 Volgerle, I think you are being challenged to heighten and evolve your NP awareness. Over time, when developing a NP awareness, we seem to lack the desire to keep evolving. It has become the new norm and because of that, we seem to overlook the marvel of it all. When I feel myself slipping, I return to my earliest Journals and re-read what got me to where I am today. That seems to light the fire again! 

I think it's important to practice "observe but dont absorb". It's difficult but if we practice, we can start catching ourselves in these moments, reframe our action/reaction and let it go. Trust that if resolution is still pending, it will resolve at the rite time when it's meant to. Replaying and rehearsing will only create more of what we perceive as negative about the situation.   

As an "Empath", you need to be aware of the energies that make up this reality here. My wife would notice when I had accidently, I guess you could say "absorbed" some kind of bad energy at a show. She would notice the immediate change in my mood and tell me to go "shake it out". She isn't here in this realm anymore, so I must be aware of this change myself. Every morning, before a show, I put a bubble, based on the Elements, around myself, that extends out 5ft, and I invite all like-minded, good-natured people and "entities" into it. There are a number of healers and seers at these shows. Some of the Merchants at the Wellness shows that I vend at, actually remove negative energies from a person, in a number of different ways. Reiki, Quantum touch, Shamanic healing and other modalities are used quite a bit there. 

 It's been a while since anything related to Astral travel has been posted on this Forum. A few days ago I listened to this excellent radio show interview with Jimmy Church (the host), and Jason Quitt (his guest), speaking on the topic of Astral travel. Jason seems to have experienced quite a few of the things that I did while learning to consciously shift to NPRS as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion and know that others here would as well. Enjoy!

That we fear how the tool is used is only reflective of human nature and its rich history where power is concerned.

It's not a fear of the tool. It's more like being aware and observing what is coming next. I gave up a long time ago having things like this bother me. Today, I just am aware, and I observe the, at times, insanity in the world today. My thinking is like Lightbeam says, "I guess this is the direction that Humanity today wants to go". Lessons will follow. They always do!

 Here is a new article that goes deeper into the AI quote of Adrian's above.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/far-ai-defend-own-survival-140000824.html

 Last week a friend of mine told me about a new AI app called "Grok". Years ago, my wife was working on a new children's book with a friend of hers. Unfortunately, her Cancer took her before she could finish it. I found her papers and wanted to do it for her. I also found that I was blocked by a number of circumstances beyond my control from finishing the book, at the that time that is. I told my friend that I still wanted to do it, and I that needed to find an Illustrator and Publisher. He then told me about and showed me his Grok app on his phone.

 He told me that a few weeks ago he used it to make a bedtime story for his daughter. He basically told the app the basis of his plot and how many words he wanted, and in mere seconds, a full story was written. He then showed me how it does Art as well. He said to the app to create a photo of a blue bear with a white dog, holding a balloon, in a park setting. In seconds, there it was, but in a real time photo. He then told the app to convert the photo into a colored pencil drawing and once again, almost immediately, there it was. No copyright. No actual creator. The story was his. That basically will kill many forms of Art as we know it. He thought it was great. I saw the damage that it would soon be doing.

 I have been shown repeatedly throughout my physical and non-physical existence that number 5 is the answer. At least that is what I "perceive" it to be.

[I learn what the tool is for, its limitations, how to use it, then use it if it helps me to attain a goal.]

I used the opportunity to state that I see astral projection, and other altered states of consciousness techniques, as being just tools, and not being an end in themselves. I learn what the tool is for, its limitations, how to use it, then use it if it helps me to attain a goal.

That is a recipe for success!     

[1. Overreliance and Skill Erosion]

1. Overreliance and Skill Erosion
Critical thinking decline: People may depend too much on AI for decisions, reducing their problem-solving abilities.
Loss of basic skills: Young people might skip learning essential skills (math, writing, navigation) if AI always handles them.

I just saw evidence of this firsthand. I have never "knowingly" used AI. Today, I was playing a word scramble game that I play for at least half an hour a day, to keep my memory fresh. It is likely AI too. It is a free game I have on my phone and because of that, there are ads at every finale in the board or level I am on. An ad came on that had a woman at a Laundromat. She was taking a photo of her clothing, so she could find out how to wash them. Forgive me if I am wrong, but are there not tags on the back of shirts with instructions on how to wash anymore? At least there is on my shirts. The ad was for a new phone that has a built in ap for AI in it.

 A funny story though. A few years back I had to call a Gov't agency to rectify a problem. I called the number but instead of a person, I was being directed by a "Bot" of some kind. My request was to speak with a live person. They must get that request almost every call. After I voiced my request a second time, "she"/the bot, said in a snarky voice, "if you ask that one more time I am hanging up". AI with an attitude, lol!

It seems I gave you an incorrect impression; I am not spending much time using AI. I just use it as any tool when it helps me with what I need. It isn't the amount of using a tool that matters, but what you do with it; the same with astral projection, which is just a tool too.

It was just a joke, my friend. I should have put the "lol" in brackets. I apologize if it that offended you.

 Every few years we are given a "tidbit", just to satisfy the cravings of the UFO community. That is likely what this is. The video uses Lue Elizondo for it's spokesman. Look up the name "Richard Doty". It worked once and as we know, if it worked in the past, it is likely to be used again. Time will tell though.

 Baro-San, are you two connected? You have been spending a lot of time with each other, lol! 

 It looks like AI is indeed learning from Humans. It has already adapted the "never take blame" frame of mind, lol!

 I wish someone would ask it the hard questions, like we are told how AI will help incredibly in the medical field, and that that in turn will lead to people living longer. I wonder what AI would say would then be the answer to the overpopulation that that will cause or better yet, "what population control mode" would it implement to handle such a problem.

 Almost every positive thing that AI will do, will have still have a negative side as well. It's just that good marketing only lets you see what it wants you to see, the "bright side".

I think "they" wanted to get my attention. Might have to do with retrievals I offered to do again. I also had vivid dreams this night and one was about being trained within a group setting as a kind of paramedic or even emergency doc. So it makes sense.

I think so too. See that as a "wake up call" of sorts. Your new DT (Dream trigger). I think you have some incoming NPR lessons to stay of aware of. That's the way it happens with me. A trigger of some shape or form, that happens repeatedly, will put me on a higher level of awareness that there is some kind of important info, or a "download", that is coming soon.

A few months ago I had conversation with ChatGPT. Here's how it started:

Say hello to your new "Overlords". lol! 

 Learning how to Phase into the NPRs while consciously aware will also lessen the exhaustion you feel after a LD experience, and even an "OBE" itself.

 It becomes "familiar". Unfortunately, it still will have an "emotional toll". That is why I say that learning how to become consciously aware in your "Dreams", is not for everyone. Many times, it will either make or break your waking day!

 As for the comments above and even the photo of the Astral Island. That has always been my "happy place" throughout my life. The imagery of approaching it from above as you descend down to the sand below is awesome. That is when you allow your curiosity to steer your course, don your "Explorer's Cap" and go explore. Many times, I find that an adventure awaits.! 

 In the past here I made a thread attempting to revitalize the motivation to "return to Astral Island". Unfortunately, it died out quickly. There were some great ideas in that may help your own NPR explorations Alex. Perhaps we can stir up some interest to work on some targets as a group. See what we can see and compare our results!  See, being used in more an "observer" roll.

 Welcome back Baro-San!

 I missed the great posts that you made in the past here and am happy to see that you returned to share your knowledge here once again! 

[My point in all this is that- A visit to The Halls of Aventi, Astral Pulse Island, Bee's Barbecue, my group's Retrievals or Starlines adventures...all those experiences are available. It likely depends on a person's individual ability to focus and probably the remaining energy sustaining the destination. If you want better experiences, then put in the work to improve them.]

Since this discussion has drifted slightly into the idea of "group focus", I thought I would add my own ideas and context.

I apologize to Alex for hi-jacking his thread. It has opened to some good discussion though! I'm sure that many here can benefit from this discussion as well.

 EV, you are correct. Not everyone will perceive things the same way. We confirmed that on the Barbecue thread at the EIC too. The NPRs are not just a "visual" experience. They can be experienced in all kinds of different ways. Visual imagery is just one of them and what most people would "expect" to see or experience. The "energetic" side is just as important. Each and every way has something new to show and teach you! Leave yourself open to all and there will be no limits!

 EV, that is such a good quote, that I feel it needs to be repeated again. In bold letters this time! 

Great, thanks Xanth.

The second image represents the original Astral Pulse Island I was involved with.

Throughout the years there has been a number of attempts to take this on as a "group" focus, but unfortunately, it never panned out. I was having great success with it. It truly became and still is, my "Happy Place"! It has evolved quite a bit though. There is always something new to explore there! 

 Over at the EIC Forum of Fred Aardema's, we had a thread dedicated to a focus on a "Barbeque"/meeting area that we could all attempt to access. The thread was called "the Barbecue" It worked, and we were having success, but then Fred shut down the Forum. I was really hoping "B" and the others would come to the Astral Pulse to continue what we were doing. I miss that forum. I miss my talks with Fred too. The forum was made up of people that were well versed in consciously projecting/shifting into NPRs. I am pretty sure that almost every Moderator that is currently here on Pulse, was a member there as well! Good times! 

 That's a great focus target Alex. Make it your "Happy Place" and you will visit it often. Allow it the freedom to "evolve", for it will!  Don't question it will while you are there. Soak all that knowledge in! There is plenty of time to question it later!

 I too do this, but I use doorways, like in my Doorway thread here on the Pulse. I will either give the target or find that the target already has a number, which will correspond to a certain door. While focusing on the darkness before my eyes, I will mentally enter it like one would a cave, hallway, etc.. There I will search until I would find that particular door and enter into it. That is, if I am "allowed" to. Like has been said by many others here on the forum, some doors are not meant to be open, "yet"!

 I guess you could say it is different path that leads to "Remote viewing".

 It's well deserved. Both of you have been paramount to the Astral Pulse's past. present and future existence!

 Adrian, I think many of us here on Pulse share the feeling that "we don't belong here". This seemed to first start at a very early age for me. Everything felt so "alien". I used to sit in the back yard and look at the stars, thinking, "why have you left me here"?

 Now to what you said about everything being inside of us. Years ago, there was a movie about a guy with really bad delusions. The psychologist aiding this man would attack the problem by going into the different "compartments" in the man's head. Each compartment contained some kind of trauma or emotion. He drew a pictorial on the locations he was targeting. He would constantly be walking up and down flights of stairs to get to them. It was like the man's consciousness was a "Labyrinth to all"! 

 When I created my "Doorway thread", I wanted to keep it simple to some imagery that everyone is familiar with like basic colors and geometric shapes. After a while it began to evolve for me and it led me down of journey of opening those "doorways or compartments. At first, I had no clue what was behind a certain door. After a while I learned how to "target" specific doorways. I would use random numbers to see what was behind a certain doorway. To further explore, I re-visit that targeted number and find that many times, the same events or should I say "simulation" would still be in play.

 I was really hoping that one day we could take this a bit more serious and see if groups of people could experience the same or even similar things. Unfortunately, that was my goal, and others did not share in it. I have had many PMs with people throughout the years here that have thanked me and told me how my Doorway technique had helped them reach their goal. The thing is, they were just using the basics of color and geometric shapes. Like Xanth always says though "focus is focus" and it doesn't matter what your focus target is, as long you can "hold" it for a period of time.

 One of the things that I learned while being taught to "navigate" my NPR surroundings, was how to utilize motion. I wrote about that more in this thread here. Robert Bruce's NEW (New Energy Ways) helped me quite a bit by utilizing a targeted focus on "etheric bodily energy" and movement.
 My username in the past here was "Lionheart". I am just sharing that because that is the username I used in most of the thread below.
https://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome-to-astral-consciousness!/how-exactly-do-you-perform-the-phantom-wiggle-method/

 Great conversation. I agree with EV, as usual!

 While noticing the darkness before my eyes, it quickly changes into an etheric movement forwards that seems to be moving into a hallway, cave, corridor, etc. The first time this began to happen, I found a Library at the end of a tunnel. The books looked ancient. I opened one of them but had no clue how to decipher the text at all. Shortly after this experience I awoke abruptly totally disoriented as some kind of "download" seemed to be occurring. The imagery, which I took as some kind "cuneiform", seemed to be just flying by at an intense speed.

 I knew that at the time whatever was being shown to me was for "my eyes only". I say my eyes only because I didn't understand what it all meant and had no clue even how to share what I was experiencing with others here.

 This experience was one of many that finally led me to create my "Doorway technique" that is found at this link here. I will go into this a bit further on another thread that you recently made.
https://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome-to-astral-consciousness!/the-doorway/

 I will add one more thing. There is indeed "structure" in the NPRs (non-physical realms), just as there is in this physical existence here. That means that there is a "ruling force" as well. I have experienced this firsthand in a number of NPR adventures. I guess I am "stubborn" once I have a target in sight, lol! 

 

 

 Welcome Chloe!

 I have a feeling you are loaded with all kinds of interesting insights. I can't wait to hear them! 

 For the last week now, I have been checking out a Forum called "The Elias Exercise forum" and have been quite impressed with his views. His exercises are quite intense as well. I would say they are great for a person that has already experienced the basics of NPR exploration. You can find his "challenges" at this link here. I really like the fact that his teachings, and his findings are very similar to another valued member of the Pulse from the past named "Frank Kepple".
