My first OBE occured spontaneously. In fact, I had barely any knowledge that such an ability existed at all.
I woke up one morning in my best explanation where i was not focussed on any one thing in particular. I somehow sensed everything in my bedroom and saw it all at once in a silvery haze. Not in perfect detail but enough to recognise that a set of draws was a set of draws. How I saw the world in this state of being is up for debate amongst all projetors. The crux of this experience for me was the feeling that I was out of my body. This laid a foundation for the concept of astral projection.
My second experience was again spontaneous. This time I could see 360 degrees which, at the time, I did not fully comprehend. I was staring at my little brother who was at my bedroom door and then I fell quickly back into my body and opened my eyes staring directly at him.
Now hopefully what I have so far said has laid a conceptual foundation for you as my first experiences did for me.
Since astral projection can occur spontaneously as well as consciously, it can be explained that conscious projection is gaining some control over an entirely natural process. One need merely look into the vast degree of literature and observe the millions of claims worldwide of projection to see that the "delusion" assumption is entirely false. Or at least, incomplete. Astral Projection is a very real, and NATURAL process.
You'll notice that everyone has their own preferred way of exit. It is obvious in our expression of OBE'S how subjective they are. For some people exit may take a month, 2 weeks or 5 minutes. Whatever method you decide to put into action is not guaranteed to be the one that will assist you in a successful exit the fastest. What is certain however, is that if you put no methods into action your chances of projection will fall dramatically. Just keep trying.
I hope this helps.
