Hallo Kestrel and welcome
Yes there are a lot of members "crossing over" from Astral Viewers to Astral Pulse. And vice versa too.

Hall everybody

First off a special greeting to Bedeekin. 

Second. IMO the best way to track down Frank Kepple is to contact the people who knew him. Did Adrian or any of the other mods have any type of extensive written pm/email contact with him back in the period 2003-2006?
How about a web search (or did Contenteo already do that?)
Surely Somebody must have exchanged emails or pms with him back in the day.

["New Orleans Phase"]

Greetings everyone.
Here is another in the series of my recent OBEs. Although somewhat short and not very dramatic this projection was another successful transition from a dream into the astral. That is the method that I have focused on lately and it just seems that it might be starting to pay off in a big way. 

"New Orleans Phase"

Monday April 4, 2011 (OBE # 105)
   This began as a dream. In the dream I was living somewhere in New Orleans with Harry. For some reason I got into a nasty verbal confrontation with him. So I left and was living in a one room bedroom (probably in a boarding house).
   OBE # 105 I came to astral awareness after separation out of body had already occurred. I walked to the window in the small bedroom and peered through it. A grass lawn near a brightly lit city street was clearly visible. I tried to go through the window yet had trouble doing so. Finally, after several attempts, I just did manage to phase through it.
   Yet the outside had now changed into a long indoor hall. So I walked down the hall then went upstairs to look for people. The few people there were all unfamiliar. I found a bedroom and got into bed.
   A short time later I was harassed by a black man. We  got into a vicious fight. After that I met 2 familiar women. We went upstairs to their third floor rooms.  We were about to go to bed together when this ended.
   Notes. Time was 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM. The duration was 5 to 15 minutes. I lay on my right side. The location was a BST of New Orleans. There were 2 familiar discarnate beings, both female (Allyssa?, although Harry was only a dream character). There were also several unfamiliar discarnate people about. Deliberate, Emotional, Dream>>into>> OBE, Fight, Teleport, Pranayama (before), Meditation (before), Affirmations (before), Rope cargo net (before). The OBE may have transitioned back into a dream right before the fight because the quality of lucidity from that point on was decidedly subnormal.

Thanx for reading.
Also note that the time was after 8:30 AM. Here I deliberately went back to sleep after waking about 6:30 AM. This is a method (of altering the sleep cycle) that has been suggested by Bedeekin and other successful projectors.

Hallo Ssergiu and a special welcome.
Yes I Am one of those people who also joined AstralViewers. I like both sites. I think you're going to like it here too.

Hallo laroshx and welcome.
I look forward to reading your posts in the forums.

Hallo Boom
Yes, that may well have been a full OBE. However, from your description I am unsure whether you made a full separation or if it was only a partial projection. Either way it Was a good sign of progress. Let me just add that in my experiences OBEs seem to come in bunches of 2 or 3 or 4 in just a few days. So be mentally ready for another opportunity at any time.

Good luck 
Grey

The best way for anyone to prove the reality of OBE and astral projection is to experience it for themself and then decide. I would add one item regarding proof and that is that the "Phasing"method of OBE is VERY similar to remote viewing. And remote viewing HAS been proved to be effective. After all, the US Army And CIA ran remote viewing programs (secretly of course) for many years and there were many verified successes with those programs.
Second, regarding proof, there are Many documented cases of people who were out of their physical bodies during a NDE (Near Death Experience) who heard and saw things that they could not have seen or heard otherwise and these Were later verified as true by either medical personnel or family members (or both). See www.nderf.org for a huge list of NDEs (many of them containing verifiable information.)

Hallo d3nd3 and welcome.
First I have posted several of my most recent OBEs in this forum. Look for the titles --
"OBE Road To Hell",
"OBE Late For Wakeup",
and "OBE Short Evening Walk" (among others) all by greytraveller.

Second, Please try to Not be too impatient regards experiencing your first OBE. Different people progress at different speeds. Some people manage to have their first OBE after only a few days of trying. For many other it takes longer. It took me 6 Months before I managed my first conscious and deliberate OBE. I recently read an account by someone in another webbsite (astralviewers.com btw) who claimed to have had his first OBE after 6 YEARS of trying! So, as you can see, your first OBE might take awhile.

Good Luck 
Grey

Hallo Timandra
Yes, breaking a 6 month 'dry spell' of no OBEs is always a good thing? It could have been worse though. Once I went over two years with only 1 OBE!
It seems quite obvious that you ended up in outer space though maybe it was an astral counterpart of space and not physical space. Actual physical stars exploding (going nova) are actually quite rare so if it was physical space then you probably saw a planet blow up.
I am curious if at any time during the OBE you attempted to travel to a particular place? Or were you content to zoom about in space. Personally I would have been quite happy to stay in outer space visiting star systems and what not.

Grey

Hallo Thomaaass and welcome.
Yes, you are indeed close to getting out of body. Two bits of advice fer ya.
One, check out the FAQ forum here. There is a Lot of good info there including different methods of deliberately inducing an OBE.
Two, Keep a journal of your efforts. Do include any dreams that you might have. A Personal journal is a Very important tool as it chronicles your spiritual growth.

Good luck & Regards 
Grey

Hallo Dancing Empress and welcome.
Apparently you are proficient both at dream and going out of body. That's a good thing. I look forward to reading your posts in the forums here.

Hallo vpsean and welcome
Negative and scary astral experiences are much the exception and are Not the rule Yet they do happen from time to time. I am Not of the opinion that every bad thing that occurs during an OBE is all a product of one's own mind. I believe that negative hostile beings exist in the astral just as such beings exist in the physical. I have had a few bad experiences out of body myself btw.
But again let me emphasize that such events are only rare occurrences.

Grey

Hallo luthienlv and welcome.
Try not to be put off if you posted an experience at another website and somebody posted negative comments in response. That sort of thing hardly ever happens here  . I too am a lurker on other websites and find that some of those sites are actually quite skeptical and close minded about OBEs and astral projection. Astral Pulse is Very open as most members have had OBEs!

The worldwide acceptance and understanding of OBEs would, of course, be a huge paradigm shift (meaning that people would see the world in a completely new and different way.) Perhaps the larger question that should be asked is "Would the acceptance of OBEs lead to the acceptance of a continuing existence after physical death".
Let me answer my own question. Most probably that answer would be Yes. And That would be the huge, monumental planet-wide shift in consciousness. Of course there is the obstacle of religious dogma to be dealt with. Yet that is too big a topic to be addressed here.

Grey

hallo earthrooster
I would hazard an educated guess that any alien race with advanced technology (like interstellar travel) would most probably have figured out how to travel through the higher dimensions. Such higher dimensional abilities would make space travel much faster. Also it is reasonable to assume that such an advanced civilization would be far advanced spiritually. So perhaps OBEs and astral travel are normal, everyday happenings with those ETS.

Grey

Hallo djed
About that woman  -- strangely, no. She was very sexy and attractive yet for whatever reason I had no interest in her.  Something was on my mind but it never came to the surface and the OBE ended before I could figure anything out.
You are correct though as strong emotions (like sex) can abruptly terminate any projection.

["Short Evening Walk"]

'Allo All
This is another in a series of recent OBEs. Nothing too dramatic or mysterious about this one.

"Short Evening Walk"

Saturday April 2, 2011 (OBE # 104)
   I awoke in astral consciousness outside of my physical body and still inside my bedroom. Shortly I decided to get out of the house so got outside through the front door. It was early evening and was a warm quiet night. I made a right turn at the corner and headed down the hill.
   A quite attractive young woman walked  past me and then she went out into the street and just stopped? For some reason I was not surprised nor curious about this and kept going down the hill to Highland Ave. There I stopped for a minute or so while trying to decide what to do next. I felt uneasy, as if being watched or maybe in a needless hurry. Something was not quite right. Anyhow, before deciding where to go next the OBE simply ended.
   Notes. Time was between 8:45 PM and 9:10 PM. The duration was only 5 to 7 minutes. I lay on my left side. The location was a familiar physical area. . There was only one unfamiliar discarnate person seen. Deliberate (passive), Pranayama (before), Meditation (before), Affirmations (before).


Comments and questions are welcome.

Yuri, Hallo
Am I correct in assuming that you are the Yuri who regularly posts in the //groups.yahoo.com/group/astral_explorers website?
If so I wish to extend a special welcome. Though we have never communicated I have read many of your OBE accounts on that forum. You are a very experienced astral traveller and I look forward to reading some of your OOB adventures here.

Grey

Hallo astralcow
Helping a friend out of body IS possible, IMO although it will probably be quite difficult. Your friend should know in advance when you plan to visit him Out Of Body. Even then he will need to be awake in a dream or in the mind awake, body asleep state for there there to be a good chance for success.

Good luck 
Grey

Hallo Mudskindang
I'm going to agree with Astr4al316 here because if you did Not have any idea during the experience that you were out of body then it Was most likely a dream. If the experience was as real as you describe then some or most of the images were not your own dream images/dream characters. Maybe your consciousness travelled to some type of dream plane and interacted with other dreamers. Yet that would still be a dream and not an OBE or an AP.

Regards 
Grey

Hallo BlueTone
Your intention was to phase out of a lucid dream and into an OBE, yes? Well it certainly appears as if you succeeded in doing so. I'm of the opinion that it Was an OBE. The experience was probably in an in between state of dream and OBE, where it was part one and part the other. However, it does not appear that you created the environment (of the bar and its patrons) which Would have been the case Had it been a lucid dream. The way that you described the bar made it seem more likely have been in a belief system territory at that makes it an OBE (or an AP).

Grey

Hallo Astral316
I have indeed been fortunate recently to have had some long lasting OBEs. It would be nice to claim some special ability or skill in this regard. Unfortunately that is not the case. In fact the next two OBEs (which will posted in a day or so) were both less than 10 minutes in duration. The only correlation that I can find is that the OBEs that begin transitioning out of a dream And already located a good distance away from the physical body DO, in general, last Much longer than those OBEs that start near the physical body.

The DOD and CIA at one time in the past (and probably at present) ran programs with remote viewers. According to insiders these programs Did have some remarkable successes. Though remote viewing (RV) is different than OBE and astral projection there Are some similarities. (The movie "Men Who Stare At Goats" is a looses dramatization of these RV programs.)
My gut feeling says that some secret government org somewhere DOES use OBEs to gather info. I don't know this for a fact, it is only an educated guess. Considering all the untold billions of dollars the US government spends on intel and weapons then putting a couple of OBEers on the payroll would certainly be No big deal.

Hallo moondreamer
It must have been very creepy, being in a totally deserted city! Like something out of a sci-fi movie.
Actually I like blis' second idea -- the city was once inhabited but, for whatever reason, everybody took off. I think it might well be surprising to find out how many belief system territories are created and then abandoned by astral beings who find a better place to reside. Or maybe they moved on to another place to rebuild a newer, more futuristic, high tech society.

Hallo Astral
The term 'mindless meditation' rings true with me. I too attempt to meditate at least once, and as often as 3 or 4 times, a day. I try to focus on closed eye visuals (either random or guided) but, unfortunately, many times (especially late at night) my meditations simply devolve into mindless meditations. Meaning that I actually do nothing else other than drift into trance. And many times end up falling asleep (ooh what a surprise  lol).
Anyways I like your determination. Find a method that works and stick with it. I'm trying to do that with projection to OBE from a dream method but so far the results are only so so. Keep up the good work.
