 Nameless and Tides, what I wrote here was the short version of what i saw. Because of the many "cut-scenes", like over to the Vatican, United Nations, Russia, China, etc., it really was quite a experience. I got to see the way the World as a whole "assimilated" and reacted to the discovery of the Ark. A large part of the scenario had to do with the history of the Ark as well. Unfortunately, that history is not told/revealed in the history books that we read today. There are though a few Authors/researchers that have actually delved into this "rabbit hole". But mainstream Science/Archeologists immediately jumped all over them.

The Dream scenario lasted quite awhile and I was shocked myself to see that I remained consciously aware through the entire thing!  

Thank You for sharing that link Tides!   I haven't read it yet, but am definitely planning to later tonight. I like reading and listening to video interviews during the wee hours of the morning, during what is known as the "Psychic Quiet time". I think that's why I like the late nights/early mornings so much. There is a major lack of "conscious clutter".

 Last night I had the ultimate "Observer Dream". At no time whatsoever, (while I was consciously aware that is), did I become a "Actor" or part of the scenario.

Before I went to bed I made a mental request. That request/intent was to see ahead what 2021 had awaiting us. Cue the Dream.

I see that I am watching the dig for treasure at Oak Island. Once in awhile on Tuesday night, I will watch that show on the History Channel. It's called "The Curse of Oak Island". Many seasons later, they still haven't found anything. It has it's moments though. There is a ton of Historic research in it, from Pirates to Knights of the Templar/Free Masons. But in my Dream it was different. By the way, this entire Dream was in your face HD, like what you would see in the theatres. Yet, there was no other audience but myself, That I knew of at least.

Back to the Dream. So the guys on Oak Island learn about a map that supposedly has the location of a treasure. That treasure is the "Ark of Covenant". The story goes, the "Knights of the Templar" hid it, with the Pope of the times okay, because it contained a secret energy source that had to be contained and hidden away from all. The family that has the map is finally open to sharing it for the first time ever. The Oak Island survey crew quickly set up a meeting to view it. Some say and I agree that the Ark of Covenant was some kind of device. They date it back to the Pyramids and say that it was found in what is called the tomb (even though no body was found in it) that is found in the King's Chamber. That tomb seems to be the same dimensions that the Ark of the Covenant was. Just a quick note, I believe the Pyramid itself is a device as well.
There were many "cut scenes" just like you find in a real movie as well.

So now, they fly the owner's of the map to Oak Island and are studying it in what they call their "War Room". On the show, that is what they call the room as well. They see that it has been signed by the Pope of that time. There is a letter attached to the actual map as well, written at the time period the map was made.
Long story short, the guys at Oak Island are given the letter and Map. The first thing they do is send it to a specialist to find out it's authenticity. They find out it is authentic. But in the letter it says there are two copies, not one and that the second copy is in the Vatican Archives. Using their clout and social media pressure they get the Vatican to release their document as well.

Now, they know this is the real deal. They immediately move all of the boring/digging machinery over to the new location and begin to dig. The Canadian authorities/Gov't is now starting to watch this. So are other Gov'ts around the World.

They begin digging in the spot shown on the map and when they hit a depth of 240 ft something extraordinary occurs. The drill that is digging the bore hole along with the entire multi ton machine doing the digging, hits something and is catapulted high into the sky and it lands 60 miles away in the Ocean. They seem to have hit upon some kind of extraordinary energy source.

Now everyone in the World's attention is on this. The American Gov't strongarms the Canadian Gov't to take over the research here. A representative of the American Gov't then goes to the United Nations to talk about the find. But what he says isn't what people there want to here. He basically tells them all that the American Gov't will keep them all updated on what they find and that after they have studied the source of the energy they will share their findings with the World. The Gov't of the United Nations don't like that. They believe that the World Gov't should work together and a representative of each Nation that wanted in, should be able to be there right of the get go. The American representative refuses that proposal and now tensions are starting to grow. Soon after the American Gov't issues a warning that any spy Satellites found overhead will be dealt with immediately.

So, the dig is on. The World tensions have now grown to a fever pitch. The World powers, Russia/china etc. realize that whoever has this new power source is going to be able to run the World with no way to stop it.

War is imminent now. Just as a war is about to begin, the researches on Oak Island hear a sonic boom. It has come from under the ground. They then here the very clear and audible words of a very low voice that says "This is why you are not ready to see". The hole immediately begins filling itself back in, in dramatic fashion, all the way to having grass and trees on it, exactly the way the Island looked before any digging had begun. The Island is then cordoned off as untouchable to all. The End!

This was one of the most unique LDs I have ever had. It would make a fantastic movie as well. Looking at what I was shown and what my initial question about what to expect in 2021, it seems we are in for more "surprises". The Ark of the Covenant could be seen as a "revealing". The fact that we weren't ready to see could mean that we as a race still need to grow before we are able to up a grade. We as a whole weren't ready, because we still live in a World that is governed by greed and also fear. The other Gov'ts in the United Nations had the idea to come together as a whole. But many of them had their own separate agendas for the whys. It was the President/Leader of the United Nations that had the best intentions. That's a major plus for us going forward. It needs to start somewhere.

Love the link, beautiful voice for beautiful images.

She does have that "Angel-like" quality to her. I used to listen to that before I did my Phase session. Now I have it memorized! 

Just want to back up what you are saying here. I do use eye magic, I reckon we can call it that. It works. And would like to re-iterate your mild warning about moving into the visual or bringing it to you. Definitely if you are new move into your visual as bringing it to yourself can result in some pretty intense episodes.

Eye magic, interesting name for it. It fits though! 

Once you are locked onto the new scene, it can get quite intense. I have had many very unique adventures. One time, I was moving quickly into the cave. Ahead of me I could see a fork in the path. But instead of going either left or right, I kept going straight through the rocks in the middle. That was during a lesson where I was being taught that i no longer had "constraints". Another time I moving through the cave like tunnel and it filled up with water, I spent the rest of that experience in a underwater adventure.

For those of you that have a hard time initiating the forward moving mental focus, i have a few tips. First off, "remember" what it's like when you are on a Rollercoaster ride or even driving itself. Don't visualize it, "remember" it. Why I say remember it is because memory is related to the Mind's eye. Believe it or not, your memory is ever lasting. You just need to learn how to access it all. You can go back many lives if that's your intent to.
Second, you can also use a "pace car" if needed. Meaning, instead of being inside of the Rollercoaster car, you are watching it from a close proximity behind it. You still will experience the motion, just not as intense.
Third tip. Start slow. Even when you are first targeting a direction, top left corner, etc., during the awareness portion of the initial process. This isn't a race. No one is "grading" you. This entire exercise is to teach you how to learn to move your awareness and then to hold it focused on one scenario to see it through. It is also to make you aware period of the state of mind/mental frequency that you now find yourself in.

I've skimmed in and out of the Frank method stuff over the past 8 months or so - is this Wave 1 audio track that you guys are referencing available in like a youtube video or something? I've been thinking what I can do to be able to project during the day, in stead of at the crack of dawn when part of me just wants to sleep!

Grumpy, check out this sub-forum, it's loaded with great techniques to help with a daytime shift in consciousness. It's the sub-forum you just posted in. Every single one of those techniques can be used for daytime projections. Well, except for Bedeekin's "pre-nap" method. That's a very good one. But you can only go to the well a few times on that one. Any more than that, your body gets used to what you are doing and sees it now as "routine, so it doesn't get "shocked" anymore. "Self-Hypnosis" will get you there as well.

You could use Binaural Beats and Isochronic Tones as a way to "prime the pump" as well. I have used Bin Beat/Iso Tones and  Hemi-Sync in the past to actually shift, but found when the program ended, so did the experience, I then began using them before a session, just to help me shift into the proper brain frequency that was necessary to have a shift in consciousness. After awhile though, I could drop those "training wheels". I now know not only how to attune to, but also how to "recognize" those different frequencies without the "tools". I still enjoy Bin Beats and Iso Tones though. They are so relaxing. For me. they have to have some kind of musical accompaniment. I don't care for the ones that are "mono tone".

When i  was new to this practice, I came across this really bizarre Bin Beat program called "Box Nirvana 2". I had it saved on my old computer. When I upgraded to new computer, I lost all of my old files. But recently I did a youtube search and low and behold, I found it there again. It is a very unusual program with many shifts in it's sound/pitch and tempo. I have a feeling it goes through a number of "frequency" changes as well. It's almost "haunting". It is a "mono tone" program though. Here it is. Good luck and Safe Travels!

 It's funny how you brought this up today! I just watched this video on the exact same topic last night. He gives a compelling argument for and against Professor Abraham's theory.

 This post is so overdue. I have been wanting to make it for months now, but for some reason something would happen and show me the time wasn't right at that moment.

I sub-titled this "Awareness and Observation" because that is exactly what we are going to "do". We are going to utilize our awareness as we observe. Yes, we are not going to "try", we are either going to do or not do. It's that simple. For more on the difference between the two, read this thread I created here. I know it's hard to to take the word "try" out of our usage. Many times it is the right word for your sentence. The thing is, we are going into this with a positive attitude and absolutes. Being aware of your own use of the word "try" and changing it to something more positive and absolute will help you in any of your endeavors in life in general.
If you do read that thread, please pay particular attention to the post near the bottom of the thread where I give "Thanks" to Xanth and all of the active Moderators that are still here today. I also want to say Thank You to the Moderators that came before them. Without them, we wouldn't have such a great Forum or any Forum here today to come to, period!   They don't hear this enough and they should!

Now that we have that out of the way, we can move on to the "Awareness and Observation" part of my post.

What we are going to do is very easy. It can be used by new members to get a "feel" for what it's like to have a non physical/altered state of being experience. For those more experienced, it makes a great launching pad for very quick shifts. If I were a new member and serious about learning more about this practice in general, I would invest in or acquire a book that you can use as a Journal to log and go back to when you wish to review/view your progress.

When I do what I call my Phase soaks, which is Phasing while lying in bathwater in my tub or even when I close my eyes to go to sleep at night, I say in my mind "By my act of will, I release my focus over my physical body". The term "By my act of will" has been used in Magick for years now. I have studied Magick and Hypnotism for many years now. Both of them are very similar in this practice here. By mentally stating that I have already started the mental disengagement or disassociation process from my physical body.

 As a teen. I thought that Magick would instantly create what I wished to have manifest immediately upon request. Yes, I was young and foolish, lol! I studied all the disciplines. I studied the work of the past famous Magickians of all times. I came to see after years though that Magick was "focused will and intent" itself. It's the same as Prayer and this practice that we do here.  Any action, mundane or magical that helps fulfill one's "True Will" is Magick.  Both work on a principle theologians call ex opere operantis, or "by the work of the person working," meaning that a person's preparation and other measures of "fitness" or "skill" will affect the outcome. Why all the talk on "Magick"? It's because of the use of ritual. The use of chants/Mantras, Sigils/symbols and the like. I have found that that is where the true Magick lies. The "Energy signatures" that are being utilized time and time again. Some dating back to the times of the Ancients!

I have found that those things, the Mantras/mental chants, Sigils and symbolism are also found in our practice here. Look at the Monroe Institute and others like it. They are involved in group work sessions and because of that they use the same non-physical meeting locations, the same Binaural Beats/Hemi-Sync, the same mental prep. The Monroe uses a large Crystal for it's NP meeting area. Many meditations use the use of giant Crystal to "get in sync" as well. Fancy that! Just as many Magick users will use the same Sigil, that has it's own meaning or chant the same words that have been uttered by Magick users for ages. It's almost like a "energy signature" has been created. I too use a Mantra at the start of my sessions, I will talk about that a bit later. Why all the ritual? Because it has in the past and still does continue to work.

So now onto this very simple technique. What do you need to do? Sit down/lie down, whatever is more comfortable for you. Take a few breaths and relax for a moment, open eyes of not. Just take a few minutes and relax.

Now close your eyes and just notice the darkness before your eyes. You are now a "Observer". What does it look like? Is it completely dark? Is it grainy or grey? Likely if you are doing this in a lit room or near a window, you will have some kind of light, although dim, still being seen through your closed eyes. If you wish it dark, use a "Blindfold" of some kind. I sleep every night with a Sleep Mask on because I want the darkness black as it can be.

So, now you are just noticing the darkness there. What do you hear? What do you feel? Mentally note this and still just observe. Now, look up at the left hand corner of the darkness. After a few seconds there, switch over to the right side corner, then go down to the lower left and lastly the right. At this point your eyes are chasing these locations. That's okay. That will change in time. Repeat this for a few minutes. Don't strain your eyes. Just look over in those direction. After a few cycles of this, return your focus back to the center of your screen and just look at the darkness there. What does it look like" Can you describe it? What do you hear? What do you feel? Be aware of all those things. Mentally note them and move on.

We are now still focusing directly straight in front of us. Now without moving your physical eyes to look, I want you to be aware of your upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right corners of your visual screen. Don't look at them. It's time to just be aware. The physical eyes aren't needed for that. After a few cycles, return your focus back to the center of your screen. Just be aware of it. What do you see? Has the darkness changed at all? Is it still the same flat dark screen or is there now a sense of depth? What do you hear? What do you feel? Do this for a few cycles and either abort for the day or you can move onto the next step. The next step involves adding a sense of motion to the exercise. But if you are new, you already have seen enough for now. Baby steps!

For those that want to move on, we are now just being aware of the darkness in front of us. See it as a dark cave or hallway. Now we want to very slowly put a mental intent to move forward into the darkness. I do want to say that there is a difference between you moving into it and it moving towards you. When you move into it you still have a sense of control. When it moves towards you, it can get very intense quite quickly. I wouldn't suggest that for those of you that are new to this practice.

So now we have engaged a mental focus of the movement forward. Once again, the mental noting. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you feel? Are you sensing the etheric tactile feeling of moving forward? Be aware of any visuals that appear here. Your only intent right now is to mentally move forward into the depth before your closed eyes. At this point you may experience a visual that you didn't intend of creating. People that are new to this practice will likely chase that first visual with their physical eyes. That's okay though, no harm no foul. It takes awhile to learn enough control over your mind while practicing Astral Projection.

Now go adventure. You have a choice, you can engage your focus/lock onto the first visual that appears. That experience will likely be short lived though. I mentally note it and observe it with a air of curiosity, but then I move on. Sometimes though the visual is incredibly detailed right away and I can join the scene at hand.

That's it. That's all it takes. Do this often. Get used to the many depths and layers of darkness or light sometimes. It doesn't always have to be dark. Many times it's a swirling vortex/tunnel of color. Make it a welcome part of your own "Ritual"!  


Now to the section of my Mantra and why it was chosen for me. It was prefect fit for my mindset as well. Those of you that know me here know that MJ and I have  been Merchants at Renaissance Faires for years now. Our "claim to fame" there comes from the beautiful Dragon Sculptures that MJ, my beloved, has been creating for years now. We call them Elemental Dragons and I have a special Scroll that accompanies each Dragon. That's why the Mantra I use is so powerful. It has been used for many people for years now. Many people use it in the intent of "Healing". I use it in the same way as well. For healing those that will "accept" it. I have found that many people don't or won't accept it. That somehow they are being blocked on some level, even though in their physical mindset they are fighting tooth and nail to survive.

So here it is. It is based on the Elements and Sprit within as well. What so special about the Elements, Air, Earth, Fire and Water. Well, they are our "lifeforce" here in this reality. Everything revolves around them.
The Mantra uses the syllables "RA, MA, DA, SA, SA, SAY, SOH, HUNG".
You can listen to being sung beautifully at this link here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OGjZST8aRc&feature=emb_logo

I use a accompanying visual to go with each individual syllable. For RA, I see a flame, some kind of fire or the Sun. MA, has to do with some kind of flowing water visual. DA, represents the Earth. Trees, flowers, land etc. For SA SA SAY and SOH, I see a sky. It can be blue sky, cloudy sky, even a dark sky at night. For HUNG, I feel a burst of energy flowing outwards from my being, dispersing my Healing intent to those that need it. Many times the visuals will just appear as "mental associations" of each symbol's meaning. I just observe as they do.

I mentally repeat this Mantra 3 times. By the time I am finished this Mantra I am already experiencing a change in the depth of the darkness behind my closed eyes. Because of the brief visuals that accompany each syllable, i have already lost all of my focus on my physical body. Wish is what we want and strive for. That's when the shift is free to occur. Lastly, when I am finished my Mantra, I go back to another term that is used in Magick and that is "With harm to none and only Peace and Harmony in the Multi-Verse, so mote it be, so it is done". I then move onto my next intended or chosen destination/focus for that session.

 Just curious Dragonscrying. Are you a Poet or are you aspiring to become one? Your delivery in all your posts is very Poetic. If you aren't already a Poet, you should be! You have a definite calling in that direction!

 Greetings and welcome to the Astral Pulse! 

Frank's threads are a great place to start. I have read them about 10 times over and still go back for pointers today. You will find that many people make this practice much harder than it needs to be. It all centers around focus and the ability to hold that focus. There are many ways to do that. You just have to find a way that you yourself are comfortable with. You will find this portion of the Forum very helpful to do just that.

Seeing / feeling,  silver, (transparent), cord tethering me to my self, thrumming, as wind, tugging, bouyant.

Quicker than lightning striking, snapped back, physically jolted, accompanied by a cracking shot comparable to a .32cal..

One is never separated from self.

Follow the silver cord.

Welcome to the Astral Pulse!  I love the name!  If you knew me you would know why I said that, lol!

To this day, after more OBEs than I can count, I have never seen any kind of cord. I did have a experience a few years back during a Sleep Paralysis induced OBE whereas as soon as I got out of my body, I was catapulted at extreme speeds into the "ether". I then was slingshotted/retracted, (don't know if that's a word) back into my body as fast as I was launched out of it. It was a very quick experience, but I got to see what it's like to be a "yo-yo", lol! 

 While perusing this Forum I came across this thread from the past here and so I am "bumping" it.

I also experience the "Observer" mode in my Dreams. Many times they begin like Selski said above, "just like watching a movie". Many of my Dreams scenarios will start in the 3rd person mode and somewhere along the line they change into a 1st person mode, with me now an actor in it, not the audience anymore. Many times that change will occur just as the "sht hits the fan" or things begin to get really intense. I then seem to be "tagged in" and now I have to come up with some kind of "peaceful" solution. If I come in guns blazing, the scene will normally end then and there, just to begin a few seconds later as a "restart", what I have always called "Re-scripting".

I really liked the answer that Leo gave here too. What do you think of this? Does it happen to you and well? Penny for your thoughts! 

#@*$ spellcheck! Lol.

In your defense EV, we do "wiggle" when we "giggle"!  

[change your mindset, changes your reality]

Is there an intelligible difference between "using" emotions in Non-Ordinary Reality and "having" emotions in Non-Ordinary Reality? Because it would seem like an impossible task to not "have" emotions because like it or not, we're human. Or do we lose points for simply having emotions while we're Out, too?

Here we are Human. There, we are consciousness. Well, here we are too, but we will save that conversation for another day. In other words. "change your mindset, changes your reality"! I say that often here on this Forum because it has been the one thing that I have definitely found to be the truth!

So, OK, like seriously? I was planning on going there for maybe like 3 years or so to get a break, but NEVER COME BACK?! We'll see about that. I don't see why they would tell me I can't talk to A- directly when not that long ago they JUST brought him into one of my projections! Not only that, but they chastise me for giggling too much, or whatever, meanwhile every time I ask to be taken to my spirit guides, especially A-, and whenever I ask for clarity about my mission, they put me off or stonewall me. Talk about setting me up for failure and then blaming me for it. Like you want me to be "more serious" or whatever? How about when I ask serious questions about serious things you FLIPPING ANSWER ME.

She gave you your answer!
"She said I was only on Level 2! It's about what percentage of time you're operating on each level, that's where you're considered generally at. Most of the time she said I'm on Level 2 because I'm too "giggly."

Start there. Ask what it takes to move up a level.

I understand the "giggly" comment. For some reason there we seem to need to be "desensitized" there. Many of the tests I have had centered around me not using my emotions to accomplish the task at hand. I say "desensitize" but it's more like "de-humanize". To move up a level you need to learn to tame your Human/emotional/ego side.

"A" showed up in your earlier experiences because it was necessary at that time. Now, you have moved into a area where "A" isn't needed anymore, but "B" may be soon.

When I was new, I had a "A". He was my deceased brother in-law. He taught me quite a bit about not only my new surroundings, but also how to navigate them properly. When he had finished his teaching and I had learned what he came to taught me, he was no longer needed and because of that he never appeared again. In his place was "B" and when  B wasn't necessary anymore, "C" arrived and so and so on. I don't know where I am in the alphabet today, lol!   :-)

Sounds like a great experience and a significant event if you had multiple OBE exits and it can be very taxing since you don't know exactly when it will end.

This sounds just like what I call "Re-Scripting". The scenario keeps playing out over and over again in rapid fire, until the task at hand is finally completed the way it should be for that "test". Who this test is being initiated by, I still haven't been able to discern.

Just recently I heard a interview with a Author and Spiritual Teacher who was speaking on "Lucid Dreaming". He had all kinds of fancy names for all the different levels of LDing, like Luminal Dreaming, Sub-Luminal Dreaming, all kinds of terms. He talked about Tibetan Dream Yoga as well, something I experience still today. The technique that he teaches in seminars and workshops is basically WBTB (wake back to bed), a technique that most of here are familiar with. He had a life changing experience at age 20 while meditating that led to his fascination and immersion into the subject. That soon led to his worldwide travel where he acquired knowledge from all different disciplines and Cultures.

He did state though that Dreaming comes from the brain itself. He also said that OBEs, Astral Projecting and even NDEs come from the same area of the brain. Now the interesting part of the interview came when callers could call in with their questions. One lady spoke about how she had LDs quite frequently until the one time she had an idea to try and find the winning Lottery numbers. Not only did her LD end then and there, she couldn't have any LDs at all for a quite a while. The gentleman being interviewed replied that this is something many people experience when they attempt such a thing. He then talked about Karma and how there seemed to be some kind of "policing control mechanism" that allowed you to do some things, but not others. That to me doesn't seem like it is "brain oriented".   He kind of contradicted all that he had said earlier in the interview. Much of his research was based on and found while investigating the Eastern belief system of LDs and NP exploration.

   ..Finally when i surrendered to the experience,
 

Those words that I quoted were the single most important thing in your entire post above. After you surrendered to the experience, things began to happen. We don't always need to be in control. The NP has it's own way of teaching you that quite quickly! 

 I will listen to that tonight. Thank you for the share! 

 Hi Grumpy! Your are doing great here! 

I didn't want to interrupt EV's "Tutoring" here. You are in good hands, EV is a great teacher.

Anyways, I replied here because I came across this fantastic Binaural Beat youtube video and immediately thought of you! Enjoy! I still am! 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv55kBNyAl4

Okay Lu. Think you might could help explain the goal. I don't think I'm doing so well with that.

The goal I am focused on is in creating a "mental pathway" that we can all use to get to get in "sync" with each other. I have been shown that it can work if all involved are mentally committed too the task at hand. Throughout the years I have been in this practice, others here and I myself have found ways to keep up that commitment.

My very first way to do just that when I was new here was to purchase a actual CD program based on Astral Projection. At that time, money was tight, (always has been for MJ and I), so even though the program was only $200.00, it meant more to me on a mental commitment level than the contents on the program itself. It helped me, but I could have found that info on this very Forum here. The next big mental commitment i did was when I purchased my Light/Sound machine. That was much more expensive. It did what it said it would do. It gave me a great NP focus. The problem was, when the program/session ended, so did the NP focus. I had to learn how to prolong the focus myself. The same thing happened when I used Binaural Beats and Isochronic Tones. So, I started using those "tools" before my session. As kind of a priming the pump. Each one of them help you to lower your brain frequency. Once you have done that enough, you find that you start getting used to that state of mind. You notice how deep you are in the "layers", as Omcasey puts it and can hold yourself there. In this practice, awareness of where you are is half the battle. Learning what those layers feel like can help you to navigate them.

 Congratulations Nameless! 

To others that may seem like a little thing, but to you it's enormous. I refer to the words of songs often in my reply because they seem to hold the truths. This time it's "Don't Know What You Got Till It's Gone". That is the title of a song by the 80's hair band Cinderella and is so so true.

Always sending healing thoughts to you my Dear! 

 I'm in! 

Today during my own Phase soak session, I saw that we need to all "mentally" be on the same page. Our "mindset" needs to be in sync. I also saw that we each need to find a way to also be mentally committed to the project at hand. I have some ideas on to do just that!

 Tides, those are "Mandala's". Mandalas are sacred symbols that come in all shapes and forms. Here is a link to a website that does a fantastic job explaining more about them and their purpose.
http://www.mandalascapes.com/aboutmandalas.html

That is a special circumstance for sure for MJ, totally understand! Wishing for a miracle!

Thank you for your kind words! 

 They are living for today, not tomorrow! 

We had a few family members here for Christmas, even with MJ's terminal Cancer. She said she "had" to be around loved ones, even though it might cause her demise. The people that did show up knew this Christmas would likely be her last. So, it was a special day here for all!   Still, I know what you mean.

 Plasma, how do you expect to teach others when you don't fully understand yourself?  

Plasma, I want to explain why I asked that question a bit further. I know people here that know you from your posts here and have corresponded/replied with you throughout the years you have been here would be thinking the same thing. I get to be the "bad guy" though and actually post the question myself. I read your above thread last night and wasn't going to post anything, but then a few things happened that kind of compelled me to reply to you here.

I couldn't/wouldn't write a book on OBEs/Reincarnation/UFOs/Spiritualism, the NP itself, etc. because I don't fully understand them myself. I do know many ways to get into a good NP state. But I don't know any of the W's yet, the whys, where's. what's, who's, etc.. I haven't confronted all there is to confront, seen all there is to see and still to this day, i experience failed experiences.

Case in point. This morning I had a "False Awakening". For those that aren't familiar with that term, it's when you think you are awake and are going about your day, then all of a sudden you wake up for "real", to this physical reality here. If you are aware enough in it, you can see reality fluctuations. But because it catches you off guard, you get duped.
So back to my experience. I awoke, got out a bed to start my day and I see that on the floor, our carpet, is a few pieces of jewelry. They look familiar to what MJ wears. I follow the jewelry trail and see now it is Crystals. I work with Crystals when I make my Crystal Amplifiers. So, we have them all over the house, just not on the floor though. At this moment I am in a 100% physical mindset. As I get further down the hall, I see my Step Son and few other familiar faces gathered around the dining table there. There seems to be two trails of Crystals and jewelry now. One leads to our dining room table, the other leads down our hall and to the doorway.

First I approach the table and on it is a good sized piece of Apple Pie. Just the way I like it with melted cheese on top. I then turn and follow the other trail. But as I am following it towards the door, my mind starts to contemplate what is behind the door. In other words, I am starting to force control. Well we all know what happens when you force something in the NP. It just ends then and there. So, I wake up now for real and am disoriented and disappointed.

My second experience happened in today's Phase soak. I call it a Phase soak because I am Phasing while lying in my bathtub. I began with my Healing Mantra and daily NP rituals, you could call it "priming the pump". Then I start noticing the darkness before my closed eyes. Very quickly a image goes from right to left, right by me. After a few moments, it happens again. This time I can see it is someone on a flying broom, ala a Witch or Faerie or something. The image quickly disappears to the left side just off of my current visual screen. I can feel my physical eyes chasing it at this point. The visual keeps appearing though and each time they get more vivid. Now I can see it is a female and she is wearing pastel colored flowing clothing, like a dress I guess. The flowing dress soon turns into a vortex of color. It's not my physical eyes following the scene. Now it is just "being" there.

The next time it happens, I engage my focus to follow her. I do for awhile and she leads me to a new depth or "layer" should I say. Now she is gone, but I am in a much deeper darkness. A new visual appears and I decide to follow it too. While following, I feel like I am on their tail, I guess like a drone or something. The visual disappears and now I see I am even deeper. I am very aware or the all the depth around. Another visual/focus target flies by and again I follow it. When it disappears I quickly realize I am in a even deeper level of depth. This layer is so extreme , so profound, that I have to abort my whole session then and there. It was so overpowering, it frightened me. Next time, if I get a next time, I will hold on longer.

As you see, I failed twice. Once because of my physical mindset taking over instead of my NP mindset. That's what happens via false awakenings though. They catch you off guard and dupe you. There is no exit symptoms in them.
The next failure came as a result of a what I saw as a "fear test".

Both of these circumstances I have never read about in any books by any of the Authors of Astral Projection/Out of Body Experiences. I have experienced a number of things that I have never read about, nor heard talked about by any of those Authors.  I have also listened to youtube videos on topic of OBEs/AP. Many of them don't have a clue on what they are talking about. They had a few experiences and now are supposed experts on the subject!
