoughts here helpful and take with a grain of salt... Feel free to toss aside whatever does not resonate with you.

Thank you so much, Tides, for remembering my lucid dream and connecting all this information with my most recent experience. I appreciate it! Thanks for helping me keep piecing things together and gaining a better understanding of this mystery-filled reality. This is all like a big puzzle for me... That lucid dream was significant because I felt this energy trusted me and gave me an answer I'd been seeking for a long time. I definitely feel guided by a loving, living presence independent of me, yet also part of me.

As we've mentioned, owr existence goes beyond the ego, so I liked when you said I might be experiencing this existence as Tak and simultaneously as something else. After all, we know our Higher Self has multiple extensions across different dimensions and evolutionary stages.
Many of you have seen me mention the Guiding Force... a mysterious force that takes hold of me during experiences and transports me to various scenarios. An independent force with its own personality and intelligence, communicating through codes, not human language, yet directly linked to my consciousness.

I'd like to share a Matrix glitch I experienced this weekend related to the numbers 14/33. I posted it on the TGC forum, but I'll share it here too.

I'm here today to share a recent experience with the number 14, which just took an unexpected turn a few minutes ago, becoming another Matrix glitch that demonstrates the power of this living force beyond space and time, transcending all physical laws.
I have many glitches in the Matrix, including friends' and family members', which show me this physical reality isn't as solid and stable as it seems. Today, I share this little synchronicity with the number 14 and how this intelligence shapes reality and communicates with us, as Tides says.
I sell products online and hadn't sold a particular one in a year and a half. I manifested strength in selling it. The next day, someone buys it (this has happened before), and the most amazing thing was that the buyer's phone number was 14141433... I was atonished...and I thought it was a joke, but no, it was true! I stared at the screen for a long time, wondering if I was seeing correctly, and even told my mom and showed her that.

Days passed, and we talk a lot about this number because it caught our attention. But, minutes ago, I received a notification from the sales platform about a new message, but it was from two days ago and appeared as if sent now. When I checked, it was the client's message from two days ago sending me her number... BUT THE NUMBER CHANGED to 34343433 (I'm 34 years old). How?! The number changed... as if 14141433 never existed (It was the old message, not a new one.)
I checked my phone, and the contact I added myself had changed to 34343433 also! I myself remember writing the other number with the 14, surprised at the same time when I was writing it, meaning that I was very aware when doing so. Reality changed and fluctuated. It's as if I jumped to a parallel reality where 14141433 never existed, and now it's 34343433.

Another example was that in front of my house, there's a building that had a beautiful arched window for 30 years. I traveled for four years, and when I returned to my country, the window was square, so I was sad because I liked the other one more and I thought they had modified it for some reason.. But months later... THE WINDOW RETURNED TO ITS ARCHED SHAPE as it always was. Reality changing again...
I'm sorry I didn't take photos of all this, but because of what happened to me with the contact number, which I wrote in my address book myself and it still changed, it means that the photos would have changed too and I wouldn't have proof. In fact, a friend told me a similar story, where two friends of her saw nature elementals, took photos of them, saw the photos and there they were. Days later they wanted to saw them again, and they were gone, the pictures were empty. I wonder how all this energy also affects technology, I know it may sound a little crazy, but we already know what happens.

Dolores Cannon wrote in her books that we're constantly shifting between realities, demonstrating manifestation power and our ability to mold or shift to different reality forms. I feel that a living, intelligent force surrounds us also.
The line between consciousness and matter is very thin, we're not alone, and there's permanent communication with the Superior.

That's why this number change doesn't surprise or scare me; it's just another example of this fluctuating reality in this beautiful existence  .

I just wanted to say that I think the topic of healthy food is very important, especially our most essential element, water. I haven't had time to watch the video yet, but I appreciate what you've shared here, as it's prompted me to research deeper on this today.

In my country, our government-run water utility company releases an annual report detailing the components in our water supply. If they're not misleading us, it meets all safety parameters except for arsenic, which is slightly elevated at 50 mc/l when it should be no more than 10 mc/l. Although this harmful component is not distributed equally and depends on the areas, where it's more concentrated instead of others.
Where I live, they claim tap water is safe, and arsenic levels are low, but I am not sure, I don't know whether to belive. Therefore, I'll investigate water filters and consider sending a sample for analysis. I just boil the tap water, the doctors here say it's safe, but I don't know if it's true.

One of my bigest life dreams is to live outside the city, cultivate my own organic garden, and lead an alternative, eco-friendly, healthy, and more human lifestyle connected to nature. Although I reside in a big city, I strive to practice my principles daily through recycling and living healthily.
I loved Lightbeam's example of the grandfather eating bacon and smoking... here the people tell the same stories. I'd add that the grandpa also enjoys whiskey, lol. Life is uncertain. Just as we have the grandfather living to 100 with that lifestyle, I've heard stories of health-conscious individuals who exercise, eat well, meditate, and still pass away young under mysterious circumstances. So, everything remains uncertain. As I have read it has more to do with what was established by our Higher Self and our mission here. But well, I'll do my best.

This information did not seem alarmist to me at all, on the contrary, I thank you because today I learned new things and it made me more aware.

Hi FrostyTraveler, I thoroughly enjoyed your post! First, congratulations on the incredible experiences you're having, and thank you for sharing them with us. I genuinely appreciate every experience shared by each member here.

Mostly, I experience geometric shapes during the hypnagogic state; they're never static, always moving and transforming. I've described this event multiple times in my Journal. However, I never understood what it meant or why energy translates into these forms, although it captivates me entirely.
I see kaleidoscopic or abstract patterns, too complex to describe. It's an extraordinarily beautiful world where I feel happy. Sometimes, I see shapes emitting a kaleidoscope pattern, like the lotus flower opening and multiplying its petals uniformly. Colors are varied, but bright and fluorescent.

Occasionally, I feel I'm viewing the molecular world. In my case, there are no energy waves or vibrations; I'm simply a point of consciousness witnessing the wonderful event. Generally, I lose awareness, only to regain it within a lucid dream. Or, as a point of consciousness, I know I can 'detach from my body' and sense the ethereal movement of the astral body going away from the physical.
I'm still a beginner.

Although I've never had a Divine experience through these visions, I undoubtedly feel closer to my True Self. I sense the creative energy force expressing itself in all its splendor. I discovered I can manipulate these shapes slightly and enjoy playing with them. Rarely, I have heard any type of frequency or 'angelic choir'. When I was a little girl I sometimes saw this phenomenon of geometric shapes. And now, sometimes I experience it when I find myself listening to music or in a happy state, of well-being, without needing to be in a very deep trance, just mild, but not always. Sometimes I start to see them when I focus on my breathing exercises, as if with each exhalation more and more figures were formed, with my eyes closed.

Thank you for the links; I'll see them later, since I've never investigated the topic, as I rarely find people experiencing this as frequently as I do.
We're piecing together this puzzle, bit by bit .

What do you think it was there? Was it to the offer comfort? Was it lost? I found this story fascinating.

Hi ThirdEyeWizard, I'm glad you enjoyed the story; yours seemed even more fascinating to me! I think the dog was a great indicator, since he wouldn't have barked at a scarecrow and reacted similarly to when he sees an unknown living person.

Honestly, I have no idea why that event occurred to me. My intuition tells me it could be an advanced astral projector in the middle of an adventure. I often joke that it could be myself in the future or even me after this life, visiting a scene from my past (since consciousness exists simultaneously free of space-time).
For some reason, I perceived that energy as feminine, and its imprint was human, not alien. I also thought it might have been a bit lost or disturbed due to its constant movement entering and exiting the kitchen, as if unsure what to do until finding a solution.

I suppose some entities materialize partially, allowing collective visibility, while others are only perceived through our own non-physical senses. In this case, the being clearly lowered its energy vehicle's vibrational frequency, allowing my friend and I to perceive it simultaneously.
I only know everything happens for a reason, and perhaps sparking curiosity in my friend and I was the purpose of its visit. Perhaps feeling peace is because the being harmonized the environment, as you say. Some things may remain shrouded in mystery, at least during this lifetime.

I would love to see an angelL Beings of pure love. It's what my heart yearns to be in the presence of.

If you wish to see Angels, ask to see your own Guides; they may not be of that level, but you'll experience the purest unconditional love ever felt on Earth. Be cautious, as it can be overwhelming! But it will be unforgettable, filling your eyes with tears each time you recall it, at least that's how it was for me.

One of my greatest desires is to see nature's elementals in the forest. I've had many wonderful experiences in nature; once, I felt all the trees spoke to me, warning of danger and death. That's because I discovered later loggers destroying them, and the entire forest was trembling. The trees cordially warned me to leave.
However, I've never seen the forest's subtle energies. My dream is that they'll present themselves someday 

Hello ThirdEyeWizard   
The being we perceived was when I was 18 years old, it was from this physical plane. My friend and I were dining with my family at home, seated in a perspective where only we could see it. Each of us saw it independently, without saying a word to anyone, and corroborated the experience later in my room.

Suddenly, I saw an entity constantly entering and exiting the kitchen, appearing as a formless, elongated, and semi-transparent mass of energy composed of thousands of particles in motion, giving the sensation of 'TV static' - you know, when old TVs had no signal and displayed those moving white and black dots. In some way, the density of the being manifested itself in that manner.
The being entered the kitchen, stayed for a few seconds, then exited and stayed at the door for another few seconds, repeating this pattern for several minutes, until finally was gone.
I never thought of sharing this with my friend or anyone, as I've always been reserved about such things, even when my friend was experiencing many 'paranormal' things at that time.

However, in my room, my friend decided to share what she saw during dinner with me, and I didn't say a word until she described in detail everything she perceived, and it was exactly what I saw. According to her, it was a deceased person, but I am not sure.
I find it striking that this being looks exactly like how I perceive myself in the astral plane (although perhaps we are all very similar) - a formless, elongated being composed of thousands of particles in motion, like millions of stars or dots of light. Viewing it from the astral plane, I perceive my body and the microdots of an immaculate, brilliant white light, but from the physical plane, this being appeared more dense and transparent, as fog with static.

There was no communication with this being, but somehow I felt no fear when I saw it; I felt peace and didn't feel the need to alarm anyone or disturb the being. I sense it was benevolent. I had already experienced astral travel and seen similar beings and myself, so I understood the phenomenon at that moment.

This isn't the first time I've had such perceptions, but the others have been while I was alone, both physically and astrally.
I'm also deeply grateful to have witnessed these manifestations. I believe everything happens for a reason, and perhaps this is meant to encourage us to open up to the unknown and explore reality beyond the veil  .

Welcome! I really liked what you shared, it's a fascinating story. I have also witnessed the presence of etheric beings, with a friend we were able to see one together.
This physical plane is full of incredible manifestations, you just have to be open-minded to see and interpret them.
This experience has been a kind of initiation, so good for you!
Thanks for sharing and feel free to do so.
