Thanks guys.

apparently orientation is tomorrow night about 3 realms up from the Astral plane..

I hope that's on my Astral Positioning Satellite. Maybe we can ride together and split the fusion bill?

Just to be clear, I believe that Christianity's message is very beautiful and can provide some with a very fulfilling life. Sadly, I was overexposed to a lot of the negativity of it and was let down when I needed it most. I now mainly view this as a failure in me and not Christianity but what is done is done.

This is awesome. You always have good advice and your experiences are second to none. I know this is not a competition by any means and I'm certainly not trying to imply, that but your insights are always spot on. Just stay grounded and don't let it go to your heads.

Little Bibble, Please do not demean the importance of your contributions. If someone jumps on the beliefs of a mod as if they write the gospel, then like Xanth said, that is their loss. But it really isn't practical that we should always state that something is our opinion. Some people are on phones and such and any extra typing can be a chore.

The way I see it is if you believe something will be a factor, then it will be. I personally don't place a lot of thoughts in vibrations or such so what I eat doesn't play a role in my experiences in any way that I can tell.

But once we have been exposed to ideas, there really isn't any way to escape their influences other than to test them and disregard what doesn't personally fit. That's easier said then done, however.

Don't feel bad. I get upset all the time during OOBE. They're not all about puppies and sunshine so it's only natural that your emotions will vary. Besides, your non physical space is still your space and the ghost girl was violating it. Or maybe you were violating her space but it's all about perspective. And yes, we are supposed to learn from all of our experiences both the non physical and the physical. Sometimes we are purposely put into situations that will anger us.

Or does it simply mean  that i'm not as nice as I'd like to think

From what I have seen about myself personally, you have no idea how mean and dirty we have all been. This of course, depends on what you wish to believe about past lives and what not.

There's really nothing anyone can tell you that will make you feel better. You have to decide for yourself if believing in Jesus will save you or not. I for one see it as rather silly now after years of having the same fears you do.

We have been over exposed to so many negative ideas that it's hard not to think about them. When they resonate with our fears, they can overwhelm us. If eternal damnation and spirit possession makes sense to you then you have to decide a course of living that will help you.

This fear based thinking no longer has any power over me but I had to decide that I could live with the consequences of being wrong. After all, what choice do I really have?

Welcome to the Pulse.

My introduction into all this was also spontaneous and to say that it scared me is an understatement. But I absolutely had to know what was happening. 13 years later, I still have no idea what is happening but I have conquered a great many of my fears.

Hopefully you will stick around and conquer some of yours. I don't think it is possible to be free of all fear but my only goal is to not let mine stop me from doing what I want, within reason of course.

Why Industrial Education is bad for environment has already been discussed in this thread.

That is an understatement if ever there was one. However, one ma's opinion has never equated to fact in any case.

Ever heard of spiritual education???.....Ever heard of methods and techniques for making the mind peaceful???

No I haven't heard of it but it sounds interesting. Can I buy some at Wal-Mart or the Gap?

Of course you would not know about it.....You only know reason, discussion, debate, argument, pleasure and entertainment.

I am struggling to understand how being reasonable and having the ability to discuss and debate issues with others is somehow negative. Oh wait, I apologize. Half of your ramblings are about keeping people ignorant so that you won't have to argue your delusions with intelligent people.

Since some people have to be formally educated so that they can research all the woes of the Earth and form a plan to reverse this critical point of no return, who gets to decide who receives the education? You, perhaps?

Biodiversity and Ecosystems are on the verge of collapse and there are people who are just not bothered.

Just because I am critical of your overly zealous agenda and conclusions does not mean that I don't care about some of your concerns. There are other beneficial practices that one can participate in besides just make disturbing posts all over the internet.

I can appreciate your passion for saving the Earth's environment and still be at odds with your tactics without being some sort of environmental wreck.

This is about the best advice you'll ever get in regards to projection techniques.
Great advice IAB.

Thank you but the credit belongs to the Pulse.

Sorry, I do not but I am very interested in some suggestions as well. I have a very young cousin who has barely started to talk a few months ago. Twice now, in my home, she will be playing and having fun and she will suddenly stop and stare at something. She points and says "Ghost, bad man. Make go away.Go away."

Her mom says that she has done this in a few other homes as well and always says it at the same particular homes each time she goes there. Her mom also said that the girl has never seen any shows about ghosts and doesn't really remember what she watches on tv anyways so this really upsets the mother.

I'll admit that it is a tad unnerving at the time but I don't give it much thought. I am completely open to believing that she is really seeing something but I have never had any problems and don't worry about it. Even in my OOBE that are in the RTZ in my home, I have never encountered any beings or spirits here. It's up to her parents but I would personally encourage this gift in a child if it was up to me.

Does anyone think that is a bad idea? I do not see myself being in a position anytime soon in which this will be a matter that I have a say in but one never knows.

Lately, I have been abiding by the "physical laws" and in doing so have found that my experiences seem to be more adventurous and challenging at the same time.

I know that I can just change the scenario more to my liking with a thought, but when I do, I find that I have bypassed whatever lesson was meant for me to see.

One thing I can say, is that when it is important for me to fly or break some other rule of physics, I do so almost instinctively. But it is always crucial in the moment and is really one of the few ways that I can accomplish the goal. In other words, if I can get something done just by walking and I'm not in immediate "danger", flying seems like an abuse almost.

Szaxx always has to remind me to use other gifts as well, such as mind reading and blocking off my own thoughts from others. If it's just a relaxed experience, I have no problem remembering to do some of these things. It's a different story, however, when the heat is turned up.

I thought of one coming up thats not been rambled on.

I saw where you mentioned that and I am intrigued. Perhaps you could send me a private message and tell me of the event? Only

I know this doesn't qualify me to become a member of the X-Men but I have developed a super power of my own. Who knows? Maybe one day the X-Men might need my unique power.

For at least two years now, if I think about a movie that I want to watch, it will be on tv within two to three days. This has happened many hundreds of times and has surpassed the odds of it being coincidence. I'm talking about some pretty obscure movies as well and many of them aren't even aired for years at a time. At least not as far as I know.

The only catch is that at the time that I am thinking about wanting to watch something in particular, I can't acknowledge my super power. If I do and I just assume that it will be aired in a couple of days as usual, it won't happen at all or I will catch the very tail end of it. That actually acts like a confirmation of sorts on it's own.

I know many of you are now shaking your heads in disbelief and may even be questioning your current understanding of the world, but rest assured that I do not abuse this gift and will never use it to commit harm .

Unfortunately, I do not know how to control this power nor do I know how to harness it for other gifts.

[NEVER]

I sometimes wonder if this guy is on the verge of cracking. These ramblings are eerily similar to Ted Kazinsky's magnum opus. He never addresses any comments or questions and just rewrites the same stuff with a recent catastrophe addressed as proof of something.

Anybody that preaches ignorance and keeping the masses uneducated always has a sinister goal in mind and it is NEVER for the good of the people.

Not to mention, Hitler, Pol-Pot, and Stalin all had the same doctrine to keeping the people ignorant.

This forum has some of the most free-thinking minds that I have ever had the privilege to talk to and telling us that ignorance is the way to a better world is about as worthless as lipstick on a pig. You are akin to a troll without a clue.

There's a key point that many of us mention but is ignored or looked past and it is that everyone should do what feels natural or easy even if it goes against some common advice. I say this because if something is perceived to be a problem then it is definitely going to hinder your progress even if it may seem counter productive. For instance, many people recommend trying to ignore an itch as much as possible. I always scratch an itch when it comes along and shift my body when needed because I never knew that it was considered a problem. Dwelling on an itch is far more disrupting then just scratching it and moving on.

So if you need to refocus because the blurriness is disrupting then by all means, do it. It's better to do something and get it over with then it is to spend five minutes fighting something and then giving in to it in the end anyways. That's not to say that there isn't a benefit to seeing how much you can block out and resist certain urges but patience will come as a reward anyways.

So I recommend doing whatever it is that you think will help you. No two of us are alike and our guidelines are only that. I learned to phase with very little reading or outside help so I probably do many things that most people find disrupting but I never viewed it like that so they were never a problem.

Good luck.

Flying is fun and you will get it down quickly. My problem with flying is that I always forget to do it. The more physical it feels, the more I hold myself to physical laws.

I always emphasize belief. You don't have to believe anything crazy or something that goes against your current thinking and understanding. Just believe that there really is something to all this and that you're ready to see for yourself and make up your own mind. You may have many of the same kind of experiences that I have had yet come out thinking something completely different. That doesn't make either of us right or wrong. It just means that we both still have some learning to do.

Like Lion said, learn to meditate and the rest will most surely follow. You don't have to do anything special or even view it as meditation. I never did but I know now that that is exactly what I have been doing. I just considered it clearing my mind and getting some rest. The affirmations will work so keep that up. Make up your mind that you will not allow fear to stop you. Consider whatever you think are the worst possible consequences for projecting and if you can live with that, I'd say you're ready.

There really is no magic pill that you can swallow that will make this easier for you. It takes some hard work to see how easy this already is. The hard work isn't in practicing or attempting to project. It is in just seeing what is really there. Sorry, I'm really not trying to sound vague or cryptic.

I really do love to read these types of experiences. Both because I completely understand and relate and it's nice to see someone else catch a clue. Like you, my first OOBE were spontaneous and unbelievable in some sense yet undeniably real in another. I absolutely had to have one intentionally and it did not take me very long. The biggest difference with me though, was that my first experiences were panicked filled because of my former religious beliefs.

Your mindset will change many times based on the different experiences that you personally have as well as what you read from others. One thing that won't change is the "knowing" that this life is but one blip on the radar but is precious none the less. Most of us develop a sense of well being and understanding of each other. We're far from perfect but at least I can say that I am a much better person from the experience and insight gained from astral projection or whatnot.

I almost forgot, I have never had an experience in which I saw, met, or felt, God/Creator/Source yet I feel the love that you described all the time during my experiences. It's usually after i see some rough stuff though. You can get what you put into this. If you want to just have fun and ride in space ships, you can do that. But the real ride begins when you start to explore yourself.

Good luck.

It's not enough to be aware that there are perceived differences in LDing and APing and then try to see the differences for yourself. You must believe there is a difference to see it. I'm not saying you have to be willing to make a fool out of yourself and start believing some silly stuff. Just believe that there is a difference even if it's minuscule.

If you really want to see the differences, you will not see them proven in some lab with our current understanding and technology either. Some things are just beyond that. If believing that there is an objective difference upsets you or your afraid that you will look foolish for accepting that there are some things that exist that we can't prove in science, you will have a hard time seeing the proof no matter where you look.

I'll just say it. I don't like to use the term astral but there is a NPR with beings or whatnot that exist independently of our own consciousness and we can interact with them there. I denied this all for the longest time until denying was crazier than just accepting. Thankfully, the world kept spinning.

Good luck to all.

I had my first spontaneous OOBE almost 13 years ago. I had my first intentional OOBE the same year.

That sounded like a great experience. Many people believe that children can have OOBE much easier since they aren't conditioned to disbelieve the fantastic and have active imaginations. Sadly, that's also why adults often dismiss their stories.

I saw a show where these parents had a newborn and they kept a camera on his crib. The babies four year old brother scooted a stool next to the crib and leaned over to talk to his little brother. He asked the baby, "Tell me about heaven, I'm starting to forget it." Then he just laughed and carried on as if he was having an actual conversation. It was really cool.

The worst beings that I have seen were supposedly me in a past life. It was a lesson about not judging people for the wrong that they have done because I have done plenty myself.

I'm not usually scared by places no matter how horrid they appear but if there's a tornado, I'm outta there. My worst nightmares all have tornadoes. Imagine the L.A. scene in "The Day After Tomorrow" and that's what scares the crap out of me.

You're doing fine. We all have to deliberately "refocus" or risk falling asleep before we can phase. As we get caught up in the noticing, we can easily just fall asleep so we have to deliberately snap ourselves out of it and refocus again. I believe most people call this anchoring.

Taking the time to notice the little things is one of the greatest lessons that I have learned from OOBE. In the same way that we gain our awareness in a dream by noticing something that is odd, we can do this as well in our waking life and be just as amazed.

Will wonders ever cease? I hope not.

Hey all, been here before, left and came back. I can now say I remember who I was in my last life, and am beginning to remember the previous ones. While I also am beginning to remember who I was before I became a human. How do I find out about my abilities, or what type of spiritual being I am or was?

From what you say, I think you can teach me more than I can offer you.
