Not sure but back before EIC closed I had started playing with the vibrations. I found I could pass them around my body, increase and decrease their strength and even hold 'it' in my hands. I also learned it is not wise to hold the vibrations in your head when they are strong. Talk about a headache!

So the vibrations can be manipulated and we can take that anywhere.

That's the plus side to "experimentation". You learn so much about yourself. People could talk to me about vibrations until they are blue in the face. But nothing teaches you better than experiencing it yourself. You learn how to "manipulate" that "energy" as well. That's when the real fun begins. I like to close my eyes and pass the vibrations hand to hand and foot to foot, up and down. all over the place. Robert Bruce's NEW technique is fantastic and was instrumental in teaching me how to do that.!

 Phasing is a shift in consciousness from here to there without all the bells and whistles. To do this you must learn how to "mentally disassociate" from your "physical focus" here in this reality. "Noticing" is a great way to do just that. It doesn't always end up n a "void like" experience. But many times it will.
The Stickies in this Sub-forum are loaded with many great ways to enhance and further help you in the act of knowing. Some take a "pro-active" approach using creative visualization, others are based on just noticing the blackness behind your closed eyes and awaiting the show to begin!

 Welcome back Moondreamer! (I like the name)! 

It sounds like a tactile focus may do you good. I created a thread called "The Doorway". I think you might find the last 3 or 4 pages of that thread helpful to you. I say the last 3 or 4 pages because they are more based on a "tactile" approach.

I always just generally translated as hypnogogia the sensation of a small animal walking up and down my mattress or a being pushing on the bed, or the feeling of the sheets being slowly pulled down to my feet. It mystified or terrorized me as a child, and like you I ran crying to my parents who had no conception of what I was experiencing. By age 12, I had bought Monroe's first book, applied his technique and brought on full body vibrations: earthquake, atom-smashing vibrations which scared the hell out of me. But they in no way explained the 'cats and sheets'...many years later I have experienced vibrations so subtle that they felt like a 'warmth'...

When I was young there was no translating period. There was only terror and fear. I awoke after feeling my sheets being lifted, feet/legs either rising or being touched and yes the sense that some one or thing was climbing around in the bed. I never told anyone though, besides many years later, to you guys here on this Forum. When it happened, I would pull my sheets over my head and shiver in fear until I finally fell back to sleep again. I was very young when this first stated to happen. I was so scared to go to sleep at night.

Today I still have the same thing happening. But now I am much wiser and understand what is happening. I then allow it to do it's thing and go with the flow!   The flow for some reason seems to be getting dragged out my bed by my ankles/legs down my hallway, to the dining room and out the dining room window. But I'm not kicking and screaming the whole way anymore!  

You too!!! Freak out is right!

It used to scare the "bejeezus" out of me!

I really do think the future, the next level of what we are each doing relative to exploring consciousness revolves around group experience.

I do as well. But I also don't see that we are ready for that quite yet. Perhaps one day when we don't have as many "distractions". But not now!

 Nameless, we could start any group activities that we want. The problem seems to be "staying power". As Omcasey says this "staying power" comes from "discipline", "self discipline". The problem lies in the fact with what is the "return" for said discipline? 

I have over 4 Dream journals full of entries. I used to log in them religiously when I was first new to this practice. Somewhere along the line I lost that motivation. I think it was due to the fact that LDing and APing had just become "consciously" natural to me. I did many of the things I do here in the physical. I still log those "unique" experiences. Once in awhile I go back and peruse my old Journals. But it was never my goal to write a book. I guess after awhile I lost interest in logging the same ole same ole time and time again.

I see that many of our old members here have moved on to new horizons, new challenges. They likely don't actively practice anymore because they already received what they were searching for or they just lost interest period and "life" consumed their focus again. For some reason or reasons I have already stated here, it is very difficult to maintain a strict discipline in this practice. I still do a Phase session almost everyday and do have LDs almost every night. But like I said, it had become a "normal" part of day/night. That didn't come easy though. It took a lot of mental discipline to achieve!

 Lightbeam, do you remember anything about how you piloted/flew the ship? In my experiences, I find myself in front of some kind of silvery shiny ball like device. I wave my hands over it to initially activate it the console there. But the flying/piloting seems to be done telepathically. It was a automatic impulse, like I already knew what to do.

The first time this happened in a LD, (that i can remember that is), I was surprised that I knew what to do. In that experience a small craft of some kind landed in my back yard, after it was part of a dazzling light display in the sky Some very small Beings got out of it and led me towards the ship. As I was walking towards it, I could sense myself shrinking to the size of the Beings, until we finally entered the craft. I was then led to what I could only discern as the "main deck" of the craft where a control room seemed to be. Right in the middle of the this area was the shiny metallic like device. There was some kind of chair there as well.

I love those "Intergalactic meetings". I will sometimes find myself in a bar like setting with unique Beings sitting to the left and right of me. It reminds me of a setting that can be found in a episode of Star Trek or Star Wars, basically any of those Galactic like movies. It's a great place to "observe"!  

So, I do talk about GOD, but not in excess and I choose when and where to speak of it because simply most people do not know of what am I speaking of, as my perception of GOD is different.

Outside of this Forum I can see that people may not know what you are speaking about, but here on "this" Forum, there are likely many people that do. I know I am one those for sure!   I have found that many people don't have a clue when it comes to things that we discuss here on this Forum. For the longest time I believed that many other people were "in the know". But through the years, I have found that to not be true.

Great topic Nameless!   You and Lightbeam have covered the bases so thoroughly that all that's left to be said is "I agree"!

 Missing something .... like perhaps Members here both old and new?   I thought that might just possibly be your thinking as well Nameless! It was mine!  

I remain an amazed fan,😆

I second that!  

I find that "ask and you shall receive". But and it's a big "but", it won't necessarily be on your own time or even in a way that is expected. In the end though, the answers you seek will come in some way, shape or form.

In a way, your experience Nameless, could also be seen as a "Retrieval" of sorts. It also shows the true essence of who you really are!  

I talk often about Annie Bessant's penning of the term "Invisible Helpers". Nameless you definitely one of them, not only in the NP, but this physical realm as well. This Forum is loaded with Invisible Helpers. From Adrian the owner who keeps the Forum going, to Xanth and the Moderators here that keep the site afloat, to the members here old and new that voluntarily help people understand more and share their own experiences. All of these people helping people  that they have never met before here in the physical realm. Volunteering their time in that effort. That's the definition of a Invisible Helper to me. It doesn't always have to be of a non physical nature. But often can be!  

I recognize this. The ending of my dream right before I awake is sometimes a chorus of a song.
I hear as well the lyrics as the music, often a song I didn't hear in years.

It happens to me right before I physically awaken for the day too.

The songs are definitely one's I haven't heard of for years now. But I feel that's where the message lies. Remembering back and either forgiving for what occurred in that time or just reliving something that might of passed me by. Those are all things that I think about when I awaken. I work towards finding what the purpose of the song was.

 Looking at your list T-Man, it seems that almost all of your one liners are coming from your "sub-conscious/super conscious/higher self, in one way or another. 

I seem to get music. It can be a few lyrics from a song or just the melody of a song itself. Looking at the words though and the melodies, I can see "messages" coming through them.

When I woke up I felt myself a bit stupid because my father passed away years ago, so it was quite obvious
that we were not in the physical world. But after all it was not that stupid because he didn't live anymore
when I moved so he should possibly not know my new location.

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself Erik. At the time, that "was" your reality! These experiences we have in our "Dreams" are so real because at the time they are "real" to us!

I felt really a bit stupid when I found out that the answer for me how to astral project was right before me all those years
I have lots of lucid or non-lucid dreams of my childhood house, later house, house of my neighbours, old street where I lived and a present house where I live now but doesn't look like
the house I live in (mostly brighter, more space, beautiful environment).

Right after my dream I took a test. I visualized myself sitting on the bench in my old house. Vibrations appeared, I started to sunk into a void.
I snapped back to the physical, probably because I had to go to the bathroom. It was really easy to get into this state after some sleep!

So I think I found it. Visualize a place where I lived or a present 'fantasy' house.
When I am there and nothing happens I can do something with motion as I have learned on this forum.
E.g. walk to the window, look at the street or doing some exercise.
The starting point of astral projection is for me to relocate first to another place, thats what I missed while this was so obvious!

I had and still have a energized and euforic feeling running through me, really have a feeling that something is awoken in me.
Maybe advice for other sensitive people who are thinking too complicated not to overlook the obvious signs.

This is the part of Astral projection that everyone has to work out for themselves and now you are seeing how to do just that. That's fantastic progress. Great job! 

 Dragonscrying. Is it Dragons-crying or Dragon-scrying? Just curious! 

I enjoy research of all kinds. Especially research that is based on non local/non physical states of consciousness.  I post links and news here on the Astral Pulse forums here pertaining to items of that nature as well.

I watch the Science, History, Discovery and the Travel Channel to feed my love of learning anew. I also listen to video interviews on radio shows and many youtube videos that peek my curiosity.

Here on the Astral Pulse, I try to only post links and info that are pertinent or pertain to the subject of non local/non ordinary states of consciousness. What you have been doing here lately is known as a form of Spam. Xanth and the Moderators here, past and present, have did and are still doing a remarkable job of keeping this Forum "focused" on the subject at hand.

I am posting this here because I also see the importance of keeping this Forum "focused" on the subject matter that the Forum here is based on. I frequent other Forums that have lost their way and see that it happened because they completely lost their focus on what the subject that got the Forum started in the first place was. I don't wish the Astral Pulse to become like them and right now, it is looking like that. Please refrain from these "chain postings" that you are currently doing. Once in awhile posting a interesting news item is fine. But every day posting a new one gets to be too much. Especially on a Forum that is experiencing a lull in it's action.

  I am not a Moderator. I have been a member here for years now. I love this Forum. I see it is one of the last one's on the internet period based on the subject of Astral projection that hasn't lost it's way and wish to keep it that way! Thank you! 

  Karxx Gxx, that was an excellent description of the Art/Act of "Knowing", which can also be known as "Gnosis".

Gnosis is the common Greek noun for knowledge (γνῶσις, gnōsis, f.). The term is used in various Hellenistic religions and philosophies. It is best known from Gnosticism, where it signifies a knowledge or insight into humanity's real nature as divine, leading to the deliverance of the divine spark within humanity from the constraints of earthly existence.
Gnosis is a feminine Greek noun which means "knowledge" or "awareness."
(Wikipedia)

Have tried wake back to sleep for a while now and am not having much success. I should add that this is the way I usually am permitted to experience a NPE. It seems these projections occur on someone-else's time. Last night after 2AM-2:30AM an opportunity was present and IMMEDIATELY shut down. Literally like an, "access denied" feeling. Just as I started hearing a voice and the creeping sensations associated with sleep paralysis or the feelings just before "take-off"   Am I shutting down? What is the reason for it...? Could I not be acknowledging something...? Hmm.

It used to be around the full moon opportunities would be more prevalent. Maybe I will have a chance tonight!
I have been feeling more connected lately, or like I'm back to this way of being. The non-physical reality is taking a life of communicating through the conscious experience, and I'm noticing surreal patterns or subtle intricacies creating a much larger picture.

Tides, this is why I had to "re-develop" new techniques over and over again.

I first used a candle staring technique. This involved the use of a "imprint". It worked a few times, then it went cold. So, I changed to WBTB. That worked for a number of times, then I was forced to change again. So, now it was Bedeekin's "pre-nap technique". Once again, it worked great, then my body got used to it and once again I found myself stuck.

Then I began to learn how to Phase and found that there are so many targets of focus that I would never run out of ways to do it. But, once in awhile, I find myself stalled in that too. When that happens, I revert back to method one, candle staring again. You are correct, for some reason we need to keep "re-inventing the wheel" again. It's good to have a "arsenal" of go to techniques to get you back again.

Like you said though, the "awareness" that you get from having had NP experiences in the past will spill over to this physical reality as well. That never goes away. You can't undo what's already done. This is what I call the "perks" of this practice in general. The sense of just "knowing" stays with you!

 I had to post this. I just watched a episode of "Nasa's Unexplained Files". It was on the Science Channel, one of my favs. In that episode they were exploring the Dogon Tribe and how those people knew things about the Sirius Star System that shouldn't have been known to them. The Dogon said that there was a second Star and that the Star was even more dense than the first one we knew of. Until a few years ago, we couldn't confirm or deny it, but using the Hubble telescope we found that that is indeed true. The Dogon have also said there is a 3rd Star in that system. That still hasn't been confirmed of even using today's most advance telescopes.

Here is the thing about this discussion that made my jaw completely drop. The Scientists/Researchers talking on the show, including Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute actually said that the Dogon's revelation was a result of "dumb luck". WTH? They said it was coincidence. They said that Tribes around the World have all kinds of Myths and that once in a while, they are right. Like I said "WTH"? Scientism at it's best! 

 I had a friend, (that has now passed away) who worked for Nasa years ago. When the revelation about 10 years ago was revealed by Nasa that there was indeed water on Mars, I questioned him on this discovery. I asked him when they really knew this. He said back in 1980. We, the public, were just becoming privy to it 10 years ago though. I give no credence to anything they say anymore. What we will be told about Mars in the upcoming years, they, Nasa, have known for years!

OKLAHOMA CITY —

An Oklahoma lawmaker wants the state to establish a Bigfoot hunting season.

Rep. Justin Humphrey on Wednesday introduced House Bill 1648.

Under the bill, the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission would draft rules for the season, annual dates and create any necessary hunting licenses and fees.

Humphrey says his bill would only allow trapping and that he also hopes to secure $25,000 to be offered as a bounty.

It dovetails nicely into the fact that much of his writings and diaries were confiscated by the FBI after his death, and it all adds a further layer to the mysterious life of an already enigmatic figure.

Yes. They deemed him crazy and lunatic. Yet were quick to confiscate everything he worked on when he died.

As you can see by my "sig" on this Forum in my profile, I am a big fan of his! 

 Like the title states, I made this thread to share some items of interest. I know that most of the topics that I share here will actually be interesting to many people on the Astral Pulse Forum, even the people that like to peruse from the shadows here. Enjoy, I did!  

The first has to do with Rob Bigelow and his passion to find out what happens after death. He is throwing a considerable amount of money at that question as well.

Tonight being Jan 24th 2021 Robert Bigelow is going to the Guest on the radio show Coast to Coast AM. George Knapp is the Host of the show tonight.
This link will bring you to Robert's challenge for anyone interested in entering it. It goes to his BICS (Bigelow's Institute for Consciousness Studies) project webpage.
http://bigelowinstitute.org/

Robert isn't the only one passionately tackling this question. This link will discuss that further. These guys though are still thinking it all has to do with the Brain and Neurons that make it up.

This item of interest is based on Nicola Tesla's discovery of Alien communication. An excellent article indeed!

 Tides, my BS meter turns on when I hear any talk about a "Lucifer rebellion" itself. I have no problems with the talk and conversations on Lumeria. I may be wrong, probably am. But when I hear anyone talking about any Luciferian connections I can't listen anymore. I don't buy it. That name wasn't even around then! The Lumerian civilization was here way before any of that "religious" rhetoric even existed. Just my opinion!

I just wanted to add this. I am a proponent of the Emerald Tablets. I have listened to many video and interviews based on them and have even listened to the long version of the Emerald Tablet of Thoth Collection. There is 14 videos in the collection. Billy Carson also talks often about Thoth and Emerald Tablets.

 Tides, I went to that link and took the option to listen to the video narrative instead of reading the whole thing.

When I go to listen to a video of that stature, I will put my headphones on, go to my lazy-boy chair and recline it. I then close my eyes and being to listen to the "book" narrative. While listening, I allow any visuals that wish to accompany it to appear. Many times I feel like I am in the time period or at the event that the Narrator is speaking about. I use them as a "walkthrough" of sorts.

This time though, my "BS Meter" started going off early in the video. I continued to listen and got to about the 45 minute part of the video before my BS Meter had filled to capacity and I had to turn it off. The woman's mono-tone voice was distracting. But I don't agree with much of the content. Simply because that is not the way I was "seeing it" playing out.

I live by the adage "I believe half of what I hear, but everything I see"! I have always lived by those words. I am open to listening to other points of view. I listen to quite a few videos and interviews that I don't agree with. But like with them, there comes a point when I have to turn them off. Thank you for the share anyways! 

@Lumaza - could you perhaps point us to your top three techniques for beginners?

They are all great. I would say "The Astral Blueprint" by Szaxx. Steps to Success by Contenteo. Definitely Frank's Phasing, The Vigil, by Major Tom and lastly my last posted technique in my Doorway thread. It all depends if you wish to learn a "direct" or "indirect" method. When you are new, "indirect" is much easier to attain favorable results. A tech like Superman's "FILD" or Cosmic Iron's "LDing for Idiots" are great indirect techniques that are very easy to do.
My Doorway tech is a direct technique that you do while fully consciously aware from the beginning to the end. The last tech I posted in that thread will definitely lead to a "sneak peek" of what can be. The same thing with the "Phantom Wiggle" thread. My Doorway techniques applies some of the things, like the use of a focus of directional motion awareness, that are found in the Phantom Wiggle thread.

If I was new, I would read them all and see which one "feels" right to me. Do the technique you read and see what happens. After a while, if you don't see favorable results, switch to another. Give it a fair chance though.
